Wednesday

It's Recyclables Day!

It's also Tax Day!

*****************



THE GOOD NEWS IS:


34.5 degrees with blue sky!

WKTV's forecast starts: "Good morning Central New York! Bonus weather will continue through the end of the work week, with some changes by Saturday.

Another cool start this morning, but with brilliant sunshine temperatures are expected to get into the low 60s by the afternoon. Clear and cool tonight, with overnight lows near 30. Beautiful, warm weather will continue for Thursday and Friday. Highs will be in the low 60s on Thursday and will approach the upper 60s by Friday.

All good things must come to an end. A cold front will drop in from the north, giving us a few clouds and a few showers for Saturday. Cooler weather to follow on Sunday."

On Putnam Street.

The residence was built by entrepreneur George Putnam in 1868 and sold to E.C. Terry who, in 1871, sold it to Mrs. Alonzo Tower for $6,300.00.

She and her son, Howard, lived there for many years. On repeated occasions The Waterville Times reported that the two had "delightfully entertained about 150 of their friends at their pleasant home on Putnam Avenue." At one such event, music for dancing was provided by an orchestra and catering was by the Fort Schuyler Club of Utica.

After Mrs. Tower's death, and then Mr. Howard Tower's own, in 1932, the property became what was known for many years as "The Home for Homeless Ladies." In his will, Mr. Tower left some sums of money to the Presbyterian Church and also the Cemetery Association, but the remainder was left to endow a charitable corporation in memory of his parents. The Home closed in 1975 and contents were auctioned and property sold to a private individual by the Tower Foundation in 1976.

Outside of the village, in all directions, farmlands are being plowed, tilled, disked, and/or chiseled, all in preparation for the planting of this year's crops. Some farmers have already been drilling oats. Expect to see more fields of soy!
