Kevin Greenzweig will fill a vacancy on Parryville Borough Council left by Michael Grant.

Grant formally submitted his letter of resignation from the board to accept a new job in New York.Greenzweig said his neighbor and council member Ralph Washburn alerted him to the upcoming vacancy."I consider it my town and there are things going on that seem to be hard and it's not supposed to be. It should be simple, it's a simple town."Greenzweig has been a resident in the Parryville Borough off and on since 1972. His father was born in the borough in 1936 and purchased the family home on Main Street, where he still lives, for under $4,000."I grew up in the playground getting scrapes and breaking bones. We all had to go in when the porch light came on. It was a small town," said Greenzweig."I used to be able to name all the people on Main and Center streets but it's not like that anymore."The board officially accepted Grant's resignation before appointing Greenzweig to the board."He is well-qualified and respects the borough. I think he's a perfect candidate for it," Washburn said.The board further explored the potential dog ordinance that was proposed months ago."The mayor (Dean Emrey) called and specifically felt section 3-A, about urination, is excessive and would be impossible to enforce," said borough solicitor Robert Frycklund."When they're on a leash it's different," said council member Sharon Hinkle. "But if you let your dog out and it pees in someone's yard, that's another story," she said."I just want this to go through. People let their dogs out unleashed all the time," said Washburn.According to Frycklund the drafted ordinance is a mash-up of surrounding towns' existing pet rules."I pulled from various forms to create it. You can be as strict as you want to be with this," he said."I checked out Walnutport's ordinance and there isn't anything about urination," said Washburn."What if someone's dog is loose," said Hinkle."That's different," said Frycklund.Washburn said he is ready to see the ordinance adopted. "I'm sick of seeing crap in my yard and on Main Street. I'm tired of it. It's unacceptable."The board agreed to advertise the ordinance and begin enforcing it.
