GCSD projects will protect community’s long-term investment in its schools

To the Editor:

On Thursday, Nov. 14, Guilderland Central School District residents are asked to cast their vote on two proposed building projects totaling $18.2 million.  If approved by voters, the projects will address various essential internal and external building improvements districtwide.

Our decision was not made exclusively on student playing time, unhappy parents, or surveys

To the Editor:

We would like to thank the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District community for its valuable input regarding our 2002-2012 varsity basketball coach, Andy Wright, and the future of our varsity basketball program.

Happy 330th, Albany County: Celebrate our history and future

To the Editor:

I am so proud to be the fourth Albany County Executive to represent our great county. Looking back at our history on our 330th anniversary, I am honored to call this diverse place my home.

Pets enliven our halls and led us to donate

To the Editor:

If you’ve been to our assisted living community, you would probably notice the dogs that roam the hallways, greeting guests and residents. While we have our live-in dog, Buddy, there are also several staff members who bring their pups to work on a regular basis.

Guilderland Showed it Cared

To the Editor:

On a beautiful afternoon at Tawasentha Park, the Guilderland community gathered with friends, colleagues, and family to support the Friends of Guilderland Athletics concert fund-raiser for freshman sports and the Rodino Family.  

My name was used without permission

To the Editor:

I will be retiring after 40 years of service as the town clerk to the town of Rensselaerville.

I have learned that the Republican candidates for the town of Rensselaerville have used my name in their campaign literature.

Focus in sports needs to be on the kids

To the Editor:

I received a call from a reporter from The Enterprise last week. The first question asked was regarding playing time. Playing time is always an issue in sports, especially in basketball as there are only five on the court at once.

Knee-jerk reactions need to be tempered

To the Editor:

My political career is very short. I was elected to the Knox Town Board two years ago and had been the freshman until Amy Pokorny came on board last year. As I have been learning the intricacies of town government, I have gained a great appreciation for what it takes to run our town.

We need your help to make Christmas merry for Hilltown families in need

To the Editor:

Runion takes a practical and common sense approach

To the Editor:

As the coming election for Guilderland town supervisor approaches, I feel compelled to express my support for Supervisor Kenneth Runion. I have operated a number of businesses for the last 40 years in the town of Guilderland and also lived in the town a majority of that time.

Golden and Emory have experience and ability to handle complex issues

To the Editor:

Mr. Grimm doesn’t do his homework

To the Editor:

Grimm wants to exert influence over all town entities

To the Editor:

I am mystified by Mark Grimm’s comments in response to questions printed in the Oct. 17 issue of The Altamont Enterprise.   He felt the role of town supervisor included taking public positions on issues of other taxing authorities in the town.

Did the school board get it?

To the Editor:

We wonder if the school board at Berne-Knox-Westerlo got it Monday night, Oct. 21, with all the people who spoke in favor of Coach Andy Wright keeping his job as varsity coach.

I’m disappointed in Knox ‘progress’

To the Editor:

I never thought I would be compelled to write another letter concerning the future of Knox.
