The event was well attended and the occasion also rekindled a little bit of history and nostalgia for Councilman Sam Fusaro, the senior member of the council
who recalled the very fi rst Manchester Day. “It was first held in 1993 and back then the Mayor and Council wanted to bring the whole town together at
one place at one time at a wonderful venue.” It also brought back some memor ies for Township Clerk Sabina Martin. “I served on the (Day - See Page 7)

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Mayor Robert Hudak recently expressed his opposition to legislation that involves the conversion of commercial areas and retail centers into mixed use developments. In a letter to Senate President Nicholas Scutari, the mayor said, “Bill S-2103 would effectively overrule municipal zoning codes.” A mixed-use development contains both residential and nonresidential components. Under the proposed legislation, it would be a permitted use if a developer wants to convert an office park or retail center. Normally, the town’s zoning board would make the decision if that was allowed. “Manchester Township takes pride in its carefully planned zoning ordinances and allowances being that we are in the heart of the Pinelands. The town is 82 square miles, with a large portion of the Township protected due to the sensitivity of the environment and Pinelands/CAFRA restrictions,” the mayor added. CAFRA refers to the Coastal Area Facilities Review Act, overseen by the State Department of Environmental Protection. It makes it difficult to build near bodies of water. In his letter Hudak, said “every submitted land use application is analyzed and scrutinized carefully to balance the needs of our residents with the determined environmental footprint that follows it. We have several areas in town zones for commercial uses only.” Mayor Hudak added, “if this bill were to become law, mixed use buildings would be permitted in those zones as-of-right by state law. An additional component for future concern is the severe stranglehold caused by the required services, infrastructure, and utilities that future forced housing would put on our community. “Manchester Township provides water and sanitary sewerage service to majorly developed portions of the Township,” the mayor said. He added that the community also provides a sewerage collection system; the sewerage then flows into regional interceptors to the Ocean County Utility Authority in Berkeley Township.

and revisited the governing body of Manchester in June where he presented information and a petition that he hopes will safeguard the chapel’s future. Schmidt previously came before the mayor and council of Manchester and requested support in clarifying the fate of the military chapel that was built in 1932. He and his fellow members of Toms River American Legion Post 129 had concerns about whether the property would be sold off by the Air Force who currently administrates the Joint Base. Manchester Mayor Robert Hudak wrote a letter to 4th District Congressman Chris Smith and other leading state and federal officials following Schmidt’s presentation calling for clarification on the matter. Rep. Smith and a spokesperson for the Joint Base assured The Manchester Times and Manchester Mayor Robert Hudak there were no current plans to change ownership or demolish the site which is overseen but not owned by the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society. Concerns Remain Schmidt still has concerns about the historic chapel’s future. He brought along a large mounted color photograph of the cathedral to the Lakehurst Council meeting and shared his views at both municipal meetings regarding a new access road that he fears will cause damage to the stained-glass windows and infrastructure. The petition calls for the chapel to gain his-
Cathedral Of The Air History Schmidt read a statement that included some of the history of the Cathedral of the Air which “was a place of worship built by the American Legion of New Jersey for the military personnel at the Lakehurst Naval Air Base so that our men and women would have a non – denominational place to worship God. In 1943 the cathedral was updated to memorialize the memory of the four World War II chaplains and their historic and selfless acts on the SS Dorchester. “Each chaplain has his own stained-glass window in the cathedral. The Dorchester was sunk by a German U-boat on February 3, 1943 in the north Atlantic Ocean. The four chaplains on board gave up their life jackets and assisted other passengers into lifeboats at the cost of their own lives. Once each year in early February, a service is held at the cathedral to honor and remember them and is attended by military and veterans alike,” Schmidt said.

A Long Process Navy Lakehurst Historical Society Senior Vice President Jennifer Suwak told The Manchester Times that her organization was also in favor of seeing the cathedral being classified as a historic landmark, adding this effort “has actually been in the works for a while, and we had worked with the Legion representative in Trenton on this a while back.” “It’s a long process, probably in part due to the administration’s backup caused by COVID.

He noted that there were memorials to the soldiers who lost their lives in the tragic crashes of the USS Akron and USS Shenandoah airships, two military dirigibles that were based at Lakehurst Naval Air Station. The cathedral was built with high ceilings to illustrate a relationship with heaven and earth. “This Norman-Gothic chapel in New Jersey is more of a temple to the ingenuity of human innovation against the limits of the sky conceived by the National Chaplain of the American Legion in 1932,” Schmidt added. Schmidt noted the colorful stained-glass windows are “beautiful depictions of humanity’s quest to reach the heavens.

toric status. “We can only make a difference if we show in large numbers that we want the cathedral to become a National Historic Landmark.” He said members of the American Legion Post 129 and the Lakehurst Historical Society were in strong support of getting the cathedral classified as a historical landmark. He presented to Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins a copy of the letter Mayor Hudak sent to state and federal officials. Schmidt also requested the borough make copies of the petition which Mayor Robbins said could be placed at Borough Hall on Union Avenue.

able housing requirements shows potential for not being sustainable,” he said. The mandates Hudak spoke of refer to a state law that requires all towns to provide for a certain number of homes for people of low- to moderate incomes. Manchester’s drinking water is operated by the Manchester Township Water Utility with ten wells, seven of which draw from the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer, and three of which
draw from the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy. “Our Township is already approaching our state-imposed water allocation limits in our eastern region which is located in the CAFRA section of the Township. To require additional mixed use developments in our town without any say from the Township, our system would need additional water capacity as well as the infrastructure to meet that new capacity,” the mayor added.
Mayor Hudak stated in the letter that while he was “cognizant of the state’s development push and the mandated affordable housing requirements in New Jersey, this bill completely undermines all of the careful consideration and planning that goes into municipal zoning efforts and gives predatory developers a ‘right’ to invalidate the say of the people. I urge you not to post this bill in the Senate.”
Letters And Petition Schmidt asked that supporters e-mail a request to distribute letters of support and to sign a save the Cathedral of the Air petition. He was collecting signatures for the petition, distributing information and speaking with attendees at Manchester Day held on June 25.
“If you wish to save the Cathedral of the Air, please use these form letters and petitions to send to the addresses listed. We can only make a difference if we show in large numbers that we want the Cathedral to become a National Historic Landmark. Make copies of the petition then get it signed by you
relatives, friends and your neighbors’ names, addresses and e-mail addresses. When the sheet is full then mail to the addresses on petition,” Schmidt said. For additional information about the letters and the petition, call 732-575-6904 or e-mail him at BillSchmidt1000@aol.com

Day:
Continued From Page 1 first (planning) committee (for Manchester Day) so it is very close to my heart as well. There are a lot of memories throughout the years of Manchester Day. “It is a wonderful time and a wonderful day to bring everyone together,” she added. The recently held event drew many visitors to the lake after a two-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A variety of food and craft vendors were present. The day also included free swimming in the lake, free children’s rides and activities, a live band and concluded with some spectacular fireworks. The event was coordinated by the Township Recreation Department overseen by director Tracey Lynch. For Township resident Christina Serrano, her husband Nelson and daughter Jada, Manchester Day meant an opportunity to showcase their online catering, private parties and personal order business Cara Linda’s Empanadas. She went into business during the pandemic. “I was out of work for two months and decided to play with some recipes and decided to start a business and I have members of my family helping. My husband and daughter are here with me today and its going great.” Ocean County Sheriff’s Department SWAT team member Patrolman Pat Cerenak joined fellow officers in showing off the team’s armored vehicle and some of the tools used during incident responses. Among those who toured the vehicle and looked over their arsenal was Ortley Beach resident Joseph Tedde who joined a friend for the event. He was surprised to learn that the display item he was holding was a weapon for SWAT operations. “That’s pretty heavy,” he remarked. Among the scouting groups, Manchester Democrat and Republican clubs, various churches, crafters and food vendors were organizations which had a mission. Such a group was the National Organization of Woman, Ocean County chapter, which was calling for action after Roe Vs. Wade was struck down, and abortion legalization was turned over to the states. “I graduated high school in 1964 and college in 1968. Roe Vs. Wade became the law of the land in 1973. I grew up at a time when accessing even birth control was difficult
The Manchester Times, July 9, 2022, Page 7 much less safe and legal abortions,” said Lynda Fote, the group’s president. She said she wasn’t totally surprised by the court action. “It has been coming since 2016 when women’s rights started to coming before the chopping block but as much as we knew this was coming, it was just heartbreaking.” Tara Kownacki of Lacey said she has three daughters. “My oldest is 18 and with the makeup of the Supreme Court and their
ages it is going to affect their generation.” “It is time for Congress to do its job. Congress could fix this. They could pass the Women’s Health Protection Act which was passed by the House of Representatives but it isn’t going anywhere in the Senate. In this next election, if we can turn over the senate, we can fix this,” Fote said. “Roe Vs. Wade could become the law of the land again with the passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act so we are getting signatures
on this petition that demands that our local officials protect the reproductive rights of all women.” She added that it’s about more than safe abortion, but also affordable birth control and pre- and postnatal care. Mayor Robert Hudak, Councilman Fusaro, Council Vice President Michele Zolezi and Council President Joan Brush met up to do a social media video reminder to residents about the event early in the day.

Offshore Oil Leases Won’t Lower Gas Prices Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) led a group of Senate colleagues in urging U.S. Interior Secretary Deborah Haaland to protect coastal communities across the nation by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or final five-year outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing program currently under development by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI). In addition to the catastrophic disasters of oil spills, offshore drilling operations pollute water, land and air. This puts millions of jobs, families, and communities who depend on the cleanliness of coastal waters at risk, which could further create uncertainty in our economic recovery. In the letter to Secretary Haaland, the senators also highlighted how expanding offshore drilling would not only fail to alleviate the strain on current gas prices, but also make it more difficult to address the worsening climate crisis. Joining Sen. Menendez in signing the letter were Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Jack Reed
( D - R . I .), R o n Wyd e n (D-Ore.), Patty Murray (D -Wash.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.). The full text of the letter can be found below: “Dear Secretary Haaland: “We write to you today regarding the recent announcement that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI) is developing a new five-year outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing program, with a proposed program expected by June 30, 2022. We urge you to protect our coastal communities, economies, ecosystems, and climate by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or final five-year OCS oil and gas leasing program. “As Senators representing coastal states, we know that offshore drilling is inherently a risk-reward proposition, with our coastal communities shouldering the risk and oil companies reaping the rewards. History shows us that it is not a question of if an oil spill occurs, but when. Coastal economies that rely on our pristine waters support 3.3 million jobs and $257 billion in GDP, and offshore drilling puts these jobs and the families and communities who depend on them at risk. “We recognize that families across the country are struggling as Russia’s unjust
and brutal war in Ukraine has led to increased gasoline prices and rising inflation. As the U.S. and our partners around the world appropriately work to limit Russia’s ability to bring oil to market in order to finances its aggression, we need to do everything we can to minimize impacts here at home. Yet, oil companies are taking advantage of the crisis to rake in record profits while gouging consumers at the pump. To help alleviate costs, Democrats support and have offered numerous proposals to directly help American families afford gasoline and food. Increasing offshore leases will do nothing to lower current gas prices, as the average offshore lease takes about five years to develop. One recent analysis found that a five year plan that included no new leasing would have no impact on domestic oil production through 2027 and only negligible impacts through 2035, and similarly that such a scenario would have no impact on oil and gasoline prices through 2030 and only negligible impacts through 2035. Additionally, a report issued in November 2021 by the Department of the Interior under your leadership found that 55 percent of existing offshore leases were not currently producing, “indicating a sufficient inventory of leased acreage to sustain development for years to come.” “In addition to failing to alleviate the strain on current gas prices, new offshore oil and gas leasing will make it more difficult to meet our climate goals and worsen the climate crisis. A recent study found that
protecting our coasts from new fossil fuel development would avoid over 19 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, roughly equivalent to taking every car in the nation off the road for 15 years, and prevent over $730 billion in damages to people, property, and the environment. If we are to meet the Paris climate agreement’s goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 before declining precipitously and achieving net-zero emissions by the early 2050s. Rather than locking in additional emissions for years to come, BOEM and DOI must signal the United States’ commitment to reducing our emissions and combating climate change. “Opposition to offshore drilling is not a partisan issue. Governors of both parties up and down our coasts, joined by a diverse coalition of residents, stakeholders, municipalities, organizations, and elected officials from all levels of government, have come together to declare that our shores are not for sale to Big Oil. President Biden recognized the threat that offshore drilling poses to our coasts, economy, and climate, and he campaigned on a promise of ending offshore drilling. “We urge you to uphold the President’s promise, and include no new lease sales in the next five-year OCS oil and gas leasing program, and appreciate your attention to this important matter.”

By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – A 35-year-old man has been criminally charged in connection to a home improvement contracting scheme targeting township residents, police said. Robert Cohan, 35, of Lakehurst, was charged was with 2nd Degree Theft by Deception as well as multiple counts of unregistered home improvement contracting. According to police, Cohan’s scheme began in February then continued through May and he specifically approached residents of the Gardens of Pleasant Plains. Cohan would solicit residents to do driveway, sidewalk, as well as roof, door and other home repairs. In that time, he collect-
ed more than $150,000 from his victims. Toms River Police Spokesperson Jillian Messina said that Cohan would collect an initial deposit, then return later and solicit more money but never performed any of the promised work. In addition, he fraudulently used the name of his family’s construction company name in the scheme. On June 23, Detective Robert O’Neill arrested and charged Cohan. Criminal charges for 2nd Degree Theft by Deception were approved by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. Cohan was remanded to the Ocean County Jail where he remains pending a detention hearing.

Around The Jersey Shore Meals On Wheels Wins $25,000 State Farm Grant
OCEAN COUNTY – In just 10 days, 88,000 people cast more than 2 million votes in support of their favorite causes. As a result, 100 communities, in 34 states, including Meals on Wheels of Ocean County, is getting an assist from State Farm®. The 100 winners are each receiving $25,000 grants to support local community causes. Meals on Wheels provides 260,000 nutritious meals to frail and homebound seniors, throughout Ocean County, each year. “Meals on Wheels of Ocean County gained enough votes from the community to finish as one of 100 grant winners from across the country and was one of just six grant winners in New Jersey,” says State Farm Corporate Responsibility Analyst Jennifer Young. “Clearly, Ocean County residents are committed to supporting their older neighbors in need.” This past February, State Farm accepted 4,000 applications for worthy causes, from

throughout the country, that focus on supporting communities in need. The 4,000 applications were reviewed and narrowed down to the top 200. The top 200 finalists were then posted online for the public to vote on throughout 10 days. Thanks to strong community support, Meals on Wheels of Ocean County is one of the winners and one of two winners based in Ocean County. Local organization, David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation, also won a Neighborhood Assist grant this year.

The $25,000 State Farm grant to Meals on Wheels will support the Pick Up the Tab Program (PUTT). “This funding will help us decrease our waitlist, purchase new heating and refrigeration delivery vehicles and hire more drivers to deliver the over 800 meals we cur-
rently serve each day,” says Meals on W heels of Ocean County Executive Director James Sigu r d s on . “ T he Pick Up T he Tab (PUTT) program is a critical lifeline toward health and independence.

Hearing Loss Can Impact Cognition
Research shows that hearing loss may lead to the rapid progression of cognitive decline. The evidence in the literature suggests that: • The slow onset of hearing loss can have a significant impact on several key brain functions, including the memory, hearing, speech and language portions of cognition. • Hearing impairment is a greater risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia than other individual mid-life risks. • The proactive management of hearing loss can delay or slow the onset or progression of cognitive decline. • Studies show the use of hearing aids can slow down the rapid progression of cognitive decline. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center
is on the front line of promoting cognitive health. We now offer a computerized test of cognitive function called Cognivue Thrive. This screening tool objectively and reliably identifies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment that requires physician referral. In our opinion, driving brain health awareness and improving access to cognitive screenings are among the most important challenges of the 21st century. Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, early identification of underlying conditions such as untreated hearing loss will lead to appropriate management, thus improving cognitive health. If you would like to schedule a Cognivue Thrive screening, please feel free to contact our Toms River office at 732-818-3610.

3 Natural Hot Flash Relief Supplements By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Many people get through their whole life without a hot flash, and that’s great. But for others, the problem is disabling so today’s article is about natural relief for hot flashes. I tend to hear more complaints about hot flashes in the summertime and that’s because the added hot weather makes it even harder for your body to compensate and thermoregulate itself properly. A hot flash feels slightly differently to all those who experience it, but it’s a sensation of warmth throughout your body. It could feel really hot, where you start to flush. If you’ve ever taken a good brand of niacin, you may have felt something akin to a hot flash because it would have made you flush. Sometimes the hot flashes are so frequent, or intense that they are painful or disabling. Triggers include some of the following: • Chili or spicy foods • Caffeinated drinks • A lot of stress • Some medications • Genetics • Your estrogen levels • Your cortisol levels • Levels of thyroid hormone Here are 3 Natural Ways To Reduce Hot Flashes 1. Black Cohosh. Generations of women have relied on the gnarled root of black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) to relieve various hormonal issues such as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and menstrual cramps as well as hot flashes. Many holistic doctors like black cohosh because their patients cannot tolerate HRT due to side effects. And it’s hard to dose correctly unless you know how your patient is metabolizing their hormones. That’s why a DUTCH test can help (it’s
available at my website, or through your own doctor). It can evaluate your urine hormone metabolites because blood tests cannot. 2. St. John’s Wort. The most famous herb used for melancholy helps with hot flashes too! Studies have shown that St. John’s wort is effective in treating menopause symptoms and mood dysphoria. It also has some sedative properties making it useful for people with insomnia. A meta-analysis found that the herb had minimal side effects and could help reduce the number of hot flashes, as well as severity of them. But it takes about 8 weeks to work. The combination of St. John’s wort and Black Cohosh could be really helpful since there is synergy! Just be careful not to combine St. John’s wort with prescribed medications. 3. Thyroid Supplements or medications. Ensuring healthy thyroid hormone status is critical. You shouldn’t have too much or too little thyroid hormone. Your physician can test you to see what your levels are. Having hyperthyroidism means you will run hot! It’s not something that you can fi x with estrogen, you fi x it by reducing your thyroid hormone levels so don’t take supplements to increase levels! My book called Thyroid Healthy can help you address all kinds of thyroid imbalances. Likewise, low thyroid hormone levels as in hypothyroidism, will cause you to have poor thermoregulation as well which can raise your risk for thermostat problems too! Supplements could work very well here to raise levels, as could medications. But please do not start or stop any medications without consulting a qualified medical doctor who can supervise your regimen.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law The Purpose For Doing Home Inspections When Buying A House
Marc S. Galella Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates Many years ago, when I first started practicing real estate, home inspections were rare. It was not unusual to see only 1 out of 20 buyers do a home inspection. In fact, there were some forms of residential real estate contracts that did not allow the buyer to do a home inspection. All that has changed! Today, it is exceedingly uncommon and almost unheard of for a buyer not to do a home inspection. The real purpose of having a home inspection is to have an expert determine that the house being purchased is structurally sound and that the major systems of the house, namely the heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing systems and the included appliances and fixtures are in proper working order and that there are no leaks in the roof, walls or basement. In addition, the buyers may also check for the presence of wood destroying insects (termites) and radon gas. Where applicable, the buyer can also check the condition of a swimming pool, docks and bulkheads, as the case may be. The standard procedure in most contract is to allow the buyer a period of time to perform the inspections (usually 14 days) and for the buyer to request that the seller address defects noted in the inspection report. In most cases the seller has the opportunity to correct the defect and if the seller refuses to correct the defect, then the buyer has the right to cancel the contract.
Unfortunately, in some cases, the buyer attempts to use the home inspection as a tool to renegotiate the purchase price of the contract. This is not the reason why we perform home inspections and, in many cases, leads to unnecessary contention between the buyer and the seller. In order to prevent this when I represent a seller, in attorney review I will limit the scope of the inspections to material defects. I define a material defect as a condition or functional aspect of a structural component or system that substantially affects the value, habitability or safety of the house. A material defect does not include merely decorative, stylistic, cosmetic or aesthetic aspects. Also, I also make it clear that the age of a system is not a defect if the system is working properly. By setting the ground rules for the inspections in advance in attorney review, the attorney for the seller can limit the home inspections for the purpose for which they are intended and to prevent the re-negotiation of the previously agreed upon contract price.

Around the JerSey Shore “Let It Be: A Celebration Of The Music Of The Beatles”
ATLANTIC CITY – Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment announced today a 2022 partnership to co-present a fan-favorite Broadway show that will take place in Sound Waves inside the resort destination. This summer’s line up will “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles” August 19 through 28. “Hard Rock Atlantic City is thrilled to bring Broadway back to the boardwalk with Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment,” said Joe Lupo, president of Hard Rock Atlantic City. “We are happy to continue our partnership and bring shows like ‘Let It Be’ to our guests to celebrate some of music’s most legendary performers.” “Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment is proud
to partner again with Hard Rock Atlantic City to bring these iconic stories about the legends of rock n roll back to the Boardwalk,” says Bob Nederlander, Jr., President & CEO of Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment. Tickets go on sale June 29 at HardRockHotelAtlanticCity.com and Ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000. The 2022 shows include: “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles” August 19 through 28. Relive the past from Ed Sullivan to Abbey Road, with favorite hits including “Hard Day’s Night,” “Day Tripper,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Twist and Shout,” “Get Back,” “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” “Strawberry Fields,” and imag-
ine the reunion that never was with “Let It Be.” The end of The Beatles era was never thought to be in sight when The Beatles played their last show on the roof of Apple Offices in 1969. Imagine what would have been if The Beatles continued their journey. Enter a time capsule and turn back time to what would have been John Lennon’s 40th Birthday – October 9, 1980. For one night, the fab four come together again on stage after a decade apart performing other hits like “Back in the USSR,” “Live and Let Die,” “Got to Get you Into My Life,” “My Sweet Lord,” “Hey Jude,” and many more. Seen by more than 2 million people worldwide, “Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of the Beatles” made its North American debut in the Spring
of 2015 with an eight-week run throughout the U.S. and Canada. Now, based on the Broadway show praised as “by bar the best Beatles show yet” (New York Times), Annerin Productions brings audiences a new revamped show for its 2016 touring season. The original production, which established itself as one of the West End’s most popular shows when it opened in 2012, also recently celebrated having performed over 1,000 shows, showcased the music of the world’s most successful rock’n’roll band that charted the band’s meteoric rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool’s Cavern Club, through the height of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces that was packed with all your favorite hits.

NEW JERSEY – With summer here and the July 4th holiday weekend just around the corner, the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) is reminding people about potential electrical hazards that exist in swimming pools and hot tubs, onboard boats, on docks and piers, and in waters surrounding boats, marinas, and launch ramps. While most people are unaware of electrical dangers posed in water environments such as electric shock drowning (ESD),
each year people are injured or killed from these hazards. ESD can occur when improperly installed or maintained electrical systems within marinas or boat electrical systems result in electrical current in the water, which can then pass through a person’s body, causing a level of paralysis that can ultimately cause serious injury or drowning. “Continued education about the presence of electrical hazards in water can help
reduce the risk of electric shock drowning from happening in pools and waterways,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach & Advocacy. “Have a qualified electrician inspect your boat, swimming pool equipment, hot tub, and spa before engaging in any water activities, and make sure they are regularly maintained to ensure all life-saving measures and protection systems are functioning properly.” Following are tips for swimmers, and pool
and boat owners: Swimmers • Never swim near a marina, dock, or boatyard. • While in a pool or hot tub look out for underwater lights that are not working properly, flicker, or work intermittently. • If you feel a tingling sensation while in a pool, immediately stop swimming in the (Risks - See Page 30)

direction you are heading. Try and swim in a direction where you had not felt the tingling. Exit the water as quickly as possible; avoid using metal ladders or rails. Touching metal may increase the risk of shock. Pool owners • If you are putting in a new pool or hot tub, be sure the wiring is performed by an electrician experienced in the special safety requirements for these types of installations and that the completed work is inspected by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). • Have a qualified electrician periodically inspect and — where necessary — replace or upgrade the electrical devices or equipment that keep your pool or hot tub electrically safe. Have the electrician show you how to turn off all power in case of an emergency. • If there are overhead electrical lines, make sure they have proper clearance over the pool and other structures, such as a diving board. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified electrician or your local utility company to make sure power lines are a safe distance away.
injury from shock, including death. • Each year, have the boat’s electrical system inspected by a qualified marine electrician to be sure it meets the required codes of your area, including those set by the American Boat & Yacht Council. Make the necessary repairs, if recommended. Follow the same steps after any major storm that affects the boat. • Check with the marina owner to let you know if the marina’s electrical system has recently been inspected to meet the required codes of your area, including the National Electrical Code® (NEC®). • Have ground fault circuit protection (GFCI and GFPE) installed on circuits supplying the boat; use only portable GFCIs or shore power cords (including “Y” adapters) that bear the proper listing mark for marine applications when using electricity near water. Test GFCIs monthly. • NEVER modify the electrical system on a boat or shore power to make something work. The code-required safety mechanisms in place are intended to alert people if something is wrong with the boat and with shore power. Find a licensed, qualified professional to help determine the cause of the problem.
Boat owners • Avoid entering the water when launching or loading a boat. These areas can contain stray electrical currents in the water, possibly leading to electric shock drowning or

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in
addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications.

BUSINESS PROFILE Oliverie Funeral Home Provides Second Location For Life Celebration
By Bob Vosseller The Oliverie Funeral Home recently opened its second location with a special celebration. Surrounded by family, friends, staff and officials from the funeral industry, owner and founder Geraldine Oliverie said she was very proud of this accomplishment. Oliverie was the first in her family to pursue a career in funeral directing and she, along with her family’s support, opened her first funeral home in Lakehurst in 1987. Michael Hennicke worked for the Oliverie Funeral Home part-time after their marriage in 1988. The Lakehurst home was small and served approximately 50 families per year. The couple took a leap of faith in 2001 and opened a new location in nearby Manchester Township. Her husband, became the Oliverie Funeral Home’s second full time funeral director. The new facility was larger and allowed them to better serve the community as well as provided a home above the business where they raised their three children, Marissa, Bridget, and Michael. Geraldine Oliverie remarked that “the first year of business was a struggle, but we worked long hours and even maintained the landscaping ourselves to help cut costs.” The funeral industry first piqued her interest when she was only five years old. Her grandmother passed away suddenly and her parents did not allow her to attend the funeral. Her curiosity grew into a passion, and she graduated Ocean County College before attending the American
Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Services in New York City where she graduated with honors as class Vice President in 1984. Michael graduated from The University of South Carolina before attending the American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Services, class of 1988. Prior to his career in funeral directing, Michael worked for Clayton Limousine Service in Spring Lake. Their Manchester Township based funeral home utilizes new methods and technology to adapt to the ever-changing industry. This location serves over 200 families per year and strives to make a difference in the community through its multitude of community service opportunities and its involvement with various charities. The Oliverie Funeral Home in Manchester hosts an annual flu clinic where community members can receive a flu vaccine free of charge. They also host an annual blood drive alongside the American Red Cross. The business also collects cereal for a food drive and actively supports the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, the American Cancer Society which honored Geraldine as the Humanitarian of the Year. She has been a member of the Lakehurst-Manchester Rotary Club since 1989 and the Oliverie Funeral Home in Manchester has been awarded the “Best of the Best” in Ocean County for 10 years running, and has been honored for its “Pursuit of Excellence” by the National Funeral Director Association for almost a decade. The business has also
been recognized nationally by the Order of the Golden Rule twice for their outstanding community service. Geraldine has been named the Funeral Director of the Year in 2020 and also received the Golden Light Award for her extensive community involvement. Geraldine Oliverie said she hopes the Funeral Home continue their reputation as pillars of the community in their new Jackson location at 125 South Cooks Bridge Road. The couple looks forward to developing their business and using their large facility to serve local families in unique ways. The new funeral home is a state-of-the-art facility that is the only home in Ocean County to partner with Life Celebration which Oliverie said, “offers truly customized and individual funerals and memorial services.” The new facility features an elegant banquet facility, The Wisteria, as well as an atrium café for patrons. The Café features soft drinks, tea, coffee espresso, cappuccino, sandwiches, muffins and cookies. “In Manchester we have food outside. Here (in Jackson) we have a food license,” Oliverie added. Bringing a new level of tribute for loved ones who have passed, the Jackson facility also provides for video screens in each viewing room that provides an audio-visual memory of their life. “Jackson is our newest and most modern life celebration home. Mike and I have been developing this new concept for many years and after six long years, we are here to celebrate the hard work and

effort that it took to be open today,” Oliverie said. She also thanked her attorney Robert C. Shea, Aquatecture and Pr1ma Builders and those responsible for constructing and designing the facility and for making it as beautiful as it is. “We are pleased to present the life celebration home that we have envisioned. We celebrate your loved one in many ways. From videos to props either provided by family or our funeral home.” “We help you heal by helping you celebrate the traits that make your loved one who they were. What you remember and loved most about them. You get to honor them during their funeral. Whether during or after the life celebration we now offer a banquet facility on the premises. Never has this been done before in New Jersey,” she added. “Now more than ever, families need a place to console one another and feed both their minds and body,” Oli-
verie said. The staff directory also includes Funeral Directors Christopher Farrant and May Boyce, intern Jordana Blodgett and their grief therapy cat Serena. “I really want to congratulate the entire Oliverie family, the workers and everyone associated with this facility. It really was a work of love for the Oliverie family for the last six-seven years, this plot of land was originally approved for a 38-unit condominium complex, so you can imagine the dynamics of changing this facility to what it could have been. It was significant. They are truly visionaries in what they achieved here,” Shea of Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law said. New Jersey State Funeral Directors Associates Executive Director George Kelder said, “a funeral home tends to both the living and the dead because a death in the family happens to both. Since the mid-1990s Gerry
and Mike and their staff have assisted the communities of Lakehurst and Manchester in confronting and disposing of their dead. They helped them and all those who are left behind to remember.” Kelder added, “they have now expanded this noble offering into this beautiful new contemporary facility in Jackson. As funeral directors they offer to us every day a reassuring gesture, a smile, a kind word and a listening ear.” Monmouth Ocean Funeral Director Association President Bruce Polcino said, “this is not only brick and mortar, this is blood, sweat and tears. A lot of work went into this. I have known Gerry and Mike for many years on a professional and personal level. I can tell you they are caring people and they are very devoted to their community. I know the families that walk through this door will be treated with the upmost respect, dignity and trust.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 9 - july 15 By Jeraldine Saunders

You must be adaptable, consistent, and reliable in the upcoming week. Use wisdom to make headway with career and financial concerns, and business tactics. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Multitask.

Mindful networking can bring rewards on multiple levels and you should enjoy meeting interesting people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Use your intuition and your open heart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may meet friendly people at public outings or welcome fascinating people into your home in the upcoming week.
