Proudly Presents

DePaul CatholicHigh School

Soccer

By Heather Shauger“Pick up your garbage!” Ryan yelled to his fellow teammates as I

walked on the DePaul soccer fi eld to meet with him. Even though his team just had an impressive win over Roselle Catholic High School, he didn’t shy away from reminding them of their fi nal responsibility before leaving the fi eld.

When I asked Ryan’s coach, “Who on the team has the most leader-ship?” he didn’t hesitate to give Ryan’s name. That was evident from my fi rst encounter with this athlete. Through his leadership and play-ing ability, Ryan has helped lead his team to the next round in NJSIAA state tournament.

Ryan says that his religion is a big motivation in both sports and his life. He uses this infl uence to not only guide his team off the fi eld, but guide them on the fi eld as well. He plays center back for the team. In this position, he is able to inspire his teammates and position plays throughout the fi eld.

He has played soccer since he was seven years old, and has had the advantage of knowing his coach since he began playing. When he was a freshman he actually left the sport of soccer in order to try lacrosse. However, he was encouraged by his coach to return to the team, where he has gone on to become a vital part of DePaul’s team.

When he plays he says that he, “leaves everything on the fi eld.” Mean-ing, that Ryan literally exerts all the energy and effort he has when playing.

When he graduates, Ryan hopes to play at Sacred Heart University and he eventually hopes to become a Physical Therapist.

Volleyball

page 3editor@sportsfi tnesswellness.com

By Heather ShaugerPrevious to volleyball, Sarah followed in her older sister’s footsteps

and played soccer. However, while she enjoyed the sport, she was not personally driven to push herself to do well in soccer.

She was truly inspired to play volleyball during vacation, when a family member encouraged her to pursue the sport. When she began playing, she fi nally felt the drive and passion to excel and develop her playing ability. She says that she no longer felt like she was, “playing a sport, just to play.” Her passion and enthusiasm for volleyball had become ingrained in her. “I have never been as passionate about any-thing as I have for volleyball,” Sarah declared.

Sarah plays volleyball all year-round with other players at DIGS Club Team. When she fi rst started playing, she was frustrated because she rarely got any playing time. At one point, she thought that she might actually quite the sport. Nevertheless, Sarah didn’t give up and when she fi nally showed her coaches what she could do on the court, she became an instant starter.

She is a captain on Ramapo’s Volleyball team and not only has helped the team achieve success, but has also helped support many of the younger players. “Our job is to encourage not to coach,” Sarah said.

Sarah is an outside hitter on her volleyball team. This position re-quires great all around skills because the player plays both in the front and the back position. Sarah is a versatile player who’s energy is dis-played throughout any volleyball game that she plays in.

Last season, Sarah made a commitment to Lehigh University to play volleyball. She say she will miss the comfort of playing at Ramapo, but is up for challenging herself at a division one university.

combination of P.J. Abplanalp and Rami Mamary that made Northern Highlands history.

In just the fi rst few minutes of overtime, Abplanalp got the ball and fi red a 35-yard shot that reached Mamary on the far post.

Mamary got control of the pass and smacked it by Rama-po goalie Mike DeVito causing the Highlands fans to rise in jubilation.

Unfortunately for DeVore and the Highlanders, Northern Highlands season ended at home in the Group 3 North 1 state quarterfi nal game. The top seeded Highlanders were stunned by ninth-seeded Pas-cack Valley, 3-2, just a few days after the county fi nal.

It continues to show that for Bergen County schools that it is tough to follow a run in the county tournament with a run in the state tournament.

The Highlanders would fi n-ish off the season with a 19-2 record. To go along with a Ber-gen County title, they received a Big North championship.

The school was in a bind when former head coach Pat Naughter took the head coach-ing post for Montclair State University’s girls soccer team during the summer.

For DeVore the players and the district, there was no ani-mosity toward Naughter who helped rebuild the Highland-ers program for the last three years. Naughter was a Mont-

clair State graduate and when there is a college head coach-ing job available you take it. “I have to give Pat a lot of credit, he did a great job with these kids,” said DeVore.

But with the departure of Naughter during the summer, the district turned the keys over to DeVore, an eight-year assistant coach at West Orange High School, a program known for their championship-winning teams.

“I talked to both Pat and Doug (Nevins, West Orange head soccer coach) and they both said that I should apply,” said DeVore. “I thought, “why not go for it.” He (Nevins) has been supportive of me. I talk to him (Nevins) after every game and he gives me tips and we e-mail each other.”

In addition it was a big change for DeVore who has bled West Orange soccer for almost his entire 30-year life that has in-cluded watching his brother playing at West Orange and then coaching at the school. “It was very hard to leave West Orange,” said DeVore who also played college soccer for a year at Montclair State and three years at FDU-Madison. “ The school (West Orange) has been such a big part of my life.”

DeVore, a goalkeeper most of his playing days though has found a different spin on his coaching philosophy. While keepers and defenders might be spinning the adage of de-

fense wins championships, DeVore is just the opposite and preaches an aggressive offensive style.

“I always saw the fi eld from the goalkeeper’s view,” said DeVore. “When I started to coach, I saw it from a different angle.”

And you can’t complain about the success as the High-landers became lethal with the ball. “One of things we talk about is putting the ball for-ward,” said DeVore. “We like to press the backs and get the numbers inside.”

Before the Bergen County ti-tle game, Ramapo and North-ern Highlands had split during the regular season. The High-landers would start the season 15-0 before falling to Ramapo, 1-0, on the night of October 26 in Franklin Lakes. On Sep-tember 22 in Allendale, the Highlanders would top the Green Raiders, 3-1, behind a pair of goals from Picache and a goal from Tim Collis. Ben’s brother, Nick would also tabu-late three assists while Nick Palumbo would make four saves in goal.

And that set up what turned out to be the rubber match of the battle between the two rivals. In the past it has been Ramapo coming out on top, but this time the game turned red and black.

And now an even harder part, the encore for DeVore and the Highlanders in 2011.

Devore Takes the Lead for

NH to BC Top

By Edward KensikSean DeVore admitted that

he was nervous when his Northern Highlands boys soc-cer team traveled to Old Tap-pan for the fi rst regular season game of the 2010 season.

It was only a month before the contest with the Golden Knights that Devore had offi -cially received the job and he hurriedly got his team togeth-er in that month.

Well, behind a goal each by P.J. Abplanalp and Nick Picache, the Highlanders would defeat Old Tappan, 2-0, that included quality play by goalkeeper Nick Palumbo on September 11.

To many except for a few, it would turn out to be the start of something very special for DeVore, the Highlanders and the school.

“It was an overwhelming ex-perience to throw myself into something with only 11 days until the season started,” said DeVore about taking the reins in August just days before practice would start.

For some reason though that seems ages ago as DeVore helped lead a Northern High-lands team to the school’s fi rst Bergen County boys soccer title that came on October 30, a 2-1 overtime victory over ri-val Ramapo.

In the county title game Ben Pinache’s goal would give the Highlanders a 1-0 lead, but Ramapo came back to get the equalizer to send the game into overtime.

But it wasn’t long before the

CHEERLEADER OF THE MONTHCHEERLEADER OF THE MONTH

MeganHarrington

Senior

Mahwah High School


By Heather Shauger“I’m just a girl that wants to get through by having fun.” Megan Har-

rington is a Senior Captain of Mahwah High School’s Cheerleading Squad. She was inspired to begin cheering when she saw how much her sister enjoyed the sport. She has been dedicated to the sport since she was nine.

On her team, Megan is a base, which is the foundation for many of the stunts that are performed during her team’s routines. Not only does she support her teammates in the literal sense, she also is a strong support for her teammates off the mat. She encourages many other cheerleaders to craft their skills and develop their ath-leticism by constant encouragement.

Megan says that she will always remember her fi rst year cheerlead-ing. She started her cheerleading career with CC Champs. It was a “rough start,” she said. The practices were tough and her squad con-stantly went through their routine in order to ensure that the team was fl awless for their upcoming competition.

“The competitive side of cheerleading can become pretty intense,” she says. She recalls the overwhelming energy she felt. “The stage lights were blaring, and there was cheering and excitement from the whole room, as people pounded on the competition mats.” It was a two day competition and on the second day, CC Champs won the competition.

“To be a good cheerleader you have to love doing what you’re do-ing,” she says, which might be one of the reasons why she has been cheerleading since the second grade.

She hopes to join a team in college and continue her cheering legacy. She is currently looking to attend University of South Florida and the University of Hawaii.

By Dan CappelloIf anyone was wondering

whether or not St. Joseph’s of Montvale was for real, they got their answer last week. The Green Knights have one of the toughest schedules in New Jersey, yet, because of their reputation, losing any game still seems like a disap-pointment for a football pro-gram with 14 state titles.

First it was Ramapo. The Green Knights could not stop the Raiders no matter how hard they tried that week. And then it continued against Bergen Catholic, who easily took the victory and left the Green Knights reeling.

But that was weeks ago. A bye week and a new sense of purpose—another state title—fi nally got the Green Knights back on track. Unfortunately for Wayne Hills, they were the team that had to play them next.

Even after a 14-0 start in the fi rst quarter, which looked like Wayne Hills would run away with it, the spirit of the Green Knights arrived to deliver 35 unanswered points and pure defensive domination that no team would want to face.

“Having a week off is so boring and practice is hard-er,” said senior running back Presley Beauvais. “But it helped us.”

The Green Knights defense started the game like they’ve done all season—putting their offense in a hole. Wayne Hills senior, Brian Dowling, rushed for two touchdowns within the fi rst 10 minutes of the game, giving Wayne Hills a 14-0 lead.

“We’ve been down 17-0 against St. Peter’s,” said Beau-vais. “But we never get down on ourselves. As we know, when you execute your plays it’s going to happen. We just

know as long as we execute and stop them we’re going to win.”

It didn’t take long for St. Joseph’s to get things fi gured out. Senior quarterback, Chris Andrews, hit sophomore wide receiver, Ricky Jeune, for a 17-yard touchdown pass mid-way through the fi rst quarter. Then, a botched punt gave the Green Knights the ball on the Wayne Hills two-yard-line, which was an easy punch in for Beauvais.

The Green Knights took a 21-14 lead heading into half-time on a 10-yard run by Beauvais.

“Our kids the whole season just persevere,” said head coach, Tony Karcich. “They

are resilient and it stems from practice. I told them the other day, ‘give me eight hills,’ they said ‘coach we’ll give you 10,’that’s the kind of team I have.”

Andrews started the third quarter with an 18-yard touch-down run to put the Green Knights up by 14. On the side-line and in the stands, most people were talking about a Bergen Record article on An-drews, documenting his gru-eling commute from Queens, NY everyday to attend school at St. Joseph’s.

attention sometimes. It helps me out with the game and it just gets me better and better each and every week.”

It seemed as the game pro-gressed, that Andrews’ new found fame had a signifi cant effect on his performance.

“Usually that’s the kiss of death,” Karcich joked about the article on Andrews. “I’m happy for that kid. He is re-ally an awesome kid. He trav-els everyday like that and you feel good for a kid like that with all that self-sacrifi ce and it pays off.”

The Green Knights put the last nail in the coffi n with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Andrews to Jeune.

The victory over Wayne Hills, secured a number one spot in the state playoffs, giving the Green Knights two home games to start the tournament.

and who has challenged them throughout their season. Even though they had been defeated by them twice before in their regular season, they didn’t let that deter them from put-ting forward their best effort in the state game. Head Coach Dave Van Hook encouraged the team before the game and told them to, “show them you can compete with them.”

Ramapo’s volleyball team did just that. Their passion and team unity was strong throughout the three games as they rallied for fi rst place.

During the fi rst game, it ap-peared that Old Tappan was going to beat Ramapo. How-ever, the girls came from be-hind and defeated Old Tappan 25-19. Middle blocker, Kasey Woetzel and Nicole Kincade defended their court and set up many offensive plays that were essential in helping to win the fi rst game.

At the start of the second game the girl’s were “on a high from winning,” said Captain Sarah Giegerich. However, before the game even started they were penalized for not serving in the correct order. It took several moments to get the second game underway because the referees seemed unsure of how to handle the call that was made. Old Tap-pan was awarded a point due to this error. The girls still

played with high energy and came close to winning the second. Despite their efforts however, Old Tappan won the second game, 25-19.

In the third game, the girls played on their heels. They still had a chance to beat Old Tappan and win the tourna-ment. Opposite hitter, Kirsten Salmins, was aggressive in set-ting up many of the offensive

ball team hasn’t won states since 1993, nor have they been so close to winning in over seventeen years.

In sophomore year, the se-niors on Ramapo were known as the “young bloods.” The potential that the Ramapo girls had was realized as ear-ly as their sophomore year in high school. This name has stuck with them and has served as a reminder of their potential and strong ability on the court.

The team had to overcome several obstacles in prepar-ing for their 2010 season. They lost the majority of their starting team from the previous year, and had to ad-just to an all-new line up. In addition they needed to fi nd a new setter.

Luckily, Erin O’Haggin took the initiative and energy in training this season to be-come the new setter. The job of a setter is to put the ball in the air, so that the attack can drive it into the oppo-nent’s court. This proved to be a benefi cial decision, be-cause Erin has proven to be a very talented setter and has helped to solidify the team’s success.

In the state game they faced Old Tappan High School, who won the tournament in 2008,

plays against Old Tappan. In the end, Old Tappan won the tournament with a fi nal score of 25-17.

In spite of their loss, the girls seemed pleased with their performance and progress that they made this season. Their coach was excited and proud that the girls made it this far in the Bergen County Tournament.

Igor Petrovic put the Mustangs, who topped DePaul 3-1 in the semifi nals, got on the board in the opening half when he converted a penalty kick and Christian Castro scored off an assist from Oscar Gonzalez in the second half as Clifton surged into a 2-0. Keeper An-thony Tsouhnikas stopped eight shots on goal for the winners. Wayne Valley, which defeated Hawthorne 5-2 in the semifi nals and was seeded No. 1, averted a shutout in the second half when Robert Palmarozza netted a goal with Mark Lucci picking up an as-sist. Goalie Chris Riviello was credited with six saves as the Indians fell to 11-3-1.

of the 27th Annual Passaic County Girls Soccer Tourna-ment on Saturday (October 23), Wayne Valley dominated as the blue shirts played most of the game in the territory of the white shirts. However, when the fi nal whistle was blown, third-seeded Clifton had earned the right to shower the Mustangs head coach Stan Lembryk who was smiling with the thrill of victory which was a 1-0 thriller. Sophomore forward Jennie Hornstra sup-plied the only goal from 15 yards out in the 18th minute when she converted a pass from sophomore midfi elder Delana Pasquale off a restart at midfi eld. Wayne Valley built up an 8-7 advantage in offi cial shots on goal, most of which

KID’S FITNESS

RULE #1 Make it About the Kid’s1. Teach the Skills to play a

specifi c sport.2. Make each player a

functioning member of your TEAM.

3. Practice Good Sportsman-ship and make your Athlete’s play by the rules.

4. Each little Athlete should be committed to their teammates.

5. Compete by Playing to win but explain and have an understanding why you lose.

RULE #2 Get involved!If you have something to say

about the “REC” (Recreation) Basketball League or your town’s Travel Team — then join the team as a Coach. Don’t come to practice after work and complain about ANYTHING.

Make a decision — entrust the efforts and leadership of the other coaches or coach alongside of them. You will be considered a “volunteer coach” and you are giving your time, but understand the impact you will have on these young people’s life FOREVER.

Coaching Youth Sports: 101

CONCLUSION:Youth Sports have become

TOO STRESSFUL. Be a Trendsetter in YOUR

TOWN and Teach the Game, Make it FUN and Develop young people by teaching a Sport.

In the past, Youth Sports were designed for structured play and to improve skills in a particular sport. Most kids played in the neighborhood with their own rules and with their own equipment.

The “Travel team” was an “All-Star” team that was a collection of the BEST players in the town that played other towns. The Goal was to WIN as many games and make it to the regionals or nationals if possible. But that was not the case in every sport.

In 2010 we have Travel Teams for all age groups and most sports. Travel teams are not always comprised of the best players, so You HAVE to TEACH the Game.

When YOU become a youth sport’s coach — make it about helping little athlete’s improve in their sport by Teaching the Game, Sportsmanship, Giving Effort and Being a Good Teammate.

Get your little Athletes to practice at Home and Make it FUN so your players come back next year. The SUPER BOWL is played the fi rst Sunday in February and it is played by Professionals, not 8 year olds.

YOU WIN when your Athlete’s smile and say, “Hi Coach, thanks for a Great Year!”

Make it ABOUT THE KIDS!

4. Effort, Teamwork and Sportsmanship should be preached at ALL Times.

5. A TEAM GOAL should be when a play learned in practice is successfully performed in the game!

RULE #4 Design a Practice Plan1. You DON’T have to be a

Professional Coach to Make an Organized and Constructive Plan.

2. Micro-Manage your practice to include: Warm Up-Individual Skills-TeamWork-Tactics-Fitness-AND FUN!

3. Involve other Parent’s (Assistant Coaches) — Delegate Responsibilities so everyone is involved and “helping.”

4. Breakdown team into little groups for drills so ALL the little Athletes PARTICIPATE and can IMPROVE their skills.

5. Make EVERY PRACTICE count and have a REASON for every Drill and explain it to the other coaches and team.

RULE #5 Successful Youth Sport’s

Coaching and Season1. The Entire Team and

Parent’s HAD FUN and the little Athletes gained MORE CONFIDENCE in Life.

2. Everyone gave 100% to play the game properly and participated with ALL their Heart.

3. All the little Athletes learned about the Sport and became Student’s of the Game.

4. Skills were improved and will be worked on at home after the Season.

5. Everyone on YOUR Team WILL Play next year.

What you should consider before Coaching Youth Sports

1. You will be a role model. You should not smoke or drink at public games and must conduct your self respectfully.

2. Everything you say will be absorbed by the little Athletes and you should think before you speak and YELL.

3. It will consume a lot MORE time then the planned practices and games.

4. Pick up a book at a bookstore and learn about today’s sports and “how to” motivate young people.

5. Parents will be omnipresent and communication must be thorough to prevent any issues.

RULE #3 Philosophy1. Make TEACHING the

Sport a Priority and Paramount — Sports are Classrooms for Athlete’s.

2. Communicate your expect-ations and Goals to your TEAM and their parent’s prior to the season.

3. Practice Sessions should be made FUN, Educational, but with a Purpose.

There were runners from all over the state, who competed hard and also gave big. The overall winner completed the 5k course (the same course where the Bergen County HS cross country championships was held just the day before) in a blazing 16:26! Awards were given out to the top 3 fi nishers in each age group and the win-ners were dominated by Sports Conditioning Clients, led by Jess Andre and Sam Dunn (both from Waldwick HS) who were 1st and second in the 15 – 21 female division.

It was a truly great day. In addition to the 5k, there was a 1 mile fun run, free food, face painters, clowns, music and much more. All the activities were donated, and all to help

families overcome the fi nancial burden associated with having a child suffering from cancer.

As always, the donations from our 5K event will be used to pro-vide immediate fi nancial sup-port to families who are strug-gling to keep up with the every-day expenses that accumulate as they care for a loved-one fi ghting cancer. More than 40 families will receive grants that will enable them to catch up on overdue bills, pay for rent and groceries, and much more.

We are so proud to thank our wonderful sponsors for the day, including: My Pillow Pets, The Shaun O’Hara Founda-tion, GlaxoSmithKline, Hertz, Mercedes-Benz USA, Millers Pharmacy, Music for Aardvarks and Other Mammals, Saint Barnabas Health, Care System, Sports Conditioning Institute, Run Fast Live Slow.

Special thanks to members of our 5K Committee for their incredible efforts to make the event a true success. And, of particular note, we appreciate

Many thanks to everyone who participated in this weekend’s 5K & Family Fun Run, raising money for families fi ghting cancer in the New York-New Jersey area! We saw a record 500+ participants, who helped us raise nearly $45,000. $13,000 of that money was raised through the incredible efforts of our Reach Runners, who encouraged friends and family members to support them by sponsoring their par-ticipation in the 5K! We also had many families, local high school students, and teams from local corporations such as Hertz, Mercedes-Benz and BMW join in the fun, and help this wonderful cause.

The Sports Conditioning Institute was the largest fund-raiser at the event, raising over $2500. They also pro-vided the warm-ups for the runners as they specialize in

Sleep On It!Practical tips for putting the rest back into

your night’s slumber.

however, now indicates that when it comes to looking and feeling great and being at your most productive and alert, it’s the quality, not the quantity of your slumber that counts.

There is no set formula for the perfect night’s sleep. Some people report feeling fully en-ergized after only our hours of sleep. For naturally short sleepers, 5 ½ hours or less a night is fi ne. Such sleepers do not have a “problem” because they are alert and energetic during the day. On the other hand, some individuals com-plain that they’re essentially non-functioning if they get less than nine hours of rest.

Heredity and age both play a vital part in the amount of sleep you need. While it’s usu-ally another story for the mom, babies average about 16 to 18 hours of sleep. Kids, one and older, should average 14 hours a day, while teenagers typi-cally require nine to ten hours of sleep. Most adults do need eight hours, although about 10% report needing consider-

We seem to be a nation of zombies getting by on little sleep and gallons of Starbucks. It’s estimated that about four out of ten Americans regularly do not get a good night’s sleep and suffer from some degree of impaired alertness during the day as a result. Just ask anyone who’s spent a sleepless night or two and you’ll get an earful about all of the negative effects. Aside from not looking and feeling your best, your cre-ativity, mood, concentration and athletic performance all suffer. In addition, sleep depri-vation is estimated to cost the United States billions of dollars each year in terms of lost lives, productivity, accidents and health care costs, according to research sources.

How Much is Enough?Just what constitutes a restful

sleep? Once upon a time, we believed that eight hours was the magical number to wake up refreshed. New research,

ably more or less sleep. And contrary to popular belief, the elderly don’t need less sleep. It’s just that their sleeping pat-terns grow more fi tful.

What’s Keeping You UpPhysicians commonly clas-

sify insomnia into three types: • Transient, which lasts a few

days and is the result of minor stress or a disruption of regu-lar sleeping schedules

• Short-term, which lasts over a period of several days or weeks, and is associated with problems such as stress from work and family life

• Long-term or chronic, which lasts longer than a few weeks, and is usually associ-ated with underlying medical or psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety dis-orders.

Physical disorders that dis-rupt sleep can include sleep apnea, where you stop breath-ing dozens of times a night, and nocturnal myoclonus, which is characterized by leg twitches. Both cause chronic

fatigue since the sleeper fre-quently wakes.

Smart Sleep TacticsTo help ensure you don’t

stay up all night thinking of ways to get some sleep, here are some dreamy ideas:

• Practice consistency. Make sure everyone in your family goes to bed at a regu-lar time and rises at the same time each morning, even on weekends. When a person goes to bed at erratic times, it takes longer for the body temperature to drop to the level most conducive to sleep. By going to sleep at the same time each night, the body’s chemistry grows used to the routine.

• Color your sleep. Research reveals that the color of your bedroom has a defi nite infl u-ence on your sleep patterns. Harsh, vivid paint or wallpa-per can cause restlessness, sleeplessness or nightmares. If your teen’s idea of deco-rating runs along the lines of acid greens, fi re engine red or

neon oranges, maybe it’s time to talk. Instead, consider soft pastel hues—think celestial blues, dove grays, crèmes and beiges, for instance—as these soothe, comfort and produce feelings of peace and quiet for sounder sleep.

• Unplug and tune out. In these days of constant ac-cess it’s hard, if virtually not impossible, to keep yourself from constantly checking e-mails, logging on to Face-book or Twitter, YouTube, surfi ng the Internet or work-ing on your laptop in bed. And let’s not leave out the lure of late night TV and in-fomercials. Your kids can be just as bad. More than two-thirds of today’s kids have a computer, games machine, TV and/or cell phone in their bedrooms. Think they’re sleeping like babes? Chances are they’re texting under the covers, instead!

Set the example. The best option is to clearly separate and identify the bedroom as a haven and place of rest and relaxation, not the home of-fi ce or family media room. If you must have some tech goodies in your inner sanc-tum, set limits and time re-strictions. Plan on unwinding by unplugging—electronical-ly, digitally, wirelessly, men-tally and physically—at least 15 minutes before going to bed. Make sure your kids do the same.

• Avoid oral stimulants. Stay away from caffeine, nicotine and the ingredients in some diet pills or energy drinks. Also, don’t drink alcohol be-fore bed. While alcohol may

make you drowsy at fi rst, it will disturb your sleep later on. (And don’t think only in terms of nightcaps; many cough and cold remedies contain large amounts of alcohol as well.)

• Maintain a regular exercise regimen. Physical activity on a daily basis is a wonderful way to relax your body and mind. Just be sure it’s not too near bedtime.

• Sleep in the proper setting. Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet and at a comfort-able temperature. (Experts recommend in the mid 50s or low 60s). If possible, keep a window slightly open to help promote circulation of fresh air since the body needs lots of oxygen to replenish its cells.

• Try relaxing with mind/body exercises. For instance, while in bed, stretch full length, with every muscle pulled tight.

Starting with your toes, slowly work your way up your whole body by consciously relaxing every muscle group until you work out your tension.

• Chill out. Set aside time before you go to bed to men-tally unwind. Don’t lie there planning tomorrow’s to-do list

or rehashing the day’s an-noyances and problems. A hot bath or shower, followed by a soothing massage, will help guarantee that you get a good’s night rest.

Follow these tips, and you’ll likely be sleeping easy in no time!


Settle DownSleep suggestions for what ails you.

ESS SPORTS • FITNESS • WELLNESS

If you suffer from low-back problems: Lie on your back with your knees bent and supported on a pillow, or on your stomach with a pillow under your stomach. Or try lying on your side with your knees bent, which also keeps your spine from arch-ing. A pillow between your knees will add to your comfort since it supports your top hip.

If you snore: If you sleep on your back, use a foam rubber wedge instead of or in addition to your pillow. This way your air-way is more likely to remain open. Sleep-ing on your side is also helpful, as is us-ing one of the over-the-counter sleep aids

products such as nasal strips.

If you’re pregnant: When you sleep on your back, the full weight of your uterus presses on your internal organs and blood vessels. A better method is to lay on your side with knees bent and a pillow between your legs to better support your top hip.

If you experience frequent heartburn: If you lie fl at, stomach acids can rise through the esophagus, causing a burning feeling in your chest. If you’re certain it’s just a case of heartburn instead of something more serious, try sleeping with your head and upper chest on a sloping wedge.

rently doing paralegal work in a Manhattan law offi ce. “When one of the lawyers asks if I can come in on a Saturday to fi n-ish up something, I’ll give him a big smile and say: ‘Sure, and I’ll even throw my fi rstborn into the bargain so you can take him to his soccer game.’ That way I get my message across, but in a non-hostile way.”


Concentrating on the lighter side of the very thing or situation that’s making you crazy helps defuse the nega-tive emotions generated and gives you a greater sense of control and well-being. Even if you can’t actually change anything, refocusing your outlook will go a long way in lightening your load.

Laughter brings a new perspective on your problems and puts some pep into your mental and physical lethargy. Instead of feeling totally over-whelmed, you gain a psycho-logical distance that allows you to see your situation from a more objective viewpoint so you don’t feel completely overwhelmed and helpless. It makes you realize that others have similar challenges, and that you are far from alone. After all, misery loves compa-ny. You know why? It’s pretty hard to feel anxious, angry, sad, hateful or tense when you’re all laughing. Helping you to relax and de-stress, laughter gives you a renewed sense of focus and energy,

Your boss is so bad she could give any third world dictator a run for his country’s money. Meanwhile your bank account, 401K and stock portfolio have taken such nosedives that your stomach lurches at the mere thought of them. And to top it all off, your cold is so bad that your nose drip is gushing forth like Niagara Falls.

It’s enough to send you into a fi t of doom and gloom. And that’s probably part of your problem. Taking things so seriously—even when there’s cause (and who among us can claim to be without challeng-es)—may be doing you more

harm than good. A touch of humor may be just the cure for your woes.

Researchers in the fi eld of psychoneuroimmunology, the study of the physical and psychological interaction, continue to compile compel-ling evidence about the poten-tially crucial link between your mental perspective and your body’s reaction to stress and illness. And when it comes to romance and the social scene, no one needs expert or clinical data to know that humor is a powerful aphrodisiac.

“Humor lets out my hos-tility and tension in a less de-structive and safer way,” says Laura, a Wyckoff resident cur-

As for romance, you only have to read the personal ads to discover that a sense of hu-mor consistently ranks high on the list of desirable charac-teristics people are looking for in a mate.

“My husband, Joe, may not be the handsomest guy I ever dated, but he’s the funniest,” says Nancy, who lives in Hill-sdale. “He’d be the fi rst one to joke about his looks. But I’m crazy about him. After 15 years of marriage, he still makes me laugh. I’d never

Who Gets Sick: Thinking and Health. Neurotransmitters, he explains, are the signals of the nervous system, which in turn, regulate bodily mechanisms such as heartbeat, blood pres-sure, hormone release and di-gestion.

“When I’m having a lousy day, and my co-workers and clients are getting on my nerves, I just put on a big smile and fake it un-til I feel it,” notes Ana, a stylist in a busy hair salon in Ramsey. “Surprisingly, after awhile it always seems to work. Soon I’m laughing and joking with my clients, and we’re all hav-ing a good time. It’s all about attitude. I choose to be happy. I choose to laugh and have a good time.”

Looking on the bright side will not only boost your sex appeal, it will pump up your self-confi dence and well-be-ing. Learn to laugh at yourself and life’s “calamities.” Take it in stride. There’s always another day. After all, you thought today was bad? Wait until tomorrow! (Just kid-ding!)

which, in turn, allows you to get more accomplished.

A good belly laugh works wonders at relieving physical tension and stress, loosen-ing your muscles for nearly an hour later. Numerous re-search studies have found that laughter decreases stress hormones while increasing your body’s immune cells and infection-fi ghting antibod-ies, thereby bolstering your body’s resistance to disease. Much like exercise, laugh-ter—a mental workout—works by releasing endorphins, your body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins, which have potent analgesic proper-ties, foster an overall sense of well-being and are so power-ful they can even help relieve pain and improve your body’s resistance to disease.

Another vital benefi t is laughter’s effect on your heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood fl ow, which can help protect you against possible heart attacks and other cardiovascular compli-cations.

The link between laughter and mental health also is a strong one. Laughing, or even smiling, can lighten your mood signifi cantly. Even if you don’t feel like it, try smil-ing. The physical act of ar-ranging your face in a smile will help fool or condition your mind and body into feel-ing better.

“One study shows that if we assume facial expression of happiness, we can increase blood fl ow to the brain and stimulate release of favorable neurotransmitters,” writes Blair Justice, Ph.D., a pro-fessor-emeritus of psychol-ogy at the University of Texas School of Public Health at Houston and the author of

HEALTHY TIPS

You see, as the body matures, fat is increasingly distributed around the waist and upper ab-domen. One of the cruel ironies of growing old is that we gain fat in undesirable places and lose fat in critical areas where we would prefer to keep it, such as the sockets of our eyes and those nice comfy, cushy pads at the bottom of our toes and feet. Yes, our toes and feet! Not only do I fi nd this grossly unfair, it also seems to defy the laws of gravity. You may well won-der how fat can move upwards from our hips and thighs to our

liberally applied. But as a kind of an evolving apple I would be advised to add heft and width to my hips to balance a larger upper body. What’s a girl to do—there are no fashion rules for papples!

But maybe that’s a good thing. The reality is that at this point, whether I add volume to the top or the bottom, I’ll never get a construction worker to even look up from his sandwich, let alone bother to whistle. Which is fi ne. In fact, it’s rather exhila-rating. I am beginning to under-stand the attraction of organiza-tions like the Red Hat Society, whose members are middle-aged/elderly women that gath-er in groups wearing bright red hats and purple dresses. The society was originally inspired by the poem “Warning” by Jen-ny Joseph, which included this

Have you ever noticed that all the good female shapes—for example, the inverted triangle and that feminine ideal, the hour glass—are not to be found anywhere in nature? The natu-ral, organic ones are the least desirable female forms, like the bottom-heavy pear, the round apple and the shapeless banana.

Many an hour of my youth was spent poring over magazines that preached acceptance and

self-love while devoting most of their pages to glossy images of unnaturally shaped models, with tips about how to look more like them (more-or-less inanimate objects) and less like ourselves (more-or-less fruit). It took me all of my childhood and adolescence and a good portion of my adult years to adjust to my own pear silhou-ette and to fi nally acknowledge the pluses, as well as the mi-nuses, of this particular design. And while I never ceased to la-ment the thighs that stretched outwards towards each coast, eventually I became proud of my relatively narrow waist and fl at stomach. By “eventually” I mean right about the time my waist started to widen and my stomach began to protrude and I evolved into a new shape altogether, part apple and part pear, a bulbous freak of nature which for lack of imagination I’ll call a “papple.” Turns out, the real challenge for women of our vintage is not learning to accept the fi gure we were born with but, rather, the strange body we’re morphing into.

waists instead of gravitating down to the balls of our feet. (Maybe Mother Nature fi gured we wouldn’t need padding on the bottom of our feet since she had expected that, by now, we’d be buried fl at on our backs with our toes curled up.)

Fundamental scientifi c princi-ples like gravity are not the only laws turned upside down by the aging process. There also are those well established canons of fashion that we’ve carefully observed over the last 50 years, rules that I personally have ad-hered to with far greater dedi-cation than I ever paid to the tenets of Judaism. Thus, being a pear, I dutifully added volume and detail to my upper body to balance my profi le and draw at-tention away from my broader hips and thighs. Horizontal stripes were recommended and

stirring line: “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, with a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me...” It’s all about exploiting one of the perks of aging (there had to be one, right?)–the independence to violate every rule of fashion. Pears can dress in loud pat-terns with pleats strategically placed to spread just at the hips; apples can wear brightly colored thick belts and loose-fi tting pants and skirts. And us papples? We can just run around naked. Who cares? Who will even notice?

No rules means freedom and, as Janis Joplin told us a while back: “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.” Except, maybe, just a little around the middle. But, please God, no more from the balls of my feet.

Center

By Dr. Ray HuntingtonWhile your child may be

ecstatic to have a nice, long hiatus from school this De-cember, you may be feeling panicked about how to keep him or her entertained. How can you help your child use his or her brain and have fun at the same time? Try one of these six activities that will engage your child this holi-day break:

Draw out your child’s in-ner artist. Art stimulates the imagination and encourages critical thinking. Invest in a paints set and an inexpensive easel, or even create your own by taping a large piece of cardboard onto a wall on which you can hang sheets of paper. Check out a book on origami paper folding at the library. Investigate crafts

Six Fun Learning

Activities for Your Child’s

Holiday Breakcenters in your area and call to fi nd out if they have special programs for children. And as always, follow your child’s lead. Is he or she more inter-ested in drawing than building with clay? If painting doesn’t pique your child’s interest, how about jewelry making?

Learn in the kitchen. For many families, the holidays in-volve a lot of time in the kitch-en—from holiday cookies to big family dinners. What better time to teach your child about the art of cooking? Cooking teaches several important skills—planning ahead, time management, even math and science—and helps children increase their self-confi dence as they master a new talent. Together, spend a day search-ing through cookbooks or online for recipes and take a trip to the store to shop for in-gredients. Let your child be in charge in the kitchen (if he or she is old enough).

Write New Year’s resolu-tions for the coming year. With plenty of time for refl ec-tion, holiday break is a great opportunity for your child to think about his or her accom-plishments and disappoint-ments from the past year and set goals for next year. Set-ting goals teaches children to take responsibility for getting the things they want in life. It also encourages them to de-fi ne clear plans of action and take pride in their successes. Be sure to let your child come up with his or her own list of things he or she wants to learn, accomplish or change in the coming year. Not only is the goal-setting process itself benefi cial, it is good writing practice, too.

Make writing fun. Make a night of creating a “2011 predictions list.” Write a fam-ily novel, where each person writes a chapter (or section of a shorter story)—the sil-

lier the better. During break, keep an open notebook on the kitchen counter where the whole family can record short, funny memories from holidays past; then, spend an evening reading them aloud together.

Go on a scavenger hunt.Scavenger hunts are a fun way to get kids moving and thinking creatively. Have your child invite a few friends over and pass out lists of items to each child or team. The list could include items to collect from around the house or the neighborhood. Want to get out of the house? Make it a library, art museum or mall scavenger hunt. In-stead of items to collect, the children could photograph items or answer relevant quiz questions.

Hire your kids. Whether your child is 9 or 15, he or she is likely to get excited about a little extra spending money. Hire your child to do chores that are outside the norm of his or her regular household responsibilities and pay him or her by the hour or the task. Not only will this keep your child occupied, chores teach children valuable life skills: organization, prioritization, responsibility and more.

Holiday vacation is a great time for children to wind down from the busy fall se-mester, but relaxing doesn’t have to mean endless hours of television or computer time. With a little creativity, you and your child can come up with many ideas to keep the whole family active and learning.

Oakland’s Santaniello Selected

NJAC Soccer Offensive Player of the Year

By Dennis WilsonOakland’s Rob Santaniello, a Ramapo College sophomore for-

ward, has been named the New Jersey Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Year for the 2010 season. The 2009 NJAC Rookie of the Year, Santaniello was named the league’s top offensive player after leading the NJAC in both points (46) and goals (21). A two-time all-conference selection and a three-time NJAC Player of the Week selection this year, he currently leads all of NCAA Division III in both points and goals as of the latest na-tional statistics. Against NJAC competition, he also posted league-high totals of 16 points and eight goals.

Santaniello’s classmate, midfi elder Jonathan Yazo of Cliffside Park and Westwood’s Matt Heitmann, a senior defender for Wil-liam Paterson were chosen to the NJAC First Team. Named to the Second Team were two Montclair State Red Hawks, Hackensack’s Dan Mendoza and Wyckoff’s William O’Connor.

Wayne’s Ali Ruddy, a senior defender for William Paterson which lost to The College of New Jersey in the NJAC championship match that is available at usasoccernetwork.com, was selected an NJAC First Team All Star. Selected to the Second Team were New Milford’s Kathleen Maggi, (William Paterson), Paramus’ Laela Brock (William Paterson) and Wyckoff’s Amy Van Dyke (The Col-lege of New Jersey).

Competing at the NCAA Division II level in the Central Athletic Collegiate Conference’s soccer were a dozen local student/ath-letes. In the women’s division of the CACC in which host Goergian Court defeated Holy Family (PA) on Saturday (November 6) in Lakewood in a game that may be viewed at usasoccernetwork.com, there were Allendale’s Courtney Annis (Chestnut Hill), Fair Lawn’s Jen Jimenez (Felician), Lyndhurst’s Nina D’Amato (Feli-cian), Cassie Indri (Felician), Burcu Kulaksiz (Caldwell) and Nicole Sanchez (Domincan), Northvale’s Sarah Royse (Caldwell), Ridge-fi eld Park’s Giana Scerbo (Caldwell) and Nora Selimovic (Felician) as well as Wyckoff’s JoJo Pisani (Felician).

Among the CACC men’s teams in which the complete play-by-play web cast of Dominican’s shootout victory over Bloomfi eld Col-lege is available at usasoccernetwork.com, local residents include Palisades Park’s Mike Loaiza (Wilmington) and Wayne’s David Far-rokh (Nyack).

By Dennis Wilson Michael Gilfi llan, an owner of the New Jersey Devils and the

Prudential Center in Newark addressed students in the Fairleigh Dickinson University of Sports Administration on Tuesday (No-vember 9) at the Metropolitan Club on the Teaneck campus. Gilfi l-lan lectured for two hours on the administrative, fi nancial and mar-keting processes that took place to create the Prudential Center as well as obtaining events for the venue.

Professor Paul Giblin, a resident of Paramus, attended with his class in Human Resource Administration in Sports Organiza-tions.

Another group attending the event included the students from Professor Dennis Wilson’s course in Sports Marketing and Promo-tions. Wilson, the President of Sports In The USAS, Inc., has been affi liated with NJ Sports since this publication’s inception fi ve years ago. His course explores the concepts of marketing, promo-tions, and public relations for various components of the sports industry, concentrating on marketing strategies and varying con-sumer behaviors in different sports venues that are analyzed as so-cial and economic issues related to buying and selling of sports.

During the 2011 Spring semester, Wilson will be teaching Events Planning & Administration (MSA 6635.82) on Wednes-days (January 12 to March 30) while his fi rm’s vice president and corporate counsel Neil Malvone, Esq. will be in an adjoining class room presenting Legal & Professional Ethics in Sports (MSA 6605.82). Both classes are timely subjects for high school athletic administrators as well as youth group leaders in the current period of fi nancial recession.

The North Jersey Jets cur-rently have four teams that practice and play out of St. Joseph’s Regional High School in Montvale, NJ. This organiza-tion is comprised of teams with age groups from 8 to 15 years old from several surrounding Bergen County towns. They compete against some of the toughest competition here in NJ as well as on a nation level. They were recently invited to hold a home game at the brand new NY Jets training complex in Florham Park where they faced a tough Paterson Jr. Colt program. With three of the four Jets’ teams battling for top seeds in the regional playoffs, all came away with no losses. The Jets came away with three wins and a tie which propelled

those three teams into the play-offs.

“It was an honor and a privi-lege to play at such an amazing facility” explained Jon Wilson, president of the NJ Jets orga-nization. “Not only was it excit-ing for the kids, but I think the parents and family members were equally thrilled.” The games were the last regular season games for the Jets, who began their practice as early as August 1st. “To play our regu-lar season games and practice at the terrifi c facility at Joe’s is so great, but then to complete your season where superstars get to play will be a memory that will last forever.”
