Local Nonprofit Opens Sober Living Homes

JACKSON – A nonprofit that focuses on preventing heroin addiction and supporting sobriety has opened sober living homes in Jackson and Howell.

Since 2012, CFC Loud N Clear Foundation has been focused on successful recovery for hundreds of addicts in the state of New Jersey.

At the beginning of the New Year, CFC expanded its program to offer superior and affordable sober living homes for men and women.

A men’s house and a women’s house are now in operation, called B Homes, with their focus on “be loved” and “be amazing.”

Inside This Week’s Edition

The foundation opened the homes as a way to transition those coming out of treatment, who might face relapse if they were to return to their homes.

Instead, the B Homes could be a place to instill new habits to help prevent relapse, foundation officials said.

“Many times when addicts come out of treatment and return to their homes, the same behavioral habits develop forcing a relapse. Sober living allows people to stay secure in their recovery and have a constant support system,” said Executive Director Lynn Regan.

A LOOK AT WHERE CANVASSING IS APPROVED IN JACKSON

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock Residents who are against canvassing have been using both the township’s no-knock decal and a local group’s Jackson Strong signs in an attempt to regain some privacy. The background image, above, is the handwritten list of Jackson streets on the canvassing permit from ReMax On The Move. The list is two pages long.

By Jennifer Peacock and Catherine Galioto JACKSON – The amended solicitation code is staying as is, for now.

Jackson residents succeeded in

getting the township to post solicitation permits online, something that was not part of the original wording of the township’s amended solicitation and no-knock codes.

Seeing where those solicitors—

mostly realtors—are targeting has raised concerns and sparked social media chatter. Almost all streets listed on the permits are on the east side of town, by Jackson and (No-Knock - See Page 4)

No Knock:

Continued From Page 1

Lakewood’s Route 9 border.

Recently, Jackson approved permits for Blue Key Realty and Remax On the Move, with offices in Lakewood, for canvassing on 135 streets near the border with the town. For the full list of streets, visit jacksontwpnj.net.

The new rules mean solicitors must apply for a 30-day permit, and name the specific streets to canvass on. Residents may join a no-knock list, meaning canvassers who ignore the list and the red no-knock decal on properties would face fines.

Some residents have suggested Jackson adopt what Toms River residents want passed in their town: a cease and desist zone that is currently swarmed with real estate solicitation activity. At the Toms River Council meeting February 9, an ordinance creating a “cease and desist” zone in North Dover was introduced. Real estate soliciting would be banned for up to five years; residents who wish to receive solicitations would have to opt-in with the township clerk’s office.

However, Jackson Council has no plans right now to amend its ordinance.

“We have the no-knock ordinance in place, and we feel it’s able to withstand any scrutiny if it’s challenged. It’s very strong. Ours is working right now, we keep a constant watch on it… It is working,” said Council Vice President Kenneth Bressi.

Municipal Business Administrator Helene Schlegel told The Jackson Times the court administrator has reported no violations recorded. Her office hasn’t received any recent calls about the ordinance either.

That only means that no violations have been reported, not that any haven’t occurred.

“Looking at both the options, I think that not only is our current no-knock more effective, but it’s more practical and enforceable than what I’ve seen in other places,” Jackson Council President Robert Nixon said. “A no-knock [ordinance] requires two things. It requires people to be interested in signing up for it, and preserving their private property rights.

And it requires enforcement. What we

have in town is that going on.”

The amended ordinance is only 6 months old, Nixon said.

“We want residents to know that this is an option, and that it’s far more robust and enforceable. There are a number of questions about what may be happening in other places in regards to their enforceability. We’re going to continue on the path we are on, and it is far more effective,” Nixon said.

For months residents have, at Council meetings and Mayor Michael Reina’s “meet the mayor” meetings, expressed concern about neighborhoods along the Jackson/Lakewood border being targeted by real estate agents using blockbusting techniques to scare residents into selling.

A group of Jackson residents formed “Jackson NJ Strong,” an online presence where information is shared; most recently, the group linked to story out of South Blooming Grove, N.Y., where residents formed “United South Blooming Grove” to combat blockbusting there. They also provide information for purchasing “Jackson Strong” yard signs.

Reina has said the township cannot

prevent anyone from selling their home.

Nixon echoed that, telling The Jackson Times that the township must balance the private property rights with individual rights and what people do with their property. If people don’t want to be approached, they have the option of joining the no-knock list.

“What’s most important is that you have enforcement. It is incumbent upon the town, when hear about a complaint, whether it’s trespassing or aggressive activity, or whether there’s a general feeling of discomfort, that we investigate and properly enforce it,” Nixon said. “I feel comfortable we’re in a position to do that.”

Schlegel said if residents in an area believe if blockbusting is happening—it is against federal law—residents should contact the New Jersey Real Estate Commission at 609-292-7272.

Municipal Clerk Ann Marie Eden also suggested residents who believe a Realtor is violating the National Association of Realtors code of ethics should call the Ocean County Board of Realtors at 732244-8111.

Polar Bear Plunge’s Charitable Dip In The Ocean

–Photos by Daniel Nee SEASIDE HEIGHTS ‑‑ An estimated 6,000 plungers – and 25,000 onlookers – came out for the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights, raising more than $1.6 million for the cause. Organizers said it was the most successful plunge yet, and with air temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees for the day, it was the water temperature that defined the winter event, with the average February sea temperature at 40.8°F. The tremendous crowd took the plunge in their summer bathing suits, but also creative costumes, before heading back onto the boardwalk to enjoy the day. Seaside Heights businesses, anticipating the annual crowds, open for the day as one of the first major events of the year.

Editorial Celebrate New Jersey’s History February is honored as Black History Month, and March for Women’s History Month.

Our wonderful local community groups, schools and libraries have set up a great variety of events geared around the history of both these groups, respective to the months.

If you haven’t checked those events out, there is still time to do so.

But also take a moment and learn about the current and past individuals right from our communities who are a part of that rich, diverse history. The libraries and historical societies in our neighborhoods can help you learn more about the men and women who make up our towns’ past, and who deserve recognition for their efforts.

Here are just two stories: The first black fire chief in Ocean County was Garland Griffin, who served as chief of Manitou Park Fire and Rescue Squad from 1959 to 1976. According to the fire company’s history, the plans to have a firehouse on 3rd Avenue and 4th Street in Manitou Park came shortly after its founding on paper in 1959. By 1960, Manitou, with an all black membership of 32, went house to house in a fund drive to purchase block to lay the foundation. Building materials and the work of its members came together to build the firehouse, and over the next two years the squad compiled its first firefighting equipment and vehicles.

According to the squad history: at first, certain fire companies in the area and township officials did not want to recognize the fire company, and gradually the squad volunteers became frustrated and began to quit.

Seven firefighters remained in 1967, when the suggestion came that Manitou should disband and sell the firehouse to the township to store road department equipment. But Chief Griffin instead launched a recruitment campaign that paid no mind to the racial divide. “A man doesn’t care what color a fireman is when his house is burning” was the slogan Griffin used to recruit new members. He was right; and membership grew.

For Women’s History Month, Ocean County has a proud distinction. In 1915, the state had a referendum question on the ballot, the first vote on womens’ suffrage, asking voters if women should have the right to vote in New Jersey.

Every single county in New Jersey voted no – except Ocean County, where more voters said yes. Obviously, the vote failed that day. But, five years later an amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted by New Jersey and the other states that would give women the right to vote in the United States.

For more stories such as these, consider visiting the Ocean County Historical Society, or the resources available at state.nj.us/nj/about/ history.

Letters To The Editor Grave Concerns Over Area Pipeline For the past year, hundreds of citizens from Bordentown to Upper Freehold have spent countless hours and sleepless nights organizing, attending town meetings, writing letters to the NJ BPU, FERC, and the local and Federal legislative delegates that serve this portion of New Jersey.

Why? Because of the very grave concerns that NJNG’s so-called “Southern Reliability Link” (SRL) has raised, its route to course over twolane county roads within 100 feet of residents’ front doors, churches, schools, town halls and emergency response garages, past historic areas dating to the Revolutionary period, past three cemeteries, in township roadways that traverse in front of NJ Preserved Farmlands where U-pick operations are located, and last but not least, invades a section of the NJ Pinelands that is overlain by the Joint Base – McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Additionally, there are over 15 crossings of streams, most of which are tributaries of the Crosswicks Creek which drains to the Delaware River, and potential impacts to mature trees and threatened and endangered species of turtle and fowl.

This gas transmission pipeline would have its terminus in Manchester in Ocean County. Its stated purpose as presented in the petition before the NJ BPU was to enhance resiliency, and reliability of the gas supply should there be another event

such as superstorm Sandy, or disruption in the current Texas Eastern supply system.

Manchester, Lakehurst Borough, and Plumsted have all been curiously silent during this whole time period and I have to wonder if anyone in Ocean County understands the concerns that we in western Monmouth and Burlington County have regarding this unnecessary infrastructure.

As a former 20 year resident of Ocean County, I understand the public relations campaign that NJNG puts out for public consumption.

But I am not so naïve as to think that NJNG just wants to enhance reliability of the gas supply. They really want to enhance the reliability of their income stream through system growth and by placing this infrastructure cost on its ratepayers – and make us Burlington and western Monmouth County residents suffer the consequences should anything go wrong either before, during, or after its construction.

Will you join us by raising your voices loudly against the NJ BPU’s recent approval of this project? This is not a “done deal.” There are permits required and there is also an interstate pipeline extension and new compressor station (also problematic), to be operated by Williams/ Transco, which are needed to service the SRL in order for anything to become viable. It should also be noted that this is tied to PennEast’s project which is being challenged by 70 municipalities along its route all the way to Hopewell

Bombs of Hate

Imagine that as you sleepily go out to retrieve your morning newspaper you find a small bag on your lawn. Curious, you pick it up and find that it is a weighted bag with a leaflet. “Harmless trash,” you may think. Trash it is, but harmless it is not. It is a small “bomb of hate” meant to frighten you with its message against minorities.

More of these hate notes are now appearing in Monmouth County and throughout the state. The perpetrators seek to frighten their targets and to recruit more members for their groups.

We on the Monmouth County Human Relations Commission deplore this hate literat u re and the spreading of its vile message. Even though it may not be illegal, it can be dangerous in its purpose of inciting crimes against minority citizens and immigrants.

Silence encourages the tormentors. If you are a recipient, report the incident to your local police department. A littering complaint is also a possibility. If you see someone dropping these bags or in a similar activity, try to get a license number or as much description as possible of the car and occupants.

Our goal is to alleviate the current tensions and conflicts in our communities.

Hate groups are attempting to inf lame relations with racial minorities, religious minorities, immigrants and between the police and the community.

The Monmouth County Human Relations Commission is available through our Speakers’ Bureau: 732-2914257; website monmouthcountyhrc.org, and bias problem hot line: 732-3037666. We ask members of all community groups, both

minority and majority, to speak out with us. Do not be silent on these issues. We must defuse these “bombs of hate.”

Meat Industry ‑ 9, Consumers ‑ 0 The “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” released recently by U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services mark the ninth time in a row that the meat industry has successfully suppressed scientific findings recommending reduced meat consumption. The reduction was recommended by the government-appointed Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee in a 571-page report based on review of thousands of studies.

Reduced meat consumption was first recommended in 1977 by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs in “Dietary Goals for the United States,” a precursor to the Dietary Guidelines.

The meat industry forced the Committee to destroy all copies of the report and to remove the offending recommendation from a new edition.

That wanton government sell-out to the meat industry has replayed itself with every new edition of the Dietary Guidelines since then.

“Dietary Guidelines for Americans” shape school lunches and other government food support programs and underlie public health campaigns to lower rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Fortunately, American consumers are not easily duped. Sales of plant-based meats, cheeses, milks and ice creams have skyrocketed, and every grocery store provides seemingly countless choices of fruits and vegetables.

JACKSON – Legislation sponsored by Assembly Republican Ron Dancer expanding the crime of invasion of privacy to include the practice of “upskirting” earned the approval of

Dancer’s legislation (A156) protects against photographing or videotaping a person’s undergarments or private areas without their knowledge and approval.

“Modern technology has enabled a new breed of high-tech per pet rators, ‘Electronic Peeping Toms,’ who are invading the privacy of women as they commute to the office or go

about their daily business,” said Dancer, R-Ocean, Burlington, Monmouth and Middlesex. “This bill makes it a crime to record these images or distribute them on the Internet. It is an inva-

–Photo courtesy St. Aloysius School The first graders of Saint Aloysius stand around their new friend, Duncan.

JACKSON – The first graders of Saint Aloysius School had a very special day recently as they welcomed “Duncan the Therapy Horse” into their classroom for an amazing visit. Duncan is owned and trained by a school family. When first grade teacher, Mrs. Accomando, was asked if she would like Duncan to come for a visit, she thought it would be a fantastic learning experience for her class.

The first grade recently had a lesson in their classroom about therapy dogs, and this was a reinforcement of that lesson. In addition, the first graders are the “official animal lovers” of Saint Aloysius School, as they have an ongoing project throughout the year of collecting much needed supplies for the Ocean County Animal Shelter.

Duncan is a miniature horse, who is certified for therapy, and is a frequent visitor to hospitals, nursing homes, shelters and schools. He is known for his calming personality, beautiful brown eyes and adorable “Build a Bear” sneakers on his feet. The boys and girls learned all about Duncan, got up close and personal with him and asked many great questions.

The visit with Duncan was truly a memorable one and the first graders have asked Duncan to come back in the spring, when each student will be reading a story or poem that they will be writing especially for Duncan.

For more information on the school, visit staloysiusschool.com or call the school office at 732-370-1515 ext. 312.

Five Medical Factors That Could Lead To Hearing Loss

While hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises – also referred to as sensorineural hearing loss – a number of medical conditions can lead to hearing impairment as well. Fortunately, some of these medical conditions are reversible, allowing hearing to become fully restored.

Current research is finding strong associations between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity and dementia. But many lesser-known conditions can impact your hearing health in potentially serious ways. Here are a few of them: 1. Blood Conditions: Poor blood flow is typically the result of circulatory system troubles and can restrict the flow of oxygen to the inner ear. Conditions affecting blood flow include sickle-cell anemia, diabetes and heart conditions. Things like high blood pressure, hypercoagulability and polycythemia can also cause blood related hearing loss.

2. Infections: Meningitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord, can cause sudden hearing loss. Hearing loss is also a side effect of treatment of tuberculosis – though it is possible that the medication used in treatment is what causes the impairment. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are common side effects of Lyme disease (carried by ticks), as well as some STDs, like syphilis.

3. Disease: Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the fluids in the inner ear, is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Its root is unknown, and the disease typically affects only one ear in individuals between

ages 20 and 50. Other issues known to affect hearing include hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), kidney disease medications, Paget’s disease and autoimmune inner ear disease, which results in sudden onset hearing loss and must be treated as a medical emergency.

4. Hereditary Conditions: Hearing loss may run in your family. Some serious genetic disorders, such as Waardenburg syndrome, cause the head and internal organs to develop differently, which may result in hearing loss that is difficult to correct through treatment or surgery. Other conditions, like otosclerosis, affect the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the cochlea; some of these conditions are correctable with surgery.

5. Tumors and Cancer: Cancers of the head, neck or ear areas can affect the inner ear, but cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also notorious for causing hearing loss. Some recent research out of the U.K. suggests that aspirin can help prevent permanent hearing loss as a side effect of the cancer drug cisplatin, but further research is necessary. Acoustic neuromas and tumors that grow on the auditory nerve can cause hearing loss or tinnitus, and they may put pressure on the brain, leading to other conditions. Both are usually benign and can be removed surgically.

Free Hearing Screening – Do you have a friend or family member who has complained of an inability to hear things as clearly as they once did? We’ll screen their hearing free of charge. Your referrals mean a healthier local community and healthier communities benefit everyone.

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.

Health Department Posts Inspection Results Weekly

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department regularly inspects food establishments (restaurants, delis, supermarkets and any type of business that sells fresh or packaged food items).

The ratings guidelines are as follows: Satisfactory – is in substantial compliance with state health codes.

Conditional Satisfactory – needs improvement in several areas– as determined by the licensed inspector and interpretation of the state health codes. A time limit is set for the establishment to come into compliance and a re-inspection is done in order to assure this

compliance.

Unsatisfactory – serious or unsafe conditions/violations of the health codes set by the State Of New Jersey. The establishment would be asked to close until all conditions/ requirements are met.

The county health department website posts a listing of conditionally rated establishments. Also listed are establishments that have improved their status after a conditional rating and now meet satisfactory conditions.

The latest inspections are posted each week at ochd.org/Restaurant-Inspections/242/.

Brace Yourself: Your Thyroid Lab Test Is Probably All Wrong

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The current medical system isn’t on your side. Some physicians don’t stay current with the literature, or if they do, they are reading drug-funded studies. Some docs actually still believe what they were taught 30 years ago in medical school.

How does that help you?

When a physician uses knowledge from an outdated toolbox, you pay the price.

Case in point, I received this email from someone, name withheld: “Suzy, I’ve had all the tests for thyroid but they all come back fine, yet for years I’ve been losing hair on top of my head, and I have no leg or pubic hair, the driest skin and dry eyes. So on and so on and now my bladder is overactive. Do you think I have a thyroid problem?”

So does this person have thyroid disease? Probably, although, we’d need lab tests to confirm. If you go to 100 doctors and ask them to test your thyroid, about 98 of them will use the standard “TSH” test and if it’s normal, they will tell you that you do not have thyroid disease, like my anonymous reader above. They will treat you for everything but thyroid!

The TSH test is old and outdated and if you base your life on the results of this test, you’ll never get well. You’ll be prescribed 10 different drugs to smack down all the symptoms of thyroid disease, rather than ever treating the thyroid disease itself. Imagine the arcade game Whac-A-Mole!

If your physician uses only the TSH

test and it is normal, you may be told you have fibromyalgia and be given analgesics for the muscle pain and you’ll be diagnosed with either depression or anxiety and be prescribed either Zoloft or Xanax (or both). You’ll also be sent to the pharmacy for Rogaine for the hair loss and Detrol LA for the overactive bladder. Good luck getting well. All this expense and misery, because your TSH came back normal. A TSH can be normal and it’s still very possible that you have some degree of hypothyroidism, or you are genuinely “thyroid sick” as I refer to it in my book, “Thyroid Healthy” available at my website and Amazon.

Maybe instead of 10 drugs you need one drug as in thyroid medicine or maybe natural thyroid dietary supplementation, or a combination. A good doctor will know.

Forget about the TSH test, it’s just okay.

It’s part of a bigger scenario. The most important tests are the following: Total T3, Total T4, Free T3, Free T4, TPO and TG Antibodies, Reverse T3 and Ferritin.

I’m out of space here, but I have suggested “normals” that are much different from those on your lab tests. If you go to my website suzycohen.com and sign up for my newsletter, I’ll give you a free ebook, plus I will email you a longer version of this article that includes the tests and the normal reference ranges so you can compare your lab numbers to my recommended values.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Obviously Not A Golfer Dear Joel, I moved from Queens, New York into an over-55 development in Monroe Township.

Although my husband always enjoyed golf, it has now become an obsession of his. I sometimes feel as if I would have been better off staying in New York. I am bored and lonely while he is out enjoying himself. I sometimes feel as if I would have been better off staying in New York.

Answer: In as much as it would be nice for your husband to be spending more time with you, he doesn’t have any obligation to do so. Many people would be very happy that their spouses have found pleasure in their retirement years.

My suggestion to you is to find something

that you enjoy.

Many women in the over-55 developments play golf. I am certain that there is a school in the vicinity and you too can be swinging a club and enjoying the links.

You gain nothing by blaming him for your boredom. Try something new and if that isn’t enjoyable try something different.

You too deserve happiness in life. Our blaming others for our unhappiness gets us nowhere.

between Jackson officers with officers from the Howell Police Department to conduct enforcement on Bethel Church Road at the Jackson/Howell border.

Besides the traffic violations, one Jackson female was stopped by Officer Mark Rodina on Bethel Church Road. During the course of the stop, Officer Rodina, who is one of the agency’s certif ied Drug Recognition Experts determined

that she had used methadone without a valid prescription and that she was in possession of hypodermic syringes, Laskiewicz said.

The resident was charged with the use of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of hypodermic syringes, possession of drug paraphernalia and motor vehicle violations. After further investigation by Det. Scott Conover, she was

also charged with two counts of forgery, theft and burglary from other incidents unrelated to the traffic stop. Bail was set at $25,000 and she was later transported to the Ocean County Jail.

Laskiewicz said the Traffic Safety Unit plans to conduct additional enforcement details in the future. Anyone with traffic related complaints is asked to contact the Traffic Safety Unit at 732-928-1111.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Tips

JACKSON – In the past decade, people have become more aware of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in the home.

Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel are potential sources of carbon monoxide. Vehicles or generators running in an attached garage can also produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

To protect yourself from this potential danger, follow these tips: Install CO alarms (listed by an independent testing laboratory) inside your home to provide early warning of accumulating CO. CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each separate sleeping area.

Test CO alarms at least once a month, and replace CO alarms according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not run a vehicle, generator, or other fueled engine or motor indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle is not covered with snow.

During and after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace are clear of snow build-up.

Have fuel-burning household heating equipment (fireplaces, furnaces, water heaters, wood and coal stoves, space or portable heaters) and chimneys inspected by a professional every year before cold weather sets in.

When using a fireplace, open the flue for adequate ventilation.

Never use your oven to heat your home.

Know the difference between the sound of the smoke alarms and the sound of the CO alarms.

If the CO detector sounds intermittently and is battery-powered, check the battery.

If your CO detector sounds a steady alarm, do not ventilate the home, but evacuate and call 9-1-1 so the Fire Department can investigate the source with specialized gas meters.

Call a qualified technician to inspect all equipment after the Fire Department deems the dwelling safe to return.

Some of the sy mptoms of carbon monoxide poising are severe headache, dizziness, mental confusion, nausea or faintness. Many of these symptoms are similar to the flu, food poisoning or other illnesses. Advise the 9-1-1 dispatcher if you have any of these symptoms.

CO alarms are not substitutes for smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home including inside all sleeping areas. Having a working smoke alarm installed on every level of your home dramatically increases your chances of survival. Smoke alarm batteries need to be tested every month and changed with new ones at least once a year. Consider replacing the entire smoke alarm every ten years, or as the manufacturer guidelines recommend.

Contact Fire Official Frank McDonnell to receive your free battery operated smoke detector 732-928-1666 ext. 14 or email fmcdonnell@jacksonfiredist3.org.

Bartley

tried to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says.

For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that serve their healthcare needs.

Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground.

Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties.

Bar tley Healthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes.

Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care.

Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents

By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living.

Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents.

One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years.

“I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor.

Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose.

“You do what you want to do,” she says.

For thirty years, Bartley

Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Officer Philip Scalo and his physician partners.

“My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.”

With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team.

Others think so, too.

The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America.

The Jackson Times, February 27, 2016, Page 23 For the week of Febuary 27- March 4

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Get that heart rate up. Find ways to release pent up energy and clear your mind for the upcoming week ahead. Make sure to leave your schedule flexible as romantic interludes could suddenly pop up without warning.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Have it your way. You are able to use your charms and wiles to get nearly anyone to fall into line. Put your social acumen to good use by reconciling differences, asking for favors or making new acquaintances this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Find your support group. You’ll find that those who care about you the most will provide the enthusiasm you need to get your ideas off of the ground. A significant other may make the rest of the world seem to stand still later in the week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stick to your convictions this week. Don’t back down when it comes to letting others know where you stand on specific issues. Avoid getting too deep into conversations involving subjects of which you have little or no knowledge.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Family comes first. Schedule time to pay attention to loved ones as work may take up too much of your time this week. If someone approaches you for advice, be helpful and enthusiastic as criticism could be poisonous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t compromise your values. In the heat of the moment, you may feel compelled to say or do something that goes against everything that you’ve been taught. Steer clear of confrontations in the week to come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Bury the

hatchet. There’s no point in allowing ill feelings to fester. You can improve everyone’s mood by taking steps towards reconciliation. Matters of romance and relationships may take precedent as the week progresses.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Nothing stands in the way of progress. No matter if you take baby steps or giant leaps forward you get closer to achieving your goal. Don’t shrug off a commitment or promise this week just because you don’t think it’s important.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Play it cool. Don’t allow someone to get under your skin this week as this may be precisely the reaction they were looking for. Find constructive outlets to blow off steam such as sports or tackling chores around the house.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): May the force be with you. Just have a little faith that the universe is working with you and not against you, and everything will turn out for the best this week. Someone may be willing to help more than you anticipated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): A well-tended garden blooms best. Don’t expect projects to become rousing successes unless you have provided the proper care and attention to making them work. Romantic prospects are likely to improve in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): The means don’t always justify the ends. Giving simply to help out those in need is a wonderful thing, while giving to receive kudos is not quite as admirable.

Ethical questions may seem irrelevant but could impact the future. (c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENTAGENCY, LLC.

Wolfgang Puc

Cuban Sandwich Proves That A Panini

By Any Other Name Tastes Just As Delicious

By Wolfgang Puck

As a chef with restaurants on three continents and the good fortune to travel and eat my way around the world, I am always fascinated to see how so many dishes that may at first seem unique to a particular cuisine actually have close cousins in other countries.

Fried chicken, for example, is undeniably all-American; yet, I grew up eating wonderful skillet-fried chicken in Austria, and chunks of crispy chicken are popular bar snacks in Japan. Then there’s my grandmother’s pot ato -and- cheese-st uffed du mp lings, remarkably similar to Italian ravioli and Chinese pot stickers.

Now consider the sandwich. It may owe its name to the English nobleman who, because he couldn’t be bothered to tear himself away from the gambling table, asked his meat to be served between two slices of bread. But that doesn’t fully explain why so many countries today claim sandwiches all their own. Take the panini, Italy’s own signature pressed sandwich. Yes, people across Europe and North America have enthusiastically taken to it, coming up with all sorts of variations involving different breads, cheeses and other fillings and seasonings. Still, other countries have their own griddled sandwiches.

There’s America’s lunchtime classic, grilled cheese, for example.

One of my favorite panini cousins, though, is the Cuban sandwich, which originated about a cent ur y ago among Cuban im mig rants in southern Florida. It’s one of the most generous grilled sandwiches I have encountered, featuring cheese and a generous assortment of cured and cooked meats, plus pickles and mustard, cooked not between two slices of bread but inside a length of long, slender French bread. Better still, the sandwich is weighted down to press it as thinly as possible, to produce a wonderfully crusty, crunchy exterior that complements the hot, rich filling bound together with melted cheese.

This is no ordinary panini.

Yet, as special as it sounds, a Cuban sandwich is still incredibly quick and easy to make at home. You can use any assortment of fillings you want, including roast pork or other leftover meat. Just be sure to include yellow ballpark-style mustard and sliced dill

pickles to achieve just the right tangy f lavor. The other key is to not just to cook the sandwich inside a panini grill, but also to weigh down the grill with a brick or heavy cans (placing them carefully for even pressure and so they don’t slide off ).

You’ll be amazed by the difference these few little secrets make to the results. And I predict that, once you try it, you’ll make Cuban Sandwiches a regular part of your own home cooking repertoire.

CUBAN SANDWICH Serves 1 1 length French or sourdough baguette, cut to fit your panini grill 3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise 3 to 4 tablespoons yellow mustard 2 to 3 thin slices Swiss cheese 4 to 6 thin slices smoked or cured ham 4 to 6 slices salami 6 thin lengthwise slices dill pickle 3 or 4 slices roast pork, or other meat of your choice 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened Preheat an electric panini press or a hinged electric counter top double-sided grill.

With a serrated bread knife, cut the length of baguette horizontally in half. Evenly spread both cut surfaces of the bread with mayonnaise, then mustard. Arrange the bread halves coated side up on a work surface.

Layer the bottom half of the bread with the Swiss cheese. Then, in even layers, arrange the roast pork, salami, ham and pickle slices.

Press the top piece of the baguette onto the filling, compacting the sandwich evenly. Brush the top of the bread with butter. Place the sandwich in the preheated panini grill.

Weigh down the top of the panini grill with a brick wrapped in foil or with two large cans of tomatoes or other canned goods, placing them for even weight distribution and to avoid them possibly slipping off.

Cook the sandwich until the filling is heated through, the cheese is melted and the bread is well browned and very crusty, about 5 minutes.

If you want to cut the sandwich in half, use a serrated knife and a sawing motion to avoid squeezing out the filling. Serve immediately.
