Another Flywheel Failure At The Beacon Plant In Stephentown
by David Flint
The boom caused no damage, but it did shake people’s houses and caused considerable consternation in the neighborhood. Apparently another flywheel at the Beacon Power frequency regulation plant on Grange Hall Road disintegrated last Thursday night, October 13, between 9 and 9:30 pm. A previous such incident occurred on July 27. This time Sam and Marcia Sowycz who live directly across the road said they had just arrived home when they heard a loud boom and, “It felt like the whole house shook and shuddered.” They then met some neighbors out on the road who reported that their houses shook also and one of them said he smelled smoke. At that point the Sowycz’s called 911.

by Kieron Kramer
There were only four Berlin Town Board Members at the Town Board meeting on Thursday, October 13. Jim Saunders was not present because he had resigned from the Board at the Workshop meeting held in late September. He had appeared at the workshop, handed over his letter of resignation before the meeting started and left, according to Town Supervisor Rob Jaeger. Saunders had served on the Board since being elected in 2005 and still had two years to serve on his present term. No reason for Saunders’ resignation was given. After announcing the news at Thursday’s meeting Jaeger said, “We thank James for his time and effort to be on the Board; not everyone always agrees, but it is a big commitment to be on the Board.”
