In August, Jefferson Stratford Hospital hosted dozens of families for a free community food pantry and health fair on their campus at 18 Laurel Road East, Stratford, NJ 08084.
Designed to help local families prepare for the start of a new school year, the food pantry and health fair provided access to nutritious food boxes donated by the South Jersey Food Bank, free school supplies (pencils, notebooks, erasers, highlighters, scissors and rulers) donated by Jefferson-East employees and access to healthcare resources, including representatives from Jefferson Health’s departments of primary care, weight management, infection prevention, food and nutrition, obstetrics & gynecology, Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation and the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Centers.

On the first day of school for many Pennsylvania students, Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan and Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe today sent formal letters to Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen, urging the Department of Health to immediately exercise its emergency powers to schedule 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) and related kratom derivatives as controlled substances under state law.
The urgent request comes as students return to school amidst a growing proliferation of potent kratom-derived synthetic products being sold over the counter at smoke shops, gas stations, and other local retailers. Products containing 7-OH, a concentrated alkaloid found naturally in trace amounts in the Southeast Asian plant kratom, produce opioid-like effects on the body comparable to morphine or heroin. Despite these risks, 7-OH is frequently marketed without age restrictions and packaged as gummies, vapes, and candy bars specifically designed to appeal to minors.

Flora Dorothea “Dottie” Hinger (née Bauscher), passed peacefully on the morning of September 2, 2026, at Brookdale Evesham Senior Living in Vorhees, NJ, at the age of 94.
She was married for 61 years to John T. “Jack” Hinger, and raised three children with him. Later she decided to attend college, earning a nursing degree at an age well beyond most of her classmates, a challenge she met with eager determination and took well-deserved pride in accomplishing, working for a time as a visiting nurse. She loved nature and music, often harmonizing to her husband’s singing of old standards as they drove on family trips to the shore.
Preceded in death by her parents, Beatrice May Bauscher (née Hughes) and Walter Julius Bauscher; her husband John T. Hinger, Sr. (in 2013); and her brothers Walter Julius Bauscher, Jr. and Glenn Hughes Bauscher. Survived by her children Judith Hinger Hoskins (Darwin), John T. Hinger, Jr., and James D. Hinger (Lorraine); her grandchildren Pamela, Natalie, Kimberly (Ryan), Jacqueline (Daniel), Daniel (Madison), Matthew (Jessie), and Bo; and great grandchildren Aiden, Rylynn, Maddison, Jonathan, Vincent, and Kinsley; also her nieces Tina, Jill, Carol (Hal), Linda, and Dianne (Chris); and nephews David (May), Michael (Michelle), Bob, Don (Karen) and their families. We will all miss her.
Dottie’s memorial service will be private for her family.
