Old Tappan Farm Announces Opening Day OLD TAPPAN, N.J. — If he were alive today, Isaiah Stokes would be proud that his farm is among the 9,000 that have withstood the test of time in New Jersey. His great-great-great-great-grandson Ron Binaghi, Jr. and his wife, Jeanine Binaghi, take pride in developing all 17 acres on Stokes Farm in Old Tappan. The Binaghis would be millionaires if they sell the property, but they know that without it, they'd have nothing. “We’re still in business because we really love what we do,” said Binaghi, pointing to the thousands of farms that have closed down in the last century “People think we’re…

Hot Dog!

Demarest's Holy Angels' Lacrosse Player Draws For Service Dogs DEMAREST, N.J. — Holy Angel’s junior Devin Toolen has heard the stories. The Midland Park lacrosse player knows about 8-year-old Lindsay, whose therapy dog alerted her parents right before she had a seizure. Toolen, 16, has seen how companion animals facilitate basic tasks for people with cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy — making their days a little easier, and that much brighter. But Toolen doesn't want to hear the stories. She wants to be a part of them. The 16-year-old athlete has raised upwards of $1,000 since her first 2008 bake sale for Mickey’s Kids Foundation and on April 6, …
Young Ridgewood Actor Grapples With Moral Ambiguity Onstage Young Ridgewood Actor Grapples With Moral Ambiguity Onstage Young Ridgewood Actor Grapples With Moral Ambiguity Onstage
Young Ridgewood Actor Grapples With Moral Ambiguity Onstage RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — No one taught Ridgewood’s Daniil Krimer how to play a scene asking for forgiveness from a rape that his character doesn’t remember. "How do you behave in a situation like that?" the 24-year-old Montclair State University graduate said. "And how do you make the audience believe it?" Krimer, as Davis, had no blueprint. He went in cold. He went in alone. It's a perfect reflection of the message he aims to send audiences in the Actors Equity Association Basic Showcase Code’s (Pending) production of “Really Really" on April 26. Today's youth — a gener…

Psychic 'Speaks From The Spirit' At Totowa Library TOTOWA, N.J. — Roe Rubinetti Cappiello was driving through a trestle on her regular commute to work one morning in 1999 when she was overcome by what felt like anxiety. It was someone else’s presence, she said, presumably the ghost of a young boy who’d fallen from a nearby tree and died years before. It was the first of several instances that Cappiello said awoke her ability to communicate with people who’ve passed on.  She now uses what she says are psychic abilities to help others connect with loved ones, and in October 2014 penned "Speaking from Spirit: Inspiring Stories and Messag…
