Adirondack Cardiology adds new doctor

Adirondack Cardiology has added a new doctor to their staff.

Dr. Gregory A. Kelly of Gansevoort has joined Adirondack Cardiology, a Glens Falls Hospital service, after practicing in the Capital Region for almost 12 years.

Kelly is a graduate of Siena College and received his medical degree from the State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse. He did his internship, residency and cardiology fellowship all at The Miriam Hospital/Brown University in Providence, R.I.

“Dr. Kelly may be new to Adirondack Cardiology, but he certainly isn’t new to the community,” said Patrick Rowley, MD, Adirondack Cardiology in a statement.  “Patients who have come to know and rely on him can take comfort in knowing they can continue seeing him in Queensbury at our 6 Heart’s Way location.  Dr. Kelly is a terrific cardiologist and Adirondack Cardiology’s physicians and staff are extremely excited to have him on board.”

Reality Check youth to present anti-smoking in movies initiative

Reality Check youth to present anti-smoking in movies initiative

Reality Check youth and 300 youth and adults will come together at the Regal Cinemas Clifton Park Stadium 10 and RPX this Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. for “The Smoke-Free Movies Initiative International Week of Action.”

Youth from Saratoga, Warren and Washington counties will promote the initiative with a free family movie and they will educate the public on tobacco product placement in movies and what effect that has on today’s youth.

“The influence of tobacco-related movie images on youth smoking is a major, perhaps the major stimulus for adolescent smoking.  Most important, there is a ‘dose-response:’ the more smoking Hollywood shows kids on screen, the more likely they are to start smoking,” said Stanton Glantz PhD of the University of California in a statement.

Local Tuskegee Airman remembered as "true hero"

SARATOGA SPRINGS - Clarence Dart might be viewed as the best the "Greatest Generation" had to offer.

Growing up poor during the Great Depression in Elmira, Dart always wanted to be a pilot, but it wasn't easy. He had to overcome a society that viewed black men as intellectually inferior and incapable of piloting airplanes.

"When we first started escort for the bombers some of them didn't want us," said Dart during an interview in 2007. "But when they started losing people and we showed them that we were keeping the German fighters away from them,then they started asking for us."

Dart was part of the now-famous, all-black Tuskegee Airmen.

A recent film, Red Tails, tells the story of their legendary success---never losing a bomber to enemy fire. Dart saw the debut of the movie with his family and received a standing ovation in the theater at the Wilton Mall.
