I can barely type the numbers without feeling a little shocked. Me, 60 - how did this happen? An age I still associate with retirement, pensions, Wallace Arnold coach trips and blue rinses. When I was young that is what 60 meant. Sixty was seriously OLD. By that age many people had left work. Companies rarely allowed you to stay on beyond retirement age, which at that time, for women, was 60. In those days it was an age at which you joined Darby & Joan clubs, ate pensioner specials in smoky pub corners and sat in in village halls of an evening enjoying beetle drives (for anyone under 40, it’s a game - nothing to do with cars).

JOHNSTOWN Because the Gloversville-Johnstown Wastewater Treatment Facility is such a vital operation treating waste from mainly the two cities, the facility is trying to button down work spaces in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Gloversville-Johnstown Joint Sewer Board, which oversees the operation, met in a rare special session Monday night.
Johnstown Councilman-at-Large Craig Talarico, a sewer board member, said Wednesday that the main purpose of the meeting was to go over a plan formulated by facility Manager Wallace Arnold.
“Because of the COVID issues, we’re concerned,” Talarico said. “The [sewer] plant can’t shut down.”
JOHNSTOWN The Gloversville-Johnstown Joint Sewer Board recently reviewed three contracts impacting plant operations.
The board renewed a contract with Precision Industrial Maintenance Inc. for disposal of septic and industrial strength waste for two years. The contract was done at the same terms with new rates of 9 cents per gallon for septic waste and 11 cents per gallon for industrial strength waste. The contract is effective Jan. 1 and runs through Dec. 31, 2022.
On the recommendation of Gloversville-Johnstown Wastewater Treatment Facility Manager Wallace Arnold, the board also approved a request to renew a National Grid wastewater disposal contract for the remediation site at Hill Street in Gloversville. The three-year deal has the same terms and runs through Dec. 31, 2023. The cost is $0.006 per gallon.
