It's a great morning!

From the Weather Center at WKTV: "Clouds will be on the increase as we head through the day today. The best part of the day will be in the morning, with some breaks of sunshine and light winds. Winds will pick up as we head into the day today, along with thickening clouds. The afternoon looks grey but dry. High temperatures are expected to climb into the mid 60s...about as warm as yesterday. Rain is expected to move in as early as 5PM today.

Rain will continue overnight, as a warm front passes through the region. Friday looks unsettled, with scattered showers, clouds, and perhaps even a thunderstorm. Highs will be in the low 70s. If we get any breaks of sunshine, the likelihood of thunderstorms will increase. A cold front will pass through late in the day, bringing with it cooler weather for the weekend.

The weekend looks cool, but mainly dry. High temperatures are expected to be near 60 degrees both Saturday and Sunday, with a mix of sun and clouds."

The DPW was mowing and then mulching. (I believe that they use wood chips for that, but both the municipality and many flower gardeners are loading up trucks, car trunks and containers of all sorts with compost from the wastewater treatment facility on Route 315.)

Also there to welcome her home were her Aunts Gail Prentice and Darlene Kemp and Darlene's daughter, Shannon and of course her Dad, Kevin Bancroft, who is an assistant Varsity coach."

from Mary Fanning:

"On Tuesday evening, April 28th. Crystal Chapter #188, Order of the Eastern Star greeted approximently 80 guests for the Official visitation of the District Deputy, accompanied by the District Grand Lecturer of the Lewis-Oneida District. A light repast of a chicken salad plate and homemade pie was served in the dining room. The theme of the evening was"Springtime in the Country" The tables were decorated with centerpieces of yellow daffodils,tulips and forsythia tied with bows of yellow and white checked ribbon. Members of Sanger Lodge were waiters.

Following the repast guests were entertained by the Waterville Central School Swing Choir. Many of the guests come because they love to hear the Swing Choir and see our historic Masonic Temple.

The meeting in the Chapter room included guests from the Delaware River Gap to Syracuse, Binghamton and down in the valley to Ilion and Mohawk and North to Old Forge-Inlet.
