  • Not Just a Tree

    TreeI’m so sad.

    While driving to work this morning, I saw a public works crew on the center island at 56th Street- with tree roots in a tractor.  I quickly turned around to ask what happened to “my tree”.

    I posted about this tree in the past:  A Special Tree   Planted in memory of my father over 20 years ago.

    Unfortunately, a woman ran into the tree yesterday afternoon, and her car landed upside down on Dune Drive.  The Borough worker said she was okay- and I said “maybe the tree somehow saved her”.  Then he suggested I plant a new tree.  Good idea…

  • Volunteers

    Both Avalon and Stone Harbor rely on volunteer fire departments.  While many calls are nuisance or false alarms (often in the middle of the night), last evening was an example of the thorough training of our local firefighters.

    It’s scary to watch a roaring fire from a safe distance…can’t imagine it from the firemen’s perspective.  I admire their dedication.

  • Recycling

    recycleFYI- All communities in Cape May County  are participating in “Single Stream Recycling”.

    Recycling containers without lids are still required, yet ALL recycling materials may be mixed together in those cans.  No need to separate the bottles from the newspapers/cardboard.  See Cape May County MUA WEB SITE for specifics.

    With more items now qualifying, recycling should be greater than regular trash.

    Household garbage must be in plastic bags and secured in trash cans with lids.

    In Avalon, place trash cans and recycling containers at the curb by 7am of the scheduled pick up day.  In Stone Harbor, trash and recycling are picked up from the side or rear yard.
