Saratoga Voices Heroic Handel CAPITAL DISTRICT – On Nov. 19, 7:30 p.m., at Universal Preservation Hall, Saratoga Voices is performing a semi-staged version of Handel’s oratorio, Judas Maccabaeus. This oratorio, composed in 1746, has become Handel’s most popular oratorio, second only to The Messiah. To perform two of the lead roles, Saratoga Voices has engaged the talent of two internationally renowned vocal artists with strong dramatic experience. Tenor Thomas Cooley sings the title role of Judas Maccabaeus and baritone Jesse Blumberg sings the equally heroic role of Simon, the brother of Judas. Tickets for Heroic Handel! Handel’s Judas Maccabaeus ($40/$35 seniors) can be purchased at the UPH box office – UniversalPreservationHall. org – or by calling the box office at 518-346-6204. Seating is open, and the hall is fully accessible.

Town eyes cannabis limits Clifton Park supervisor is supporting a ban on usage in lounges ByLINE: KATHLEEN MOORE
CLIFTON PARK - The town can do nothing about the fact that recreational use of marijuana is now legal, but it doesn’t have to let people consume the drug at commercial lounges, Supervisor Phil Barrett said. “Any expansion of the drug culture is a negative trend for our society,” he said, adding that he and others who feel that way have “obviously lost that argument.” So he wants to do the next best thing: Limit its use as much as possible. The Town Board will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6. at Clifton Park Town Hall on whether to allow on-site consumption of marijuana. If allowed, on-site consumption would usher in bar-like businesses where customers
could buy and use marijuana products. The state regulations allow any municipality to opt out, but only if they act by Dec. 31. Municipalities can later choose to opt in and allow on-site consumption. The town is not proposing to opt out of the part of the law that allows the sale of marijuana at retail stores. However, Barrett said he’s not persuaded by the argument that marijuana sales will lead to lots of sale tax revenue. “Every time there’s an issue like this, it’s always sold on the basis of how it’s going to make everyone rich. ‘Oh we’re going to raise an incredible amount of money,’” he said. He doesn’t expect a windfall. He said he expects the whole idea will hurt society. “I think it’s a terrible sales pitch,” he said. “The effects on our society are not good as the drug culture expands.” Proponents of recreational marijuana argue that it’s no more dangerous than alcohol or
NOVEMBER 18, 2021
caffeine. That frustrates Barrett, who calls marijuana a “gateway drug,” adding, “Let’s deal with reality.” American consumption of marijuana has increased over the last half century. A Gallup poll conducted in August showed 49 percent of Americans say they’ve tried marijuana, though only 12 percent say they are marijuana smokers. Fifty years ago, just 4 percent said they had tried the drug. In recent years, the percentage of Americans who consider themselves smokers has hovered between 11 and 13 percent. The town already has zoning in place that limits where medical marijuana can be sold and has banned smoking of any substance in its parks and preserves. Barrett called those proactive measures to help protect the town from some of the effects of legalizing marijuana. “The state made it legal. We must play within the rules the state has enacted,” he said. Kathleen.Moore@timesunion.com
Modified muffler ban in effect Critics say legislation meant to curb car noise puts unfair burden on repair shops ByLINE: MICHELLE DEL REY
ALBANY - Legislation signed into law recently by Gov. Kathy Hochul is intended to drive down the noise of pesky modified mufflers and exhaust systems, but opponents of the new regulation say it’s impractical and a detriment to auto repair shops. The legislation, dubbed The SLEEP Act, which Hochul signed last month, increases penalties for repair shops and motorists for illegally modifying mufflers and exhaust systems. If a person is found to have modified the equipment, sold a device to increase the noise of a vehicle, or installs it, they can be subject to a $1,000 fine, jail time or both. Motorists also risk being charged with a misdemeanor for violating the new law. If repair shops install equipment to increase an automobile or motorcycle’s volume three times within 18 months, they risk losing their certificate of inspection. Police vehicles also need to come equipped with decibel readers. The legislation was crafted to reduce the amount of noise caused by illegal drag racing and to lower the rate of pollution
that can be increased by the altered car parts. According to the state Senate’s website, the World Health Organizations considers the growing trend to be an “underestimated threat” and one in four people will lose their hearing in the U.S. Also, modified mufflers and exhaust systems have led to numerous noise complaints, especially in areas where racing occurs. “It represents an undue burden on people that do not have the resources to protect themselves from it,” the website states. As a result of the law, inspection stations will be responsible for ensuring that the equipment has not been illegally altered, a move that opponents say will risk the safety of repair shop owners and could reduce their clientele. Peter S. Kischak, president of the Service Station Dealers of Greater New York, says repair shops are being forced to invest in hundreds of dollars in equipment to measure decibel levels. Another problem, he says, is that shops can potentially irritate their customer base by failing them during inspections if they don’t meet the requirements listed in the legislation. “It’s picking on the small businessman. That’s what it’s doing,” Kischak said, adding that he isn’t against the law but
has a problem with how the state is addressing the issue. He suggested banning after-market corporations and companies from selling the equipment as an alternative preventative measure. Another opponent, Wayne Bombardiere, executive director of the New York Service Stations, said the legislation doesn’t make the road safer for drivers. Instead, it places pressure on repair shops to make sure area residents don’t get agitated when a passing car is too loud. State Sen. Jim Tedisco, a Glenville Republican, voted against the measure when it was brought forward in the Senate, along with 14 other senators. In a written statement to the Times Union, Tedisco said his concerns lie with the harshness of the law, which raises fines for people for altering a muffler but doesn’t give them a warning for a first infraction. “What’s next: charging fees for crying babies and barking dogs?” he said.

ed making their backyard retreats more appealing by repairing or upgrading the landscaping outside their homes. In fact, the average homeowner reported completing 3.4 landscaping projects in 2020. 5. Kitchen: Another project that makes sense given the circumstances, kitchen renovations were the fifth most popular home improvement project in 2020. Restaurant closures and social distancing guidelines led many people to dine in more often than they otherwise would, and just under 23 percent of homeowners reported renovating their kitchens in 2020. As the world gradually emerges from the pandemic, many homeowners who caught the renovation bug while in quarantine also will be emerging with what feels like an entirely new home.

Remodeling a kitchen adds value to a home. Remodeling Magazine’s “Cost vs. Value Report” indicates mid-range kitchen remodels cost about $66,000, and homeowners can expect to recover about 60 to 80 percent of that cost at resale. Homeowners may wonder if remodeling their kitchens is worth the investment. But homeowners should not just consider cost, but also the current conditions of their kitchens when deciding if a renovation project is the right move to make. These signs indicate it may be time to renovate a kitchen. • Breakers are triggered: If the lights go dark from a tripped circuit breaker every time you try to microwave and run the toaster oven at the same time, your wiring is likely not up to the task of handling the workload and could be out of date. A kitchen remodel will assess wiring load needs and an electric overhaul may be necessary. • Lack of storage: One of the biggest hassles homeowners encounter in their kitchens is a lack of storage space. If making a meal involves a Jenga-like stacking and rearranging of kitchen tools, or if an avalanche occurs whenever you search for an item, you might need more storage. A carefully planned redesign can achieve this, even in a smaller kitchen. • Outdated appliances: Even if your appliances are not avocado green or mustard yellow relics of the 1970s, they might still need to be replaced. According to CRD Design, appliances are only expected to last around 10 to 15 years. If appliances have become unsafe or energy hogs, it could be time for a remodel. • Family is expanding (or shrinking): Kitchens often are the heart of a home. They need to meet the needs of the family that resides in that home. A remodel can add space as needed. On the flip side, when a couple becomes empty nesters, kitchens can be redesigned and downsized to reflect their new needs and desires, such as the addition of a wine chiller or espresso station. • Poor lighting: Task lighting is essential in a kitchen, but older homes may not be equipped with lighting where it’s most needed. A carefully designed remodel can improve lighting with under-cabinet lights, pendants, overhead lighting, and even natural light to make the space attractive and more functional. • Frequent run-ins: The notion that you can have too many cooks in the kitchen refers to having too many people trying to pitch in or offer their opinions. However, it also can apply to when too many people are gathering in a small space. Redesigning a kitchen can improve the efficiency of a space and make the room feel larger. • Aesthetic appeal: Many kitchen remodels have been inspired by unsightly kitchens. Cosmetic changes can lead to big improvements. Kitchen renovations can add instant appeal and help address issues that tend to plague outdated rooms.
on home improvements increased by an average of $745 per household in 2020. In the face of travel restrictions and social distancing guidelines, many homeowners pivoted in 2020 and spent money they initially intended to use for vacations on home improvements. Though many such projects required the services of a professional contractor, others, including the most popular project among the 5,000 homeowners who participated in the HomeAdvisor report, were do-it-yourself endeavors. That not only gave homeowners’ homes a new look, but also gave them something to do during quarantine. The following are the five most popular home improvement projects of 2020 according to the HomeAdvisor report. 1. Interior painting: Just under 35 percent of participants reported taking on an interior painting project in 2020. Interior painting projects can be perfect for DIYers, but homeowners also can trust this task to skilled professionals. 2. Bathroom renovations: Real estate professionals routinely report how much prospective buyers love updated bathrooms, so it’s no surprise that roughly 31 percent of homeowners who took part in the HomeAdvisor report indicated they renovated their bathrooms in 2020. 3. Flooring: Floors took on a lot of extra traffic during the pandemic, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that flooring projects were popular in 2020. More than one-fourth of participants told HomeAdvisor their homes were updated with a new floor during the pandemic. 4. Landscaping: With nowhere else to go to escape the daily grind in 2020, many homeowners took to their yards. Twenty-four percent of those homeowners report-
