St Patrick Church, which has had power all week, has done NOTHING to help the people of Chatham. What happened to the "One hand,one heart?". Shame on you Father Bob and Mrs Hobbie

With no power until last night, I spent a lot of time walking and driving around Chatham Borough this past week. The one consistent bright spot in this mess was the Public Works Dept. In contrast to the almost non-existent JCP&L crews, the Borough trucks were everywhere, from morning to night, seven days a week, cleaning up and helping out. They have done an outstanding job and we all owe them our thanks. If you don't appreciate their value, check out the Chatham Twp. notices where residents (many of whom are still in conditions worse than those in the Borough)are told to bring their brush and debris to the Twp. mulch area on their own!

Thanks guys!

Ella, I didn't see your comment as Catholic-bashing at all. Quite frankly, I've been looking at the list of charging and warming stations, and only saw Ogden and St. Pauls. Perhaps I missed it. And if I did miss St Pats offers, I would expect that a fellow townsperson might correct me and spread the word about how St. Pats has also been offering assistance, rather than bashing me. I'm sure that's not what St. Pats is about.

Tere215: why is this considered catholic bashing? the point is that st pats appeared to be open only sat and Sunday afternoons. Not everyone knew this. Not everyone has Internet access. Why could they not stay open overnight and during the week? other churches on Main Street were open during the week. I personally never saw st pats on the list of charging stations you mentioned but I may have missed it.

If the Township wants to help - truly help - please reconsider your stance on the removal of branches and other storm-related debris. To suggest residents use precious gasoline to drive back and forth to recycle branches is bordering on insane. Further to that point, the Township has wisely (in my view) moved official Halloween trick-or-treating to Saturday. But without help from the Township in clearing the branches, there is no chance the yards and sidewalks and driveways the kids run through to trick-or-treat will be clear in time. It's fascinating to watch Township officials beg residents for help while refusing to step up in the wake of a storm that has left so many in dire conditions. I've helped many of my neighbors throughout this storm, but many of the branches are simply too large to transport safely. How about some help where it is actually needed? Unlike the power, this is something the Township has the money and resources to deal with.

Why Chatham Township Sandy's power restoration screws would not order uotstate or military crews electric power special equipment crews knowing that ALWAYS even in little regular thunderstorms ALL RIVER RD AND TERRACE DR ...apartments condos HAVE BEEN WUTHOUT THE ELECTRICITY??
What kind of people who do nit have a human brains are managing Chatham's Condos Associations?? It is ridiculous that knowing that THESE specific areas ALWAYS before used to problems with delivering electric power?
In last year during Irene storm we also do not have a power for 6 DAYS?
So, now we are repairing deeper problems and "OUR LOVELY "electric company trying to solve these repairs without National Government or Military Crews keeping us residents under 31 FARANHITE DEEGRE temperature outside in November?!!!!
It is look like someone saving the Monet ie harassing residents?

Why Chatham Township Sandy power restoration screws would not order earlier outstate or military crews or any highly trained electric power crews, knowing that ALWAYS even during a little , regular thunderstorms ALL RIVER RD AND TERRACE DR ...apartments condos HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE ELECTRICITY sometimes for hours??
What kind of people who do not have an intelligent, hyman brains are managing Chatham's Condos Associations??
It is ridiculous that knowing that THESE specific problems are repeating and existing ALWAYS before ?

Anna. That is the most incoherent passage i have ever read. In twelve lines of content you did not manage to create one complete sentence. I especially enjoyed "hyman brains" and "faranhite deegre". thanks so much . after the week we've all had I could use a good laugh. If you are an immigrant from a non english speaking country i apologize, if not get back in school.

Hej jjj
Thank you for your great check spelling! IDo you want to rewrite my previous message?
I really believe that you want to prove me that you were born here . I expected from someone like you some sentyment....to the the foreighners....but like ALWAYS in this raciest little town I am not surprised that you want to prove me who is smartest? BUT JUST FOR WHA
You support to stand by my side to fight to have electricity and hot water. It shows that you feel undervalued to be valued citizen and care about the others. Shame of yourself.....to do not see a way of help the others only to use your anger to fight with me !! Better to fight with these whi are use the correct spelling to make you powerless like you are.

Where is he? Just another lying politician!

I am writing again ....Does anyone could believe that in little town Chatham Township
New Jersey in a huge apartment complexes we still do not have electricity from 7 days and 7 freezing nights? It is Monday, November 5,
2012, 8:14pm....it is 7 days after hurricane Sandy.

I live on Scenery Hill Dr. Last year it was 6 days before power was restored we have been told to expect it back Wednesday or 9 days since the storm. This seems unlikely since there is no visible repair work going on. There are rumors we may be out for up to 3 weeks. I hope it isnt true but if it is I would like to know that. Is there any official information anywhere that is reliable?

Wow, what a lot of incoherent posts. Bottomline, I would hope that people would work together in times of strife. I hope everyone gets power and can stay warm. In the big picture what is going on in areas far worse hit, makes this seem petty in comparison. Patience and generosity of spirit is what is needed now. Good luck to all....
