GUILDERLAND — Nearly four months after the Bank of America at 1450 Western Ave. was robbed, Ricky W. Hines, 40, of Gloversville, was charged with third-degree robbery.

It was the ninth annual Adoption Day run by The Animal Hospital and Steve Caporizzo — the News 10 ABC weatherman who runs a Pet Connection program — with Healthy Pet Center. According to Caporizzo, about 30 rescue groups and shelters took part. The day brought at least 150 adoptions or applications likely to result in adoptions, Caporizzo said, and $20,000 was raised, with $18,000 handed out to the groups that participated.

At a packed Democratic caucus in Tawasentha Park Thursday, Bryan Clenahan beat Christine Napierski, 153 to 132, to be the nominee for town justice.

GUILDERLAND — Brendan Barrow will perform Sammy Nestico’s “Persuasion” as a saxophone soloist at the Guilderland Town Band’s final concert. He chose to play Persuasion because it reflects Nestico’s  jazzy style, but shows off the more classical tone of playing the saxophone, which he prefers.
