The New York Yankees, who had been dragging before their game in Cleveland on July 5th (which we remember very well!) have soared above all predictions and, as of yesterday afternoon, left Boston in the dust, behind by 6.5 games!
I've gleaned but slim second-hand news from last evening's Village Board Meeting. In addition to the regular attendees was Ms Teresa Lutoborski of "Landscape and Prospect," in Syracuse, who provided reference material for use by the Planning Board in their work on the Comprehensive (Master) Plan. She is familliar with Waterville, having prepared, several years ago, a "street scape" plan which she designed for implementation during the Highway Reconstruction Project (but which has not been put into use) and has also prepared a site plan for the location of the proposed Memorial Bandstand and future landscaping of the Park. She, herself, does not prepare complete Comprehansive Plans, but is aware of several agencies and individuals who do.
Mr. Ostrander sends word that final paving will begin AFTER Labor Day. When I spoke with Mr. Jack Bennett of TIOGA, about two weeks ago, he offered the information that, because TIOGA has "in excess of twenty projects" all ongoing in this part of the State, it is difficult to acquire materials or schedule activities (like milling or paving) just when he'd like them: therefore, the delay.
We're told that there was a "positive response" from the Board to the suggestion that trash receptacles be acquired for the business district.

We're as eager as any to read this week's issue of the Waterville TIMES which, 'tho dated Wednesday, August 23, will actually be printed this morning and reach "news stands" soon after noon, to see if the Library Board has provided the Editor with any clarification in re: last week's advertisement seeking applicants for the position of Library Director. Many in the community are puzzled: "We thought we had one!"
