Fair Lawn High School geometry students competed in the school's annual Pasta Bridge Competition on Friday.
The crunch of fettuccini noodles fracturing reverberated through the Fair Lawn High School auditorium Friday as geometry students put their wheaty feats of engineering to the test at the school's annual Pasta Bridge Competition. Now in its 15th year, the contest that tasks students with designing a 12-ounce bridge made of only Ronzoni fettuccini and Elmer's White Glue has become a student favorite. Qualifying bridges are judged on maximum weight supported and aesthetic value. This year's sturdiest bridge, built by Liana Sina, Daria Ortega and Denise Tarakjian, held a cool 385 pounds before its 11.05-ounce frame snapped under the growing weight of systematically stacked barbell plates. Student pasta bridges need hold only 25 pounds to …

Fair Lawn Fire Chief Jeff Greco was uninjured in a minor motor vehicle accident Sunday on Morlot Avenue, police said.
Fair Lawn Fire Chief Jeff Greco was involved in a minor car accident Sunday while responding to a fire call on Elizabeth Street, police said.

The Fair Lawn Garden Committee sponsored a plant swap Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Recycling Center on Saddle River Road.
Residents and non-residents braved the stormy weather Sunday to take part in a Fair Lawn Garden Committee-sponsored Plant Swap at the Recycling Center on Saddle River Road. Garden Committee chairwoman Jane Spindel said the swap, which ran from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., attracted plant lovers from Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Ridgewood and even Ringwood, who brought plants to exchange one-for-one, or purchase for $2 each. This year, Young Paek, owner of Cliff Garden Florist, donated 30 lilacs — distributed free to residents — and an additional 10 rebloomers to sell as profit for the committee. The proceeds from Sunday's swap will be used for "greening" Fair Lawn. -- Follow Fair Lawn-Saddle Brook Patch on Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to receive …
