https://pixabay.com/photos/hands-ipad-tablet-technology-820272/ The Delaware River still hugs the brick row houses as the church bells continue to chime in Gloucester City, but one change is becoming more evident: evolving digital habits have changed small-town life, even in our corner of the world. The slow pace has shifted as the digital undercurrent has steadily changed how residents work, connect, and enjoy themselves. Gloucester City is quietly but surely experiencing a cultural shift from local commerce transforming through social media and locals relying more on at-home entertainment. The changes aren’t abstract, either. They happen every minute of the day, whether unfolding on smartphones in kitchens or backyard Zoom calls. For example, offshore casinos have embedded their foothold in New Jersey, and Gloucester City residents are embracing the convenience of at-home entertainment on their terms. Industry expert Matt Bastock confirms how offshore casinos are the primary source of online entertainment for US residents, with... Read more →

The most meaningful sermons are lived, not preached. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. Roland “Poppy” Kelm was the kind of man who lit up a room the moment he stepped in—not because he demanded attention, but because his warmth and joy were impossible to ignore. Roland met each day with a bubbling sense of humor and a deep, steady kindness. He made life feel lighter, more colorful, and a whole lot more fun. Mr. Kelm held his faith dear and carried his beliefs with quiet strength, always grounded, always guided by a deep spiritual compass. Life didn't harden him. He was a delight. We've reached the age where life stops giving things, but takes them away. But don't fear sadness, as it tends to sit next to love. This is the time that we let go, and these are the words that...

Bill A1992, sponsored by Assemblywoman Shanique Speight, Assemblyman Reginald Atkins, and Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, takes a significant step toward ensuring fairness and compassion in New Jersey’s jury duty process. Previously, nursing mothers were not explicitly exempted from jury duty, often creating a hardship for new moms. This law changes that by exempting nursing mothers from jury duty when the child is one year of age or younger. “We have a moral obligation to support new moms, and that includes helping women who choose to feed their babies by nursing or pumping, both of which offer lifelong benefits to the child,” said Assemblywoman Speight (D-Essex, Hudson). “By exempting nursing and pumping mothers from jury duty for the first year of...
