📰 News we're reading
• NYSP2I selects 10 awardees for 2026-27 Community Grants Program (rit.edu) — Newburgh is getting two new, grant-funded efforts to cut food waste and support greener living: an expanded Rescued EATS program and a larger NUFFI composting and food-scrap diversion network. Both will bring training, drop-off sites, and hands-on education to help residents turn surplus food and scraps into community meals and compost instead of trash. 
• Doing God's Work on the Hudson (rowingnews.com) — A Newburgh-based Catholic priest has built San Miguel Academy into a small but powerful lifeline for local middle-schoolers, pairing rigorous academics with a nationally competitive rowing program on the Hudson. By keeping kids away from gangs and opening doors to top boarding schools, the Newburgh program is steadily breaking cycles of poverty for dozens of city families.
• Can you buy fireworks in NY? What's legal, what isn't this July 4 (recordonline.com) — If you live in Newburgh, you can’t legally buy or use consumer fireworks or even ground-based sparklers this July 4, due to Orange County’s city-specific ban. The piece explains what types of sparkling devices are allowed elsewhere in New York and offers safety tips to avoid injuries during holiday celebrations.
