Warwick library cutback faces minority librarian loss
Warwick Valley Central School District plans to eliminate one librarian position to save money amid tight finances. Dr. Howard Sleight said only the school board can reinstate the post, while WVTA calls for reconsideration, arguing it endangers the elementary library program. The district argues savings are modest but necessary as state and federal aid shrink and costs rise.

Lettuce harvest to nudge prices modestly in Pine Island
Pine Island area growers will begin harvesting lettuce later this month. Orange County extension agent Horace Smith says supplies from nearby fields will have only a limited impact on prices, which have spiked to 79 cents per head, as California remains the major lettuce supplier. Boston lettuce harvest may start around June 15, with iceberg crops following in late June as weather improves and field work resumes.
