BETHLEHEM Four local small businesses that previously received funding from the town of Bethlehem s state-funded Microenterprise Grant Program will be awarded an extra $2,560 each after another unnamed grant recipient had to give up its funding due to the pandemic.
The town decided to split the unused $10,240 grant between four businesses that had not received the $35,000 maximum grant amount. They are Inferno, a Delmar fitness studio; Bombshell Spa in the Four Corners; All Signz and Graphics in Glenmont, and Green House, a healthy foods cafe planned for the former Price Greenleaf garden center in Delmar.

Protests and occupations are not synonymous. Protests are legitimate exercises of our First Amendment right as Americans to peaceably demonstrate and call attention to injustice. Occupations are the illegitimate seizure of public space by individuals for prolonged periods of time who commandeer that space exclusively for themselves until their “demands” are met.
Recent events at the Albany Police Department’s South Station where protestors morphed into occupiers highlight the difference in stark detail. The First Amendment is not a license to defecate, urinate and set fires in the street nor to deface and destroy public property nor to defy law enforcement’s requests to peacefully disperse. Those who engage in such actions only damage the legitimate causes

GREENWICH The Washington County Sheriff s Office and the families of two 10-year-old boys are looking for a fisherman so they can thank him for saving one of the children from drowning Sunday in Cossayuna Lake.
A 10-year-old child in a kayak fell into the water around 2:37 p.m. Sunday, and another 10-year-old in a kayak was able to help the other child hang on to the boat. Neither child was wearing a life jacket, according to the sheriff s office.
