\”Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition and heat exhaustion can also require hospital care,\” said Health Commissioner Mary E. O\’Dowd. \”In extremely hot weather, it is vital to drink plenty of fluids, spend time in cool places and reduce or reschedule any physical activity. And please remember to check on elderly family members and neighbors to make sure they are safe.\”

Prolonged heat and humidity can present a serious health hazard, especially for young children, the elderly and persons taking certain medications.

The store was well stocked with many convenience items. I got some Tang, bananas and a large can of whipped cream too. (That’s good in my coffee. I don’t like the taste of coffee, but that makes it just fine!) The point is that they have a lot of things you’ll need without having to leave Gloucester City. And that’s the real point. Everyone wants convenience, but if local mini-market merchants have to close because they don’t get the support they need, it can mean a drive out of the City. So one of the purposes of his piece is to encourage everyone to support this Market and other local businesses.

Small business entails risk and commitment. Local merchants like the young couple who own Express Super Market have taken that risk in trying to serve the community. Help them to help you and everybody will stay happy! I don’t live in town, but I come in to try to support local businesses like Express, Max’s and Vitale’s because I care about Gloucester City and its future. I stopped in TD Bank to get money too! It’s a very nice office and a great addition to the City.

KUDOS TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED! –Friday, June 12, 2015, members of the New Jersey State Police, Hunterdon County Prosecutor\’s Office, Clinton PD, Clinton Township PD, State Park Police, and many more people, carried the torch for the 2015 Law Enforcement Torch Run for the New Jersey Special Olympics.

The annual Torch Run is a statewide event designed to raise money for the New Jersey Special Olympics.

The members pictured ran a 5 mile leg in the blistering heat! Not one of the volunteer runners complained. The Torch Run is for a great cause, and everyone is looking forward to next year, rain or shine!

The Pine Hill Police Department has seen an increase of opiate overdoses over the past few months and is also advising residents about the increased danger of purchasing fentanyl laced Heroin both within Camden City and the outlying suburbs.
