NEWBURGH – “Welcome home!”. The joyful, emphatic chant resonated throughout the interior of 43 East Parmenter Street Saturday afternoon, as the packed living room crowd put the closing exclamation on Habitat for Humanity’s 120th Dedication.

The result is a deep, personal connection to that residence along with special, unbreakable bonds with the entire Habitat team who work right alongside them.

A traumatized lanternfly speaks its truth

This past week, I had the privilege of interviewing one of Vassar’s most vulnerable: the spotted lanternfly.

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.
