Welcome to UNofficially Winslow

Welcome to Unofficially Winslow.com. Unofficially Winslow was established as a different type of web site. Its format is commonly known as a blog, which is slang for web log. The purpose of the blog Unofficially Winslow is for residents to learn about the current "hot" topics in Winslow and share their thoughts and suggestions.

Some of these hot topics in Winslow Township include the newly installed speed humps on Oak Leaf Road in Cedar Brook, and the Township’s recently conducted public land sale. While these topics are political in nature, Unofficially Winslow will post all topics of interest to Winslow residents. These include, but are not limited to school events, Township events, and athletic accomplishments.

This is our web log, the people of Winslow Township. The Constitution of the United States of America gives us the right to organize, assemble, publish, and one my personal favorites, free speech. No government body, including the Winslow Township Committee, can limit the actions and postings to this web site. There is no five-minute time limit imposed in this public forum like there is during public participation at the Township meetings. Submissions are encouraged by all residents including residents who are elected or appointed to a public office in Winslow Township. Other Township groups and individuals that are not elected or appointed are also encouraged to participate in this forum.

All parties who have an interest in posting a remark, question, picture, or just need a soap box to stand on, are welcome to email their posting to Unofficiallywinslow@comcast.net or may fax their posting to 1(208) 977-6988.

Personal information will be automatically edited from your submission unless you expressly ask for your name to be published with your remarks. However, I would encourage submissions to include a pen name, or initials (and perhaps your section of the Township) so visitors to the site can reply to your remarks and make reference to your submission in theirs.

Thank you for visiting Unofficially Winslow and I encourage you to check in regularly.

WINSLOW HOLDS EMERGENCY MEETING ABOUT TRASH COLLECTION

Please Note: Trash collection issues with the contractor has been resolved. Regular trash collection has resumed.


The Winslow Township Committee held a special emergency meeting on January 12, 2005.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and/or act upon matters to institute emergent procedures for waste collection.

The Township's contractor for trash collection is having a labor dispute, and as such no trash was collected in several towns in the region, including Winslow Township.

The Township was notified just today, Wednesday January 12, 2005, about the contractor's labor issues.

Township officials and employees have already taken action in the best interest of the residents. No less than 10 alternate contractors have been notified and requested to summit quotes. If the regular trash contractor can not resolve their labor issues by as early as tomorrow, Thursday January 13, 2005, the Township officials have authorized Township employees to use whatever means they feel necessary to collect Winslow's waste. Including alternate contractors, Township labor, and Township trucks and equipment.

Waste collection maybe a little slower than normal in Winslow for the next few days or so, but Mayor Metzner, Township officials and employee's are committed to collecting the waste to avoid any threat of a health hazard.

Furthermore, Winslow Township is reviewing it's contract with the regular waste collection company in an effort to collect any possible financial damages.

UNRELATED NOTE:
This posting is accurate, but is on this UNofficially Winslow web site. Which is more than one can say about the so called official web site which has no information on the subject as of this writing.

Furthermore, Winslow Township's new web site has the built in ability of being updated directly from the Township administrator's office. Why has this not been done?

Be sure to check, www.UNofficiallywinslow.com for future updates on this trash collection issue. As well as all available information about our community.

Sincerely,

UNofficially Winslow
