About...

Several years ago -- maybe even 10 -- I felt it necessary to establish a website about building expansion at Schoharie school so I did that, and called it the Tattler. I was thinking of Addison and Steele's Tatler, published a few hundred years ago in London.

We shook things up a little, the school quieted down, and we discontinued the Tattler. Then, at the end of 2005, the Gilboa Dam crisis erupted and we started the Code Orange web site, later called Gilboa Dam Watcher. As we were phasing that out, the quarry issue erupted, the village decided to diddle unfair water rates to benefit owners of apartment buildings at expense of single-family homes, and the new school superintendent decided there could be yet another building project, this at "no cost" to residents. In the circumstances, I decided to reestablish the Tattler.

Creeks, Reservoir Rising Rapidly in Rain
30 March 2010
6 p.m. update

We toured area streams between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. finding the Fox Creek over its banks in Schoharie. Schoharie Creek was full at Route 7 and Cobleskill Creek full in Central Bridge. Localized flooding is widespread and the rain is steady but not heavy.
The NWS hydrograph for Schoharie Creek at Gilboa dam shows the reservoir rising rapidly, one foot between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. when it was only two feet below flood stage. Unless the inflows slow, we will be in a mild flood situation by midnight.
