Thursday morning Supplement

O.K. We're back in running order, thanks to the in-house expert, and have also been for a morning ride-around.



A motorist on his way to work phoned quite early to say that Hutchings Tree Service was at the corner of Sanger Avenue and Park Place. That's the corner where the D.O.T. couldn't seem to figure out how to make the sidewalks handicap accessible because the base of the maple was so much higher than the roadway. Now we know how.



Down towards Sangerfield, where retaining walls have been built, the forms are being put in place for sidewalks.



On Buell Avenue - Route 315 - the new sidewalk now reaches beyond the Crowe residence. We expect to see Waterville's honorary Sidewalk Superintendent, Patrick Mangan, checking out the entire, luge-run stretch later today or tomorrow.



There seemed to be a high-level conference taking place on E. Main Street. Perhaps the subject under discussion was the "hole" in front of the Bank building.

No matter where they were, those work crews all looked cold: barely above 40 degrees, there was a cold rain until about 9:00.



Out on Sanger Avenue, one doorway is right in season! It looks pretty!







Just as nice to see - 'tho no warmer! - the gardens around the Library. Perhaps later today I'll go back and do what I've been meaning to do nearly all summer: count the number of authors and the titles of books on the stones in the center of the "Children's Garden."
