BREAKING CAMP

Ransey Outdoors, in its Paramus location on Rt. 17  for more than 60 years, is closing up shop there due to high rents that usually only chain stores can afford.
The owners are looking for a new spot not far from the Towne Square site.
The Paramus store, long a favorite for hunters and anglers seeking equipment, was a location for several episodes of "The Sopranos," with Tony getting the store after its owner couldn't pay back a loan.

TOWL HOWL

The call of the wild comes often up in the boonie mountains, but the local golf course?
According to a story in the Scotch Plains Patch, a very large coyote was sighted on Greenwood Drive at the Ash Brook Golf Course an attempted to attack a resident and his pet.
Al Ivany of the state Division of Fish & Wildlife says there are from 3,000 to 6,000 coyotes statewide and sightings are not unusual.
