CNBNews OPINION: IN NJ HIGHER TAXES ARE FORCING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES

 

William E Cleary Sr. | CNBNews Editor/publisher

This past year two elderly families who lived in the *Riverview Heights section of Gloucester City were forced to move because they couldn't afford to live in their homes any longer.  These were longtime residents who have resided in our immediate neighborhood for 25 years plus.

Watching the one senior citizen being evicted by a Camden County Sheriff Officer was heartbreaking. Besides giving up her home she had to give up her dog Popeye along with her cat because the place where she moved to didn't allow pets. Much of her belongings were placed on the curb for trash pickup as there was no room for it in the county home.  The other elderly residents said by moving out of Gloucester City and Camden County to Gloucester County they actually were going to save  $2,000 because their taxes, utility costs and insurance were lower.

Today both homes remain empty.

The Department of Nursing staff at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital’s Tower 2 (T2) medical-surgical unit was recently honored with The DAISY Team Award for 2018 for extraordinary, compassionate and skillful care.

Part of an international program, The DAISY Team Award honors collaboration among two or more nurse-led associates who identify and meet patient and/or patient family needs by going “above and beyond” the traditional role of Nursing.

“We are proud to participate in the National DAISY Award program,” said Jefferson Health’s New Jersey Chief Nurse Executive Helene Burns, DNP, RN, NEA-BC. “Our Nursing team members’ work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides an ideal forum for us to convey that.”

Nurses are nominated for individual DAISY Awards throughout the year by current and past patients (or their family members), physicians, nurses, or other Jefferson Health personnel for demonstrating excellence through clinical expertise, extraordinary compassionate care, and a high-level of professionalism. Winners are selected following a review of nominations by the Jefferson (NJ) Clinical Recognition Committee.

The nonprofit DAISY Foundation was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in late 1999 from complications of an auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique way of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patients’ families.

Comply with the Law and Hire a Trash Removal Company

(February 13, 2019)--New Jersey has strict laws regarding proper waste segregation. You need to throw your garbage away in the right place. You also need to remove the items that are for recycling. You might get fined if you throw them away. Whether you live in your own house or you are renting another person’s place, you need to comply with these laws.

 

Label the trash

 

You can start by labeling the trash bins at home. You need to inform your guests to comply with the rules. You can even set penalties at home for those who violate the use of the labels. It is also easy to remind everyone about this rule if you have labels. If they are not enough, you can put reminders and notes in key places around the house.
