A Celebration for Life
arely, if ever, in the course of
an individual’s serious illness
and treatment is there one,
single, readily-apparent moment
when the focus of care clearly shifts
away from being curative and becomes
palliative or, hospice care. Just as treating
the disease is a process, so is preparing
ourselves for end of life when cure is no
longer possible.
Thomas J. Simms,
The preparation begins with an honest
RN, CHPN
discussion about the disease and its
outcomes. Hospice specialists are experts
at this and are adept at working closely with physicians and other
providers in developing and implementing an appropriate hospice
plan of care which meets the individual’s needs and wishes.
Hospice is a specialized approach to caring for people who are
dealing with end-of-life issues as a result of being terminally ill.
Hospice care stresses relief of symptoms as opposed to curative
interventions. Hospice focuses on quality of life by offering
physical, psycho-social, and spiritual care in addition to the
medical oversight necessary to meet the patient’s unique needs.
The professionals who comprise the hospice “team” are trained
in providing support and care for not only the individual patient
but, the entire family as they take on the challenges of care-giving
R
and grieving. The team helps patients, their partners, and their
loved ones focus on setting and achieving realistic end-of-life goals
for whatever time remains.
Current standards for hospices are set out by the National
Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. Those standards, in part,
include the following:
“Hospice provides support and care for persons in the last
phases of incurable diseases so that they may live as fully and
comfortably as possible. Hospice recognizes dying as part of
the normal process of living and focuses on maintaining the
quality of remaining life. Hospice affirms life and neither
hastens nor postpones death. Hospice exists in the hope and
belief that through appropriate care and the promotion of a
caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and
families may be free to attain a degree of mental and spiritual
preparation for death that is satisfactory to them.”
For the journey of a lifetime,
you’ll need a friend...
let us help.

For most of us, it is far easier to contemplate our own death
than to accept that a loved one has entered into the final season of
life. There is no welcome time for this realization. However, when
a cure is not available, comfort is. Lighthouse Hospice specializes
in providing comfort and care.
Each year, the month of November is nationally recognized as
“Hospice and Palliative Care Month”. Hospice organizations such as
Lighthouse Hospice, the New Jersey Hospice and Palliative Care
Organization, the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization,
and the Hospice Foundation of America host events to increase
awareness of palliative and hospice care. Many of these organizations “celebrate” their employees, volunteers, and caregivers who
bring quality to the lives of patients throughout our country. As an
individual, you can help celebrate hospice by supporting your local
hospice, state and/or national hospice organizations.
Lighthouse Hospice would especially like to thank its
employees, volunteers and its many friends in the community such
as the staff at Burlington County Woman and Camden County
Woman magazines for their dedication to and continuing support
of Lighthouse Hospice.
If you would like more information about hospice and
palliative care, please contact Lighthouse Hospice at

A New Paradigm For Wholistic Health and Healing
ouldn’t it be wonderful
to wake u p e v e r y d a y
excited, energetic, grateful
and appreciative…knowing
you can handle any challenges that life throws
your way? That “positive” energy and flow is
possible for everyone, but it is a conscious and
active choice we make for better “health”…
“Wholistic Health”. This concept of health
encompasses and enhances the “whole
person”, rather than viewing or treating our
individual parts or functions as separate
entities. The body, mind and spirit are not
independent of one another. They are intertwined. What affects one affects the
others. No one science or specialty or style
has all the answers for bringing a person to
optimal health. As breakthroughs in modern
medicine continue to evolve rapidly and the
benefits of alternative healing modalities are
better understood, we are able to take our
health and wellness to a whole another level.
HOPE Medical Spa sets the precedence
for an innovative wholistic paradigm in
beauty, health and wellness. We believe the
best investment you can make is having

Multiple Sclerosis and Women
ultiple Sclerosis
affects women up
to four times as
often as men, it is
an unpredictable, disabling disease of
the central nervous system with symptoms
ranging from numbness and tingling to blindness and
paralysis. MS is not contagious, directly inherited, or always
severely disabling. Being diagnosed with MS is not a reason to
stop working, stop doing things that you enjoy or give up hope of
having children. MS symptoms vary between individuals and
fatigue is a common symptom. One woman commented that living
with MS was like walking under water with a fur coat on.

Society of the Greater Delaware Valley to provide home care
services to those living with MS in South Jersey. We can help a
little or we can help a lot. We can prepare meals, throw in a load
of laundry or provide transportation to doctor appointments. Our
caregivers are knowledgeable about this disease and understand
the toll that it takes on one’s body and mind. Let us help you with
your activities of daily living or just be there to give you encouragement and support.

Do You Need An MRI? Relax.
If you need an MRI, you need to know you have a choice of where to get one.
Fact is, your insurance carrier is going to pay the same amount for you to have
your MRI at a facility in a traditional "closed-in" claustrophobic unit—
or here at UPRIGHT MRI where you can actually relax.
You can choose.
That’s right. Where you choose to have your MRI is, in fact, your choice.
If you are frightened by a “closed-in” MRI unit, you have the choice to come
to UPRIGHT MRI, where you will sit up for the procedure, watch TV,
AND yes, relax. What’s more, the results of your MRI will be read by one
of the nation's top-rated radiologists, G. Tom Morea, MD.
Just another reason to relax.
Check out your options. More expensive equipment that won’t cost you
any more than any other source.
Trust us. Call the number below for your appointment. Then... Relax!

of my patients say they have
always had a ‘magic number’ of children in
mind, and when they reach that number, they
are done. Other women have less concrete
plans, and simply decide they have all the
children they want or can handle.
When a woman is absolutely sure her
family is complete, it is important for her to
carefully evaluate what type of birth control
method she wants to use going forward. Of
course, she wants to be protected from an
unplanned pregnancy, but it’s also important
for her to choose the best form of birth
control for her lifestyle. Unfortunately, many
women simply assume that their current birth
control is the best fit, when there may be a
better solution for them.
At some point in their lives, most women
will use a form of hormonal contraception.
It may be an oral contraceptive, a patch or
ring, or an IUD that contains hormones.
While The Pill and its counterparts can be a
perfectly good solution for some women,
many women do not want to remain on
hormones throughout
their 30s and 40s due
to blood pressure, heart
disease or lifestyle
concerns (such as
smoking or obesity).
When evaluating
birth control methods,
women

Ovarian
Cancer
Is there a good screening test
for this cancer; I’ve heard about
ultrasound and CA125?
How common is ovarian cancer?
It is estimated that 1 in 3 women will
get some type of cancer in their lifetime.
Ovarian cancer, although it receives much
press, is a rare cancer. To put this into
perspective, the risk that a woman will get
breast cancer is 1 in 8. The risk that a
woman will get ovarian cancer is 1 in 55 to
70. The average age at diagnosis is 63, but
women can get this cancer at any age.
Currently it is estimated that 21,880
women will be stricken and 13,850 will die
of this disease in 2010.
Are there risk factors that
increase or decrease one’s risk
of getting this disease?
Yes. Women who have never had
children, infertile women, and women with
a family history of breast and ovarian
cancer are at increased risk. Having
children, breast-feeding, and/or a history
of hysterectomy decreases a woman’s risk.
The most important way for a woman
to decrease her risk is to take the birth
control pill. Being on the pill reduces a
woman’s risk of ovarian and uterine cancer
by about 50%. It is estimated that approximately 1,700 cases of ovarian cancer are
prevented each year by the use of the pill.
How common is inheriting
ovarian cancer?
The good news is that only about
5-10% of ovarian cancers
are hereditary. Hereditary
ovarian and breast cancers do
exist. These cancers can be
transmitted from the father’s
as well as from the mother’s
side of the family. Mutations of the BRCA
gene are the most common type of
inherited breast and ovarian cancers. This
new genetic knowledge can be very
important for families at risk. In some
cases genetic testing can be done. It is
important that you keep a written and
thorough family medical history.
Maintaining copies of your medical
records is very important.
Why is ovarian cancer so difficult
to cure?
The major reason is that most cases
of ovarian cancer present in advanced
stages when cure is less likely. The good
news is that advanced ovarian cancer is
very treatable and highly responsive to
chemotherapy. The survival rate for
advanced ovarian cancer has seen recent
improvement.
Unfortunately today we do not have a
screening test for ovarian cancer. Ultrasound examinations cannot tell with
enough accuracy which enlargements of the
ovary are benign or malignant. The CA125
may be elevated because of many benign
conditions such as endometriosis, and
uterine fibroids. One study
showed that only 50% of
early cases of ovarian cancer
have elevated CA125 levels.
Currently much research
is being done in this area
to develop an accurate
screening test.
New tumor markers,
OVA1 and HE4, are currently available.
Future research will determine their potential.
What are the symptoms of
ovarian cancer?
The most common symptoms are an
enlargement of the ovary or fluid build up
(ascites) in the abdomen. The symptoms of
bloating, swelling, pain in the abdomen or
lower back that persist should be a signal to
go to your doctor for a thorough examination, which should include a pelvic
examination.
What is the usual treatment for
this disease?
Most women undergo surgery to
remove as much tumor as possible
(debulking surgery) followed by approximately 6 months of chemotherapy.
Is the Pap smear a good
screening test for this cancer?
I’ve heard a lot about Robotic
Surgery. Is it science fiction or
reality?
No. The Pap smear is a good screening
test to find precancer and cancer cells of
the cervix. The Pap smear does not detect
ovarian cancer cells.
Robotic Surgery was refined by the
military for wartime use, and is now used
for advanced minimally invasive surgery.
Healing time is improved with less pain.

treatment of the patient with gynecologic cancer. The input of a

medical team. They are also available for advice and second opinions.
The Center for
Cancer and
Hematologic
Disease is on the

use of Robotic
Surgery in
ovarian cancer.
Are there any dumb questions that I shouldn’t ask
my doctor?
No. The only dumb questions are those that you did not ask. It
is easy to forget an important question while you are in the doctor’s
office, so I encourage patients and family to try to write down
questions ahead of time and ask them as they pop in to your mind.
Don’t ever be afraid to ask.
Patients often go home the same day and are back to work in 2-3
weeks. Robotic-assisted surgery gives the surgeon unprecedented
dexterity with 3D vision to perform advanced surgery through
small incisions using small wristed robotic instruments. We are
proud to have been one of the pioneers in the use of Robotic
Surgery in South Jersey. We have been on the forefront of the use
of Robotic Surgery in ovarian cancer.
Are there any new developments in the surgical
and medical management of this disease?
Yes. On the surgical front there are new surgical tools in
addition to robotic surgery, such as the CUSA (a device which
helps surgeons remove as much of the tumor as possible). This
valuable tool is now available at many hospitals in the region. On
the chemotherapy front we have many new effective agents such
as Taxotere, Doxil, Gemcitabine, Topotecan, and Avastin to help
in the treatment of this disease.
We also have many new drugs to help combat the side effects
of chemotherapy so that most patients get through the treatments
with little toxicity. Many patients continue to work and enjoy life
while going through treatment. Outpatient chemotherapy has made
treatment much more convenient for the patient.

Fertility doctors are able to roughly gauge a woman’s egg
reserve through a simple blood test performed on the third day after
her menstrual cycle begins. Women who have severely limited egg
reserve are unlikely to have a successful pregnancy even with the
use of assisted reproductive techniques such as in-vitro fertilization.
Far and away the highest chance for a successful pregnancy for
these women is to use egg donation. These eggs can then be
fertilized with the sperm of the patient’s partner. One or two of the
resulting embryos are then placed into the recipient’s uterus by a
technique that feels similar to getting a Pap smear. Any remaining
embryos can, at the patient’s request, be frozen to preserve them for
more pregnancy attempts in the future.
This process is known as a “donor egg cycle.” Nationwide over
9,500 such cycles are performed annually. The birthrate per cycle is
55% according to the 2007 national registry published by the
Society for Reproductive Technology (SART). Our center began
performing donor egg cycles for patients in 1999. The most recent
statistics for our center’s live birth rate as published by SART is
61% for all of our donor egg cycles in 2007. These patients carry
their pregnancy in their womb just like a naturally-conceived
pregnancy. The resulting offspring is genetically related to the male
partner. This year we have made the process even easier for the
mother-to-be. She no longer needs to receive daily intramuscular
progesterone shots in the rump. Those “long needles” have been
successfully replaced by a vaginal gel or insert.
The egg donor can be either a friend or family member of the
patient, or the donor can be an anonymous woman chosen from a list
of prospective donors who are age 20-32. These donors must pass
medical and psychological testing before being accepted. We have

pressure in each eye with a specialized, high magnification microscope. Patients who have a history of elevated or borderline eye
pressure, patients who are taking glaucoma medication or patients
with a family history of glaucoma should discuss this before
considering treatment with Latisse™. Latisse™ solution is applied
with a sterile applicator to the upper eyelid only, and only once a
day as directed.
As an ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained oculoplastic
surgeon, I recommend that patients consider the credentials of the
treating physician, their experience with aesthetic procedures, and
their knowledge of eye/eyelid anatomy. Eye plastic surgeons are
uniquely qualified as specialists of the eyelid and are able to monitor
the eye pressure or any potential ocular/lid adverse effects. For more information visit our Web site at: www.eyecareofnewjersey.com.

When Mom or Dad Can No Longer Live on
Their Own, Home Care Can Help
aren Labenz, 46, always thought of
her father Joseph as the bedrock of
the family. That’s why, two years
ago, it came as no surprise to
Labenz when Joseph, 85, insisted on caring for
her mother, whose long-standing battle with
chronic heart failure left her unable to perform
many activities of daily living on her own.
Unfortunately, last year, Joseph suffered a
stroke, leaving Labenz and her three siblings
scrambling to find care for both parents. That’s
when they turned to home care.
“It may be difficult to know when it is time
to get help for mom or dad,” said Ramona
Phillips, director of Bayada Nurses adult
personal care office in Burlington County. If an
adult child can answer yes to some of the
following questions, then mom or dad may
benefit from home care.”
Is there a decline in personal hygiene?
Do they appear unsteady when walking or
have difficulty getting in or out of a chair?
Can they put their shoes on? Do they admit to
any recent falls?
K
Is there unusual bruising or skin tears?
Do you sense a lack of interest or ability in
keeping up with housekeeping
Are they losing track of their medications, or
not taking recommended doses?
Are they driving dangerously or do they
easily become lost in familiar areas?
Have they stopped preparing meals or eating
at regular times, or missing them completely?
Are they leaving the stove on or cigarettes
burning?
When it came to her mother, Labenz could
answer yes to many of these questions. The
aides helped get her mom get up and dressed,
prepared meals, and provided much-needed
companionship.
“My mom enjoyed old cowboy and Indian
movies, and she loved it when the aides watched
them with her,” Labenz reminisced. “They were
wonderful to her, so caring and patient.”
When Joseph Labenz returned home
following rehab, he needed around the clock
care. “Bayada provided home health aides 24/7
for both mom and dad,” said Labenz. “Thanks
to Bayada, I could rest easy, knowing that both
my parents were in excellent hands.”
The Labenz family suffered another blow in
June of 2009 when her mother passed away. “So
many people from Bayada came to her funeral,
they were just wonderful,” said Labenz, who has
since found a cousin to care for her father during
the day, but still has Bayada home health aides
provide care at night. In addition, Bayada has
sent nurses to the home when Joseph needed
care for a difficult to heal wound.
According to Phillips, Bayada Nurses offers
skilled nursing, physical therapy, and personal
care services such as bathing and grooming,
light housekeeping and companionship. All
staff are fully insured, and Bayada’s stringent
hiring standards ensure that aides, nurses, and
therapists have the skill and experience needed
to ensure mom and dad remain safe in the
comfort of home. To learn more or to schedule a free evaluation
by a registered nurse, call 856-231-0200 or visit
www.bayada.com.

We take ordinary individuals and give them
the tools they need to get extraordinary results.
Real fitness is a lifestyle change that should
include an integrated approach of exercise,
nutrition, support and accountability…so…NO
more excuses…you really have nothing to lose
except the part of you that you didn’t want anyway!
There are so many choices when it comes to
choosing a fitness center it’s sometimes hard to
know what to look for. As a Fitness and Training
studio, we differentiate ourselves from a
standard fitness facility because we operate from
a “quality of experience” focus rather than a pure
volume model like most large clubs.
You see, there are a lot of people out there
who pay for a gym membership but never actually
use it. And that’s a critical aspect of any health
club membership — you actually have to use it to
get results!
Our primary focus is
to ensure that you
achieve the goals you
have set for yourself.
Having a coach overseeing your program and
progress is the key to
success. Without this
type of personalized
attention, many people
fail. We want our
members to achieve lifechanging results.
Taking all of the
basic principles and
proven concepts of
“functional & endurance”
training and a comprehensive fitness assessment, you will soon see
your daily activities
becoming easier, your
endurance will increase,
you’ll feel better about
your appearance and
your overall health will
improve. Nothing brings
us more joy than to
know that we have
positively impacted
someone’s life.
| 21 |
Our “Road Map to Success” is fairly simple.
First you need to start with a program that’s
properly designed and second you need personal
accountability and a good coach. If you don’t
show up, we’ll be calling to find out why! It’s
exactly this type of accountability that most
people need to help them stick to a program and
get great results!
We make exercise fun!
You won’t get bored here, our trainers create
new programs every week. Our exercise disciplines range from beginner to experienced
exerciser and our enthusiasm to help you succeed
is never ending!
If you like personalized attention, creative
and fun workouts, small group training classes
and being in a non-judgmental, comfortable
environment at a very affordable cost…then
check out our website, look at our videos and then
schedule a FREE fitness & nutrition consultation!
We are so confident that you will achieve
results…we will give you a “90 Day Money
Back Guarantee”. For more information visit Drop10Fitness.com or call

public figures, and visit far away worlds. At
the same time, she understood what she
said and the messages conveyed really
mattered to those who were listening.
Viewers relied on her and Allen saw her
role as one of public service even before
entering the world of politics.
Of the many people and faces, Allen
recalls meeting Pope John Paul II and
seeing this man who was an icon. “He was
bigger than life but so human.” She relished
the challenge of translating his down to
earth nature to others unable to be in his
| 22 |
I
“I often tell young adults ‘don’t worry
about losing your first job’ as more doors
will open,” Allen says. “If I hadn’t held true
to my beliefs, said no to my first boss and
gotten fired, I’d probably still be at the
same radio station. Instead, I went to work
for the New Jersey Network and have
never looked back.”
As a journalist and reporter, Senator
Allen had a great opportunity to meet
presence. Similarly, her visit to Thailand ten
years after the Vietnam War ended was
something she has never quite forgotten.
Allen and her crew were able to gain untethered access to POW camps and boat
people. In such a big yet small world, they
were even able to locate siblings of a
Philadelphia resident.
“I could go on and on about all the
experiences afforded to me as a reporter,
including traveling around the world
producing a documentary about miracles
and other life-changing memories. I hope
that through my journeys others were able
to grow with me,” she adds.
It was this relationship with people that
lead Senator Allen to the next phase of her
life. She never really considered politics in
her years as a reporter but quickly realized
that in a legislative capacity, she would be
able to take her voice, create awareness
and affect change. As State Senator, Allen
has done just that – addressing far too
many issues to list.
At the age of 16, Senator Diane Allen
spent the summer on a mission in Puerto
Rico and saw first hand how even the
smallest gesture can help others. It was
where she learned the concept of public
service and recognized her desire to go
above and beyond in making a difference.
Today, her mission continues.
Many of Senator Allen’s efforts have
been in support of women and as a
longtime proponent Allen was active in
legislation to provide victims of domestic
violence the support needed to leave their
abusers. She explains that, “What many do
not recognize is that leaving is far more
difficult than just walking out the door and
these women need someone to help.”
The Senator is also proud of her work
on the “No Early Release” law, which
ensures violent offenders must serve at
least 85% of their sentence. She states that
most criminals commit 13 offenses before
ever being caught and recalls the local case
of a convicted felon who was released after
18 months. He subsequently killed his
girlfriend and raped her daughter.
“Some times we are a person’s last
In a career that has spanned nearly 40 years, Senator Diane Allen
has had a voice that spoke to people, with people and for people.
She is a woman committed to standing on principle and openly
admits that she’s lost jobs because of it. The Senator is also an
advocate dedicated to public service, changing the lives of those
who may not be able to do so on their own. Most of all, Diane Allen
is a woman with tremendous strength, faith and purpose.

resort and it is all about saving and improving lives,” Allen admits.
It is her compassion, or passion, that inspires strength of purpose
and ultimately makes an impact.
Now back at work, Allen’s personal challenges of this past year
also impacted her work. Professionally, the Senator has returned
to the world of politics with a renewed sense of purpose. She says
that, “I am reinvigorated and so thankful to be a part of the senate
and helping people in this county, this state and this country. What
a gift!”
There are so many issues that touch people’s lives and Senator
Allen excels at handling many at one time each with the same level
of passionate commitment. Currently, Senator Allen is working to
find money in the State budget to reinstate funds for women’s
health.
In addition to advancing women’s healthcare, there are other
issues the Senator is focused on, including the passing of Jessica’s
Law. Currently, New Jersey is one of only a handful of states that has
not enacted such legislation to effectively punish sex offenders and
reduce the likelihood of re-offenses.
Another tough matter involves eminent domain or the
government’s ability to take private property for public use in
exchange for compensation to the owner. Recently, there has been
a trend to use land acquired through this law for private purposes
– for example, demolishing old housing and building newer, more
expensive condominiums.
“This hits those who are often already struggling– those with
lower income, the elderly and minority groups. In many cases the
money they are given for their homes is not enough to put them
in a similar situation anywhere else,” Allen explains. “I feel strongly
that someone needs to be the voice for the voiceless.”
l The Woman
This year, Senator Allen was faced with one of her greatest
challenges, yet her battle with oral cancer shed a new and different
light on life. She recognized the importance of living in the
moment and noticing even the smallest of details – like the joy of
looking up to see a cloudless blue sky or watching a bright yellow
caterpillar as it makes its way through the vines.
“As part of my recovery, there was a time when I had to be
closed off from the world and many of the sights I may have taken
for granted,” Allen explains. “Before my surgery, I took time to
memorize all my favorite sights, so when needed, I could bring
them to mind.”
Senator Allen’s strength prevailed through three surgeries and
on-going treatment. When told she may not speak again, that
would just not do. “I have three young grandchildren and while I
recorded many of their favorite books for when I was immersed in
speech therapy, there was not a chance I would not read to them,”
Allen says passionately. “I still do.”
When asked what she is most proud of, Senator Allen reflects
on her family and the people whom she touches every day. She is
so thankful for both. “I cannot tell you how many thousands of
letters, emails and words of kindness I received over this past year.
The outpouring of support and caring is more than I could have
ever imagined and something that made such a difference. I am
so appreciative and hope to be able to continue trying to make
peoples lives better.” Profile by Glori Gayster, GDG Consulting, Inc., www.gdgconsulting.com.

Thermography uses FDA approved infra-red
technology to detect the first signs that a breast

procedure. An abnormal Thermogram is the
single most important marker of high risk for
developing breast cancer, more important even
than family history. It’s a safe, non-radiologic,
non-invasive, painless test with absolutely no
known adverse effects or contraindications.
Our workshop focuses on creating healthier
lifestyles for ALL ages. Learn how our
physician-led, 3-part program of support,
knowledge and nutritional balance is simple to
implement in your busy everyday life. The
program is a clinically proven effective aid in

Disability Insurance: More Important
Than Life Insurance? (Part 2 of 3)
hile most Americans insure their lives and material assets, like
their homes, cars, etc., many overlook the need to protect their
most valuable asset — the ability to earn an income.
In my last column, I reviewed individual disability insurance (“D.I.”).
This article will look at group disability insurance policies, commonly
referred to as “LTD” policies. First, though, everyone should be familiar with
New Jersey’s law, which provides up to six months of disability benefits.
W
Short-Term Disability (STD) Benefits:
All disability claims begin with a claim for “short-term” benefits
(STD) as opposed to long-term disability benefits (LTD). If you live and
work in New Jersey, you have the benefit of the fact that New Jersey is one
of only five states which provides compulsory short-term disability
benefits to workers (Pennsylvania, for example, does not). Under the New
Jersey Temporary Disability Benefits Law, cash benefits are payable when
you cannot work because of sickness or injury not caused by your job.
Employees whose employment is covered by the New Jersey
Unemployment Law are also protected by a mandatory disability
insurance system. In order to have a valid claim for disability, you must
have had at least 20 calendar weeks in covered NJ employment in which
you earned $143 or more (called “base weeks”), or have earned $7,200 or
more in such employment, during the 52 weeks immediately before the
week in which you became disabled (called “base year”). The weekly
benefit amount is calculated on the basis of your average weekly wage.
Claimants are paid 2/3 of their average weekly wage up to the maximum
amount payable, which is $546.00 for disabilities beginning on or after
January 1, 2009. The maximum amount of benefits which may be paid
for each period of disability is 2/3 of the total wage in New Jersey covered
employment paid to you during the base year, or 26 times the weekly
benefits amount, whichever is less.
You may be eligible for temporary disability insurance benefits if you are
disabled due to pregnancy. Eligibility for benefits is determined in the same

cannot do your regular work.
Long-Term Disability (LTD) Benefits:
If you have the misfortune of being unable to return to work after six
months, but had the foresight to have purchased long-term disability
insurance, you should now make a claim for LTD benefits. Most LTD
claimants have purchased long-term disability insurance through their
employers, pursuant to the federal law known by the acronym “ERISA”.
There are marked differences between individual and group policies,
primarily because of the differences between the “common law” and
ERISA. Suffice to say that claims brought under the ERISA law tend to be
more difficult to win if they are denied and/or terminated. Regardless of
which type of long-term disability insurance you may have, there are some
general rules of thumb to keep in mind:
1. First, be sure to obtain and read a copy of your actual policy. As
simple as this may sound, I have found that few people ever bother to do
this, and most employers don’t provide a copy unless specifically asked.
You have a right to obtain a copy of your policy and you are strongly
advised to read it fully as soon as possible. Your policy, in conjunction
with the ERISA law, defines your rights and duties. Important: obtain
the actual policy, not just a summary from an employee handbook.
2. Complete and file your claims application in a timely fashion. I
suggest to my clients that, whenever possible, they employ certified mail.
It is not unusual for claims to be denied because of the allegation that a
claim was not received in time. Watch your deadlines carefully. Just as
important, it is up to you to follow up with your doctor(s) to make sure that
he/she completes any necessary claim forms timely as well. Whenever
possible, review the claim form with your doctor personally (or at least
with the doctor’s nurse or secretary), make sure it is signed by the doctor,
and then file it yourself with your employer or your employer’s insurer.
Similarly, if, as in most cases, your disability plan is being administered
by an insurance company, be sure that your employer provides any
documentation necessary, e.g., proof of earnings, job description, etc.
3. If you have supplied your employer and/or insurer with all documentation requested, don’t assume that your claim will be quickly approved.
Delays are common. Don’t be afraid to follow up on a regular basis to
ascertain the status of your claim. Document all telephone conversations and
make written inquiries. If additional documentation is requested, make sure
it is provided as quickly as possible, notwithstanding that all too often these
requests for “additional documentation” are unnecessary and used by insurers
to delay and discourage claimants. Regardless of the request, don’t give the
insurer any reason to deny your claim based on “lack of cooperation.”
Standard Provisions:
Long-term disability policies under ERISA typically have a number of
other significant provisions which could dramatically affect your claim.
One provision typically restricts claims for “mental impairment” to 24
months. This provision can get particularly nasty for claimants who have
a physical disability but are also suffering from depression. Insurance
companies will often invoke the “mental impairment” clause to terminate
claims, even when depression is a secondary diagnosis. By no means

Domestic Violence Awareness Month
President Barack Obama issued the following proclamation
on October 1, 2009, asking all Americans to do their part to
end domestic violence. Please join Burlington County Woman
Magazine in our efforts to raise awareness of domestic
violence during Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2010.
omestic violence touches the lives of Americans
of all ages, leaving a devastating impact on
women, men, and children of every background and circumstance. A family's home
becomes a place of fear, hopelessness, and desperation when
a woman is battered by her partner, a child witnesses the
abuse of a loved one, or a senior is victimized by family
members. Since the 1994 passage of the landmark Violence
Against Women Act, championed by then Senator Joe Biden,
our Nation has strengthened its response to this crime and
increased services for victims. Still, far too many women and
families in this country and around the world are affected by
domestic violence. During National Domestic Violence
Awareness Month, we recommit ourselves to ending violence
within our homes, our communities, and our country.
To effectively respond to domestic violence, we must
provide assistance and support that meets the immediate
needs of victims. Facing social isolation, victims can find it
difficult to protect themselves and their children. They require
safe shelter and housing, medical care, access to justice,
culturally specific services, and economic opportunity. The
“

should you forego treatment for depression or
other mental health problems if you need it.
However, be sure that your medical records
accurately portray the physical predominance
of your disability, if this is the case.
Another common restriction allows for
termination of claims unless you can demonstrate the inability to return to any gainful
employment after 24 months, as opposed to the
inability to do only your previous job. This
standard is similar to that used in Social
Security Disability claims. This is also a
complex area, in which it may become
necessary to obtain a vocational assessment to
verify continuing disability.
In conclusion, long-term disability
insurance is vital. Buy as much as you can
afford through your employer if it is offered.
Better yet, buy your own private policy through
a reputable agent. And don’t overlook
applying for Social Security Disability if
your policy requires it and/or if you expect to
be disabled for at least one year.
In my next column, I will discuss the
interplay between Social Security Disability
and LTD benefits, as well as how to deal with
the denial of disability insurance claims. For more information, please call (856) 795-8880
or (609) 702-0700 or visit www.davidsbross.com.
Family Violence Prevention and Services Act supports
emergency shelters, crisis intervention programs, and
community education about domestic violence.
In the best of economic times, victims worry about
finding a job and housing, and providing for their children;
these problems only intensify during periods of financial
stress. That is why the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act provides $325 million for the Violence Against Women
Act (VAWA) and the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). This funding
will supplement the Federal VAWA and VOCA dollars that flow
to communities every year, and enable States, local governments, tribes, and victim service providers to retain and hire
personnel that can serve victims and hold offenders
accountable. These funds will also bring relief to victims
seeking a safe place to live for themselves and their children.
Victims of violence often suffer in silence, not knowing
where to turn, with little or no guidance and support. Sadly,
this tragedy does not just affect adults. Even when children are
not directly injured by violence, exposure to violence in the
home can contribute to behavioral, social, and emotional
problems. High school students who report having experienced physical violence in a dating relationship are more likely
to use drugs and alcohol, are at greater risk of suicide, and may
carry patterns of abuse into future relationships. Our efforts to
address domestic violence must include these young victims.
We put
During this month, we rededicate ourselves to
breaking the cycle of violence. By providing young people
with education about healthy relationships, and by
changing attitudes that support violence, we recognize that
domestic violence can be prevented. We must build the
capacity of our Nation's victim service providers to reach
and serve those in need. We urge community leaders to
raise awareness and bring attention to this quiet crisis. And
across America, we encourage victims and their families to
call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799SAFE. Together, we must ensure that, in America, no victim
of domestic violence ever struggles alone.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested
in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United
States, do hereby proclaim October 2009, as National
Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I ask all Americans
to do their part to end domestic violence in this country
by supporting their communities' efforts to assist victims
in finding the help and healing they need.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first
day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine,
and of the Independence of the United States of America the
two hundred and thirty-fourth.” Proclamation 8428 issued by President Barack Obama on

St. Andrew’s Nursery School and Kindergarten
The First Step In The Right Direction!!!
eaving the nest at age two or three? While
it’s not a practical age to head off to college
or tie the knot, experts agree that it is an
ideal age to start nursery school.
Mrs. Jill Mayo, (M.Ed), director at St. Andrew’s
Nursery School and
Kindergarten in Cherry
Hill, a winner of “Best
Nursery School in South
Jersey” (9 years), says
that considerable research
has been done to help
parents and educators
better understand the
role of nursery school
for two and three year
olds. “The studies tell us
Jill Mayo, M.Ed
that education has a
stronger impact on youngsters at this age than
at any other,” remarks Mayo. She adds that research
also indicates that education has a more lasting
effect on the children at this age as well.
“Our teachers in the two and three year old
programs recognize the important part they are
playing in the youngsters’ lives. “They are actually nurturing the students
of the future,” comments Mayo. As a result, the school strives to provide a
warm, stimulating and non-competitive atmosphere.

While environment is an important ingredient in selecting an ageappropriate program for two and three year olds, Mayo feels parents
should also be aware of the developmental focus of the program. The
philosophy and main emphasis for the two and three year olds at
St. Andrew’s is socialization skills and early school routines.
“Even the best home environment needs to be tempered with early
contacts with groups of children to encourage socialization and emotional
skill development,” suggests Mayo. “Our two and three year old programs
develop skills such as sharing, taking turns, and relating warmly and
respectfully to others throughout the activities that make up the school
routines. She explains that stories, fingerplays and songs are the primary
tools for teaching language skills in the pre-school program. Cognitive
skills (shapes, colors, and counting, for example) are developed by using
games, toys, circle time discussions and small group art projects.
Parents are usually eager for their pre-school child to attend nursery
school to be with other children, notes Mayo. But they often express concerns
that “school work” may be too intimidating for their youngster. Mayo is quick
to reassure them. “A child’s work is his play. It should always be fun!”
The program also enhances motor skills. Gross motor activities are
developed on the spacious outdoor playground, in the indoor
playroom and the full-size gymnasium, all of which are well-stocked
with age-appropriate equipment.
“I encourage parents to visit St. Andrew’s when they are considering
a nursery school for their two or three year old,” says Mayo. She thinks this
is particularly helpful for parents who feel their youngster may be
overwhelmed by a classroom setting. “When parents see the interest
centers, child-size equipment, and meet the incredible educators that staff
the program, their fears quickly disappear,” Mayo says.
Making an informed decision is a sound approach for all parents at
every step of the educational process,” concludes Mayo. She adds, “I like
to think of St. Andrew’s program for two and three year olds as the first
step in the right direction.” To request a brochure or schedule a tour of the facility, parents are invited
to call the school office at 856-429-4470. Visit our website for more information www.staNurserySchool.com. Only limited openings are available.

Tips When Choosing Skin Care and
Makeup Products for Skin with Rosacea
onsistent, gentle skin care and effective use of makeup
can make a visible difference in managing rosacea and
improving the look of your skin. The key is to use
products and techniques that minimize irritation. One
good guide: look for products that are noted as appropriate for
sensitive skin or skin with rosacea — and avoid any products that
sting, burn or cause irritation.
In a National Rosacea Society survey of 1,066 patients, 41
percent reported that certain skin-care products aggravated their
condition and 27 percent said certain cosmetics also caused
rosacea flare-ups. To avoid irritation, follow these tips when
choosing skin-care and makeup products:
Watch out for common rosacea irritants. In surveys conducted
by the National Rosacea Society, many patients cited the
following ingredients as triggers for irritation: alcohol (66

percent), witch hazel (30 percent), fragrance (30 percent),
menthol (21 percent), peppermint (14 percent) and eucalyptus
oil (13 percent). Most respondents said they avoided astringents,
exfoliating agents and other types of products that may be too
harsh for sensitive skin.
Choose fragrance-free skin-care and makeup products.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology,
“Fragrances cause more allergic contact dermatitis than any
other ingredient.” Skin is a vast portal for allergens, and the
irritations allergies bring can weaken skin even more. Using
fragrance-free and allergy-tested products reduces your risk of
skin irritation. Note that “allergy tested” shouldn’t be confused
with “hypoallergenic,” a term that is not clearly defined by the
cosmetics industry.
Test a product first. Before using a product on your face, try it
on a patch of skin in a peripheral area, such as the neck. If you
have a reaction,
avoid the product
and note the ingredients. Rosacea
irritants may vary
from person to
person, so your
individual skin’s
reaction should be
your guide.
Use minimal products. Rosacea
patients should also
consider reducing
the number of
items they use on
their skin by
choosing products
with multiple
functions. Reprinted with permission from the National

Free Weatherization Assistance Program
he Burlington County Community Action Program
(BCCAP) Weatherization Assistance Program mission is
to reduce heating and cooling costs for low-income
residents of Burlington County, particularly for the
elderly, people with disabilities, and families with children, by
improving the energy efficiency of their homes and ensuring their
health and safety, at no cost to eligible residents.
The Weatherization Program may provide free energy upgrades
to eligible families who apply such as heater/hot water heater
replacements, insulation, refrigerator replacement, programmable
thermostats, energy saving light bulbs, window caulking and
stripping doors. The programs helps families understand how
proper insulation levels can make a difference in the comfort of
homes as well as save them money.
Once a family meets the income guidelines and are approved,
a professional technician will perform an energy audit of the home
using the latest technology. If major air leaks and heat loss are
identified, the technician will seal up these areas and retrofit inefficient heating systems.
There is no catch! This program is paid through your tax
dollars. There is no cost to eligible homeowners and renters for any
labor or materials, nor is any lien ever placed upon the house
because of this program. However, 25% of the total cost to provide
energy conservation services to renters is charged to the landlords
T
of the property and 50% of the cost for heater system work is to be
paid by the landlord of rental property.
Air leaks make houses uncomfortable and more expensive to
heat. You need to save money and conserve energy, and through
Weatherization both can be accomplished!
Don’t Delay and Weatherize Today! For more information

The sink industry is being revolutionized!
Sinks and types of installation
methods have gone through an
evolution of materials, designs, and
ingenuity. The Neanderthals used
large rocks that were eroded into concave
shapes by centuries of rain, as sinks.
The sink of today was introduced in the
1920s by the Monel Company, who
manufactured sinks out of various metals
including carbon, nickel, iron, manganese
and silicon. During World War II those
metals were needed for the war effort,
forcing change in the sink industry.
Stainless Steel sinks were introduced.
Today there are a wide variety of materials
to choose from: stainless steel, ceramic,
glass, stone, wood, and now reinforced
acrylic sinks.
The material aspects of sinks are not
the only innovations. Sink integration has
also changed the industry. Before you
were limited to a top mount, drop in or
under mount installation. Then the integral
sink concept was introduced. This is a
process where the sink and the countertop
are fused together giving you a one piece
worktop system. This method was first
introduced in the solid surface industry. It
was, and still is, the ultimate choice when
it comes to hygiene and aesthetics.
The industry is once again being
revolutionized. You can now get the same
S
“seamed in” sink appearance and
performance with a laminate top.
Wilsonart, the leader in the laminate
industry, has introduced their line of
Wilsonart HD sinks. Wilsonart HD sinks
are reinforced acrylic sinks designed to be
under mounted to laminate countertops.
Wilsonart has developed an adhesive and
installation method giving you a smooth
transition from the laminate countertop
into the sink.
The sinks have a curvaceous appeal.
They include an integrated faucet deck
with enough additional space for soap and
sponges. HD sinks are deep and roomy
with the drain position at the back of the
sink leaving more storage room in the
cabinet below.
HD sinks are strong, heat resistant and
stain resistant, and are renewable. There
are different style kitchen sinks as well as
a vanity sinks available.
Karran is a unique solid surface sink.
It is produced from a specially formulated
acrylic resin, vacuum-formed and then
reinforced for strength with a polyester/
fiberglass mix on the underside of the sink.
In 2000, Karran developed a simple and
effective method of permanently bonding
their sinks to laminate. The counter and
sink have a smooth transition. This
mounting method provides a one piece
worktop system. In addition to bonding to
laminate, these sinks can be fused into
solid surface material, stone or quartz. The
sinks are not only stain, bacteria and
scratch resistant, but are heat and impact
resistant as well.
Like stainless steel sinks?
The EDGE Sink was recently introduced by Karran. This revolutionary
design has replaced the traditional rim with
a resin matrix consequently allowing a
smooth transition into the countertop. No
rims, no overhang, no mess! The Edge is
the world’s first stainless steel sink that can
be seamed under mounted (no lip) in
laminate, solid surface and stone
countertops achieving pure seamless
integration. The EDGE is manufactured
from18 gauge, type 304 stainless steel and
has a brushed stainless finish. Varieties
include kitchen, bath and bar sizes.
Wilsonart HD, Karran solid surface
and Karran Edge sinks are revolutionizing
the industry. These new sinks and
mounting methods offer the benefits that
you have come to expect: easy to keep
clean, no rims, no overhangs, all at a very
affordable price.

1. Preheat oven broiler. For burgers, mix ground beef, shredded
apple, onion, bacon, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and
pepper in large bowl until just combined (do not overwork
meat mixture). With damp hands, form mixture into twelve 2
1/2-inch-round patties.
2. Broil patties, on rack in broiling pan, 4 inches from heat for 8
to 12 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted near
centers reads 160° F., turning patties over halfway through
broiling (Or, grill patties on grill cooking screen or in grill
basket directly over medium heat, uncovered, for 8 to 12
minutes, turning over once.)
3. Place 1 cheese piece on the top of each patty. Continue
broiling (or cover grill and continue grilling) for 30 to 60
seconds or until cheese begins to melt.
4. To serve, spread aioli on bottoms of buns. Top with patties;
if desired, apple slices; and lettuce. Place bun tops on top to
close sandwiches. If desired, hold sandwiches closed with
wooden sandwich picks or 6-inch bamboo skewers.
* If buns are too thick, cut off a thin slice from the inside of each
bun half.
APPLE AIOLI: Stir together 1/3 cup mayonnaise and 5
teaspoons frozen apple juice concentrate until combined. Makes
about 1/3 cup.
