A man and a woman were found dead in an apartment in the Delaware County town of Delhi on Wednesday, Sept, 2, according to a press release from Delhi Police Chief Mike Mills.

Thirty-four-year-old Christopher M. Bailey and 25-year-old Krista L. Hess were both found in the apartment with evidence of intravenous drug use nearby, Mills said in the press release.

The cause of death is suspected to be a drug overdose, Mills said in the press release, but a final verdict won't be issued until the Delaware County Medical Examiner's office determines the cause of death.

A co-tenant found the pair in the apartment, which was Bailey's, police say.

Peggy Brueckner lives near the Peekamoose Blue Hole, an icy Catskills pool that is recognized as one of the best swimming holes in the country. Her family has visited the hidden spot for 50 years. But this summer, due to hordes of tourists and the tons of garbage they leave behind, Brueckner has been avoiding it.

"The locals here along Watson Hollow Road and beyond are heartbroken," Brueckner said. "There is litter all over the place. There are no laws being enforced and it a total mess up there. Campers are off the designated sites, people are in the middle of the road and it is a free for all! It's not even a family friendly place any more."

Jeff Senterman, the former Catskills program director of the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, was appointed the new executive director of the Catskills Center for Conservation and Development after the departure of former director Alan White. White completed his term earlier this month.

Senterman accepted his new position at a gathering of the CCCD's members on Saturday, Aug. 29. (A Senterman is still at the helm of the NYNJTC, though -- Jeff's brother, Doug, is the new Catskill program director at the NYNTC, after getting the job earlier this year.)

The Schoharie News, an online-only news website that reinvented itself as a print weekly broadsheet earlier this year, has thrown in the towel after 13 weeks.

The paper's owner, editor and founder Tim Knight, said that he decided to close the paper after he realizing that he was making less than half of what he made while working at a local deli.

Knight posted a closing editor's note about the newspaper's demise on Tuesday, Aug. 25:
