CCMUA Featured in EPA Video Series on Climate Change

(August 4, 2015) – The Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA) is one of five utilities nationwide featured in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) climate readiness video series. The CCMUA was chosen by the U.S. EPA because of their efforts to install green energy and green infrastructure projects in order to reduce the nation’s vulnerability to climate change.

\”As President Obama is calling for our nation to take action now to combat climate change, we are proud that the CCMUA is being recognized by the U.S. EPA for their innovative practices and stewardship of the environment,\” said Freeholder Jeffrey Nash, liaison to the CCMUA. \”The work they do on behalf of the residents of this county is something in which we can all be proud.\”

The SafeWise Report: The 50 Safest Communities in New Jersey

New Jersey’s leaders, residents, and law enforcement officers can be proud that their pro-active \"1911879_658889477541575_8165018612563426641_n\" approach to fighting crime is paying off. Since the last time we reported on New Jersey, violent crime dropped from 4.45 to 2.85 incidents per 1,000 residents, and property crime fell from 26.81 to 18.81 incidents per 1,000 citizens.

 To put that into perspective, the national violent crime rate is 3.67 incidents per 1,000 citizens and the property crime rate is 27.30 incidents per 1,000 people. This means New Jersey’s crime rate is approximately 30 percent less than the typical state in the U.S.

What’s even more impressive is that we found 50 Garden State communities where the average crime rate is 78 percent less than it is across the country. In fact, the average violent crime rate of the safest cities in New Jersey is .32 incidents per 1,000 people, and the average property crime rate is 6.57 per 1,000 people.

Pain Patients Say They Can’t Get Medicine After Crackdown On Illegal Rx Drug Trade

By Rachel Gotbaum August 5, 2015

The accident happened 10 years ago when Chris Young was 35. He owned a salvage yard in Maui, Hawaii, and his employee had hoisted a junker on a machine called an excavator when the hydraulics gave out. The car fell on him from above his head, smashing his spine.

\”He was crushed accordion-style,\” says his wife Lesley.

The accident left Young with a condition known as \”partial paraplegia.\” He can’t walk and he needs a wheelchair, but he does have some sensation in his legs. Unfortunately for Young, that sensation is often excruciating pain.
