Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Middlesex Police Issue Warning Over Fire Department Activity (patch.com) — Middlesex residents were asked by borough police to avoid the busy intersection of Cedar Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard on Friday due to unspecified fire department activity. The advisory, issued late Friday morning, warned motorists and pedestrians away from the area but offered no details on the incident or when the intersection would reopen, underscoring an active situation in town.
• Swatting threats target New Jersey schools in Howell, Middlesex (wobm.com) — Middlesex High School went into lockdown Wednesday after a threatening phone call and additional calls to staff, part of a wave of non-credible swatting threats that also hit Howell and Wall Township schools. Police responded within minutes, secured the building, and later confirmed there was no active danger, but the incident underscores how seriously New Jersey treats swatting, with stiff prison terms and fines.
• Savannah Tuma Scores Hat Trick in Chargers Girls Soccer Victory over Highland Park (TAPinto.net) — Middlesex High School's girls soccer team heads to Spotswood on Tuesday for a 4 p.m. Senior Day matchup against the Chargers, who just rolled past Highland Park 6–1 behind a hat trick from Savannah Tuma. Middlesex brings a strong 9-2-2 record into this out-of-division test, where Spotswood will also honor seven seniors before kickoff.
