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.”

Controversial anti-cheese billboards replaced by opposite message

Submitted by WNYT Staff

ALBANY -- You can say cheese, but don't eat it. That was the message on the billboard ads in the Capital Region with pictures of grossly obese people. They caused quite a stir -- and they were recently replaced with the complete opposite message.

There were only two of them -- one in Schodack and the other one in Menands.

It appears the billboards were intentionally replaced based on the shocking nature of the anti-cheese message.

For the owner of the Schodack diner, it's a much better view for her customers.

"When it first got on, I was quite surprised because it was the complete opposite message. I figured...somebody made some phone call somewhere," said Maria Stamoulis from the Schodack Diner.
