HF 1 – Chatham 1

PKick’s, HF 3 – C 2

Hoosick Soccer Complex, 10/23.

After being constantly on the attack and controlling the game, the HF Panthers enjoyed a one goal advantage on the Chatham Panthers at the end of the first half. Ashley Foster, assisted by Angela Gonzalez, gave HF the lead on a corner kick with 11 minutes left in the half.

When the second half began, Chatham, seeded 11, moved the ball to the HF end of the field. Less than two minutes into the second half, a Chatham player lofted a shot from about 35 feet out. The ball floated, and carried by the strong wind, went into the goal just under the crossbar. It was just barely out of reach of HF goalie Jayde Tutenjian.

Rensselaer County Legislature

Large Crowds Disappointed By County Inaction

by Tyler Sawyer

Like the previous monthly meeting, when the legislature replaced their leadership by selecting a new chairman, the October regular meeting was far from a normal meeting. For the second time in less than a week, the chambers of the Rensselaer County Legislature were packed with concerned residents predominantly from the towns of Stephentown, Nassau, Sand Lake and Schodack.  They all were there for one reason: to plead with the legislature to adopt legislation that would help in protecting their drinking water from possible damage from the proposed Kinder-Morgan gas pipeline that will be located in their towns if approved.
