—Letter from OG resident:
Dear Neighbors,
According to many major publications and housing experts, dryer lint caught in the dryer vent system is a significant cause of home fires.
Recently, a local company performed professional dryer vent cleaning for us, and we were amazed at the findings: a bird’s nest behind a closed vent; a screen cap inside the vent to catch the lint, and the lint was so balled up that air couldn’t get through, and we found loads of lint in the vent lines where owners were seasonal as well as full-time residents.
Considering OG’s history of fires and the potential for more, we urge all homeowners to clean the removable filter after each cycle and to have their dryer vents professionally inspected and cleaned regularly.
Please, feel free to share this information with others.
—Ocean Grove Citizens Patrol will end operations after 29 years. This is an official statement:
“The OGCP was solely funded by the generous residents of Ocean Grove through the yearly fundraiser. The OGCP has actively tried to recruit new members as the number of dedicated volunteers has been dwindling. Support from local officials has not been as strong as in previous years which prompted the Executive Board to decide that the OGCP has served it’s mission purpose of citizens protecting citizens.

Cindy Bell, quite a favorite, is the most effective conductor of the event.
Her caring “teaching” style is evident throughout.
