Innovation Is Blooming At Memorial Elementary

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Imagine sitting behind a desk all day while staring at notes written on a whiteboard.

Now, imagine walking through a garden, touching plants, creating music, and engaging in team building activities.

Which one seems more interesting?

For Howell’s Memorial Elementary School, the choice was easy. Memorial Elementary is

combining education with nature to create a more innovative and fun classroom space for students.

The school used a $10,000 grant from OceanFirst Bank to create their first outdoor model classroom, coined The Bulldog Retreat. The new space was officially opened on April 18 with a ribbon cutting.

“The outdoor classroom…is a vision come to life,” stated officials (Innovation - See Page 12 )

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Further testimony on the asphalt manufacturing facility proposed for Yellowbrook Road won’t be heard until the end of May after the Zoning Board of Adjustment saw a toofull house at the April 29 meeting.

The meeting room at town hall was packed to the brim, exceeding occupancy dictated by the fire marshal.

Police were even turning people away at the door.

“The residents of Howell showed up in force to voice their opinion. The room was filled to capacity.

The police would not let any more people into the room. The crowd spilled out into the hallway, waiting to be heard,” stated one resident.

It was zoning board attorney Ronald Troppoli who broke the news, stating, “It’s my decision in consultation with the chair to adjourn this meeting…we need to get into a bigger venue so whoever wishes to speak can be heard.”

The meeting will be carried to May 13, for scheduling purposes only, where the

board plans announce a new, larger venue for a hearing of the application.

T hese resident s showed up in force to oppose L&L Paving Co. Inc.’s plan to build an asphalt manufacturing facility at Block 177, Lot 62.01, 8 9 Ye l l o w b r o o k Road, where a concrete manufacturing facility currently sits.

L&L Paving is applying for Use Variance and Preliminary and Final Major Site Plan approval to remove a portion of the concrete manufacturing facility and replace it with their asphalt facility. The proposal also intends to make various changes to the area including improvements to a storage facility, the implementation of a control building, weigh station, and office, the removal and replacement of 13 acres of impervious coverage with landscaping and a total of 250 trees, among other improvements.

The property was pu rch a se d by t he c omp a ny ba ck i n 2016, according to Lance Redaelli, owner of L&L Paving.

Continued From Page 1 Previous testimony by Redaelli stated that, on the 35-acre property, they would be installing grass on 11 acres of the property that is currently pavement, and installing a two-way driveway on Yellowbrook Road, near Cranberry Road, that truck drivers will use to both enter and exit the facility.

The facility would operate from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

One resident sent a list of concerns to The Howell Times, identifying some of the main reasons why so many residents are opposed to the application. The list cites additional heavy traffic during daytime hours, high

noise levels, toxins produced by the asphalt, contamination of Yellow Brook and its wildlife, potential for fires, unsightliness, and safety concerns, among others.

A post to the Howell Township Facebook page on April 30 stated: “in light of the need for additional space, the Township Council is working with both the Zoning Board and the Howell Township School Administration to secure a larger venue. The Council and Zoning Board want to ensure that all members of the public who wish to be heard have an opportunity to do so.”

The township has set a tentative hearing date for L&L Paving’s application as May 20 at 7 p.m. at Middle School South. Official announcement will be made at the May 13 meeting.

Shoulder Pain in the Overhead Athlete

By: Joel Maietta, DPT, Facility Manager

houlder pain in the overhead athlete is a very common complaint. Considering the fact that separation forces in the shoulder during throwing can equal someone’s own body weight, it is no surprise that pain can occur. This activity requires a combination of strength, coordination, synchronicity, and body control. Because of these factors, shoulder pain is often seen in athletes of all ages as well as any adult who may decide to throw a ball just one time. During a physical therapy evaluation for shoulder pain from throwing, there are multiple parts of the body that need to be assessed. These include shoulder motion, shoulder strength, shoulder blade strength, core strength, as well as lower body strength and flexibility.

“We just figured we’d celebrate it,” Kiracofe said.

The chickens were judged in four categories: Trick/Talent, Best Feathered, Best Dressed and Miss Congeniality.

The three judges – Diane Goossen of Goossen Farm, Shelby Johnson of Harleys and Horses Farm, and Rob Schuster of Schuster’s Poultry Farm – made the rounds to interact with the birds to see which ones had the softest and most aesthetically pleasing plumage and who had the warmest personality.

The “Best Dressed” competition had chickens in children’s carts or in a cute outfit. The win ner had Jacob W ladich dressed as Colonel Sanders carrying around his chicken, Matilda, in a bucket. The KFC in this case stood for “Kindness For Chickens.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

E ditorial What Do Our Towns Need?

Toms River township h istor ia n a nd ret i red Township Clerk J. Mark Mutter researched some old newspapers for this week’s edition of The Toms River Times. He found that the local paper, the New Jersey Courier, made a list of what the town needed in 1869. It stated: “We want a town clock.

We want a steamboat to New York.

We want a larger school house.

We want a public library.

We want free public schools.

We want the village of Toms River to be incorporated.

We want a rail road along the shore.”

In 1890, they still had a list of demands that included large hotels, a fire department, and “Capitalists to put up houses and boom the town for all its worth.”

A year later, they were asking for a better water supply, better roads, a public wharf, clean streets and better schools.

It made me wonder: what would that list look like today?

A lot of items on the wish list were physical – a library, a rail road.

We have certainly built up a lot more since then and there aren’t too many physical things we need.

Several of those things are perennial. We all want better roads, and a better water supply. Most of the necessities we already have (schools, etc.) it’s just a matter of how to

maintain them. We have volunteer fire and first aid squads, but there’s little in the way of new blood volunteering and many are going to paid services.

Some towns have a clock.

I don’t want to speak on behalf of the entire region, but I think it safe to say we need: • A homeless shelter.

Doesn’t have to be huge.

But it should be near services and jobs.

More jobs. It’s not enough to create com mercial zones and hope for the best. We need to entice employers to the area so that people aren’t commuting to work 30 or more minutes a day. And these jobs need to be able to pay a livable wage for the area.

• An office park. See above.

• A tech center. There’s a brain drain going on where anyone who graduates with an advanced degree move elsewhere.

• More open space. The county has reported that about half of the county is open space. That said, more open space.

• Lower taxes. I think this goes without saying, but there are a lot of padded positions in municipal and county government that get paid a lot more than their work entails. Every supervisor could take a 10 percent pay cut and still be rich, while saving residents a lot of money.

That’s my list off the top of my head. What do you think your town needs?

CORRECTION

HOWELL – In the April 20 article “FRHSD Tries Different Approach for Referendum” it states, “On Election Day, November 5, 2019, voters will see three referendum questions proposing: Improvements to Freehold High School including improvements to security, roofing, paving, and the auditorium.” The first question is actually security, roofing and paving improvements to all six of the high school, and additionally, required repairs to Freehold High Schools auditorium. We regret the error.

Speeding Is Unacceptable In Howell We have a dangerous speeding problem on our residential Addison Road in Howell and, for years, have addressed letters to past mayors, the traffic unit sergeant, council members, and the present mayor, Theresa Berger. Enclosed is a letter recently sent to the President of the Monmouth County Chiefs of Police [Scott Patterson]: “As residents of Addison Road in Howell, we are

appealing to you for help.

There has been absolutely no change in the excessive speed of cars on our street.

In fact, the blatant disregard for the posted speed limit has worsened. Is this acceptable?

to those driving the speed limit. Road rage is both a dangerous and frightening concern. It would be horrible if a tragedy occurred as a result of this problem.

But again, is this acceptable?

There is no indication that the police chief has set up inconspicuous radar to address the problem.

Why is Addison Road a residential street where excessive speed has been continuously ignored for a very long time? Does the police chief call this protecting the community?

Or perhaps because this is simply acceptable. We have no answers.

Chief Patterson, as President of the Monmouth County Chiefs of Police Association, we are asking that you use your influence to help us. Perhaps there is an underlying reason why our concerns for the safety of our children have not been addressed. We, as residents, know it is not possible to catch every speeding car, truck, or even school bus that blatantly ignores the speed limit. But there must be something that can be done.

If the chief can allow three and four officers to eat lunch at Aldrich Pizza and Chick-fil-A together, then there is obviously not a shortage of officers available to radar. The most serious times are between 7-9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to approximately 8 p.m.

Monday-Friday, as well as miscellaneous times over the weekend.

It is obvious our road is used as a fast shortcut for many drivers. The excessive speeding on Addison Road will never be acceptable to its residents. Past letters have been addressed to the chief and mayor; however, they have yielded no results. We appreciate any help you could give and than k you for this consideration.”

Smith: Bill Would Provide Veterans More Recreational Opportunities On Federal Lands

WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) reintroduced bipartisan legislation, HR 2435, to help military veterans heal and seek treatment through outdoor recreation, by providing them better access to federal lands.

“Veterans hospitals are renowned for intricate and comprehensive specialty surgeries and treatments, but we can and should do more,” said Smith, former Veterans Committee Chairman and author of the Veterans Health Programs Improvement Act (P.L. 108-422), which authorized new research and education centers for treating veterans with complex multi-trauma combat injuries; today there are five major polytrauma rehabilitation centers.

“Studies have shown - and veterans organ izations strongly concur - that outdoor recreational activities can provide powerful therapeutic and healing benefits as well as camaraderie for veterans struggling with combat-related injuries or post-traumatic stress,” said Smith.

“We should be thinking outside-the-box to discover as many ways as possible to help veterans, and opening up federal lands and removing barriers to access for remedial outdoor recreation is a no-brainer. My legislation would help increase access to this treatment option.”

The Outdoor Recreation Therapy for Veterans Act would direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish, within 180 days of the bill’s enactment into law, an inter-agency task force to increase the availability of federal lands for use for medical therapy for veterans.

Among other actions, the task force would: Be co-chaired by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of the Interior and include the Secretaries of HHS, Agriculture, Defense, and Homeland Security, and the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers; Discover opportunities for collaboration between the VA and public land agencies to increase the opportunities for veterans to enjoy outdoor recreation; Identify obstacles that exist to veteran outdoor recreation.

Smith’s legislation also would: Require a preliminary report within 180 days on the findings of the Task Force; Require a report no later than one year after enactment of the legislation on the Task Force’s proposals to better facilitate the use of public lands for the treatment of veterans.

Smith’s legislation is supported by various veteran advocacy and outdoor recreation groups, including Paralyzed Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Minority Veterans of America, Blue Star Families, Vet Voice Foundation, Sierra Club, Adventure Not War, REI Co-op, PeopleForBikes, Outdoor Alliance, Outdoor Industry Association, Outdoor Research, and the National Parks Conservation Association.

“DAV has supported numerous programs over the years to provide recreational therapies for injured and ill veterans, most notably the DAV and VA co-sponsored National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament. We know the therapeutic benefit these experiences have, and are pleased to support The Outdoor Recreation Therapy for Veterans Act as it could create even more opportunities for veterans to experience the life-changing power of alternative therapies,” said DAV National Commander Dennis R. Nixon.

“For 100 years The American Legion has been concerned with making veterans heal not just from the wounds of war, but any disabilities or

conditions incurred as a result of their military service,” National Commander Brett P. Reistad said. “We also support the use of a wide variety of therapies. Due to the physical requirements to serve in the military, many veterans enjoy outdoor activities. The American Legion welcomes any legislation that combines recreational therapy for veterans with the use of public resources.”

“Outdoor recreation therapies such as hunting and fishing provide camaraderie and healing for veterans who struggle with the wounds of war. The VFW supports expanding such opportunities for veterans and thanks Congressman Chris Smith for introducing the Outdoor Recreation Therapy for Veterans Act,” said VFW Executive Director Bob Wallace. “This bill would rightfully evaluate and remove barriers to access for veterans who would like to use outdoor activities to cope with their service-related illnesses and injuries.”

“The outdoors provide military families a much-needed place of recreation, rejuvenation, and healing. At Blue Star Families, programs such as Blue Star Parks connect the military community to nature, because the parks make a difference. An overwhelming majority of military families report that visiting parks provides a much-needed outlet from the stress of their daily lives,” said Kathy Roth-Douquet, Founder and CEO of Blue Star Families. “We commend this bi-partisan bill from Congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines, because it will make our nation’s backyard more accessible for our veteran community and their families. Protecting and preserving these beautiful lands is one of the reasons we serve and sacrifice, so it means so much to us to enjoy them with our families.”

“Veterans have demanded for years outdoor recreation programs be a part of our health treatment. It is long overdue for the VA to recognize this basic, yet vital need...they now have the opportunity to begin providing Veterans with this service!” said Robert White, VP of Internal Relations for Minority Veterans of America.

“At REI Co-op, we believe a life outdoors is a life welllived. It can even be healing, especially for our veterans who have sacrificed much of their lives to protect our nation,” said Eric Artz, REI’s President and CEO. “We owe them our gratitude not just today, but every day. So, we applaud congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines for taking this basic step - instructing the VA and the nation’s land managers to determine how our lands can be used to help our veterans heal. We know the outdoors is good for you. It’s only right that we make it as easy as possible for our veterans to rejuvenate among the country’s natural wonders.”

“As a combat veteran working at the intersection of public lands and outdoor recreation for veterans and military families, I have experienced the healing power of nature firsthand,” stated Rob Vessels, Director of Sierra Club’s Military Outdoors Campaign and Army veteran. “The Sierra Club believes that every veteran should have the opportunity to get outdoors when they return home from service.

We applaud and support this bi-partisan bill and thank Congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, as well as all sponsors for their efforts to improve the lives of our veterans. When our veterans thrive, so too does our society.”

“Time outdoors was the place that put me not just on my healing journey, but my journey fully home when I

got home from war. After casting about for two years trying to find a place to call home and a new mission and team, it was rock climbing, and later white water rafting and skiing that truly brought me back home,” said Stacy Bare, OIF Veteran 06-07, 2014 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and Founder of Adventure Not War. “I commend any effort of Congress that helps veterans, service members, and their families, people just like me in making it easier to get outdoors. There are real, scientifically verified health benefits to time outdoors. Perhaps more importantly, time outdoors, structured the right way, helps encourage people to seek and complete traditional treatments. I couldn’t be prouder of this bi-partisan effort in Congress!”

“Outdoor recreation is an important part of caring for America’s veterans. The legislation being introduced

by Rep. Chris Smith and Rep. Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines, will help to develop needed coordination among our federal agencies to better understand how the outdoors can help and treat those who have served in uniform,” Jenn Dice, Vice Business for the Business Network of PeopleForBikes. “Our veterans deserve the best care available and looking into innovative solutions for leveraging our public lands is something we should all welcome.”

“Our public lands help define us - so much of who we are as a people, and what we have accomplished as a nation arise out of these cherished places,” observed Adam Cramer, Executive Director of Outdoor Alliance. “The power of our public lands to restore is self-evident, so we are delighted with the compassion of congressmen Chris Smith and Adam Smith, and Senators Cortez Masto and Daines, to better connect our veterans with the healing aspects of our

public lands.”

“Veterans are integral to the outdoor industry — they rely on our outdoor products when they serve our country and many become key members of the outdoor industry workforce and leadership when they complete their service,” said Amy Roberts, executive director of Outdoor Industry Association. “We are also learning more and more about the unique and powerful connection between mental and physical health and being outdoors — we need to continue to do all we can to ensure that our veterans have access to the outdoors to heal, reconnect and enjoy the special places their service helps keep open and free.”

“Preliminary evidence suggests that outdoor hiking— combining the benefits of nature contact, group bonding, and physical activity— may be effective in treating veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We also know that nature contact has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, and is associated with decreased likelihood of depression,” said Gregory Bratman, Doug Walker Endowed Professor of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. “This bill would provide an opportunity to maximize use of federal lands to gain more understanding about the ways in which nature experience benefits the people who have served our country, informing the design of future interventions aimed at addressing their pressing mental and physical health needs.”

“This study is needed to recognize the healing power of the outdoors for all users, especially our military veterans. The benefits are real to anyone who has enjoyed our parks and public lands,” said Ani Kame’enui, Legislative Director of the National Parks Conservation Association.

Innovation:

Continued From Page 1 from Memorial Elementary.

The Bulldog Retreat offers various classroom-type spaces where students can engage with their surroundings by using outdoor whiteboards, performing STEAM building challenges, or walking through a sensory garden filled with calming plants. Kids can even step on stage to conduct reader’s theatre on a musical station equipped with functional instruments.

The space was designed to be inclusive and collaborative, while serving up a wide variety of activities for all student interests.

Fourth grader Cady Bergamino stated: “I love the sensory garden because I love the smell and feel of lavender. The smell of lavender calms me.”

This design for this “revolutionary” learning center was led by computer science teacher Skye Donzelli. Principal Ray Gredder noted that Donzelli led a team of teachers through the grant writing process over a year ago.

After the school was awarded with the grant in October, Donzelli organized her team to execute the vision. The Memorial team included media specialist Jennifer Stenard, classroom teachers Sonia Rivera, Laura Grube, Lois Muhaw, special education teachers Angela O’Cone and Mike Savino, instructional coach Erin Lowman and guidance counselor Samantha Murrillo.

“This space is a truly unique and special. The hard work that Mrs. Donzelli put in to lead this effort is monumental. She is supported by an amazing team of teachers who dedicated

themselves to personally designing this space for our students,” said Principal Gredder. “We are blessed to have such dedicated staff, such strong support from our senior administration and Board of Education, from our PTA and we are especially thankful to our partners at OceanFirst Bank for their time, generosity and care for our school.”

Not only does The Bulldog Retreat focus on innovative and active learning, but it also highlights “the peaceful choice” with a giant peace rock garden accented with stones decorated by students and staff. Before being named The Bulldog Retreat, its original title was The Outdoor Classroom for the Peaceful Path, Gredder said.

Adding to that “peaceful” theme are friendship benches, outdoor games, and designated student “Peace Leaders,” which help to guide others and foster relationships in the space.

The Bulldog Retreat is not Memorial’s first model classroom either. Memorial is also home to special education programs such as autistic education, cognitively impaired classrooms and multiply disabled classrooms.

Memorial also has a STEM Room, The Bulldog Think Tank, and is looking to launch its own STEM center in the near future.

“We are all in this together for the reason of helping children. We love to tell our story and help others if we can, it has been a big focus for our school district and we will continue to keep our doors open here at Memorial,” Gredder added.

The essence of the outdoor model classroom can be described by Memorial student Juliet Bonevich, who stated: “I like getting to go outside more, not for recess, but to learn. It gets me excited about learning!”

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Fear Of Planes

Dear Joel, I have a problem that I hope you will be able to help me with. I have been married to my husband for 30 years as of this May and he has a phobia of flying on planes and we just booked our first vacation in almost ten years to Italy. At first, he was okay with the fact that he was going to have to get on an airplane, but last night he told me we should cancel. What should I do? I don’t want this to sound selfish, but I really want to go on this vacation.

Marissa Lake Como, NJ Dear Marissa, Thank you for reaching out to me about this issue. First off, Happy Anniversary.

Secondly, please do not think that you are selfish because you most certainly are not. You got excited for a vacation that has been planned for a long time and now that the date is approaching,

there is a possibility that it won’t happen so your disappointment is totally normal.

As for your husband not wanting to fly on planes, I would remind him that it is very normal to be afraid of flying, but despite what you hear on the news, flying is very safe. I have flown overseas many times and find that the service is much friendlier too because it’s such a long flight. I would also tell him to bring a computer or a phone onto the plane and play some games to get his mind off of being on a plane.

I hope this helps.

NEW HOWELL LOCATION!!

Location: 4539 US Highway 9 • Howell, NJ 07731 (Next to Gold’s Gym)

Caffeine Is A Natural Option For ADHD

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Caffeine is the number one stimulant and and psychoactive drug in the world!

The category of ADHD medications such as Concerta, Adderall, Ritalin, Dexedrine and others are “stimulant” drugs, and so is caffeine. They all raise certain compounds in the body such as dopamine and norepinephrine (and others).

Here are 5 reasons why i think this is a good option for some of you: 1. Most all medical treatments for ADHD include a nervous system stimulant, which may sound strange to you, considering the patient appears to be overly active, wound up or unfocused. But this is true, conventional treatment of ADHD utilizes physiological stimulants. Caffeine is a stimulant.

2. A study published in the European Neuropsychopharmacology, concluded that caffeine can normalize dopamine levels (which is exactly what the pharmacy drugs do). Caffeine raises both dopamine and norephinephrine, just like the medications.

3. There was a study that evaluated caffeinated tea. They concluded that “The caffeine in tea can reduce one’s fatigue, increase people’s self-confidence, motivation, alertness, vigilance, efficiency, concentration, and cognitive performance.”

4. So profound is caffeine’s impact on the brain and cognitive function that Stanford University even funded a small study to evaluate if dextroamphetamine is superior to caffeine in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

5. Caffeine has been shown to extinguish the action of adenosine receptors in your brain. This was discussed in a 2014 review article published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology which recommended the use of caffeine for ADHD.

Just like methylphenidate, caffeine begins to work in about an hour, and as you might expect, the effect wears off after about four hours. Both methylphenidate and caffeine are absorbed and physiologically processed in a similar way. Their mechanism of action is the same, as are the side effects! One is a prescription amphetamine drug, the other is America’s favorite hot coffee!

The downside is that caffeine can wear out adrenals if taken long-term. Caffeine content varies with each food and beverage making daily dosing through diet somewhat difficult. With tea, the amount of time that you steep the teabag determines the caffeine content.

Some people find that caffeine helps their ADHD, while others find that it doesn’t offer any benefit at all. Pay attention to your body and work with your doctor/therapist to find out what is right for you. Too much caffeine or excessively high dosing on stimulants medications may cause insomnia, tachycardia, aggression, diarrhea and dehydration.

The intake of caffeinated drinks, caffeine pills or energy drinks containing caffeine or guarana may seem like a nice and exciting alternative to prescription medications, I just want to caution you that if combined with conventional (amphetamine) medications, the impact could be dangerous. As an aside, many studies point to DHA Fish Oil as a useful essential fatty acid, which may be taken with medications or caffeine.

How much caffeine is too much? The United States FDA hasn’t fully defined this but the Canadian government has suggested not to exceed 85 mg in kids aged 10 to 12 years. I have a much more comprehensive version of this article that I can email to you if you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE “Let’s Talk” With Dr. Jani

By Michael Vandenberg “ T h e e r a of p ate r n a l i s tic medicine where I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, and you’re going to do this bec ause I say so is long gone,” Dr. Samir Jani said to me recently. “That’s just not the way I was trained.”

When it comes to your health, shouldn’t you be in the driver’s seat? That’s certainly the guiding philosophy passed down by Garden State Medic al Center ’s founder, Dr. Dharam Mann, and it’s what makes Dr. Jani the perfect f it here. He wants to use his expertise and impart his knowledge to help you make an informed decision about your pain management.

And there’s no question that Dr. Jani has plenty of information to share because he checks all the boxes when it comes to education. At age 17 he was already accepted into a higher education program that included a guaranteed spot in medical school. He kept a high GPA while taking his courses at an accelerated rate that allowed him to finish a year early. Then he jumped right into residencies and a fellowship focusing on pain, anesthesiology, and internal medicine, culminating in his current specialty of Interventional Pain Management. He finished his fellowship and began practicing in 2016, making his way to GSMC the following year.

Dr. Jani pointed to a variety of reasons as to why he decided to make the switch to GSMC. For one thing, it fosters a seamless team environment. “The support and infrastructure of the practice is huge,” like the large network of staff on hand, to the electronic rec ord keeping. With those tasks already being taken care of, Dr. Jani is able to put his entire focus on alleviating your pain.

After all, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to pain management because people are running out of options by the time they come to him. Most

of Dr. Jani’s patients are those who have seen countless doctors and had lots of tests but have never been able to find a diagnosis and fix the underlying cause. “ My ankle hur ts,” Dr. Jani said as a general example. “I’ve seen ten podiatrists, I’ve had six ankle surgeries, and no one’s fixed it.” But even though it may never be fixed, “there are things we can do to at least help you get rid of the pain”.

Thankfully, Dr. Jani is not the type of doctor who just throws pills at the problem; he has a ver y strict interpretation of the related safety regulations. Not that he doesn’t use medications at all, but it’s only a tiny part of what he can do. “We’re highly inter ventional,” said Dr. Jani. He can target the pain with various injections, or hide the pain using electricity to target different stimulators in the nervous system. By implanting pain pumps, the medication is delivered directly to your spine, creating a much stronger effect.

It all depends on the severity and longevity of the pain.

These steps may seem elaborate, but rest assured Dr. Jani is conservative in his relief suggestions. “I always tell patients that if I don’t have to do something, I don’t want to do it. So if I can make it go away with a two minute injec tion, that ’s what I ’m going to do,” he said. If that

py if that’s what the patient longer has to take any pills. rarely even has to come in for prefer s.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Trusts For Minor Children

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Marc S. Galella. Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children. A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children.

Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education. There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust.

In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children. In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age. In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary spend more of the money in the trust on one child as opposed to the others.

As a parent, most people would be will-

ing to spend everything they had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care Marc S. Galella Esq. than the other children.

By using a common trust you give the trustee the flexibility to do this. The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child.

The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age. This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age. The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child. If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts.

Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Bartley

Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents

By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living.

Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents.

One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years.

“I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor.

Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose.

“You do what you want to do,” she says.

For thirty years, Bartley

Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Officer Philip Scalo and his physician partners.

“My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.”

With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team.

Others think so, too.

The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America.

“What we’ve always

tried to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says.

For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that ser ve their healthcare

needs.

Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground.

Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties.

Bar tley Healthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes.

Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care.

The campus facilities also offer inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation; assisted living; memory care programs; respite/ hospice; and at-home services.

“We started with a basic concept, understanding and meeting the individual needs of both resident and patient,”Scalo says.

“Each step of our development has been based on the need for services. (For example,) in the late 1990s, we saw the need for memor y care programs.”

Scalo says that he and his partners have plans to add respirator y ser vices and a sub-acute program for Alzheimer’s patients.

Even after a resident leaves Bartley Healthcare, the facility ensures their continued rehabilitation by providing a follow-up program.

Residents that live at The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living will feel right at home right away.

N e st l e d i n a qui et c ount r y set t ing, T he Orchards promotes a neighborhood environment. Located within the community, “Main Street” is a hub of activity that features a theater, exercise center, library with c omputer s, hair salon and barber shop, game room and other

gathering areas.

Family recreational oppor tunities abound at t h e n e i ghb o r h o o d movie theater, greenhouse and playground

Residents can share their Bartley adventure with other residents or pursue independent pastimes, indoors or outdoors. The choice is theirs.

Scalo says that Bartley’s core values are attitude, trust, teamwork, integrit y, re spect and excellence, which he emphasizes on a green bracelet with the acronym “A.T.T.I.R.E.” “The key thing we stress is that we’re a home providing the care levels needed at a certain phase in (an individual’s) life,” Scalo says. “It’s home for (on-site) staff, not What we’ve always just residents. We are tried to do is be leaders very experienced in this community and in our field. (we) give back to our –Chief Executive community.”

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen New Take On Caesar Salad Shows Dish’s Versatility

By Wolfgang Puck What makes a recipe food lovers refer to as a classic?

It has to taste delicious and, of course, look beautiful.

It should satisfy the other senses, too, offering enticing aromas, pleasing textures, and even delightful sounds.

A classic should also stand the test of time, regardless of whatever food fads may come or go.

I’d like to add another qualification: A classic must be so good that it’s also versatile, leaving room for some creativity. Professional chefs and home cooks alike come to appreciate the ability such dishes have to seem fresh and new when we want them to.

By such standards, Caesar salad certainly counts as a classic. The improvised creation of restaurateur Caesar Cardini, who whipped it up late one evening in 1924 from odds and ends in his kitchen in Tijuana, Mexico, the dish has long since become a worldwide favorite: a simple yet complex-tasting assemblage of crisp, chilled Romaine lettuce; garlicky croutons; and a rich dressing of egg, garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, Parmesan and a hint of canned salted anchovy fillets, which may also be added whole as a garnish.

Restaurant guests today have long since grown accustomed to enjoying Caesar salad as a dinner appetizer or lunchtime main dish, the latter frequently topped with grilled seafood, chicken or steak. I’ve seen several variations: low-fat Caesars in which the dressing’s egg is replaced by creamy, fat-free Greek yogurt; Southwestern Caesar salads seasoned with smoky dried chipotle chilies; and trendy Caesars in which raw kale replaces the Romaine. And, if they’re made with culinary know-how, they all work, as smart variations on a classic often do.

In that spirit, I’d like to share one of my own spins on Caesar salad; this one inspired by the cuisine of southern France, where I spent some of my formative years as a chef cooking under the late, great Raymond Thuilier at his famed, Michelin-starred L’Oustau de Baumaniere. This version keeps the lettuce and dressing largely unchanged.

Its departure from tradition comes in the croutons.

Instead of the usual bread cubes, I start with wider, bite-sized pieces. Before baking, I toss them not only with garlic, olive oil and Parmesan, but also fragrant fresh herbs you might find growing on a Provencal hillside. Then, just before serving, I spread each crouton with tapenade, the classic olive spread of the region, for which I offer an easy, delicious recipe here. Combined with the cold lettuce and fragrant dressing, it all adds up to a Caesar salad that tastes both unmistakably authentic and surprisingly different.

I hope you enjoy this version, which makes a perfect springtime or summer recipe. May it also inspire you to come up with your own variations on a classic!

For the tapenade croutons: 1/3 cup (85 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1-pound (500-g) loaf day-old sourdough bread, cut into slices 1/3 inch (8 mm) thick, slices cut into large bite sized pieces, to get about 2 cups (500 mL) of pieces Black-and-green olive tapenade (recipe follows) For the salad: 2 heads baby romaine lettuce or hearts of romaine, or 1 large head romaine, leaves separated, rinsed well, patted dry thoroughly, wrapped in a clean damp kitchen towel, and chilled in the refrigerator

Caesar vinaigrette (recipe follows) Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Freshly ground black pepper First, make the tapenade croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oil, Parmesan, garlic, oregano and thyme. Add the bread, and toss well to coat. Arrange the bread in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown on all sides, turning them about halfway through, about 10 minutes total. Remove from the oven, cool to room temperature, and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

For the salad, trim the lettuce and tear into bite-sized pieces; or, if using smaller leaves, keep them whole. Put the lettuce in a large mixing bowl and toss well with enough Caesar vinaigrette to coat evenly.

Arrange the lettuce attractively on chilled salad plates, stacking whole leaves or mounding pieces. Sprinkle with Parmesan and black pepper to taste.

Just before serving, spread a thin layer of black-andgreen tapenade on one side of each crouton. Arrange croutons on top of or around the salads. Serve immediately.

BLACK-AND-GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE Makes 1 heaping cup (250 mL) 1 cup (250 mL) Nicoise olives, pitted 1 cup (250 mL) small green French olives (Picholines), pitted 1/4 cup (60 mL) drained oil-packed sun-dried tomato pieces 1 tablespoon drained capers 1 clove garlic, trimmed and peeled 1 oil-packed anchovy fillet, drained 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves 1/4 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil Put all of the ingredients except the oil in a food processor. Pulse the machine on and off until the ingredients are coarsely chopped and well blended. Turn on the machine and continue processing while slowly adding the oil, until the mixture resembles a coarse puree. Transfer to a covered container and use as needed, storing in the refrigerator for up to one week.

CAESAR VINAIGRETTE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 1 large pasteurized egg 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon crush red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained and mashed 1 scant cup (250 mL) peanut oil 1/3 cup (85 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, mustard and anchovies. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the oils to form a thick emulsion. Stir in the cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week, whisking again before use.
