Somerset Hills schools closed Tuesday. All districts to vote at Bernards High, which also remains open as a regional shelter.
Bernardsville Mayor Lee Honecker said the downtown section of the borough, including the Bernardsville Public Library, has power back on as of Monday, and the numbers are expected to climb for the next few days. However, no Somerset schools had power back as on Monday, and school will remain closed on Tuesday, said Bernardsville Police Chief Kevin Valentine.

Honecker says suggestion came from unsolicited report by recreation committee.
Bernardsville Mayor Lee Honecker on Wednesday night assured the Somerset Hills Board of Education that the municipality has no intention of charging the school district to use the turf field at the borough property known as the polo grounds. Honecker said that the borough's recreation committee brought up the idea of renting out the field during a Borough Council meeting, but that that the municipality has no intention of charging rent to the school district.

"We really appreciate that," School Board President Donna Coons said following Honecker's remarks. She said she hoped that…
