Cliffside Park Jeep Drivers Foster Off-Road Connection CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. — The connection that bonds Jeep drivers isn’t one that Cliffside Park’s Vinny Marriner could quite explain. He likened it to that of motorcyclists: they’re a bit friendlier and more courteous to each other on the roads. But Marriner wanted to get to know area Jeep drivers outside of their cars, which is why he launched Bergen County Trail Raiders out of The Fireplace parking lot in Paramus in June. “It’s amazing what we can do just because we drive a jeep,” said Marriner, a special education teacher in Ridgefield. “It’s like a community vehicle.” The BCTR president h…

Holy Watermelon! Ridgewood's HealthBarn Grows Its First RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — After 11 years of trying to grow a watermelon at Abma's Farm in Wyckoff, HealthBarn's gardeners finally had some luck at the new Ridgewood location. Officials broke ground in May at the Irene Habernickel Family Park between the white barn and playscape and planted watermelon seedlings — among dozens of others — not knowing what to expect "Our guess was that given the history of the property being a horse farm, the soil rich in horse manure should be good for growing an edible garden," founder Stacey Antine told Daily Voice.
