Here's your chance! The Newlin Township supervisors are soliciting names for 13 currently nameless streams in the township. Send suggestions to the township office at info@newlintownship.org. Members of the stream-naming committee are Supervisor Bill Kelsall, Lindsay Scott, Janet Sidewater, Bill Steuteville and Harriet Tupitza.
Among other suggestions, the supervisors recommend that stream namers "use imaginative, distinctive names suggested by local history, folklore, topography, natural life." Alas, you're not allowed to name a stream after a living person or even to honor a recently deceased person.
A map showing the innominate streams is available in the May issue of the "Newlin News": http://mysite.verizon.net/bullaughey/NewlinNews/2011-05.pdf
The new names will be announced at the end of the summer.
