Upcoming:  from the Historical Society
On Wednesday, November 16, at 7 pm at Waterville Historical Society, Patty Louise, publisher of The Waterville Times, will present "Going and Growing Strong at 160," discussing the newspaper's distinguished history and the pivotal events of the last year.  The talk will be accompanied by a display of artifacts from the Times' and the Society's collections.

Patty Louise became publisher of The Waterville Times in May 2001, the 15th publisher in the almost 160 years of its history, and the third woman.  The Times was first published on January 24, 1857, and has been in continuous publication ever since.  Since its beginnings the Times has always covered communities other than Waterville, especially as Oriskany Falls and Brookfield lost their community papers.  In November 2015 the Times expanded to cover Clinton when the Clinton Courier, 10 years older than the Times, ended.


Ms. Louise is a graduate of the Newhouse School of Public Communications (earning her undergraduate degree in 1984 in newspaper journalism) and the Whitman School of Management (MBA, 2001) of Syracuse University.  She has worked at several newspapers, including the Utica Observer-Dispatch and Syracuse papers.  She is a former professor of journalism at Utica College and has taught buisiness classes at MVCC.  She is President of the Waterville Central School Foundation; her two children are Waterville Central School graduates.

Waterville Historical Society at 220 East Main Street, next to the Fire House, has ample parking and is wheel-chair accessible.  The program will be preceded by a short business meeting and followed by refreshments.  It is free and open to the public.
