DOVER (March 23, 2015) – DNREC’s Mosquito Control Section begins its annual spring woodland-pool spraying today, treating wooded wetlands near select populated areas in New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties. About 8,000 forested acres that produce large numbers of early season mosquitoes will be strategically sprayed to treat immature aquatic larval stages, using larvicides applied by helicopter and possibly aircraft.

\”The colder weather this year has somewhat delayed development of larvae for these species,\” said Mosquito Control Administrator Dr. William Meredith, \”But it won’t much affect the numbers of adult mosquitoes that will eventually emerge. With woodland flooding conditions upstate running about normal so far but well above normal downstate, potential exists for lots of mosquitoes to emerge.\”

At the St. Peter’s Church Senior Ministry in Merchantville, the group of 20 begin the day reciting prayers next to a portrait of Pope John Paul II.

It is not the profile of the 50ish young pope, standing and basking in the adulation of a huge throng. It is, instead, the pope struggling in old age in a public way, contributing to the image that later won him the accolade of \”Saint.\” He is an octogenerian, face bloated by medications, his eyes sunken into his face, offering a weary gesture from a waving hand. It is a visual reminder that wisdom and holiness is frequently nurtured toward the end of a long life.

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ March 23, 2015– The Gloucester City Police Department released the following Crime Report today, for the period of March 14 through March 20.
