Every year in April people come together for Earth Day. This year we will be holding a citywide cleanup event in Bayonne on Saturday, April 30, 2022. It is a day when people show support on pressing environmental issues while also encouraging others to be more aware on how keeping Bayonne Clean is a community effort. The City Council members and I host this cleanup to implement measures to protect the environment in our community and our surrounding waterways as well as to bring a sense of ownership to the residents. The people of Bayonne love this City and it shows through this event! We need the whole community involved.
Last year we had over 800 volunteers who assisted in this effort. The cleanup is citywide from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.  We will then have a celebration at 16th Street Park after the cleanup from 12:00 – 2:00 pm for all volunteers. There will be a bounce house ride, food, and entertainment along with environmental awareness advocates promoting environmental education. mental education.-Bayonne Mayor James Davis

PAINTED UTILITY BOX IN BAYONNE IS IT A PROPHETIC MESSAGE ON CURRENT EVENTS IN UKRAINE OR JUST A COINCIDENCE?
There it stood these past few years on the corner of 19th street and Broadway in Bayonne, how many times we all passed it, looked at it while waiting for the traffic light to change, and it never lit a light bulb in our heads.
Is that who I think it is? Just yesterday a post went around Facebook stating that the Sunflower is the official flower of Ukraine with similar image of a man looking out of Sunflowers. After that post appeared many people began to ask, “Is that who I think it is”? It certainly looks like him. Perhaps the artist who at this time is unknown, although he signed his name for the world to see, was making a statement on the Russian invasion of Crimea back in 2014.
Or did he look further and was warning the world and saying “Watch this guy.” Until we can talk to the artist to find out his motivation, we will wonde,r Prophetic message or coincidence. What do you think?
For now every time we go passed this utility box prayers will be said for the brave people of Ukraine that their suffering ends soon and they can live in peace again.
