Today is Ash Wednesday

****

It's recyclables collection day.
16 degrees at 5:30 a.m.


The TWCNY Morning Weather Forecast: 

"Temperatures Doing Slightly Better/Still Chilly, Becoming Quiet Late Week

Today we will keep in the risk for a flurry or snow shower; however, it won't be as cold with temperatures able to top out between 20 and 25 degrees.

High pressure will dominate on Thursday and as a result, the forecast looks a little better with dry/quiet conditions and highs in the upper 20s. Our weather remains uneventful to round out the work week and the upward trend in temperatures will continue with highs in the upper 30s by Friday.

Still an early call on the weekend but at this point, it's shaping up to be a bit colder and slightly unsettled."

There are more good signs.

Front doorways on East Bacon ....



......  Madison Street ....





........... and in Whiskey Hollow are all bursting with Spring!

"With a rare combination of brilliant storytelling, exquisite prose, and remarkable insight into character,  Elizabeth Strout has brought to life two deeply human protagonists whose struggle and triumphs will resonate with the  reader long after they turn the final page. Tender, tough-minded, loving, and deeply illuminating about the ties that bind us to family and home."

"Bobby Lopez and his wife, Kristin Anderson Lopez, just won the Oscar for Best Song for their song: "Let It Go", which they wrote for the movie "Frozen". Bobby is one of the very few persons in this world who has won a Tony, an Grammy, and the Oscar! Why does this matter to the Brookfield Historical Society?



Bobby Lopez is the son of Frank Lopez who graduated from BCS in 1962! (along with Bill Jennings; Dighton Head; Jim Elliott; Dale Cross; Jerry Evans; Bob Plows; Harrison Fellows; and Richard Penner. And the "girls": Beatrice Beach (Tuttle); Thelma Ward (Kabana); Marion (Rogers) Eisenhut; Tricia Piersma (Calhoun); Neva Calhoun (Swenson); and Bonnie Keith (Hill)!


Frank's brothers are Richard and Mitch Kudak (Class of 74).

They lived on Giles Rd. past Owens' and Witter's. Used to be "Aunt Lottie's" house!"
