By Chris Lundy MONMOUTH COUNTY – “Where did you sleep last night?”

A simple question for most of us. Not so simple for the small portion of the population that is out of the public eye most of the time: the homeless.

This was the question asked to people coming in to the annual point-in-time count throughout the country. It’s meant to provide a snapshot of the larger problem of shelter insecurity – when people are not sure where they will be living.

In Monmouth County, the counts were conducted at the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission in Asbury Park, New Beginnings Agape (Homeless - See Page 2)

Council Opposes Waste Transfer Station - Again

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – At the Jan. 22 township council meeting, the council unanimously approved a resolution stating the governing body’s opposition to the proposed solid waste transfer station on Randolph Road.

The site, proposed by Resource Engineering, LLC, would be located on Block 5 Lot 4 at 34 Randolph Road in the township.

The resolution states: “Resource Engineering has indicated that it will receive Type 13 and Type 13C waste at the proposed solid waste transfer

station,” and “transfer stations are specifically prohibited in all zones in Howell pursuant to Zoning Ordinance 188-67 of the Township of Howell.”

According to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste, Type 13 consists of bulky waste, such as furniture, appliances, or vehicle parts; Type 13c refers to construction and demolition waste.

The resolution goes on to state that the Board of Chosen Freeholders must also consider (Station - See Page 4)

Homeless:

Continued From Page 1 Christian Center in Freehold, St. Mark’s Soup Kitchen in Keansburg, and Pilgrim Baptist Church in Red Bank.

There were three locations in Ocean County that were used: the Lakewood Community Center, Ocean Community Church in Manahawkin, and the BEAT Center in Toms River. There were hygiene kits, snacks, and other donations available for them.

There were multiple reasons for this event, said Kathryn Colhoun, director of community resource development for Ocean Partnership for Children, while at the Toms River location. First, it helps local service agencies get an idea of how many homeless there are in an area. Second, it tells the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development how to distribute aid. Third, the direct giveaways to the area’s homeless bring them in where they can partake of other services.

The county Health Department was offering flu shots. Mental health, basic health screenings, legal services, veterans affairs, family planning, and of course housing situations were all part of the equation.

Whether they were a veteran and are able to apply for benefits, or a victim of domestic violence, or in need of help with addiction, there were options available for them.

“A lot of people are getting linked to other services,” Colhoun said. “The goal is to count the homeless and get them services, but it’s really open to anyone in need.”

Everyone is asked where they are in the process of getting food stamps or housing from various agencies, said Rose Bulbach, coordinator of Human Services Advisory Council for the county department of human services. Some will say that they were already turned down. To this, staff will tell them to try again because criteria changes and people’s personal situations change.

Not everyone can come to one of these centers. Volunteers were also going out to where homeless are known to be and engaging them there.

Last year, NJCounts 2018 reported 9,303 men, women and children who were homeless on the night of Jan. 23, 2018. This was an increase of 771 from 2017, according to a press release.

In Ocean County, there were 311 people experiencing homelessness in 2018. Of those, 52 were identified as chronically homeless.

This number might be impacted this year by a number of other factors, according to NJCounts. The current federal shutdown will put government employees at risk of missing rent or mortgage and might cause them to lose their home. Additionally, federal programs are lacking funding that would normally help people who are at risk, causing them to slip closer to being homeless.

Other reasons that the count might be higher include less funding for affordable rental housing, and the increasing cost of health insurance and treatments.

Monarch Housing Associates is coordinating the count, and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency funds NJCounts 2019.

Federal Workers Fed By JBJ Soul Kitchen, Murphy Foundation

–Photo by Chris Lundy The JBJ Soul Kitchen hosted federal employees who were not working due to the government shutdown.

By Chris Lundy and Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The JBJ Soul Kitchen and the Murphy Family Foundation provided meals for federal workers and their families who were impacted by the government shutdown.

The Soul Kitchen answers the problem of food insecurity that comes in many forms, founder Dorothea Bongiovi said. They held one lunch on Jan. 22 in their Red Bank location, and one on Jan. 23 in their Toms River location on Hooper Avenue.

Tammy Murphy, the wife of the governor, contacted Bongiovi and made a donation from their foundation in order to feed the employees.

“In line with our mission, Federal workers are encouraged to join us for a delicious meal and to learn about additional support and resources available in our community,” a Facebook statement from JBJ Soul Kitchen read.

The restaurant, located at 1769 Hooper Ave., serves both paying and in-need customers.

“This move is part of the County’s ongoing efforts to consolidate County operations and get County offices out of leased buildings,” said Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto, liaison to the Monmouth County Health Department, in a press release.

Monmouth County Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, Freeholder Susan M. Kiley, Freeholder Ger r y P. Scharfenberger, Ph.D., Freeholder Director Thomas A. Ar none, Impreveduto, County Clerk Christine Hanlon, and Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden were present to commemorate the event.

Continued From Page 1 the “absence of sufficient existing or available sites for solid waste facilities and develop and implement a solid waste management plan which meets the needs of every municipality within the County.”

Following a heavily attended planning board meeting on Jan. 25, 2018 where residents came out in droves to oppose the project, Howell Township Council sent a letter to the freeholders declaring their official stance against the waste transfer site on Feb. 21, 2018, due to “the availability of solid waste management services.”

Since that time, a traffic study has been commissioned for the area, according to township officials, but has yet to take place.

On approving the resolution, Councilman Thomas Russo told The Howell Times, “I think it was the right thing to do. It is important that we as the new governing body let the residents know that we do not approve of any proposed expansion of the current waste facility.”

During the meeting, Councilman John Bonevich made a motion to exclude the resolution (PA-16), among others, from the consent agenda in order to give it more significance.

“We just wanted to vote on it separately…It was adopted. We just thought it deserved more attention than to be grouped in with 25 other resolutions,” he said. “In this last election all three new council members ran in opposition to the waste station. Now as newly elected I thought we should follow through on that promise and show unity.”

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials From The Desk Of The

Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone

I hope everyone is staying warm, happy and healthy this winter season. It sure has been cold the last few days but on the bright side, summer is only a little more than 100 days away!

It has been an eventful few weeks at the county. During our last Freeholder meeting, the Freeholders honored the new Ms. Wheelchair New Jersey, Millie Gonzalez from Union Beach.

Millie’s accomplishments are incredible and she is a true inspiration to us all for overcoming so many obstacles and achieving her goals.

The Board looks forward to continuing our support for her in Little Rock, Arkansas where she will compete in the Ms. Wheelchair America 2020 competition this July!

On another note, I want to congratulate Geoff Karch on the grand opening of

Local Businesses, Made In Monmouth Support The Community his new business, the Colts Neck StillHouse. My colleagues and I attended the ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening last week. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and it is always great to support new businesses that join our Grown in Monmouth family. It’s equally important to maintain our great relationship with the small business community and assist where we can.

Speaking of local businesses, we are less than three months away from

our ninth annual Made in Monmouth event, which will return April 13 at Monmouth University. Last year, we had over 5,000 shoppers and more than 260 vendors all selling items made right here in Monmouth County.

Serving as liaison to the Monmouth County Division of Economic Development, I take great pride in hosting events like Made in Monmouth and I look forward to seeing you all there!

On a separate note, my Healthy Eating Initiative started back up last week af-

ter taking a break for a month during the holidays. The students were so excited to be back and to get back to their projects at the farm. Currently, the students are working on their gardens which they will create at their school.

Last week they brainstormed with one another about what types of plants will be best to grow in their gardens. I am excited to see what the students come up with and to visit their gardens.

Besides continuing with my Healthy Eating Initiative, I also continued

with my school visits. This month I visited with the students at Memorial Middle School in Eatontown and spoke with them about the roles of County government and my job as the Freeholder Director. I’ve had a great time this school year so far meeting with the students and teachers throughout the County and I look forward to continuing my visits for the remainder of the school year!

As always, it’s a privilege to serve as your Freeholder Director.

Residents Older Than 50 Should Get Shingles Vaccine shingles.

“Shingles is a very painful condition, and it carries serious risks, particularly for those of an advanced age, but it can still impact people who are younger,” Senator Singer explained.

“The most effective way

to reduce your risk is to get vaccinated, plain and simple. I urge all NJ residents who are over 50 to get vaccinated now. The shingles vaccine is virtually painless, safe, and widely-available. There is no reason to suffer.”

One in three Americans over the age of 60 will get shingles, according to the Center for Disease Control.

Shingles is a painful rash caused by reactivation of the chickenpox virus, which remains dormant in the body even after recovery

from chickenpox.

The CDC also reported that shingles is becoming more common in the U.S., emphasizing the need for Senator Singer’s legislation to raise awareness of the benefits of getting vaccinated.

Smith’s Frederick Douglass Anti-Human Trafficking Legislation Becomes Law the age of 20 and became a leader in the f ight to abolish slavery and, later, to ending Jim Crow laws. “A gif ted orator, author, editor, statesman (and Republican), he died in 1895.”

Ken neth B. Mor r is, J r. , g r e a t - g r e a t - g r e a t g r a nd son of Fre de r ick Douglass and President of Fre de r ick Dougla ss Family Initiatives, stated that “If my great ancestor were here today, I believe he wou ld be d r iven to lead the struggle against contemporar y for ms of slavery. My family sends a special thanks to Representative Christopher Smith from New Jersey, the entire U.S. Congress

a n d t h e P r e s i d e n t fo r permitting the Douglass legacy to do just that.”

Smith has previously authored four major U.S. laws to fight trafficking: the landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act (P.L. 106-386) that started it all, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (P.L. 108-193), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005 ( P.L. 109-164) a nd t he I nt e r n a t io n a l Meg a n’s Law (P.L. 114-119).

dophiles who may seek to travel for the purposes of sex trafficking of children and other forms of child sexual exploitation; since the law’s enactment in February, 2016, it has resulted in 3,442 denials of entry of convicted pedophiles seeking to enter a country.

A Conversation With Martha Washington

WALL – Portrayed by Pat Jordan, join us for an historical interpretation in the Allaire Chapel of Martha Washington, as she offers her insights into her life and times and the man who became the First President of the United States.

Seating is limited!

Although Martha Washington was never considered a beauty, the diminutive “Lady Washington” was known for her deep compassion and for her ability to listen and converse with interest and intelligence with people from all walks of life and in all social circumstances. Martha could dance a lively jig and enjoyed a rollicking reel. She ran Mount Vernon while “The General” was busy fighting the Revolution. And nothing delighted her more than the sound of children’s laughter, although her four children all died by age 27. This “most agreeable consort” partnered our First President, traveling great distances to be by his side to inspire her husband and the troops.

And she bore great hardships apart from

her husband, including long absences during the years of his Presidency. Martha compared her life with George to “two coals glowing in the fire.”

Pat Jordan, an accomplished actor, operatic singer and historian, has been working with the American Historical Theatre since 1992. With a degree in theatre from Villanova, training at Juilliard Opera Workshops, and years of experience with the German Theatre Guild and AHT, Ms. Jordan’s roles have included Shakespearean heroines, Victorian Music Hall comediennes, and opera divas.

Pat has appeared at venues that include the White House Visitors Center, Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institute, National Archives, Franklin Institute, National Constitution Center, Union League, National Portrait Galler y, Deshler-Mor r is House and Mount Vernon.

The Historic Village at Allaire hosts this event on Feb. 16, 2-3 p.m. Cost is $15.

Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management Magnet Program

FREEHOLD – On certain days the delicious scents of baked goods and savory foods can greet people walking along Robertsville Road in Freehold. The mouthwatering treats aren’t being made in a downtown bakery or cafe, but are created inside Freehold High School, where students in the Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management Magnet Program are hard at work in specialized kitchen facilities.

The Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management Magnet Program equips students to turn their passions into a career by being immersed in a four-year course of study.

This consists of a wide range of courses, training, experiences, and activities in the food service career path.

Students’ coursework is enhanced by operating all facets of a fully-functioning restaurant, the Five Star Cafe, which is open to the public on select days during the week.

Students work both in the front and back of the house. By operating every aspect of the restaurant, students receive instruction in culinary arts, restaurant and menu planning, executive chef functions, hospitality management, food/beverage industry operations, cost control, purchasing and storage, event planning and management, health and safety, and applicable law and regulations.

In addition to rigorous coursework, the program enhances student involvement by providing career exploration, leadership activities, community service learning projects, and professional skill competitions, all available through SkillsUSA, a national leadership organization. By hosting events ranging from demonstrations by local industry professionals from such organizations as Wegmans Inc. and Trinity Seafood to “Iron Chef” style competitions, students are given ample opportunity to hone their skills.

Students in the program also participate in community service work including raising money annually in a partnership with their art peers during the Empty Bowls fundrais-

er. Art students create handmade ceramic bowls that are sold alongside a selection of soups made by the culinary students. In the fall of 2018, the fundraiser generated $1,100 for the local food bank, Fulfill Monmouth & Ocean.

Reaching beyond a traditional high school experience, students are prepared for the opportunity to earn the National Restaurant Association’s ServSafe certification, an industry requirement. All students graduate the program with the NOCTI Food Prep Certification. Through robust career portfolio development, students not only gain advanced training but can earn college credits through partnerships with several colleges and universities.

Alumni of the Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management Magnet Program currently hold positions in all areas of the industry including Head Chocolatier at Disney Co., producer at the Food Network, sous chef at Wegmans, Inc., as well as food stylists, nutritionists, and sommeliers. A graduate was a member of the first U.S. team to earn the gold at the Culinary Olympics, Bocuse D’ Or in Lyon, France. Another graduate is a sous chef at Eleven Madison Park, voted Best Restaurant in the World, 2017.

The majority of the program’s graduates continue their education by completing an associate, bachelor, or master level degree in various areas of the hospitality industry.

Graduates have continued their hospitality education at the Culinary Institute of America, Cornell University, Johnson & Wales University, Fairleigh Dickinson, Stockton University, University of Delaware, Penn State, and many more.

The real-world skills gained by participating students led to the Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management Program being featured in National Geographic in 2014.

This hands-on program provides ample opportunities for students interested in any aspect of culinary arts to pursue their passion.

FREEHOLD – New Jersey 4-H members attended the National Agri-Science Youth Summit at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Maryland earlier this month. The purpose of the conference was to provide members with the opportunity to learn about and develop an understanding of the critical role that agricultural science innovation plays in addressing worldly issues.

The 24 New Jersey 4-H members joined more than 250 individuals representing 27 states at the National Agri-Science Youth Summit. One of the New Jersey delegates who attended the conference was Monmouth County’s own Zahra Clarke of Freehold.

During the summit, participants attended workshops, engaged in hands-on activities, listened to guest speakers and interacted with agricultural researchers and advocates who helped the delegates gain knowledge and skills in agri-science. Topics included food security, nutrition, energy, sustainability and career opportunities.

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

Take A Fish Oil With Your Statin - It Works Better

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Over 15.5 million Americans have CAD, Coronary Artery Disease and every 42 seconds a person has a heart attack (termed myocardial infarction or MI). A third of this people die. The conventional thought process to prevent an MI is to lower cholesterol.

Whether or not that approach works is up for debate, but the reality is these drugs are extraordinarily popular with physicians and patients. The word “statin” is a household name!

Pharmaceutical companies harvest 25 billion in revenue annually from their use which is in everyone now, even kids. Statins come with some ‘drug mugging’ though, among the stolen nutrients: CoQ10, selenium, zinc, vitamin D, E and copper.

There are millions of people taking statins and I can make your statin work better! Take them with fish oils!

Fish oils are supplements that are known to boost cardiovascular health. There have been two trials that recently showed unprecedented results. The JELIS Trial and the REDUCE-IT Trial. These studies used an EPA only drug, Epadel and Vascepa, respectively. These are purified fish oils that require prescription and do not contain and DHA. Keep in mind that both EPA and DHA are in regular supplements, so if you look at your fish oil at home, you’ll see both EPA and DHA listed on the Supplement Facts Box. Just FYI, the trials above were essentially self-funded using medications that they themselves manufacture, not fish oils from a health food store. The purpose of the JELIS Study was to

find out if EPAs would enhance a statin, or if a statin alone was enough. Every person in the study was on a statin. Cholesterol numbers came down in both groups (the statin only group, and the statin plus EPA group).

But this part’s excellent. After 4 and a half years, the most dangerous and potentially catastrophic consequences were significantly lower in the group who took EPA with their statin. Their incidents were reduced, in some cases by up to 28 percent, for example in the group of people with unstable angina.

One potential mechanism of action is that EPA reduces your body’s production of arachidonic acid (AA), which is an inflammatory compound. Reducing AA improves the outcome of many conditions, including Alzheimer’s, depression and autoimmune diseases.

The ratio of EPA to AA in your body is very important - that’s the message I’d like to get out there. You want the EPA to be higher than the AA so taking a high EPA fish oil is what works. If you’d like to read my awesome much longer and more comprehensive article on this topic, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you next week.

In the meantime, if you take a statin medication right now, consider a fish oils supplement, one that is tilted in the direction of EPA versus DHA. There are brands sold at health food stores, and online like this. You can also ask about the fish oil medications available by prescription, if you prefer this route for insurance purposes, or because that’s what was given to participants in the above-mentioned clinical trials.

Honesty Is The Best Policy In This Instance Dear Joel, I have a situation and don’t know how to handle it. I work in a hotel in Ocean County. I referred a good friend of mine to my supervisor for an opening we had at the reception desk. I was looking forward to working with her. The work conditions are pleasant and the pay is good. She has been out of work for over a year.

After the interview I asked my supervisor if she was going to be hired. His response was that she met all the qualifications but would not be hired. His issue was her tattoos which he said is not the image the hotel wishes to portray. She does have an abundance of tattoos on her arms. My question, Joel, is should I tell her?

Answer:

Ordinarily, I would tell you not to tell her but; you are the one who referred her to the potential job. There is no rule which prohibits someone from not hiring based on tattoos (as far as I know). I would think that most law firms, Doctor’s offices and other places of employment may respond in the same way. She may have to look for work of a different nature.

I wish her luck in her job search.

Inside The Law Let’s Start Holding Insurance Robert C. Shea Esq. Companies Responsible For Their Willingness To Delay, Deny And Defend By: Michael Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Michael J. Deem, Esq, of R.C. Shea & Associates is a member of the New Jersey Association for Justice Board of Governors. NJAJ and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support A-4293, a bill which protects insurance consumers from unreasonable delays in the payment or denials of legitimate claims.

When someone buys an insurance policy, that person has a simple expectation - which is that the insurance provider will be there in their customer’s time of need.

Too often, however, insurers seek to avoid paying claims in order to protect their bottom lines. We are very concerned about the rising trend of insurance companies acting in bad faith by unreasonably delaying or denying payment that is justly due. This is practice is unfair and wrong. Insurers should have their customers, not their shareholders be their highest priority.

A-4293 recognizes this obvious injustice and remedies it by allowing those filing claims the first-party right to sue their insurance companies for bad faith if and when those companies fail to properly settle claims.

Insurance companies have civil and criminal remedies available to hold people accountable if they commit insurance fraud. They have the Office of Insurance Fraud as an arm of state government to investigate and prosecute insurance fraud when the companies are victim. But, the honest consumer does not now have a remedy against an insurance company when a valid claim is denied or delayed.

This bill levels the playing field so consumers are protected when they are the victim of insurance fraud.

Whether it is for claims relating to declared disasters or automobile coverage that they are required by the State of New Jersey to purchase, the first-party right to sue levels the proverbial playing field. It allows consumers to hold powerful insurance companies accountable for delaying or denying just payment to their customers.

Automobile insurance is perhaps

Michael J. Deem

the only product that people are required to purchase but are then forced to seek permission in order to use it.

Additionally, the provider of that insurance product is then permitted to tell the consumer that he or she cannot use a product that they have already purchased. A-4293 corrects this situation.

This bill seeks recognition of that fact that insurance companies should be held to account when the fail to act in good faith. This is a simple expectation that every consumer has when they choose to do business with any company. The fact that auto insurance consumers are required by law to purchase this service and that they are putting the wellbeing of themselves and their loved one in the hands of the insurance companies only increases the stakes.

In far too many cases, insurance companies delay, deny and defend claims.

This dishonest practice forces their customers to fight for needed medical care, treatment for injuries or funds to repair damaged property. When an insurance company unjustly delays or denies the payment of legitimate claims, consumers must have the right to go to court.

Presently, consumers in this state have no practical remedy if their insurance company unreasonably delays or refuses payment on a claim.

Insurance customers are entitled to have their claims resolved in a fair and equitable manner without unreasonable delay; this is why they need the ability to seek redress when an insurance company acts in bad faith.

We strongly encourage our readers to contact their Legislature and ask him/ her to pass A-4293 which would provide much needed insurance consumer protection. R.C. Shea & Associates has form letters and e-mail available should you require assistance with your effort to contact your Legislature. Please do not hesitate to call us: 732-505-1212.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Rabies Awareness: Keep Your Pet’s Vaccination Up To Date

BELMAR – Following the report of a raccoon attack in Belmar, the Monmouth County Health Department (MCHD) reminds residents that rabies in wildlife continues to pose a risk to pets and people.

A Belmar resident was bitten by a raccoon in their backyard, which resulted in the resident receiving rabies post-exposure

treatment.

The suspected raccoon has been captured by the Belmar Police Department with assistance from the Monmouth County SPCA, the agency that provides animal control services to the borough, and will be tested for rabies.

Because rabies is fatal once symptoms

develop, the MCHD advises residents to take precautions to prevent the spread of rabies by protecting their pets.

“Protecting your pets by keeping them current on their rabies vaccine is an important safeguard between wildlife rabies and human exposure,” said Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto, liaison to the MCHD. “Not

only does the vaccine keep your pet safe, but it can help keep you and your family safe as well.”

In addition to vaccinating your pets for rabies, there are several things residents can do to protect themselves and their pets: • Avoid wildlife and animals you do not know.

• Keep your pet on a leash. Do not allow your pet to roam; it can come in contact with rabid wildlife.

• Never feed or touch wild or stray animals, especially stray cats, bats, skunks, raccoons, foxes or groundhogs.

• Teach your children that they should tell you if they were bitten or scratched by an animal.

• Call your doctor and the local health department if bitten or exposed to saliva or blood of a wild or stray animal.

• Contact your veterinarian if your pet was exposed to a bat, raccoon, skunk or other wild carnivore.

“If you are bitten by an animal, wash the wound immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention,” said Christopher Merkel, Monmouth County’s Public Health Coordinator.

According to the CDC, rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the CDC each year from New Jersey occur in wild animals like raccoons, skunks and bats.

The CDC describes that the presence of rabies in all wildlife may be indicated by unprovoked aggression, impaired movement, paralysis, lack of coordination, unusually friendly behavior and/or disorientation.

CDC explains that the rabies virus infects the central nervous system, ultimately causing disease in the brain and death. The early symptoms of rabies in people are similar to that of many other illnesses, including fever, headache and general weakness or discomfort. As the disease progresses, more specific symptoms appear and may include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, agitation, hypersalivation (increase in saliva), difficulty swallowing and hydrophobia (fear of water). Death usually occurs within days of the onset of these symptoms.

For more information, call the Monmouth County Health Department at 732-431-7456.

State Senator Speaks with MRHS Business Administration Students

MARLBORO – Students in the Business Administration Magnet Program at Marlboro High School recently had a visit from state Sen. Vin Gopal. The senator spoke about his experiences as a small business owner as well as efforts across the state to help the business sector. He described how he has been working on reducing the amount of red tape business owners encounter when trying to start out.

During a question and answer session, students were particularly interested in how the senator became an entrepreneur. Sen. Gopal offered valuable guidance to those in the group looking to open their own businesses in the future.

The Business Administration Magnet Program offers a four-year program of study to students who wish to develop their interests in the areas of business and management. The program is focused through the study of targeted courses, which include finance, management, economics, law, and computer technology. Classroom activities are regularly augmented by guest lectures.

St udents are encou raged to apply and practice the academic knowledge gained in the classroom through participation in various competitions sponsored by the Future Business Leaders of America and the Federal Reserve Bank. Some of these include the Euro Challenge, Fed Challenge, DECA, and FBLA, Team Ethics Challenge, and Con su mer Bowl. I n 2016, st udent s placed fourth in the nation in the national FBLA Accounting I and Accounting II competitions. In 2017, students finished second in the National FBLA Accounting II competition and finished first in the Team Ethics Challenge. Also in 2017, our students finished in the top 13 in the Tri-State Area Euro and Fed Challenges. These co-curricular activities, as well as other opportunities afforded by our close proximity to financial and cor porate institutions in the greater metropolitan area, play an integral role in st udents’ personal and academic growth. Students will be prepared to attend a college or university with a foundation secured in human relations skills, rigorous academic training, and an appreciation for both social and ethical responsibility.

Business Administration Magnet Program students are regularly admitted to prestigious colleges and universities such as Universit y of Pen nsylvania Wharton School, Villanova, Princeton, Har vard, Colu mbia, Cor nell, Du ke, Ca r neg ie Mel lon , N Y U, a nd m a ny others.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of FEB 2 - FEB 8

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make wise decisions that make sense as soon as possible. You wish to be magnanimous but could be too many demands on your wallet. Accept apologies and be generous with loved ones within reasonable limits.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As this week unfolds new ideas and creative interests could monopolize your time and cause you to neglect other responsibilities. You will be smart to spend more time on planning an improved career path.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A partner or loved may give you a nudge, urging you to take a chance on something new. In the upcoming week it will be easy to make apologies, mend fences and receive support from important people in your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your kindness and generosity may not become headline news, but your reward will be felt within your heart. As this week unfolds you may be more generous and charitable than usual. Spend money thoughtfully.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a leap of faith.

Rest assured that everything you begin today will turn out for the best. This is a good week to make decisions or promises as your hopes will be fulfilled and the outcome will exceed your expectations.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Start Your Day With A Healthy Indulgence

By Wolfgang Puck

Many health-conscious people try to avoid eating egg yolks because of their high fat and cholesterol content. While there is some debate over whether or not you need to eliminate yolks entirely, I understand the need some people feel to eat only egg whites at breakfast.

Like most things in life, however, it is possible to find a middle ground. Consider the happy coincidence that most doctors recommend a daily cholesterol intake of no more than 300 milligrams per day, and that one large egg yolk contains around that same amount.

So, if you avoid other cholesterol sources during the rest of your day - red meat, skin-on poultry, dairy products, lard and shortening, and saturated vegetable oils like coconut oil - you may be able to spoil yourself occasionally with one yolk.

But how do you best enjoy it? I suggest combining the yolk with several egg whites for scrambled eggs or an omelet. It will add a welcome touch of rich flavor and luscious texture to egg whites that can often turn out rubbery or dry when cooked on their own. Plus, the yolk will also give the eggs a sunny yellow color that will make you think you’re indulging yourself before you even take your first bite. When the yolk is combined with four large egg whites in a generous single serving and prepared using nonstick cooking spray, the results fall well within generally accepted guidelines for a healthy low-fat diet.

FRENCH-STYLE EGG WHITE OMELET WITH VEGETABLES Serves 1 4 large egg whites 1 large egg Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray 1/4 cup (60 mL) thinly sliced asparagus

1/4 cup (60 mL) thinly sliced snow peas 1 teaspoon minced shallot 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, Italian parsley, or other fresh herbs, for garnish In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, egg and a little salt and pepper to taste until well blended and slightly frothy. Set aside.

Heat a 10-inch (25-cm) nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Spray lightly with the cooking spray. Add the asparagus, snow peas and shallot, and saute, stirring continuously, until the vegetables are bright green and tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and keep warm.

Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Return it to medium heat and spray again with nonstick cooking spray. Add the egg mixture. Grasping the pan by its handle, start shaking the pan back and forth while stirring the eggs slowly with the back of a fork, gently lifting and moving the cooked egg so that the liquid egg slips beneath it. After about 30 seconds, the egg will have formed a uniformly cooked but still fairly moist pancake shape.

To fold the omelet, immediately tilt the pan to about a 45-degree angle by raising the handle, so that the cooked eggs nearest the handle begin to fall and fold over the filling; you may use the fork or a spatula to help this happen. Then, hold the far edge of the pan over a heated serving plate and continue tipping the handle up, so that the omelet folds over on itself and rolls out of the pan onto the plate.

To fill the omelet, use a small, sharp knife to cut a shallow slit lengthwise along the center of the top of the omelet, cutting only through the upper layer of egg.

Spoon the reserved sauteed vegetables into and spilling out of the slit.

Garnish the omelet with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
