Wall Cleaning Simplified

If washing "down" a walr is coming up in one of your weekend plans soon, here is a tip from the professionals. You never wash "down" a wall. you wash "up". That's right. The pro's say. begin at the bottom and work up. This prevents the cleaner from dribbling through soiled areas and streaking the surfa~e!

ServiCtMASTER

the ~

When cleaning painted walls, the pro's advise. don't use 100 strong a solution. Strong detergents can take off paint and then, instead of saving on a re­painting job, you may end up having to pay for one after all. Professional wall cleaners, such as Rick of Servicemaster by Rick, say that properly cleaned, a painted wall will take a number of cleanings before requiring re-painting. In fact, many times, ac­cording to Rick. a smoke-damaged wall following a fire can be restored to pre-fire condition by professional cleaning.

Whatever tips he passes on, the professional will still clean a wall in less time than it takes to fill a pail with suds. Most pros use an automatic wall cleaning machine that applies a detergent solution to the surface and rinses it almost instantly, without dribbling all over the floor or furniture.

BETHLEHEM CAMPAIGN

Chief blisters board and politicians: 'the record stands'

Declaring he is "tired of being a political football." Bethlehem Police Chief Peter Fish this week lashed out at the town's Republican administra­tion for installing a public safety commissioner with jurisdiction over his depart­ment. He also accused the board of restricting the depart~ ment's programs by keeping a tight hand on the budget.

Fish said the town govern~ ment's explanation that the new post is necessary because the police department's growth and direction required new leadership "is just an incredu­lous statement to make when we look at the record."

In a statement released to the Spotlight. Fish scored the town board for allegedly with­holding funds for needed programs. reducing the depart~ ment's manpower table and failing to provide advancement opportunities for its members. The chiefs statement said:

"'s the morale down in the police department because of Chief Fish. or is it because they (the town board) haven't made a promotion here in 15 years? Is it that we are 20 men down in manpower? Is it that we need the necessary equipment and moneys to do the job that should be done. the answer is always 'No'? The orderly growth that was promised me as chief of police in the be­ginning has never come."

Fish said the police juvenile bureau he instituted as the first of its kind in the Capital District some years ago to handle problems of teenagers

Chief Peter Fish

"has never to my knowledge been awarded any moneys from the town to produce any programs in all of these years." He added that Sgt. Leo "Pat" Dorsey and Officer Marvin Koonz have conducted youth programs on babysitting. bicycle and traffic safety. senior citizens programs and others, which, he said. were either funded "out of our own pockets or from service clubs and fraternal organizations in the town."

Fish said the department had 30 men four years ago and has 25 today. Two weeks ago the Spotlight reported that the town's 1978 tentative budget provided for the addition of four provisional policemen to the force.

Fish was critical of Council~ man Thomas V. Corrigan. Republican candidate for supervisor. for stating in the recent candidates' debate that the town board appointed a former State Police captain, Ralph A. Tipple of Elsmere, as public safety commissioner

because of his experience and knowledge of state police. Fish said he himself was a graduate of the New York State Police Academy. and added:

.. , would like to know how his expertise as a commanding officer on a superhighway for a good number of years com­pares with mine in the type of crimes - burglaries. assaults, juvenile crimes. family pro~ blems and arson as well as traffic - we-have in this suburban and rural area," a reference to Tipple's former assignment with the Thruway's Troop T.

Fish pointed to "my stand for the past to years against narcotics and drugs of all kinds. speaking out all over the state, where I feel I have left an imprint of good." He declared that he has maintained con­tinuous pressure "against those who use and abuse drugs, and I still feel that marijuana isa very dangerous drug."

Fish, a member of the police force for 26 years and chief for 15 years. said: "I stand on my record. , feel I am second to none in law enforcement and in how I operate the police department ... the record proves that this is one area that people can still walk the streets in the dead of night without fear of a crime against their person." Fish said he had taken competitive examinations for all levels from patrolman to chief. and had studied police

Asked to comment. Corrigan said that "we are very proud of the fact that this is a safe town, and we commend our law enforcement agency." He added that "I also share the concerns Chief Fish has, and this is one of the primary reasons for bringing In someone with Commissioner Tipple's skill and experience to review the overall expertise of the department."

Corrigan pointed out that there had been little change in the relative positions of the police department in the town budget over th·e past five years. The appropriation for the depar.tment in 1972 was $304.000. which was 21.5 percent of tnt: lUWII'~ gCllclai fund appropriations for the year. he said. In 1977 the figure was $505.000. or 22.7 percent of the general fund budget. The tentative budget currently being evaluated by the town board prior to the annual budget hearing allots $542.000 to the police department. or 22.4 percent of proposed general fund expenditures.

PLANNING AND POLITICS

Mocker scores Albany port 'grab' Bethlehem to serve; the Niagara Mohawk generating plant.

Spokesmen at the Capital District Regional Planning Board and the Albany County Planning Board were unable to confirm the report, but said that most of the groups' members were attending a conference in Central New York.

A IO-year member of the Bethlehem town planning board declared this week that the Albany Port Commission has a plan to absorb '''millions of dollars of valuable waterfront land" by annex­ation from the town of Bethlehem. presumably to accommodate future expan­sion of the Port of Albany.

Edward Mocker of Glen­mont, a Republican candidate for the Bethlehem town council. said "there has been a plan voiced by a member of the Capital District Regional Planning Board at a meeting conducted !>y the League of Women Voters to take over planning for the Town of Bethlehem." Mocker added that "this organization is dominated by. political appointees. including three from Albany County. of whom none are from Bethlehem."

In a statement released this week. Mocker said the

Edward Mocker

proposal that Bethlehem "be the first town in the county to have its local planning by the county .. .is purely political and is motivated (by) Democratic­dominated Albany County to take away home-rule from the Republican town of Bethle-hem." .

owner, said industrial properties with an assessed valuation of $18 million within the town of Bethlehem arc included in the area referred to by the term "port." He identified them as lying hetween the mouth of the Normanskill and the Sears Oil Co. plant in Glenmont. The lands. he said. have an assessment potential double the $18 million figure. The port is blocked to the north by locks. and "the only deep-water frontage availahle to the port" lies in the town of Bethlehem, Mocker said. He also pointed out that the city of Albany's water main reaches into

PROt=ILE

In recent years several segments of the town of Bethlehem have been annexed by the city of Albany. They include the Klarsfeld section along New Scotland Rd. between the Thruway overpass and the Normanskill, a segment of. the Whitehall Rd. area, and a section that includes the Graceland Cemetery and an adjoining residential area.

Political maverick gets baptism

Ed Mocker is no stranger to politics but his campaign for a seat on the town board this fall represents a political baptism for the 50-year-old Glenmont businessman.

A sometime party maverick. Mocker and Charles H. Redmond. former vice chairman of the Republican town committee split some years ago with the GOP organization headed for many years by ex-Supervisor Bertram E. Kohinke. Kohinke occasionally referred to Mocker and Redmond as "the M and R playboys." as a rebuttal to their charges that

FOAMED-tN-PLACE

the organization maintained a closed-ranks leadership.

Mocker's candidacy is perhaps the most visible example of the "new look" GOP Chairman Bernard Kaplowitz has brought to the long-entrenched Bethlehem Republican organization. His presence on the 1977 ticket has brought mixed feelings in party ranks: some staunch old-line committeemen are skeptical of this outspoken candidate. others confide that "it's about time." In any event. Mocker's voice on the town council. ifhe is elected. will be heard if not always heeded.

Edward Mocker is the third generation of his family in the United States. His grandfather emigrated from Poland and established a 90-acre farm on Rt. 144 in Glenmont. "Gramps left my brother, Bernie, and me nine cows,' two horses and a $4,000 mortgage," recalls Mocker, a bachelor. The brothers have since built their business into the Three Farms Dairy, one of the largest producer-dealers of milk upstate. Their 460 cows produce all the milk the company sells. and 15 employees operate approxi­mately 750 acres spread through Bethlehem and Coeymans.

Fire chiefs refute 'scare' pressure

Fire chiefs of the five volunteer fire departments in the town of Bethlehem have issued a joint statement disputing allegations by the Democratic candidate for supervisor that the town board's "failure to act promptly on water pressure problems had created a potential catastrophe in the event of fire."

A statement issued under the ~ette!"he:!d of the Voh.!!1teer Fire Officers Assn. of the Town of Bethlehem and signed by the five fire chiefs said that "we do not agree with the statement used by Mr. Edward Stringham in the newspapers and on TV" that a fire catastrophe could occur because of water pressure problems. The statement was signed by Paul Kleinke of Elsmere, John Flanigan of Slingerlands, James Cooke of Delmar, Robert Wiggand of Selkirk and Bert Fuller of North Bethlehem, who said they wished to "reassure the people, commercial establish~ ments and industry in the town that we do have adequate means to combat any fire that may occur."

The chiefs said their departments "have never experienced the lack of water in

In a widely publicized press conference staged for Albany newspapers,and local television news teams. Stringham, the Democratic-Conservative

candidate for supervisor, cited an engineering. rep~rt by J. Kenneth Fraser and Associates in charging that the town faces a water use restriction despite "living in rain up to our eyeballs for months." and that town officials "have had knowledge of this condition since 1975."

Candidate. knocks town youth 'lag'

A Democratic candidate for the'town council has taken the Bethlehem town board to task for what he terms "pulling the usual deep-six act as far as a youth bureau is concerned." John Dinneen of Delmar charged that the town board "has not moved" to apply for 50-percent state aid after a group headed by Rev. Gregory Weider of St. Thomas Church submitted a proposal last year.

Dinneen said the proposal for a Bethlehem youth bureau was submitted to the state in September. 1976. and that the town was approved for such a bureau last June. '"The people are getting tired of these half-hearted replies." Dinneen said in a statement as a meeting of Democratic committeemen. '"The problems of youth are increasing. not decreasing. A fulltime department could be set up to help give youth some guidance. He added that "in looking over the tentative budget. it would appear that there is no provision for the establishment of a youth bureau in the 1978 budget."

Mary Lou Burkhard comes home to her husband and five children in Elsmere with a large smile and aching feet. She spends her weekends going house-ta-house like somebody running for political office. which she is. For this 42-year­old nurse-teacher, it's not only her first venture into the realm of politics, but it's "the first time I've had the opportunity to become involved in anything

- otherthan my family, my house and my job."

But her family, three boys and two girls ranging in age from 19 to 4, "is fast growing up" and the older children get home early enough to take care of the youngest.

Mary Lou is running for a seat on Bethlehem's town board on the Democratic ticket. One of the four council seats currently is held by a woman, but none by a Democrat, nor has there ever been a Democrat on the board.

.. In a town that has a predominantly Republican registration, her campaign is uphill all the way. It is further handicapped by the combina­tion of a full-time job in the Albany school system and hcr family commitments.

So far she has limited her door-to-door canvassing to weekends. Her evenings are taken up by "coffees" and other meetings such as meet-the candidate nights.

With a smile, she related an episode in Slingerlands where one of the doorbells belonged to a Republican committee­man. Mary Lou was unaware of this, and the woman who answered the door was surprised to find that a local candidate was making the rounds without being accompanied by the woman's husband, the committeeman. When they discovered the parties were different, Mary Lou said. "I handed her my campaign literature, we both laughed, and I was on my way."

WHEN YOU NEED IT IT MAY NOT BE THERE! Since 1974, the Bethlehem Water Tank has been running dry. Until now nobody told you about it. THE OFFICAL ENGINEERING REPORT SA YS:

1) "A critical condition exists within the water system in the inability to meet high rates of flow resulting in unavailable fire protection and low pressures. This must be corrected."

2) " ... law sprinkling limitations will be required eventually under any of the alternatives mentioned."

The County Health Department has already imposed a partial moratorium on new development in Bethlehem.

There's no excuse for this demonstrated lack of planning and candor from the present Town Board and Supervisor. Bethlehem deserves first class management, not second­class politics.

DELMAR

Town acquisition of school near

A series of quiet negotiations between the Bethlehem town board and the Bethlehem Central board of education is expected. to culminate this week in the announcement of a purcha'se agreement transferr­ing the Delmar elementary school property to the town.

Members of the school board were alerted by Mrs. Ann Patton, president of the board, to a special meeting on Wednesday of this week, coincident with the regular meeting of the town board. Mrs. Patton declined to reveal the subject of the special meeting, and town officials likewise would not comment in advance of the meetings. However, a source close to town hall indicated representa­tives of both boards had agreed on a price, believed to be $65,000, for the property.

Earlier the town had made a token offer of $1 for the

building and grounds on the basis that local taxpayers owned the property and shuuld not be "bidding against themselves" to retain the huilding for public use. The offer was rejected by the school board, which pointed out that taxpayers in the town and in the school district. were not necessarily the same, inasmuch as some residents of the school district live in New Scotland and some residents of the town live in the Ravena-Coeymans­Selkirk school district. The property has been profession­ally appraised at $96,000.

There was no indication what use the town would make of the 50-year-old structure, nor what improvements or remodeling were contem­plated. Among recent suggestions are conversion to a town hall or a community center.

Teachers contract talks break down

A new impasse has develop­ed in the continuing negotia­tions by the Bethlehem teach­ers' union and the district board of education for a new two-year contract.

A bargaining session at Bethlehem Central High School last Thursday failed to resolve the dispute, according to a state conciliator. and when the Spotlight went to press this week, no further sessions had been scheduled.

Theodore Gerber, concilia­tor appointed by the state Public Employee Relations Board (PER B), said he would consult with negotiators from both sides "to see what options or alternatives we might have." The Bethlehem Central Teach­ers Assn. (BCTA), an affiliate of the statewide New York Educators Assn., is seeking pay raises of 8 to II percent for approximately 240 local teach­ers, while the school board is proposing an additional 20 minutes daily monitoring duty for teachers.

Joseph Kelly, a private consultant and retained by the school board as negotiator. gave a closed-door status report to the school board prior to last week's regular business meeting at 90 Adams PI., Delmar, the night before a scheduled bargaining session. "I was hopeful we could set something up, but it didn't work out," Gerber commented later. "I thought there was some possibili)y we would be able to resolve the matter, but it turned out I was too opti­mistic."

Union teachers in the Beth­lehem school district have been implementing the union's work-to-rule procedure snce mid-September. The BCTA's most recent two-year contract expired June 30.

State conceding Rt. 85 scaledown

State highway crews were scheduled 10 slart this week on the controversial project of resurfacing a 2.3-mile stretch of New Scotland Rd. through the heart of Slingerlands, but this time the hamlet's residents are content: the shade trees that line the road and lend charm to the area will be spared.

State Transportation Commissioner William C. He'nnessy announced Friday that the Dept. of Transporta­tion would repave that segment of Rt. 85 while retaining the present 20-foot width. The decision to abandon plans to widen the pavement to 22 feet and pave six-foot shoulders on each side of the road in order to conform with federal standards means that the state is giving up $350.000 in federal aid, Hennessy said. A 3-mile segment between the intersec­tion with Rt. 85A in New Salem and Rt. 443 in Clarksville will proceed as planned with federal subsidy, the commissioner said.

I-Iennessy said the decision to scale down the project "is in line with the Dept. of Transportation's long-standing policy of environmental protection and responding to community concerns. We explored other alternatives with federal officials and made a strong bid for continued funding, but were turned down. We have high hopes, however, for reconditioning projects next year."

Some 400 Slingerlands residents turned out for a DOT information meeting in New Scotland on Aug. 29 and voiced strong objections to the proposed widening of the road. Their objections were based on the prospect of making the highway more attractive to speeders and other safety factors, the loss of a sid.walk built by the town of Bethlehem for pedestrians, bicyclists and joggers, and the loss of approximately 22 trees. The project also would have forced relocation of utility poles, some

of them in the yards of residents.

The DOT said the first course of new blacktop would be laid within the next few weeks, weather permitting, with the firial coat next year. A bicycle path on the shoulders will not be built as originally announced.

A spokesman for the Slingerlands Homeowners Assn. said a petition drive for the extension of the Slingerlands Bypass from its present terminus at Mahar Rd. to Rt. 85A near the Stonewell shopping center would be continued. Residents who have not been contacted by a volunteer may sign the petitions by calling Sylvester J. Bower, 3 Caldwell Blvd., or Dominick DeCecco, 1574 New Scotland Rd.

Lacking a more positive defense of their stewardship, our Republican friends have treated us to some "campaigning by Webster." Regardless, we presume you already know what the words "government" and "politics" mean!

If that's what they want, let's look at the word "antique." Webster says antique is something 100 years old or more. In Bethlehem, Republicanisni has been here for 184 years. Doesn't that make it antique?

On November 8, let's demonstrate that we know how to treat antiques. They should be relegated to a special showplace ... a reminder of what used to be!

Lane explains ballot issues

The ballot in this fall's election will carry eight proposed amendments to the State Constitution. the Economic Development Bond Issue mentioned last week. and one 'question', Assemblyman Larry Lane offers this review of the issues: •

The tirst proposed amend­ment concerns judicial selection and is designed to provide for the appointment, rather than the election. of the chief judge and the six associate judges of the Court of Appeals. Justices who have been in office on April I, 1978 would continue to hold their offices until the expiration of their terms. Their successors. however, would be appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the State Senate. These appointments would be made from a' list of persons who are found to be well qualified and recommend­ed by a 12·member, bipartisan judicial nominating commiss­ion which would be created under the amendment.

Supporters of the court appointment concept say that the election of justices is inappropriate, since their position requires decision­making based on matters which are not political or popular.

Those who oppose the gubernatorial appointment of judges claim that this is a step in the wrong direction. The reform proposal, they state. would only replace the politics of partisan nomination with the politics of gubernatorial favor. They further emphasize that the appointment of judges

deprive the general

public of direct control in the selection process.

The next three proposed constitutional amendments also concern the courts. The second is designed to restructure the responsibility for administration of the state's Unified Court System. This would establish an administra­tive bo.ard of the courts which

MODERN PHARMACY

Michael Krugman

Our ancestors were firm believers in the values of walking ... Thomas Jefferson, for one, called it "the best of all exercises." ... Others. like Abraham Lincoln, were great walkers themselves ... Yet they didn't know the precise physical effects of walking ... Modern medicine does--and today doctors make assertions about the benefits of brisk walking that have a sound basis in medical facL.1t is not mere walking that they .are talking about--it is brisk walking, which brings the human stride into play ... Says the American Medical Association's Committee on Exercise and Physical Fitness: "Walking briskly, not just strolling, is the simplest and also one of the best forms of exercise." ......

FOOTBALL

Eagles triumph on long gainers

For the first time this season opponents of Bethlehem Central's football Eagles will have to be on the alert for a sharp passing attack. Up until last Saturday, rival teams could gang up on BC's running game without worrying about the

I overheads, but all that changed • at Whitesboro last week.

In a non-league game, Steve Nowak, the Eagles' junior quarterback, connected on seven for 12 in the air. hitting Jim Giacone four times for 152 yards. One of those catches went for a 71-yard TO and another for a 46-yard gainer. Giacone, a 6-foot-1 junior end. barely missed another touchdown when he took the opening kickoff, burst into the open and then slipped on the

, muddy field after traveling 53 yards. The Eagles lost the ball on a fumble two plays later, but after stopping the host team. scored quickly on the Nowak­Giacone 71-yard bomb.

"It was one of our better passing days," remarked Coach Art Ritchko in a masterpiece of understatement. "It will rnean a lot to us from now on if we can keep the other defenses honest." The Eagles entertain Scotia in a non-league game Saturday and then wind up their Suburban Council slate with Shaker and Columbia. BC stands 4-2 on the year, 3-2 in the Council.

Voorheesville Central's football machine continues to roll, generating a good head of steam for the biggest test of the season against undefeated Rensse.laer Saturday at home.

Tom George had another good day packing the leather with 133 yards on 28 expeditions. Quarterback Greg Hawkins was 7-for-16 in the atmosphere for 146 yards, and Rick Fenwick hauled in three passes for 80 yards. The scores came on a five-yard plunge by George in the first period, and a sneak by Hawkins in the third period capping a 42-yard drive. George's TD was set up by a poor punt from the C-A end zone after the Blackbirds had given up the ball on the one­foot line.

The Blackbirds lost Chris Beals for the season with a broken ankle. Murphy has movc_d into his defensive tackle slot and Buckley has given Ed Zautner the starting job at center.

POP WARNER

Another sweep the wrong way

For the second weekend in a row, Bethlehem's three Pop Warner football teams all lost their games, but hopes are high for a breakthrough next Sunday with two teams playing at home. The PeeWees are entertaining Rensselaer at 12 noon, and the Junior Midgets are host to Schenectady at 2 p.m. in a double header at the Middle School. The Midgets play in Troy.

Last week the Guilderland Ponies beat the Vultures, 19-0, in the PeeWee Division, the Hawks dropped a 19-13 decision to the North Colonie Longhorns in the Junior Midgets and the Falcons bowed to the Albany Mailers, 27-6, in the Midget Division.

SOCCER

Booters battling ~ for playoff spot

With onc week remaining in the season, Bethlehem Central's varsity soccer increased its chances for a Sectional berth with a 3-1 win over Columbia on Saturday_ The Eagles have three matches left before the bids come out for post-season play.

The new format in the Section 2 tournament this year makes it important to finish in the top two of the Suburban Council. Instead of the usual eight teams participating in the playoffs, this year's number is reduced to six, with the two teams with the best records drawing a bye in the opening round. Burnt Hills, the front­runner, has things all but sewn up, but the real battle seems to be for second place. With Guilderland, Bethlehem and Shaker all within a half game of each other, it will be up to the final week of the regular season to see who receives the coveted bye.

Bethlehem, which met Guilderland on Tuesday, gets to close its season out against two of the lower clubs. meeting Colonie today (Thursday), and finishing with Niskayuna on Saturday. Both games are to be played at the Middle School.

Fourth period goals by Stu Harro, Mike Lewis and Jay Guinn gave Bethlehem a come­from-behind win over Columbia, a team the Eagles lost to the first time around. Bethlehem, by virtue of the win, upped its season record to 9-4-0.

Joy of STiTC~iNG by ELSA WI LLiAMS

QUILTING TODAY Quilting is deeply rooted in

American history, a rich and colorful part of our cultural heritage. In early colonial days when every scrap of cloth was precious, the crazy quilt was the perfect way to use up oddly shaped morsels of fabric. Tiny stitches an­chored the bits of sprigged cottons and calicos and the occasional silk and velvet snips. Feather stitching was often used' to outline the patches.

In mosaic patchwork, iden­tically shaped pieces were fit­ted together with the preci­sion of a jigsaw puzzle. Sec­urely fastened, these were quilted or simply tied at the points of each piece.

Later, as quilting de­veloped into an art, patterns became more varied and in­tricate. Stars, lozenges, tri­angles and hexagons were stitched into designs that ranged from pineapples to compass roses.

Today these antique quilts are eagerly sought by mu­seums and private collectors and cherished for their his­torical associations as well as their beauty,

Contemporary quilting has roamed far from the bed­stead. Nowadays small quilted pictures make pillow tops, quilted floral borders circle hems of long skirts, animated animals are ap­pliqued and quilted on acces­sories for children. Quilted applique combined with em­broidery makes nostalgic versions of primitive art, re­cords the busy counterpoint

of nature and man on the farm and even brings to life the fantastic monsters that people fairy tales.

NEW! An illustrated leaf­let featuring FILLING STITCHES. For your FREE copy write to Elsa Williams, Box 3788, Grand Central Station, New York, N.Y. 10017.

In these new picture· quiltings, the background is often left unadorned with the appliqued motifs embroi­dered and quilted. Quilting techniques are combined with applique for large dis­tinctive initials on bags, or may be done in miniature for pin cushions. Portraits of a family home or a favorite garden are simplified in de­sign so that they can be "patched" and stitched.

Next week I'll tell you about the current revival of padded stitchery.

••• Dear Elsa,

I've found some borders of vines and leaves in silhouette which would be lovely em­broidered on natural linen curtains. The vines won't take too long to embroider, but if I do the silhouetted leaves in either Long and Short or Satin stitch, it will be years before I can enjoy the finished curtains. What can I do that will take less time?

I.L.J.

Dear I.L.J., There are so many ways

you can treat those leaves. You can simply embroider outline and veins in Chain stitch or double lines of Stem stitch. This would look strik­ing as Black Work. Any book on the subject will show you many fiHing stitches that don't take long to do.

If you outline the leaves in Buttonhole stitch, you can decorate them with a deeper shade of the same color used as whipping or lacing. Try one leaf in any of these techniques. This may suggest additional ideas.
