Ramsey Officials Consider Culling Deer Ramsey Officials Consider Culling Deer Ramsey Officials Consider Culling Deer
Ramsey Officials Consider Culling Deer RAMSEY, N.J. — A growing population of local deer could prompt officials to pursue the borough's first culling program within the next two years, northjersey.com reported.

Humane alternatives to hunting and culling — such as deer birth control — have appeared uneconomical and ineffective, according to officials. "Culling is the only viable way to control the population," Borough Mayor Deirdre Dillon …

Wayne Residents Urge Neighbors To Vote For Full-Day Kindergarten WAYNE, N.J. — Township resident Katie Scheidt pays $300 a month to send her daughter to enrichment programs three days a week before afternoon kindergarten.

"Hopefully, by the time my son goes to kindergarten in a few years, it'll be full-time," Scheidt said. Wayne remains the only municipality of the 14 in Passaic County that’s still without a full-day kindergarten program. Parents who h…
