LOCAL POLITICS

New leader, new look for Bethlehem GOP In the classic philosophy of

Satchel Paige, Bethlehem Re­pUblicans have sharpened their image, elected a new party leader and installed a new operating procedure.

The new look is intended to put a stopper on the steady erosion the party has suffered in voter support in local elec­tions and to cut off Democratic gains that came within' 390 votes of winning the town su­pervisor's seat last November. The new image is a slate of offi­cers of young men in their early 40s, the new town chairman is

SPOTLIGHT PROFILE

Bernard Kaplowitz, 39, and the new operating procedure is elimination of the party's ex­ecutive committee as a policy­making panel. All of this fits in with the precept of Paige, the legendary and ageless base­ball pitcher ofa generation ago, who said: "Don't look back, they may be gainin' on you."

But in the eyes of the party's dissident wing, ihe new look appeared just like the old one, and it remains for the next test at the polling booths - in No­vember 1977 - to measure the

effectiveness of last week's action.

Kaplowitz succeeds Bertram E. Kohinke, longtime town leader who served 15 years as supervisor and four years as town chairman. By resigning as supervisor in mid-term two years ago, Kohinke was able to select his successor, the then comptroller Harry H. Sheaffer, who won the voters' mandate in the town election last No­vember.

There was no indication of hand-picked succession in Kaplowitz' endorsement by the

From Bert to Bernie: a block captain takes over At 39, Bernard Kaplowitz is

in the first week of a challenge he regards as the most im­portant in his career: reviving the vi~or of Bethlehem's long­entrenched Republican party by turning around an election margin that has been dwindling for some years.

The new town chairman, an attorney who has been on the town committee since 1969, came to Elsmere 10 years ago and became a block captain in the party organization. His grass-roots work for local can­didates earned him an invita­tion to be a committeeman.

Last November Bethlehem Democrats came the closest ever to muscling into the town government. With a steadily rising momentum, m~ny Dem­ocrats feel their party will make history with a victory in 1977.

Kaplowitz sees his job as stopping that momentum. "I believe a political party is ef­fective only as long as it recog­nizes and accepts change and fuses new blood into its opera­tions. Most importantly, it should listen to the voters of the community."

The new leader is a native of Nyack, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania (political science) and Albany Law School, and practices law with a partner and two asso­ciates in Colonie. He is mar­ried to his high school sweet­heart, Kathleen, and they have four children ranging in age from 14 to 9.

Kaplowitz served a two-year term in the Albany County Legislature and in November was elected to a four-year term. He is active in a number of community organizations from

Andrew L. Jones Bernard Kaplowitz

Little League to Hamagrael School PTA, and is a past president of the Bethlehem Re­publican Club.

42-member town Republican committee at last week's party organization meeting, al­though Kaplowitz has been prominent in party affairs for some time. The election of Kaplowitz, a Delmar resident and Albany attorney, has been regarded for some time as a foregone conclusion. The vote was 38-0 with Charles Red­mond, a steadfast Republican dissident, abstaining. Three members were absent.

Redmond, a member of the planning board and a onetime candidate for the town chair­man's post, was outspoken in his criticism of the party choice. "It's part of the same old story," he said. "It was wired for Bernie all along. The party will be led and directed by the same old crowd. There'" be no dra­matic change. They need a whole new committee, not one dominated by town hall peo­ple."

Also elected at the caucus were Thomas W. Scherer of Slingerlands, vice chairman, and Dixon S. Welt, secretary­treasurer. Scherer, a 47-year­old food broker, succeeds Eve­lyn Freudenreich. Welt, a law­yer and Alba'ny Law School classmate of Kaplowitz, suc­ceeds Kohinke as treasurer and Councilman William Johnston Jr. as secretary.

This week Kaplowitz dis­closed he was eliminating the executive committee function in favor of a broader voice in policy-making. "I have ad­vised the committee that I would attempt to operate with­out an executive committee, at least for the immediate fu­ture," he said. "I am doing

April 22. 1976 - PAGE 9

this to insure that future de­cisions will be made by the en­tire committee, and that indi­vidual members will be given a more substantial voice in the decision-making process."

Ambulance drive on next week

Neighbors will be calling on neighbors next week when Voorheesville Area Ambulance Service volunteers launch their first fund drive since 1971. The campaign will run April 24-May 5.

Elsmere restauranteur to coach in Olympics

Charlie Chow grew up in a mainland China village near Peking, later moved to Hong Kong with his family, and took up bicycle racing when he was 14. In 1966 at age 18 he won the speed racing champion­ship of Asia at 200 meters (125 miles).

The ambulance sdves the general area of the Voorhees­ville Central School District. The organization is totally self­supporting.

Two years later Charles Chow quit riding to become coach and manager of the Hong Kong Cycling Assn. ra~­ing team. He held this post even when he enrolled in Rut­gers University in New Jersey, and stayed on in the United States after graduation. In 1974 he led his team to the world championship in Mon­treal.

L,fe-Art Photo Cynthia and Charles Chow: a culinary-cycling combination.

The vehicle is housed in ifs own garage in the village, and manned by a well trained crew of volu"nteers twenty four hours daily. These people are well trained in the most modern life support methods and operate a radio equipped van-type ambu­lance supplied with the latest in ressusitation gear.

Today Charlie, who will be 27 in June, is one ofthe busiest men in the Capital District. He is operating his own restaurant, Peking Garden, at Delaware Plaza in Elsmere, is readying a second restaurant for an

opening later this month at Twenty Mall, Guilderland, and is again committed to coach­ing the Hong Kong team in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.

In the midst of all this, Char­lie married Cynthia Cheng in Hong Kong last August, and three weeks ago returned to Hong Kong to bring his bride to the U.S.

Finding the way ... with clay Bonnie Foster of New Salem

has hands I can respect. They are strong, capable and deft. They are the hands of a "do-er," the hands of a potter. This one fact alone tells a lot about Bonnie to people who ~nder­stand the metaphysics of potting.

But for those who haven't yet discovered potting it's help­ful to know other details, such as: Bonnie is also a nurse, an artist, a teacher and a mother. The day I visited her she was also a minor producer of maple syrup! Our interview took place on the run, with me fol­lowing Bonnie as she gathered more firewood for the sugar­ing-off process she was con­ducting on an outdoor bar­beque.

This was followed by a trip to the kitchen where we pon­dered over the exact boiling temperature of water in New Salem. (You see, maple syrup boils at 7 degrees above the boiling temperature of water. Bonnie deduced that water boils at 205 degrees and the're­fore, maple sugar boils at 212 degrees. H ow could I have lived all these years without knowing this, I mused).

A student of potting

But even after all this, I still think of Bonnie's hands as those of a potter. Her home is filled with examples of her hand-built pieces as well as those she produced with her wheei. On a high shelf out of her toddlers' reaches are pieces of pottery made by her various teachers - Marian Suda of Montreal, Kathy Inglesby of Boston, and Ann Roberts of London, Ont.

It was Ann who introduced Bonnie to pottery II years ago. Bonnie baby-sat for the Roberts children, whose home was always filled with pottery and clay. It was then that Bonnie discovered the fascina­tion of pottery, the pleasure of sensing tactually the three­dimensionality of a piece of clay.

Betsy, my 9-year-old, and I saw Bonnie's "beloved bowls" - those hand-fashioned pieces so eloquently named by potters because the potters who made them work;ed together and took their clay from a single source, We saw pots made from coils of clay, pinch pots, and vases made from clay slabs.

In the basement we were en­chanted with pieces waiting to be fired, which the New Sa­lem Girl Scouts had made with Bonnie's help. They were wait­ing to be joined by more pieces so Bonnie could get maximum use of her kiln. Because kilns are kilowatt-killers, Bonnie is careful never to waste an inch in hers. Often it takes her hours to pack tlie kiln before firing.

We also saw a beautiful pot which Bonnie had torn while it was on the wheel. The edge of the pot broke when she was testing the limits of a particular clay by seeing how thin she could make it. Bonnie displays this piece proudly, believing with Paulus Berensohn of the Penland School of Crafts that potting, like journal-keeping, helps us see ourselves grow as well as helps us to grow.

Children were getting rest­less as we touched on other subjects - glazes, decorative techniques and clay. All this would have to wait for another day. Betsy and I made our way to the door around an enor­mous stack of cartons contain­ing 500 pounds of clay Bonnie had ordered for students in her pottery classes at the Adult Education Program at the Voorheesville High School. (Sorry. The class is full, but try again next Fall).

Teaching vital element

Teaching and pottery go hand in hand. Most teachers of pottery believe that their teaching, and their growth as artists and people are one and the same. Many potters see

Barbara Schultz Bonnie Foster

working with clay as a'way of "finding their way" (to use a phrase from Paulus Beren­sohnl.and see working with other people as a vital element to the process, Bonnie's part­ing words were: "I have to get back to teaching."

Betsy, the silent observer that afternoon, got Bonnie's message loud and clear. Upon reaching home, little hands sought out a neglected jar of dried clay, worked it into a plastic' state, and presented me with a token whose silent, yet essential message was: human hands made me.

PLANNING BOARD

Bicentennial Woods gets green light

The wobbly on-again off­again course of the 44-acre Bicentennial Woods residential subdivision project in Glen­mont through the Bethlehem planning board finall.y has come to an end. The board voted 4-1 to give the go-ahead to A bco Builders I nco of Doug­laston, L.I., the developers.

The decision came three days before the board's mandatory 45-day time limit was due to expire. Since the public hear­ing on the project March 2, the board has been split on various configurations of lots and streets.

There was no unanimity at the end, either. Board mem­ber John LaForte stuck to his opposition to the majority in­sistence on requiring a 60-foot­wide thoroughfare straight through the heart of the pro­ject between Beacon Rd. and Feura Bush Rd. The builders opposed the plan on the basis it was "poor planning" but de­signed the through artery' to meet the board's terms. La­Forte and the developer con­tended the original plan of winding residential streets was more in line with safety by dis­couraging through traffic.

According to the builder, the through street also reduced the number of lots from 148 to 145.

The board's May agenda in­cludes public hearings on two

other subdivisions, May 4 for an eight-lot project of Gerald Goldie on Union Ave. South, and May II for the 34-lot Springald Woods proposal of Residential Concepts Inc. in Delmar.

Town screening cable TV bids

Bethlehem is still more than a year away from having its own cable television system, but the project is one step closer now that the public hearing is on the books.

A resident committee ap­pointed by the town board and headed by Clayton Relyea is studying bids by two compet­ing firms, Capital Cable Vision Systems and Aurovideo Cable Television. Public presenta­tions by the firms at last week's hearing turned up relatively few differences in fees and ser­vice facilities. Both systems would provide a 30-channel ca­ble, but Aurovideo said it would set up a production stu­dio in the town whereas CCV indicated it would provide the town with a share of its Al­bany facility used by six other franchises in the county.

Both indicated the timing would depend on the make­ready work to be done by New York Telephone and Niagara Mohawk on rearrangement of utility lines on poles and towers.

Blue Cross seeks easier communication

A 13-county network of community advisory commit­tees is currently being set up by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Northeastern New York to give the public closer access to health plan information.

Eight community advisory committees will be established within the Albany-based plans'

13-county operating area. At least 12 local consumers will sit on each committee (no phy" sicians, hospital administra­tors, or other health care pro­viders will be allowed to serve) and as many as 25 percent of these consumer representatives· will be nOQ-subscrihers.

A single plan-wide com­munity advisory council, com­posed of members of the local committees, will also be created with direct access to the execu­tive officers and the governing boards of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Northeastern New York.

Communication easier

According to James M. Stewart, community consul­tant for the plans who is head­ing the project, "Blue Cross and Blue Shield \)f N ortheast­ern New York are forming the community advisory commit­tees to provide another avenue for the exchange of informa­tion between the Plans and those who utilize health care services." He added:

"We anticipate that they will conduct studies of existing medical facilities and services and will provide feedback to the plans regarding deficien­cies in the health care system, the effectiveness of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in serv­ing the community, and the problems consumers face in utilizing health care services.

By the end of April, Stewart hopes to have the first com­munity advisory committee functioning. With a population of 286,000, Albany County (the most populous of the 13 coun­ties in the plans' service area) will be the testing-ground for the network of local advisory committees.

New tennis shop an Elsmere 'first'

When Dave Corbin finishes his six-mile run and has break­fast, he and wife Lynn slip out of their driveway in Voorhees­ville and drive to their newly opened shop in Elsmere.

The Courtside Tennis Shoppe is attracting the atten­tion of Bethlehem's large tennis population as well as non­players. The new enterprise opened earlier this month at the corner of Delaware Ave. and Elsmere Ave. between Stewart's and Lena's Children's Shop.

Dave and Lynn are well known in area tennis circles. Dave is a co-founder of Tennis Action Agency, a novel enter­prise that operates charter buses to major pro tennis events at Forest Hills and Hart­ford, and arranges tennis vaca­tions for individuals and groups.

Last year the Corbins team­ed with Inderjit Singh of Sche­nectady, a ranking Eastern singles player, and his wife Nitty to open the first Court-

side Tennis Shoppe on Upper Union St., Schenectady. The shop's success led to a second shop in tennis-oriented Bethle­hem.

The partnership also in­cludes a third couple, Denny Sperry, director of the Student Union program at Hudson Val­ley Community College, and his wife Josie, a native of the Philippines.

Dave confesses to an am­bition: giving a literal meaning to his shop's name. "Our dream is to have a tennis court alongside the shop," he said. "I think we can do it, too."

Meanwhile the Corbins are happy with a full line of tennis equipment, men's and women's tennis clothing and shoes, warmup suits and a variety of gift items. They also do string­ing, regripping and something new: resoling worn leather tennis shoes that still have some mileage left in the uppers.

Helping with racquet re­stringing are Bethlehem Cen­tral tennis team members Matt Reich, Matt Goodman and Trisha McCall.

Little Leaguers In booster drive

Don't blink if you answer your bell and find a uniformed baseball player on your door­step. He (or she) will be one of some 480 Tri-Village Little Leaguers seeking financial sup­port from the community for the upcoming baseball Season.

The annual booster drive will be on April30-May I this year. Contributions will be sought in a door-ta-door campaign on Saturday, May I, rain or shine., On Friday, April 30, collec­tions will be taken in the major shopping areas of the town.

"This is one of OUT major funding sources for each year's operations," stated Bill Reuss­wig, treasurer of the drive. "Most people don't realize how much it takes to run the league each year. We are facing in­creased costs for eq uipment. OUf expenditures average about $40 per child; up 15 per­cent over the last three years. The total operational costs ex­ceed $17,000 excluding the in­come and costs of the refresh­ment stand. When we add that, our budget goes beyond $22,000."

Henry Radzyminski, presi­dent of the League, stated that Tri-Village Little League fields more than 30 teams in its three divisions. To assist their opera­tions, each team has three adults as coaches and mana­gers, most of them parents of boys participating.

Many parents work at the field to keep it in shape. The women's auxiliary keeps the re­freshment stand in constant

operation throughout the sea­son.

.. All of these men and women perform a real community ser­vice for the children of this area, and the board of direc· tors is most grateful to them," said Radzyminski, "without the help .oho many in giving generously of their time the league would be impossible to operate."

BETHLEHEM

Acquario to file for school board

William J. Acquario, Del­mar, a program analyst for the

State Assembly, will seek a seat on the Bethle­hem board of elections.

Acquario, married and the

Acquario is the first candi· date to enter the race for Har· ris' seat, which is expected to attract several other aspirants along with challengers for Weinberg's seat. Acquario lives at 6 Caroline Dr., Del­mar.

THE CAPITOL

Surcharge sought for 'vanity' plates

A bill in the New York State legislature would require every­one to pay extra for a "special" license plate for their autos.

Assemblyman Thomas Frey, D-Monroe, is sponsor of the bill and drives a car with a NYS Assembly license plate.

"That special plate doesn't cost me anything now, but un­der my bill it would cost $15 over my regular registration fee next year," Frey said.

The lawmaker estimated the bill would bring in about $2 million the first year and an additional $50,000 each suc­ceeding year. Frey said under his proposal any citizen could request a "vanity" license plate of up to six letters and num­bers, providing the combina­tion isn't obscene.

Doctors, newsmen and members of the senate and as­sembly wanting special plates would have to pay extra for them under the proposal.

Utilities' hearing

Customers of utilities seek· ing rate hikes would have to be informed of public hearings on the rate changes.

The utility would be required to give individual notice to cus· tomers on their monthly bill at least 30 days before the hear­ing.

The hearing notice measure was co-sponsored by Sen.

HISTORIC BETHLEHEM HOMES - NO.3

Barracks-barroom on the plank road By Allison P. ·Bennett

Since its construction in the early 1800s, the residence of Mr. and Mrs.·.Harold Van­Derpoel has been a barracks and a training center for Union soldiers 'and a tavern that host­ed travelers on the old Albany­Bethlehem Plank Road.

'Today this sturdy white­painted brick colonial house on the fringe of Bethlehem Center, along Route 9W near the intersection of the Delmar By-Pass, stands as solidly on its acres as it did when it was a productive farmstead in early Bethlehem. It has a special touch of nostalgia for Mrs. VanDerpoel, since her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Magee, raised their daughter in this very house .

Put it all together in Air Force ROTC.

Henry Haswell, who built this brick house about 1800 or shortly thereafter. Historical memoirs repeatedly tell the story that bands of Indians camped in the fields around Bethlehem Center and near the Normanskill creek during the summer months in days gone by. Mr. Haswell agreeably allowed the Indians to camp on the fields behind his farm­house. At slaughter time in the fall of the year, Haswell would exchange meat with the Indians for hand-hewn bowls and woven baskets, as well as other handwork in which the Indians had special skills.

Because of its strategic loca­tion along the Albany-Bethle­hem Turnpike, chartered in 1804, the house was also used as a tavern and resting place for weary stage travelers and for farmers who brought their wagonloads of produce to the Albany market. Today the oak-panelled dining room has replaced what was once the bar room of the tavern.

Training for soldiers

We know that soldiers were trained on the level fields sur­rounding the house as early as 1812, and Col. John Moore of Bethlehem trained troops for the Mexican War on these same flats in the 1840s. Militia companies had been formed by the earliest settlers for defense of their homes and fields, and it was these same groups that drilled on the fields surround­ing tlte Haswell house.

With the outbreak of the Civil War these militia com­panies were mobilized by the governor of New Yprk and formed into fighting regiments.

Once again this area was used as a training ground, this time for Union soldiers, and the house was used as a head­quarters and a suitable place to billet these men.

lt was at this time that the now almost obliterated Ken­wood Ave., .which,used to pass beside the homestead, received its nickname of "Kitchen Ave­nue" - this because Union troops had set up cooking houses along the dirt road. As a child Mrs. VanDerpoel and her sister liked to "hunt for treasure" about the property and often found pieces of Army equipment. In doing some dig­ging in the backyard they un­earthed two graves of Union soldiers!

In later years the militia companies usually met just once a year, and the meetings were very often the occasion for much drinking and jov­iality, including occasional disturbance of the peace with small attention paid to military drill and firearms practice. They often wore rather gaudy uniforms, which cut quite a swath with the young country girls, and the "training days" were made festive with much partaking of cider and ginger­bread by the local company of "Bethlehem Grays."

Authenticity retained

The VanDerpoeis have cher­ished the old house and kept it as authentic to its period as possible, but have made some additions. A two-car garage and utility room, with a large family-playroom above, have been added to the rear as a concession to modern living. The house is beautifully fur-
