Pharmacies with
Standing Orders to Dispense Naloxone Naloxone and How it Can Save a Life Naloxone is an opioid antidote medication designed to reverse the life threatening effects of an opioid overdose. Many pharmacies dispense naloxone without an individualized prescription, using a "standing order" from a physician or the Department of Health. You can obtain Naloxone from your local pharmacy even if you are not the intended user, but a family member, friend, or care giver. |

Free Fishing Day
Saturday, October 17th, is Free Fishing Day. On Free Fishing Day,
adults can fish without having to purchase a license. (Those under 16 do not
need to purchase a license.) All other state regulations apply. This
day is a no-risk investment for an introduction to freshwater fishing in
the Garden State and the perfect time for families to enjoy a free day of
outdoor fun. For more information, visit the Division
of Fish and Wildlife website.
We have a planned outage
scheduled from 8 am to 12 pm on Wednesday 9/23/20 to make some necessary
repairs affecting approximately 10 residents in White, Belvidere and Liberty.
The residents affected by the outage received the below automated phone message
informing them of the outage.
“Hello. This message is from JCP&L,
your electric company. On September 23 2020 there will be an emergency
interruption to your electric service in order to make repairs to utility pole
on Lewis Lane. The outage will impact customers in the vicinity of Lakeside
Drive, Lewis Lane, Mountain Lake Road, Shady Lane and Wood Road. You will
experience a service interruption for approximately four hours. This outage is
necessary for the safety of the emergency responders and to prevent equipment
damage that would cause a longer outage. Thank you for your patience and
understanding while we perform this emergency work. To hear this message again,
please remain on the line.”
Please be advised that Chesapeake Bay Helicopters (CBH) will be conducting an inspection of JCP&L transmission lines in Northern New Jersey today.
The pilot will be in communication with any local airports, when in their
airspace. The helicopter will be flying at a speed of about 25-35 mph above or
alongside the lines and may circle around for a closer inspection.
The helicopter is black with tail number N748CB.
Naloxone Distribution at Participating Pharmacies
NJ
Human Services is making the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone available
for free September 24th to 26th at participating pharmacies throughout New Jersey.
The
distribution is part of the Murphy Administration’s continued effort to combat
the opioid crisis. New Jerseyans will be able to visit participating pharmacies
and anonymously obtain naloxone for free without a prescription or an
appointment. Each naloxone pack contains two doses.
Naloxone
can reverse overdoses from opioids by blocking the effects of opioids on the
brain.
Those
who obtain naloxone will also be given information regarding addiction
treatment and recovery through Reach NJ, a 24-hour-a-day, 7 day-a-week
addictions hotline where people who have Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or
friends and family of people with SUD can get immediate assistance and support
from live, New Jersey-based, trained addiction counselors.
An individual who calls the program’s toll-free number, 844-ReachNJ (732-2465), will
reach a live staff member who will help connect you to treatment.

We understand everyone's frustration with the recent power outages. I have been in touch with our JCP&L liaison, who reports that the issue is with faulty insulators on the transmission lines at the Oxford substation. They are working on identifying and repairing the equipment. We will update as we receive more information.
