The legislator took the interns out for a day of fun at Playland.

news/garbage-and-recycling.

New containers,called toters,were delivered to homes
starting on Monday, Aug. 5. City Carting dropped o
the two 64-gallon blue toters which will have the City
Carting logo and the town logo on the lid.

Smaller cans, 36 gallon, are available by calling City
Carting at 914-277-4211.

e town voted to switch to dual-stream recycling in
April to secure a lower cost for its contract with City
Carting.

Last year, the town had to increase its tax levy over
the state cap to pay for its refuse contract.

Half of the garbage increase, $143,000, was paid for
from the town’s fund balance and the other half was
from the tax levy increase.

Because the new contract dropped the cost, Lucas
said the town won’t have to use all the money it took
from the fund balance and there will be a further reduc-
tion next year.

Enjoy a refreshing
breakfast

Breakfast has long since been dubbed “the most important meal of the day.” While some
might dispute that distinction, there’s no disputing that a delicious breakfast can be a great
way to begin a day.

Freshness can go a long way toward making breakfast something special. For example,
fresh peaches make this recipe for “Peach Bruschetta with Blue Cheese” from Christopher
Hirsheimer’s “ e San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market Cookbook”(Chronicle Books)
something to savor. e dish also works as an appetizer and can be made with nectarines.

Peach Bruschetta
with Blue Cheese

Serves 4

• 4 slices country bread
• 2 peaches
• Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
• 1/4 pound blue cheese, gorgonzola or Blue Castello cheese

Preheat the broiler. Arrange the bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet, slip
under the broiler and toast, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. is
should take only a few minutes.

While the bread is toasting, halve the peaches lengthwise, pit them and then
peel each half. Cut each half lengthwise into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices, keeping the
shape of each half intact.

When the bread is ready, remove from the broiler and brush each slice on both
sides with olive oil. Spread one-fourth of the cheese on each slice of warm bread,
place a sliced peach half on top, and serve.
