Dangerous hanging branch over E. Brookland Ave
On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 1:57 PM, Steve Beare wrote:
I wanted to let you know about the immediate threat of a large dead hanging branch directly over East Brookland Avenue in front of house #5. This is from a mostly dead Beech tree in the Woodland Run parkland that has lost many limbs over the past few years. I believe this hanging branch broke loose and got hung up in just the past few days.
Starting around 3 years ago, I called Frank Graves and spoke to him and/or his secretary several times to remove the largely dead tree, which is around 80-90 feet tall. Around a year after my first call, Frank contacted Delmarva Power, who contracted Asplundh to remove dead limbs hanging over the power lines. They did this October 25, 2016. However, this did not impact many other dead limbs hanging over the narrow 12 foot wide one-lane street, endangering pedestrians and cars. You will see from the picture just a sampling of the limbs that have fallen over the past two years that I have removed from the street.
The most recent dead limb fell two months ago, and is massive at 10 inches in diameter and 10 feet long. I was alarmed and sent a picture of this on August 6th to Dave Iliff, who immediately sent it to NCC forestry personnel along with other pictures of trees along Little Mill Creek that needed attention. These are now getting it, except for the dead one on East Brookland Avenue.
Below are two views of the hanging limb, which will inevitably fall directly around 50 feet to the street below and impale anything in its way. This hanging limb should be removed as soon as possible, and the dead tree should be removed at the same time.
I am copying Josh and Joanna Gates, who live at 5 E. Brookland Ave., with their 8 year old son Anders.

Red Clay district wants to hear from you - As Red Clay schools select a new leader, the district wants to hear from you
Meetings are scheduled as follows:
- Monday, Oct. 1 at 4:30 p.m., Stanton Middle School, 1800 Limestone Rd.
- Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m., Cab Calloway School of the Arts, 100 N. DuPont Rd.
- Thursday, Oct. 4 at 3 p.m., Distance Learning labs at McKean, A.I. and Conrad high schools
- Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m., John Dickinson High School, 1801 Milltown Rd.
- Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m., Warner Elementary School, 801 W. 18th St.
This was piece was submitted on behalf of the Red Clay Board of Education.
The Red Clay Board of Education has embarked on the search for a new superintendent, and as part of the search process is looking to host a broad and meaningful Community Conservation about the current and future direction of the district.
The catalyst for the discussion is the departure of Superintendent Merv Daugherty, who leaves the district November 1 for another opportunity.
Without question, our educational system is one of the backbones of our community. A strong educational system impacts not only the students we educate and serve, but is also a critical component of the strength and vitality of our local economy — from retaining and recruiting businesses that bring jobs to the community to maintaining strong property values and a high standard of living for all residents.
The Red Clay Board of Education’s intent is that the conversations on the search for the next district leader extend to many throughout our community — from teachers to parents and guardians of current and future students, to members of the business community, mentors and nonprofit partners, as well as government officials, civic associations and community groups.
If you cannot attend a meeting, you can still join the conversation. Please take a few minutes to take our online survey or join the discussion on our new Facebook Page, RedClaySuperSearch.
Red Clay has a strong history of engaging the community in district planning. For its work in College and Career readiness, Red Clay was the recipient of the National Grand Prize Magna award from the National School Boards Association.
Red Clay leads the state in many academic markers like the SAT and the ACT, and enjoys a reputation of being an excellent public school system. Red Clay has also been recognized as a national leader for our efforts in inclusive practices and offering diverse program offerings, including magnet schools, for students across the district.
While there are many reasons we can highlight the accomplishments of the district, the Board also recognizes how critical it is at a time of leadership transition to keep the momentum going and continue to thrive and grow through collaboration with the entire community.
Beyond asking its community what qualifications are desired in the district’s next superintendent, Red Clay has scheduled five town hall meetings (see below) where attendees will be asked to name the district’s greatest strengths, its biggest challenges, and in what direction the system should move in the future.
These are big questions and they require a big conversation, with as many people involved as possible to make the exercise meaningful. Board members stand ready and willing to listen, and learn from the exercise.
Information gleaned from these town hall meetings will be captured and analyzed by the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration and will be treated as a valuable commodity that can inform future decisions.
To all members of our community, we ask you to please consider attending one of the meetings and to take a brief survey. Board members can also be reached through email, with addresses available on www.redclayschools.com. Those interested can also follow the district’s new Facebook Page, RedClaySuperSearch.
Red Clay has long enjoyed a supportive, involved community. It is vital that it continue.
Thank you.

While the Department will not make any formal presentations, staff will be present to welcome attendees and speak to them about the proposed changes to Chapters 6 and 7 of the New Castle County Code. We will also hi-light various initiatives in which we are involved.
and the programs the Department is currently working on.
Following this workshop, the Department will work with the Land Use chairs to schedule a presentation to County Council.

Another Tree Down Woodland Run Park
This is one of the large Beech trees that was one of the danger concerns as identified on the map that previously submitted.
It came down around 10am this morning. Someone could be hurt or killed if these trees are not addressed soon. This will also cause a major blockage very soon. This is one of the two trees just 100 feet or so west of Beech Ave.

Can YOU SEE your house numbers/address on your mailbox/house?
Can YOU SEE your house numbers/address
on your mailbox/house?
Dear New Castle County Residents, When you have lived at the same address for a number of years, you rarely pay any attention to your house numbers (address).
For Police Officers, EMS, and Fire that may be responding to your house for an emergency, your house numbers are what they are looking for.
Make it a point, to LOOK at your house numbers to see if:
- All of the numbers are still there
- They are LARGE enough to be seen easily from the street
- Any landscape vegetation has grown over them limiting there visibility
If you can see them,
So can we...
Thank YOU!
If not, then we can’t either.
Please take steps today so we can find you should you need us tomorrow.
