RECAP | Green Brook Waterway Clean Up |
|
On Saturday, October 23rd, from 10 am to 1 pm, Plainfield residents set out to help clean the surrounding area near the Green Brook Waterways. Members from neighboring municipalities all along the waterway also joined in the movement and cleaned up the Green Brook Waterways regions in their town.
Adrian o. Mapp in conjunction with the Mayor's Alliance for a Clean Green Brook Waterway, Assemblywoman Linda Carter, Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership, and Central Jersey Stream team targeted the five major waterways in Plainfield. Volunteers and members of the City's DPW Division cleared Netherwood Ave, Leland Ave, Sycamore Ave, Rock Avenue Trail, and Greenbrook Park of pollutants. Thanks to those who volunteered and gave up their Saturday for our Queen City.
If you missed out on the chance to volunteer for the Green Brook Waterway Clean Up, no worries, stay tuned. You'll have the opportunity to help clean up our beautiful Queen City at our Clean the Queen event scheduled for Spring 2022.

Mental health illness is not a “made-up” sickness that exists only in the mind. Nor is it something that an individual can banish with sheer willpower; It is a medical condition. Mental Health Illness, like all other medical conditions, requires proper medical care and treatment.
If you feel or suspect you are suffering from a mental health issue, depression, or are having trouble operating on a day-to-day basis, please contact the Mental Health Association of New Jersey. You can call or text 973-571-4100 or speak to someone in person at 673 Morris Avenue Suite 100 Springfield,New Jersey.

OCTOBER is Domestic Violence & Breast Cancer Awareness Month |
|
October is domestic violence awareness month. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. For one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.
- 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking with impacts such as injury, fearfulness, post-traumatic stress disorder, use of victim services, contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, etc.
- 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence (e.g., beating, burning, strangling) by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
- 1 in 7 women and 1 in 18 men have been stalked by an intimate partner during their lifetime to the point in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed.
- Intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crimes.
- Domestic victimization is correlated with a higher rate of depression and suicidal behavior.
October is also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of breast cancer. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Although breast cancer is not an illness that can be prevented, one can still be proactive about our health. Early detection is key to a successful outcome. The statistic shows that when breast cancer is detected early and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.
Take control of your life and do monthly breast self-exams and schedule regular clinical breast exams and mammograms.
