MACSC “Friendraiser” a Success
They called it a “Friendraiser”, and it was truly a gathering of friends when the staff and Board of Directors of the Mechanicville Area Community Services Center hosted a get-together at the Italian Fraternal Hall on Friday evening to introduce their new volunteer initiative which Board President Sam Carabis says is being called “Friends of the Community Center”.
The initiative is calling on members of the community to sign on as volunteers and give whatever time and effort they can to help out the staff with the many excellent programs and events the center provides for the people of the Greater Mechanicville community throughout the year. Help is always needed for such happenings as holiday food and gift distribution, the Firecracker Run, Locker Stockers, the Community tree lighting, community dinners and other special events throughout the year.

South Street Project Slowed
By Harold Wessell
MECHANICVILLE, Oct. 10 – The South Street Hill road project had become about ten days behind schedule at the time of last week's City Council meeting.
Accounts Commissioner Mark Seber, talking later with the Express said he had attended a construction meeting earlier the day of the meeting; and was told that the project was, overall, going well but has lost some time because the wall work itself is not moving at the expected pace. Mayor Anthony Sylvester said a reason for project delays was that some of the stones were late getting in. "They were hoping do a hundred stones a day, but only been able to do about 70-80 a day. It’s a lot more work. The stones are heavier, but they've been moving them up."

City Parking Amnesty, Then Enforcement
By Harold Wessell
MECHANICVILLE, October 3 – City officials announced on October 3 plans to offer a temporary, partial amnesty to scofflaws with long-outstanding parking tickets issued in the City.
At the City Council's first meeting of the month, Chief of Police Joseph Waldron outlined the program, which he had in recent weeks been discussing with Mayor Anthony Sylvester.
The amnesty, which will be in effect only during this November and December, would consist in forgiving – for those with tickets who respond – the accrued late fees, not the original fines.
