Letter To The Editor – Berlin Passes First Disaster Test
[private]To the Editor:[/private]
I would like to thank the Berlin Fire Company and the Berlin Highway crew for all their efforts during tropical storm Irene. Without the effort put forth by these people the Town would not have been able to react to the damage incurred by the storm.
I would like to thank Cyril Grant and the Berlin Central School for helping provide mats so the firehouse could provide shelter to evacuees from the Aqua Vista Campground, also Deputy Supervisor Tara Fisher and her husband Torg for transporting the mats to the firehouse.

Letter To The Editor – Setting The Rest Of The Story Straight
To the Editor:
I’m writing with regards to your article, “Berlin Town Board Action – The Rest Of The Story” (August 26). Included in the notes from that meeting were a few words from Town Supervisor Rob Jaeger regarding Our Valley Community Farmers’ Market, located on Brimmer Farm Road in Berlin. First, I thank Mr. Jaeger for his continued support of this project, both by spreading the word and through his patronage. I do, however, think it’s important to address two unintended mistakes made by Mr. Jaeger during the Board meeting.

Letter To The Editor – Does it Make Cent$?
To the Editor:
Many Grafton residents are not aware there are plans to address the exterior of the Town post office, which is in a state of disrepair. At a recent Town Board meeting our Supervisor announced plans to re-side the building with an attractive composite siding. To install this product, it was stated, the existing clapboard siding would have to be removed, then the new siding installed. There are plans to hire a competent contractor as a temporary Town employee to preform the work therefore avoiding the need to pay “prevailing wage,” a significant savings to the taxpayers providing labor hours are carefully controlled.
