Q. I have a teenager who is learning to drive, what should I tell him to do in the event he is ever involved in an accident? A. Before he gets behind the wheel you should get him a cell phone for emergencies, and he should have the following items in his car: (a) in the glove box, a living will if he is at least eighteen years of age, along with a card containing emergency contact information and information about special medical conditions or allergies; and (b) in the trunk, a flashlight, a set of cones, warning triangles or emergency flares, pen and paper for taking notes; if the cell phone does not have the capability to take pictures then get a disposable camera. At the Accident: The most important thing to tell your child is to stay calm, check on all passengers, report the accident to the police and get medical attention for anyone in need. It is best if possible, not to move anyone until qualified medical personnel arrive. If he is able to exit the vehicle, he should take pictures, get the names and addresses of all witnesses before they leave the scene and collect information about all vehicles involved: Year, make, and model; License plate number; Insurance carrier; and Insurance policy number. Cooperate with the police, remain calm and polite, but do not admit fault. After the Accident: Even minor accidents can turn into a major problem, so in the days after the accident, maintain a diary of the following: (a) trips to doctor, hospital, therapy, pharmacy, etc. (b) all medical expenses and out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses to secure medical treatment and (c) any pain, anxiety and sleeplessness you experience. Do not allow him to talk to anyone about the accident except for your Attorney and do not sign anything pertaining to the accident case except whatever may be requested by your attorney. In the event litigation ensues, keep appointments with your attorney and his/ her staff to help assure orderly processing of your case and report any suspicious actions to your attorney. You may be under surveillance by investigators. Movies, videotape, and still photographs may be made of you. Be mindful of your actions!

Dr. Nina Radcliff can be seen on Dr. Oz and Fox News as a national medical correspondent There are 5 million Americans with Alzheimer’s dementia and it is the 6th leading cause of death. Dementia affects memory, attention, language, and problem solving. It has a significant human toll and a heavy price tag. I know this personally because my grandfather died from it. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s three years before he passed away. The dementia hit him suddenly and he had an accelerated decline. He became a stranger to the family and his last few years required around-the-clock care. Our family would have done anything to have delayed the onset or decreased its severity. There were no medications to cure it or even allay the symptoms. As a physician and coming from a family of physicians we felt helpless when it came to caring for him. When you look up “causes” for Alzheimer’s Disease, it returns as “genes, environment, and lifestyle.” Since we cannot change our genes, we must focus on the environmental and lifestyle factors that we have control over to decrease the incidence. Regular exercise. Cardiovascular exercise has been shown to decrease your risk of developing Alzheimer’s by 50%! Additionally, getting your heart rate up can also work like a “speed bump” to slow the progression of dementia. Experts recommend engaging in 30 minutes of aerobic exercise such as gardening, walking, swimming, or playing tennis 5 days a week. Additionally, strength training 2-3 times a week not only builds your muscles, but can keep your brain strong. Think of your brain as an advanced muscle. Healthy diet. Foods that decrease inflammation can help protect special cells in your brain that remove debris and toxins that contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. ▪ The “rainbow” spectrum of food are rich in antioxidants: Cherries, spinach, corn, cantaloupe, bell peppers, plums, kale, peaches, berries, and tomatoes ▪ Omega-3 fats decrease inflammation in your brain and blood vessels: fish, fish oil supplements, and flaxseed ▪ Avoid trans fats which may be founds in cookies, crackers, cakes, margarine, fried foods, frozen dinners, and other processed foods. Although they are tantalizing to your taste buds and prolong the shelf life of many processed foods, they literally turn to sludge in your body. The FDA requires all processed foods to list trans fats on the nutrition label. A product that states “0 trans fats” can still contain up to 0.5 grams of trans fats per serving. This can add up throughout the day. ▪ Black and green teas may have up to 10 times the amount of antioxidants found in fruits and veggies ▪ Stop lighting up. In addition to increasing the risk for lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and strokes, people who smoke heavily during their mid years may more than double their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Mental stimulation. Consider doubling your summer reading list and breaking out the chessboard and card table because all of that mental exercising can preserve memory, regardless of your age. Some tips from experts include: studying a foreign language, practicing a musical instrument, reading, brain teasers, and other problem solving activities. Quality sleep. Poor sleep doesn’t just make you grouchy or give you a headache, but can increase your risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease. Research is still underway to understand why, but we know that deep levels of sleep (REM sleep) are necessary for processing information and storing memories. Stress management. Chronic stress is more than just an emotional problem. It can affect your ability to learn and remember new things. Studies have shown that it can cause shrinkage of the hippocampus (a memory area in the brain) and affect nerve cell growth. Consider simple daily tools to minimize these harmful effects: deep breathing exercises, cardiovascular exercise, and yoga. Remain social. Maintaining social activities has been shown in studies to improve memory and thinking. Consider volunteering, joining a social group, visiting a senior center, taking a group class, and knowing your neighbors. Protect your head. Repeated hits from sports (football, soccer, boxing) or one-time injuries (bicycle, skating, motorcycle accidents) have been shown to significantly increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Wearing a helmet while playing sports and buckling your seat belt while in your vehicle can help protect your brain.
Joseph C. Massey was 92 years old when he passed away surrounded by family members on July 22, 2013. He was born in Atlantic City. He was a life long resident of the area who enjoyed the beaches and bays of the New Jersey shore while growing up in Ventnor and Pleasantville. He was a devout Catholic and the eldest son of the late Charles and Helen (Kern) Massey. He was a 1941 graduate of Holy Spirit High School in Atlantic City and joined the Navy during World War II serving proudly on the USS Hermitage and the USS Darke. Joe was a union member of Local #27 Sheet Metal Workers. He raised his family in Pleasantville where he was an active member of St. Peter’s Church and sent his children to St Peter’s School. Joe enjoyed coaching football teams for the Pleasantville Mighty Mites and the Junior Jockers. After moving to Absecon in 1975 he became active in the new founded parish of St Elizabeth Ann Seton Church where he served as an usher for many years and only giving it up when his health began to fail. He loved boating and fishing and spending time with his buddies at the dock. He was a proud member of the Coast Guards Auxiliary until 2010 when he retired at the age of 89 after serving 25 years. He was one of the most patriotic persons ever. He was born into a large family with 5 brothers and one sister who he loved dearly. His father and every one of his brothers and his brother-in-law served their country. As a veteran he could be seen walking in parades proudly waving his American flag. He especially loved the Smithville 4th of July parades where his children, grandchildren, and great grand-children watched for him. Joe was a true family man. He and his wife Theresa had a special needs daughter, Beth Anne who they loved and cared for her whole life until her death at 17 years old. His children were the world to him and he lovingly accepted his son-in-laws and daughterin-law as his own. As a father and grandfather he loved telling stories of leprechauns and fairies and how a scar on his first born granddaughter, Terry’s face came not from a dog scratch but a lion attack. He taught them all how to fish and didn’t get mad when his grand-daughter dropped his brand new pole in the bay, which he fished out 5 years later. He
showed them how to suck honey from honeysuckles and his own version of the Irish jig. He was a big fan of everything they did and encouraged them to follow their dream. He wasn’t just a good dad to his kids but was loved by every child who ever met him. He was a caring fun uncle to all of his nieces and nephews. He was blessed to have lived long enough to see his great grand-children born and mourned along with his family when two of his great grandchildren, Dominique and Brielle passed away. He was a devoted husband who cared for his wife during her 10 year battle with cancer. He was lost without her when she finally passed and expressed how much he loved her and loved married life. At the age of 82 he started a new chapter in his life by marrying again. He and his wife Betty enjoyed vacations together and formed new friendships at the 4 Seasons in Smithville. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 47 years, Theresa (Dippolito) Massey, his daughter Beth Ann Massey, his great granddaughters Dominique DeSimone and Brielle Theresa Santo, his brothers Bud, Fred, and Bobby Massey. He is survived by his wife, Betty and his children Mary & Jerry Cohen, Joseph & Michelle Massey, Helene & Jim Berchtold, Anne & Scott Feldman, his grandchildren, Theresa & Chris Stankus, Danielle & Dan Bolf, Jennifer & Ray Scalice, Dawn & John Thompson, Carol & Frank Santo, Elizabeth & Anthony Volpe, Melissa & David Vitiello, Daniel Massey, and Joelle Massey. He was lovingly known as PopPop by his 14 surviving great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Leo and Eddie and his loving sister Catherine ( Sis).
