| The 24 Hour Fitness gym off Route 4 east in Paramus was closed this morning. Firefighters said they were investigating a natural gas or electrical "odor." |
Ex-New York Timesman Marty Gottlieb, editor of The Record, roamed all over the world to bring North Jersey readers an exciting front page today, but he falls flat on his face again.
And what is this, the fourth or fifth day in a row, with a Page 1 story about a new athletics brouhaha at Rutgers University? Give us a break, Marty.
It doesn't get much better inside.
A Star-Ledger story about what Governor Christie does or does not eat equates enjoying many kinds of vegetables to being "a health nut" (A-7).
Utility pole news
Every page in head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes' Local section is filled with Law & Order or minor accident news.
Sykes advances utility pole and DWI news with an L-2 photo.
Another driver who rented a patch of front lawn in Ridgewood as a parking space failed a sobriety test, according to the photo caption on L-6.
Wrong-way John
Now, readers don't have to read several Road Warrior columns to find contradictions from Staff Writer John Cichowski, who can't seem to remember what he reported a few days or weeks ago.
He contradicted himself in his May 26 column, according to a concerned reader, who sent another e-mail to management:
"The Road Warrior is unable to make coherent, mistake-free statements in his May 26 column about traffic enforcement and road fatalities.
"The Road Warrior continues to pull his made-up conclusions and figures out of thin air, even though they contradict well-known facts or what he reported in the very same column.
"He indicated that New Jersey State Police reported LESS traffic enforcement this year since they were still focused on Sandy recovery efforts. I am sure the same was true for local police.
"He then indicated that the reduction in road fatalities this year was due to MORE traffic enforcement.
"He continues to make up fictional numbers based on fictional calculations that he expects will NOT be checked by anyone at The Record.
"He continues to be unable to read reports and provide any sensible analysis or correct data.
"North Jersey readers are not content with the Road Warrior scourge, which continues unabated, to mislead them and waste their time."
