A moisture starved cold front will swing through on Wednesday with nothing more than a passing shower or thundershower. Highs will remain in the low to mid 70s.
High pressure will return for Thursday and this will bring beautiful weather for the rest of the week and into the weekend!"

THE WATERVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY BUDGET
Please Vote "Yes!"
"More than a building or a collection of books, the Waterville Public Library is a thriving public resource - -a place to seek out information and take advantage of special programs for children and adults. It is a place to meet with friends and to showcase community talents.
The Waterville Public Library is an essential element of the quality of life in our community and is a gateway to the world beyond.
"Since the Library was founded in 1874 (later chartered by the Board of Regents as a free public library in 1939), inhabitants of the region that is now bounded by the Waterville Central School District have recognized the need for preservation of knowledge and ideas, and free access to information for all. That mission continues today in the Library's state-of-the-art facility, opened in 2006, where you will find warm and inviting surroundings that provide traditional and all the latest services to support the reading, viewing, listening and information seeking needs and interests of all our patrons, young and old.

"In collaboration with the Mid York Library System including the 42 sister libraries within MYLS, we strive to stay up to date with rapidly emerging technologies and thereby operate a library without walls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If you love your library -- all the resources and activities it offers -- give WPL a vote of confidence and support tomorrow! And, keep in mind that all the exciting capital projects that are under way are made possible through grants and major gifts from individuals and foundations --- that means that NO local tax money is being used, whatsoever!
Running unopposed for two open seats on the Board of Trustees are
Mary Beth Erlichman and Kelly Hildreth.
Three cheers to them for stepping forward to serve!

Yesterday's Ride-around.
Quite early yesterday morning I received a phone call from Donna Robinson, who lives in Clinton. A regular blog reader, she knew that I would be interested in knowing that there was a new HOP YARD planted on Water Street, over near Oriskany Falls,
and so - off I went!
Click to enlarge and see how the strings have been arranged.
It was easy to spot! And then I caught sight of Mr. Dan Forward, the owner of "Iris Creek Farm," and his grandaughter, Patty, and I went to talk with them!
The new hop yard is a project of Mr. Forward's niece, Cindy. Exactly one acre of four different varieties of hops have been planted.
We had a nice chat and I warned them that they'd be seeing me often for the next few months! Before I left, Mr. Forward told me that I should go and have a look at the new six-acre hop yard being planted at the Mosher Farm on Route 46.
I did!
Six acres of poles is a LOT of poles!
Two groups of workers were making their way along the rows, planting hop rootings, I presume.
************************************************
In the afternoon I took my usual tour of the countryside and found John Brouillette supervising the planting of a field of corn next to Fuess-Cleary Road.
He was able to answer a question for me:
"What has happened to all of Mary Green's fields?" Acres and acres all look as if they'd been sprayed with "Roundup!"
Yes: they have!
And very soon they will all be planted by Mary's nephew with No-till Soybeans!
(I'll be watching that, too!)

Putnam Hall and the "who-done-its" written by the Poolville Postmaster:
maybe tomorrow!
