Theft in Our Neighborhoods: The Bridgewater Township Police Department is advising township residents of “an increase in evening car burglaries.” It seems that some not so neighborly people are roaming Bridgewater streets after dark when all is quiet, looking for unlocked cars.
You can guess the rest: According to police, “valuables left inside, including GPS units, cell phones, iPods, laptop computers, cameras and money,” are targets of choice. Be alert, because police also advise that these thefts are not restricted to any particular neighborhood.
An Increase in Flu Occurrences: The Superintendent of the Bridgewater-Raritan Schools announced on Friday that the first case of swine flu (H1N1) within the school district was diagnosed at the Eisenhower school. Additionally, Dr. Schilder reports, there has also been “an increase of confirmed cases of Type A influenza across the district.”
I’m not surprised: On Saturday, Priscille and I were scheduled to attend a dance recital for our two granddaughters. But it was not meant to be. The girls visited the doctor on Friday. He diagnosed their symptoms as the flu – not H1N1, and advised them to cancel their scheduled performances.
Although the disappointment of not performing on Saturday, after expending so much time, effort and money on preparation was a huge letdown, they are now recovering well.
This is Sport? Elsewhere, the Courier News reports that “a Bridgewater recreation coach has been indicted on a fourth-degree aggravated assault charge for punching a fan in the face.” I suppose that there, but for the grace of God go I. Still, it’s hard to fathom how civility seemingly continues to erode in so many spheres of our lives.
