DePaul Catholic High School president says the pontiff has a very demanding schedule for an 85-year-old.
Pope Benedict XVI's resignation Monday came as a shock to local Catholic leaders. "If you could imagine someone making international trips and have a full schedule everyday, you can see how that schedule would weigh on anyone, never mind an 85-year-old," said the Rev. Mike Donovan, president of DePaul Catholic High School. "After much prayer and contemplation, he determined that this was the best thing to do for himself and, more importantly, the best thing for his church." Benedict is the first pope to resign the office in 600 years. Gregory XII in 1415 was the last pope to resign before Benedict. Benedict, born Joseph Ratzinger, was appointed to lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics in 2005. "There was some discussion that John Paul …

Local athletic officials weigh in on the way coaches, officials, and players approach concussions in youth sports.
Football, and youth and high school sports, are a way of life for hundreds of Wayne kids. The increasing awareness of the dangers of concussions to those kids had led some to say they wouldn’t let their children play football. President Barack Obama recently told The New Republic that he would “have to think long and hard” before letting his son play football. But football isn’t the only sport whose athletes are at risk of sustaining serious head injures. “It’s the nature of all sports. Once you put the word ‘competition’ in front of it there’s a risk that something may happen,” said John Lennon, athletic director of DePaul Catholic High School. “It is a remarkable thing, the care that’s been taken by athletic companies, helmet …

Residents expressed concern at a meeting Wednesday that the project could negatively affect their quality of life.
The township will apply for a $1.5 million grant from the state Green Acres program to help create athletic fields on a 12-acre tract of land near DePaul Catholic High School near Hamburg Turnpike. The council approved the application at a public meeting Wednesday. The township purchased the land for $4.5 million in 2006. Authorities want to install new athletic fields on the property because they had to close the ones down at Sheffield Park on Farmingdale Road due to excessive flooding. The town received a $200,000 grant in December from the Passaic County Open Space Fund to help finance the project. Some residents who live near the property expressed concern at the meeting that the project would increase traffic in the area and that …
