Over two weeks ago, while I was away, there was an impressive ceremony at the Sewage Treatment Plant and Lou Langone was presented - yet again - with an award from the DEC. (Photo by R. Ostreander.)


The plaque is in the display case at the Municipal Hall.

More crunching took place at the old mill, yesterday, and by afternoon all of the frame structure had been demolished. The crew had also removed the boiler - made in Buffalo in 1864 and weighing, by their estimate, about 15 ton.

Over at the Historical Society, on White Street: two old men playing checkers!
(And I did ask their permission to refer to them, erroneously, as "old"!)


Out on Madison Street, I stopped to watch a lad driving a forklift, stacking bales of hay one atop another, while someone else drove a baler in another part of the field. To me, the bales seemed especially large - larger than our old-fashioned oblong bales. (Perhaps some reader will provide more information?)


I'd seen similar when I was driving up to the St. Lawrence, stacked in high rows - or walls - some more expertly than others.


Last evening in the Park.

A good gathering for a fun concert by John Savage and his band - "The Vintage Youth" - presenting American Idol hopeful, his daughter, Lucy Savage! Lucy's next competitive round for the Idol spot comes Saturday at RFA - with performances rated, in part, but audience reaction! (More specific time, when I can find out.)


The Smile of the Day!

Lucy's grandma! Lois Newsom.

There will be more music - "The Wooden Spoon" will stir it up at "Michael's" on Saturday night.
