manahawkin: A Local Jersey Shore Environmental Initiative Catches On-It's Now State Law! - 01/06/11 09:34 AM
The wheels of government turn slowly, but a good idea can build momentum. Just a year ago, I wrote about groundbreaking local legislation limiting and regulating fertilizer applications in Manahawkin, NJ. (Protecting the Barnegat Bay - One Manahawkin Yard at a Time) That local ordinance spurred several local initiatives and finally state legislative action. Today New Jersey has the strictest fertilizer usage regulations in the nation! NJ Governor Christie signed three bills yesterday all aimed at protecting the Barnegat Bay from further run-off pollution. In addition to the limits on when and where fertilizer can be applied to lawns, another bill … (10 comments)

manahawkin: A $58 Trash Can? You Bet! - 01/02/11 09:02 AM
A $58 Trash Can? You Bet! Late in 2010 Manahawkin NJ went to single-stream recycling...that means no more separating paper, cans, bottles and cardboard.
It all goes into one handy 96 gallon container and is picked up by an automated truck...Much like Manahawkin's garbage collection. These automated recycling and garbage cans are expensive!
If you're buying or selling a home in Manahawkin, remember those recycling containers (as well as the automated garbage containers) are numbered and assigned to the home.

The 2009 reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Bridge in Barnegat took place on December 27th, 227 years after it was originally fought. The weather was warm and sunny, I wonder how much different the scene at the Old Cedar Bridge Tavern really was.
The original Cedar Bridge Tavern in 1782 had no porch, and the two windows to the left were part of an addition in the 1800's.
The Burlington Militia stops for refreshment at the Cedar Bridge Tavern, after a fruitless search of Manahawkin for John Bacon and other … (8 comments)
