BOARD OF EDUCA TlON

Tightest-ever school budget honed for voters After nearly three months of

trimming, paring and knifesharpening, Bethlehem's 1976-77 school budget is ready for district voters. When the board of education wound up its long seige with the numbers Wednesday night by adopting the proposed budget, these fact, stood out:

• The new budget is. $10,768,623, a skimpy $34,500 higher than the current year's actual budget, a rise of less than four tenths of one percent.

• The school tax rate will be up next year, probably about $4.28 per $1,000 valuation for property owners in Bethlehem and $11.20 for New Scotland. The current rates are $114.72 in Bethlehem and $176.16 in New Scotland.

Rates will be up

The final tax rate figure won't be set until August when assessment changes in the towns are computed and totalled, although there may be some estimates available in a few weeks. School officials are projecting an increase" in Bethlehem's total assessed valuation of $1,230,000 and $100,000 in New Scotland.

A difference in assessment formulas, which affect the socalled equalization rates, accounts for the variation in tax rates, although the actual increase for residents of the towns are approximately the same.

Quality preserved

School officials feel the new budget, which reflects cuts. of

some $900,000 from staff requests and more than $400,000 in actual cuts from the current operating budget will not make a noticeable difference in the quality of the school program next year.

Said Bernard E. Harvith, president of the board: "I think the difference (in program quality) will be hardly perceptible." Added Dr. Lawrence A. Zinn, superintendent of schools: "This is the tightest budget I've ever worked with. I'm confident we can get through the year without shortchanging students."

Zinn told the Spotlight, however, that he was "honestly concerned about the future."

funds in the coming years, and probably with less funds. This will have much more of an impact in the future. We can't continue·to cut this much out of future budgets without affecting the program. There will come a time when we will get invofved with quality, and we will have to re-evaluate priorities."

Public apathetic

Fewer than two dozen residents showed up at the board's final public hearing on the proposed budget last week in Delmar. There had been three previous open sessions in Delmar. Glenmont and Clarksville,

none of which drew more than a corporal's guard. Citizen apathy in a year of the ti~htest financial squeeze since the district was centralized surprised board members and the school administration.

"I have had no phone calls, no letters and no comments personally from anyone," Harvith said ... It's amazing. It has been an unusually quiet year in that respect."

Staff cuts made

Harvith told the small audience that the equivalent of 18 teaching positions had been eliminated, only a few of them actual full time positions. The majority of the cuts were in fractions of positions, he said, the result of readjustments of present staff and rearrangements of teaching assignments. But the ratio of teachers to students, he emphasized. "is better than it was five years ago."

N on-instructional positions written out of the new budget include two fulltime custodians, one fulltime teacher aide, one fulltime senior stenographer, five noon-hour aides, one senior typist, one-half a clerical position in each of the senior high school and Middle School, and one half of the part-time painting crew. This in addition to the closing of one of the system's six elementary schools.

Also lopped off were all funds for conferences, and equipment, and the aJlotment for supplies per pupil was cut in half.

PLANNING BOARD

A torturous route' for Glenmont plan

Ordinarily a six-figure industrial subdivision in a relatively undeveloped section of town would be encouraged as a job-producing and revenuegenerating project that lightens the tax burden on homeowners. Such has not been the case with Gould Park, a nineacre oblong-shaped tract in Glenmont between Rt. 9W just south of the Dairy Queen and Asprion Rd. to the east.

When developer Walter Gould proposed seven 40,000-square-foot warehouse sites, he had to go through a long process to gain municipal approval. Asprion Rd. residents objected, understandably, on all available grounds: drainage, traffic, the unsightliness of their prospective neighbors. For weeks the plan moved torturously through Bethlehem planning board procedures: pre-preliminary plans, public hearing, revision of preliminary plans, open discussions, engineering reports, state and county surveys of traffic and drainage . .

Two weeks ago the board, pressed by an expiring deadline for making a decision. set the stage for approval by laying down several conditions, including elimination of a crossroad that would have provided an access to Asprion Rd. and a requirement for a 40-foot buffer zone, professionally and coniferously landscaped, to shield the industrial from the residential.

Last week, at the board's last session before the deadline, there were these developments:

• One Asprion Rd. resident, James M. Newton, filed a written protest declaring that the stockade-buffer zone should be 100 feet wide instead of 40 feet.

• Board mem ber Alvin W. Greenwood, ignoring the request, moved in the opposite direction, declaring that 25 feet was the maximum allowed by law. His motion to modify the requirements from 40 to 25 feet passed by a 6-1 vote to the

dismay of attending homeowners.

• The final vote approving the developer's plans, as modified, was also 6-1. The lone dissent was cast by Edward Mocker, who noted that while "hardships have be~n imposed on the developer, the hardships imposed on the people of Asprion Rd, will be here for generations to come." ~wo days later there was a

new twist: in response to a routine query by the planning board to the state Department.

VOORHEESVILLE

of Environmental Conservation, EnCon certified the Gould park site a "freshwater wetland" under Article 24 of the state environmental conservation law. The ruling requires the developer to obtain 'a state permit for any activity on the site.

Board chairman William R. Weber, speaking for a board weary of the long controversy, had a one-sentence comment on the EnCon letter: "It's the developer's problem from now on."

and blue tUlip bulbs in front of the building.

This spring, as the early warm spell brought the tulips out of the ground and into early bud, the classes were already hard at work creating a nature center that now surrounds the school and the land bordering the playing fields.

Memorial dedicated

All 1100 children participated in planting 103 trees, shrubs and bushes, and they heeled in a thousand Scotch

Photos by Barbara SchullZ pines along the road to reduce traffic noise. Two trees were'

planted to honor teachers Lucinda Wright and Jane Blessing. Donald R. Otterness, science coordinator, directed the planting and did much of the digging.

An outdoor classroom was dedicated as a memorial to the late Diana Conklin, a former kindergarten teacher, and Clay Conklin, her infant son, who were killed in an accident last year. A group of sixth grade boys carefully placed the memorial stone, given by the teachers, at the base of a newly planted mountain ash. All of the trees and shrubs in this

outdoor cla~sroom, kn9wn as Conklin's Court, are wildlife plantings. They and the bird houses the school has provided will bring the birds and rabbits up close where the children may observe them.

On Saturday, Conservation Day, the tulips were blooming cheerfully when the entire community was invited to visit the newly completed nature center.

The students put on'a sale to help'pay for the plantings. Among items on sale we,re 40,000 ladybugs and 100 preying mantis egg cases, each of which will hatch 150 preying

Get an EMI cardl What would happen to you if

you were in an accident, knocked unconscious and rushed to the hospital? How would the hospital know what medications you were taking regularly, what severe allergies you had, whom to contact?

There would be no problem if you were carrying an Emer· gency Medical Identification card in your wallet or purse. The EMI card would have on it all the vital information the hospital or a doctor would need.

You can get such a card free at the Bethlehem Library. Ask for one at the circulation desk.

Media Rare An occasional Spotlight commentary on the world of radio. TV and newspapers

By Perry Galt

An interesting discovery awaits a large segment of the local populace when they give a try to the brand-new allnews format of Station WABY, Albany. This hustling medium, a'ne of the smaller and pre·' viously less audible of the region's radio signals, has pulled off the most drastic (and most expensive) change of format since GE Broadcasting went rock on WGFM, unless you count WQBK's surrender to the talk-show.

The W ABY change is a daring and exciting one. Byoffering a straight news .format, it has hooked up with NIS ~ the news and information service provided by NBC's worldwide newsgathering staff. With this W ABY has meshed its own locally produced programming. It thus becomes one of only two stations in upstate New York to go this route.

The result is a pleasing and highly informative radio station (1400 on the AM dial if you want to try it) that is attracting listeners and advertisers by the drove. As one ad agency man put it: "W ABY's the hottest thing in town these days."

Professional job

There is something refreshing about getting a well-edited, busy-man's version of breaking news, live tapes and feature commentaries instead of the usual music-and-chatter on the car radio. Both NBC and the local W ABY st.aff intersperse their reports with alternate voices, including gals, which keeps the stories moving and pinpoints material not usually available on the five·minute capsules of conventional sta· tions,

Suddenly WABY has acquired the largest news staff of any of the local radio opera-

tions. Bob Badger, a 20-year veteran, is general manager and takes his turn at the mike. Glenn Withiam, news director, has been in radio news for four years.

Carol on the air

A Delmar girl, Carol Pozefsky, who doubles as a freelance artist, adds a professional voice to the reports. Others on the enlarged staff (which makes the new format a costly investment) are Jason King, news director at the old WSNY, Ed O'Brien, Gil Roy, John Dingley and Chris Marting.

It was Badger who decided more than "'year ago that Capital District radio news lacked distinction, and beefed up his staff to launch Newswatch 14, two solid hours of news on weekday afternoons. It was so well received that two hours were added in the morning and a third hour in the afternoon. The name Newswatch was dropped when a local TV station usurped it.

WABY pins its hopes on the experience of a New York City station, which several years ago startled the industry by going all-news round the clock. The savants said it would never fly; instead, it soared to popular heights and now is an established winner.

Where's the quality?

The radio business is a sensitive one, often operating as the poor cousin of the more glamorous TV outlets. Quality radio of the old pre-TV days is a rarity nowadays. WGY, one of the world's leaders, abdicated its quality format in 1966 byabandoning its popular features, releasing many of its staff personalities, and joined the ranks of the ho-hum disc-jockey crowd. This concession to vapidity and empty chatter was a bid for mass listenership that has worked commercially but not artistically, and it leaves WROW as the only station on the AM bands that can be called "quality." It is hard to envision a Harry Downey saying anything in 10 words

Playhouse offers 2 one-act plays

Eileen Schuyler, who last winter provided the Slingerlands Players with a sensual and provocative portrayal of Lady Macbeth, is featured in the current Slingerlands Players production of "Mrs. Dally has a Lover" and "Today is Independence Day." William A. Frankonis directs these two separate contemporary one-act plays, both centering around

the growing self-awareness and human sensitivity of a middleaged woman trapped in an unsatisfying life.

Featured as the teen-aged lover in the first play is Chip Alfred, who has appeared locally; and with both the Albany and Schenectady Civic Theatres. In the second play, Michael Steese takes the role of Sam Dally, the tired and dispirited husband.

The plays will run May 12-16 and 19-22 at 8:30 p.m. at the

Waste oil bill in Legislature

Ever wonder what to do with used crank case oil? The slate Legislature is considering a bill aimed at the problem of its disposal.

The Senate committee on Conservation, Recreation and Environment estimates about 55 million gallons fall into the waste category every year.

Introduced by Sen. Bernard C. Smith, R-N orthport, and Assemblyman G. Oliver Koppell, O-L Bronx, the bill would create a statewide system for the regulation and licensing of the collection of waste oil. It would require all major outlets dealing with oil to collect waste oil and send it back through a process to be re-refined.

State sets rules

The state would be a prime mover in the oil reclaiming effort under the measure. The state would require its agencies to collect their waste oil and use re-refined lubricating oil. In addition, the state would establish a performance testing

Proprietor

process for fe-refined products in order to insure their quality.

The Smith-Koppell bill also calls for a public education campaign aimed at collection and reuse of waste oil.

To encourage the development of a statewide reclamation system, the bill provides incentives for long-haul truckers. In addition the state would lease waste oil holding tanks and contract for their operation by a fe-refiner.

Half is lost

Researchers on the oil waste problem estimate about 110 million gallons of lubricating oil are used in New York state each year and about half of it is recovered after use. The rest is consumed or otherwise lost. Of the amount recovered only about 8 million gallons are rerefined. More than halfabout 29 million gallons - is dumped. The remainder is burned as fuel oil which, having undergone little or no reprocessing or filtering, fouls the air with substances picked up by the oil when it was used for lubrication. Re-refining is essential to the removal of these toxic substances, task force director Dr. Stephen Sloan, says.

Changes in effect for park fees

A new fee schedule for Bethlehem's Elm Ave. Park this season reflects several changes over 1975 schedules. The park is scheduled to open officially on June 12.

Parking fees have been eliminated for residents of the town and admission to the parking facilities will be by a town seal, affixed to the front portion of each car window. Seals, pool passes and cards proving residence in the Town of Bethlehem are available to residents as of this week at the Parks and Recreation Dept. offices at the Elm Ave. park.

Parking fees for non-residents will be $1.50 per car. N on-residents must be accompanied by at least one individual who can prove residence by a card, which is also free to residents.

Pool passes ready

Seasonal passes for the swimming complex are $40 per family, $22 per individual, and $ I I per child over age 7.

Pool passes are also available for June only: $1 I per family, $6.50 per individual, and $3.25 for each child over 7. Passes for July or August only will be $22 per family, $13 per individual: and $6.50 per child over 7. In all cases, children under 7 will enter the swim-

Residents may elect to pay for swimming entry on a dayby-day basis as follows: children 8-13, 25 cents, age 14 years to adult, 75 cents. Senior citizens will be admitted to the park free of all charges but will require the town seal for admission to the parking areas. Cards proving senior citizen status are available to those over 65 from the Parks and Recreation Dept.

School budget honed for voters continued from Page 9

In the long pruning job the board examined budget requests and the current working budget line by line .. "We were determined to make the cuts across the board rather than eliminate some program," Zinn commented. "We looked at staffing in terms of how we could best reduce the cost without significantly reducing qual-ity of program." '

One example: the minimum class size in the high school has been raised from 15 to 17, with limited exceptions. This reduces the number of sections that have to be taught, and thus the number of teachers needed. "We do not think that having an average of two more students in the classroom makes any substantial difference in the quality of instruction," Zinn remarked. He noted that"c1ass sizes have been very favorable up to this time," but admitt~d that "we can't keep on doing this."

On the income side of the ledger, the board anticipates a slight drop in state aid and a gain of more than $400,000 in local tax revenues. Apart from the general rise in costs of materials and services, the largest single cost differential is a mandated increase of some $280,000 in teachers' salaries and retirement allotments.

The budget will go to district voters June 9.

Blackbird track prospects bright

Voorheesville Central's track team has begun what Coach Kenneth K irik hopes will be one of its finest seasons. Early in the year, however, bad wea· ther forced the team into a two and a half week layoff. Several meets were cancelled.

Sporting a 4-2 record as of this writing. Kirik expects some outstanding performances before the season's end. Joe CiIlis has already set a new school record in the long jump, and is very near another record in the triple jump. Tim Woods. a

sprinter, has established himself well in the IOO-yard dash and needs only to shave a fraction of'a second· to hold the school record in the 220.

The outstanding performer of the year so far has to be freshman Tom George. In his first meet Tom tied. the school record in' the pole vault: He seems a shoo-in to set more marks in his next three years.

Balanced by good distance men and strong relay teams, Voorheesville, in the eyes of Ken Kirik, should finish strongly in the dual meets in the Central Hudson Valley League. He looks to the invitational meets with the bigger Class A schools as a valuable experience for his team.

Another big year for girls' tennis

The BC girls' tennis team, coached by Miss Martha Stafford, appears headed foranother outstanding season. For the past five years the team has been either undefeated or has occupied first place in the Suburban Council. Miss Stafford commented that in all the years that she had coached the tennis team it has never had a losing season.

Great depth is an important feature of this year's 39-girl team. Only the top nine play Suburban Council matches but Miss Stafford tries to arrange as many exhibition matches as

New postal spirit

Editor, the Spotlight: Being a believer in giving

credit where credit is due, as well as criticism when warranted, I would like to direct your attention to the noteworthy positive changes and improvements in service currently offered by the Delmar Post Office in the past two months under the able leadership of the officer in charge, Louis J. Picarazzi.

Since much of the efficiency and success of my office depends on the timely handling of the mails, good workmanship in the Delmar Post Office is crucial to the function of local government.

Let me cite several of the favorable changes I have experienced since Louie temporarily became responsible for its direction. First and most important is the pleasant personalities now serving the public on the front windows. I say "windows" because the long lines of the past at a single window are no more, because a second window is opened up when a build-up occurs. Next, there seems to be a "general change in morale or purpose, with a definite desire to meet the needs of the public. The bulletin boards are now attractively maintained, posting current information of public interest and general use. Also important, if a person has a mail problem Louie welcomes your personal contact, so together an attempt to resolve it can be promptly initiated.

Recently, while walking on Delaware Ave., I observed Mr. Picarazzi checking street cor-

ner mail drop boxes, to determine if the mail pickup times were legible.

When postal authorities finalize their determination as to the person who will become our permanent postmaster, I do hope some of this new spirit I have witnessed continues to prevail, and that example will serve as a stimulus to that new leader.

Delmar Kenneth P. Hahn Receiver of Taxes &

Assessments Town of Bethlehem

Mobility restored Editor, the Spotlight:

Everyone knows horror stories about cars entering service stations ano coming out a week or two later with the problem worse than it was, and the charges twice as high as the lift they put the car on. Small wonder then, that taking a car to a garage is as traumatic as taking a child to the dentist.

A friend from out of town was visiting recently when his car got terribly homesick and had a complete collapse. The doting owner asked my recommendation of a gas station. I vaguely know Pat and Bob of the Mobil station on Delaware Ave. from when they bought coffee where I worked during high school. I do not think they remember me, though, and they certainly do not owe me any favors. I have not been in the area in the past four years so I do not have a regular gas station. Therefore it was with crossed fingers that I suggested Pat and Bob's.

To our complete satisfaction the mechanics at the station took care of the car and coaxed it back to good health, at a very reasonable price. We would like to thank Pat and Bob for the excellent service the car received.

We believe there are more stories like this one Ihan "horror stories" in our community. II's a nice feeling thaI comes with (il'ing here.
