Well, now that spring is really here, and we can see the lawns and the grass without snow, we can also see the garbage that has accumulated over the winter months.
Please tell me what makes folks throw out a huge bag or box of wrappers from their favorite fast food place. Fast food accounts for 33% of all the litter in the U.S. We used to pick up the litter when we saw it and then pitch it in one of the garbage containers as we walked. I am not as likely to do that now with the COVID-19 scare if I don’t have some gloves or a plastic bag along, or a place to wash my hands.
ORADELL A hole in the roof of the Blauvelt Mansion that alarmed preservationists has been repaired, but there are lingering worries about the fate of the historic mansion.
The shingle-style, 25-room estate, which sits atop a long grassy hill on Kinderkamack Road at Soldier Hill Road, has been in limbo for years. CareOne, a network of assisted living facilities, had contracted with the mansion s former owner, Jeffrey Wells, to build an assisted-care facility on the property’s front lawn in 2007, but two proposals have been rejected by the borough.
CareOne bought the property outright in a foreclosure auction in 2013, and no new plans for the site have been proposed since.

Then a teenager at the beginning of her sophomore year, Olalde had moved away from Mexico and in with her aunt and uncle. She enrolled at Tucson High but without the help of her parents, so affording things like clothes and day-to-day items teenagers need became more difficult.
