–Photo by Patricia A. Miller John C. Bartlett Jr. was lauded for his work expanding the county park system. By Patricia A. Miller BERKELEY – A frail, but joyful Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. gratefully acknowledged the dedication of Berkeley Island County Park in his name at a ceremony at the park off Barnegat Bay.
Bartlett, the longest serving freeholder in New Jersey, called the renaming of the park in his honor the “capstone” of his nearly 40-year career. “I thank you all for this tremendous honor you have given me,”
he told the crowd that attended the ceremony. “I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” The park has now been renamed the John C. Bartlett Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island. It’s (Legacy - See Page 5)

Lacey Schools Add Class III Special Officers
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – Lacey Township School District has just received more Class III Special Officers, according to Chief Michael DiBella. “Since becoming the Chief of Police in 2016, one of my top priorities has been enhancing the safety
and security of our schools, students, and staff,” stated DiBella. Since that time, DiBella noted that he joined forces with members of the Lacey Township School Board and Lacey Township Committee to make some (Officers - See Page 4)
By Kimberly Bosco BARNEGAT – As phase one of the Barnegat 67 project finished up, Extell Development announced that phase two will soon break ground. The company has already opened it up to pre-leasing for the retail spaces. If you have driven past the construction site on Lighthouse Drive, you might have noticed the area is looking more complete each day. According to Extell, the entirety of phase one’s 50,000 square feet has been fully leased prior to opening. You can already see signs making their way to the façade of the building, such as Dollar Tree, which celebrated its grand opening in September. Various social media posts by locals have signaled the start to construction on the stand-alone Dunkin’ Donuts that will be on site as well. Jersey Shore Online reported back in April on the progress of Barnegat 67, stating that the first phase was expected to be complete at the end of this year. AVP of Development at Extell, Moshe Botnick, stated at the time that the space will likely see a Planet Fitness center, a Dollar Tree, a physical therapy center, an urgent care facility, and various restaurants for Asian, Italian, pizza, as well as a café; all this, in addition to 75 luxury age-restricted apartments. He now confirms that locals can expect: • Susskind Almallah Eye Associates • BSR Physical Therapy • Planet Fitness As well as dining options: (Project - See Page 4)

Stationed at Lacey High School, SRO Detective Charles May is tasked with providing safety and security to students and staff. “In a continued effort to enhance security this past year, the Lacey Township Police Department and the Lacey Township Board of Education worked together to hire and place Class III Special Law Enforcement Officers in our school district,” added DiBella. In August 2018, three Class III Special officers were added to the district in-

cluding Officer Michael Caputo, Officer Robert Johnson, and Officer Rogerio (Roger) Santos. Officer Caputo is a retired Chief of Police from the Tuckerton Borough Police Department. Caputo has 30 years’ experience in law enforcement, and is a graduate of West Point Command and Leadership School, an instructor at the Ocean County Police Academy, a fi rearms instructor and a past President of the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association. Officer Johnson is a retired officer from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. Serving as a long-time member of the SWAT Team, Johnson was assigned to both the Warrants Division and the Crime Scene Unit. Prior to this he was a police dispatcher for the Berkeley Town-
ship Police Department and a member of the United States Navy. Off icer Santos is a retired off icer from the Belleville Police Department. During his 21 years of service, he was primarily assigned to the patrol division. Prior to working for the Belleville Police Department, Santos was an officer in Newark. He was also a member of the United States Marines where he received an award for being an expert rif leman. “All three of these officers have quickly become assets to Lacey Township,” stated the chief. In addition to these three, Officer Stephen Russell was added to the district as another Class III Special Officer as of Oct. 25. Officer Russell is a retired police sergeant from the Toms River
Township Police Department. Since the addition of the Class III Officers, SRO Detective Charles May has been assigned as the SRO for all six schools in the district and the primary instructor for the LEAD Program (Law Enforcement Against Drugs) at the Mill Pond School. Not only does Lacey now boast four Class III officers and an SRO, but it also employs two retired officers as armed security to enhance safety and security of students and staff. “The Lacey Township Police Department and the Lacey Township Board of Education will continue working together to further enhance the safety and security of our students and staff,” DiBella said.
near future, Extell reported that it will “welcome additional commercial tenants to occupy the remaining 50,000 square feet of retail space, serving as an extension of the residential amenities available at the 13-acre complex.” The site now shows one half of the project as nearly complete; this building is located directly adjacent to the CVS and across from the Wawa, located on Lighthouse Drive off of West Bay Avenue. Adjacent
to this, further down Lighthouse, the site remains empty; awaiting the ground breaking. “We are excited to be delivering a vibrant complex that will offer a seamless and convenient lifestyle for future residents and also serve as a new dining and shopping destination for Ocean County locals by the end of this year,” said Botnick. Once phase two is complete, residents will have 100,000 square feet of new retail
options close to home, 151 new age-restricted living spaces, 20,000 square feet of programmed indoor-outdoor rooftop amenities, as well as a 10,000 square foot public plaza, according to Extell. The outdoor public plaza will be a place for locals to gather for various activities, programs, and shopping. The developer noted that it will be equipped with an amphitheater for community programming and shaded seating for dining.

Continued From Page 1 located at the end of Brennan Concourse, accessible from Harbor Inn Road. Several hundred people, including local and state officials attended the dedication, which was capped with the unveiling of the new county park sign. The weather cooperated. Skies were blue and clear, temperatures were mild and a brisk wind blew off Barnegat Bay. The 71-year-old freeholder has been fighting colorectal cancer since last year. This August, he announced at a board meeting that his health prevented him from running for another term on the board. He said he would step down when his term expires at the end of December. He walked with a cane and with the help of his wife Peggy on his way up to the podium. And while many speakers lauded his efforts, Bartlett, who serves as liaison to the county department of parks and recreation, said he couldn’t have done it alone. The park was born on May 29, 1983, under Bartlett’s supervision. It was closed for almost six long years, after Superstorm Sandy slammed into the park on Oct. 29, 2012 and virtually destroyed it. The park reopened on May 23, in part thanks to Bartlett’s efforts. He was almost giddy that day. He even tried out the new
splash park, the only one of its kind in Ocean County. Berkeley Mayor Carmen F. Amato Jr. said Bartlett had helped “a rookie mayor” tremendously with the park after Superstorm Sandy. “He helped Berkeley get through the worst natural disaster,” Amato said. “We are very honored to have this park in Berkeley Township.” Freeholder John P. Kelly said his first job was at Berkeley Island County Park many years ago, when Bartlett was the liaison to the department. “You have done a fantastic job and we appreciate it so much,” Kelly said, choking up. “Thank you for all you have done.” Bartlett called himself “a very lucky man.” “I couldn’t have done it without my wife Peggy,” he said. The couple have been married for 46 years. They have a son and a daughter and four much loved children, who Bartlett called the “light of my life.” He was also grateful that his voice, which vanished recently and left him only able to speak in a whisper, had returned. “The good Lord gave me my voice back,” he said. He posed for pictures with his wife, family and officials after his comments, then left shortly after.

Toms River Halloween Parade Marks 80th Anniversary By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – For 80 years the streets of downtown Toms River have been home to zombies, vampires, werewolves and all manner of monsters for what is known as the second largest Halloween parade in the world. Floats, bands, various organizations from all over the county and the state flock to the event each year for the special event coordinated by the members of Toms River Fire Company No. 1. The fire company was founded in 1896. The parade was cancelled in 2012 due to the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. High School bands from Toms River, Manchester and Central Regional, county agencies and scouting organizations were among those that returned to the tradition
which had judges award first and second places in a variety of categories. As per tradition, spectators lined up south of Highland Parkway and on Washington and Main streets hours before the 7 p.m. startup time to place a chair for viewing. Carl Weingroff has served as the fire company’s parade chairman for many years and he was busy throughout the day. Ken Beck, a firefighter and member of the fire company was busy assisting Weingroff for the effort. “The parade involves multiple organizations, fundraisers and Carl should be commended for his work in making this parade so well organized. “I’m from Toms River, born and raised and I’m very proud of what Toms River and our fire company has done in making this such a fun day for so many years. I used to come and watch this parade but I now enjoy working it and watching its growth,” Beck said. Mayor Thomas F. Kelaher stated, “This year Toms River Township is celebrating its 80th Halloween Parade. It is a great township tradition that is enjoyed by Ghouls and zombies are always popular among parade spectators. both participants

If you are a fan of marching bands and creative costumes and floats, you would not want to miss it.” The mayor said prior to the parade that he could not “wait to see the surprises the parade has in store this year.” Carly Voinski, Stafford Township, dressed as a slice of pepperoni pizza as she assisted fellow members of the Wellspring Church’s booth which was distributing free hot chocolate and water on Washington Street. “We have 30 members of the church marching in the parade as well and right now other members are handing out glow sticks. This is our third year to be in this parade but our first since our church moved to our new home on

36 Washington Street. We’re really happy to be a part of downtown Toms River.” Anthony Barbara had a prime spot along Washington Street sitting beside his mother Carol Barbara. “My daughter Lexi, who is marching in the parade with the Toms River High School band, is a senior and I’ve been traveling here for this for the last four years.” This year Barbara dressed up as his own character, Dr. Phineas Xavir, a time traveler whose best friend Herbert, happens to be a skeleton who whispers to him as he clings to his back. “I do something different each year.” (Parade - See Page 12)

LACEY – There will be three curbside leaf collection cycles this Fall. The first pickup cycle will begin on Tuesday, November 13. The second pickup cycle will begin on Monday, November 26. The third cycle will begin on Monday, December 10. All leaves must be placed at curbside at the start of each cycle. It will take the township approximately two weeks to complete each cycle. Leaves must be placed in trash bags or containers no larger than 32 gallons and weighing no more than 50 pounds. While we are encouraging environmental friendly biodegradable bags, plastic will be accepted. There is no limit to the number of bags that may be placed at curbside for pickup. All leaf bags will be collected. Do not mix any debris into leaf bags or containers. Leaf bags or containers mixed with debris or garbage will not be collected. Do not rake leaves into a pile at curbside and
do not rake them into the street. Violation Notices will be issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. Please place your leaf bags/containers separate from your garbage or recycling cans so as not to confuse the two. Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions: • Pine needles are considered the leaf of the Pine Tree, and therefore should be included with leaf pickup. • Twigs, acorns, and pine cones are considered vegetative debris and should be put out for trash pickup. • The Leaf Collection Program will not be extended. • Leaves set out after final collection on December 10 must be brought into the Recycling Center during normal operating hours: Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. - 3:45 p.m.

Ocean Twp. Police Participate In “Movember”
OCEAN – The Ocean Township Police Department is announcing our participation in the No Shave November (Movember) campaign. Officers and Police Department employees will, if they voluntarily choose to, make a donation to cancer research and male suicide awareness. Officers participating will begin a month long journey to forgo shaving to raise money and awareness to support cancer prevention, research and education. Residents of Ocean Township will find some of their police officers to be a little on the “Hairy Side” during the month of November. For example a resident might notice uniformed police officers sporting beards or mustaches, all in the name of fighting cancer. Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments,
and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides annual check-ups, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of family history of cancer and to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Movember is also active in raising awareness to mental health. Around 1 in 4 adults in the United States will experience a mental health problem in a given year. Ocean Township Police Officers are making a monetary donation in addition to raising awareness with their “whiskers”. Ocean Township PBA #371 is matching donations of all officers to try and make as large a donation as we can. We encourage you all to grow your best mustaches or beards too in November and join us in our fight against Cancer!

THE GUT-RETINA AXIS
While it’s too soon to draw clear-cut conclusions, researchers believe that a “lowglycemic diet” (which helps reduce blood sugar levels, assists with weight loss, and lowers the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes) may be associated with changes in gut bacteria that improve the health of the retina. This would be important news for anyone who wants to prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which alters the central portion of the retina (macula). According to laboratory research, a low-glycemic diet (relatively rich in slowly digested whole grains) proved to be more effective in reducing changes in the retina that are characteristic of AMD than a high-glycemic diet (containing rapidly digested carbohydrates). This link is sure to be explored further. Spinach and kale are full of plant pigments that can help stem the development of macular degeneration and cataracts. Broccoli, peas, and avocados are also good sources of this powerful antioxidant duo. At our office you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

P.S. The human intestines are filled with bacteria that can have helpful (and harmful) influences on health by influencing the release of chemical substances known as “metabolites,” some of which appear to protect the retina from damage.

“He has always been very creative,” Carol Barbara added. For the Duffner family, it was their fi rst time to enjoy the parade. Lauren and Michael Duffner were seated on Washington Street beside their children, Austin, 12 months old, Nicole, 7 and Samantha, 9. “We’ve lived in town for two or three years but we’ve never come out for this until now,” Michael Duffner said. Nelson Martins was busy placing a warm blanket over his 5-year-old daughter Brianna, who was dressed as a princess. The two would be watching the parade closely awaiting his wife Kaitlyn and his other daughter, Lina, 7, who were marching with two Girl Scout Troops. “It is a tradition. We moved here two years ago and this is our
second time at the parade,” Martins said. The township’s home-grown celebrity, Sondra Fortunato was among the returning participants in the parade. Fortunato is known as the community’s ambassador of fun and among her many titles is Miss Liberty. She wore her tiara and sash as she road on a float covered with banners and signs. Members of the Scheiderman family were curious if Fortunato would be returning for this year’s parade. Friends and family enjoyed a Halloween party and had a perfect viewing spot for the parade at their Main Street apartment. In years past the Toms River based Clear Cable 8 (now Comcast) broadcast the event live. Now Toms River School’s Channel 21’s Facebook channel has that honor streaming it live. The parade is now broadcast on television later in the week.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Secondhand Smoke – It Is Bad For Your Hearing Health, Too We all know that smoking is bad for our health. Typically, we think of lung cancer, heart disease or asthma as the closely associated effects of long-term tobacco smoking, but a new study conducted by New York University School of Medicine found that, “Teenagers exposed to tobacco smoke may also have significant hearing loss – and not even know it.” The study participants – ages 12 to 19 – were tested for two specific things: The amount of a tobacco related chemical in their blood called Cotinine and for severity of hearing loss in the low, mid and high frequencies. The Results; They May Surprise You What the researches discovered was astounding. The children who lived in a smoking household were twice as likely to develop hearing difficulty compared to a child from a non-smoking home. The higher the level of the Cotinine found in their blood, the higher the child’s risk of developing a hearing loss. Some children with especially high levels of Cotinine were
at three times the risk for hearing loss. Many of the teens in the study were found to have a measurable hearing loss, yet none of them were aware of it. Their youth and the gradual nature of hearing loss made their experiences almost undetectable. This inability to communicate effectively can lead to social problems at school and poor performance in the classroom, making regular hearing screenings for young people as necessary as regular dental checks. Encourage Them To Get Their Hearing Tested Dr. Izzy would encourage you to have your children or grandchildren’s hearing screened so we can make sure that everyone you love is living a life with better hearing. If your children or grandchildren are listening to loud music via MP3 players or iPods, you will be happy to know that we specialize in custom earbuds that are molded to fit their ears perfectly, offering a better acoustic seal and the ability to enjoy a richer music experience at a lower volume.
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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

5 Health Benefits Of White Sage And How To Use It
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. White sage is known botanically as Salvia apiana and can be purchased in a bundle and you can also drink it as a tea. This plant has impressive medicinal properties and is used in many wellness rituals. I think some people mistakenly assume you can get high off it, but you can’t. I also want to emphasize this is a medicinal herb for everyone, and it’s not just for new agers, and its benefits were put on Earth for all to utilize. Sage is just like every other herbal remedy you’ve heard of. You can take herbs as a dietary supplement (think ginger, Echinacea or dandelion)… you can drink tea from the plant (think chamomile or coffee), or you can apply an herb as a compress (think of calendula). You can distill plants and inhale their essential oils, think of lavender or peppermint. It’s all medicine! I’m just giving you a new way to extract the medicine from a plant, by burning it, and this practice is referred to as smudging. Here are 5 benefits of white sage: Treats Sinus Infections: You can inhale the aroma given off a burning white sage bundle for a few minutes, or you can drink it as a tea. However you do it, it’s the compound called “eucalyptol” also known as 1,8-cineole that when inhaled, reduces painful sinus inflammation. It may kill the associated pathogens too! That’s pretty amazing considering the side effects of prescribed antibiotics and antihistamines. 2. Calms a Sore Throat: Sage leaf tea is a proven strategy for alleviating a sore throat, at least according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Guide. Sage tea as you know will reduce mucous secretions of the
sinuses, throat, and lungs. 3. Relieves Menstrual Pain: White sage tea might provide relief from menstrual period cramps and possibly some symptoms of menopause like sweating and hot flashes. This benefit occurs because sage contains phytoestrogens, which are plant-derived estrogens. 4. Provides Cleansing Energy: Sage is kind of like an eraser, it will help remove the day’s burdens and ease emotional suffering. It may help with mild anxiety or depression. Smudging is the quickest way because when you inhale, the compounds go straight to your bloodstream and brain. Just FYI, the practice of burning herbs (aka smudging) is a non-religious one. You’re just burning plant leaves rather than swallowing the supplement. If you’d like, you can certainly pray while you burn the medicine. 5. Cleans the Air: Burning the embers of sage (aka smudging) in a room is helpful if someone is sick. My tip is designed to clean a room where someone has been coughing or sneezing from pneumonia, or influenza for example… and you desire to clear the air space of these germs so you don’t catch it too. If you work in nursing homes, clinics or hospitals, you might want to go home and smudge yourself to help deter infection from pathogens that hitched a ride on your clothes. Research has found that burning sage for an hour reduced the levels of bacteria in the air by 94 percent, and this benefit lasted for 24 hours. If you don’t want to burn it, drinking sage tea is an option. You can make your own white sage tea, or buy a commercially prepared form at health food stores and online.

OHI Reminds Patients of the Importance of Measles Vaccine
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – After a case of the measles was officially confirmed by the county and state health departments recently, Ocean Health Initiatives, Inc., (OHI) is reminding residents about the measles vaccine. The case of measles was discovered in Ocean County between Oct. 13 and Oct. 21. As a Federally-Qualified Health Center, OHI is now stressing the importance of getting your vaccine. “The Measles is a highly contagious virus that is spread through the air, (i.e., coughing and sneezing) and by direct contact with infectious droplets,” stated OHI. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms start to appear anywhere from 7-14 days after exposure in the form of high fever, cough, runny nose and red watery eyes. These symptoms could be followed by white spots in the mouth and a rash that
spreads downward from your head to your neck, body, arms, legs and feet. Although measles is highly contagious, it can be prevented with an MMR vaccine in children and adults. Children get two doses, the fi rst during months 12 to 15, and the second during ages 4-6. OHI Health Centers carry the MMR Vaccine and are available for administration by appointment. Teenagers and adults may also receive the vaccine if not vaccinated during childhood. If you have been, or believe you have been exposed to the measles, you should mention this when booking an appointment so that proper medical procedures can be taken to protect other patients and the staff from risk. For more information, contact Kyle Fannan, marketing development associate, at 732-719-1570. To schedule an appointment, call 732-363-6655. For more information about OHI’s services, visit ohinj.org.
Project Medicine Drop Box Collects 5,000 lbs. Of Medications
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – Lacey Police reported that the department’s “Project Medicine Drop Box” has so far disposed of a whopping 5,000 lbs. of medication since the start of the program in 2013. The drop box is located in the lobby of the Lacey Township Police Department and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The purpose of the drop box is to provide residents with a safe and legal method to properly dispose of unwanted medications, police said. “Once the medication is dropped in the box, the bulk quantity of medications received is weighed and then transported to a designated incinerator facility located in New Jersey,” stated Chief Michael DiBella in a press release. It’s as easy as showing up to the police
department with your unwanted medication and dropping it in the box. No further steps are required. Residents should note: syringes and liquids are not permitted in the drop box. “Although residents may be more comfortable emptying their pills (while in the lobby) into an unmarked plastic bag before dropping them into the drop box, the program allows for the resident to drop the medication in their original container,” stated DiBella. Not only safe and convenient, the “Project Medicine Drop Box” is also anonymous. No record will be made of those individuals who participate in the program. For more information, contact Detective Lieutenant Christopher Cornelius at 609693-6636 ext. 2566.

Inside The Law The New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act
shift, the employer cannot mandate that the employee use paid sick time in increments of eight hours. What Happens Upon Transfer, Separation or Reinstatement? Michael J. Deem Transfer of employment to a related or successor employer: If an employee is employed by a successor employer or transferred to a separate division, entity or location of the same employer, the employee will retain and be entitled to use all accrued sick time. Separation of employment: Unless the employer has a policy or collective bargaining agreement providing for the payment of accrued sick leave upon termination, resignation, retirement or other separation from employment, the act does not require the employer to pay employees for unused accrued sick leave upon the separation from employment. Reinstatement of employment: If an employee is separated from employment but then reinstated within six months, all of the employee’s unused and accrued sick time must be reinstated. What Notice and Documentation Is Required? Foreseeable absences: Employers may require advance notice, not to exceed seven calendar days, of the intention to use the leave and the expected duration. Employers may require employees to make a reasonable effort to schedule the use of sick leave in a manner that does not unduly disrupt the operations of the employer. Employers may prohibit employees from using foreseeable sick leave on certain dates, and require reasonable documentation if sick leave that is not foreseeable is used during those dates. Unforeseeable absences: Employers may require employees to give notice of the intention to use the leave as soon as practicable, provided that the employer has notified the employee of this requirement. Absences of three days or more: If an employee is absent for at least three consecutive days, the employer may require documentation that confirms that the employee used sick leave for a covered purpose. What Are the Notice and Record-Keeping Rules? Employers must post a notification of employees’ rights under the act and provide employees with a written copy of the notice within 30 days after the department has issued a model notice and each time thereafter when an employee is hired or requests such a notice. Additionally, employers must retain records documenting hours worked by employees and paid sick time taken by employees for a period of five years and permit the department access to those records. What If We Have a Collective Bargaining Agreement? The act does not apply to employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that is in effect at the time of the effective date of the act, at least until the CBA expires. Even then, employees or their representatives may waive the rights under the act during the negotiation of the CBA. What About Local Paid-Sick-Leave Laws? The act preempts all existing and future municipal ordinances in New Jersey regarding paid sick time. How Will the Law Be Enforced? Employees may sue their employers for violating the act and can seek actual damages suffered as a result of the violation, plus an equal amount of liquidated damages. How Does the Anti-Retaliation Provision Work? The anti-retaliation provision of the act includes a rebuttable presumption that an employer’s actions are unlawful if it takes adverse action against an employee within 90 days of the employee engaging in activity protected under the act. This includes such actions as filing a complaint with the department, cooperating with an investigation, opposing policies and practices that are unlawful under the act, or informing other individuals of their rights under the act. What Should Employers Do Now? In anticipation of the effective date of this new law, you should review your paid time off, vacation or other paid leave policies to determine whether you will have to implement a paid-sicktime policy for any of your employees or amend your existing policies to ensure compliance with the act. You should also inform managers and supervisors of any new policy changes and of the importance of the provisions of the law prohibiting retaliation. You should also consider revising your employee handbooks to account for these changes. For example, if you choose not to pay out accrued but unused sick leave upon termination, you must make that abundantly clear in your written policies. Finally, you should be on the lookout for the poster and template notice issued by the Department.

DAILY SPECIALS
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates On October 29, New Jersey became the 10th state to enact a statewide mandatory paid-sick-leave law. The New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act requires that nearly all New Jersey employers provide up to 40 hours of paid sick leave per year to covered employees. Here is an overview of what New Jersey employers need to know: Who Is Covered? Covered employees: The act applies to most employees working in the state “for compensation.” The act expressly excludes employees in the construction industry employed under a collective bargaining agreement, per diem healthcare employees, and public employees who already have sick leave benefits. Covered employers: The act broadly applies to any business entity, irrespective of size, that employs employees in the state of New Jersey, including a temporary help service firm. It expressly excludes public employers required to provide their employees with sick leave. How Is Leave Accrued? Accrual period: The act requires employers to designate any period of 12 consecutive months as a “benefit year.” Employers cannot change the established benefit year without first notifying the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Under the act, current employees begin accruing sick time on the effective date of the act. New employees hired after the effective date of the act begin accruing sick time on the first date of their employment. Accrual limits: In each benefit year, an employee will accrue up to 40 hours of sick time at a rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked. Alternatively, an employer may “frontload” the full 40 hours at the beginning of the benefit year. Employers with existing paid time off (PTO), personal days, vacation days and sick-day policies may utilize those policies to satisfy the requirements of the act as long as employees can use the time off as required by the act. In the case of a temporary help service firm placing an employee with client firms, paid sick leave will accrue on the basis of the total time worked on assignment with the firm, not separately for each client firm to which the employee is assigned. How Can Leave Be Used? • Employers are not required to permit employees to use more than 40 hours of sick leave in a benefit year. Employees can use accrued sick time after the 120th day of their first date of employment for the following reasons: • Diagnosis, care or treatment of—or recovery from—an employee’s own mental or physical illness, including preventive medical care. • Aid or care for a covered family member during diagnosis, care or treatment of—or recovery from—the family member’s mental or physical illness, including preventive medical care. • Circumstances related to an employee’s or their family member’s status as a victim of domestic or sexual violence (including the need to obtain related medical treatment, seek counseling, relocate or participate in related legal services). • Closure of an employee’s workplace or of a school/childcare of an employee’s child because of a public official’s order relating to a public health emergency. • Time to attend a meeting requested or required by school staff to discuss a child’s health condition or disability. The act broadly defines “family member” to include individuals related by blood to the employee or whose close association with the employee is the equivalent of a family relationship. Employers may not require an employee to find a replacement to cover the employee’s absence. Carryover and Payout Rules Maximum carryover: The act does not require employers to permit employees to carry over more than 40 hours of accrued sick time in a single benefit year. Optional buyout: Employers may, but are not obligated to, offer to pay employees for their unused accrued sick time in the final month of the benefit year. If employees agree to receive the payment, they may choose a payment for the full amount of their unused accrued sick time or for 50 percent of such time. The payment amount shall be based on the same rate of pay that the employee earns at the time of the payment. If an employer frontloads the entire amount of sick time, it must either pay the employee for the full amount of unused accrued sick time in the final month of the employer’s benefit year or carry forward any unused sick time to the next benefit year. Employee approval is not required. In What Increments Can Workers Use Leave? The act provides employers with the discretion to choose the increments in which its employees may use accrued sick time. However, the largest increment chosen may not be larger than the number of hours an employee was scheduled to work in a given shift. For example, if an employee is scheduled to work a 7-hour

My Husband Is Addicted To Football!
Dear Joel, My husband and I had a really great summer. We took a nice vacation at the beach and made the most out of every weekend but now that the summer sun is fading away, I have to face a lonely life. See my wonderful husband is an extreme football fan. Once September arrives it’s nothing but JETS, JETS, JETS. I don’t like football, what can I do? Answer: I know you don’t like football, but you do like your husband so why not let him have his time in front of the TV. I know it cuts into your weekend time, but that can be a plus. Football season is a great time

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE By Robert D. Verderese Those who want an alternative to the talk show format need not look any further. Tune in to “Preferred Company” with Joel Markel, President and owner of “ Prefer red H ome Health Care” and his co-host, Marianne Lev y, airing 8 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, on WOBM-AM ( B e a c h R a d i o 116 0 and 1310). Chock-full of fun and friendly talk, along with game shows, trivia contests, nostalgia and celebrity interviews, “Prefer re d C o mpany ” is the per fect blend of good conversation and entertainment that is sure to please. While there are many dimensions to “ Pre ferred Company,” the one that listeners are immediately struck by is the wonderful chemistry between Joel and Marianne: “It’s like we c an read eac h ot h er’s minds,” Marianne says. Moreover, when you listen to “Preferred Company,” you cannot miss the special connection that Joel and Marianne have: “There really is a comfort and lightness between us that allows us to bring out the best in one another,” Joel adds. So what is it besides “good chemistr y” bet ween Joel and Marianne that makes “Preferred Company ” s t a n d o u t f r o m the crowd? Well, for star ters, the show’s format is almost entirely unscripted: “We don’t know what we’re g o i n g to t a l k a b o u t f ive minute s b efo re the show goes on the air,” Marianne admits.

Unlike many other talk shows that rarely, if ever, take phone calls or respond to emails, “Preferred Company” considers interacting with their audience as an essential part of the program. Referring to their listeners as “Listener Friends,” it is not unusual for Joel and Marianne to talk about their families with their listeners and vice versa: “Our show is very much a family affair,” Joel explains.

People from all around the world listen to Joel and Marianne via this A pp: “ We love “ Ra diopup” and how it allows us to connect with people from all types of backgrounds. It really gives our show another level of connectivity—it’s wonderful!” says Marianne. Speak ing of won der ful, let ’s not forget about Joel’s lovable puppy Oliver and Marianne’s “favorite,” Norman: “I love dogs and love to share dog stories with our listeners,” says Marianne. Discussing everything from the smartest and most popular dog breeds, to the most popular dog names, even dog-friendly accommodations, such as hotels and motels and vacation rentals, at “Preferred Company,” your canine will always get the love and attention that he or she deserves!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week to come, you would be wise to maintain a low profile and to avoid making major changes. You may feel constrained by regulations or frustrated by an inability to get ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Doing your job well or a desire for material success can become powerful motivators in the upcoming week. You have vision and imaginative ideas about ways to achieve your goals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A lucrative business opportunity may arrive this week if you gather information and listen to the news. Don’t worry about short-term goals; your attention should be focused on the future. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll feel like a free spirit in the week ahead because your imagination allows you to travel wherever you wish. Romantic relationship problems will be resolved with ease. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The long and winding road that seems to have no end may also be your path to future success. A close friend or advisor could provide the information that will make your dreams come true. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might feel awkward at a group event. Keep in mind that others might be uncomfortable, too. In the week to come you can use your knowledge and imagination to make more money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week ahead, you may be challenged to deal with someone who is cranky or out of sorts. You’ll find that when your business skills and abilities are tested you’ll pass with flying colors. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): One generous act can brighten your life for several days or lead you to make permanent improvements in the week ahead. You may make a surprising discovery at the workplace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make sure that your hard-earned money is spent carefully. The mistakes you made in the past can act as guideposts for the financial decisions you make in the upcoming week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may want to go your own way, but you are better suited to be a part of the pack in the week ahead. Stay true to a group’s goals and your loyalty will bring you success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can trust the professional advice you receive or rely upon your instincts, judgment, and a lightening quick grasp of the facts to guide you in the right direction this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The economic or emotional indicators might be optimistic, but misleading, so wait to make crucial decisions, to sign contracts or make a significant purchase in the week ahead.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen This Go-To Italian Classic Is Perfect For An Elegant Autumn Dinner By Wolfgang Puck Everybody who loves to cook, even if it isn’t all the time, has their “go-to” dishes. Recipes they can always rely on for a main course they can be certain everyone will like whether the occasion is casual or special. The trick is to have something that’s quick and easy to prepare while simultaneously looking and feeling special, impressing guests at first sight and providing big, pleasing flavor from the very first bite. For me, those characteristics quickly narrow down the field to a recipe I’ve loved for many years and still know will be appreciated by anybody I serve it to: My version of chicken piccata with lemon-caper sauce. You’ll find the dish on the menus of many Italian restaurants. Generally, it describes boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been sliced or pounded, or both, to a thinness that makes it possible to cook them through very quickly over fairly high heat. Lightly dredged in flour, rapidly sauteed in olive oil, and then set aside while the flavorful pan deposits are transformed into a swiftly assembled sauce of garlic, lemon juice, white wine, chicken stock, butter, capers and some parsley, the chicken seems transformed into something that delights all the senses at once. No wonder the Italian term “piccata” actually comes to us from the French “piquer,” the same source as a familiar English word “piquant” that evokes pleasant, lively flavors. One of the wonderful things about this recipe is that you can make it in a single large saute pan and, as long as you have all of the ingredients prepped in advance, the entire cooking process will take you no more than about 15 minutes, start to finish. So you won’t be away from your family or friends very long - and, if you’re fortunate enough to have an eat-in kitchen, you can very easily put on an impressive culinary show. Feel free to vary the dish, as well, with thin cutlets of turkey breast, veal, pork tenderloin or a fairly meaty seafood like swordfish. Many people like to serve a starchy side such as rice, potatoes or pasta with the piccata to soak up all the delicious sauce, but one of my favorite accompaniments sauteed spinach. It takes little more than a minute to cook, especially if you start with prewashed bags of baby spinach leaves, and it offers a brightly colored, flavorful contrast to the pale lemon-colored, tangy main dish.
4 teaspoons capers, drained 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, finely chopped Lemon slices, optional garnish First, butterfly each chicken breast half: Place the breast half on a cutting board and, starting along the thickest lengthwise edge, use a sharp knife to cut horizontally partway through the breast until you can open it up into a butterfly shape. Place the butterflied breast between two pieces of lightly oiled plastic wrap, and pound with a meat mallet to a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Spread the flour on a dinner plate and dredge both sides of each butterflied breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add enough of the oil to form a thin, even layer and, when it’s hot enough to shimmer slightly, add the chicken, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Cook each piece until light golden-brown, about 2 minutes per side, then remove it and set it aside. Add more oil to the pan as needed. Pour off any oil remaining in the pan and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. As soon as it melts, add the garlic and, the moment the garlic begins to turn very light golden, add the wine and stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice and capers. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and use a whisk to briskly stir in the rest of the butter a few pieces at a time to form a creamy sauce. Continue simmering and stirring until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, if needed, with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley. Return all the chicken to the pan, and turn it in the sauce to warm through. Transfer the chicken to heated serving plates, spooning the sauce and capers evenly over each portion. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired, and serve with sauteed baby spinach. SAUTÉED BABY SPINACH WITH GARLIC AND CHILI FLAKES Serves 4
CHICKEN PICCATA WITH LEMONCAPER SAUCE Serves 4
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 large garlic cloves, minced 2 pounds baby spinach leaves, rinsed and patted dry 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Pinch of sugar Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup (60 mL) all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-table spoon pieces 2 tablespoons garlic minced garlic 1/2 cup white wine 1/2 cup good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. As soon as it is hot enough to swirl easily, add the garlic and saute just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in large handfuls, add the spinach to the pan, stirring it continuously; as it begins wilts down, immediately add more (and keep stirring) until all of the spinach is in the pan. The moment all of the spinach has wilted, after about 1 minute, stir in red pepper flakes to taste along with the sugar; then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
