How are you beating the heat? Know where to go in Orange and Woodbridge?

In Orange and Woodbridge police reported no unusual activity related to the heat. The Woodbridge Senior Center has been the designated cooling center. A call to the center revealed that the location was ‘pretty busy.’ The center is open 8:30 a.m. to 4: p.m. and residents looking for a place to cool off in the evening are advised to check with the police department for a designated evening location. High Plains Community Center and the Case Memorial Library are the designated cooling centers in Orange. Meryl Farber, director of the library, said it was difficult to determine how many people visited the library specifically for cooling down. However on Wednesday 360 individuals used the library. Farber said the library has a number of programs going on so it was a good place to ‘chill out.’ At High Plains Community Center Director of Human Services Carol Nardini said she was not keeping count either. “We always have people coming and going. There are always people here playing cards. I do know we did not transport anyone after 4 p.m.,” Nardini said.
