• Jury Rejects Retired Cop's Bias Suit ; Clears Paramus, Chiefover 2005 Promotion

HACKENSACK -- The borough of Paramus and its former police chief were not discriminating against a retired police officer because of his age or lack of political clout when the borough denied him a promotion, a Bergen County Supreme Court jury ruled Friday. The verdict in a case brought by retired Detective Lt. Ron O'Neill should send a message to other borough employees who make "false allegations" against the borough, its attorneys said.

• More Than Shopping

Mastodons, a turkey statue, a zoo and lots of stores -- all these can be found in Paramus, in the center of Bergen County. According to the municipal website, the name "Paramus" comes from the Lenni Lenape language and means, roughly, "a fertile land where corn was grown, attracting wild turkeys." The turkey, symbolizing the region's rural past, has become the symbol of the borough, even meriting a statue in one of the malls that give Paramus its reputation as one of the great shopping areas of the Northeast.

• Workers Told to Find Savings

PARAMUS -- Municipal employees can help the borough avert layoffs if they can come up with about $600,000 in permanent budget cuts in the next three weeks, Paramus officials said Monday. The Borough Council set a deadline of May 17 for employees to identify $600,000 in budget cuts -- a figure that they said represents the necessary savings over a 12-month period to avert 13 proposed layoffs and three demotions. Officials said $377,000 would need to be trimmed from 2011 budget in order to meet that goal.

• Ex-cop, Paramus at odds again ; Judge rules he needs building permits

HACKENSACK -- A retired police sergeant embroiled in a whistle- blower lawsuit and several related disputes with the borough of Paramus must dismantle some improvements to his property unless he gets special approval from the borough, a Superior Court judge has ruled. In a 21-page decision last week that acknowledged former Sgt. John Ward's "complicated relationship" with the borough, Superior Court Judge Jonathan Harris wrote that he could not look past Ward's failure to get the required permits for structures he has built during the past decades, even though Ward proved the town's zoning board had held him to unfairly high standards when it denied him permission to build a deck on his property in 2008.
