A crush of drivers anxiously waiting to fill their gas tanks plugged up traffic on Bloomfield Avenue Thursday, shortly after a gas tanker made a fresh delivery. Just before 2 p.m., droves of people with red gas cans and cars on empty amassed at the Sunoco station on Bloomfield Avenue. The gas station, located near the Newark border, did not impose a limitation on gas purchases. Several Bloomfield police officers kept order and directed traffic along Bloomfield Avenue because of the influx of gas-getters. Besides a mess of downed trees, snapped power lines and widespread power outages, Hurricane Sandy left in her wake a serious gas shortage that could reportedly last a week. Earlier Thursday, people waited hours, ran out of gas and pushed …

Neighbors say a man being attacked in a street brawl Thursday night crashed through a plate glass window of a Bloomfield Avenue store.
A man was thrown through the plate glass window of the Market Fresh store on Thursday night, according to neighbors, after a bar brawl that broke out at Heartbreakers next door spilled out on to the street. “The incident happened in the street. A guy got pushed through the glass,” stated Heartbreakers manager Bob James at the bar on Friday. “I wasn’t working myself.

Some of this week's reports: From the Mouths of Babes: It's bad enough when someone breaks into a school. But Belleville police say someone not only did that—the perp stole an American flag and a bunch of kids' juice boxes. One has to wonder how much Hi-C even goes for on the black market. Not anything watered down. The good stuff. You Say Potato: Things Not To Do: Touch yourself inappropriately in public. Make unsolicited sexual remarks to people. Urinate on yourself.

The Bloomfield Police Benevolent Association Local #32 will hold its annual fundraising golf outing Aug. 2 to benefit local community organizations
Between his own gruesome car crash and the suicide of a fellow officer, Joe Corio felt compelled to follow his civic-minded instincts a decade ago. Ultimately, those events inspired the Annual Bloomfield Police Benevolent Association Local #32 Golf Outing, which marks its 10th year as a fundraising juggernaut Tuesday, Aug. 2, at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Hamburg. “In 2001, I was involved in a very bad accident,” said Corio, the PBA president and a Bloomfield cop the past 13 years. “I broke 20 bones in a car crash. The guys really came together and they raised money for my family, they bought my kids Christmas gifts. So I was thinking I wanted to do something to thank them. “That year in August, officer Randy Church committed suicide. …
