Today's riddle: Why did the man leave his watch in the bank? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Pit Bull That Attacked Woodbridge Woman Was Being Walked By A Child (patch.com) — A woman in Woodbridge's Colonia section was seriously bitten on her face and hands after a newly adopted pit bull broke free from a child walking it on Temple Way. Woodbridge Police and Animal Control responded, placing the dog in a mandatory 10-day quarantine that will end Friday, after which the Newark shelter will decide its fate. The report also recalls previous deadly pit bull attacks involving Woodbridge families, underscoring ongoing local concern about dangerous dog incidents.
• Coughlin names Dan Harris to lead Assembly Majority Office (newjerseyglobe.com) — Woodbridge residents may want to watch Daniel Harris, a township councilman and former school board member, who's now been tapped to run the powerful Assembly Majority Office in Trenton. The story also highlights rising local figure Stephan Lally, a Woodbridge school board member, as he steps into a top caucus role while both continue influencing township politics.
• Colonia 'Ms. Veteran America' Finalist Promotes the Plight of NJ Homeless Women Veterans (tapinto.net) — A Colonia Army veteran now living in Woodbridge is a finalist for the national Ms. Veteran America competition and is using the spotlight to advocate for homeless women veterans in New Jersey. She's partnering with local businesses, including a September fundraiser at Club Pilates Woodbridge, to support Final Salute Inc. and raise awareness of housing and childcare needs facing women who served.
