Trustees, Tracking, Tap Dance and The King

This week's big stories considered the pending legal action against the South Orange – Maplewood school district initiated by the local unit of the NAACP. The pending civil suit alleges discrimination in the district's "tracking" policy. We looked at the numbers to find out more.

It was a hot week, for sure, especially in the arts world. Tap came to SOPAC, and JerseyTapFest organizer taught your humble editor to dance.  We saw Elvis at SHU, and Ms. Marilyn and Mr. Gray rocked the younger set at the library.

The Trustees met and updated us on Beifus, among other business. And speaking of business, Ben Salmon told us what we'll be eating and drinking months down the road.

Our Village Gardener counsels patience with invaders, while Survival of the Fittest suggests how to identify the spies in our midst, now that our SO-linked spy has left the country.

We welcomed a and cheered on the softball team.

Finally, Nancy Janow shared her collection of CHS yearbooks with us. She welcomes additions to the collection, just as I welcome your comments and story ideas.

Have a great South Orange week!
