Representatives of South Jersey Gas and the state Board of Public Utilities were in town on Monday to celebrate the conversion of our gas mains to a high-pressure system that can withstand the impact of severe weather even as strong as Superstorm Sandy. The work was part of $2.4 billion in upgrades throughout New Jersey. Infrastructure improvements have been my No. 1 priority since I took office, and I’m deeply appreciative that South Jersey Gas is making similar investments in Ocean City. The long-term benefits for our residents and property owners far outweigh the inconveniences of the construction work. I look forward to the completion of the project with the restoration of a few final roadways in September...

1. Many women do not make enough milk. – This is a huge misconception and one that we see often hinder the success of many mothers attempting to breastfeed. There are many reasons a mother may perceive she isn’t making enough, but there are set indicators that tell us she is. How much a baby is wetting/soiling her diaper and whether or not she is gaining weight appropriately are the two primary indicators of a thriving baby. A fussy baby, a baby who cries, or a baby who eats frequently are not indicators alone of whether or not she is getting what she needs. If ever a mother is worried, a simple pre-feed/post-feed weight with an IBCLC can often ease her fears and assist in getting her back on track...

The Jersey Shore’s picturesque beaches, oceanfront mansions and family-friendly boardwalks certainly don’t seem like the backdrop for potential terrorist attacks. But senior law-enforcement officials warned Wednesday that seashore communities are not immune to possible terrorism strikes and should never lull themselves into a false sense of security. Cape May County Prosecutor Robert Taylor, one of the speakers during a homeland security forum in Avalon, bluntly told the audience that terrorism “can happen anywhere in the state of New Jersey.” “There’s an attitude out there of, ‘It can’t happen here, this is Cape May County,’” Taylor said...
