In this podcast episode, we cover the latest news from Sullivan County, New York. We start with a discussion on the rising trend of "polydrug use" in the area, despite recent improvements in health rankings. Health specialists emphasize the importance of educating younger people on the dangers of these drugs, especially with rampant misinformation online.

We also touch on the tragic news of Harold Hoyt, a man who went missing and was later found dead in a marsh. Then, we move on to the heroic actions of Officer Victor Agapito, who rescued a disabled man from a burning apartment.

The Town of Rockland Board explored the potential cost savings of adding solar energy to the grid, and also approved the purchase of a new mower for safety and longevity concerns.
