WESTERLO — Andrew R. Gibson, 42, of Westerlo was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated after a multi-vehicle crash on Route 401 in Westerlo on Sunday that caused critical injuries, according to a release from the New York State Police.

New York State’s guidance, just like the CDC guidance, is still requiring masks and social distancing in schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students; on public transit, in homeless shelters, in correctional facilities, in nursing homes, and in health-care settings. Unvaccinated individuals, under both CDC and state guidance, must wear masks in all public settings.

Senator Michelle Hinchey lauded the $1.4 billion increase in state aid for education in this year’s budget, bringing the total to $29.5 billion, which for Guilderland meant a jump in state aid of $2.1 million to $27.2 million. About a quarter of Guilderland’s $105 million proposed budget for next year is funded by state aid.

An appraisal is the first step toward an attempt to sell the 350-acre property, and it follows a failed lawsuit brought by residents to strip the land of a conservation easement and sell it back to the Buddhist organization the town acquired it from in 2014. 

“Once you are fully vaccinated … you do not need to quarantine,” said Albany County Health Commissioner Elizabeth Whalen.

Supervisor Sean Lyons told The Enterprise that the town received fraudulent unemployment claims containing “accurate information” at an “alarming rate.”
