42 degrees and crispy clear!

GREAT DAY FOR

FARMERS' MARKET!

11:00 - 5:00 in the Park


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

WKTV predicts that: "Wednesday will start off with partly sunny skies but chilly, with temperatures only near 50 degrees!

By Wednesday afternoon, clouds will build back into the region as winds turn to the east. With an easterly wind, there will be added moisture in the atmosphere. Pair that with some instability in the atmosphere, a few showers may pop up Wednesday afternoon and evening. Slightly cooler weather with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Unsettled weather continues for Thursday with scattered showers and highs in the mid to upper 60s. A potent cold front moves in Friday late afternoon and evening, with cloudy skies and scattered showers. This cold front will bring chilly but dry weather for the start of the weekend but a warm up by Monday." (my emphasis!)

Only two more days, and still looking good!!

Also on the WKTV website, this morning: "Incumbents Lose Primaries......."

The O-D carries a complete list of Primary Results. (Note: Both Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Brennan's names will be on the ballott in the General Election in November.)

Yesterday morning in the Park.

While Mike (Tower) and Blake stood on scaffolding attaching Fypon facing to the beam on the front of the Bandstand, mason Ray Drake guided concrete into the form for the front steps of the structure and DPW Superintendent Jamie Bechy and his crew raked and leveled, making sure that new pavement (which will probably be poured today) will meet old - precisely.

By afternoon, the stairs were done and .............

............ and Ray Drake was putting the finishing touches on the sidewalk leading from Park Place to the Monument Circle.

Today, watch for sidewalk from the front steps into the Park to be poured and for the elaborate balusters - which had already been assembled but then removed for safe-keeping - to be reinstalled.

If all goes as planned, the Bandstand - tho not completed - will be ready for use by musical groups all day on Saturday!

(To answer two FAQs: the Monument will be set in place later this autumn and the Formal Dedication of the Bandstand will take place next Spring.)

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

In the afternoon ...........

............. the DPW moved to West Main Street, between the Main Street Garage and Stewart's ....

.......... and attacked the "jungle" that had been growing next to the guardrail!
What a difference that made!

Jamie explained that it had been impossible for the men to cut around the roses, so those got trimmed, as well, but they'll be back next Spring.

Special visitors, taking it all in:

Marjorie Barnes and her son Tom, after lunch at "Michael's."

IN THE MAIL

From Becky Maggio:

"I just wanted to share with you that we had many members of our Legion Family (Legioniars, Auxiliary, SAL & Junior Auxiliary) volunteer to help out with cooking, transporting food and serving food to the Fort Drum Soldiers while they were here for the EMT Course.

We served them supper Wednesday the 9th and lunch and supper on Saturday the 12th.

We also had one of our junior members put together goodie bags for them.

We hope they will keep in touch. Many of them will be deployed in October to Iraq. God Bless them all."

"Where in the World is........"

GLEN CARROLL

?


1. He's not in Paris, any more.


2. The bathroom in his hotel room is 4' x 6'.

3. There are little "electric blankets" hanging next to windows, for super-cold weather.


4. But there's a familiar sign!!!

(More photos and notes just arrived in Waterville, where it's nearly 7:00 AM - eight hours later than Glen-time - and I'll post those tomorrow.)

FOR THE RECORD

Have a Great Day, Everyone!

See you in the Park!
