Newburgh supervisor race separated by just 15 votes

Democrat Stephen Krasner leads Republican Scott Manley by 15 votes in the race to be the next Newburgh town supervisor. According to unofficial totals posted by the Orange County Board of Elections on Nov. 4, Krasner had 5,991 votes while Manley had 5,976 votes. That means the race remains unsettled as absentee ballots are counted. Absentee ballots returned by mail must arrive at the board's office in Goshen by Nov. 10 in order to be counted. Krasner issued a statement after he was contacted by the Times Herald-Record on Nov. 4. "I am optimistic about how the final results will turn out, but it's important to allow the process to play out and ensure every vote is accurately counted before drawing conclusions," Krasner said in his statement. Krasner, a senior legal professional experienced in complex litigation, is making his third run for town supervisor. He previously ran unsuccessful campaigns in 2009 and 2011. He is opposed by Manley, a retired Town of Newburgh police sergeant who was first appointed a councilman on the Town Board in 2015. He was elected to the post later that year and has since been elected to two more four-year terms. What the candidates said:

Students express dismay over eight-foot tall Vassar champion

Trasgore Xanthas, an eight-foot tall magic-wielding warrior from the far off kingdom of Oetamushĩ has been raising eyebrows ever since his first blood-hunt across Vassar’s campus. In recent weeks, he has left quite the impact, subduing local hell beasts and closing a portal to the dark dimension that had recently opened near Central Receiving. Xanthas, a “Keeper of the Eternal Sky Flame,” was outsourced by the Campus Response Center (CRC) as a way to manage both external and internal threats, such as bicycle thefts, assaults and demon hordes. However, as more and more threats from the dark dimension emerge, a large group of Vassar students have begun to ask the question: “Is Trasgore Xanthas more trouble than he is worth?”
