Today's riddle: Why do Norway's navy ships all have barcodes? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Lavallette turns to recovery after nor'easter (starnewsgroup.com) — Lavallette is cleaning up after this weekend's nor'easter, with beach erosion, sand-filled access paths, and some tidal flooding but no major road or infrastructure damage reported. Borough officials are still assessing beach impacts, while public works crews handle debris and sand removal. Residents can report cleanup concerns directly to the Lavallette Department of Public Works.
• A brighter beginning at Faith Lutheran's preschool (starnewsgroup.com) — Families in Lavallette will find Faith Lutheran Church's preschool freshly renovated for its 60th year, with new toys, reworked classrooms, and a brighter play yard. Congregation volunteers funded and completed about $25,000 in upgrades, emphasizing screen-free, play-based learning in a Christian setting. Church leaders hope the improvements and new outreach efforts will attract more local families and support future programs.
• State findings: Nor'easter causes major beach, dune erosion along 10 New Jersey beaches (news12.com) — Lavallette's beach is among 53 New Jersey shoreline sites where the state found minor erosion after the recent nor'easter, according to a new DEP assessment. While some towns suffered major dune and berm damage, Lavallette's issues are less severe but still on the state's radar. These findings will guide where officials focus future repair and protection efforts along the coast.
