State law requires 'bell-to-bell' restrictions Public school districts in the Highlands adopted policies this month to align student cellphone restrictions with a newly enacted state law that requires a "bell-to-bell" ban. The law, enacted in April as part of the state budget, applies to public schools, charter schools and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). It prohibits the use of smartphones and other internet-enabled personal devices by students during the school day, including at lunch, recess and study halls. The law allows districts to provide exceptions for emergencies or to manage a student's healthcare, for students with disabilities or individualized education programs, for translation services, or for students who are routinely responsible for the care of a family member. After a meeting on Monday (July 21) with the president of the state teachers' union and Capital Region administrators, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement that her priority is ensuring that students receive "a high-quality education, free from constant clicking and scrolling." She said on Thursday that about 300 districts had submitted their policies to the Education Department before the Aug. 1 deadline. The Beacon school board, which last year banned student cellphone use during classes at Rombout Middle School and Beacon High School, extended its restrictions on Monday to align with state law. Beginning Sept. 2, students who bring phones to school will be required to store them in their lockers for the entire day. If a student is found using a phone, it will be confiscated and placed in a locked space in an administrative office for the remainder of the day. The penalty for a second offense will be five school days locked in the office, and a third offense will be 10 school days. If a student is found using a phone a fifth time, it could be locked up each school day for the remainder of the academic year, Superintendent Matt Landahl told the board. Cellphone restrictions will not change at the district's four elementary schools, as students who bring cellphones are required to keep them in their storage cubbies or backpacks at all times. An online survey conducted by the district in June showed support for the new restrictions from the 278 students, teachers, parents and caregivers who responded, Landahl said, but "there's just an incredible variance in all of the details." Students said in the survey that they had grown to appreciate the district's classroom ban on phones, which was adopted a year ago and allowed phone use between classes, at lunch and during recess, Landahl said. However, after adhering to that policy, students were surprised to learn that stricter rules were on the way. Teachers asked for explicit language and consistent implementation of the policy. Some parents "had a lot of serious questions" about contacting their children during the day, either for logistical reasons or for emergencies, he said. The state set aside $13.5 million for schools to purchase "storage solutions," but Beacon's allocation of $13,000 was far less than the $80,000 it would cost to outfit the middle and high schools with locking pouches, Landahl said. The district spent about half of the money to purchase lockboxes for administrative offices. Rombout Principal Brian Soltish said Monday that students would be assigned lockers, whenever possible, close to their last-period class, to give them time to retrieve their phones before being picked up or boarding a bus. For middle school students, using a locker every day will be a shift "from what many are doing, which is just loading everything into their backpacks," he said. The district next month will distribute email addresses and phone numbers to parents or guardians who need to send messages to their children during the day. Students will be able to call their parents using school phones with permission. In the event of an emergency, Landahl said he will communicate with the co...

Do you still carry guilt for things God has already forgiven? You're not alone. So many Christians live burdened by past sins—even after repenting and surrendering their lives to Christ. But Romans 8 opens with a life-changing promise: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” In Part 1 of our new series, Living the Good Life, we explore what it really means to live in the freedom of God's forgiveness. Through the powerful story of Neil Johnson—a man granted a pardon he never thought he deserved—we'll confront the doubts, emotions, and misconceptions that keep us from fully receiving God's grace. Scripture: Romans 8:1–11 Big Idea: Embracing God's forgiveness is essential to a flourishing Christian life. You'll discover: -Why many believers still feel condemned—even when they're forgiven -How false beliefs about God distort our ability to live free -The difference between guilt and repentance -What it means to truly surrender and walk by the Spirit Whether you struggle with guilt, shame, or just need a fresh reminder of God's grace—this message will speak to your heart.

In this episode of Talk of Fame, Kylie Montigney talks with Annie Scherer! Annie Scherer merges her love of rock ‘n roll classics with her passion for alternative music to produce her own unique sound. Her evocative lyrics and haunting melodies have been heard live from New York to Tennessee.  In May 2025, Annie had the honor of performing at the 40th Annual Harvard Mayfair in the heart of Harvard University. She also celebrated her Chinese American heritage with her performance at the CMP gala in New York, NY and the Boston International Asian Music Festival. Annie is currently gearing up to release her EP this fall.  In 2023, Annie was the runner-up in Lightning 100's Music City Mayhem competition in Nashville, which had 430+ entries. The finale included a performance at 3rd & Lindsley, where the five remaining artists battled it out live. First and second place were determined by voters and judges, including some of Nashville's top music industry members. Following the competition, Annie performed at the annual festival series, Musician's Corner in Nashville. She played the festival again on the main stage in 2024. Annie's single, "Everywhere I Go (Everybody's the Same)" earned her the #1 spot on aBreak Music, the number one music platform for independent artists, in August 2023. The song was aired internationally via iHeart Radio, and received press coverage throughout the nation.  Annie released her first full-length album “Garden Bed” in March 2021. The album features previously released singles, "Andy Warhol," "Take Me Places," and "After Rain," along with six brand new tracks. Annie wrote and produced all the songs. Garden Bed showcases her skills as a composer and multi-instrumentalist, performing the trumpet, piano, guitar, and ukulele, while arranging string quartet scores for songs like "Kaleidoscope" and "Ashamed." The album was widely praised by American Songwriters, the Times Union in Albany, NY, and NYS Music. A month after its release, Annie was voted the best local musician in New York's Capital Region according to readers of the Times Union.  In 2020, three of Annie's songs, including "Kaleidoscope," "After Rain," and "Roses and Lies" received honorable mentions at the international and notable songwriting competition, SongDoor. "After Rain" was selected for special recognition. Annie was awarded the 2018 Producer's Choice for the 'Celebration of Music' PBS special in Troy, NY, hosted by Ethan Bortnick. She won a trip to LA where she was taped performing "Andy Warhol."    Annie's musical career began at age six, when she started classical piano lessons. She devoted 12 years to classical performance. At seven, she wrote her first song, a holiday tune that she sang for a two-person audience: her mom and music teacher. By age 12, Annie had taught herself guitar, and started gigging and writing more seriously.  In addition to her musical aspirations, she is a visual artist and practices with charcoal portraits. She is also a fashion model with Rune Models.Listen in as we discuss Annie's  journey and her new music. You'll be inspired by her dedication to inspiring others through music.Links Mentioned:https://linktr.ee/anniescherer?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacTpyL2SuzAnV4hCvxu4KdtKPOT9aVFuecXhorjmaKzAtkUKLeNkH4fAE0G4A_aem_VSUNtTFGF0rnaMwn4AT6wgFollow Me:Instagram:@Officialkyliemontigney@TalkoffamepodFacebook:OfficialkyliemontigneyTalkoffameTwitter:@Kyliemontigney4About Me:Hi, I'm Kylie!

That part of upstate New York is not cosmopolitan and the nearest immigration court is out near Buffalo, but it has seen plenty of horrific ICE actions against foreign born residents. Immigrants in the Albany area tend to be from Africa and the Middle East and they are terrified, he said. They aren't coming to English classes, are afraid to go to the supermarket or to legally required meetings with immigration officials for fear of being plucked off the streets and whisked out of the country. There are things that native born Americans who don't like the Stephen Miller-Donald Trump deportation policies can do.

Thom Francis reintroduces us to longtime local poet and open mic host Don Levy. Don was the featured reader at the Albany Poets Presents series at Restaurant Navona in 2017, where he shared his poems, told stories about his childhood, and answered questions from the audience. For this segment, Thom asks Don about one of the poems he read that night and some other issues of the day. — Don Levy has been part of the Albany poetry scene since 1988 when he first read at the QE2 open mic. He has read at various venues and events in the area, including The Albany Public Library, Poets in the Park, the Poets Speak Loud series at McGeary's, and The Social Justice Center. He has hosted a number of readings over the years, the first being at The Albany Art Gallery on Jefferson Street, to his last, a featured reader / open mic series called "Live From the Living Room," a straight-friendly reading held at The Pride Center of the Capital Region. Don was one of the editors of Open Mic: The Albany Anthology., a fantastic book that featured work from the poets who frequented the local open mics in the mid-90s. He published 2 chapbooks with local artist Kevin Bruce: How Green Was My Big Eden, a collection of gay fantasy poems, and Super Queer Poet Saves the Day. On January 18, 2017, Don read his poem "Mike Pence Goes to Hamilton" at the Albany Poets Presents event at Restaurant Navona in Albany. In our conversation we talk about where the idea for that poem came from, recent online outrage over major companies supporting LGBTQ+ causes, "wokeness," and using poetry as social commentary.

We've all said it: “I love my job, but the people…” The truth is, navigating a toxic or dysfunctional workplace can test your faith like few other things. In this final message of our Work Matters series, we explore what it looks like to represent Jesus in the hardest environments—when coworkers are difficult, integrity is rare, and your values are constantly challenged. Looking at the life of Daniel, we'll see how one man stood firm, shined brightly, and made a difference—even in a hostile setting. This message is filled with practical encouragement for anyone trying to follow Jesus at work, especially when the atmosphere is anything but Christlike. Whether you're dealing with petty office drama or outright hostility, this teaching will help you live faithfully, stay spiritually grounded, and see your workplace as one of your greatest mission fields.

St. Paul had a female traveling companion but we never hear about her; women suffering at all times of their lives from menstrual cramps to menopause are told by untrained doctors that it's in their heads, and even when mice are the subjects of medical experiments, they are almost always male. Long accustomed to taking a back seat and suffering in silence, women are increasingly speaking up for better treatment at the hands of medicine. Two of them from different generations, Abby Lorch, a UAlbany student, and Liz Seegert, a long-time health journalist talk about what should be done — and their despair that Health Secretary RFK will do it.Abby Lorch is a 21-year-old UAlbany student graduating with a journalism degree and a law and philosophy minor. She plans to attend Albany Law School starting in fall 2025. She has always been interested in women's issues, and reporting on the university community and the Capital Region has given her insight into how these issues affect her neighbors.Liz Seegert  is an award-winning, freelance journalist with more than 30 years experience writing for magazines, newspapers, radio and TV news, digital, PR, corporate, government, non-profit, and educational institutions. Her work has appeared in national, regional and local consume and trade outlets. She has done numerous fellowships with organizations such as  the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the center for Health Policy and Media Engagement, and the Gerontological Society of America. She is active in the Journalism & Women Symposium and is an instructor at the Empire State College.

Have you ever asked, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” You're not alone. In this message, Pastor Rex shares how discerning your calling is less about choosing a perfect career and more about becoming the person God created you to be. Through Romans 12 and other Scriptures, he explains how God often guides us not with a lightning bolt, but through the steady pull of character, gifting, passion, and personality. Whether you're a student wrestling with your future, a mom wondering if what you do matters, or someone considering a career change, this sermon will help you understand that God does have a purpose for you—and He wants to guide you step by step. God's call may not be loud, but it's always personal.
