WILTON — A bicycle, when ridden and used properly,

is an exhilarating vehicle that can be great fun for any

child. However, safety should always be on the mind of

parents ready to show their kids the fun of riding their

first bike. To this end, the Wilton Volunteer Fire

Department hosted Bike Safety Day Oct. 3 at the

Wilton Fire Station.

The gathering attracting nearly 300 people ,was co-

sponsored by Latham-based law firm Martin, Harding,

& Mazzotti, who had representatives on hand. Bike

Safety Day is one of many area events the firm spon-

sors.“We do things all over the Capital Region, like our

free taxi nights,” said Bob Bruschini, an attorney with

the firm. “Every day we see the effects of what bicycle accidents

can cause, which is why sponsoring an event like this is so impor-

tant.”At Bike Safety Day, all attendees received a complementary

bike helmet, which was properly fitted by staff from State Police

Troop G, the Saratoga Cycling Club, the Saratoga Transportation

Network and the Saratoga County Sheriff, along with staff from

the fire department and law firm.

Other activities included, such things as showing area children

how to properly take care of and maintain a bicycle, and a

mechanic who offered free bicycle repairs. Road tests were

offered to show children the rules of the road, complete with an

obstacle course where children could have their performance cri-

tiqued. Free food and drinks were also provided.

Wilton Fire Department 1st Assistant Chief David Hoffman

says the event is meant as a lead-in to the upcoming Fire Preven-

tion Week.. “At the fire department, we’re trying to stress Fire

Prevention Week next week. We thought this would be a good

kickoff for the week, and enrich our strong community bonds plus

its great for kids, Hoffman said. “It helps kids in the community

get what they need to be safe on their bikes, and not have to ride

in an unsafe manner and to not get injured.”

Hoffman hopes that the children that attended get a better

appreciation for a bicycle and how to properly ride it, but also an

appreciation for the heroes that keep us safe everyday.

“I think they took away from the event a knowledge of some

bicycle safety, a respect for the road, and also that the fire depart-

ment, police, and ambulance squads are here to help the commu-

WILTON — Dealing with

ticks is to be expected living in

the Northeast, but living with

Lyme disease is something few

people give any thought.

Linda and Sigmund Kwia-

towski were much the same

way until Sig was bitten several

years ago.

The couple never saw the tick

but instead noticed the “bulls

eye” rash that is often associat-

ed with tick bites. Sig went to

the doctor and began three

weeks of treatment.

“But then he got worse,” said

Linda. “Over a two year period

we ended up going to 15 doctors

and two physician assistants.”

The Center for Disease Con-

trol and Prevention Web site,

www.cdc.gov, states most cases

of Lyme disease can be cured

through the use of antibiotics,

but a small percentage of

patients with the disease may

continue to have symptoms that

last months to years after the

antibiotic treatment.

Making diagnosis and treat-

ment more difficult, the CDC

said the Lyme disease bacteri-

um “can infect several parts of

the body, producing different

symptoms at different times.”

Not every patient experi-

ences the same set of symp-

toms and many are similar to

symptoms of other diseases.

Sig lost a total of 54 pounds

and suffered through at least

three different co-infections on

top of the Lyme disease. Linda

said their situation is not an

unusual one, with many long-

term sufferers of the disease

struggling to find what Linda

calls “Lyme literate doctors.”

“Lyme disease can mimic like

40 different diseases,” Linda

said. She said the couple’s experi-

ence has led them to a local

support group.

The Adirondack Lyme Dis-

ease Foundation meets monthly

at the Saratoga Springs Public

Library.

“We share information and

gather stories,” Linda said.

“Just trying to get more people

to realize it isn’t just them. A lot

of people just don’t have anyone

to talk to.”

WILTON — Gavin Park

is now accepting registra-

tions for its introductory

soccer and basketball pro-

grams at the park begin-

ning in October. Gorilla

programs are for boys and

girls ages 4 to 6 who have

little or no experience play-

ing soccer or basketball

and would like to learn the

fundamentals of the game

in a fun and relaxed envi-

ronment. Each program is

limited to 20 participants.

Gorilla Soccer practices

are from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m.

on Sundays. Gorilla Bas-

ketball is from 9 to 10 am.

on Sundays. Both pro-

grams start Oct. 18 and run

through Dec. 6. Coaches

will teach the children

basics of the game by uti-

lizing drills and small

scrimmages.

The introductory pro-

grams have been around

for 15 years. They are a

great ways for kids to begin

building a love for the

game and gain knowledge

of fundamental skills that

will prepare them for pro-

gression to more competi-

tive leagues

Summer Stars put on inaugural production

By CASEY MOHL

For Ballston Spa Life

ROUND LAKE — Heather Ferlo

thinks “Alice in Wonderland” is a capti-

vating story.

The 17-year-old Ballston Spa native not

only respects the words that were written

by Lewis Carroll in 1865, she values the

life lesson that was learned.

“Alice’s dreams became so real to her

she viewed them as reality,” Ferlo said.

“Eventually, she wakes up and appreci-

ates what she has.”

Ferlo is now taking her favorite child-

hood tale and bringing it to life, directing

a production by the Round Lake Summer

Stars youth theater troupe that will take

place this weekend at the Round Lake

Auditorium, July 28 through 30.

“Alice in Wonderland Jr.” includes a

cast of about 30 grade six through 10

youngsters.

The Round Lake Summer Stars is the

creation of Ballston Spa Middle School

teacher Joe Shaver, who has been guid-

ing that school’s Launching Pad theater

group for seven years.

“I love being at school and teaching

kids,” Shaver said. “But in February, I

decided I wanted to do something for the

community.”

Shaver, who is producing the show,

exudes great confidence when talking

about his cast.

“I haven’t seen any nerves at all,”

Shaver said. “I’m confident that they will

put on a great show. These kids are just

so excited and I think that erases any

nerves they might be feeling.”

The liquidators could be

at the Borders in Clifton

Park today, a store

employee told an inquir-

ing customer earlier this

week, when the impend-

ing closing of all of the

bookstore’s locations was

announced.

“It’s day by day here,”

the employee said.

Customer Christina

Dougall of Clifton Park

was disappointed to hear

about the closing as she

shopped on Tuesday. “I

love book stores. I’m not

into the Nook,” she said.

“I love holding my books.”

Another customer,

Clara Dreymann, was

checking out the sale

items outside the main

entrance. “I always like to

read and get some good

deals here,” she lament-

ed.The Borders in Clifton

Park and Albany escaped

the round of closings in

February, which shut-

tered the still-empty two-

story building in down-

town Saratoga Springs.

Messages left for the

Borders corporate

spokesman were not

returned by press dead-

line. But Clifton Park town

Supervisor Philip Barrett

responded to requests for

comment about the news.

“We will work with our

partners in the private

sector as we have in the

past and aggressively

court a replacement,”

Barrett said. “Brick and

mortar bookstores are

evidently not working. It’s

a change in habits. Those

changes have created

new opportunities in some

areas and affected others

in negative ways

“Borders is a major ten-

ant in our Exit 9 commer-

cial area and one we hate

to lose. But there is proba-

bly a national tenant out

there who doesn’t know

Clifton Park is the place to

be and we will find them

and let them know. Our

partnership with the pri-

vate sector has worked

well,” he said, citing the

Boscov’s in Clifton Park.

Also in the plaza are a

Pretzel Factory, a Moe’s,

a Shane’s Rib Shack, and

Jonesville Fire

District seeks

suggestions

By GLENN GRIFFITH

[email protected]

The Jonesville Fire

District Board of Com-

missioners is holding a

public forum next

Thursday to hear the

public’s suggestions on

what should be done

with Fire Station No.2.

The forum is the first

of five scheduled as part

of a feasibility study on

how the district should

deal with the nearly 40-

year-old building. The

meeting starts at 7 p.m.

July 28 at Fire Station

No.2, Route 146A.

Board of Commission-

ers Chairman Jim Miller

formed an 18-member

advisory committee in

March to begin the

review process. The

committee is made up

equally of fire depart-

ment personnel and res-

idents who volunteered.

After several in-depth

discussions on what

action to take with the

building, the committee

agreed to hire Syracuse-

based consultants

Heuber-Breuer Con-

struction Company to

conduct a feasibility

study. The study will

take five or six months.

Heuber-Breuer is being

paid $16,500 for their

services.

Miller said the com-

mittee has reviewed the

best methods for moving

the district ahead in

coming years, the dis-

trict’s needs, and what

should be done with Sta-

tion No. 2. The district

held two votes in 2006 to

replace the station and

both were defeated. In

2010, the district pur-

chased a parcel on

Clifton Park Center

Road in case there was a

need to expand in that

direction.

“Last time we put up

our wants,” Miller said.

“Now we’ll discuss our

needs. We want to hear

every single option out

there, from not doing

anything, to fixing it up,

taking half of it down, to

building new. We are not

the experts. There are

lots of questions and we

want the public involved

all the way this time.”

ect manager Sean Foran

Thoughts

on disaster,

recovery

By Timothy Sullivan

Editor’s note: Two recent

issues of Greenbush Life

profiled Timothy Sullivan,

an Averill Park native

who lives and works in

Japan. Among other top-

ics, he talked about his

experiences during the

earthquake and tsunamis

in that country. He offered

to interview Mayor

Kimiaki Toda of Ofunato

City to present the perspec-

tive of a Japanese official

who is coping with the

aftermath of those disas-

ters. Ofunato City, a

coastal city with a popula-

tion of nearly 40,000 peo-

ple, is in the northern part

of Japan.

Sullivan: Where were

you when the earthquake

hit?

Toda: We were in a

meeting. We all felt that

the earthquake was too

long and quite strong. I

thought that this must be

“the big one.” After it fin-

ished about two minutes

later, a big tsunami alert

was issued. At the time of

the earthquake, all com-

munication lines got cut.

When the tsunami came, I

felt as though I had fallen

valley. After three days,

Reuben Krutz of East

Greenbush recently float-

ed in space — briefly

anyway.

Krutz did so as co-cre-

ator of an invention that

will also float in space,

but for a much longer

time.An engineering student

at Drexel University in

Philadelphia, the

Columbia High School

graduate joined five other

scholars aboard “the

Vomit Comet,” an air-

plane capable of creating

a weightless state for pas-

sengers. Often used to

train astronauts, the

plane provided the stu-

dents with a testing envi-

ronment for a NASA-

bound invention they

made.The plane’s nickname

comes from the nausea

experienced by many

passengers.

But Krutz said that

“the Vomit Comet is a

common misnomer since

most people do not get

sick. I decided to pass on

motion sickness meds.

Research has shown that

about only two percent of

first-time flyers who don’t

take the meds don’t get

sick, but I was one of

that two percent.”

In fact, he continued,

“the whole Drexel team

on the two days of flying

did not get sick, so we

are proud to say we had

a ‘no-kill week,’ which is

hard for most teams to

say.”The students were on

the plane to check their

winning creation that had

been entered in a NASA-

sponsored a contest. The

prize was a chance for

the invention to be sent

into space next year. The

competition gave teams

of college students from

across the nation the

opportunity to propose,

design, build, fly and

evaluate a reduced-gravi-

ty experiment. Drexel’s

team was selected from

more than 70 proposals,

based on its scientific

merit and education out-

reach potential.

RENSSELAER — When

the American Legion,

Department of New York,

recently announced its

Legionnaire of the Year

for 2011, a Rensselaer

man’s name was spoken.

At the organization’s

93rd convention, held

last month in

Binghamton, the honor

was given to Edward R.

Lupian Jr., a member of

the Gerald O’Neil Post

1683 in Rensselaer.

Throughout the state,

about 150,000 people

belong to the Legion. He

became the first person

from Rensselaer County

to be chosen for the

award.“My first th

ought was

of disbelief,” Lupian said

of the moment his name

was announced. “I could

not understand why they

would select me. When I

was called up to receive

this most prestigious

award, I was humbled.

When asked to say a few

words, I became very

emotional. I could not

think of anything to say

other than ‘Thank you

for this honor.’ ”

Lupian said he accept-

ed the honor “with great

modular ad units on the pages of The saratogian and The record newspapers will help make your advertisement stand out and achieve better results.

Utilizing logical page portion - full, half, quarter, eighth, etc. - instead of inches will make planning and buying print advertising easier. an added benefit - complicated rate cards are history - pricing is now provided for each advertising unit.

Our intention is to provide similar standardized advertising units found in other media like magazines, online, television and radio. in addition, your advertisements will easily fit other newspapers that have adopted this strategy.
