Delectable Delights Off-Limits To Paramus Doughnut King
PARAMUS, N.J. — Borough resident Jule Hazou may be the king of doughnuts, but he can't eat them. Despite being the mastermind behind Glaze Donuts — an artisan doughnut shop in the borough — a gluten intolerance keeps him from consuming his creations. "Just because I can't eat them doesn't mean other people can't enjoy them," said Hazou, who was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in November 2014. "That's why I keep creating." Hazou grew up enjoying doughnuts every Sunday after church with his family. When he was old enough to drive, Hazou traveled around the tri-state area…

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. On the powerlifting platform, the Fort Lee High School teacher has only himself to fall back on. “In football if you miss a block the team can still score,” said Della Fave, who placed first in his weight class at his first national competition in Pennsylvania in 2010. “If you mess up on the platform, it’s all on you.". After a monotonous year of working for J P Morgan in 2011, Della Fave of Park Ridge switched career p…

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…

Former Teaneck Resident Learns Independence In The Kitchen
TEANECK, N.J. — Pork chops was the dish that should’ve stumped Meir Levy on a culinary school exam. While Jewish law has always kept the 25-year-old former township resident from eating them, he said he didn’t have to taste the meat to know that a little bit of salt and pepper would earn him a passing grade. “I blame my mom,” said Levy, who spent much of his childhood tinkering in his mother’s Teaneck kitchen. Levy wasn’t always keen on helping his mother, Betsy Levy, prepare for family dinners when he could have been outside playing with his friends, he said. But the kitchen, Levy said,…
