Events and activities in Thurman A family of Canadian geese have lately been strutting down Garnet Lake Road like they own it. The family started as two females and two males and they’ve been living at Pratt’s Pond. Each pair had about four offspring, and they’re now grown up and are stopping traffic, wandering on the local roads. They seem to stay together, so when you are traveling be very cautious over hills and around corners. Considering there are nine or more of these big birds leisurely strolling around our roads, be wary because at some point you may have to suddenly stop. Incidentally, a gripe was called in this week concerning motorists not stopping at the stop sign on the corner of River Road and Bowen Hill Road. Questions were called in asking if we have noise ordinances in our local towns. Another asked if Thurman will once again have a Code Enforcement Officer. You can call the Thurman Town Hall at 623-9649 for answers to these and other questions. Did anyone find any old pictures of Thurman barns or outbuildings that can be used in the John Thurman’s Historical Society 2011 calendar? Members of the group need them by Sept. 15. Call 623-9305 if you have items to be included. Loaning photographs for reproduction will be appreciated.
On a personal note The annual Wood family reunion will be held this Saturday, Aug. 21, at the home of Leila Wood, 536 Mud St., beginning at 12 p.m. Those attending are asked to bring a dish to pass. For details, call 623-4102. Val and Joe Samarra of Williamstown, Ind. were in the area visiting her mom Bert Wilde of River Road and also Joe’s parents in South Glens Falls. Note that we have a missing dog. A small black Labrador puppy has wandered away from a River Road home in Thurman, and its owners would like to locate him and return him to his happy home. Please call 623-2381 with any information on the puppy. Tonina and Mario Derosa and son Joseph of Astoria, and nephew Francesco Fortuna of Commack, Long Island spent a long weekend with her sister, Filomena Riviello on Garnet Lake Road. Charlotte Needham recently spent a week with her grandsons in Colchester, Vt. before returning to her Sky High Road home and ever more and larger garden vegetables to prepare for the winter months. Nancy and Terry Beadnell have had a very nice visitor for a while at their River Road home. Their grandson Brandon Beadnell, 7, son of Luke Beadnell, has enjoyed some of his summer vacation doing fun things with grandma and grandpa — going fishing and exploring — plus spending time with his dad. Brandon has had to return to Livermore, Maine to begin his school year. Jeff Grants is back at his South Johnsburg Road home after a recent kidney operation at the Glens Falls Hospital. He is recuperating, and doing a lot of “nothing” — so he says — as he is used to being very active. He expects to be back to speak at the Kenyon Town Methodist Church Sunday, Aug. 22, at 11 a.m. He also wants to thank everyone for the cards and prayers during this time.
Special days for Thurman residents Anniversaries celebrated this week are: Evelyn Wood and Andrew Hall, 10 years on Aug. 25, Jessie and Donovan Baker on Aug. 26, and Dick and Charlotte Needham on Aug. 27. A happy 18th year is wished to the Athol General Store and the Mannuci’s who opened their enterprise Aug. 22, 1992 on Mountain Road. Birthdays to remember this week are Joe Groff, Judy Shaw and Scott Mosher on Aug. 21, Tyler Springer on Aug. 22, Mel Groff on Aug. 24, Darlene Miner and Anne Rohe on Aug. 24,
Thank you all for your acts of kindness Thanks for remembering me on my unknown day — the anniversary of my birth. Special thanks to Sister Phyllis Sadow who came up from Schenectady with an evening meal all prepared to cook, thanks to Lila Walter for the special card, to Charlotte for the pie and Dick for the garden fresh vegetables, and to all for the lovely cards and to those who stopped by. Thanks also to my kids and families — and to Ann Lloyd for her special invitation.
