BREAKING: Warren County disclosed this morning that in early December it paid $3.3-million to a bogus account “through a fraudulent phishing scheme.”

READ: https://www.glensfallschronicle.com/warren-county-pays-out-3-3-million-in-fraudulent-phishing-scheme/

The press release said, “According to Warren County officials, two electronic payments in the amounts of $2.1 million (December 12th, 2025) and $1.2 million (December 22, 2025) were transmitted to a fraudulent bank account by the Warren County Treasurer’s Office.

"Warren County has received information from investigators that the second payment of $1.2 million will be recovered and the funds are expected to be returned to the County Treasurer’s Office. County officials also hope to recover some additional funds from the first payment.

"After being notified December 23rd of the fraudulent payments, Warren County officials contacted the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police and U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the criminal conduct and assist in attempts to recover the funds.

"The New York State Comptroller's Office of Local Government is also conducting an investigation into the issue.

Zander Frost writes: Ali Gazetos Mineo will open a women’s boutique — Floro’s Mercantile — in the South Street storefront where her family’s New Way Lunch once operated.

READ: https://www.glensfallschronicle.com/to-open-womens-boutique-on-south-street/

It will be located on the first floor of the 15 South Street building that Chris Patten is renovating.

Ms. Gazetos Mineo hopes to open within a few months and says she plans to offer “elevated basics for women that I feel are hard to find locally.”

It will have lines of new women’s clothing — nothing vintage. “I’ll offer some handbags and accessories, but I’m really going to try to stick to mostly clothing.”

Ms. Gazetos Mineo said she wants women to “know they can get specific things that they need for events and for work.” Also, styling and shopping services for customers who are shopping for women. “And I am going to have my own line to launch — a few pieces of clothing that have my logo.”

Floro’s is named for Ms. Gazetos Mineo’s great-grandfather, John Floro, who founded New Way Lunch. She notes, “John Floro had five daughters, and they all loved clothes and were very fashionable. That was another reason why I picked the name.”

New Way Lunch moved across and down South Street to its current location, a former bus station, in 2008.

“We’ve been talking about opening up a boutique in my family for a couple of years, but we just never found the right space, the right building,” she said.

When Chris Patten began his renovation, Ms. Gazetos Mineo says, “I thought, Well, it’d be cool if we could go back into where we originally were.”

She is keeping the exposed brick interior — matching the old New Way look.

Ms. Gazetos Mineo operates New Way Lunch with her brother Nick Gazetos and parents Peter and Susan Gazetos, with Glens Falls and Warrensburg locations.

The shop, she says, is a “passion project” that will give her a chance to experiment.

One person died in the residential fire at 9 Marion Ave. yesterday afternoon, a City of Glens Falls Fire Department press release confirmed. The victim’s identity was withheld pending next-of-kin notification.

One other person was treated at the scene, and one firefighter sustained a minor injury and was released from Glens Falls Hospital, the release said.

“Firefighters faced heavy smoke, active fire in multiple areas, and extreme clutter inside the home,” the release said. “Access was limited, and structural instability required multiple alarms and mutual aid. Fire containment was achieved by 9:00 p.m., with suppression operations continuing overnight.

“The home was deemed unsafe and condemned. Emergency demolition began overnight and is expected to conclude Wednesday morning.

“The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Glens Falls Fire Department, New York State Office of Fire Investigation, and Warren County Coroner. There is no evidence of criminal activity.

“The Glens Falls Fire Department extends condolences to the family and urges all residents to maintain working smoke detectors, clear exits, and a home escape plan.”
