Here are the top 10 stories on the Hudson Valley Patches in the past week (aside, of course, from the early reports on the March 20 snow storm).

The other most popular posts included business news -- new stores for the Jefferson Valley Mall, now undergoing extensive renovation -- and a health warning about canned tuna, as well as stories of police incidents and a piece about the continuing fallout from the 2010 fatal shooting of a black college student by a Pleasantville policeman.
