📰 News we're reading
• Update: Repairing Cold Spring's Dams (highlandscurrent.org) — Cold Spring’s aging reservoir dams are being classified as high-hazard, and the village is moving ahead with multi-million-dollar repairs that could reshape local water rates and finances for decades. Recent land purchases on Lake Surprise Road, possible state grant funding, and a limited-time discount on Catskill Aqueduct water all factor into how and when this critical work gets done. 
• Theater Director Says Haldane Forced Her Out (highlandscurrent.org) — A longtime Haldane Drama director from Cold Spring says the district is pushing her out after 19 seasons, with a staff member expected to take over high school productions. Parents, students, and alumni from the Cold Spring community are organizing a petition and plan to address the school board, arguing the transition mishandles a beloved program’s legacy and institutional knowledge.
• 5 Questions: Jamar Brown (highlandscurrent.org) — A Cold Spring-based care coordinator is helping Haldane football players strengthen their mental focus, time management, and overall well-being through a program called the Mindful Athlete. Drawing on his own sports journey, he also leads story circles and a men’s group for seniors at the Friendship Center in Cold Spring, aiming to build connection, confidence, and healthier habits across generations.
