It promotes their resilience and teaches them how to be contributing, productive members of a group.” GROW classrooms are student-led learning communities supported by nurturing, specially trained staff. Instructors help children develop emotional intelligence through a series of lessons that draw on the latest child-development research fused with the timeless wisdom of the Torah. Kids learn to appreciate the differing perspectives of others, to respond empathetically to challenges and conflict, and to look for peaceful, win-win solutions. Children who develop these
It’s time to bring our troops home. Bring them home from Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Bring them home from Germany, South Korea and Japan. Bring them home from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Oman. Bring them home from Niger, Chad and Mali. Bring them home from Turkey, the Philippines, and northern Australia. That’s not what’s going to happen, of course. The U.S. military reportedly has more than 1.3 million men and women on active duty, with more than 200,000 of them stationed overseas in nearly every country in the world. Those numbers are likely significantly higher in keeping with the Pentagon’s policy of not fully disclosing where and how many troops are deployed for the sake of “operational security and denying the enemy any advantage.” As investigative journalist David Vine explains, “Although few Americans realize it, the United States likely has more bases in foreign lands than any other people, nation, or empire in history.” Don’t fall for the propaganda, though: America’s military forces aren’t being deployed abroad to protect our freedoms here at home. Rather, they’re being used

For Disease Control) in 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, and wheezing in otherwise healthy people and in individuals susceptible with compromised immune conditions. Mold or mold spores may cause asthma attacks in people who have asthma and are allergic to mold. Even in some nonallergic individuals, mold can cause symptoms of irritation in the eyes, skin, and airways. For example, the “black mold” Stachybotrys, along with some other types of mold, produces toxins known as mycotoxins that can cause irritation of the skin and airways in susceptible individuals. Sometimes, people may develop severe reactions to mold exposure. Symptoms of severe reactions, which are uncommon, include fever and difficulty
One of Hallandale Beach’s city streets may soon become a lot more user-friendly. The City and its Department of Public Works will host a public workshop January 28th – 30th to come up with concept alternatives to improve Atlantic Shores Boulevard, between Federal Hwy/US1 and Diplomat Parkway. The public is invited to participate during the workshop to provide input and help craft a strategy to implement enhancements along Atlantic Shores Boulevard. Complete Streets are part of a broader effort to shift from the conventional approach of designing our transportation network only for automobiles and provide people more choices in the way they get around. The goal, according to Keven Klopp, Assistant City Manager, is to provide all residents with safe, functional access along City streets. Aiming for a walkable environment is important in terms of quality of life to residents. “By bringing together local stakeholders and residents to Hallandale, Page 7A

How Will Today’s Children ‘GROW’ to be Positive Role Models? By Rabbi Moishe Kievman - Chabad Chayil
It’s no secret that children today have access to more information and to more types of media than ever before. The technology they use to communicate, learn, and be entertained seems to demand everincreasing amounts of their attention and can be overwhelming. They are often exposed to confusing messages that may contradict the values their parents and schools are trying to instill. In such a fast-paced world with so many competing influences, it can be hard for kids to stop and think about their choices so they can achieve their best selves. What kids need right now is a place where they can gain confidence in themselves, develop compassion for others,
and learn how to become positive role models. CKids’ GROW project, launching a new season this winter at Chabad Chayil, is designed to meet the needs of today’s children. GROW gives them a safe place to practice foundational skills such as interpersonal awareness, self care, and character development, in a wholesome group environment. The GROW curriculum has been thoughtfully designed by top experts in the fields of education and parenting, to empower kids with the skills and strengths to be positive leaders. Dr. Michael Ben-Avie, PhD, a professor at the Yale Child Research Center, is part of the GROW research team. “What GROW gives young children,” he said, “is a sense of competence
