Also on the WKTV website, Lee Center Damage Caused by Microburst. If you've lived in Waterville for more than nine years you know what those are like!

And, more than likely, if you live in the countryside, you'll share this concern:WKTV NEWS: Farmers concerned about losing local farms.

It was another fine day for Spring Cleaning, yesterday.
The DPW was out, sweeping the streets...

and picking up and raking the Park!

Shirley Kellogg said that she heard "Peepers" for the first time on Sunday, and the first bunch of Pulmonaria - or "lungwort" - bloomed yesterday.

*********

I had a telephone call, yesterday, from Sharry Whitney of Mohawk Valley Living - the weekly television series that visited Waterville twice, a year-and-a-half ago, and who plan on coming back here in the next few weeks! They'll be writing to the owners of "Sanger Hill" - which was in great disrepair when they last saw it - to try and arrange a visit. I'm sure they'll want to look at our new Library and, perhaps, climb back up to the bell tower to hear the bells - silenced by a blue tarp, back then. I'll make sure that they have a photo of one of the new "Welcome to Waterville" signs and ALSO make sure that they know that the WCS Marching Band will be representing New York State in Washington, D.C., on the Fourth of July! Any other "must-see" suggestions?

This coming Sunday "Mohawk Valley Living" will be in Deansboro! Watch the show at 7:30 A.M. on WKTV; at 10:00 A.M. on CW (Channel 11) or at 12:05 A.M., again, on WKTV.
