We also have csrdinances concerning garbage and trash. [See 13-4]. Some important
things to remember therein:
Liquids must be drained off.
Contents must be wrapped before placing them in the container
Privately owned containers must not exceed 35 gal. capacity,
must be kept reasonably clean and be water tight.
Containers are not to be placed out prior to 12 hours before
collection and must be removed from the right-of-way within
12 hours after.
Racks or enclosures designed to hold garbage containers may not
be placed on the town right-of-way.
So now you know. Or if you still have questions don’t do anything until you have con
tacted the Town Hall. If they don't have the answer they will get it for you.
□o you want to burn your trash? DON'T!!!!!! There is a ban on burning right now while
the drought persists. Once the ban is lifted there are certain conditions under which it
is allowed. See Ordinance #11-4-2.

PINE KNOLL SHOFES GARDEN CLUB
The april meeting of the Garden Club was in the form of a field trip arranged by
Rachel Mangum, Vice President and Program Chairman. The group met at Town Hall at 9:00 a.m.
and drove to the home of Ann and Steve Warner in the Cape Carteret area. Mr. Warner, well
known for his landscape design and concern with ecology, led the group through part of their
in all their spring beauty. The group then shared a picnic lunch with their de-
l^^^ful host and hostess outside their 90 year old house which the Vi/arners have renovated
and furnished with many heirloom pieces from their family collections. Hostesses from the
Garden Club who provided delectable desserts and cold drinks for the group were Shirley
Hargroves, Dot Hassel, Ruth Smith and Rachel Mangum. It’s a small world as Helen Granger
discovered after good conversation with Mr. Warner and learning he was from their area in
Ohio and distantly related to the Granger clan. There was one drop-out from the nature
trail trek but I'll never tell.
As part of the 1986 Arbor Day celebration, a beautiful Savannah Holly tree was
donated and planted to the right of the main entry to Town Hall. Town resident Erma
Johnson directed the planting and Hizzoner Ken Hanan accepted same and tossed the final
shovels of dirt on same in a low key ceremony.
Garden Club President Vivian Macdonald presented an outstanding program on Ikebana,
the Japanese art of flower arranging, at a meeting April S3 at the Resources Center for the
Seashore Council of Garden Clubs. Louise Jolitz has been named Vice President of this
Council and Lois Jean O'Keefe Recording Secretary.
Plantings on Mimosa Blvd. are complete but the drought doesn't help. Anyone desirous
of doing so can help by carrying water to help the plants survive. Bob Slack, Fire Cap
tain, gave them a good soaking via the fire hydrant but more is needed.
May program will be a plant propagation presentation by Town resident Mary Rowan.
Mary, an ardent gardener also, with the assistance of Club members, handles the beautiful
plant display at the Resources Center.
Final meeting of the year and installation of new officers will be held Wednesday,
J>^^11 at 12:00 noon at the Holiday Inn. Reservations for members are being taken by
St^Wey Hargroves no later than May 30.
