Finances, Bullying Reports Discussed By Central
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY â Financial issues and the districtâs Violence and Vandalism Report were discussed by officials at the last Central Regional Board of Education meeting.

âPhotos by Chris Lundy The Trestle and its surrounding pathways and wooded areas have been a hangout for generations, but police response and resident concern has mired some of the memories of the area. By Chris Lundy and Catherine Galioto BERKELEY â The Cedar Creek separating Berkeley and Lacey township hides a landmark that generations have jumped off of for fun â the Trestle.

In between, there is an unpaved road and a parallel footpath that reach beyond the signs for at least half a mile.
