As the formula shortage worsens, parents and caregivers find themselves in emergency situations where they cannot find baby formula. Shortages have caused parents and caregivers to search for other options to feed their babies. Unknowingly, some of the options may put their baby’s health at serious risk.
The NJ Poison Control Center warns families of the misinformation circulating online and on social media claiming it is safe to dilute (watered-down) formula or use homemade/Do-It-Yourself (DIY) recipes as alternatives. Neither of these options are safe alternatives, and both can result in serious harm to infants.
Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that the City of Bayonne, in conjunction with the Bayonne Memorial Day Parade Committee, have organized the return of the Bayonne Memorial Day Parade, on Monday, May 30, 2022. The parade has not taken place since 2019, due to concerns about the Coronavirus in 2020 and 2021.
Mayor Davis explained, “The parade has been a Bayonne tradition since 1918. We call upon the patriotic residents of Bayonne to turn out for the parade’s return on Monday, May 30. We look forward to seeing people out on Broadway again for this parade.â€
Pete Amadeo, Supervisor of the Bayonne Recreation Division, has been working on the parade with the veterans on the Bayonne Memorial Day Parade Committee. Barry Jones, an Army veteran, chairs the Memorial Day Parade Committee. Michael Wilson, a Navy veteran, will be the Grand Marshal of the 2022 parade.
The parade will assemble at 9:00 a.m. on East 5th Street between Broadway and Isabella Avenue, and will commence at 10:00 a.m. There will be a brief ceremony at the start of the parade to honor our deceased veterans and to place a wreath at the World War I Memorial. The parade will proceed north along Broadway and will then pass a reviewing stand setup in front of American Legion Post 19 and will end at 32nd Street and Broadway.
For more information, please contact Pete Amadeo at 201-858-6129 or email BAYONNEMEMORIALDAYPARADE@BAYNJ.ORG. If any group or organization is interested in marching, please contact Pete immediately.
We would all like to believe our ancestors are smiling down at us.  We want to think that if they could see us, they’d beam with approval.  In the fantasy, they’d radiate nothing but warmth.  But if we could stand before them, what would we observe?  What marks would omniscience leave on their faces?  If they could watch us as we went about our lives — if they could peer into our private moments — would they really be so pleased?  And what about the parlous state of the world?  Would they not be weary of all the deleterious matters and cruel inequities that obstruct their guidance and protection?
Heather Williams has thought about all of this, and she’s been brutally honest about it. Her “Protective Spirits†are formidable, and sincere, but they’re also tired of the nonsense. The weight of history is heavy on their faces: it drags down their eyelids, furrows their brows, and tears at their terra-cotta cheeks. Williams’s visages will stare out from the walls of the Bridge Gallery (199 Broadway, Bayonne) until mid-July. Standing before one of them is a bit like facing a stern but loving auntie after you’ve screwed up. Facing an entire roomful, as you do at “Protective Spirits,†might just prompt you to reevaluate some of your dodgier decisions in order to get right with the ancestors.

Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that the Bayonne Food Truck Festival that was originally scheduled for Saturday, May 7, has been moved to Saturday, May 14, due to the rainy weather that has been predicted for May 7.
The hours and location of the food truck festival will remain the same: from 12:00 noon to 7:00 p.m. on Avenue E in Bayonne, between 22nd Street and 24th Street. Only the date has been changed to Saturday, May 14. Please adjust your calendars.
The Hoboken Historical Museum at 1301 Hudson Street announces a new exhibit by Hoboken master painter Lou Carbone on Saturday, May 7, with an opening reception with the artist from 2 – 5pm. “COVID” consists of 25 16 x 20 acrylic paintings Lou did under quarantine. Lou Carbone’s “COVID” in the Museum’s Upper Gallery runs from Saturday, May 7 until Sunday, July 3. To see more of Lou’s work, click here.
With diverse influences that include cubism, surrealism and the Mexican muralists, Lou’s paintings are a series of pictorial spaces borne of personal experience as filtered through dreams and illusions. The images of anonymous figures in common settings depict ritual happening combined with feelings of sexual tension that are woven with a quiet elegant motion.
Each canvas is a merging of fact and fantasy that opens a window to animated yet mysterious places. Many of the objects and figures are structured, ordered and linear yet they create elements that have references to the mystical and spiritual, using multiple perspective and intense color. Lou has developed an assortment of visual symbols in an effort to pare cultural traditions and rituals to their essence and intensify the relationships between his subjects. His tools may be color, line and composition but the imagery is formed through the visceral process of thought.
