Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning.

In the news this morning, last week, an employee of DHY Motorsports was testing out repaired jet skis when he found what he believes is dumped medical waste, including a syringe and a vial of blood.

The waste was found in West Deptford near the shoreline at Rivergate Boat Ramp in National Park.

The employee took photos of the vial and syringe and shared them to the Divers against Marine Pollution Facebook page, which is run by a 13-year-old girl, Zoe DeAngelis, who was an avid diver and budding environmentalist. She shared the photos of the discarded medical waste on her page along with a call to action. She says so many people like to bring their kids and dogs here and run around and play, but they can't because of all of the trash. Now, DeAngelis and her mom planned to confront the township to clean the biohazards from the shoreline.

They also plan to organize their own trash pickup clearing out which items are safe to touch.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection said it's been notified of the photos of the medical waste in the Delaware River,

but cannot confirm where it came from or if there was an issue of dumping. So nobody knows where the medical waste in the Delaware River, but cannot confirm where it came

from or if there was an issue of dumping. So nobody knows where this medical waste came from. I think if you're going to dump syringe into the water, you should label what was in them, you know, just so people know. Gross. Did you want to start diving the area pressed? A full vial of blood. Oh, my God. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Okay. So, you know, when I hear hypodermics, I was saying, okay, maybe it's junkies or something like that.

But, yeah, why? blood like oh my god yeah really yeah okay so you know when i hear hypodermase i was saying okay maybe

it's junkies or something like that but yeah why would you be carrying around blood yeah that sounds

like medical waste for sure for sure yeah so as of now they don't know where it came from officials

in haverford township voted monday night to reinstate the bon air fire company after the department

agreed to accept

the resignation of a volunteer fireman. Last month, township officials learned that a volunteer

fireman tried to join the proud boys, an organization of Southern Poverty Law Center has

recognized as a hate group. Officials also learned the fireman went through part of the initiation

process before distancing himself from the group. The volunteer admitted this is, uh, admitted this to township officials, but the fire

company's board saw no reason to accept his resignation.
