Any good fishing near New Paltz? Having some trouble finding maps of the local area, what’s currently stocked with what, etc. Other than the Walkill, any good spots?

I discovered a local farm in Patterson NY last year and have been attending a lot of their events. I’ve grown to love their cows and donkeys and they have a lot of fun events this spring/summer and thought I would let others know this place exists. I’m always looking for things to do with kids or a date night and these have been so fun!

More about Judge Bolin: https://law.yale.edu/yls-today/news/historical-profile-jane-matilda-bolin-31

(Judge) Jane Bolin Day (hereafter referred to as JBD) is named after Judge Jane Bolin,

a Poughkeepsie native, a trailblazer in American law, and a lifelong, humble advocate

for justice and equality. This event aims to honor Judge Bolin by increasing the

community’s understanding of her life and professional legacy and by offering

attendees opportunities to learn more about and support the same democratic issues

she championed. Additionally, the event explores contemporary diversity in the law,

centering on the experiences and achievements of current legal professionals, and why

and how diversity continues to be a requirement for a healthier multiracial U.S.

democracy and equal justice under law.

JBD will be offered annually, and we thank you for joining us in our program’s

inaugural year (4/11/26)! We appreciate your interest in celebrating the life and legacy

of Judge Bolin in both the Hudson Valley and beyond, as well as contemporary

diversity in American law. While JBD program formats and activities may shift from

year to year, the programs will always strive to offer an intellectually stimulating

environment conducive to learning for all, opportunities for community engagement

and collaboration, and a call to action.

We hope that everyone present learns something new, makes a community

connection, and is inspired to support diversity in their own sphere of influence and

power.

In solidarity and in community,

Dr. Taneisha Means Davis, on behalf of the BDC

I've been here since fall and it's not a huge need of mine but I haven't gotten a compliment once on my appearance/outfit/makeup etc. I'm from Southern California where genuine compliments are handed out like candy which I'm aware is a culture thing too. At my job it's kind of important that | present attractive and pretty and even there I haven't gotten one other than my coworkers. Is the culture here genuinely like that or am I perchance chopped
