Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. South Brunswick Woman, Sayreville Man Killed In NYC Subway Incident (patch.com) — South Brunswick readers are learning more about 24-year-old Malaika Chitre of Dayton, who was killed alongside a Sayreville friend when a southbound 4 train struck them at Manhattan's Spring Street station early Sunday. Police say the pair were on the tracks for unknown reasons as the investigation continues, while local ties emerge through Chitre's South Brunswick High School background and recent academic and professional achievements.
2. South Brunswick schools warn parents about email scam (nj1015.com) — South Brunswick parents are being warned about scam emails that pretend to come from district staff and ask for money, gift cards or personal information. The school district stresses it will not send unsolicited messages requesting funds or financial details this way, and urges families to avoid clicking links and instead report suspicious emails directly to their child's school or the superintendent's office.
3. MERGE: Battle at Ocean County Park Girls 2026 (milesplit.com) — South Brunswick's girls cross-country team turned heads at Ocean County Park, edging Ridge in the 5K merge behind standout senior Ovi Telavane's 17:55 run. With several teammates also posting strong times, the Vikings look poised for a powerful season against top New Jersey competition.
4. Advocates call for NJ data center ban after diesel spill into creek (njherald.com) — A new transparency bill for data centers was signed at the South Brunswick Public Library, just as climate advocates push for a statewide moratorium after a major diesel spill from a Secaucus data center fouled a nearby creek. The piece explains growing concern over data centers' water and power use, and how many New Jersey towns are already blocking new facilities.
