    New floodgates
    From right, Emergency Management Director Rick Fontana demonstrates the newly installed floodgate on the north side of the Campbell Avenue underpass Sept. 19 as police traffic Sgt. Charles Young and Mayor Dorinda Borer discuss the city’s emergency action plan for the flood-prone area. After decades of using wooden sawhorses to block reoccurring flood areas and having public safety personnel parked at the sites, Borer requested the installation of floodgates to safeguard motorists from the dangerous areas. As part of a pilot program, the metal gates have been installed on both sides of the railroad underpass and have flashing orange lights and yellow and-black “Road Closed” signs. Fontana said police will close the gates during rainstorms to prevent vehicles from driving through the low-lying area. A “Detour” sign set up by police on the north side of the underpass will reroute traffic up York Street, he said.

    Picasso Parties owner Darcee LoPresti receives a citation in recognition of her business’s 10th anniversary from Mayor Dorinda Borer, left, on Sept. 26. With them are, from left, Picasso artists Ashley Gibbs, Crystal Betham and Gillian Murray. Borer congratulated LoPresti and her “thriving” arts and crafts business at 944 Ocean Ave. for “providing a wide variety of services that encourage people to be expressive and imaginative.” Reading the citation, the mayor said, “These services have inspired your clients to be the best version of themselves by helping them create memories that last a lifetime.” The woman-owned business, located in the heart of West Shore’s Prospect Beach neighborhood, is nestled in a historic red brick building with a pair of established small businesses: Tom & Pat’s Pizza and Prospect Beach House Deli & Market.
