Defendants Split In Stadium Auto Death Of Cliffside Park Record King ENGLEWOOD, N.J. -- The case against one of two drivers for an Englewood “dream car” company involved in an accident that killed a popular Cliffside Park record store owner outside MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford will proceed while authorities decide how to handle his co-defendant. Charges of vehicular homicide against 31-year old Joseph Ferretti of Dumont stand from the original indictment.

It's Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day, Ridgewood Nov. 15 is national Clean Your Refrigerator Day. Although it has been rumored that Clean Your Refrigerator Day was started by the Whirlpool Corporation, the origin of this event is lost in the mists of time. It’s a great reminder that to function effectively, kitchen appliances should be cleaned out periodically. Refrigerators are often taken for granted.
