George's Tid Bits
by George Capron

The following are excerpts from some of the calls that George received during his radio show on WBRV-WLLG The Moose, as well as observations he made on the air during the week of March 15th, 2010:

MONDAY, MARCH 15: Snow on the ground levels in the village took a massive drop in one week. Last Monday I measured 16-1/2 inches and this morning I found 4-1/2 inches. The above normal winds and upper 40-degree temperatures melted most of it.

Today, Isadore and Lillian Paluck of Constableville reach their 58th wedding anniversary.

Ramona Zehr of Beaver Falls celebrates her 81st birthday. Happy birthday to Mom from Jay and Joyce.

The Boonville Lodge of Elks welcomed 15 new members Saturday evening, during initiation. Interesting to note as five out of 15 were females and eight said they were snowmobilers. The Lodge pins have featured snowmobiles four times, including the new 50th anniversary pin depicting the covered bridge, a trail groomer, and a snowmobile. The Lodge ordered over 700 pins for their 50th anniversary year.

Actor Peter Graves of “Mission Impossible” fame, died of an apparent heart attack Sunday outside his home in Los Angeles. He would have celebrated his 84th birthday on Thursday, March 18.

TUESDAY, MARCH 16: Congratulations to Andrew and Dawn Pfendler of Boonville on the birth yesterday of a son, Luke Andrew, who weighed 5 pounds, 14 ounces, and is their first baby.

Today, Bob and Cheri Failing celebrate their 59th wedding anniversary, with congratulations from their family and friends.

Comedian, actor, director Jerry Lewis, a native of Newark, New Jersey, reaches his 84th birthday.

Two milestones were set today in automotive history. In 1958, Ford Motor Company produced its 50 millionth car, a Thunderbird. In 1966, General Motors reached its 100 millionth car, an Oldsmobile Toronado.

I received a report of at least 300 geese flying over Forestport this morning.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17: I heard the first tweet of a robin at the radio station this morning, and a flock of geese flew over Boonville and West Leyden.

Agnes Krug of Lyons Falls celebrates her 98th birthday today, with happy wishes from her family.

The Irish celebrate with parades and revelry today, remembering St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, in 461 A.D. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade was in New York City in 1762 and was held by Irish soldiers serving in the British army. Today, millions of Americans celebrate their cultural identity and history in honor of St. Patrick.

THURSDAY, MARCH 18: Today is a special day for Cecelia Chrzanowski of Turin, as she reaches her 92nd birthday, with love and best wishes from all her family.

Singer Charlie Pride was born in Sledge, Mississippi 72 years ago. He’s had more than 50 hit records on the charts, and is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in May 1993, received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in July 1999, and scored 29 number one country songs.

FRIDAY, MARCH 19: Happy 58th anniversary wishes to Ralph and Frieda Roggie of Lowville from daughter Joyce and Jay.

Today, Robbie and Jeri Jones of Lyons Falls reach their 50th anniversary, with happy wishes from their maid of honor and best man, and also from their three sons, two daughters-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and friends and neighbors.

Yesterday, a flock of gulls, about 30 strong, landed in the field next to the radio station for the first time. This morning I spotted two small deer grazing in the field across from the station. I also received the first report of a bluebird in the Greig area, which is another sign of an early spring. The killdeer birds arrived this morning also.

Also yesterday, Fess Parker, who was America’s favorite Davy Crockett TV star, died of natural causes at his home in Santa Ynez Valley, California, at age 85. He died on his wife Marcella’s 84th birthday. They had been married for 50 years.

Today, Matthew’s Place in downtown Boonville celebrates 20 years of serving the North Country.
