Senior Bullying: Some Things Really Don’t Get Better With Age

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Perhaps you know the little boy in elementary school that got called “four-eyes” for wearing glasses every day. Maybe you were the girl who got made fun of for her hand-me-down clothes in high school.

These are familiar tropes when it comes to bullying, as so many have seen it or lived it at some point in their life. We watch it in TV shows, movies, and see it in everyday life.

But do we ever see this bullying represented in the adult or senior community?

While it may not be quite as easily recognized, bullying in senior communities is a problem nonetheless. Melanie Decker, director of Senior Services for Howell Township, is working to eradicate the problem in not just Howell, but in all senior communities by spreading awareness.

“Senior bullying is no different from the bullying that we hear about with children/adolescents,” Decker told Jersey Shore Online. “Bullying is intentional repetitive aggressive behavior that involves an imbalance of power and strength.”

Senior bullying can occur wherever seniors gather. It could happen at a senior center, on senior

trip made, Lucia’s grandmother, Ester Jordan of Tinton Falls, is working hard to ensure that two other local families will have this same opportunity.

Jordan is selling handmade bracelets at two local Ocean County salons to raise money for Kick Cancer Overboard, the nonprofit that helped Lucia’s family.

“Our mission is to give free cruises to people who have been affected by cancer.

To offer them a break for a few days, so the most important question is not how to pay for their next medical bill, but whether to play bingo, get a massage or sing karaoke,” according to KCO’s website.

Jordan has been making beaded bracelets as a hobby for some time. However, it wasn’t until recently that lightning struck: “I thought ‘What a great way to raise money for a great cause.’ I am making the bracelets by myself and 100% proceeds are going to KCO,” she told Jersey Shore Online.

Jordan has made a few hundred bracelets and partnered with Hair Hut salon in

If these salons manage to sell 300 bracelets each, they get to choose a local family fighting cancer to go on a free cruise.

“It will be entirely up to each owner,” said Jordan.

Each bracelet is $10.

“I am trying to get the public into the salons to purchase bracelets so we can pay it forward!” she added.

Jordan wants to provide another family with the ability to relax in the midst of all the stress and worry that accompanies the fight against cancer. When Lucia took her family on the cruise, she had so much fun riding on bumper cars, swimming, and even rock climbing, Jordan said.

With the help of the salon owners, Jordan hopes to turn those dreams into reality.

“I have to tell you the owners of the salon are amazing…When I explained to them what my ideas they were both all in and so excited to help out!” she added.

Bullying:

Continued From Page 1 bus services, at nursing homes, assisted living facilities, senior communities, even at the local coffee shops where seniors congregate to have coffee or breakfast, according to Decker.

In 2017, the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) published a prevention resource on bullying among seniors. In it, NCAL Customer Relations Committee Chair Jeanne Jaeckels writes: “While assisted living communities offer a great opportunity for seniors and individuals with disabilities to socialize with others facing similar needs, we cannot assume that everyone will get along, or that victimization won’t occur. But that does not mean we simply accept it either.”

When someone says the word “bullying,” one might conjure up an image of a child being tripped in the hallway or a kid getting harassed for his lunch money. Decker noted that while senior bullying is still aggressive, more often than not it is not physical in this way.

“With older adults it is often nonphysical types of aggression but its goal is to impede the development of seniors making social connections,” she said.

Decker cited Robin Bonifas, a social worker at Arizona State University and author of “Bullying Among Older Adults,” to point out that there are typically three types of bullying: verbal, anti-social or relational, and physical.

Decker highlighted anti-social or relational-type bullying as the main method in many senior communities. Bonifas described this as “excluding others, shunning, mimicking others, preventing others from passing or getting on elevators, threatening body language or gestures.”

The Howell Times, August 10, 2019, Page 5 The NCAL separates these actions, claiming that women are more likely to gossip, snipe, be a part of a clique, display passive aggressive behavior or manipulate emotions. Men are more direct, spontaneous, verbally or physically abuse, or overly protective.

Typically, the difficulty of a transition into life at a new senior community can provide cause for this kind of bullying, according to NCAL. Or it could be related to health issues that bring about more aggressive or impulsive behaviors, such as dementia.

“What we see at the Senior Center used to be called “Seat Saving issues” but now we realize it’s the main form of bullying,” she explained.

“We also see issues with “Pretty Napkins” being brought in and those that receive one are accepted into the group.”

Other methods of bullying take the form of: refusing to speak with new members of a community, anger over members that speak another language, leaving others out of games or group activities, making comments on another’s abilities to participate in a game/activity, or making comments about another’s intelligence.

“Bus transportation is another issue because when someone is too slow coming out to the bus members may tell the driver to just leave…others will try to kick people out of seats in the bus or push to get to the front of the line for the bus,” said Decker.

This even extends out of the common areas into residences, where some seniors reported issues in the laundry rooms in their buildings, she added.

“We do not have a lot of bullying at the center, but it does go on,” Decker stressed. While it is an issue at large, Decker emphasized that Howell’s Senior Center is not a hub for this type of behavior in any way. “Other issues are that members do not like

this type of behavior, but they do not stand up to the “bully” to tell them that there aren’t assigned seats and anyone can sit at the table. We have a lot of bystanders.”

However, just as it is with the younger generations, bullying in senior communities continues despite having bystanders take action because “many people fear retaliation,” thus it goes unreported.

“Many people tell me they don’t want to create an issue or they don’t want to make a big deal about something when I do get told of possible bullying,” she said.

So, in an effort to work against a silently growing problem, Decker is spreading awareness. Through education, discussion sessions, articles, and media, Senior Services is drawing attention to senior bullying as well as how to prevent it.

Recently, Senior Services paired up with fourth and fifth graders from the Aldrich School to put on a bullying awareness event with skits back in June. This brought a difficult topic to light while bridging the generational gap.

In addition to this, Decker said she is always making announcements, writing about it in the department’s newsletter, having one-on-one conversations with people, and even started a Welcoming Committee to help new members to ease in.

“This is not a new phenomenon; it just now has a name. The ‘seat saving issues’ that have been going on at the senior center have been going on here for 20+ years, we are now just realizing how much the issue does exist and how detrimental it can be to one’s self-esteem, health and happiness,” she said.

An important facet of senior bullying is that it is not to be seen as comparable to elder abuse.

“We have laws against elder abuse and the exploitation of elders but these situations are different and often involve a younger generation

as the abuser. The victim is often seen as more vulnerable and susceptible than the perpetrator,” Decker explained.

Since there are no laws on the books against bullying in senior communities, as there are with the younger generations, Decker’s main priority is spreading the word, making people aware that it is happening, and encouraging those involved to speak up and report.

“Overall the center is so welcoming, but it is nerve wracking to go from sitting home, being alone, lonely and isolated (this is the case for some people that have joined the center but not all) to walking into the center and there are 100+ members here,” said Decker. “If you are told on your first day you cannot sit at a table it’s very disheartening and can turn people away.”

Turtles:

Continued From Page 1 It’s a little before 7:30 a.m. July 30. At least 200 people were waiting to see Vesper, the 5-pound juvenile Kemp’s Ridley - the most endangered of all sea turtles - be released back into the ocean after recovering at the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo, Sea Turtle Recovery (STR), in West Orange. He or she is the 41st turtle STR has released since starting 2 years ago.

“We don’t actually know if Vesper is a boy or a girl. He’s too young to tell without some extensive testing that doesn’t change how we would treat his illness, so it’s not something we would put the turtle through,” STR co-executive Bill Deerr said.

Kemp’s Ridleys nest in Texas or Mexico and migrate north in the warmer months to feed before heading south again.

Vesper was found in Cape Cod and taken to the Sea Turtle Rescue at the New England Aquarium in Boston. Often, when that hospital finds itself overcrowded, they will send turtles down to STR. Vesper was found cold-stunned, “a condition in which the sea turtle’s body systems begin to shut down if the animal failed to migrate before water temperatures became too cold. It also was diagnosed with an impaction of swallowed sand, a severe ear infection, and pneumonia, all of which are now cured,” a July 29 STR statement said.

Indeed, such turtles are released only June through September at the Jersey Shore, where ocean temperatures are safe for turtles to return to.

Vesper was carried by an STR volunteer down the beach to just before the high-tide mark, and then gently placed on the sand before it started making his way to the water. A large wave crashed in shortly after, and Vesper disappeared in the surf to an eruption of applause from onlookers.

If Vesper is male and stays healthy, “we hope to never hear from him again,” Deerr said. “You should never see a sea turtle on the beach. So, if he washes up again, that means he’s sick.”

But if Vesper is female, “then yes, we definitely want to see those tag hits come back once she’s nesting, probably in another 10 years or so.”

According to National Geographic, Kemp’s Ridley turtles have an average life span of 50 years in the wild. They’ll grow to 2 feet and 100 pounds. Females, sexually mature at around age 12, nest every 1 to 3 years.

Deerr and co-executive Brandi Biehl founded the nonprofit STR in 2014, and with the help of generous corporate donors, opened their 4,000-square-foot care facility at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo in 2016.

They remain an independent nonprofit with two full-time staffers, a part-time veterinarian, and volunteers.

“All the sea turtles in the world are either threatened or endangered,” Deerr said.

“The species we released today is critically endangered. There aren’t many of those left in the world today.

Deerr continued: “The vast majority of the effects that are affecting their population are human caused. You have poaching, fishing interactions, beach development, all those things come in to play in taking away their nesting habitat. Activities on the water can impact them as well. Pollution is a huge issue. I know everybody talks about it all the time, but we see turtles with plastic ingestion on a regular basis. It’s not a rare thing.”

And, turtles get sick like everyone else.

They treat turtles with respiratory infections and cold-stun, the illness that brought Vesper to them, and illnesses that set in after that.

Depending on the type and severity of the problem, turtles have stayed at STR from 3 months to 15 months, though Deerr knows of cases where turtles have had to stay in other hospitals for 4 years before being released.

To continue their work, STR does depend on donations. Anyone interested in donating can visit seaturtlerecovery.org for more information.

Day to day, Deerr said people can help by putting trash where it belongs (hint: not the ocean), recycling and reducing their consumption of single-use plastics.

“It really is something simple that people can do. It’s just a matter of changing your habits, and you can make those changes in your day-to-day life and it has a huge impact on our environment, not just sea turtles.”

With the summer heat upon us, JCP&L is prepared to meet the anticipated increase in customer electricity usage that comes with a heat wave. Our system is designed and maintained to operate safely and efficiently even when temperatures soar, and our crews have reviewed hot weather operational procedures to ensure any power outages are handled promptly.

JCP&L offers some common-sense hot weather tips customers can follow to stay comfortable while using electricity wisely during this period of high demand: • Set thermostats as high as comfort will allow. Every degree a customer can increase the temperature in their home will result in using about 3 percent less energy during the hottest summer days.

• During sunny weather, close drapes or blinds on windows facing the sun to prevent direct radiant heating from impacting interior temperatures.

• Use fans – moving air cools skin faster, resulting in greater comfort on hot days.

• Use a programmable thermostat to keep temperatures higher when no one is home, and to reduce the temperature before arrival back home.

• Only operate window air conditioners when someone is in the room.

• Keep refrigerators and freezers as full as possible.

Frozen or cold items in the refrigerator help keep other items cool, reducing the amount of work the refrigerator has to do to maintain a lower temperature.

• Close rooms that aren’t used regularly during the summer, and close the air conditioning vents in those rooms, as well.

• Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work the air conditioner will do.

• Consider investing in ENERGY STAR® appliances or heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. JCP&L may offer rebates on these purchases and tax deductions may apply, as well.

• Check air conditioner and furnace fan filters.

Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing HVAC systems to work harder than necessary.

In addition, if summer storms result in downed wires it is important to avoid the area and immediately call JCP&L. If you see a downed power line, always assume it is live and dangerous. Report downed power lines immediately by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (888-544-4877). Extra caution should be exercised in areas where downed wires may be tangled in downed tree branches or other debris.

“Clear The Shelters”: Help Animals Find Fur-ever Homes

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Get matched with the perfect furry friend to add to your family at this year’s Clear the Shelters national adoption event!

On August 17, the 5th annual event will take place at the Ocean County Animal Facilities in Jackson and Manahawkin, 1-4 p.m.

“This is a fantastic event that we look forward to participating in every summer,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The Clear the Shelter event has been a success every year and we look forward once again to finding good, loving homes for all the wonderful pets we have available for adoption at both facilities.”

Clear the Shelters is an annual event that aims to find loving fur-ever homes for as many animals as possible by matching cats, kittens, dogs and puppies with responsible, serious pet owners. In the last two years, Clear the Shelters help over 70 pets find permanent loving homes.

“It’s really special to see how the community supports this event. So many people tell us they keep this event in mind when they’ve been seriously looking to find a special pet to add to their family,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health

Coordinator. “It’s been another busy summer so there will be plenty of kittens, cats and dogs to choose from.”

Adoption fees will be half the price on all pets during the event.

Every dog and cat adopted from the Ocean County Animal Facilities receives a veterinary exam, age appropriate vaccinations, is spayed/ neutered, and microchipped. Every one that adopts a pet will also receive a free goodie bag stuffed with treats and toys.

“We have a large variety of kittens and cats that are just adorable. Our dogs come in a variety of breeds, sizes and ages,” said Brian Lippai, OCHD Public Information Officer. “The Ocean County Health Department encourages responsible pet ownership and we like to discourage people from buying from puppy mills. There’s nothing quite like a shelter pet” The Ocean County Animal Facilities are located at 615 Freemont Street in Jackson and 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin.

For more information on “Clear the Shelters” or the Ocean County Animal Facilities, call 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127, or check out the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

County To Host Master Composter Training Program This Fall

By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – A Master Composter Training Program will be held this fall, hosted by the Ocean County’s Department of Solid Waste Management and the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

“This program provides attendees with the tools to be master composters and gives them the opportunity to teach others in their communities about the importance of composting,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gary Quinn. “We want to encourage our residents to sign up and take advantage of what this program has to offer.”

The program will take place on two consecutive Saturdays, Sept. 14 and Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Recycling Education Center at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center.

The program is free to Ocean County residents and taxpayers. There is a $75 fee for non-residents.

Each applicant is encouraged to be sponsored by a group or organization as this ensures the opportunity to establish an outreach network for the program. Many types of groups can sponsor an applicant including garden clubs, municipalities, environmental commissions, recycling committees, retirement communities or service clubs.

The course is limited to 20 participants and the registration deadline is Aug. 26.

For more information and to register, contact

Sandra Blain-Snow, Recycling Program Aide, at 732-506-5047 or by email at sblain-snow@ co.ocean.nj.us. Registration can also be completed online by filling out and submitting an application at co.ocean.nj.us/recycle and clicking on Composting. Select Master Composter Volunteers from the drop down menu.

Once you complete the Master Composter Training Program, you can assist with the county’s efforts in providing residents with information on managing the organic waste they produce in their homes and the benefits of composting.

“Master composters have been doing a great job in volunteering their time to help other Ocean County residents who are interested in composting,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. “The Master Composter Program is a great way to learn about how to manage and reuse the organic waste that is generated in our own homes.”

Trained volunteers agree to provide a total of 24 hours of outreach, education and service to promote the benefits of home composting. They are encouraged to tailor their outreach activities to their individual strengths and preferences.

“The environmental benefits of using compost are significant,” Quinn said. “It can help clean up contaminated soil, reduce runoff of toxic materials and improve your garden or lawn.”

Monmouth County Partners with Brookdale Community College to Provide Social Services to Students FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Division of Social Services (MCDSS) has partnered with Brookdale Community College to offer social services to students by having a MCDSS social worker on campus two days each week.

The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, MCDSS and Brookdale leadership met to discuss the need on Brookdale’s campus for increased access to social services since many students did not know where to turn when they needed housing, food and more.

“This partnership is a very good fit for everyone,” said Christine Aumack, administrative supervisor of Social Work, Monmouth County Division of Social Services “There was a need for a larger connection between Brookdale Community College and the Monmouth County Division of Social Services. We decided to bring our resources directly to the students by having a social worker available to them on campus, and we immediately knew Sylvina Mendez would be perfect for this role.”

Sylvina Mendez, a social worker for MCDSS, who has more than 30 years of social work experience, works at the Brookdale-Lincroft campus Veteran’s Center on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“This is a great example of just one of the ways that working with partners like Brookdale Community College can better address the human needs in our community,” said Freeholder Sue Kiley, liaison to Human

Services. “Sylvina has been a great source of help and information to the students at Brookdale, and we are very proud of the program’s success. We continue to explore new ways to collaborate for the betterment of our community.”

Mendez provides students with information on how to access services such as SNAP, Medicaid, Cash Assistance programs such as TANF and GA, homeless and housing services, disability services, utility assistance, domestic violence services and support and much more. If a student does not qualify for a service, she works with them to see what their family can qualify for.

“My presence at Brookdale Community College is part of Monmouth County’s efforts to reach populations that may be in need and who are currently underserved,” said Mendez. “I have been very well received by the students and the staff at Brookdale. I think many people do not realize all the resources that people have access to through social services, so it has been exciting to be able to help so many students and their families.”

A longtime resident of Middletown, Mendez received her bachelor’s degree in social work from Monmouth University and earned her master’s degree in social work from Rutgers University. Students interested in meeting with Mendez can stop by her office on the Lincroft campus in MAC 109 or make an appointment by calling 732-224-1983 or emailing smendez@ brookdalecc.edu.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth PrimeTime Center Moves to New Eatontown Location

By Fran Kirschner EATONTOWN – PrimeTime Center (PTC), a day program that emphasizes independent living and actual community experiences for adults with developmental disabilities, has moved into a 7,000 sq. ft. location at 51 James Way, Eatontown. An open house is being planned late September for PTC’s new Eatontown location.

Dave Mock, PTC director, said the former center at 240 Broad Street, Eatontown, was not big enough to accommodate about 65 participants and 15 staff members. The new facility includes a state of the art kitchen that will be used for meal preparation, multiple activity rooms equipped with smartboard technology, and a large common area where participants can eat, socialize, and cultivate friendships.

With the larger space, PTC also plans to offer pre-vocational services to clients

sometime in the fall. Mock said, “Learning important job skills will lead participants to greater independence and involvement in their community.”

PTC also has centers at 60 High Street, Carteret, and 485 Brick Boulevard, Brick.

In its three New Jersey locations, PTC employs about 45 staff members and services more than 200 participants throughout New Jersey. When they began in the summer of 2012, PTC had a staff of four and three participants.

Eligible adults can apply for PTC services through the Division of Developmental Disabilities. Transportation is provided to and from the program for participants who live within a five-mile radius.

Gadolinium MRI Contrast Dye Accumulates In Brain

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Gadolinium is a silvery-white heavy metal that is injected into the body through a vein and it is a contrast dye.

Sometimes it is referred to as contrast media. They help the radiologist see inside you. Gadolinium is like a flashlight in your body.

MRIs that require gadolinium can be ordered for many reasons including migraines, coronary artery disease, stroke evaluation, brain tumors, infections and cysts/tumors. Thousands of shots of gadolinium dye are administered to people each day.

Side effects may or may not occur. If they do, they are generally very mild like a headache, dizziness, pain at the injection site, prickling or burning sensation on the skin and sometimes nausea. These issues settle down within 24 hours as your body eliminates the drug from your kidneys. It helps if you take an analgesic and some detoxification supplements like glutathione, catalase and R-lipoic acid.

Gadolinium is in the news because the popular dye appears to be retained in the brain, raising safety concerns, especially for people who have multiple MRIs per year. More specifically, there has been a study regarding patients who have MS (multiple sclerosis) and these patients were tracked for five years starting from their diagnosis. Over the five years, the researchers found that a by-product of gadolinium called “gadodiamide” does in fact accumulate in the brain.

About nine percent of MS patients who received 5 doses or less did have accumulation in their dentate nucleus, which

is involved in voluntary motor function and cognition. What is the clinical impact of this? No one is certain yet. The findings were published in a medical journal called Neurology, July 2019.

The study is causing controversy MS community for good reason. The MRIs are needed and useful, but the contrast dye might be harmful if used over and over. Should they get MRIs and if so, is there another contrast dye to use? Is the dye necessary at all? Are all the MRIs necessary? Is the disease progression causing the brain to hold more, or is it ‘sticking’ to everyone’s brain that gets injected with it? No one knows these answers. There are more questions than answers as of this writing. The study did not find any clear correlation between deposition of the dye in the brain and disability.

Radiologists nationwide must be beside themselves because again, the dye allows them to provide more accurate results for you. If, for example, the doctor needs to locate an aneurysm, do you really reject to the contrast dye?

Since the relationship of gadolinium with disease severity remains unclear, talk to your doctor about whether or not the radiologist needs the contrast dye. Sometimes they can see certain areas without it. If you have a history of kidney compromise, let them know at the imaging center. Every now and then, there’s an extremely dangerous kidney complication, or life-threatening allergic reaction but predicting who has a high risk for these problems is almost impossible.

FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Fair began its 45th annual, five day run where Freeholder Lillian G. Burry crowned the Monmouth County 2019 4-H Ambassador, Olive Scaff, on the Fair’s opening night at East Freehold Park.

“Each year, County 4-H’ers eagerly await the Fair because it provides the traditional opportunity to educate the public, showcase their knowledge and skills at the 4-H animal shows,” said Freeholder Burry, liaison to the Park System and 4-H Association. “4-H Ambassadors are carefully selected and exemplify what it truly means to be a part of the 4-H Association as they promote the youth development program.”

Scaff, a resident of Atlantic Highlands, has been a member of Teen Council and Monmouth Livestock while serving as one of the founders and vice president of Stars and Strides, the Monmouth County 4-H horse club.

Monmouth County 4-H involves children from kindergarten through one year passed high school (grade 13) in numerous clubs and activities. Traditional clubs involve livestock and farming activities. More animal clubs include herpetology, care for arachnids, newts, salamanders and snakes. Other clubs develop skills in crafts, art, photography, writing, dance and theater arts.

“On behalf of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, I would like to commend the supportive 4-H staff and adult volunteers for their tireless efforts in instilling the core values of independence, belonging, mastery and generosity in County youth,” said Freeholder Burry. “These high character individuals are the backbone of the 4-H organization and devote hours of their time each year to planning and making the Fair superb.”

The goals of the Monmouth County 4‐H program are to recognize, showcase and evaluate the accomplishments of 4‐H members, encourage teens and adults to become 4‐H volunteers, highlight the County 4‐H program, familiarize the public with 4‐H philosophy and provide an opportunity for the public to participate in enjoyable and educational, family oriented 4‐H events.

The Monmouth County Fair is a joint project of the Monmouth County Park System, Monmouth County 4-H Association and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Office of Monmouth County.

For more information about the 4-H program, a unit of the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service in Monmouth County, call 732-4317263 or visit the office at the Monmouth County Agriculture Building, 4000 Kozloski Road, Freehold.

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 Christopher R. Shea Esq. employees f rom 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 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.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

GoFundMe Aims To Replace $18K Stolen From Veteran

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – After a local veteran was scammed out of his life savings, his son started up a fundraising website to help regain what was lost.

The GoFundMe page, “Senior with Stage 4 Cancer Scammed out of Savings,” was created by John James on July 30 in order to help his father recoup $18,000 that was taken from him through an ongoing telephone scam.

While the name of the victim has not been released, we know he is a 77-year old military veteran in Ocean County who suffers from stage 4 cancer. He was reportedly working to become a bus driver.

According to the GoFundMe, James’ father received a call last week from someone claiming to be a Social Security agent. This person claimed that his SSN was compromised and that he would need to contact the sheriff’s department to remedy the situation.

While on the phone with someone claiming to be a sheriff, the man was told there was a warrant out for his arrest and that “he needed to do exactly as the agent told him to do.”

“Terrified that he was going to be sent to jail and his life’s savings was in jeopardy, he drove to the bank to withdraw his savings.

In a panic, he drove all over town with his chemo bag to purchased gift cards at Target, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy. The “agents” told

him his money would be protected by giving them the gift card numbers,” read a statement from James on the GoFundMe. All in all, the scammers made out with $18,000 of his money.

“After speaking to the real Sheriff and FBI, there is little to no chance of getting justice or retribution. My father worked his whole life and his savings was stolen from him in one day,” stated James. “My father feels violated, victimized and most of all embarrassed. We are doing our best to keep him in good spirits as he continues to fight his cancer.”

James created the fundraiser to not only help replace the thousands of dollars lost to the scammers, but also to spread awareness about the prevalence of these kinds of phone scams.

These scam callers will “spoof” a number, which means that it looks as if the actual sheriff’s department is calling based on the number, but in reality, it is someone else entirely.

“Please warn everyone you know about these devious plots to scam our loved ones and communities out of their hard-earned life savings,” James said.

As of August 2, the GoFundMe has only recouped $2,590 of the $18,000 goal.

If you wish to contribute, the fundraiser can be found by going to GoFundMe.com and searching for John James.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 10 - aug 16

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do what comes naturally and easily to you. Participate in activities that allow you to utilize your areas of expertise even it something else is vying for your attention. Trying something new and different should wait a day or two.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It may be easier just to do it all yourself. Taking on a partner for a project may prove to be more of a hindrance than a help. Fly solo and you won’t waste valuable time sorting out differing opinions on the best course of action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on quality not quantity. Doing one task well will hold far more value than doing several just-average jobs. Concentrate on getting the details right and you’ll have a product to take pride in.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Courage is being afraid but going ahead anyway. You may need to must your inner confidence to progress through difficult situations this week, but you are up to the task. Check calendar reminders for obligations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the path winwin compromise. Trying to impose your will is likely to be met with opposition so look for ways to create a satisfactory solution. You’ll be at your best when employing your imagination and ingenuity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No one can carry the whole weight of the world on their shoulders. You’ll be running in perpetual circles if you try to please everyone in the upcoming week. Choose carefully how to spend your

valuable time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Waste not, want not. A conservative approach to possessions and finances may lead you to recycle what is still useful or rein in careless spending. Don’t allow jealousy to skew your judgment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Happy bees make the sweetest honey. A fun and enjoyable environment is always more conducive to achieving success with a project or endeavor.

Keeping your sense of humor should be the rule this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a deep breath. If you find that you are getting in over your head, you may want to take a break and recharge your batteries or choose easier-to-attain goals. Giving into casual whims is not advisable now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes less is more. Handle delicate situations carefully and tactfully this week since pushing too hard could end up causing unintended consequences. An objective, subtle and measured approach works best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go at your own pace. Trying to keep up with everyone else may only wear you out so find the comfort zone that works for you and stick with it. Set healthy boundaries and uphold them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Take all the time you need. Don’t allow someone to limit your options by pressuring you to make a quick decision. Seek out alternative solutions or do some research to find the best choice for you.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Are You Enjoying An Overabundant Summer Harvest? Put It In Your Soup Pot!

By Wolfgang Puck At the height of summer, I often happily imagine that Mother Nature has gone wild. What else could you think if you walk out into your vegetable garden or through the aisles of the farmers market and see tomatoes, zucchini, summer squashes, kale, chard, sweet corn, peas and other produce at their most beautiful, freshest, and most flavorful - all just begging to be cooked and eaten.

To be honest, it can sometimes be overwhelming. What to choose? Harvest or purchase too much, and you may be left regretting wonderful ingredients gone to waste. It can seem impossible to cook it all.

But recently, I came across a recipe from a chef on my worldwide culinary team that actually does manage to cook it all, in one big, glorious pot of soup. Vincenzo Scarmiglia, executive chef at Cucina by Wolfgang Puck in Las Vegas, serves guests his version of a traditional Italian recipe he calls Zuppa del Frantoio, which translates as “oil mill soup,” referring to the giant presses used to make cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil.

Good, fragrant olive oil plays an important role in this dish, not only for the initial sauteing but more importantly for finishing each serving with a drizzle that releases wonderful aroma and flavor on contact with the hot soup. But the real stars of this soup are the vegetables, 20 twenty in all (that is, if you count two separate sources of tomato along with two different kinds of beans); all simmered together in vegetable broth. No wonder the dish is also called “Twenty Vegetable Soup.”

Don’t be alarmed by the long list of ingredients.

You’ll only have to buy one each of most of the vegetables, and you can certainly double up on some to make the soup with fewer varieties.

For that matter, feel free to substitute or include other vegetables you like from your garden or the market.

Most of the work involved in preparing the soup goes into simply dicing the vegetables to a uniform size - 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 12 mm) - that will cook evenly and quickly. Then, you just add them to the pot in the right order as listed in the recipe, starting with those that take longer to cook and then later adding more tender vegetables. Toward the end, you add the quick-cooking leaves, chopped cauliflower and the canned beans. (A quick note: Half of the canned beans are pureed to give thick, velvety body to the soup’s broth).

It’s a luxurious bowlful that may remind you of the best minestrone you’ve ever had, apart from the fact that there’s no pasta included. Serve it with lots of crusty Italian bread, and you have a delicious first course that’s so satisfying you may need nothing else to follow.

Set aside in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Do the same with the cranberry or pinto beans. Drain and reserve the whole beans.

Heat the 1/2 cup (125 mL) olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, leek, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir in the zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash and canned and diced tomatoes. Cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir in the potatoes, whole beans and bean purees, and vegetable stock. Raise the heat, stirring occasionally, and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, stir in the cauliflower, corn, peas, spinach, kale and chard. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the kale and chard are tender, 5 to 7 minutes longer.

Season the soup to taste with more olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve ladled into bowls, passing Parmesan and additional oil for each person to add to taste.
