Deck The Halls, And More, In Hasbrouck Heights Holiday Contest HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J. -- It might be tough to top one of the more interesting displays of last year during this season's Holiday House competition in Hasbrouck Heights, but residents will certainly try. “Last year someone had a video projection in their front window," said Dorothy Bernice, the chairwoman of the Community Celebrations committee. "Santa would actually come over and wave to people outside watching him. It was amazing -- even a little startling.” Residents and merchants are decking the halls -- and windows and porches and lampposts and more -- in the two and a half …

Prosecutor: No Deal For Garfield Couple In Cliffside Park Shooting Death CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. -- “At least five shots at close range is more than a murder -- it’s an execution,” said a Bergen County prosecutor who has refused to offer a formal plea deal to a Garfield couple charged in the shooting death of a Cliffside Park man. Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Danielle Grootenboer told a judge in Hackensack on Monday that family members of the victim, Hector Tito Zabala Jr., agree that Michael Sampson and Jacqueline Pierro should go to trial. Saying that no defendant has a constitutional right to a plea deal, Grootenboer said she's floated an "informal&qu…

Bergen Sheriff's Officers Raise $15G To Fight Cancer In No-Shave November HACKENSACK, N.J. -- "I've got a razor blade concession in the back!"

Concerns Aired Over New Apartment Complex On Leonia, Fort Lee Border LEONIA, N.J. -- A six-story Fort Lee apartment complex at the entrance to Route 46 on the Leonia border appears inevitable following Planning Board approval.

A local street, Hoeffley's Lane, runs parallel to a…
