The race is on to keep a 150-year-old lighthouse from crumbling into the Hudson River
HUDSON, N.Y. (AP) — The race is on to keep a 150-year-old lighthouse from crumbling into the Hudson River. Wooden pilings beneath Hudson-Athens Lighthouse are deteriorating, and the structure, built in the middle of the river when steamboats still plied the water, is beginning to shift. Cracks are apparent on the brick building and its granite foundation. While there are other endangered lighthouses around the nation, the peril to this one 100 miles 161 (kilometers) north of New York City is so dire the National Trust for Historic Preservation placed Hudson-Athens on its 2024 list of the country’s 11 most endangered historic places. Advocates say that if action isn’t taken soon, yet another historic lighthouse could be lost in the coming years. “All four corners will begin to come down, and then you’ll have a pile of rock in the middle. And ultimately it will topple into the river,” Van Calhoun of the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Society said during a recent visit.

Can You Go to Jail for Getting Naughty in a Car in New York?
The weather has been so hot in the Hudson Valley lately; however, things got even hotter on Route 9G in Hyde Park. I was driving north on Route 9G in Hyde Park. It was a very hot and humid day, and my car's air conditioning was not cutting it. The humidity just made everything feel disgusting. Behind me is this little black car. As I'm passing the entrance to Val-Kill, I see the car swerve a little bit. It did not seem like this guy had great control of the car. I'm thinking to myself, "Is this guy drunk or something? Is he on his phone?"
