Save the Historic West Sand Lake Firehouse

When I addressed the Town Board at my appointment as Town Historian back in 2013, I mentioned that I took my job seriously, as “a sacred trust” to care for the history of Sand Lake.

EAST GREENBUSH – Supervisor Jack Conway will seek a third, four-year term with the intent of continuing the work he began eight years ago when he was swept into office on the anti-casino and good government slate of East Greenbush First.

Conway, who runs on the Democratic line, announced his decision to his Town Hall staff and on Facebook last Wednesday morning as he and the town Democratic leadership put aside their differences to head into the campaign for November.

“The job’s not done. In the last eight years we’ve built the best town in the Capital Region,” Conway said in an interview.

Conway plans to continue his approach developed when the independent East Greenbush First ticket won the 2015 election. Conway was reelected to a second term in 2019.

“The approach is to separate government and politics,” Conway said.

This resulted in the loosening of the hold

that the Democratic and Republican parties had while controlling the town government. One result has been the strengthening of the town’s ethics code. Conway first served the town as a member of the first ethics board and then became its chairman.

Conway is considered to be among the most recognizable Democratic elected officials in Republican-run Rensselaer County. He leads the second-most populous community in the county after the city of Troy.

Conway is expected to lead an all-incumbent slate of Democratic candidates when the town party caucuses in June to finalize its endorsements. “We had a discussion and we are moving forward. He’s doing a great job with the town,” East Greenbush Chairman Bob Poitras said.

Conway has disagreed with the town Democratic organization over how candidates are selected, preferring to use the petitioning process instead of the current caucus method which usually involves a small number of party activists meeting. As the East Greenbush First candidate, Conway made his way onto the ballot in 2015 by collecting petitions signed by town voters. There were also issues about whether Conway would opt to run again following his son Brian’s death a year ago. Conway and Poitras have talked about the situation and decided to proceed with Conway as the candidate after he said he was determined to run for a third term.

Conway cites among his accomplishments, the restoration of the town’s bond rating after years of its records not being audited and it being considered junk bond status. He also pointed to improvements at the town park, preparing Columbia Turnpike, the Routes 9

for the television series.

TROY — When Kathy Sheehan was 10 years old and went downtown for a piano lesson, she would make her away to the Hart Cluett House to soak in the 19th-century atmosphere of the historic Second Street building.

“It was magical,” Sheehan recalled 58 years later in the second-floor library of the Hart Cluett Museum, which she has just been appointed to lead.

Sheehan is best known as historian for the city of Troy and Rensselaer County in addition to her work with the staff of HBO’s “The Gilded Age” to find authentic 19th-century sites and buildings to film

The town faces challenges in confronting development, dealing with the Rensselaer County Industrial Development Agency’s granting of tax breaks to projects in the town, improving the 50-year-old pumps that bring water to the town from Troy, handling Regeneron Pharmaceutical’s continued growth and keeping the town independent from county government influence, Conway said.

“Regeneron is an exciting challenge to the town of East Greenbush,” Conway said.

Conway’s Republican opponent has not yet been established as the GOP faces a primary for supervisor. County Legislator Tom Grant, who won election to the Town Board as a councilman when he ran on the East Greenbush

First slate with Conway, faces Councilman Ed Nestler, a county Information Technology Services Office employee, in the June 27 primary. The supervisor’s annual salary currently is $85,000.

But that’s changed with the museum’s board of trustees naming Sheehan as executive director after serving as acting executive director for nearly a year.

Beth Schroeder, president of the museum board, said the search committee interviewed three finalists for the post when they realized Sheehan was the person they should consider.

“We had the best candidate for the job already. She has the experience and she has the vision,” Schroeder said Thursday.

Vision is what the board wants in a new executive director — to take the museum through a series of Please see SHEEH AN 13

The dangers of letting cats roam outdoors

The joy that companion animals bring into a household is what compels millions of people to adopt, purchase or foster pets. Pet ownership requires doing what is necessary to keep the animal content and healthy. Recognizing various common health conditions that can turn up in pets is one component of responsible pet ownership. Popcorn paws is a common yet lesser known condition that affects popular house pets like cats and dogs.

What is popcorn paws?

Popcorn paws, sometimes called Frito® feet, is often discovered when pet owners are tending to their dogs and cats. The condition is so named because pet owners often notice their animals’ paws smell of popcorn or corn chips. That odor is a byproduct of bacteria.

Billions of microorganisms are teeming on the skin of pets like dogs and cats. According to the staff at Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital in New Jersey, popcorn paws occurs when bacteria called pseudomonas and proteus mix with sweat and other moisture on the paws of pets’ feet. Coupled with microbes on the pet’s tongue, which the animal will likely use to clean areas of its body, including the paws, these microbes grow and give off a yeasty odor that some have likened to the smell of popcorn or corn chips.

Dogs in particular have an abundance of sweat glands in their feet. Furthermore, the area between the pads on their paws is moist and dark, which makes this area ripe for the overgrowth of bacteria and yeasts. Even though these microbes are naturally occurring, an overwhelming smell may indicate they’ve proliferated out of control.

When should I be concerned?

Minor yeasty aromas may be nothing to worry about, and keeping pets’ paws clean and dry may help clear up the issue. Long fur on the paws and in between the pads of the feet should be trimmed to curb odor and reduce the accumulation of debris and dirt in these areas. Various hygienic measures can help the matter.

The dog health and lifestyle experts at Dogster.com say that if the smell is quite foul, or the pet is consistently licking its feet or having trouble walking, the situation may be more serious. An injury or yeast infection could be at play. It’s always best to err on the side of caution and discuss symptoms with a veterinarian. The doctor may suggest certain measures, including changing diet and altering hygiene routines. This is a safer bet than homeopathic treatments or strategies touted on medically unsanctioned websites.

Popcorn paws could be making pets a little more smelly than they need to be. Thankfully, getting on top of this health condition is relatively simple.

House cats make peculiar, interesting and lovable companions. Cat owners often go to great lengths to make their furry feline friends feel good, and some may allow cats to roam outside. Though such a decision may be well-intentioned, it could lead to some troubling consequences.

The animal welfare organization American Humane notes that allowing indoor cats outside could jeopardize their health and safety in a number of ways.

Health

Cats allowed to venture outside may encounter feral cats, which American Humane notes can be carriers of disease. A 2014 study published in the journal Zoonoses and Public Health estimated that between 60 and 100 million feral cats live in the United States, and that figure could be even higher today. The animal rights organization PETA notes that contagious diseases such as herpes viral conjunctivitis, feline AIDS, leukemia, and infectious peritonitis are common in feral cats. Indoor and outdoor cats who catch these diseases could suffer serious consequences, including death.

Infection with parasites is another potential outcome for indoor cats allowed outdoors. Though American Humane notes parasites are not usually life-threatening for cats, they can cause a multitude of symptoms, including scratching, skin infections, vomiting, and diarrhea. Fleas, ticks, ear mites, gastrointestinal worms, and ringworm, which can be passed on to people in certain situations, are just some of the parasites cats can pick up if allowed outside.

Safety Safety is another factor cat owners must consider as they ponder whether or not to let their cats outside. American Human disputes the notion that cats have an innate instinct to avoid busy streets. Reliable estimates regarding how many cats are struck and killed by cars each year are hard to come by, but it bears noting that cats’ small stature makes them hard for motorists to see, which could make them more vulnerable to being hit by cars than dogs.

Vehicles are not the only outdoor safety threat to cats. Loose dogs and wild animals, including raccoons and foxes, may hunt cats allowed outdoors. Cats also could ingest toxins such as antifreeze, which has a pleasant taste but could prove fatal for cats. And though the image of firefighters saving cats from high perches in trees is common, trees are a significant threat to cat safety. Curious cats may climb trees and then be afraid to come down or struggle to come down safely, potentially leading to severe injuries.

Though owners may allow cats outdoors as an act of kindness, such a decision could place these pets in serious jeopardy.

Columbia High School senior Will Inman ’23 won a bronze medal in HVAC at the 2023 NYS SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills Championships last week in Syracuse.

He qualified for the state championships by winning the SkillsUSA Area III Regional competition in March.

During the state competition, contestants took a written test and then completed a circuit of different stations where they were tested in their knowledge of HVAC such as heat pumps, propane furnaces, window air condition-

er units and compressors.

“It was fun,” he said. “I thought of it as a learning experience.”

For the past two years, Mr. Inman has attended technical education classes in the HVAC and Renewable Energies program through Questar III BOCES at the Robert H. Gibson Technical School in Troy.

He receives classroom instruction and training for HVAC for half of the day at that school and attends regular classes at Columbia for the other half of the day.

As part of his technical education classes, Mr. Inman has learned about the design, installation and repair of HVAC systems and emerging technologies. He also has a part-time job installing HVAC systems for a local company.

Following graduation in June, Mr. Inman plans on attending SUNY Delhi to study Plumbing and HVAC.

Jeannie Carpinello has been a active member of our Center for decades.

Jennie still dances with our line dancer’s on Tuesday and

Plan to join us on this “Special Day”. To describe her as amazing just doesn’t seem enough so let me add Astonishing, Outstanding, Stunning, Extraordinary, Incredible, Jaw Dropping Eye Opening, Phenomenal ETC … you get the drift. Luncheon menu will consist of Sausage, Peppers, and Onions w/ Pasta and special Birthday Cake. Music by The Young Winchesters. Make your reserva-

Protection Fr om vil

Please join the Greenbush Historical Society on Sunday, May 21, 2 PM, at the East Greenbush Community Library. Our speaker will be Walter Wheeler who will discuss the use of talismans throughout history—from ancient times to the present. Merriam-Webster defines talismans as “an object held as a charm to avert evil and bring good fortune.”

This can be an object that holds protective powers and all cultures have manifestations of such objects. Evidence of protective talismans have been found at early 17th century archaeological sites and existing buildings throughout the Hudson Valley. Wheeler’s talk will present examples of some of these practices, such as symbolic markings or carvings, foundation deposits, and horseshoes hung over doors, from 1625 to the present. The relationship to similar European practices will be covered. All GHS programs are free and open to the public but registration at the library is required. Please call 518-477-7476 to reserve a seat.

Recently, NYS passed an edict that all school districts must basically purge any mention of Native Americans in relation to their sports teams, mascots, and school names.

Theatrical Re ading of Sc enes rom Mr s. Greenthumbs ook

On May 21 at 3 pm the North Chatham Free Library has a real treat in store for dedicated gardeners, especially those who enjoy humor mixed with good solid advice. Local, multitalented actor Sally McCarthy will offer a theatrical reading of scenes from the book “Mrs. Greenthumbs: How I Turned

A Boring Yard Into A Glorious Garden And How You Can Too” by Cassandra Danz. This program is held in fond memory of Ms. Danz. She was a comedian who worked with Chicago’s famous Second City, later made her home in Hudson and became a bestselling garden writer. A skilled landscape designer herself, she saw with a wry eye the silly things people do to ruin their yards and gardens and is remembered for her personality and wit.

Sally McCarthy has been active in many tristate venues for several decades, most recently in “Invitation to a March” at the Ghent Playhouse, for which she was given great reviews. Many of us have laughed at her annual performances in PantoLoons at the Playhouse. Although she can dance, sing and be hilarious, Sally admits she did not inherit her own

mother’s green thumbs.

The program will take place outdoors in the library’s garden if weather permits, or in case of bad weather at the nearby North Chatham United Methodist Church.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of The Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered in Columbia County by CREATE Council on the Arts.

REAL ESTATE / HOUSE OF THE WEEK

8711Miller Road, Averill Park

VThis Averill Park home with a midcentury feel was built in 1979. eiled by a thicket of trees, 8711 Miller Road is a 3,600-squarefoot midcentury modern nestled on a 19-acre woodsy oasis. Built in 1979, the house was designed by the late Ralph Rapson, an influential architect who was once the head of the School of Architecture at the University of Minnesota.

Embodying a natural aesthetic, the contemporary home seamlessly connects to its surroundings through its collection of windows, large screened porch and warm, earthy hues. The house offers three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, lofty ceilings and warm-toned wood flooring. One of its two fireplaces — a soft gray brick structure that slices through the living and dining room on the

main level— is a real statement piece, as are many of the house’s modern accents and lighting fixtures. The airy kitchen features towering windows, quartz countertops, a travertine tiled floor and a vaulted, wood-planked ceiling. A family room, on the lower level, opens to a gazebo and the expansive grounds.

List price: $950,000. Taxes: $9,671. Contact Joseph Briggs, real estate salesperson with Houlihan Lawrence, at 917-975-9926 or jbriggs@ houlihanlaw-rence.com.

a new facility I listened in disbelief. The last few years have seen rehabilitation and repurposing of numerous historic buildings. The Knights of Pythias Hall/Bonesteel Furniture building in West Sand Lake is now Dater House Americana Antiques. The old Nash/Horton Store is nearing completion as the Sand Lake Mercantile.

celebrations and to position the nonprofit to grow and serve all community members.

This year is the bicentennial of the Christmas favorite poem, “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” which was first published in the Troy Sentinel in 1823. That is followed by the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in 2026, then in 2027 comes the bicentennial of the Hart Cluett House and the centennial of the museum, formerly known as the Rensselaer County Historical Society.

Sheehan can trace part of her family history to Sand Lake in the 1750s. She comes from a family that is proud to share its stories. Sheehan found that her interest in history led her to major in public history at the University at Albany and to work at the museum 36 years ago as a curatorial assistant. Eventually Sheehan became the city and county historian and the museum’s educator.

“I love having Rensselaer County roots. The history is in my blood,” she said.

Sheehan has become the go-to person for the county’s local history.

“It’s a great next step for the museum. It’s a great next step for Kathy with her experience of 36 years,” said Karin Krasevac-Lenz, a former executive director at the museum.

We are also grateful for the hard work of Janis and Marty Keary and Kevin Tighe for bringing back to life the Old Daley Inn at the Crooked Lake Hotel and the Glass Lake Inn. A great investment of planning, time and money have gone into restoring these historic buildings. Working together we have made Sand Lake a destination. Please stand and make your voice heard in support of preserving the old firehouse. As a community we should be able to find a way to not only preserve but repurpose this historic structure.

The Sand Lake Historical Society, by the way, needs a home. For more information, call 518 674-2026. Also, come to the Sand Lake Historical Society Gala on May 21, 1:00 at the Arlington House, 518 281-4398 for Gala ticket info.

Sheehan succeeds Starlyn D’Angelo, who resigned as executive director last year. Sheehan stepped in as acting executive director with no plans to seek the position permanently. She will continue with her historian duties while the museum board has agreed to hire a deputy director to help with operations and an educator to help with programs.

“We can help people understand the history that’s right under their noses,” Sheehan said about telling the local stories.

“Be at tourist in your own county,” she said, urging residents to take a drive and explore the county’s 14 towns and two cities.

those who have been ignored in traditional historical accounts. She has pushed to bring forward the county’s rich Black history. She can name Abigail Littlefield as perhaps the first woman to be a pharmacist in the county showing another aspect of ignored history.

When it comes to pieces of local history Sheehan enjoys, she points to the chamber pot owned by Samuel Wilson, the inspiration for the iconic Uncle Sam personification of the United States, a letter from Black resident Charles Gidiney describing the draft riots in 1863 in Troy and the county surrogate court records from 1791 to 1916 in the museum archives.
