Bob Ford's obituary appears in this morning's edition of the Utica Observer-Dispatch. It may also be found, and condolences posted, at the BENTZ Funeral Home website.

The WKTV Weather Forecast: "Unsettled weather returns to the region for the middle of the week.
Another upper level storm system will drop in from the north and affect our weather over the next few days. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be with us for the majority of today. The wettest part of the day looks to be in the late morning and early afternoon. Limited sunshine, with highs around 70. A few showers are possible tonight, especially late. Overnight lows in the mid 50s.

Unsettled weather continues into Wednesday with another round of showers and thunderstorms. Highs once again only near 70 degrees. High pressure will push the storm system out on Thursday with a return to sunshine and warmer weather.

Warming up for Friday and Saturday, with temperatures climbing into the 80s. Saturday night looks to be on the warmer side, most likely leading to a warm start to the Boilermaker. However, as a cold front passes the region, it wont be all that warm with highs on Sunday in the upper 70s. A shower or storm is possible early Sunday morning.

I'm not sure who owns this home on Rt. 12B, but the front flowerbeds are spectacular and well-worth a slow-down to enjoy!
(See note below!)

In my own flowerbed - referred to, this year, as "the weedery!" - the brilliant Rose Campion is in bloom ...........

.......... as bright as the wild rose.

I'm having intermittent internet problems, this morning, so will post this with a reminder:

FOR NEXT WEEK'S CALENDAR



SPAGHETTI DINNER

CLONAN POST BASEBALL.

MONDAY, JULY 13

at Clonan Post 1000

Oneida Street, Chadwicks.

$7.95 -ticket.

Diane Bancroft sent this information to me, explaining:

"This is an American Legion team for 15-19 year olds. Their home field is Sauquoit HS. (Waterville doesn’t have its own Legion team in this age group. Some Waterville boys play for Helmuth-Ingalls in Clinton.) Two Waterville-area ballplayers play for Clonan Post 1000 in Chadwicks. Kids do not pay a fee to play on this Legion team. They do fundraisers."

Thanks, Diane --- that sounds good!

FOR THE RECORD

I've just received an Email from Kristen Strohmeyer who has her hardcopy of this morning's O-D in hand, and says that:
"There's a photograph of Mike and Gretchen Tower's daughters, Sarah and Rachel, Irish dancing on the front of today's Local section."
Unfortunately, I can't find the photograph online.

Sandy Martin wrote, right away, to tell me that the Route 12B home with the gorgeous flowerbeds belongs to Russ and Torrie Stewart.

(Thanks, Sandy!)

And - the blog's working: Linda Rauscher, who is looking for 'lost' members of the WCS Class of 69, has already had one response!
