It's Monday, again!

It's the Columbus Day Holiday - even for the Waterville D.P.W. - so there will be NO GARBAGE COLLECTION TODAY! The Library's Closed, too, but we're going to collect another sunny Fall Day that's starting out at 47 degrees.!



GARBAGE COLLECTION - Tomorrow
RECYCLABLES - Thursday
GARBAGE - Friday

I have only two things to report from yesterday's very brief Ride in the Country:
1. Hinmans on Rt. 5 west of Kirkland is still CLOSED - we hope that's not permanent, but it looks as if it may be.
2. Don't try top shop at North Star Orchards on Rt. 233 on the weekend!!

My, how we miss ALLEN ACRES!!!

I don't know if it's a holiday for the TIOGA and North Country Landscaping crews, 'tho a brief notice in the O-D suggests that they'll be on the job. Nannette told me, last week, that she thought she'd only be here for two or three more days. She's going to miss Waterville, and we'll miss her!

There are some nice newsy bits in this morning's O-D about yesterday's Celebration in Deansboro of theBarton Hose Company's 100th Anniversary.

And we'll be eager to see this week's issue of the Waterville TIMES, which reaches "newstands" tomorrow, to learn even more about exactly which organizations will be doing what, when and where, on Saturday. We know that there's a parade at 12-noon; a Chicken Barbecue at noon; the dedication of the Waterville Rotary Club Centennial Clock (next to the Bank building on Main Street) at 2:00 with vendors along E. Main Street all day, from 10:00 'til 4:00.

More when it's light and also when I can find out from someone "in authority" who can tell us why ALL eleven of the new street trees on East Main Street are Lindens. (Lindens are nice trees, but so aren't "Accolade" Elms and "Flame maples," originally on the East Main Street list.)
