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.

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 …
