Sign up for Reserve Corps training Nutley Commissioner Steven Rogers announces that a training session for township residents interested in joining the Nutley Public Health Reserve Corps will be held Sunday, March 22, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Public Affairs building at 149 Chestnut St. Any Nutley residents who have previously signed up for the Reserve Corps but have not received training are urged to call 973-284-4976 to enroll. Existing members may want to consider attending
as a refresher course if it has been more than a year since their initial training.

How to opt out of online gambling The N.J. Division of Gaming Enforcement has announced that individuals who want to voluntarily self-exclude themselves from online gaming in New Jersey can do so from the division’s website: www.njdge. org. The Self-Exclusion Registration service is also accessible at https://www.njportal.com/DGE/selfexclusion. On the website, there is detailed information about the voluntary program. Once people agree to all the information presented, they will be asked a series of questions to verify their identity. They must also choose between a one-year and five-year self-exclusion term. Previously, individuals who wanted to sign up for the online self-exclusion list were required to create
an account on one of New Jersey’s authorized Internet gaming websites or apply in person at a Division of Gaming Enforcement office or a New Jersey racetrack. This new system permits citizens to sign up without having to travel or first go to an Internet gaming website. However, brick-andmortar casino self-exclusion registration still must be completed in person. “The Division of Gaming Enforcement has one of the most comprehensive responsible gaming programs in the country,” said Director David Rebuck. “We strive to be innovative and remain at the forefront of Internet gaming regulation while giving individuals options to play online responsibly, or opt out if that is the right choice for them.”
