CROSS RIVER - It's been a week to remember for Arlington volleyball. On Saturday, the Admirals broke a drought for the program, winning the school's first Section 1 Class AAA championship in 15 years in dramatic fashion. Arlington avenged early-season losses to John Jay with a thrilling four-set victory to capture the sectional crown. Just four days later, the Admirals were back on the court. The results were the same in the end, just a little less stressful this time. Controlling momentum from the opening serve, Arlington grabbed a convincing three-set sweep over Section 9's Monroe-Woodbury in the New York State Class AAA subregional at John Jay-Cross River on Wednesday afternoon. It's been a dream week inside of a dream season for the Admirals, who are making sure to cherish the moments and achievements along the way. "It means the world to me.

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.
