William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (December 27, 2024)(CNBNews)--Most people like birds; they are pretty to look at. Plus, listening to a bird sing is soothing and relaxing. However, the majority of people never give any thought to how harmful bird droppings are to a person's health. So harmful in some cases a person could die by inhaling the air where the dung is located. The source for this article, MedicalNews Today, issued a warning to people about those large green goose droppings that you find at many parks; in particular, they warned dog owners to keep their pet away from it and don't allow them to eat it.

Image source: https://www.pexels.com/@cottonbro/ One's oral health is as significant as the rest of the body systems' well-being. The mouth is responsible for the primary breakdown of our food, so by keeping it in the best condition, we are ensuring that we can comfortably and correctly take in nutrients from our meals. Regularly getting dental check-ups is a must to guarantee that our oral health is in good shape. We can smile, eat, and talk with comfort, knowing that our oral health is fine. There are also times when one needs emergency dental care services like wisdom tooth removal, implant, root canal treatment, or the likes. Maintaining your oral health is uncomplicated if you already have a family dentist to turn to for dental care services. But if you have just recently moved in town or your former dentist moved to a faraway place, finding someone to trust your oral health...

Due to this development, the Board of Commissioners is urging residents to conserve water and adhere to the state’s fire restrictions. “Unfortunately, these dry and warm conditions have not weakened and have caused wildfires across the state to drastically increase,” said Commissioner Jon Young, liaison to the Office of Sustainability. “Residents are urged to continue conserving water as we endure these intensely dry conditions. This situation is ongoing, and we will update our residents on any important developments from the state.” New Jersey has a three-stage drought advisory system where a drought watch, which was declared on Oct. 17, is the first step.

November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month and Family Caregivers Month. To mark these moments, we’re encouraging people to lend a helping hand to the more than 700,000 family members and friends in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania who serve as unpaid Alzheimer’s caregivers.

"We're going to win this thing, trust me. They can't survive too long, and we're going to get what we deserve. We're going to show these greedy bastards you can't survive without us." Buckle up.

In a previous CNBNews editorial, we strongly condemned the Mayor and Council for their failure to hire a full-time City Administrator, a crucial position in any administration. We vehemently criticized the governing body for paying the current part-time City Administrator and part-time Police Chief, Brian Morrell, an excessively high salary of over $225,000. After our editorial was published Morrell lashed out at us in a telephone conversation. His tirade was filled with innuendos, screaming, personal attacks, and foul language. At the time, we wondered whether he was in immediate need of anger management. To be fair, Chief Brian Morrell's treatment of us paralleled the behavior of former Police Chief George Berglund before he retired. We published an article about a member of Berglund's family that first appeared in the Gloucester County Times, which triggered an irate response from him. He sent a letter of admonishment to the CNBNews Editor for...
