📰 News we're reading

• Mid-Hudson Valley arrests report: Aug. 18, 2026 (dailyfreeman.com) — Rosendale readers are informed about two recent local arrests: a Rosendale resident charged with drug possession and driving-related misdemeanors on Route 32, and a Kingston resident charged with criminal tampering, both headed to Rosendale Town Court. The broader roundup also lists arrests in Kingston, Catskill, Ellenville, Poughkeepsie, and Ulster, reminding residents that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
   

• Where to swim in Ulster County (hudsonvalleyone.com) — If you're looking to cool off close to home, the Town of Rosendale Pool on Route 32 is open daily with lap swim times and season passes available, while local lakes remain largely inaccessible or unappealing for public swimming. The guide also compares hours, fees, and conditions at other Ulster County pools and swim spots so Rosendale residents can choose the best option before Labor Day closures.
