ew Jersey businesses needhelp, not more regulations.But, unfortunately, our state
government is proposing more restric-tions for employers in the name of more rights for workers.
Last week, a state Assembly com-
mittee proposed a bill that would guar-antee paid sick leave to almost allworkers in New Jersey. Workers inboth the private and public sectorswould accrue one hour of paid sickleave for every 30 hours worked, andwould be allowed to carry forward be-tween five and nine days from oneyear to the next, depending on the size
of the company.For a full-time employee who works
40 hours per week, that would equateto almost nine guaranteed paid sickleave days per year.
Proponents of the bill say it wouldadd an increased level of security forthe nearly 1.1 million New Jersey em-
ployees who are unable to earn paidleave right now. Under the proposal,paid sick leave could be taken for one’sown illness, or to care for another.
Not surprisingly, business groups inthe state are against the proposal, andyou can count us among those whofeel it’s bad for business.
A story in the Asbury Park Press,
published last week, quotes DanielleCyr, the New Jersey director for Amer-icans of Prosperity, who says that 80percent of small businesses fail withintheir first 18 months of operation,even without mandates such as paidsick leave that she said small business-es can’t afford. One thing she said
wraps it up firmly:“Business growth inevitably leads
to improved benefits and pay, but it isregulations like these that stop growthbefore it can begin.”
We couldn’t agree more.A Bloomberg study recently found
that job growth in New Jersey was lessthan a third of that of New York, and,adjusted for inflation, our state’s medi-an household income declined 12.2percent, compared to 3.9 percent na-tionally.
At a time when New Jersey is reel-ing from a lack of job growth and jobloss on a major scale, small businesses
in the state don’t need more restrictiveregulations. They need help, incen-tives, not more reasons not to hire.
The motivation behind paid sickleave is noble, but it isn’t necessary. If our government would focus on stimu-lating business and not stunting it, wewouldn’t have this problem.
in our opinion
No more business regulati onsG overnment sho uldn’t pass paid si ck leave bill

tion. He was in the group organ-ized as the Second New JerseyRegiment, Lawrie Company,”Boer said.
From that, a love of reenactingand the history it represents wasborn.
“While putting on a living his-tory encampment in Haddonfieldone autumn weekend in 1987, Imet a gentleman who was a spec-
tator and was wearing a Unionforage cap. We struck up a verylong conversation of the differ-ences between the two time peri-ods, the American Revolution andthe Civil War. With that, I joinedthe 12th New Jersey Regiment,Company K, which served duringthe Civil War period,” Boer said.
His interest in the Civil Warhad already been establishedfrom childhood.
“When I was a boy about 9 or 10years old, my parents took us kidsshopping. I was browsingthrough a pile of books on sale atW.T. Grants or Pomeroy’s, when Isaw a book about 8” x 11” with the
title, ‘Two Flags Flying.’ It had ablue and gray cover. I don’t knowhow much it cost, but I convincedmy parents to buy it for me,” Boersaid. “The book was about thevarious people that made an im-pact on the Civil War or had beenimpacted by it. The individualscovered were President Lincoln,Jefferson Davis, General Grant,General Robert E. Lee and manyother famous and not-so-famouspeople. The profiles were not indepth, but it covered a certainpoint during that war. From thatbook, my interest blossomed.”
The commitment to keepingeverything the re-enactors dotrue to that era is important. Theuniform Boer wears is made as itwas in the 1860s. Shirts are madeof muslin, cotton, linen or finewool. The headgears are of vari-ous sorts, but mainly wool withleather brims, called forage caps.The re-enactors cook over openfires. Some meals are preparedauthentically, however, they doeat more modernly when the pub-lic is not around, Boer said.
“It’s kind of neat. I try to getinto the part of living during thatperiod of the Civil War. The en-campment is set up by the regula-
tions of the time and by other re-searched information. Battles arepreplanned and often walkedthrough by the battlefield coordi-nators and field commanders,”Boer said.

profession.“It is a requirement for race-
tracks to be associated with anafter care program to ensure thehorses find new homes once theirracing careers are over and to en-sure that the horses willbe well taken care of,” Haegelesaid.
Thoroughbreds accepted into
the program are rested, evaluatedand re-acclimated. They are thentransitioned to trainers withproven skills to re-train and pre-pare former racehorses for theirnew tasks. Every effort is made toensure successful, long-termplacements.
“The horses will either beplaced with the trainer or hope-fully with an adoptee,” Haegelesaid.
Haegele cares for three horsesassociated with the program ather farm. She said the programwould be able to care for about 10horses at a time.
According to Haegele, a needfor a dedicated off-the-track pro-gram for New Jersey racehorsesbecame evident about two yearsago. Public knowledge of the needwas at an all-time high with sup-port for this horse populationgrowing rapidly. After a series of discussions, the decision wasmade to create an adoption, place-ment and pensioners' organiza-
tion that focused exclusively onthe horses racing in New Jersey.Haegele works with six otherwomen at Second Call, all of whom had a history with racingeither as a trainer, rider or breed-er.
Second Call is 100 percent vol-unteer-run and operates mostlyon donations. The organizationdoes receive some funding fromMonmouth Park as well as
through donation fees from own-ers and adoption fees. Haegelesaid while they evaluate, rehaband re-train the horses, they haveongoing needs in addition to hay,oats and water. They are in con-tinual need of things such as hal-ters, wormers, blankets, leadropes, wound salve among otherthings and lean heavily on dona-tions to fund these items.
“For me, this shows a better,more caring side to the businessof horse racing that many peopledo not realize exists,” Haegelesaid.
The stigma that racehorses areoften mistreated is another pointthe organization tries to combat.
“Our industry has made a com-mitment to the health and wellbeing of the horses, so it is frus-trating to hear special interestgroups target horse racing,”Haegele said. “Racehorses aretreated like royalty in compari-son to show horses, and yet thecriticism is not the same.”
