Congressman Van Drew Hosts Assistant Secretary of the Army to Discuss Beach Replenishment

Together, they announced a major investment coming to the Jersey Shore.

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Van Drew hosted Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Adam Telle, along with federal, state, and local officials, to evaluate the erosion along the Jersey Shore following a year of damaging hurricanes and nor’easters. The visit focused on beach replenishment, long-term storm protection, and ensuring South Jersey receives the federal attention it deserves.

“This was an important visit for South Jersey,” said Congressman Van Drew. “What matters is this: they are here, they are listening, and they understand what is at stake. The Assistant Secretary saw firsthand the damage our shore communities are dealing with, and he understands how important the Jersey Shore is to our economy and to the families who live here. They announced a significant investment into our shoreline of tens of millions of dollars, and it is only beginning of the process to bring more major funding our way. I want to thank Assistant Secretary Telle for coming down and taking the time to walk the beaches with us, meet with our mayors, and talk with the Army Corps about this. We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with him, the Army Corps, and all our local partners to make sure this gets done the right way.

Many nurses want to keep simple wellness habits in their routine, but a busy schedule can make that feel difficult. Wellness does not need long plans or extra hours. It can come from small choices that fit naturally into the day. The aim is not to create a perfect routine, but to find steady habits that feel realistic even during full shifts.

In this article, we will look at simple wellness ideas designed with nurses in mind. These habits can support a balanced lifestyle that feels calm and practical.

A Gentle Morning Start

Mornings can set the tone for the day, even when a shift begins early. A gentle start does not need to be long or complicated. Many nurses find it helpful to do one small thing before rushing out, such as drinking a glass of water, opening a window for fresh air, or taking a few slow breaths. These small moments can help you feel more settled before the day begins. If you have time, a quick stretch or a simple breakfast can also feel grounding. The key is to keep it realistic. A steady morning habit, even a short one, can become a familiar part of your routine.

CNB HUNTING NEWS: Maryland Hunters Harvest Over 70,000 Deer

Statewide harvest is 7.2% lower than the 5-year average

Maryland deer hunters harvested 71,649 deer during the combined archery, firearms, and muzzleloader seasons, from Sept. 5, 2025 through Feb. 4, 2026.

The statewide harvest reported to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources included 29,814 antlered and 37,925 antlerless white-tailed deer, and 1,874 antlered and 2,036 antlerless sika deer. The harvest was 14.9% lower than the 2024-2025 total of 84,201 deer and 7.2% lower than the previous 5-year average of 77,221.

The deer harvest fluctuates annually due to changes in hunter effort, weather conditions, availability of natural food sources such as acorns, disease outbreaks, and the population size prior to hunting season. Multiple counties in central and southern Maryland experienced an outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease during late summer and fall. This likely reduced local deer populations and may have contributed to the lower harvests in those areas. The 2025 outbreak is not expected to have long-term consequences for local deer populations.
