Keeping infants cozy Jean Drelich, a resident of Mill Gardens Assisted Living in Midland Park shows off the newborn infant caps she knits for babies at Saint Joseph’s Hospital. DARE program (continued from page 16) discussion at a couple of borough council meetings, as council members worried that placing them outside the recycling center would be unsightly and difficult to monitor and maintain. The library, the DePhillips Center and the borough hall parking lot were initially considered as possible locations and vetoed. Kasbarian said the company that services the bins picks up once a week, and sooner if it is notified that a container is full. He said he himself will also monitor the sites to make sure they are kept clean. “It would reflect on D.A.R.E. if they are not,” he said. The officer asked residents to contribute to the effort by using the designated bins regularly. Clothing of any kind, size and weight and shoes are welcome.
