WSWHE BOCES Honors 16 High School Equivalency Graduates

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Education.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — WSWHE BOCES held a graduation ceremony on Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023 honoring its 16 High School Equivalency (HSE) Program graduates.

Nearly 40 people were in attendance, which included graduates accepting their certificates and family and friends cheering them on. Student speaker, Nirendae Johnson, from Saratoga Springs, spoke to her classmates and the audience about the many times she wanted to give up, but instead persevered. 

“One of the most important things I learned throughout this journey is that it is always going to be hard, and scary and overwhelming, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying. It might take you months or even years to reach your goals but the second you decided to try, you already completed the hardest part,” said Ms. Johnson.

Rose O’Neill, from Saratoga Springs, spoke to her class. O’Neill was inspired by her own sister’s courage who obtained her high school equivalency diploma and that allowed O’Neill to try for her own. She also thanked her instructor, who she believes helped her get to this point. 

“Everything changed when I met Mr. Frank Finch [HSE instructor]. The moment I walked into the HSE classroom, I felt a renewed sense of hope. Mr. Finch taught me academic subjects but also instilled in me a belief in my own potential,” said Ms. O’Neill. 

The high school equivalency diploma has opened up new possibilities for these students such as new job opportunities, goals for continuing education or attending technical school, a press release states.

District Superintendent, Dr. Turina Parker, spoke about celebrating the accomplishments of the students who persevered through challenges, ups and downs, setbacks and roadblocks. 

“This evening, we prove that everything is attainable when you put your mind to it. These students have made the impossible… possible. You made it to the finish line, one of many” stated Dr. Parker.

Northshire Bookstore Celebrates 10th Anniversary in Saratoga Springs

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Business.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Northshire Bookstore celebrated 10 years in Saratoga Springs on Friday, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce.

At the ceremony, Mayor Ron Kim read a proclamation declaring Aug. 4 to be ‘Northshire Bookstore Day.’

Northshire initially opened in Saratoga Springs on Aug. 4, 2013, expanding from its first location in Manchester, Vermont. The store is currently owned by three sisters; Nicole Ihasz, Cathleen Ihasz, and Ashley Ihasz-Austin. 

The sisters are natives of Manchester, with Nicole Ihasz saying they visited Northshire Bookstore often as kids. She said it is meaningful to “continue the legacy” of the store.

“We grew up in Manchester. So the Northshire store, I feel like we grew up in that store,” said Nicole Ihasz. “What the Morrows created is a cultural center for the town. It’s the heartbeat of the town, it’s a community center.”

Northshire’s Manchester location was originally opened in 1976 by Ed and Barbara Morrow. After the Morrows retired, the store was operated by Clark and Lu French, before the Ihasz sisters acquired Northshire following the passing of Lu French in 2022, the company’s website states.

Nicole Ihasz said the decision to purchase Northshire was ‘a no-brainer.’ 

“We’re so glad we did it,” she said. “We had tremendous support from Clark French and from the Morrow family as we made this transition. As I said, we have the most brilliant staff. We’re so lucky.”

Ihasz credited the store’s staff for their work, saying their time operating Northshire has been enjoyable.

“It’s really been a great experience. I am a huge reader, so I just love being in these spaces,” said Nicole Ihasz. “As I said, I feel like I grew up in the store, so it’s really fun for me to interact with our team, but also interact with our customers, and talk to them about books.”

Upstate NY Hospitals Receiving Reimbursements 

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in News.


Saratoga Hospital. File photo.

SARATOGA COUNTY — Congressman Paul Tonko and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer announced the finalized rule announced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that would address a longstanding inequity, known as the Medicare Wage Index (MWI), that they say has short-changed Capital Region hospitals in Medicare reimbursement rates. 

This formula adjustment will bring more than $190 million annually to Capital Region hospitals and an estimated $967+ million across New York State each year.

“This fix to the formula means an influx of hundreds of millions to our local hospitals — long burdened by the added strain from the COVID-19 pandemic — to address staff pay and retention, update medical equipment and technology, and further invest in patient care,” said Tonko, in a statement released jointly with Schumer.

For years, the Medicare Wage Index for the Capital Region has rested around 86 cents on the dollar, while nearby regions in New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut were provided much higher rates. The finalized CMS rule for the FY24 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) will bring the Capital Region’s MWI up to around $1.22, delivering more than $190 million in federal funding to NY-20 hospitals each year. 

The new FY24 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) rule will now increase the Capital Region’s adjustment to 122 percent of what the average hospital receives in wage adjustments, acknowledging that the region needs much higher than average wages to compete and bring in the best providers, according to the statement. 

The specific impact on Saratoga Hospital is just over $2.7 million.

Boat Sinks at Round Lake; Two Adults and One Child Aboard Safely Returned to Shore

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in News.

SARATOGA COUNTY —Three people aboard a sinking vessel safely reached shore after an incident on Round Lake Tuesday morning, Aug. 8. 

“At approximately 9:42 a.m., members of the Sheriff’s Office responded to Round Lake for a report of boaters in distress. Upon patrol’s arrival the vessel was submerged, and the occupants were being assisted by kayakers,” according to a statement released by the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office. 

The two adults and one child were all wearing life jackets and were returned to shore by the members of the Round Lake Fire Department. 

The preliminary investigation by the Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol indicates that the damage to the hull was accidental and resulted in the vessel filling with water. The damaged vessel was towed to shore by the Round Lake Fire Department.

In addition to the Round Lake Fire Department, the Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the New York State Police, Arvin Hart Fire Department, Ballston Lake Fire Department, Malta Ridge Fire Department and Malta-Stillwater EMS
