By Mark Bator HOWELL – The physical competition known as wrestling extends back thousands of years, even predating the early Olympic Games in Ancient Greece. Of course, the rules have been modified since the brutality of the ancient games, and while learning the basics is necessary to becoming a successful wrestler, mastering the proper techniques is pivotal to becoming successful in competition. In an effort to always expand its list of program offerings to the greater community, the Howell P.A.L. has partnered with a local wrestling coach with a program that teaches youngsters
the basics of wrestling. The partnership is truly a unique one, bringing together members of the Howell community to put this program in place. In fact, the end result was the combined efforts of P.A.L. head Chris Hill, local Howell businessman Bill Stanton, and former Deputy Mayor Pam Richmond. Former high school and college wrestler Pete Riley serves as the head coach of the Reilly Wrestling Club, which seeks to help uninitiated youngsters learn the basics they will need to pursue wrestling at higher levels.

Student-Led Podcast Becomes A Success At Memorial Elementary
By Alyssa Riccardi HOWELL – After launching their very own student-lead podcast, 5th graders had the opportunity to explore a podcasting studio to see professionals live in action. Students from Howell Township’s Memorial Elementary School visited “A Shared Universe” Podcasting studio as part of
the school’s new podcast “A Bulldog’s Passion.” They met with Ming Chen, a professional podcaster and owner of the studio. During the field trip, Chen shared his experiences working as a podcaster and students got to learn different roles and were shown all the equipment it takes to run the show. Additionally, students had the chance
to recorded material for two upcoming podcasts. The initiative is led by educators Erin Cutillo and Jennifer Stenard, who said the goal of the trip was for students to have a hands-on experience and expand their creativity. “Our trip was especially exciting because the students had already published a few episodes
so they were able to get feedback and see all the things they were doing right as podcasters. It was so encouraging and exciting to be able to learn from someone who also started from scratch and found such great success,” Cutillo said. “Visiting the studio was an unforgettable experience that we were so lucky to have been able
to share with the kids in this group!” About 15 students are involved in the “A Bulldog’s Passion” Podcast. They take on roles such as hosts, sound engineers, media directors, and more while also preparing, recording, editing and then publishing the weekly podcast on Spotify. (Podcast - See Page 4)
