Recyclables Day

It's 55 degrees and sunny!

The extended forecast from WKTV:

FARMERS' MARKET OPEN FROM 11:00 - 5:00

I had Email from Ken Hazard, yesterday morning, saying: "Take a gander at the new landscaping around the flagpole at Terry Meadows!"

I did. That's nice!



A bright sight on Main Street: Crayola-color Kiddie Chairs, too!


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

The next Email came from Jean Desany, a former resident of the Village, now living in Amherst, New Hampshire:
"The picture of Lois Durant and Orange Blossom created a flashback for me. Back in the '90's when we lived in Whiskey Hollow, I was the proud owner of a moped - top speed 35 and 100 mpg. I only had to fill it twice a season.

The baggers at Food King would look out the window to see if I was riding on any given day. If so, they knew they had to pack the bags to fit the newsboy baskets that looked like saddlebags.

The baskets actually carried newspapers as well, since all three boys had routes and it was easier for Mom to do it during Boy Scout camp, etc. than to break in anyone new. I also "commuted" to the Harding Nursing Home and always got a great parking space.

We had a large garage sale in preparation for moving to New Hampshire and the only thing I shed a tear over parting with was the moped as it puttered up the hill to its new home on E. Bacon St.

Have a blast, Lois

Jean Desany"

Thanks for writing, Jean!

And THEN I received an Email from "the Village of Waterville" asking me to post the following -----

IT'S POSSIBLE!

*******


SKATE PARK CLOSURE A REAL POSSIBILITY

"Due to the repeated problems at the SKATE PARK, the Village Board is considering permanently closing it down.

There have been repeated problems with:

• trash all over the place,
• objects thrown on the electrical wires to the well pump housing causing a minor fire,
• motorized bikes driving on the well field causing damage.

PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT TO EVERYONE

that

IF THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE IT WILL BE

'BYE-BYE' TO THE SKATE PARK."

(Signed) The Waterville Village Board.

FOR THE RECORD


Angelica - now blooming in wet places along the road from Oriskany Falls to Solsville - has been used for both an herbal remedy and a sugary candy. I don't advocate either: it's just a neat plant to look at!

On the same road - look for Turk's Cap Lilies, hiding in the shadows keeping their feet wet!

Have a Great Day, Everyone!
