This spring, the Camden County Clerk’s Office and the Camden County Board of Elections is inviting students from across the county to showcase their creativity and civic pride through the “I Voted” Sticker Contest, by designing an original sticker that reflects Camden County or New Jersey, promotes nonpartisan civic engagement, and highlights what voting means to them and their community.
“Not only will this contest give Camden County students the chance to see their artwork worn by thousands of Camden County residents, but it is my hope that it will get our young people excited about voting and civic engagement,” said Clerk Pamela Lampitt. “I’m looking forward to seeing the designs that these students come up with, and I encourage all Camden County students to participate.”
Vaping is often marketed as simple, modern, and easy to start. But before making a decision, it is important to slow down and look at the bigger picture. In Canada, vaping comes with health concerns, legal rules, age restrictions, and product quality questions. That is why people should learn as much as they can before spending money on any device or product.
Know the Rules in Canada
One of the first things to understand is that vaping is not treated like an ordinary hobby product. In Canada, there are laws around who can buy vape products, how they are sold, and how they can be advertised. Rules can also vary by province. Before even thinking about a purchase, a person should understand the legal side clearly.
A trusted online store such as flavourchaser.co should make product information, policies, and compliance details easy to find. A clear and transparent website is always a better sign than one that feels confusing or secretive.

JEER — To the landlord who treated East Thompson Avenue like a dumping ground
A landlord on East Thompson Avenue left an unsightly pile of trash at the curb six days before the scheduled pickup — a heap that sat there blowing around the neighborhood like a slow‑motion insult. Just a few steps away on South Burdsall Avenue, another pile of recyclables was dumped directly in the street instead of being placed in a proper recycling bin.
Gloucester City’s trash ordinances couldn’t be clearer: household waste and recyclables must be placed at the curb no earlier than 7 PM the night before pickup, and only in secure, watertight containers. The rules also spell out weight limits, container‑cover requirements, and fines that can reach $2,000 for repeat offenders. These aren’t suggestions — they’re laws meant to keep neighborhoods clean, safe, and livable.
WHY IT MATTERS
Community pride begins at home. When someone leaves trash out for nearly a week, it doesn’t just create an eyesore — it chips away at the dignity of the block. It tells your neighbors their street isn’t worth respecting. It invites rodents, scatters debris, and sends the message that Gloucester City is a place where standards don’t matter.
And here’s the real frustration: the City already has ordinances on the books to prevent exactly this kind of behavior. If those laws aren’t going to be enforced, then what’s the point of having them? Residents who follow the rules shouldn’t have to live with the consequences of those who don’t.

CHEER-To the Gloucester City Lions Club and the Gloucester Little League organization for replacing the torn American Flag and the POW Flag at the LL field and at the Johnson Blvd Jogging Park. Kudos also to Bruce Parry for his help.
Congressman Van Drew announced progress toward fixing the long-standing traffic design issue at Exit 20 on the Garden State Parkway.”This has been a priority for me since my time in the State Legislature, and I have been working with the New Jersey Turnpike Authority to finally get this moving,” said Congressman Van Drew. “Right now, Exit 20 is designed so you can only enter the Parkway heading south and only exit when traveling north. That simply does not make sense for the people who live and work here. The Turnpike Authority has now completed the preliminary design for improvements. The next step is for the project to move through the Authority’s budget prioritization process to be considered for funding. I will keep pushing to make sure this project moves forward so this interchange finally works the way it should for South Jersey.”
