ADK community policing, restaurants visiting Albany, Howl Podcast season preview
Q: What is the core aim of the Adirondack community policing trainings?

NY-21 primary races, state budget confusion, NPR's Scott Simon
Q: Did you envision this as a memoir by animal?
Scott Simon explains it wasn't his own idea; the publisher suggested a structure that uses animals to mark life milestones, turning personal experiences into a broader reflection on family and memory.
ORDA record visits, Sackets Harbor librarian, Glens Falls culinary student
Q: What's the experience like at the SkillsUSA state competition and how does Nationals differ?
Competing is intense but rewarding; Nationals give five hours to complete multiple stages—from breaking down a chicken to presenting entrees and a dessert—requiring thorough planning and practice.
ORDA record visits, Sackets Harbor librarian, Glens Falls culinary student
Q: When did you first become interested in cooking, and what sparked your passion?
I fell in love with cooking as a kid watching Food Network and experimenting with recipes with my grandma, which grew into a sustained passion supported by my family and mentors at BOSES and the Glens Falls culinary program.
