Strong Is Sexy For Hackensack Fitness Model
HACKENSACK, N.J. — There's a certain tenacity in Jelena Abbou's eyes as she sips her coffee in the Starbucks at Hackensack's Riverside Square Mall. The 39-year-old's taut body is clearly one that belongs to a champion -- in this case one who has defeated international fitness competitors, fierce hormonal battles and a tumultuous divorce. The years of strict dieting and early-morning cardio sessions are long gone for Abbou, who has since appeared in dozens of magazines, fitness campaigns and and advertisements. But she isn't ready to give it up completely. Instead, she's pairing her knowle…

Granola Bar Inspires Poetry For Cliffside Park Student
CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. — Julia Kotaev of Cliffside Park was eating a chocolate-and-pretzel granola bar when it came to her. “We’re so used to the regular taste of chocolate, and we’re so used to the regular person that we’ve been with for so long,” she said. “But why not be with someone else, someone new?” Kotaev whipped out her iPhone and began furiously typing what would become a poem. It joined dozens of others in a collection the 18-year-old St. John’s University-bound author published last month, “her naked mind.” The poems were written throughout Kotaev’s CPHS tenure. She wouldn't hav…

Miss Cliffside Park Sparkles On Soccer Field
CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. — Izabela Hasandjekic was already putting her sparkly earrings back on as she leapt across the Cliffside Park High School soccer field and into the back seat of her mother’s SUV. Usually, the 14-year-old rising sophomore has more than a 10-minute car ride to transform herself from a sweaty soccer player into a graceful pageant queen. But last Memorial Day, not even Miss Cliffside Park herself had a choice. Almost as if it was a scene straight of “The Princess Diaries,” Hasandjekic kicked off her cleats, twisted her hair into a braid and swung her sparkly sash over her s…

Fort Lee 'Brief Babe' Seeks 100,000th Diaper Donation
TENAFLY, N.J. — A Fort Lee caregiver is hoping that a July adult diaper drive in Tenafly will bring her 200 more packages to help her hit her 100,000th brief. Marlene Ceragno started the Adult Care Brief Bank in 2012 as an initiative to collect and distribute adult briefs to Bergen County senior citizens who cannot afford them. She saw the need for it while caring for her aunt who was showing signs of dementia, had outlived her money and had become incontinent. "I was able to get her on Meals On Wheels, use the Bergen County CHEER and CHORE programs," Ceragno said. "But whe…

Lyndhurst Mom Seeks Home For Rescued Alley Kittens
LYNDHURST, N.J. — Koriann Tuero of Lyndhurst is seeking homes for two kittens that her father-in-law found in a Union City alley Tuesday afternoon. Richard Tuero, Sr. was walking to his job at a local middle school when he noticed four kittens in the alley. One ran off, but Tuero scooped up the remaining three and put them in a trash can so they wouldn't do the same. Another passerby took home one of them, and Tuero called his daughter-in-law to help care for the other two. "They are so dirty and covered in urine," she told Daily Voice. "They haven't touched their food.&quo…

Judges, Owners Agree Bogota Bordeauxs Are Best
BOGOTA, N.J. — Humphrey and Scarlett's red, wrinkly faces are certainly unmistakable around Bogota. Maybe you saw them wrestling on their lawn, or on a brisk, two-mile walk in Overpeck Park with their owners, Lizka and Jose Baez. Most likely, though, you know the pair of Dogues de Bordeaux from its record-breaking win at Westminster Kennel Club's best-of-breed competition earlier this year. "How can you not fall in love with them?" said Lizka Baez of her 2-year-old dogs. "They're the best." The Westminster Kennel Club thinks so, too. Scarlett and Humphrey were the fi…
