Berlin Fire Company Installation

By

by David Flint
The Berlin Fire Company held its Installation Banquet this year at the Poestenkill Fire Hall. “We thought we’d try something a little different this year,” explained Berlin Fire Chief Billy Osterhout. Although the trip across the Plank Road with on and off snow squalls may have reduced attendance slightly at the event held on February 27, most agreed that the change of venue to Poestenkill’s spacious and sparkling hall, along with a splendid roast beef dinner served up hot and tasty by members of the Poestenkill Fire Company, was a very pleasant variation.

At The Public Hearing Most Want The Cherry Plain Cell Tower

By

Mariner Tower intends to place a 150 ft. cellular tower on the Goodermote property in Cherry Plain. A number of Berlin/Cherry Plain residents currently lack cellular coverage, and the tower will provide access for most, if not all, of them. Before the Town can decide on the proposal, however, a public hearing was legally required. The hearing, which was held in Berlin High School’s auditorium, gave the community an opportunity to voice their opinions about the proposal. Some residents were vehemently against the tower; others believed it would be an invaluable asset to the Town.
