By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – A controversial plan to build a yeshiva, dormitories and townhomes on a portion of Ford Road will need a use variance approval from the zoning board.

The board will hear the applicant,

attorneys and their experts at the May 9 zoning board meeting.

The 10-acre site currently has a residential home, inground pool and chicken coop on it. But the applicant is proposing an educational facility, student dormitory and

faculty townhomes. The current residential home will also remain.

The applicant, Zeev Rothschild of Congregational Kollel of Lakewood, would use the site at 344 Ford Road to construct the educational facility (Road - See Page 4)

BLUECLAWS RAMP UP FOR APRIL HOME-OPENER

By Chris Christopher Chris Tafrow is 35 years of age, but he feels like a child.

“Every year,” the Lakewood BlueClaws’ general manager said of the season, “it feels like Christmas time.”

The BlueClaws, the Philadelphia Phillies’ low Class A farm club, will play their regular-season home opener April 14 against the Greensboro (N.C.) Grasshoppers at 6:35 p.m. at FirstEnergy Park.

“I am super excited,” said Tafrow, a 1999 graduate of Toms River High School East where he competed in baseball and

basketball and played the snare drum in the Raiders’ band. “Just the other day, when we began setting up the park, we had a good feeling. All of our planning is starting to happen.”

There will be improvements at FirstEnergy Park in the team’s 16th season, all in the South Atlantic League.

“We have made a nice investment in the Kids Zone,” said Tafrow, who has been with the club since its birth. “We will cater more toward the teenagers with a big rock climbing wall-trampoline combination. We will do a lot of social media interaction with our fans on

our video board. Fans will be able to tweet pictures of themselves.

They will receive a tweet saying, ‘Watch for your pictures,’ and in

the next two minutes the tweets will be on the board.”

Fans can take in some new food options too.

“In terms of food, we will have some crazy pork roll options,” he said. “We are working on what (BlueClaws - See Page 14)

for Jewish Talmudic studies. Rothschild presented testimony at the December 21 meeting, explaining the project.

Township zoning officers advised the applicant they would need a use variance. Zoning Officer Chris Jackson denied Rothschild approval to construct an educational facility with student and faculty housing on Ford Road, on grounds that housing for students and faculty members is not a permitted use, although education facilities are permitted.

The applicant’s attorney Christopher Costa and Engineer Andrew Janiw argued the housing was ancillary and accessory, similar to how a cafeteria would be for a school.

At the February 29 zoning board meeting, the board heard the applicant’s appeal and rejected it, instead siding with its zoning official’s decision, voting 6-0, that the ARE-2 zone does not allow this type of use.

Rothschild is proposing two buildings for the school, two dormitories, two town home buildings with 70 units.

The yeshiva, or school, would serve students ages 14 to 18, and 18 to 22. The dormitory ca-

pacity would be 100 and 90 for each respective age group, plus the eight faculty who would reside there.

In the recent zoning board meeting, Costa argued that Howell’s zoning statutes have no language concretely defining educational facility as a use, and turned to the state’s language as well as towns such as New Brunswick, on how they define “educational facilities.” Several board members took issue with that, saying Howell’s zoning was nothing like New Brunswick’s.

“Dormitory housing is ancillary and accessory, just as a gym and a cafeteria would be,” Janiw said, and cited the state statute’s language: an educational facility is defined as “a structure suitable for use as a dormitory, dining hall, student union, administration building, academic building and other structures or facilities related thereto or required or useful for the instruction of students or the conducting of research or the operation of an institution for higher education, and the necessary and usual attendant and related facilities and equipment, but shall not include any facility used or to be used for sectarian instruction or as a place for religious worship.”

Jennifer Beahm, the board’s planner, said that by that logic the “sectarian instruction” and “religious worship” parts of that meant those por-

tions of the plan would require a use variance.

Jackson also said the townshouses portion would be multi-family housing, which is also not allowed in the zone.

He said there is also an issue with the road in that neighborhood. The township’s master plan has it as a subcollector road. Ford Road is one lane in each direction with no shoulders.

“The master plan states schools, educational facilities must be on a collector or arterior road,” Jackson said. “You are not talking about a traditional school, there are seven housing buildings, some attached to each other, and single family dwellings connected.”

Rothschild said the dormitories are necessary to the project and that it was not a synagogue.

“This is a religious school, it is not a place of worship,” said the applicant. “The dorm is absolutely necessary or the school can’t function.”

Board Chairman Wendell Nanson, Vice Chairman Daniel Cardellichio and board members Nino Borrelli, Thomas Posch, John Armata and Evelyn O’Donnell voted to uphold Jackson’s ruling.

This application would require a variance to move forward. The zoning board is scheduled to hear that use variance at its May 9 meeting, 7:30 p.m. in town hall.

Ladies Auxiliary Bowling Fundraiser

HOWELL – The Adelphia Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary is holding a Bowling Fundraiser on April 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Howell Lanes, 1002 Route 9.

It will cost $15 per person for two games, shoe rental, two slices of pizza and unlimited soda and water.

Correction The March 19, 2016 article “Howell, Rider U. Team Up With Teachers Program” incorrectly explained the program’s parameters. Current school teachers mentor the Rider University students who are switching careers to become teachers. The program provides professional learning experiences through a graduate course focusing on leadership and mentoring to present Howell Township teachers, who are willing to participate, and want to mentor future teachers.

Program candidates will go back to school for their teaching certificate and receive the coursework and field experiences required in order to be eligible for teacher certification at the end of nine months.

The Howell Times regrets the error and apologizes for any inconvenience it may have caused.

Opinion

Editorial

Parents Also Responsible For Education Each year when standardized test scores hit the papers, the cries of outraged parents are sure to follow.

That pattern has been consistent. Parents’ concerns about how school districts handle education are warranted, too. But the role of school officials is but one key to the education puzzle.

Parents must look at their own role in their child’s education.

Childrens’ education does not exist in a vacuum within the school. All parents would do well to remember that. While fair and strong criticism of teachers, schools and administrations is often warranted and desirable, parents must also consider their own part in broadening their child’s knowledge.

Take a moment, look at your home and ask yourself a few questions. Do you read to your child on a regular basis? Do you encourage your child to read? What was the last book you bought for your child? Does the television take up more of your child’s time than reading or homework, and if so, why?

How often do you look over

your child’s homework to see what they are studying?

These are not just important questions, they are essential. Getting your children involved in ballet and soccer and baseball is wonderful and enriching, but without the right answers to the above questions, those activities are just a part of what children need.

Several school districts offer resources for parents who may feel ill equipped in helping their child be the best students they can.

Jackson School District, for example, has free “Parents University” events, each session helping parents on a particular topic, such as encouraging reading.

Visit any school district’s website, and you’ll find a Parents section.

We firmly believe in teacher accountability and testing, streamlined administrations and a focus on the three R’s. But a good education does not begin and end with teachers. Parents who do not play a role in their child’s education should be the last to speak up when test scores do not meet expectations.

C ommentary Letters To The Editor

Not A Satisfied Comcast Customer My wife and I are extremely disappointed in Comcast. First, they closed the handy little office in our hometown, and now they have dropped the “YES” Network from their rotation of channels. “YES” is the home of the New York Yankees. We are Yankee fans, and with baseball season coming upon us we’d like to continue to see our team.

After all, in the 2 and 1/2 years since we’ve moved here from North Jersey, we have always been able to have that channel available. It is one of the few we watch.

This might be bearable if their operators didn’t come up with ridiculous excuses when I call to complain.

The best I’ve heard was “We’re protecting you from YES, they are trying to raise your rates.” Meanwhile, they (Comcast) have just raised our rates despite the fact that we no longer get one of our favorite channels. There should be a reduction to our bill if a favorite channel is taken away; not an increase. And “protection” like this I can live without.

From the very start of our time down here, Comcast has been problematic for us (compared to the relatively trouble-free time we had with them up north.) And, from what I gather, we are not alone in our dissatisfaction.

I hope this can be resolved before Opening Day! Be-

yond that, I hope Comcast resolves its “customer dissatisfaction” issues.

Great American Meatout After another winter of severe snowstorms and floods, I look forward to March 20, first day of spring, balmy weather and blooming flowers.

Hundreds of communities welcome spring with an observance of Great American Meatout, asking neighbors to explore a healthy, compassionate diet of vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains.

Indeed, 56 percent of respondents to a GlobalMeatNews poll said that they were or are reducing meat intake. U.S. per capita red meat consu mpt ion has dropped by more than 16 percent since 1999.

Mainstream publications like "Parade," "Better Homes and Gardens" and "Eating Well" are touting vegan recipes. Even the financial investment community is betting on plant-based meat start-ups, like Beyond Meat or Impossible Foods, while warning clients about the upcoming “death of meat.”

The reasons are ample. Last year, the World Health Organization found cancer to be associated with consumption of processed meats. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommended reduced meat consumption.

The media keeps exposing atrocities perpetrated on factory farms. And, ani-

Plans Would Harm Liberty State Park Access Gov. Chris Christie’s Department of Environmental Protection is shamefully refusing to promise public hearings and a public comment period for their Liberty State Park com mercializat ion and privatization plans. Their development proposals, reports and press statements have only pledged what will inevitably be a rigged, invitation-only stakeholder process.

T he gover nor should t o t a l ly a b a n d o n t h e s e plans wh ich would se verely harm Liberty State Park’s public access, but if he doesn’t, the DEP must provide a full public participation process for our treasured park behind Lady Liberty.

DEP Commissioner Bob Martin has ignored letters and resolutions calling for this essential process from the Friends of Liber t y State Park, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, Senators Sandra Cunningham, Stephen Sweeney, Loretta Weinberg, Assemblypeople Raj Mukherji, A ngela McK n ig ht a nd Nick Chiaravalloti and the Jersey City Council and the Hudson County Board

of Freeholders.

The governor’s and commissioner’s failure to let all New Jerseyans express themselves on the official record and listen to the people, and an attempt to ramrod privatization leases into our priceless park would be a subversion of democracy and dishonor Lady Liberty.

It seems that this administration is scared of public opinion as they know t hat t he 40 -yea r broad public consensus has overwhelmingly been for a free and green open space park for future generations.

Outsiders May Be What America Needs

What a difference four years make. At that time, Mitt Romney ate up Donald Trump’s endorsement.

However, now is a different time.

I’ve decided that either the regular Republicans do not want Mr. Trump elected at any price or they don’t want Mr. Trump, an outsider to politics, to win!

Could that really be the reason – who knows? I do think that if people play nice with politicians, they may win; but a big mouth politician, not so much.

Time will tell.

Is M r. Tr u mp a “ big mouth?” You bet he is, but being a person who loves America and an outsider may be just what America needs. God help us one and all as we vote with our hearts.

Howell Police Chief Responds To Investigation Report

HOWELL – Last September, Howell Police were involved in an incident where a young man died while actively engaged with officers and security staff. It was the first such incident in the 43-year history of the department.

Upon notification of this incident by my command personnel, I immediately contacted the Professional Responsibilities Unit (inter nal affairs) of the

Monmouth County Prosecutors Office. Not only is this policy, but it was i mper at ive, due to t he recent events involving use of force by officers across the country, this be investigated impartially by outside agencies. I also responded to the scene.

Transparency in a law en forcement agency is vit al to mai nt ai n t r ust and respect withi n the community we serve. The

Howell Police Department was “walled off ” f rom havi ng a ny sig n if ica nt involvement in this investigation. This is mandated by the Attorney General’s use of force investigation policy. A conf lict review had to be conducted to ensure impartiality. The entire investigation was u nde r t he d i re ct ion of t h e Ne w Je r s e y D iv i sion of Criminal Justice u nder t he aut hor it y of

As the use of force instructor for both the Howell Police Department and t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Police Academy, I knew from the onset the officer’s actions were proper.

I stated such in a press release shortly after the i ncident. T he f i nd i ngs f rom t he MCPO, DCJ, a nd re side nt s of Monmouth County comprised within a grand jury have

I thank the Monmouth C o u n t y P r o s e c u t o r ’s Off ice for their highly professional st af f who conducted an extremely thorough investigation.

Although the officer’s actions were proper, an a d m i n i s t r a t ive r e v ie w of this incident, as in all cr it ical i ncidents, w ill b e c o n d u c t e d . D u r i ng t h i s r e v i e w, p ol i c i e s / procedu res and t act ics

So Much To Do In Monmouth

Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone MONMOUTH COUNTY ‑‑ The past two weekends have been filled with fun festivities throughout the county and the list of activities throughout the rest of March includes parades, plays and performances.

March is the month to celebrate the end of winter by getting outside and with two holidays happening this month, there are plenty of great events to choose

from.

There’s nothing like a parade to usher in the month and the St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Belmar on March 6 was the perfect place to do it. Those of you who were in attendance may have seen me, along with my colleagues, on our 2016 float - it was a great way to participate in the parade – we had the best view! I also had a great time at the Asbury Park St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 13 walking with Freeholder Serena DiMaso, along with Mayor Moor and Council, and look forward to keeping the festive spirit alive in the Highlands in

their parade on March 19.

March 20 marked the first day of spring, so take the kids outside in the Monmouth County Park System. Log onto visitmonmouth.com for a full list of activities throughout the county.

Speaking of kids, by far one of the most rewarding programs I am involved in is the Monmouth Ocean Foundation for Children (MOFFC). I share this honor with ou r Mon mouth Cou nt y Sher iff, Shau n Golden as we are both members of the board of directors. The Foundation’s mission is to supplement the needs of local children

attending specialized educational programs operated by the Monmouth Ocean Educational Services Commission (MOESC). The foundation draws together the various resources of businesses, com munit y groups, and individuals who are interested in enhancing educational opportunities. As a result of reductions in educational funding through the years, en hancement prog rams have been seriously hindered and the Foundation supports the development of enrichment programs and services not financed with tax dollars.

Both Shau n and I,

along with staff at Monmouth-Ocean Educational Services, plan to support a program/facility for adults with autism because they “age out” of the current services available within our county at 21 years old.

This facility would provide programming, services, therapies, and life skills training as these adults deserve a safe environment where they can continue to thrive, close to home.

As the vice chairman of the board for MOFFC, I look forward to sharing more details as they become available, and bringing together services for the autistic adult that have been

desired in our community for a long. Getting this program funded and operational is an initiative that I will be very involved with moving forward and will be relentless in perusing. I will need your assistance in achieving this goal - please join me in providing necessary resources for some of our most vulnerable adults.

If you would like additional information on MOFFC or the Shore Center for Students with Autism, or to donate, please visit the following websites: moesc. org, moffc.org, theshorecenter.org.

Thank you for your continued support!

– Photos courtesy Howell Township Schools A group of Naval officers visited Newbury School and individually read to students in their classrooms.

HOWELL – In the month of March, Howell Township Schools celebrated Read Across America with activities taking place across the district.

Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program introduced by the National Education Association in 1998.

Research indicates that children who are motivated and spend more time reading achieve greater academic success than their peers. The official Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2, the birthday of children’s author Dr. Seuss.

The students of Newbury School spent the morning of March 2 with the sailors from the Joint Base (McGuire – Dix – Lakehurst) to celebrate Read Across America Day in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Captain Bergen, Command Master Chief Parker and over 20 Naval sailors came to Newbury School to read with students.

An assembly was held after breakfast where Master Chief Parker spoke to the students about the importance of reading and then introduced the

4/15/16

Base Commander, Captain Christopher Bergen.

Captain Bergen spoke for several minutes with the students about the importance of reading in chasing their dreams. Following the assembly, student council representatives escorted the remaining Naval guests to the classrooms, where they read to each individual class.

Students at several Howell schools were surprised with a visit from Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat himself.

At Aldrich, The Cat in the Hat (who looked suspiciously like Principal Smith) visited each classroom, before joining fifth grade student council members in a visit to sister school Taunton. At Griebling School, students participated in an entire week of “Seuss Inspired Spirit Days,” that kicked off with a school-wide read aloud in the gym featuring The Cat in the Hat. Griebling students were also invited to bring in photos of themselves and their family members reading at home.

In addition, two Howell Township Schools were fortunate to host published authors this week.

Margie Palatini, author of “Piggie Pie,” visited Greenville School to share her books and discuss the publishing process, thanks to the Greenville PTO. At Adelphia School, Beth Ferry, author of “Stick and Stone,” read to each individual classroom between March 7 to 11.

Many of the Read Across America celebrations incorporated partnerships across classrooms, grade levels and even schools. At LOP, kindergarten students buddied up with second graders for a Read-A-Thon. Sister schools Greenville and Ramtown swapped students to form reading partnerships. Ramtown student council members visited Greenville to read to first and second grade classes, while Greenville kindergarteners visited Ramtown to read with third and fourth graders. Students in the Project PLUS program at Middle School North traveled to Adelphia to read their self-published informational books about the American Revolution to Adelphia second graders.

Jewish Center To Honor Arnie Silverman As Man Of The Year

FREEHOLD – The Freehold Jewish Center will honor Arnie Silverman for his many years off devotion, commitment and philanthropic contributions to the synagogue at its gala. The evening will include dinner and dancing to the music of Epic Soul, a leading show band. Arnie also leads the congregation in its Saturday morning services as Sabbath preliminary service (Shacharis) reader.

Arnie Silverman was born and raised in Brooklyn. He graduated from the New York College of Music and earned a Master’s in Education from Queens College. After teaching three years for the New York Board of Education, he entered the building business and began a successful real estate career. He has expertise in residential, commercial and industrial building development.

His wife, Molly, was born in Germany. She and her family immigrated to the United States in 1949 and settled in Freehold. She is the only child of Holocaust survivors, the late Morris Opatut and Hannah Opatut, who still lives in Freehold. They became members of the Freehold Jewish Center in 1950. Morris Opatut and his brothers became chicken farmers in Freehold as it was their dream to come to America to make a better life for their families. Through their efforts and business acumen, they were proud to become the largest egg producers on the east coast.

Molly attended Hebrew School at Freehold Jewish Center and was educated in the Freehold school system. She graduated from Douglass College and then received her Master’s in Education from Rutgers University.

Arnie and Molly met at the Pines Hotel in the Catskills where they both had summer jobs while in college. Arnie had his own entertaining trio. Molly worked in the office until Arnie secured her a position as a nightclub hostess so that he could spend more time with her during the evenings when he performed. It was a match made in heaven and three years later, in 1969, they were married. Rabbi Louis Tuchman of the synagogue was one of the Rabbis who officiated at their wedding.

Arnie and Molly resided in Clark when they married and later moved to Freehold where they maintained membership with their family in the Freehold Jewish Center. Like their family before them, they have continued to generously support the synagogue.

Arnie and Molly are the proud parents of two children, Debra and Joseph, who both attended Hebrew School at the synagogue where they celebrated Bat and Bar Mitzvah.

Debra is married to Dr. Jonathan Rieber.

They have two children. Joseph is married to Idit. They have two children. Both families live in New York. Both Joseph and Jonathan celebrated their aufrufs at the synagogue and were honored to name their children there.

Family is most important to Arnie. The entire Silverman family makes it a priority to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries, together, as well as family vacations. Arnie and Molly “kvell” and have “naches” that their children have become such wonderful parents and have inherited the qualities of family values.

Molly and Arnie enjoy travelling. They have

They have even slept in a Russian hut in Antarctica. They have visited 43 states and their goal is to complete the remaining seven shortly. They continue their excursions with curiosity, vigor and zest and always look forward to the next new adventure.

Arnie finds peace and inspiration in his daily attendance of minyan and Sabbath services.

It gives him a time to meditate and muse through prayer. He feels that life is very precious and has learned to live life to the fullest. One never knows from one moment to the next what life has to offer. According to Arnie, every day is a new adventure. He feels that the journey through life is the essence of existence. If one doesn’t enjoy navigating the walks of life in a positive manner, then living each day becomes extremely laborious. Arnie has a glass half full mentality. He is very thankful and blessed to wake up each morning to a world of opportunity. He never forgets to thank Hashem for giving him the strength and opportunity to live each day.

The connection between the Silverman family and the synagogue remains strong after four generations, commencing with Molly’s parents. Arnie and Mollie have been long standing members of Freehold Jewish Center for over 40 years. The Silverman family and Hannah Opatut have been proud to have celebrated weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs and the birth of grandchildren and great-grandchildren there. They look forward to celebrating many more “simchas” and happy occasions at their synagogue.

Freehold Jewish Center is 105 years old.

Little did the founding fathers and mothers of the Congregation realize that from humble beginnings there would evolve a large, modern and strong synagogue and congregation.

Throughout the years the synagogue’s leadership has taken us from inception to where it stands today. Kudos to all who came before and to those who will follow and lead it into a new dimension.

CentraState Receives Worksite Innovation Award

FREEHOLD – The CentraState Medical Center is proud to announce that it has received the Worksite Innovation Award from the American Heart Association (AHA) for improving the well-being of its employees with its innovative, Plant-Powered nutrition and lifestyle program.

The award recognizes organizations that have implemented effective programs for

promoting physical activity in the workplace. CentraState is among an elite group of awardees for this important initiative by the AHA given to less than 50 organizations nationwide.

CentraState’s Plant-Powered program, which promotes eating a diet rich in whole, plant foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, was offered solely to

CentraState employees and their spouses last summer and provided the participants with the education and tools necessary to successfully make lifestyle changes to improve their overall health over the course of 12 weeks.

Participants attended classes once a week and discussed their triumphs and challenges, were educated on the week’s topic, had cooking classes, received emails with recipes

and tips to help them outside of the classroom and were given the encouragement and tools needed to make a healthy lifestyle change.

“Our participants became a support group of people learning a new way to take care of themselves, overcoming struggles and finding successes in making changes to their lifestyle,” says program facilitator Anthony Dissen, MA, RDN, Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center. “At the end of the program, all participants experienced improved health and a greater sense of well-being, including a decrease in waist circumference, weight loss, decrease in total cholesterol and improved blood sugar values.”

“We are very proud of all of the participants in the program and their successes, and we are honored that the AHA has recognized CentraState’s Plant-Powered program,” says Tracey Saliski, Wellness program coordinator, CentraState Healthcare System. ”Our participants are continuing their success with a maintenance class meeting once a month offering them continued support to help them maintain the positive changes they’ve made.”

How Statins Cause Diabetes

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

When you are told you have high cholesterol, you assume it comes from eating too much fat, right? After all, cholesterol is a lipid of “fat” and that seems like normal reasoning. If you think high cholesterol is due to a highfat diet, you’re wrong. Very little fat from foods become cholesterol. What makes high cholesterol, is consumption of sugar and carbohydrates, soda, candy, cake, potato chips, bread, pasta and other carbohydrates. So to make this clear, high cholesterol and triglyceride almost always occur as a consequence of eating too many sweets, not butter or eggs, okay?

If your body turns excess sugar into cholesterol, and statins reduce the cholesterol formation, then where does all the sugar go when you take a statin drug?

It’s a good question, and I need to give you an answer so you can get well. If you tell your liver to “knock it off and stop making cholesterol” then it’s going to push all the sugar (glucose) back out of the liver and into your blood stream rather than turn it into cholesterol. It’s just going to lock the door and tell the sugar, “Get out!”

When the doc finds excess sugar in your blood, you’re told you have “diabetes.” Then you start driving in the fast lane of a multi-billion dollar business, one complete with shots, drugs and scary complications (amputations, blindness). If we personally met and you told me you had diabetes, I won’t even take a breath before I ask, “Are you by chance taking a statin?”

Please make sure you have diabetes, the real disorder, and not a man-made

disease induced by a medication you needed for high cholesterol.

This is basic health 101, guys. The treatment plan differs dramatically if you have diabetes versus drug-induced hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

Statins block endogenous production of cholesterol, meaning your internal production, the cholesterol that you make, not eat. You see, many of you still think statins block the fat (cholesterol) you get when you eat a bacon cheeseburger. That’s not true. Statins don’t reduce cholesterol from exogenous (external) sources, that bacon cheeseburger is going straight to your arteries even if you take a statin. So is the cherry croissant you eat for dessert.

The statins offset the cholesterol you make, not eat. You can’t negate a greasy snack with one tiny pill.

Because statins block your own endogenous cholesterol production in the liver, they force your liver to ‘spit out’ the glucose that comes from eating sugary, starchy foods. Normally, your liver would turn that PB & J sandwich into cholesterol, but instead, the glucose gets pushed back into your bloodstream.

In your relentless quest to lower cholesterol, you may be giving yourself diabetes. I recommend reducing cholesterol with diet and exercise and healthy EFAs (essential fatty acids like fish oil, chia seed oil, etc). Can you lower cholesterol without a statin? “Surprise, surprise, surprise” like Gomer Pyle used to say… of course you can! And avoiding statins is way better for your blood sugar levels.

Healthcare Assoc. Names Bartley CEO To Board Of Governors

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare’s owner and CEO, Phil Scalo, was recently elected to the American Healthcare Association’s Board of Governors at its annual convention in San Antonio, TX. He will serve as the independent owner representative for the AHCA Board for 2016.

Serving on the board of governors and as the co-chair of the Independent Owners Council, this experience, as well as that of a healthcare provider and attorney for more than 30 years, provides Scalo with the knowledge and experience to advocate for AHCA members and address the increasingly complex legal and political issues they face in the changing healthcare delivery systems.

In commenting on his agenda as a board member, Scalo said “It is essential that we address affordable access to quality healthcare along with regulations that provide efficient access to Medicare and Medicaid for skilled nursing and assisted living. Quality care for our senior population is essential.”

Laura Hoey, VP of Operations for Bartley Healthcare, said “We are all very proud of our CEO and leader, Phil Scalo, for his appointment to the AHCA Board and for his accomplishments in furthering the quality of care for long-term care residents. The AHCA Board is lucky to have him– as he is a leader with expertise in our field and has a passion for providing quality care.”

When a person becomes totally disabled, he or she may be eligible for Social Security Disability Benef its, should this disability occur prior to eligibility for Social Security Retirement Benefits. One should keep in mind when working with Social Security, you can choose a representative to actually work for you. The Social Security Administration with work with your representative, such as an attorney, providing the appropriate form is executed and submitted.

Should you become totally disabled, you should apply for Social Security Disability Benefits immediately. Those benefits will not begin until the sixth full month of your disability. It should be further noted that there is a one month waiting period for benefits. This waiting period begins with the first full month that Social Security determines you to be totally disabled.

Applications can be made by telephone, or via the Internet. If an application is made over the phone, an appointment for same should be made with a representative of Social Security in advance.

When applying for benefits, one should keep in mind that it does take longer to process disability claims than to process general

retirement claims. This is greatly due to the time it takes to gather, review and assess the nature of your disability and whether you are able to work in any capacity.

An attorney can be helpful in submitting your application for benefits. Working on your behalf, an attorney can be assigned as your representative. All correspondence will then f low through your attorney’s office. This will enable the attorney to facilitate the process by gathering the necessary medical evidence, as well as financial information that is reviewed by the administration.

Should you initially be denied benefits, the attorney can be most helpful in appealing said decision.

Furthermore, attorneys who specialize in Social Security Disability Benefits applications will be able to assist you in filing in the most expeditious manner. Then, in the event of a necessary appeal, your attorney will have a file containing organized evidence to help facilitate your appeal.

Should you have any questions regarding this information or filing for Social Security Disability Benefits, you can contact the attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates and an attorney will be glad to assist you.

they will be. They will be big and exciting and we will start marketing them shortly.”

There will also be a Batman versus Superman Night when Lakewood and West Virginia’s players will be dressed as characters. On the schedule is a Pirates and Princess Party for children.

Circle May 22 on your calendar.

“We will have a big debut of something to happen,” Tafrow said. “You can read into that what you will. It will be with us for good.”

Be on the lookout for porkroll, cheese and egg bobble heads and bobble heads of the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. The South Pacific Dancers will perform in July as part of Hawaiian Luau Day. “There will be post game entertainment with fire throwing objects, an Hawaiian band and a pig roast,” Tafrow said.

It’s all a part of providing family entertainment for spectators of all ages.

“We want people to have a good time and enjoy a winning team in a family friendly environment,” Tafrow said. “We want the first timers to come back. There are people

who have never been here before. We want people to come out and wonder, ‘What’s happening at FirstEnergy Park?’ Our ownership group (the American Baseball company) lets us do what we want. There is always creativity here and the freedom to create is the fun part of it.”

Tafrow said nearly seven million fans have streamed through the turnstiles for regular-season home games.

“We have a chance at hitting seven million by the end of this year,” he said.

“We are successful because we have kept things fresh. We have creative marketing, new programs, new things. We can’t control what happens on the field. Our job is to have people come to the park.

“You don’t have to watch the games. You can walk the concourse, try the food, enjoy the Kids Zone and have fun on Thirsty Thursday, our most popular event. You can enjoy yourself for three or four hours.”

Tafrow said the game day staff consists of nearly 270 persons.

“We have food and beverage people, ushers, ticket takers, parking lot workers, merchandise and security people,” he said. “That is a pretty big staff. They are the first people our fans interact with.

Some of the workers have been here since

we started. Our fans see the same faces when the gates open and it’s definitely warming.”

Most recently the team’s senior vice president of business operations, Tafrow is in charge of all aspects of the BlueClaws’ business operation, including ticket packages and group outings, corporate partnerships, marketing, stadium operations, food and beverage and special events. He is also responsible for continuing, forging and expanding business relationships within the Jersey Shore community.

Tafrow, a graduate of Seton Hall University where he majored in finance, worked in food and beverage, corporate sales and marketing with the BlueClaws before becoming their general manager.

He resides in Hazlet with his wife, Christine, and daughter, Skye.

“We are not brain surgeons or doctors,” he said, “but I think what we do is very important for families and communities.

You see the fruits of your labor come to light. I worked a short stint in corporate for six months to see what the real world is like and I worked a nine to five job.

Here I am working a lot of hours, but I really enjoy it. I hope everyone is that fortunate.”

The Howell Times, March 26, 2016, Page 15 For the week of March 26- April 1

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a spring in your step. The first week of spring might bring you a chance to widen your circle of acquaintances. Group activities and new friendships could be on your schedule in the week to come.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The simplest solution will solve the most difficult problem. You may think you can shift your funds around like a shell game, but in the end you will see that complicated techniques won’t give satisfying results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Prepare to parade with the paparazzi. Your popularity grows by leaps and bounds especially in the first part of the week. This is a great time to interview for a new job, ask for favors, or meet the guy or gal of your dreams.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be able to recite the rules chapter and verse. It could be a good week to investigate alternative belief systems or to listen avidly to your significant other’s ideas. By embracing new ideas you will grow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A round of truth or dare might be in your future. Be truthful to win this week. A casual acquaintance may have the knowledge, know-how, or connections to help you make a wise and possibly lucrative business decision.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Call the shots and use all the tricks of the trade. During the week ahead you can concentrate on becoming a new improved you. Focus on achieving your goals and learn some new ways to accomplish them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your attention

to workplace politics during the week ahead may improve a relationship. Your personal charm is at a high point. Use it to capture someone’s heart or to make working conditions more harmonious.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Spin a yarn into something useful. You know how to get your point across in a useful and productive way. Say the right thing this week and you will enlighten someone giving them a chance to make positive changes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It is the easiest thing in the world to just be you. It is much harder to be what others expect you to be.

In the week ahead don’t let anyone make you feel unworthy or undeserving. Accentuate the positive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tie up all your loose ends and decorate them with a bow.

Get major financial matters wrapped up as quickly as possible because by the end of the week you may be tempted to gamble on a losing proposition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It is time to make your move. Peer opinions that have kept you from making a change will shift for the better. Shop for major appliances or anything that should have a long life and aesthetic appeal early in the week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Show a united front, not a divided front. As this week unfolds some key people may not agree with you, but you can support their right to have differing opinions. Use friendly persuasion to achieve compromises. (c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Food, Glorious Food

Dear Readers, We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward.

They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said, there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis ‑ Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who’d have known?)

Pumpkin Seeds ‑ Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magnesium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health.

Leafy Vegetables ‑ Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available t hat a re loa ded i n healthy stuff.

Finally, chamomile tea is almost as

good as a kiss g o o d n ig h t .

It is a g reat a n d h e a lt hy way to end the day (it is related to the daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress.

And for my male readers, I am not sure of the nut r itional benef its to women, but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell.

I especially enjoyed sharing this information in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety .It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor.

Wishing you a great week with less stress.

Wolfgang Puc

Brilliant Bolognese: The Classic Italian Sauce Comes Together In A Few Simple Steps

By Wolfgang Puck

HEARTY BEEF BOLOGNESE Makes about 5 cups (1.25 L), 4 to 6 servings 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion, chopped 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 1 pound (500 g) coarsely ground beef Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 to 3 tablespoons tomato paste 3 cups (750 mL) canned whole tomatoes, preferably San Marzano variety 1 cup (250 mL) water 2 small sprigs fresh rosemary 2 small sprigs fresh oregano 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy cream Pinch crushed red pepper f lakes 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, optional Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute, stirring frequently, until the onions just begin to turn a deep golden brown color, about 10 minutes.

Add the beef and saute for 3 minutes, break-

ing it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Continue cooking until all the moisture given up by the meat has evaporated and the meat has lost all its pink color and starts to caramelize and turn brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and stir well to combine it with the meat, sautéing until the tomato paste darkens in color slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and 1 cup water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with the wooden spoon.

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat low, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the rosemary and oregano sprigs, and stir in the cream. Season to taste with the red pepper f lakes, if you’d like a little spiciness, and more black pepper.

To heighten the tomato f lavor, stir in the sugar, if desired.

Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very thick, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Serve with your pasta of choice, or transfer to covered containers and refrigerate for up to three days before use.
