<p align="left">Several events will take place throughout the City Including a Walkway Dedication in Honor of Jersey City&#8217;s Fallen</p>
<p align="left">Heroes and the &#8220;Reflections&#8221;9-11 Memorial Service</p>
<p>and the <strong>Jersey City 9/11 Memorial Committee </strong>will observe the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks with the annual <strong>9/11 Memorial Service &#8220;Reflections,&#8221; </strong>at <strong>8:20 a.m. </strong>on <strong>Sunday, September 11, 2011, </strong>at the <strong>foot of Grand Street </strong>on the <strong>Jersey City Waterfront. </strong>The public is encouraged to attend the patriotic ceremony.<span id="more-3939"></span></p>
<p></em></strong></p>
<p align="left">JERSEY CITY &#8211; Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy, the <strong>Municipal Council, </strong>the <strong>Division of Cultural Affairs </strong></p>
<p align="left">On September 11, 2001, Jersey City lost 37 residents in the devastating terrorist attacks. After the towers fell across the Hudson River, the Jersey City waterfront became a staging ground for recovery and relief efforts. Today, the 9/11 monument stands directly across the river from where the World Trade Center towers once stood. The names ofÂ  the 37 residents of Jersey City are etched on the monument as a memorial</p>
<p align="left">for future generations to remember with respect and honor.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;It was a tragic day in which the whole world stood still and offered prayers and condolences to the people of the United States of America,&#8221; said <strong>Mayor Healy. </strong>&#8220;Every year, Americans across the country stand united with remarkable spirit, compassion, and patriotism. September 11th is a day of reverent reflection in which we honor the victims and heroes of that day, as well as salute the many brave men and women who protect our liberties.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">The Mayor noted that contingents of Jersey City firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses and medical technicians were among the first responders to Ground Zero. A triage center was established in Liberty State Park and New York Waterway ferried thousands of injured people and workers from the devastated area in Lower Manhattan to safety in Jersey City. The Jersey City Medical Center, Greenville Hospital, Christ Hospital, and Saint Francis Hospital were the medical facilities where most of those brought to Jersey City were treated. Local funeral homes were called upon to offer assistance with the bodies of the victims. <strong></strong></p>
<p align="left">Since 2002, the <strong>Jersey City 9/11 Memorial Committee </strong>has observed the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist atacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the forced crash of a commercial aircraft, Flight 93, in a Pennsylvania field which had been commandeered by terrorists.</p>
<p align="left">The 9/11 ceremony will feature remarks by Mayor Healy and other officials. Prayers will be offered by clergy from various religious denominations. Special songs and inspirational music will also be part of the remembrance program. Continuing a spiritual custom started in 2002, there will be the recitation of the names of the residents of Jersey City killed in the attack. The chiming of a bell will accompany each name spoken.</p>
<p align="left">The commemoration will include poetry readings and a performance by award winning musician <strong>Victoria</strong>, who on September 11, 2001, was at 63 One World Trade Center Tower and survived one of the Lockhart most disastrous and heartbreaking events in our country&#8217;s history.</p>
<p align="left">Following the &#8220;Reflection&#8221; 9-11 Memorial Service at <strong>11:00 a.m.</strong>, the walkway at the foot of York Street, will be dedicated in honor of Jersey City&#8217;s two fallen heroes, <strong>Spc. Marlon P. Jackson </strong>and <strong>Spc. Rafael A.</strong>, who were both killed in combat. The City of Jersey City will forever remember the sacrifices Nieves, Jr. of these two brave soldiers who gave their lives in support of America during Operation Iraqi Freedom andÂ  Operation Enduring Freedom.</p>
<p align="left">Also as a symbol of American solidarity, the City of Jersey City joins the efforts of <strong>U.S. Senator Frank Launtenberg</strong>, who submitted a Senate bill requesting that at <strong>1:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time on</strong>, to the maximum extent practicable, all work and activity shall cease and shall be marked in appropriate manner, including ringing bells, blowing whistles, or sounding sirens in observance of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America by coming together as a one Nation.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;On this day, we shall join the rest of the nation in commemorating the values exemplified by the patriotism of the American people,&#8221; said <strong>Mayor Healy</strong>. &#8220;We shall honor the great sacrifices made by our first responders and our brave men and women in the United States Armed Forces who continue to protect our country at home and abroad.&#8221;</p>

<p>Â </p>
<p></strong></p>
<p align="left">U.S. Senator Frank R.

<p>(Jersey City, N.J.) â€“Nationally, 1.1 million people have heart attacks each year and almost half of them die, according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. While heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, Christopher Pierro, a 35-year-old North Bergen resident, attributes being alive today because of a lifesaving emergency angioplasty he received by board certified emergency physicians and interventional cardiologists at Christ Hospital. <span id="more-1640"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><strong>Â </strong></span>Photo Caption: Raashan C. Williams, M.D., FACC, Medical Director of Christ Hospitalâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, specializes in complex coronary interventions, peripheral vascular interventions and was instrumental in the initial start up of the hospitalâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s primary angioplasty program.<br />
â€œHad I waited just 30 more minutes before getting to the emergency room, I could have died.â€ Thatâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s what Pierro says while recalling the heart attack he had on Thursday, October 1. The 30 minutes Pierro refers to is the time he had left within the 90 minute &#8220;window&#8221; during which emergency angioplasty is thought to have an edge over clot-busting drugs. Pierroâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s procedure was performed by Christ Hospitalâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Medical Director Dr. Raashan Williams.<br />
â€œEmergency angioplasty is a lifesaving procedure that increases the flow of blood and oxygen through blocked arteries without the need for invasive heart surgery. By quickly locating and treating the site of the blockage, emergency angioplasty reduces the damage to heart muscle and helps the heart function better in the future,â€ Dr. Williams explains.<br />
A carpenter by trade, Pierroâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s experience began while installing sheetrock in a friendâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s garage. â€œI felt a little twinge around 10 a.m., but it went away. By 3 oâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />clock, I experienced a major discomfort in my chest and knew something was wrong.â€ Shortly thereafter, Pierro made it into Christ Hospitalâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s emergency department where nurses immediately gave him an electrocardiogram. â€œThe next thing I know, I met Dr. Raashan Williams and he explained that I had a heart attack. I was wheeled into surgery and within an hour and a half was in recovery.â€ Dr. Williams was forced to perform an emergency angioplasty to restore blood flow to Pierroâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s heart. â€œA heart attack usually develops over several hours as the arteries narrow the blood flow to the heart. If a person is treated during the first 90 minutes after the actual attack, early treatments can improve outcomes. After that, the longer that vessel is blocked, the more heart muscle is destroyed,â€ says Dr. Williams.<br />
Pierro had three clogged arteries. The main artery was completely blocked with a secondary clogged at nearly 80%. â€œAs a result of the angioplasty and a follow-up procedure, his arteries are completely open with no permanent damage to the muscle,â€ Dr. Williams notes.<br />
â€œBesides taking a few medications to manage my condition, Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />m a lucky man with a new lease on life,â€ says Pierro. In addition to his medicines, Pierro vows to improve his health by changing both his diet and lifestyle. â€œThank God Christ Hospital offers this program, if they hadnâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t, Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />m pretty sure I wouldnâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t be here today.â€</p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">With school back in session and flu season already upon us, Christ Hospital inÂ Â Jersey City,Â is urging all residents to prepare themselves and their families in response to an unpredictable flu season.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since H1N1 first appeared in April 2009, medical professionals at Christ Hospital have been working with local and state health officials to learn more about the virus and on ways to keep their patients, employees, and community out of harmâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s way. â€œEducation is key,â€ says Christ Hospitalâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Emergency Medicine Chairman Dr. Vijay Akkapeddi. â€œPrevention and awareness remain as the most effective ways in keeping healthy. People donâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t realize it, but even touching a door knob is enough to transmit the virus and get someone sick.â€<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Â Â <span id="more-1511"></span>Â </span></span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains, while the flu can resemble a cold, the flu has more severe symptoms, including: fever, achy joints, sore throat, chills, congestion, a headache and cough.Â People who have contracted the H1N1 influenza virus have also reported nausea and diarrhea.Â Certain groups may be more likely to develop a severe illness from flu infection, such as persons with chronic medical conditions, children or young adults ranging from 6 months to 24 years of age, and pregnant women.<span style="color: black;"> It should be noted that while those over the age of 64 have an increased risk of general complications with influenza, studies indicate that population has not shown an increased risk of contracting the H1N1 virus.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even if left untreated, most influenza infections will go away within 1 or 2 weeks, although a cough and fatigue may persist for a little longer.Â Seek medical attention with a family physician if symptoms persist or get worse and only visit the emergency room if severe symptoms develop such as difficulty breathing or chest pains, purple or blue discoloration of the lips, or signs of dehydration such as dizziness when standing, absence of urination or in infants if there is lack of tears when they cry. â€œPeople who go to the emergency room for mild symptoms pose the risk of exposing themselves to other more serious illnesses,â€ says Dr. Akkapeddi.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;">Residents who do come down with influenza-like illnesses are advised to stay home to prevent the spread of illness to others and to give their bodies time to recover.Â Adults and children should stay at home until they are fever-free for 24 hours (without the help of fever-reducing drugs).<span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are simple actions that you can take every day to help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza:</span></span></span></strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt; background: white; color: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you cough or sneeze, be sure to cover your nose and mouth with a tissue. In order to prevent further germs from spreading, make sure you discard your tissue after use. </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt; background: white; color: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wash your hands frequently with warm water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If you are not near a facility to wash your hands, alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective ways of killing germs. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth as germs spread this way. </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt; background: white; color: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;">Avoid contact with those who may be ill. If you must be around someone who is sick, like a family member, make sure to remind the sick person to cover their coughs and sneezes and to wash hands frequently. Additionally, you should try to avoid close contact and wash your hands frequently, too. </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt; background: white; color: black; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;">Stay home if you are sick for seven days after your symptoms begin or until you have been symptom-free for 24 hours, whichever is longer.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Other ways to stay healthy this flu season and all year round include: Getting vaccinated against seasonal flu, making sure you get plenty of sleep, eating nutritious foods, and exercising regularly, as these can all strengthen the immune system. Jim Greene, manager of psychiatric emergency services at the hospital, also suggests taking time daily to manage your stress level. â€œTaking regular breaks, setting short and long-term goals and prioritizing daily tasks are all steps that can be taken to reduce anxiety and promote healthy living.â€ In addition, â€œexercising regularly increases natural mood enhancing chemicals, such as serotonin and endorphins, and has been proven to decrease the risk of disease (especially cardiovascular disease), and can help strengthen bones and can increase metabolism,â€ he adds. </span></p>
