• Rabid Skunk In Clark Came In Contact With 2 Dogs (patch.com) — Clark residents are being urged to stay vigilant after a skunk on Prospect Street tested positive for rabies following direct contact with two dogs. Local officials advise residents to avoid animals acting strangely, report them to Clark police or the Health Department, and seek prompt medical care for any bites or scratches, while keeping pets' rabies vaccinations up to date.
• Clark Emergency Squad Gets New Ambulance To Boost Backup Response (patch.com) — Clark's Volunteer Emergency Squad has added a new 2026 Braun Chief XL ambulance, funded with support from the township, to strengthen local emergency response. Mayor Angel Albanese and the Township Council say the vehicle will improve backup coverage and allow better rotation of ambulances so Clark residents have more reliable help during emergencies.
• N.J. town known for controversy in hot water again over jet ski trip. Mayor is unbothered. (nj.com subscription) — Clark residents are questioning whether a top town official improperly used a marked fire command SUV to tow a jet ski to Ship Bottom over the July Fourth weekend, while the mayor insists nothing was out of line. Critics say the lack of written investigation records and the town's own vehicle-use policy raise fresh transparency and accountability concerns in a community already scarred by past misuse-of-resources scandals.
