Chrissy’s Column

Chrissy’s Column

In my family, I’m known as the “quirky” one. (I don’t kid myself; I know it’s just a nice way of saying the “weird” one.) In keeping with my reputation, I am the proud owner of what’s been deemed by my family as an officially weird Christmas tree.

It is unconventional, I grant you that. It’s basically a fake deciduous tree with whose branches have no leaves, but are adorned with tiny berries and mini globe lights.

It’s like no other Christmas tree I have ever seen, and when my husband Ray and I saw it in a store a few years ago, we knew we just had to have it.

Ice Storm Keeps Fire Dept. Busy

Ice Storm Keeps Fire Dept. Busy

Last week’s ice storm and the lingering coating of ice on trees and power lines kept the Fire Department busy with a number of calls about downed wires and trees.

Fire officials responded to two calls on Cherry Hill Road on Tuesday, December 17. At 17 Cherry Hill Road, firefighters assisted police in moving a large tree branch that had come down and blocked the driveway. Down the street, at 34 Cherry Hill Road, wires came down and blocked the roadway. They were determined to be telecommunication wires rather than electrical, and were removed by Fire Department volunteers.
