Today: Mostly cloudy with scattered flurries and sprinkles. Not as cold. High 35
"Temperatures will be near the seasonal average for most of the week, with hit and miss snow showers expected. A potent storm system will develop by the end of the week, possibly affecting our weather in Central New York by Sunday. This system appears to be running a bit warmer than the past few storms, so we can expect a rain/snow mix for Sunday and Monday. Some light icing may be a factor in our weather for Sunday. We still have a few days to fine tune the forecast, so we will keep you posted! In the meantime, the pleasant temperatures this week will finally give us a chance to go out and enjoy the snow!"

The management probably had no idea what was going to happen when they decided to keep doors to Sangertown Mall closed, for a few mornings, so that ice and snow could be cleared from their parkinglots and walkways. It caused a near riot! (The crisis, however, has now been averted. Doors will open today at 7:00 A.M.)

With increased awareness of a need to finally - after nearly forty years - develop and adopt a Comprehensive (Master) Plan along with the public's now-evident desire to have established an Historic Preservation Ordinance to protect the appearance of the Historic Triangle District and Main Street, Village officials might take a ride to Dolgeville, sometime, and talk to officials there. On Friday, a celebration will take place there marking the end of a $724,000 Main Street Revitalization Project. (How did they do that???)

We could do it, and it could be fun!
Proper Pancake Race Rules require that dresses (or skirts), aprons and hats (or scarves) be worn....... 'tho not necesarily by women. Something to think about, for next year!
In the current issue of "Library Lines," Jeff Reynolds lists the following daily newspapers, subscribed to by the library: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Albany Times Union (for closeup coverage of New York State politics and government) the Observer-Dispatch and the Christian Science Monitor.
Was that a raised eyebrow?
No: the Monitor is NOT a religious periodical.
No: the Monitor is NOT a religious periodical.
Here's a bit of its history, taken from the Monitor website:
“Consider this case. It is 1907. An elderly New England woman finds herself being targeted by Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. She is 86 years old and holds some unconventional religious beliefs that she expounds in a book. The book becomes a bestseller, making her wealthy and a well-known public figure.
The New York World decides she is incapable of managing her own affairs and persuades some of her friends and her two sons to sue for control of her estate.
Although Boston and New Hampshire newspapers and major wire services interview this person and find her competent, the New York World is unrelenting. The lady in question finally is taken to court where the case against her is dropped.
And the next year this woman, Mary Baker Eddy, founds The Christian Science Monitor.
Given her experience with the press, it is not all that surprising that she sets as the Monitor's goal ‘to injure no man, but to bless all mankind.’ In one of life's little ironies, Joseph Pulitzer went on to endow the Pulitzer prizes for journalistic excellence. And Mrs. Eddy's newspaper went on to win five Pulitzers so far." [......the Monitor won a sixth Pulitzer — the 1996 prize for international reporting, and a seventh Pulitzer in 2002 for editorial cartooning.]
