Today's riddle: What did the bartender say to the jumper cables when they walked in? 🤔 (Answer below!)

• Oaklyn Families That Paid Collingswood Activity Fees in Erro... (theretrospect.com) — Collingswood's new student activity fee system has accidentally charged some Oaklyn families, but district leaders say those payments will be refunded and emphasize that only Collingswood residents owe the fee.

(theretrospect.com) — A Collingswood native, 2015 Collingswood High graduate Lucas Rollins, helped Pitman secure its second straight Tri-County Men's Baseball League title with a dominant complete-game shutout in the opener.
