“We’ve got things to put over his ears. We’ve got tranquilizers. And we‘re not leaving the house. We wouldn’t dare leave him out during the Fourth of July weekend, because they’ve already started this week,” she said. “As it gets closer to the Fourth, it’s probably just gonna get worse.”
Aceto, who lives in the General Electric Realty Plot neighborhood, said Enzo, a 4-year-old mixed breed, “basically just goes nuts – shaking, panting and he won’t stay still” when offenders shoot off fireworks. “He runs from room to room.”

SCHENECTADY – The City Council on Monday tackled the problem of off-road vehicles illegally ridden on public streets and parks by enacting a redemption fee against offenders that was modeled after Albany’s recent law.
“I want to thank my colleagues,” said Councilwoman Karen Zalewski-Wildzunas, the legislation’s sponsor. “I think this was good legislation that was passed tonight. “I look forward to the police having the ability to ensure that we have safer streets.”
Under the legislation, all-terrain vehicles, off-highway motorcycles, dirt bikes, dune buggies, go-carts and all other motorized trail bikes are prohibited from city streets, highways, parks and trails. Any person found guilty of operating an off-road vehicle is subject to a fine of up to $500, or imprisonment of up to 15 days, or both.
