SENIOR GOLF CHAMPS IN MAPLEWOOD

Give the Maplewood Country Club some credit for landing the state senior golf championship this week.


If you pass by and see the seniors, give 'em some support. But if they are teeing off or putting...shhhh.

THE VERY ABLE BAKER



Checked out Able Baker Julie's new digs at 187 Maplewood Ave. near Baker Street.


Glad to report the goodies she made famous at the former Kari's Cafe are even better at the new Maplewood Village spot.


Give it a try!



WATER MAIN BREAK SHUTS PART OF BOYDEN

This just emailed from the township:


A water main break on Boyden Avenue in front of Fire Station No. 2 has forced the closure of Boyden Ave from Springfield Ave to Elmwood Avenue except for vehicles entering Boyden Ave from Springfield Ave going towards Elmwood Ave.  No time has been set to reopen that portion of Boyden Ave.
