Middletown withdraws petition – will not play for Section 9 championship game

GOSHEN – The members of the Middletown School District who were present at today’s court hearing to determine if the Middletown High School football team was going to be able to play in the Section 9 Class AA championship game withdrew their petition after learning that the judge was going to rule against the district. The withdrawal ends Middletown’s attempt to overturn a previous decision that forced the undefeated Middies football team to forfeit its Section 9 Class AA semifinal victory over Valley Central because of an ineligible player, and ends the team’s season.

A traumatized lanternfly speaks its truth

This past week, I had the privilege of interviewing one of Vassar’s most vulnerable: the spotted lanternfly. The bugs first arrived in the United States around 2014 and have kept their status as an invasive species since due to their, as one Facebook group puts it, “sex-crazed” ability to repopulate. However, since their arrival to campus in 2021, students have put it upon themselves to single-handedly exterminate them from Arlington. Possible reasons why lanternfly annihilation has become Vassar student’s latest pastime range from attempts at being environmentally conscious to taking their rage out in the bugs after failing their Intro to Clowning midterm.

Bidding wars for Long Island homes are so brutal, even all-cash buyers are getting burned

Frank DiMaio had the cash, a signed contract and $230,000 sitting in escrow. He still lost the house he wanted to buy. The orthopedic surgeon, who recently hung up his scalpel after four decades, spent much of this year trying to swap the Old Brookville estate he and his wife have called home for about 25 years for something smaller on Long Island’s North Shore. Instead, the couple got a front-row seat to the most cutthroat housing scrum in the country. “I’ve never experienced anything like this,” DiMaio told The Post. Long Island has become the hardest place in America to buy a home, with Redfin repeatedly ranking Nassau and Suffolk counties as the nation’s strongest seller’s market even as most big metros tilt toward buyers. Bloomberg via Getty Images He’s got plenty of company. Redfin has crowned Nassau and Suffolk counties the strongest seller’s market in America again and again, most recently clocking roughly 36% fewer sellers than buyers. Across most of the country, the pendulum has swung the other way, with 39 of the nation’s 50 biggest metros now favoring house hunters. On Long Island , nobody seems to have gotten the memo. The DiMaios thought they’d scored
