Hoosick Falls Bowling Scores and Village Landfill Talk
Hoosick Falls senior citizens bowling saw Mabel Costantino top the women with a 163 high single and 434 high triple while George Rogers led the men with a 158 high single and 452 high triple. The group meets Thursdays at 3 pm for residents aged 53 and up. The Village Board will decide next week on renewing John T. Merrill’s landfill contract or hiring a private operator, with bids possible if private contracting is chosen. Merrill argues a three year term is needed to buy new equipment and that a one year term is uneconomical.
