A front loader full of toys were delivered just before Christmas, on Dec. 22, to the Bernard and Millie Duker Children's Hospital at Albany Medical Center. Here, members of the Berne highway crew, all wearing Santa hats, pose in the new salt shed in Berne with the toys. They were joined, at far right, by State Senator George Amedore. Standing to Amedore’s right, directly next to the loader, is Berne Highway Superintendent Randy Bashwinger.
