I’ve had something of a stressful Tuesday, although that does not have the charm of alliteration. That is my quite own fault; I am a victim of my own incompetence. Never mind. Let me make some semblance of a blog post.
I haven’t used this one in a while.
In fact, I was relieved this morning to wake up and remember that it was Tuesday instead of Monday. Then I remembered I had yet to write my story about Monday’s Ilion Village Board meeting for the Daily Sentinel. The meeting had been preceded by a Public Hearing on a proposed moratorium which is rather controversial. A great number of Ilion residents attended, many of them voicing opinions. It was a difficult story to write, but I managed it.
The controversy is over use of the former factory, but it is too complicated to cover here, in addition to not being totally fun.
I spent some time driving around Ilion getting pictures to go with the story about the regular board meeting, in which they talked about some abandoned properties they hope to refer to Herkimer County Landbank. Back home, I attempted a little housework. Eventually I took a walk. It was a lovely day for a walk. I made two stops along the way, to pay my school taxes and deposit a check in the bank (my payment for August stories for the Sentinel, by the way).
Right now I am trying to get my blog post done before I’m off to another meeting to cover for the paper. This one is an informational meeting about a feasibility study for a road in East Herkimer. I think it will not be controversial.
I don’t have many good Herkimer pictures in the Media Library.
I really feel like an intrepid girl reporter this week (older readers know what I am talking about: from a 1940s screwball comedy or cheesy horror movie). I also have a budget hearing in Frankfort to cover on Thursday. Will I have time for any Mohawk Valley Adventures amidst all this reporting? Will I have time for more housework? For the answers to these and other intriguing questions, stay tuned to Mohawk Valley Girl!
