The eight candidates for the Bethlehem Central school board had a chance last Tuesday to sharpen their messages to the electorate with more differences in style than substance emerging from the dialogue.
The campaign, which has been enlivened not only by the abundance of candidates, but also by the.paid advertisements that have been published on _the behalf of several, comes to a head today (Wednesday). Voting on the board hopefuls, a budget proposal for 1985-86 and two propositions related to transportation will continue until9 p.m. at the middle school, on Kenwood Ave. in Delmar. All U.S. citizens 18 or older who have lived in the district at least 30 days may vote.
The audience of about 80 at the forum at the high school, sponso,red by middle school and high school parent groups, was treated to some plain-speaking and a little waffling. But the evening was .notable for its burden of misguided assumptions and misinformation, such as the presumption of "hidden" thousands in the budget drawn from a typographical error on one li'ne.
While Bethlehem Central's
budget was the No. I topic, questions from the audience touched on other topics such as additional revenue sources, redistricting, and the quality of education in Bethlehem.
Two of the candidates left no doubt where they stood on the district's proposed $17.5 million budget for 1985-86. Robert Rightmyer of Delmar, who at age 20 could well be the youngest candidate ever for the Bethlehem board, urged voters to turn thumbs down on the spending plan, while Joseph Constantino of Elsmere said. he himself would not vote for it.
Robert Ruslander, who is seeking his third term on the
board and is the only incumbent among the eight, said he supports the proposed budget "in totaL" William Tinney of Delmar, who along with Rightmyer is-challenging Ruslander, skipped a yes or no on the 1985-86 spending plan, "I don't have a quick fix," he said, "but we do have to do something to stem these continual increases. You can't do it with a broad ax. You do it from the inside, in the process of making a budget. It's a very complic3ted proposition."
Charles Reeves, also of Delmar and one of the five candidates for the vacant seat that was held •by the late John H. Clyne, declared, "We should be looking at what

Too busy for Mother's Day Sunday lots of mothers will be having
breakfast in bed and opening cute cards from the kids. But for one Delmar mother Sunday will be a day to "just crash." Mary E. Longabaugh of Haskell PL isn't expecting bouquets - she's expecting to be cleaning up after a party for somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 guests.
For Mrs. Longabaugh, Mother's Day this year is being eclipsed by a combined late New Year's Day gala and a party to celebrate her graduation from The College of Saint Rose with a bachelor's degree in business, magna cum laude. Assistant to the dean of students at Saint Rose, Mrs. Longabaugh also is on the committee that concocted the events for senior week, this week. Monday the Longabaughs went white-water rafting on North Creek in the Adirondacks. This was to be followed by camping and a cruise at Lake George a!ld dinner and dancing Friday evening. "It's fun to be married to a college senior," her husband Robert said Monday.
Mrs. Longabaugh's college education, however, started some 34 years ago when she entered Colby Junior College in New Hampshire. After that, armed with an associate's degree, Mrs. Longabaugh worked while Robert' got his master's degree. Then their two children were born and there were the years as chief cook and bottle washer, as an assistant Girl Scout troop leader and as treasurer of the Heldeberg Workshop, along with service that earned Mrs. Longabaugh a lifetime honorary membership in the now-closed Delmar School PTA. Then Mrs, Longabaugh worked while the children went to college.
Now their daughter, Aldebran (who is named

Doing just a bit of spring cleaning, Carl Strom of Kenwood Ave. takes a hefty swing at what's left of an old, old maple in his front yard. How old? Well, the rings were hard to count, but what's left should keep his fireplace warm and crackling through many a cold night.

Voorheesville plans 'safe spring' for kids By Lyn Stapf
Since its entry into the high school experience, the prom has always been a night for fun and revelry, but unfortunately sometimes followed by tragedy. This year, however, in Voorheesville those who want to .. dance all night" will get a chance to do so in safety and hopefully will find a brighter morning-after, due to the year-long planning of the New Scotland Substance Abuse Task Force.
Begun as an offshoot of a series of non-alcoholic house parties hosted last year by parents who encouraged their chilGren to return to their neighborhoods after the prom, this year's Safe Spring Program will attempt to draw a larger crowd to a fun-filled evening of food and entertainment to be held at the fire house after the prom at the Turf Inn on May II. Beginning at 12:30 a.m., area teens will be treated to hours of music coordinated by disc jo:::key Tom O'Brien from station WFL Y, who will spin records between I and 4 a.m. while students socialize and munch on snacks. Those who crave heartier fare may enjoy a pancake breakfast served by the Kiwanis Club of New Scotland from 2 a.m. on -all "for free."
According to task force chairman Phil Joyce, the program was
begun in hopes of keeping latenight celebrations close to home. "Not that we're so much afraid of what our kids might do, as what might happen to them because of others," Joyce said, referring to the number of accidents caused by others which claimed the-lives of or seriously injured several area teens in the last decade.
Although other similar, successful programs have been run in the area, the task force did not pattern their project after any others.
"We started with what we had available in our area," said pro-ject chairman Bill Hotaling. ··we__..._ worked from there - getting a good amount of input from the junior class prom committee as to what they did and didn't want."
For the most part the students were pleased with what was offered. They had only one request - keep parents to a minimum. The task force agreed, feeling the program might not get off the ground if students anticipated their parents looking over their shoulders, so the skeleton chaperone crew will consist mainly of firemen, Kiwanians and other volunteers who have· no prom-age children.
Not to exclude those parents w~o are eager to assist with this

Among Mrs. Longabaugh's achievements at The College of Saint Rose are her membership in the National Scholastic Honor Society Delta Epsilon Sigma and the National Catholic College Graduate Honor Society Kappa Gamma Pi. She also was elected to Who s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, and received a certificate of recognition for outstanding sch_ol<irship in the business and economics division at the college.

our return is on our investment. Are we getting the best for our tax dollar? I promise a better product."
Steven Schron of Slingerlands, who teaches in Troy and who has presented himself as. "knowing. education from the inside," took issue with those "who attack the budget to attract votes." And Jed Wolkenbreit of De-lmar, who served on the.board from 1981 to 1984, observed that some 80 percent of a school district's budget is set by state mandates.
When the panel was asked about specific cuts, Rightmyer proposed eliminating $87,000 for computer-aided instruction ~ I don't think elementary students need computers," he said. He also said the totals for the principals' and supervisors' offices should be trimmed, and that a car used by the transportation department supervisor and his assistant should be eliminated. A district official said later the vehicle is used for such purposes as Checking conditiops on outlying roads during winter storms and for trips to pick up parts, rather than use a bus or the district's van. A vehicle has been provided for such purposes for well over a decade, he added.
Reeves, responding to the question about specific cuts, declared, "I can find half a million dollars in (the budget) in five minutes." However, he offered only one sugges-
• •
tion: a large cut from the $10 million instruction section of the
_budget .. to allow for attrition."
Constantino was the most outspoken on this question, declaring, .. Teachers will have to take a shear in benefits and the pension system. Somebody's going to have to bite the bullet. We have to live within the constraints of what we can afford, without injuring the senior fix~d-inc.ome person."
Timothy Fitzgerald of Elm Estates, wh_o is seeking the same seat, classified himself as a ''proponent of cost containment" while acknowledging that .. it gets very difficult to make these decisions. It's going to take a long time and the results may not be what we expect." Schron, joking that the money spent on campaign advertisements could be thrown into the budget for "a simple solution,". went on in a seriOus vein: .. Talk about cutting people hurts the system." And this, in turn. diminishes real estate values, he said.
In response to a question from another Observer, the quality of education in Bethlehem came under fire from both Constantino and Reeves. Reeves declared, "This system and the board .. -don't have a strong image in this community. Quality will come when the community has respect for the system, and I don't think it is there yet." Constantino was more specific: "I've felt forever that the classroom in BC paid attention to two groups - ihe
young~ters shining with brilliance and the youngster with a handicap."
Ruslander countered that the staff .. suffers from unwarranted criticism," and Wolkenbreit said, .. What goes on here is at least as good as, if not better than" the education proyided in other area schools.
None among the eight hopefuls agreed with the supposition from one observer that the present board is a .. rubber stamp" for the administration. Ruslander suggested that the question "put it backwards. The superintendent is a reflection of what the board wants for the community. If anything, the superintendent is a rubber stamp for the board," he said.
Fitzgerald commented, "The board spends a lot of t·ime setting out his job for him. Maybe they should spend more time reviewing what he .does." Wolkenbreit said the school board and administration should operate as partners"it's not necessary there be an adversary role'." Schron and Rightmyer both said they doubted the board is a rubber stamp, while Reeves said, ·~Try Tinney and me."
Constantino used the question as an opportunity to repeat his assertion that the bOard "looks down its nose" at the community. "Communication is not completed until b-oth sides understand what each side means. You," he said to Ruslander, "seem to have the attitude that the board sees everything correctly and the community doesn't quit~ •. .get it.

Board members react The Bethlehem Democratic Committee
By Caroline Terenzini
With today's Bethlehem Central budget vote and school board election very much in mind, the fairness of election eve statements dominated last Wednesday's school board meeting.
Three board members waited until the end of the meeting to-give their responses to criticism of the quality of education in the district that have appeared in letters to The Spotlight and in statements made the night before at a candidates forum.
in the district's transporting students at cost to a private afterschool program, but not transpofting elementary pupils who must walk a half-mile to school along busy streets, a board member agreed. But Roger Fritts, attorney for the district, responded, "the voterS have to authorize that shorter distance. The law doesn't allow us to do what you want us to do."
A proposition is before school district voters today that, if approved, would authorize busing for all elementary children. Now elementary students within a half-mile of their school must walk,

The.district is reimbursed by School's Out at the rate of 70 cents a mile for any distance traveled beyond the normal bus route.
In other business, the board:
• Voted to a ward a contract to purchase two 81-passenger buses to Matthews Buses, Inc., of Danville, N.Y., if a bus purchase proposition is approved. The lower of two bidders, Matthews is a representative for the Thomas bus company. When the board reached that agenda item, school superintendent Lawrence A. Zinn took the opportunity to state that the d.istrict had no prior knowledge of a full-page ad by Thomas that appeared in the May I Spotlight. Franz Zwicklbauer, assistant superintendent for business, said as far as he knows _only three bus companies manufacture 81-passenger vehicles.
• Unanimously approved a new three-year- contract with the district's approximately 180 noninstructional employees. that provides for pay raises of 6.5 percent in the first two years and 6 percent the third year. The previous contract expired June 30, 1984. -
• Heard from mathematics Supervisor Phil Gibbons that ,a Bethlehem seventh grade team had taken first place among 50 I schools competing in a recent New York State Math League competition. Jeff Ballou, a member of the winning team, achieved the highest score among 2,505 competitors, Gibbons said. Bethlehem's eighth grade team was first in the region and 31st among 511 teams statewide. •

Bethlehem politicos eye fall races By Tom McPheeters
It is, apparently, nothing more than coincidence that the Bethlehem Democrats are having their annual Jackson Day dinner on the same day as the .. Citizen's Salute to · Hendrick" will take place.
Both events this coming Monday are fund raisers. But at this point it doesn't appear that Republican J. Robert Hendrick, who has been Bethlehem supervisor now for just over three months, needs to ·worry about raising funds on his own. And it's just as uncertain that any funds the Democrats raise will be used to unseat him.
The Hendrick reception, a cocktail affair at the Fiesta Restaurant, was scheduled back when there was a good chance that Hendrick would face a September primary challenge· from county Legislator W. Gordon Morris, who was passed over by the town GOP committee when Tom Corrigan resigned as supervisor in January. Although party leaders supported Hendrick, GOP funds· could not have been used by either candidate had there been a pnmary.
But Morris decided a primary would be "divisive·" and declared two weeks ago that he would not run. The committee subsequently nominated Hendrick for a full two-year term.
Hendrick said Friday that
POLITICS
proceeds from the reception Will
be used for the fall election. What sort of a campaign it will
be is still very much up in th~ air. Part of the answer, said new Democratic chairman William Burkhard, weill come Monflay when he sees what sort oftunrout the Democrats get at their Jackson Day dihner at the Century House in Latham. ·Laurence J. Kirwan, chairman of the state Democratic Committee, is the speaker and the local party needs. a large turnout in order to finance a credible campaign this fall.
Money is not the whole story, however. Over the past several years the Bethlehem Democrats have been gaining in party enrollment but declining in active· participation. 'This year, Burkhard said last fall when he took over, would be a rebuilding year, with the major emphasis on recruiting new committeemen and campaign workers.
"Do you go for the bulls eye or do you go full bore?" Burkhard asked last week. Senti'ment on the committee is divided on the wisdom of fielding a full slate -two tO\YO board seats plus town cler~ and highway superintendent are also up- orconcentrating.oil the supervisor's race, he said last
week.
''We're searching now for a superVisor candidate of quality," he said.
In the past, the Democrats have said their field of choice for supervisor has been· limited by the fact that the job is full time, necessitating a potential career change for younger candidates. Both Hendrick and Corrigan were retired and had several years of experience on the town board when they became supervisor. No Democrat has ever been elected to local office in Bethlehem.

Apartment access plan splits board . For Complete Composition and Printing
. cSieW§gr:phics ·
By Theresa Bobear
Members of the Bethlehem Planning Board appear . to be evenly split on the merits of an access plan for three apartment buildings to be constructed on Cherry Ave. - a split that appears to reflect thinking within the administration.
John Williamson, chairman of the planning board, said he called the special meeting last Tuesday to consider a discrepancy between the site plan map and the subdivision map submitted for Franz Zwicklbauer's proposed three-lot subdivision on Cherry Ave. across from Dawson Rd.
The subdivision· map for the plan outlined three separate lots with frontages on Cherry Ave. and part of the land opposite from Dawson Rd. marked reserved for future development. The informal site plan map showed a single paved entrance to the parcel directly opposite Dawson Rd. The chairman said he could not resubmit the proposal to the Albany CouO.ty Planning Roard because the site plan did not agree with the subdivision plan.
The board discussed Zwick!-

bauer's plan to build three fourunit buildings in the ASResidential zone. Unable to make a decision on the proposal, the board decided to submit a revised map and explanation of the plan to the Aibany County Planning Board foi- reconsideration.
Previously, the county planners reviewed the subdivision map for the plan and objected to the proposal, stating that the three contiguous frontages on_.JCherry Ave. would create a potential traffic problem.
Four-unjt apartment buildings are permitted by the zoning ordinance. in an AS-Residential zone. Lindsay Bou.telle, engineer representing Zwicklbauer, said
·that only one road to the buildings would be constructed with cross easements for the three lots of the subdivision.
Board member William Johnston said the builder should construct a public road up to town specifications ... I think it's a good place for apartment houses; but, it's a very poor concept of planning," said Johnston.
Williamson reported that Public Works Commissioner Bruce Secor recommended a culde-sac for the the parcel and that Highway Superintendent Martin
Crash hurts driver
Cross objected to the proposal because the town would end up taking over a substandar~ road.
Boutelle said only two buildings could be constructed with a through street and only one building could be constructed with a cul-de-sac.
"The problems usually surface after 25 to 30 years," said town planning consultant Alvah Worth.
Building inspector John Flanigan said the proposal conformed with the requirements of the town's zoning code ... You can approve the plan and override Albany County, "said Flanigan.
'"They meet thC conditions of the subdivision," said board member John LaForte. "On what basis would you reject it?"
·~If you need a reason for denying, John, I think it's poor planning," said Johnston.
Williamson said the town had 'no assurances that three driveways would not be constructed in the future.
William-son asked board member Marcia Nelson if she wanted to make a motion to deny approval of the plan. Nelson made a motion to accept a modified plan with a dedicated town road. The motion was .seconded by Johnston. The vote was 3 to 3, with board members Williamson, Johnston and Nelson in favor, and board members Warren Kullman, Laforte and Moylan opposing.

Flea market relocates
Glenn S. Vadney
Spotlight has new ad manager
GlennS. Vadney of Feura Bush h~s been promoted to advertising manager of The Spotlight. according to Publisher Richard A. Ahlstrom.
Vadney has been an advertising representative of the weekly newspaper serving Bethlehem and New Scotland since November, 1983. He succeeds James Vogel, who has resigned.
"We're delighted that Glenn is able to step in to 'continue The Spotlight"s tradition of personal service to our advertising custdmers," Ahlstrom said.
Vadney is a graduate of Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk High School and has an associates degree from Hudson Valley Community College and a B.S. in business administration from Husson College in Bangor, Maine. Prior to ·coming to The Spotlight he was employed as a sales . representative with Brad Cable Electronics in Schenectady and the A. C. Nielsen Company in Florida.
The giant indoor Flea Market,. formerly located in the East Greenbush Plaza, has moved to· the Towne Squire Shopping Plaza, RL 9W and Feura Bush Rd., Glenmont.
Approximately 40 dealers are offering everything· from new discount items to antique jewelry and furniture. "We're very happy with the area," says owner Jean Gold man, a graduate of Bethlehem Central High School.
Goldman says the flea market does not fit in with most people's idea of a flea market- the market is more permanent. Every Saturday and Sunday the market is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with many of the same dealers offering a particular types of goods. "It's like going to 40 different garage sales all in one place," said Goldman.
Most of the dealers are· local people who reserve the same table every week. Goldman said she plans to fill ·vacancies with area residents.
Antiques and collectibles, crafts, baseball cards, antique jewelry, beer trays, homemade fudge and candy, and vacuum cleaner and sewing machine repairs are only some of the goods and services offered at prices ranging from 25 cents to $200.
The Flea Market has been in existence for more than 13 years. Goldman said she thought of running a flea market aftet organizing a sucessful garage sale to help her son and other members of Boy Scout Troop 41 in East 'Greenbush raise funds for a trip to a national jamboree.
The garage sale was so popular that Goldman ran an outdoor flea market for 5 years. To continue the market through the winter, Goldman moved ·to the East

Eagle pitchers ·tind the plate By Tania Stasiuk
The magic that wasn't there when the season opened has finally appeared for Bethlehem's baseball. team, to the tune of five wins in the last six games. The Eagles now have an overall record of six wins and seven losses, and a Suburban Council record of 3 and 6.
Two weeks ago the winning streak began at Voorheesville With a doubleheader. Bethlehem won the first game, 9'8, and sopho- · more Doug Pratt pitched a shutout in the second game for a 9-0 win.
Against Bishop Maginn, Pratt pitched five shutout innings as a relief pitcher, leading BC to a 12-5 win. Senior Tom Amell's home run in that game was especially impressive as it went over the fence at Bleeker Stadium.
It was not to be- the Eagles' Kevin Roohan made it to third base in the early innings of Friday's game against ScOda, but was stranded when Paul .Stracke

the turnaround. Junior Geoff Mackey's pitching, combined with senior Scott Bonanno's single and double, helped boost the team to an I I -4 victory. Coach Ken Hodge was "pleased to note that Colonie has. defeated Burnt Hills and Shenendehowa.
The game against Scotia on Friday went down to the wire. Senior pitcher Ray Roohan held the score at 1-1 through the top of the seventh. When the Eagles came to bat, Steve Mendel and Bonanno s.ingled, and Jim Francis and Kevin Roohan walked to bring Mendel across. home plate to win for Bethlehem, 2-1.

game BC was averaging six errors per game, in the past six games only two errors have been committed. Hodge says that "we're running more, and finally making things happen on the field,"
Strength up the middle has proved important to the team's success. The combination of Francis at shortstop, Kevin Roohan as catcher, Bonanno in center and Amell at second has played well so far. Pitching, an area Hodge was unsure of at the start of the season, is now_ another of BC's strongest aspects. Ray Roohan and Mackey have shown improvement in that area,verteran southpaw Mendel has returned after a hernia operation, and Pratt has developed into one of the strongest P,itchers on the team.
Pratt· has,aiso taken fifth position in the batting order, and now leads BC in RBis for the season.
This will be a tough week for the Eagles. The team was to play Niskayuna, tied for first in their suburban Council division, on Monday. Today (Wednesday), BC travels to Shenendehowa, and Schenectady. Thursday they will meet Bishop Gib~ons in Central Park, Schenectady. On Friday BC will travel tO MohOnasen. Sat- · urday a doubleheader is scheduled at Cooperstown's Doubleday Field.

BC ends drought
A long drought in Bethlehem Central softball came to an end last week as the Eagles broke an 8-game losing streak with their first victory -of the season.
The BC ·girls unloaded four home runs and two triples in a 20-hit assault on Niskayuna pitchers, and came home with an 18-16 win that raised their record to I :.g in the Suburban Council. Earlier in the week, BC lost to Guilderland, 13-2, and Shenendehowa, 11-7.
At Niskayuna Julie Liddle belted two homers, a three-bagger and a single, Wendy Vogel had a circuit blast and two singles, . Sandi Blendell had a roundtripper and single, and Cheryl Dunston a triple and single. Lisa Tomlinson, the starting pitcher, had three singles. The Eagles scored 13 runs in the first three innings and had a 16-31ead before the Niskies threw up a scare ·with a I 0-run onslaught in the fifth inning.
Peg Jeram had the only two hits of the day in Monday's setback at home against Guilderland, but the Eagles wore their h-itting shoes· two days later in a losiftg•:.t>id· ato1 Clifton Park. To-mlinson ·was on"'o~

Too many 'big innin·gs' for Birds· By Dan Tidd
Most baseball coaches just love. that big inning, especially when their team is at bat. But for Voorheesville baseball coach Jerry Gordinier, the problem is when his team is in the field trying to stop the big inning. And once again this past weCk, Gordinier's club was done in by the proverbial big inning.
"We have been playing some good baseball this spring, but it's one bad inning that keeps us from winning," said Gordinier. "Take away those big innings and we just might be in the race."·
It looks lik~ the race is over for Voorh~esville as far as this season goes. Aft.er losing two out ofthree lastweek,the Birds dropped to 1-5 in ~olonial Council play and 2-11 ov<rralhGwdinie<)'_cl.tib started off ~he week with an impressiVe 9:.·-3 victory over Waterford.

one extra base hit in the fourth inning."
The Birds rapped out 12 hits, including doubles by Tom Wight and McNamara. But the day belonged to Vinnie Foley, who went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and 2. RBI's. "We played a solid game, the kids didn't commit any erro"rs which cost us," said Gordinie~.
Against Mechanicville, it was a big 6th inning which cost the Birds. Foley started and went all the way on the hill, but control problems started the avalanche in the 6th.
With the score deadlocked at 7-
7, the Red Raiders exploded for five .runs to put this one away. Three of those runs came across on wild pitches. "It happened so fast, it was a bolt of lightning that came out of nowhere," said Gordinier. Brian Rubin was the big stick for Voorlieesvilie on the day. He went 2 for 3, while Wight, Foley and McNamara each chipped in with doubles.
On Saturday the Birds had the pleasure of facing Academy ace pitcher Dimitri Yavis. Yavis checked the Voorheesville hitters on just five hits for the afternoon.

No. 3 Sam Lee gets big win Sinee the start of Bethlehem Cen
tral's spring 'tennis season a month ago, Sam Lee has been methodically going about his work in the Eagles' No. 3 singles slot, leaving the headlines to others, notably his younger brother, Eric, --who plays No. I singles.
Last Friday in Bethlehem's 6-1 loss at South Glens Falls, it was Sam Lee who delivered the on(y victory of the day and averted a distasteful shutout at the hands of a non-league opponent. He won by 7-5. 6'4.
"It was a really good win," said his coach, Jim Armstrong. "Sam has been playing well, but has been having a tough season. Friday he put it together. He was down by 5-2 in the first set when he started to get more aggressive and coming to the net. He won five straight games and closed out the set. It was a real turnaround, and it may be a turning point for· him." ·
. The Eagles made the trip to South Glens Falls without two ,
I TENNIS .I regulars, No. 4 Dave Cory and Loren Blasam, who is the latest occupant of the No. 6 spot in Armstrong's challenge carousel. The coaches agreed on a sevenmatch format instead of the conve;ntional nin.e. The loss, third of the week. dropped Bethlehem to 3-5 overall. 3-4 in the Gold Division of the Suburban Council.
But the Eagles still have an outside chance to make the Sectionals, where only the two top teams in each DivisiOn will represent the Suburban Council. That chance comes tomorrow (Thursday) at Guilderland, where 'BC. must beat the Dutchmen by better than 6-3. the score by which Guilderland won in Delmar last month, the first time in their history they had topped Bethlehem.
Meanwhile the Eagles continue to struggle against their traditional tennis foes. Last Monday they were swept in singles by. Shaker, winning only the first two doubles and ·gaining a forfeit in the third doubles in a 6-3 · setback. On Wednesday they had' the expected 9-0 picnic at Mohonasen, but on Thursday it was' Niskayuna again, this time on a bus trip. The locale was different, but the score was the same, 8-1 for the Niskies.
The flow was also a near duplication of the earlier encounter in Delmar, even to match scores. Once again the only Bethlehem triumph was produced ·by the neophtye tandem of Mark Woodruff, a freshman. and Neil Breslin, an eighth grader. They had to go three sets before locking up mat~h point at 4-6, 6-2. 6-2.
"We played a lot better than did the first time we faced them, said Armstrong. "The trouble was, they were stronger, too."
Blackbirds squeak by 'Burgh By Peter J. Fisch
A typical sports season is full of ups and downs, peaks and valleys, high points and low points. Last week was no exception as the Voorheesville High School tennis squad captured their first two victories of the year, while falling· victim to a pair of shutouts.
The Birds squeaked by Lansingburgh. 4-3. on Monday to get into the win column. Senior French exchange student Bertrand Romagne led the way by stepping up to the No. I spot and scoring a 6-1, 6-2 victory. In doubles, Romagne teamed with junior Paul Nichols for a 6-3, 6-2

Smith has been a pleasant surprise for veteran coach Tom Kurkjian. The ninth grader worked his way into the varsity lineup by outplaying sophomore Dan McKenna for the No. 5 position. Thus far, Smith has remainedundefeated in both singles and doubles. "He's only in ninth grade and he looks good for the future," commented K_urkjian.
Capping off the week, the Birds downed Watervliet, 5-_2. R~giste_ring singles victories · we_re- Ro- · magne .(6-1, 7-5), Nichols (6-3. 6-4), junior Dean Solomos (6-3, 6-3), and McKenna (6-2, 6-0). In doubles, Smith and Nichols cruised to an 8-3 win.
Sandwiched between the two wins were the low points as Ravena and Albany Academy each handed the Blackbirds 7-0 shutouts. "The loss to Academy was typical since they're a league powerhouse," noted Kurkjian. ''Ravena is a team of seniors that played well last year. They've played one year longer than we have. We're still playing with Underclassmen. We've only been outplayed by two teams (Academy and Ravena), the other matches have been close."

C thinclads running with Carey MOTHER'S DAY SPECIALS lly Dave DeCecco
After a rough start, the Bethehem Central girls track team has inally come alive. With sopho
orc sensation Anne Carey on the earn, opponents are finding it
ore difficult to outrun BC.
Two weeks ago at the Glovers·ille Invitational, Carey began by
winning the 100-meter·hurdles in 15.6 seconds. Later in the 400 "urdles she re-set her own meet ecord, posting a time of 64.1
·econds. The next competitor was distant five s~conds behind.
At last week's Schenectady nvitational, run under Mont leasant's lights, Carey sizzled up
he track, dusting the 400-meter 1urdle field .in. 62.0 seconds, her ersonal record. Senior Chris insworth took second in the
000, clocking a 10.38,.her best hd Season.
Two days after knocking off cotia in a dual meet, raising their ecord to 2-5, the girls competed n the Colonie Relays. The 300-leter shuttle relay of Carey, Jen
I TRACK I Engstrom and eighth grader Amy Peterson placed fourth in 55 seconds flat. Garey, Ainsworth, Tania Stasiuk and Jen Hammer combined for a win in the distance medley relay in 13:26.8.
On a summer-like day in Delmar last week, the boys team ft:ll to Ni_skayuna and Saratoga. Highlighting the meet was the return of Dave Ashe to the team, and Ashe wasted no time setting the school record in the high jump
·with a leap of 6 feet 6 inches. He then went on to win the triple jump.
Sophomore Pete Winkler paced the field in the 3200, cranking out a 10:20 and a first-place finish. Senior co-captain Paui Montanus won the 800 in 2:07 and along with Pete Nelson and Craig Isenberg, led ·a 1-4-5 IIC finish in the 1600.
At Thursday's Schenectady
Invitational Ashe took fourth in the high jump, clearing 6-2. Another respectable performance for· BC came from the 3200 relay of Montanus, Nelson, Greg Dohbert' and eighth grader Jan Berry, who banded for eighth place overall in 8:31.
On a windy Saturday at the Colonie Relays, the boys showed some respectability, especially in the distance events. The distam:c.: medley of Ashe in the 400, Dobbert in the 800, Montanus in the 1200, and Nelson in the 1600 placed second in II :40.8. The 6400 relay of .Isenberg, Montanus, Wi.nkler and Nelson took th'ird in 20:09.2. In a second place tie with Shenendehowa, the high jump relay of Ashe, Brian McGarrahan and llernie Colligan leaped a total of 17 feet 8 inches.

ving) chapter at the high school, which secured the disc jockey and will be decorating the hall the day of the prom.
Besides fostering a close-tohome experience, the Task Force is also trying to promote a nonalcoholic environment. "We want to show kids that you can have a good time without alcohol," Joyce said, adding that area adults have gotten so enthusiastic over this program that the task force may plan a non-alcoholic end-of-theyear party for adults to set a good example for the students.
Although house parties were a big hit last year, the group is hoping that the fes~ivities at the fire house will cut down on ihe number of after-prom parties, especially the ones at which parents feel compelled to serve alcohol.
As a word of warning Tow·n Judge Cynthia Lafave reminds those who are planning such get-
togethers that "people can and have been held civilly libel for damages, whether they be property damage or personal injuries, after they have provided alcohol to a person who later caused or created these injuries as a result of that person's alcohol consumption." LaFave adds that "those who serve alcohol, including beer, to anyone under the legal drinking age of 19 can be held criminally responsible for-contributing to the delinquency of a minor," citing that she has presided over such ·cases in town court.
In a special arrangement with the 0. K. Cab Company, the task force will be issuing coupons to prom-goers which they may use to obtain a ride home if they feel it is not prudent to drive home themselves or with their· date. The Cab Company, for a nominal fee to be paid by the task force, will deliver students to their homes in the Voorheesville Central School

'We must work together' Editor, The Spotlight:
I am delighted that Reynard McClusky took note of my letter in the April 24 edition. However, I would like to correct some of his perceptions. I am not an apologist for the school board, nor anyone else. I am a citizen and parent who is deeply concerned that the Bethlehem schools not be caught up in the tide of mediocrity that is plaguing so many of our nation's public schools. Mr. McClusky would have us believe that our school budget should have fallen by 15 percent during the last eight years as a result of an enrollment decrease of that size. He ignores the factors of inflation, as well as the ever-increasing state mandates and requirements· that our district has had to meet during those years.
Mr McClusky also seems to feel that the 6-6\-1 percent salary increases our staff is to receive annually under their current . contracts are too large. We simply cannot expect our teachers to continue to stay with the district if they don't receive even moderate pay increases. I wish Mr. McClusky, and others like him, would be more specific and concrete and pinpoint for us the inefficiency, waste and mismana~ement they see occurring. I fail to see how one suggestion to cut $25,000 per year qualifies as a major reorganization or as major budget cutting.
would s"uggest that a ·more constructive and fruitful approach to the dilemma of how to maintain excellence in our schools without choking the taxpayers is in lobbying county and state governments so that our tax money is returned to our community. We mtist work together to protect the most important resource we all have- our children.

During the month of May, the Bethlehem Public Library will have a display on bicycle safety done by 15 girls from Brownie Troop 579 of Slingerlands. The

The girls have done this display as part of the requirement toward their bicycle. safety patch. The display also inCludes a safety checklist poster, showing the areas where to look, and individual booklets that the girls have made. It was fun for the girls to make and they hope other people going to the library will also enjoy it.

COMMUNITY CORNER
Support the Visiting Nurses For more than 100 years the Visiting Nurses· Foundation has been caring for the sick, disabled and elderly residents of Albany County, regardless of their financial status. This month residents of the Delmar area are being asked for the first time to support this humanitarian effort by making a donation during the VNA's direct mail fund raising campaign.
In recent years home health care has _been receiving increased attention as a cost-saving alternative to hospitalization. As the health care industry faces cuts in government funding, the Visiting Nurses Foundation hopes. with community support, to continue providing care to those in need.
