Board of Ed vacancy, bus proposition on the ballot
Hilary Hawke in The Ravena News-Herald reports on Nov. 15 Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk school district voters will fill a vacancy with either Sarah Hafensteiner, Rodney Krzykowski, Judith Sylvester, or Darcy Micelli and reconsider a scaled-down version of a bus proposal that was defeated by voters last May. The proposal was reduced from $538,378 to $437,141. Voting is open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. at RCS High School.

Look what you did
Diane Valden in The Columbia Paper has one of the best leads in local memory:

It’s official: Salvatore Cascino did all the bad things the town said he did, and now he has to fix them.

That's the opener for a story about the November 3 decision from Acting State Supreme Court Judge Jonathan D. Nichols permanently forbidding Cascino from ever again engaging in "certain illegal activities" on his 300-acre property Copake Valley Farm, along the east side of Route 22.

Birthdays
