*Letter: The Robots Are Coming. Are We Ready for the Shailos?* It sounds like science fiction. It isn’t anymore. Just last week, Tesla announced that production of its Optimus humanoid robot has begun at its Fremont, California factory, describing the units now rolling off the line as its first production-quality robots. Another company is already taking orders for a $20,000 robot it says will fold your laundry, organize your shelves, and tidy your home, with the first US deliveries expected in the coming months. And a third recently unveiled a robot designed from the ground up for one place in particular: your home. Lakewood got a small taste of this years ago, when a local restaurant made headlines using robot servers. But what is coming now is something else entirely. Within a few years, a robot in the house may be as normal as a dishwasher. *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/letter-the-robots-are-coming-are-we-ready-for-the-shailos/

*Jackson Council To Hold Public Hearing, Vote On Ordinance Restricting Large Warehouses* The Jackson Township Council is set to vote next week on an ordinance that would place new restrictions on large warehouses in the township. Under the ordinance, warehouses, distribution centers and fulfillment centers under 50,000 square feet would remain permitted uses in the township’s commercial and industrial zones, while warehouses 50,000 square feet or greater would become conditional uses, subject to new standards covering lot size, buffering, noise, emissions, light and traffic. According to the ordinance, the changes follow the township’s 2025 Master Plan, which seeks to encourage warehousing and light industrial development near highways “in a way that does not encroach into existing residential neighborhoods,” while mitigating the impacts of large warehouse users. *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/jackson-council-to-hold-public-hearing-vote-on-ordinance-restricting-large-warehouses/

*PHOTO: Jackson Campaign Signs Defaced With Israeli Flag Stickers* Numerous campaign signs for Jackson’s Republican ticket have been defaced with Israeli flag stickers in recent days, TLS has learned, an act people connected to the campaign decry as clearly antisemitic as the township’s contentious election race enters its final stretch. Dozens of signs for Mayor Jennifer Kuhn and Township Council candidates Brian McCarron and John “Pojo” Pejoski – including along Bowman Road and Grand Boulevard – have been hit with the stickers, according to reports received by TLS. A photograph of one of the vandalized signs shows an Israeli flag sticker affixed beside Kuhn’s name. “Hundreds of this ticket’s signs have been ripped down throughout Jackson in the past couple weeks,” a person connected to the campaign told TLS. “This is definitely more alarming and disturbing, as it is clearly meant in an antisemitic way. This is a local election – it has nothing to do with Israel.” *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/photo-jackson-campaign-signs-defaced-with-israeli-flag-stickers/

*FDA Warns: Do Not Eat Cold Smoked Sprats Sold By Haifa Smoked Fish (Kosher)* The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to eat, sell or serve any cold smoked sprats sold by Haifa Smoked Fish, Inc. due to potential Clostridium botulinum contamination. The warning covers all lots of cold smoked sprats sold by D&M Smoked Fish Inc., doing business as Haifa Smoked Fish, Inc. of Jamaica, New York. The product is sold in bulk cardboard boxes and shipped refrigerated, and may be frozen for up to one year. The FDA said it may have been sold at restaurants and grocery store seafood counters with or without a label. The sprats were sold to retailers, restaurants, wholesalers and food service customers in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, and may have been distributed further. According to the FDA, an inspection found the company was producing the sprats without the required food safety controls to prevent botulism growth and toxin formation. The agency recommended the company recall all cold smoked sprats currently on the market, but the company has declined. *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/fda-warns-do-not-eat-cold-smoked-sprats-sold-by-haifa-smoked-fish-kosher/
