1. Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation helpful information

When is Organ Donation Awareness Month?

National Donate Life Month is April. Every day in April, people across the U.S. make a special effort to celebrate the tremendous generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, tissue, marrow, and blood donors and to encourage more Americans to follow their fine example. The celebration commemorates those who have received or continue to wait for life saving transplants and honors those who died while waiting.

Who can be a donor? People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what organs and tissue can be donated.

Does my religion support organ and tissue donation? Every major religion in the United States supports organ and tissue donation as one of the highest expressions of compassion and generosity.

Is there a cost to be an organ, eye and tissue donor? There is no cost to the donor's family or estate for donation. The donor family pays only for medical expenses before death and costs associated with funeral arrangements.

Does my social and/or financial status play any part in whether or not I will receive an organ if I ever need one? No. When you are on the transplant waiting list for a donor organ, what really counts is the severity of your illness, body size, tissue type, blood type and other important medical information.

Why should I register to be an organ and tissue donor? Organ and tissue transplants offer patients a new chance at healthy, productive, and normal lives and return them to their families, friends and communities. To learn more or to register to become an organ and tissue donor, visit www.NJSharingNetwork.org. Also contact your attorney to have a Living Will/ Advance Directive prepared

3. Recent case Suppression granted where police ignore knock and announce State v Caronna

The court held that the exclusionary rule applies where police violate Article I, Paragraph 7 of the New Jersey Constitution by unreasonably and unjustifiably ignoring a search warrant requirement that they knock and announce their presence before entering a dwelling. Doing so deters police from flagrantly violating knock-and-announce search warrant requirements; safeguards against unconstitutional, unreasonable, and illegal search and seizures under New Jersey law; and, importantly, upholds the rule of law and integrity of our administration of justice.

Mission of the Edison Pool

Aligned with the values and beliefs of the Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks, Edison Elks Pool “EEP” will strive to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for everyone to enjoy in the spirit of community and summer fun. We believe in giving back to our community, supporting the growth of our youth, respect for those who serve, support for those in need and assisting those with handicaps.

The Edison Elks Pool is one of the oldest operating pools in the nation. It has been passed down by generations of the community of Edison. Many of Edison’s older residents remember it as Washington Swim Club where they would bring their families and enjoy the pool and large shady grove to BBQ in on weekends. They would also attend some of the many BBQ’s and Live music the Elks opens up to their guests. Today the pool is managed by a handful volunteers from the Edison Elks Lodge 2487 and their families to continue the spirit of community.

Edison Pool Facts

The pool holds almost 300,000 gallons of water. The deepest end of the pool is 12’ while the shallowest part is 3’. There is (4) 25yrd swim lanes from 12’ to 5’ deep. On each side of the swim lanes there is shallow section sloping from 5’ to 3’ deep. There are life jackets available. The pool is equipped with lounge chairs, but everyone is free to bring their own comfortable accommodations. The pool house offers a place to change and shower.

The Edison Elks are once again pleased to co-sponsor the Edison Community Pool, located on Old Post Road in Edison. They look forward to serving the Edison Community and surrounding areas this summer.

The Metuchen YMCA stopped helping the Edison Community Pool. To join the nonprofit pool, you need to join the Elks or Elks Auxiliary or be a member of one of the other groups. I have enjoyed my Community Elks membership in the Edison Elks for 30 years.

The Edison Community Pool located on Old Post Road in South Edison is surrounded by a wooded picnic area. The facility boasts a 25-yard, 4-lane pool, water slide and a kiddie pool for youngsters.

The Swim team competes against area pools.

Bathrooms with showers are conveniently located around the pool area. A playground make this swim club a place for family fun.’
