YouTube : Remembering Charlie Kirk

WASHINGTON DC (Cleary’s Notebook News)(February 27, 2026)–Last month, Cabinet members of the Trump Administration posted an inspirational tribute to their friend on YouTube. Kirk was shot and killed on September 10, 2025. According to a Wikipedia article, Kirk was an American right-wing political activist. He was assassinated at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was scheduled to speak at an outdoor campus debate organized by Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization he co-founded and led.

Proposed Rail Line in Elk County, Pa, Has Community Concerned

By Lauren Jessop | The Center Square contributor

(The Center Square) – A community is fighting to stop a proposed rail line in Elk County that would move trash through Horton Township to a landfill in nearby Fox Township, warning it could harm the quality of life and the local environment.

The project, currently under federal review, has been paused, though, and whether it resumes may hinge on a 1.5-mile stretch of sewer line.

Supporters say it could reduce long-haul truck traffic by shifting waste transport to rail, while opponents argue it would cut through private property and raise concerns about impacts on homes, churches, and waterways. 

It would add 3.87 miles of new track along an abandoned rail bed, beginning at the end of an active Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad line – commonly referred to as the “Toby Branch” – near the O-I Crenshaw Glass Plant, and ending at the Greentree Landfill. The landfill is operated by Noble Environmental, the parent company of Lampwrights LLC, which was formed to develop the proposed rail line.

2026 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show: History Never Looked So Fresh

A staple in Philadelphia since 1829, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) Philadelphia Flower Show is the oldest and largest indoor horticultural event in the world, typically drawing tens of thousands of people each year.

Since its inception, the Flower Show has stood at the precipice of creativity and innovation (the poinsettia made its North American debut at the show!), attracting top florists, landscapers, designers and horticulturists from across the globe.

The 2026 theme — Rooted: Origins of American Gardening — takes flower enthusiasts on a journey through the history of American gardening, set to coincide with the year-long semiquincentennial celebration across the region and country in 2026.

While the 2025 theme (Gardens of Tomorrow) looked at the future and 2024 celebrated the present (United by Flowers), the 2026 show looks back at horticultural legacies and cultural practices that shaped our current gardening landscapes.

Beyond its large-scale landscapes, the ticketed event hosts a major juried competition in horticulture and floral arranging, as well as tons of gardening talks and demonstrations, hands-on activities for all ages, special events, a sprawling market and so much more.

This year, the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show runs from February 28 through March 8, 2026. Tickets can be purchased here.

Rabid Skunk Confirmed in Cherry Hill

The Camden County Department of Health and Human Services has been notified by the New Jersey Department of Health that a skunk found in Cherry Hill has tested positive for rabies.

On February 20, two Cherry Hill residents found a skunk having an altercation with their two dogs in their backyard. The residents were able to trap the skunk safely and took it to a wildlife rescue center. The wildlife rescue center arranged for rabies testing at the state Public Health & Environmental Laboratories (PHEL) in Trenton. On February 26, the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services was notified by PHEL that the animal was rabid. There were two potential human exposures.

The wildlife rescue center and the dog owners were notified. The Camden County Department of Health and Human Services received proof of vaccination for both dogs. The dogs will be under confinement and observation for 4 months. The involved humans were recommended to speak to their physicians about receiving post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

Delivering $12M in Community Project Funding to South Jersey

Community Project Funding allows Members of Congress to work directly with local leaders to ensure the needs of our congressional district are being met. This year, I was honored to secure nearly $12M in Community Project Funding for South Jersey, including $850,000 for Camden County College. 

There’s been a lot of tough news lately, but this funding is a reminder of what can happen when government listens and delivers. From improving flood prevention infrastructure and expanding access to clean water, to supporting new education programs at Rowan University and Camden County College, these investments will make our communities safer, stronger, and more resilient.
