Letter To The Editor – Thank You Doug
To the Editor:
I was born in Berlin and lived there for 17 years. I left to go into the service during the Second World War. I remember falling down up on the Plank Road, breaking my arm when I was about 10 years old. I was sitting on the side of the road crying, and Dougy Goodermote came by with his Model T car, stopped and gave me a ride home. I never forgot the kindness that he gave me. That was 75 years ago. I would like to give my condolences to his family and friends. God bless you all.
Thank you,
Bill Deyoe from Tucson, AZ.

Panther Boys Basketball Hosts Valley
by Ben Gaines
The Boys Varsity Basketball team took to the floor looking up at a tall team from Hoosic Valley, coached by Dan Calhoun. Ethan Ross, #21, a senior at 6’6” easily tapped the game opener to his team over Levi Brewster of Falls. The paint area would be owned by the daunting Valley Team that retained nearly every rebounding effort of the first and third quarters. “We need to work on our rebounding to eliminate second chances [for our opponent)] and put up more of our own,” said Coach Mike Lilac.

Panther JV Boys Basketball Keeps On Rolling; Cheerleader Tribute To Accident Victims
by Ben Gaines
The JV Squad came into the game looking to enhance their 19 game win streak against a skillful Hoosic Valley team. Both teams played well but the Panthers outshot and outrebounded the Indians to win the game 47-20.
The gymnasium seemed to be a bit quieter than usual. Then it all came into focus when Cheerleader Coach, Katie DiMaggio and her Captain, Liz Leva, came to request a photo of the Varsity Cheerleaders. The Squad had shelved their traditional Blue and White Hair Bows for an honorary Blue and Green Bow, the colors of Shen and Shaker, who tragically lost two students in a weekend auto accident on I87 in Clifton Park, after the vehicle they were in was rear ended by another.

Letter To The Editor – The Accomplishments Of The Hoosick Falls Student Body
To the Editor:
Words do little to express the significance of the accomplishments of the Hoosick Falls student body. Certainly, there are heroes, champions in abundance, individually and as teams, most notably the girls soccer and football teams. Their right to now proclaim themselves the best teams in their chosen sport throughout the ENTIRE State of New York cannot be denied. Hoosick Falls is indeed “Title Town.” You young people and your teammates, which include coaches, parents, cheerleaders and musicians, are to be congratulated and will be for many moons to come.
