📰 News we're reading

1. With One Full-Time Officer, Windham Police Struggle to Cover School Arrival and Dismissal (theoverlooknews.com) — Woodstock families may be reassured to learn that, unlike Windham-Ashland-Jewett, Onteora’s Boiceville and Woodstock schools rely on an Ulster County Sheriff’s school resource officer rather than local police details for arrival and dismissal. The article contrasts this setup with Windham’s struggle to staff brief traffic and safety posts, highlighting broader police staffing shortages across the region.
   

2. Woodstock Film Festival Lineup Brings Catskills Stories to the Big Screen (theoverlooknews.com) — The Woodstock Film Festival returns Oct. 14–18 with screenings and events centered in Woodstock and nearby towns, plus a local box office on Rock City Road and special discounts for Hudson Valley residents and students. Expect high-profile premieres, Catskills-focused shorts, visiting filmmakers, masterclasses, and conversations, including a Hudson Valley spotlight and a new locals program that makes passes and Date Night packages more affordable for area filmgoers.
   

3. High school golf: Ty Monroe of Saugerties cards 6-under 30 (dailyfreeman.com) — A recent Mid-Hudson Athletic League golf match brought Onteora’s team to Woodstock Golf Club, where the Eagles evened their record at 2-2 on their home course. The roundup also highlights standout performances from Saugerties, New Paltz, and Tri-Valley golfers across the region.
   

4. Ulster County legislators push feds to reinstate naturalization ceremony (dailyfreeman.com) — Ulster County legislators are pressing federal immigration officials to restore local naturalization ceremonies, which have been repeatedly canceled over the past two years. While most lawmakers signed the letter, Woodstock Democrat Jeff Collins and a few colleagues did not, as the group argues that holding ceremonies at the historic county courthouse is a meaningful milestone for new citizens and their families.
   

5. A Weekend Road Trip Is Sometimes Better Without a Plan (chronogram.com) — Hudson Valley road trips get a special nod, with Woodstock highlighted alongside Kingston, New Paltz, and Beacon as a small town worth spontaneous detours for art, food, and community events. The piece encourages flexible, loosely planned weekends where local bakeries, galleries, and scenic drives become the main attractions.
