Petersburgh Holds Special Meeting On Water District Issues
by Alex Brooks
The Petersburgh Town Board held a special meeting on Saturday, August 4, to deal with some Water District matters.
Petersburgh Supervisor Siegfried Krahforst asked for Board approval to hire Ed Jones to do the mowing around the water tank, the pump house and the wells. The mowing has traditionally been done by the Water District Superintendent, but Krahforst felt it made more sense to have Jones, who mows other Town properties, do the mowing than to have the Water Superintendent do it, and the Board agreed.

ICC Banners Disappear
by Bea Peterson
For the last two months brightly colored six foot long banners have hung outside the main doors of Immaculate Conception Church in Hoosick Falls. Sometime between 10 pm Saturday, July 29, and 6 am Sunday the banners and the wooden poles that held them were ripped from the brick wall, leaving only damaged brackets behind.
“Between the bright colors and the gold pattern in them it was like the sun rising above beautiful Hoosick Falls,” said Fr. Tom Zelker, pastor of Immaculate Conception. He noticed the banners missing when he opened the Church in the early morning.
If anyone knows anything about the missing banners they should please notify the Church at 686-5064. The banners are rather unique and can be easily identified.
