By PETE DEMOLA
ALBANY — Thirty-five years ago today, residents awoke to the unexpected wallop of a monster snowstorm. It came with little warning, and the region has seen nothing like it since.
A freak blast dubbed “Fall’s Snowy Crippler” by the Times Union dumped half a foot or more of wet, sticky snow on the area on Oct. 4, 1987, bringing down leaf-laden trees, leaving thousands without power, canceling school for several days and upending all conventional
wisdom about fall weather.
There’s been nothing like the storm since — and there’s still nothing meteorologists can do by way of warnings that would stop the damage wrought by such a weather event.
But technological improvements now help experts have a clearer picture of unexpected turns in storm systems and their magnitude.
The night before, light rain fell. As the storm formed above the Capital Region, cold air came down from Canada and the storm stalled instead of getting pushed out to the Atlantic Ocean as usual. A low-pressure system resulted in the precipitation falling as snow, said Neil Stuart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service who was a sophomore at the University at Albany at the time.
“That was an atmospheric process that was not well understood back in the 1980s,” Stuart said.

By KATHLEEN MOORE
Exacerbating factors included ocean waters that were still warm, which sucked up more moisture. Paired with the presence of leaves on trees, the damage was extensive, jamming emergency rooms, leaving major roads impassable and knocking out power to 270,000 homes, especially those in rural parts of Rensselaer and Columbia counties.
“You had a bad combination of more things to stick to, and (the snow) was stickier than
SAND LAKE — Averill Park High School graduate Liam Rounds is one of the few students nationwide to get a perfect score on his Advanced Place Art final — a feat that requires submitting a robust body of work for judging.
Now, Rounds is hoping to turn his talent into a career in fabric design and even fashion with the help of a partial scholarship he received to the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design.
“I’m really into queer art, advocacy art,” the 18-year-old said. “Avant-garde fashion and political activism. Admittedly it’s a very niche thing.”
He chose Rhode Island School of Design partly because the school emphasizes finding ways to make a living with art.
usual, which added to the damage in the area,” said Nick Bassill, an atmospheric scientist at the University at Albany who works with the Mesonet, a statewide grid of weather monitors based at the university.
Weather forecasting uses observation-fueled modeling, a system that was less sophisticated three decades ago, Bassill said.
As such, the storm was forecast as rain.
“Fall’s Snowy Crippler” triggered substantial research over the next decade, leaving a legacy of improved forecast models.
“Hopefully in a general big-picture sense, people have noticed how much forecasting has improved since 1987,” Stuart said. “There are far fewer surprises than back in the 1980s.”
Mesonet now collects weather observations from 126 sites across the state, including rainfall totals, wind speeds and temperatures, offering forecasters greater accuracy and precision.
The system was created following Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Super-storm Sandy a year later, which caused billions of dollars in flood damage in New York.
“Their focus about making an employable space for yourself,” he said.
Until the pandemic began, Rounds was making traditional two-dimensional art. But the shutdown, cutting him off from his high school art studio, forced him to think creatively with the few resources he had at home.
“When I finally got into my groove in art, the world shut down,” he said. “But it was kind of cool, isolated in myself.”
He began scanning in his drawings and then adding to them in graphic design programs.
“It’s so cool how you can expand what you can do physically. I’ll paint something first and then I’ll go paint on top of it digitally,” he said. “It’s elevating what you can paint with

Trunk or Treat at Gilead
Lutheran Church, Sunday, October 30
Halloween is actually Monday, October 31, 2022 but we made the decision to celebrate it a day early. It gives our “truckers” more time to get ready for our visitors.
That is a good point for us but it also frees up time for our little friends to go out again on Monday for more loot. Our trunks open at 3:00 PM and will close at 5:00 PM.
If you enjoy watching the little one dress up but don’t have children of your own to take around, please feel free to come and hand out candy and goodies with us. Just to let you know, we have had close to 200 little visitors each year.
In 2021 we had some of our canine friends stop by, some in costume and other just stop by for a pat on the
head.

I was honored to join Brownie Girl Scout Troop 1762 on September 11 as they unveiled a new plaque and landscaping at the 9/11 memorial site at the Schodack Town Park as part of their Journey and Take Action Project initiative.

Glendora Vegeterian Club
October 1st is National Vegan Day. Make the whole month of October Vegan Month. The National Vegetarian Society used to give cash prizes to people who went vegan for one day or one week or one month, up to $1000.
Also, we offered the pope $1,000,000 for the poor if he would go vegan, and we offered former President Donald Trump $1,000,000 for veterans if he would go vegan. However it didn’t happen. What good did these promotions do?
Glendora speculates that they augmented a huge increase in fast food and supermarket veganism which is spiraling today before your eyes. The Phil Eddy Vegan Show is going to take you on tours of the big supermarkets to show what vegan foods they have, what are the best buys and what are the tastiest recipes. He will also show you nutritious and delicious vegan meal preparation.
Glendora, what do you like best about veganism? The answers: harmlessness and health.
Jokes

3. They make cars, telephones and computers that talk. We need a washing machine that talks and tells you what it did with the other sock.
4. Why did they invent the upside down lighthouse? It’s for submarines.
5. What do you call a veterinarian who specializes in elephant skin disease? A pachydermatologist.

Clean, Green and Affordable: Switching to Biofuels Helps the Environment Without Costly Renovations
By Anne Craig
ooking for ways to be part of the solution?
Main-Care Energy, a longtime Capital Region leader in fuel delivery and HVAC, is right there with you. That’s why they carry a full line of cleaner, greener biofuels that help you reduce your home or business carbon footprint immediately, without the need to invest in a major energy retrofit.
“We’re fully committed to finding affordable ways to reduce emissions, and our Bioheat costs the same as traditional heating fuels, yet it reduces emissions considerably,” says Gregory Childs, VP of Corporate Services at Main-Care. “Choosing Bioheat becomes even more affordable when you factor in the New York State income tax credit for residential consumers -- we send you the form and the exact number to enter. Who doesn’t like saving on their taxes? Bioheat is a cleaner fuel that actually pays you back, making heating your home even more affordable.”
Bioheat is produced from biomass, rather than fossil fuels. It can be produced from plants such as soybean, or from certain agricultural, commercial, domestic, and/or industrial by-products.
Bioheat is the heating oil industry’s official registered name for the blend of traditional heating oil with renewable biodiesel. In order for a fuel to be called Bioheat, it can only be made with biodiesel that meets the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The result is a clean-burning fuel used to heat homes with benefits to system performance, human health, energy security, and global climate change.
Bioheat can be used in existing oil heat systems with no modifications -- in fact, it burns more efficiently and will keep your mechanical systems in better shape -- and Childs says customers love having a greener option that doesn’t require major investment. “They say a heat pump installation will run about $20,000, but it can run as high as $40,000. The state’s pushing to get everything electrified, and electrification has its place, but air source heat pumps just aren’t there yet when

it comes to handling the temperatures of a New York winter.”
Main-Care has been working with Bioheat for a decade now, and no longer delivers traditional heating oil. “We live here too; we want clean air and clean water. Everyone does,” says Childs. “So we’ve really been pushing people in this direction, along with our partners and friendly competitors in our industry. We know we have a good answer here, an alternative to the alternative.”
It’s a logical development for Main-Care, founded in 1930 by two brothers who left the company to its employees when they passed in 1960. The company is still 100% employee owned to this day. “We have about 130 employee-owners, and we all share in profits and success,” says Childs. “We’re very conscientious, because what’s best for our customers is best for Main Care.”
And what’s best for customers, he firmly believes, is being empowered with the information to choose what works best for them. “Ultimately, we believe that diversified energy sources are the key to energy security. Right now, if you install a heat pump, anyone worth their salt will tell you not to rip out your old heating system, because heat pumps just don’t work efficiently when it gets really cold and you’ll need a backup.”
Main-Care’s Bioheat can reduce air pollution by 50%, while burning so efficiently that your overall consumption may go down -- a win/win that Main-Care is happy to add to their blend of superior products and services. “And we’re here for you, 24/7/365. If you need us at 3 am, you don’t get an answering service, you’ll always get an employee-owner.”

Rezone of Parcel for Auto Repair Shop Bad Idea for North Greenbush
On October 13, the North Greenbush town board
comments concerning
hold a public hearing at town hall
potential rezoning of
at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Bloomingrove Drive, the southern gateway to our town.
The applicant, an existing auto repair facility currently located off of Route 4, is seeking to have this parcel rezoned from “Neighborhood Business” to General Business so it can relocate and operate an auto repair facility there. The town board should deny this application. Six years ago, North Greenbush painstakingly reworked its zoning code with the aid of numerous community volunteers and staff. At that time, it was determined that the southernmost gateway to the town, featuring several historic structures including the Bloomingrove Reformed Church and the Van Alen homestead, should be zoned neighborhood business.
This designation would permit businesses such as medical offices, hair salons and certain restaurants and promote a “hamlet like” feel. Yet only six years after the town rezoning, this auto repair facility is seeking town board approval to “spot zone” this one parcel in the town’s last remaining historic district. North Greenbush residents-think about how you want visitors to view your town! With Chick fil A and Aldis soon to be constructed
STORM
on Route 4, there will be many folks from outside the area exiting Interstate 90 from Exit 8. Don’t we want them to react positively to the image of our town? Don’t we want them to say, “North Greenbush is a really lovely place! “Do we really want an auto repair facility to greet people as they arrive into town? There are other concerns as well, such as potential groundwater contamination from chemicals used at the facility. That neighborhood still relies on septic and well. If you agree that this rezone is a bad idea, then come to North Greenbush Town Hall on Thursday, October 13 at 6:30 pm and let the town board know.

Rensselaer County Has Treatment Court
I read the letter to the editor written by Michael Myer of North Greenbush suggesting that Rensselaer County should consider a DUI court like they have adopted in Sullivan County.
Rensselaer County has such a program.
When I took the bench in 2013, I coordinated with the Rensselaer County Probation Department, District Attorney and Public Defender to begin such a program.
Additionally, I oversee another diversionary program (“drug court”) which provides nonviolent offenders who commit crimes because of their addiction a chance at treatment rather than incarceration.
Both programs require defendants to plead guilty to a felony, sign a contract with the court requiring them to remain drug and alcohol free, remain arrest free, participate in treatment and take observed unannounced drug tests. Defendants are subject to intense supervision by probation and must appear in court at least every two weeks for a status hearing. The program lasts between 18-24 months. If defendants violate the rules, they are sanctioned and termination from the program usually results in a period of incarceration.
I have written two separate grants and obtained $800,000 in federal grant money to improve treatment court (Rensselaer County Drug Court uses grant to give opioid addicts new start, Ken Crowe 5/29/18) specifically directed at the opiate epidemic which has plagued our county for many years. I also have piloted a new program (Dogs ease stress, bring laughs in Rensselaer County drug court, Robert Gavin, 9/5/22) using therapy dogs in court sessions. Additionally, I am currently the President the New York Association of Treatment Court Professionals which is the statewide organization devoted to the advancement of treatment courts.
I would invite anyone who is interested in treatment courts to come to the County Courthouse, 80 2nd Street, every Thursday at 1 p.m. to observe my programs in action.
Judge Debra Young, Rensselaer County Court Judge

The lack of data collection points in rural areas created information gaps, which the state sought to remedy with the system.
If Mesonet had existed in the late 1980s, the technology would have allowed for more frequent and accurate observations, giving meteorologists the opportunity to adjust forecasts for “Fall’s Snowy Crippler” in real time.
With stations dotted about every 17 miles in the state, the Mesonet system now offers greater lead times and more accurate predictions, presenting real-time data to forecasters with updates every five minutes.
Data from other sources — including surface networks, weather radar and satellites — is also incorporated in order to improve the weather prediction models.
The result is more confident forecasters and a more prepared public — including utility companies, which can also benefit and plan accordingly.
PARADE
CONTINUED FROM 1
our parade, please meet at the school at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 23. We will step off promptly at 1:00 p.m., and proceed to the Fire House. The traditional Halloween party, with costume judging, prizes, games, refreshments and surprises will immediately follow the end of the parade. As always, admission to the party is free!
So, plan on joining us on Sunday, October 23. It promises to be a fun time for all!
“It’s possible if Mesonet existed with the same computer technology at that time, it may not have helped as much,” Bassill said. “But once the event started happening, it would have helped people to understand in real time.
“It’s possible that the forecast would have been more accurate.”
Yet the system isn’t a crystal ball.
The region saw up to a foot of heavy snow blanket the area on March 2, 2018, a storm that was originally forecast to bring only rain. Thousands of homes and businesses were plunged into darkness.
Mesonet conveyed real-time data to the National Weather Service in Albany once the storm began.
“It let the National Weather Service know that once it started, we were going off the rails for what we thought was going to happen,” Bassill said.
Climate change has also thrown a wrench into weath-

your hands.”
Then he prints out the new version and adds more by hand. At first it was his only way of creating the images he had in mind.
“Then I just really liked the style and I stuck with it,” he said.
For his AP art portfolio, he decided to take risks. Last week, he learned that he was one of the few to get a perfect score.
By then, of course, he was already at Rhode Island School of Design, where he’s planning to major in apparel design.
“I can turn any of my art into prints and textiles. I have over a hundred designs in a book just waiting to be made,” he said.
First, School of Design requires him and all freshmen to do a year of what’s called foundational work. He spends eight hours a day, three days a week, in the art studio.
“I absolutely love it,” he said. “It is amazing. We just stay in the studio, breakfast to dinner. There is something otherworldly about watching your artistic identity develop over the course of the day.”
