Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • February 17, 2010 Upper Saddle River First Women’s Biathlon to benefi t breast cancer research The Upper Saddle River Recreation Commission is sponsoring the First Wom- en’s Biathlon on Saturday, May 8. The run/ bike/run event will promote awareness and raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The race is the brainchild of Upper Saddle River residents Fiona Miesner and Carol Mateo, both of whom are active participants in community and athletic events. The race is for women ages 15 years and older and will start and finish at Lion’s Memorial Park in Upper Saddle River. The race will consist of a two-mile run followed by a 10-mile bike followed by another two- mile run. This sprint distance course hopes to encourage first-timers and seasoned professionals. “The Women’s Biathlon helps women set an exercise goal and achieve it,” said Miesner. “With the women in Upper Saddle River and neighboring towns so active, we anticipate a sellout event even in our first year.” The race will be capped at 200 partici- pants. Each athlete will be asked to raise $150 in sponsorship fees, all of which will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The entry fee is $50. A series of training clinics will be scheduled prior to race day. The first USR Women’s Biathlon Train- ing Clinic will be held Thursday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. at TYD running store at Tice’s Mall. All interested individuals are encour- aged to attend. Trainers and outfitters will be on site to answer any questions and offer training advice.

The matching grant requires the borough to provide the other half of the funds for the project, and those funds have been included in the budget, according to Ho-Ho-Kus Bor- ough Administrator Don Cirulli. The bor- ough also requested a grant from FEMA. The North Field is the key to the local flood mitigation plan. The field will be used as a retention area for storm water until the water can drain into the Saddle River. The project, which was drawn up by Borough Engineer David Hals, includes soil erosion and sediment control, and the addition of a gravel walking path that will allow water to ( percolate into the ground. An engineering error made in the 1930s reportedly exacerbated the area’s flooding problem, since the culverts at Route 17 and West Saddle River Road were installed at the same elevation. This situation causes the local stream to fill with silt. The North Field, which has been owned by the board of education since 1966, is maintained by the borough. In the 1970s, plans for a multi-sport complex and park- ing at the field were drawn up, but no action was taken. In 1978, the school board agreed to lease several acres at the north end of the field to the borough, and the tennis courts were constructed. Current state regulations preclude the reconstruction of the courts at that location. ���������������������������� K EANE F IT & W ELLNESS Sheila Keane ������������������������������������ �������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������� FEBRUARY SPECIAL ������������������ ������� ��������������������������������������� • EDUCATED - MA in exercise science • CERTIFIED - Post ACSM, NASM, Pos Rehab Specialist, MAT Specialist • EXPERIENCED - 15 years one-to-one personal training 201-341-0183 • C ALL N OW Fitness, Weight Loss, Bariatrics, Geriatrics & Parkinson’s Programs
