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."

Malta Presbyterian Church – by Sandy McBride

When you drive up Route 9 from Clifton Park to Saratoga Springs these days, you can’t miss Malta.  Impressive new buildings crowd the sides of the highways, a plethora of round-abouts keep your attention focused on your driving.  There are huge hotels, shopping areas, office buildings, restaurants, service stations, a Rescue Squad facility and even a medical center that has sprung up in the middle of an open field along the Northway where horses grazed not so many years ago. Seems like everything is new in Malta.  Growth and bustle and change.

It was very different 169 years ago.
