Leaf Squad


Because Pine Lake needs a new place to put collected yard debris, and because the city workforce now consists of one person (Matt Wells, below, in his signature shades), the city council has asked citizens to refrain from putting branches and bags of leaves on the curb.

On Saturday, and again today, citizen volunteers joined Matt, mayor Kathie DeNobriga, and Phil Howland to pick up bags that have accumulated in front of houses (including my own house). I was one of the volunteers. I spent two hours and had a good time.

Above, Phil Howland drives the city's front-end loader. Note the leaf bags which have fallen apart. That's what they're supposed to do.

Below, Tuesday's leaf team.


Standing (L to R): City Worker Matt Wells, Mayor Kathie DeNobriga, City Administrator (His Title Keeps Changing) Phil Howland, Alan Gordon. In Truck: Paul Reardon, Kim Fugate.
