Steve needs to just say what he means and mean what he says.....'the people' will always get their 'just reward'.......it is up to the community to make friends....not the politicians.....say it once-mean it and do it.........

Ahhh the coverup by the town per haps? Stevie must have a friend who likes to race and he is keeping it kosher for him. Well at least if there is an uproar, the guy here will have time to have the races since the study Stevie does will take a year before they act

Haven't heard a thing. Although it sounds pretty neat to me.

It's RC car racing. Never been inside, but if you've ever raced RC cars, you wouldn't suspect any illegality there. Just a bunch of kids and adult kids racing cars remotely.

I think it is a great idea! Family fun and a place where you know your kids are.

Have you or anyone else notified the town about this? Perhaps you or someone could take some pictures and bring them to a town board meeting,
'for the record'.

Erie Canal in Rotterdam Junction not what it was

    I really enjoyed your Aug. story on the history of Rotterdam Junction.
    I grew up in Rotterdam Junction. We lived in an historic old house setting along the Erie Canal. It was originally a boarding house for the travelers on the canal and for the mule tenders that pulled the boats along the towpath. We spent our winters ice skating and playing hockey with the kids in town; summers were spent floating around on homemade boats and fishing.
    I am sad to say that the Erie Canal, with all its history, has turned into a real eyesore. The auto junkyard located on the banks of the canal in lower Rotterdam Junction has turned a beautiful waterway into a polluted uninhabitable mess. The oil, gas, battery acid and whatever else was contained in the hundreds of cars that line the canal bank have leached into the water for over 30 years.
    The canal is so contaminated that the beaver and fish are all gone. This is visible from the bicycle path along Mabie Lane. The weeds and undergrowth make it hard to see in the summer, but it’s all there. The canal empties into the Mohawk River, and also the Rotterdam aquifer. How this has been tolerated all these years is beyond belief. Everyone talks about how bad it is, but no one does anything about it. This is a piece of our history; it could be a beautiful park and picnic area.
    I don’t believe the town of Rotterdam realizes what a prize it is losing.
