GUILDERLAND — The Guilderland Town Band is performing for its 52nd season, with its first concert scheduled for Thursday, June 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Guilderland Performing Arts Center in Tawasentha Park.

Guilderland School Board President Seema Rivera said on June 14 she thought Guilderland was the first school district in the area to adopt such a resolution. “I’m really proud the students brought this to our attention. It’s a step in the right direction,” she said.

Guilderland students a quarter of a century ago joined a battle that still must be carried through today.

GUILDERLAND — Athena Wu, a Guilderland senior, has been awarded the Chancellor McGovern Scholarship, given to the child of State Education Department employees.

Wu has a 4.0 grade-point average and will attend Northeastern University to study neuroscience.

The festival will take place at the Altamont fairgrounds from June 24 to 26.

Built in the city of Albany in 1994, the 437,286-square-foot outdoor shopping center Crossgates Commons is home to big-box retailers like Home Depot and At Home. The retail center had $29.8 million in debt spread across two loans whose original value was $32.5 million due May 1. 

ALTAMONT — When she hears something that intrigues her, Ellen Howie takes action.

Early one Sunday morning, she heard a broadcast on National Public Radio about No Mow May.

“It captured my imagination,” says Howie in this week’s Enterprise podcast. “And I thought, ‘Well, that’s easy.’”

According to Altamont’s latest drinking-water quality report, from 2021,  average demand in the village is about 189,000 gallons per day.  Altamont Superintendent of Public Works Jeff Moller said on June 9 that demand is now “pushing” 260,000 gallons per day.
