gREEN BURIAlS NOW AvAIlABlE AT vAlE CEMETERYSCHENECTADY – People concerned about the environ-ment are looking at “The American Way of Death” (tip of the hat to Jessica Mitford’s 1963 book by the same title). Typically after death, the body is embalmed with formal-dehyde (a known carcinogen) and placed in a metal or exotic wood casket, which is then placed in a concrete vault and buried. A large carved granite or bronze marker is placed at the grave. Thereafter, the burial site is scru-

pulously maintained by frequent mowing and applications of herbicide and fertilizer. An environmentally friendly alternative is “green burial” does not involve chemicals. Organic products are used. Burial is in a biodegradable wood, wicker, or cardboard container. No concrete vault is used. In time the burial site may become a wildflow-er meadow or even a bird/butterfly habitat. A simple flat marker is placed at the site and the global position-ing satellite coordinates are recorded. The Historic Vale Cemetery in downtown Schenectady is among the first New York State cemeteries to offer green burials in its “Dell.” Vale is a not-for-profit, non-denominational cem-etery founded in 1857. It was designed in the 1850s Rural Cemetery Movement style with lakes, scenic pathways, exotic trees and flora. Fishing is permitted in the lakes where fish, turtles, and aquatic fowl are abundant. Vale Cemetery is contiguous to Vale Park and home to deer, fox, woodchucks, opossums, and nesting hawks. Most recently wild turkeys were observed among the wildlife population. Vale consists of 100 acres (15 city blocks) and is the site of a 5K Run, a bike path, and a playground with public BBQ grills. The cemetery also offers public, school, nature and historic tours (War Heroes, Giants of Industry, Notable Women, The Victorian Lady in Mourning, et al.). It is under 24-hour video surveillance to prevent vandalism and to insure visitor safety. For more information, contact Vale’s office at 346-0423 or the Green burial Council at 1-888-966-3330, or visit Vale on line www.valecemetery.org. To schedule an interview with a Vale Cemetery Board member, Clark Adams, the cemetery superintendent, or the local architect who designed the Green Burial area (Frank Gilmore), you can contact Bernard McEvoy, M.D., Vale Vice President, at 421-0079.

“lOST MOhAWK vAllEY” pRESENTED BY BOB CUDMORESCHENECTADY – Lost Mohawk Valley, presented by Bob Cudmore, on Saturday, October 17, at 2:00pm at Sche-nectady County Historical Society, 32 Washington Ave., Schenectady. Admission: $5.00, free for members of the Schenectady County Historical Society. Life in the Mohawk Valley today is vastly different from generations ago. Long gone are the factory whistles calling workers to their shifts in old mill towns like Amsterdam. Fort Plain still benefits from little-known inventor William Yerdon, and baseball player George Burns, with ties to Gloversville and Utica, was so skilled that fans called left field “Burnsville.” Few realize that a local artist shared a special bond with musi-cian John Philip Sousa. The Tamarack Playhouse was once the venue of spectacular theatricals, and as time goes on there are fewer alumni to remember Amsterdam’s Bishop Scully High School. In “Lost Mohawk Valley”, Bob Cudmore shows that while lost, these and other compelling stories no longer need be forgotten. Join writer, media personality

and teacher Bob Cudmore as he explores the lost history of the Mohawk Valley! For more information, please con-tact Curator Mary Zawacki at curator@schenectadyhistori-cal.org or 518-374-0263. The Schenectady County Histori-cal Society is wheelchair accessible, with off-street parking available.
