To the Editor:

We are neighbors of Vaslios Lefkaditis, and would like to take this opportunity to state what a good neighbor, and family man he is.

A great softball game was played between Berne-Knox-Westerlo and Mayfield last Thursday; it took extra innings to decide the winner.

BERNE — The elongated winter season already pushed back the start of the Section 2 baseball season by two weeks, and now the recent spell of rain has created more of a log-jam in the schedule.

WESTERLO — Joseph W. Rapp, a loving and dedicated family man who liked to laugh, died on April 21, 2014, surrounded by his wife and family, after a courageous battle with lung disease. He was 82.

Mr. Rapp was born in South Berne on Aug. 4, 1931, the son of the late William Rapp and Anna Mayrhofer Rapp.

March 31, was still winter. The sidewalks were very icy and we received two-inches of snow during the night.

My sister, Pat Sykala, picked up her daughter, Sondra Weingand, in Voorheesville and then me and we drove to Starkville to visit our sister-in-law, Linda Richardson.

Monday, March 24, was a cold 9-degree above day. But, it was my Zoey day and everything was warm and cozy.

My loving granddaughter, Kassi Rae Neal, came over and had lunch with us. She carried Zoey around like an airplane and Zoey giggled loudly.

BERNE – The Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary School will hold an orientation on March 26 at 6 p.m. for the parents of incoming kindergartners.

If you have a child that turns 5 on or before Dec. 1, 2014 and have not yet received a packet in the mail, please call Mrs. Farnam at 872-2030. 

A deal has been made between the Schoburg varsity football team and Berne-Knox-Westerlo to allow BKW students to join Schoburg for 2014.

 HILLTOWNS — The BKW Little League president says he was thrilled as a kid at Christmas to have the ValleyCats reclaim a field ravaged by tropical storms in 2011. He’s looking for volunteers to help.
