Today's riddle: Knock-knock! Who’s there? Irish. Irish who? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Eight-run fourth allows Nutley to cruise past Verona (nj.com subscription) — Nutley’s softball team topped Verona 11-1 on Verona’s home field, breaking open a close game with an eight-run fourth inning. Verona’s offense was limited, though Nina Maglifiore collected two hits as the team fell to 5-12 on the season.
• VFD Aids Belleville Warehouse Fire Response (myveronanj.com) — Verona’s volunteer firefighters spent about nine hours helping battle an 11-alarm warehouse fire in nearby Belleville, sending an engine as part of a large mutual-aid response. While Belleville schools closed over smoke concerns, the story also explains how Verona’s all-volunteer department operates and assists neighboring towns, and points residents to information on getting involved with the VFD.
• Sherrill To Local Governments: Share Services, Get State Help (myveronanj.com) — Verona officials are eyeing a $300,000 LEAP grant with Cedar Grove, Little Falls, and Woodland Park to stabilize the Packman River banks, just as Gov. Mikie Sherrill proposes boosting funding for shared-services grants statewide. Her budget would flat-fund general municipal aid but increase LEAP money by 50%, encouraging towns like Verona to share services to ease rising property tax pressures.
