Hello Riverdalians 0r is it Riverdale Parkians? Hmmmm.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, I'm in the unenviable position of needing to check out some nursing homes for a friend of mine for short (hopefully) term care.<br>
<br>
What have you heard/experienced about Crescent Cities? Do you have any knowledge of Heartland of Hyattsville? Are there any other facilities in the area you would recommend? Warn me about? <br>
<br>
This is a new experience for me, so all replies will be appreciated! <br>
<br>
And by the way, has anyone noticed how nice our public flower beds are looking? Our Public Works folks are doing a nice job!!<br>

Emily, Sue, Nancy, Gerald (and others)<br>
<br>
I have so enjoyed your Riverdale Park train stories. I am under a very<br>
tight project deadline this week (was hanging out Friday and Saturday with<br>
my dance partner Emily at the 1800s Regency Ladies House Party at<br>
Riversdale!!), so when I get the TownTalk, since I only have a few minutes,<br>
I immediately scan for the articles with train nostalgia. Immediately, I<br>
find peace and tranquility. I just love those stories! I grew up near a<br>
train track, too, in North Carolina. As Gerald said, "Thanks Emily [and<br>
others]. It's thoughts and memories like these that give meaning and<br>
character to our little town of Riverdale Park."<br>
<br>
We must collect them and publish our own
little book of your thoughts about<br>
train history in Riverdale Park, um, call it Train of Thought, And other<br>
Riverdale Stories. Ok, kidding about the book name, but not about the idea.<br>
(Self-publish or do we have an publishing company representatives,<br>
developmental editors, acquisition editors in our beloved Riverdale Park who<br>
could get it signed by a company?) What say ye?<br>

I don't want to imply that that your memory of the Good Humor Truck is <br>
like the 5 mile walk to school, up hill, in the snow, but I remember the <br>
Good Humor Truck also.<br>
<br>
The differences I remember between then and the local guy now are 1) <br>
They use to be in tune, 2) played more than 4 bars of
the one song over <br>
and over and 3) were melodic vis harsh synthetic sounds. <br>
<br>
The truck by my grandmother's had real bells. the player was like a <br>
music box and he had several drums he could put in for different songs <br>
(yes I was a geek even then). The one by our house was a glockenspiel <br>
(The good humor man taught me that word). It didn't 'go nuts' when the <br>
truck was moving like the bells did. A REAL STEP UP!<br>
<br>
I don't know if the truck in Riverdale Park is broken, out of adjustment <br>
or just cheap, but it is not music. It is noise and is not going to <br>
generate "good memories."<br>
<br>
Yes, we need to tolerate the sounds of our neighbors "living." I <br>
learned all of songs our neighbor sang while as she washed dishes. <br>
Living cheek to jowl is nothing new. Being less considerate of others <br>
may be.<br>

<br>
All,<br>
<br>
While Sarah provided the noise ordinance, we have a much older law that is<br>
more applicable.<br>
<br>
Chapter 36 has to do with trash and garbage collection. Call the Code<br>
Officer with your complaints. Let Ms. Ferguson contact Crescent Cities and<br>
Jemal about their contractors' violation of the law. Call the police during<br>
the day and ask to speak to Capt. Timmons. Let him know that you will be<br>
calling when you hear the arrival of the trash truck and you expect the<br>
available
officer to respond to let the driver know that he is violating the<br>
town's law <br>
<br>
In Chapter 36, you will find the following: Note 36-9(b).<br>
<br>
36-9. Independent or commercial collection of garbage, trash, and waste.<br>
<br>
(a) All garbage, trash, and waste collected by an independent or commercial<br>
agency shall be contained in a container or receptacle made of durable<br>
materials, watertight, provided with a tight cover, and shall be so<br>
constructed that the contents can be easily removed. All such containers<br>
shall be placed at the rear or rear side of the premises at all times, until<br>
readied for collection as provided in this section, except that the<br>
receptacle shall not be adjacent to a public street, if at the side shall<br>
not be immediately adjacent to residential housing, and if at the rear shall<br>
not create a nuisance and a public health hazard to the immediate<br>
residential neighborhood.<br>
<br>
(b) Collection of such garbage, trash and
waste shall be between the hours<br>
of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.<br>
<br>
(c) Any waiver or variance from the aforesaid conditions, that is, location<br>
of receptacles and hours of collection, may only be granted by written<br>
permission from the Mayor and Council for good cause shown.<br>
<br>
(d) All special refuse containers or "dumpsters" (except those temporarily<br>
placed on a property due to construction, renovation, or rehabilitation),<br>
whether or not serviced by independent or commercial agencies, shall be<br>
screened on up to three sides by an enclosure consisting of chain link fence<br>
with woven slats, stockade-type or board-on-board fence, or other similar<br>
type screening enclosure constructed from chain link, painted or treated<br>
wood, or other materials approved by the Council, and shall be of sufficient<br>
height and type so as to block or screen the special refuse container or<br>
dumpster from street-level view. Gates in the fence or enclosure shall
be<br>
kept closed whenever the special refuse container or dumpster is not being<br>
loaded or unloaded. Waiver of any or all of the requirements of this<br>
subsection may be approved by the Council upon application for special<br>
refuse containers or dumpsters that are not visible from public thorofares<br>
or which under the circumstances cannot be practically screened.<br>
<br>
36-15. Violations and penalties.(Repealed and replaced 5/23/97.Effective<br>
6/12/97)<br>
(a) Generally<br>
Violations of ?? 36-2 through 36-14 of this chapter are declared to be a<br>
municipal<br>
infractions, the penalty for which shall be fifty dollars ($50) for each<br>
initial offense and one<br>
hundred dollars ($100) for each repeat offense, which is defined as an<br>
identical or substantially<br>
similar violation committed within thirty (30) days after the initial<br>
offense.<br>
<br>
Hope this clarifies things.<br>
