On WKTV this morning:
Oneida County Sheriff deputies are investigating a case of vandalism at Waterville High School Monday night.
"08 rocks!" was spray painted on the exterior wall of the gymnasium and could be seen from the entrance of the school. School officials say it will take a few days and several hundred dollars to clean up.
The sheriff's office is requesting anyone with information to contact Deputy Mark Chrysler at 736-0141 or 765-2754. All calls and information will be kept confidential.

It's 37 degrees; moist, but not raining.
FROM WKTV: "We'll have clouds around. But, we should gradually put the late April sun to work and see some breaks in the overcast by mid morning. Unfortunately, the cool air mass will allow new clouds and showers to develop with any sun, so we'll call it even, with showers, clouds, some sun and highs near 50 (but likely in the 40s most of the day in most locations)."
We really needed that rain.
The pond on Sally Road is barely larger than a puddle ........
.......... and, at the foot of Grant Hill,
new grasses are crowding out the usual mallards.

This is the time of year that Lou Langone is one of the most popular men in the village.
Dozens of residents have already sought him out at the Sewage Treatment Plant and have come away with bags of superior mulch for their shrubbery and flowerbeds!
***************
The words "sewage treatment plant" and "mulch" rarely make it to the headlines, but Lou and the Village have something really noteworthy going, down on Route 315: the only mulch manufactory in Oneida County and the envy of municipalities like Clinton and Cazenovia.
Lou told me a great story: when the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) came to inspect the plant, the visitors donned white suits, gloves, masks - the whole works - and Lou told them, "You don't need to worry!" And they said, "Oh, we're making sure that we don't contaminate your product!" (And they asked to take some with them!)
I'm going to go back to the Sewage Treatment plant this morning, and see how the month-long process of mulch-making works!

The Waterville High School Marching Band has made good use of the unseasonably warm weather during the last two weeks by practising outdoors. Their fundraisers last Saturday - the Bottle Drive in the morning and Spaghetti Supper later on - will help defray expenses of the Band's annual trip to Some Place Special. Where will that be this year? I heard a rumor of "New York!"
The winner of the "Wii"

Motorists traveling between Oriskany Falls and Waterville are slowing down at the crest of the hill to admire the scenic park that the McLanes have cleared at Sanger Hill.

There's nothing pretty about this!
Even the blogger is taking shorter and shorter "scenic rides in the country!"
