Donations will make homecoming 

a reality for injured Delmar man 

By CHARLES WIFF 

wiffc@spotlightnews.com 

Lisa DeStaso-Jones doesn’t have unrealistic 

desires. She just wants her husband to come 

home. 

But just a few months ago, that seemed like a 

scant possibility. While playing rugby in February, 

Michael Jones suffered a debilitating spinal 

injury that has left the Delmar man paralyzed. 

Alleged wrongdoing 

in signature collecting would 

have little effect on election 



Sitting Bethlehem Town Court Justice 

Ryan Donovan has being accused of violating 

a code of ethics that guides the conduct of 

judicial candidates, but the matter will have 

little direct impact on the forming race for his 

offi ce. 

In fact, Donovan’s opponent was adamant 

Work is under way on an addition to the home of Lisa 

DeStaso-Jones, whose husband, Michael, was paralyzed 

during a rugby game in February. Local businesses are 

donating labor and materials to complete the addition, 

which will grant handicapped access to the Delmar home 

and fi nally allow Jones to live under the same roof as 

his young family. 

Charles Wiff/Spotlight 

Businesses raise the roof 

Besides costly medical bills, his young family 

has had to contend with the fact it would cost a 

small fortune to overhaul their home to meet his 

needs. 

“Michael had one request: ‘I want to come 

home.’ Not to Delmar, to our home” said De- 

Staso-Jones. 

Jones is nearly there. Having made advances 

far beyond what doctors originally said was possible, 

he's now living at a Delmar nursing home 

just miles from the family's 1920s bungalow. But 

the more than $150,000 price tag of the addition

that he doesn’t wish to take a swipe at the incumbent. 

“I never accused him of anything,” said 

Ralph Ambrosio, the GOP-back candidate 

in the race. “I just think the facts speak for 

themselves.” 

Donovan was instead called out by the 

Bethlehem Republican Committee. In short, 

when gathering voter signatures this summer 

so he could appear on the ballot, Donovan 

also carried the petition of Assemblyman 

Tim Gordon, I-Bethlehem. Records show 

Donovan obtained 62 signatures from Independence 

Party members.

can’t be found 



Emergency services districts in 

the Town of Bethlehem are looking 

to collaborate in creating a plan 

that would help them better work 

together in the coming years. 

The town’s fi ve fi re departments 

and two ambulance corps fi rst began 

discussing in October partnering 

to develop a fi ve- to 10-year 

development plan. At that time, the 

state’s Local Government Effi ciency 

Planning Grant Program was still 

handing out funds for such projects, 

but since then the program has run 

out of money and is unlikely to see 

more funding in the near future. 

The districts are not looking for 

funding from the town, but rather 

support in fi nding grants and also in 

framing data when the study does 

get under way, said John Lutz, who 

is on the Board of Commissioners 

of the Elsmere Fire Department, 

at a Wednesday, July 28, meeting 

of the Town Board. The funding is 

needed to bring in a consultant to 

assist with the planning. 

“We felt that it was important that 

a 5- to 10-year plan be put in place, 

and to accomplish that we felt a con-

Not much ado about judge’s petitions 

handbook for judicial candidates says this is 

improper behavior because circulating petitions 

for other candidates could be viewed as 

an endorsement. An exception is if the judicial 

candidate appears directly on a slate of 

other candidates. 

“A judicial candidate may circulate a petition 

for several candidates that includes 

his/her own name, but may not circulate individual 

petitions for other candidates,” one 

opinion from the Judicial Campaign Ethics 

Center reads. 

While Donovan and Gordon are both on 

the Democratic party’s slate of candidates,

Selkirk Fire Dept. No. 2 Fire Chief Bill Asprion was a good sport at the 54th Glenmont Fire 

Dept. No. 2 annual Firemans’ Fair, Friday, July 23, as he was drenched several times at 

the “pitch burst” at the fair. Several adults as well as kids paid $1 to throw a ball at the 

target and burst a large balloon fi lled with water over the chief’s head. 

The turnout for the three-day event was good in spite of all the rain.

RCS High gets 

new principal 

Brian Bailey makes 

the move from post 

at GHS 



Students attending the 

Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk 

High School will have a 

new principal when they 

return to school next fall. 

The RCS School District 

Board of Education has 

chosen Brian Bailey 

to step in as the new 

principal, effective Aug. 20. 

Bailey has been assistant 

principal at Guilderland 

High School for the past 

six years. 

In fact, other than a 

single year at Schalmont, 

Bailey has spent the past 

18 years in Guilderland 

schools. 

“It’s like family. It’s just 

like leaving home for the 

fi rst time,” he said of the 

move. “It’s exciting and 

it’s daunting, because I 

bring with me all of those 

things that I’ve learned. ... 

I’m going to a new place 

where they have their own 

experience and their own 

way, and I’m excited to 

learn that.” 

Bailey has his roots in 

music education, starting 

out as a choral teacher. 

Both his parents were 

teachers. 

“Growing up, music 

was something I always 

excelled at,” he said. “I 

went off to college, and 

there didn’t seem any 

better way to enjoy my art 

form and be able to share 

that with other people.” 

He said he also 

made the crossover to 

administration with the 

goal of helping people 

learn. 

“Being an administrator 

is teaching with adults. ... 

We’re all trying to grow 

and get better at what we 

do,” he said. 

“The principal interview 

committee recognized 

Brian’s skills and talents,” 

said RCS Schools 

Superintendent Daniel A. 

Teplesky in a statement. 

“He will be a great asset to 

our administrative team, 

and we look forward to 

welcoming him to the 

district as we continue 

our planning for the new

Brian Bailey will be tak- 

ing over as principal of 

the Ravena-Coeymans- 

Selkirk High School next 

year, replacing outgoing 

principal Brett Miller. Bailey 

has 17 years of experience 

in the Guilderland School 

District, including the past 

six as assistant principal at 

Guilderland High School.

school year.” 

Bailey said he’s 

most looking forward 

to working in a smaller 

school community. RCS 

High School has about 

650 students enrolled 

compared to Guilderland’s 

more than 1,900. 

“I like very much the 

idea I can have the potential 

to have a relationships 

with every student, with 

every staff member,” 

Bailey. “I think there’s a lot 

more personable quality 

to working in a school of 

that size.” 

The district has had 

relatively high turnover 

in this position. The 

current principal of the 

high school, Brett Miller, 

headed the school for just 

two years. 

Bailey said his goal will 

be to hold the job for the 

long term. 

“I want to be there, and 

I’m dedicated to doing 

that,” he said. “Growing up 

around here, having family 

members that live in the 

district ... I’ve had ties with 

Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk 

and Albany and Greene 

counties for a long, long 

time.” 

Bailey’s pursuing his 

doctorate at The Sage 

Colleges. Bailey resides 

in Voorheesville, has 

two teenage sons and is 

engaged to Kate Deane.

Delmar resident Kim 

Strosahl, pictured above, 

makes a sign to picket 

the proposed cell tower 

sites at 65 Elm Ave. on BC 

School District property 

and private land off of 

Van Dyke Road. The two 

companies looking to site 

towers at those locations, 

Independent and ESCO, 

respectively, floated test 

balloons at heights of 120 

and 150 feet on Friday and 

Saturday, July 30 and 31. 

Strosahl said she 

doesn’t approve of either 

site, saying both are too 

close to school property. 

The sites are about sixtenths 

of a mile from one 

another, near both the 

high school and Eagle 

Elementary. 

“It’s a rock and a hard 

place. Both sites are too 

close to two schools,” said 

Strosahl, who has a 7year-old 

in Slingerlands 

Elementary. “I’m not anti- 

bag. Also bring a dish to 

share with others. 

There will be family 

history records for 

researchers, games and

Strosahl, joined on 

Saturday morning by 

fellow pickets Michelle 

and Steve Donnelly who 

have two children in Eagle 

Elementary, said she’s 

concerned with effect 

towers will have on the 

community, but said her 

opposition goes beyond 

NIMBY-ism. 

“Cell towers are a 

necessity,” she said, “but 

there is nothing that 

makes it necessary to put 

them on school property 

or in residential areas.” 

Both tower applications 

are before the town’s 

planning and zoning 

boards for variances and 

environmental impact 

studies. The balloon fl oat 

test was integral to this 

process because there 

is little to distinguish the 

two sites from each other 

beyond their visual impact.

Getting charged up over a new laptop 

By ROBIN SHRAGER SUITOR 

news@spotlightnews.com 

My father and I argue about 

stupid stuff. Last month I used 

my 6-year-old cell phone to 

call him from the Town Pool 

where I was relaxing in the 

sun. We argued about laptop 

computers. I have a laptop and 

he wants one. He offered to buy 

me a new laptop and take my 

old one and make it his own. 

I felt he should buy the new 

computer for himself. 

Here’s the problem: I don’t 

want a new laptop and neither 

does he. 

I don’t want one because 

1) I don’t like change and 2) 

there’s nothing wrong with 

the laptop I have. I only use 

it to write. It doesn’t need 

a lot of bells and whistles. I 

don’t use it to connect to the 

Internet, because I don’t want 

the distraction. I start surfing 

around, then Facebook pops 

up, then e-mail beckons, then 

few words get written. 

Dad doesn’t want a brand 

new laptop because he has 

always been frugal and doesn’t 

want to spend the money on 

himself. 

“But you want to buy ME a 

new one,” I said to him, “If you 

are buying, what difference 

does it make who is using it?” 

Then I had an idea. I told 

him he could buy me the new 

machine and I would lend it to 

him. Then when I was a ready 

for a newer computer, we could 

swap. 

He almost agreed to the 

lending idea, but then he said, 

“Go get yourself a faster, lighter 

machine. That way you can 

schlep it around more easily.” 

The man is obsessed with my 

lifting and carrying anything 

more than a pound. 

“Dad, I don’t really carry 

the computer anywhere. It 

mostly stays in the house, or 

I take it out on the back deck. 

Sometimes I go to the library, 

but I’m only walking a short 

distance from my car.” 

And then it hit me: Why am 

I arguing with my 80-year-old 

father? Is it so important for 

me to hang on to my 6-yearold 

computer when he really 

wants one? Do I need to be the 

stubborn one? 

I started to sell myself on 

the idea. My laptop is heavier 

than the newer models. And a 

newer one would probably still

“And then it hit me: Why am I arguing with

fit in my current carrying case. 

I could keep the case. 

I said, “OK, Dad, I’ll look 

into ordering a new laptop.” 

He said, “Yeah, get it while the 

money is still here.” 

“Where is the money going?” 

I asked. 

“I wasn’t supposed to live 

this long,” he said, “Remember 

that doctor who said I wasn’t 

going to make it to 2005?” 

Of course I remember. I 

remember all too well. Dad 

needed a new heart valve but 

the surgeon decided my father 

was not well enough to survive 

an operation. The surgeon 

had said, “If you were my own 

father I wouldn’t operate.” 

We didn’t like that answer. 

After all, maybe that doctor 

didn’t even like his own father. 

So my parents came back 

from Florida and Dad spent 

three weeks in Albany Medical 

Center “beefing down” for 

surgery. 

That was around the time I

started carrying a cell phone. 

The same one I still carry. Only 

these days it is unable to hold a 

charge for more than an hour. 

I heard my cell phone “beep” 

and then saw the “low battery!” 

message on the display. “Dad, 

my phone battery is about to 

go,” I said, “so if we get cut off 

you’ll know why.” 

He decided I was making 

this up because he was talking 

about how he is supposed to 

be dead and how much life 

insurance he has. 

“Oh, right, you don’t like the 

topic,” he said. 

I responded, “You’re right. 

I don’t like the topic, but my 

phone battery really is about 

to die. I’ve been telling you this 

for two weeks.” 

He said, “Go buy yourself a 

new phone.” 

“Phones cost a lot if you buy 

them when your plan is not up 

for renewal.” 

While we continued talking 

I walked to the locker room so 

I could plug in the phone. I’ve 

begun carrying my charger 

wherever I go. 

“Hang on” I told my dad as I 

plugged in my charger and then 

connected it to the phone. 

“You, OK?” he asked. 

I told him, “I’m fine. I had to 

go to the locker room so I could 

plug in my phone because the 

battery was giving out.” What 

I didn’t add is, “See, I’m not 

purposely rushing you off the 

phone because of your choice

“Go pee first while you’re 

there so it shouldn’t be a total 

waste.” 

I said, “OK,” even though I 

felt like saying, “I don’t have 

to pee. I peed before I left the 

house.” But there was no need 

to argue. It’s not like he was 

going to know whether or not 

I peed. 

He laughed, “Yeah, go pee,

I know what you readers are 

thinking: You’ll gladly give my 

dad your old laptop in exchange 

for a new one. Unfortunately, 

the offer only stands for close 

relatives who are smart enough 

to accept the offer without 

hesitation. In this instance, that 

means my niece who is heading 

off to graduate school. 

“Your brother ordered a 

new computer for Leslie,” Dad 

told me a few days after our 

locker room chat, “I’m getting 

her old one.” 

I experienced a combination 

of disappointment and relief. 

Disappointment because I 

had psyched myself up for a 

new laptop. Relief because my 

old laptop AND my old dad 

continue to be part of my life. 

And I can use the former to 

write about silly arguments that 

I have with the latter.

Share and 

share alike 

Congratulations to the heads of Bethlehem’s five fire 

departments and two ambulance corps for realizing 

there are benefits to be had by working together on 

certain issues rather than adhering to the parochialism 

that is the slow demise of other town entities. 

Last October, the 

districts got together 

and decided to construct 

a 5- to 10-year Editorial 

development plan 

and explore shared 

services. 

When you think about the nature of the entities coming 

together, this is no small feat. People involved in 

emergency services are (we believe rightly so) fiercely 

proud of their positions. There is a calling for people 

in those fields — it takes a certain type of person to 

make the decision to run into a burning building or 

have the knowledge and fortitude to aid and transport 

someone who’s injured. 

Traditionally, the pride that exists in those types of 

people is accompanied with a streak of territorialism, 

especially in the upper ranks. That’s why it’s heartening 

for us at The Spotlight to learn that these individuals 

put those feelings aside, saw a need to better their 

services — and decrease the burden on taxpayers as 

well — and are coming together to make it happen. 

Unfortunately, as it seems is the case with any good 

application of government resources, the state’s Local 

Government Efficiency Planning Grant Program, 

which the agencies were hoping to use to flesh their 

plan out, has run out of money and is unlikely to see 

more funding in the near future. 

While John Lutz, a member of the Board of Commissioners 

of the Elsmere Fire Dept., said the agencies 

are prepared to spend what funds they have to see this 

to fruition and will send out a request for proposals for 

a consultant on the matter. The cost, per agency, has 

been roughly estimated at $20,000 to $30,000. 

It may seem like a lot, but we feel the long-term 

savings — not to mention the improved emergency 

services — would be worth it. 

We encourage you to show your support for the 

plan at the next Town Board meeting Wednesday, 

Aug. 11. 

In the meantime, tell us what other agencies in 

town could share services. Log on to spotlightnews.

Matters of Opinion in The Spotlight 

Publisher — John A. McIntyre Jr. 

A comparison of coasts 

By JESSICA PETT 


The writer is an editorial 

intern with The Spotlight. 

In my 22 years of life I can 

happily say I have lived on both 

coasts on this country. Living 

in Seattle, Wash., for four 

years was an experience I 

will never forget, and I hope 

to live there again at some 

point of my life. 

I didn’t always feel 

this way. I was born in 

Long Island and moved 

to Greenville soon after 

and spent the majority 

of my childhood growing up 

there. It’s a fairly small town 

so we quickly became close 

with many people. I will never 

forget the day my parents 

told me we were moving to 

Washington. I was in sixth 

grade and my reaction was, of 

course, dramatic. I immediately 

started crying and ran up to 

my room while screaming at 

my parents. Nevertheless, we 

moved and I had no problem 

making friends and adjusting 

to my new life there. 

While living in Seattle, I fell 

in love with that amazing city. 

There was always something 

to do and so many interesting 

places to go and people to see. 

Pike Place Market was one 

of my favorite places to go. 

It’s a huge open-air market 

right on the water with endless 

vendors, restaurants, music 

and shopping. Another amazing 

thing about the market is that 

it is right across from the firstever 

Starbucks, my favorite 

coffee shop. 

Although there is nothing 

quite like Pike Place in Albany, 

there are festivals and areas of 

the city that are fun. Lark Fest, 

which is outside and has many 

different vendors is fun but 

draws a totally different crowd. 

Farmers markets around the 

Capital District are about as 

close as you’re going to get to 

Pike Place, and this area does 

a good job with them. 

Seattle is also packed with

time, including Jimi Hendrix,

the middle of Seattle that pays 

tribute to many of the artists 

that come from Seattle, it’s all 

about music, and so far I haven’t 

seen anything else like it here. 

One thing the Capital District 

has that I never got the chance 

to experience in Washington is 

open-air concerts like Saratoga 

Performing Arts Center. SPAC 

is something I really love about 

this area, they bring through a 

lot of good artists, and I love 

that you can go see the ballet 

there. 

One thing people from the 

East Coast and other parts 

of the country think is that it 

constantly rains in Seattle and 

is never sunny. This is hardly 

true, and, in reality, the climate 

there is very mild. I actually 

happen to like New York’s 

weather better. The seasons 

in Washington aren’t as severe 

as they are here but that’s 

something I like here. It barely 

snows anywhere there besides 

the mountains so school closes 

if they get flurries. 

One popular festival here in 

the Capital District is Albany’s 

Tulip Festival. This looks tiny 

compared to Washington’s tulip 

festival, which is a huge deal 

and has miles of tulips. Another 

plus to living in Washington 

for me – tulips are my favorite 

flowers. The festival takes place 

in Washington’s Skagit Valley 

in April. Tulips, irises and

daffodils cover fields all over 

the area, and if you’re ever in 

Washington in April definitely 

make the trip to see it. If not, 

luckily Albany has one as well. 

One thing I did not like 

about living there were the 

earthquakes. When I lived 

there, the area experienced 

a 6.8 magnitude earthquake 

that was terrifying and 

exciting at the same 

time. Here in New York 

we rarely have to worry 

about earthquakes, which 

is definitely a plus. Along 

with the earthquakes in 

Washington comes Mt. 

Rainier, an active volcano, which 

scientists consider “episodically 

active” – meaning it is not active 

right now but could erupt 

again in the future. Around Mt. 

Rainier is a national park where 

people can hike, camp, picnic 

and do other activities. It is 

part of the Cascade Mountain 

Range, which also includes four 

other volcanoes. 

Although New York doesn’t 

have a mountain range of 

volcanoes, it does have the 

Catskills and the Adirondacks. 

These mountain ranges offer 

many hiking trails and camping 

and are as beautiful as the 

Cascades. During the summer, 

there are camps for kids to 

attend in the Adirondacks, 

fishing and scenic spots. 

Again, I’d have to say I am 

more interested in the Cascade 

Mountain Range than the 

mountains we have here, but 

they still are remarkable. 

Both Seattle and the Capital 

District have things that make 

them unique and fun places 

to live. However, after living 

in both areas, I have come to 

the conclusion that for me, 

Seattle is where I would rather 

live when I’m older. It’s such 

an interesting city – unlike 

any other one I have been to. 

There is always something to 

do, and if you ever have the 

chance to visit I would highly 

recommend it.

Your Opinion in The Spotlight 

Communities not lining up to raise 

property values with cell towers 

Editor, The Spotlight: 

The July 28 Spotlight coverage of 

the cell tower location issue left out 

several important considerations 

(Town consultant: Sprint has not 

shown need, page 3). 

The information presented at the 

July 21 Zoning Board meeting left 

the impression that the application 

for variance was the first step, 

to obtain approval for a location 

with defi nite intent to expand the 

installation. 

A variance from regulations must 

be based on a need that overcomes 

the imposition to the community. 

Analysis of the materials submitted 

in support of the request showed 

gaps in area coverage by Sprint 

based on formula calculations, 

which according to the board’s 

engineer are not supported by fi eld

tests and would not be remedied 

by the proposed tower. The later 

height and transmitter additions 

referenced in the application were 

also questionable in improving gaps 

in area coverage. Data addressing 

such area gaps may show a need of a 

particular provider but not an actual 

need for the community because it 

does not demonstrate call volume, 

density or dropped calls within those 

gaps, which reflect real service 

necessities. 

Consequently, that raises the 

value of the aesthetics imposed 

on the community. The towers 

are highly visible structures that 

change the appearance of the 

neighborhood. Communities have 

not been anxiously competing for 

towers to improve their property 

values.

Parents accountable 

for childrens’ pranks? 

Editor, The Spotlight: 

Regarding the recent 

prankster’s “ding dong 

ditch,” it seems to me 

that everyone has a 

right to protect his/her 

property, and even if the 

teen involved cannot be 

prosecuted, perhaps his 

parents should be…a little 

community service, like 

cutting the aggrieved’s 

lawn for each prank? 

When I fi rst moved into 

Delmar, my house was hit 

with eggs, on the driveway, 

the porch and my car, 

and a few years ago, one 

of the affl uent neighbor’s 

children took a baseball 

bat to my mailbox. 

Perhaps if their parent’s 

were held accountable 

to clean up or make 

restitution, it would thwart 

these teens over active 

pranksterisms. 

Perhaps?

Local teens head to Maccabi Games 

Four-day event a celebration 

of sports, service and 

heritage for Jewish youth 

BY MALLORY BULMAN 


In the competitive world of 

sports today, it’s easy to get caught 

up in medals, championships and 

tournaments. However, the 17 Capital 

District teens traveling to Richmond, 

Va., to compete in the annual Maccabi 

Games will focus on community 

service and celebrating culture. 

The competition, for Jewish 

athletes ages 13 to 16, combines 

sports with community volunteering 

and cultural exposure. With 

competitors from all over the United 

States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, 

Israel and South America, the 

athletes get the chance to “build 

a relationship with teens from 

other places,” said delegation head 

Andrew Katz. 

Athletes are able to apply for 

selection at the February open house 

and are judged on athletic ability and 

community service experience. 

The athletes picked departed for 

Virginia on Sunday, Aug. 1, and will 

stay with volunteer host families in 

the area. Upon arrival, the teens will 

take part in Opening Ceremonies 

at the University of Richmond to 

celebrate the beginning of four days 

of competition. 

Not only will the athletes compete 

throughout their time in Richmond, 

but they will participate in the “Days 

of Caring and Sharing” program, 

where the teens will work with local 

children from nearby YMCAs and 

Boys and Girls Clubs. The athletes 

will help the children with art 

projects, fi eld games and relays. 

“It’s more of a giving back type of 

project,” said Katz. 

The Maccabi Games offers a 

multi-faceted experience, as athletes 

get the chance to compete in their 

specific sport, make connections 

with teens from all around the world, 

as well as learn and celebrate Jewish 

culture. 

“I think that it’s going to be 

interesting. … I think [the community 

service] is a good aspect. … We’ll 

be getting into the community of 

Richmond and working together 

as a team,” said Sarah Fielman, 15, 

a swimmer from Selkirk who will 

compete in the games. The aquatic 

director of the JCC encouraged 

Fielman to apply for a chance to 

swim in the Maccabi Games. 

“It sparked an interest with me,” 

she said. 

Fielman said she was interested in 

taking part in an activity that would help 

her learn about not only her culture, but 

others’ as well. Being a part of a sporting 

event that also embraces Judaism is 

intriguing to her. 

“I’m really excited. I’ve never 

done anything like this,” Fielman 

said. 

Another swimmer, 14-year- 


old Samantha Ebersold from 

Slingerlands, said she “instantly 

became interested” in participating 

in the Maccabi Games after hearing 

her cousin talk about his experience 

playing baseball in the Westchester 

Maccabi Games of 2009. 

“To me, the most exciting part 

of going to Richmond is getting to 

go and do the thing I love the most, 

while getting to meet others who 

have the same interests as me and 

who are Jewish,” she said. 

Ebersold said she feels a “nervous 

excitement” to meet her host family, 

one of the many Richmond families 

that will house the athletes during 

their six-day stay. 

“I think it will be nice to have 

[Judaism] in common with 

everybody there,” she said. 

Adam Chaskin, assistant coach 

for Siena men’s basketball, has been 

involved with the Maccabi Games 

since 1988. Chaskin said he comes 

back every year because he thinks 

it’s a “terrific organization and a 

terrifi c experience.” 

Chaskin fi rst got involved with the 

local JCC while living in Washington, 

D.C. He has coached all around the 

world, including coaching the US 

National Basketball Team in Israel. 

He said for a lot of kids, who might 

be part of the only Jewish families 

in their communities, it’s great to 

connect with other people who 

share their heritage and identity. 

Chaskin will lead the Albany- 

Schenectady delegation’s soccer 

team in Richmond this year.

Blackhawk training exercise draws attention 

Army National Guard 

prepares to fi ght 

wildfi res 

By ANDREW BEAM 

beam@spotlightnews.com 

Residents in Latham all 

the way up to Schuylerville 

may have noticed a 

Blackhawk helicopter 

fl ying overhead, but there 

is no need to worry; it was 

just a test. 

The New York Army 

National Guard’s Latham 

Unit Company A, 3rd 

Battalion 142nd Aviation 

conducted water bucket 

training on Wednesday, 

July 28, at the Garnsey 

Airport, a public airport 

just south of the village of 

Schuylerville and on the 

west side of the Hudson 

River. The company was 

preparing to fi ght possible 

wildfires in New York or 

other states if its services 

are needed. 

A UH-60 Lima Blackhawk 

helicopter was carrying what 

was referred to as a Bambi 

Bucket to pick up water 

from the Hudson River and 

carry it to an island, just 

south of the pickup point, 

where it would dump the 

water back into the river. The 

bucket can carry up to 660 

gallons, or 5,405 pounds, 

of water, according to Lt. 

Col. Paul Fanning, the 

National Guard’s public 

affairs offi cer. 

“They can carry troops 

and they can carry lots 

of supplies. We call them 

sling load operations 

whenever the aircraft is 

going to be used to carry 

heavy objects,” he said. “In

a combat zone, it can be 

used to carry an artillery 

piece, a humvee and it 

could be used to evacuate 

casualties.” 

With all that weight, 

the pilot of the helicopter, 

Chief Warrant Offi cer Jim 

McCauley, said there are 

certain precautions the 

crew has to take when 

carrying such heavy cargo. 

The most the aircraft can 

carry, as labeled on the 

hook, is 9,000 pounds. 

“It does get a little 

sluggish, you just have to 

be careful and think about 

everything you’re doing,” 

McCauley said. “To [carry 

9,000 pounds], we’d have 

to be stripped out and light 

Time for a change? 

on gas. That would be the 

maximum.” 

Fanning described a 

situation where the unit 

assisted the town of Delmar 

during a mudslide in 2000. 

The aircraft was used to 

airlift a drill rig into position 

to drill deep into the ground 

to collect soil samples 

and help in planning in 

rebuilding the area washed 

out by the mudslide. 

“They had to do the lift 

in two pieces because the 

drill was so heavy and so 

complex,” he said. “The 

next piece was fl own over 

and they literally hovered 

so the second component 

could be carefully placed 

where it needed to be

placed, right on top of the 

base of the drill rig. Only 

the Guard could do that 

because we’re the only 

ones with that aircraft and 

the crews trained to do that 

kind of stuff.” 

Not only does the 

Latham unit assist locally, 

Fanning said it helped in 

the Hurricane Katrina and 

Rita efforts, transporting 

people who needed to be 

medically evacuated as well 

as bringing relief supplies 

such as water and food to 

areas that were not receiving 

it quickly enough. 

For Wednesday’s 

training, McCauley said 

members were briefed on 

how to release the water 

in the bucket, how to drop 

the bucket in case of an 

emergency, how to test

limitations were. 

“You get on the computer 

and you figure out the 

power margins with the 

load and without the load,” 

he said, adding they also 

test how much wind will be 

a problem.” 

The training attracted 

some attention from local 

residents who came out to 

watch. 

“This is phenomenal,” 

said Joanna Valente, 67, 

who said if it weren’t for her 

age she’d be up there with 

the unit. “I’m so happy I got 

to see it.” 

Valente has a grandson 

in the Air National Guard, 

Charles Lane, who does 

mechanical work on 

some of the aircraft. He is 

scheduled to be deployed 

to Afghanistan in 2012. 

“He’s the one who really 

got me hooked,” she said of 

the military aircraft. “I love 

airplanes, the big stealth 

bombers, Blackhawks. I 

love ’em.” 

Susan Garnsey, who 

lives in the house directly 

next to where the training 

was taking place, said the 

sound of the helicopter 

doesn’t bother her at all. 

“It’s kind of neat,” she 

said. “I don’t find it any 

inconvenience.”

New trustees begin terms 

Our two new trustees 

began their tenure on the 

library board last month. 

Elected in May, each will 

serve a fi ve-year term. 

Jeremy Martelle is 

a nine-year resident of 

Bethlehem. He works for 

the Louis Berger Group, 

an engineering planning 

fi rm in Albany. An activeduty 

Air Force veteran, 

he is a member of the 

Schenectady Air National 

Guard. He has held 

numerous aviation-related 

posts and also serves on 

the board of directors for 

School’s Out, Inc. 

Jeremy hopes to lend 

a different perspective 

on how the library can 

reduce operating costs 

while maintaining current 

services: “My vision is 

to continue the library’s 

commendable record of 

service to the Bethlehem 

community, while striving 

to improve service quality 

and…reduce the cost of 

operations.”

John believes a public 

library best serves 

its community as its 

intellectual and cultural 

heart: “Libraries are 

repositories not just of 

information, but also 

of wisdom, culture and 

community. I would like 

to see the library become 

a place where a family can 

spend the whole day.” 

We welcome Jeremy 

and John to the library 

board and look forward 

to their contributions and 

insights.

Front half of library reopens 

The front half of the library is 

open. That includes the Circulation 

Desk, New Books, audio books, Large 

Print Books, picture books and Early 

Readers, movies and music CDs, as 

well as interlibrary loan, computers, 

copier, and fax services. We’ve moved 

some children’s fi ction up front, also. 

We’re packing the 

rest of the collection 

because we plan to 

move most of our 

services to a smaller 

temporary location 

in the village in a few weeks. Some 

adult fiction in addition to the new 

books will move to our temporary hub. 

The rest will be in accessible storage, 

which means you will have to request 

specifi c books rather than browse the 

collection. 

Story times will stay in the library 

annex on the fi rst fl oor of the Village 

Hall. As soon as we move out of the 

main room, the village crew will begin 

work on a new fl oor. No fi nal decision 

for temporary quarters has been made, 

but we expect to be in them for about 

two months.

Delmar man’s debut novel hits shelves 

‘Stash’ examines 

affl uent suburbia 

and its denizens’ 

hidden trials 



“Suburbia” is a loaded word, one 

that calls forward white picket fences, 

happy families and content spouses. But 

just like in any other part of the world, 

those who live in well-to-do communities 

struggle with themselves and others. 

That’s what author and Delmar 

resident David Klein is exploring in his 

fi rst novel, “Stash,” which hit shelves 

last week. 

It takes place in a subdued suburban 

community in upstate New York and 

follows Gwen Raine, a stay-at-home mom 

with a perfect life who fi nds herself in 

hot water when cops fi nd a small bag of 

marijuana in her car after an accident. 

“She’s constantly getting herself in a 

little bit deeper because she's constantly 

having to make these choices,” Klein 

said. “It just kind of spirals a little bit for 

her, getting more and more deeper into 

this confl ict.” 

Gwen’s husband, Brian, has his own 

issues with drugs, as he works at a 

pharmaceutical company that wants to 

market its antidepressant as a weight loss 

drug, to the government’s chagrin. And 

the couple's daughter is involved with a 

soldier addicted to painkillers. 

While it might sound like “Stash” 

revolves around drugs, that’s not the 

case, said Klein. It’s more about the 

characters’relationships with one another, 

told from multiple perspectives. 

SHOP LOCALLY

David Klein is celebrating the release 

of his fi rst novel: “Stash,” which went 

on sale Tuesday, July 27. 

Charles Wiff/Spotlight 

“I think of drugs as less of a theme and 

more of a setting,” Klein said. “I really 

didn’t try to do any moralizing or judging 

about drugs. I’m trying to put characters 

into moral dilemmas and having them 

work out one way or another.” 

Seeing the two worlds of carefree 

suburbia and a more deviant drug 

scene collide also pushed the novel 

forward. Critics have been kind so far, 

characterizing the book as a summer 

page-turner that still has substance. 

Klein has been writing for years, 

longer than the 15 he’s called Delmar 

home. He’s penned short stories that 

have been published in literary journals, 

as well as more technical writing and 

newspaper work. He also runs Klein 

Marketing as his “day job.” 

Although “Stash” isn’t his fi rst novel, it 

is the fi rst one to be released. The 365-page 

book took about two years to write, but it took 

an additional year to get it to shelves. 

“I’ve always kind of written what I 

wanted,” he said. “With ‘Stash,’ I maybe 

wrote a little more with an audience in 

mind ... and I got a lot of interest when I 

started sending it around.” 

He doesn't think that has cheapened the 

experience or his vision, though, which is 

always a danger when an author writes to 

the marketplace and not his audience. 

“I think I fall somewhere in between, 

where I want to write what I want to write, 

but I also have an eye to the audience,” 

Klein said. 

You can read more about “Stash,” 

including the fi rst chapter of the book, 

by visiting www.bydavidklein.com. The 

book is available as an eBook, from 

online retailers like Amazon.com and at 

brick-and-mortar stores. The paperback’s 

list price is $14.99.

the house needs was 

beyond what even a second 

mortgage could cover. 

But there is hope in 

sight for the Jones family. 

Work is already under 

way on an addition to their 

home that will include 

all the elements Michael 

needs, made possible by 

the generosity of local 

businesses. 

Heading up the project 

is Keystone Builders of 

Delmar. When owner 

Steve Bolduc heard of 

plans to build the addition, 

he didn't hesitate to 

extend the services of his 

company gratis. 

“It's just something I felt 

compelled to do,” Bolduc 

said. “This community has 

been good to me ... and it's 

nice to be able to give back 

a little bit here.” 

Katrina Bolen, 

neighbor to the Jones 

family, began trying to 

put together an effort 

to build the addition 

after estimates for the 

structure came back. It 

didn't take long for her to 

fi nd companies willing to 

donate supplies and labor 

at-cost or for free. 

“It was very quick,” 

she said of the response. 

“Some people were on 

board with just a phone 

call.” 

Since starting on July 

�� 

�� 

1, Keystone has already 

handled the excavation 

and foundation work, put 

up a frame and started 

roofing. Lumber has 

been donated by Curtis 

Lumber and 84 Lumber, 

concrete by Clemente 

Latham Concrete and 

Bonded Concrete. 

Andersen Windows and 

Pella Windows and Doors 

have made donations, 

and Barrier Free Systems 

supplied the equipment 

to make the home 

handicapped accessible 

at no cost. 

There are numerous 

other donors who made 

contributions big and small 

to the addition, which is 

slowly taking shape. 

Even the neighbors 

are helping by letting 

vehicles onto their 

property when needed, 

said Bolduc. 

“A lot of people are 

stepping up to the plate 

here and doing whatever 

they can,” he said. 

When finished, the 

home will have an addition 

with a handicap-accessible 

bedroom, washroom and 

sitting room, as well as 

an accessible deck and 

covered car port. The 

kitchen will also be 

modified so Jones' 

wheelchair can move 

through it. 

It's hard to put a fi nish 

date on the home, in 

part because not all the 

needed parts are lined 

Aug 10-15 

up yet. Bolen said she's 

still trying to find an 

appropriate heating 

and cooling system that 

Jones needs because 

his body can no longer 

properly regulate its 

temperature. 

Jones has been in the 

hospital or nursing home 

ever since his injury, 

which occurred in Florida. 

DeStaso-Jones spent 

months traveling to a New 

Jersey hospital with her 2year-old 

daughter, Liliana. 

She's hoping to return 

to her job as a Colonie 

teacher soon. 

While their lives have 

been changed forever, 

what has made it possible to 

continue forward has been 

her husband’s strength 

and the generosity of 

friends, neighbors and 

strangers, DeStaso-Jones 

said. 

“I did not expect nearly 

as much as the kind of 

support we're receiving,” 

she said. “We're so 

grateful.” 

Anyone interested in 

making a donation to the 

home renovations cause 

can contact Bolen at 

330-1703. Contributions 

may also be made to the

sultant was necessary,” 

he said. 

Among the topics 

the departments would 

coordinate on are future 

equipment purchases, 

standardizing operating 

procedures and training 

and seeking out cost 

savings. The departments 

would coordinate with 

the town through the 

supervisor’s offi ce. 

Supervisor Sam 

Messina said this is the 

first he knows of such 

collaboration between the 

town’s emergency service

Other communities that

companies have conducted 

emergency services studies, 

including the Town of 

Malta, where companies are 

preparing for the opening 

of a GlobalFoundries

Other members of the 

Town Board said they 

liked the idea of creating

“I think it’s a great,

Hennessey. 

A request for proposals 

could be sent out to 

qualified consultants 

within two or three weeks, 

said Lutz. Until those 

quotes come back it’s 

impossible to say exactly 

how much a study would 

cost, but he estimated 

it could cost $20,000 to 

$30,000 per department. 

And if there isn’t any 

other source of funding, 

this is important enough 

for the departments to 

foot the bill themselves, 

he continued. 

“The districts are 

prepared to move forward 

and spend district funds for 

this process in lieu of the 

lack of money in the grant 

program,” Lutz said.

Alguire noticed the car 

after which his custom

watching “77 Sunset Strip” 

when he was younger. The 

television show featured a 

character named Kookie 

who drove a 1923 Model

“I fell in love with the 

car,” Alguire said. 

Alguire thought about 

purchasing a Model T, 

looking at several that 

were for sale, before 

deciding he would build 

his own. 

“I’m a hobbyist,” he 

said, noting that he built 

the frame and got a 

junkyard transmission. 

As much as he likes 

the attention that comes 

with owning the Model 

T, his favorite thing about 

the Guptill’s 

cruises, he 

said, is that 

they aren’t

There are no

Alguire said. 

“There’s no

Guptill’s were in jeopardy, 

they didn’t think twice

Classic car enthusiasts cruise on down to 

Guptill’s once a month in the summer 

Joan and Bob Richardson stand 

in front of their Ford Fairlane, 

a car Bob purchased “just for 

fun” after owning a similar one 

in high school. 

about joining forces with 

the Richardsons. 

“We could not see 

losing such a good thing to 

do,” Dana said. 

“Everyone looks 

forward to it,” Erin added. 

Dana said that he’s 

drawn to the club and the 

cruises for a simple reason: 

Cars are his passion. 

“That’s my thing,” he 

said. “That’s my football. 

That’s my golf.” 

That’s a common 

sentiment among classic 

car owners, who largely 

aren’t into sports or 

drinking, said Pat Villani 

of Glenville, the group’s 

treasurer. 

“It’s a whole different 

breed of person,” Villani 

said. “You can walk up to 

any car person and you’re 

going to fi nd a friendly 

person.” 

Another trait car owners 

tend to share is that they’re 

mechanically inclined, 

he said. That’s the case 

with Villani, who said his 

gleaming ‘57 Chevy was an 

“old rust bucket” when he 

bought it. 

Villani has actually 

owned a number of ‘57 

Chevys. But he eventually 

got tired of them and 

decided to buy a ‘66 Impala 

convertible instead. 

That didn’t go over well 

at home. 

“My wife was very 

upset,” he said with a 

laugh. 

So off he went to fi nd 

another ‘57 Chevy. 

Doug Roberts 

of Albany looked 

admiringly at Villani’s car 

and a handful of others 

during the club’s recent 

picnic at the Crossings 

in Colonie. Roberts is 

somewhat unusual in that 

he belongs to the club 

but doesn’t own a classic 

car. He joined after the 

Richardsons, whom he 

knew from work, assured 

him that “having a car 

is not necessarily a big 

thing.” 

But that doesn’t mean 

Roberts doesn’t want 

to own a car someday. 

Recently retired, he 

bought a camper and 

then a truck to haul it. 

Once those are paid 

off, he hopes to get a 

classic car, probably 

nothing newer than 

1970, although he hasn’t 

settled on a make and 

model. 

“Some of the old 

cars, I just love them to 

death,” he said. 

The appeal of the club, 

he said, is seeing just 

what every owner does 

to make his or her car a 

little different from the 

rest. Everyone is more 

than happy to talk to him 

about the modifi cations 

they’ve made and what 

cars they think might be 

a good fi t for him. 

There was a time when 

Joan Richardson would 

have felt lost in such 

conversations. But after 

marrying her husband, 

she came to enjoy the 

classic car scene as much 

as he does. 

“We just like the 

camaraderie,” she said. 

Guptill’s is the perfect 

place for that camaraderie 

to grow, according to 

Bob Richardson. For one 

thing, there’s a lot of space, 

including a grassy area 

where owners can display 

their cars. Beyond that, it’s 

fi tting to hold the cruises 

at a roller rink, considering 

that skating was a huge 

part of people’s childhood. 

“It’s perfectly in the 

era,” he said. “We all went 

roller skating. It’s just all 

part of the nostalgia and 

the memories.” 

Admission to the 

cruises is free, although 

the Cruisers ask for one 

non-perishable food item 

(or cash) to help support 

the Regional Food Bank of 

Northeastern New York. 

There is live music, and 

ice cream and other food 

is sold at Guptill’s Coney 

Express. Cars as old as 

1985 are welcome at the 

August cruise; the Sept. 13 

cruise is also open to cars 

from any year with aftermarket 

customizing.

Jane (McClintock) 

Weidman 

July 6, 1935-July 16, 

2010 

To her family, “Budge” 

was the energetic, loving, 

fi ercely loyal woman who 

knew about 

multitasking 

before the 

term was 

coined. She 

could do 

everything 

from making clothes for 

her two children, Jane 

and John, to cooking and 

presenting a gourmet meal 

for a crowd. And she did all of 

that while moving the family 

nine times as a Navy wife 

married to CDR (ret) Russell 

H. Weidman. They lived in 

West Springfi eld, Va. for the 

past 35 years and celebrated 

their 53rd anniversary on 

December 29. 

To another circle, Budge 

was the consummate 

researcher and historian, 

who led the all volunteer 

Civil War Conservation 

Corps at the National 

Archives from November,

1994, when it was created, 

to her retirement in 

December, 2009. She 

scheduled, supervised and 

befriended up to 55 other 

volunteers who engaged 

in preserving some of 

the priceless Civil War 

records: the Compiled 

Military Service Records, 

the field records of the 

Freedmen’s Bureau, and 

the Civil War Widow’s 

Pension Files. 

An amazingly generous 

person, Budge happily shared 

information she learned from 

the Archives records with all 

who asked. She accepted 

speaking engagements, but 

took no pay, to discuss the 

CWCC work and some of 

their findings in the Civil 

War fi les. 

Last year, the National 

Archives announced the 

creation of the annual 

Weidman Outstanding 

Volunteer Service Award 

and Budge and Russ were 

the fi rst recipients. 

The people in the records 

became like an extended 

family and Budge would 

talk about the injustice 

done one soldier or the

heartbreaking account of a 

widow’s poverty resulting 

from her husband’s or 

son’s death in the war. She 

was highlighted for this 

activity in the Washington 

Post on February 1, 2010 

in the Fed Faces. She was 

a member of the Lincoln 

Forum, and served on the 

Forum’s Advisory Board. 

Budge was also a member 

of the Lincoln Bicentennial 

Advisory Committee. 

She attended 

Slingerlands Grade School, 

Albany Academy for Girls 

(cy 1953), Northwestern 

University, and Katherine 

Gibbs School in New York. 

Budge is survived by 

her husband and children 

- Jane W. Waligorski and 

her husband Martin and 

John R. Weidman and his 

wife Felicia - as well as her 

brother John McClintock, 

sister Gail Neil and sister-inlaw 

Joyce Phillips and seven 

grandchildren: Russell, 

James, Elizabeth Waligorski 

and Molly, Jack, Michael 

and Katie Weidman. 

Burial will be at 

Arlington National 

Cemetery at a later date.

Your Community in The Spotlight 

Club uses clubs to help To Life! 

Seventy-fi ve women came together, wearing pink, to participate in Normanside Country Club’s Annual Women’s Member- 

Guest Golf Tournament held Thursday, July 22. This year’s event raised money for the Delmar organization called To 

Life! To Life! is a non-profi t organization providing free-of-charge breast cancer education and support services in a 

10-county region, including and surrounding Albany County. To Life!’s outreach extends to women and families facing 

breast cancer or other women’s health issues through educational forums and workshops, support groups and one-onone 

mentors, personalized boutique services and wellness activities. “The Women’s Member-Guest has been held 

for as long as she can remember, but it wasn’t traditionally held as a charitable event. This changed several years 

ago when the women of Normanside got together to support a friend diagnosed with breast cancer. This year was the 

fi rst time the event has benefi tted a local organization, ” said Rebecca Clancy, president of the Women’s Organization 

at Normanside Country Club. “To Life! was especially welcomed this year as Normanside wanted to support a group 

that helps so many women right here in our community!” The Women’s Organization as well as the Member-Guest 

Planning Committee would like to thank everyone who contributed towards the success of this event. We couldn’t have 

done it without the women who served on our committee, the women who came out to golf, the local businesses who 

donated to our silent auction and raffl e, the companies who sponsored a hole, and the dedicated Normanside employees 

from the Pro Shop and Clubhouse who ran the tournament and provided a wonderful luncheon. For information about 

Normanside Country Club, visit www.normanside.com. For information about To Life!, visit www.tolife.org.

they do not appear 

together on the petition 

itself. 

“I am not permitted to 

endorse candidates in any 

race and I have not done so, 

nor will I,” said Donovan in 

a statement. “If my actions 

have been interpreted as 

an endorsement of any 

candidate, they should not 

have been.” 

He declined to speak 

directly about the matter 

further. 

The Judicial Campaign 

Ethics Center is an arm 

of the state Unifi ed Court 

System that seeks to 

provide ethics advice for 

judicial candidates. The 

body can also assist in 

mediation should there 

be disagreements between 

candidates. 

A mediation seems 

unlikely in this scenario, 

as no one is seeking 

to have the signature 

disqualifi ed. 

“It would be a waste 

of effort and money,” 

said Melody Burns, 

chairwoman of the 

Bethlehem Republican 

Committee. “[Gordon] 

had enough signatures, 

so it doesn’t make any 

sense.” 

The rule in question 

does not pertain to election 

law, so it’s unlikely a basis 

would be found to have the 

signatures thrown out. 

While Ambrosio said he 

was unconcerned about 

Donovan’s petitions, 

it was apparently his 

own campaign that led 

the GOP to look into 

Donovan. 

Ambrosio said he was 

asked to carry petitions 

for other candidates 

when he was canvassing 

for the Independence 

and Conservative lines. 

Canvassing is a time- 

and energy-consuming 

process, so it’s not unusual 

for affi liated candidates to 

help one another out. 

“Several of my fellow 

Republican candidates 

found out I was having 

some success [gathering 

third-party signatures] 

and asked me if I 

wouldn’t mind carrying 

their petitions, too. ... 

I told them, I can’t do 

it,” Ambrosio said. “This 

being my first rodeo, I 

wanted to take a very, 

very conservative and 

careful approach to 

this.” 

Both Donovan and 

Ambrosio are seeking 

the Independence and 

Conservative lines, 

meaning there will be a 

Sept. 14 primary for those 

slots.

(From Page 28) 

from the people she had 

come to the game with by 

that beam. 

That probably happens 

all the time there, though. 

The Red Sox have sold out 

more than 600 consecutive 

games — even the seats 

that are blocked by those 

infernal beams. 

The game itself was 

fairly unremarkable 

through the first eight 

innings. The Tigers built 

a 6-1 lead, partially on the 

strength of two Jhonny 

Peralta home runs (yes, 

I said Jhonny Peralta). 

About the only highlights 

for Red Sox Nation in 

those eight innings were 

a Carlton Fisk sighting 

(for the record, they still 

love Fisk in Beantown), 

a Marco Scutaro home 

run (shortstops love 

hitting homers over that 

Green Monster) and the 

obligatory sing-a-long to 

“Sweet Caroline.” 

But then, the ninth inning 

came. And with it, our 

night went absolutely off 

the rails (you’ll understand 

how that was meant as a 

pun a little further down 

this column). 

Closer Jose Valverde 

was in the game for Detroit. 

I wouldn’t say Valverde is 

out of shape, but a sumo 

wrestler has a better 

physique than Valverde 

these days. And judging 

from what Valverde did in 

the ninth inning, a sumo 

wrestler probably would 

have been more effective 

than him. 

It started well for 

Valverde, as he struck out 

Eric Patterson for the fi rst 

out. But then, Valverde 

walked Scutaro. That was 

followed by a walk to Jed 

Lowrie (who had gone 

0-for-3 at the plate with a 

walk prior to that at bat). 

Then, Valverde walked

the bases. All this while 

ostensibly mopping up 

with a fi ve run lead. 

So then, David Ortiz 

steps up to the plate. The 

17,000 fans still in Fenway 

Park are going crazy. All 

I’m thinking is, “Ortiz isn’t 

going to hit a grand slam, 

is he?” 

The count goes to 

three balls and two 

strikes. Valverde is using 

an oxygen tank between 

pitches. He looks like he’s 

on the ropes. And then … 

THWACK! 

Ortiz lofts a ball to the 

right fi eld corner, not more 

than 50 feet from where 

Bill and I were sitting. The 

ball lands about eight rows 

deep in the stands for a 

grand slam. 

Detroit 6, Boston 5. 

I’m standing in shock. 

Bill says something 

about doing bad things to 

Valverde if he was Detroit 

manager Jim Leyland. 

Meanwhile, 17,000 Red 

Sox Nation members are 

going absolutely insane. 

After looking toward 

the dugout to see if he

Valverde collected himself 

and struck out Victor 

Martinez for the second 

out. This was followed by 

an Adrian Beltre double 

that brought Fenway to life 

a third time. About the only 

thing that could have put 

this night over the top was 

if injured second baseman 

Dustin Pedroia came in to 

pinch hit. 

Except that it was J.D. 

Drew that pinch hit. And 

Valverde intentionally 

walked him to get to Mike 

Cameron, who he then 

struck out to mercifully 

end the game.

satisfi ed. But then, we had 

to get back on the train 

to Braintree. And that’s 

where things took another 

turn toward the bizarre. 

Let me start by mentioning 

that there are two 

outbound red line trains 

-- one to Braintree, and 

one to Ashmont. The one 

to Ashmont would have 

done us no good, so we 

specifi cally looked for the 

Braintree train when we 

got back to Park Street 

station. 

The fi rst train that pulled 

in was for Ashmont, so Bill 

and I were prepared to 

let that one go by when 

we heard the following 

announcement from the 

train: 

“If you’re going to 

Braintree, please get on 

this train.” 

Huh? 

Then, another voice — 

this time, a female voice: 

“Braintree passengers, 

GET ON THIS TRAIN!” 

Well, when someone 

says “get on this train,” you 

get on. So, that’s what Bill 

and I did. 

It should be noted here 

that there was a reason 

to get on the Ashmont 

train, or so we thought. 

One of the Braintree-line 

stations was shut down 

for construction, and we 

were told that we needed to 

board a shuttle bus during 

the ride to get the train to 

Braintree. 

So there we were on 

the Ashmont line, listening 

to the two conductors 

basically play “good cop, 

bad cop” as they implored 

Braintree-bound riders to 

get on their train. 

Male conductor: “If 

you’re going to Braintree, 

please get on this train. 

You will then get off at 

JFK/UMass and take a 

shuttle bus to the Wollaston 

station, where you will pick

up the train to Braintree.” 

Female conductor: 

“Braintree passengers: 

GET ON THIS TRAIN! 

GET ON NOW!” 

(Side note: Bill’s 

comment that the female 

conductor sounded like 

Samuel L. Jackson in 

“Snakes on a Plane” caused 

our whole car to laugh 

hysterically.) 

When we reached the 

JFK/UMass station, the 

Braintree passengers 

got off as instructed and 

went upstairs, where we 

thought we were about to 

be pointed to the shuttle 

busses. Instead, a Boston 

Metro Transit Authority 

worker pointed us to go 

downstairs again, which 

led us to the Braintree 

platform. 

That seemed antithetical 

to what we were told on the 

Ashmont train, so we went 

toward the exit turnstiles. 

There, another BMTA 

worker told us that there 

were no shuttle busses and

we needed to board the

At this point, several 

bewildered passengers 

(including Bill) started 

grilling the BMTA worker, 

but we all eventually went 

downstairs to the Braintree 

platform. While we were 

waiting for the Braintree 

train, Bill remarked that 

he half expected to see 

a headless horseman to 

show up and take us to … 

well, who knows where. 

Maybe Braintree, maybe 

Sleepy Hollow or maybe 

hell. 

Fortunately the 

Braintree train arrived, 

and as we settled into 

the ride, I looked at the 

map. As it turned out, the 

station that was closed 

was between JFK/UMass 

and Wollaston. So, all we 

were going to do was roll 

past the closed station 

and go to Wollaston, and 

anyone who needed to get 

off at the closed station was 

supposed to take a shuttle 

bus back to where they

wanted to go. 

Now, if the BMTA had 

simply explained it like 

that instead of telling us 

to board the wrong train 

and get us all confused 

with a female conductor 

screaming about a shuttle 

bus that wasn’t at the 

station we had to get off at 

— wait, now I’m getting all 

confused again. 

Anyway, Bill and I made 

it back to Braintree, where 

Bill explained the whole 

thing to Suzi. And I’m 

pretty sure that as Bill 

was recounting the night’s 

events in the car, Suzi was 

thinking, “Glad I wasn’t 

there.” 

As for me, the next 

time I go to Fenway Park, 

I’m going to make certain 

that the subway line I pick 

doesn’t have any station 

closings that night. I don’t 

need to go through that 

again.

Fenway Follies 

with Bill & Rob 

If New York City 

is “the greatest city From the 

in the world,” how 

S come so many of 

its residents leave ports 

there on summer 

weekends? While Desk 

you’re pondering Rob Jonas 

that, it’s time to 

move on… 

File this under the title, “Bill and Rob’s Not-soexcellent 

Adventure.” 

I went to visit my friend (and former Spotlight 

Newspaper editor) Bill Fonda and his wife, Suzi, last 

weekend outside Boston. The highlight of this annual 

trip was to be my fi rst Fenway Park experience, as Bill 

had acquired two tickets for last Friday’s Red Sox-Detroit 

Tigers game. 

First of all, for those of you who have never been to 

Fenway Park, it is best to use public transportation to 

get there. From what I could tell, parking lots are almost 

non-existent near the stadium. There was one lot, but to 

get to it, you had to navigate through the mass of Red 

Sox paraphernalia-wearing Bostonians. 

Bill and I rode the Boston subway system’s red line 

from the Braintree terminal to a stop in the heart of 

the city, then changed trains to get to the area around 

Fenway. It was a telling moment when the red line train’s 

conductor said as we got off at the Park Street station, 

“Go get ‘em, Red Sox fans.” Being born and raised 

New Yorkers, I think we both threw up a little bit in our 

mouths when he said that. 

It was also the last smooth ride we had on the red 

line that night. More on that later… 

When we got inside Fenway Park, we discovered one 

of its quirks — beams. As in big, green, steel beams that 

could make watching a baseball game nearly impossible. 

Fortunately, our seats were next to a beam, not directly 

behind it. Unfortunately, an elderly couple got planted 

behind that beam. And another person got separated
