Thursday

It's Garbage Day!!


52.5 with patchy clouds.



From the Observer-Dispatch: "The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a freeze watch that will be in effect from late Thursday night through Friday morning. Temperatures are expected to fall sharply after sunset Thursday under clear skies and light winds. Readings by sunrise Friday are expected in the 30s across Central New York.

A widespread frost is anticipated with some of the normally colder places possibly falling to 32 degrees or lower. A freeze watch means sub-freezing temperatures are possible. These conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation."

However ---- WKTV adds: "Fair weather will build in and allow for continued sunshine Friday and Saturday. Temperatures should warm back up into the 70s by Saturday afternoon."

Special Notice from DPW Superintendent Jamie Bechy:

Villagers were so generous with GREEN WASTE, on Tuesday, that the truck was full before collections had been made on all village streets. The pick-up (on those streets only!) will be completed on Friday.

It was a bright blue afternoon, yesterday, the sort that pilots call "severe clear," I think.


A "V" of Canada Geese headed south above Hanover.


This tree, on White Street, gleamed like rubies and garnets in the afternoon sun ....


.... and woodbine shone on a tree trunk on Berrill Avenue.



Extensive refurbishments are under way at this Madison Street residence .............


........... and freshly sealed driveways are a familiar sight all around the community.

A Change / Correction: The Women's Club will NOT be having a Pie Sale (at the Cruise in) but "the Garden Club will be selling little bags of cookies and fudge - and Mums. The idea is that people can munch as they wander around."

You are invited to attend a piano recital by

SAR-SHALOM STRONG
Friday, September 19, 7:30 p.m.
First Presbyterian Church
1605 Genesee Street, Utica

The May 2008 earthquake in China hit hard at Hamilton College, where many students of Chinese background are a part of the community. Several students arranged to go to China to assist relief efforts, a plan that was thwarted when a massive aftershock did further damage. Recovery, however, will take years, and students are already planning to assist in China next summer. Sar-Shalom Strong, who teaches piano at Hamilton College, has volunteered to present a benefit recital to aid recovery from this tragedy. All donations will be forwarded to the Hamilton College Disaster Relief Fund, an account of the Trustees of Hamilton College, and will be used to support earthquake relief efforts. Ushers will be at the doors following the recital to accept donations from all who wish to give. Checks should be made payable to First Presbyterian Church.

Sar-Shalom Strong is one of the best known pianists in Upstate New York. He has gained widespread recognition for his sensitive performances of solo and collaborative repertoire. Recent performances have included chamber music of Brahms and Shostakovich with the DeVere Quartet and a recital with flutist Rebecca Ashe in Kansas City. Other recent performances include Saint-Saens’ Concerto No. 2 with the Utica Symphony Orchestra, a recital with flutist Dana DiGennaro at Lemoyne College, and chamber works for the Society for New Music and for the Skaneateles Festival.
