📰 News we're reading
• Man arrested on forgery charge in Halfmoon (newportdispatch.com) — A Glens Falls man has been charged with felony forgery after Saratoga County deputies say he passed a forged check at a Halfmoon bank last fall. The 49-year-old also faces contempt and petit larceny counts tied to an alleged order-of-protection violation and was released to pretrial services after arraignment. 
• Justice Department settles case with 'pay-for-prescription' doctor (timesunion.com) — A longtime Glens Falls–area pain doctor has agreed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars and accept a long-term ban on prescribing controlled substances after federal officials challenged his Warren County practice’s opioid-prescribing and business practices. The settlement follows multiple civil cases alleging cash-for-prescription arrangements, unsafe drug combinations, and attempts to shield assets, and it leaves both the doctor and his former nurse retired from medicine.
• Week 4 begins for Tarp Skunks (observertoday.com) — Glens Falls baseball fans get a brief mention as the Saugerties Stallions’ pitcher of the week is recognized for three hitless innings in a 5–0 win over Glens Falls. The article mainly spotlights standout Week 3 performances across the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League’s East and West divisions, including big offensive nights for Amsterdam and Batavia players.
