WESTERLO — Florence “Flossie” J. Bichteman died peacefully on Monday, April 6, 2020, after an extended battle with Parkinson’s disease. She was 92.

Born on Oct. 26, 1927, she was the daughter of the late David Stott and the late Mary J. White. She was married to the late William F. Bichteman Sr. for more than 72 years.

Javid Afzali has officially resigned as Knox’s attorney and, at its April 7 regular meeting, the Knox Town Board hired Michelle Storm of Monaco Cooper Lamme & Carr to fill the position. 

SCHOHARIE — Volunteers are needed to sew, collect, wash, sanitize, and redistribute protective fabric masks for health-care professionals and first responders.

Peter Hotaling, Westerlo’s former assessor, withdrew the Article 78 proceding he had filed against the town after it unceremoniously allowed other candidates to apply for the position. Hotaling had been in the position for 19 years, and now works as Rensselaerville’s sole assessor.

The Helderberg Ambulance Squad has enlisted volunteers and is asking for more to help sew gowns to be worn by squad members as they work in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The gowns will be waterproof and washable, meaning they can be reused. “ ... We didn’t ever wear gowns that often so we didn’t have enough [when the virus hit],” Mildred Zuk, an emergency medical technician, told The Enterprise.
