Meridian plans to train more area groups about defibrillators, including indi vidual municipal police departments in Monmouth and northern Ocean counties. Meridian has provided funding to some police departments to purchase these por table devices with the help of a fund established by the Point Pleasant Hospital Guild. “The Guild has been particularly proactive in responding to community health needs,” says Charlie Jarvis, executive director. Medical Center of Ocean County. “In the past, the Guild’s fundraising efforts focused on equipment and building projects. Today’s Guild is more in tune with community health initiatives that benefit entire groups. Meridian is also working with local organizations to purchase defibrillators. For instance. Meridian has collaborated with the Point Pleasant Rotary Club to match funds to buy two portable defibrillators for the Point Pleasant Borough Police Department, according to Jane Stone, director of Senior Services at Meridian, who has been very supportive in this endeavor. An AED is medical equipment that delivers an electric shock to a victim’s heart after suffering from cardiac arrest. It is lightweight, portable and relatively inexpensive (about $3000 each). Earlier this year, the 'Targeted Responder Defibrillation Act” passed through the New Jersey State Senate, allowing individuals not certified as paramedics, EMTs, or first re sponders to operate AEDs once they have taken the proper certification and training course. Lieutenant Michael Zagury of the Neptune Police Department testified on behalf of the American Heart Association in support of the act. To date, 42 states provide public places, trained to operate it.

The cause of the fire is pending an investigation by the New Jersey State Police Arson Department, which will be conducted after the boat is pumped and brought onto dry dock. The owners of the nearby boats caught in the blaze were Don Klimaszewski, Neptune, Charles Bertoli, Bayonne, and Garnig Shakarjian, Closter. The boats of Klimaszewski and Yucius were completely totaled, and the other boats sustained some structural damages. No one was on the boats when the fire broke out, and no one was injured. Hamilton First Aid, Unexcelled and Shark River Fire Companies, the Shark River Coast Guard, and the New Jersey State Police Arson Department all assisted in getting the blaze under control. The fight to extinguish the fire lasted only 45 minutes, with a half-hour of overhaul (the search for and extinguishment of any smaller flames that might burn after the major part of the blaze has been put out).

They held St. Mary’s scoreless till the 1:32 mark, H.I.S. had lessened the gap 35-42.

"0 > “As asthmatics, we think we are alone,” said Joyner-Kersee, “We want to hide when o we take our medicine. We’d rather sit and let our chests cave in than let people see that m we have a problem.” Joyner-Kersee recounted how she had to cease “living in denial” in order to pursue her dreams. She had to accept that she wasn’t performing at her fullest because she wasn’t following doctor’s orders. It wasn't her asthma that was stopping her, but her failure to take measures to control it, such as taking her medications and maintaining the proper environment. “The only person that can stop you from reaching your goals is you. If you live in denial, your dreams will be shattered,” Joyner-Kersee warned her young audience, “I stopped allowing asthma to control me. Now I control it, and so can you.” The asthma mobile learning center is a part of Governor Christine Todd Whitman’s Healthy New Jersey 2010 program, a health agenda that sets such goals as lowering the number of asthma-related deaths and hospital admissions in New Jersey. Meridian’s Vice President of Government and Community Relations Jean Marshall, Senate President Donald DiFrancesco, Senate President Pro Temp Joseph Palaia, As semblyman Tom Smith, and representatives from Glaxo-Wellcome, OceanFirst, and the Point Pleasant Hospital Guild were also in attendance to lend their support to the project.

Educational Items the On November 30, six-time Olympic track medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee opened up Holiday Gift Certificates to Asbury Park Middle School students and members of the community about the tough Seasoti est opponent she's faced in her career - asthma. • Games As a part of Meridian Health System’s campaign for asthma awareness, Joyner, an ■ Accessories asthmatic since age 19, visited the Middle School to help launch Meridian’s new mobile feanie babies asthma learning center, the Asthma Van. The van will travel to schools and events in Monmouth and Ocean Counties to teach asthma prevention, treatment and control. Citing that asthma, an inflammation of the lower airway that makes breathing difficult, 9Z^ Main Sireet esioss? is the number one cause of school absenteeism in the United States, Meridian CEO John M m r K. Lloyd stressed the importance of such programs to the community, and especially to young people. Saj^sHe Ti^asurcs “I would tour pediatrics on many occasions,” said Lloyd, “I was shocked at how many people in Intensive Care were affected with asthma. I thought, ‘There has to be a way to prevent this’...Staying in school is tough enough.” One asthmatic student. Tiffany Colon, 13, expressed the difficulties she encountered because of asthma. “Sometimes people make fun of kids with asthma, but having asthma is not furi,” said Colon, “I feel like somebody is crushing my chest. It’s really scary when you can’t get air TheA^^d Room into your lungs.” Joyner-Kersee assured children that, even with asthma, they can reach all of their goals, provided that they take measures to care for themselves and treat and control the .. .your C hristm as S tore illness. And who better to teach such a lesson than Joyner-Kersee, who overcame asthma to win 3 Olympic gold medals, 1 silver, 2 bronze, and has recently been dubbed "World’s Greatest Female Athlete” by Sports Illustrated.

Custom made windows, including storms, french doors, skylights and just about any type of window you might need is made right in this factory. Art and his crew come to your home, do the measurements, make the windows and install them. They're dependable and get the windows you want. Yes, it’s an old-fashioned family business...they still exist right in Asbury Park. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind last Thursday, when the new building was dedicated by Pastor Otto Dietrich that Asbury Park is on the rise because of people like Barbara and Art Addie. Mayor Ken (Butch) Saunders (left photo, center) helped with the ribbon cutting and also congratulated the Addie’s. Stop by, say hello and someday when you need new windows, you'll be back. Why? Because we all want quality products and we all want to be treated as if we are part of ’the family’...those are two of the things you get at Asbury Window Factory. 1001 Asbury Avenue and is open Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (732)774-5441.

That just about sums up the feeling that more than 80 people felt during this very special Re-Grand Opening of The Asbury Window Factory. Art, Barbara and their daughter Erika welcomed friends and local dignitaries to their newly reno vated factory this past Thursday, December 2, 1999. (Most of you know Barbara and Art.) The Window Factory has been in Asbury Park for more than 18 years...just up the road at 1221 Asbury Avenue. As of last week. The Asbury Window Factory’s new home is located at 1001 Asbury Avenue. Art and Barbara took an old dilapidated building (that was built at the turn of the century and is said to be an old stable) and completely renovated it in just two months. Deputy Mayor of Asbury Park, John Hamilton, stated it best, ’’ The citizens of this town have stood up for one voice for this city and have given it a gift of love and caring. The Addie’s could have moved from Asbury Park but instead, they decided to create an even larger factory in a beautifully renovated building. The Addie’s and their new location are symbolic of what is beginning to take place in Asbury Park. We are breaking ground on a $12 million office building and a medical center will begin construction soon, too. We have over 750,000 million dollars for redevelopment in this town. We want people to take advantage of the grants available to help bring Asbury Park back. We are a team...we are a community and we have goals...this business (Asbury Window Factory) is just the beginning." And that was what this dedication was all about. A *F /S to p beginning.
