Thursday - Garbage Day

Just about 58 degrees. It's just balmy, now, but the Weather Channel predicts another drippy day. The Big Question is: "How much will the rain slow down work in front of the bank and/or on the Buell Avenue sidewalk?"

Meet local author Terry Berkson, author of "Corvette Odyssey," at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday in the program room at the Waterville Public Library.

It was a car fanatic's nightmare. While Terry Berkson was visiting his new-born son at the hospital, his 1963 Corvette—a gift from his late father—was stolen off the streets of Brooklyn. An original blend of philosophy—why do we love our cars the way we do?—the nuts and bolts of crime, urban adventure, and the underbelly of America's car-crazed culture, Corvette Odyssey is sure to find its place on the shelves of auto fans and lovers of a fine tale well told. Terry Berkson has an MFA in creative writing from Brooklyn College. His articles have appeared in New York magazine, The New York Daily News Sunday Magazine, and Automobile magazine.
