The first step in this process is to ask yourself a simple but important question: Why do I want to be in …

Daily Voice Autos: Route 23 Auto Mall's Scott Barna Walks On The Wild Side BUTLER, N.J. -- For Scott Barna, President of Route 23 Auto Mall in Butler, it’s all about getting out there. When he’s not helping customers into their car of their dreams, you can find the lifelong North Jersey resident exploring the acres of forest surrounding his Ringwood home. “I love hunting and just being outdoors,” said Barna. For Barna, getting his escape is as simple as driving one of his ATVs or dirt bikes right off his property and disappear into the vast wilderness. Most mornings, he’s up at 4:30 a.m. to explore Ringwood State Park and Ramapo Mountains' nearly 4,500 acres that…

The pain can vary from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that makes it difficult to move. Back pain can be caused by a sudden injury or can develop slowly over time without an obvious source. "Lifting the wrong way, repetitive strenuous activities, excess body weight that puts added stress on the back, and even sitting for long periods of time can lead to back pain or make an existing problem worse," explains Dr. Bernard Rawlins, a spine surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery in Ma…

In youth leagues, catchers may experience more pain in their kneecaps. At the professional level, there are more meniscus injuries and fewer kneecap injuries, as players with kneecap issues can’t catch for very long.
