What Kind of Footwear Should I be Using?

By Alexandra Picillo, DPT

What kind of footwear should I be using?

Here are some tips about your footwear:

In order to answer this question we need to look at several factors, with the most important being your running technique. Another factor to consider is the type of running you are looking to do (flat, terrain, track etc.), the amount of miles you put in during a given week, your body type, age, and physical condition. I believe it is best to go with comfort and what works best for your running style.

1. Industry wide, experts suggest that you say goodbye to your kicks after 300-500 miles of running (or 6 months depending on how much you are running). So put a date in your sneaker or on your calendar to properly track your sneakers retirement date.

Here is a good article regarding this topic: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/when-to-retire-a-running-shoe/ 2. When trying on your sneakers, ask if you can run in them.

Most good sneaker stores have a treadmill or will let you run outside with them. Walking around in them doesn’t give you much information and sneakers aren’t cheap!

3. Take a look at the bottom of your old pair of sneakers to see your wear pattern. This can give you or a professional a clue to your running technique and what kind of support you need.

4. Make sure the sneaker fits the width of your foot as well as the length. Most people just make sure the big toe has room, but see if you can slip a little space at the sides of your ankle as well.

5. Do not go by look! Yes the pink or purple ones look better, but you need to find the best sneaker for your foot and running style.

I think the health of your foot is more important.

Here is a great review of research about barefoot running and initial contact that shows there is less ground force with forefoot running. Again there is no real evidence yet that proves less injury occurs for either running technique: http://www.barefootrunning.fas.harvard. edu/4BiomechanicsofFootStrike.html

There has been quite a bit of attention towards barefoot and minimalist running in the past few years, however there is little evidence to support its effect on injury prevention. After reading several research articles and studies, it is unclear which footwear is most beneficial; barefoot, minimalist, or regular running sneakers. Even with the new advancements in sneaker technology and the minimalist running trend, there has not been a dramatic decrease in injury rates among runners. It is evident that running technique is an important factor. Runners who make initial contact at their heel are placing more force into their lower extremities compared to runners who adopt more midfoot (middle of your foot) or forefoot (front of your foot) strike patterns.

A forefoot running technique has been found to reduce eccentric muscle activity, which could minimize injuries such as “shin splints”. As a physical therapist and runner, I wanted to answer the following question:

Page 3

So what do you choose?

To make things simple I decided to go along with this initial contact theory, since it makes the most sense to me with my knowledge of kinesiology and biomechanics. I am a forefoot to midfoot runner and can basically wear any sneaker without having any issues. Studies show, if you make initial contact with your heel then you need more shock absorption at the heel of your shoe. If you are more of a midfoot to forefoot runner, then you would do well with a sneaker with more shock absorption in the forefoot. Simple! Right? If you have a flat foot then you should look for more stability in the arch of the foot. Since every foot is different it is not easy to give one answer. I believe that if you stick to the initial contact rule it will be easier to select a sneaker that works best for you.

I hope this has helped you gain a better idea of footwear and running techniques. I myself feel more confident when I purchase my next pair of sneakers after reading some of these studies. Good luck and many more healthy miles!

SHORE REGIONAL CLINCHES 44TH STRAIGHT DIVISION TITLE WITH 5-0 WIN OVER ST. ROSE

By: Mike Ready

OCEANPORT – Shore Regional tacked on another division championship to their mind-boggling streak of 44 straight division titles on Tuesday by defeating St. Rose of Belmar 5-0 at Coach Nancy Williams Field.

junior defenseman Annie Deusch added two assists, her seventh and eighth assists of the year.

Deusch – a 2013 second-team All-Shore selection - led a stifling defense that completely shut down the St. Rose offense while also gen-

The Blue Devils (12-1-2, 9-0), ranked No. 2 in the Shore Conference and eighth in the State, captured the Class B Central title in a dominating performance against the second place Purple Roses (9-3-3, 6-21), ranked ninth in the Shore.

“The girls are aware of the streak and they take it very seriously,” First year Shore Regional head coach Kelly Koenig said. “Every year there’s always an incredible amount of pressure for the team to continue on with the streak.

It’s about them working hard and taking pride in what they do and not taking anything they do for granted; I’m just really proud of them.”

Junior midfielder Jessica Welch – No. 1 in the Shore and second in the State in goals scored – caged three goals for the Blue Devils to give her 38 goals on the year, while senior forward Katie Mannino and junior midfielder Veronica Goldberg each scored a goal in the win.

Mannino’s goal gives her 17 on the year – second on the team – and

“The defense did a nice job today,” Koenig said. “They have great leaders back there to keep them organized defensively. Annie (Deusch) really responded to what I was asking her to do and made the adjustments we needed to make. She did a nice job distributing the ball on the counter attack in transition; she really stood out.”

The game was scoreless midway through the first half when Mannino caged the first goal of the game blasting a shot from about 15-feet out in front of the cage.

The first half ended 1-0, but if not for some stellar goal tending by St. Rose goalkeeper Katie Coakley – who stopped 10-shots on goal – Shore’s lead could’ve potentially been much larger.

erating Shore’s transition game with pin-point outlet passes up field.

Shore’s defense - which did not allow a shot on goal the entire game - also had outstanding play from a trio of senior defenders including Kristina Grigos, Olivia Barone and Liza Amador.

In the second half, the Blue Devils shots began to find the back of the cage as they continued to apply relentless pressure on goal.

Welch’s goal off a Deusch assist less than a minute into the second half opened the flood gates and ten minutes later Deusch found junior midfielder Veronica Goldberg open out in front for the goal to make it 3-0 at the 41:43 mark of the game.

Her third-goal of the game six minutes later capped the scoring handing the Blue Devils their twelfth win of the season.

Next on the list for the Blue Devils will be trying to keep their Shore Conference Tournament winning streak alive which now stands at 15 straight titles – 19 overall.

After that they’ll attempt to win their 25th NJSIAA State Sectional Championship then their second straight state group title - 14th overall in school history. If they survive all of that it’s on to the Tournament of Champions for a

chance to claim the No.1 ranking in the state.

“I definitely think we have the talent to be successful and to go far,” Koenig said. “It’s just putting all the pieces together at the right time and really peeking at the right point of the season.”

Five Blue Devil players have given verbal commitments to continue their education and play field hockey at the following schools: Junior midfielder Jessica Welch – Stanford University, senior forward Katie Mannino – Bucknell University, senior goalkeeper Sarah Dwyer – Boston College, junior center back Annie Deusch – Monmouth University and senior defender Liza Amador – Stockton College.

CENTRAL GOLDEN EAGLES FLYING HIGH

By Eric Braun

Bayville, NJ- Monmouth County sure has its share of perennial field hockey teams, but let’s not forget about the success that the Golden Eagles of Central Regional has been having over the past several years. For a program that has 11 Division titles, 1 Shore Conference Tournament Finalist, 3 State Finalist and 1 NJSIAA South Jersey Group III Title, this school from Bayville year-in and year-out gets little recognition.

This year’s squad is off to a flying start with an 11-1-1 record heading into the Shore Conference Tournament. During this stretch the Golden Eagles have compiled 7 shutouts, 53 goals for and only 7 against.

The lone loss for Central was their second game of the year against Lacey, losing 10-1.

Providing offense for the Golden Eagles are sophomore’s Madison Demand, Walker Lilian and junior Julia O’Connor and Jamie Corrigan. All four young ladies have the high powered Central offense firing on all cylinders at the right time of year. The past four games heading into Shore Conference Tournament play, the Golden Eagles have scored 27 goals.

The biggest jump in production from a year ago is the emergence of Demand who has quietly put together and All-Shore season. Coming into this year she had just 1 goal and 2 assists, she has surpassed that mark with 16 goals and 12 assists so far this season. Along with Demand the Rams are getting offensive points from Lilian (11 goals) and Corrigan (9 goals and 12 assists).

The Golden Eagles will look to continue their early success as they host the winner of Pinelands and Middletown South on October 21st in the first round of Shore Conference Tournament play. Central will look to get back to the SCT finals for the first time since 1990.

Along with Shore Conference play the Golden Eagles will look to hold onto their #3 seed in South Jersey Group III come NJSIAA playoffs starting in mid-November. It has been a while since Central hoisted the South Jersey Group III trophy and the hopes and teamwork are all there for this group to get back to the finals for the first time since 1999 and hopes to capture what would be their second NJSIAA title (1984).

EMOTIONS AND TEAMWORK HAVE RAMS OFF TO FAST START

By Eric Braun

Manahawkin, NJ- The Lady Rams from Southern Regional High School know all too well what it’s like to play with heavy hearts and emotions. A successful field hockey program year in and year out, the Rams were lead for the past 35 seasons

by Coach Kathy Snyder. This past winter, Coach Snyder passed away and it effected everyone in the Manahawkin area and Shore Conference, but mostly within the two programs she helped build into perennial powers field hockey and basketball.

Coming off a sub-par season for Rams standards at 10-5-2, this year’s group of young ladies has rallied around each other and first year head coach Jenna Lombardo to keep up the Rams winning tradition. After a pregame tribute to Coach Snyder on the opening day, the Rams opened their season with a 7-0 shutout win over Toms River East. With goals from Zoe Sparks (2), Madison Skeie (2), Chloe Courter (2) and Victoria Caiazzo (1), Southern Regional looked the dominant field hockey team it prided itself on over the years.

The Rams have opened their quest for Shore Conference Tournament, A South and NJSIAA tournament titles with an impressive record of 121. Southern has outscored their opponents with 56 goals for and 7 goals against seven of those games were shutouts. The Rams lone loss of the season was a 1-0 contest against Monmouth County power Freehold Borough.

Since that loss the Rams have rallied off a 6 game win streak. Beating Brick Memorial 2-1, it was Caiazzo and Winn scoring. Against Toms River East for the second time this year, it was Skeie and Winn leading the way with 3 goals apiece in route to a 9-2 victory. The Rams would get offense from everyone in a 5-1 win over Lacey with goals from Caiazzo, Courter, Skeie, Sparks and Winn. With wins against Toms River North and Toms River South this past week, it was Mary Conroy who would start to catch fire with 5 goals and 2 assists.

For first year coach Lombardo, she is getting production from all three lines. Senior Conroy leads the Rams in scoring this season with 12 goals and 7 assists. But it has been a balanced offensive attack with Conroy, Skeie, Keeley Winn and Sparks carrying the load for Lombardo.

Defensively the Rams leave very little space for opposing offenses to maneuver. Each player on defense compliments the other and the leadership and communication has been a key to their success.

Senior defender Victoria Caiazzo continues to be the on field leader and second coach’s voice that keeps the Rams defense clicking on all cylinders.

The loss of Coach Snyder is still felt throughout the Southern Regional community, but it is safe to say that she has left the program in great hands in Lombardo and the young ladies that play each and every minute for both of their coaches.

The Rams will open the Shore Conference Tournament play at home against the winner of Henry Hudson and Toms River South on October 21st. It will take a valiant team effort for the Rams to hoist the SCT trophy on November 1st, having to go through RFH, Freehold Boro or Shore Regional.

HALL OF FAME COACH NANCY WILLIAMS IS ADJUSTING TO LIFE AFTER FIELD HOCKEY

“The success of that team had nothing to do with my decision to retire,” Williams said. “I was pleasantly surprised with the team, but I knew going into that season that it would probably be my last regardless of how it worked out. That was a great way to end it, but it just happened to be that way. I’ve had a lot of great teams, so I would’ve had a lot of opportunities to go out on top – it just felt like the time was right.”

“It is different,” Williams admitted. “I do miss it, but it is nice to be able to do other things. I still get to games to see my niece (Shore junior midfielder Jessica Welch) play, but now I’m able to do things I was never able to do before because I’ve always coached. This is the first time I’ve been able to make my own schedule and do things on my own time.”

Shore Regional dominated the Shore Conference field hockey scene for decades winning 19 Shore Conference Tournament titles including the last 15 straight SCT championships.

Under her tutelage her teams went on to win 24 NJSIAA State Sectional Titles and 13 overall NJSIAA State Titles.

She was selected Coach of the Year at least 20 different times in her career including eight times by the Jersey Sporting News, which presented Williams with the “Jersey Award” for lifetime

“Jersey Sporting News has always done such a great job recognizing all sports both male and female,” Williams said. “It’s always an honor to be recognized by them and this award is special to me.”

“Professional Orthopaedics Associates was honored to sponsor Nancy Williams for the lifetime achievement award. Her long term success, dedicated to her student-athletes and her professionalism are beyond reproach.”

In all, Williams coached six different sports in three different seasons accumulating a staggering 1600-plus wins – all at Shore Regional. She was elected into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1995 and the NJSIAA Hall of Fame in 1993.

After the 2012-13 academic school year, Williams retired from teaching physical education and drivers education at Shore Regional, but stayed on to coach the 2013 season. As it turned out, that was her last and arguably her finest season ever, as the Blue Devils went 24-1-1 and won the NJSIAA Group I championship.

on the sidelines is listening to her yell constantly, any coach that’s coached against her that’s the first thing they’ll say. But kidding aside, the respect factor that all the coaches in the Shore have for her is off the charts. She’s a history maker to this sport as well as a leader to all the coaches, and we definitely look up to her. I wish she was still on the sidelines because I always learned stuff from her coaching against her.”

Williams legacy will live on every time the Blue Devil field hockey team takes the field for another game as the varsity field was renamed the “Coach Nancy Williams Field” last September in a dedication ceremony attended by current and past players, board of education members, school administrators and members of Williams family as well as her many friends.

“To be honest, when I found out it was a little uncomfortable,” Williams said. “I never expected anything like this and I was caught off guard. For the first time in my life I was at a loss for words. My name may be on the field, but it is because of the hard work and dedication of all the players who put on a Shore Regional uniform and picked up a stick and played for me. They played and won the games, not me.”

The toughest thing Williams had to leave behind as a coach was watching her players grow up.

“Their growth is not measured by the type of hockey player they are, but what type of person they turn out to be,” Williams believes. “When people look at the program, they see what the kids have done on the field. When I look at the program, I see how they’ve done off the field. To me, that’s been the greatest pleasure I’ve had coaching, watching them become the kind of people they are today; that’s the reward. I knew I was going to miss that part of coaching the most whether I quit this year or ten years from now.”

Even before the passing of Title IX in 1972, Williams had begun laying the ground work for the success of women’s athletics. She broke new ground fighting for equality in women’s sports by demanding ---and receiving--- comparable facilities and privileges for women.

Long Branch, NJ - After an utterly awful start to the game, the Long Branch Green Wave somehow managed to get the win against the Ocean Township Spartans. After letting an open kick off returned for a touchdown, the cheerleaders were the only ones smiling.

Photo By: Fran Attardi

The special teams of the Green Wave let this game get out of hand in the first few quarters. Getting an extra point was as hard as getting a touchdown for the Green Wave. 2 extra points were blocked early on and a rushed field goal went beyond wide left. At one moment the Green Wave went for a 2-point conversion instead of going for a simple extra point.

Yet, this team turned it around with a solid running performance. The bulk of this team’s offense was in the running game. This set up play actions that made receivers wide open. Some receivers were open by at least 15 yards. Quarterback Jordan Rodriguez spent most of the time scrambling from defenders trying to make a pass. The running game took some of the pressure off of him, but he still had to make a lot of plays with his feet.

A lot of the Green Wave comeback was in part to dropped passes on the Spartans side.

Kenny Pickett had a lot of zip on the ball. Apparently, he threw the ball too hard because of all the dropped passes from his receivers. In the pregame warm-ups, Pickett threw a lot of passes that were dropped. These weren’t outrageous finesses passes, these were simple point A to Point B passes and his receivers couldn’t get the job done.

In the end, the Green Wave won the game. But if someone on the Spartan’s side could catch the ball, this game could’ve gone a lot differently. The Green Wave have a great record, and if they could keep the pressure on in the run game they should be able to start a game ahead instead trying to play catch up.

KNIGHTS LOOK TO KEEP WINNING STREAK ALIVE

By Ella Brockway

WALL – Coach Nancy Gross is no stranger to success. In her 44th year in command of the Wall Township field hockey program, she has amassed over 500 wins since she took over in 1971. This 2014 season has seen the Crimson Knights record 15 wins, no losses and only one tie, and has certainly been one Gross will not forget.

“We have been working hard adjusting to the loss of 2 dominant players,” said Gross. “The girls are becoming comfortable with new positions and are building on their ability to read game situations.”

The Knights come off a 20-3 season in which they finished ranked #14 in the state. Since then, they have worked hard to improve, adjust and come back even better. Those results have been seen already, with Wall jumping to 10th place in the state Top 20 rankings.

As of October 17, the Knights also ranked 3rd in both the NJSIAA Group 3 standings and in the Shore Conference.

Despite what their record may show, every game has been a battle for the Knights. Their offense is one of the top and most talented ones in the state, thanks in part to co-captains Mary Cate Gallagher and Samantha Scire.

“I think we are having a really strong season so far, being undefeated,” said Scire, a junior forward and a Temple University commit. “We are working really well as a team this year.”

Scire has produced 28 goals and 8 assists, with at least one goal in thirteen out of sixteen games this year. The junior had a season high of five goals scored in an October 2nd game against Colts Neck. Scire’s powerful shots off of corners are executed with so much power that the ball often ricochets off the back of the goal after a score.

Also contributing on the offense are juniors Bernadette Crehan and Emily Surgent. Crehan has scored 18 goals this season, and Surgent has tallied 16 assists.

Lone senior Mary Cate Gallagher provides experience, strength, and lots of goals from the forward line on this team. Gallagher’s strong shot has scored 21 goals and 9 assists this season, including two in a huge game on October 6 against Freehold Township that changed the pace of the game for the Knights.

“Now, we are preparing for the tougher games the Shore Conference Tournament will bring,” said Gallagher. “As a team, a big goal for us will be winning the Central Jersey Group 3. This year, we really hope to establish ourselves in a bigger division.”

In Wall’s closest game, against one of the toughest opponents in Shore Conference field hockey in Freehold Township, the Knights pulled together to score two goals in the second half to finish in a tie. Second half performances have been the key for this team, scoring three or more goals after halftime in ten games.

“The Freehold Township game was a ‘wake up call’,” said Gross. “The team now realizes that every game is important, is a challenge, and they have to put forth a total effort every game.”

Junior goalie Laird Dunn spearheads the Knights defense with 41 saves on the year, and has helped the team win eight games without allowing an opposing goal.

As the regular season comes to a close, tournament time awaits for this Wall team, and when it arrives, they will be prepared.

“I believe we have the skill to accomplish our goals,” said Gallagher. “Now, we just need to focus all of our energy on winning.”

The 15-0-1 Wall Crimson Knights will take on Middletown South at home on October 20th.

RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN REMAINS UNDEFEATED AS SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT APPROACHES By: Mike Ready

RUMSON – The Bulldogs field hockey team picked up its thirteenth win of the season with one game left to play in its regular season schedule before Shore Conference Tournament games begin this weekend. RumsonFair Haven is ranked No.1 in the Shore Conference and seventh in the State and should be awarded the No.1 seed in the SCT.

Wednesday at Borden Field in Rumson.

Junior midfielder Madison Maguire caged three goals for the Bulldogs (13-0-2, 11-0) while freshman center forward Lilly Croddick had two goals and senior center forward and captain Payton McCauley added one goal in their 6-0 defeat of Monmouth Regional (5-12-1)

“Madison generates an awful lot of offense for us,” Rumson-Fair Haven head coach Julie Vaccarelli said. “She plays both ends of the ball really well and if she does lose the ball she tackles back and wins it right back; she’s a very strong player on both sides of ball and a leader.”

Maguire - a University of Maryland recruit - also registered an assist, giving her 28 goals and 11 assists on the year which ranks her 10th in the state in goals scored and second in the Shore Conference – tied with Wall’s Samantha Scire.

With two and a half minutes gone in the first half Maguire got Rumson on the board to take an early 1-0 lead for the only score they would need in the game.

The Bulldogs did appear a bit flat in the half and struggled to get any consistent offensive flow going as the two teams traded possessions without much action around the cage.

“I think we did come out a little flat today,” Vaccarelli said.

“When you’re closing out the regular season that happens, and we warned them about it.

We were definitely disappointed with the first half but we came back much stronger in the sec-

ond half with a sense of urgency which we need going into the post season.”

Croddick’s two goals towards the end of the half gave the Bulldogs a 3-0 halftime lead and pretty much set the stage for the second half of play. Those two goals give the outstanding freshman phenom 18 goals on the year – second on the team.

Monmouth had only two shots on goal in the game and only one real scoring opportunity which came at the 18:30 mark of the first half when Falcons junior forward Natalie Johnson blistered a shot on goal that Bulldog goalkeeper Anna Babiak turned away with an excellent pad save.

The defense, led by Villanova commit and captain Katie Ebner, completely shut down Monmouth’s attack in the second half including five minutes in the half in which they were down a player after a yellow card was called on Croddick.

Experienced senior defender Molly Lake also played a solid game in the backfield for the Bulldogs.

Senior forward and captain Payton McCauley caged the first goal of the second half at the 24:29 mark and Maguire registered a short-handed goal at 19:42 to give the Bulldogs an in surmountable 4-0 lead.

RFH’S #20 CATIE EBNER Photo By: Fran Attardi Maguire finished off the scoring four minutes later to cap off a much improved secondhalf of play by the Bulldogs.

Rumson was upset in the semifinals of last season’s SCT by Freehold Boro so the Bulldogs aren’t taking anything for grant it in this year’s tournament.

“What we have to be careful of is we can’t just expect to be in the finals,” Vaccarelli said. “We have to work our way there, and there’s a lot of great teams in the Shore Conference. And if we do get into the finals that’s going to be a battle, nothing is going to be handed to us and we need to understand we have to work hard for everything. It’s taking it one game at a time and outworking the other team.”

Ocean Girls Soccer Having Super Season

By Michael Rogers

The Ocean girls soccer team is off to a 15 win and 5-loss season so far this spring and they have earned the number ranking in the Shore Conference. The Lady Spartans earned a split this week by losing two tough games and bouncing back and winning two games. With the season ending with a very tough 1-0 loss to a very good Wall team, Ocean will now concentrate on the Shore Conference Tournament and State Tournament.

Ocean finished their season with a hard fought 1-0 loss to Wall (13-3) as in the 83rd minute in double overtime Abby Sprengel scored the winning goal for Wall. Allyson Chomsky did an outstanding job in goal making 13 saves in the game for Ocean. Ocean also lost to Colts Neck by the score of 6-1 as the Lady Spartans just did not play as well as they are capable of with MaKayla Conti scoring the only Ocean goal. Chomsky made 8 saves in goal for the Lady Spartans.

In Ocean’s two victories this week, they easily defeated Long Branch 5-0 on goals from Michelle Fahey (2 goals) and Alex Pickett, Sam DaCruz, and Abby Lewis each scored a goal for Ocean.

Chomsky made 1 save in the shutout. In another shutout, Ocean defeated Red Bank Regional by the score of 4-0 with Tracy Raccioppi scoring two goals. Raccioppi leads the team in scoring with 18 goals while Pickett has added 10 goals and 10 assists. Goalie Chomsky has been fantastic in goal all season making 83 saves.

SHORE REGIONAL ONCE AGAIN IN CONTROL OF B-CENTRAL

By Eric Braun

Middletown, NJ- The game did not start out great for the Shore Regional Blue Devils, but at the end of the day a win is a win. Mater Dei who entered the football game as the #1 team in B-Central with a record of 4-1 (3-0 conference) was looking to make this contest personal and a first in eight years.

For the past couple of years Shore Regional has owned the division and more importantly the past eight years they have owned the Seraphs from Mater Dei. The last time the Seraphs beat Shore Regional was in 2006. Since then the Blue Devils have had their way with the Seraphs, winning by an average of 36 points during this run.

MATER DEI PREP #7 CHRISTIAN PALMER Photo By: Eric Braun

This year however the Seraphs came out ready to play and ran the ball with some consistency early.

Senior quarterback Christian Palmer was the Seraphs offensive player of the game, using the combination of his big arm and quarterback runs. Their offense was on track with great chemistry in the first quarter taking an 8-0 lead on a Tysaun White 11 yard scramble and a Palmer run on the two-point conversion. This would be the last time the Seraphs would see the endzone, as Shore coach Mark Costantino and company regrouped.

For Shore Regional it was mental mistakes on and off the ball that allowed Mater Dei to stay in the contest, but a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter were enough for the win.

Deciphering Food Labels: What Qualifies as Organic or Natural?

In a previous post, I discussed the truth about whole grains (add link when published) and explained what to look for in the food label. The word “whole” must appear in the first ingredient, like whole grain, whole wheat or stone-ground whole.

on the food label. This means the product contains only organic ingredients.

If the word “whole” doesn’t appear until the second ingredient, that product could contain as little as one percent of whole grain. It’s almost like the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has created gigantic loopholes that food manufacturers drive through like a runaway truck.

If the food label says “made with organic ingredients,” only 70 percent of the ingredients must be organic.

If the food label just says “organic” without “100%” in front of it, 95 percent of the ingredients must be organic.

Dr. Proodian That doesn’t sound very natural to me.

Another misleading and misunderstood term is “freerange,” which basically means eggs are produced by chickens that are allowed to roam outside a bit instead of being confined to a cage 24 hours a day.

USDA regulations don’t define the quality or size of the outdoor environment or the minimum time that the chickens must spend outside.

Food labeling is overwhelming and confusing, which makes it difficult for us to evaluate food products and determine what we should be consuming and feeding to our children.

“Cage-free” is even worse. That means the chickens released from their cages may only be permitted to roam inside barn without ever seeing the light of day. Again, the USDA doesn’t set standards for the quality or size of the roaming area or the time spent outside of the cage.

I wish it was as simple as it was 200 years ago. Before the industrial revolution, you really didn’t need food labels.

All food was organic because that’s the way it was naturally designed. Food was grown in non-contaminated soil, harvested and eaten before it spoiled.

These are just a few examples of the little nuances that the USDA throws at us – nuances that food manufacturers love because they can market products in a misleading way. The majority of the U.S. population knows nothing about these distinctions.

Today, you have to understand how the government regulates food labels in order to determine whether a food product purchased in a store is truly organic.

I’m guessing you’ve probably purchased food products because they were marketed as “natural” or “all-natural.”

Obviously, we can’t depend on the government to make things easy for us, and we can’t depend on food manufacturers to be straight with us. We need to take it upon ourselves to read labels, understand what they mean and make smart choices.

According to the USDA, these products don’t contain any artificial ingredients or preservatives. However, food products that include “natural” or “all-natural” in the ingredients list on the label can contain antibiotics, growth hormones and other additives.

If you see a food label that you find misleading, do some research and educate yourself before you put unhealthy substances in your body and your children’s bodies. If you have any questions about food labels, please email me at jproodian@naturalhc.com.

First, let’s define the word “organic.” Organic food is free of antibiotics, hormones, genetic engineering, genetic modification, radiation, and synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

If you want to purchase organic foods, which I highly recommend, “100% organic” must be the first words you see

Asbury Park Defeats Keyport

By Michael Rogers

The Asbury Park football team (1 win and 4 losses) earned their first victory of the season over Keyport (1 win and 4 losses) by the score of 35 to 14. Quarterback Sal Swain threw 3 touchdown passes in the victory as the Blue Bishops jumped out to a 24 to 0 lead and held on for the win.

Asbury Park got on the scoreboard first when running back Trey Saunders scored on an 18-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Swain then found Bam Stephens on a 35-yard touchdown pass. Also in the first half Swain found Devon Thompson on a 16-yard touchdown pass. Before the first half was over Karon Rigby scored on a 2 yard touchdown run making the score 24 to 0 at halftime.

For Keyport, Chase Bright caught a 20-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Des Underwood to get the Red Raiders on the scoreboard. Swain then threw his third touchdown pass of the game, a 4 yard touchdown toss to Charles Sanders putting Asbury Park ahead 31 to 7 before Underwood closed out the scoring on a 20 yard touchdown run making the final score 31 to 14.

Asbury Park will look to win their second game in a row next week as they face Dunellen while Keyport will travel to play at Spotswood.

IS MY CHILD TOO YOUNG TO WEIGHTLIFT I hear this question a lot as a coach, and my response comes from 30 years of working with kids, and from staying current with research. The perception lingers that weightlifting can stunt a child's growth, but this notion exists mainly out of ignorance, by both the public and many doctors who have no formal education or experience with sports or sports training. Many times I have heard people make ridiculous claims without any concrete evidence to support their ideas. In addition, the media is also to blame for their inappropriate imaging and branding. However, I am here to tell you that as soon as your child stands on his or her own they are weight training.

In my view, repetitive basic body movements can offer a positive training effect in terms of strength for kids of a very young age. Toddlers are perfect little movement machines. Ever watch a baby squat to pick something up?

The very act of picking up toys and household items is a kind of weightlifting.

Playtime of an hour a day is often enough exercise and training for kids between ages 1 and 5. At 5, however, children can follow directions, and this is the time that structure can be added. Gymnastics taught by a professional coach will help a lot during these years, as will pull-ups and dips for upper body strength, and more explosive activities like jumping

SHORE REGIONAL ONCE AGAIN IN CONTROL OF B-CENTRAL Continued from page 11

Shore got on the board when Doug Goldsmith powered his way through the center of the Mater Dei defense for a three yard score to get Shore with in 8-7 midway through the second quarter. It would be Goldsmith again with just over a minute remaining in the half that would score again from three yards out to put Shore up for good at 14-8. This was the return for the junior running back and linebacker Goldsmith, who had been sidelined with and early season injury. Not a bad return to the lineup, compiling 141 yards on the ground and 4 tackles on defense.

Shore will now take on Point Beach on Halloween night for the B-Central division and a shot at another NJSIAA Central Jersey Group I run again this year.

Currently the Blue Devils sit atop the BCentral division with a record of 4-1 (3-0 conference) with Point Beach 4-2 (3-0 conference) and Mater Dei Prep 4-2 (3-1 conference).

I also am experimenting with wrestling, as kids are ready to try.

Trying to push someone of equal weight off of you as they resist is definitely lifting weights, without the use of barbells. If you want to introduce equipment for the 5-10 age range, you can use light dumbbells, kettle bells, medicine balls, bosu balls, physio-balls, balance boards and discs. Beware though that light rubber

By the time children reach 9 or 10, they should be ready for traditional barbells, starting with the lightest, which is 15 pounds.

Even so, the most important piece of equipment is the human body. More to come on this in my next article for Middle and High School. Remember that training for young children should always be safe and FUN!!

Halloween is coming, so try to eat your fill of fruit, nuts, and dark chocolate. Dark chocolate offers the athlete the benefits of good anti-oxidants while most candy is filled with crap that will clog your sports engine. I still nibble on some of my favorite childhood favorites, but in small amounts. If I'm going to cheat, I eat something like Virginia Cocktail Peanuts (the best peanuts in the world) covered in dark chocolate. So beware……Happy Halloween!!!

I personally want to apologize to my readers for missing a month of education news, but I am in a tough spot right now with my MVA injuries and am spending massive amount of time going to doctors and therapists.

No excuses, though, because I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will take more than a car accident to keep me from educating people on these very important subjects!!!!!!!!!

The play of the game rested on the decision of Coach Costantino with 2 minutes

(plyometrics on a soft surface) for lower body strength. Depending on the individual it could also be time to work with a CSCS who has experience with kids. The MOST IMPORTANT thing for this age group is the capacity to follow instructions for safety reasons. My 5 year old has just started to show that he will follow instructions in my program, so I have developed an age appropriate power, agility, strength, speed and flexibility program. The professional has to take great care in assigning appropriate load assignment for young children. When he throws medi-ball, he throws a 1 or 2 pound ball rather than a 4-6 pound one; he jumps on a 6 inch box versus a 12 inch box; he pushes a 15 pound sled rather than a 30 pound sled; he does 3 pull-ups versus 10; he will run 20 yard sprints rather than 40 yard ones. The use of a high rep (10 or more) and short rest (1 minute or less) up-tempo workout will increase bone, tendon, and ligament strength while stimulating growth hormone.

This game meant more to the Mustangs this night, more than any other season game they have played in. They were not only playing for themselves last night, they were playing and fighting for a young child sitting in the stands, Irelyn Maloney, a 5 year old girl with a rare autoimmune disorder.

Irelyn was the Mustangs honorary captain for the night and was the girl’s biggest motivation during the game. Not only did this factor into the Mustangs play, but it was also their senior night. With all the pressures of little soccer players watching, parents cheering proudly and fans screaming over the Brick Memorial vs Brick rivalry, the girls were challenged to keep their heads in the game and focus on the task at hand.

As the Mustangs warmed up for the game, Irelyn ran around giving the team high fives and energy, enough for them both to feed off of during the 90 minutes of soccer. This 5 year old loves soccer, and with the conditions she undergoes on weekly bases, the Mustangs and Dragons wanted to make this soccer experience the best for her.

With both sides of Brick working together they

managed to have a large crowd attend the game wearing purple, Irelyn’s favorite color, to really make her smile.

The Mustangs had a limo pick up Irelyn and her family, take them out to dinner, and bring them back for the game, where Irelyn walked out onto the field with Mustang captains, Samantha Lederle, Madison Farley, Ciara Korber and Jenna Wallace. Irelyn called the coin toss for the Mustangs and turned for an everlasting picture with both team’s captains.

on this night by leaving everything they had on the field after 90 minutes. Some players remarks were, “Senior night verse Old Brick, what more could we ask for.” When the two sides of Brick play each other in any sport you know you are in for a good game, this was no exception. Yellow cards, fouls, tough tackles, you name it and it was in this clash of teams. Memorial came out victorious with their lone goal by senior Farley late in the second half.

Head coach Billy Caruso chose an emotional game to have his seniors honored, but the timing was just right. Senior night reminds athletes

When asked after the game, one of Memorial’s captains Samantha Lederle, said, “This little girl reminded me why I began playing soccer to begin with. She brings back the enjoyment and love for the game that I feel many teen athletes lose as they develop. As difficult as things may get I will remember Irelyn and her smile, which will help me push through. As happy as we hoped to make her tonight, she has made us.” Irelyn Maloney left the EMAIL Brick Memorial vs. Brick game that night with a jsnattardi@msn.com number 31 Mustangs jersey and pictures with all the girls and coaches, but the real winners of the game were all those who PHONE met her that night. No one will 732-610-1151 forget their encounter with brave Irelyn that night.

that it is almost time for college, and almost time to open the next chapters of their lives. This fires the seniors up and motivates them to end their high school years on a high note. Memorial did just that.

This game of emotions and character served as an end to these senior girls playing each other, but you can see the heart, sweat and tears that both sides put forward, as Brick Township and Brick Memorial went head to head, up for every ball, and through every shot. If you were to ask these girls why they fight so hard, their responses last night would surely be, for the love of the game.

SJV’S #6 ZACHARY RICHARDS Photo By: Ken Cook

This past week St. John Vianney lost a tough 1 to 0 decision in double overtime to Manasquan (9-7-1).

HUSNI LEADS MARINERS OVER RAIDERS

By Eric Braun

Toms River, NJ- Toms River North entered the season with a predominantly young football team and a second year coach who is realistically in his first full season as head coach. The Mariners are quickly finding themselves in Dave Oizerowitz’s system and have rebounded to a 4-2 overall record and 3-2 in A South.

Coming off a disappointing 2013 campaign where the Mariners went 1-9 and struggled to produce much offense, this year’s groups have matured with experience and toughness and are heading in the right direction on both sides of the ball. Offensively Toms River North is averaging 37 points per game and giving up only 17.

This maturity was evident early Friday night when the Mariners hosted cross-town rival Toms River East. The Raiders jumped on the Mariners early when Nick Grande scrambled 40 yards for the opening score after a strip fumble and then a 20-yard field goal by Hunter Gibbons.

continue to build. Coach Oizerowitz has the Mariners focused and competing in a strong A South division once again.

After tough losses to Brick Memorial (16-14) and Jackson Memorial (35-7), Toms River North holds its own NJSIAA destiny in their hands as they finish out their regular season against Southern, Brick Twp. and Neptune.

From that point on the Mariners offense woke up and erupted for five straight scoring drives to put the contest away. Once the Mariners went to their spread offense and let their playmakers do their thing, there was no stopping them. Sophomore quarterback Michael Husni and junior running back Asanate Moorer combined for 563 yards of total offense.

It would be the legs of both Husni’s and Moorer that would get the Mariner going. After spotting East a 9-point lead, Moorer erupted for a 40-yard touchdown run and 20 yard receiving touchdown. But it was the late touchdown runs from Husni that would bury the Raiders for good. Late in the first half with the Mariners offense now clicking, Husni scrambled for two scores of 48 and 1 yard touchdown runs. Husni would add to his impressive quarterback scrambles with a third quarter run of 72 yards.
