This Bel Canto opera from the mid-19th century is full of gorgeous and memorable music, with a silly plot that comes straight out of the commedia del arte repertoire. A rich old man, fatuous and full of himself, presumes to dictate to his nephew whom the youth will marry, but he learns that youth and love are more than a match for a tyrant and his money.

Route 43 Shut Down Will Add To Commuter Delays
by David Flint
Due to road construction on NYS Route 2, Grafton folks have been finding it a slow go lately getting to destinations in the Albany/Troy area. Stephentown commuters can soon join the club. As of Monday, August 15, the State Transportation Department (NYSDOT) will shut down a stretch of Route 43 to replace a large culvert near Reno Road in the Town of Nassau. The road at that spot got washed out by the flooding that occurred in the summer of 2009 and was temporarily repaired.
