An article in this morning's issue of the Utica Observer-Dispatch and a report on WKTV Newschannel 2 both address a problem that has plagued commuters for about forty years. Finally, " A Plan has been Chosen for the North-South Arterial Project."

I received an E-note from Amanda Briggs at the Waterville Public Library, yesterday, asking me to post the following request:
We are having a "Library Lock-In" for 7th & 8th graders.
It's an overnight program where kids can hang out with their friends, play games and watch movies.
The "Lock-In" will take place from 7:00 P.M. on April 13th until 8:00 A.M. on the 14th and we need adult volunteers to work a shift.
They can contact me at the library (841-4651) or by Email: ABriggs@midyork.org

Also in yesterday's mail, this delightful communiqué from Andy Newark, writing from Cranleigh, Surrey, England!
"Just to say that my cousin, Wendy Sexton drew my attention to your site around last Christmas.
I have noted with much interest the severity of your Winter, and marvel at the Waterville Community's resourcefulness in enduring severe conditions in such good humour!
Here in Southern England, when occasionally we get an inch or two of snow, the entire transport network comes to a grinding halt... yet you guys seem to clear the roads and carry out your daily business with no fuss whatsoever.
I note from the Weather Channel site, that this Winter's grip appears to be easing now, so have a great Spring and Summer. Best wishes to you all!
Andy Newark
I'll be writing to Andy, today, to thank him for his letter. If any of you would like me to add your sentiments, please send them along to me!
