H.O.P.E. Pets for Adoption
Oliver is a Bassett/King Charles mix who is a very sweet and loving dog. Oliver has attended several adoption clinics and has behaved well, getting along with the people and dogs that were there. He's good with dogs and cats.
Like all HOPE dogs, Oliver is neutered, up to date on his shots, and micro-chipped. For more information, call Cathy at 518.424.2878.
Calvin is 5-year old St.Bernard/Bloodhound mix who is a very happy and playful dog. He's good with both dogs and cats and is housebroken. Because of his large size (120+ lbs), it is best that he not go to a home with small children.
Daisy is an extremely sweet black and white 1-year old female, who is soft as a bunny! She is very affectionate but still a bit shy. She wants to be held and cuddled but she's not sure who is safe just yet. Daisy is a purring machine and very playful! She loves catnip mice and likes hiding in a cat tunnel. She's very good at using the scratching post and hasn't scratched any furniture. Daisy gets along well with other cats and has lived with a large dog. She likes to rub against people and other cats and deserves a forever loving home!

Mechanicville Bridge Project – by H. Wessell
BALLSTON SPA, April 8– Saratoga County Public Works Commissioner Keith Manz, appearing before the County Public Works Committee, explained that the last hurdle remaining has been surmounted, and the County can accept federal and state funding for the US 4 bridge over the Anthony Kill, on North Central Avenue.
The $3.3 million project (its costs escalated due to issues of old industrial soil pollution) will be funded 80 percent by federal money, 15 percent from the state; and the local share, 5 percent local. It will start in about a month, and be finished in late fall, he expected. Sidewalk and drainage improvements will be included.
He explained that action was now possible, because the County had finally gotten over the hurdle of just one remaining easement request. That, he stressed is important because there "are a number of other bridges in and around the City of Mechanicville."
