It's Garbage Day!
49 degrees; no precipitation.
49 degrees; no precipitation.
From WKTV: "On Thursday, we'll see a similar day to what we saw on Tuesday...clouds, some sun and temperatures about 10 degrees below normal. The majority of the day should stay dry, but we will keep a chance of showers virtually at anytime. Thursday night will see another disturbance kick through, which could get some help from Lake Ontario in kicking off a few thunderstorms. This would clear out Friday morning, leading to partly sunny skies on Friday afternoon, with temperatures in the upper 60s."

Yesterday wasn't the best for outdoor activities, but there were half-a-dozen bright displays at the Farmer's Market in the Park. Above, Edith and John Reile not only tempted our "sweet tooth," but also offered fresh, home-grown lettuce and hand-made baskets!
(I have not tasted them, but I understand from those who have that Edith's cream-cheesy pie crusts set a whole new standard for "deliciosity!" I CAN vouch for the tastiness of her molasses/raisin cookies!)

At another table, a large variety of plants; another vendor displayed arrangements of silk flowers and aroma alone drew hungry shoppers to two young men and their barbeque "pit."
"Long View Farms" from Deansboro was there, as always, with a large selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.

It appeared that the only things that were NOT to be found by this little shopper
were new front teeth!

If you slow down on Tower Street and look very closely, you can see that the new Black Walnut Trees - row after row of two-foot tall twigs - have all leafed out!
This photograph of the Townhouses on Madison Street will also give you an idea of yesterday's weather! It was DARK!
But BRIGHT, at the new Merri-Rose Flower Shop!

Just a little over three weeks ago - on Sunday, May 25th - Jim and Sylvia Crandall's 33-year-old son, Jamie, was sound asleep in his home in Marietta, Ohio, when he was struck in the face by a man whom he had fired a day or two earlier. The man didn't use a baseball bat or anything like that: just his fist, but he struck with such ferocity that Jamie's face was turned to pulp, and bones - including an eye socket - shattered.
Help arrived in less than thirty minutes and, in little more time than that, the assailant - who had told any number of people of his hatred of Jamie and of his plans - was apprehended.
Jamie was moved from Marietta to a huge hospital in Columbus where his mother met him and where reconstructive surgery was performed. Sylvia told me yesterday that although he still has a long way to go, Jamie is back at work and - best news - he WILL have the sight of the injured eye!
And yes - he'll be able to go to the trial!

There are lots of posters around the village advertising "Utica Monday Night" in Waterville!
On Monday evening at 6:30, Kelly Falk will present a program on (who else?) "The Loomis Gang" at the Historical Society on White Street.

Posters are also up promoting a June 28 Poker Run sponsored by the Legion Riders in support of the Cpl. John P. Sigsbee Memorial Fund. (I'll post details when I have them.)
