Good morning, Schenectady.

Local volunteer Christie Buono has rescued three cats and cares for several others in Orchard Park by feeding them and checking for microchips.

She partners with Kitten Angels to secure vet care and foster homes for the rescued pets.

Wolf Hollow Brewing opened a new taproom and brewery on Sacandaga Road in Scotia today — the expansion cost about one million dollars, adds 18 jobs, and boosts annual production from 1,800 to 2,500 barrels while including a full kitchen and seating for 100 guests.

Students at Union College are installing UV-tinted decals on high-traffic windows at Schaffer Library and near the ISEC walkway to reduce bird collisions; the project, backed by a $10,000 grant (which covers community signage with QR codes), aims to lower collision risks by up to 95 percent.

Registered dietitian Theresa DeLorenzo says fall spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric help reduce inflammation and boost antioxidants.

She advises adding dried spices at the end of cooking — a tip that enhances flavor while reducing salt in everyday dishes.
