Troy Zaffino

Senior

Junior

Ridgewood High School

Wayne Hills High School

Soccer

Football

By Heather Shauger Tara Porfido is an impressive athlete that not only stands out for her playing and leadership ability but for the obstacles that she has had to overcome throughout her playing career.

Not many athletes have the ability to overcome playing injuries that they sustain with stride in which this athlete has. Halfway through her sophomore year, Tara tore her ACL during a Varsity County Game. She was out for the rest of the season, as well as her basketball season. She worked hard to make a full recovery for her junior year, but was soon met with yet another challenge. During a corner kick, her head collided with a defender’s foot from Wayne Hills as she attempted to leap up for a header; which ultimately broke her nose and deviated her septum.

Luckily, this season she was injury free, and “had something to prove.” Her resiliency, coupled with her renewed energy has shown significantly this season. Most recently, in a county final game against Roxbury she scored the only two goals of the game. She is a key player on the field and sets up and directs plays throughout the game. On the field, she is proud to be one of the few players who routinely takes the throw-ins.

Having partly been inspired by the injuries that she has sustained throughout her playing career, Tara hopes to pursue a career in physical therapy.

By Heather Shauger Troy Zaffino has had a lot of recognition for his performance in a recent championship game against Old Tappan. Troy led his team, Wayne Hills, to an awe inspiring victory. With only 20 seconds left on the clock, he received a lateral pass from his teammate, Brian Dowling and ran it over 73 yards to score a winning touch down for his team.

Troy stands out amongst a sea of talented athletes.

Wayne Hills was known for having the longest running winning streak within their conference. They had a total of over 55 consecutive wins. Even though they have since been defeated in this streak, their team is still nonetheless impressive.

Troy’s versatility and ability to adapt to various plays and situations on the field set him apart from many other athletes. He has played an array of positions including, wide receiver, running back, tail back, and quarterback.

He is known on the field as, “TZ-9” and has already been named Captain for the 2011 football season. He expects to be the, “go to guy for next season.”

He knows that he has big shoes to fill for next year’s season with Wayne Hills, but is an athlete that is more than capable of meeting those expectations.

Blauvelt Leads Wallington to Historic Win Photos courtesy of Edward Kensik.

By Edward Kensik The borough of Wallington is known for its Polish restaurants and also for soccer.

The Wallington boys soccer team gave its rabid fans something that they have been longing for and have been knocking on the door to get with a Group 1 state title this season.

Over the years Wallington football has had some good teams, but it mainly has taken a backseat to the soccer teams.

For the community though, it was a credit to them when thousands converged on the New Meadowlands Stadium on Dec. 3 to show their support for the Panthers football team.

And both the Wallington football team and the borough fans were both rewarded with a historic victory, 23-21, over Mountain Lakes to win the Group 1 North 1 state sectional championship.

You could say it was a David versus Goliath victory for little Wallington to defeat the team, Mountain Lakes, that had the longest winning streak in the state, 35 games, and they had won the last two Group 1

North 1 state titles.

In addition it was high praise for a Wallington native, head coach Barry Blauvelt, who was a member of the last Panthers state title team in 1990, the last Wallington football team to win a state championship.

“Right now it feels real good,” said Blauvelt. “The football players can walk around town and say that they are the best football players in the borough.”

Before 2010 the Panthers football team had made it to the state tournament, albeit as the eighth seed, only to be knocked out in the first round to a much stronger top seed including last season to Mountain Lakes.

Turn back the clock 16 months ago and Wallington school district found out then head football coach Jim Albro was taking a new vice principal’s job for the Ft. Lee Middle School. So the Wallington administration turned to a member of Albro’s coaching staff, Blauvelt who at the time had been the defensive coach and had been on the staff for seven years.

With Blauvelt taking over the reins, the Panthers were coming off their first state tournament

bid in more than a decade.

After getting the job, Blauvelt knew that the expectations were increased after the team made the state playoffs. “We can just handle things that we can control and not worry what we can’t control,” said Blauvelt at the time when he received the job.

In Blauvelt’s first season his Panthers finished with a 7-3 record in 2009 and a first round ouster to Mountain Lakes (426) in the Group 1 North state tournament.

In the off-season the Panthers went back to work knowing that 2010 was going to be a crucial year. It was the last year for two of the top pieces, quarterback Charlie Vellis and running back Criss Sullivan.

Both had been instrumental in reviving the football program and helped both Albro and Blauvelt bring up the program several notches.

And with Vellis and Sullivan heading the drive for Wallington, the Wallington head coach somewhat knew that his team had the ingredients to go a long way in 2010. And experience was the number one ingredient.

“It’s been a long time since we have been this experienced,” said Blauvelt before the start of the season.

At the beginning of the 2010 season, Blauvelt said that team’s slogan was discipline.

“The kids have chosen discipline on the back of their hel-

mets and we need to do the little things,” said Blauvelt.

But that slogan took a dent in the first game of the season, when Blauvelt’s team took a beating, 39-10, from their former Thanksgiving Day foe, St. Mary, in Rutherford. And you could say they took a lesson from that day.

After that loss Wallington reorganized and went at it. The Panthers would win a squeaker, 21-20, at North Arlington.

For Blauvelt and the Panthers, the win over the Vikings would be done a total of 11 times including the win over Mountain Lakes.

After graduating from Wallington High School, Blauvelt played college football for one year at Albright College in Reading, Pa and then three years at Western Maryland University (which is now McDaniel College).

He returned back to the area after graduating from Western Maryland and coached Wallington peewee football for a year in 1998. He then became an assistant coach for Lodi High School from 1999-2003 before coming to Wallington High School.

With the title game behind him, the Wallington head coach hopes this game will bring some more eighth graders and other levels of high school players to come out next season to continue the momentum.

Cheerleader of the Month DECEMBER 2010

Kim Betrus Senior Ramsey High School

By Heather Shauger Kim Betrus has been involved in sports since she was little. Being an athlete was part of her life, however nothing held her attention quite like the sport of cheerleading. She first was introduced to the sport when two of her friends brought her to a competition held at CC Champs. When she saw the intensity and atmosphere that competitions harbor, she knew that cheerleading was the sport that she wanted to pursue.

She has been involved with CC Champs and cheerleading for over seven years. She says that managing her time is one of her toughest challenges. At one point in time, she was on a total of three teams, two for CC Champs, and the squad for Ramsey High School. Kim has influenced many people through her cheerleading career, including her two younger sisters from Missouri. Since starting to cheer, she has encouraged her sisters to enter the world of competitive cheerleading.

Kim is a strong positive force on any team that she is on. Not only did she create the routine for Ramsey’s cheerleading squad, she gets her teammates rallied and energized for games and competitions.

Her coach recalled a time where several members of the squad were missing for an important competition. Many of the team members were discouraged and did not even want to compete. Kim rallied the team together and lifted their spirits. Because of her positive leadership ability, the Ramsey squad was successful in their competition.

In her near future, Kim hopes to attend a school somewhere near South Carolina. She has not yet decided what college she hopes to attend, but knows that she will somehow find a way to become involved in cheerleading.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Dowling Ends Wayne Hills Career in Spectacular Fashion

By Dan Cappello Wayne Hills senior, Brian Dowling, was down to one last play before the end of his high school football career.

With 23 seconds left, he knew that the ball was going to fall into his hands on the ensuing kick-off. Down 21-17 to Northern Valley-Old Tappan, it was going to be up to him to make something spectacular happen.

Just minutes earlier, Old Tappan’s star junior quarterback, Devin Fuller, made his own magic when he took his team down the field twice in the fourth quarter to pull off an improbable comeback to take the lead.

It all came down to this.

Dowling received the kickoff and rushed ahead. He faked left, then cut right, and suddenly it seemed like any hope for a miracle was going to be

over. The white and gold uniforms of Old Tappan engulfed him, pushing him back nearly seven yards. It looked like it was going to be over for this soon-to-be UMass football player—his high school career ending on the turf of the New Meadowlands Stadium just like the 2009 state championship game ended with a loss to Ramapo.

“The game is never over until it is over,” Dowling would say after the game.

Dowling saw his teammate, junior Troy Zaffino, standing behind him to his left. And just as the slightest whistle sound came out of his lips of a referee, Dowling released the ball. The game was out of his hands. Grasping the ball, Zaffino followed the lead of his fellow junior teammate, Andrew Monaghan, for the next 87 yards and stunning a crowd of continued on page 10

“I saw the whole left side open and I just ran down the sideline,” said Zaffino. “I had Andrew Monaghan lead blocking the whole way and I knew I could get it.”

The 2010 state championship weekend couldn’t have ended with a more dramatic conclusion. Wayne Hills, in what looked like a sure loss, took one last grasp of hope and made something out of what seemed like nothing.

“As long as you have a kid like Brian Dowling on the field, at

the end of the game you have a chance,” said Wayne Hills coach Chris Olsen. “On the kickoff the ball went right to him and he made a heads up play.”

Earlier in the game, it looked like Wayne Hills was going to walk away with an easy victory.

They took a quick 14-0 lead and kept Old Tappan’s Fuller in check. They walked into the locker room at halftime with a 17-7 lead and what appeared to be a solid defensive plan.

“We held Devin as well as you could hold him,” said Olsen.

“Then they got their fullback going on us.”

Old Tappan’s sophomore run-

ning back, Keith Rodman, started things off in the fourth quarter. He pushed the Wayne Hills defense by pounding them in a way Fuller couldn’t. He capped an early quarter drive with a 17-yard touchdown run to bring Old Tappan to within three.

Wayne Hills had missed two field goals in the second half that were proving critical in the fourth quarter. Old Tappan had one last drive left to make something happen and they put it in the hands of their star.

“I don’t usually get nervous for a football game,” said Dowling, who finished the game with 34 carries, 194 yards and two first half touchdowns. “But today

I was a little nervous coming into this game just because of Devin Fuller.”

Fuller converted two crucial fourth downs and with under a minute to play hit junior wide receiver, Drew Martinez, on a 12-yard pass for the go ahead score.

“When they scored, I looked up at the clock and was like, ‘oh, 23 seconds left not a lot of time to work with’,” said Zaffino. “So we had to do something on the kickoff return and we made it happen.”

The ensuing kickoff played out in brilliant fashion. Wayne Hills stunned the crowd as Zaffino crossed the goal line to

regain the lead. But it wasn’t over yet.

With less than 10 seconds to play, Old Tappan would get their own chance to make a thrilling return on a kickoff—and they put Fuller on the field. However, Olsen was not going let that happen.

“We knew he was going to do something,” said Olsen.

“We had one timeout left and there was no use in going home with it. We wanted to keep the field wide, keep one guy back in case anything crazy happened and I would hate to have back-to-back plays like that.”

In the end, Wayne Hills had the privilege of hoisting the North 1 Group 3 state championship trophy for the eighth time in the last nine years.

For Old Tappan, a team that

doesn’t make an annual trip to the meadowlands to play for a state title, the loss will certainly sit with them all off-season. But they have the luxury of returning most of their stars next year, including Fuller, who finished the 2010 season with an astonishing 2,319 passing yards and 20 touchdowns and rushing for 1,902 yards and 32 touchdowns.

Wayne Hills will have to do without the magic of Brian Dowling and his now infamous lateral.

“Coach Olsen tells us every year we need to win the state championship,” said Dowling.

“And that’s our goal.”

“I guess you can call it lucky,” he said about his decision to throw the ball back to Zaffino.

“But a win is a win and we’re more than happy.”

Old Tappan’s QB Devin Fuller proved a tough opponent to the Patriots ‘D’.

Bosco Avoids Upset Against Rival Bergen Catholic for Fifth Straight Title

By Dan Cappello

Don Bosco’s Paul Canevari helped contriol the tempo of the game for the Ironmen running the ball for 264 yards and five touchdowns.

The rivalry between Don Bosco Prep and Bergen Catholic goes back a long time. So it was no wonder that their Friday night state title matchup at the New Meadowlands Stadium on December 3rd had the makings of a classic. Especially when you consider the side story of Don Bosco’s Coach Greg Toal facing off against his pupil, Nunzio Campanile.

Early on Bosco dominated Bergen Catholic in every facet.

Senior quarterback Gary Nova felt comfortable giving the ball to senior running back, Paul Canevari, and letting him rumble for the next 60 minutes for 264 yards and five touchdowns. “He was the bull all year and he was the bull that a lot of people didn’t have an answer

for,� said Toal. “We gave it to the bull and the bull took us over.�

But Bergen Catholic wouldn’t go down quietly, especially with a leader like senior Tanner McEvoy.

McEvoy led his team on the field after halftime determined to show that Bosco’s defense was not impenetrable. The most points Bosco’s first team defense gave up in a game all season was 16—to Bergen Catholic. “Going into half we had a lot of confidence. We were up three possessions,� said senior defensive captain, Lars Larsen. “We have to give them respect. They came out in the second half and played their hearts out.�

McEvoy led his team on a stunning comeback. He would continued on page 14

finish the game with 279 passing yards and two touchdowns, plus 129 rushing yards. After a three-yard touchdown pass to senior Jack Gallagher in the fourth quarter, Bergen Catholic pulled within four points at 31-27.

Nunzio’s Crusaders have been known to take risks in big games, and he knew that, by the way Canevari was running, giving the ball back to Bosco was not a good option. So he called an onside kick.

On the ensuing kickoff, Bergen Catholic senior, Spencer Kulscar, jumped on top of the onside kick recovering the ball with less than five minutes to play. But the thrill of taking risks proved deadly for Bergen Catholic.

On the first play of the drive, McEvoy threw a deep pass downfield that was picked off

by Bosco’s junior defensive back Yuri Wright. This put the ball back in Canevari’s hands.

With each carry Canevari ate up the clock and put a final nail in the coffin with a 43-yard touchdown run with under one minute to play, putting the game out of reach for the Crusaders.

“We were getting a little bit frustrated but we just stuck to the game plan and kept our heads up,” said Canevari. “I try to run with power and I try and run low. At the end, we got a drive we needed and finished.”

Bosco claimed the Non-Public Group 4 State Title for the fifth straight year and notched their 35th consecutive victory. All for a team that some claimed was in a rebuilding

“We were unsure about what type of year we were going to have. But our kids believed in us and we worked hard and we continued to get better and better,” said Toal. “I’m proud

of our guys and the way our guys stood up and answered the bell.”

“Canevari ended it the way it should have been ended,” he continued. “He was the bull all year and we are just proud of our guys and are just proud of the way we closed the game out.”

Ramsey’s Fight for the Championship

By Heather Shauger As the Ramsey Ram’s 2010 football season drew to a close, there was one last score to settle. The Lakeland Regional Lancers beat Ramsey in a matchup within their scheduled season. Now, that same team was the only thing standing between the Rams and the championship title.

Ramsey’s football team is not a team that goes out without a fight.

They had a successful season with only two losses: Lakeland Regional High School and Riverdale High School. page 16

In the championship games, they came back with fire behind them. Many spectators were surprised when Ramsey knocked off Riverdale’s team to become the top seed within their group.

The game took place at Kean University’s football field on Saturday, December 4th. Despite how cold it was that day, many Ramsey students and fans came out in order to support the team.

Principal Richard Lio, said that he was “especially proud that the team was able to make it this far in this season.” The

Ramsey football players have endured several losses and setbacks in the season, but they were never deterred from making it to the finals.

In the first half, the Rams completed only two passes and were shut out by the Lancers. Ramsey is known for their impressive defensive team and skills, but despite their energy and efforts, Lakeland’s team continued to press on. The first half ended with the Lancers ahead 7-0.

Defensive back, Dejean Adair had several tackles, in an attempt to rally a come-

back for his team. Ramsey’s quarterback, Brian Bohmert and Kenny Majors seemed eager to move the ball up the field, however they advanced no further than midfield in the second half. Lakeland’s impressive defense made it nearly impossible for Ramsey to get around the outside of the field.

Lakeland tacked on 13 more points and took home the title with a final score of 20-0.

“Today, they (Lakeland) really stepped up on defense,” said Ramsey coach Vic Tribuzio. editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

The outstanding event, which is the premier race in the State of New Jersey that is not a member of the Grand Prix, was created after the September 11, 1999 death of Upper Saddle River resident Dick Meighan, who was

a long time resident and active participant in community life.

He was a coach to hundreds in a variety of sports which spanned the ages and interests of his four children.

Meighan is sorely missed, but memories of his devotion to family and community spirit live on in the race.

Proceeds from this community-based operation, benefit the local community, including D.A.R.E., the SRV Rescue Squad, Ambulance Corps and Fire Department, USR Education Foundation, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America, USR Youth Triathlon and the “Extra Mile” Scholarship Fund.

Total donations have exceeded $150,000.

The race provides Thanksgiving Day joy to thousands of runners and their families. It’s a fitting tribute to Meighan’s memory and the Upper Saddle River Recreation Commission is extremely grateful to all who support the event.

Matched against a team that included the Gatorade Player of the year for New Jersey proved to be no problem as Don Bosco Prep surged to a 24-0 advantage by the halftime intermission in defeating St. Zpeter’s Prep of Jersey City 37-0 in the NJSIAA Non-Public Group IV playoffs. Leonte Carroo made a statement for the Ironmen’s defensive unit when he put DBP on the board in the opening quarter by recovering a fumble in the end zone. The “D” unit continued the “scoring attack” when Jabrill Peppers had the Don Bosco fans shouting and screaming when he bridged the first and second quarters with a 50 yard TD run on a fumble recovery and followed with a 95 yard run to glory when he picked off a Marauder aerial on the five-yard line. Max Buchanan split the uprights with a 33-yard field goal as the special teams put points on the board before halftime. The offensive unit was finally heard from in the fourth quarter when Paul Canevari bolted 15 yards into the end zone and Mike Yankovich blasted five yards over the goal line.

PARENTING

Mom & Dad - RELAX! It’s Just a Game...

Contributed by Pete Ohnegian, B.A., CPT, PES; Former Professional Football Player; Owner, Good Energy Training, Allendale, NJ

Youth sports are supposed to be a fun-filled learning experience that not only teaches children the basic fundamentals of the sport, but lessons on teamwork and good sportsmanship. I’ve spoken to many coaches who volunteer their time in the afternoons and weekends, working with young kids to develop the necessary skills they will need as they become older. They always speak of how fun it is to coach kids throughout an entire season. The biggest problem they must deal with week after week, are some of the parents who take a little league game way too seriously.

When I was a kid, playing little league sports, there was always one kid on my team who would quit, just avoiding being embarrassed by their fantasy-minded mom or dad.

It’s truly amazing to see adults fighting each other in the stands because of what’s going on in a game or yelling at the coach because their child isn’t getting the playing time he or she deserves. CNN reported that a poll of close to 3000 participants, conducted by the Center for Sports Parenting, 85 percent of the polls participants witnessed parents or coaches becoming verbally abusive during games and forty percent of the poll participants witnessed a parent become physically abusive. Where is the

editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

anger and rage coming from?

People actually get way out of control over what’s supposed to be fun.

No, your child is not an instant Olympian or a future Hall of Fame quarterback. Your child may not even be interested in becoming a basketball player when they get older so you shouldn’t force them into pursuing a goal that you failed to accomplish. You may feel that you are being good parents by supporting your child by any means. What you are actually doing is ruining the whole experience for the child, overshadowing their fun with unnecessary pressure.

Michael Muldoon, an author who wrote an article on athletes and parents, says that: “Good parents shut their mouths, stay glued to their seats and let the players play, the coaches’ coach, and the officials officiate. You won’t always be successful, but give it your best shot to spare your child a heap of embarrassment”.

As the adult, it is your responsibility to be a good role model. As the parent, your child only wants your support, not your scrutinizing or embarrassing antics in the stands. If you have a young child interested in participating in an upcoming sport, you should definitely read below.

Don’t Force It Ok, so you love football with a passion. You were the hometown hero in high school and a pretty decent player in college. You feel that your career ended prematurely and now, there’s an opportunity to relive your life dreams through your 7 year old, right? Wrong.

For starters, Junior may have dreams of playing the piano or acting in a Broadway play.

He plays football because he may not want to upset you or

hurt your feelings. Well genius, let me be the one that hurts your feelings. Your career was finished years ago, move on.

You should never force a child to pursue in anything that they don’t want to do, except going to school and getting good grades. Let your child decide what they want to do and support them.

All They Want is Your Support I hate to see when a child gets chewed out after a game for not performing the way their parents want them to. It doesn’t matter whether your child is six years old or eighteen years old, all they want from you is support. Parents should be telling their kids how proud they are regardless of the outcome, not how embarrassed they were. Believe me, when you come down on your child for a mistake on the field, you are not helping their development.

Instead, you are adding more doubt in their minds. Be the parent that encourages your child regardless of what happens during a game.

Respect to All There is no secret that we want our kids and the teams they play on to win. However, what’s wrong with clapping for the other team once the game ends? I once saw a group of parents laughing at the opposing youth soccer team as they left the field, true story.

It’s time we show respect for all children involved in a game, win or lose. An example of true sportsmanship will rub off on your kids.

You Are Not the Coach According to CNN, a man pulled a gun on the head coach of his son’s football team because he felt that his kid wasn’t getting enough playing time. The real disturbing part of this story is that the game was between 6 and 7 year old kids. This story is the worst case scenario, but many coaches will tell you that they get approached by parents all the time regarding why their kid didn’t get enough play time.

Many of these confrontations are not pleasant and can sometimes result in the parent pulling the kid from the team.

Everyone wants their child to play, and a coach of a little league team should allow every player to play. However, there are better ways of handling the situation. If you must confront a coach regarding any problems you may have, be respectful and listen to what he or she has to say. No player is above the team and the other kid who sits on the bench with your son may deserve just as much of a chance to play.

Many parents fail to realize that youth sports is about having fun and learning for children.

Too often, people go overboard by their overaggressive actions at youth sporting events, causing the child to be embarrassed and ashamed to play. The mission is to allow kids to have fun while playing their favorite sport, not pressured into becoming the next world champion. page 25

Paul’s Motors

A Long Tradition of Quality and Integrity

“Since 1920”.

That small phrase tells you what you can expect from our family at Paul’s.

More than 75 years ago, the first Paul Korzinski opened a small machine shop in Brooklyn, NY to service cars. A few years later, (at his wife’s insistence) Paul moved his family “to the country” in northern New Jersey. There he opens a service station, which has occupied the same corner of Hawthorne, NJ for most of it’s existence. He begins to sell used cars “on the side”. His teenage son Paul (our current president) convinces him to sell new cars as well. The first Paul’s Motors was a Saab/Volvo dealership, before becoming exclusively Volvo in the mid 60’s.

Today, Paul’s daughter Diane, and son Paul Jr. have joined their father in teh family business. They share the same commitment to the community, the environment, and the family of individuals who have become their loyal customers. If you live in the north Jersey area, you have no doubt seen numerous Volvos driving around with our logo decal displayed on their cars.

Our logo, an elm leaf, was chosen for several reasons.

Since the business opened, it has been surrounded by beautiful elm trees. These trees are a constant reminder of the history of Paul’s, it’s long tradition of quality and service to the community and it’s interest in the ecology of our planet.

Our Gold Leaf decal is given to our loyal customers when their Volvo reaches 100,000 miles. This decal, as well as the name Paul’s Volvo has long been synonymous with integrity, and the exemlary service all who pass through have come to expect. We now extend this tradition to our web customers and welcome all of you to our family.

A FIT-ting Gift

By Nayda Rondon naydarondon@sportsfitnesswellness.com

This season, consider giving the gift of fitness by signing up someone you love with a personal fitness trainer. A great one in our area is Vinny Galanti, the owner of the Training Station personal training studio in Mahwah, NJ. Galanti, a certified World Instructor Training Schools (WITS) personal trainer, opened the studio in May 2002. He has been endorsed

by Universal Nutrition for the last 14 years and is a competitive International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) professional bodybuilder.

NJ Sports, Fitness & Wellness recently caught up with him to get his fitness tips.

NJSFW: Tell us about the Training Station.

VG: We have clients ranging in age from 14 to 71. They range from athletes to business professionals and weekend warriors. We also train individuals with multiple sclerosis and breast cancer survivors. Our training packages are very affordable, and all training is done in the studio. In addition, independent trainers are very welcome at the

Training Station.

NJSFW: Describe what new clients can expect from you when signing up to train?

VG: Every new client that starts at the Training Station will be expected to fill out a comprehensive fitness evaluation package, covering all health history. The very first session is an evaluation that covers the individual’s goals and past workout history.

NJSFW: What’s your training philosophy?

VG: I do not believe in just one type of training. At the Training Station a client will experience a mix of weights, bands, stability balls and core training in a one-hour training session.

NJSFW: What sets you apart from other trainers?

VG: Experience. I’m 43 years old, and I have been in this field since I was 17 years old.

NJSFW: What’s the most common challenge you encounter when training clients?

VG: Clients do not take nutrition seriously enough. Many consider it a bother to make eating small meals throughout the day part of their normal regimen. Unfortunately, I can’t hold anyone’s hand during the other 23 hours of the day that a client is not with me in order to make sure he or she eats properly. This is a big obstacle for both for the client, and myself, which is a shame because individuals who actually listen to me about what to eat, achieve awesome results.

NJSFW: What’s your motivational approach?

VG: Once I get clients to do an exercise they never thought they could do “well,” I keep telling them that they are stronger than they think they are. I am not a cheerleader, but I will get you motivated.

NJSFW: What nutritional aspects do you incorporate into your training programs?

VG: People think there is a fast way to do it, and there isn’t. Yes, you can do the latest fad diet and lose 20 pounds in a short period of time, but you will just gain them all back real quick, if you’re not careful.

People should eat five small meals daily—things such as a grilled protein like chicken breast, a complex carbohydrate such as brown rice, a good fat like macadamia nut oil or olive oil, and you can’t forget your steamed vegetables to balance it all out.

NJSFW: What 5 tips do you consider crucial for starting and maintaining a fitness-training program?

VG: 1. Drink water all day long.

2. When it is time to eat, EAT. Don’t put it off to do a chore or errand.

3. Don’t miss a workout session.

4. When you’re taking a day off from the gym, take the day off.

Rest is important.

5. Keep in mind that more is not always better. Don’t overdo your workouts with the expectation of getting in shape faster.

Moderation is the key.

NJSFW: Give 5 top tips to avoid injuries due to overuse or wrong techniques.

VG: 1. If it hurts, change the exercise.

2. Use the proper form.

3. Always pay attention to what you are doing. Focus on each and every move; don’t rush through a workout.

4. Get enough sleep.

5. Don’t lift more than you can handle. Leave the ego at the door.

NJSFW: What are some pros and cons of working with a fitness trainer as opposed to exercising on your own?

VG: With a trainer, your one-hour session will be more intense, and the results cannot be compared to those you might achieve if you were to work out on your own. But

VINNY IN BRIEF Achievements: Vinny is a four-time national bodybuilding champion, Jr. USA 1st, Jr. National 1st, Mr. USA 1st, and the over 40 masters nationals champion Favorite sports drink: water When I’m not training someone or working out myself I like to: read Secret food vices: candy and pizza Favorite healthy snack: protein shake My pet peeve is: people talking on the cell in the gym.

Body part I’m most proud of: I love training legs.

I hate: training my abs.

Favorite saying: “You are stronger than you think you are.”

Biggest compliment a client’s given me: a hug and a thank you 3 words that best describe me: dedicated, longevity, tough Can’t live without my: iPod It’s a good day when: a client really gets “it.”

It’s a bad day when: clients take out their frustrations on me.

For more information, visit www.trainingstation1on1.com or call (201) 529-2780. doing it alone is free (laughter).

NJSFW: What’s your biggest satisfaction as a personal trainer?

VG: I like seeing clients reach their goals, and pushing them past plateaus that they never thought possible to achieve.

NJSFW: What’s your view of the “no pain, no gain” type of training philosophy?

VG: I’m all about getting results, not hurting someone. But some exercises will give you that deep burn, and if you are not willing to allow me to take you there, then you are not experiencing a hard workout.

By Nayda Rondon naydarondon@sportsfitnesswellness.com

Get a head start on sensationally lustrous and healthy locks.

Below we’ve taken a look at some of the most common hair problems and provided ways to tackle them just in time for all those fabulous holiday soirees.

Thin & Lifeless Thanks to family heredity, lots of women and men already have thin hair and, unfortunately, time only makes matters worse. “As we age, the diameter of each hair shaft on our heads is reduced,” according to Dr. Joel Kassimir, clinical instructor of dermatology at NYU Medical Center in New York City. In fact, during the average person’s lifetime, the diameter of each individual hair will shrink an average of 20%. Adding to

the problem, frequent showers and shampooing, often commonly results in shampoo and conditioner build-up, which leaves thin hair looking dull and mousy.

What to Do: • A good haircut is a must for thin-haired women and men. Choose a stylist who will know how to cut your hair for maximum volume and can design a style best suited for your hair type. A great area stylist to check out: Renowned for his cutting technique and artistic flair for designing styles that perfectly complement your hair needs and tastes, Haruo Noro, owner of the eponymous salon in Ridgewood (7 West Ridgewood Avenue, Ridgewood;

Photo courtesy of Devenir Bridal. page 28

201-389-3521; www.haruonoro.com). Also high on Bergen County residents’ list of top salons is the David Michael Hair Studio (65 Route 4 W. 35 Plaza, Paramus; 201-843-2727).

• Give your hair wonderful body and fullness by applying a styling aid on damp toweldried hair before drying. To add lift or height at the hairline or sides, just mist lightly with styling spritz or spray while hair is still damp.

If you have long, straight tresses that tend to flatten on top, you can add height and volume to your holiday hairstyle by applying a small dab of styling liquid gel at the roots from the front hairline to the crown.

For maximum volume, bend over and lightly spray hair nape then flip back.

• For more body, don’t blow dry in neat, even section. Instead, work your fingers in a circular motion at the roots, lifting random sections as you dry with blow-dryer.

• Since we lose between 150 to 200 hair strands a day, it’s important to keep your scalp free from dandruff and dirt so that the hair may grow unobstructed. For best results, many beauty pros recommend massaging the scalp for 30 to 90 seconds while shampooing.

In this way, the follicles are free to replace the hair loss.

• Thin hair often attracts static, especially in the winter (just think what happens when you remove your winter hat!). To combat static stress, try using a wooden comb to help prevent electricity.

• Ask your stylist about hair weaves as a way of working in added fullness into your existing hair.

• To get rid of product buildup, regularly switch hair products in order to limit residue from a particular brand.

Consider trying a shampoo

especially formulated for residue relief. Neutrogena, for instance, offers an excellent variety of shampoos and conditioners designed to reduce residue from 70% to 90% in a single application. Other top hair product picks: Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality Collection, which includes shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment. The collection transforms frizzy hair to a silky smooth finish as it strengthens thin, weak hair against styling damage. All the products are formulated with a blend of cassia, avocado, bamboo and grapeseed extracts.

Dry & Dull After being assaulted by an entire army of nutrient-robbing elements all summer long, the change in temperatures that the fall and winter weather brings is just one more added stress on tired tresses. Dry, frizzy hair also is often lacking in silky shine and luster.

What to Do: • Styling overload is one of the most common causes of dry hair, and the blow-dryer is the most common culprit. To combat, stop drying your hair while it’s still damp and let it dry naturally as often as possible.

• Another blow-drying tip: Go for spot drying as opposed

Thick & Unruly It’s a hair nightmare: You’re dressed up for that special night out, but your hair is going in 50 different directions! The winds of winter aren’t exactly helping the situation, either. But with a little imagination and some planning, you can get the better of those unruly locks.

What to Do: • If your profession or hectic no-fuss lifestyle calls for a conservative, no-nonsense ‘do, consider going with a short cut to help keep hair under control.

Or try layers to thin it out.

• A super-control gel will tame out-of-control hair.

• Some salons offer chemical-free straightening. Due to gentler formulations, the procedure is less demanding on hair health than it was in the past.

vulnerable to breakage when you remove color. So if you’re going blonde, pay extra close attention to your hair’s pre-dye condition and opt for the gentlest products.

• To keep color at its best, think maintenance. Top colorists recommend getting highlights redone every three to four months; semi-permanent hair color after four to six shampoos and permanent hair color retouched every four to six weeks.

• Shampoo and condition well and use products specifically made for color-treated hair.

What to Do: • If you somehow wind up with a greenish hue to your hair, here’s a quick solution until you can go in to your colorist: Try mashing six aspirins into warm water, combing through wet hair and then rinsing after a few minutes.

• Rinse hair with club soda as some minerals in showerhead water can dull hair and affect its color.

• Have bathroom pipes checked if water leaves a red or green residue on your bathtub.

These stains may indicate a too-high copper or iron level in the water, which can affect the color balance of your hair.

• Tone down the frizzies with a conditioning-enriching mousse or cream leave-on conditioning lotion. Start at the roots and slowly work your way down towards the ends.

• Give yourself a hair overhaul with a hot oil treatment. Applied once a month, the treatment is a good way to prep hair for coloring. By utilizing essential oils such as vitamins A and E, these treatments work by eliminating surface buildup–the natural result of shampoos, conditioners and styling aids.

• Rinses are great tress shiners. They not only liven up hair, but also enhance its natural highlights. Want a natural rinse? A lemon and water rinse works well for blondes, while chamomile tea is excellent for brunettes and redheads.

• To add shine and create smooth and silky styles, try Super Shine Conditioning Gel ($2.99 for 6 oz), recommends celebrity stylist Larry Sims.

Sims’ pretty party look advice: Whether it’s high on your head or low at the back of your neck, this smashing style can go from your work place to any holiday party. To accomplish this look (pictured below), make sure your hair line is smooth while your bun is undone.

Safe for chemically treated hair, they keep color-treated hair vibrant.

Split Ends Dealing with scraggly, unkempt-looking split ends are no

one’s idea of a merry time. Fix those split ends!

What to Do: • Since there’s no way to mend a split hair once the hair shaft has been broken, have those split ends trimmed off immediately before they split more and travel up the hair fol-

licle, requiring a more drastic cut.

• As hair is most vulnerable when wet, wait until it’s damp before you start combing out the tangles.

• Hair shrinks slightly when it dries, so don’t tie wet hair in a tight ponytail or breakage will result as hair “shrinks” dry.

• Invest in high-quality combs and brushes; inadequate hair tools will literally pull the hair out, causing extreme damage and breakage.

• Choose a wide-toothed comb with widely spaced, rounded teeth.

• Limit brushing to a bare minimum.

men’s hair capital, Kerastase Homme Capital Force is the first dual-action hair maintenance system that maintains healthy hair while combating aggressors that lead to hair loss. The two-step in-salon treatment incorporates a relaxing hot towel gesture and invigorating scalp massage with an energizing serum to stimulate the scalp. It’s followed by a deep cleansing treatment to remove impurities, preparing for optimal reception of the ingredients of Systeme Taurine, the newly developed breakthrough technology that includes four key amino acids, vitamins, and molecules to take effect on the root while protecting and fortifying hair fibers.

A refreshing spray, also filled with hair-boosting ingredients treats from root to tip to finish, resulting in denser, cleaner and healthier-looking hair. In-salon treatments cost $30; product prices range from $30-$32.

Hair Treatments

Renowned stylist Antonio Prieto, of Manhattan’s famed Antonio Prieto Salon, highlights two cutting-edge treatments for men and women that give hair that extra-special attention just in time to get you noticed at all those holiday parties and get-togethers.

Winter weather isn’t exactly ideal for keeping locks full and lustrous. Prieto’s Balmain Hair Système Volume treatment creates volume, movement and texture without annoying frizz. By adding foils of real hair, which are personally customized by length and color, clients can achieve a flawless, natural look that’s individually tailored to obtain as little or as much volume as desired. The more foils added, the more voluminous the hair becomes.

The application and removal is simple and lasts for three months.

Naturally Beautiful Holistic health and beauty expert Karyn Calabrese believes our bodies are the most precious gift we’ll ever receive and we must treat them as such. Toxic elements are everywhere and while it’s impossible to avoid them all, we can take small but crucial steps to eliminate many of them from our own personal environments. To help us do just that, Calabrese’s skincare and makeup lines are all natural and free of dyes, parabens, talcs and fillers. Infused with aromatherapy and antioxidants, the products—many made with recyclable packaging—range from pressed foundations, bronzers, mascara, lip treatments and makeup removers to raw organic soaps and moisturizers; prices range from $7.95 to $140. A great stocking stuffer to consider: Karyn’s Mineral Makeup Palette ($140) features 100% pure crushed minerals in a pressed foundation, blush and two eyeshadows.

Completely free of irritating talcs, dyes and fillers, the products instead contain aromatherapy and essential oils such as lavender to soothe and heal the skin, as well as antioxidant-rich green tea extract to improve skin tone.

Sweet Sensations

By Nayda Rondon naydarondon@sportsfitnesswellness.com

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Yes, Virginia, there is a way to relax our stringent standards just a smidge and enjoy the holidays without feeling deprived or restricted. So you don’t feel totally guilty about a little sweet indulgence or two, follow our tips on eating right through the holidays.

• Make “moderation, not excess” your mantra.

• Eat before you go out.

Twenty minutes before eating, have an acidic food or drink like grapefruit or tomato juice. Acids stimulate an intestinal hormone that sends messages to your brain telling it when you’re full.

Drinking a couple of glasses of

Bergen Bakeries For other yummy baking sweet spots, try these local favorites:

water also goes a long way in filling you up.

• Be selective in your indulgences. Play the field and politely pass up fattening hors d’oeuvres trays until you’ve had a chance to scope all the different selections—including the desserts table—before making your final picks. Hmmm, six greasy pigs in a blanket or one scrumptious mini cupcake? I know which I’d pick!

• Savor the sweetness! Take your time, and make each bite and swallow count.

• Control the portion sizes. If you’re doing the entertaining, think small when baking. For a delicious option, we have included a great recipe from Bobbie Lloyd, president and chief baking officer of Magnolia Bakery in New York City.

Baker Bobbie’s Tips “At Magnolia we make our cookies the old-fashioned size, as in bite size,” notes Bobbie Lloyd of Magnolia Bakery in New York City. “Use a small one-ounce ice cream scoop to portion your cookies.”

Other health-conscious tips from Bobbie include: • Prepare cookie dough in advance and freeze the balls, and only bake as needed.

• Pre-scoop ice cream into small bite-size pieces and freeze.

Once solid, drizzle chocolate over the balls and freeze again.

These make a great snack.

• Use smaller plates. Not only will the portions look larger, but you won’t actually be able to heap as much on your plate.

• Mini cupcakes use the same recipe as all of the other tempting choices from Magnolia.

Those who are calorie-conscious should just reduce the

portion scooped, advises Bobbie. Muffin tins should be filled a little more than half full. Mini tins are available at any food or cooking store. They are about 1 ¼” at the bottom of the pan and 2” at the top and about 1” deep.

HEALTHY TIPS

WELLNESS

Celebrating

Curls

By Nayda Rondon naydarondon@sportsfitnesswellness.com

The Brazilian Blow Out has been raising some health and safety concerns lately, and salon owners and consumers nationwide are reporting negative effects from the fumes generated during the treatment.

Ouidad, “The Queen of Curl” with salon locations in New York and Los Angeles, has been fighting this issue for more than 25 years. Women don’t need to endanger their hair and health with harsh, dangerous chemicals to get gorgeous hair. “It has become a matter of life and death, and not just the risk of a bad hair day. Consumers need to be properly educated about the risks involved with these treatments, and to seek a safe solution,” says Ouidad.

Ouidad’s solution? The curl expert encourages women to embrace their natural hair texture and stand up to their curls.

It’s not as easy as it sounds, however. Most often women simply don’t know how to work with curly hair so it turns frizzy and unruly. But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to Ouidad. “The best way to make curls behave? Keep hair healthy!

I also recommend using a deep conditioning treatment on your hair every two weeks to ‘feed your hair’ and keep it strong, shiny and healthy,” she says.

Hydrated hair is the foundation and lifeline for curls. Let your curls dry naturally, with no heating tools. The less you handle or play with your hair, the better off you are. Don’t run fingers through it or touch it too much. Instead, try using the Ouidad Climate Control and Moisture Lock, Ouidad recommends. These products nourish your hair, tame frizz and smooth flyaway strands in any kind of weather.

Tips for Holiday Glam Curls Begin by shampooing and conditioning your hair with Ouidad Play Curl Shampoo and Conditioner.

While the hair is still wet, spritz with Ouidad Botanical Boost to preserve the moisture.

Follow by working Ouidad Tress F/X Gel throughout the hair.

Dry slightly with a blow dryer on medium heat and set your hair with medium heat rollers (Ouidad’s pick: Tourmaline Static Free Rollers). Set the top center row of the rollers going back all the way to the back of the head, and the sides of the head down.

When rollers cool, remove them from your hair.

Apply Ouidad Shine Glaze Serum to your palms and run your hands all over the set hair.

Use a natural bristle brush and brush your hair gently for a couple of minutes to relax the set.

Using your fingers, part your hair in the center to allow the flow of the set. Make sure to use fingers, not a comb; a comb will cause the hair to fan out.

Finish your holiday look with a touch of Ouidad Shine Glaze Serum. For an extra-special festive accent, add some beautiful accessories to your curly hair. For instance, turn a necklace into a headband for a novel touch of creative glam.

Did You Know?

Some hair-raising stats: • About 75% of women worldwide have naturally curly hair.

• A third of women say their hair is the most important part of their appearance, and they spend more time styling hair than doing their makeup.

• Women will spend two and a half years styling hair over a lifetime.
