Penalties called on 18 plays during the game
The Wayne Valley Indians fell to the Ramapo Raiders Friday night in a rough game that included penalties called on 18 plays. Just 19 seconds into the game, captain Doug Norkett charged 27 yards for the Raider's first touchdown, followed by a field goal by kicker Tim Sternfield. The rest of the first quarter remained scoreless, except for a second goal kicked by Sternfield. The second quarter began with the Indians in possession of the ball. After they made a successful series of carries down the field, Wayne Valley quarterback Mike Eckrote threw a touchdown pass to Luke Primerano. With just a few minutes left in the half, Ramapo quarterback Ryan Dougherty twice failed to connect a pass to Norkett. After a short carry, Dougherty made third …

The students finished their high school careers with a 4.0 grade point averages. “It’s one thing to receive an 'A' in a course but it is something else entirely when a student accomplishes what these students have,” said Kate Kay, supervisor of the school’s guidance department. “Not only are these students involved in the most aggressive, rigorous courses of study a lot of them are athletes and involved in several extra-curricular activities as well.” The following students were inducted: Megan Bellardini Nicole Bertolino Joseph Brady Gregory Buonpastore Haley Butterfass Lauren Bylinski Nicholas Colazzo Cody D’…

Psychologist speaks at high schools about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
Laugh at a joke. Take up long-distance running. Love someone — a boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, or grandfather. Do anything. Just don’t take drugs. Matt Bellace spoke to Wayne high school students Tuesday about the need for children to experience a natural high. The same type of chemical reaction that comes from smoking marijuana or snorting cocaine can be achieved by running for 45 minutes, loving someone, or laughing. Drugs rob students of their innocence and cause them to make unwise decisions, Bellace said. “You’ll never hear anyone say anything intelligent after: ‘Man, I was so wasted last night’,” Bellace said. Bellace spoke at Wayne Hills, Wayne Valley, and DePaul Catholic high schools. Bellace is a clinical neurological …

Students would receive more than 1,000 additional hours of instructional time per class every school year.
Implementing an eight-period day and decreasing the number of credits high school students would need to graduate were discussed at a special board of education meeting Tuesday evening. Principals Scot Beckerman and Robert Reis spoke to the board about the possible change. “It helps the students on the lower end of the spectrum, it doesn’t hurt the students on the upper end of the spectrum because those students are still going to take a full load of courses,” Beckerman, principal of Wayne Hills High School, said. The board is considering the move from a nine-period long day to an eight in order to cut costs due to a 2 percent increase cap on public budgets imposed by state legislators earlier this year. Beckerman presented the board with …
