Mayor DelCore and the Township Committee presented a proclamation at the November 9th Township Committee meeting recognizing November as National Diabetes Awareness Month.
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States, with over 29 million people having been diagnosed with Diabetes and another 86 million adults at high risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes causes more deaths per year than Breast Cancer and AIDS combined. 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with Diabetes by 2050 if changes aren't made now.
The American Diabetes Association has set out on a mission to prevent and cure Diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by Diabetes recommending living a healthy lifestyle to lower your risk of developing Diabetes.
Adults who are at high risk can lower that risk by more than half by making simple healthy lifestyle changes such as staying active and eating whole grain foods, fruits, vegetables and limiting the amount of sugary drinks. Losing just 7% of your body weight can offer significant health benefits.

After the outdoor ceremony, Veterans followed a candlelit pathway back into the Peter J. Biondi Building for a reception. Local Girl Scouts, participating in the Veteran outreach "Interview a Hero" program sponsored by Empower Somerset, took part in the day's events.
In addition to the Township Veterans Day Ceremony, schools throughout Hillsborough held ceremonies to honor our veterans. Mayor DelCore and Committeewoman Gloria McCauley made stops at Sunnymead Elementary School and Triangle Elementary School to show his support for the veterans.

Last month Mayor DelCore paid a visit to World War II Veteran John Harrison and his wife Gloria at
Brookdale Senior Living Center. Mayor DelCore took the opportunity to extend an invitation to the couple to attend the Township's 8th Annual Veterans Day Ceremony. Mr. Harrison not only accepted the invitation, but agreed to be the Military guest speaker at the ceremony.
Mr. Harrison was drafted into service at the age of 17, trained with the 46th Rainbow Division and fought in World War II. He went on to fight in France, Germany and Austria for two and a half years, ultimately earning the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major. Mr. Harrison also earned several medals, including the Combat Infantry Badge and Bronze Star.
