9/11:

Continued From Page 1 during the ceremony, Ocean County College was one of the first organizations in the state to receive steel from the World Trade Center and build a memorial, which is now located in the library.

“This piece of steel is not broken, it’s bent. America was bent, misshapen, we were traumatized by that day, but we didn’t break,” said Trimble.

Christopher Bottomley, College Lecturer of Business at OCC, was working across the street at Two World Financial Center for Merrill Lynch on the day the towers fell.

“It’s a day that yes, we’ll never forget, but I specifically will never forget, and quite frankly this is the first time in 16 years that I’m speaking about it,” he said.

Bottomley said he went to work as usual that day, a bright, warm day not unlike the day of the ceremony, and was at his desk on the 27th

floor between 8 and 8:30 a.m. when he and his colleagues heard a large crash and felt a thud beneath their feet.

“So naturally, we were drawn to the windows where I remember ladies gasping, ‘Oh my God, a helicopter hit the North Tower.’ ” He remembers looking at the gaping hole and burning flames and saying to himself, “This is no helicopter, it’s a large jumbo jet.”

Once the second plane hit, Bottomley and his colleagues decided not to wait for instructions

to evacuate and started walking down the 27 flights of stairs.

“It was orderly, it was not chaotic,” he said. That order, however, turned out to be the calm before the storm.

“My biggest memory was while I was in the plaza trying to reach my loved ones and my family at the time, watching the North Tower burning, witnessing people jumping to their death, and I said to myself, what a terrible choice to make, having to either burn to death or jump to one’s death,” said Bottomley.

He said it was difficult to describe the sound that makes, but it is one that will remain with him for the rest of his life. Although 16 years later Bottomley is beginning to recover from that horrific experience, he said it took him six years to get over nightmares, and that he fears crossing bridges and tunnels and being in large crowds.

He said his viewpoints have certainly hardened over the years since 9/11, to where he feels any act of terror is an act of cowardice and that it is not an understatement to be vigilant and aware when it comes to U.S. policy.

“I love my county, I love my state, I love my family here at OCC, I love my family at home, and every day for me is a blessing,” he said.

Featured speaker and New Jersey’s Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno shared her own memory of 9/11 and a decision she faced of whether or not to pick up her then eight-year-old son from school. She decided to keep him in school, as opposed to having him come home and see the towers collapse on TV all day long. When she picked him up at the bus stop at the end of the day, he asked her why she didn’t come and get him, since everybody else had left.

“Sixteen years later, he’s a First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force flying an F16. And what does that tell me? That tells me that our children will always remember where they were that day and how important what happened to them was that day.”

Guadagno urged those at the ceremony to conjure the feeling that they had as a community and as Americans on the day after the attacks, when we shared a common unity and anger over people who would dare to attack us on our own soil.

“It was a unity that belied all gender, all feeling of party, all feeling of race, all feeling of differences and it made us come together in a way that I miss today; a way that I hope that we all gather today and we all feel again.”

Volunteers placed flags in the grass around a wreath in memory of the over two dozen people from Ocean County who lost their lives during 9/11 either in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or the plane crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Jason Ghibesi, College Lecturer of Political Science/History and Lynn Kenneally, Professor of Business and Social Sciences read the names out loud, along with where they lived, who they left behind and where they worked.

A bagpiper from the Ocean County Emerald Society played once all the flags were placed around the wreath.

Acting Associate Vice President of Kean-Ocean Stephen A. Kubow, Ph.D. said he always wanted to visit the Windows on the World restaurant on the top of the North Tower, but figured it would always be there, that he’d get there someday.

“Now that it is years later, we have in many ways moved on and I fear we are beginning to forget.

In a few short years the majority of our students will have been born post-9/11 and will have (9/11 - See Page 5)

School:

Continued From Page 1 expanded programs, according to School Superintendent Dr. Stephen Genco.

Last year, the district saw the creation of the Academy of the Arts, updates to its math and science curriculums, the implementation of Next Generation Science Standards, and the conversion to new middle school grading changes and standards-based report cards for our elementary school.

“We also made significant facilities improvements and identified projects for the future,” Genco said.

This year’s initiatives include launching the Academy of the Arts, updating curriculum in social studies and science from kindergarten to 5th grade and reviewing its math curriculum for grades 6-12.

Genco said that the kindergarten thru 12th grade technology curriculum is set to be updated next year. The district’s Aquaponics program will be expanded during this school year.

Genco explained that aquaponics is the “cultivation of plants and fish in an integrated system. Wastewater from fish tanks provides nutrients for hydroponically grown plants, and then the plants fi lter water to return to the fish. This program offers learning in multiple disciplines including biology, physics, environmental science and math and we are among a small handful of districts that are embarking on this exciting field of learning.”

The district will also increase student awareness of mental health and support social and emotional learning. Teachers will also work to enhance student engagement practices district-wide. “We are working with the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide to enhance our ability to manage a traumatic loss and we look forward to the ways they will help us support our crisis teams and our caring school community,” Genco said.

Genco said he was excited to see the district enhance student engagement practices district-wide. “This fits in perfectly with the theme for this year’s Oct. 9 In-Service of “Student Engagement and Team Building. In my opinion, these two ideas are inextricably linked. We simply cannot do our best to engage students in meaningful, rigorous and relevant instruction if we do not approach our mission as a team.”

The district held its annual new teacher orientation before the fi rst week of school.

“Meeting our newest educators at new teacher orientation was, as always, particularly inspiring,” Genco said.

Nicole Breccia was among around 20 new teachers who took part in the orientation.

Breccia is now teaching math and technology classes at the Christa McAuliffe Middle School. “It was really good as we

The Jackson Times, September 16, 2017, Page 5 ever, for educators to keep teaching their students about what happened that day and to put partisan politics aside.

“Only through the fulfillment of our role producing an educated and historically literate society can we truly say we will never forget,” he said. got to see the many resources available to us and there was a special program concerning student engagement run by two high school teachers.”

This is Breccia’s fi rst year teaching and she said the orientation also familiarized staff with things like payroll and other basics and also involved an exercise that rated things that teachers are most comfortable with within the classroom.

“It involved how we will make things relatable to our students in the classroom,” Breccia said.

Breccia added that she was not daunted by the large size of the school district as she grew up in a community with 17 schools. “I think the school district is the right size for a population like Jackson.”

Regarding school facilities, Genco said that the staff has been spending “time in our buildings over the past few weeks.

The custodial and maintenance staff has once again performed the miracle of fi nishing up dozens of projects (big and small) and have buffed up our buildings and grounds so we can put our best foot forward.”

Genco said the district’s transportation department has “again pieced together the intricate puzzle that results in getting more than 8,500 students back and forth to school safely and our business, payroll and human resources departments haven’t stopped working all summer to ensure everyone is in place with the tools they need to succeed this year.”

Genco added that the district was moving forward on the facilities end prioritizing and planning for several new projects, the most significant of which will be roof replacements and the installation of safety vestibules in schools.

“We will also be decommissioning an old sewer plant and continuing to pursue energy savings throughout the year,” Genco added. “We were just notified that all 10 of our schools have achieved Bronze Level certification under the NJ Sustainable Jersey for Schools Program, which is earned by districts who demonstrate measurable progress and programs to conserve energy. To help put that distinction into perspective, only 14 schools in all of Ocean County received that certification – and 10 of them are right here in Jackson.”

“The district’s administrative team, teachers, guidance counselors and support staff have been re-writing curriculum, developing programs and creating schedules to ensure every student is both challenged and supported,” Genco said. “Knowing the commitment and passion for students that our staff all shares, there is not a doubt in my mind that we will do just that. Much like how we pulled together to get those doors open to students, I look forward to working together during this new school year to support our students and to support each other.”

Nothing Changed In Central Ruling On behalf of the Central Regional School District and at the request of the Board of Education, I am writing to clarify some misunderstandings that have resulted f rom the Asbury Park Press article entitled “Court: Seaside Park kids can keep going to Toms River schools.”

(August 11, 2017).

In short, the court’s ruling clarified the existing practice that Seaside Park students ONLY in grades K-6 students have the option of attending either the Toms River Regional School District or the Lavallette Elementary School District. In addition, those students also have the option of applying as a School Choice student to attend the Hugh J. Boyd Jr. Elementary School in Seaside Heights.

The Central Regional School District, of which Seaside Park has been and remains a par t of, is a limited purpose regional school district for grades 7-12. Accord i ngly, t he Central Regional School District continues to be the assigned public school dist r ict for st udents in grades 7-12 that reside in Seaside Park.

Should parents of those Se a side Pa rk st u de nt s choose to send their children to the Toms River Regional School District or from Lavallette Element a r y School to t he Point Pleasant Beach High School, they will be responsible to pay tuition to attend those school districts.

Accordingly, nothing has changed as a result of the recent ruling.

Letters To but The Editor that the main issues recreation is dangerous. I Let Brick Voices Be Heard

At a recent Council meeting, the issue was brought up that some areas in town do not have a representative on the council. In Brick, the Council is made up of seven members who are elected “at-large” or f rom any geog raphical area in town. There are some tow nsh ips where they are voted “by ward” or voting district. This can be especially challenging when making decisions for the town because each area has different needs.

Maple Leaf has a different set of issues than Princeton Ave. would, and both have different needs than Drum Point would. How can each of these areas be treated fairly in the decision-making process of the Council?

Why don’t we reshape the council to include 4 ‘By-ward’ Council people and 3 ‘at-large’? The idea seems simple enough, but how will it work?

The first step is to divide the town into 4 wards.

Each ward will elect one council person from that ward. The other 3 members of the Council can be from any part of town.

There are many ways this can be done. Frequent the local coffee or pizza shops. Get a volu nteer team together and do a se r v ice proje ct once a quarter. Get the people in the community together for a block party or other event. Make yourself someone that the people can go to, to get things done. If I was not r unning for office, I would probably not know who the members of council were. I would n’t k now them if they walked right past me at a store. The idea here would be that people know you, and know they have an advocate on the Township Council.

T he pu r p o s e b eh i nd this is NOT that each and ever y issue that comes up will be brought up,

of the area are addressed a nd p e ople h ave mor e of a say in the decisions that will affect them. It will also help disseminate i n for mat ion more effectively and be one way that the township can be more transparent with the people of Brick. The four “by-ward” members will have more insight into the needs of their area, and the other three will be able to bring an “overall” view to the Council. These “at-large” will also help to keep a check on the “byward” so a person does not get elected and stay in the position for life.

More det ails w ill be worked out after election and after hearing more feedback from the people of Brick, but before this would be put into place. To implement this, it would take about two years.

Rob Canfield Candidate for Mayor

Abolishing Basketball Hoops Is A Mistake The Jackson Township Council is proposing an ordinance that would prohibit one from having a basketball hoop in front of his house and those in violation would be subject to a fi ne of $2,000 or possible imprisonment.

While there may be a need to update laws to fit with the current form of government, it is a mistake to abolish the ability of having basketball hoops.

T his will hu r t Jackson residents including our children.

As one resident explained by the last Council meeting, “Playing ball and other outdoor activities is a healt hy a nd wonder f ul outlet for our youth.”

In a time where drugs and obesity are so prevalent, this action would be wrong and tragic. Taking away a primary source of

am quite sure no one wants such responsibility.

I urge our Town Council to reconsider this new ordinance that would be so harmful to our community.

Moshe Heiman, Jackson

It’s Time For Some Mutual Understanding W hy do people move and sell their homes? The amount of homes sold in Jackson over the last two years is astonishing and qu it e shock i ng. W h ile many were home to seniors looking to downsize or people who got offered much above market value there is another surprising factor to keep in mind.

People do not like living in a town struck with strife fear and division.

With hundreds of Orthodox families moving in yearly, people do not want to raise their children here any longer, and for many it’s not for what you may believe. It is not because the new neighbors are disrespectful, or rude, rather it is because of the division it has caused.

Many people do not want to raise their children to hear negative things about their new neighbors. To open every Jackson Facebook page and to hear endless stories about ‘’the new neighbors’’ and their religious practices, all painted as if they are terrorists, is depressing and sad.

The latest action by the Mayor to force every resident with a basketball hoop to remove it plays right into that hysteria. Instead of letting ever y Jewish practice to turn into WWIII maybe it is time for some mutual understanding and dialogue, for if it doesn’t happen soon there will be more young people leaving Jackson and the blame will forever be at this administration’s feet.

Undead:

Continued From Page 1 training center. They provided their best scream and creepy walk for the chance to be hired as a zombie.

Entertainment supervisor Alex Volper asked each candidate to step up and give their best scream, a demonstration of how they might fall down and die, how they would walk around patrons of the park and to showcase a unique skill they had.

“No one under 16 can audition for this though we do hire people younger for other park positions,” Volper said.

Robbie Zumsteg, entertainment manager at the park, said about 250 performers would be needed to fill various slots for this year’s Fright Fest program.

“We have 50 from last year. The usual day for a zombie performer is 3 p.m. to midnight after they are made up which takes about a half hour depending on their character. We have 11 make-up artists on hand to do that. It can be a pretty long day for our performers.”

Zumsteg headed a panel of staff who interviewed the candidates of the undead during the process. While staff members were reluct ant to provide specifics on the pay range for zombies, they did say that it starts at minimum wage and is based on experience. Separate from those auditioned as zombies, Zumsteg said a dozen dancers were being hired for the Deadman’s Dance Show this year.

Emily Ingenito, 18, of Staten Island, New York, literally bent over backwards to get the job during her audition. She and her fellow candidates were asked to demonstrate her special ability as a Fright Fest performer. She showed she could bend her back nearly to the f loor, a skill that could prove

handy as a zombie.

The distance factor didn’t bother her, either.

“It only took me about an hour to get here from where I live, given traffic.

I think this will be fun. I’ve always wanted to do this,” Ingenito said.

Angela Daurie, 29, of Kenilworth, works as an administrative assistant at a school but said, “A part time job for the season would be a lot of fun.

I love to do costuming and play with makeup and special effects so I thought this would be a great way to meld those hobbies.”

“I’m actually more of a Star Trek, Star Wars kind of gal so branching out into horror should be a fun opportunity,” Daurie added.

John Cooper, 38, of Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania came out to the park with his wife Christine who had suggested they both audition.

“I love horror. I love it to death. I’ve always wanted to do Fright Fest. My wife wanted to do this. My favorite movie of all time is Stephen King’s “It” featuring a killer clown and I can’t wait to go see the new version of it...I may have to watch it with eyes closed,” Cooper said.

Six Flags Great Advent ure Public Relations Supervisor Kaitlyn Pitts said Fright Fest star ted in 1992 and has been very popular over the years with different themes and new programs offered each autumn. Pitts said all five applicants who auditioned that night were hired.

“We have clowns, we have zombies, we have some new secrets coming up for 2017,” Pitts said. The park’s new website sixf lags.com/greatadventure/ special-events/fright-fest-night went live on August 21 and features details of this season’s new attractions.

Anglers:

Continued From Page 1 Marine Fisheries Council held its regular Sept. 7 meeting. Although the first hour was filled with its usual reports and comments, the Council’s second hour saw passionate arguments and discussion from Council and audience members about what to do with the ever-shortening fishing season and its negative impact on commercial fishermen throughout

the state and beyond.

Jim Hutchinson Jr.’s Sept. 8 article at TheFisherman.com quoted boat captain Adam Nowalsky that cuts felt in fish seasons and quotas for 2017 will be mild compared to what’s expected for 2018, based on the early returns from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries surveys. Those quotas and seasons are set annually.

Captain Victor Hartley III of Miss Ocean City explained to Jersey Shore Online that although

Winter Completion

FALL SAVINGS

Fall Delivery

regulations dictate what size fish may be kept, anglers must count all fish caught toward quotas.

“We don’t have enough quotas is one issue, and the other issue is we don’t have enough days,” Hartley explained. “We don’t have the time to catch anything.”

The quotas and seasons were cut because the powers-that-be determined that New Jersey overfished in previous years. Three fish are most caught in the state: flounder, sea bass

and scup.

The cuts are hurting charter boats’ and saltwater anglers’ bottom lines, the anglers said.

Ed Yates, president of United Boatman of NJ, told Council he and his members need black sea bass season opened on an emergency basis, as this year’s season was cut short. Although some fisherman have permits to fish in federal waters, those fish cannot be landed in New Jersey.

“This has led to two things: unemployment for not only my crew, people at our dock, and now I’m getting people telling me that they’re going to lose their help,” Yates said. “So now we’re really in a dilemma. We’re sending people to the unemployment office early because of this.”

He added that the fishermen of New Jersey are “fed up” with the “nonsense” of the Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Council and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the bodies that determine recreational harvest limits.

The MAFMC was created as one of eight regional fishery management councils under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. That is the primary federal law regulating marine fishing in federal waters. The law was overhauled in 1996 and again in 2007, and is up for reauthorization.

Some saltwater anglers support the Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act of 2017, introduced back in April. The sponsors say Magnuson has created unnecessary restrictions and seeks to have the fisheries management overhauled and modernized.

The ASMFC dates back to the 1940s and comprises three commissioners from each state: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. This commission also deals in fishery management.

NOAA Fisheries, part of the Federal Commerce Department, monitors the fishing of waters, and according to its mission statement, under the authority of Magnuson, works with the regional fishery councils “to assess and predict the status of fish stocks, set catch limits, ensure compliance with fisheries regulations, and reduce bycatch.”

Locally, the NJDEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife holds to ASMFC seasons and limits, which are approved by the Marine Fisheries Council each March.

Council chairman Dick Herb said New Jersey was the first state ever to challenge the ASMFC and win a reversal, specifically about fluke. A coordinated effort by all fishermen—commercial, recreational, private—can pressure those decision-making bodies to adopt more favorable regulations for New Jersey.

“At least we broke that mold,” Herb said about the decision reversal. “We’ve got to build on it.

We can’t just say, ‘Hey, we won. Now we’re going home.’”

In the meantime, audience members called for an organized, formal protest of the Dec. 11-14 joint meeting of the MAFMC and ASMFC in Annapolis. It’s at that meeting when recreational harvest limits for 2018 will be proposed and adopted.

Hartley has offered to arrange a charter bus so fishermen will make the trip to Maryland.

A show in numbers may help sway things in New Jersey’s favor.

A Facebook group, NJFFFR New Jersey Fishermen Fight For Fishermen’s Rights, has more information about the planned trip.

How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid

NOTICING CHANGES IN MOM OR DAD? UNCERTAIN OF WHAT TO DO NEXT? Bartley Healthcare’s Cedar Spring Program offers a full continuum of Alzheimer’s and Dementia-related care set in two residences on the beautiful Bartley campus.

The activity-based program, which is individualized for each resident, includes a consistent daily routine managed by Dementia C.A.R.E.S. Certified Staff, creating a trusting relationship and enhancing the sense of well-being of those needing memory support.

Statistically, hearing-impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four-year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times … Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purposes) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid).

The second most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months).

A third reason for hearing aid malfunction

is that most patients do not receive routine follow-up services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either threemonth or six-month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health care professional.

In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush.

2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery.

3. Ask your hearing health care professional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid.

4. Schedule routine follow-up visits with your hearing health care professional at least two or three times per year.

5. Routinely have your ears cleaned or checked by either your family physician or ear, nose and throat doctor.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

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

How To Prepare A First Aid Kit During Severe Weather

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We just saw the devastation by Hurricane Harvey and then Monster Irma! It’s not just rain, wind and flooding that leads to a disaster, it’s also earthquakes, landslides and fires.

You just never know when severe weather will strike, you never know when you’ll have to jump in your car and evacuate… or rush down into the basement for a tornado!

It’s important to have a plan but I can’t say everything here in 500 words, so read the complete version which is 3 times longer (it’s posted on my website live right now): suzycohen.com In the meantime, this will get you started: 1. Medications - Keep a handwritten list in your wallet. Even better (if you have the time) is to stick the prescription label onto a piece of paper so all your dosing information is shown. I’d also keep the list on your smart phone. When the power goes out, pharmacies can’t access your medication profile on the computer anymore. Your list allows paramedics to give you the correct pills or shots.

2. Ziploc with Water - Fill a Ziploc bag about 75 percent full with some fresh water, then freeze it. Keep several frozen at all times. If you need to leave in a hurry grab them. While frozen, it can protect insulin, food or liquid antibiotics. As it melts, you’ll have pure water which you can drink in an emergency.

3. Portable Charger - Buy a portable cell phone charger (aka power bank) and a transistor radio, it can be hand-crank, battery operated, or even solar-powered.

4. Dishwasher Storage - Your dishwasher

is waterproof so if floods are anticipated, store photo albums and documents inside the dishwasher. When the water recedes, they should be perfect.

5. Loved One List - If a rescuer wants to call your loved one or spouse to assure them of your safety and rescue, having a handwritten “Loved One List” is invaluable. Let’s face it, nobody knows phone numbers by heart anymore.

6. Children - I lived in Florida for 35 years, and when the hurricanes barreled through, I always made sure that my kids were pleasantly distracted with puzzles, painting, beading or “camping” in the (safer) hallway.

7. Emergency kit - You can buy some very nice ones on Amazon or Costco, or you can create your own like this: DIY First Aid Kit • Analgesics like ibuprofen or acetaminophen • Hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointment • A little blanket and a pair of socks • Toothpaste/brushes and deodorant • Small salt shaker to replenish electrolytes • Spare undies if you’re evacuating to a shelter • Eyeglasses or contacts • A whistle to call for help • Spare keys to your house/car • A multi-purpose knife • Flashlights/batteries • N95 or N100 mask • Ziplock bags and toilet paper 8. Map - If you have to drive because of an immediate evacuation, and you can’t use GPS in your car, or your smart phone, then an actual map is a blessing. Just get in the car and drive to safety!

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage.

In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims.

An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits.

Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment.

Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment, even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.

Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit was upheld by the

New Jersey Appellate Christopher R. Shea Esq. Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Indecisive Wife

Dear Joel, My wife Susan can’t ever make up her mind. If I ask, “Would you like to go out for dinner?” she says, “If you want to.” If I ask “Chinese or Italian?” she says “Oh, it doesn’t matter” Hot coffee or iced?

Chocolate or vanilla? Paper or plastic? I think you get the picture. It’s maddening.

Why does she do this and how can I get her to make a decision… any decision?

Bob, Toms River Dear Bob, It’s been my experience that people who have a hard time with decisions do it for two main reasons. Either they are afraid to face the consequences of their choice (everyone hated the movie you picked) or they are real pleasers. They would rather forfeit their preferences to keep you or the group happy. Which is she? If she lacks confidence then make if fun. Say, “Tuesday is Susan day. Whatever Su-

san picks will b e t he r ig ht choice,” a nd make her stick to it. The pleaser type may require a little acting, because they REALLY want you to be happy. Show them that even if their selection was a dud, you enjoyed trying something new, and that you’re looking forward to doing it again. And end the day with a sweet word. There is a third group that truly doesn’t care about anything, but I’m sure that’s not Susan. Remind Susan we all make hundreds of choices a week, and no one ever gets them all right. You picked Susan and her picks will be fine with you.

Be Healthy For Good With Healthy Snacking NEW JERSEY – A healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons in the fight against heart disease, the No. 1 killer of Americans. Healthy For Good is the American Heart Association’s new movement to inspire all Americans to live healthier lives and create lasting change. It focuses on the simple idea that making small, incremental changes today can create a difference for generations to come.

Healthy For Good is built on four pillars: Eat smar t. Add color. Move more. Be well. When it comes to eating, making smart choices will benefit heart health and overall health. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat a wide variety of nutritious foods daily. Incorporating even simple, small changes can make a big difference in living a healthier life and can help prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

When hunger strikes, it’s a good idea to have healthy snacks nearby to avoid unhealthy temptations. Plan ahead for healthy snacking and include foods rich in fiber (whole grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits), potassium (oranges, potatoes, cantaloupe) and omega-3 fatty acids (make mix with walnuts, pumpkin seeds and ground f laxseeds to sprinkle

CHIMNEYS • GUTTERS • ROOFING • MASONRY

on meals or eat as a snack). Try colorful foods to get antioxidant-rich f lavonoids in your diet.

“Keeping healthy snacks available at home for your family will help avoid unhealthy and empty-calorie-filled snacking,” said Mandy Unanski Enright, MS, RDN, RYT, volunteer for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association and Media Representative for the New Jersey Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Snacking isn’t ‘bad’ if you do it in moderation. The trick is to plan snacks into your day, watch calories and make healthy choices.”

To snack the sensible way, choose nutrient-rich snacks like those listed below.

W hen craving something cr unchy try apples, carrot and celery sticks, or radishes.

When looking to quench thirst, try water, unsweetened juices or fat-free milk.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Preferred Home Healthcare & Nursing Services

By Robert D. Verderese The first thing you will notice upon meeting Joel Markel, President and owner of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services, a home health care agency, is his friendly and soothing demeanor. The cadence of his voice reveals a compassion that is as genuine as it is heart-felt.

In a business which concerns itself with traumatic family situations, Joel’s caring bedside manner seems all-the-more important. Indeed, the company motto, “Home Health Care with Feeling,” is not just a catchy sales pitch but rather the core of the business ethos—born out of a series of family tragedies which ultimately manifested in Joel a profound and compelling empathy.

Joel’s misfortunes commenced when he was about 35 years old with the news that his widowed sister Helen had been diagnosed with terminal skin cancer. Consequently, Markel and his wife Stephanie took Helen and her two young sons into their home. “We could not find a home health care agency that provided the full-time care my sister required’’, Markel recollected. “On top of that, my sister lamented over never seeing the same person twice. This did not comfort her.”

A short time after this cancer reared its ugly head again when their son Ryan was born with pediatric cancer. “Nurses who were pediatric specialists and willing to care for Ryan at home were extremely hard to come by,” Markel recalls. “And all of the nurses were reluctant to treat Ryan by virtue of how sick he was.”

During this trying time, Markel learned a lot about home health care agencies. He learned that most were very limited in terms of the care that was provided. Most only provided services for geriatric care; with very few providing care for children and fewer still for both the old and the young. He also discovered that there were almost no nurses who were qualified to care for patients who were severely sick. “The care that was available at this time was not adequate for us,” Markel recounts.

“My wife and I realized that virtually all health care agencies were deficient both from a professional and emotional standpoint.”

Tragically, Joel Markel’s sister Helen died shortly after his son Ryan was born and Ryan—who had acute complications from birth—passed at 11 months of age. As a result of these tribulations, Markel’s heart—although filled with grief— began to orient itself in a more empathetic sphere. “I longed to talk with parents who lost

children. I wanted to help them with their pain and in turn for them to help me. I wanted to comfort them and for them to comfort me—I needed some kind of support!” Markel reminisced with unbridled passion.

Teeming with empathy, Markel resolved to start a support group for fathers who lost children. This undertaking, however, quickly revealed

at Preferred, caregivers provide an important social connection for their patients as well as an outlet to social activities—with transportation to adult day care or simply having company or professional assistance for a walk in the neighborhood.

Preferred Home Health Care’s success Markel attributes almost exclusively to its tenet: “Home Health Care with Feeling.”

He believes it’s that emphasis on compassion for others which has sustained the agency for more than 25 years. “We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” says Markel. Preferred services include care for infants, babies, adults and seniors, tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs.

The agency provides around-theclock or hourly service, with either medical or non-medical assistance available. Whether it is 24 hour service from a registered nurse or 3 hour a day care from a home health aide, the company’s underlying mission remains singular—to treat each patient like family in the comfort of their home, (rather than living in a hospital) promoting independence and dignity for an optimal quality of life.

“Every caregiver at Preferred must have a bona fide passion for the work they do,” Markel expresses. “It’s not just a preference, it’s a prerequisite,” he continues. Although

“We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” – Joel Markel itself to be one of futility insofar as fathers had no desire communicating their losses to one another.

This harrowing time in Markel’s life he aptly described as his ‘Book of Job’ time. Nevertheless, it was this dark period which shed light on the significance of quality home health care in people’s lives. “I started really contemplating the possibility of running a home health care agency,” Markel reflected. This contemplation became a reality when—after reading in The New York Times that a home health care agency in central New Jersey was for sale—Markel shortly after bought the company with the intent of dedicating all his efforts to providing comprehensive home health care ‘with feeling’ to people in the greatest need.

Servicing New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Markel’s vision of providing superior home health care with an emotional touch has been fully actualized

by Preferred: “We foster a culture of emotional connectivity here. It is essential for our caregivers to assume a familial role for the people they take care of,” Markel explains. To be sure,

hiring caregivers who are passionate is paramount at Preferred, other more tangible qualifications are important as well. For instance, all of the caregivers that work for the agency are fully licensed, bonded and insured, and are subject to a thorough screening and vetting process. Indeed, it is this fusion of ‘passion’ and ‘quality’ which really distinguishes Preferred from its competitors and serves as the principal impetus for the company’s long-standing success.

Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses also figure prominently within Preferred Home Health Care’s family of professionals. For more than 20 years, these highly skilled caregivers provide state-ofthe-art services and technology to their patients. In addition, the clinical professionals at Preferred teach patients and their families how to manage their illnesses or injuries and explain post-treatment home care needs, such as: diet, nutrition, exercise programs and self-administration of medication. The RNs and LPNs at Preferred are also instrumental in

establishing a care plan or contribute to an existing plan developed by the patient’s doctor.

When Joel Markel bought Preferred, over 20 years ago, he could never have envisioned the company’s current status as a multi-faceted, premiere health care agency. By surrounding himself with good, smart, highly qualified people who shared his ‘philosophy of care,’ Markel set out to create a health care agency that went far beyond its traditional confines. For instance, more than half of the agency’s patients are children who have serious medical conditions. These children are cared for by RNs with specialized pediatric expertise which is second-to-none, who provide the most advanced, integrated and extensive services available. Preferred also provides individual care for children while at school, assisting with bus transportation, fieldtrips and providing a clinical eye that is as vigilant as it is consequential.

To say that Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services was born out of tragedy is as true as the changing seasons. The idea to start the business began with Markel’s difficulty of not being able to find quality home health care for both his terminally sick sister and seriously ill son, and tragically culminating with their respective deaths. But it was this dark experience which made Markel aware of the importance of comprehensive home health care and which ultimately motivated him to create Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services—home health care ‘with feeling.’ You can reach Preferred anytime via preferredcares.com or by calling 800-603-CARE (2273).

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of september 16 - september 22

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your energy levels will improve faster than you can say zip-adee-do-dah. You have an imaginative viewpoint that helps you perform creative projects, as well as your job, with enthusiasm in the week ahead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Swear on it. Ambition may be your life, your whole life and nothing but your life, at least during the first half of the week. Your logical approach to financial matters can be helpful to your handling of joint asserts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your words may be more impactful on others than you realize. Just be sure that you tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as this week unfolds. Someone may be somewhat suspicious of your motives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mark your place. Final decisions should be put on hold until the end of the week. You will be better off if you suspend a crucial decision until the timing is better.

If you decide that it is best to wait others will agree.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You prefer to be seen as a paragon of political correctness. Because you are too busy examining other people’s faults, however, you may overlook your own. Honor your obligations and act responsibly this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Start the week off by getting your closets organized or the receipts filed away. You could be more concerned with thrift and economy than sharing off your assets. Treat family members with respect in the week to come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pay attention to what other people do, but do your own thing. In the week ahead you could have better things to do to fill up your time than to tag along. Be sure to answer emails and phone calls in a timely manner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your inspiring ideas could bring people together and break a stalemate. Someone close may be riveted on financial security and material success in the week ahead. Look the other way if people seem quarrelsome.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Plan your work and work your plan. Take responsibility for your own actions, since a busy schedule leaves little time to oversee others. Don’t begin any major new undertaking until the end of the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You could be challenged to discuss something that you prefer to keep under your hat. You must share information to preserve someone’s trust in the week ahead, but may find that this creates a serious conflict.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Control yourself and avoid controversies. In the week to come someone might offer to take some responsibilities off your hands. Don’t consider this to be an affront to your abilities or doubts about your competence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel the boss is looking over your shoulder or that the rules are difficult to comply with in the coming week. If you exert some effort your work will be seen in the best light and things will turn out favorably.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen BackToTheTable: A Sweet,Tangy Stir-Fry Is Easy OnThe Budget And Brings EveryoneTogether

By Wolfgang Puck SWEET-AND-TANGY PORK-AND-VEGETABLE STIR-FRY Serves 4 to 6 12 ounces (375 g) well-trimmed center-cut boneless pork chops, about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, and seeded 1 medium-sized yellow onion, peeled 1 medium carrot, trimmed and peeled 3 tablespoons soy sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 1/2 tablespoons Asian-style toasted sesame oil 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Steamed white rice, for serving 2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish With a sharp knife, cut the pork chops into

1/2-inch (12-mm) dice. Set the meat aside in a medium mixing bowl. Cut the bell pepper, onion and carrot into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice, combining them in a separate bowl.

Pour the soy sauce into a small mixing bowl.

Add the cornstarch and stir with a fork until the cornstarch has dissolved completely. Stir in the garlic, sesame oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes and brown sugar. Add the seasonings mixture to the bowl of diced pork and toss well. Set aside at room temperature to marinate for about 15 minutes. Wash your hands thoroughly.

Heat the peanut oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the pork mixture and stir-fry with a long-handled spoon or spatula, keeping the pork cubes moving continuously around the pan, until they have turned lightly golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add all the diced vegetables and season with salt and pepper.

Continue stir-frying over high heat until the pork is cooked through and nicely browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes longer.

Spoon the steamed rice into individual serving bowls or onto serving plates. Spoon the stirfried pork and vegetables on top of the rice.

Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
