On this day in 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicated the Statue of Liberty on what was then called Bedloe's Island
The Jersey twist: the island sits just 2,000 feet off today's Liberty State Park, surrounded by Jersey City waters. An 1834 deal set the state line mid-harbor but let New York keep the island ๐ฝ

Did you tell someone to vote today New Jersey? @LyndaNJPatriot did!
So I have gotten at least 10 hunters to early vote this week before the deer rut begins! Now they can just hunt because their vote is in! This hunter was camera shy but was his first midterm election voting! They voted all Red in New Jersey!

What a hero! ๐ Ariana Leonardis, a student at Ocean County Vo-Tech's Brick Center, learned CPR in class on a Thursday
Two days later, out walking with her cousin in Tuckerton Saturday night, she heard a man yelling for help, asked the mom's permission and got a 3-week-old baby breathing again before EMS even got there.

Finally, some common sense. ๐ A new Senate bill, S4838 from Sen. Latham Tiver (Atlantic/Burlington), says nobody gets registered for NJ state or local elections until the county confirms they're a citizen, using MVC and federal DHS records. Why isn't this a thing already?
Counties would also audit the rolls twice a year, by April 1 & Sept. 1, and anyone flagged gets 30 days to prove it

How cool is this? A Morris Canal boat in Boonton around 1900, sitting in its cradle at the foot of an inclined plane, about to ride the rails right up the hill. The canal used 23 water-powered planes and 23 locks to haul coal boats across North Jersey, from Phillipsburg to Jersey City. It closed for good in 1924

Jeff Van Drew says the suspected drunk driver who hit Patrolman Austin Kapurelos during a traffic stop Friday night is in the country illegally and has an active ICE detainer! Wtf ๐คฌ
Lucio Lopez-Perez of Lower Township, is charged with DWI and assault by auto, among other offenses. Van Drew is calling on the Cape May County sheriff to turn him over to federal authorities, and Mayor Christopher Leusner says the detainer should be honored once the state is done with the case
The officer's father said: "If this man hadn't been here illegally, Austin would be sitting on the couch with his wife in their new home right now." Kapurelos was in critical but stable condition as of Saturday

Clementon Park & Splash World in South Jersey is closing after the 2026 season
The 119-year-old park (opened 1907) announced it made the โdifficult decisionโ to shut down after five seasons under current ownership and put the property up for sale. Last operating day was Sept. 7. Owners say they hope a buyer will keep the legacy going
End of an era for a lot of NJ/Philly families. Hope it finds a new home
