In the Pocket: DiCarlo is still rolling at 98 | The Daily Gazette

Helen DiCarlo will celebrate her 98th birthday on Friday. She fondly remembers a different era in her favorite sport, but despite the many changes in the game over her last seven decades as a participant, she enjoys every minute of her weekly trip to the lanes.
DiCarlo and her daughter-in-law, Patricia, currently roll in the Thursday Morning Senior Mixed league, a spring/summer program at Sportsman’s Bowl. Every time Helen gets up to bowl, she gets a little help from “Patti” to line her up on the approach. Then, she focuses hard on her mark and delivers her shot with surprising dexterity from someone her age. Patti often lets Helen know which pins are left on the deck, since Helen’s eyesight isn’t that great any more, and after she gets lined up again, she concentrates on making the spare.
Foss: Exploring the Binnekill | The Daily Gazette

Peter Pasternak discovered the Binnekill while kayaking.
The small inlet was once a major waterway, where goods such as fur and rum were traded and shipped and people traveling west embarked on their journeys.
A painting by Capital Region artist Len Tantillo, titled “Schenectady Harbor, 1814,” shows the wharves, warehouses and boat-building facilities that grew up around the Binnekill, making it a forerunner to the Erie Canal.
Today the Binnekill is mostly forgotten – a hidden, somewhat anonymous shadow of its former self.
The stream runs behind Washington Avenue in Schenectady’s Stockade Neighborhood and empties into the Mohawk River. It’s bordered by private property, accessible mainly by boat.
