- AROUND TOWN -

Baccalaureate took place on a  beautiful blue sky evening at St. Bernard's Church.
Thanks to St. Bernard's for sharing a few photos of the reception after the service.

Earlier in the day, you might have thought you were on a tropical island with the Waterville Teachers Association jumping on board Tropical Thursday!


From the archives, 10 years ago in 2011 at the Dolgeville Violet Festival

As well as on Main Street!


May this 15 year memory from 2006 help you to appreciate a smooth drive this weekend!


While paving takes place in the Northbound lane between the Tyler building and Waterville Chiropractic, two separate crews are installing curbing working from the Park southward along the West side of Sanger Avenue.

Traffic is, understandably, moving slowly, but following precisely coordinated signals from half-a-dozen flag persons between Foodking and CVS, all is moving smoothly and - to everyone's credit - there seem to have been NO noticable cases of "road rage!" Drivers are, in fact, being extremely polite, either shouting or waving "Thank You!" to flag holders and slowing to allow vehicles to merge from driveways and parkinglots.

The newly elevated lot behind the Laundromat is, courtesy of Mr. T. Eisenhut, available to patrons of Totally-U, Mac's and Morgan's Hardware.

Driving south past CVS, one immediately reaches smooth, paved highway which, complete with new sidewalks and grassy tree-belt, is now being called "The Sangerfield Parkway!"
