City Enacts Controls Over Coin Drops – by H. Wessell

MECHANICVILLE, April 2: "They call  us “Tag Day America,'" Mayor Dennis Baker began as he introduced a local ordinance passed at the April City Council Business session.  "We have people in the streets all the time."

However also, the career police officer added, "We're in violation every time we let them on the road. We're not supposed to tie up a state highway like that," he explained to one questioner. "So we're already in violation. We're trying to work with them, and we just can't do it ... I also know I hear a lot of complaints about people being held up [in traffic]."

MACSC Has Big Chance to Win by Jennifer Dugan

The Mechanicville Area Community Services Center is collecting food as part of the Feinstein Foundation’s $1 Million Giveaway to Fight Hunger. This challenge provides a unique opportunity for the MACSC Food Pantry to receive a share of the giveaway, while still keeping the food local to help those who need it most within our own community.

Mechanicville Area Community Services Center Executive Director Megan Quillinan says that she came across this exciting opportunity by happy accident. “It was total chance. I had heard about it in the past and I came across the foundation again while I was looking for grants,” she said. “It seemed like a brilliant way to raise money. I wanted to make people aware of it, I thought it was good fit for us.”

Alyssa Moore’s “Life Changing Experience” by Sandy McBride

It was just eight days in her young life, but for Alyssa Moore those eight days were a “life-changing experience”.  In early January, Alyssa traveled to the Dominican Republic with a team of medical people and fellow students from Clarkson University to set up a clinic and provide care to villagers who do not routinely receive any medical care at all.

Alyssa, the daughter of Bob and Valerie Moore, grew up in Mechanicville along with kid sister Aubrey.  Graduating from Mechanicville High School fifth in her class in 2006, she was a National Honor Society member who had been honored as a Top Six student each year of junior high and high school.  Alyssa was the catcher on Mechanicville’s 2005 New York State Class C Champion softball team, and was presented with the Sportsmanship Award for the state tournament. In her senior year, she played again in the state finals.  For her prowess as an athlete, she received the Heismann Award for high school students.
