Fighting the opioid crisis: It takes a village

I was surprised at how much a few minutes of training affected me. Walking out of the event into the cool evening air, with a few dozen of my neighbors who had all been newly empowered to save a life in a crisis, I felt an unexpected rush of optimism. It’s not much, having a plastic baggie of naloxone to keep in the glove compartment in case of emergency, but it made me feel like part of the solution, not just a helpless, hand-wringing spectator.

It’s high season for Lyme in the Hudson Valley

Did you know deer are actually not the key host for the ticks that cause Lyme? And that most infections come from ticks in the nymph stage, when they’re no larger than a poppy seed?

Shamrock Beer & Tobacco holds grand opening in Highland

Located on the site of a former Ford dealership on Route 9W, Shamrock Beer & Tobacco is an outgrowth of the Shamrock Wine & Liquor store — literally, in that a wall of the old automobile showroom was bumped out and a roomy extension constructed, complete with large walk-in coolers and a temperature-and-humidity-controlled humidor room for cigars. The building complex is owned by the Patel family, and the new beer store is being operated by Shyan Patel and his wife Kristin.

Yankeetown Pond bought for a dollar! (Part 2)

Rumors proliferate in Woodstock like botulism in an ancient can of tuna fish. So until it failed to go away, I paid little mind to the one in the headline. A single visit to the town offices, however, and the gossip was at least partially substantiated. Someone named Erin Moran had indeed purchased 24 acres of land under and around one of Woodstock’s less advertised treasures (which occupies approximately 125 acres) for a dollar. Part 2 of 2.
