Today's riddle: What did the tractor say to the plow? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Health Benefit Costs Squeeze Camden County Schools, Driving ... (theretrospect.com) — Haddonfield school taxpayers are helping shoulder sharply rising employee health care costs, with district spending climbing from about $5 million to $7.5 million since 2020 while employee contributions rose more modestly. A $51.7 million budget, including special health care adjustments and banked cap, has so far preserved staffing and programs, even as neighboring Camden County districts cut positions, close schools, and raise levies to cope with similar pressures.
• Haddonfield Talks Radnor Field Plans, Enviro Commission Turf... (theretrospect.com) — Haddonfield officials are weighing a $1.3 million overhaul of the Radnor Avenue athletic complex, with neighbors pressing concerns about traffic, parking, and loss of green space near Wayne Avenue. At this week's commissioners' work session, leaders outlined next steps for public input and review, while also debating how the Environmental Commission should present its findings on artificial turf versus natural grass fields.
• Camden's Dining Scene Gets Its Due: 11 Restaurants Worth the Trip in 2026 (thesunpapers.com) — Haddonfield residents are losing a longtime staple, as Cacia's Bakery on Kings Highway has permanently closed after an initially announced vacation break. The closure comes amid a broader wave of South Jersey dining changes, while Camden's restaurant scene earns new statewide recognition and a popular Voorhees eatery prepares to expand into Lindenwold.
