New Year, New Council Leaders
Council May Add Whiting Meeting Spots To Improve Access
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – What do you get when you have an 83-squaremile town and large senior population? The answer, councilmen said, is sparsely attended government council meetings. And though Manchester Council meetings are earlier than most other town’s in the county, it’s dark at 6 p.m. for at least half the year. Many seniors won’t drive after dark; even more think the trek from Whiting to the Toms River border is too far. Newly appointed Council Vice

James Vaccaro, right, will lead council as its president, while Samuel Fusaro, left, took on the council vice presidency. Mayor Kenneth Palmer said at the January 4 reorganization meeting that former President Brendan Weiner alerted him late last year that he would not be seeking the presidency again, as it was important to allow other voices to have say as to what makes council agendas. Vaccaro said that his goals for the coming year are to enact a no-knock ordinance and look into hiring a grant writer, among other goals.
A Move To “Buy In” To Taxpayer Rebate Programs By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – With the aims to help taxpayers save money and to give support to local mom and pop businesses, the concept of “Buy Into” programs are gaining popularity as local towns adopt or debate their merits. The program calls for local businesses to sign up, and residents who shop there can get a portion of their receipt translated into savings on their property tax bill. Reward cards are given to interested residents to use at designated stores, to help track
purchases. Local businesses receive some added exposure as part of the program. For example, if a family of four dines out to a restaurant participating in the program, they receive a designated percentage program rebate when paying the bill (either cash or credit card.) Participants present their card, which is then swiped. When the participating town issues its next property tax bill, the cumulative transactions show up as a tax credit, resulting in a tax bill deduction. The program
is open to all property owners in the participating township. Buy In Brick The program was adopted more than a year ago in Brick, which provides notices on its website prominently about new businesses in the program. Participating businesses display the “Buy In Brick” sticker on storefronts to help promote further. Brick residents have the Buy In Brick Property Tax Rewards card which designated merchants honor and which provide customers a (Rebate - See Page 17)

President Samuel Fusaro wants to remedy that. At the January 4 reorganization meeting, Fusaro said one of his goals for 2016 was to hold at least one, and maybe several, Council meetings in Whiting. The meetings would be held at either Whiting Elementary School on Manchester Boulevard or Whiting Fire Company Station 33 on Lacey Road. A change in venue would need Council approval. Fusaro hopes to have one meeting in Whiting (Council - See Page 17)

Amid Uncertainty, Ocean County Freeholders Reorganize
By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – Absent James Lacey who resigned his seat on the Ocean County freeholder board December 31, the remaining board members met for the annual reorganization meeting January 6 as the potential of a second opening on the five-member board loomed. Freeholder Director John C. Bartlett and Gerry P. Little, both Republican incumbents, were sworn into office for new, three-
year terms by county counsel John C. Sahradnik, who retained his appointment as county attorney. Despite the annual fanfare of the reorganization, which drew public officials from across the county to attend, most of the attention at the meeting was paid to Lacey’s recent resignation as well as the pending appointment of Freeholder Jack Kelly to the state parole board, which would create an additional vacancy among the freeholders.

Ocean County Republican Chairman George R. Gilmore said former state assemblywoman Virginia Haines and Lacey Commiteeman Gary Quinn were the frontrunners to take Lacey’s and Kelly’s seats, respectively. Republican committee members from across the county will meet later in January to choose replacements, but Kelly’s state appointment remains in limbo, and he said at the reorganization meeting that he may, in fact, remain on the board and run for re-election in November. “Come February, I could be seeking
re-election to the Board of Chosen Freeholders, and this board could nominate me to be director of the board,” Kelly said. “Or I could have gone through the confirmation process after being offered the position on the parole board.” Kelly said, under state law, he could remain a freeholder while serving on the parole board, but because “there’s no way you could do both jobs with the hours required.” “It’s up to a bunch of Republicans and a bunch of Democrats who sit on a judiciary committee,” said Kelly. “And we all know how well Republicans and Democrats get along.”
There is also the chance that, come February, Kelly will neither be confirmed nor turned down for the state position, as the state Senate Judiciary Committee could choose to carry the nomination. “Then, I would have to decide whether I’m going to wait for that over a period of time, or if I’m going to look at the [election calendar] and decide whether I’m a candidate for re-election or not,” said Kelly. Bartlett, who served as freeholder director in 2015, will continue in that role. Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who served as deputy director last year, will also continue to hold that spot. Both director titles are for 35 days. At least one new freeholder
is expected to be appointed at one of the board’s two meetings in February. Though the future membership of the board is uncertain, it is likely that the board’s priorities will remain stable. State statute requires the two potential appointed members be Republicans – the same party as the members they would replace. “I’m confident, we will be able to maintain in 2016, the same type of stability we have always had in the past,” said Bartlett, who will retain his customary watch over the county budget. “Freeholder [Joseph] Vicari has always insisted, right fully so, that there be no surprises. Things will change a little bit, but they will be minor.”

Featured Letter Public-Private Partnership Needed
Fifty-three percent of NJ private-sector workers don’t have access to a workplace retirement plan. Since workers are 15 times more likely to save for ret i rement if their employer offers a plan, this means many will be unprepared for r e t i r e m e nt . T h i s i s a problem. In a recent Republican Debate, Gover nor Christie said emphasis shou ld b e on s olv i ng problem s t h roug h t he pr ivate sector rather than gover nment policies. The Secure Choice Savings Act would create a public-pr ivate partnership which will help m il l ion s of New Jer sey worker s ea sily save for retirement. Just li ke a 401K, they can choose whether or not to participate, and can select their contribution
level. This allows f lexibility to accommodate any circumstance workers may face. Employees will be able to save money for retirement, a nd sm a l l bu si ne s se s will be able to provide a benefit with very little effort. Only employees can contribute to their accounts, so neither taxpayers, nor employers fund the program, thereby not costing anything to those not involved. As a senior in college who will soon enter the job market, I join A A R P a n d t h e m a ny leg islat or s f rom bot h parties in support of this bill. Governor Christie s h o u l d s ig n t h i s b i l l which will secure a better financial future for all New Jerseyans. Atif Ahmad Princeton Junction

Letters To The Editor Teenagers at Risk While addiction to opiate-based prescription pain killers and their illegal street cousin heroin is spreading in all demographic and age groups, teenagers are at particular risk. High school students who use prescription opioids like OxyContin, Vicodin and other pain relievers are 33 percent more likely to abuse the drug by the age of 23, according to a recent University of Michigan Study. Further, New Jersey now has the 6th highest youth overdose rate in the nation. The teenage years are a “critical window of vulnerability for substance abuse disorders,” according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, “because the brain is still developing and still malleable.” The parts of the brain that are attracted to drug use mature before the parts of the brain that are responsible for making sound, non-impulsive decisions. We must give parents the tools to prevent opiate addiction in their teenagers and children and that begins with arming them with the information they need to make an informed decision about the use of prescription painkillers. As a just released John Hopkins University School of Public Health Report on the Opiate Epidemic, which strongly recommends tightening up prescribing practices, notes, “Doctors often prescribe pain medications “in quantities and for conditions that are excessive, and in many cases, beyond the
evidence base.” 85 percent of doctors themselves say that opiate based pain medications are over-prescribed. “The bottom line is we’re not seeing consistent, effective, appropriate prescribing of painkillers across the nation, said Tom Frieden M.D., Director of the CDC, “and this is a problem because of the deaths that result.” That is why we are urging the speedy adoption of the Parent Notification Bill (A4760) recently introduced by Assemblyman Joseph A. Lagana (D-38). This legislation provides parents with the critical information needed to make an informed decision about whether their teenager should be prescribed an opiate by requiring that Doctors and other prescribers discuss the potential risks of dependency before writing a prescription as well as where appropriate to discuss potential alternative treatments. When parents make a decision to go forward with an opiate prescription, this legislation provides the added benefit of alerting them to be on the lookout for any signs of dependence developing. If parents must give permission before their child can go on a field trip to the zoo, they sure should be asked for their sign-off, before their child is prescribed an opiate. A more expansive Patient Notification bill (S2366), put forward by Senator Loretta Weinberg (D-37) and Senator Joe Vitale (D-19), which required a conversation with adult patients as well, passed

the State Senate overwhelmingly at the end of 2014. It has yet to receive a Committee hearing in the Assembly Health Committee, Chaired by Herb Conaway (D-7). We are confident, if this bill is given an up and down vote in the Committee, it will clear this hurdle and then easily pass both Houses of the State Legislature. More than one-in-four Americans say that either they or a family member or close friend have been addicted to prescription pain killers, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation Poll. These kind of disturbing numbers tell us we must arm parents with the information they need to protect their children before more lives are ruined and lost. It is time for the Assembly to join the State Senate in taking action and that means the speedy passage of A4760. Elaine and Steve Pozycki Board Members Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey
Why Was Chicago Mayor Hiding Tape Of Police Shooting? I find it sad and totally politically motivated that Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, a very close friend of President Obama, is just now allowing the release of the tape of the murder of a young black man and now another tape is coming out due to the family’s constant pressure. These murders by white policemen of black kids should be known to the public. This is not to say that these kids were innocents in their behavior other than those evenings in August of 2014. It’s the timing I question and the people of Chicago should. The mayor, at that time, was up for re-election and, in my mind, was the reason the tape was not released at that time. If there was nothing to hide, why wasn’t the tape released. The purpose of this letter is not to condone the young
men’s behavior but that of their mayor. I have to hope that all politicians are not like that especially when I go to vote, which I consider a privilege and a God given right in this mighty country. Bette Kooreman Whiting

10th Legislative District - Serving Manchester Senator Jim Holzapfel
Senate Passes Legislation To Improve Safety Of Children Near School Buses
NEW JERSEY ‑‑ Legislation sponsored by Senator Jim Holzapfel (R-10) to improve the safety of children near school buses was approved by the New Jersey Senate in a 38-0 vote. The measure requires that new school buses be equipped with sensors to alert the bus driver when children walk in front of or behind the school bus. The legislation, S-2011, is named “Abigail’s Law” in honor of Abigail Kuberiet, a toddler struck and killed by a school bus as it pulled
away from a bus stop in South Plainfield in 2003. The bus driver didn’t see Abigail in front of the bus and didn’t know the accident had happened until contacted by radio after traveling several blocks. “If a small child walks too closely in front of a large school bus, or stops to tie a shoe or pick up a dropped item while crossing, the bus driver may not be able to see them with tragic results,” said Holzapfel. “Safety sensor technology that could protect
children’s lives is now available, affordable and should be employed in school buses just as it is in many newer passenger cars.” The 2013-2014 National School Bus Loading and Unloading Survey, which includes data provided by state agencies responsible for school transportation safety and/or accident records, found that four out of ten fatalities involving school children in or around the loading or unloading areas of a school bus were the result of
being hit by the child’s own bus while passing in a blind spot of the bus driver. The survey also found that approximately half of the fatalities occurred as children crossing a street to board or after exiting a school bus were hit by passing vehicles that ignored the flashing lights and extended stop sign on the bus that require them to stop. To address those fatalities, Holzapfel sponsored additional legislation which would establish a pilot pro-
gram for municipalities and school districts to use video monitoring systems to help enforce laws against illegally passing a school bus. That measure, S-503, would deter illegal passing by making it easier to identify and prosecute offenders and through substantially increased penalties. “If we employ existing technology to discourage drivers from illegally passing stopped school buses and to alert bus drivers when someone is in front of or behind
Senator Jim Holzapfel their buses, we can eliminate many of the pedestrian deaths of children that occur around school bus stops,” added Holzapfel. Abigail’s Law now heads to Governor Christie’s desk for approval. S-503 passed the Senate on June 29, 2015 and is awaiting a hearing by the Assembly Education Committee.
From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith: Smith’s Stem Cell Bill Now Law
Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – U.S. Rep. Chris Smith’s Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act (H.R. 2820) is now law, and authorizes $265 million for cord blood and stem cell research and treatment over the next five years. Smith and lead co-sponsor Rep. Doris Matsui shepherded the bill through the House last summer. It passed the Senate and House earlier this month and was signed into law by the President over the weekend. As adopted by both houses of Congress, H.R. 2820 now ensures that the two collaborative programs that support treatment and therapies derived from adult stem cell lines will continue to receive funding through 2020. Under the legislation, the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program will be authorized for five years at $30 million annually, while the National Cord Blood Inventory (NCBI) is authorized at $23 million annually for a five-
year period. Smith authored the original law (The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005—P.L. 109-129) that created the national cord blood program and expanded the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program. “It is incredibly timely to reauthorize this life-giving program during this gift-giving time of year,” Smith said. “Americans willing to give the gift of life to others are at the heart of the success of this program. In reauthorizing it we are grateful for the adult donors willing to provide bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells, as well as mothers who donate their child’s cord blood through public cord blood banks.” First passed in 2005, the original legislation established a nationwide integrated bone marrow and cord blood stem cell transplantation program. Stem cells derived from cord blood and bone marrow have been used successfully to treat tens of thousands of patients with such diseases as leukemia, sickle cell anemia and genetic disorders. The enactment of H.R. 2820 will continue to build these donor networks, thus enabling more people to have access to these lifesav-
ing treatments. “It remains one of the best kept secrets in America that umbilical cord blood stem cells and adult stem cells in general are curing people of a myriad of terrible conditions and diseases in adults as well as children. Cord blood, what was once seen as medical waste, is now making miracles,” Smith said. There are 13 public banks contracted through NCBI, including the New Jersey Cord Blood Bank, which collects cord blood from five participating hospitals. The New Jersey Cord Blood Bank, part of Community Blood Services in Montvale, has approximately 7,000 cord blood units in storage and has shipped 300 units to transplant centers for treatment. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) estimates that every year about 12,600 people depend on the programs made available by this law to find an unrelated adult marrow donor or cord blood unit for treatment. Today, Americans have access to more than 12 million adult volunteer donors and 209,000 cord blood units through the national registry, known as “Be The Match.” Transplants involving these
adult stem cells are often the only hope for patients battling fatal blood cancers and other bone marrow disorders and conditions. Since the inception of the registry, the Program has successfully facilitated 68,000 transplants. Importantly, during consideration in the Senate HELP Committee, language was added to direct the relevant agencies to study the state of science using adult stem cells and birthing tissues to develop new therapies for patients. Smith said “Last year I visited Celgene Corporation of Summit, New Jersey to learn of its extraordinary efforts to use
cord blood to heal diabetic foot ulcers and how their researchers have turned amniotic membrane—an old placenta—into wound management that has now advanced past stage three clinical trials to the approval and regulatory filings stage. “Breathtaking scientific breakthroughs have turned medical waste—post birth placentas and umbilical cord blood—into medical miracles treating more than 70 diseases including leukemia, lymphoma and sickle cell anemia,” said Smith. “Not only has God in His wisdom and goodness created a placenta and umbilical cord to
Come To The Original Come To The Best!
nurture and protect the precious life of an unborn child, but now we know that another gift awaits us immediately after birth. Something very special is left behind—cord blood that is teeming with lifesaving stem cells.” The measure had the support of Reps. David Jolly (R-FL) and Chaka Fattah (DPA), and worked with Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Jack Reed (D-RI), Richard Burr (R-NC) and Al Franken (D-MN) who championed the bill in the Senate, making helpful modifications and sending it back to the House for one final vote of approval December 16.

TOMS RIVER – Established in March of 2015, Good Shepherd ANCC has been growing every week and now ministers to well over 200 families. “We loved our old home and are grateful to our friends at Island Heights United Methodist Church for accommodating us to worship there, but the time to move on is now. With so many new faces, we felt it was time to have a church that could not only accommodate the new parishioners but that we could truly call home as well.” Located on the corner of Riverwood Drive and Whitesville Road, Good Shepherd will now have Masses on Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 8 and 10 a.m. The last few weeks have brought the parishioners together to make the former New Apostolic Church to become a Catholic Chapel. Led by their Franciscan Friar Pastor, Father
Anthony Lipari, FCM as well as Priest Associate Father Miguel Fernandez, the church has grown rapidly in the last year. It is an all-inclusive church welcoming disenfranchised, alienated, divorced and hurt Catholics who are looking to continue their Catholic traditions in a more progressive and welcoming celebration. Gays and lesbians are welcomed in this outreaching church and LGBTQ+ weddings are also welcomed. The weekly Liturgies are understandable and uplifting. Religious education for youth and families and adults is provided, as well. Father Anthony and the parishioners of Good Shepherd extend a welcoming outreach to everyone who wants to experience Catholic faith with love, hope and celebration. The New Church address is 1890 Whitesville Road, Toms River and you may call at 732-349-6797 or go online at goodshepherdancc.org.

Police Department Welcomes Two New K-9s
MANCHESTER – The Manchester Police Department is pleased to announce two recent additions to their ranks. Funded by Manchester’s Law Enforcement Trust Account, which is comprised of revenue generated from seized and forfeited assets, they were able to purchase two Police K-9s at no cost to the taxpayers. Prior to the arrival of these K-9 officers, Storm and Lynk, it had been many years since Manchester Township maintained a K-9 unit. The reinstitution of this unit will allow the department to better serve residents, since officers will have quick access to a police dog when they are needed. They will be a tremendous asset, especially in missing persons and narcotics investigations. K-9 Officer Storm, a German Shepherd, came to the department in January as a 19-month-old. Since his arrival, Storm and his handler, Officer Marc Micciulla, successfully completed the New Jersey Police K-9 Association Patrol Class. Storm received his name after Officer Micciulla, a Manchester Police D.A.R.E. officer, solicited suggestions from his fifth-grade students. Lynk, a 14-monthold German Shepherd, arrived in August and is currently attending Patrol Class with his
handler, Officer Steven Wendruff. Both K-9s will serve as Dual Purpose dogs, as they will be trained in areas of police patrol operations such as tracking and locating missing persons, suspects and evidence, as well as in narcotics detection. With one of the largest senior citizen populations in the State of New Jersey and many vast expanses of wooded areas, coupled with the ever-growing illicit drug epidemic in Ocean County, K-9 Officers Storm and Lynk will undoubtedly prove to be valuable assets to Manchester Township. Both dogs will be fully trained in patrol operations and narcotic scent detection by the summer of 2016. The Manchester Township Police would like to thank the following individuals and agencies for their generous help in assisting in the establishment of the K-9 Unit: Brick Township Police for donating a K-9 vehicle, Bradley Beach Police for their donation of a K-9 vehicle cage, Stafford Township Police for their guidance, Lead K-9 Trainer Matthew Nemes, K-9 Trainer Ronald Buchanan and Sgt.

Ugly Holiday Sweater 5K A Holiday Hit
–Photo courtesy Susan Kotch LAKEHURST – Unusually warm weather brought out runners in droves for the annual Lakehurst Elementary School’s Ugly Holiday Sweater 5K, a fundraiser for the school’s Student Activities fund. The proceeds from all events sponsored by Student Activities funds programs and trips for the students throughout the year. Susan Fehskens, the school’s science teacher and co-chair of Student Activities, said the fundraiser is one that is usually well-attended, and the warm weather helped to make it a success. “We had a great turnout,
as usual,” Mrs. Fehskens said. “It’s great to see so many people from the community come out to support our students. Student Activities funds the 8th grade dance and trips, and we are so fortunate to have such active school volunteers to help us out with each activity we do throughout the year.” This year’s winners of the Ugly Holiday Sweater 5K included eighth grade student Nick Oliver, who placed second overall and first in his category of males under 17 years of age. Nick clocked an overall time of 19:58.

Get More Life From Your Batteries
Getting maximum life and value from your hearing aid batteries is easy if you follow a few simple tips from Dr. Izzy. Buy the right batteries. Make sure that your batteries have an expiration date on them. Popular brands include Rayovac, Power One and Energizer. Remove tabs when you’re ready to use. When you remove the colored tab, you activate the battery. Wait about one minute before inserting the battery in the battery door. Oxygen has to charge up the battery. As long as you leave the tab in place, the battery air hole is sealed and the battery freshness is preserved. Once the tab is removed, replacing it will not
extend battery life. Store unused batteries properly. Keep batteries in the original card, stored at room temperature until needed. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat and never put them in the refrigerator. Also, contact with metal objects, such as keys or coins, can cause a battery to short circuit. Bid your batteries a proper “good night.” Switching off your hearing aid when not in use prolongs battery life. To make sure the hearing aid is off, simply open the battery door. This also helps dissipate moisture, which is a top enemy of hearing aids and batteries.
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.

chance to earn rebates that can be applied to their property tax bills. Officials said the program has been a success. Brick Mayor John G. Ducey said “we are going over $600,000 in sales as part of the program and $44,000 in tax savings for our residents since we started the program on October 1 2014.” He noted that a wide range of businesses are part of the program including mechanics, window installers and bagel shops, but restaurants are a popular choice. Shop In Berkeley Berkeley is one of the latest communities to take interest in the program and provide property tax rewards for residents who shop locally. Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said his town’s “Shop in Berkeley” Property Tax Reward Program, moved toward implementation after Township Chief Financial Officer Fred Ebenau presented the virtues of it at township meeting. Amato said the free program provided “incentives to Berkeley residents to shop and dine in Berkeley Township. The council adopted a resolution formally approving the creation of the program.” “It’s a win-win for our businesses and taxpayers,” Amato added. Discussion Elsewhere Other communities are considering the idea. Manchester Township is currently re-

by early spring, and perhaps at least one more meeting in Whiting later in the year. “We’re elected by the entire town. We can’t focus on our little corner of the world. That’s why I said we need to go out to Whiting,” Fusaro told The Manchester Times. “We need to let those people see us, know who we are and answer any questions they have face to face. You have been to our meetings, you know. There are two people from Whiting that come pretty much every meeting, but that’s it. We can’t even get people to r u n for Cou ncil f rom W hiting because they don’t want to come out here.” Former Council President Brendan Weiner supports the idea. “Our government constantly looks for ways to become more transparent and more available. I feel this may be an opportunity to become more available to residents on the west side of town who
viewing the project, and invited one of the management companies for the program to give a presentation on it and answer council and public questions. “I personally am very much in favor of the program as it provides immediate tax benefits to our residents and free marketing for our businesses. I truly believe this program will help everyone involved,” Manchester Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer said. Lacey Township also discussed their own program, but found some concerns. An issue, according to Lacey Township Administrator Veronica Laureigh, is the fact that big box stores will not participate, meaning a significant number of township businesses would not be included. Beyond that is the fact that, in the program Lacey researched, businesses that do participate are required to pay a monthly fee to the vendor as well as purchase software. Other towns, such as Toms River, do not have a program of this type. The chamber of commerce instead said a Shop Local campaign is there to urge locals support their local businesses. “Right now, Toms River Township does not partake in the tax credit program. It is something that we, as a chamber, are interested in, so perhaps in the future. We do have a Shop Local campaign which provides businesses with additional exposure via window clings for their storefronts,” said Noelle Lotano, executive director, Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce. For an example of the program, visit Buy In Brick at bricktownship.net/buy-in-brick.
would not normally consider driving all the way across town for a Council meeting,” Weiner told The Manchester Times. “If we try this out and we get more public involvement in our political process then we could consider doing these meetings more frequently however if we do not notice a difference in attendance we can just go back to having all meetings at Town Hall.” Councilmen James Vaccaro, Craig Wallis and Charles Frattini could not be reached by press time for comment. Whiting is an unincorporated section of Manchester Township, home to many senior citizen communities such as the Crestwoods. Manchester residents unable to attend Council meetings at Town Hall can share their opinion and concerns with Council via e-mail. Residents can write to council_mail@manchestertwp.com in favor or against meeting in Whiting several times a year. Council will meet 6 p.m. January 25 at the municipal building, One Colonial Drive.

Hurt On The Job Due To Snow And Ice?
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Stacie A. Brustman, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates With the weather we have encountered throughout this winter, many people may be wondering about their legal rights, should you be hurt on the job as a result of all of the snow and ice on the ground. First and foremost, should you be hurt as a result of, and during the course of, your employment, you remain entitled to the basic rights afforded by the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. This means, should you be in need of medical treatment as a result of your incident, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier is responsible to provide you with reasonable and necessary medical treatment to attempt to cure your injury. You should request this medical treatment from your employer. This may create a necessity that your employer contact its insurance carrier. Further, should your treating physician indicate that you are temporarily unable to work, or unable to work at full capacity, you may be entitled to temporary disability benefits. These would also be the responsibility of your employer through its insurance carrier. Keep in mind, you should not go out and seek medical treatment for these injuries from your own doctors. Your employer’s carrier is responsible to provide same, and has the opportunity to choose which doctors with whom you can treat. However, should treatment not be afforded to you, you may have the opportunity
to undergo treatment with a physician of your choosing. It is important that you are aware that there are procedures to insist that the workers’ compensation carrier provide you with the reasonable and necessary medical treatment and temporary disability benefits in place which may necessitate a Motion be filed before the Court. Furthermore, should you have permanent residuals from your injury; you may be entitled to permanency benefits as a result of your injury. It is necessary that you appear before the Workers’ Compensation Court to accept these benefits. This may also necessitate a trial before the Court. With all of that, you may have an action against the entity charged with the snow and ice removal that caused your injury. It is important that you determine who that entity is. Should the snow and ice removal be the responsibility of your employer, it is likely that the only action you have afforded to you is through the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. However, should the snow and ice removal be the responsibility of an independent entity, there may be an opportunity to take action against that entity, should it have been negligent in doing so. It is important to keep in mind, if there is an action and recovery against a separate entity for its negligence, your employer’s workers’ compensation carrier is entitled to a portion of what was paid to you and on your behalf to be returned to it.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Hanging On The Telephone Dear Joel I ended a relationship with a girl that I had been dating for several years. It started out as a nice relationship when we were both in college. Ever since I broke up with her she has been stalking me. She bombards me with texts, e-mails and phone calls. I keep on telling her to leave me alone but she continues to call. Can I hire a lawyer? Answer: You can always hire a lawyer. Finding someone to handle this case seems like a no brainer. Your letter leaves me perplexed. You don’t mention her following you to school or work. She doesn’t appear in restaurants or stores that you are in. Everything that you
included in her behavior has either a phone number or e mail address. The very fact that you haven’t changed either makes me feel that in someway you are inviting this behavior and perhaps subconsciously enjoying it. Making her go away is probably an easy fix if that’s what you really want. Take the time to analyze why you haven’t slammed the door on this one. It will be a lot cheaper than hiring an attorney who will probably give you the same advice. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566 “home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care .”
