By Jennifer Peacock They had to come. Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, operating in Ocean County, opened a new office in Freehold to answer increasing demands for services for the elderly in Monmouth County. Though they opened their doors in March, they held an opening ceremony and ribbon cutting in June at St. Robert Bellarmine Roman Catholic Church,

where their office is located. This office will currently serve Howell and Freehold seniors. “For us, we’re going to have a lot more people going on more appointments because at the senior center, although we do appoint-ments, the time frame is extremely limited,” Melanie Decker, Howell Senior Center director, said. She and Howell Business Administrator Jeffrey Mayfield attended

the ribbon cutting. “We have a 2- to 3-hour window, and it’s not even every day that we can bring people for appointments. The other problem is people have to wait an hour sometimes after their appointment is done. So, for the last two months since [Caregiver Volunteers] has been open, we’ve already been referring people. They’ve been doing their assessments and taking people. So it

By Charles Daye HOWELL – With a moment of silence and a call for an end of living in fear, officials began the recent meeting of the township council reflecting on the national tragedy in Orlando and its horrific shooting. Mayor William Gotto started the meeting with a moment of silence for Orlando. “Pray that at some point in our future we are going to get the right people who are going to be able to come together and solve some real problems in this country. So that people are going to be able to feel protected when they go to churches, schools, clubs and any place we can gather as American citizens and not feel that we have to be unprotected and live in fear,” said Gotto. The Mayor went on to praise the How-ell Police Department. “We are always a society that has to be vigilant and we have some of the finest officers that anybody will have the priv-ilege of being protected by,” said Gotto. The meeting saw the swearing in of officers for Howell’s police force. Patrolman Raymond Tillotson Jr. was sworn in to his position, with a ceremo-ny at the meeting that saw Police Chief Andrew Kudrick and some policemen were in attendance. Before introducing Howell’s newest of-ficer, Kudrick made it a point to address what happened in Orlando and echo the Mayors sentiments. “As the Howell Township Police Department we stand behind Orlando, especially the LGBT community,” said the police chief. He said that these

FARMINGDALE – The Historic Village of Allaire is hosting the 1864 version of baseball on June 25. The Monmouth Furnace Base Ball Club, based at the village in Allaire State Park, will take on another vintage team, the Chesapeake Nine from Baltimore, at 1 p.m.

“Pitching The Past” At Allaire Players wear long-sleeve shirts with cravats and use old-fashioned wood bats. The annual “Pitching the Past” event will be at the site of the 1898 spring training camp of Brooklyn’s major league team. The Monmouth Furnace team has mem-bers from their teens into their 70s. The ball club regularly plays other vintage

teams throughout the mid-Atlantic states. The Historic Village at Allaire, once an iron-producing factory town, is a non-profit living-history museum with costumed guides and preserved 19th-cen-tury buildings. It is at 4263 Atlantic Ave., off Exit 98 of the Garden State Parkway and off Exit 31-B of Interstate 195.

benefits our seniors, and then the Senior Center, because we have staff that is now available to do other things.” The expansion into Monmouth County was prompted by one woman’s phone call. Angela, 78, who lives in The Villages and parishioner at St. Robert, recently lost her husband and cannot drive. She needed help getting to doctors’ appointments and reached out to Caregiver Volunteers. Now they can help. “Our staff, our board, our volunteers

are dedicated to providing services to the elderly, the homebound, veterans, people who are disabled over 60 years old, and caregivers. Our mission is to enable them to live their lives with dignity and joy in the comfort of their own homes,” Executive Director Lynette Whiteman said. Their services include medical transpor-tation, grocery shopping services, friendly visits and phone calls, and easing the bur-den of caregivers. They do all this through volunteers. They’ve been in Ocean County for more than two decades and have more than 1,000 volunteers. “Now I’m so delighted we are able to

tragedies create a moment for local agen-cies to stop and assess its own situation. “… and we are working within our own police department to make some changes. Whenever there is a crisis such as this we look at our own policies, to make sure we are at the top of our game, to make sure that we are doing everything right,” said Kudrick.

bring this community effort to Monmouth County,” Whiteman said. “It began as all things begin, with a need, the need of a parishioner,” Rev. Msgr. Sam A. Sirianni of St. Robert’s said. “A need of assistance, and instead of doing what so many groups do—well, we’ll start our own thing—we looked around to see where we could network, where we could work together. It’s a blessing at this time to work with people from various backgrounds, various beliefs, various traditions, because as it was mentioned already, the world gets darker each time we turn on the news. The world seems to get colder with each

report. So it’s when people of good will join together to work together to show that taking care of our neighbors, taking care of the vulnerable, taking care of the seniors, taking care of those who can no longer care for themselves but cared for others in their prime, that’s a light that makes this world a little warmer and a little brighter. And so I thank you for your work, for your service.” Also in attendance were Freehold Town-ship Mayor Barbara J. McMorrow and Mon-mouth County Freeholder John P. Curley. Caregiver Volunteers’ Freehold office is located at 61 Georgia Road in Freehold. Howell residents should call 732-876-3900.

Af ter h is comments on Orlando, Kudrick addressed the local news of Pa-trolman Tillotson’s swearing in, praising Tillotson. He was one of the Police Chief’s first hires since Kudrick stepped into the role. Tillotson, 30, has lived in town since 1998 and went through both Howell and Freehold Regional school systems before graduating with a degree in psychology from Farleigh Dickenson. Tillotson spent his f irst six months as police officer

working in Manhattan as a member of the NYPD and had to go through the academy a second time to get his state certification. He “did the entire academy again like he was a regular recruit even though he was a seasoned officer for six months,” said Kudrick. The chief added that Tillotson had “probably seen more in six months at NYPD than most police officers in smaller towns will see in their entire careers.”

Possible improvements in the police department’s communications were also discussed by the council, such as new radio equipment that could be inter-changeable with the system the county uses. The main concerns of the council, they said, were f inancing the radios and spending millions of tax dollars on technology that may not have as long of a shelf life as advertised. The next meeting of the township coun-cil is July 11 in town hall.

Have you ever seen a time when journalists have been so obviously biased? CNN is ob-viously to the left and FOX is to the right – isn’t there room for some middle ground here? Their opinions are what should be in Letter to the Editor. Just the facts ma’am, just the facts. Actually, I think that the American people are not too crazy about either of these candidates. One with a history that has too much history to it, and the other is bullying other people. So it’s no wonder other candidates dropped out. Mr. John Kasich is a good and decent God-fearing man who was simply over-

The Fort Monmouth Econom-ic Revitalization Authority is a fraudulent colonial entity that views the former U.S. Army base as part of the State of New Jersey. In 1778, during the Revolu-tionary War the U.S. govern-ment promised the Lenape that if they helped fight to end British rule, the Lenape would be given sovereign statehood in New Jersey. As of 2016, the U.S. government has yet to hold up their end of the deal - there is not a single reservation even here. Fort Monmouth is Native American land, the rightful property of the Lenape Na-tion, and the FMERA lacks clear title. The Lenapes were subject to broken promises, coupled with forced exile to the Mid-western U.S. and Canada. Bring the Lenape home.Eric HafnerToms River

I was saddened and disturbed to see that The History Chan-nel decided to begin airing its remake of the slavery saga “Roots” on Memorial Day. I was a big fan of the original “Roots” (in 1977), more on that later, but let’s talk about the “roots” of Memorial Day for a minute. Originally, Memorial Day was called Decoration Day and was a time to honor the fallen of the Civil War, a war fought to end slavery. If The History Channel is really about history, they would not desecrate Memorial Day by airing the beginning of the remake of a miniseries about the origins of slavery, itself. It totally negates the very rationale for the holiday! As you yourself said in your May 28 Editorial, Memorial Day is to “pay tribute to those who have been killed in the line of duty, to the sons and daugh-ters of America who fought and died for our independence.” I would add that it is a day when

America is known for the good it does in the world. We export aid, medicine and technology to undeveloped countries as well as providing better healthcare, education and better working conditions. Our Congressman, Chris Smith, is attempting to undermine all the good we do by imposing a permanent and cruel “Gag rule” on women’s health in developing countries. The Gag rule causes unimaginable suffer-ing of women in these countries. Access to contraception and family planning reduces un-intended pregnancy, reduces maternal and child deaths, HIV/AIDS and unsafe abortion. The World Health Organization data shows that 800 women in devel-oping nations die each day from pregnancy or childbirth related causes. An estimated 50,000 adolescent mothers and more than 1 million infants die yearly because the girls are not phys-ically ready for childbearing. The Gag Rule withdraws American Funding for Con-traceptives if the clinic also provides information about abortion, even if medically needed and paid for with their own non-U.S money. The Gag Rule forced clinic closures and interferes with the health and safety of 215 million women needing access to contraception. American aid should not be accompanied with unfair rules that control women causing them to suffer and die. Con-gressman Smith can help reduce unintended pregnancy, save the lives of women and babies, re-duce abortion and help suffering women by supporting women’s health and by dropping the “Gag rule.” Congressman Smith leads the Anti Choice Movement in Congress as Chair of the Pro Life Caucus.

Last month was Lyme D i s e a s e Aw a r e n e s s Month. There were many articles concerning pre-vention and how to look for ticks. Where were the articles about treatment and local doctors who can treat long term Lyme disease? Where in the shore area can you find a medical team specializing in the treatment of Lyme dis-ease. Try calling South-ern Ocean Medical Cen-ter and ask for an LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor). None are avail-able. I am 89 years old and was infected with Lyme disease 25 years ago. I had no visible signs of a tick bite. One morning I could not get out of bed. A blood test from Ig-enex Lab in California confirmed I had Lyme disease. Only an LLMD is

men of all races who died to get and keep us free are honored, not a day to dwell on those who were sinfully enslaved, but later freed. The History Channel, however, appears to suddenly believe that Memorial Day is an apropos time. The 1977 version of “Roots” was not only (pardon the pun) groundbreaking, but it was eye-opening, edifying and need-ful at the time. I loved it, and it had a terrific cast which cannot be outdone by the one an-nounced for the remake. Here’s why I feel a “do-over” is a very bad idea (in addition to the dis-respecting of Memorial Day): This version comes as Presi-dent Obama, whose very elec-tion was supposed to move race relations forward and help us heal from our tragic past, is soon to leave office. For The History Channel to take us back to slavery in the 1700s at this time, then, is almost an admission that his “history making” Presidency was a complete and total failure. We are not only going backward almost 40 years to “dig up” America’s “Roots,” but we are going hundreds of years back-ward to pick at old wounds that Obama’s election was supposed to heal once and for all. We are advertising to the entire world (again) that America is headed in the wrong direction. “Actions speak louder than words,” the “Roots” remake admits visually what “we” won’t admit verbally because of Political Correctness. But is this what we want the world to see? Very sadly, we live in a time of extremely strained race rela-tions. Not only is Memorial Day the day when we are supposed to remember, and honor, those who died in the service of our country but it is also considered “The First Day of Summer.” Strained race relations, warm summer weather and the care-less reopening of the wounds of slavery could easily see “Roots” turning into “Riots.” The original “Roots,” in 1977, was first aired in January. The History Channel should have put this new version on in Black History Month, (February), frankly. Does President Obama want to see more riots before he leaves office? Does The History Channel want this? In 1977, race relations were relatively tranquil. They are not tranquil, here in 2016. Do we wish to pro-voke more anger this summer, doesn’t America have enough? Airing the “Roots” remake on Memorial Day is just as disre-

whelmed by the whole thing. Obviously he was my choice. Nonetheless, I think we are all sick of the political non-sense going on, and the rest of the world thinks we are the laughing stock because of it and we are. Where is true leadership? We are hungry for it – real, true leadership, not promises not to be kept! Promises are easy in politics because very few people remember after the election what they were... God help us one and all, and may God bless America. We all need to pray for the right person to lead this nation forward, out of debt and into respect once again.Bette KooremanWhiting

spectful to those (of all colors) who died in the service of our great nation as it would be dis-respectful of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to debut a World War II marathon on his birthday. Per-haps The History Channel (and Lifetime, and A & E, concurrent partners in this “Roots” fiasco) wish they could rename Memo-rial Day.......”Desecration Day”? That’s what they’ve done, either knowingly or unknowingly...they’ve desecrated the holiday.Chet JelinskiWhiting

knowledgeable enough to treat this effectively. If diagnosed early enough, antibiotics administered by local doctors usually give satisfactory results. Because I was not diag-nosed early enough, I am now suffering, along with many others, a condition called PTLS, Post Treat-ment Lyme Syndrome, as identified by Colum-bia University Lyme Re-search Center. Symptoms of PTLS include chronic fatigue syndrome, neuropathy, hand tremors, brain fog, extreme muscle weak-ness, joint pain, tinnitus, and other debilitating conditions.

The Arnone Report dents attending college. This will be achieved by grant-ing scholarships to attend Brookdale to any students who have been enrolled at Asbury Park High School for all four years. This is a great accomplishment for the Asbury Park school dis-trict as this will enable more students to come closer to realizing their dreams of attending college. Speaking of Brookdale, I, along with my fellow board members of the Great-er Monmouth Chamber of Commerce, recognized Maureen Murphy, president of Brookdale Community College, with the Circle of Excellence Chairman’s Award for her steadfast commitment and dedication

to education. In addition to Murphy, we are recognizing the Lieu-tenant Governor Kim Gua-dagno; Habitat for Human-ity in Monmouth County, Glen Eagle Advisors, LLC; Hope For Children Founda-tion, Edie Legg and Shari Scaramuzzo. Congratula-tions to all the honorees and thank you for your commit-ment to making Monmouth County a great place to work and live. I recently presented Kalpesh H. Shah, owner of Jersey Shore Pharmacy, with a check for $1,850 for facade improvements as part of our Economic De-velopment program. I am extremely pleased with how well this program is going

and that our small business-es are taking advantage of this and other services we offer to support them. It is extremely gratifying to help out a small business owner here in Monmouth County, as they are backbone of our community. Another small business recently opened and me along with several Freeholders were there to cut the ribbon and officially open the Future Generation Early Learning Center in Colts Neck. For more in-formation on the Economic Development programs, visit visitmonmouth.com/economicdevelopment. It was also my pleasure, along with entire Freeholder Board, to recognize Ray-mond Santiago, a student

from Freehold Township, with a proclamation, desig-nating June 9 as Raymond Santiago Day in the County of Monmouth, for his quick and heroic response last summer in saving the life of his choking babysitter. Santiago is a Boy Scout and calmly and effectively used the skills he learned as a scout to save her life. We are so proud of you, Raymond. I recently attended two great events at Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, both focused on the seniors in the county. A few days after Memorial Day, a wonderful event was sponsored by Monmouth County Gov-ernment for our veterans. We had representatives from the veterans services de-

partment there to support them and provide them with information, our sheriff’s office, surrogate’s office, as well as our county clerk and other community orga-nizations that support and assist our veterans in many ways. Thank you to all those who have served and those serving today, we are always here to support you. We are the land of the free, because of the brave. In addition to the county veteran event, myself and Deputy Director DiMaso attended the SCAN sponsored health fair. Thank you to those who came out to support us during the primary. I look forward to continuing to serve you now and through-out the next few years.

to get a firsthand glimpse of the work that the LRRC does for the residents of La kewood and Ocean County. The LRRC helps people evaluate their eligibility for various social service programs, such as NJ Fam-ilyCare, SNAP and HUD Rental Assistance; assists them with applications and advocates for them to re-

solve difficulties when nec-essary. The LRRC also provides comprehensive social ser-vices and information about health care insurance plans, nutritional supplementa-tion programs and home utilities payment assistance programs. Senator Singer observed case managers as they an-swered questions from call-

ers, responded to clients taking advantage of the LR-RC’S walk-in service and conducted scheduled coun-seling sessions. After observing Devorah Nussbaum, an LRRC bilin-gual case manager who spe-cializes in assisting Spanish speaking clients, Senator Singer said, “The LRRC is doing a great job of reaching all segments of the commu-

nity with its services. The staff is a knowledgeable, professional and hard-work-ing team and we’re lucky to have them here in Ocean County.” Mayer Hoberman, ex-ecutive director of social services at the LRRC, said, “It was very gratifying for us to see that the Senator made time in his busy schedule to visit our office and see for

himself what we do every day for the public. It means a lot to us to know that our elected officials are aware of our efforts.” The LRRC has extended its hours to include additional call-in hours on Monday evenings from 8 to 10 p.m. For more information about LRRC services and hours of operation, visit lrrcenter.org or call 732-942-9292.

Rible Warns Of ‘Bump Keys’ On Good Morning America “Even good locks can be bumped with this key, allowing someone to break and enter,” said R ible (R-Monmouth). “Anybody can do it. It’s easier than hammering a nail. The thief can open the door and lock it again without

the homeowner having any suspicion.” Rible sponsors a bill with Assembly Republi-can Leader Jon Bramnick (A1316) that establishes penalties for anyone who manufactures, purchases or possesses a bump key

who isn’t a law enforce-ment officer or certified locksmith. He demonstrated how a bump key works on the show using the home of a volunteer constituent. In the scene he opens the front door by inserting the spe-

cial key and giving it a light bump with a tool, jarring the door open in seconds to the owner’s astonishment. Until the bill is passed, Rible recommends buying “bump proof ” locks to ensure that nobody can so easily break into a home.

The bill is in the Assem-bly Law and Public Safety Committee.

HOWELL – June 13 was a somber day for the Howell Police Department. Ten years ago, the department lost Special Law Enforcement Officer II George Garo. Beginning in 1964, prior to the police depart-ment being formed, Garo patrolled Howell as a special police officer. In 1971, he was brought onto the newly formed Howell Police Department where he continued to serve until his death. Chief Andrew Kudrick said, “Upon speaking with George, you immediately realized he was a very kind and intelligent man. He was a true

Police Department Remembers Officer Garo

gentleman and left you with a very positive impression of the Howell Police Department. “As a kid, I vividly remember George working the Adelphia Fireman’s Carnival. He was the perfect representation of my image of a Howell policeman. His uniform was meticulous – fitted and pressed. His shoes were polished. He was physically fit. He was dedicated and very proud to wear the Howell uniform. He remained that same way until the last day he served.” A picture of Garo on his BMW motorcycle graces the display cabinet in the lobby of police headquarters.

ASBURY PARK – The Art Star Craft Bazaar is coming back to Asbury Park for the second time. The bazaar will be held at Bradley Park on Ocean Ave. across from Convention Hall and the Boardwalk on July 30 from 10 a.m. to 7 p. m. and July 31 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. About 50 area and national artists will be on display at the bazaar in a show organized by Philadelphia indie craft shop and gallery, Art Star. Makers from across the region (and beyond) will set up 10 x 10 shops to sell their wares in the park. Shoppers can expect high quality handmade goods that ref lect Art Star’s unique and quirky aesthetic. Erin Waxman and Megan Brewster of Art Star have hand selected a diverse collection of artists that create anything and everything, including housewares, paper goods, jewelry, prints, ceram-ics, clothing, accessories, paintings/drawings, sculpture and many other one-of-a-kind curiosit ies. All items have been handmade from a variety of mediums that include fabric, clay, glass, wood, paper and much more. The show will also include artists who will be selling select works (t-shirts, prints, cards, etc) that have been reproduced in small batches, if not locally, within the US. The Art Star Craft Bazaar aims to offer something for everyone at a range of prices to accommodate all budgets. The bazaar will benefit Move for Hun-ger, a nonprofit founded to transform moving into an opportunity to reduce food waste and help feed the hungry. There will also be fresh food vendors and live acoustic music. Former sound engineer Dan Knoll of Audio Tree will be showing his handmade wood iPhone amplifiers and

Art Star Craft Bazaar Coming Soonphone cases. Art Star was also sure to include some local favorites – like Co-rey Hudson’s mosaic style wall art made from wood pieces salvaged from super storm Sandy. And local Asbury Pho-tographer Claudia Chloe, who captures summer scenes by taking aerial shots that feature bright, colorful clusters of umbrellas and towels dotting sweeping

landscapes of sand and surf. Art Star always welcomes four legged friends to the bazaar. Swing by Adorn-ables’ booth to pick up a dapper bow tie for the pup. While visiting the bazaar, Art Star encourages guests to explore all that Asbury Park has to offer. There is a variety of independent shops and restau-

rants along the boardwalk, as well as a thriving shopping district along Cook-man Avenue and connecting side streets. This event is free to attend and will occur rain or shine. The Art Star Craft Bazaar is a “no glue gun” gathering. Visit artstarcraftbazaar.com for more information.

Chinese Golden Thread Is Tough On Germs

Sometimes I come across the weirdest things that are amazingly helpful, like Cop-tis chinensis. This herb is used frequently in Chinese medicine (Huang Lian), especially to treat diabetes. It has a lengthy list of me-dicinal properties that I’d like to share with you. Apparently the compounds in Coptis can help with H. pylori, pseudomonas, salmonella, shigella, trichomonas, giardia, influenza and more. I came across Coptis, also called “Golden Thread,” while researching plant-based antimicrobials that could get rid of MAR-CoNS short for “Multiple Antibiotic Resis-tant Coagulase Negative Staph.” Think of MARCoNS like you would MRSA, only worse. MARCoNS is an op-portunistic staph infection that can reside in your jawbone, hip and nasal cavities, and it’s often cultured in people who have low MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone). Low MSH correlates with severe insomnia and depression by the way, and if you have those symptoms you should test your blood levels of MSH. If low, you’re next step is to test for MARCoNS, which entails a deep nasal swab into the nose. It’s usually cultured in people who have taken a lot of antibiotics (like Lymies), also those with compromised immunity, biotoxin illness, mold exposure from water damaged build-ings or cancer. MARCoNS is tough to erad-icate, it lives in slimy biofilm communities and it’s very resistant to today’s arsenal of antibiotics. A compounded prescription nasal spray called “BEG spray” is often used. BEG spray consists of Bactroban, EDTA and Gentamycin, hence the name

“BEG” spray. Coptis herb tastes strong and bitter. It’s bright yellow, and could be used to dye fabrics. The yellow color comes from ber-berine, which is also sold as a stand-alone supplement. Berberine has been studied extensively for its ability to positively im-pact blood sugar, and also because it helps prevent arterial wall thickening (athero-sclerosis). Here I got all excited that Coptis could hit MARCoNS, which is tough to do (that is one resistant bug) and then I learned that it protects against neuronal degeneration (in animals) and it could help with IBS too. In 2004, researchers found something out that is rather astounding. They tested the anti-cancer activity of Coptis against human liver cancer cells, and those with leukemia. They learned that the berberine and coptisin (found in Coptis) blocked growth of the cancer cells. In the May 2016 journal, Oncology Report, scientists pub-lished an interesting article that mentioned Coptis. They said the berberine (found in Coptis and other herbs) worked synergis-tically with the chemo drug Cisplatin to suppress breast cancer growth. Just as an aside, Cisplatin is a medication from the category of “platinum” salts, which is a heavy metal, not exactly the same as the platinum wedding band though. Coptis contains many compounds, some even attack Lyme pathogens. It’s probably most famous for it’s berberine, which was shown in a 2016 study (Journal of Food and Medicine) to prevent formation of Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products which basically age you.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

A Taste Of Honey Dear Readers: We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who would a thunk?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magnesium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg let-tuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available that are loaded in healthy stuff. Finally, chamomile tea is almost as good as a

kiss good night. It is a great and healthy way to end the day (it is related to the Daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers I am not sure of the nutritional benefits to women but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this information in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety .It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress.Joel

Business Profile

By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living. Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents. One of them may be Emilia Harr ison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley res-ident for over five years. “I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor. Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine out-doors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. “You do what you want to do,” she says. For thirty years, Bartley

BartleyHealthcare

Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents

What we’ve always tried to do is be leaders

in our field.–Chief Executive

Officer Philip Scalo

Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Offi-cer Philip Scalo and his physician partners. “My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facil-ity and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.” With his financial and le-gal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team. Others think so, too. The Orchards at Bart-ley has received nu-merous awards for ex-cellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Ser-vices in partnership with the Healthcare Asso-ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/National Center for As-sisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federa-tion of America. “What we’ve always

tr ied to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says. For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley ex-perience for res-idents and the staff that serve their healthcare needs.

Bar t ley Healthcare opened as a 120-bed skil led nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground. Scalo says the facili-ty’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties. Bar t ley Healthcare began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typ-ically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes. Today, Bartley Health-care is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; en-teral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respirato-ry; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care. The campus facilities

also offer inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation; assisted living; memory care programs; respite/hospice; and at-home services. “We started with a basic concept, under-standing and meeting the individual needs of both resident and patient,”Scalo says. “Each step of our de-velopment has been based on the need for services. (For exam-ple,) in the late 1990s, we saw the need for memor y care pro -grams.” Scalo says that he and his partners have plans to add respira-tory services and a sub-acute program for Alzheimer’s patients. Even after a resi-dent leaves Bar tley Healthcare, the facility ensures their contin-ued rehabilitation by providing a follow-up program. Residents that live at The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living will feel right at home right away. Nest led in a quiet countr y set t ing, The Orchards promotes a neighborhood environ-ment. Located within the community, “Main Street” is a hub of activi-ty that features a theater, exercise center, library with computers, hair salon and barber shop, game room and other

gathering areas. Family recreational oppor tunities abound at the neighborhood movie theater, green-house and playground

for grandchildren. At any age, there is something fun to do at The Orchards for assist-ed living residents and their visitors. In the privacy of inde-pendent suites, locat-ed by street names in The Orchard’s assisted living wings, residents can decorate their new home with their favorite furnishings and beloved mementos. For every taste, there is a f loor plan that meets every resident’s needs.

Residents can share their Bartley adventure with other residents or pursue independent pas-times, indoors or out-doors. The choice is

theirs. Scalo says that Bart-ley’s core values are attitude, trust, team-work, integr ity, re-spect and excellence, which he emphasiz-es on a green brace-let with the acronym “A.T.T.I.R.E.” “The key thing we stress is that we’re a home providing the care levels needed at a certain phase in (an individual’s) life,” Scalo says. “It’s home for (on-site) staff, not just residents. We are very experienced in this community and (we) give back to our community.” Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabil-

itation is located at 175 Bartley Road, Jackson NJ 08527. For further information about their services, call the facility at 732-370-4700. The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living is locat-ed at 100 North County Line Road, Jackson NJ 08527. For further in-formation about their services, call the facility at 732-730-1700. For further information about both facilities, visit the company’s Web site at bartleyhealthcare.com.


ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be all you can be. In the week to come your work ethic may impress the boss or your business dealings will upgrade your reputation. Beneficial relationships can be forged with those who share your sense of values.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wear your white hat and do your best. You may even be able to ride off into the sunset with a sweetheart if you make a pretty apology and mend the fences. Your creative talents are in high gear during the week ahead.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gentle persua-sion is a powerful palliative. You won’t need to force your ideas on others in the week to come in order to get results. Your wisdom about fam-ily matters is better than average; make crucial decisions now.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Fate and fortune favor the freehanded. You may have an occasional impulse to dwell on fantasies or to blindly swallow an advertising ploy indulge in the week ahead. Yet you will never fail if you are generous to others.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Go along with the crowd and offer the gift of giving. What you gain from being generous can be more fulfilling and satisfying than being miserly. Butter someone up with some form of flattery in the week ahead.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take pride in having integrity. If you prove your trustwor-thiness, by fulfilling promises and honoring contracts, people will develop faith in you. This is a good week to demonstrate your leadership abilities and wisdom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chasing your tail can be fun, but impractical. You could have some delightful ideas but not the levelheaded-ness to put them into action. Rely upon good financial advice from more grounded advisors in the week ahead.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people dig in their heels and get the job done, but others are mere dreamers. If you are a heel digger this may be the best possible week to start any project that relies upon making smart and wise financial decisions.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may reach down and find the bottom of the well. Gauge the depth of your feelings as well as the solidity of your financial security. In the week head you should focus on ways to replenish your resources.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your glass ceiling may be equipped with a skylight. Your po-tential for making giant leaps forward with career and finances may have few limits in the week to come. Accept any opportunity for advancement that comes along.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be fooled by fate if you focus on fulfilling your fantasies. Be extra nice to the new person in the office and be optimistic about starting a new proj-ect. The stars smile on romance and relationships this week.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Too many choices can be confusing. Remain precise and concise in the week ahead to dispel confusion. You may be torn in two directions but can make the right choice if you do your best to live up to someone’s expectations.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck What are you serving as appetizers when you entertain outdoors this summer? Too often, grill cooks think only about their main courses and maybe side dishes like grilled vegetables and old standbys like potato salad or coleslaw. When it comes to f i rst courses, though, most default to dishes like guacamole or other dips, prepared away from the grill, ac-companied by the inevitable chips. I’d like to propose another approach. As long as you’re making the effort to heat up your backyard grill, why not be fuel-efficient (as well as conserving your own energy) and cook an appetizer on the grill too? The point, of course, is to be creative while also making less work for yourself, not more. Most importantly, you want a recipe that will be fairly quick and easy to prepare and serve, so you have time to get the larger main dishes cooking while everyone is enjoying your appetizer. One appetizer recipe that meets those requirements is the slender Asian kabob known as a satay. These are basically small, thin, pieces of meat, poultry or seafood threaded onto skewers, designed to cook almost instantly over an open fire for less than 5 minutes. And the individ-ual skewers make passing and serving them both easy for you, the cook and host, and fun for your guests. As a great example, I’m happy to share my recipe for a beef satay I’ve served from time to time over the years in my restaurants. For a special-occasion, you can prepare it with good-quality, tender New York strip or f illet; but it’s just as good made with less costly skirt or f lank steak, which is the traditional choice in Asian kitchens. For convenience and authenticity, I sug-gest preparing the satays on individual bamboo or wooden skewers, which you’ll need to soak br ief ly in water so they won’t scorch or catch f ire on the outdoor grill. You can also cook them indoors on a countertop grill, under the broiler, or in half the time with an electric panini grill or hinged contact grill that cooks the meat from both sides at once. The satays are so easy that they also allow you time to prepare a delicious dipping sauce to go with them. My recipe takes only a few minutes to make, yet it delivers big f lavor. Once you’ve tried this dish, feel free to vary it with different seasons or by subst itut ing other proteins l ike pork, chicken or shrimp. You can also serve the skewers as a main dish, accompanied by rice and vegetables. Have creative fun with your grilling this summer!

HONEY-MARINATED BEEF SATAYS WITH SPICY BUTTER

SAUCE Makes 24 skewers, serves 8 to 12

BEEF SATAYS:

3/4 pound (374 g) New York strip or fillet

steak, trimmed1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce1 tablespoon honey1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes1/2 teaspoon ground cumin1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil

SPICY BUTTER SAUCE:2 garlic cloves, finely chopped4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger1 green onion, finely chopped1 cup (250 mL) organic chicken broth1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce1 teaspoon honey2 tablespoons hoisin sauce or bottled barbecue sauce1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes Soak 2 dozen 6-inch (15-cm) bamboo or wooden skewers in water for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and pat dry. With a sharp knife, cut the steak into 24 long, thin strips. Thread 1 strip onto each skewer, weaving the skewer back and forth along the length of each steak strip. Arrange the skewers on a large platter or baking tray. Cover with plas-tic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Until 30 minutes before you plan to grill the skewers, combine the soy sauce, honey, red pepper f lakes, cum-in, turmeric and oil in a small bowl. Pour this marinade over the steak skewers, turning to coat the meat evenly. Leave the skewers to mari-nate at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Preheat an outdoor grill, stovetop grill, broiler, panini grill or hinged grill. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the garlic cloves and blanch them in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Drain well, pat dry with paper towels, and chop finely. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and green onion; saute just until they begin to soften and smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, soy sauce, honey, hoisin or barbecue sauce, and red pepper f lakes and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Pour the sauce through a strainer into a clean pan and, over medium heat, whisk in the remaining butter a little bit at a time. Keep warm. Grill the skewers, in batches if nec-essary to prevent overcrowding, until cooked through and nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side on the out-door grill or in the grill pan or broiler, or 2 minutes total in the panini grill or hinged grill - or 1 minute total for rare. (Take care that the skewers don’t prevent the panini grill or hinged grill from closing properly.) Transfer to a platter, pour on the sauce, and serve; or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
