Tuesday - Add-on for Rusty!

It's BIG TRASH day!

57.2 degrees.

WKTV's meteorologist predicts that: " ..... a weak area of high pressure will promote sunshine across the area. Look for afternoon temperatures to climb into the upper 60's.

Another storm system will approach the area for midweek. We'll see an increase in clouds tomorrow night with a good chance for a period of rain on Wednesday. Look for highs 60-65.

As an area of high pressure settles just to our east by the end of the week look for sunshine and warmer temperatures to return.

There may be a decision - soon!

At last evening's Village Board Meeting, DPW Superintendent Jamie Bechy (saying that it was really Lou Langone's idea!) proposed placing the informational kiosk in a location that had not been suggested, before, but which seemed to "fill the bill" in that it is:

• on Village property
• is level and not cluttered with underground wires or pipes
• the structure would not create a traffic hazard
• there is safe parking space for passing motorists and
• the site is easily accessible to pedestrians.

The site is a sizable "bump-out" at the junction of Rt. 12 and Madison Street, adjacent to but not part of Monument Park. (I'll take pictures later today.)

At any rate, the proposal was met with many smiles and expressions of agreement. No final decision was made, but it looks hopeful!

Even better....... (and Dick would be so pleased!)

Dave Carlson of Carlson Associates of Cooperstown, planner and grant-writer, was at the meeting to schedule a conference with the Planning Board, Mayor and Board of Trustees.

Finally, a Comprehensive (or "Master") Plan is in the works for Waterville!

On the lighter side .......

Rusty and Joan have just sent me this Good Morning picture from Brookfield!


and Greg sent this for Rusty from San Diego, California!


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

Rhododendrons (from the Greek: rhodos, "rose", and dendron, "tree") are blooming! These are at the Woodhouse residence on Madison Street and there are more right across the road at the Murphys' and throughout the village, as well.

HAPPENING THIS EVENING

After dark, look for fireflies! (or "lightning bugs.")

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

I realize that the views don't quite match, but can you believe that this is what West Main Street looked like three years ago?

Need a change of scenery? Ask Matt and Tracy Tanner about their
trip to Peru and climb up Machu Picchu! (14,000 ft.)

If local news is boring, and national news confusing or stressful, a cousin of mine suggests:

Read about The Royals!
(The official website of the British Monarchy)

FOR THE RECORD

Have a Great Day, Everyone!
