Clove Road School Restoriation The
Town of Schodack has recieved a $10,000
Legislative Member Initiative through the office
of Senator Joe Bruno for restoration of the Clove
Road School in South Schodack. The school
building was completed in 1870 and its structure
now provides a unique oppertunity to preserve one
of the town's remaining outstanding historic
resources. Planned uses are- activity space
for the Town Historian, Historic Preservation
Commission, and the Historical Society of
Esquatak. The money available from this
appropriation will be used to stabliize and
restore the stone foundation and weight-bearing
walls. |

Memorial Plaque in Memory of Dale Johnson
W. Dale Johnson will be forever
memorialized by the placing of a bronze plaque in
the Log Meeting House Cemetary in East
Schodack. Funds were provided by his widow
Carr Johnson. Dale initiated Esquatak's
cemetary restoration project in 1990 when he
approached members to discuss the disgraceful
condition of several rural cemetaries, most
notably the Log Meeting House Cemetary at the end
of Sagendorf Road. One thing led to another
and Esquatak eventually worked in several
cemetaries to cleanup the cemetaries, restore
broken stones, and to record the inscriptions.
The plaque was made with the assistance of Ted
Burek of Century Monuments in Rennselaer.
DiMartini Oil Equipment Services in Glenmont
(Marianne Carner's family business) will make the
stand for mounting the plaque. |
