I’ve been at this writing thing for more years than I care to admit, and have always copped to “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” when hearing that my use of certain words and phrases I’ve often bandied about are, well, just not cool.

I’ve stumbled across more than my fair share of things I can no longer say, much less put into writing.

What’s that? You’d like some examples? Fasten your seatbelt…

For 4-H members, the fair season begins as soon as the last one ends. From choosing new livestock projects to beginning non-livestock projects and planning our club display, scrapbook and club project, we are always busy.

A few months ago, I interviewed John Harvey, author of “Nature’s Pathways to Mindfulness.” At the time, I was intrigued by his in-depth research into the effect nature has on people.

The end of the summer seemed to be a good time to experience just what the book and author cover.

Ah, that first messy bite of local sweet corn, fresh from the farm stand, farmers’ market or your own backyard. Boiled, steamed or roasted on the grill—it’s a cherished ritual signifying the final flourish of summer.

“Maize” is the correct name for this remarkable species of grass, although “corn,” an 18th-century English word that was used generically to describe any staple grain or cereal food crop—including oats or wheat—persists in the English-speaking world.

Narrowsburg’s growth has long run up against one central problem: parking. The hamlet has only one public lot serving Main Street, a source of tension as shops, mixed-use buildings and seasonal visitors compete for space.

"In 2001, my living-room windows in Lower Manhattan looked out on the Twin Towers and a patch of sky," Cass Collins wrote in 2021, reflecting on that day two decades prior. "On 9/11 that view was wiped out in a blaze of fire and smoke and a haze of white ash that coated everything in sight."

New rules for discussion at the Sullivan County Legislature place restrictions on legislators’ discussions, as well as the public’s ability to offer input.

While legislators and members of the public questioned the rules as overly restrictive, legislature chair Nadia Rajsz promoted them as being necessary to ensure the legislature can efficiently conduct its business.

“By having public comment that goes on and on that is redundant and long winded, that also puts us back,” delaying county employees from going back and doing their work, she said.

Frequent public commentor Star Hesse said members of the public work long hours assembling helpful information for the legislators’ review—“and if you listened, maybe it wouldn’t have to be redundant and repetitive, but it doesn’t appear that people are listening; they’re just dismissing.”

By LAURIE STUART
In these days, I think a lot about comfort food. And cooking as inexpensively as I can.

I’m lucky. I have a large garden, so the equivalent of a grocery produce aisle or a farmers’ market is right out the front door in the sideyard!

Nonetheless, cooking with a minimum of ingredients, with the maximum of them unprocessed, is the most important thing we can do.

Don’t get me wrong! I’m all for healthy food, but don’t expect me to give up my comfort food. Or comfort in general.

Which brings us to today’s exploration.

The Farm Bill shapes nearly every part of American agriculture, from family farms and local food systems to nutrition programs and conservation efforts. Lawmakers and farmers say it determines who can access food, how crops are grown, and how farms stay in business amid rising costs and labor challenges.

At Ag Progress Days,an annual agricultural fair, U.S. Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson (R, PA-15), chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, emphasized that nutrition programs, especially SNAP, are central to the legislation.
