• Repairs may be finished 'within a week' on Ridgewood High School field (northjersey.com) — Repairs to Ridgewood High School's Stadium Field, damaged by silt from the adjacent Ho-Ho-Kus Brook, could be finished within a week, potentially restoring key playing space for local teams. Until then, Ridgewood and nearby soccer programs are juggling schedules, borrowing village fields, and extending hours to keep games and practices on track. 
• This N.J. town has the hottest housing market in the state — homes sell in just 14 days (silive.com) — Ho-Ho-Kus is ranked among New Jersey's top 10 fastest-selling housing ZIP codes, signaling a very competitive local real estate market. Homes in the state overall are moving quickly, but North Jersey communities like Ho-Ho-Kus, Waldwick, and Ramsey are especially hot compared with slower-selling towns elsewhere.
