WATERVILLE: Students win awards
Monday, Dec 11, 2006

Several Waterville High School Student Council members were awarded awards at the 19th annual New York State Council on Leadership and Student Activities Conference recently held in Buffalo. Abram Koester won the Student Recognition Award and scholarship for outstanding leadership in his school, community and state.

Tatyana Selyuzhitskaya and Russell Ritzel won the National Dale Hawley Leadership Awards and Scholarships for exceptional leadership in their school, community and at the national level. Brianna Cowen was elected to the state Executive Board as the student representative from District 8, which encompasses all of the schools in Oneida, Herkimer, Chenango, Madison, Delaware and Otsego counties. Cowen will host a Leadership Conference for all area high schools at Waterville High school in March.

I also forgot to post this letter from Gary Tuttle: it had a great deal of information about a radio program that aired last night. Sorry!!

"I received the below email from our son Brian and
thought maybe some of your readers who are classical
music fans would be interested. Brian has a bachelors
in music education (summa cum laude) and a masters in
music performance from the University of Northern
Colorado and is presently submitting applications to
several colleges to pursue his Phd in musicology. He
is also a Major in the Air Force National Guard
assigned to NEADS in Rome,NY. Brian hosts a regular 2
hour program on the Hamilton College radio station on
Friday nights from 10pm until midnight on 88.7FM and
live on the internet at www.whcl.org. You can sample
his program anytime from my website www.garytuttle.com
and click on 'Acoustic Stew'."

There will be more special programs featuring Brian Tuttle, I'm sure!


Something that I HOPE I don't miss, entirely, is the arrival of a big truck bringing 80 lamp posts from the West Coast. If they left on the 7th, they should be here soon, shouldn't they?
