Harry Marker Carnes, M.D., 94, of Audubon

Harry Marker Carnes was born in the mountains of western Pennsylvania to Alexander B. and Harriet F. Carnes during the depths of the Depression when coal and the Railroad were the primary economic drivers of the region. He graduated from Youngwood High in 1950, moving on to Lancaster and Franklin and Marshall College to follow his dream of becoming a doctor. He attended medical school in Philadelphia at Hahnemann Medical College, and interned at Lower Bucks Hospital outside Philadelphia.

Harry met the love of his life, Patricia Carns (yes, Carns) on a blind double date in high school, and they remained together for nearly 70 years, marrying after his graduation from F&M in 1954. They settled in South Jersey where Harry began a small practice, first in West Collingswood, and later in Audubon where Harry continued practicing into his mid 80s. His interest in medical politics led him to becoming President of the Camden County Medical Society, and later the President of the NJ State Medical Society. These experiences made him popular in the American Medical Association for many years.

New Jersey American Water is investing approximately $2.5 million to upgrade critical water infrastructure in Cherry Hill, replacing nearly a mile of aging water main to help ensure continued reliability, water quality, and fire protection for local customers. The project will replace an older cement water main with a new 16-inch ductile iron main along Kresson Road between Springdale Road and Cropwell Road.

This investment is part of the company’s ongoing, multi-year commitment to strengthen water infrastructure in more than 100 communities across New Jersey, supporting reliable service and consistent water quality over time. By making planned investments in infrastructure, New Jersey American Water helps reduce the likelihood of service interruptions, improves water flows for homes and businesses, and supports dependable fire protection for the community. These improvements are designed to deliver long-term value by reinforcing the system customers rely on every day.

Construction is already underway and is expected to be completed by June 2026. Crews will typically work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the possibility of evening and weekend work if needed to maintain the project schedule.

Speaker Coughlin Thanks Governor Murphy for Eight Years of Steady Service to New Jersey

“As we close the final chapter of Governor Phil Murphy’s administration, I want to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation for his eight years of dedicated service to the people of New Jersey and for being a tremendous partner to the Legislature. Through moments of progress and times of uncertainty, Governor Murphy kept a steady hand and an open mind, always guided by a deep responsibility to the people he was elected to serve.

“Working side by side, we delivered historic property tax relief, strengthened our best-in-class public schools, expanded access to health care, and of course, worked to make New Jersey more affordable. We supported the small businesses that create jobs and sustain our communities, strengthened protections for families, workers and voters and moved New Jersey closer to his vision of a stronger and fairer economy. Within state government, we rebuilt New Jersey Transit, earned nine consecutive credit rating upgrades and met our retirement security promises to our public sector workers.

What online interest in the Aviator crash game reveals about digital gaming trends in Gloucester City

Gloucester City has always been a place where local routines matter, from river walks to neighborhood conversations. Yet, digital habits increasingly sit alongside those traditions: if you spend any time online, you may have noticed more talk about fast-paced games that feel very different from older casino formats. One title that keeps surfacing is Aviator, a crash-style game that has gained visibility through mobile platforms, streaming clips and word-of-mouth curiosity.

That rising interest in Aviator mirrors a much larger shift across New Jersey: in 2025, online casino revenue in the state reached nearly $2.91 billion, surpassing Atlantic City’s land-based gaming revenue for the first time and reflecting how digital formats are becoming a primary form of entertainment for many residents. This attention reflects broader shifts in how people interact with online entertainment rather than a sudden change in local culture. Ultimately, looking closely at this interest offers insight into how digital gaming trends reach and resonate within a small but connected community like Gloucester City.
