PSE&G official told council the 'Energy Strong' initiative will not mean a rate hike for customers.
In thanks for PSE&G's power-restoration efforts during last October's Superstorm Sandy, the Verona Township Council returned the favor at its Monday meeting by voting unanimously to support for the utility's "Energy Strong" initiative, according to a published report. Under "Energy Strong," PSE&G would invest $3.9 billion into efforts to better protect the area from future weather events, said the Verona-Cedar Grove Times. Some components of the project include aising the height of switching stations, aggressive tree trimming and examining how light poles and wires are constructed. PSE&G Essex and Passaic counties Regional Public Affairs Manager Everett Scott said the initiative would not mean a rate hike for customers.
County residents began receiving fundraising letters in the mail from the United States Deputy Sheriffs’ Association.
Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura advised Essex County residents Tuesday to be on the lookout for what may be a fraudulent fundraising letter issued by an organization called the United States Deputy Sheriffs’ Association according to a published report. Fontora alleged that the association, which claims to be a Wilton, N.H.-based nonprofit dedicated to officer survival training, may not be trustworthy. The group solicits donations to fund its programs. “This organization is not connected with any legitimate police, sheriff’s or public safety department as far as we can tell,” Fontoura said in a statement. Independent nonprofit evaluator Charity Navigator scored the United States Deputy Sheriffs’ Association low in the areas of …

Haven't received mail, but I have received phone calls in the past ... I either just hang up, or say "No you're not" before I hang up when the voice at the other end says they're calling from my "local police dept." The voice has never identified themselves other than "local police dept." Just once the voice said "from your township" ... Uh Huh! Plain and simple .... Hang Up! Always! more ›

Patch offers mosquito prevention tips, and the map below shows the number of West Nile cases last summer.
Last year, Essex County reported four cases of West Nile virus, or .02 cases per 10,000 people — less than the state incidence rate of .05. And this county wasn't alone. All across New Jersey, the number of West Nile cases were at an all-time high. "The whole country experienced the worst year on record for West Nile Virus," said Dr. Shereen Semple, epidemiologist at the New Jersey Department of Health. "We don't know exactly why yet, but most of the experts agree that it has to do with the weather conditions. When the conditions are very hot and dry, we tend to see bad years." To give residents a sense of West Nile’s prevalence across the state, Patch has pulled together 2012 county-level data from the Centers for Disease Control and …
