CEIC Announces Winners for 2007
Chesapeake's Notable Yards Contest

Beautiful winning yards in all six Chesapeake high school districts have been recognized by the Chesapeake Environmental Improvement Council (CEIC) as part of the Chesapeake’s Notable Yards Contest.

One winning home in each high school district received a certificate, $50 gift certificate from White’s Old Mill Garden Center, and placement of a sign in the yard for a one-month period.  The program is sponsored by the Chesapeake Environmental Improvement Council (CEIC).

"Each yard is quite different," said Jean Pfaehler, mayoral-appointee to the CEIC and co-chairperson of the program. "Each is beautiful in its own way and reflects the area and interests of the owners." The other co-chairperson is Vickie Greene.

The 2007 winners include:

• DEEP CREEK - William Spaur and Ruth Bizot
• GREAT BRIDGE - Eva Tillett
• HICKORY - Martha Webb
• INDIAN RIVER - Benny and Hae (Oke) Ridden
• OSCAR SMITH - Greg and Peg Morin
• WESTERN BRANCH - Bernard and Viola Morgan
