So is my mayor stuff.” For now, it’s the first milestone of perhaps others. “It’s really great,” Mosca said. “I told them it was fun to win 100 with them, The girls are very close and fun to coach. There is no drama.” How can there be drama when there’s no time to do anything else?

Continued from Page 9 “We played both of those teams close,” Mosca said. “I think we’re playing really well now. We weren’t playing well in the beginning of the season, but we turned things around.” The Golden Bears are now playing for a higher seed in the NJSIAA North Jersey Section 2, Group II playoffs. They are currently projected to be a No. 5 seed and getting a home game in the playoffs, a total rarity. They also have a shot of qualifying for the Bergen County Tournament, another goal. Mosca is the father of six children. He also added another role to his resume, that being the mayor of Rochelle Park, where he resides. Mosca took office Jan. 2 and he has already presided over three council meetings. “I like it,” Mosca said. “I didn’t know if I’d like it, but I really do. I’m a people person and I’m getting to meet new people. I didn’t want to be a mayor with everything

DeLuca Vision Consultants Presented by Joseph A. DeLuca, M.D., F.A.C.S. MID-LIFE VISION CHANGES
Many stories exist concerning what happens to your body when you turn 40, and most of them are disagreeable at best. However, there are changes that occur as we approach “middle age” that should be addressed as early as possible, and they include deviations in eye health. The inability to focus on close-up objects usually begins around this time of life. If you’re a contact lens wearers, changing your lens prescription is an easy fix for the problem. If you find yourself pushing restaurant menus farther and farther away to read them, multifocal contact lenses may be the solution. These lenses are similar to trifocal glasses in that they have multiple vi-
sion ranges and allow for more natural vision. Presbyopia can be frustrating and it causes a lot of people to drop out of contact lenses. Multifocal contact lenses exist to help people in their presbyopic years continue to enjoy the convenience of contact lenses while still being able to see clearly in the distance and up close. To schedule an appointment, please call 201-896-0096. We are located at 20 Park Avenue, Lyndhurst. To reach our optical shop, call 201-896-0007. We accept most insurance. P.S. Presbyopia occurs as we age because the crystalline lenses in our eyes become stiffer and less able to adapt to different distances.
