FRIDAY MORNING

53 degrees under Blue Sky. That means that there can be more progress made on the Buell Avenue Sidewalk, on the retaining walls near Sangerfield and - perhaps - in front of the Bank of America Building! (At least if it rains over the weekend the water will NOT flow into the vestibule of the building!)




"BREAKING NEWS!
(which, in this case, means that it's just bits and pieces of information!)

Something Exciting is going to happen on
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14!


and it will be an HISTORIC EVENT!


Organized by "Roc" Langone and fellow merchants, it will begin with a Parade at 9:00 A.M. and be a day-long celebration marking the end of at least most of the two-year, $5,000,000.00 D.O.T. Highway Reconstruction Project. (True: the streetlamps have not been installed nor have trees and shrubs been planted, but the BIG PART - THE MESSY PART! - is DONE!!! So mark your calendars, right now!

( ... and when the lamps and trees are in? Well: we'll have to have another Celebration, won't we?)

Fr. Richard Kapral is no doubt celebrating the success of a bit of corrective surgery and that, after a few days spent at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Utica, he is back in Vernon. His address there is:
Holy Family Church
P.O. Box #988
Vernon, N.Y. 13476-0988


We're not forecasting the outcome of the four-game series between the New York Yankees and the Boston Redsox that begins tonight at 7:05 P.M. in the Bronx, continues with a double-header tomorrow and concludes on Sunday evening, but I'm sure that nearly all New Yorkers will have their opinions!




Whichever they are, the Losers will be in "Hot water!"


The Boil Water Order in Clinton continues. Some restaurants are using bottled water and the school is providing bottled water for teachers and students.
