Today's riddle: What gets bigger the more you take away? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Residents Urge Action Over Safety Concerns At Bernards Township Property (patch.com) — Neighbors in Basking Ridge are pressing Bernards Township officials to address what they describe as dangerous and unsanitary conditions at a home on Oak Ridge Road, citing fire hazards, noxious odors, and wildlife issues. Residents are asking the Township Committee to ensure it has strong, enforceable rules for problem residential properties, especially after officials recently adopted new maintenance standards that currently apply only to commercial sites.
• Basking Ridge Schools Update Cell Phone Rules: What Students and Parents Need to Know (tapinto.net) — Families in Basking Ridge should prepare for much stricter rules on student cell phones and other internet-enabled devices in Bernards Township schools starting in the 2026–27 year. Elementary, middle, and high school students will face different levels of restrictions, with most personal devices required to stay off and stored during the school day, though exceptions are available for health, learning plans, translation, caregiving, and emergencies.
