Suicides, overdoses up sharply in Ulster by William Dendis

uicides and drug over- doses have increased sig- nificantly so far in 2020 vs. the same time period last year. Sheriff Juan Figueroa Sspoke about the overdose issue earlier this month in a press conference an- nouncing that manslaughter charges would be brought against an Ulster County resident who provided fentan- yl-laced heroin to someone who later died of an overdose. “On top of the global pandemic, we still have our opioid epidemic,” said Figueroa. “Because of the pandemic, people are home, people are not working, and this issue has really taken off and spiked in Ulster County.” Ulster County Commissioner of Health Dr. Carol Smith said those factors also influenced the uptick in suicide. “The overall effects of the COVID-19 crisis, including social isolation, and financial and emotional stressors, have Drug overdoses have increased signifi cantly so far in 2020 vs. the same time period last year. disproportionately impacted vulnerable populations across the board, including County can visit: https://covid19.ulster- those suffering from suicidal ideation,” 2019 2020 Increase countyny.gov/mobile-testing/ said Smith. “Preventing suicide is a chal- lenge that requires the entire communi- Non-Fatal Overdoses 108 168 56% Kingston teen drowns ty’s active engagement and participation.

Food worries boost business at local nurseries

Roadside gardening shops and nurseries were Nat first nervous that they may have over- planted. That was not the case. “It’s been a busy spring,” said Becky Murphy, the daughter of Jim and Sue Boice, who own the multi-generation- al Boice’s Farm in Saugerties. In fact, nursery workers were so busy they had to answer questions while guiding cus- tomers to various plants and shrubs for which they were looking. “But in March, we didn’t even know if we would be able to open, if people would be able to come out,” said Murphy “We placed a self-serve table outside with cold-weather vegetables, herbs and pansies for two to or three weeks, and then in April we were open and busy.” All the nurseries have afety protocols in place, with masks being used and social-distancing signs posted. They also have all been selling vegetables as though people had been preparing for the Last Supper.

Spending eternity In Woodstock

by Tad Wise

n June 26, the day of his birth, Milton Glaser, international super- star of graphic design, artist, gourmet, educa- tor extraordinaire, and OWoodstocker for more than 60 years, died of a stroke. He was 91. His wife and constant companion Shirley was at his side. Milton died in New York City, where he was born. Magazines and newspapers, in print and on-line, have listed Glaser’s awards, prizes, and noted his most well-known achievements. These were indeed im- portant, but not as important as Glaser’s own humility in light of such honors. “Af- ter a certain point, we were accepted,” he told an interviewer in 1989, referring to a Museum of Modern Art show of designs by his first company. “Once that happens, everything becomes less interesting.” Milton had by then achieved financial independence. That status provided him greater emotional independence. As he explained in a 1985 interview with Woodstock Times journalist Liam Nel- son, Glaser said, “My work is for others. And it is always in response to a problem .… What I do for myself is in a sense less representative [of myself] than what I do for the world.” Nelson asked how Glaser went about solving a particular problem, “When you DION OGUST make yourself available,” he replied, “the Milton Glaser. ideas will come to you when you need them.” Part of the maelstrom of New York I do in the country.

Welcome to New Paltz High School Class of 2020’s commencement ceremony, an exercise in resilience, creativity and a desire not to be forgotten. I Senior year came to an abrupt end in mid-March as all schools and non-essential businesses were forced to shut down. Students went from their traditional, centralized, brick-and-mortar education to an ad-hoc, technology-driven curriculum conducted in physical isolation. Contact with teachers, friends and teammates were truncated. The future graduates watched the days slip into months as they lost their spring sports, senior ball, theatre productions and concerts. They began to think that graduation would be another lost ritual.

New Paltz High School valedictorian Wells Willett has won the National Merit Scholarship, worth $2,500.

New Paltz High School valedictorian Wells Willett has won a National Merit Scholarship. He was chosen from more than 15,000 national semi-finalists. Wells earned a GPA of 101.2, which factored in his performance in five advanced placement classes. He is the captain of both the cross-county team and Nordic ski team, in which he was named a section champion. He is an avid cyclist and hiker. and participates in triathlons. Wells will apply the scholarship funds toward tuition costs at Dartmouth College, where he plans to double major in environ- mental science and applied mathematics. NPHS calculus teacher Kathryn Stewart wrote a recommen- dation letter Willett as a “mature and creative human and prob- lem-solver.” He developed STEM programs for local schools and outdoor camps, and has a myriad of diverse interests and abilities. “I have become interested in the ethics of animal consumption, as a result of my study of environmental science and it’s focus on animal consumption in the environmental lens,” said Willett. “This has been a fascinating topic for me, and has prompted me to dras- tically reconsider my position in the world and the relationship I should have towards other beings on the planet, both human and non-human.” July 1, 2020 Ulster Publishing Hudson Valley One | 13
