snow on the ground.

How big cansnowflakes get?

Snowflakes areagglomerates of manysnow crystals. Mostsnowflakes are lessthanone-half inchacross. Under certainconditions, usuallyr e q u i r i n gnear-freez-ing temper-a t u r e s ,l i g h tw i n d s ,and unsta-ble, convec-tive atmos-pheric condi-tions, much largerand irregular flakesclose to two inchesacross in the longestdimension can form.No routine measureof snowflake dimen-sions are taken, sothe exact answer isnot known.

Why do weatherforecasters seemto have so muchtrouble forecast-ing snow?

Snow forecasts arebetter than they usedto be and they con-tinue to improve, butsnow forecastingremains one of themore difficult chal-lenges for meteorolo-gists. One reason isthat for many of themore intense snows,

the heaviest snowamounts fall in sur-prisingly narrowbands that are on asmaller scale thanobserving networksand forecast zones.Also, extremely smalltemperature differ-ences that define the

boundary linebetween rainand snowmake night-

a n d - d a yd i f f e r -

ences insnow fore-

casts. This ispart of the fun

and frustration thatmakes snow forecast-ing so interesting.

Is it ever toocold to snow?

No, it can snow evenat incredibly coldtemperatures as longas there is somesource of moistureand some way to liftor cool the air. It istrue, however, thatmost heavy snowfallsoccur with relativelywarm air tempera-tures near theground—typically 15°F or warmer—sinceair can hold morewater vapor atwarmer tempera-tures.

Hello Again,

Are you suffering from the “Oh, woe is me” boredom or mid-season cabin fever? Just

can’t wait for the spring?

Grandpa had a cure he was sure proud of. His concoction was part 1/3 apple cider,

a generous teaspoon of pure vinegar, a tablespoon full of clover honey, mixed with a

ten-minute trip to the woodshed or cellar depending on the season. He claimed his

cure was laced with an old traditional secret family formula.

Grandma, faithful to her marriage vows to obey, guarded the secret and swore it

worked the times she used it, swearing it would cure everything from hang nails, short

arms, to gout, and midseason crank.

Grandpa had several close pals who would visit in the woodshed. Naturally Grandpa

would never charge, but he always seemed to have a bib-overalls pocket well supplied

with silver and paper dollar bills.

It was said that no one ever heard of a divorce near Grandpa’s farm. If a married

man got a little ornery, his wife would send him for a dose of the cure.

A known revenue agent stopped at Grandpa’s complaining of some hidden ailment

asking for a few days supply of the cure. Grandpa said he was sorry but his Jersey

cow was dry and that he needed fresh Jersey milk to make the formula for the cure.

Grandma said when the revenue agent rode away Grandpa headed for the woodshed.

It appears the cure also helped settle the nerves.

One morning while our dog Toby was taking me out for a walk on the lawn, a fancy

expensive car stopped beside the bayberry hedge. The driver got out and walked

through the hedge onto the lawn. He pointed at the house and asked, “Is that your

house?” With that I said, “It is.”

“Are you planning on selling your house,” he asked. “I guess every property owner

considers something like that,” I said. “But no—it’s not for sale.”

While I was admiring his luxury car and Brooks Brothers-type suit, sort of sizing him

up, he asked, “If you were going to sell it, how much do you feel

it’s worth?”

Realizing this might be a rare opportunity, I said, “This is a

real fine house and I would naturally be asking a very high price.”

“How much?” he asked. In a soft voice I told him the

exaggerated price and then asked if he was moving into our

area. He replied, “No, I’m the new tax assessor.”

Now I understand the old expression about putting your foot

in your mouth.


Yesterday’s news of the day was about a high school shooting. Everyone was

asking why would anyone do something like that? What is happening to our youth in

this country? And if that is an example of our youth—who will be the leaders in the

future? This chatter could open a thousand questions, possibly with few answers. But

then….

Last night a small group from our campgrounds drove up to the Hobe Sound

Christian College. The college students were presenting the famous Roger and

Hammerstein stage show, “The Sound of Music.” I wish every American could have

been there. These young college students exemplified exactly what is and who is our

real American youth. Not one missed cue. Every song and speaking part was flawless.

Give our youth a proper chance with proper teaching and direction and you will

quickly learn who our next leaders will be. Thank you Hobe Sound students, faculty,

and college. You are America’s future.

In later years my father met and talked with one of Grandpa’s old friends and

asked, “Did Dad’s cure really work?” “Well,” he said, “I—we used the cure as an excuse

so we would talk to your father. He had a wonderful ability to help us see through our

problems and then he would pray with us and give us a few Bible scripture verses to

memorize. As you know, he was not a minister. He was a man who believed, thought

and lived what he believed—we all called him our friend.” He continued, “Your Dad was

always willing to reach into the pocket of his bib-overalls and lend a few bucks to

someone in need.”

If you are a reader of “Hello, Again” you certainly can remember tales or chatter

about the men sitting around the old chunk stove at Charlie Hearn’s store. I believe

that each of those men—in their own way—was like Grandpa, dispensing help

through friendship. Each received a dose of the cure without realizing it. A group of

friends is like a cure that will last a lifetime. And someday you will have a chance to

hand down the cure to someone in need.

After Grandpa left us, we looked in the woodshed. We did not find a bottle. We found

a King James Bible in the cordwood.

Someday we will meet again and I know that I need friends. Remember to say hi to

your neighbor, take time to have a chat with a stranger, and

Grandpa’s real cure will still be working.

You can pray for a friend or a stranger. They do not need to

know, their Heavenly Father will.

See you in a few weeks and may God continue in your life,

Fred Lee and the Lee Family

Bob Gould & theBobcats donated theirmusical talents at St.John’s - St. Mark’sLutheran Church inCanajoharie, on Feb.26, to benefitSchoharie Valley floodvictims.

Gould, who playsthe piano and key-board, reports thatthe Bobcats groupbegan about 21 yearsago when he and afew gals got togetherto entertain at aChristmas event andthen learned someIrish tunes to sing forSt. Patrick’s Day.

“We don’t do muchof the Irish tunes any-more,” he said. “Butwe do have 25 - 30dates a year to play.”

The group’s vocal-ists includedElizabeth Custer,Linda Mittler, IrenaGarin, ConnieChamberlain, HelenThompson, LindaBumpus, DebHutchinson, SandraWiese, Ruth Careyand Audrey Goebel,all from FultonCounty.

Gould and theBobcats performedtheir renditions of anumber of tunesincluding the early50’s ‘Sha-boom Sha-boom’, the classic‘Blue Moon’, ‘Side bySide’, Paul Mauriat’s‘Love is Blue’, and ascore of other stan-dards- as well astunes from the WaltDisney movie MaryPoppins.

“We sing for the funof it!” Gould said.

The coffeehousewas well attended and

among the attendeeswas the Vice-Chairman for theSchoharie Area Long-Term recovery team(SALT), Vern Hall.

Hall spoke to thecrowd assembled forthe benefit and toldthem of the disasterhe had witnessedthroughout theSchoharie Valley.“There is fear thatsome of the peoplewho have lost somuch are just fallingthrough the cracks,”he said. “It looks likeit may even take aslong as 10 years forthe recovery to takeplace.”

Hall explained howthe SALT team cameabout and what theirmission and goalsare. Communication,collaboration, coordi-nation, cooperationand compassion arewords that carry thetrue meaning ofSALT’s mission. “Weare here to help peo-ple through this dis-aster,” Hall statedsimply.

Bob Gould and the

Modern treatment methods,technologies and medicationshave made trips to the dentistnearly painless. However, fewpeople attend these appoint-ments without at least a littleapprehension.

Better oral hygiene in thepast century has reduced theneed for extractions due totooth decay. In the 19thCentury, preventive dentalcare was all but nonexistent,rotten teeth and malodorousbreath were common. At thattime, the usual dental practi-tioners were barbers. Theywould perform tooth extrac-tions with a device like theone show here, owned byWillis “Skip” Barshied Jr. Theturnkey was used to graspand twist a tooth to separateit from the jaw. The use of apain killer was uncommon.

In an 1841 letter, Abraham

Lincoln wrote of having apainful experience with a den-tist while having a toothextracted.

“I had it torn out, bringingwith it a bit of the jawbone;the consequence of which isthat my mouth is now so sorethat I can neither talk, nor

eat,” the future presidentwrote.

During his years in theWhite House, Lincoln wasknown to bring a small bottleof chloroform with him to hisdentist’s office and administerthe analgesic to himself beforeprocedures.

INTRODUCTIONTo comply with State regulations, the Village of Canajoharie will be annually issuing a report describing thequality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water andawareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. Last year, your tap water met all State drinkingwater health standards. We are proud to report that our system did not violate a maximum contaminant levelor any other water quality standard. This report provides an overview of last year's water quality. Included aredetails about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If youhave any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact: Mr. Jeff Swartz, Supt.of Water, 75 Erie Blvd, Canajoharie, NY 13317; Telephone (518) 673-2007. If you want to learn more, pleaseattend any of our regularly scheduled village board meetings. The meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of eachmonth at the Village Office Building, 75 Erie Blvd., Canajoharie, NY 13317 at 7:00 PM. WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM?In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams,ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, itdissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substancesresulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in sourcewater include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemicalcontaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and theEPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public watersystems. The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottledwater which must provide the same protection for public health.Our water source is a surface water source consisting of several upland springs. The Hill, Gray, Sand, Young,and Plank Springs comprise the "springline" in addition to the Sprite Creek which feeds water to our reservoir.The reservoir has a storage capacity of 93 million gallons. The Lost Lake impoundment serves as an emergencywater source. The water is filtered at our Slow Sand Filtration plant. The plant consists of three slow sand fil-ters 44 feet by 132 feet each. Each filter has a flow-rate of 0.5 million gallons per day. After passing throughthe filters the finished water is disinfected by injection of a sodium hypochlorite solution. Water not consumedby our customers is stored at the Smith Street Reservoir, East Hill Tank, and Palatine Clearwell, providing uswith 2.63 million gallons of water storage to meet consumer demand and to provide adequate fire protection.The NYS DOH has completed a source water assessment for this system, based on available information.Possible and actual threats to this drinking water source were evaluated. The source water assessment includesa susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how rapidly con-taminants can move through the subsurface. The susceptibility of a water supply source to contamination is

dependent upon both the presence of potential sources of contamination within the contributing area and thelikelihood that the contamination can travel through the environment to reach the source. The susceptibility rat-ing is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water deliv-ered to consumers is, or will become contaminated. See section "Are there contaminants in our drinkingwater?" for a list of the contaminants that have been detected. The source water assessments provide resourcemanagers with additional information for protecting source waters into the future.Our water is derived from several spring sources and a reservoir. Lost Lake is used as an emergency supply.Based on the analysis of available information for these spring sources, there are no water quality concernsfound in the assessment area. No land cover water quality concerns, permitted discharges, or other discretefacilities were identified in the assessment area using GIS. It should be noted that springs in general can behighly sensitive to petroleum products and solvents. An assessment of the reservoir and Lost Lake found nonoteworthy risks to source water quality. It should be noted that reservoirs in general are highly sensitive tophosphorus and microbial contaminants. Please note that our water is filtered and disinfected to ensure that that the finished water delivered into yourhome meets New York State's drinking water standards for microbial contamination. FACTS AND FIGURESOur water system serves approximately 2,300 people through 868 service connections. The total amount ofwater produced in 2011 was 346,855,856 gallons. The daily average of water treated and pumped into the dis-tribution system was 950,000 gallons per day. Our single highest day was 1,430,000 gallons.ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER?As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These con-taminants include: inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total tri-halomethanes, haloacetic acids, radiological and synthetic organic compounds In addition, we test 2 samplesfor coliform bacteria monthly. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in yourdrinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the con-centrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are morethan one year old. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to con-tain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicatethat water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can beobtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline 800-426-4791 or the New York State Departmentof Health Herkimer District Office at (315) 866-6879.

WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN?As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our test-ing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detectedbelow the level allowed by the State. To understand the possible health effects described formany regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at theMCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described healtheffect.IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERA-TIONS?During 2011, our system was in compliance with applicable State drinking water operating andmonitoring requirements. We constantly test for various contaminants in the water supply tocomply with regulatory requirements. This past year we failed to monitor for total coliform inJune 2011 and received a notice of violation for that deficiency.DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS?Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people maybe more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than thegeneral population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoingchemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or otherimmune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water.EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium,Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline(800-426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater.INFORMATION ON LEADIf present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnantwomen and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and compo-nents associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Canajoharie is respon-sible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials usedin plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can mini-mize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes beforeusing water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you maywish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, andsteps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline orat http://www.epa.gov/safewater/leadWHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT?You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water yourhousehold is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to con-serve water. Conservation tips include:* Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes areloaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity.* Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth.* Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day.Fix it and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year.* Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for afew minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gal-lons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than30,000 gallons a year.* Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appli-ances, then check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak.CLOSINGThank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water thisyear.
