Slim Randles When the Rafter E branded recently, a bunch of us went out to help. There’s a definite pecking order here, and it's a badge of pride to have worked your way up the branding ladder. As a kid, you flank the calves; you grab them, throw them and hold them down. This is conducive to abrasions, muscle strain, and involuntarily changing the color of your shirt. As you get older, you get to handle the branding iron, then move up to giving shots. After that comes earmarking. When you reach the pinnacle of branding, that is, when you own the calves, then you get to rope the calves and drag them up to the fire. It is a swirling cauldron of heat and hooves, excited cowdogs and bawling cows. There is the smell of manure and singed hair and sweat and corral dust. At the Rafter E, I... Read more →

CNBNews graphic files When introduced into the body, THC interacts with receptors in the brain and central nervous system, prompting the release of dopamine, known as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter. This mechanism contributes to a feeling of euphoria and relaxation, making THC an appealing choice for those looking to alleviate stress or anxiety. Furthermore, studies have indicated that THC can diminish the activity in the amygdala, the brain region responsible for processing fear and stress responses. Research has demonstrated that THC holds promise in calming the mind by mitigating symptoms of anxiety, improving sleep quality, and potentially assisting in the management of specific mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is crucial to recognize that individual reactions to THC may differ, underscoring the necessity of consulting a healthcare professional before integrating it into any treatment regimen.

Another Carjacking in Gloucester City Informed Not Ignored CNBNews graphic files Let me be upfront with this first: I support our police. Now, let me get to what I don’t support: lack of communication. I follow most of the local police departments on Facebook. I like to be informed about what is going on in mine and other communities.

It saddens me to find that Gloucester City does not do this. On 6 June 2024, I returned home from work and settled down to my post-work routine, catching up on the day and what I missed in the world and at home via Facebook.

NJ-SPJ President P. Kenneth Burns issues the following statement regarding Gov. Murphy taking action on OPRA legislation: We are disappointed that Gov. Phil Murphy has signed Bill S2930, which drastically changes the Open Public Records Act. We REFUSE to call this the reform that Sen. Paul Sarlo wants to sell this as.

Anthony Bucco might have been a prime sponsor of the bill, but he did not vote... Read more →
