The calendar says fall, but the thermometer
says 86 degres - what do you believe? The calendar wins, every time. Renewed
interest in sidewalks in Alplaus was expressed at the September ARA board
meeting. Contact Chris Breslin if you would like to hear more about sidewalks.

Fire Station News
by
Art Harris
Keep an eye out for a public service
announcement put out by the NYS Emergency Management Office. It is for
NY-Alert, a website [www.nyalert.gov] containing vital information in the
event of an emergency. The
commercial was filmed in and around Alplaus, including the firehouse and
Samuel's.
This is not the first time that film crews have been here, back in
March scenes to appear in the upcoming movie Winter of Frozen Dreams
[starring Keith Carradine & Thora Birch] were shot on Hill Street
& Bruce Drive, as well as other locations locally.
In other news, the Annual Fire Department Fund Drive typically
takes place in conjunction with National Fire Prevention Week [October
7-13]. Expect to see our members in your neighborhood handing out
materials. Feel free to stop
them and chat a while, and please contribute whatever you can.
Don’t forget the Halloween party and kids
costume parade on Saturday October 27th, beginning at 1pm.
It will be the perfect thing to keep the children occupied for any
that have need to rest up after the Run-Around, also earlier that day.
What could be more fun than kids, costumes, candy & community?!
27th
Alplaus Run-Around
by Andy Gilpin
The 27th
Alplaus Run-Around will be on Saturday,
October 27, 2007, in Alplaus with two events: a One-Mile Fun Run starting
at 10 am, and a 5K Race at 10:30
am.
Entry fees are $5 for the Fun Run, $10 for the 5K Run. Both events
start and finish at the Alplaus Fire House at the corner of Alplaus Avenue and
Bruce Drive.
Day of race registration will be open from 9:15 am until 9:45 am.
We are looking to make this year’s event something special. It could
be a perfect warm-up for the Stockade-a-thon.
Last year the rain and cold made the running very difficult, so we are
looking to rebound this year with a great turn-out.
Prizes will be awarded to top finishers in the overall and age/gender
categories of both races. The 5K will have prizes to the first male and female
finishers, and special prizes to the first male and female from the Alplaus
Fire District.
Pre-registration entry forms are available at the Alplaus Post Office,
the Parkside YMCA, the Clifton Park YMCA and Goldstock’s Sporting Goods, 4
Freeman’s Bridge Road, Scotia.
This annual event is sponsored by the Alplaus Residents Association and the Alplaus Fire Department. For more information, call 366-2675 and ask for Andy Gilpin.
Ladies Auxiliary
by Vicki Watkins The
first event for our fall season was a covered dish supper last Monday
night. It was wonderful to get together again after our summer break.
The food was delicious and we are busy making plans for future
activities.
It’s not too late to sign up for the “Heartsaver
CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Course”
to be held on Thursday, October 11th from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm at the
Firehouse. The
course includes CPR, relief of foreign-body airway obstruction, rescue
breathing and how to use an automated external defibrillator.
These skills can truly be lifesavers.
Class size is limited. Please
call Vicki at 399-0184 to sign up.
|
October 15, 2007.
Enter as many photos as you would like for the $5.00 entry fee.
The photographs will be judged and the best 12 photographs will
be selected for the calendar. You can mail in your entries to
Alplaus Ladies Auxiliary P. O. Box 43 Alplaus, New York 12008 or drop
them off at the Alplaus Post office.
Halloween is just around the corner and we’ll be assisting
the Fire Company with the annual Halloween
Parade and Party for the kids on October 27th.
Please join us at the fire station for lots of fun, tricks and
treats.
We are continuing to collect donations for the Schenectady
Battered Women’s Shelter.
They are especially in need of school supplies this time of
year. A collection box is
located in the Post Office.
Our next meeting will be on Monday, October 22nd at
7 pm at the Firehouse. If
you are interested in attending or learning more about us, please call
Vicki at 399-0184.
