Reformed Church Home earns U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Home rating

PHOTO COURTESY OF REFORMED CHURCH HOME

Reformed Church Home has been named one of the Best Nursing Homes for 2020-21 by U.S. News & World Report.

eformed Church Home (RCH) announced that the skilled nursing center has been named one of the Best Nursing Homes for 2020-21 by U.S. News & World Report, a nationally recognized publication that annually evaluates and rates health care providers across the country. RCH, located in Old Bridge, was awarded the highest rating of “High-Performing” in both the Long-Term Care and the Short-Term Rehabilitation categories. According to the publication, only 21% of the nation’s nursing homes earned at least one recognition, according to information provided by RCH. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those facilities that satisfy the publication’s assessment of the appropriate use of key services and consistent performance in quality measures. “We are extremely proud of the work our entire team has accomplished to achieve this recognition, especially this year in light of the added challenges brought on by the pandemic,” Kate Shepard, executive director of RCH, said in the statement. “We strive to give our residents the quality of life and level of dignity they deserve while keeping them safe, which

the U.S. News award acknowledges.” Now in its 11th year, the U.S. News Best Nursing Homes coverage offers comprehensive information about care, safety, health inspections, staffing and more for nearly all of the nation’s 15,000-plus nursing homes. The ratings reflect exclusive analysis of publicly available data using a methodology defined by U.S. News, which evaluates factors that it has determined most greatly impact patient and resident care, safety and outcomes. This year, nursing home profile pages were updated to include a patient safety summary reflecting COVID-19 data alongside other measurements of safety and related advice on how to choose a facility during the current pandemic, according to the statement. “U.S. News strives to provide access to information that allows consumers to make educated decisions on all types of care,” Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News, said in the statement. The Long-Term Care Rating aims to provide families and prospective nursing home residents with information regarding the quality of daily care provided by nursing homes. This includes analysis of

Marijuana group says legalization question has been approved by N.J. voters

n organization that advocates for the legalization of marijuana is asserting New Jersey voters approved a public question in the Nov. 3 election which calls for amending the state constitution to accommodate the adult use possession, production and sale of marijuana to individuals age 21 or older. “Adult use” marijuana is also referred to as “recreational use” marijuana. In a press release issued shortly after polls closed on Nov. 3, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) said Garden State voters had passed the question. The result of the election is not official, as additional mail-in ballots and provisional ballots remain to be counted. The result will not be official until it is certified and at this time it is not known when certification will occur.

NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri was quoted in the press release as saying, “Garden State voters spoke resoundingly. They are demanding their lawmakers end the failed policy of marijuana criminalization and instead pursue a more sensible path of regulation and legalization. “Law enforcement in New Jersey arrests more citizens each year for minor marijuana violations than almost any other state in the nation. “By moving to end this fiscally wasteful and morally repugnant policy, state officials will now be able to prioritize law enforcement resources toward combating more serious criminal activities, better respect the personal freedom and civil liberties of their citizens, end the racist application of marijuana prohibition laws against communities of color, and direct new tax

revenues toward important social programs such as education and infrastructure development,” Altieri said. Carly Wolf, NORML’s state policies coordinator, said, “Because the public question is a non-binding, legislatively referred ballot question, the New Jersey Legislature must now take immediate action to draft and implement enabling legislation in a manner that is in accordance with voters’ sentiments. “Their first priority should be bringing about an end to the tens of thousands of low-level marijuana possession arrests that occur each year in New Jersey. Once this is accomplished, they should then expeditiously move forward to meet voters’ second demand, which is to initiate regulations to license and oversee the commercial cannabis market in New Jersey,” Wolf said.

In response to the apparent passage of the public question, State Sen. Nick Scutari (D-Middlesex, Somerset, Union) said, “What began as a mission to bring reform to our criminal justice system and progress to New Jersey has finally become an inescapable reality for my colleagues in the Legislature. “Credit is due entirely to voters in this state who, after weighing the apprehension expressed by some politicians, courageously declared our society is ready for a regulated and safe cannabis industry in New Jersey. “As the prime sponsor of this legislation, it has been my honor to shepherd this effort through several administrations of five governors over 17 years. “Along with Gov. Phil Murphy, Senate (Continued on page 6)

Executive Order protects workers during pandemic

ov. Phil Murphy has signed Executive Order No. 192 which he said will provide mandatory health and safety standards to protect all of New Jersey’s workers at work during the ongoing 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Murphy signed the order on Oct. 28, according to a press release from his office. A representative of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association took issue with certain aspects of the order shortly after Murphy’s action was announced. “Since the start of the pandemic, New Jersey workers across all sectors have risen to the challenges imposed by COVID-19,” Murphy was quoted as saying in the press release. “Yet, the federal government has failed to provide all workers the proper standards and protections they deserve. Today’s executive order closes that gap to help ensure the health and safety of our workforce during this unprecedented time,” the governor said. “With today’s action, New Jersey becomes the only state to leverage its public sector-only jurisdiction to protect workers in the private sector from COVID-19. We now have the essential tools and resources we need to ensure businesses are operating safely, and our economy is moving forward,” Labor Commissioner Robert AsaroAngelo said. “By protecting New Jerseyans in the workplace, we are lessening the health risks to families and communities. As more people return to work, the high standards we have set today will be critical in maintaining our public health,” Asaro-Angelo said. Executive Order No. 192 mandates that as of 6 a.m. Nov. 5, all employers, at minimum, must require individuals at a worksite to maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others to the maximum extent possible and require employees and visitors to wear masks when entering the worksite, subject to certain limited exceptions, according to the press release. Other protocols require employers to: • Provide approved sanitization materials to employees and visitors at no cost to those individuals; • Ensure that employees practice hand hygiene and provide sufficient break time for that purpose; • Routinely clean and disinfect all high-

touch areas in accordance with Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines; • Conduct daily health checks, such as temperature screenings, visual symptom checking, self-assessment checklists, and/ or health questionnaires, prior to each shift, consistent with CDC guidance; • Exclude sick employees from the workplace and follow requirements of applicable leave laws; • Promptly notify employees of any known exposure to COVID-19 at the worksite. New Jersey Business and Industry Association President and CEO Michele Siekerka responded to Executive Order No. 192 by saying, “While we have always shared Gov. Murphy’s priority to establish workplaces that follow federal safety guidelines, today’s directive again makes New Jersey an outlier in terms of mandates – without any balance whatsoever for the concerns of employers. “Our policymakers must strike a better balance toward trying to help our employers by prioritizing legislation for liability protections supporting those businesses that are doing the right thing already – in addition to bringing them more sorely needed resources. “Sadly, we heard no such balance from Gov. Murphy today. We only heard about applying more financial burdens on the same job creators who simultaneously have many of the greatest capacity restrictions in the nation,” she said. “Further, most businesses already have protective safeguards in place and are critically concerned about safeguarding their workforce and their workplaces. “Mechanisms already exist to call out bad actors and hold them accountable. There is no need to now mandate additional costs on the good actors through unnecessary policy. “We once again urge Gov. Murphy and our policymakers to put a pause on any further mandates, recognizing that New Jersey’s business climate was already consistently ranked among the worst in the nation pre-COVID because of the excessive cost of doing business. Further mandates only exacerbate that,” Siekerka said.

ov. Phil Murphy and New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli have announced the state’s COVID-19 vaccination plan, which they said is designed to provide equitable access to approved vaccines, achieve maximum community protection and build public trust in advance of an approved vaccine “The strategic and efficient deployment of a vaccine will be critical to our continued fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and is a key tool in our recovery,” Murphy was quoted as saying in a press release. “While we will welcome one or more COVID-19 vaccines, we are not going to simply rush forward. We will be as methodical and deliberate in our approaches to a vaccination plan as we have been in every aspect of our responses over the past eight months,” the governor said. “The department’s vaccine plan is expected to evolve over time as more details about vaccine availability, timelines, distribution, funding resources and supplies are released,” Persichilli was quoted as saying in the press release. “Our aspirational goal for a widescale vaccination program for New Jersey is to vaccinate 70% of the adult population in a six-month period. The department will follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance on prioritization and further allocation decisions will be made through a health equity lens,” she said. New Jersey submitted its draft COVID-19 vaccination plan to the CDC on Oct. 16. The plan calls for an all-ofgovernment approach to a wide-scale vaccination program, according to the press release. “To date, there is no globally approved COVID-19 vaccine. However, there is an expectation a vaccine will become available either by the end of the year or the first quarter of next year under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) pre-approval,” Persichilli said. An EUA allows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to facilitate the

availability of unapproved medical product to be used to prevent serious or life-threatening diseases when there are no adequate, approved and available alternatives, according to the press release. The FDA may issue an emergency use authorization for one or more COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021. Several vaccines are in Phase 3 clinical trials. Some of the vaccines will require a two-dose regimen, 21 to 28 days apart, according to the press release. The initial allotment of vaccine to states is expected to be limited. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to the CDC has drafted recommendations for the first phase of the vaccination effort, prioritizing health care workers who have the potential for direct exposure and essential workers and individuals at risk, including those 65 and older. It will be up to states to determine the final allocation, according to the press release. The Department of Health has been working to ensure an equitable widescale vaccination program since July and established the New Jersey Department of Heath COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force with nine teams. The task force is chaired by Dr. David Adinaro, deputy commissioner for public health services. “While this is a statewide coordinated plan, it will be implemented locally and so the task force is focused on working collaboratively with local and county health departments and numerous other partners in this process,” Adinaro said. “This effort will help ensure all voices are heard in developing and implementing this program.” Information about COVID-19 and the vaccines currently in development is still evolving and the Department of Health will continue to release information as it becomes available, according to the press release. The department’s COVID-19 vaccination plan has been partly informed by New Jersey’s experience with pandemic influenza vaccination during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, according to the press release.

Do you have vascular disease and not know it? Get screened today. Monmouth Heart and Vascular is offering an arterial screening event at our Eatontown office to help determine if you have, or may be at risk for, underlying vascular disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, and the disease that causes it, atherosclerotic disease (hardening of the arteries), also can cause stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and aneurysm formation. These vascular diseases are often termed silent killers, as people often remain asymptomatic until the disease has advanced. However, screening for vascular diseases that affect the peripheral blood vessels outside the heart can be easily accomplished by non-invasive means, allowing for medical care that may prevent disease progression. The tests are non-invasive, painless, and simple to administer. Vascular ultrasound techniques and blood pressure measurements can be used to evaluate the carotid arteries, peripheral blood vessels, and the abdominal aorta to determine if any disease is present.

Risk Factors for Vascular Disease include: • • • • •

Smoking • High Cholesterol Diabetes • High Blood Pressure Age > 55 • Obesity Sedentary Lifestyle Family History of Vascular or Heart Disease

If you have or know anyone with these risk factors, we are offering arterial screenings at a minimal cost at our ofﬁce.

* Please note that COVID-19 precautions will take place at the event including social distancing, required mask wearing for all, and proper sanitizing between participants. Thank you for keeping our community safe and healthy!

Jamie Lee Curtis By Ali Datko, ReMIND Magazine

ward-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis has propelled herself successfully through many different phases of stardom. Born Nov. 22, 1958, to actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, she grew up in Los Angeles under the shadow of her parents’ already established fame. In 1978, Curtis got her big break, establishing herself as an actress in her own right. Her first role was that of Laurie Strode, the recurring protagonist of the now-classic Halloween horror film series. Halloween launched her into a public, albeit very niche arena. From 1978 until the mid ’80s, her continued prominence in popular horror releases like The Fog, Prom Night and Terror Train won her the unofficial title of Hollywood’s No. 1 “scream queen.” In Halloween, Curtis’ character narrowly escapes the grasp of the now-infamous killer Michael Myers,

who leaves behind a deadly trail of victims wherever

he goes. The film holds lasting significance because it pioneered the “final girl” trope, in which a single female character remains alive to confront the villain. In effect, Curtis was the first heroine of the slasher film genre. In the mid ’80s, Curtis turned her attention to comedies such as A Fish Called Wanda and Trading Places. In 1994, she won a Golden Globe for her role in True Lies opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, and in 2003 she starred with Lindsay Lohan in Disney’s Freaky Friday. The multitalented Curtis also has appeared in a slew of television shows, has written a variety of well-received children’s books, secured a U.S. patent, and been an influential social activist. She is married to screenwriter Christopher Guest, with whom she adopted two children. Despite her legendary slasher heroine status, Curtis once said in an interview that she prefers not to watch scary movies, as they terrify her. Now, she puts her old image to good use by hosting an annual “Dream Halloween” event, which benefits the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation.

Springpoint residents give high marks for pandemic response

n a recent independent survey, residents of Springpoint Senior Living gave their communities high marks for the response to the COVID-19 health crisis, with an overall ranking of 4.72 out of 5. Holleran, a nationally recognized research and consulting firm that specializes in the senior living industry, conducted the survey of 1,204 Springpoint independent living residents between Aug. 17 and Sept. 4, 2020. The communities scored extremely well for overall communications, comfort provided by the staff, and resident confidence in the community’s ability to manage a future pandemic, according to information provided by Springpoint. Based in Wall Township, Springpoint is a nationally recognized aging services provider that operates eight full service continuing care retirement communities that were part of the Holleran survey, including: The Atrium at Navesink Harbor in Red Bank; Crestwood Manor in Whiting; Meadow Lakes in East Windsor; Monroe Village in Monroe Township; The Moorings at Lewes in Lewes, Delaware; The Oaks at Denville in Denville; Stonebridge at Montgomery in Skillman; and Winchester Gardens in Maplewood.

“These survey results are an affirmation of what we already knew – that our communities have done an outstanding job during the pandemic,” Anthony A. Argondizza, president and CEO of Springpoint, said in the statement. “Over the past eight months, we’ve received an outpouring of appreciation and support from our residents and families on how well we’ve managed through this unprecedented time. Our ‘Springpoint Heroes’ truly are the shining stars.” From the beginning, Springpoint and its communities took a very aggressive approach to fighting the pandemic, with the safety and well-being of its residents and staff members as the top priority, according to the statement. The Springpoint response has been guided by healthcare professionals and medical directors, in compliance with mandates from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as the state and local Departments of Health. Since March, the following safety measures have been in place to assure safe and healthy Springpoint communities, according to the statement: Team members

complete daily wellness checks, including having their temperature taken. Sick employees are not allowed to work. All guests must complete a wellness screening questionnaire and have their temperature taken prior to their visit. All communities are cleaned regularly and high-touch areas are disinfected with greater frequency. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the communities for guests and employees. All employees and visitors are required to wear a face a covering and maintain proper social distancing. Springpoint communities also placed a strong emphasis on the prevention of social isolation by making sure that residents stayed connected with staff members, families and one another in many different ways, according to the statement. During the stay-at-home restrictions, the in-house TV channels in Springpoint communities provided updates from the senior leadership team to keep residents informed. The channel also provides daily exercise classes, brain fitness, trivia, concerts, movies, lectures and religious ceremonies for residents to view in the comfort and safety of their homes. Zoom meetings and live streaming events were also available. In

addition, staff members checked-in and called residents for in-home meal orders, door deliveries, and other needs. As Springpoint Senior Living communities are cautiously re-opening, residents are engaging in a variety of fun and creatively social distanced activities, according to the statement. The spirit of the communities is beginning to return, which is a welcome change. Residents are out-andabout, enjoying the community and getting reacquainted with their neighbors and staff. Springpoint continues to promote safety protocols while making the best of the unprecedented situation by supporting one another with compassion and respect. Residents and family members continue to express their gratitude for the ongoing efforts of Springpoint employees and leadership teams. Argondizza said, “Kind words and encouragement from residents and family members sustained us during the most difficult days and continue to motivate us as we work together to create our new normal in each of our communities.” Learn more at springpointsl.org.

Technology Is Great, Except By Paul Hall

or years, books have shared the tales of scary monsters in the closet or under the bed. Today’s kids have not stopped reading, they just tend to explore the stories through different media than their parents may have enjoyed. In the new film Come Play, the delivery device is digital, but the tale is just as spooky as the classics. Oliver (Azhy Robertson) is a curious child. Exploring the world, going to school, trying to make friends and to fit in is difficult for all children, but in Oliver’s case it is even more so as he is a highfunctioning autistic child. As Oliver’s parents, Sarah (Gillian Jacobs) and Marty (John Gallagher Jr.), try to help their son cope, challenges abound. From dealing with bullying to trying to help Oliver find friends, they do their best to help their son succeed. Some of his classmates don’t understand why Oliver gets special privileges. His phone goes everywhere with him as he uses a speech-to-text program that helps him gain some semblance of a voice. But what happens when technology becomes a conduit for monsters? As electronics everywhere go haywire, Oliver’s phone — and later an iPad — become the delivery device for a children’s book called Misunderstood Monsters.

The tale is that of a monster named Larry who has no friends and desperately wants one by any means necessary. When Larry enters the family’s world through the electronic devices, the havoc he causes is real. But just what is the monster’s endgame? A film that is not a garden-variety scary movie, Come Play relies on a classic horror plot combined with modern technology and storytelling. The film delivers scares that on multiple occasions raised the hairs on my arm. But it didn’t just scare me, it made me think. A discussion of the depth of the film ensued when it finished, and is more than I can get into here, but let it be known that the whole thing goes deeper than most jump scare horror films. Many films in the genre stick to a single scare tactic such as gore or cringeworthy visuals as much as jump scares and surprising appearances. But Come Play does more and is a refreshing change within the genre. Technology is great, except when it is a gateway to monsters. But isn’t that true of everything in life?

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Chevy Trailblazer AWD RS

he first thing you can’t fail to notice about the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer RS AWD that I recently drove for one week is its striking color: Oasis Blue. If I were naming it – and I am sure the folks at Chevy are glad that I’m not – I would’ve opted for a more appropriate “Electric Blue”. But, that’s neither here nor there, suffice it to say that this Oasis Blue, with a black roof top and a Jet Black with red accents interior makes for Peter Perrotta a very “can’t miss” image as you drive it around town. It is definitely a “love it or hate it” color combination. However, there are plenty of other color options available on the Trailblazer if one is considering buying or leasing one anytime soon. The second most obvious thing one notices about the 2021 Trailblazer RS is its new sculpted body style, and once you plop yourself behind the wheel and take it for a spin, you can’t help but start wondering if the three-cylinder 1.3 liter Ecotec turbo engine is sufficient. Yes, that’s right folks, a three-cylinder engine – albeit turbo charged – in an SUV. It certainly was a bold move for GM. Needless to say, Chevy has sort of taken it on the chin from the traditional motoring press reviewers for this move. The slings and arrows start from the get-go with the simple headline on Car and Driver’s online review of this car: “2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer: Lots of show, not much go.” Ouch! While Motor Trend raved about the versatility of the Trailblazer, their editors also hit it up for being slow. So I guess you are ready for me to jump on the bandwagon, right? Well, not exactly. That would be too easy. While the metrics don’t lie – this engine puts out a pedestrian 155 horsepower – and its zero to 60 time is a laborious 9.4 seconds, there is still much to like about the Trailblazer. Let’s clear the air. If you are looking to own a quick and nimble European-styled little SUV that you can scoot about town with a kid and dog in tow but still zip in

2021 Chevy Trailblazer AWD RS

and out of traffic making aggressive lane changes, then stop right there folks, this isn’t the car for you. But, not everyone wants to drive like that. I love my wife, dearly, but I don’t think she ever accelerates aggressively or takes her 2011 Nissan Altima over 55 mph. My point is, even if we concede the point that the Trailblazer is slow, so what? I am sure there are plenty of folks out there among the vast motoring public who would be perfectly content driving this 2021 Trailblazer around town or on a vacation sojourn and not even notice or even think it’s slow because their driving style fits this model perfectly. My overall impression of the 2021 Trailblazer is a positive one. This vehicle is well-styled, inside and out, and is roomy and comfortable to drive. It also has a versatile, utilitarian personality as well. On weekends, I carry around glass display cases for when I set up at baseball card shows to sell my wares. The Trailblazer held all three of my cases quite well and my Martin acoustic guitar also fit back there when I was taking it to get it restrung. The Trailblazer is rather nimble to maneuver around town and it also takes the

typical bumps and bruises in our New Jersey roads quite well. There isn’t too much shake, rattle and roll when you go over bumps or hit potholes. The 2021 Trailblazer RS AWD model I road tested carries a base sticker price of $26,900. With added options and destination and delivery charges the bottom line sticker price on my tester comes in at $30,580. The added options included $1,720 for a technology package, $620 for a convenience package and $345 for a driver confidence package. The technology package includes wireless Bluetooth Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, a Bose 7-speaker upgraded sound system and more. The driver confidence package includes rear park assist, rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert and side blind zone alert. Among the items included in the driver convenience package are rear port charging stations, automatic zoned AC, and the Sirius Satellite radio system. The infotainment system in the Trailblazer is the standard one included in most of the GM lines. It is a solid performing

system that is easy to use without any glitches. Chevy offers up the Trailblazer in five different trim levels: the L, LS, LT, Activ and the RS. The entry level L can be had for a meager starting base price of $19,995. The three cylinder turbocharged engine in the Trailblazer I drove for one week gets a fairly impressive 28 miles per gallon overall in the EPA’s fuel consumption ratings. It gets 26 mpg in city driving and 30 in highway driving. The EPA estimates the annual cost of driving the Trailblazer around town for one year is $1,450 as it uses about 3.6 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This vehicle has not yet received a rating for the government’s 5 star crash and safety tests. The bottom line is that while this Trailblazer may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there is plenty to like about it to consider it a serious contender for anyone who is considering owning or leasing a small SUV.

Prayer to St. Jude Oh Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near Kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and Glorias. Publication must be promised. St. Jude pray for us all who invoke your aid. Amen. This Novena has never been known to fail. This Novena must be said for 9 consecutive days. Thanks.

PRAYER IS POWERFUL Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine of splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this petition. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse in thee (3Xs). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3Xs). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. + Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and publish prayer after petition is granted. Do not despair. Additional advice and petition. Pray the Rosary regularly. F.A.M.
