Wednesday Add-ons!

There are only two locations where any D.O.T. action is taking place:

1. At the Zirkles' and their neighbors on Sanger Avenue, little squares of sidewalk are being framed up between the main sidewalk and the front steps to houses.

2. At the front door of the Bank of America Building. Because someone with sharp eyes noticed that water had been running INto the doorway every time it rained, a large section of pavers is being removed. Presumably, there will be some re-grading and then pavers will be replaced!

Other action: for those who continually want to know "What's going on???" the best way to find out is to go right to the source. The regularly-scheduled monthly Waterville Public Library Board Meeting will take place this evening at 7:00 at the library.

Entertainment in town: tomorrow at Michael's, John Liebing, a one-man accoustical band offering a variety of musical styles from 7:00 - 10:00.

Trivia: Charlotte Buell Coman (1833 - 1924) grew up in Waterville and, like the Loomis girls, attended the Whitestown Seminary. There, her artistic talents were encouraged. Although her father presented several exhibitions of her work in Waterville, her abilities were neither recognized nor appreciated until she had left the country to live in France. It's fun, now and then, to see if there are any of her works on the market. The last one that sold was handled by Christie's in New York -- price not noted, but I'm sure it would have surprised everyone here, a hundred years ago!
