Look for Cherry Street neighbor Michael “Howie” Hall in upcoming 2017 episodes of the fourth and final season of AMC’s ‘Turn’ television series, which is about spies in the Revolutionary War. He’s acted in small parts in quite a few previous seasons of the show and says he has enjoyed it immensely.

This Wednesday is a red Wednesday, which means trash and recycling pickup. Ideally, rolling recycling containers are stored and deployed in the back alleys along with trash cans. Please make sure you pick up containers after pickup tomorrow night.

In recycling news, the Carolinas Plastics Recycling Council (CPRC) and the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR), Florence, Kentucky, have announced the release of the jointly produced “Your Bottles Means Jobs (YBMJ)” video. The two-minute video tallies the 3,500 jobs in plastics bottle recycling and related fields in the Carolinas, including bottle sorting, recycled material processing and manufacturing of recycled-content products, such as polyester fiber made from recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles.
From the article in Recycling Today:
“We are pleased to promote recycled plastics processing and manufacturing jobs in North and South Carolina and to see recent investment by industries that facilitate or use recycled plastic material feedstock to create and sustain jobs,” says Chantal Fryer, director of recycling market development for the South Carolina Department of Commerce. “The ‘YBMJ’ video shows us how these jobs add up and is part of an ongoing YBMJ campaign to encourage everyone to recycle just two more bottles each week in support of local jobs.”
She adds, “Although our video is Carolinas-focused, our message of local collection supporting local economies, job creation and infrastructure is relevant across the U.S.”

From FaceBook event page:
Each year a special ceremony is held in Hollywood Cemetery to honor the many children who have passed away. The ceremony is held at the Angel of Hope statue in the Idlewood section.
Inspired by Richard Paul Evans’ best-selling novel by the same the name, the Angel of Hope is a bronzed angel that sits in numerous cemeteries across the country to memorialize lost children and create a place for collective healing.
Join us on Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at 6:00pm for this year’s candlelight ceremony. The event is free and all are welcome.
