A Newark man has pleaded guilty to one count of third degree animal cruelty after he kicked a small dog in the face, causing its eye to pop out.

The dog's eyeball popped out as a result of the kick and had to be removed. Both the sister and the girlfriend were living with Hall at the time of the incident. Hall also pleaded guilty to animal cruelty for striking his girlfriend's dog in the head on Sept. 22, 2011, causing the animal head trauma.

Maplewood's Memorial Day parade was a giant red, white and blue patchwork of community.
Maplewood celebrated Memorial Day with a procession of red, white and blue saluting neighbors lining the sidewalks in our own version of Main Street, USA. With the Columbia High School marching band leading the way, a virtual who’s who of Maplewood (and South Orange) paraded early Monday — scouts and schools, politicians and performers, the lifesavers and lifelong learners who make up this patchwork of community. “As I look out at this great crowd, I am a proud American and a proud Maplewoodian,” said Maplewood Mayor Victor De Luca. “Our community represents what is right about America ... Our ability to live together in unity and harmony exemplifies the very ideals of freedom and peace, which the nation’s fallen heroes fought and died for…

Seventh graders in South Orange and Maplewood are learning about feature writing. But that's not all. They're also using technology to hone their writing skills, and then publishing their work on line. English Language Arts Supervisor Gary Pankiewicz said the recently revised English Language Arts curriculum calls for seventh-grade students to use Moodle software to develop feature articles and publish them on a private on-line site. Although Moodle offers about 20 different types of activities, the main activity helps students learn to sequence and group their work to build on outcomes of previous lessons. Recently, Eve Kingsbury, a Maplewood Middle School English Language Arts teacher, held a “publishing party” in her class where her …
