Pickleball was created with one thing in mind—FUN! Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. Two, three or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite material to hit a perforate polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimentions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications.

WORKING TOGETHER Deptford Township has seven elected Council Members that guide

local government decisions and vision. We also have an elected Fire Commission that operates our Deptford Fire District. Deptford School District has nine elected School Board member’s that hire and advise the school administration. There is a new found sense of teamwork between these elected officials. We hold yearly meetings to bring your elected officials together to meet and share ideas on public safety, emergency operations, projects and sharing what services we provide for a more efficient tax saving operation.

We are working together for the objective of making education, public safety and government services are the absolute best in the State. We have set the bar very high. You are a main part of the equation. Community spirit and unity are the keys to a great Town. For instance our high school students are now getting college credits and school activities like the jazz band and track have State Championships under their belt. The fire district and your individual fire departments are developing junior fire fighter programs that are teaching young adults the importance of getting involved and protecting our neighborhoods. Deptford Police Department is a leader in community policing and involvement in the schools. They operate the Citizen’s Police Academy which is a huge success. The EMT Department and Emergency Operations are a model of efficiency.

We have only touched the surface of the great things happening in your town. Keeping you informed ensures transparency. All of us thank you for working together since that is what democracy is all about. The season is changing but our work ethic doesn’t.

PLEASE DO NOT THROW SNOW INTO THE STREET FROM YOUR

SIDEWALK AND DRIVEWAY

BRANCH REMOVAL Ordinance 0.11.12, Titled Branches and Logs. Please adhere to the ordinance to allow us to maintain the regular pick-up schedule.

• Branches must be able to fit in the yard waste containers. • Branches that cannot fit must be cut to 5’ lengths and stacked neatly at the curbline. • All stumps and logs should be free of dirt and debris and cut to 24”.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS SERVICE IS NOT OFFERED TO BUILDERS AND/OR CONTRACTORS. To schedule a prompt pick-up, please call (856) 228-4719 or visit www. deptford-nj.org.

SNOW REMOVAL

The Township of Deptford needs the help of its citizens to efficiently remove snow and ice from the roadways. We need everyone to keep all vehicles off the street. This includes all registered vehicles and trailers. We intend to plow curb to curb when possible. We have over 500 roads to plow locally and we need 100% cooperation. The following describes the Township’s method of snow removal and what you can do to help.

• The main roadways (those that carry the most traffic) are given first priority for salting and plowing. During a heavy snowfall, concentration is placed on the main roadways until they are cleared at which time the secondary roads are attended to. Cul-de-sacs, or circles, are the last to be plowed.

• Cul-de-sacs are among the most difficult streets to plow and require the greatest amount of time. The Public Works department prefers to push the snow off the road leaving the cul-de-sac free from snow piles that could melt and cause icing conditions. This greatly reduces hazardous conditions and prevents pot holes from forming.

• The Public Works department trucks plow as close to the curb-line as possible. This creates a wider roadway for travel and parking. During heavier snowfalls, there are times when snow may get pushed into already cleared driveways and sidewalks. Following the diagram below when shoveling your driveway will help avoid the driveway getting closed during plowing.

• The snow that is in front of a plow will unload whenever it passes a clear area. Providing a clear area on the side of the driveway where the plow will be traveling, will allow the snow to unload in the clearing before your driveway instead of in your driveway.

• Cars parked on the street become a major problem during inclement winter weather. As the plow goes around the parked vehicles, it leaves piles of snow on the roadway. To avoid this, please remove vehicles from the street during snowstorms, in accordance with Township Ordinance.

• Please avoid driving when it is not absolutely necessary during snow plowing operations. Snow plowing, that is normally a routine function, becomes difficult with stalled, stuck or parked cars in the street.

This is the proper way to place branches out for collection.
