Over the past month, I’ve discussed the entry for Schaghticoke in Horatio Spafford’s 1813 “Gazetteer of New York.” Mr. Spafford, strapped for money, had ambitions to write many more Gazetteers, covering a wider geographical area, but was only able to produce one other edition, another New York Gazetteer in 1824. He died in 1832.

Winter vacation week is traditionally a time for rest and relaxation, but for many local students and Transfiguration parishioners it was a time for giving. A group of volunteers from both sites at Transfiguration Parish spent time during the school break preparing and serving a meal for Bethany House in Troy. The Bethany Hospitality Center merged with Unity House in 2012 and is now known as Bethany @ Unity. The resource center serves a diverse population of people affected by financial struggles. Additionally, they offer community meals and a variety of other human service resources for area residents.
