Letter To The Editor – Fix The Problems

By

To the Editor:
First of all, I have to agree with Mr. Nash. We do have serious health, safety and ADA compliance issues in this district. That is where it ends. These problems are not from neglect. Many times referendums have been drawn up to correct the problems. They have always been voted down.

Letter To The Editor – Safety First At GLSP

By

To the Editor:
With respect to the master plan for the Grafton Lakes State Park presented to the public last week, Fire Chief James Goyer makes an excellent and profound observation about the dangerous entrance to the Park.
Remediation of this problem should be the FIRST, most important priority. This situation is a life or death issue. The rest of the plan is like perusing the Christmas gift catalog and making a wish list. The ideas presented would all be very nice, but a safe entrance/exit is essential.
I suggest this go to the top of the list in an expedited manner.
Sincerely,
Anne Kiely
Carl Dippold’s Way, Grafton

by Ryan Mosher
The Berlin boys basketball team kicked off its season with games at Doane Stuart on Thursday and at home against Hoosic Valley on Friday. The quick start to the season did not go well for the Mountaineers as they dropped both contests.
Playing in the small gym at Doane Stuart, the Mountaineers had difficulty with the rebounding of the Thunder Chickens. Berlin could not find an answer to Doane Stuart’s Evan Schettini. The forward recorded a double-double, scoring 17 points and pulling down 10 rebounds.
