• Sunday shopping ban doesn't apply at American Dream mall, N.J. says in Bergen blue laws battle (nj.com subscription) — Paramus is suing the American Dream mall and its state landlord, arguing the complex is violating Bergen County’s long-standing Sunday “blue laws” by allowing widespread retail shopping. The mall’s landlord, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, is pushing back in court, saying Paramus lacks standing and that Sunday operations at the East Rutherford mall don’t materially affect the borough’s municipal business.
   

• North Jersey wrestler starts rewriting his story with Sam Cali gold (northjersey.com) — Paramus Catholic wrestlers made a big statement at the Sam Cali Invitational, with senior Nick Barone and several teammates capturing titles and helping the Paladins finish second in the team race.
