submitted by Phil Leonard
The Veterans Wall committee is working to get the wall ready for the dedication on 11/11/11 at 11 am. The five plaques containing the names of the veterans have arrived. The grinding wheel has been placed on the pedestal in the center front of the wall. The wheel will make a fine place for sitting and observing the plaques. The flag pole given to us by the Post Office is the next item to be placed. This will take a special base in order to have it firmly in the ground.

Letter To The Editor – Corrections?

By

To The Editor:
I attended both the Hoosick Falls Village and the Hoosick Town Board meetings last week, and I would like to correct some of the information in the articles in the October 14 issue.
I did not hear anyone on the Village Board say they did not know the Green Heights sub-division contract with the Town was expiring, although Supervisor Cipperly did say he was unaware.
