The Birchwood Civic Association held its first regular in-person meeting since the Covid pandemic, November 8 at the Jackson Elementary Scool. Led by BCA President Roy Chipkin, the group discussed negotiations with Meenan Oil to provide home heating oil and a service contract to members at a discounted price. The oil company has been providing oil and service for the group's members for many years. So far, Chipkin said, no price has been agreed upon by Meenan. The current price for oil from Meenan is $5.19 per gallon. Chipkin said discussions with the company are ongoing. Discussing rising crime in the area, the members talked about putting license plate readers at entry points around the community that might deter wouldbe burglars from entering the neighborhood. One East Birchwood resident described an experience he had when he confronted a burglar
in his home one afternoon. The intruder had entered through a back door and went to the second floor of the split level home. The resident confronted him outside the upstairs office and the intruder ran out the front door. "I followed him and got his license plate and reported this to the police. They caught the man and arrested him. He's now awaiting trial," said the resident. Members discussed strategies for deterring would-be home invaders which included leaving lights on indoors and outdoors, locking cars on driveways, playing music or TV when not home, and reporting suspicious persons or cars in one’s immediate area. Chipkin also told the members that the BCA tree planting program resulted in the planting of 70 trees in East Birchwood at a cost of $17,000. He added that East Birchwood residents interested in joining the BCA should monitor the group's website to learn of upcoming meetings and contact information. The website is eastbirchwood.org.
