Dayna Halprin, Cristal Staten and Juanita Sarmiento have recently gotten to know each other very well. They may have not known each other before, they may come from very different backgrounds, but now they are united in a common cause.
The three young people have become very involved with local Black Lives Matter protests that have been happening around the region. Not only are they attending these events, but also organizing their own.
After the former Village of Monticello Acting DPW Superintendent Raymond Jones was caught on camera using racial slurs, they quickly rallied together and organized a protest in Monticello, where Staten was a main speaker.

SC Democrat Podcast Episode 24: Special Podcast with Sullivan County Treasurer Nancy Buck
Our Staff Reporter Isabel Braverman interviews Buck about the impact COVID-19 has had on the county economically.
It's no surprise that experts predict a hit to the economy; during this time, Buck paints a bleak future for the county's state of finances.
Catskill Regional Medical Center's Emergency Management Committee routinely conducts drills for anything from active shooters, mass casualties and even pandemics, hoping these things never occur, but ensuring there is a plan in place when a crisis does strike. And to these committees, which are formed at hospitals across the globe, it is widely believed that a pandemic is the worst-case scenario. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, for the first time in his 25 years of hospital leadership, Catskill Regional Medical Center (CRMC) CEO Jonathan Schiller had to activate one such plan.
Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther wants her constituents to know that she is there for them. As the coronavirus pandemic impacts the entire world, New York has become the epicenter in the United States.
“I hope all our residents of both Sullivan and Orange counties are hanging in there; this has been a really difficult moment in all of our lives,” Gunther said in a phone interview with the Democrat. “I want everybody to know that if you call my office… we're available, and any question is one that we're interested in and if we can help you in any way please call.”
It's been in the news that the federal government passed a coronavirus relief bill that includes funding for most Americans, as well as business loans to hopefully help the economy endure this difficult time.
The Democrat sat down with State Senator Jen Metzger via Zoom this week to discuss some of the most serious issues facing New Yorkers amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
“This has been an incredible challenge. So many of our small businesses are struggling and wondering about whether they'll be able to reopen with such a prolonged closure.”
After New York on PAUSE was extended by Governor Andrew Cuomo until May 15, Metzger stressed that we have to rely on public health experts to advise us as we move forward to reopen the economy.
While our personal health and that of our loved ones is at the forefront of our minds, a close second is the state of the local economy. On a special episode of the Sullivan County Democrat Podcast, Staff Writer Patricio Robayo and Co-Editor Joseph Abraham interviewed Sullivan County Partnership for Economic Development President/CEO Marc Baez, Sullivan Catskills Visitors Association President/CEO Roberta Byron-Lockwood and Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Jaime Schmeiser about how their agencies have been assisting local businesses during this crisis.
Here are your headlines from the March 17 edition of the Sullivan County Democrat newspaper.
For our first episode, we present to you a press conference held by the Sullivan County Department of Public Health on March 13. The press conference brought together officials from across the county to discuss the current state of COVID-19 and what the county is doing in response.
