Teens Aim High in Natural High Contest
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2011
17-year-old Sam Cook gets high from cooking deliciously scrumptious meals. Playing over 12 different instruments sends 13-year-old Emily Grether in to a harmonious state of bliss. With his love of swimming, 16-year-old Pau Vilchez aspires to one day beat Michael Phelps. Aside from being exceptionally driven and remarkably zealous, these young people have something else very special in common. They’ve all made a choice and a lifestyle; the decision to pursue their passion over drugs, a reflection of the powerful message that was recently proclaimed in this school year’s 2010-2011 Natural High Contest. With winners from California, New York, Oregon, Colorado and Virginia, Sam, Pau and Emily are just three of six teens whose entries blew the socks off the judges.
Sponsored by Natural High®, producers of NATURALHIGH.TV and the educational Natural High® DVD Series, the national contest asked young people to express via video, picture or essay their Natural High and how using drugs and alcohol could keep them from pursuing their Natural High to the fullest. A Natural High is an activity, art form, or sport that one loves to do, makes them feel good inside, and does not involve drugs and alcohol. The contest was promoted in schools, on naturalhigh,org, and social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. “Natural High has really made me think about the world of drugs and how bad they hurt people, plus how important it is to have a Natural High,” says Taylor Janovicz winner of the Middle School Poster Art Category. “My friends and peers started to think about it too when they heard I won the contest.”
The winning video in the High School Video Category was a group entry belonging to Sam Cook, Jack Parzaile, and Brica Lampe, from San Diego, California. “This was an interesting project,” shares Jack Parziale. “Most of my friends are abusing drugs in some way. But, when they saw what I accomplished through the rejection of drugs, they really respected that. That felt really good.” Their teacher, Mark Raines, Coordinator of Envision Cinema at Canyon Crest Academy, encourages his students to take part in the contest every year and has successfully taught them how to produce both superior films and a high quality message.
High School and Middle School students showcased their Natural High for a shot at winning $ 250 to put towards furthering their Natural High aspirations. Taylor’s Natural High is a club she belongs to called “The Outkastz”. She plans to use her prize money to take all the members to an amusement park. Anna Sisson, Winner of the Middle School Essay Category, plans to use her money on new running shorts, tennis shoes, and sporting equipment, to feed her thrills on softball, cross country and wrestling. Momentum for living a Naturally High lifestyle will not slow down however. Natural High® plans to provide more chances to win at this summer’s Van’s Warped Tour, where youth can draw and share their Natural Highs at the Los Angeles, Carson, Pomona, and Ventura shows.

A Local South Florida Business is ‘Picking-up the Tab’ for a Summer Camp Dedicated to Protecting and Empowering Youth
West Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) June 02, 2011
For nearly 15 years, two local Palm Beach county organizations have been stepping up to protect, fight for and make stronger families in our community – one through the empowerment of young lives and the other through protecting the rights of guardians and adults suddenly placed in a tough spot.
When Stellar Kids Inc. non-profit founder, Coach John Mistretta wanted to reach out to a local business for help this summer, to afford more parents’ struggling financially a safe and inspiring place to send their kids, he decided to call one of the most recognizable business names in the market. When asked why he reached out to the personal injury law firm of Steinger, Iscoe & Greene, Mistretta said, “Years ago I visited Steinger & Iscoe to see about an accident. I left with some advice and did not pursue the legal matter, but everyone was very helpful and considerate. Fast-forward 13 years, when I started thinking of contacting a local business for help I remembered my experience with their firm.”
Over the last 10 years that Coach John has been organizing and running Stellar Kids Camp, he has witnessed firsthand the effect that the economy has had not only on families, but also on charitable giving and especially on the children whose lives are directly impacted. “There was a need for help and though lots of law firms talk a good commercial, I knew Steinger, Iscoe & Greene had heart. It turned out that they were looking just as hard for me as I was for them – that we found each other is a product of my experience, persistence, and their compassion. They recognized the chance to directly impact our community, anyone and everyone eligible for help, in the most important area – child care and development,” says Coach John.
While Coach John was preparing to contact the law firm with his request for support on behalf of parents and kids in need, Michael Steinger, heading into his 15th year as founding partner of Steinger, Iscoe & Greene law firm, was discussing ideas and options as to how the firm’s charitable resources could genuinely and most effectively benefit lives in the community. The meeting of the minds happened only weeks later and after hearing each others’ unique convictions toward helping the community at large, with children’s needs always at the forefront, Steinger and Mistretta became partners in a great endeavor to impact lives.
Thanks to Steinger, Iscoe & Greene Injury Lawyers, this summer’s leasing expense for Stellar Kids Camp is no longer limiting Coach John’s vision to positively impact more children’s lives. 100% of the $ 10,000 contribution by Steinger, Iscoe & Greene will go directly to the School District of Palm Beach County and School Principal Fund for the leasing of Odyssey Middle School for the 8 weeks of camp, June 6th – July 28th. For the past decade, Coach John has held summer camp annually for upwards of 170 children without a single major contributor. Through his steadfast dedication to youth empowerment alongside the Sherriff’s Department, School Boards, Correctional Facility Counselors and After-school Program Directors, Coach John is able to minimize his operating costs for camp as vendors, community foundations and activity providers honor his commitment with significantly reduced rates for coaching, class instructors, activity rental equipment, sporting equipment and more. Stellar Kids Camp is significantly less expensive than other camps in the area – Mon-Thur 9a-4p is only $ 95 a week! Now that the tab has been picked up for use of Odyssey Middle School’s grounds for the summer, Coach John is ecstatic to offer families who can use a break this summer partial scholarships, bringing camp tuition down to only $ 50 a week.
When asked about Steinger, Iscoe & Greene’s ‘picking up the tab’ for Stellar Kids Camp’s lease, founding firm partner Michael Steinger stated, “People today, more than ever, could use a little help. Coach John has been serving our community for years with a steadfast commitment to youth development. Based on his history and vision through Stellar Kids Camp, we had full confidence that our support would directly benefit the parents and children who could use some good news the most. I hope that our investment can inspire other local businesses to invest in the programs and visionaries who are making a real difference in the lives of real people and the future of our world, our youth.”
Just as the opportunity to be a part of Stellar Kids’ vision presented itself, Steinger was finalizing the filing documents for the Steinger Kids Foundation, to edify and formalize the firm’s commitment to the children of South Florida. “We want to actually, powerfully help children and benefit lives in our community. South Florida has been our home since 1997, and the same way we have been fortunate to significantly benefit so many lives through our protection of injured people’s rights, we want to help protect, empower and invest in the most vulnerable and helpless in our community, our children.”

Praise for STELLAR KIDS INC and Coach John Mistretta’s Youth Programs, Camps & Mentoring:
In a Palm Beach Post article highlighting Coach John Mistretta’s work toward affordable youth sport programs, the Sheriff’s Office statistics reflected a 15% decrease in the crime rate in the Concept Home community after just 2 years of youth sports programming. (Dec 2001)
“I can imagine few finer mentors than Mr. John Mistretta.. I am sure that students who have him as their mentor or supporter will benefit enormously.” – Kathleen Weigel, Woodlands Middle Community School Principal
“He has been there for these students, listened to them and affirmed them in some way…. As many of us know it takes a village to raise a child. As part of our community, his effort has been extraordinary/ he has often gone far beyond the line of duty.” – Team of 3 School Counselors, Woodlands Middle School, Lake Worth, Florida
“… He motivated these students. May of them were highly reluctant learners due to repeated academic failure, personal problems and peer pressure to participate in destructive behaviors. Mr. Mistretta has a special gift for motivating students. He helped them to sort our their concerns, analyse the pressures bearing down on them and understand the importance of an education…. He is an asset to our school and community.” – Melanie Hubbard, Middle School Teacher
“John’s heart and dedication toward the youth is commendable and well appreciated.” – Scott Scrivner, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office PAL Coordinator. (Comment after working with Mistretta and Stellar Kids Inc’s youth basketball program.)
“Up until John ‘stepped up to the plate’ there was virtually no activities for these mostly under-privileged kids…. John’s work gave these kids a sense of belonging to something special…. He also taught these kids respect and values. The best part of this is that John did this voluntarily, without asking for anything. At times John even took money out of his own pocket to provide for these kids… Words cannot express my appreciation and the community’s appreciation for the work he’s done.” – Anthony Schillece, Palm Beach County PAL
Gratitude for Steinger, Iscoe & Greene Injury Lawyers’ help:
“I would like to say THANK YOU Steinger, Iscoe & Greene for making it possible for my children to attend summer camp this year. God Bless you!” – Single Mother of 2 Stellar Kid Campers
“We are very grateful and thankful for your kindness and Steinger, Iscoe and Greene’s kindness too!” – Parents of 2 Stellar Kid Campers
“I am refreshed by man’s humanity to his fellow man. Thank you Steinger, Iscoe & Greene!” – Coach John Mistretta

Wrestling is a very famous and enjoyable sport to watch for many. A few people prefer to go for training rather than just watch others play the sport. As a legal requirement in the US, both high school and collage students must always wear the headgear for wrestling. This special accessory does not exactly protect the head, as the name suggests. It actually protects a wrestler’s ears from consistent blows and beatings as this can be damaging in the end.
It can cause a condition called cauliflower ear. A person’s ear blood vessels would burst without any noticeable outer injury. If he or she receives extra beating on the same part continuously, the injury could become serious. In other words, it would cause formation of sore blood sacs inside the ears and eventually a permanent damage. That makes wrestling headwear an unavoidable item for young adults and adults that practice this sport.
How does this accessory look like? It consists of a couple of straps; one strap goes on the chin or under the chin, two go at the back of the head and two on the front head and top section of the head. All the same, ear guards can have different construction styles depending on the creativity of the companies that make them. Headgear for wrestling is almost always made of a plastic material and it has closure details such as buttons or velcro.
In some countries such as the North America, use of these items is mandatory as earlier mentioned. In Canada and some other countries, use of these accessories in sports is not compulsory. Now that you understand the purpose of this item, make sure you have it. If your child is a practicing wrestler, then get him or her this accessory. Cauliflower ear disfiguration can be challenging in terms of receiving treatment. One must seek a physician’s help who would then drain the blood out of the sacs and ears using a syringe and needle.
They say that protection is better than cure. That being said, why risk suffering this painful condition when you can prevent it. This flexible equipment allows you to wear a facemask together with it. A mask is a very useful gear for wrestlers that have sustained a serious facial injury. Before you can buy this item, determine the circumference of your head. Get someone to measure the size of your head, such as your couch or probably a team mate.
Next, explore all the available headgear for wrestling products on the Internet. They boast many designs based on the purpose they are set to fulfil. They usually have foam padding for extra security and comfort of your ears. Some come with special accessories, such as hair slickers. The best thing to do now is to use the Internet for research. There are very many providers of these products and they have items for kids and adults. Reading product reviews and the related information can be a very rewarding thing to do. It would give you a good idea of what other previous shoppers think about certain products.
