School Responds To Racially Divisive Photo

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – School district officials are looking to develop a dialogue with students about how to better communicate about important subjects in the wake of a controversial photograph which hit social media outlets on Oct. 13. The photo seen on various social media sites featured 16 Jackson Liberty High School seniors spelling out “WE R ALL NI**AS” by using lettered shirts while standing side-by-side. Two students sported paw prints on their shirts, which were used to display the last word, representing a slang version of a derogatory racial slur toward African Americans. The paw prints might represent the schools’ Lions mascot. The district released a statement saying that “several senior students from Jackson Liberty High School assembled to take a traditional senior class photo on the bleachers of the football field. That photo featured students using letters on their (Photo - See Page 6)

Continued From Page 1 administrator for a large health care company in New Jersey. As a third party candidate, he said that residents need a better option than the current two parties, who he said work “hand in glove” with each other. This two-party system has led to some of the best things in Ocean County being ruined. Being separate from them means that he does not owe anyone any favors, and will only serve the people. “I will look out for the well-being of all Citizens of Ocean County, not just the political bosses and those politically connected (dump the “friends and family” plan),” he said. This kind of corruption has cost taxpayers. As an environmentalist, he said he will enforce new regulations that will address development projects consistently throughout all towns in Ocean County, with the goal being the preservation of the Barnegat Bay. Additionally, he said he would remove the county’s representative to the Pinelands Commission for “violating his oath to protect the Pine Barrens.” Those who opposed a gas pipeline that is coming to a station in Manchester have called for the removal of the county’s representative to the Pinelands Commission, since he was one of the votes that would allow the pipeline. The county, and even the state, needs to work toward green manufacturing, “which will help save what’s left of our environment while creating sustainable jobs.” Other promises include making sure no Ocean County resident goes homeless and building a relationship with neighboring counties. “Having been active in Ocean County politics since 2003, I have seen fi rsthand that the relationship between the two major parties in New Jersey is not healthy for the average resident,” he said. “Political corruption is a pet peeve of mine and when elected, I will work tirelessly to bring the rampant amount ongoing in Ocean County to light.” Dela Cruz served as a committeewoman in Lacey for three separate, three-year terms. These were: 1995-1997, 2004-2006, and 2011-2013. “As a Lacey Committeewoman, I was liaison to the Economic Development Council and Board of Health (Public Health Services), Seniors Advisory Group, and the Municipal Alliance.” She is an active member of Lacey United Methodist Church, also serving as a former trustee, and member of the nominations committee. “The two biggest issues facing Ocean County are taxes and drug addiction,” she said. “I plan on stabilizing taxes by examining current spending and prioritizing future expenditures. I will propose a 2% spending cut in each department.” Dela Cruz was a franchisee for 7-Eleven from 1987 to 2002. She is a nurse at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York City, with a specialty in addictions nursing.

The Jackson Times, October 21, 2017, Page 5 “I will help take out the stigma from drug addiction through better education of the public and will also seek to expand drug treatment programs and make them more accessible for those in need,” she said. Public access to the Freeholders are another issue for her. Freeholder meetings are held in downtown Toms River at 4 p.m., when many people are at work. She would move them to 7 p.m. so more members of the public can attend. “I also will propose having eight Freeholder meetings a year in different locations around the county, in order that residents that live farther away from Toms River can more easily attend,” she said. “I will be the fresh voice on the Freeholder Board. For more than 25 years, there has been only one group represented on the Board. I will represent the residents of Ocean County, with compassion and integrity. I will speak up and stand up for them, and will block any effort that calls for outrageous spending and irresponsible borrowing. I will report to the people what goes on in the backroom,” she said. Vicari has been a freeholder since 1982. He has also served on the Dover Township Committee (currently called the Toms River Township Council) from 1979 to 1994, serving as mayor for five one-year terms. He has also been the Dover Township Police Commissioner, superintendent of Berkeley Township School District, and a teacher and principal in Brick. He received the March of Dimes Franklin award for chairing the annual Walk America for 16 years, and has been named “Man of the Year” by the Columbia Civic League, the Italian-American Cultural Society of Ocean County, and UNICO. The main issues in Ocean County are taxes, substance abuse, and the economy. He said he plans on continuing to hold the line on the tax rate, and ensuring the county’s AAA bond rating, which provides the best credit rate in borrowing. “There are never any surprises in the county budget. We have kept our tax rate stable because we can carefully plan not just for today, but for the future,” he said. Part of the drug issue comes from rehabilitation, but part of it is from enhancing counseling within the community and schools. Education is also the key to growing the economy, he said. “As liaison to the OC Vocational-Technical Schools, I am implementing a new specialized training program for students about to enter or re-enter the work force,” he said. It will “work with local businesses to provide the kinds of training that employers are looking for in new hires.” He also said he is working with professionals in the county to welcome and develop new businesses in Ocean County, “therefore increasing ratables, job opportunities, and to strengthen our local economy.” There are some problems, like the Route 9 corridor, that are state issues. He said he will continue to lobby Trenton to widen Route 9. “I have worked hard to provide our residents with the outstanding services they deserve while keeping the cost of government in check,” he said.

Continued From Page 1 shirt to spell out their class name and their senior motto of “We are Invincible.’’ The statement confirms that after the photo was completed and as students were heading back to class, students began taking various candid photos of themselves, and a group of students assembled on their own so their shirts spelled out a phrase that included an inference to a racially divisive word. The students in the photo have been described as being from diverse backgrounds. The photograph however angered some of those who viewed it while others defended the students, saying those offended were overreacting to it. One of the students featured in the photograph was reported to have said being sorry about the incident and that the photograph was taken to express support of the Black Lives Matter social justice movement (BLM). BLM originated in 2012 following the shooting death of an unar med black teenager named Trayvon Martin in Florida. Jackson Liberty High School Principal Maureen Butler said she learned about the intentions of the students involved and that that she did not feel any malice or disrespect was meant by any of the students in the photograph. The high school has around 1,300 students in ninth through 12th grades. Shor tly af ter the Oct. 13 incident Butler sent a letter to parents noting that “I did want you to know that we remain confident that the spirit of unity, tolerance and respect among our Liberty Lion family is alive and well.” “In that letter I also explained that when students returned, we would be discussing with the entire school how words and actions can be perceived, and the consequences that can result from them. As we always intended, that is a large part of what we focused on today - talking about how, regardless of what your intentions are, using racially divisive words is offensive and is never acceptable,” Butler said. Butler’s letter also stated “that we will not discuss the specifics of any student’s discipline, except to explain that the consequences involved are within the guidelines of our student Code of Conduct.” “Our focus is on using the information and ideas we are gathering in our discussions with students and parents to find ways to better understand the var ied thoughts and perspective on this issue. This may take the form of assemblies, act iv it ies, small g roup meetings, facilitated conversations or even bringing in outside agencies or organizations who can help us have productive, meaningful discussions,” Butler said. Butler said she believes the district has taken the first steps toward relaying to students the importance of “truly understanding the impact of words and actions, including those that have no place in any school or society.”

Jackson Police Warn Residents About New Phone Scam JACKSON – The Jackson Police Department, through information obtained by the FBI’s Philadelphia Division and the U.S. Marshals Service NJ District, would like to warn the public about a phone scam targeting New Jersey residents. Generally speaking, the scam involves the impersonation of law enforcement or court officials to fraudulently obtain “fines” for missed jury duty. More specifically, the purported employees of the U.S. Marshals and County Sheriff Departments are calling citizens claiming that the answering party failed to appear for federal or

local jury duty. The caller then tells the recipient of the call that a warrant has been issued for their arrest, and the individual must pay a fine and report to the court. The citizen is later requested to purchase a prepaid debit card, and provide the card information to the caller prior to reporting to court and discovering the fraud. Please contact the Jackson Police Department at 732-928-1111 if you have any questions regarding this or any other phone or online scams. Further, victims of phone or online scams can file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.

Schedule flu 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 flu shot costs $20 dollars and the high dose for seniors costs $30.

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

Additionally, everyone should consider getting the flu vaccine, especially the elderly, and those with chronic lung or heart disease. For questions about the flu shot program, contact Kyle Fannan, marketing development associate, at 732-719-1570.

Second grade students will become ambassadors of great character and will bring messages of courage, perseverance and humanity to the whole population of their school. Students will take part in literary and art projects to express their ideas. These will be displayed in a special school gallery. Students will be visited by a Holocaust survivor, a visiting artist, and will take part in a field trip to Philadelphia in search of liberty. Students will learn about immigration and what it means to be a refugee. They will create a Caring Closet filled with gently used items that people in need might be able to use. Family nights are planned to involve the whole family in creating art and literary messages that portray the ideals that the students will learn about.

Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family. Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss. 2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss. 3. One in 14 Generation Xers (37-48) already have hearing loss. 4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss. 5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of

hearing loss by 50 percent Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss. Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Schizandra Is My New Favorite Supplement

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. I also have great news, you can once again read hundreds of my past articles now archived at my site; there’s even a search box to look up your health issue.

–Photo courtesy MATES Students attending MATES in Manahawkin took part in a ‘Tropical Trot’ on October 7 to raise money for hurricane-ravaged regions in Texas, Florida and the Caribbean. By Sara Grillo MANAHAWKIN – Every year, students from the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science (MATES) in Manahawkin hold a Turkey Trot race. This year, students renamed the annual run to a ‘Tropical Trot’ to raise money for relief efforts in the recently hurricane-ravaged regions of Texas, Florida and the Caribbean. On Friday, October 7, 94 MATES students took part in the run. With the help of physical education teachers Brian Coen and Sean McAndrew, the Tropical Trot raised $2,500 and the money will be donated to the Jetty Rock Foundation, which is cur-

rently donating money to relief efforts in the affected areas. Local businesses Jetty, Farias Surf and Sport, Ann Coen Photography, Speakeasy Pizza and China Ming of Jackson chipped in to donate prizes for the top finishers in the race. The Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science is a specialized high school managed by the Ocean County Vocational Technical School District designed to give students a rigorous academic curriculum focused in the areas of science, math and technology.

Marano’s arrest on charges of 3rd degree Aggravated Assault, 3rd degree Possession of Child Pornography and 2nd degree Distribution of Child Pornography. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s High Tech Crime Unit (HTCU), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homel a nd Se c u r it y I nve s t ig at io n s (HSI) and Jackson Township Police Depar t ment were involved with the investigation. The release stated that the arrest was the result of proactive cyber monitoring by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Off ice High Tech Crime Unit which indicated that someone within Ocean Cou nt y had dow n loaded i mages of prepubescent children engaged in sexual acts. Investigators started looking into Marano’s activities in December of 2016, but were unable to substantiate the alleged activity due to covert cyber measures taken by him. The investigation later uncovered additional information from the FBI Cyber Crime Task Force regarding Marano’s alleged criminal activity. The investigation led to the execution of an approved search warrant by the partnering agencies at 32 Eucalyptus Court in Jackson. The release stated that after detectives announced their presence with a search warrant several times, they observed Marano move from the living room of the residence into the bedroom instead of responding to the door. They then forced entry and were met by the defendant exiting the bedroom with a handgun in his hand. Marano, who worked for ambulance company MONOC, was ordered multiple times to drop the weapon before he finally complied. After he was secured, they found the semi-automatic firearm was loaded with a round in the chamber. He remains lodged in the Ocean County Jail pending a first appearance hearing according to the release. Councilman Barry Calogero said the resolution was prompted by the situation. “It was incumbent on this council to take action for the protection of the residents of the township.”

Marano’s unexpired term will be filled on the board by zoning board member Alexander Sauickie. His term will end on June 30, 2019. Sauickie’s existing seat will be filled by Larry Schuster. The zoning board recently noted the depar t ure of another member, Peter Kitay, 56, owner of County Line Construction. Kitay, who was appointed to the board on Jan. 4, resigned on October 4. His seat will be filled by Scott Najarian, whose term on the board will end on June 30, 2019. While Kitay had maintained being an active member of the community, his appointment had its share of critics by residents who voiced concern that his company, which had appeared before the zoning board for variances before, might fall into situations of a conf lict of interest. Council members said Kitay’s resignation cited time considerations as the reason for his resignation. In other news, tow nship off icials recognized Breast Cancer Awareness month during the meeting noting that breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women. Township Clerk Ann Marie read a proclamation at the start of meeting on behalf of Mayor Mike Reina. Councilman Robert Nixon, who wore a pink tie, the color of Breast Cancer awareness, said his mother died earlier in the year of cancer. “We’ve all been touched by this disease. Even the small things are important like picking up the phone and seeing how someone is. Don’t put it off to tomorrow because tomorrow may not come.” Nixon said his mother had expressed the importance of personal visits during her time in hospice care. Councilman Scott R. Martin noted the recent Kiwanis Cornhole Tournament that raised funds for Rebuilding Warriors an organization that provides service dogs for veterans. An ordinance authorizing the dedication of a right-of-way to Ocean County for the purposes of road and drainage facility construction and maintenance along a portion of Route 527 on Whitesville Road was introduced. The ordinance was approved on first reading. The ordinance will receive a second reading on Oct. 24.

By William Clanton SHIP BOTTOM – Almost a hundred kites took flight on LBI this Columbus Day weekend. The 3rd Annual LBI Fly International Kite Festival came to Ship Bottom taking over of the skies of LBI. The blue skies were complimented by the delightful sea breeze and the distant ruffling sound of kites gracefully flying in the sky. LBI Fly has been organized to bring the brilliant, colorful artist designed kites, giant inflatable kites and an amazing show of sport kiting all between the 3rd and 15th Street Beaches in Ship Bottom. Aside from just traditional kites there were sport kite demos, bol kite races, buggy kites, fly your own kite, kite flying lessons, nighttime illuminated kite flying performances by the Barnegat Lighthouse, and so much more. Coordinators also held several kid-friendly events, such as kids’ kite making, a high fliers’ art market and the KiteFest Bazaar in Bayview Park, 68th Street in Brant Beach. The annual LBI Fly Festival was originally started in 2015 and invited over 30 different professional and international kite flyers to show off an arrangement of colorful and beautifully designed kites. This year marked one of the biggest turnouts they’ve seen so far here on Long Beach Island. “The kite festival is fun for all ages and for families.” said event coordinator Lisa Willoughby. “It’s all very colorful and not what we were expecting exploring the Island,” stated Jack and Donna from Allentown, PA. The couple, who were vacationing on LBI, stumbled across the event entirely by chance and were soon amazed

by the magnitude of kites, their designs and the sheer beauty of it all. “The event is very well run and worth coming down for,” said Fred and Donna Taylor, two professional kite enthusiasts from Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada. They enjoy kite flying whenever and wherever they can. Both professional and amateur kite enthusiasts from all around the world came out to LBI to present their beautifully designed and custom kites. The event gave fliers and spectators alike the chance to meet with other kite enthusiasts. The kite festival is an international venue, hosting kiters from as far as Canada, Germany, France, Tasmania and so many other places from all around the world. Robert Brasinjton, a professional kite designer and enthusiast from Tasmania, was there showing of an arrangement of custom kites. Brasinjton has been designing and flying these kites for over 25 years. His passion originally started with surfing and skateboarding, surprisingly enough. It was the movement, fast pace, artist design and idea that soon got him into professional kiting. These enthusiasts love to show off their beautiful creations to spectators and can be found at venues all around the world. Maria Gyllespie, who insisted she was an amateur kite flyer, took the chance to display her kite designs and personal style. She said she originally got her start making quilts and soon transferred her quilt making designs to kites. She has been doing this for four years so far. This year’s 3rd annual LBI Fly International Kite Festival had an amazing turnout. The beach was packed with people and kites alike. Kite flier and spectators are already geared up for next year.

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

After five decades of cooking professionally, one of the most important secrets I’ve learned for making people feel a meal is memorable - whether it is eaten in a restaurant or at home - is to add special little touches. Garnish a pasta dish with fresh herbs, quickly saute fresh fruit compote to serve over ice cream or alongside cake, or offer flavored butter instead of a plain spread, and your guests will be blown away by your creativity and generosity. I think every home cook could benefit from that lesson, as the busiest time of year for entertaining quickly approaches. Just a few weeks from now, you may be throwing a Halloween party. No sooner will you clean up from that lively gathering, and Thanksgiving will be just around the corner. The entire month of December seems to bring its own round of parties, from pre-Christmas buffets to big family sit-down dinners to elegant New Year cocktail get-togethers. So, I’ve been wondering if there was one simple recipe I could share that you could have on hand to see you all the way from now to the new year. When the answer came to me, it seemed both obvious and ingenious, as all such delightful additions to home entertaining should be: Prepare crispy homemade breadsticks! Even more than a lovingly baked loaf of bread, breadsticks will win delighted reactions from your guests. They’re fun to serve with cocktails, wine or beer. They make memorable additions to a buffet, and are just as welcome passed at the dinner table. And they can seem as casual or fancy as the foods they accompany and the style of your party. Better still, breadsticks are simple to make. I base mine on the same easy pizza dough I use in my restaurants (though you could substitute storebought, ready-to-bake dough, too). Since the sticks are so thin, baking takes just minutes, not the hour or more for a large loaf. Best of all, breadsticks let you be creative with ease, since you can coat them with all sorts of flavorings. In the following version, I brush them with easily made garlic-chili oil before baking and dust them with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. But you could substitute plain olive oil and dustings of your own favorite spices; or roll them in sesame seeds or poppy seeds; or replace the Parmesan with other cheeses, which you could even knead lightly into the dough before you roll out and cut the sticks. Try them first for Halloween, adding extra garlic to keep away the vampires. After that, I’m sure you’ll add them to your holiday repertoire - and then make them a regular addition to your table year-round! 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.
