Yesterday was a dandy day, here in Waterville, and today will be, too! Newsmakers will probably be various crews working on the Highway Reconstruction Project: stone masons building retaining walls and framing steps at the Woodman-Getman Law Office and.... who knows?

I know that baseball fans are waiting:
