Shelters' expansion. Comedians in coffeeshop.
Also, our schedule is changing, a bit.
The future of daily news in the Spa City, Saratoga Springs, New York.
Saratoga Springs “Morning Call” wakes you up with the top stories from the Dispatch and other news outlets in the area.
Schedule change
We have a new schedule. We tested the “Lunch Break!” email and although it is read by many people, it is also one email too many, our readership says. Starting today, we return to two daily emails, The Morning Call (this email right here) and the Daily Dispatch, sent around 4:30 p.m.
This change may bring with it some longer pieces in the Morning Call, written by the Dispatch staff, to make sure we get the stories to you as timely as possible. You can also check out our website for all of our stories and emails.
Thank you for reading, Co-editors Abby Tegnelia and Steve Thurston
Blizzard watch? Already?
Sorta. The “warm blob” is back in the northern Pacific Ocean, says a story in the Times Union. The anomaly, first recorded 10 years ago, is a huge pool of water that remains warmer longer, and in the winter that can cause high pressure and forces humidity into the atmosphere that drops on us as snow. Meteorologists out west are using “blizzard watch” and similar language to talk about our possible weather here this winter, the story says. Read more weather-related information “below the fold” at the end of this email.

Tax bills are sent by mail in September and may be paid online through MuniciPay, by mail, and by use of the district drop box. Credit card payments on the phone or in the school district offices are not accepted. All this information is available on the SSCSD website.
Town Clerk works second full-time job…legally
Elected Brunswick Town Clerk Rebecca Del Gaizo says a toxic work environment in the town administration pushed her to take a full-time job with the state, thereby having two full-time jobs.
