Jackson Residents Speak Up Against Sound System, For Video

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – It snaps, c r a ck le s, p ops a nd sometimes zaps. It’s the sound and recording system in Jackson Township’s main meeting room.

Officials realize the system is outdated, and one meeting is lacking an audio recording, while residents hope the situation can be improved to keep meetings as open and accessible as possible.

A malfunction prevented the township council from recording its October 25 meeting. More importantly, both residents and officials complain of not being able to hear the public speak during open public portion of meetings, or of witnesses giving testimony during board hearings.

Speakers who get too close to the microphone may cause a loud “pop” to burst over the sound system. However, standing too far from the microphone makes it impossible for speakers to be heard by officials at the dais or audience members sitting behind them.

Resident Christina Kisseberth went to the (Sound - See Page 5)

Lighting Up The Holidays In Jackson

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – The annual tradition of lighting up the holidays was switched on at the township’s tree lighting December 3 at the municipal building.

Mayor Michael Reina said it was standing room only inside during the music program portion of the event.

Santa Claus and his Christmas helpers hitched a ride to the tree lighting with Jackson Fire Department Station 56. They helped with the countdown to the tree lighting.

The Goetz Middle School Chorus was just one musical act that serenaded the packed audience with Christmas tunes.

Also performing were the Commission for the Disabled Special Peoples Chorus and the Jackson Memorial Music Honor Society.

THE SEASON FOR FLU

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY-There has been very low flu activity in New Jersey so far, but it is hard to know what the actual numbers are since long-term nursing care facilities and schools are not required to report flu outbreaks, said Leslie Terjesen, public information officer for the Ocean County Health Department.

However, hospital emergency rooms report influenza symptoms, and so far the number of reports are the same as last year or “maybe a drop higher,” she said.

“When people start showing up in the ER and check in with respiratory problems, we know the flu is here,” Terjesen said from her office at the OCHD in Toms River.

The OCHD offers flu clinics, and there used to be lines so long they encircled the building, but now that flu shots are available everywhere the department buys less and less of the vaccine, she said.

“We don’t care where you get your flu shot, we just want everyone to get one,” Terjesen said.

Howell’s History As A Tuberculosis Preventorium For Children

By Charles Daye HOWELL – They came from poorer households, hoping to survive an outbreak.

A place to monitor and prevent tuberculosis, Howell’s preventorium housed hundreds of children throughout its five decades of operation.

On December 1, The Heritage Group of

Howell cosponsored an event at the Howell Public Library about the Tuberculosis Preventorium For Children, a preventive facility for children exposed to tuberculosis.

The site operated in Howell from 1910 until the 1960s.

microphone November 29 and spoke about the sound system.

“I don’t know the last time this was asked, but I’m having trouble, and I thought it would be better sitting more towards the front, with the audio in here,” Kisseberth said. “I could hear you better, but when I hear people talking, the residents, I can’t hear. Has anybody asked recently something about, in the budget, to update your equipment?”

Council vice president Kenneth Bressi jumped in to answer.

“Because it’s been asked continually, that I know of, from 1985,” he said. “It’s the most horrible system. I don’t know if it’s the wood or what the acoustics are. We have all asked for it several times. It’s funny because I was going to put this on for the first of next year again.”

Township clerk Ann Marie Eden responded to an email inquiry from The Jackson Times about the history of the sound system. The newspaper also inquired as to when and how the meetings were videotaped.

“The audio system was revamped sometime around 2009. The recording system that was utilized for many, many years was done by tape recording. Around 2010, we then changed to a CD recording system,” Eden wrote. “Township ‘Committee’ meetings were videotaped (I believe a student from Memorial H.S. handled it). That was sometime around 2003? The videotape would air on the local Cable Channel [approximately

The OCHD visits many of the adult villages to administer the shots; people aged 65 and older get a trivalent vaccine to protect against flu viruses that have been prevalent in the southern hemisphere.

The 2016-2017 influenza vaccine is made to protect against the most common of them, which are A/California; A/Brisbane; and A/Hong Kong.

Those under the age of 65 get a quadrivalent flu vaccine that protects against four different viruses, which gives broader protection against circulating flu viruses.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that anyone over the age of six months get their flu shot.

In Ocean County, all children aged six months to five years who attend a licensed child care or preschool facility must be vaccinated by December 31.

These facilities are audited by the OCHD, and anyone who has not had their child vaccinated by the end of the year will receive a letter saying the child must be vaccinated or they will not be allowed to attend the program, Terjesen said.

“If you have flu-like symptoms, go to the doctor and get anti-viral medication and stay home,” Terjesen said.

You can’t get the flu from a flu shot, Terjesen said. “If you get the shot, and you get the flu that season, it will probably be a much milder form,” she said.

That’s true, said Dr. Philip Angelo of Brick, a physician who has a family practice in Colts Neck.

The virus changes year-to-year and you can’t

It was not immediately available how much that revamp or switch to CD cost.

“What are we going to do when somebody has to stand back there, and you’ll see them raising their hands when they can’t hear you, they can’t pick it up,” Bressi said. “It’s been the same problem, since I know of, since 1985.”

Business administrator Helene Schlegel said council would like to see the item in the capital budget. “You’re point is well taken,” she told Kisseberth.

“And since we’re talking about the audio, what about the visual for the elderly that can’t come to the meetings, for parents that have little ones that can’t get out here, so the town could be more involved with that’s going on,” Kisseberth asked.

“I think we’re going to start with the audio, and take a look at what that’s going to run us,” council president Robert Nixon said.

How and if towns post their respective meetings’ audio and video varies widely.

Municipalities such as Howell and Barnegat post videos of their meetings—Howell even live streams the meetings—while Manchester Townships posts neither video or audio. Residents and journalists may fill out an Open Public Records Act to obtain audio files of council meetings.

The Jackson Township council offers its recorded meetings dating back to January 2013. It appears in all those years that only the October 25, 2016 meeting failed to record.

The public can access those files by visiting bit.ly/2fWZ8vu. rely on past vaccinations to protect you, he said.

“Your antibodies wane over the year, so even if there was an exact match year to year, you’d need a booster. Also, it should be noted even in years where the vaccine does not match the circulating flu, the vaccine has been proven to still reduce disease burden and mortality,” Dr. Angelo said.

Some of his patients have said they got a flu shot that resulted in a cold afterwards.

“No, you just got a cold,” said Dr. Angelo. “The flu shot does not protect you from a cold, but the common cold does not kill up to 30,000 people a year, which is the main reason why we vaccinate against the flu.”

And even if it doesn’t kill you, it will “knock you on your butt” for a week, which is the amount of time you need to stay out of work anyway to keep from spreading it, said Dr. Angelo.

“But even if you don’t mind missing work, staying at home shivering uncontrollably, or dying, getting the flu shot protects the population in general. If enough people get their shots ‘herd immunity’ will kick in, arresting the spread of an epidemic from people who are not immunized, including people who must not get the flu, such as babies and the immunocompromised,” he said.

Dr. Angelo said he and his classmates from medical school have been getting the flu shot every year since they graduated 20 years ago.

“The only thing that’s happened to me and my classmates is none of us have gotten the flu or killed anybody by passing it on,” he said.

The flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.

The OCHD will continue to run flu clinics through January. For more information visit ochd.org.

Editorial Time To Pause For The Wonder As the carol goes: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” That’s because so many of us get to come together and celebrate the holidays. We rush and rush, and then exhale in the moments we can pause and enjoy the company of our family and friends and share the traditions of the season, in all the wonderful ways they manifest.

You may be busy planning the gatherings in your home or your trips to family and friends’ homes, and to enjoy the magic that is created there. But this time of year offers so much for the community to come together, too.

Take a moment, and take part in those wonderful efforts.

Local organizations are busy hosting charitable drives for toys, food or coats, to be given to neighbors in need. The magic of the season is also found in these endeavors, as volunteers work to spread generosity far and wide. That too is an example of how this is the most wonderful time of the year.

And on your way to all those holiday chores, take a moment to pause and see the amazing displays for the holidays. Your neighbors have dressed up their homes

in lights, the town’s Christmas tree and menorah are lit, and everything seems to magically twinkle in the celebration of the season. It’s a wonder how it all comes together, and how the dark December evenings manage to shine with the spirit of the season.

But then there’s our favorite example of the magic of the season: the long list of holiday events held by towns, civic groups and others to spread holiday cheer. Whether the senior center is hosting a breakfast with Santa, or the high school chorus has its holiday performance, there is no shortage of ways to fill nearly every evening with events such as these.

That our local communities manage to put on such a bevy of activities in so short a season is nothing short of amazing. Everything from Santa’s arrival, to historical looks at local traditions, to toy drives to big-name holiday performances are just some of the events. Looking for a holiday event to add to your calendar? Check out the pages of this newspaper here or online at micromediapubs. com.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Letters To The Editor Tenure Lawsuit Is Bogus

Stop Pension Fees From Wall Street

Campbell Brown and her out-of-state special interest group is misleading New Jersey parents and residents about our public schools to advance their harmful political agenda. New Jersey’s seniority statute, which they seek to overturn by court order, provides an important protection to students and communities by keeping politics, and politicians, out of the decision-making process when layoffs are imposed on our public schools.

The lawsuit is premised on a lie that districts are prevented from dealing with teachers who are not willing or able to do their jobs effectively.

Tenure is difficult to obtain in New Jersey, so no teacher gets tenure without demonstrating an ability to do the job well.

Even more, the tenure law outlines a specific and fair process to remove a teacher who is ineffective at any time. What the law prevents is the sort of political interference that would be inevitable if administrators could be pressured to fire teachers without having to give a reason.

This lawsuit seeks to throw out that system of checks and balances and give unfettered freedom to fire excellent veteran teachers in favor of less experienced newer teachers who earn lower salaries.

Wendell Steinhauser NJEA President

If we eliminated Wall Street brokerage houses for pension fee transactions, we could save the over $1.3 billion paid toward the pension fund this year.

My proposal is to eliminate Wall Street brokerage houses and hire an in-house licensed broker for no more than $200,000 per year.

This year a $1.3 billion payment was made towards the pension fund and that equals two years savings eliminating Wall Street brokerage firm fees. The reason bi-partisan law makers remain silent on this issue is they are loyal to their Wall Street contributors and backers. It is a web and they are all connected.

The borrowing and spending on the pension system has earned its reputation of being a bi-partisan slush fund.

Grieve And Move Forward Lately there seems to be a chasm of division growing across our Land. During this past election cycle I have seen Facebook posts and commentaries from my fellow Americans predicting that the politicians from one side or another would be the seeds of destruction for America. But the seeds of destruction won’t come from our politicians; they always seem to find a way to peacefully sit down at the bargaining table with the opposition once the elections are over.

Seeds of destruction can only be planted and rooted by we the people, if we let it.

In American politics we tend to have seasons where, through elections and policies, we move to the right, then to the left, then back to the right again, - and on and on it goes. Our political diversity, and respecting that diversity, is our strength, it’s what makes America the greatest nation on earth – we need to learn to respect it and embrace it, and respect and embrace those who hold those differing views and stop vilifying them and those who champion their causes.

If we fail to do that we fail to carry the patriotic American spirit in our hearts, and we even

fail to truly represent Christ, or whatever other spiritual model we claim to uphold.

I will always debate policy, but after every election cycle I have called the victor “My President” regardless of whether I loved or hated their policies. I have done that since I was a little boy over 55 years ago and I will continue to do that in the future. It is what I was taught by the example of all the veterans around me. It is what I was taught by that “Greatest of Generations” which came before me (they were and are the true patriots).

To be honest, I have hated “some” of the policies of the past eight years, as some of you may have hated the policies of the eight years that came before that, but we do need to respect our fellow Americans!

The results of an election can bring the joy of a marriage or the grief of a death, depending on what side you are on. It is understandable to grieve any perceived great loss.

But grieve and then move forward.

Those who can grow and mature enough to do that now are the current generation’s patriots. Those who can’t learn to do that are un-American in heart and deed. In our daily life we are surrounded by many brave veterans who are living that example now. The courageous men and women who bravely put their lives on the line for this nation that we hold so dear. They do not weigh out the policies of any current administration before taking up arms, before jumping out of planes, before sailing dangerous enemy seas, before marching through mosquito infested swamps, before trekking across the barren hot deserts, all while knowing that some of them may not return to the Land and people that they love. Let us follow their example and become a part of the healing and unity for the future of our great nation.

Please join with me now at this time in of our nation’s struggles, bowing our heads in prayer for healing and unity. And let’s each commit ourselves to personally be an agent of that healing.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Sheriff’s Off ice has successfully complied with 105 standards and has achieved accredited status.

“I want to congratulate Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mast ronardy and the men and women of the department for successfully meeting all of the standards in order to achieve accreditation by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P.

OCEAN COUNTY – Noting the staggering statistics of cases of domestic violence, Ocean County officials formally gave their support to proposed legislation that would offer additional help to protect victims of domestic violence.

“Domestic violence knows no boundaries,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety.

“It doesn’t care how much money you make, what your

cal police departments and responding to emergencies.

“We are very proud of the work done by this office,” he said. “The accreditation confi rms its professionalism along with the skill and competence displayed by the Sheriff and his staff.”

Sheriff Mastronardy said the accreditation standards cover everything from internal affairs, ethics, training, performance evaluation, hiring practices to evidence procedures.

“Accreditation is not just a certificate,” Mastronardy said. “It clearly indicates our commitment to perform at a high level of excellence in our field as assessed by our peers nationwide.

“Accreditation results

in greater accountability within the agency, reduced risk and liability exposure, stronger defense against civil lawsuits, increased community advocacy, and more conf idence in the agency’s ability to operate efficiently and respond to community needs,” he said.

“I appreciate the hard work performed every day by the men and women of the department. It shows their concern for the safety of our citizens.”

Kelly noted that in addition to the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police aff ir ming the outstanding performance of the Sheriff’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation weighed in with a

letter praising the department’s work during the discharge of an explosive device in a trash can in Seaside Park at the beginning of a charity run in September.

“This investigation was a huge success thanks to your troops who went the extra mile – whether they were conducting witness interviews, securing the perimeter and helping our Evidence Response Team or moving tables and chairs around to stand-up a command post – their courageous service is the reason we were able to go from explosion to identification in 24 hours and then arrest in less than 48 hours,” stated Freeholder Kelly from the

letter penned by Timothy Gallagher, FBI Special Agent in Charge.

Kelly said the letter was a true testimonial to the department’s hard work and willingness to go the extra mile.

As part of the accreditation process assessors from The New Jersey State Association of the Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar New Jersey law enforcement agencies reviewed written materials, interviewed agency members, and visited offices and other places where compliance with the standards were observed.

The NJSACOP Assessors completed their review of

Freeholders Support Proposed Law To Protect Domestic Violence Victims

gender, race, religion or nationality is or where you live. Domestic violence is in every community and affects everyone.”

In an effort to provide additional protection for victims of domestic violence, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders today passed a resolution supporting legislation sponsored by state Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer that establishes a four-year pilot program in Ocean County to elec-

tronically monitor domestic violence offenders.

Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari recently brought the matter before the Board recommending it give its support to the bill (A315).

“The victims of domestic violence have been abused mentally and physically,” Vicari said. “It’s important to do all we can to strengthen laws and implement new programs that will heighten safety for the victims. They need to not only feel safe but

be safe.”

The legislation creates a pilot program that applies to defendants convicted of contempt of a domestic violence restraining order. When such a defendant is released, the court may order electronic monitoring as a condition of release. Tampering with, removing or vandalizing the device will be a third degree crime which carries a three to five year prison sentence and a fine up to $15,000.

Assemblyman Dancer of the

12th Legislative District has said that while the technology exists, no other states currently electronically monitor people convicted of domestic violence or who violate restraining orders. He said the bill has the potential to make New Jersey a leader in using technology to protect people from being re-victimized.

The Freeholders sent the supporting resolution to Gov. Chris Christie and legislators in the 9th, 10th, 12th and 30th state Legislative Districts.

the agency, and reported to the full Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission which unanimously decided, to reaccredit the Ocean County Sheriff’s Off ice on Oct. 13. The reaccreditation is valid for the next three years. The Ocean County Sheriff’s Office originally received its initial accreditation in May 2013.

The Sheriff’s Department accreditation manager is Lt. Craig Johnson.

“Everyone did an outstanding job in working to meet the standards which is a daily practice here,” Mastronardy said. “Our citizens can rest assure this is a well-trained and accountable sheriff’s office.”

“In the United States, an average of 20 people are physically abused by intimate partners every minute,” Director Kelly said. “That equates to more than 10 million abuse victims annually.

“Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato and his staff work diligently to make certain those committing this heinous crime are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Kelly said. “This legislation is another way to help the victims.”

Students Honor Veterans

–Photo courtesy Plumsted Township School District Dr. Gerald H. Woehr Elementary students participated in an assembly to honor local veterans.

NEW EGYPT – Dr. Gerald H. Woehr Elementary students participated in an assembly on November 8 to honor local veterans and kick off their third annual “Thank you to a Veteran” project.

This project encourages students to show their respect for veterans by reaching out to say thank you on Veterans Day to all those who have served through phone calls, emails or texts.

The assembly precedes this project in educating the students first hand with the history of the personal stories of those who have served and are serving in addition to the founding of Veterans Day. Those in attendance were the Honor Guard,

service men and women from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and Veterans of family members of students and staff. Students listened attentively as Veterans from all five branches of service shared their experiences, responsibilities and reasons they felt called to serve.

The chorus led the school in singing our National Anthem and other patriotic songs.

Students then personally shook the hands of the veterans thanking them for their service.

Each student received an American Flag as a reminder of the great freedom we have as a result of the sacrifices made by veterans. Second graders then lined the front of the school with American Flags in honor of those who served.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Watching Out For Your Ears Four Winter Hearing Aid Tips Are you winter ready? From colder temperatures, moisture, and seasonal viruses to sports events, snowmobiles, and snowball fights, Jack Frost can dish out a host of challenges for your ears and your hearing aids. With just a few simple steps, however, you’ve got this. See how easy it is to seize the fun and excitement of the season while keeping your ears and hearing technology safe and sound.

Watch Out for Noise Heading out for a hunting trip, a hockey game, or some snowblowing chores? Don’t forget the hearing protection. More than 31 million Americans ages 6 to 69 have hearing loss related to noise, one of the most preventable causes. Well-fitting earplugs, headphones, or earmuffs help deaden excessively loud sounds and can even be customized to your ears.

Stay Warm and Dry Keeping chilly air and water off your ears is more than just a comfort issue. Overexposure to severe cold, wind, or moisture could cause problems such as exostosis, an abnormal bone growth in the ear canal that can lead to blockage, infections, and hearing loss.

Take cover with a hat and scarf or earmuffs

in especially cold conditions, and consider customized earplugs if your activities involve water.

Beware of Ear Infections With cold and flu season — as well as the customary cooler temps — comes the increased risk of ear infection for children and adults. Reducing the risk of flu or cold helps curb the chance of getting an ear infection. Flu vaccine and handwashing can go a long way toward prevention, but be sure to seek medical attention if you experience an ear infection.

Protect Your Hearing Aids Just like your ears, your hearing technology is vulnerable to winter elements including wind, precipitation, and cold weather. Wearing a hat, scarf, or earmuffs helps protect your devices — including the batteries — from the elements. Removing the batteries at night and leaving the battery door open also help cut down on potential moisture and maintain battery life.

If your winter fun includes outdoor activities or exposure to noise, extreme cold, or moisture, call us to learn more about custom hearing protection or accessories to protect your hearing aids such as an electronic dehumidifier.

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.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

How To Make Your Immune System Fight For You

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m willing to bet you have been sick in the past and experienced a runny nose and congestion, sneezing, fever/chills or body aches. All you can do is treat the symptoms and hope your immune system fights for you. FYI, taking antibiotics won’t help. Your immune system strength (not the germ itself ) directly inf luences how bad you feel and how long you suffer.

Vitamin D levels are lower during the winter months so it’s no coincidence that cold and f lu outbreaks happen during wintertime. Shockingly, even spending our summer days in a big city where tall buildings block the sun’s rays and lead to deficiencies of the sunshine vitamin.

Vitamin D is a media darling. Time Magazine even lists D among its ‘Top Ten Medical Breakthroughs.’ Despite the name, “vitamin D” behaves more like a hormone than a vitamin. In an American study of 198 healthy adults, researchers found that individuals with blood concentrations of 38 ng/ml or more of vitamin D enjoyed a two-fold reduction in the risk of catching cold, and were able to get back to work faster.

I recommend even higher levels, closer to 60 ng/ml.

Allow me to brief you on what may very well be vitamin D’s most exciting role yet. We all have both an adaptive and an innate immune system. The branch of our immune system that ‘remembers’ specific attackers so that it can mount a faster defense next time an encounter is made, is called the “adaptive” immune system.

Vitamin D helps our adaptive immune system by boosting our T cells, a type of white blood cell that patrols around our bodies like soldiers, ready to destroy any infected or cancerous cells they come across. Researchers in Denmark made a truly incredible connection. For T cells to be able to activate themselves and mount an attack, vitamin D must be present. Without adequate vitamin D, our T cells are like sleeping soldiers, virtually incapable of defending us. This research suggests that perhaps we can retrain your immune system to prevent it from being so reactive and hyper, translating to a lower risk for cold and f lu, and obviously fewer auto-immune assaults.

Ad e q u at e Vit a m i n D help s you r immune cells manufacture your own natural antibiotic-like substance called cathelicidin, which destroys all sorts of ‘bugs’ as they’re encountered. This activity supports your innate immune system. By the way, your innate system is your first line of defense against pathogens of all sorts so if you get sick a lot, this is the part of your immune system that you should focus on.

Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency may lead to fatigue, weakness, bone or muscle pain, fractures, cracked teeth, ar rhy th mias, winter time depression and autoim mu ne f lare ups. Cer tain cancers are also associated with low D. In my humble opinion, Vitamin D3 is an affordable way to keep your immune system in tip-top shape, it’s easy to test levels and the supplement is sold pretty much everywhere.

Inside The Law Preparing To See An Attorney About A New Estate Plan

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates You have put it off as long as you could, but now the day of has arrived. It is time to see your attorney about preparing a new will and other estate planning documents. As the day draws near, you ask yourself, what should I bring to the meeting? How long will it take?

What should I expect? How soon will I be able to actually sign my new documents?

In our office we make an initial interview for one of our attorneys to meet with you to discuss your estate planning needs. The initial interview takes about one hour. After the initial interview, we will then prepare the documents necessary to carry out your estate plan and mail those documents to you for your review. This usually takes two weeks after the interview. Of course, the time frames vary by the complexity of the documents and whether there is an emergent need. This is the time for you to make sure the documents say what you want and that the names of the person in the documents are correct. If any changes are needed or there is anything in the documents which you do not understand, you should call the attorney’s office. Usually at this point the date for the signing is confirmed. On the date of signing, you will come to our office to sign the documents. The actual signing should take less than 30 minutes.

What should you bring to the initial interview?

You should bring any existing estate planning documents you have and the names and addresses of those people who will be named in your documents. If you wish to leave money to a charity, please provide information from that charity showing its correct name and address.

In addition, you should bring enough of your financial information so that the attorney can determine your financial net worth. This will help the attorney to determine whether you will

have any death tax issues, as well as having an idea of how your assets should be distributed.

It is not necessary to bring along every financial statement that you have. Rather, having knowledge of each financial account (such as bank accounts, brokerage accounts, mutual funds, etc.), the name on the account and the amount in the account is sufficient. For real estate, you should know its current value as well as the outstanding mortgage balance, if any. For insurance policies, you should know the amount of the policy and the names of the beneficiaries.

Prior to the initial interview, you should consider how you would want your assets distributed upon your passing. In most cases it will probably be to your spouse, if one exists, and then to your children and their children. You should take into consideration the possibility that one of the persons named in your will may pass away before you. You should also consider whether you wish to make gifts of personal items or money to specific persons.

You should consider who you would want to be the executor of you will. If you have children under the age of 18, you will want to consider who you will name as guardian to take care of them until they reach 18 and who you want as trustee to take handle the assets until they are old enough to handle it themselves.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

When You Find Your Medicine You Take What You Can Get Dear Readers As you know my usual format is to pick and choose from my inbox and bring to you letters that I think will be most interesting.

This week I will deviate from my norm by generalizing. I receive so much mail regarding the following, I feel that I am answering many letters at once.

I’ve received hundreds of letters over the last year similar to this. People either personally or through a relative are being given wrong medications or incorrect dosages of medications that they were or were not prescribed.

Throughout the healthcare world, of which I am very familiar, this is known as a “med error.” Although it does happen in hospitals and other places that healthcare is delivered, it is most common in your own home. People who take care of themselves often double up, skip, or substitute older medications. As you know by now, I am president of Preferred Home Health Care. One of the rules in home healthcare is that a registered nurse must prepare medication. Most people, however, do not need a nurse to pour their medication.

Here are a few tips to help prevent any problems for those who are taking their medications by themselves.

1. Line up every medication that you should be taking.

2. Look for the following things: Your name (don’t laugh; it happens), the doctors’ names, the dosage and daily prescription.

3. Do not take your medication out of a bot-

tle day by day.

Instead prepare a week of medication. I prefer not to use a day and night box that is built as one. I do recommend that you color code two kits, one for day and one for night. Yellow or light blue works well for morning and a deeper color to represent night. For those who need to take medications more than twice a day, adjust the above by buying three or four individual set ups. It’s bulkier but safer.

For those who are on a limited budget, you can use egg cartons from the supermarket (not my favorite choice but it does work.)

If you can, have someone in the house review what you have done. Once again, an RN would be great, but not always practical.

I like setting up medication on Sundays if possible.

Take all the bottles and put them away so that you don’t accidentally reach into the bottle out of habit. This will prevent accidental double ups.

Prepare a list, and keep it on your person or somewhere visible should an emergency occur.

Children:

Continued From Page 1 teacher, worked at the Preventorium in the late 1950s as a young adult and shared her first-hand experiences.

The Preventorium was organized primarily for the care of poorly nourished, under-fed children who were exposed to tuberculosis, she said. The children involved in this institution did not actually have tuberculosis but were at risk. Many of the children came from poor families, mostly from the cities. Early on there were mostly younger children, infants to two years old, but that changed over the years as teenagers were added.

“When I was working there, the oldest was 16. I was a big 18 and I’m looking up at these kids and these kids are streetwise, they’re out of Harlem. So they’re looking down at me using the whole full-scale language and I’m growing up in Farmingdale,” said Brandl, who said despite the geographic differences she forged close, long-term relationships with many of the children.

“One of my little girls, I still write to her. It’s one of those blessings you take with you,” said Brandl.

The Preventorium was essentially sponsored by New York clinics, public and private funds. When children were sent to the Preventorium in Howell or another residential area, their homes would be inspected every six months.

“They would go back to their parents. That was the ultimate goal was being able to put them back with their parents, but so many of them were unfortunately into a drug situation or victims or circumstances. They were doing what they believed they could do to provide for their family. Some did go back and they would follow up,” said Brandl.

The program begin amid widespread tuberculosis deaths nationwide: in 1908, more than 150,000 died of tuberculosis. In 1909, Nathan Strauss, a Lakewood philanthropist, and Marcus M. Marks organized a board of directors consisting of leading physicians and prominent men and women.

On July 2, 1909 the Open-Camp Cleveland Cottage was opened to accommodate 40 children.

These children had contact with tuberculosis, most likely through one of their parents.

According to Brandl, “when unfriendly conditions” and “local opposition developed” the board of directors looked for a new location. Brandl

likened this to contemporary issues facing Howell.

“So people weren’t comfortable with this type of setting in their neighborhood. How many of you can think of things that are going on today, it didn’t change a whole lot. ‘Not in my back yard’ was exactly what it was,” said Brandl.

Arthur Brisbane offered the board of directors a 170 acre farm located near Farmingdale, seven miles north of Lakewood. Strauss and the board accepted and opened the Preventorium on Preventorium Road.

The children were transferred to a small, remodeled farm house (for temporary use) on April 28, 1910. Opening day for the $150,000 Tuberculosis Preventorium For Children included then Governor Woodrow Wilson, the Bishop from Trenton and Marcus M. Marks, the president of the institution.

By 1914, there were 200 children from 120 different families living at the Preventorium. In 1915, a nursery was added to accommodate a dozen infants, called the “infantorium.” The infants stayed about one year before being relocated, adopted or fostered.

The Preventorium’s primary objectives were

“mental invigoration of the children and the improvement of their physical condition and the stimulating effect of the open air school.”

Essentially get the children a lot of fresh air and exercise to help prevent tuberculosis. Later, with the innovation in antibiotic medicine, preventoriums became dated.

Brandl also described the different perceptions locals had to the Preventorium and tuberculosis.

“This was at that time when tuberculosis was so serious of a condition, something that people were very concerned about. But yet, ‘not in my back yard,’” said Brandl.

In November 1962, the name of the Preventorium was changed to Child Care Center. In 1969, the Preventorium closed its doors all the residents were placed in their own homes, foster homes, adopted or other facilities, which included the infamous Willowbrook.

In January 1970, Brandl’s husband Alex was the last worker out of the institution and his final responsibility was to burn the photographs, registries and records. He did not burn everything and Brandl presented a lot of material from the facility to the dozen or so in attendance at the library event.

Students and tutors meet at a location convenient to both, such as a local library.

Location is determined by student and tutor.

The staff will guide volunteers through the necessary steps to become a tutor by providing 15 hours of training, matching volunteers with a student whose learning needs fit their abilities, and supporting them in working with their student.

For more information, contact the Ocean County office at 732-864-9646.

Library To Screen Documentary On The Impact Of Digital World

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library will screen the documentary “Screenagers” in December. The documentary explores the vulnerable corners of family life, social media, video game and Internet addiction.

“Screenagers” reveals insights concerning the amount of time young people and adults spend on their respective devices. It also provides parents solutions on how young people can be empowered to best navigate the digital world.

The 68-minute documentary examines the impact of the time the average teen spends daily looking at screens not including homework. That total is a shocking 6.5 hours. The documentary also examines the way screen use is affecting concentration, development and family relationships. A discussion will follow the screening.

Bestselling author Dave Egger, who wrote the memoir “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius” described the film saying it “is a very balanced, sympathetic

and sane look at the way millions of teens are struggling with phones and games and technology in general. Screenagers is deeply affecting, too.”

The documentary will be screened at the Plumsted Branch, 119 Evergreen Rd., at 6:30 p.m. on December 12.; Little Egg Harbor Branch, 290 Mathistown Road., at 6:30 p.m. on December 13; and the Barnegat Branch, 112 Burr St., at 6:30 p.m. on December 14.

This free program is funded through a community collaboration involving the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, Ocean County Youth Services Commission, Ocean County Health Department, New Jersey Superior Court Probation Juvenile Supervision, Municipal Alliance Project, NJ Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and the Ocean County Library.

Registration is required. To register call the branch or visit theoceancountylibrary.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of dECEMBER 10-December 16.

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be prompted to work harder and more efficiently than usual in the week to come.

You tend to display confidence even if you do not possess the requisite skills or experience.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Silence is golden but knowledge is platinum.

As this week unfolds gather information before you tackle new projects or tasks.

Just because something seems easy doesn’t mean it is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The higher you climb the harder it is to cling to the ladder. Your ambitious nature may put you in a precarious position in the week ahead.

Be prepared for all possible contingencies.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may become serious about adding structure and organizing your financial affairs. Avoid beginning new projects, making major purchases or taking the initiative in the week ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Work hard but don’t be hard hearted. As this week unfolds you may become more creative about achieving your ambitions but some influential people may find your actions callous and calculating.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before you lay down the law consider the consequences. It is said that if guns were outlawed, then outlaws would be the only people with guns. Think before issuing mandates in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Diplomacy is the key to making your week ahead less challenging. Tensions can be easily soothed through a mere kind word or two.

Maintain a positive attitude and use good judgment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is a good week to keep your money in your wallet and the credit card in the drawer.

Be businesslike and above reproach at the workplace. A partner may have some great ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It could be stressful to be successful in the week to come. There could be a domino effect that causes a crucial tile to fall if you overreact to criticism or a temporary family crisis.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stick to safe, sound and conservative principles in the week to come. Don’t give your heart or money away impulsively. You can blind to facts or only hear what you want to hear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A penny saved is a penny that does not jeopardize your financial security. You might let your attraction to fads rule your head in the upcoming week. Avoid making impulsive purchases.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you aim for fame you risk losing the game. In the week ahead you may get more than your fair share of attention or end up in the public eye, especially if you do something wrong.

Take Away Holiday Hassles With A Quick Pot Of Chicken Soup

By Wolfgang Puck

‘Tis the season to feel stressed out.

At least, that’s how too many people feel about December. Suddenly, there are too many gifts to buy, too many parties to plan and cook for, too many cookies to bake, too many errands to run, too much food to eat. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: too many pounds to gain.

Yes, the holiday season can be, and most often is, a joyous time. But, if you aren’t careful, the month’s demands can sometimes take their toll. That’s why I always try to plan regular breaks during the coming month for quiet family time and exercise. I also like to make sure that I include some simple, home-style dinners that are not only comforting but also light and healthy.

For me, one of the smartest comfort foods of all is chicken soup. Just sipping it spoonful by spoonful causes you to slow down, reflect, get back in touch with what’s important and let needless distractions fall away. Like all good food, it also draws the family together.

And chicken soup really does nourish the body, especially when you make it the healthy way I do, using low-sodium broth, skinless chicken pieces and lots of vegetables.

But, you might be wondering, how is it possible to make chicken soup during this busy time of year when the best versions rely on slow simmering?

Fortunately, the answer can be found in many kitchens, or can be purchased inexpensively as an early holiday gift: the electric pressure cooker.

Pressure cookers are perfect for making great chicken soup. In fact, many professional kitchens rely on them nowadays for making stock. Cooking under pressure reduces from hours to minutes the time it takes to coax maximum flavor from soup ingredients. And there’s another bonus: The pressure also prevents the formation of froth and other impurities that sometimes cloud soups. So you’ll get rich-tasting, crystal-clear results.

I like to prepare my pressure cooker chicken soup in two stages. First, I cook the chicken in good-quality canned low-sodium broth, simultaneously enhancing the taste of meat and broth.

Then, after releasing pressure following manufacturer’s instructions, I remove the chicken and let it cool slightly so I can bone and cut it up while I quickly pressure-cook the vegetables for the brief time it takes them to turn tender.

All that remains is to adjust seasonings to taste and serve the soup. If you like, you can add some cooked rice or noo-

dles to make it a meal in a bowl.

You’ll be amazed by the results. And I predict you’ll fi nd that this easy soup helps you stay happier and healthier throughout the festive season.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH PARSNIPS, CARROTS, CELERY AND LEEKS Serves 8 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) skinless chicken thighs and legs 10 cups (2.5 L) good-quality canned low-sodium chicken broth 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed Freshly ground black pepper 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) dice 2 medium parsnips, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) dice 2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch (12mm) dice 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch (12mm) dice 1 large leek, white and light green parts only, quartered lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed under cold running water, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 2 tablespoons mixed chopped Italian parsley, fresh chervil leaves, and chives, for garnish 4 cups (1 L) cooked white rice or small egg noodles, optional 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, for garnish In a pressure cooker, combine the chicken, broth, salt and pepper to taste.

Attach the lid and bring to full pressure; then, cook under pressure for 20 minutes.

Release the pressure. Remove the chicken thighs and legs, leaving the liquid in the pressure cooker, and set them aside on a plate or in a bowl to cool slightly.

Add the carrots, parsnips, celery, onion and leeks to the pressure cooker. Secure the lid, bring back to full pressure, then cook under pressure for 5 minutes.

When the chicken thighs and legs are just cool enough to handle, remove and discard the bones and any fat and cartilage. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. As soon as the vegetables are done, release the pressure, remove the lid, and stir the chicken pieces into the soup. Taste the broth and adjust the seasonings, if necessary.

If you like, divide the rice or noodles among individual heated bowls or soup plates.

Ladle the soup into the bowls or plates.

Garnish each serving with some of the mixed fresh herbs and the dill.
