Price Chopper presents plan for Slingerlands By Mel Hyman It's trimmed down, and seemingly more palatable, but will it fly? The Golub Corporation will ask the Bethlehem Town Board tonight for a zoning change· so it can construct a 95,000square-foot Price Chopper Center on a 30acre site at the junction of New Scotland Road and Cherry Avenue Extension. The project, which would be bordered by LeGrange Road on the south, is currently zoned "M" residential. It is the same site where a much larger commercial/residential developmentthat included a Price Chopper was proposed in 1987 and ultimately rejected.

The project, which would provide Bethlehem with a much sought after "second supermarket," appears to conflict with the recommendation made by the town's Land Use Management Advisory Committee. LUMAC's position, as spelled out in the . draft master plan it recently submitted to the town board, recommends that rezoning of this 15-acre parcel only be allowed when sufficient infrastructure is in place to solve traffic congestion problems existing between Cherry Avenue Extension and the Slingerlands Bypass. Plans are already in the works to widen Route 85 (New Scotland Road) to four

lanes between the Blue Cross/Blue Shield complex and Cherry Avenue Extension, but consti-uction of an extension of the bypass is not expected to occur before the year 2000. Funding has been approved for planning, design and right-of-way acquisition

for the bypass extension, but construction funds have not yet been OK'd. "Maybe they have some brilliant idea that we don't know about," said LUMAC chairman] effLipnicky. "If they have some way to mitigate the impact on traffic 0 CHOPPER/page 21

La.ck of bridge 'etiquette' makes woman tree hugger By Mel Hyman When Jackie Gallagher wakes up on warm weather mornings like these, she walks across the street with her cup of coffee and sits along the bank of the Normanskill watching the Blue Heron dip and soar.

V'ville girls make softball history By Kelly Griffin The Voorheesville High softball team made history three times in the last week and a half. First, the Blackbirds won the Colonial Council championship. Then they went on to win Section II's Class C title. And lastly, the team captured the combined Section II Class C-CC crown by defeating the CC champion, Broadalbin-Perth. These spirited young ladies are now on their way to Arlington, Dutchess County, today, June 8, to compete in a regional match with an eye toward the state softball title. A win over Taconic Hills on Thursday, June 2, advanced Voorheesville to the finals against a formidable Greenwiclc team on Saturday, June 4.

"I was worried about their (Greenwich's) seniors," said Voorheesville head coach Chris Cannata. 'They had a lot of excellent athletes, and they all had a lot of experience."

also provide appropriate special effects like stop action, filters and strobe-light, he noted. "Foraclose-upshotoftherings, we can have one image in the center, with four images rotating around it in a prism effect," Riccardo said. After editing, mostweddingvideos are about 90-minutes long. Riccardo's wedding videos begin with pictures of the couple as children, accompanied by music of the couple's choice. He then captures highlights of the ceremony and the traditions surrounding· the reception, like cutting the cake and catching the bouquet .Since most still photographers charge extra for "table shots" of reception gnests, a videographer "can pan around to get everybody" as part of the reception coverage, Riccardo said. Unlike many amateurs who pan too quickly and "all you see is a blur," a professional videographer will pan slowly "so you can see the faces clearly," he said. The last part of a Riccardo video features still pictures from the honeymoon, again accompanied by music chosen by the couple. Videography services are separate from still photographer's services, and usually cost $400 and up, Riccardo said. Primarily a still photographer, Riccardo said he can arrange a package deal including videography for a reduced price.

Tips for the big day Eat a light breakfast to boost your energy for the day. Start with a bowl of oatmeal or natural cereal with fruit or nuts and skim milk. Have a grapefruit, glass ofjuice and cup of decaffeinated coffee or " tea.

Weddingmoons grow more popular Chances are you're invited to at least one wedding this year and, according to "Modern Bride" magazine, it will be in the summer or fall - the busiest times for weddings. Ofthe nearly 2.5 million couples who will marry this year, many will opt for the traditional hometown wedding. However, more and more couples are forsaking the traditional wedding and whisking ~ off to an exotic location to "tie the knot." Call it eloping '90s style, but the bridal industry calls the trend "destination weddings." "A number of factors have contributed to an increase in 'destination weddings,"' said Cele Lalli, editor of "Modern Bride."

Settle money matters first· When most women approach the commitment of marriage, they talk about where they will live, whether they will work, whether they will have children and how many. According to financial planners, they rarely consider money -one of the most sigtJificant· factors in divorce- to the depth that it requires. Most women of previous generations chose to yield or abdicate responsibility for the personal investing decisions and activity to their husbands. Today, men who have the knowled~e and interest to manage family finances usually do not have the time to do so adequately in addition to the demands of their jobs. So, what is the answer? Should women demand hands-on control of all the accounts? Not according to Alexandra Harris, editor ofthe magazine 'Winning Strategies." Harris believes the answer is one of balance, where both parties discuss openly and honestly ·their knowledge, their fears, their goals and ideas pertaining to money. As a couple, she said, the emphasis is on two people joining together to share a life. It":ould be a wi:"' mo_ve to consult with a financial planner early m the relationship to establish a financial plan with which both are comfortable. Neither one should make all the decisions withoutthe input of the other, she stressed. Even if the husband does not believe his wife knows anything about money, he may be surprised. Women have run expanding households on contracting incomes,fed and -' clothed their families, for generations. · Today, despite the gender-biased expenses and salary gap, women often already own property when they meet thetr husbands have their own car's and have money in the bank: 'We're notdu~b,"Harris said."As a group, we just lack confidep.ce with

Bridal tea is a time-honored tradition Old-fashioned event can fit in with today's lifestyle

In our mother's and grandmother's time, a bridal tea party was given before a wedding by close friends ofthe bride. It was a festive, all-female event, similar to the modern-day bridal shower. The purpose of the tea party was purely social. It was a time for members of the bride's and· groom'sfamilytogettoknoweach other before the big event. In keeping with the etiquette of the era, guests were invited on a weekday afternoon between the hours of 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Tea was served by waiters or friends, usually from a silver tea service, accompanied by light refreshments of delicate sandwiches, fruit or pastries. Accordingtoweddingplanners, changes in lifestyles a,nd the increasing number of women workingoutsidethehomeprobablycontributed to the decline of the oldfashioned bridal tea. But, with a few changes in schedule and scope, today's brides can still enjoythiswarmandfriendlycustom. To update the bridal tea for the '90s, planners say' try moving itto a Saturday or Sunday, extend invitations to both men and women, and offer a self-serve buffet with a This sterlilg silver reproduction of a Paul Revere tea service is similar to selection of elegant dessert items. th~se used in old-fashioned bridal teas.

Makeup artists recommend the following tips for lasting beauty on your wedding day: • It's important to remember ·" that you'll be in the spotlight for many hours with few opportunitiesfortouch-ups. For this reason, "low-maintenance" cosmetics should be selected. • You should start a good skin care program several months beforethewedding.Aconscientious regimen with a reliable brand of products, includes daily cleansing, toning, moisturizing and protection of your skin. Hint: Toning, which is done with an astringent or toner, helps makeup look fresher and last. • Just being a bride is enough to make any woman's face glow with joy. Mother Nature sees to that, but even she can use a little help when it comes to putting the right amount of color in just the right places! Choose a blush productthatworks with your skin tone. • Experiment with lipstick shades that work with your skin color. In general, darker colors last longer. Tips for keeping your lipstick looking freshly applied: · Use a lipliner in a shade that matches your lipstick - it will help keep your lipstick from . "bleeding"; blot excess lipstick with a tissue, then reapply; blot again and dust lips lightly with translucent powder. • If being happy makes you cry, you'll probably shed a gallon of tears on your wedding day. That's why it's important to wear a waterproof mascara that will minimize the damage to your face.
