From downed power lines to flooded basements, many residents of the Chathams felt the sting from Hurricane Irene. The large sinkhole off of Van Doren Avenue on the bridge leading to Chatham Middle School was one of the storm's most dangerous and costly impacts in town. The sinkhole cause the bridge to close, leaving all traffic to enter and exit exclusively from Main Street. It also exposed a large pipe which feeds water to borough residents. Borough Mayor Nelson Vaughan called the sinkhole an "imminent danger" and said fixing quickly it was "a matter of public safety." The sinkhole is tentatively scheduled to be fixed by Tuesday. This photo of the sinkhole, taken on Sunday, Aug. 28, is Chatham Patch's Photo of the Week.

This week, a documentary film crew chronicling the journey of a Memorial Cross for St. Peter's Church in New York City, near the site of the World Trade Center, stopped at the 9-11 Memorial in Chatham Borough to talk to local residents touched by the terrorist attacks nearly 10 years ago. The cross, as sculptor Jon Krawczyck explained to Dan Smith Jr., the designer of Chatham Borough's 9-11 Memorial, incorporates remains from the Twin Towers and contained a space for people to drop notes and momentos inside of the cross. This picture of Krawczyk and Smith next to the 9-11 Memorial Cross is Chatham Patch's Photo of the Week.

A turkey stopped cars on Shunpike Road Tuesday.
Things are just slower during the summer. I'm enjoying the decrease in car traffic, and I expect the roads to clear up even more during August. But there was a bit of unexpected traffic on Shunpike Road Tuesday, when a turkey slowly but surely made its way across the road. Cars stopped to let it cross. Not a bad summer snapshot.
