Albany County can resolve to be healthier by standing up to tobacco marketing

To the Editor:

We are just around the corner from the New Year and with that comes the barrage of hopes and resolutions for 2014, many of which center around the virtue of being healthier.

Community Christmas sing was beautiful

To the Editor: 

We held our 24th Community Christmas Sing at the First United Methodist Church in Voorheesville on Sunday evening. 

Members from the community and other churches joined us; it was a wonderful evening.

There is no “acceptable” number of accidents

To the Editor:

I am writing to express my opposition to the latest proposed expansion of Crossgates Mall.

Mall could use a third lane

To the Editor:

Maybe one of the conditions of the Crossgates Mall proposal should be a three-lane entrance from the Thruway and Northway.

This is always a congested place at this time of year.

Work progresses on updating town’s comprehensive plan

To the Editor:

It is a wonder any farmers can stay in business

To The Editor:

I commend The Enterprise on the editorial in this week’s Dec. 12, issue: “Amend the law so aging farmers can keep farming their land.”  This so hits the nail on the head!

Thanks for generous support

To the Editor:

As the year 2013 is drawing to a close, we of the Women's Auxiliary to the Knox Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank everyone who generously supported us in our community projects.

We want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I beg your pardon!

To the Editor:

Like many concerned residents in Guilderland and especially those with children in the school district, I have been following the cyberbullying story, telling of how four Guilderland high school teens have been arrested.

It has been a pleasure for 34 years

To the Editor:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of those who braved the weather on Saturday and came to the reception at the Berne Town Hall to wish me well on my upcoming retirement from my position of Berne town clerk.

Pedestrians have responsibilities as well as drivers

To the Editor:

This may not be a very popular opinion but, after just reading an article about a boy being hit in Middleburgh, I felt a more compelling need to write this letter beyond me just being frustrated with people walking out in front of vehicles approaching crosswalks or vehicles stopping traffic dead to allow people to cross.

Thanks for the party for Hilltown children

To the Editor:

I would like to thank the Albany County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Craig Apple for the Hilltown Christmas party for the Hilltown children.
