Plainfield Council Balks at Rushmore Pool Fees, Citing Affordability Fears

Plainfield City Hall Annex — Approximate Daily-Pass Prepayment Site. A proposal to start charging admission at Plainfield's year-old Rushmore Aquatic Complex collapsed this week when a city council motion to introduce the fee ordinance failed to get a second. The vote, or lack of one, means the pool — which drew roughly 2,800 users this year according to city officials — remains free to enter for now, even as the municipality faces warnings about rising costs elsewhere in its budget.

Madison blanks Pompton Lakes for second straight field hockey title

POMPTON LAKES − Madison needed less than 60 minutes to accomplish what 19 other teams failed to do over Pompton Lakes' first 23 games of the season. Fueled by two first-half goals from sophomore Summer Graziano and a dominant defense performance, the Dodgers shut out Pompton Lakes, 4-0 in the North, Group 1 final on Nov. 11 at Lakeside Middle School, repeating as sectional champions and securing the 18th sectional crown in program history. The result was even more impressive considering Pompton Lakes (19-3-2) had allowed just four goals all season entering the championship match. Madison (18-6) matched that total in a single afternoon while becoming just the third team to shut out the Cardinals this fall. “It was so important for us to get those early goals. It’s a big win for us, especially coming back from the hard loss in the [Morris] county final,” Graziano said. “It’s big for our team and our seniors who really want to go all the way. Now we get to continue to play in the states, which is a lot of fun.” Graziano put Madison in front with 4:45 remaining in the first quarter, then struck again just over four minutes into
