Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Man arrested on drug charges in Little Egg Harbor Township (newportdispatch.com) — Barnegat's Crime Reduction Unit joined several agencies in a month-long investigation that led to the arrest of an Atlantic City man on multiple cocaine distribution and possession charges centered in Little Egg Harbor. Authorities say cooperative work across Ocean County jurisdictions produced additional narcotics-related counts, and the suspect is being held at the Ocean County Jail pending court proceedings.
• Dredge Pipeline Shifted to Mill Creek Channel (thesandpaper.net) — Boaters from Barnegat should know state crews are actively dredging channels in Barnegat Bay, including the Mill Creek area, to keep navigation safer and deeper. The work runs 24/7, with marked pipelines, no‑wake cautions, and possible temporary channel changes communicated to mariners.
• Recent Jersey Shore crashes highlight the importance of boat safety (shorelocalnews.com) — A deadly Memorial Day crash in Barnegat Bay that killed a Barnegat resident is being used by authorities to stress sober, safety-minded boating as the Shore heads into Labor Day weekend. Officials outline recent serious incidents, explain New Jersey's boating laws, and offer practical tips on life jackets, speed, weather, and designated sober operators to keep local families safe on the water.
