📰 News we're reading
• Trible's Take: Saturday Battle at the Beach edition (thedailyjournal.com) — Cedar Grove High School’s football team made another strong showing at Ocean City’s Battle at the Beach, beating Gloucester 35–14 and proudly representing the North Jersey town. The long‑running Week Zero showcase has grown into a major South Jersey and statewide fundraiser, drawing thousands of fans, top programs, and repeat participants like Cedar Grove that treat it as both a business trip and a family-style getaway. 
• Federal judge keeps Libertarian off NJ-7 ballot, while saying the state wronged her (newjerseyglobe.com) — Cedar Grove’s Republican Assemblyman Al Barlas played a visible role in a high-stakes federal case over whether a Libertarian candidate could stay on the NJ-7 congressional ballot. A judge ultimately kept her off, sharply criticizing how New Jersey election officials quietly stopped enforcing a petition law, a move that could affect trust in statewide election administration that Cedar Grove voters rely on.
