Donations will make homecoming<br />

Lisa DeStaso-Jones doesn’t have unrealistic<br />
desires. She just wants her husband <strong>to</strong> come<br />
home.<br />
But just a few months ago, that seemed like a<br />
scant possibility. While playing rugby in February,<br />
Michael Jones suffered a debilitating spinal<br />
injury that has left <strong>the</strong> Delmar man paralyzed.<br />

Sitting Bethlehem Town Court Justice<br />
Ryan Donovan has being accused of violating<br />
a code of ethics that guides <strong>the</strong> conduct of<br />
judicial candidates, but <strong>the</strong> matter will have<br />
little direct impact on <strong>the</strong> forming race for his<br />

In fact, Donovan’s opponent was adamant<br />
Work is under way on an addition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> home of Lisa<br />
DeStaso-Jones, whose husband, Michael, was paralyzed<br />
during a rugby game in February. Local businesses are<br />
donating labor and materials <strong>to</strong> complete <strong>the</strong> addition,<br />
which will grant handicapped access <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Delmar home<br />
and fi nally allow Jones <strong>to</strong> live under <strong>the</strong> same <strong>roof</strong> as<br />
his young family.<br />
Charles Wiff/Spotlight<br />
<strong>Businesses</strong> <strong>raise</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>roof</strong><br />
Besides costly medical bills, his young family<br />
has had <strong>to</strong> contend with <strong>the</strong> fact it would cost a<br />
small fortune <strong>to</strong> overhaul <strong>the</strong>ir home <strong>to</strong> meet his<br />
needs.<br />
“Michael had one request: ‘I want <strong>to</strong> come<br />
home.’ Not <strong>to</strong> Delmar, <strong>to</strong> our home” said De-<br />
Staso-Jones.<br />
Jones is nearly <strong>the</strong>re. Having made advances<br />
far beyond what doc<strong>to</strong>rs originally said was possible,<br />
he's now living at a Delmar nursing home<br />
just miles from <strong>the</strong> family's 1920s bungalow. But<br />

that he doesn’t wish <strong>to</strong> take a swipe at <strong>the</strong> incumbent.<br />
“I never accused him of anything,” said<br />
Ralph Ambrosio, <strong>the</strong> GOP-back candidate<br />
in <strong>the</strong> race. “I just think <strong>the</strong> facts speak for<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves.”<br />
Donovan was instead called out by <strong>the</strong><br />
Bethlehem Republican Committee. In short,<br />
when ga<strong>the</strong>ring voter signatures this summer<br />
so he could appear on <strong>the</strong> ballot, Donovan<br />
also carried <strong>the</strong> petition of Assemblyman<br />
Tim Gordon, I-Bethlehem. Records show<br />
Donovan obtained 62 signatures from Independence<br />
Party members.<br />

RCS High gets<br />
new principal<br />
Brian Bailey makes<br />
<strong>the</strong> move from post<br />
at GHS<br />
By CHARLES WIFF<br />
wiffc@spotlightnews.com<br />
Students attending <strong>the</strong><br />
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk<br />
High School will have a<br />
new principal when <strong>the</strong>y<br />
return <strong>to</strong> school next fall.<br />
The RCS School District<br />
Board of Education has<br />
chosen Brian Bailey<br />
<strong>to</strong> step in as <strong>the</strong> new<br />
principal, effective Aug. 20.<br />
Bailey has been assistant<br />
principal at Guilderland<br />
High School for <strong>the</strong> past<br />
six years.<br />
In fact, o<strong>the</strong>r than a<br />
single year at Schalmont,<br />
Bailey has spent <strong>the</strong> past<br />
18 years in Guilderland<br />
schools.<br />
“It’s like family. It’s just<br />
like leaving home for <strong>the</strong><br />
fi rst time,” he said of <strong>the</strong><br />
move. “It’s exciting and<br />
it’s daunting, because I<br />
bring with me all of those<br />
things that I’ve learned. ...<br />
I’m going <strong>to</strong> a new place<br />
where <strong>the</strong>y have <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
experience and <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
way, and I’m excited <strong>to</strong><br />
learn that.”<br />
Bailey has his roots in<br />
music education, starting<br />
out as a choral teacher.<br />
Both his parents were<br />
teachers.<br />
“Growing <strong>up</strong>, music<br />
was something I always<br />
excelled at,” he said. “I<br />
went off <strong>to</strong> college, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>re didn’t seem any<br />
better way <strong>to</strong> enjoy my art<br />
form and be able <strong>to</strong> share<br />
that with o<strong>the</strong>r people.”<br />
He said he also<br />
made <strong>the</strong> crossover <strong>to</strong><br />
administration with <strong>the</strong><br />
goal of helping people<br />
learn.<br />
“Being an administra<strong>to</strong>r<br />
is teaching with adults. ...<br />
We’re all trying <strong>to</strong> grow<br />
and get better at what we<br />
do,” he said.<br />
“The principal interview<br />
committee recognized<br />
Brian’s skills and talents,”<br />
said RCS Schools<br />
S<strong>up</strong>erintendent Daniel A.<br />
Teplesky in a statement.<br />
“He will be a great asset <strong>to</strong><br />
our administrative <strong>team</strong>,<br />
and we <strong>look</strong> forward <strong>to</strong><br />
welcoming him <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
district as we continue<br />

Brian Bailey will be tak-<br />
ing over as principal of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Ravena-Coeymans-<br />
Selkirk High School next<br />
year, replacing outgoing<br />
principal Brett Miller. Bailey<br />
has 17 years of experience<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Guilderland School<br />
District, including <strong>the</strong> past<br />
six as assistant principal at<br />
Guilderland High School.<br />
Submitted pho<strong>to</strong><br />
school year.”<br />
Bailey said he’s<br />
most <strong>look</strong>ing forward<br />
<strong>to</strong> working in a smaller<br />
school community. RCS<br />
High School has about<br />
650 students enrolled<br />
compared <strong>to</strong> Guilderland’s<br />
more than 1,900.<br />
“I like very much <strong>the</strong><br />
idea I can have <strong>the</strong> potential<br />
<strong>to</strong> have a relationships<br />
with every student, with<br />
every staff member,”<br />
Bailey. “I think <strong>the</strong>re’s a lot<br />
more personable quality<br />
<strong>to</strong> working in a school of<br />
that size.”<br />
The district has had<br />
relatively high turnover<br />
in this position. The<br />
current principal of <strong>the</strong><br />
high school, Brett Miller,<br />
headed <strong>the</strong> school for just<br />
two years.<br />
Bailey said his goal will<br />
be <strong>to</strong> hold <strong>the</strong> job for <strong>the</strong><br />
long term.<br />
“I want <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong>re, and<br />
I’m dedicated <strong>to</strong> doing<br />
that,” he said. “Growing <strong>up</strong><br />
around here, having family<br />
members that live in <strong>the</strong><br />
district ... I’ve had ties with<br />
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk<br />
and Albany and Greene<br />
counties for a long, long<br />
time.”<br />
Bailey’s pursuing his<br />
doc<strong>to</strong>rate at The Sage<br />
Colleges. Bailey resides<br />
in Voorheesville, has<br />
two teenage sons and is<br />
engaged <strong>to</strong> Kate Deane.<br />

Strosahl said she<br />
doesn’t approve of ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

The sites are about sixtenths<br />

“It’s a rock and a hard<br />

Strosahl, who has a 7year-old<br />

concerned with effect<br />

Getting charged <strong>up</strong> over a new lap<strong>to</strong>p<br />
By ROBIN SHRAGER SUITOR<br />
news@spotlightnews.com<br />
My fa<strong>the</strong>r and I argue about<br />
st<strong>up</strong>id stuff. Last month I used<br />
my 6-year-old cell phone <strong>to</strong><br />
call him from <strong>the</strong> Town Pool<br />
where I was relaxing in <strong>the</strong><br />
sun. We argued about lap<strong>to</strong>p<br />
computers. I have a lap<strong>to</strong>p and<br />
he wants one. He offered <strong>to</strong> buy<br />
me a new lap<strong>to</strong>p and take my<br />
old one and make it his own.<br />
I felt he should buy <strong>the</strong> new<br />
computer for himself.<br />
Here’s <strong>the</strong> problem: I don’t<br />
want a new lap<strong>to</strong>p and nei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
does he.<br />
I don’t want one because<br />
1) I don’t like change and 2)<br />
<strong>the</strong>re’s nothing wrong with<br />
<strong>the</strong> lap<strong>to</strong>p I have. I only use<br />
it <strong>to</strong> write. It doesn’t need<br />
a lot of bells and whistles. I<br />
don’t use it <strong>to</strong> connect <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Internet, because I don’t want<br />
<strong>the</strong> distraction. I start surfing<br />
around, <strong>the</strong>n Facebook pops<br />
<strong>up</strong>, <strong>the</strong>n e-mail beckons, <strong>the</strong>n<br />
few words get written.<br />
Dad doesn’t want a brand<br />
new lap<strong>to</strong>p because he has<br />
always been frugal and doesn’t<br />
want <strong>to</strong> spend <strong>the</strong> money on<br />
himself.<br />
“But you want <strong>to</strong> buy ME a<br />
new one,” I said <strong>to</strong> him, “If you<br />
are buying, what difference<br />
does it make who is using it?”<br />
Then I had an idea. I <strong>to</strong>ld<br />
him he could buy me <strong>the</strong> new<br />
machine and I would lend it <strong>to</strong><br />
him. Then when I was a ready<br />
for a newer computer, we could<br />
swap.<br />
He almost agreed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
lending idea, but <strong>the</strong>n he said,<br />
“Go get yourself a faster, lighter<br />
machine. That way you can<br />
schlep it around more easily.”<br />
The man is obsessed with my<br />
lifting and carrying anything<br />
more than a pound.<br />
“Dad, I don’t really carry<br />
<strong>the</strong> computer anywhere. It<br />
mostly stays in <strong>the</strong> house, or<br />
I take it out on <strong>the</strong> back deck.<br />
Sometimes I go <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> library,<br />
but I’m only walking a short<br />
distance from my car.”<br />
And <strong>the</strong>n it hit me: Why am<br />
I arguing with my 80-year-old<br />
fa<strong>the</strong>r? Is it so important for<br />
me <strong>to</strong> hang on <strong>to</strong> my 6-yearold<br />
computer when he really<br />
wants one? Do I need <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong><br />
stubborn one?<br />
I started <strong>to</strong> sell myself on<br />
<strong>the</strong> idea. My lap<strong>to</strong>p is heavier<br />
than <strong>the</strong> newer models. And a<br />
newer one would probably still<br />

fit in my current carrying case.<br />
I could keep <strong>the</strong> case.<br />
I said, “OK, Dad, I’ll <strong>look</strong><br />
in<strong>to</strong> ordering a new lap<strong>to</strong>p.”<br />
He said, “Yeah, get it while <strong>the</strong><br />
money is still here.”<br />
“Where is <strong>the</strong> money going?”<br />
I asked.<br />
“I wasn’t s<strong>up</strong>posed <strong>to</strong> live<br />
this long,” he said, “Remember<br />
that doc<strong>to</strong>r who said I wasn’t<br />
going <strong>to</strong> make it <strong>to</strong> 2005?”<br />
Of course I remember. I<br />
remember all <strong>to</strong>o well. Dad<br />
needed a new heart valve but<br />
<strong>the</strong> surgeon decided my fa<strong>the</strong>r<br />
was not well enough <strong>to</strong> survive<br />
an operation. The surgeon<br />
had said, “If you were my own<br />
fa<strong>the</strong>r I wouldn’t operate.”<br />
We didn’t like that answer.<br />
After all, maybe that doc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
didn’t even like his own fa<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
So my parents came back<br />
from Florida and Dad spent<br />
three weeks in Albany Medical<br />
Center “beefing down” for<br />
surgery.<br />

started carrying a cell phone.<br />
The same one I still carry. Only<br />
<strong>the</strong>se days it is unable <strong>to</strong> hold a<br />
charge for more than an hour.<br />
I heard my cell phone “beep”<br />
and <strong>the</strong>n saw <strong>the</strong> “low battery!”<br />
message on <strong>the</strong> display. “Dad,<br />
my phone battery is about <strong>to</strong><br />
go,” I said, “so if we get cut off<br />
you’ll know why.”<br />
He decided I was making<br />
this <strong>up</strong> because he was talking<br />
about how he is s<strong>up</strong>posed <strong>to</strong><br />
be dead and how much life<br />
insurance he has.<br />
“Oh, right, you don’t like <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>to</strong>pic,” he said.<br />
I responded, “You’re right.<br />
I don’t like <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>pic, but my<br />
phone battery really is about<br />
<strong>to</strong> die. I’ve been telling you this<br />
for two weeks.”<br />
He said, “Go buy yourself a<br />
new phone.”<br />
“Phones cost a lot if you buy<br />
<strong>the</strong>m when your plan is not <strong>up</strong><br />
for renewal.”<br />
While we continued talking<br />
I walked <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> locker room so<br />
I could plug in <strong>the</strong> phone. I’ve<br />
begun carrying my charger<br />
wherever I go.<br />
“Hang on” I <strong>to</strong>ld my dad as I<br />
plugged in my charger and <strong>the</strong>n<br />
connected it <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> phone.<br />
“You, OK?” he asked.<br />
I <strong>to</strong>ld him, “I’m fine. I had <strong>to</strong><br />
go <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> locker room so I could<br />
plug in my phone because <strong>the</strong><br />
battery was giving out.” What<br />
I didn’t add is, “See, I’m not<br />
purposely rushing you off <strong>the</strong><br />
phone because of your choice<br />
in <strong>to</strong>pics.”<br />
After a short while he said<br />
HE had <strong>to</strong> go. A friend was<br />
picking him <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong> go <strong>to</strong> a<br />
barbecue. He needed <strong>to</strong> get<br />
ready.<br />

“Good, now I can leave <strong>the</strong><br />
dark locker room and go back<br />
out in <strong>the</strong> sun.”<br />
“Go pee first while you’re<br />
<strong>the</strong>re so it shouldn’t be a <strong>to</strong>tal<br />
waste.”<br />
I said, “OK,” even though I<br />
felt like saying, “I don’t have<br />
<strong>to</strong> pee. I peed before I left <strong>the</strong><br />
house.” But <strong>the</strong>re was no need<br />
<strong>to</strong> argue. It’s not like he was<br />
going <strong>to</strong> know whe<strong>the</strong>r or not<br />
I peed.<br />
He laughed, “Yeah, go pee,<br />
and take a dump, <strong>to</strong>o.”<br />
“Ha, ha, Dad,”<br />
“And go buy yourself a new<br />
phone.”<br />
“Yeah, OK. Have fun at <strong>the</strong><br />
barbecue.”<br />
A few years ago I may not<br />
have called my fa<strong>the</strong>r while I<br />
was sunbathing. Or if I did, <strong>the</strong><br />
call would have ended with <strong>the</strong><br />
low battery signal. I wouldn’t<br />
have been standing in <strong>the</strong> dark<br />
locker room near an electrical<br />
outlet discussing life insurance<br />
and bodily functions. But since<br />
<strong>the</strong> loss of my mo<strong>the</strong>r, I have<br />
become increasingly protective<br />
of dad.<br />
That’s why it was especially<br />
st<strong>up</strong>id <strong>to</strong> argue about <strong>the</strong><br />
lap<strong>to</strong>p.<br />
I know what you readers are<br />
thinking: You’ll gladly give my<br />
dad your old lap<strong>to</strong>p in exchange<br />
for a new one. Unfortunately,<br />
<strong>the</strong> offer only stands for close<br />
relatives who are smart enough<br />
<strong>to</strong> accept <strong>the</strong> offer without<br />
hesitation. In this instance, that<br />
means my niece who is heading<br />
off <strong>to</strong> graduate school.<br />
“Your bro<strong>the</strong>r ordered a<br />
new computer for Leslie,” Dad<br />
<strong>to</strong>ld me a few days after our<br />
locker room chat, “I’m getting<br />
her old one.”<br />
I experienced a combination<br />
of disappointment and relief.<br />
Disappointment because I<br />
had psyched myself <strong>up</strong> for a<br />
new lap<strong>to</strong>p. Relief because my<br />
old lap<strong>to</strong>p AND my old dad<br />
continue <strong>to</strong> be part of my life.<br />
And I can use <strong>the</strong> former <strong>to</strong><br />
write about silly arguments that<br />
I have with <strong>the</strong> latter.<br />

Share and<br />
share alike<br />
Congratulations <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> heads of Bethlehem’s five fire<br />
departments and two ambulance corps for realizing<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are benefits <strong>to</strong> be had by working <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r on<br />
certain issues ra<strong>the</strong>r than adhering <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> parochialism<br />
that is <strong>the</strong> slow demise of o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong>wn entities.<br />
Last Oc<strong>to</strong>ber, <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>districts</strong> got <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
and decided <strong>to</strong> construct<br />
a 5- <strong>to</strong> 10-year Edi<strong>to</strong>rial<br />
development plan<br />
and explore shared<br />
services.<br />
When you think about <strong>the</strong> nature of <strong>the</strong> entities coming<br />
<strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r, this is no small feat. People involved in<br />
emergency services are (we believe rightly so) fiercely<br />
proud of <strong>the</strong>ir positions. There is a calling for people<br />
in those fields — it takes a certain type of person <strong>to</strong><br />
make <strong>the</strong> decision <strong>to</strong> run in<strong>to</strong> a burning building or<br />
have <strong>the</strong> knowledge and fortitude <strong>to</strong> aid and transport<br />
someone who’s injured.<br />
Traditionally, <strong>the</strong> pride that exists in those types of<br />
people is accompanied with a streak of terri<strong>to</strong>rialism,<br />
especially in <strong>the</strong> <strong>up</strong>per ranks. That’s why it’s heartening<br />
for us at The Spotlight <strong>to</strong> learn that <strong>the</strong>se individuals<br />
put those feelings aside, saw a need <strong>to</strong> better <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
services — and decrease <strong>the</strong> burden on taxpayers as<br />
well — and are coming <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> make it happen.<br />
Unfortunately, as it seems is <strong>the</strong> case with any good<br />
application of government resources, <strong>the</strong> state’s Local<br />
Government Efficiency Planning Grant Program,<br />
which <strong>the</strong> agencies were hoping <strong>to</strong> use <strong>to</strong> flesh <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
plan out, has run out of money and is unlikely <strong>to</strong> see<br />
more funding in <strong>the</strong> near future.<br />
While John Lutz, a member of <strong>the</strong> Board of Commissioners<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Elsmere Fire Dept., said <strong>the</strong> agencies<br />
are prepared <strong>to</strong> spend what funds <strong>the</strong>y have <strong>to</strong> see this<br />
<strong>to</strong> fruition and will send out a request for proposals for<br />
a consultant on <strong>the</strong> matter. The cost, per agency, has<br />
been roughly estimated at $20,000 <strong>to</strong> $30,000.<br />
It may seem like a lot, but we feel <strong>the</strong> long-term<br />
savings — not <strong>to</strong> mention <strong>the</strong> improved emergency<br />
services — would be worth it.<br />

Matters of Opinion in The Spotlight<br />
Publisher — John A. McIntyre Jr.<br />
A comparison of coasts<br />
By JESSICA PETT<br />
news@spotlightnews.com<br />
The writer is an edi<strong>to</strong>rial<br />
intern with The Spotlight.<br />
In my 22 years of life I can<br />
happily say I have lived on both<br />
coasts on this country. Living<br />
in Seattle, Wash., for four<br />
years was an experience I<br />
will never forget, and I hope<br />
<strong>to</strong> live <strong>the</strong>re again at some<br />
point of my life.<br />
I didn’t always feel<br />
this way. I was born in<br />
Long Island and moved<br />
<strong>to</strong> Greenville soon after<br />
and spent <strong>the</strong> majority<br />
of my childhood growing <strong>up</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>re. It’s a fairly small <strong>to</strong>wn<br />
so we quickly became close<br />
with many people. I will never<br />
forget <strong>the</strong> day my parents<br />
<strong>to</strong>ld me we were moving <strong>to</strong><br />
Washing<strong>to</strong>n. I was in sixth<br />
grade and my reaction was, of<br />
course, dramatic. I immediately<br />
started crying and ran <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong><br />
my room while screaming at<br />
my parents. Never<strong>the</strong>less, we<br />
moved and I had no problem<br />
making friends and adjusting<br />
<strong>to</strong> my new life <strong>the</strong>re.<br />
While living in Seattle, I fell<br />
in love with that amazing city.<br />
There was always something<br />
<strong>to</strong> do and so many interesting<br />
places <strong>to</strong> go and people <strong>to</strong> see.<br />
Pike Place Market was one<br />
of my favorite places <strong>to</strong> go.<br />
It’s a huge open-air market<br />
right on <strong>the</strong> water with endless<br />
vendors, restaurants, music<br />
and shopping. Ano<strong>the</strong>r amazing<br />
thing about <strong>the</strong> market is that<br />
it is right across from <strong>the</strong> firstever<br />
Starbucks, my favorite<br />
coffee shop.<br />
Although <strong>the</strong>re is nothing<br />
quite like Pike Place in Albany,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are festivals and areas of<br />
<strong>the</strong> city that are fun. Lark Fest,<br />
which is outside and has many<br />
different vendors is fun but<br />
draws a <strong>to</strong>tally different crowd.<br />
Farmers markets around <strong>the</strong><br />
Capital District are about as<br />
close as you’re going <strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong><br />
Pike Place, and this area does<br />
a good job with <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
Seattle is also packed with<br />

culture and his<strong>to</strong>ry. So many<br />
artists and musicians have<br />
come out of Seattle or lived<br />
<strong>the</strong>re for a good amount of<br />
time, including Jimi Hendrix,<br />
Nirvana and Modest Mouse.<br />
Experience Music Project is<br />
a big interactive museum in<br />
Point of<br />
View<br />
<strong>the</strong> middle of Seattle that pays<br />
tribute <strong>to</strong> many of <strong>the</strong> artists<br />
that come from Seattle, it’s all<br />
about music, and so far I haven’t<br />
seen anything else like it here.<br />
One thing <strong>the</strong> Capital District<br />
has that I never got <strong>the</strong> chance<br />
<strong>to</strong> experience in Washing<strong>to</strong>n is<br />
open-air concerts like Sara<strong>to</strong>ga<br />
Performing Arts Center. SPAC<br />
is something I really love about<br />
this area, <strong>the</strong>y bring through a<br />
lot of good artists, and I love<br />
that you can go see <strong>the</strong> ballet<br />
<strong>the</strong>re.<br />
One thing people from <strong>the</strong><br />
East Coast and o<strong>the</strong>r parts<br />
of <strong>the</strong> country think is that it<br />
constantly rains in Seattle and<br />
is never sunny. This is hardly<br />
true, and, in reality, <strong>the</strong> climate<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is very mild. I actually<br />
happen <strong>to</strong> like New York’s<br />
wea<strong>the</strong>r better. The seasons<br />
in Washing<strong>to</strong>n aren’t as severe<br />
as <strong>the</strong>y are here but that’s<br />
something I like here. It barely<br />
snows anywhere <strong>the</strong>re besides<br />
<strong>the</strong> mountains so school closes<br />
if <strong>the</strong>y get flurries.<br />
One popular festival here in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Capital District is Albany’s<br />
Tulip Festival. This <strong>look</strong>s tiny<br />
compared <strong>to</strong> Washing<strong>to</strong>n’s tulip<br />
festival, which is a huge deal<br />
and has miles of tulips. Ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
plus <strong>to</strong> living in Washing<strong>to</strong>n<br />
for me – tulips are my favorite<br />
flowers. The festival takes place<br />
in Washing<strong>to</strong>n’s Skagit Valley<br />
in April. Tulips, irises and<br />

daffodils cover fields all over<br />
<strong>the</strong> area, and if you’re ever in<br />
Washing<strong>to</strong>n in April definitely<br />
make <strong>the</strong> trip <strong>to</strong> see it. If not,<br />
luckily Albany has one as well.<br />
One thing I did not like<br />
about living <strong>the</strong>re were <strong>the</strong><br />
earthquakes. When I lived<br />
<strong>the</strong>re, <strong>the</strong> area experienced<br />
a 6.8 magnitude earthquake<br />
that was terrifying and<br />
exciting at <strong>the</strong> same<br />
time. Here in New York<br />
we rarely have <strong>to</strong> worry<br />
about earthquakes, which<br />
is definitely a plus. Along<br />
with <strong>the</strong> earthquakes in<br />
Washing<strong>to</strong>n comes Mt.<br />
Rainier, an active volcano, which<br />
scientists consider “episodically<br />
active” – meaning it is not active<br />
right now but could er<strong>up</strong>t<br />
again in <strong>the</strong> future. Around Mt.<br />
Rainier is a national park where<br />
people can hike, camp, picnic<br />
and do o<strong>the</strong>r activities. It is<br />
part of <strong>the</strong> Cascade Mountain<br />
Range, which also includes four<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r volcanoes.<br />
Although New York doesn’t<br />
have a mountain range of<br />
volcanoes, it does have <strong>the</strong><br />
Catskills and <strong>the</strong> Adirondacks.<br />
These mountain ranges offer<br />
many hiking trails and camping<br />
and are as beautiful as <strong>the</strong><br />
Cascades. During <strong>the</strong> summer,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are camps for kids <strong>to</strong><br />
attend in <strong>the</strong> Adirondacks,<br />
fishing and scenic spots.<br />
Again, I’d have <strong>to</strong> say I am<br />
more interested in <strong>the</strong> Cascade<br />
Mountain Range than <strong>the</strong><br />
mountains we have here, but<br />
<strong>the</strong>y still are remarkable.<br />
Both Seattle and <strong>the</strong> Capital<br />
District have things that make<br />
<strong>the</strong>m unique and fun places<br />
<strong>to</strong> live. However, after living<br />
in both areas, I have come <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> conclusion that for me,<br />
Seattle is where I would ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />
live when I’m older. It’s such<br />
an interesting city – unlike<br />
any o<strong>the</strong>r one I have been <strong>to</strong>.<br />
There is always something <strong>to</strong><br />
do, and if you ever have <strong>the</strong><br />
chance <strong>to</strong> visit I would highly<br />
recommend it.<br />

Your Opinion in The Spotlight<br />
Communities not lining <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>raise</strong><br />
property values with cell <strong>to</strong>wers<br />
Edi<strong>to</strong>r, The Spotlight:<br />
The July 28 Spotlight coverage of<br />
<strong>the</strong> cell <strong>to</strong>wer location issue left out<br />
several important considerations<br />
(Town consultant: Sprint has not<br />
shown need, page 3).<br />
The information presented at <strong>the</strong><br />
July 21 Zoning Board meeting left<br />
<strong>the</strong> impression that <strong>the</strong> application<br />
for variance was <strong>the</strong> first step,<br />
<strong>to</strong> obtain approval for a location<br />
with defi nite intent <strong>to</strong> expand <strong>the</strong><br />
installation.<br />
A variance from regulations must<br />
be based on a need that overcomes<br />
<strong>the</strong> imposition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community.<br />
Analysis of <strong>the</strong> materials submitted<br />
in s<strong>up</strong>port of <strong>the</strong> request showed<br />
gaps in area coverage by Sprint<br />
based on formula calculations,<br />
which according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> board’s<br />
engineer are not s<strong>up</strong>ported by fi eld<br />

List for <strong>the</strong> spring 2010 semester in<br />

tests and would not be remedied<br />
by <strong>the</strong> proposed <strong>to</strong>wer. The later<br />
height and transmitter additions<br />
referenced in <strong>the</strong> application were<br />
also questionable in improving gaps<br />
in area coverage. Data addressing<br />
such area gaps may show a need of a<br />
particular provider but not an actual<br />
need for <strong>the</strong> community because it<br />
does not demonstrate call volume,<br />
density or dropped calls within those<br />
gaps, which reflect real service<br />
necessities.<br />
Consequently, that <strong>raise</strong>s <strong>the</strong><br />
value of <strong>the</strong> aes<strong>the</strong>tics imposed<br />
on <strong>the</strong> community. The <strong>to</strong>wers<br />
are highly visible structures that<br />
change <strong>the</strong> appearance of <strong>the</strong><br />
neighborhood. Communities have<br />
not been anxiously competing for<br />
<strong>to</strong>wers <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong>ir property<br />
values.<br />

Parents accountable<br />
for childrens’ pranks?<br />
Edi<strong>to</strong>r, The Spotlight:<br />
Regarding <strong>the</strong> recent<br />
prankster’s “ding dong<br />
ditch,” it seems <strong>to</strong> me<br />
that everyone has a<br />
right <strong>to</strong> protect his/her<br />
property, and even if <strong>the</strong><br />
teen involved cannot be<br />
prosecuted, perhaps his<br />
parents should be…a little<br />
community service, like<br />
cutting <strong>the</strong> aggrieved’s<br />
lawn for each prank?<br />
When I fi rst moved in<strong>to</strong><br />
Delmar, my house was hit<br />
with eggs, on <strong>the</strong> driveway,<br />
<strong>the</strong> porch and my car,<br />
and a few years ago, one<br />
of <strong>the</strong> affl uent neighbor’s<br />
children <strong>to</strong>ok a baseball<br />
bat <strong>to</strong> my mailbox.<br />
Perhaps if <strong>the</strong>ir parent’s<br />
were held accountable<br />
<strong>to</strong> clean <strong>up</strong> or make<br />
restitution, it would thwart<br />
<strong>the</strong>se teens over active<br />
pranksterisms.<br />
Perhaps?<br />

Local teens head <strong>to</strong> Maccabi Games<br />
Four-day event a celebration<br />
of sports, service and<br />
heritage for Jewish youth<br />
BY MALLORY BULMAN<br />
news@spotlightnews.com<br />
In <strong>the</strong> competitive world of<br />
sports <strong>to</strong>day, it’s easy <strong>to</strong> get caught<br />
<strong>up</strong> in medals, championships and<br />
<strong>to</strong>urnaments. However, <strong>the</strong> 17 Capital<br />
District teens traveling <strong>to</strong> Richmond,<br />
Va., <strong>to</strong> compete in <strong>the</strong> annual Maccabi<br />
Games will focus on community<br />
service and celebrating culture.<br />
The competition, for Jewish<br />
athletes ages 13 <strong>to</strong> 16, combines<br />
sports with community volunteering<br />
and cultural exposure. With<br />
competi<strong>to</strong>rs from all over <strong>the</strong> United<br />
States, Canada, Europe, Mexico,<br />
Israel and South America, <strong>the</strong><br />
athletes get <strong>the</strong> chance <strong>to</strong> “build<br />
a relationship with teens from<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r places,” said delegation head<br />
Andrew Katz.<br />
Athletes are able <strong>to</strong> apply for<br />
selection at <strong>the</strong> February open house<br />
and are judged on athletic ability and<br />
community service experience.<br />
The athletes picked departed for<br />
Virginia on Sunday, Aug. 1, and will<br />
stay with volunteer host families in<br />
<strong>the</strong> area. Upon arrival, <strong>the</strong> teens will<br />
take part in Opening Ceremonies<br />
at <strong>the</strong> University of Richmond <strong>to</strong><br />
celebrate <strong>the</strong> beginning of four days<br />
of competition.<br />
Not only will <strong>the</strong> athletes compete<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong>ir time in Richmond,<br />
but <strong>the</strong>y will participate in <strong>the</strong> “Days<br />
of Caring and Sharing” program,<br />
where <strong>the</strong> teens will work with local<br />
children from nearby YMCAs and<br />
Boys and Girls Clubs. The athletes<br />
will help <strong>the</strong> children with art<br />
projects, fi eld games and relays.<br />
“It’s more of a giving back type of<br />
project,” said Katz.<br />
The Maccabi Games offers a<br />
multi-faceted experience, as athletes<br />
get <strong>the</strong> chance <strong>to</strong> compete in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
specific sport, make connections<br />
with teens from all around <strong>the</strong> world,<br />
as well as learn and celebrate Jewish<br />
culture.<br />
“I think that it’s going <strong>to</strong> be<br />
interesting. … I think [<strong>the</strong> community<br />
service] is a good aspect. … We’ll<br />
be getting in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community of<br />
Richmond and working <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
as a <strong>team</strong>,” said Sarah Fielman, 15,<br />
a swimmer from Selkirk who will<br />
compete in <strong>the</strong> games. The aquatic<br />
direc<strong>to</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> JCC encouraged<br />
Fielman <strong>to</strong> apply for a chance <strong>to</strong><br />
swim in <strong>the</strong> Maccabi Games.<br />
“It sparked an interest with me,”<br />
she said.<br />
Fielman said she was interested in<br />
taking part in an activity that would help<br />
her learn about not only her culture, but<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs’ as well. Being a part of a sporting<br />
event that also embraces Judaism is<br />
intriguing <strong>to</strong> her.<br />
“I’m really excited. I’ve never<br />
done anything like this,” Fielman<br />
said.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r swimmer, 14-year-<br />
www.spotlightnews.com<br />
old Samantha Ebersold from<br />
Slingerlands, said she “instantly<br />
became interested” in participating<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Maccabi Games after hearing<br />
her cousin talk about his experience<br />
playing baseball in <strong>the</strong> Westchester<br />
Maccabi Games of 2009.<br />
“To me, <strong>the</strong> most exciting part<br />
of going <strong>to</strong> Richmond is getting <strong>to</strong><br />
go and do <strong>the</strong> thing I love <strong>the</strong> most,<br />
while getting <strong>to</strong> meet o<strong>the</strong>rs who<br />
have <strong>the</strong> same interests as me and<br />
who are Jewish,” she said.<br />
Ebersold said she feels a “nervous<br />

Blackhawk training exercise draws attention<br />
Army National Guard<br />
prepares <strong>to</strong> fi ght<br />
wildfi res<br />
By ANDREW BEAM<br />
beam@spotlightnews.com<br />
Residents in Latham all<br />
<strong>the</strong> way <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong> Schuylerville<br />
may have noticed a<br />
Blackhawk helicopter<br />
fl ying overhead, but <strong>the</strong>re<br />
is no need <strong>to</strong> worry; it was<br />
just a test.<br />
The New York Army<br />
National Guard’s Latham<br />
Unit Company A, 3rd<br />
Battalion 142nd Aviation<br />
conducted water bucket<br />
training on Wednesday,<br />
July 28, at <strong>the</strong> Garnsey<br />
Airport, a public airport<br />
just south of <strong>the</strong> village of<br />
Schuylerville and on <strong>the</strong><br />
west side of <strong>the</strong> Hudson<br />
River. The company was<br />
preparing <strong>to</strong> fi ght possible<br />
wildfires in New York or<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r states if its services<br />
are needed.<br />
A UH-60 Lima Blackhawk<br />
helicopter was carrying what<br />
was referred <strong>to</strong> as a Bambi<br />
Bucket <strong>to</strong> pick <strong>up</strong> water<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Hudson River and<br />
carry it <strong>to</strong> an island, just<br />
south of <strong>the</strong> pick<strong>up</strong> point,<br />
where it would dump <strong>the</strong><br />
water back in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> river. The<br />
bucket can carry <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong> 660<br />
gallons, or 5,405 pounds,<br />
of water, according <strong>to</strong> Lt.<br />
Col. Paul Fanning, <strong>the</strong><br />
National Guard’s public<br />
affairs offi cer.<br />
“They can carry troops<br />
and <strong>the</strong>y can carry lots<br />
of s<strong>up</strong>plies. We call <strong>the</strong>m<br />
sling load operations<br />
whenever <strong>the</strong> aircraft is<br />
going <strong>to</strong> be used <strong>to</strong> carry<br />
heavy objects,” he said. “In<br />

a combat zone, it can be<br />
used <strong>to</strong> carry an artillery<br />
piece, a humvee and it<br />
could be used <strong>to</strong> evacuate<br />
casualties.”<br />
With all that weight,<br />
<strong>the</strong> pilot of <strong>the</strong> helicopter,<br />
Chief Warrant Offi cer Jim<br />
McCauley, said <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
certain precautions <strong>the</strong><br />
crew has <strong>to</strong> take when<br />
carrying such heavy cargo.<br />
The most <strong>the</strong> aircraft can<br />
carry, as labeled on <strong>the</strong><br />
hook, is 9,000 pounds.<br />
“It does get a little<br />
sluggish, you just have <strong>to</strong><br />
be careful and think about<br />
everything you’re doing,”<br />
McCauley said. “To [carry<br />
9,000 pounds], we’d have<br />
<strong>to</strong> be stripped out and light<br />
Time for a change?<br />
on gas. That would be <strong>the</strong><br />
maximum.”<br />
Fanning described a<br />
situation where <strong>the</strong> unit<br />
assisted <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>wn of Delmar<br />
during a mudslide in 2000.<br />
The aircraft was used <strong>to</strong><br />
airlift a drill rig in<strong>to</strong> position<br />
<strong>to</strong> drill deep in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> ground<br />
<strong>to</strong> collect soil samples<br />
and help in planning in<br />
rebuilding <strong>the</strong> area washed<br />
out by <strong>the</strong> mudslide.<br />
“They had <strong>to</strong> do <strong>the</strong> lift<br />
in two pieces because <strong>the</strong><br />
drill was so heavy and so<br />
complex,” he said. “The<br />
next piece was fl own over<br />
and <strong>the</strong>y literally hovered<br />
so <strong>the</strong> second component<br />
could be carefully placed<br />
where it needed <strong>to</strong> be<br />

placed, right on <strong>to</strong>p of <strong>the</strong><br />
base of <strong>the</strong> drill rig. Only<br />
<strong>the</strong> Guard could do that<br />
because we’re <strong>the</strong> only<br />
ones with that aircraft and<br />
<strong>the</strong> crews trained <strong>to</strong> do that<br />
kind of stuff.”<br />
Not only does <strong>the</strong><br />
Latham unit assist locally,<br />
Fanning said it helped in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Hurricane Katrina and<br />
Rita efforts, transporting<br />
people who needed <strong>to</strong> be<br />
medically evacuated as well<br />
as bringing relief s<strong>up</strong>plies<br />
such as water and food <strong>to</strong><br />
areas that were not receiving<br />
it quickly enough.<br />
For Wednesday’s<br />
training, McCauley said<br />
members were briefed on<br />
how <strong>to</strong> release <strong>the</strong> water<br />
in <strong>the</strong> bucket, how <strong>to</strong> drop<br />
<strong>the</strong> bucket in case of an<br />
emergency, how <strong>to</strong> test<br />

The training attracted<br />
some attention from local<br />
residents who came out <strong>to</strong><br />
watch.<br />
“This is phenomenal,”<br />
said Joanna Valente, 67,<br />
who said if it weren’t for her<br />
age she’d be <strong>up</strong> <strong>the</strong>re with<br />
<strong>the</strong> unit. “I’m so happy I got<br />
<strong>to</strong> see it.”<br />
Valente has a grandson<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Air National Guard,<br />
Charles Lane, who does<br />
mechanical work on<br />
some of <strong>the</strong> aircraft. He is<br />
scheduled <strong>to</strong> be deployed<br />
<strong>to</strong> Afghanistan in 2012.<br />
“He’s <strong>the</strong> one who really<br />
got me hooked,” she said of<br />
<strong>the</strong> military aircraft. “I love<br />
airplanes, <strong>the</strong> big stealth<br />
bombers, Blackhawks. I<br />
love ’em.”<br />
Susan Garnsey, who<br />
lives in <strong>the</strong> house directly<br />
next <strong>to</strong> where <strong>the</strong> training<br />
was taking place, said <strong>the</strong><br />
sound of <strong>the</strong> helicopter<br />
doesn’t bo<strong>the</strong>r her at all.<br />
“It’s kind of neat,” she<br />
said. “I don’t find it any<br />
inconvenience.”<br />

Jeremy hopes <strong>to</strong> lend<br />
a different perspective<br />
on how <strong>the</strong> library can<br />
reduce operating costs<br />
while maintaining current<br />
services: “My vision is<br />
<strong>to</strong> continue <strong>the</strong> library’s<br />
commendable record of<br />

Delmar man’s debut novel hits shelves<br />
‘Stash’ examines<br />
affl uent suburbia<br />
and its denizens’<br />
hidden trials<br />
By CHARLES WIFF<br />
wiffc@spotlightnews.com<br />
“Suburbia” is a loaded word, one<br />
that calls forward white picket fences,<br />
happy families and content spouses. But<br />
just like in any o<strong>the</strong>r part of <strong>the</strong> world,<br />
those who live in well-<strong>to</strong>-do communities<br />
struggle with <strong>the</strong>mselves and o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
That’s what author and Delmar<br />
resident David Klein is exploring in his<br />
fi rst novel, “Stash,” which hit shelves<br />
last week.<br />
It takes place in a subdued suburban<br />
community in <strong>up</strong>state New York and<br />
follows Gwen Raine, a stay-at-home mom<br />
with a perfect life who fi nds herself in<br />
hot water when cops fi nd a small bag of<br />
marijuana in her car after an accident.<br />
“She’s constantly getting herself in a<br />
little bit deeper because she's constantly<br />
having <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong>se choices,” Klein<br />
said. “It just kind of spirals a little bit for<br />
her, getting more and more deeper in<strong>to</strong><br />
this confl ict.”<br />
Gwen’s husband, Brian, has his own<br />
issues with drugs, as he works at a<br />
pharmaceutical company that wants <strong>to</strong><br />
market its antidepressant as a weight loss<br />
drug, <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> government’s chagrin. And<br />
<strong>the</strong> co<strong>up</strong>le's daughter is involved with a<br />
soldier addicted <strong>to</strong> painkillers.<br />
While it might sound like “Stash”<br />
revolves around drugs, that’s not <strong>the</strong><br />
case, said Klein. It’s more about <strong>the</strong><br />
characters’relationships with one ano<strong>the</strong>r,<br />
<strong>to</strong>ld from multiple perspectives.<br />

David Klein is celebrating <strong>the</strong> release<br />
of his fi rst novel: “Stash,” which went<br />
on sale Tuesday, July 27.<br />
Charles Wiff/Spotlight<br />
“I think of drugs as less of a <strong>the</strong>me and<br />
more of a setting,” Klein said. “I really<br />
didn’t try <strong>to</strong> do any moralizing or judging<br />
about drugs. I’m trying <strong>to</strong> put characters<br />
in<strong>to</strong> moral dilemmas and having <strong>the</strong>m<br />
work out one way or ano<strong>the</strong>r.”<br />
Seeing <strong>the</strong> two worlds of carefree<br />
suburbia and a more deviant drug<br />
scene collide also pushed <strong>the</strong> novel<br />
forward. Critics have been kind so far,<br />
characterizing <strong>the</strong> book as a summer<br />
page-turner that still has substance.<br />
Klein has been writing for years,<br />
longer than <strong>the</strong> 15 he’s called Delmar<br />
home. He’s penned short s<strong>to</strong>ries that<br />
have been published in literary journals,<br />
as well as more technical writing and<br />
newspaper work. He also runs Klein<br />
Marketing as his “day job.”<br />
Although “Stash” isn’t his fi rst novel, it<br />
is <strong>the</strong> fi rst one <strong>to</strong> be released. The 365-page<br />
book <strong>to</strong>ok about two years <strong>to</strong> write, but it <strong>to</strong>ok<br />
an additional year <strong>to</strong> get it <strong>to</strong> shelves.<br />
“I’ve always kind of written what I<br />
wanted,” he said. “With ‘Stash,’ I maybe<br />
wrote a little more with an audience in<br />
mind ... and I got a lot of interest when I<br />
started sending it around.”<br />
He doesn't think that has cheapened <strong>the</strong><br />
experience or his vision, though, which is<br />
always a danger when an author writes <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> marketplace and not his audience.<br />
“I think I fall somewhere in between,<br />
where I want <strong>to</strong> write what I want <strong>to</strong> write,<br />
but I also have an eye <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> audience,”<br />
Klein said.<br />
You can read more about “Stash,”<br />
including <strong>the</strong> fi rst chapter of <strong>the</strong> book,<br />
by visiting www.bydavidklein.com. The<br />
book is available as an eBook, from<br />
online retailers like Amazon.com and at<br />
brick-and-mortar s<strong>to</strong>res. The paperback’s<br />
list price is $14.99.<br />

<strong>to</strong> build <strong>the</strong> addition<br />
after estimates for <strong>the</strong><br />
structure came back. It<br />
didn't take long for her <strong>to</strong><br />
fi nd companies willing <strong>to</strong><br />
donate s<strong>up</strong>plies and labor<br />
at-cost or for free.<br />
“It was very quick,”<br />
she said of <strong>the</strong> response.<br />
“Some people were on<br />
board with just a phone<br />
call.”<br />
Since starting on July<br />

have made donations,<br />
and Barrier Free Systems<br />
s<strong>up</strong>plied <strong>the</strong> equipment<br />
<strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong> home<br />
handicapped accessible<br />
at no cost.<br />
There are numerous<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r donors who made<br />
contributions big and small<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> addition, which is<br />
slowly taking shape.<br />
Even <strong>the</strong> neighbors<br />
are helping by letting<br />
vehicles on<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
property when needed,<br />
said Bolduc.<br />
“A lot of people are<br />
stepping <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> plate<br />
here and doing whatever<br />
<strong>the</strong>y can,” he said.<br />
When finished, <strong>the</strong><br />
home will have an addition<br />
with a handicap-accessible<br />
bedroom, washroom and<br />
sitting room, as well as<br />
an accessible deck and<br />
covered car port. The<br />
kitchen will also be<br />
modified so Jones'<br />
wheelchair can move<br />
through it.<br />
It's hard <strong>to</strong> put a fi nish<br />
date on <strong>the</strong> home, in<br />
part because not all <strong>the</strong><br />
needed parts are lined<br />
Aug 10-15<br />
<strong>up</strong> yet. Bolen said she's<br />
still trying <strong>to</strong> find an<br />
appropriate heating<br />
and cooling system that<br />
Jones needs because<br />
his body can no longer<br />
properly regulate its<br />
temperature.<br />
Jones has been in <strong>the</strong><br />
hospital or nursing home<br />
ever since his injury,<br />
which occurred in Florida.<br />
DeStaso-Jones spent<br />
months traveling <strong>to</strong> a New<br />
Jersey hospital with her 2year-old<br />
daughter, Liliana.<br />
She's hoping <strong>to</strong> return<br />
<strong>to</strong> her job as a Colonie<br />
teacher soon.<br />
While <strong>the</strong>ir lives have<br />
been changed forever,<br />
what has made it possible <strong>to</strong><br />
continue forward has been<br />
her husband’s strength<br />
and <strong>the</strong> generosity of<br />
friends, neighbors and<br />
strangers, DeStaso-Jones<br />
said.<br />
“I did not expect nearly<br />
as much as <strong>the</strong> kind of<br />
s<strong>up</strong>port we're receiving,”<br />
she said. “We're so<br />
grateful.”<br />

The parking lot at G<strong>up</strong>till’s Arena in Latham fi lls <strong>up</strong> when it hosts monthly car cruises<br />
during <strong>the</strong> summer.<br />
ob Richardson <strong>the</strong>re are typically 600 <strong>to</strong><br />
always wanted 700 cars and <strong>up</strong>wards of<br />
BFairlane<br />
<strong>to</strong> buy a Ford 5,000 specta<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
like he had in high<br />
school. When he fi nally<br />
found one, it provided<br />
more than a link <strong>to</strong> his<br />
past: It helped him<br />
make friends.<br />
Richardson had<br />
moved <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Albany<br />
area for his job and<br />
found it a little lonely.<br />
“I didn’t know<br />
anyone,” he said.<br />
That changed when<br />
he started going <strong>to</strong> car<br />
shows and cruises with “I’ve lived a lot of<br />
his Fairlane. Richardson places, and I’ve never seen<br />
formed some close bonds anything this size,” said<br />
with fellow car owners, Frank Alguire of Ravena,<br />
which only tightened when <strong>the</strong> club’s president.<br />
G<strong>up</strong>till’s Arena announced<br />
Like Richardson,<br />
it was going <strong>to</strong> move <strong>the</strong><br />
Alguire got involved in car<br />
day it held its monthly<br />
clubs after he moved <strong>to</strong><br />
cruises. The car club that<br />
this area and was <strong>look</strong>ing<br />
was staging <strong>the</strong> cruises<br />
couldn’t do<br />
it on <strong>the</strong><br />
new night,<br />
Richardson<br />
said, so<br />
he and his<br />
wife, Joan,<br />
decided<br />
<strong>to</strong> form a<br />
new club<br />
dedicated<br />
<strong>to</strong> keeping<br />
<strong>the</strong> G<strong>up</strong>till’s<br />
cruises alive.<br />
Pat Villani said this ‘57 Chevy was an “old rust bucket”<br />
That when he bought it.<br />
club, <strong>the</strong><br />
Capital District Cruisers, <strong>to</strong> meet people. He got<br />
holds cruises at G<strong>up</strong>till’s in<strong>to</strong> cars not because he<br />
in Latham once a month was <strong>look</strong>ing <strong>to</strong> recapture<br />
during <strong>the</strong> summer. The a piece of his youth, but<br />
next one is Monday, Aug. because he likes “cars that<br />
9, from 4 <strong>to</strong> 9 p.m. catch your attention.”<br />
If you go, expect a “When <strong>the</strong>y drive by<br />

more likely <strong>to</strong> notice,” he<br />
said.<br />
Alguire noticed <strong>the</strong> car<br />
after which his cus<strong>to</strong>m<br />
hot rod is modeled while<br />
watching “77 Sunset Strip”<br />
when he was younger. The<br />
television show featured a<br />
character named Kookie<br />
who drove a 1923 Model<br />
T.<br />
“I fell in love with <strong>the</strong><br />
car,” Alguire said.<br />
Alguire thought about<br />
purchasing a Model T,<br />
<strong>look</strong>ing at several that<br />
were for sale, before<br />
deciding he would build<br />
his own.<br />
“I’m a hobbyist,” he<br />
said, noting that he built<br />
<strong>the</strong> frame and got a<br />
junkyard transmission.<br />
As much as he likes<br />
<strong>the</strong> attention that comes<br />
with owning <strong>the</strong> Model<br />
T, his favorite thing about<br />
<strong>the</strong> G<strong>up</strong>till’s<br />
cruises, he<br />
said, is that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y aren’t<br />
competitions.<br />
There are no<br />
entry fees or<br />
trophies.<br />
“It’s just<br />
a lot of fun,”<br />
Alguire said.<br />
“There’s no<br />
pressure.”<br />
Erin<br />

Classic car enthusiasts cruise on down <strong>to</strong><br />
G<strong>up</strong>till’s once a month in <strong>the</strong> summer<br />
Joan and Bob Richardson stand<br />
in front of <strong>the</strong>ir Ford Fairlane,<br />
a car Bob purchased “just for<br />
fun” after owning a similar one<br />
in high school.<br />
about joining forces with<br />
<strong>the</strong> Richardsons.<br />
“We could not see<br />
losing such a good thing <strong>to</strong><br />
do,” Dana said.<br />
“Everyone <strong>look</strong>s<br />
forward <strong>to</strong> it,” Erin added.<br />
Dana said that he’s<br />
drawn <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> club and <strong>the</strong><br />
cruises for a simple reason:<br />
Cars are his passion.<br />
“That’s my thing,” he<br />
said. “That’s my football.<br />
That’s my golf.”<br />
That’s a common<br />
sentiment among classic<br />
car owners, who largely<br />
aren’t in<strong>to</strong> sports or<br />
drinking, said Pat Villani<br />
of Glenville, <strong>the</strong> gro<strong>up</strong>’s<br />
treasurer.<br />
“It’s a whole different<br />
breed of person,” Villani<br />
said. “You can walk <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong><br />
any car person and you’re<br />
going <strong>to</strong> fi nd a friendly<br />
person.”<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r trait car owners<br />
tend <strong>to</strong> share is that <strong>the</strong>y’re<br />
mechanically inclined,<br />
he said. That’s <strong>the</strong> case<br />
with Villani, who said his<br />
gleaming ‘57 Chevy was an<br />
“old rust bucket” when he<br />
bought it.<br />
Villani has actually<br />
owned a number of ‘57<br />
Chevys. But he eventually<br />
got tired of <strong>the</strong>m and<br />
decided <strong>to</strong> buy a ‘66 Impala<br />
convertible instead.<br />
That didn’t go over well<br />
at home.<br />
“My wife was very<br />
<strong>up</strong>set,” he said with a<br />
laugh.<br />
So off he went <strong>to</strong> fi nd<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r ‘57 Chevy.<br />
Doug Roberts<br />
of Albany <strong>look</strong>ed<br />
admiringly at Villani’s car<br />
and a handful of o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
during <strong>the</strong> club’s recent<br />
picnic at <strong>the</strong> Crossings<br />
in Colonie. Roberts is<br />
somewhat unusual in that<br />
he belongs <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> club<br />
but doesn’t own a classic<br />
car. He joined after <strong>the</strong><br />
Richardsons, whom he<br />
knew from work, assured<br />
him that “having a car<br />
is not necessarily a big<br />
thing.”<br />
But that doesn’t mean<br />
Roberts doesn’t want<br />
<strong>to</strong> own a car someday.<br />
Recently retired, he<br />
bought a camper and<br />
<strong>the</strong>n a truck <strong>to</strong> haul it.<br />
Once those are paid<br />
off, he hopes <strong>to</strong> get a<br />
classic car, probably<br />
nothing newer than<br />
1970, although he hasn’t<br />
settled on a make and<br />
model.<br />
“Some of <strong>the</strong> old<br />
cars, I just love <strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong><br />
death,” he said.<br />
The appeal of <strong>the</strong> club,<br />
he said, is seeing just<br />
what every owner does<br />
<strong>to</strong> make his or her car a<br />
little different from <strong>the</strong><br />
rest. Everyone is more<br />
than happy <strong>to</strong> talk <strong>to</strong> him<br />
about <strong>the</strong> modifi cations<br />
<strong>the</strong>y’ve made and what<br />
cars <strong>the</strong>y think might be<br />
a good fi t for him.<br />
There was a time when<br />
Joan Richardson would<br />
have felt lost in such<br />
conversations. But after<br />
marrying her husband,<br />
she came <strong>to</strong> enjoy <strong>the</strong><br />
classic car scene as much<br />
as he does.<br />
“We just like <strong>the</strong><br />
camaraderie,” she said.<br />
G<strong>up</strong>till’s is <strong>the</strong> perfect<br />
place for that camaraderie<br />
<strong>to</strong> grow, according <strong>to</strong><br />
Bob Richardson. For one<br />
thing, <strong>the</strong>re’s a lot of space,<br />
including a grassy area<br />
where owners can display<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir cars. Beyond that, it’s<br />
fi tting <strong>to</strong> hold <strong>the</strong> cruises<br />
at a roller rink, considering<br />
that skating was a huge<br />
part of people’s childhood.<br />
“It’s perfectly in <strong>the</strong><br />
era,” he said. “We all went<br />
roller skating. It’s just all<br />
part of <strong>the</strong> nostalgia and<br />
<strong>the</strong> memories.”<br />
Admission <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
cruises is free, although<br />
<strong>the</strong> Cruisers ask for one<br />
non-perishable food item<br />
(or cash) <strong>to</strong> help s<strong>up</strong>port<br />
<strong>the</strong> Regional Food Bank of<br />
Nor<strong>the</strong>astern New York.<br />
There is live music, and<br />
ice cream and o<strong>the</strong>r food<br />
is sold at G<strong>up</strong>till’s Coney<br />
Express. Cars as old as<br />
1985 are welcome at <strong>the</strong><br />
August cruise; <strong>the</strong> Sept. 13<br />
cruise is also open <strong>to</strong> cars<br />
from any year with aftermarket<br />
cus<strong>to</strong>mizing.<br />

2010<br />
To her family, “Budge”<br />
was <strong>the</strong> energetic, loving,<br />
fi ercely loyal woman who<br />
knew about<br />
multitasking<br />
before <strong>the</strong><br />
term was<br />
coined. She<br />
could do<br />
everything<br />
from making clo<strong>the</strong>s for<br />
her two children, Jane<br />
and John, <strong>to</strong> cooking and<br />
presenting a gourmet meal<br />
for a crowd. And she did all of<br />
that while moving <strong>the</strong> family<br />
nine times as a Navy wife<br />
married <strong>to</strong> CDR (ret) Russell<br />
H. Weidman. They lived in<br />
West Springfi eld, Va. for <strong>the</strong><br />
past 35 years and celebrated<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir 53rd anniversary on<br />

To ano<strong>the</strong>r circle, Budge<br />

scheduled, s<strong>up</strong>ervised and<br />
befriended <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong> 55 o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

<strong>the</strong> field records of <strong>the</strong><br />
Freedmen’s Bureau, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> Civil War Widow’s<br />
Pension Files.<br />
An amazingly generous<br />
person, Budge happily shared<br />
information she learned from<br />
<strong>the</strong> Archives records with all<br />
who asked. She accepted<br />
speaking engagements, but<br />
<strong>to</strong>ok no pay, <strong>to</strong> discuss <strong>the</strong><br />
CWCC work and some of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir findings in <strong>the</strong> Civil<br />
War fi les.<br />
Last year, <strong>the</strong> National<br />
Archives announced <strong>the</strong><br />
creation of <strong>the</strong> annual<br />

Volunteer <strong>Service</strong> Award<br />
and Budge and Russ were<br />
<strong>the</strong> fi rst recipients.<br />

Life! To Life! is a non-profi t organization providing free-of-charge breast cancer education and s<strong>up</strong>port services in a<br />

men<strong>to</strong>rs, personalized boutique services and wellness activities. “The Women’s Member-Guest has been held<br />
for as long as she can remember, but it wasn’t traditionally held as a charitable event. This changed several years<br />
ago when <strong>the</strong> women of Normanside got <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> s<strong>up</strong>port a friend diagnosed with breast cancer. This year was <strong>the</strong><br />
fi rst time <strong>the</strong> event has benefi tted a local organization, ” said Rebecca Clancy, president of <strong>the</strong> Women’s Organization<br />
at Normanside Country Club. “To Life! was especially welcomed this year as Normanside wanted <strong>to</strong> s<strong>up</strong>port a gro<strong>up</strong><br />
that helps so many women right here in our community!” The Women’s Organization as well as <strong>the</strong> Member-Guest<br />
Planning Committee would like <strong>to</strong> thank everyone who contributed <strong>to</strong>wards <strong>the</strong> success of this event. We couldn’t have<br />

<strong>the</strong>y do not appear<br />
<strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> petition<br />
itself.<br />
“I am not permitted <strong>to</strong><br />
endorse candidates in any<br />
race and I have not done so,<br />
nor will I,” said Donovan in<br />
a statement. “If my actions<br />
have been interpreted as<br />
an endorsement of any<br />
candidate, <strong>the</strong>y should not<br />
have been.”<br />
He declined <strong>to</strong> speak<br />
directly about <strong>the</strong> matter<br />
fur<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
The Judicial Campaign<br />
Ethics Center is an arm<br />
of <strong>the</strong> state Unifi ed Court<br />
System that seeks <strong>to</strong><br />
provide ethics advice for<br />
judicial candidates. The<br />
body can also assist in<br />
mediation should <strong>the</strong>re<br />
be disagreements between<br />
candidates.<br />
A mediation seems<br />
unlikely in this scenario,<br />
as no one is seeking<br />
<strong>to</strong> have <strong>the</strong> signature<br />
disqualifi ed.<br />
“It would be a waste<br />
of effort and money,”<br />
said Melody Burns,<br />
chairwoman of <strong>the</strong><br />
Bethlehem Republican<br />
Committee. “[Gordon]<br />
had enough signatures,<br />
so it doesn’t make any<br />
sense.”<br />
The rule in question<br />
does not pertain <strong>to</strong> election<br />
law, so it’s unlikely a basis<br />
would be found <strong>to</strong> have <strong>the</strong><br />
signatures thrown out.<br />
While Ambrosio said he<br />
was unconcerned about<br />
Donovan’s petitions,<br />
it was apparently his<br />
own campaign that led<br />
<strong>the</strong> GOP <strong>to</strong> <strong>look</strong> in<strong>to</strong><br />
Donovan.<br />
Ambrosio said he was<br />
asked <strong>to</strong> carry petitions<br />
for o<strong>the</strong>r candidates<br />
when he was canvassing<br />
for <strong>the</strong> Independence<br />
and Conservative lines.<br />
Canvassing is a time-<br />
and energy-consuming<br />
process, so it’s not unusual<br />
for affi liated candidates <strong>to</strong><br />
help one ano<strong>the</strong>r out.<br />
“Several of my fellow<br />
Republican candidates<br />
found out I was having<br />
some success [ga<strong>the</strong>ring<br />
third-party signatures]<br />
and asked me if I<br />
wouldn’t mind carrying<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir petitions, <strong>to</strong>o. ...<br />
I <strong>to</strong>ld <strong>the</strong>m, I can’t do<br />
it,” Ambrosio said. “This<br />
being my first rodeo, I<br />
wanted <strong>to</strong> take a very,<br />
very conservative and<br />
careful approach <strong>to</strong><br />
this.”<br />
Both Donovan and<br />
Ambrosio are seeking<br />
<strong>the</strong> Independence and<br />
Conservative lines,<br />
meaning <strong>the</strong>re will be a<br />
Sept. 14 primary for those<br />
slots.<br />

(From Page 28)<br />
from <strong>the</strong> people she had<br />
come <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> game with by<br />
that beam.<br />
That probably happens<br />
all <strong>the</strong> time <strong>the</strong>re, though.<br />
The Red Sox have sold out<br />
more than 600 consecutive<br />
games — even <strong>the</strong> seats<br />
that are blocked by those<br />
infernal beams.<br />
The game itself was<br />
fairly unremarkable<br />
through <strong>the</strong> first eight<br />
innings. The Tigers built<br />
a 6-1 lead, partially on <strong>the</strong><br />
strength of two Jhonny<br />
Peralta home runs (yes,<br />
I said Jhonny Peralta).<br />
About <strong>the</strong> only highlights<br />
for Red Sox Nation in<br />
those eight innings were<br />
a Carl<strong>to</strong>n Fisk sighting<br />
(for <strong>the</strong> record, <strong>the</strong>y still<br />
love Fisk in Bean<strong>to</strong>wn),<br />
a Marco Scutaro home<br />
run (shorts<strong>to</strong>ps love<br />
hitting homers over that<br />
Green Monster) and <strong>the</strong><br />
obliga<strong>to</strong>ry sing-a-long <strong>to</strong><br />
“Sweet Caroline.”<br />
But <strong>the</strong>n, <strong>the</strong> ninth inning<br />
came. And with it, our<br />
night went absolutely off<br />
<strong>the</strong> rails (you’ll understand<br />
how that was meant as a<br />
pun a little fur<strong>the</strong>r down<br />
this column).<br />
Closer Jose Valverde<br />
was in <strong>the</strong> game for Detroit.<br />
I wouldn’t say Valverde is<br />
out of shape, but a sumo<br />
wrestler has a better<br />
physique than Valverde<br />
<strong>the</strong>se days. And judging<br />
from what Valverde did in<br />
<strong>the</strong> ninth inning, a sumo<br />
wrestler probably would<br />
have been more effective<br />
than him.<br />
It started well for<br />
Valverde, as he struck out<br />
Eric Patterson for <strong>the</strong> fi rst<br />
out. But <strong>the</strong>n, Valverde<br />
walked Scutaro. That was<br />
followed by a walk <strong>to</strong> Jed<br />
Lowrie (who had gone<br />
0-for-3 at <strong>the</strong> plate with a<br />
walk prior <strong>to</strong> that at bat).<br />
Then, Valverde walked<br />

with a fi ve run lead.<br />
So <strong>the</strong>n, David Ortiz<br />
steps <strong>up</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> plate. The<br />
17,000 fans still in Fenway<br />
Park are going crazy. All<br />
I’m thinking is, “Ortiz isn’t<br />
going <strong>to</strong> hit a grand slam,<br />
is he?”<br />
The count goes <strong>to</strong><br />
three balls and two<br />
strikes. Valverde is using<br />
an oxygen tank between<br />
pitches. He <strong>look</strong>s like he’s<br />
on <strong>the</strong> ropes. And <strong>the</strong>n …<br />
THWACK!<br />
Ortiz lofts a ball <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
right fi eld corner, not more<br />
than 50 feet from where<br />
Bill and I were sitting. The<br />
ball lands about eight rows<br />
deep in <strong>the</strong> stands for a<br />
grand slam.<br />
Detroit 6, Bos<strong>to</strong>n 5.<br />
I’m standing in shock.<br />
Bill says something<br />
about doing bad things <strong>to</strong><br />
Valverde if he was Detroit<br />
manager Jim Leyland.<br />
Meanwhile, 17,000 Red<br />
Sox Nation members are<br />
going absolutely insane.<br />
After <strong>look</strong>ing <strong>to</strong>ward<br />
<strong>the</strong> dugout <strong>to</strong> see if he<br />
was going <strong>to</strong> get pulled,<br />
Valverde collected himself<br />
and struck out Vic<strong>to</strong>r<br />
Martinez for <strong>the</strong> second<br />
out. This was followed by<br />
an Adrian Beltre double<br />
that brought Fenway <strong>to</strong> life<br />
a third time. About <strong>the</strong> only<br />
thing that could have put<br />
this night over <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p was<br />
if injured second baseman<br />
Dustin Pedroia came in <strong>to</strong><br />
pinch hit.<br />
Except that it was J.D.<br />
Drew that pinch hit. And<br />
Valverde intentionally<br />
walked him <strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong> Mike<br />
Cameron, who he <strong>the</strong>n<br />
struck out <strong>to</strong> mercifully<br />
end <strong>the</strong> game.<br />
If that would have been<br />
<strong>the</strong> only crazy part about<br />
our night at Fenway, Bill<br />
and I would have been<br />

Beginning at 8:45<br />
satisfi ed. But <strong>the</strong>n, we had<br />
<strong>to</strong> get back on <strong>the</strong> train<br />
<strong>to</strong> Braintree. And that’s<br />
where things <strong>to</strong>ok ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
turn <strong>to</strong>ward <strong>the</strong> bizarre.<br />
Let me start by mentioning<br />
that <strong>the</strong>re are two<br />
outbound red line trains<br />
-- one <strong>to</strong> Braintree, and<br />
one <strong>to</strong> Ashmont. The one<br />
<strong>to</strong> Ashmont would have<br />
done us no good, so we<br />
specifi cally <strong>look</strong>ed for <strong>the</strong><br />
Braintree train when we<br />
got back <strong>to</strong> Park Street<br />
station.<br />
The fi rst train that pulled<br />
in was for Ashmont, so Bill<br />
and I were prepared <strong>to</strong><br />
let that one go by when<br />
we heard <strong>the</strong> following<br />
announcement from <strong>the</strong><br />
train:<br />
“If you’re going <strong>to</strong><br />
Braintree, please get on<br />
this train.”<br />
Huh?<br />
Then, ano<strong>the</strong>r voice —<br />
this time, a female voice:<br />
“Braintree passengers,<br />
GET ON THIS TRAIN!”<br />
Well, when someone<br />
says “get on this train,” you<br />
get on. So, that’s what Bill<br />
and I did.<br />
It should be noted here<br />
that <strong>the</strong>re was a reason<br />
<strong>to</strong> get on <strong>the</strong> Ashmont<br />
train, or so we thought.<br />
One of <strong>the</strong> Braintree-line<br />
stations was shut down<br />
for construction, and we<br />
were <strong>to</strong>ld that we needed <strong>to</strong><br />
board a shuttle bus during<br />
<strong>the</strong> ride <strong>to</strong> get <strong>the</strong> train <strong>to</strong><br />
Braintree.<br />
So <strong>the</strong>re we were on<br />
<strong>the</strong> Ashmont line, listening<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> two conduc<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
basically play “good cop,<br />
bad cop” as <strong>the</strong>y implored<br />
Braintree-bound riders <strong>to</strong><br />
get on <strong>the</strong>ir train.<br />
Male conduc<strong>to</strong>r: “If<br />
you’re going <strong>to</strong> Braintree,<br />
please get on this train.<br />
You will <strong>the</strong>n get off at<br />

<strong>up</strong> <strong>the</strong> train <strong>to</strong> Braintree.”<br />
Female conduc<strong>to</strong>r:<br />
“Braintree passengers:<br />
GET ON THIS TRAIN!<br />
GET ON NOW!”<br />
(Side note: Bill’s<br />
comment that <strong>the</strong> female<br />
conduc<strong>to</strong>r sounded like<br />
Samuel L. Jackson in<br />
“Snakes on a Plane” caused<br />
our whole car <strong>to</strong> laugh<br />
hysterically.)<br />
When we reached <strong>the</strong><br />
JFK/UMass station, <strong>the</strong><br />
Braintree passengers<br />
got off as instructed and<br />
went <strong>up</strong>stairs, where we<br />
thought we were about <strong>to</strong><br />
be pointed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> shuttle<br />
busses. Instead, a Bos<strong>to</strong>n<br />
Metro Transit Authority<br />
worker pointed us <strong>to</strong> go<br />
downstairs again, which<br />
led us <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Braintree<br />
platform.<br />
That seemed anti<strong>the</strong>tical<br />
<strong>to</strong> what we were <strong>to</strong>ld on <strong>the</strong><br />
Ashmont train, so we went<br />
<strong>to</strong>ward <strong>the</strong> exit turnstiles.<br />
There, ano<strong>the</strong>r BMTA<br />
worker <strong>to</strong>ld us that <strong>the</strong>re<br />
were no shuttle busses and<br />

we needed <strong>to</strong> board <strong>the</strong><br />

At this point, several<br />
bewildered passengers<br />
(including Bill) started<br />
grilling <strong>the</strong> BMTA worker,<br />
but we all eventually went<br />
downstairs <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Braintree<br />
platform. While we were<br />
waiting for <strong>the</strong> Braintree<br />
train, Bill remarked that<br />
he half expected <strong>to</strong> see<br />
a headless horseman <strong>to</strong><br />
show <strong>up</strong> and take us <strong>to</strong> …<br />
well, who knows where.<br />
Maybe Braintree, maybe<br />
Sleepy Hollow or maybe<br />
hell.<br />
Fortunately <strong>the</strong><br />
Braintree train arrived,<br />
and as we settled in<strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> ride, I <strong>look</strong>ed at <strong>the</strong><br />
map. As it turned out, <strong>the</strong><br />
station that was closed<br />
was between JFK/UMass<br />
and Wollas<strong>to</strong>n. So, all we<br />
were going <strong>to</strong> do was roll<br />
past <strong>the</strong> closed station<br />
and go <strong>to</strong> Wollas<strong>to</strong>n, and<br />

off at <strong>the</strong> closed station was<br />

wanted <strong>to</strong> go.<br />
Now, if <strong>the</strong> BMTA had<br />
simply explained it like<br />
that instead of telling us<br />
<strong>to</strong> board <strong>the</strong> wrong train<br />
and get us all confused<br />
with a female conduc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
screaming about a shuttle<br />
bus that wasn’t at <strong>the</strong><br />
station we had <strong>to</strong> get off at<br />
— wait, now I’m getting all<br />
confused again.<br />
Anyway, Bill and I made<br />
it back <strong>to</strong> Braintree, where<br />
Bill explained <strong>the</strong> whole<br />
thing <strong>to</strong> Suzi. And I’m<br />
pretty sure that as Bill<br />
was recounting <strong>the</strong> night’s<br />
events in <strong>the</strong> car, Suzi was<br />
thinking, “Glad I wasn’t<br />
<strong>the</strong>re.”<br />

I’m going <strong>to</strong> make certain<br />
that <strong>the</strong> subway line I pick<br />
doesn’t have any station<br />
closings that night. I don’t<br />
need <strong>to</strong> go through that<br />
again.<br />
That’s it for this week,<br />
folks. Remember <strong>to</strong> fill<br />
out those Spotlight Sports<br />

Sports Survey III<br />
Well, here it is – Year 3 of <strong>the</strong> Spotlight Newspapers Sports Survey.<br />
You know how this works by now. I give you a bunch of multiple choice questions, and you<br />
select <strong>the</strong> answer that best fi ts your opinion. Then you send me your answers, I tally <strong>the</strong>m <strong>up</strong><br />
and come <strong>up</strong> with a pithy article describing <strong>the</strong> results. It’s simple, it’s fun and it <strong>to</strong>tally fi lls <strong>up</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> sports pages. Clever, eh?<br />
The hard part was determining this year’s <strong>the</strong>me. In <strong>the</strong> end, I decided <strong>to</strong> turn you – my<br />
faithful readers – in<strong>to</strong> prognostica<strong>to</strong>rs. And don’t worry about trying <strong>to</strong> be perfect like Paul <strong>the</strong><br />

Fenway Follies<br />
with Bill & Rob<br />
If New York City<br />
is “<strong>the</strong> greatest city From <strong>the</strong><br />
in <strong>the</strong> world,” how<br />
S come so many of<br />
its residents leave ports<br />
<strong>the</strong>re on summer<br />
weekends? While Desk<br />
you’re pondering Rob Jonas<br />
that, it’s time <strong>to</strong><br />
move on…<br />
File this under <strong>the</strong> title, “Bill and Rob’s Not-soexcellent<br />
Adventure.”<br />
I went <strong>to</strong> visit my friend (and former Spotlight<br />
Newspaper edi<strong>to</strong>r) Bill Fonda and his wife, Suzi, last<br />
weekend outside Bos<strong>to</strong>n. The highlight of this annual<br />
trip was <strong>to</strong> be my fi rst Fenway Park experience, as Bill<br />
had acquired two tickets for last Friday’s Red Sox-Detroit<br />
Tigers game.<br />
First of all, for those of you who have never been <strong>to</strong><br />
Fenway Park, it is best <strong>to</strong> use public transportation <strong>to</strong><br />
get <strong>the</strong>re. From what I could tell, parking lots are almost<br />
non-existent near <strong>the</strong> stadium. There was one lot, but <strong>to</strong><br />
get <strong>to</strong> it, you had <strong>to</strong> navigate through <strong>the</strong> mass of Red<br />
Sox paraphernalia-wearing Bos<strong>to</strong>nians.<br />
Bill and I rode <strong>the</strong> Bos<strong>to</strong>n subway system’s red line<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Braintree terminal <strong>to</strong> a s<strong>to</strong>p in <strong>the</strong> heart of<br />
<strong>the</strong> city, <strong>the</strong>n changed trains <strong>to</strong> get <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> area around<br />
Fenway. It was a telling moment when <strong>the</strong> red line train’s<br />
conduc<strong>to</strong>r said as we got off at <strong>the</strong> Park Street station,<br />
“Go get ‘em, Red Sox fans.” Being born and <strong>raise</strong>d<br />
New Yorkers, I think we both threw <strong>up</strong> a little bit in our<br />
mouths when he said that.<br />
It was also <strong>the</strong> last smooth ride we had on <strong>the</strong> red<br />
line that night. More on that later…<br />
When we got inside Fenway Park, we discovered one<br />
of its quirks — beams. As in big, green, steel beams that<br />
could make watching a baseball game nearly impossible.<br />
Fortunately, our seats were next <strong>to</strong> a beam, not directly<br />
behind it. Unfortunately, an elderly co<strong>up</strong>le got planted<br />
behind that beam. And ano<strong>the</strong>r person got separated<br />
