Monday, she was overjoyed as she told The Enterprise that the antique windows of the fair's his- toric flower building, destroyed by vandals, may soon be re- placed by sympathetic locals. But, on Tuesday, she called back near tears to report that the damage to the windows was much more extensive than ex- pected. Last week, about 20 of the flower building's century-old windows were smashed by van- dals who threw rocks at them; no one has been arrested. The cul- prits are unknown and Guilder- land Police Lieutenant Carol Lawlor said this week that the case is still under investigation. After reading about the van- dalism in The Enterprise, three village residents called the fair and offered to donate glass for the flower building, Fuller said Monday. She was distressed last week as she described the loss at the building. Its bottom windows were in good condition and con- tained the original glass. After the vandals destroyed the glass, Fuller said, she didn't know how the fair would replace it. It would cost at least $500, she said, to put modern glass in the windows. The three residents who of- fered to donate glass, Fuller said, live in old homes. They have re- placed their windows with mod- ern ones, but kept the antique glass, she said. \There's been a tremendous outpouring df support from the community,\ Fuller said Mon- day, sounding much brighter than she had before. \They were just touched by the [Enterprise] article.\ In addition to the three resi- dents, another man offered to donate Plexiglas for the win- dows, Fuller said. \He used to be a supplier,\ she said. A television news station also picked up the Enterprise story, Fuller said, and a man in Glens Falls saw that coverage and of- fered to cut the donated glass to fit the flower building's windows. He's been in the antiques business for 41 years, Fuller said, ing is the only structure at the Al- tamont Fair that is close to its original condition. Last June, the fair applied for a $90,000 matching grant from the state to restore the flower build- ing's upper 36 windows and its roof, Fuller said. Still waiting to hear if the grant money will be awarded, the fair would use it to repair and pre- 'There's been a tremendous outpouring of support from the community.' and is experienced in handling old glass. Tuesday afternoon, Fuller called The Enterprise again. She said fair workers measured the panes of the broken windows, so the antiques dealer could figure out how much glass needed to be cut. While measuring, Fuller said, it was discovered that window sashes and mullions — bars di- viding the panes of glass — were so badly deteriorated that new glass can't be installed; the an- tique frames were fragile and were ruined by the vandalism. The flower building was added to the state and national registers of historic places last year. Al- though a few of the fair's other original buildings are still in place, they weren't eligible for the registry because of im- provements made to them over the years. Built in 1896, the flower build- serve the original upper win- dows, Fuller said earlier. On Monday, Fuller said enough glass may be donated to cover the building's upper and lower windows. \If we do get the grant,\ she said, \we'd have money to install the glass.\ Tuesday, however, she said if the grant money were awarded, it might not be enough to replace all the windows. The grant money would have to be used to make the building and windows \historically accurate,\ she said, which is expensive. Fuller sent a copy of the van- dalism article from last week's Enterprise to an official at the state's Office of Parks, Recre- ation, and Historical Preserva- tion and asked him for advice on how to proceed. \Right now we're on hold,\ she said, glumly; she's waiting for his recommendation.

Edwards, D.D.S. After you've had your dental examination, cleaning, X-rays, and other required evalua- tion parameters, it's time to plan the course of treatment which best suits your Individual situation. Your dentist or one of the office staff should identify the areas in your mouth requir- ing care, and explain the necessary dental treatment. In many cases, there may be sev- eral good options available for each individual situation. For example, choices to be consid- ered include: white plastic fillings vs. silver amalgam fillings; a large bonded restoration vs. a crown; a fixed bridge vs. a partial denture; root canal therapy and restoration vs. extraction of a badly broken down tooth; proper timing for elective therapy; and when to refer to a specialist. You, as an informed patient, deserve an understandable explana- tion of your dental needs, treatment options, and recommended sequence of treatment events. The dental treatment plan should also include an estimate of the involved fees for your care, and available payment options. Alternatives to treatment and conse- quences of non-treatment may also need to be discussed. Your decisions for a particular treatment option may be influenced by your \dental history,\ your tolerance of certain conditions and procedures, and your financial resources. You, as an informed patient, deserve a dental treatment plan tailored to best meet your needs and desires. Proper communi- cation between patient and dentist is crucial to achieve this goal. So please, speak with your dentist openly about your concerns and expectations. Presented As A Public Service By The Offices of: STUART F. FASS, D.D.S. and ADAM A.
