By Sara Grillo HOWELL – After watching the recent devastation from Hurricanes Irma and Maria unfold in Puerto Rico, a class of 5th graders at Newbury School decided that folding might make all the difference in the world for those in need.

Teacher Lisa Oliver said her Project GOAL class approached her wanting to do something for Puerto Ricans affected by the storm, and shortly after, they researched a charity, set a $500 fundraising goal and developed a business plan.

BOE:

Continued From Page 1 involvement and shrinking state aid emerged as common themes among the four candidates.

All candidates are running for a 3-year term on the Board of Education, which represents students in grades K-8.

Ira Thor ran for the seat left open by board member Jeanne DePompo after she stepped down in July, and was also the first runner up in last year’s election.

Back then, as well as now, his biggest passion and reason for joining the board is getting the community involved. He has also served on the board’s Community Interaction and Policy Committees for the past two years.

“I think it’s important as an elected member of the community to find other ways to connect,” said Thor.

One of his ideas that go beyond traditional Board of Education meetings is to hold coffee conversations at Dunkin’ Donuts on Sunday mornings to talk about issues, as he feels meetings can be intimidating to parents, or that people have other activities going on that make them inconvenient to attend.

“There’s a reason people are disconnected,” he said.

Spending is another big concern, especially when he said that 67 percent of the tax rate goes to schools.

It’s very important to Thor that the board spends that money in the most responsible manner possible, that there’s no waste, and that children and families are getting the most they can out of schools, he said, in light of putting such a financial burden on homeowners.

“If you are one of the nine people serving on the Board of Education, or town council for that matter, that you are spending wisely.”

Lastly, he hopes to set an example for his three kids – most who still have a long way to go through Howell schools – that community service is extremely important and that everyone should try and give back.

“If you have the time to give back, you should,” he said, adding that if he gets elected to the board he may have to give up something else in his life.

“This is important to me, or I wouldn’t try the second time.”

Thor has served for three years on the Board of Directors for the College Sports Information Directors of America, has been the youngest ever president of the Division III College Sports Information Directors of America, and is currently the chair of the College Division Management Council.

He is in his fourth season as a volunteer soccer coach for the Pinelanders, and has previously coached for the Howell United Soccer Club.

Albert Miller, who is retired from the NYC Fire Department Emergency Medical Service, is a 12-year resident of Howell and has been a board member since April 2011.

During this term, he’d like to focus his efforts on community involvement.

“I would love to find ways to get the full

community even more aware and involved in our work so they can share their positions and ideas from the start of any project.

We really need to build our Community Interaction Committee,” he said, hoping to work with the committee chair, administration, PTA, PTO and local clubs to boost membership.

Miller is a NJ School Board Association Certified School Board Leader, President of the Monmouth County School Boards Association and Religious Education Teacher at St. Veronica Catholic Church.

He has one daughter currently attending Howell schools at Middle School South, and is a Howell High School Marching Band Parent, PTA Parent and Howell Hawks Basketball Program Parent.

He has previously served as PTA President at Middle School North and Southard School, and as PTO Vice President at Aldrich School.

He believes the biggest challenge facing the school district is an underfunding of state aid.

“Back in 2009 our district received a huge cut in state aid. Unfortunately, we still are not at the level from before this massive cut. That forces the BOE and administration to develop a budget that provides for our students’ education without knowing what our state aid will be for that year,” he explained, “So we are faced with having to raise property taxes to cover what the state doesn’t give us.”

Miller said he will fight to ensure those property taxes are used for programs that are necessary to provide a thorough and strong education, and also to have an exceptional staff in place that enables students to excel.

“I would also like to work with our state officials to either fully fund the education formula or for them to come up with something that takes the burden of local school taxes off the local property taxpayers,” he said.

Dr. Denise M. Lowe is running for her third term and hopes to continue as chair of the Education Committee, where she feels strides have been made in student personalized learning, professional development for staff, as well as incorporating students’ voices in school board decisions.

Lowe was also tasked with planning the board’s annual retreat this year, where board members take part in team building activities while getting to know each other in the process, so that they can work well together as a governing body. This year, students who took part in the first annual Student Board of Education Day were invited to attend the retreat and participate in a bonding activity with board members.

“My goals next year is to take a look at our strategic plan to include many of the Future Ready initiatives that are currently in place and realign them. In addition, making sure that student voice is included in our decision making.”

Lowe said the biggest challenge facing the school district is providing a high quality education to students while being financially responsible to taxpayers.

“School funding issues at the state level need to be addressed through our legislature, and we have and will continue, with our board advocacy committee, to address the current funding inequities,” she added.

Lowe is Managing Director of All Children Can Learn, LLC, which provides executive coaching to building and central office (BOE - See Page 18)

Winter Completion

FALL SAVINGS

Fall Delivery

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean Health Initiatives (OHI), a federally qualified health center in Ocean County, is offering f lu shots for 2017-2018 through appointments at all six of its health centers. Schedule f lu shot appointments by calling 732-363-6655 or at ohinj.org.

OHI accepts and will work with most insurances. For adult patients without insurance, the regular f lu shot costs $20 dollars and the high dose for seniors costs $30. Through the program Vaccines for Children (VFC), a federally funded program, children without insurance, who are self-pay patients, or who are recipients of Medicaid Plan A can receive a f lu shot at no cost.

OHI health centers offer preservative free, latex free, and egg-free vaccinations. The f lu shot usually takes two weeks to take effect, so getting a flu shot now will protect people when the f lu reaches the height of its season and help stop the spread of the f lu virus.

Dr. Gilbert Fleischer, Chief Medical Officer of OHI, reminds everyone that inf luenza is a serious disease that can affect everyone at any age and can lead to major health issues, such as hospitalizations and even death. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends everyone six months or older get a f lu shot before the end of November.

Additionally, everyone should consider getting the f lu vaccine, especially the elderly, and those with chronic lung or heart disease.

“We have seen too many crashes on our roadways as a result of distracted driving,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. “Texting and talking on a cell phone while driving is irresponsible. It takes the focus off of the roads and may have deadly consequences that otherwise could be avoided.”

“Distracted Driving-Seconds that Could Change or End Your Life” was presented by Sheriff’s Officers Iliana Santos to approximately 220 high school students from 9th to 12th grades. During the one-hour presentation, distracted driving was explained along with the types of distracted driving such as texting and talking on cell phones, eating, drinking, reading and grooming, among other activities. In addition, several compelling videos, detailing the aftermath of distracted driving were graphically illustrated.

At the conclusion of the presentation, students had the opportunity to ask questions and were left with the advice to share the information they obtained with others.

According to the New Jersey Division of Highway

Traffic Safety: • Driver inattention has been a major contributing cause in more than 800,000 motor vehicle crashes from 2010 to 2014.

• At any given daylight moment across America, approximately 542,000 drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic devices while driving, a number that has decreased over 18% since 2010.

• 10% of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash. This age group has the largest proportion of drivers who were distracted.

• Aquarter of teens respond to a text message once or more every time they drive. 20% of teens and 10% of parents admit that they have extended multi-message text conversations while driving.

While the sheriff’s office program is presented to high school aged students, the information gathered needs to be shared, since driver distraction means that your eyes are off the road, hands are off the wheel and mind is off driving. That could change or end a life.

“It’s crucial for students to share this information with their parents, since parents should eliminate distracted driving while operating a vehicle,” said Sheriff Golden. “When a parent is in the driver’s seat, they lead by example, by the manner in which they drive.”

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I cannot tell you how frequently people write to me and say they are tired and frustrated with ineffective medicine. I believe adrenal exhaustion is at the root of pretty much everyone’s misery and there isn’t a drug that nurtures your precious adrenal glands, which are above your kidneys.

These help you cope with stress. If you have cry easily, have a short fuse or people call you “cranky,” then you might have insufficient adrenal function. We live in such a fast paced world with too much stress, too many emails and too many perceived obligations; it’s easy to burn your adrenals out.

Adaptogens are plant-based supplements that support adrenal health and rebuild it.

My personal go-to adaptogens have always been ashwagandha, ginseng or rhodiola.

Lately, I’ve been studying schizandra (sometimes spelled schisandra) and it’s my newest favorite supplement.

Schizandra was prized for centuries by Chinese emperors as an anti-aging supplement. Wu Wei Zi is its Chinese name.

Because it improves moisture retention, imperial ladies used it for prettier skin. It’s a wonderful skin supplement in fact. But the beauties of schizandra go much deeper than skin. Animal studies have shown that it can help with memory and brings balance between the “off” and “on” switch in your brain, so it helps regulate functioning of your cerebral cortex. Think of it as a tonic for your nervous system.

Shchizandra is best known to heal the liver and help you with hepatitis. If you have any liver disease, I urge you to ask your doctor if this over the counter herb is okay for you. Adaptogens classically give

you energy and better sleep. That sounds contradictory doesn’t it? But adaptogens are smart and seem to know what your body needs. See why I love it?!

Schizandra increases energy without the jolt of caffeine. As a cellular cleanser, schizandra works by increasing your body’s production of a natural antioxidant called gluathione. Glutathione is a strong liver cleanser. You make glutathione yourself, and schizandra help you make more, which is fabulous!

Over time, men notice stronger desire, better sex and more staying power. It helped with benign prostatic hyperplasia, according to a 2014 study, and improved the effects of Flomax. It’s the berries!

The beautiful red berries! That’s where the medicinal action is and the healing compounds are.

What really caught my attention are the studies showing anti-cancer benefits, at least in preliminary animal or petri dish studies. Anything that can slow progression of cancer (reduce metastasis) gets my attention. And in 2009, another animal study published in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine found that schizandra may be a “useful chemotherapeutic agent” specifically for human leukemia U937 cells.

I have a more detailed version of this article including more about cancer and other conditions. To receive it, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I will email it to you.

Healthcare:

Continued From Page 1 start coverage January 1, 2018. Previously, open enrollment lasted for a three-month period, beginning on November 1 and lasting through January 31.

The change, according to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, was made to align better with Medicare and the private market, but some states that operate their own health insurance exchanges, such as New York, have elected to extend the open enrollment period beyond the Dec. 15 cutoff.

Fulfill, formerly the Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, is offering residents of both counties some relief in what can be an overwhelming process of signing up for and choosing

a health plan within the marketplace.

Barbara Scholz, Director of Advocacy and Programs at Fulfill, said that one of the ways the nonprofit is fighting hunger is through affordable healthcare. Healthcare Navigators will be at various locations throughout the area during open enrollment to help guide people through the now shortened process.

Healthcare Navigators are certified by the federal government, knowledgeable about policies and terms, and can help consumers find policies that are appropriate and affordable for them.

Scholz said a navigator will log onto the marketplace website (healthcare.gov) with a consumer and walk them through the process, showing them how to set up a username and password, answer questions, and either submit the application right away, or save it for later if they need time to

discuss it with family members.

“People have to consider which plans are the best for them and that’s something the Navigator can help them with as well,” said Scholz.

She said the 9 Navigators are also there to help with people who have disabilities or who don’t have access to a laptop or internet at home. Four of them will be able to provide assistance in Spanish.

Although open enrollment offers year-round coverage for 2018, there are also special enrollment periods – such as getting married, having a baby, losing your job or gaining citizenship – where you would not have to wait until the following November to get coverage. Fulfill offers help throughout the year for those special coverage periods as well.

Healthcare Navigators will be available at locations throughout Ocean and Monmouth counties

during the open enrollment period: • The B.E.A.T. Center, 1769 Hooper Ave. in Toms River – Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, November 1 through December 15 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; later by appointment • Freehold Raceway Mall Financial Success Center in Freehold, next to Macy’s on the first floor – Every Tuesday and Wednesday, November 1 through December 15 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Attendees should bring addresses, social security numbers, employer/income information (W-2s, pay stubs, wage/tax statements) and current health/job-based insurance information.

For additional locations, dates and times, call Fulfill at 732-643-5888 or visit fulfillnj.org/ get-help/#healthcare.

for Puerto Rico to deposit their funds, which was founded by Puerto Rico’s First Lady Beatriz Rosselló in light of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The charity has received over 55,000 donations so far and has been able to deliver over 15,000 bottles of water, 2,700 items of clothing, 2,100 units of milk, 1,300 hygiene kits and 1,275 cans of vegetables to people in over 75 municipalities.

The Howell 5th graders wanted to create a plan that would drive in the most profit without spending a lot of money on materials. Two students, Alex Garyaev and Ewan Coppola, had been making origami since the fi rst day of school, so the idea quickly emerged to sell it as a way to raise money for Puerto Rico.

Students soon started making custom origami pieces at their houses over the weekend and in their spare time.

“It was hard to get enough origami, but success was in the details. We worked really hard and created pieces good enough to sell,” said Ewan.

“Without the class, it would have been impossible to complete the project. We all

“My son had such an amazing experience in the district. It was not easy moving him from NY where he spent his entire life. One of my reasons for running for the board in 2015 was to give back to the Howell community as a volunteer, a portion of what my son received as a Memorial Hawk.”

had to work together,” added Alex.

Lisa D’Aiuto and Isabella Cardillo came up with an idea to add hair clips to the origami and created them, too. Students even got their art teacher Donna Gaszynski on board to help make custom origami earrings.

“The project was cool because we were all able to express ourselves through origami. I never took an interest in it before and now I love it!” said Lisa.

Students took to the lunch room with their proud creations of origami stars, necklaces and hair clips. Their peers and teachers could buy single pieces, or 2 for $5 baskets of origami.

Their starting goal was to earn $500 for United for Puerto Rico. After just two days, they blew past that and readjusted the goal to $700, and then $1,000. After a week, the class raised a whopping $1,372 to help Puerto Ricans in need.

“The best lesson I can teach my students is that they can make a difference,” said Mrs. Oliver. “I consider this project a success because I believe they learned that lesson and had a great time doing it!”

Mrs. Oliver has always taught her students that part of their work in the classroom is to leave a “footprint” on others, and clearly, they were listening.

Sanchez has worked for The Northern New Jersey Council of Carpenters Local 253 for the past 15 years.

“I feel that budget is always a concern. We as a board are going to do our best to make sure we do what is best for the students, staff and taxpayers,” he said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of October 21 - October 27

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): If you shoot from the hip in the week ahead be sure you don’t shoot yourself in the foot. Ingenious ideas will help you make your mark in the workplace, but won’t help to stabilize relationships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be filled with imaginative ideas as this week unfolds. It may not be possible to translate your ideas into moneymaking enterprises, but sharing ideas may bring some people closer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Spread the word. You may learn many new things that enrich your life and enhance your creativity.

You will forget your doubts and fears as this week goes by and you share your ideas.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you care you will share. A partner may inspire you to be more businesslike in your approach to possessions and assets in the week ahead.

Others might inadvertently block your plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The tighter the knot, the better the bond. You enjoy ties of affection, but it is difficult to sustain relationships that hang by a slender thread.

Concentrate on being loyal and trustworthy this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): New technology can help you achieve your aims.

Find ways to shave a few pennies off the bills by becoming more energy efficient in the week ahead. Stay abreast of the latest trends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The unexpected or unpredictable might work out in your favor. Welcome sudden breaks in routine or unanticipated visitors in the week ahead. You may learn something of great value.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can’t command respect until you have earned it.

Don’t rest on your laurels or hide away in a dream world. Be seen as trustworthy and act as a model of industry in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Although you may want to correct someone’s mistakes, be understanding and forgiving in the week ahead. People may forget what you say but will never forget how you make them feel.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have ambitious dreams but sometimes don’t have the money or time to pursue them. By applying logic it may be easy to achieve your goals as this week unfolds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve got all the right moves. You feel more glamorous or talented than usual this week, but must fight an urge to act on impulse or switch direction.

Don’t abandon an ongoing project.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The tides may turn quickly where your finances are concerned. Enjoy unique experiences but don’t put your money on the line this week.

Someone’s expectations might be unrealistic.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Bake My Day: No Table Should Be Without These Oven-Made Breadsticks

By Wolfgang Puck SPICY GARLIC-CHILI PARMESAN BREADSTICKS Serves 4 6 ounces (185 g) Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), or store-bought bread dough 1/3 cup (85 mL) garlic-chili oil (recipe follows) 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough into a long, thin strip about 4 inches (10 cm) wide, 14 inches (35 cm) long, and less than 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Brush the surface of the dough evenly but lightly with some chili-garlic oil. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, thyme and red pepper flakes.

Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into strips 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide. Transfer the strips to the prepared baking sheets, laying them he straight or twisting them into spirals as you like; leave a 1/2-inch (12-mm) space between the breadsticks.

Transfer the baking sheets to the preheated oven and bake until the breadsticks are browned and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes, switching and rotating the positions of the baking sheets partway through the time for more even browning.

Transfer the baking sheets to racks to cool. Serve the breadsticks immediately or store airtight until serving.

WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each about 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry or fresh yeast 1 tablespoon honey

1 cup (250 mL) warm water, 105-115 F (40-46 C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the warm water.

In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining water and process until the mixture forms a ball.

Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).

Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll each under the palm of your hand until the top is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to two days.

CHILI-GARLIC OIL Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 2 cups (500 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and peeled 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes In a small saucepan, combine the oil and garlic, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the garlic begins to turn brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Do not let the garlic get too dark, or the oil will taste bitter.)

Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Add the red pepper flakes and infuse for at least 2 hours. Strain into a covered container and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
