ALBANY COUNTY — June 22 was the first day of summer — the longest day of the year and, here in Albany County, the hottest.

Albany County was mapped in magenta by the National Weather Service on Thursday for “extreme” heat.

At one point, as Soares railed against the reforms that allow defendants to see information on witnesses ahead of a trial and Kindlon responded by defending the practice, the moderator, Corey James of Spectrum News, asked the rumbling audience to “keep it down.” Ambrosio leaned back from the table, announcing the other two could fight it out.

Guilderland is on the cusp of forming a District Facilities Committee to map out the district’s next capital project. It will dovetail with work currently underway by a Future Ready Task Force.

The National Weather Service forecast is that Albany County will be labeled red for “major” on Tuesday and Wednesday; magenta for “extreme” on Thursday, then back to “major” on Friday before returning to “moderate” over the weekend.

The exemption will apply to construction or reconstruction that took place after Jan. 1, 2023 and will continue to apply only while the parent or grandparent lives there. The exemption applies for people 62 or older who use the space as their primary residence.

The Hudson River shipping channel is used commercially for access to the Port of Albany from points south; large vessels and tankers are often seen passing the park. Conflict arises between recreational boaters and the wakes created by large commercial boat traffic, the study says, adding that large vessel wakes have caused damage to docks and bulkheads in the park.

Sullivan’s book quotes the Enterprise’s Voorheesville correspondent: “A new fad is taking place in this village. For instance, if a person happens to indulge too much in a certain drink and gets in a comatose condition, some of the ‘smart ones’ applies a mixture of oil and lampblack to their physiognomy.” Sullivan likens this to tarring and feathering on the streets of Voorheesville.
