“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Avenue in Belltown. Chris Chadwick was at work in a building nearby and said he was among the first to spot the fire. “I saw flames shooting out of this barrel so I ran to get the hose,” said Chadwick. “I called 911 kind of frantically.” Chadwick said he also immediately pulled out a hose, hoping the flames won’t spread to an apartment building nearby. “Smoke was going that way so I was yelling, 'Fire! Shut your windows,'” said Chadwick. Around the same time, Seattle fire officials got reports of two other dumpster fires about 2 miles away near 7th and Maynard in the Chinatown/International District. KIRO 7 reached out to the Seattle Police Department who said they are looking into who is responsible for these incidents. Six months ago, KIRO 7 covered nearly two dozen dumpster fires in the Ballard area. One damaged the outside of an auto shop. So far, no arrests have been made and there is no word about whether these fires are connected to those in the International District and Belltown. Aside from alerting authorities about suspicious activities, residents are urged to lock up... (attle Police Department investigating string of dumpster fires)
By Alana Cerroneacerrone@abc6.com@Alana_CerroneUpdated by: Rachael PerryWARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — Police have arrested a woman who left a cat frozen in a box near a dumpster. Donna Vessella, of Warwick, is facing charges for abandoning an animal and unnecessary cruelty. Next to a dumpster outside the Bayside Apartments on Sandy Lane, one of the employees of the property found cardboard box and went to throw it away. That’s when he noticed there was something inside of it.It was a cat, but looked like a ball of fur.It had 12 pounds of fur on it. However, the fur actually saved it from freezing to death outside. It was 23 degrees that day, and his fur froze to the side of the box, and was dusted with snow.He barely looked alive. His eyes were hidden underneath his fur and were crusted shut.The cat was covered in urine and feces.It took vets two hours to cut him out of his matted fur. When they finally did, they saw his tail was purple and cold to the touch.Amazingly, the cat was otherwise okay, aside from some minor medical issues that the Warwick... (WLNE-TV (ABC6))
WEST WARWICK — The Pawtuxet River Authority hosted a cleanup on Saturday, Oct. 28 at the Crompton Fishing Pier on Manchester Street as part of the group’s larger effort to maintain and preserve the waterway for future generations to enjoy.According to Pawtuxet River Authority Vice Chairman Stan Brittsan, he and a group of volunteers from St. Joseph’s School were able to get hands-on behind the pond, where there was a buildup of trash and refuse.“The stuff is falling into the water and getting tossed into the pond,” said Brittsan. "There’s a real mess back there, so we decided let’s do a cleanup.”The spot has become home to tires, trash, empty bottles, propane tanks, chairs, Dunkin Donuts cups and even several 55-gallon barrels that had been dumped.“We’ll work with the kids to pull everything out and maybe also do some pruning,” Brittsan noted. “It’s supposed to be a beautiful day. It’s good to see people that just want to help clean up because it’s their town they want to do something good for... (Ricentral.com)
Halloween events were canceled in Harpswell and Topsham, where she has family. Neighboring Brunswick also was discouraging trick-or-treating.“She was hysterical,” Morrell said of her young zombie cheerleader. “She said, ‘They can’t cancel Halloween!’”In Bedford, New Hampshire, 11-year-old Maddie LaCroix and her girlfriends were dressing up as Patriots football players while the boys were dressing as cheerleaders. They were disappointed to have to wait until Sunday.In Rhode Island, Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo came up with a solution. She bought hundreds of pieces of candy and said that her home has power, so trick-or-treating kids can “come to the governor’s street.”The storm caused problems across all of New England: A house was swept away by raging waters in New Hampshire, sailboats crashed onto a beach in Massachusetts and an empty construction truck was blown off a bridge.From Maine to Rhode Island, Coast Guard officials were assessing damage. Crews identified more than 50 vessels torn from their moorings. Many of the vessels were unmanned and adrift while others were washed up on shore.In Massachusetts, a sewage treatment plant in North Andover lost power during the storm and spilled 8 million gallons of untreated waste into the Merrimack River, North Andover Town Manager Andrew Maylor said.Because of the power outage, a pump failed to move waste into the treatment plant, allowing the waste to back up and flow in the river, he said.There was no immediate threat to residents, and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection was looking into the matter, he said.In Maine, U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin, a Republican, called for an investigation after the state’s only Veterans Administration hospital outside Augusta asked for emergency power during the storm.The Maine Emergency Management Agency had National Guard soldiers deliver a large backup generator on Monday.The director of the Togus VA said the facility never lost backup power and that the request for help was made as a precaution.In Vermont, dairy farmers who lost electricity in a wind storm that caused widespread outages across New England were relying on generators to power milking equipment to milk cows and to keep the milk cool. Vermont is the largest dairy producing state in New England, with about 800 dairy farms.The scope of the damage in Maine made comparisons to the ice storm inevitable. That storm wrecked the power delivery system in eastern Canada and New England, causing tens of millions of dollars in damage.Roger Pomerleau remembers the 1998 storm well. He said the cold temperatures made that storm harder on a lot of people, but this storm is the one that k... (Greensburg Daily News)
Joanna Tzouvelis jtzouvelis@wickedlocal.com @citizenherald The Town Hall auditorium was crowded with residents concerned about the future of trash collection in Belmont as well as the future of the world’s environment on Sept. 25.Following a public discussion for more than three hours, the Belmont Board of Selectmen voted in favor of putting out a request for bid for automated trash collection with 64-gallon barrels, with the option for 35-gallon barrels or other accommodations for citizens with small amounts of trash. The selectmen also voted to maintain the current curbside pick-up services for yard waste, appliances, dual stream recycling with one major revision – only one bulky item per household per week will be allowed on trash day.Selectman Adam Dash was the one selectmen who voted against the motion. He wanted to add a request for an additional bid to include an option for a 35-gallon barrel. He thinks a 35-gallon barrel would be sufficient for most Belmont households.Marcotte advised against asking... (Wicked Local Belmont)
