30 - Sun - Mc Greevey dishes the dirt?...Can this radio save your life?... Eminent Domain... Organ concert at Crescent today...

*
NOTE: Festival of French Organ Music this afternoon, 3:00 PM, Crescent Avenue
Presbyterian Church. Five organists give the church's new organ a workout.

MIA: The state is cracking down on unused grants. Story in Ledger print edition
details open space grants reclaimed by the state as unused. Thankfully, Plainfield
is NOT on the list. The bad news? The state's budget pressures are likely to mean
'use it or lose it' as a policy is here to stay.

It's nice outdoors. Go outside and play.


PLAINFIELD_________________________________________________________________________________

Plainfield Today: "Can this radio save your life?"

MIA: The Ledger print edition has a story on the death of 17-year-old Sergio Suarez,
making him Plainfield's fourth murder victim of 2006. If the Ledger doesn't post it, I'll
see if I can type it up and post it later. -- Dan
