e-edition obituaries | | | | TROY, N.Y. — Each year, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s athletics program invites its student-athletes to select a charity of their choice to highlight and celebrate. This year, the RPI Engineers women’s hockey team selected cancer awareness and support as their cause. On Saturday, RPI held its annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night at Houston Field House during […] | | | | | COLONIE, N.Y. — Saratoga Springs didn't merely survive a momentum-swinging first half on Saturday — the Blue Streaks conquered it, regrouping at halftime and unleashing a dominant, punishing second half effort to defeat Middletown 28–18 in the Class AA state regional quarterfinals at Colonie High School. The win sends the Blue Streaks (10–2) into the state semifinals next Saturday, where they'll meet Section I champion Mamaroneck with a berth in the Class AA Super Bowl on the line. Saratoga Springs' afternoon opened with a burst of electricity. Tasiah LaDore fielded the opening kickoff and blazed 80 yards to the end […] | | | | | COLONIE, N.Y. — Saratoga Springs defeated Middletown, 28-18, in the NYSPHSAA Class AA regional quarterfinals, on Nov. 22, 2025, at Colonie High School, in Colonie, N.Y. | | | | | PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — Schuylerville wasted no time setting the tone in their 50-14 regional final victory against Saranac. Once the Black Horses' run game started rolling, there was no slowing it down. Max Montgomery capped an eight-play, 89-yard opening march with a one-yard touchdown plunge to put Schuylerville on the board early. Although the two-point try failed, the Black Horses were in complete control from the opening series. A 20-yard grab by Blake Cumm on the next possession set up Montgomery's second score, a seven-yard scamper, before Ernie DaCosta hauled in the conversion from quarterback Ben VanVegthen to make it […] | | | | | SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — The Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to honor the memory of transgender and nonbinary individuals who were lost in 2025, either to homicide or to suicide. People in the Capital Region recently gathered to pay their respects and pay tribute to the individuals who died too soon. During the ceremony, members of the transgender/nonbinary community read the 64 names of those who died, followed by a call and response portion. Rauch Passaro was one of the individuals who participated, sharing that they felt very heartened to see a ceremony like this take place in their community. […] | | | | | A New York State Department of Conservation Region 8 colleague regularly captured the most wonderful nature photographs. This time we are sharing a photo Russel captured of the Red-tailed hawk. Elena, a wildlife technician, tell us the Red-tailed hawk is the most commonly seen hawk in New York State. They are also the largest hawk we have; with a wingspan between three-to-four feet and a weight ranging from 1.5-to-3.2 lbs. Adults can be identified by their bright, burnt reddish-orange tails, pale chests with a dark "belt" or "belly band" and brown feathers on their backs, upper wings and head. Immature […] | | | | | Q. I tried removing the lug-nuts on my 2008 Toyota Corolla using a 20-volt Craftsman impact driver with a 21mm black socket to remove tight lug nuts. Is 21mm the correct size for 2008 Toyota Corolla? A. An impact driver (battery or electric) is a handy tool for removing small fasteners but is not made for removing lug-nuts. The correct socket size is 21 millimeters or 13/16ths of an inch. I would get a large breaker bar, or four-way lug wrench to loosen the lugs. If this is something you are going to do often you may want to invest […] | | | | | I willed myself out of the house on what might otherwise have been a sleepy weekend afternoon. The simple song of "It's a beautiful day; you should do something," played on repeat in my consciousness until I could stand it no more and decided that "something" should include something besides laundry and other routine chores. In the olden days — where the watery memories of way back replay a muddled soundtrack of babies that never sleep, toddlers who never sit still, and weekends that taxed our souls with hour-by-hour activities — I would have happily stayed on the couch, under […] | | | | | Despite safety initiatives, U.S. traffic deaths are higher than they were a decade ago. | | | | | Studies increasingly find links between higher concentrations of certain pollutants and the prevalence of dementia. | | | |
