Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Shore towns begin repairs after weekend nor'easter (starnewsgroup.com) — Point Pleasant Borough and Point Pleasant Beach came through last weekend's nor'easter with mostly minor flooding, scattered power outages, and downed trees, while nearby Bay Head saw heavier dune damage. Local officials describe how public works and emergency crews managed closures, cleared debris, and restored electricity, and note that full damage assessments and potential funding needs are still being evaluated along the Shore.
• Chargers Boys Varsity Soccer Falls to Undefeated Point Pleasant Beach (TAPinto.net) — Point Pleasant Beach High School's boys soccer team protected its undefeated record at home, rallying past Spotswood for a 5–2 win after trailing early. The Gulls answered a first-half deficit, then pulled away with three second-half goals, while Spotswood now turns its focus to hosting New Brunswick in an in-season tournament matchup.
• Point Beach residents hear update on Channel Drive redesign (starnewsgroup.com) — Channel Drive in neighboring Point Pleasant Beach is slated for a scaled-back but still major safety-focused redesign, with new sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps, and traffic improvements that matter to Point Pleasant residents who use the busy corridor. Officials cut decorative features to trim costs, are reapplying for an expired grant, and have not yet set a construction start or completion date.
