Today's riddle: What has 2 arms and a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Celebrate Labor Day in North Jersey with parades, fireworks, and more (mycentraljersey.com) — Clifton's postponed Independence Day fireworks are now set for Sept. 5 at Clifton Stadium on Piaget Avenue, with gates opening at 6 p.m. and patriotic music before the show. Residents can buy discounted advance tickets at City Hall, the Recreation Office, or online, and previously purchased tickets will be honored. A rain date is scheduled for Sept. 7.
• Hello? Don't forget NJ's new cell phone ban in schools this year (northjersey.com) — Clifton families should be ready for a strict bell-to-bell cell phone ban in city schools this year, extending through hallways, bathrooms, and lunch. Local leaders say students must keep phones and smartwatches off and put away, though medical and special-education exceptions apply, and Clifton High's barcode ID system helps avoid some lunch and sign-in hassles seen elsewhere.
• No Fourth Vote for Charter Study as Clifton Council Revisits Government Question (thecliftontimes.com) — Clifton residents will see no charter study of the city's government for now, after the council again fell one vote short of approving it at this week's meeting. Council members also moved toward tighter rules on work vans hogging residential parking, honored a 100-year-old Recreation volunteer, celebrated the Clifton Colts Blue 12U champions, and spotlighted ovarian cancer awareness.
