Joys of life far outweigh the sorrows

To the Editor:

Often in life we are faced with difficult situations. Sadly many take matters into their own hands and end their lives.

We must remember the joys of life far outweigh the sorrows. The sadness may seem relentless; however, suicide is a hurtful and rash act and it deeply wounds those who know and love us.

Contribute to save Camp Little Notch

To the Editor:

OK, I'm on a mission — a fundraising mission; it's been a few years since I've asked friends and family for money, so I figure you must have a few dollars burning a hole in your pockets or purses — especially if you were a former camper up at Camp Little Notch in Fort Ann, New York.

We need to protect our environment

To the Editor:

The environment is the most important part of our community.

We think that we should start a program called Green.  In the program, we would clean up the environment.

We should help the needy

To the Editor:

Every year at one of the town's parks they should have a fundraiser to donate money, food, toys, blankets, and clothes to people in need of them.

They should do this because it is for charity and a very good cause.  At this donation, we could sell Girl Scout cookies, baked goods, and other items.

We need a safer school playground

To the Editor:

We think that we need safer equipment on the Berne-Knox-Westerlo school playground because some kids fall off the equipment and get seriously injured.

Warm clothes collected for Hilltown kids

To the Editor:

From Oct. 27 to Nov. 17 the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Key Club will be collecting new and gently worn winter coats and snow pants to be distributed to children in the Hilltowns during the holiday season.

Girl Scouts need more leaders

To the Editor:

In Girl Scouts, we do fun stuff like camping, sleepovers, bake sales, food drives, community service, hanging out with our friends, fundraisers, eating cookies, etc.

Helderberg Haven offers elder care three days a week

To the Editor:

Of the many positives to living in our beautiful area is our ability to take care of ourselves while we care for each other. This letter is to let the community know that there is a new adult day program called Helderberg Haven.

Following in my father’s footsteps on an Adirondack adventure

To the Editor:

This past Columbus Day weekend, Boy Scout Troop 79 from Berne-Knox-Westerlo went on a three-day canoe trip on the Oswegatchie River. The river is west of Tupper Lake and near Cranberry Lake.

I bring experience, knowledge, and expertise to the Berne Town Board

To the Editor: 

I have had the privilege of serving on the Berne Town Board since January.  We have worked well as a team, each bringing our own distinctive set of skills and points of view to the table. 

Why take a chance on someone with no direct experience as highway super?

To the Editor:

Judging by the number of political signs, it seems that the position of the highway superintendent in Berne is one of the most hotly contested. But what does this position really entail?

Debate showed Senator Tkaczyk had clear and specific views on issues

To the Editor:

VCSF Evening at the Orchard a success Let us know what you need this year

To the Editor:

Calling all ghouls and goblins!

To the Editor:

The New Salem Volunteer Fire Department invites you for a tour of our Punkintown Scaregrounds.  We have transformed our fairgrounds into a haunted neighborhood full of spooks, skeletons, scarecrows and surprises. 

Thrift-shop success due to many people

To the Editor:

I want to thank [Enterprise Hilltown reporter] Marcello Iaia for writing the nice article about the thrift shop that has opened at the Helderberg Evangelical Lutheran Church in Berne.  We were pleasantly surprised how many new people we had visit the shop this past Saturday because of the article.
