PENNINGTON UPDATE
By John Tredrea
Sept. 11 of every year will be Recognition Day in Pennington for all first call responders and community volunteers.
Pennington Borough Council voted unanimously Tuesday to follow the lead of the Hopewell Township Committee, which passed a similar measure several weeks ago.
"This is in recognition of fire department and first aid people in all of Hopewell Valley," Councilman Weed Tucker said. "We should always remember the dedicated service they perform for us," added Mayor James Benton.
Borough officials wish to remind residents that the Department of Public Works will no longer pick up leaves that have been mixed in with brush or cuttings. Just leaves, a spokesman said.
