What A Treasure Jacqueline Kennedy Was As First Lady

Aside from the influence garnered by her with foreign nations * her restoration efforts at the WH, the Rose Garden, even the saving of Grand Central Station...I learned today that it was she who brought about the White House Historical Society and started the tradition of the unveiling of the portraits.

* She was a great help in getting the Aswan dam in Egypt built. And when Nasser (?) asked what she would like as an expression of thanks she replied ...The Temple Of Dendur which is in the Metropolitan Museum.

New Jersey town cuts down all the trees in town square to deter homeless population

New Jersey town cuts down trees in town square to deter homeless population

"LAKEWOOD, N.J. – A New Jersey township cut down all of the shade trees that once lined its town square in a controversial move designed to prevent homeless people from spending time there.

Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles said the decision was made after a recommendation from the Police Department Quality of Life Unit, which the township said was triggered by numerous complaints from residents and township employees about homeless people defecating and urinating in the area.

“They (homeless people) were harassing people, defecating between the cars and residents were complaining,” Coles said.”

Township Chops Down Shade Trees In Park To Keep Homeless People Out

“A New Jersey township is facing criticism after cutting down the trees in its town square to prevent homeless people from congregating in the shade.

The trees in Lakewood Township’s town square, also known as Red Square, were chopped to the ground earlier this month, local news outlet The Lakewood Scoop reported at the time. But the story gained renewed attention after the Asbury Park Press covered the situation this week.

Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles told the APP that the township decided to get rid of the trees due to an unspecified number of complaints about homeless people “harassing” others in the square, as well as the presence of human feces. The police department’s “Quality of Life Unit” then recommended that the township chop down the trees, according to Coles.”

Some of those trees were huge but I guess they couldn't think of a better solution.
