BERNE — Emily Vincent is carrying on a legacy.

A sheep farmer in Berne, Vincent had a brain tumor removed in January of 2020.

“After I got out of my surgery, I had just the most horrendous vertigo that you could ever have,” recalls Vincent in this week’s Enterprise podcast. “It was really hard.”

A large warehouse for BBL Carlton caught fire on Friday afternoon and its roof collapsed.

An acrid odor filled the air as a Colonie police officer stopped traffic about a mile from the site on Kings Road. At 4:15 p.m., he said he'd been on duty for two hours.

GUILDERLAND — “Computers are becoming more and more pivotal to the education of our youth,” said James Connors, who works with the Intel Retail Edge Program.

There are pitfalls in using a fund balance or reserve accounts to balance a budget, Andrew Van Alstyne cautioned. “The metaphor we use is a fiscal cliff,” he said. Continued use of these funds to balance a budget creates a gap that ultimately leads to budget cuts.

Able to spread more rapidly than other sublineages, XBB.1.5 has the highest rates in the New York City, Long Island, and the Mid-Hudson regions, the health department says, adding that these regions have also had the most elevated case rates in New York State since November 2022.

GUILDERLAND — René Savoie has been a logger for more than 40 years and has never run into a situation like he has been caught up in now in Guilderland.

Savoie has had to stop his operation and has three neatly stacked piles of timber worth about $10,000 that he now can’t move.

VOORHEESVILLE — Julia Young, a student at Clayton A. Bouton High School, is one of 25 seniors in New York State nominated as a Presidential Scholar, a recognition the Regents chancellor called “the pinnacle” — and yet Julia Young is humble.

Several residents have asked the Guilderland Town Board to enact a moratorium while the town’s comprehensive plan is being updated.

 As director of Education and Research at the Association of School Business Officials of New York, Andrew Van Alstyne worked to support members across the state. During the pandemic, he saw what those members had to do to meet the needs that their students and communities faced. “I found it seriously inspiring,” said Van Alstyne, who is now assistant superintendent for business at Guilderland.

Asked about the high turnover, Guilderland Police chief Daniel McNally told The Enterprise this week that police officers leaving their jobs is a state and national trend. He attributed it to the “negative view of police” held by the public.
