Veterans Seek To Help, Honor Other Vets
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON—What moved him the most was seeing homeless veterans. Don O’Connell had to do something. Himself a Cold War U.S. Army veteran, O’Connell joined with other veterans and their supporters to create New Jersey Veterans Helping Veterans Nationwide, a nonprofit organization that seeks to help veterans and their family in myriad ways. He founded it back in 2011 and is executive director. “I found that so many organizations are not helping veterans on the local level, and that’s how we started, on the local level,” (Veterans - See Page 5)

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – “Relentless.” It’s the gym in Freehold where amateur MMA featherweight champion BJ Young does some training. It’s also his state of being. Ranked No. 1 in his class in New Jersey and No. 2 in the Northeast, Jackson native Young has a 6-0 record and three title belts, all accomplished in only 11 months. “Dominating.” (Champ - See Page 4)
Se�te��er 11 Cere�o�ies To Re�e��er Reside�ts Who Died I� Atta��s
By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – Though the towers of New York City were another state away, the impact was nonetheless felt incredibly close to home. More than a dozen local residents died in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, in the World Trade Center but also on United Flight 93. Many of their names can be found in local memorials to September 11. Some of the men and women, ranging in ages from 26 to 70, were residents at the time, while others grew up or graduated here. Their names, compiled from archive
news reports and September 11 sites, are reprinted here: Peter Paul Apollo, Waretown, World Trade Center, born 1974. John James Badagliacca, of Brick and Staten Island, World Trade Center, born 1966. Brett T. Bailey of Brick, World Trade Center, born 1973. Evan Jay Baron, formerly of Long Beach Island, World Trade Center, born 1964.

That’s the word trainer Matt Strout. co-founder of Relentless Fitness, used to describe Young. “He brings a lot to the game, both mentally and physically. He’s got a lot going on mentally, which is a huge aspect to the game. He’s very driven, motivated, fearless. He’s got ever ything it takes to become a champion,” Strout said. Little has changed since The Jackson Times i nter viewed You ng last yea r after he won his first fight in less than one minute. He’s still as laser focused, if not more so, training up to three times daily. He still wants that World Class Featherweight Championship. “I’ve dreamed of doing this since I was a young teen,” Young said. “I’m motivated to want to train, to win and to progress.” And he’s on his way. His three title belt s a re f rom Cage Fu r y Fig ht i ng Championships, Ring of Combat and Xtreme Caged Combat. He is the first MMA f ighter to hold all three belts simultaneously. (As an aside, fighters get to keep their belts.) “There’s not much left for me to do,” Young said, referring to his amateur fighting card. Being top ranked in the region, who is left to fight against at that level? He and his team are exploring professional options. “We are exploring a pro debut. We’re looking into a few pro organizations and see who has the best to offer for him,” Strout said. “I definitely think he had a strong run in the amateur show.” Young fought his most recent amateur fight with pro MMA rules—more rounds, longer rounds—which Strout called a “steppingstone” for his pro debut. Young is a 2010 Jackson Memorial
High School graduate. When not training at Relentless he’s at Elite Wrestling, where he’s been since he was 7 years old. Young successfully wrestled in high school and college, though never placed first. A shoulder injury his senior year of college that required two surgeries didn’t deter him from his MMA goals. Known as “The Rican Rebel,” he made his amateur fighting debut September 12 last year at Ring Of Combat AM 21 against Michael Lucia, and won in 55 seconds due to fighter submission. His last fight August 12 for XCC against William Dill ended with fighter submission in Round Two. Frankie Edgar, a UFC fighter out of Toms River, also trains Young. He’s someone Young has looked up to for years. He met You ng th rough Elite Wrestling and trains him there. Edgar himself is a fighter in the UFC and is waiting to hear about a fight at Madison Square Garden in November. “I think he’s doing great. He’s really seizing the opportunity. He’s with a really good team. He’s taking advantage of all his resources and he’s a hard worker,” Edgar said of Young. “I’m sure he’s going to turn pro soon. I don’t know if it’s going to be his next fight or the one after. The sky’s the limit for this kid, as long as hey keeps working hard, which he seems to do. He’s going to progress quickly.” “The reason I also liked him so much and looked up to him so much is because of how hard he always worked,” Young said of Edgar last year to The Jackson Times. “Everyone said about him, he was the hardest working guy they knew. He fought at a pace nobody could keep up with because of how hard he worked. Throughout my whole career of wrestling, and now fighting, I have my work ethic.” For more information about Young, visit facebook.com/bj.young.73.

O’Connell said. Today, people volunteer from Florida, Kansas, Illinois, and several other states. NJVHVN recently paid the monthly mortgage of a veteran unable to, and one veteran’s family’s electric bill. They are currently raising funds to provide service dogs to two Marine veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. But sometimes, NJVHVH simply offers a thanks. The day O’Connell met with The Jackson Times, he was visiting decorated Korean War Army veteran Ernest “Larry” St. Laurant at Sunrise of Jackson, an assisted living facility on County Line Road.

He received a certificate of appreciation from O’Connell, thanking him for his service to the country. “We’re up to 5,000 of these certificates that we’re giving out to fellow veterans, thanking them for their service,” O’Connell said. St. Laurant, 85, declined to be interviewed but did allow the photographer to get a picture of him receiving his certificate. “This man is an incredible man,” one worker said about St. Laurant. “He’s spoken to Congress. He’s been an avid speaker on behalf of the veterans for years. He’s been honored in parades. It’s amazing.” The Army started a program called Freedom Team Salute in 2005; that program offered certificates to honorably
discharged Army, National Guard and Reserve veterans, their families and supporters. The program delivered more than 2.3 million commendations but ceased operations in 2010. O’Connell said his group picked up where Freedom Team Salute left off. O’Connell became emotional talking about the help so many veterans need, needs that often go unmet. “These men and women have done so much for this country,” he said. “What started this, is started seeing a lot of homeless veterans. Then we found that some veterans were being thrown out of their houses because they were behind on their mortgages. We just decided something had to be done.” He has seen that many of them suffer from PTSD. According to statistics cited
by NJVHVN, 22 veterans commit suicide each day. That’s one reason the organization wants to raise money for a service dog. The Train A Dog Save A Warrior program specially trains dogs to work with PTSD affected veterans. “It’s the turmoil that they went through in combat, then coming home and having nobody recognize them or call them ‘baby killers,’” O’Connell said. “It’s our way as a veteran to say thank you, and that’s what we’re doing.” NJVHVN is a 501C3 organization that seeks to “assist disabled and needy veterans of the United States Armed Forces, their dependents, widows and orphans of deceased veterans, including present members of the United States Armed Forces.” For more information, visit njvhvn.org.

Editorial 15 Years, Never Forgotten This September 11 marks 15 years since the tragedy toppled towers and shook the nation, killing nearly 3,000 and injuring thousands others that day in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. Ocean County lost 19 of its residents in the attacks. In the immediate months after these deadly tragedies, residents clamored to find American flags and showed their patriotism in countless small and large ways. We pledged to Never Forget. We hung patriotic signs, supported or organized charity events for the victims. Our local emergency responders were among those who aided in rescue and clean-up. Others enlisted in military service in the War Against Terror, signing up to make the ultimate sacrifice. As months turned into years, the nation was no less removed from the impact of September 11th, whether the impact to the global economy or national security. The pieces of steel from the World Trade Center became local memorials found in the lobbies, vestibules and public gathering spaces of nearly every town. Those spots and others, such as the “Angel in
Anguish” sculpture at Windward Beach in Brick, each year host the commemoration and memorial observances that are held on the anniversary of the tragedy. In 2010, an area outside the Ocean County Freeholders building where several war memorials are installed, grew to include the installation of a piece of a steel girder from the World Trade Center which was added to the monument, laid upon a black base. The inscription reads: “World Trade Center Steel, presented to the citizens of Ocean County on the 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. With a heavy heart, America will forever remember.” Six more years have gone by since that inscription was made. Do we still remember as we did then, or 15 years ago? Remembering in your heart and with action can take so many forms. Wave the flag, attend a remembrance ceremony, help advocate for legislation that would help victims by contacting your legislators, or simply reflect on the fabric of the nation that has been woven along those 15 years. Now – and any day – is still a moment to Never Forget.

Letters To The Editor The “Loose Cannon” Candidate During his campaign Donald Trump has had plenty of chances to do (or say) stupid things and he’s taken full advantage of his opportunities. Here’s a man that said if elected president, he will deport twelve million aliens, punish women for having abortions, and will keep Juan, Jose and Carmelita out of the U.S. by building a wall on our southern border. I recall the French built a wall to keep the Germans out in WW II – how’d that work out? When is someone going to explain to Donald that ignorance is not virtue? More often than not, his prejudice clouds and darkens every sentence, every paragraph of his rhetoric. With Mr. Trump, it’s always winter but never Christmas. You’d think by now even those with limited intellectual resources would be able to connect the dots. Not only does the “loose cannon” candidate becoming president scare the bejesus out of most rational human beings, some Republicans harbor a suspicion that Trump is really a RINO! To the far-right crowd, that’s worse than being HIV -positive, a homosexual or a practicing Muslim with a black wife with a union card on welfare. To paraphrase the late H.L. Mencken, on some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach
their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright insufferable dullard. When you look at the alternative, however, is the other choice really any better? Borden Applegate Jackson
Draft Dodging And Lies I am an 89 year old (almost 90) U.S. Navy veteran of W W I I who proud ly served in the South Pacific, along with many, many others. We had no draft dodgers in our crew. Bill Clinton is a draft-dodger (Vietnam era) who on August 8, 1974, in speaking of President Nixon said: “Any president who lies to the American public should resign.” Bill Clinton lied and did not resign, but married Hillary Rodham Clinton, the lying and very untrustworthy person running for President of the United States. They match very well and Democrats support these lying cowards. I’m glad we did not have a Draf t-Dodging Commander in Chief during W W I I, a nd t hose t h at support Hillary the liar, should not thank veterans for their service, because they would be hypocritical liars, just like Bill and Hillary. Veterans and draft dodgers don’t match. Yet veterans served to protect draft dodgers. Thomas Little Whiting

A Boon To The State? More Like A Looming Disaster
Trenton politicians are busy making the case for why New Jersey residents should vote this fall to allow casino expansion into North Jersey. One thing they are leaving out of their pitch is how these casinos would create a traffic disaster at a time when our state simply cannot handle it. If the most optimistic reports are to be believed, casinos in North Jersey would bring tens of thousands of people each day. One of the proposed locations for a casino is the Meadowlands – already one of the most congested areas for traffic in the country – where visitors would share the road with Giants and Jets fans in the fall and concertgoers throughout the year. This could be a deadly combination considering that a 2010 study found “a strong link between the presence of a casino in a county and the number of alcohol-related traffic accidents.” For any of us that have to make the trip up to New York City every day, we know that means longer commute times and less time with our families. So even though they can’t build a casino in Ocean County, we will still feel the impact from the increase in traffic up north. The American Dream, of course, should do nothing to ease concerns. Billed as one of the largest entertainment complexes in the U.S., construction broke ground in 2004. But traffic delays caused by the development became so bad that in 2012 the Jets and Giants filed a lawsuit against its developer, and today, nearly 12 years later, the site remains under construction, underscoring just how unpredictable massive projects like this can be. People coming to a casino in the Meadowlands would also be crowded onto the already-clogged New Jersey
Turnpike and Route 17, as well as Route 3 – one of the main feeders of the more than 100,000 cars that go through the Lincoln Tunnel every day. The expanded traffic will cause highways, already in poor repair, to endure further wear-andtear, leading to even more congestion and more traffic issues for New Jersey commuters. And yet perhaps the most troubling part of this situation is the state of New Jersey’s Transportation Trust Fund, which ordinarily would be called upon to repair such roads. Currently, the fund is nearly depleted, and with the five-year funding program expiring this summer, Governor Christie recently declared a state of emergency, proclaiming that all “nonessential transportation projects” would be delayed. Proponents of expansion contend the traffic issues these casinos would bring would be handled accordingly. But similar claims were made prior to the Super Bowl – the last time major transportation worries were expressed – and that night ended with more than 30,000 fans facing hourslong delays on public transportation, chanting “Jersey Sucks.” To avoid similar outcomes in the future, New Jersey voters should reject the ballot initiative expanding casino gambling this fall. Doing so will allow Trenton to focus on solving the traffic problems we already have. Stu Weiser Jackson

Drivers Cautioned To Watch For Children As Buses And Walkers Gear Up For Back To School
OCEA N COU N T Y – Fleets of school buses are back on the road as Ocean County’s schools are in session again. “Each September we remind motorists to be cautious of not only school buses loading and unloading children, but also of the thousands of children that walk and bicycle to school,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. “Whether students take the bus, walk, ride a bicycle or are driven to school by their parents, there are safety rules ev-
eryone must follow,” he said. But safe driving begins before the car even reaches the street, he said. “Even while backing out of your driveway you may encounter inattentive students walking or biking to school,” Vicari, a lifelong educator, said. Drivers must also be extra alert for lower speed limits near schools. “Crossing guards will be protecting children, but it’s up to all of us as drivers to slow down and watch for kids in the roadway,”
Vicari said. When approaching any intersection, pedestrian crossing or school zone, be alert, cover the brake and be ready to stop. “Take a hard look,” Vicari said. “Look, and then look again, for the child hidden by parked cars, shrubbery or high grass, trees, or poles. Even mailboxes can obscure a child, if only for a moment.” Watch for the “darting child” who runs into the roadway chasing a ball or some other object, he said. He also urged students
to use extra caution and carefully check for any moving traffic when they exit a school bus. “Never trust a vehicle to stop just because the bus is flashing its red warning lights. Always look both ways before crossing the street after stepping out of the school bus,” Vicari said. Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, reminded drivers that they must stop for school buses load i ng a nd u n load i ng children. “State law requires driv-
ers to stop at least 25 feet f rom a stopped school bus with its red lig hts f lashing,” he said. “If a driver does not stop, the bus driver will report your license plate number and a summons will be mailed to the offending driver.” Kelly, who is also Director of Law and Public Safety, said children walking to school should always follow the same route and avoid short cuts. “Parents should walk with their children at least once at the start of school so they know the route and
Freeholder Joseph Vicari approximately how long it takes to travel to and from school,” he said. For children who ride their bikes to school, state law requires anyone under the age of 17 to wear an approved safety helmet while on a bike, Kelly said. Kelly also asked that both children and motorists pay attention to their surroundings and not be distracted by cell phones while driving or walking.
OC Asks For Release Of 911 System & Emergency Response Fees OCEAN COUNTY – With more than 320,000 calls answered annually by Ocean County’s Sheriff Department 911 public safety dispatchers, officials are calling upon the state to release funds collected since 2009 from telecommunication surcharges earmarked for the 911 service. “Since 2009, the state of New Jersey has failed to provide funding for eligible expenses to local 911 centers operated by counties and municipalities across the state,” said Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy. “Instead, this funding has been diverted for ineligible expenses such as funding for the state’s Department of Law and Public Safety.” “These funds should be coming back to the counties where they can be used for technology upgrades and staffing,” Mastronardy said. “911 is a key service to our citizens. In many instances it is a crucial lifeline. The state should be investing in it as outlined by federal regulations.” Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as director of Law and Public Safety, noted the county has consistently
provided funds to upgrade the 911 dispatch center. “The Board of Freeholders is well aware of how important this service is to the residents of Ocean County,” Kelly said. “These funds would be a big help in making certain our residents are well served.” Ocean County’s emergency dispatching 911 operations were relocated in 2013 into a new home with room to meet future needs of the county and state-of-the-art equipment. “Despite the lack of funding from the state, this board and our sheriff all recognize the great importance of this service and continue to make the necessary investments to keep pace with technology while the state redirects the money earmarked especially for this elsewhere,” Kelly said. With its continued population growth in Ocean County along with its ongoing popularity in warm weather doubling its population, the county continues to update and enhance the operations of this vital service. Work on expanding the 911 dispatching center, which moved to an existing warehouse on Chestnut Street,
got under way in late 2012 and the expansion completed in 2013, provided over 16,000 square feet for a new enlarged 911 center. The expanded call center has 13 state-of-the-art police and 13 fire dispatch consoles and a total of 25 stations. The new center was built with an eye toward more population growth. Under the plan, the county has the ability to further expand by at least 25 percent. “We provided new consoles and recently had all new dispatch software installed,” Kelly said. In addition, Sheriff Mastronardy installed a new digital switch allowing for text messages to 911. “We took care of it because it’s important to public safety in our county; yet, the state again has failed to provide the funding.” Kelly said. He noted the steps taken by the county are part of the first phase of improvements to the service. The 911 operation, which is overseen by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department, with the ongoing support of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, dispatches for 40 fire departments, 32 emergency
first aid squads and 12 police agencies in the county. According to county officials, New Jersey annually collects from consumers about $120 million in telecommunication surcharges and deposits the money into the 911 System and Emergency Trust Fund. “The state of New Jersey
has collected over $1.25 billion in fees since 2006 with only 11 percent of the money being spent on eligible expenses,” Mastronardy said. Mastronardy’s request to the freeholders to pass a resolution asking the Governor and State Legislature properly allocate 911 System and Emergency Trust Fund
Account monies to county and municipal 911 centers as required under federal law was approved. “The state should comply with federal law and restore this money so it can be used to operate, maintain and construct effective, efficient and contemporary 911 systems,” Kelly said.

Protect Jackson’s Open Space With The Path�inders JACKSON – Jackson Pathfinders is a group of volunteers whose goals are to preserve open spaces in Jackson, wherever possible, to maintain existing trails in the township’s parks and to contribute to a network of land preservation efforts throughout the country. To achieve these goals, Pathfinders have begun to identify, map, mark and maintain trails for walking, hiking, jogging, bicycling and equestrian activities on public– and where permitted– private land. The group’s vision is to encourage pride in the community and to gain public support for preserving open space for future generations. Pathfinders is supported by the Jackson
Town Council and operate under the direction of the Jackson Recreation Department and work closely with the Town Council in discussing future land acquisitions. Pathfinders is also the community advocacy group for the Forest Resource Education Center and has worked with the Jackson Environmental Commission. Meetings are open to the public and held the third Thursday of the month. Meetings are 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the township municipal building, main room (or sometimes in the employee lounge/conf room). Monthly meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. at the Jackson Municipal Building, on September 15, October 20 and November 17.
Help The Environment By Shredding Documents
JACKSON – OceanFirst Bank will host Shred Days, where members of the community have the chance to dispose of their confidential information and contribute to the environment at the same time. The event is the Jackson branch, located at 260 North County Line Road, on September 17 from 9 to 11 a.m. Shred trucks have a weight limit of five boxes per person and not only destroy
statements and documents, but also use the shredded materials for future use at paper mills. Recycling one ton of paper can save over 15 trees, more than three cubic yards of landfill space, 350 gallons of water and 100 gallons of gasoline. Take note that any cardboard brought to the event cannot be mixed into the shred trucks and must be taken home for proper recycling and disposal.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Tips For Understanding Hearing Loss And Hearing Aids The more loss you have, the less effective the hearing aids will be. Hearing aids cannot bring back hearing that is gone. In the past, physicians have told patients that if you have “nerve damage,” it cannot be helped with hearing aids. On the contrary, most people who are successfully wearing hearing aids have nerve damage or what we refer to as “sensorineural” hearing loss. Everyone does not get the same amount of benefit from hearing aids. It depends on your loss and particular situation. The more background noise that is present, the harder it will be to hear. Even normal hearing people hear less as the background noise increases. The better the hearing aid, the better you can expect to do. In quiet situations, many hearing
aid wearers can expect near normal hearing. Hearing aids should allow you to hear speech more clearly with less effort. Hearing aids should help to prevent others from noticing your hearing loss. Hearing aids should help to put you back in touch with your family and social activities. It is important to remember all hearing losses are different and the benefits you received from your hearing aid may be different from others. A hearing aid is less conspicuous than your hearing loss. If you suspect that you have hearing loss, the first step is to get professional evaluation from an audiologist. Getting realistic expectations from the evaluation can help you decide to move forward. Take that first step. Hearing aid technology has never been better.
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.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Prescription Medications That Make You Anxious By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
You wake up at 4 a.m. feeling tired, but wired and you keep twirling some person or event in your head, never going back to sleep. Something bad is going to happen today and you just k now it! Your chest pounds and you feel dread when you think about going to that event or speaking to a certain someone. These are the symptoms of anxiety, and some of you live with this every day, several times a day. Ruminating in a state of fear, panic or anxiety can cause other symptoms in your body that over time, wear your adrenals out and lead to severe insomnia, depression and high blood pressure. Stress can also cause ulcers. There’s a difference between an anxiety or panic attack and generalized anxiety disorder or GAD. The difference is one is finite and quick and the other is constant. GAD sufferers often expect the worse, when there’s no real reason for concern or they may fret about health, money, family or work issues. When you find that these intrusive thoughts are occupying much of your day, it’s time to do something about it. As a pharmacist, I bet you think that I’m going to recommend a tranquilizer, but I’m not. That is the worst, possibly thing you could do and I rarely recommend drug treatment for this. In fact, I hold the opposite belief. I actually want you to consider the fact that a medication you take is causing the anxiety and changes in your mood. For almost 7 million folks with GAD, it’s
very possible that most of them are taking a medication that induces anxiety. Here’s the list of some of the worst possible offenders, you are going to be stunned. If you take any of these, speak to your doctor because you will need to find a suitable alternative or follow very careful tapering instructions. Stopping suddenly could be a disaster. Here goes: Tranquilizers. Shocker isn’t it?! The medicine you may be taking to relax can actually lead to anxiety and panic attacks. According to a 1995 study, it was known that in almost half the patients seeking advice for anxiety, panic and phobias, the cause was either alcohol or benzodiazepine drugs like clonazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam and others. The mechanism is complicated, but it’s due to a rebound arousal. Getting off these drugs is a nightmare, so I’d say don’t even start. Allergy medicines. It’s in the pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant. This is a stimulant and can cause you to feel anxious. Sleeping medicine. It’s hard to believe but these drugs don’t put you into a restful, natural sleep. Oftentimes, they steal your REM sleep, and so over time you actually become sleep-deprived. Anxiety sets in. Asthma inhalers. The albuterol in these medications is the offender, it’s great to help open up breathing passageways, but it causes a person to feel stressed and hyperactive. For a more comprehensive list of medication categories that spark anxiety, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

businesses will be in a much better position to survive a natural disaster or terror attack. The longer your business is not operati ng, the more li kely you are to lose customers per manently to your competitors. The New Jersey Business Action Center helps business owners focus on “emergency preparedness” so they can possess the capability to respond to save lives, proper t y and ret u r n to nor mal operations af ter a disaster occurs. Because up to 40 percent of small businesses never re-open following a disaster, here are f ive recommended st rategies to help small busi nesses prepare – and survive – the worst: House documents on the cloud, not your office computer: Most businesses keep on-site records and files that are essential to normal operations. To reduce your vulnerability, deter mine which records, files, and materials are most important and back them up. These may include income tax forms, QuickBooks files, customer contact lists, strategy documents and passwords. From there, save these files on the cloud using an affordable service like Dropbox, Google Docs or Box so you can access them from anywhere. Keep office property secure: Raise computers above the f lood level and move them away from large windows; move heavy and fragile objects to low shelves, and secure equipment that could move or fall during an earthquake. In addition, hire a cyber security expert to make sure your systems are secure and virus free. Protect your most important documents, credit card numbers, email correspondence and more by hiring an expert to set up a secure system well in advance.
Plan for business continuity: Establish a clear plan for decision-making if the business owner is incapacitated. Ensure passwords as well as keys, alarm codes, phone forwarding, etc., are provided to trusted employees in the event of a disaster. Consider financial obligations you will have during interruption, such as payroll and debt service, and ensure a system is in place to pay bills electronically. Establish a social media presence for your business (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter), and use the social media tools to communicated with your customers about your business’ status. Make sure your insurance is current: Review your insurance coverage with a n agent or you r i nsu ra nce center; specifically check the status of your business’s inter r uption insurance. If disaster occurs, you can file a business interruption insurance claim detailing lost income and steps required before the business can reopen. For insurance and tax purposes, be sure to maintain written and photographic inventories of all important materials and equipment – and store in a safety deposit box if possible. Consider installing an emergency generator: Power outages are commonplace during disasters, and they may last for several days. As a result, even businesses that are not severely damaged can suffer losses because of the interruption of normal operations or the loss of perishable stock. You can reduce these losses and speed the recovery process by installing an emergency generator in advance. Although we can’t prevent man-made or natural disasters, business owners can take proactive measures to minimize disruption and reduce loss so you can return to normal operations as soon as possible. Don Newman Director Of Small Business Advocacy NJ Business Action Center

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Seek Some Help To Work Out The Differences
Dear Joel, I have an issue that I haven’t been able to discuss with anyone else and decided to write to your column. About two years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. As you can imagine it was a frightening experience and all things considered I am doing well. I did undergo many forms of treatment which changed some of my sensations, gait and certainly outlook on life. The good news is that I have been cancer free. I am celebrating a new sense of health that I didn’t appreciate before this happened. Here is my problem. My husband was always a very physical man. Since my illness, I have no appetite for sex and fi nd him very insensitive. There has been a lot of tension in our home and I would like your opinion as to who is right and who is wrong. Answer: First of all thank you for writing. I must start by saying that although many people think that I am a physician. That is not the case. That being said, working in home health care for as long as I have, I hear
many personal stories. Your situation is not unique. There are many reasons why couples drift apart sexually, even when illness has not been an issue in the relationship. Your last sentence of “who is right in this situation” is an interesting one. I am less concerned about who is right and more concerned with helping you as there really isn’t a right or wrong. Although, I can’t be certain, my guess is that the two of you will not be able to work this out by yourselves. I suggest seeking a marriage counselor, sex therapist or other mental health professional. The answer may be right in front of you but neither of you knowing how to find it by yourselves. I wish you good health and truly hope that you can work through your differences Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM
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.”

Donate Cell Phones For Soldiers
OCEAN COUNTY – Donate your used cell phone and help out a worthy cause. Nancy Seibert has been collecting for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with the Berkeley based “Support the Troops” project and Lloyd Mullikin, who has been sending packages overseas since 2004. Over the past six years these projects have worked closely together collecting phones, and mailing packages which include the calling cards to our troops overseas. Cell phones are collected in any condition and sent to a recycler. The profits from the recycling are sent to the organization headquarters in Massachusetts to purchase 60-minute calling
cards for our troops overseas so that they may keep in contact with their families during their deployment. To date, there have been over 15,000 phones collected and over 54,000 free 60-minute calling cards donated through these efforts to date. There are various drop sites throughout the area so that donors can drop their phones in them. The group is also accepting names of soldiers serving overseas to send them calling cards. Provide their name, rank, and military mailing address to mail them a package along with the calling cards. For more information, contact Nancy Seibert, project coordinator at 732-606-6040.

Inside The Law Injured at Work? Know Your Rights to Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
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 Christopher R. Shea Esq. Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate 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.
Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Business Profile By Robert D. Verderese Those who want an alternative to the talk show format need not look any further. Tune in to “Preferred Company” with Joel Markel, President and owner of “Preferred Home Health Care” and his co-host, M ar ianne Lev y, airing 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, on WOBM-AM (1160 and 1310). Chock-full of fun and friendly talk, along with game shows, trivia contests, nostalgia and celebrity inter views, “Preferred Company” is the perfect blend of good conversation and entertainment that is sure to please. While there are many dimensions to “ Pre ferred Company,” the one that listeners are immediately struck by is the wonderful chemistry between Joel and Marianne: “It’s like we can read each other’s minds,” Marianne says. Moreover, when you li ste n to “ Pr efe r r e d C o m p a ny,” you cannot miss the spec i a l c o nn e c tion that Joel and Marianne have: “ There really is a comfort and lightness between us that allows us to bring out the best in one another,” Joel adds. So what is it besides “good chemistry” between Joel and Marianne that makes “Preferred Company” stand out from the crowd? Well, for starters, the show’s format is almost entirely unscripted: “ We don’t know what we’re going to talk about five minutes before the show goes on the air,” Marianne
STAKES ARE HIGH
admits. For some in the radio business, the idea to do a show with no script would be a frightening prospect, but at “Preferred Company,” it is the only way to do a radio show. For instance, Joel desc r ibes the unique ness of the show in the following way: “What makes our show special is how natural the format is—it’s like we’re having coffee with you at a restaurant where any subject can be discussed at any time.” To be sure, “Preferred Company” distinguishes itself from many radio shows in that it is consistently interactive by way of phone calls and emails. Unlike many other talk shows that rarely, if ever, take phone calls or respond to emails, “Preferred Company” considers interacting with their audience as an essential part of the program.

People f rom all around the world listen to Joel and Marianne via this App: “We love “Radiopup” and how it allows us to connect with people from all types of backgrounds. It really gives our show another level of c onnectivit y — it ’s wonderful!” says Marianne. Speaking of wonderful, let’s not forget about Joel’s lovable puppy Oliver and Marianne’s “favorite,” Norman: “I love dogs and love to share dog stories with our listeners,” says Marianne. Discussing everything from the smar test

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Showcase: Classic Soup Features Smorgasbord Of Veggies By Wolfgang Puck
Anyone who knows me, has eaten in my restaurants or reads my cookbooks probably knows how much I love vegetable soup. After all, I grew up in a small house with a big garden, the harvest from which helped my mother and grandmother feed our family of six every day. Often, that meant adding generous bowlfuls of freshly cut up vegetables into a big pot simmering away on our stovetop. We lived in Austria, not far from the Italian border. So it’s not surprising that one of my favorite home-cooked meals featured some version or other of the classic Italian soup called minestrone. And I say “some version or other” for a good reason. The word “minestrone” literally means “that which is served,” meaning that the soup is really whatever results from what a home cook might find in the garden, the pantry or the refrigerator. In other words, minestrone can vary greatly not only with the seasons but with the personality and style of the person cooking it as well as with the occasion itself. Every home and restaurant cook has his or her own version, and I know of many cooks - myself included - who almost never make minestrone exactly the same way twice. So I’d like to offer you a recipe for the version of the soup that I think works perfectly in late summer. It abounds with some of the produce you’re likely to find in farmers’ markets or pick from your own vegetable garden, including fresh shell beans such as kidney beans, green beans and yellow wax beans. But I’d like to emphasize that you should feel free to follow this recipe only as a basic blueprint. You can add diced zucchini or other thin-skinned summer squash, for example, if that’s what you have a bounty of in your garden, substituting them for the fresh beans if you like. Or add more tomatoes for a brighter red, sweeter tasting soup; or use yellow onion instead of the leek. Just be sure to start cooking firmer-textured vegetables earlier and add quick-cooking ones later in the process, so everything will be cooked to the right tender-but-firm consistency. You can also feel free to leave out the few slices of prosciutto, which I add for the hint of rich, meaty flavor they contribute, if you’d like a vegetarian soup. Whatever selections you include, you’ll find this yields a robust soup so satisfying that you could make a meal of it, which is why I also include instructions for making Parmesan-topped, oven-baked toasts to serve alongside. So please try your own version of minestrone soon and enjoy the best of the season. HEARTY VEGETABLE MINESTRONE WITH PARMESAN TOASTS Serves 6 For the minestrone: 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for seasoning and serving 1 1/2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, thoroughly rinsed and cut crosswise into thin slices
1 large fennel bulb, tops trimmed and reserved for garnish, bulb coarsely chopped 4 thin slices prosciutto, coarsely chopped (optional) 2 stalks celery, diced 1/2 cup (125 mL) shelled fresh kidney beans or other fresh shell beans 1 large tomato, seeded and diced 2 rounded teaspoons minced garlic 1 small sprig fresh rosemary, cut in half 2 quarts (2 L) good-quality canned vegetable stock or chicken stock 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned tomato sauce 1 cup (250 mL) diced firm, mild-tasting mushrooms such as shimeji, trumpet, cremini, or regular cultivated mushrooms Kosher salt 2/3 cup (165 mL) uncooked small dried pasta tubes, such as elbow macaroni or tubetti 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green beans, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 1/2 cup chopped yellow wax beans, cut into 1/2inch (12-mm) pieces 1 tablespoon honey Freshly ground black pepper 3 large sprigs fresh basil, plus extra small sprigs for garnish For the Parmesan toasts: 6 thin slices whole-grain bread 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling For the minestrone, heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and fennel and saute, stirring frequently, until they just begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the prosciutto, celery, kidney beans, tomato, garlic, and half the rosemary. Saute 5 minutes longer. Stir in the stock, tomato sauce and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in another pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time, then drain. While the soup continues cooking, make the Parmesan Toasts. Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Place the bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with the Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until the bread is well toasted and the cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the green and yellow beans to the soup. Season with salt. Stir in the honey. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 30 minutes total simmering time. Stir in the drained pasta. Season with pepper. Add the basil and remaining rosemary piece. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer for a few minutes more. Remove the herb sprigs. Ladle the soup into heated bowls and garnish with fresh basil sprigs or other herb blossoms. Drizzle with olive oil. Serve with Parmesan toasts.
