Eye level: Jacob Crawford, Guilderland’s Democratic Party chairman, left, kneels to talk with Eugene Napierski, who uses a motorized scooter, before the caucus. After a close vote, Napierski was added to the committee that fill vacancies. Napierski was a caucus surprise. Less than a year ago, Napierski, with his daughter and law partner, Christine Napierski, filed a lawsuit against the town after the Democrats had not backed her to keep her appointed post as town justice. Guilderland’s Democratic committee is looking into whether to change from a caucus to a primary system, but has not yet made a decision. See related article.

Group hug: The Guilderland softball team swarms home plate after teammate Kendall Rafferty, smiling, completed the first of her two home runs in the game. Guilderland battled the Ballston Spa Scotties in an early season Suburban Council matchup on Friday afternoon at home. The game started as a pitchers’ duel but then the Scotties’ bats woke up and the Dutch fell behind. A Dutch rally fell short in the 11-to-6 loss. See gallery.
