Goff School Turns 50!

Celebrating Half a Century

By Catherine Sager

East Greenbush

 

On Wednesday, December 8th, Goff Middle School celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a day packed with special events.

Students and staff arrived before school to watch Principal, Ryan Groat and Assistant Principal, Steve Taylor open the time capsule that had been placed inside the building’s cornerstone 50 years ago.


The items within the copper lined box were newspapers from 1960, a full set of uncirculated U.S. coins from 1959, and a history of East Greenbush on its 100th Anniversary. There was also a playbill from the East Greenbush Centennial Committee's "Forever Young," an historical pageant. The show was written, directed and produced by Robert J. Shillinglaw and performed on Saturday, July 2, 1955.  Perhaps the most interesting item left inside the box was roll of white paper with a hand-written list with the signatures of student and employee from 1960.

Helping stop DWI

Janice Thomas' son Frank was killed by a drunk driver.

On Saturday, December 4, Ms. Thomas stood on Route 9J in Castleton handing out flyers to passersby reminding them that Drunk Driving is the most preventable cause of death.  With the smallest effort the devastation of the senseless loss of a loved one could be avoided.

Janice Thomas and some supporters

The literature handed to drivers simply stated that "Drunk Driving is Never Serious, until it becomes serious."

Notice of Public Hearings

Schodack NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS December 9 on long awaited Comprehensive Plan for Schodack at Town Hall.

This Thursday, the 20 plus years long awaited response to the call for a Town Master Plan will come up before the Town Board. This is an only lightly altered version of the Plan created by a committee of the Town Planning Board in collaboration ($40,000 worth) with Laberge Engineering and presented at the Maple Hill High School in January 2009. It presents pretty much the same only very general outline and principles for a vision of Schodack. It can be viewed using the link at the Town Website shown below.

 

In terms of importance for the direction a Town takes, a good clear Comp Plan can provide a very constructive vision of the way forward.

 

Does this plan take us anywhere? What do you think?

 

Please try to attend the Thursday Town Board hearing to provide your input and to listen to the input of others, as well as, to the Town Board and Supervisor. Please come and ask your questions and let the Board know how you feel before they vote to approve this plan.

 

Will this Plan accomplish anything or direct us anywhere?
