I would like to take this opportunity to thank the voters of Berne for their support in the election last Tuesday. One thing campaigning affords a candidate is the opportunity to walk up to people's homes and talk with them, answer their questions, and listen to their concerns.
Sitting in my college dorm, 250 miles from home, I am astonished (then again, not really) to see our little town of Knox is (yet again) raising the already high taxes, a whopping 3.14 percent, on its citizens.
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.
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.
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?
