Wednesday wrap-up

Sorry for the delay. The writer's "Mac" went to The Connecting Point in New Hartford, today, to have its memory increased. Now why can't I get the same service for MY brain?



A correction has been made to the curbing in front of the Hotel: the angles are less acute - perhaps that makes it less dangerous. But that's only ONE of several such "bulb-outs" that remain sharp and threatening - beware, especially, of the one in front of "Mac's"!




And finally - after parents of school children have been begging for crosswalks - those at the corner of Babbott and Main have been painted; chalk-line indications show where they will be at the intersection of Routes 12 and 315. Perhaps, by week's end, the most important crossing of all --- at Madison Street and Sanger ---bold white lines will have been applied.



Something's going on here on Tower Street: perhaps a new drain? or curbing? It's hard to tell.

This morning we gave you a sampling of the Writer's weekly column that runs in the Waterville Times.

Also in "the Times" - Page 1 Headlines:

"Mother Asks for Help" locating her daughter, Michelle Hutchings, who has not been seen since July 30.

"Ex-WCS Teacher Charged" with sexual misconduct.

"New Field Opens With 4 - 0 Run" recap of the WCS Varsity Football Team's win over Sauquoit, last week, on the artificial turf of Brothertown field.

"Augusta Wants One-Year Lease" Town officials ask for space in Oriskany Falls Village Hall.

Marshall Township Veterans of Foreign Wars Plaque deadline October 10.

And where else but in Waterville could a piece of United States Postal Service Mail addressed only to "Aunt Irene and Uncle Bill" get properly delivered? Or - yesterday - a post card addressed to "Rhoda and the Children" reached the correct recipients - members of the Historical Society's SRO Loomis Family Players!
