Tuesday

Happy Birthday, Allison!

The WKTV Weather forecast sounds good! Tuesday: Gradual clearing in the morning. Then sun and clouds, with perhaps a shower, primarily in the Adirondacks or hilltops south of Utica. High in the upper 70s
Tuesday night: Mainly clear and cool. Low around 55.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny and pleasant. High: 76, Low: 54

..... and the Weather Channel charts it this way:



Here in Lake Placid, there is alot of nice blue sky; the sun is shining, and the requisit layers of fog and mist hang in valleys between the mountains.

The Tigers chewed up Boston's Sox and the Yankees won, so the standings changer again!



A "reporter" in Waterville writes that, as far as she could tell, " Main St was relatively quiet yesterday. Crews were still fussing with brickwork here and there and continued to improve connecting bits between driveways and sidewalk.

Waterville Public Library booksale very busy at 10.30. Seemed to be selling well but thousands more books to sell ...
THE GARDEN at the Library was very dry and one fellow watering everything while others continued planting." She also remqarks that, " It is just great to see so much use being made of the Library. Older people using computers, mothers with strollers and even people enjoying the armchairs and reading various newspapers." She had been at the Hamilton Library on Saturday and thought that " it looked so old fashioned and crowded and dowdy."

And Mrs. Davis sent this jewel-like picture of berries on her Mt. Ash tree.



Here are just a few "Social Notes" excerpted from "In Timely Manner" - the writer's column for the Waterville Times - which reaches the "newsstands" soon after noon, today.

Mrs. Spearing, of Madison Street, accompanied by her daughter, LeeAnne Miller, spent a few days visiting her son Arthur and his family in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Joined there by her other daughter, Sharon, they all attended the high school graduation of Arthur’s son and then toured Amish country, which Sharon had never seen. Mrs. Spearing might have stayed in Harrisburg longer, but LeeAnne is the owner of Cottage Rose Antiques, one of the loveliest shops in Bouckville, and at this time of the year, no antique dealer would want to be elsewhere.

The Strohmeyers , of Putnam Street, have returned from visiting Mrs. Strohmeyer’s mother at her summer home in Bar Harbor, Maine. While there, they stuffed all the mussels, lobsters, clam chowder, tennis and kayaking into themselves and two short weeks’ time as was possible!

Mrs. Davis, of Sanger Avenue, was the weekend guest of her sister and brother-in-law, Joan and Clarence Carpenter, at their summer home on "Silver Birch Point," on First Lake in the Fulton Chain.

Congratulations to Jason Acker, the son of Gary Acker and Deborah Mayne, and Courtney Johnson, the daughter of Gary & Sheila Johnson of Oriskany Falls, who were married on July first at the White Eagle Conference Center in Hamilton. The newlyweds reside on Daytonville Road.

Mrs. Frances Mayne of Waterville had house guests on July 29th and 30th when her nephew Matt Manion and his daughters Olivia and Geneva stopped in on their way from a vacation in Rhode Island on their way back to their home in Richmond, Virginia. Frances, Doug & Deb Mayne, Matt, Olivia, Geneva, Lindsey Mayne and her guest, Brent Gilchrist, all met for dinner at Michael's on Saturday, the 29th.

That same day, a surprise birthday party was held at Cavallo's in New Hartford for twins Jason and Daniel Acker, who celebrated a "special" birthday!

And what a Special way to celebrate their Fiftieth Anniversary: Norm and Carol Tower’s five children, their spouses and seventeen grandchildren were all together at the Towers’ Summer Camp on Madison Lake, last week. After a special Mass at St. Bernard's Catholic Church on Saturday, all twenty-nine of them had dinner at the Landmark, in Bouckville. It surely was a “golden” family gathering for all of them!
