Phebe Bull Slaughter a trailblazer in Orange County
In Chester, CHRIS FARLEKAS profiles Phebe Bull Slaughter, who at a teenager became Orange County’s first woman deputy sheriff protecting Bull’s Pond from poachers. Now in her late 70s she reflects on family ties, notebooks titled Phebe’s Memories, a home built in 1792, and a life of service, faith, and busy living despite potential sale of her ancestral property.

School drug education programs do they work in orange count
Community reactions split on the mandated program as students claim little lasting impact while officials cite mixed results. Some Middletown and Pine Bush students see minimal learning from films and lectures, while others report peers seeking help and schools piloting active, community based approaches. Districts plan a health coordinator and model projects to deepen education beyond classroom lectures.
