Cooler weather can leave skin looking dull and feeling dry. Pique’s Radiant Skin Duo brings a beauty upgrade to your fall routine: two delicious daily drinks that support hydrated, plump, luminous-looking skin from within. |

Start with creamy, organic Sun Goddess Matcha, packed with antioxidants that support healthy-looking skin. Then sip B·T Fountain, a refreshing beauty electrolyte combining clinically studied ceramides, hyaluronic acid and electrolytes to support hydration and a dewy glow. |

The beauty benefits come with impressive clinical evidence. In a clinical trial of B·T Fountain’s ceramides, skin hydration improved 25% by day 15. By day 60, hydration improved 37%, elasticity improved 36% and wrinkle depth decreased 8.2%. |

Hey, Dispatchers.
Just a quick note, as I know we all breathed a sigh of relief yesterday upon hearing that the victim of Friday night’s devastating attack is “recovering well.”
Friends of the young woman — just 21 when she offered a coworker a ride home last week, a simple kindness that would instead change her life forever – tell me she is as hardworking as they come, and the most loving daughter, sister and friend.
More below.

GoFundMe for attack victim reaches a third of its goal in first day
What this poor young woman went through, and right here on Lake Avenue … like most of us, I learned the details of Friday night’s attack by reading the family’s own GoFundMe page yesterday. This thoughtful 21-year-old — who we now know is Olivia Neri, daughter to Joanne and sister to Candace — went out of her way to give a coworker a ride home. As she neared where he wanted to be dropped off, “his face seemed to change completely, morphing into something she could only describe as demonic,” reads the account, reported by Candace’s friend Samantha. “He attacked her inside her car.”
👉 Please contribute what you can to the GoFundMe, which is going toward Olivia’s medical bills to treat her lacerated left carotid artery, left wound across the front of her neck that nicked her trachea, and slice to her left ear that required plastic surgery, all according to the page that has been heavily shared by her friends and family.

🍎 SKIDMORE
A packed agenda with room to disagree
Skidmore students Kate Sterling (LEFT) and Parker Kinney (FAR RIGHT) moderate a panel discussion with former members of Congress John Yarmuth (D-KY) and Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY).
The disagreement came early. And at a Skidmore event about making Congress work again, that was kind of the point.
When students asked two former members of Congress about their proudest moments in office, Republican Ann Marie Buerkle raised her objections to the Affordable Care Act. Democrat John Yarmuth went next. As senior Kate Sterling recalled, he said, “Well, this is funny to follow that up, but my proudest moment was passing the Affordable Care Act.”
That exchange was part of a two-day visit that brought the former lawmakers into classrooms, student lunches and evening events, reaching about 100 students before Wednesday’s public discussion, “Making Congress Work Again.” Four student panelists also joined Professor Robert Turner and the politicians for breakfast at Country Corner Cafe, where the conversation ranged from polarization to personal relationships between members of Congress.
“They disagreed and they know they disagree,” Sterling says. “And they were still willing to just hang out and be human together.”
At the public panel, students pressed the lawmakers on filibusters, redistricting and whether Congress’s slow pace means it’s broken. But for Sterling, who is considering a future in either politics or law, the time around the breakfast table made the biggest impression. “It made a career in politics,” she says, “seem like less of a lofty dream.”
📌 ICYMI…
🍂 Peep the choicest leaves here
The Adirondacks are officially “at peak” fall foliage color, so don’t delay — the time is now to grab a pumpkin spiced coffee and cider donut, and hit the road already. Here’s where to go.
Hit Route 29 West
Head west onto NY-29, and take in miles of maples peppering historic family farms and rolling hills. Bonus stop: hit The Saratoga Winery on your way out or back (it’s about four miles west of downtown on 29) and kick back in the relaxed atmosphere that’s paired with local wine, great brunch and live music.
Head to Prospect Mountain
Take 87 to Lake George, where the ADK begin to beckon. Take a detour on Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway (exit 21), where you’ll head toward the mountain and enjoy a 5.5 mile climb flanked by trees, with overlooks. At the top, take in sweeping views of Lake George. Bonus stop: The rustic but delightful Log Jam restaurant.
Hug the Shores of Lake George
If you’re doing the drive for the ’Gram, consider Route 9N north along the western shore of Lake George. You’ll hit copious photo-ready foliage backdrops in Diamond Point, Bolton Landing and Silver Bay. Bonus stop: Detour to The Gem on Lake Shore Drive, with high-end cocktails, great local beer and southern-flecked smokehouse flavor.
Foliage, With a Side of History in Stillwater
Saratoga National Historical Park offers a stellar driving tour through rolling fields and wooded roads. But you may as well hop out, hit the walking paths, and then head into the excellent visitors center to learn more about how British General John Burgoyne was forced to surrender his entire force (a first for the British Army) in 1777, changing the outcome of the Revolutionary War, and shaking up world history in the process.
