Paramus' Youngest CrossFitter Is Probably Stronger Than You Are
PARAMUS, N.J. — Liam Jones of Paramus asked Santa Claus for an Olympic barbell last Christmas. When it came, the pajama-clad 10-year-old picked it up and did a clean-and-jerk ... with perfect form. It's a move he mastered at Great White CrossFit in Hackensack, where he's been going with his parents, Sean and Stacey Jones, for two years. "It's not easy, but it's not something kids shouldn't be doing," said Liam, who goes to Ridge Ranch Elementary School. He has competed in two youth Olympic lifting competitions, one in which he placed second. He placed 15th out of 70 kids in an o…

Hackensack Boxer Who Escaped Poverty Eyes World Title
HACKENSACK, N.J. — Beads of sweat pour off of Jonathan Maicelo's face and onto the ring of Hackensack's Hammer Hands gym. The Peruvian fighter is 30 seconds into the second portion of the day's training, and he went for a two-hour run first thing in the morning. Maicelo, 33 of Jersey City, has five pounds to lose before his lightweight bout on Friday in Texas against Jose Felix, Jr. If Maicelo wins, he'll be ranked third in his weight class by the World Boxing Organization.

TENAFLY, N.J. — The owner of a Tenafly pet rescue operation has been quietly buying puppies from a puppy store owner from Emerson and then selling them for profit, a group of advocates alleges.

The group provided a photo of a $1,950 check that members say Urman wrote to Delaware-based pet broker in …

Pictures Worth 1,000 Words For Young Bergen County Valentines
ALPINE, N.J. — Nicole Acito and Eric Vigna had no interest in hibernating through last week's blizzard — instead, they headed to Alpine. The couple had memories to make, and pictures to take, which they've since added to their collection of thousands chronicling their two-year relationship. Acito of Oakland and Vigna of New Milford are celebrating their second Valentine's Day together, and they say each photograph they took alongside each other tells its own story. Altogether, the shots play an integral role in their relationship. "All of the photos show how far we've come as a coupl…

TEANECK, N.J. — Miriam Dubinsky of Clifton is hoping mothers of all walks of life will relate to her Teaneck photography exhibit. “Motherhood Connection” features a selection of photographs of families in Bergen and Essex counties on display at the Teaneck Public Library through the end of the month. “The focus of the exhibit is to capture the connection of mothers with their children,” said Dubinsky, a mother of nine who gave birth to a baby girl over the summer. “From what clients have told me, nobody thinks that they’re perfect but at the same time, everyone thinks motherhood is beautif…

Baller Move: Fair Lawn Athlete's 1,000th Point Testament To Hard Work
FAIR LAWN, N.J. — One point made all the difference this week to Fair Lawn basketball player Nancy Ruf. That's all the junior Cutter needed to reach the 1,000th point of her high school career, ever since last week's loss to Mahwah (44-26). Ruf's mega-moment came in the first quarter of Monday's winning game against Tenafly (64-34) — and it seems it took more patience than skill to get it. "It's all I can think about," the athlete told Daily Voice before a game in late January. "But I don't want to force it." Ruf averaged 350 points per season her freshman and sophomor…

Six-Alarm Fire Reignites Edgewater's AvalonBay Debate
EDGEWATER, N.J. — A six-alarm fire that destroyed part of a Maplewood apartment complex is reigniting debate on the recently-approved Edgewater AvalonBay apartment complex that's burned down twice before. The Maplewood complex, which went up in flames on Feb. 4, is made from the same lightweight, wood-framing that will soon make up the Edgewater building. The Edgewater Zoning Board recently approved AvalonBay to rebuild the twice-destroyed Edgewater Apartment complex – again using the same lightweight wood-frame construction — and has been deemed unsafe by building experts. This time, adde…

Little Ferry Schools Enforce Sick Day Policy After Widespread Outbreak
LITTLE FERRY, N.J. — The Little Ferry school district will enforce a strict policy on sick days beginning Monday, after Superintendent Frank R. Scarafile closed schools last week for disinfecting purposes. Last week, a "staggering" 14 percent of students stayed home with the flu and flu-like symptoms, and 10 were sent home each day, Scarafile said. "This is due in part to parents sending in their children when they display symptoms or the children are sent back to school the day after being sent home," Scarafile said. "If your child is sent home from school with a …
