Senator Chris Connors Introduces Expansive Veterans’ Initiative: The New Jersey Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act
Forked River: In concert with their continuing efforts on behalf of veterans, Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove have introduced legislation (S-2839) to update, modernize and bring in line with existing federal law the benefits and protections afforded to military servicemembers and their dependents. The 9th District Delegation’s initiative, entitled the “New Jersey Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act,” would repeal and replace the New Jersey Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1979 to expand the definition of those who are protected under state law by reconciling differences between State and federal law. “This legislative initiative would bring State law into line with the federal Servicemember’s Civil Relief Act in order to ensure that New Jersey servicemembers are afforded appropriate protection under State law,” said Senator Connors, who serves on the Senate Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “Among those issues covered under the legislation are rental agreements, security deposits, prepaid rent, eviction, installment contracts, credit card interest rates and mortgage foreclosure.” Connors, Rumpf and Gove were the authors of the recently enacted law that protects sevicemembers’ parental rights by prohibiting permanent changes in custody arrangements for deployed military personnel. “As more of our veterans return home, there is a better understanding of the complications these individuals encounter through no fault of their own,” said Assemblyman Rumpf. “Unquestionably, we have a serious obligation to provide legal protections to accommodate servicemembers who may be prevented from resolving matters, such as a violation of their rental agreement, due to the tremendous demands of military service that can include overseas deployment.” Assemblywoman Gove, who serves on the Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee, remarked, “Essentially, the legislation is intended to postpone or suspend, if necessary, certain civil obligations to relieve stress on servicemembers and their families. Given the serious nature of military service, servicemembers need to be able to devote their full attention to their military duties. Equally important, the legislation’s key provisions are intended to deter unscrupulous persons from tying to take advantage of servicemembers’ deployment as an opportunity to defraud servicemembers or deprive them of their rights.” Additional protections provided under the Delegation’s legislation for servicemembers include: · Protections against default judgments which cannot be properly defended by reason of military service; ·
Relief from contracts that cannot be performed due to military service;
·
A maximum six-percent rate of interest on debts incurred before military service;
·
Protections against liens for storage, repair, and cleaning of property and effects;
·
Protections regarding life insurance, professional liability insurance and health insurance;
·
Reservation of land rights provided under federal law.

Heart Smart: Taste the Rainbow! We recently learned that our former President George W. Bush underwent a stent placement in his heart vessel to relieve a blockage. This news struck a chord with a number of people for a number of reasons. He was personified as a healthy outdoorsman and was often photographed jogging and chopping wood. Mr. Bush is also considered a “young” man. For most Americans, age 67 is only two years after we plan on retiring. Our golden years should be spent enjoying, traveling, dancing at our children’s weddings or playing with our grandchildren. Nowhere in the American dream is it written that we should work hard all of our lives only to deal with heart disease during retirement. I frequently tell my patients that although you cannot change your genes, you can change your lifestyle (or in other words how you should style your life). You have control over it. In addition to exercising regularly and being active, eating healthy can have innumerable benefits for your heart. Similar to how a financial planner would advise that you should start saving now for tomorrow, the same can be applied to eating healthy. Or as Thomas Jefferson stated: “Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.” When thinking about heart healthy foods, I like to use the term “taste the rainbow.” Eating across the spectrum of colors when it comes to fruit and veggies can provide vitamins, nutrients and fiber that can decrease your chances of heart disease and allow you to live longer. 1. Red • Tomatoes, watermelon. Lycopenes are a pigment that gives certain fruit and vegetables their red coloring. It is also a powerful antioxidant that can decrease the fatty plaque buildup within blood vessels that decrease or block blood flow (known as atherosclerosis). • Red wine (in moderation). Resveratrol is believed to prevent damage to blood vessels, reduce “bad” cholesterol and prevent blood clots. 2. Orange • Citrus (oranges, tangerines, clementines, grapefruit). Fiber works like a very sticky glue inside your intestines to bind cholesterol and decrease its absorption into your body. Citrus is also rich in Vitamin C, an antioxidant and can help decrease atherosclerosis. • Salmon. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to increase “good” cholesterol (known as HDL) as well as lower blood pressure, the incidence of blood clots and triglyceride levels. 3. Yellow • Bananas. Potassium is a critical electrolyte that is important for salt and water balance in your body. Consequently, it is important for blood pressure regulation. • Popcorn. Polyphenols are antioxidants that can offset atherosclerosis. 4. Green • Bell peppers, asparagus. Decreases homocysteine, an amino acid that is associated with heart disease. • Leafy greens are a powerhouse when it comes to heart health. They are full of nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. So Popeye was not just strong, but he probably also had whistle clean arteries. 5. Blue • Blueberries. Anthocyanin dilates blood vessels and decreases blood pressure. These tasty little berries also have one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings. 6. Violet • Cabbage. Antioxidants, antioxidants and more antioxidants means decreased atherosclerosis. • Raisins. These dried up grapes contain a chemical that fights bacteria in your mouth. But what does oral bacteria have to do with your heart? These bacteria could otherwise travel to your heart vessels and bind to fatty plaques and worsen blockages. 7. Brown (disclaimer: this is not a color of the rainbow, but has some important food items) • Dark chocolate. Flavanols create a blood thinning effect that decreases the risk of forming blood clots. Not that we need an excuse to eat dark chocolate! • Nuts. Phytosterols resemble cholesterol, but somehow reduce cholesterol levels in our bodies. Rules of thumb 1. Increase fruit and veggies and “taste the rainbow” 2. Decrease processed foods, sodium, and trans fats
