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 October 30th, 2006:
- MONDAY, OCTOBER 30: Happy 52nd
anniversary to Yogi and Winnie (Verle and Winola) Yelton of Boonville,
from family and friends. It was a wet windy weekend with so many trees
and wires down that Inlet couldn’t open school this morning. A peak wind
of 60 mph was measured on the Rector Road out of Martinsburg at 5:40
p.m. last evening. I recorded 31 mph in the village at 8:27 p.m., and
here at the station, 36 mph at 6:43 p.m. Highmarket received 8.6 inches
of snow yesterday with 10-inches on the ground this morning. The Merry
Hill Weather Station accumulated 2 inches of rain and melted snow in
their rain gauge from Saturday to Monday morning. Actor-producer Henry
Winkler, best remembered as the “Fonz” from the TV show “Happy Days,”
was born in New York, NY, 61 years ago. Singer Roy Orbison was presented
with a gold record for sales over 1 million copies of “Pretty Woman” in
1964.
- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31:
Congratulations to Bobby Joe and Janice Crofoot of the East Ava Road on
the birth yesterday of a daughter, who joins a son at home, with best
wishes from family and friends. Happy 42nd anniversary wishes to Paul
and Pat Jerry of Watson, from son Tracy, Jennifer and family. Former CBS
newsman Dan Rather, a native of Wharton, Texas, is 75 today. TV
personality Jane Pauley is 56, born in Indianapolis, IN.
- WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1: The
weather was safe enough for a good turn-out of trick-or-treaters last
evening, and no one reported any problems. Ford Motor Company started
production today in 1927 of a new car, named the Model A. The car cost
$400 and nearly 5,000,000 were built before production ended in early
1932. He appeared four times at the Boonville Fair, in 1989, 1991, 1993,
and 1995. Whispering Bill Anderson’s birthday is today. He was born in
Columbia, SC, 69 years ago.
- THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2: Bill and
Rosie Irvin of Boonville celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary today.
Rosie gives much of her time to Matthew’s Place in downtown Boonville.
Good luck to the Adirondack varsity swim team, as they leave this
morning for Nottingham High School to take part in sectional competition
the next three days. Last evening, the senior girls’ soccer players from
a dozen schools met in Herkimer and formed four different teams.
Adirondack seniors Amanda Myers and Chrissy Clara were on the undefeated
team. Congratulations! American frontiersman Daniel Boone was born near
Reading, PA, in 1734. He died in Missouri on September 26, 1820. The
’60s pop group, Jay and the Americans’ lead singer, Jay Black, is 68
today and is still performing today. Happy belated anniversary last
Sunday to Edward and Tess Ingersoll of Martinsburg, who counted up 67
years, with best wishes from the Singing Waters Senior Citizens.
- FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3: The first
snow-covered ground in the village was found this morning with 3.2
inches measured, and the highest amount of 11 inches was measured in Lee
Center. Geese are still flying south, being assisted by a north wind. A
couple of weather terms should be explained, as we live in a lake-effect
snow band area. A lake-effect snow advisory means snow bands will
develop, but less than 7 inches of snow is expected in the next 12
hours. A lake-effect watch indicates the potential for more than 7
inches in 12 hours, but both will impact travel, as these bands are
sometimes very narrow, but often produce more than an inch of snow per
hour, with as much as 3 to 4 inches per hour. Walt Disney produced
introduced, “Mickey Mouse” in a movie short called “Steamboat Willie,”
in 1928. The movie, “The Wizard of Oz,” was presented on CBS TV for the
first time in 1956.
