Powerlifting Fort Lee Instructor Teaches As He Trains
FORT LEE, N.J. — Former college football player Chris Della Fave has long found comfort in knowing that his teammates would have his back if he messed up on the field.

Woodcliff Lake Borough Council Plans Park If Property Owner Cleans Up Site
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. — A recreational park will be constructed on Woodcliff Avenue if the current owners of Galaxy Gardens clean up the 2.3-acre property and sell it to the borough, officials said. Based on the project’s Phase II results, it will take an estimated $1 million for the owners of Galaxy Gardens to remove carcinogens from the property, Council President Carlos Rendo said. “The current land owners have to provide us with clean land,” Rendo said. “Nobody is going to purchase land that’s contaminated, and that’s where negotiations come in.” The council this summer commissioned Tru…

Bergenfield Gas Attendant Pumps On Labor Day
BERGENFIELD, N.J. — Borough gas attendant Mohammad Baksh can't stand this heat, but he didn't mind working Labor Day. Having a paid gig has always been important to the 29-year-old Dumont resident: When he was very young, his South American parents made him work for what he wanted. "A lot of kids live under their parents' rules and their parents pay for everything," he said. "That renders them lazy. "They think a job is a job and if they get fired they'll just find another one," Baksch said this afternoon, during an eight-hour shift at the BP Station at the corner …

Ridgewood Doughnut Shop Shuts Its Doors
NEW MILFORD, N.J. — Glaze Doughnuts has shut its doors after five months in Ridgewood. The store was not generating enough business and owner Jule Hazou says it could have done better if it had a parking lot. The New Milford shop will remain open and Hazou plans to open four more Glaze Donut stores in 2016, starting in Wayne. “Doughnuts are more Americana than apple pie,” said Hazou, of Paramus. “I can’t imagine a family without them.” While Hazou might be the doughnut king, a gluten intolerance keeps him from eating them. "Just because I can't eat them doesn't mean other people can…
