Controversy at School Board Hearing Over Open Sessions
At a Wednesday session in Mechanicville the school board clashed with Superintendent Donald Kearns over whether his malfeasance and insubordination hearing should be public. Acting president Virginia Moore and Dr. Paul Loatman defended keeping hearings closed, while Kearns and attorney Donald Carola pressed for immediate public access and a transcript.

In Kinderhook and Round Lake reports, local events include KinderKrafters craft festival on May 14 and a Round Lake Hose Co. fundraisers with food and rummage sales.
