Niskayuna Rowing hauled in nine gold medals in the scholastic division and 13 overall.
The Niskayuna boys’ entries claimed four gold medals Saturday at their second competition in the past 18 months.
“It feels like it’s been a long time,” Niskayuna boys rowing coach Sean O’Brien said. “They spent a great amount of time in small boats over the summer and into the fall, slowly they got to work into some bigger boats, doubles and quads. It was like a technical year, so they are rowing a lot better.”

COUNCILLORS speaking at last Thursday s Tullamore Municipal District meeting expressed their delight that the long awaited shopping centre on Church Road finally got the green light from An Bord Pleanala. This is really going to be one of the major projects which will bring Tullamore forward, said Councillor Sean O Brien They are a local company. They bought this site 49 months ago, they have been very patient, they have gone through a huge planning process. I want to congratulate them and wish them well. We all hope construction will start soon. Onwards and upwards for Tullamore and Offaly, added Cllr O Brien.
And yet as more vaccines are available than ever, uptake is slowing down.
Sean O’Brien, head of Barnstable County’s Department of Health and Environment, said the county is used to dispensing hundreds of vaccines but a recent county vaccination clinic drew only 25 pre-registered individuals and 25 walk-ins.
During a Thursday morning briefing by the Cape Cod COVID-19 Response Task Force, Cyr said he wants to see increased outreach to people of color, who have lower vaccination rates than white residents.
A weekly vaccination report published Thursday by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health shows that while 65% of white Barnstable County residents have received at least one shot, the percentage fell to 42% and 60% for Black and Hispanic Cape Codders.

Cape Cod officials are enthusiastic that summer travel season will now unfold with most COVID-19 restrictions lifted by Memorial Day weekend, but they urged vacationers to be patient and pack their masks as business operators face “lots of questions” transitioning out of the crisis.
For many employers and regional leaders on the Cape, Gov. Charlie Baker’s announcement that remaining COVID-19 restrictions will lift on May 29 rather than the original Aug. 1 target came as welcome news, particularly ahead of the summer tourist season.
Massachusetts will be fully reopened just in time for Memorial Day weekend, Governor Charles D. Baker Jr. announced this week.
Masks will no longer be required, gathering limits will no longer be in place and all businesses will be able to open at full capacity with no pandemic restrictions in place.
By the middle of June, the State of Emergency will be lifted.
In light of this, several stores have announced that customers will not be required to mask up in their buildings, including Stop & Shop.
While the restrictions are being completely lifted by Saturday, May 29, local officials ask that residents consider keeping a mask handy in the event that some businesses continue to require them. State Senator Julian A. Cyr (D-Truro) and Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce chief executive officer Wendy K. Northcross said many businesses, residents and tourists will still be navigating the pandemic throughout the summer.
