of 6A-Poughkeepsie Journal Tuesday, January 2, 1990 Louis Salzmann, 65, dies; was Kingston schools chief By Jim Haviland Journal staff KINGSTON Louis Salzmann, 65, superintendent of schools here until his' retirement last April, died Sunday at Kingston Hospital. He was removed to the hospital last Tuesday night in critical condition after suffering a heart seizure and was placed in the intensive care unit. Mr. Salzmann, who was well known in the community, was succeeded by Vincent Cioni as superintendent of the Kingston Schools Consolidated District when he retired last April. Mr.

Cioni died last fall. Len Cane, president of the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce and a former Kingston School Board member, said Monday he was saddened to learn of Mr. Salzmann's death. "He was a good friend of mine and he had gained a lot of respect in education circles," he said. He recalled that Mr.

Salzmann had become superintendent of schools in 1969, the same year Cane became associated with the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Salzmann succeeded Dr. Wendell Hoover as superintendent. "Lou Salzmann was one of the top school superintendents in New York State," said Cane.

"That was an opinion I formed as a result of my own observations when I served as a board member and from talking to other at various state meetings. He had earned the respect of many people in education circles." Mr. Salzmann had served as superintendent for 20 of his 28 years with the school district, where he started as a teacher. For many years, Mr. Salzmann had resided on Linderman Avenue in Kingston and several years ago had moved to Hurley.

Mr. Salzmann had been active in the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce, serving as a member of the Nominating and Legislative Action committees. He also had belonged to the Kingston Kiwanis Club and the Wiltwyck Country Club. Mr. Salzmann is survived by his wife and four children, including a son, John Salzmann, a Kingston attorney.

A unique feature of the weddings she performs is a "blessing of the home" service for the couples. "In the last 11 years, I've performed about 550 weddings," says Arnold, "and only two couples didn't have the blessing of the home." The minister says she doesn't conduct funerals for the departed, but "celebrations of life" instead. Arnold often goes to calling hours held at funeral homes to talk to relatives and friends of the deceased to gather the material she will include in her celebration of life service, which she types up later at home.

In addition to her divinity degree, she earned a degree from Columbia University in counseling and also is involved in this pursuit with her constituents as well as others. One reason Arnold's services still Area Continued from page 5A are needed is because of'a shortage of ministers today in the Methodist as well as other churches. The shortage, she explains, is why she has stayed on as an interim minister. She said there is a tremendous demand on a minister's time, leaving little time left for family activities or recreation. As a minister, Arnold often worked 12 to 15 hours a day' and sometimes as many as 18 hours.

Although many ministers today do. not want two or three church parishes, Arnold didn't mind serving two churches. "I liked having different congregations," she explained. "They had different needs, but that made it interesting." There were 112 members at the Wingdale church and 200 in the Dover church. Each Sunday, she conducted a 9:30 a.m.

service in Wingdale, then hurried to Dover for an 11 a.m. service. She preached different sermons. In addition to serving as minister at both churches, Arnold played the organ and served as choir director.
