–Photos By Bob Vosseller A parade celebrated America’s independence on a weekend when Lakehurst was celebrating it’s 100th anniversary. First responders drove their vehicles in the parade. By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – The Borough has enjoyed multiple celebrations in recent weeks, including a fun filled afternoon at Horicon Lake, an Independence Day Parade down Union Avenue and a Vintage Car Show on the grounds of the Lakehurst Elementary School. Public officials, local organization members and residents enjoyed each of those activities that noted not only the Fourth of July holiday but the community’s centennial which was postponed last year due to COVID-19 restrictions. The celebrations did have some obstacles during the weekend of Independence Day. The July 2 pa-
rade and car show had to be pushed back due to the threat of rain. The parade, sponsored by Lakehurst Youth and Recreation, was enjoyed instead on July 4. It featured Girl Scouts from several troops and a large number of first responder vehicles like police cars, ambulances and fire trucks. “It’s a great day,” Mayor Harry Robbins remarked wearing the colors of the day which were red, white and blue as he strode in the parade beside Councilman Brian Dimeo and Councilwoman Patricia Hodges.

Gilmore Will Again Chair Ocean County GOP
By Stephanie Faughnan OCEAN COUNTY – Thirteen may well be Ocean County Republican boss George Gilmore’s new lucky number. Gilmore will once again head the Ocean County Republican Organization after he defeated Sheriff Michael Mastronardy by a vote of 333 to 320 – a difference of just 13 votes. Voting members were the 737 County Committee members elected in the June primary. While vacancies were filled
by candidates, others were determined by write-in votes. Some districts have no representation. Nearly 89 percent of eligible members voted. Three polling areas were set up throughout the county, with the main station at Ocean County College. Satellite locations also allowed voters to cast their ballots in Manahawkin and in Lakewood. At the Southern Ocean County location, the vote was 75 to 45 in Gilmore’s favor. In Lakewood,
Mastronardy secured the majority with 71 votes, while Gilmore received a total of nine. Not all of the hundreds who flocked to the Ocean County Republican Committee’s meeting were eligible to vote as party county committee members. State, county, and local elected officials were among the group gathered at Ocean County College voting headquarters. Gilmore continued to work the room

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – The township moved a step toward renewable energy technology with an ordinance that authorizes and encourages “electrical vehicle supply/service equipment (EVSE) and make ready parking spaces.” Councilman James Vacca ro, who has been pushing for the r e newable e ne rg y master plan concerning wind, geo thermal and more extensive use of solar panels, thanked the Council for voting in support of the ordinance. “ T he ord i n a nce moves us forward to
meet the commitment to our residents for electric vehicle utilization needs in the future. We now must aggressively explore grant opportunities from the state and federal government for funding of our EV program,” he said. The township could look for grants from such agencies as the State Department of Environmental Protection and Board of Public Utilities, he said. He noted that electric cars, trucks and buses will require ch a rg i ng st at ion s t h rou g hout t ow n . They could be used (Town - See Page 16)
Base Testing Groundwater For Contamination
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER –The township has entered into an access agreement with the Joint Base McGuire-Dix Lakehurst that involves a road opening permit and water testing. Business Administrator Brandon Umba explained to the members of the Township Council and the public during a recent Council meeting that the matter also involves “ground water testing within the township. The Joint Base was previously used as a training facility for extinguishing fires with fire firefighting foam.” He noted material within that foam “was a chemical known as PFAS and the base is completing a routine testing of the groundwater to ensure that it is free of PFAS.

until the last vote was cast and mingled with the crowd. Ruthanne Scaturro was on the ballot as Gilmore’s running mate and will become his vice chair. Scaturro secured 325 votes putting her in the lead over her opponent Barbara Lanuto, who received 311 votes. Outgoing Ocean County Republican Committee Chairman Frank Holman III announced the results, and abruptly left the podium. By that time, the crowd had dwindled down to approximately 100 people. Gilmore took over the microphone at that point and said the agenda called for the new chairman to speak after the votes were counted. He said he was okay with the fact that the item was seemingly cut out at the last minute. “Ruth and I have worked very hard to try and bring this organization together,” said Gilmore. “We want to get everyone rowing in the same direction to defeat Democrats. “Some people aren’t going to be happy,” Gilmore acknowledged. “We saw people on the (County Commissioner) level endorsing him (Mastronardy). But I had the people endorsing me.” Gilmore said his election means there will no longer be fear in the Ocean County Republican Organization. He said there would not be any type of intimidation and that he wanted everyone to work together and support the candidates of their choice. Scaturro echoed Gilmore’s sentiments and said the two plan to make sure every-
Conviction And Pardon Gilmore’s recent conviction on federal tax charges was one of the biggest issues of the campaign. He had held the chairman spot for 23 years from 1996 to 2019 and stepped down after he was convicted of making false statements on a mortgage application and failure to collect, account for and pay over payroll taxes. He was found guilty of the charges in federal court in January 2020. He had appealed and lost. An attorney, Gilmore lost his law license and resigned from public office, including his chairmanship role and as head of the Ocean County Board of Elections. On the eve of President Donald Trump’s last day in office, the outgoing president pardoned Gilmore. The pardon has allowed him to reinstate his law license, although he’s not sure how he’ll use it at this point. Gilmore – or his firm – had been the municipal attorney for a number of local towns. Trump’s actions also remove any perceived bars from Gilmore seeking public office. Trump had been accused of taking bribes in exchange for pardons. Gilmore said he made no political contributions or any type of financial donation in exchange for the pardon. Meanwhile, his adversaries point

Unity Mastronardy had said his goal in running for chairman was to stop some of the in-fighting that has become prevalent among Ocean County Republicans over the last couple of years. “We’re on a mission to get people back in the fold and get away from the underlying current of tension that has resulted in a lot of negativity,” said Mastronardy. “We want to get people back working together so we are not wasting our efforts, and instead, concentrating on good governance.” The sheriff acknowledged that Gilmore encouraged him to run for his current position when he was retiring as chief of the Toms River Police Department years ago. Mastronardy said Gilmore helped get him elected to the position during his first run. “This isn’t personal,” Mastronardy continued. “Unfortunately, George has some situations financially he has to straighten out. I think the average person looking at
the whole picture would be concerned about someone with that much financial pressure. It’s not advantageous to be in the position of chairman with those types of problems.” Trump’s pardon of Gilmore alleviated some of his issues, including the need for him to serve time in federal jail. However, court records show that Gilmore owes nearly $5,000,000 in unpaid judgments with more to come. Much of the money is due to the Internal Revenue Service. Several elected officials professed their support for Mastronardy as the Party Chair. For example, there was a letter signed by all five of the Ocean County Commissioners. “Please know that this Board stands united,” reads the endorsement letter. “Not only for Mike Mastronardy and Barbara Lanuto as the best and honest choice for Chair and Vice-Chair but, more importantly, for good government.” This endorsement was surprising. Jack Kelly, Ocean County Commissioner Director, and Gilmore are business partners in a consulting firm. Gilmore helped many of the commissioners in their previous elections. Gilmore also ran two candidates to challenge the commissioners in this year’s primary. His candidates lost by a large margin. Gilmore says the reason he decided to seek back his old role was also because he wanted a more unified Republican party in Ocean County. “I’ve seen the organization split significantly because of fear of retaliation and reprisals,” stated Gilmore. “Even though

out that former While House Political Director Bill Stepien once served as the Executive Director for the Ocean County GOP when Gilmore was chair. After Gilmore stepped down, the county Republican organization held a special election in 2019 to choose his successor. Frank Holman III, who now lives in Waretown, narrowly beat Frank Sadeghi of Toms River by less than 30 votes. Holman announced his decision to step down as the Ocean County Republican chair earlier this year. He endorsed Mastronardy.

body has a voice. She said the team ran a grassroots campaign with the efforts of a number of people. Mastronardy remains on the November ballot for Ocean County Sheriff. When asked if he will support Gilmore as chairman, he had a simple answer: “I will continue to support the GOP in Ocean County.”

Continued From Page 1 donned a red shirt and Uncle Sam top hat as he walked in the parade. A number of unique bicycles were seen along the parade route as well as some classic cars. The local VFW had a pickup truck that ferried the borough’s poppy princess from Memorial Day who waved to the many spectators along the route. There were also inflatable children’s attractions at the lake and the food vendors present were mostly made up of local businesses in the borough. Along with vendors, musical entertainment and organization booths, the event featured two different types of petting zoos. One by representatives of Barnyard Petz Mobile Petting Zoo Inc who had cows, goats, pigs and other farm animals. Another bordered the lake on the property of a borough home owned by Brenda and Kieran Duffy. The couple started a small petting zoo featuring a variety of animals. “Everyone loves them,” Brenda Duffy said. “We moved into the house in September of last year. I started out with two goats and a mini-horse in the back yard. We also have ducks and a million different types of chickens and we have rabbits.” “Daphne is our perimeter dog who surrounds the outside fence to make sure everyone is okay,” Brenda Duffy added. “She was a rescue who we got from South Carolina. Her mom came up with nine puppies.” Kieran Duffy was holding Marshmallow the goat. “She’s a five-week-old Nubian goat,” his wife said. The goat had fallen asleep in his arms
The Manchester Times, July 16, 2022, Page 5 and many spectators stopped by to admire her. Another goat was wearing a red, white and blue collar for the occasion. “I bottle feed her,” Brenda Duffy added. “She follows my wife around like crazy,” Kieran Duffy said. “We’ll be setting up for National Night Out which is also held here at the lake,” Brenda Duffy said. That event will take place in August. Providing entertainment of a different kind was Brenn Swanson of Brick Township who stood on stilts, wore a patriotic clown outfit and danced with a hula hoop. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and worked for Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. I’ve performed in 42 countries. “It was interesting to travel with the circus and after that I worked for Disney and then worked on a cruise line in the Royal Caribbean with Circus at Sea. It has been quite a fun journey. It was an adventure,” she said. Later in life she made time to have a family. “I have two kids and a husband. Yes, I’m someone’s mom, looking like this,” she said laughing. “Happy Fourth of July!” she yelled out as two young girls came over asking to have their photo taken with her as she once again swung the hula hoop around her waist. Members of the Lakehurst Historical Society came prepared with their historic literature, caps, shirts, pins and other items to promote their organization and to bring awareness to their museum and summer tour schedule. Organization President George Oglesby said that the Society coordinates the annual car show that is always held as part of the Independence Day celebration but was to be part of this year’s Centennial celebration. Councilman Jim Davis
and Michelle Dimeo were coordinating that event held the following week and which filled the field with classic cars and some unique automobiles. “We’re happy to be celebrating Lakehurst’s 101 anniversary,” Oglesby said. As to the museum tours he added, “we’re getting a lot of people from out of state.” The museum is housed in a historic church on Center Street. Lakehurst Parent Teacher Association President Amanda Schrieber joined fellow members at the LSPTA table. Like the LHS, they were seeking out new members to bolster their ranks. “Our Facebook page is LSTA. We do a lot of activities throughout the year. We just had an end of the year celebration. We had a Scholastic Book Fair that did very well and was one of their highest attended events.”

have discussed with our director of public works who oversees the water and sewer department and the township has confirmed that all the water in Manchester Township is safe. There is no current threat to our water source to our residents.” “Even if the base does find PFAS in the groundwater we have the ability to draw from deeper wells and a deeper aquifer so as not to impact our water supply. The water supply is constantly monitored as is required by New Jersey state law. The monitoring has shown and continues to show safe drinking water within the township,” Umba said. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, firefighting foams are most commonly known as Aqueous Film- Foaming Foam (AFFF) or Class B foam. Firefighting foam contains numerous toxic chemicals known as “forever chemicals” which do not break down quickly and stay around for a long time. They are linked to a variety of chronic and debilitating illnesses and conditions, especially cancers. PFAS was added to firefighting foam in 1979 and was widely used by civilian airports and fire departments. The agreement requires the Joint Base to share the results of their testing with the township and “if at any point there comes a time where there is a threat to the township water supply, we would be notified immediately,” the administrator added.
The Manchester Times, July 16, 2022, Page 7 Umba said, “if anyone sees the work being done, we want people to understand this is being performed within the township and there are no threats to our residents or our township water supply.” Responding to a question by resident Karen Argenti about the location, Umba said there were actually six locations where the testing will be done and the active site was in Lakehurst. He added the Joint Base was working
with the State Department of Environmental Protection “to identify certain areas in the township to test where potentially where the chemical may have gone.” A map will be available to residentsonce the arrangement is finalized, he said. He clarified that “technically, it is not a road that is opening. Anytime you are opening either a township road for a water or sewer main, either side of the road is considered a road. These areas will
either be on the sides of it or potentially paper streets that are listed as roadways.” Argenti asked about the specifics of the chemical’s discharge but the business administrator couldn’t answer her questions. “If you have a question for the base as to how their operation would go. I can only speak to the fact that I am also a fireman and this chemical is used to extinguish a fire that is not easily contained.”

I told everyone we all had to get behind him and continue this great organization.” According to Gilmore, shortly thereafter, Holman had a meeting with John Bacchione, who is a Berkeley Township Councilman. Allegedly, Holman said Berkeley was “an island on its own” and would never get any money from the county committee. The county elites also decided against supporting Bacchione in his race against now Commissioner Bobbi Jo Crea. “Brick Township had a chance last year to win several seats on the governing body,” Gilmore said. “They haven’t won an election in twelve years because of some mistakes Republicans made when they were in power.” Gilmore claims the county decided they would not provide the Brick candidates any money because he and Jack Kelly were running the campaigns. Nonetheless, Gilmore said he, Kelly, and the Brick Republican chair raised over $100,000 and ended up winning a seat. Other issues in Manchester and South Toms River led Gilmore to believe that the current regime isn’t playing fair when it comes to doling out financial assistance. The formation of a new Republican club in Toms River served as further evidence that the party is split in Ocean County.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Responses To Letters We’ve had several responses to letters that we’ve published recently. That shows our letters are getting people thinking, and that’s great. Sometimes, we’ll run
the responses, particularly if they add to the conversation. I like it when residents have thoughtful takes on topics. I especially like it when they are local issues. You might notice that
sometimes the previous letter writer is mentioned by name and sometimes they aren’t. That’s because of my editing. A few years back, a writer was upset that another person called them out by name in an angry letter. The injured party said it would be better if we hadn’t published his name
with the angry rebuttal. I figured that was fair. So now, whenever someone writes a glowing letter, the previous writer’s name is included. If they write an angry letter, the previous writer’s name is cut. I don’t want it to become a back and forth, when two people start arguing in the
letters page. This isn’t what this is supposed to be about. Angry responses don’t necessarily run. I’m more likely to run a compliment and put a little more positivity into the world. Sometimes, I get a letter that’s just insulting someone. Those don’t get published. If you want to see that
kind of argument, go to Facebook. But if you want to have thoughtful and emotional conversation about issues that impact you, then read the letters section of your local newspaper.

Letters To The Editor A Larger Supreme Court Would Be Unbalanced Editor’s note: This letter is a response to “Expand The Supreme Court.” In rebuttal to the letter of July 2, 2022, in support of expanding the Supreme Court, I would like to put forward a differing opinion. The recent decision by SCOTUS regarding abortion has rekindled the desire among many Democrats to expand, or “pack-the-court” with additional justices, presumably liberal in nature, so as to “balance,” or even tilt the court to a more liberal bias. Liberals have historically looked to SCOTUS to legislate from the bench when they find it difficult or impossible to make law through Congress, as the Founders had intended. There is a reason why our Republic was set up with three separate and equally powerful branches – Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The checks and balances
inherent in this arrangement presumably prevent any one branch from becoming as powerful as to preclude the others from exercising their particular powers. The Supreme Court was not created to make law. If it were, it would be part of the legislative branch, which it is not. The job of the Supreme Court is to adjudicate over legal discrepancies according to constitutional law, not create law. When SCOTUS ruled on June 24, it did not ban abortion. It returned the question of abortion back to the states, as is consistent with a Republic. Any federal laws, no matter the subject, should be codified by Congress, and then passed on to the President for approval or veto. The letter writer urges “Congress to pass the Judiciary Act” of 2021 to add four new seats to the Court. Under the current administration, this would not balance the Court. It would tilt the Court to favor liberal doctrine. The likelihood of Congress voting favorably for expansion of the

Court is highly questionable. There are Democrats who realize the folly of this. The number of Supreme Court Justices has been changed seven times in our history, each time for partisan political reasons. It is just as easily changed back when an opposing administration takes over. It is not a lasting solution. If we as a people, as a nation, wish to legalize abortion, then that law must be codified by Congress. Democrats realize this will not happen. The votes are not there. This is why liberals need the Supreme Court to legislate from the bench, because they cannot get this law through Congress. I am not qualified to express an opinion on abortion. I will never become pregnant, and I would never try and “Mansplain” to any woman how she should think on the subject. But I am an American citizen, and I do have an opinion as to how our government works, and on how our laws are derived. Randy R. Rush Manahawkin
When Politics Became More Important Than Principles I shall not be alive much longer. I’ve had enough time in this world! Let me tell you why I do not dread leaving this place. I’ve always believed that the USA was the greatest nation on earth. This may or may not be true; but it was the underlying per-
ception providing me with confidence that America was especially blessed and, although never perfect, capable of self-correction and self-improvement. The Preamble of our Constitution commences with WE THE PEOPLE. This little masterpiece explains the purposes of our founding document, a Constitution totally new to the world in its day. To establish a more perfect union; to establish justice; to ensure domestic tranquility; to provide for the national defense; to ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our prosperity…etc.! Alas! What has become of this venture dedicated to the common good of all citizens? I’ll tell you. We’ve resumed our disastrous Civil War! The Republican Party was in those days on the right side of history, against the barbarism of slavery, upon which the southern states’ economy was based. Slaves were very valuable commodities, not even human! There have been exceptional Republican presidents and Congress(wo)men in the past, but I am full of dread and remorse at what has become of the Republican Party! When thugs assault the very center and symbol of our democracy, incited and encouraged by numerous Republican members of Congress in perverse loyalty to a former demigod-president of questionable loyalties, I mourn the death of that Preamble and of the Constitution itself! And these many Republi-

Biden Solved The Baby Formula Shortage I am taking this time to give a much-delayed shout out to show support for Joe Biden for fixing the baby formula shortage. That might seem like ancient history right now, and it’s because of his hard work. He reopened a production facility, used the Defense Production Act to increase supply, and cut a bunch of red tape to get the job done. There was a problem – a huge problem – and his administration solved it. Isn’t that what a president is

What Will The Press Make Of Sarah Palin? Before Donald Trump was the subject of media torture lasting years like we have never seen before, Sarah Palin lived through that type of hell when she was John McCain’s running mate for the presidency. Sarah is now saying “I am back,” and she is running for Alaska’s House seat this fall. I watched what Sarah lived through, and I was thrilled she made a whole bunch of money after that political insanity by writing books etc., and she is making a comeback after monetizing her popularity. Good for her. But, is she forgotten when time comes to campaigning for the House seat, or is she going to “go through Sarah Palin haters hell” again? The Tr ump haters, of course, are also Sarah Palin haters. Do they have enough energy to split their time between the other candidates supported by Trump, and Sarah, or will they give Sarah a pass? People who chronicle elections will have a doozy to write about in the fall, from this viewpoint, even though this upcoming election will focus on many other really serious life changing issues.

Bipartisan Bill Would Increase Security At Voting Locations In Schools CAPITOL COMMENTS
that are used as polling locations across the state. Under current law enacted last year, police officers are prohibited from polling 10th Legislative District places unless there is an emergency. The measure Senator Jim Holzapfel advanced recently, S-2912, would allow police officers, TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by when requested by school officials, to be Senator Jim Holzapfel and approved by the present during voting at public schools. “There is a concerted emphasis on safety at Senate would help ensure safety at schools
our schools every day of the school year, but on election days, security yields to democracy,” said Holzapfel (R-10), a co-sponsor of the bill. “The doors are open and members of the public can freely walk in and out to vote. When school children are in the next room, or just down the hall, it makes sense to have law enforcement on site.” Many elections in New Jersey, including primary elections, are conducted while school is in session. During the most recent primary election, schools throughout the
state held virtual classes for the day. “This only became an issue when the police were told they are no longer welcome at voting locations,” Holzapfel noted. “This bill will alleviate safety concerns at schools, and also senior residential centers that ask for help.” The bill specifies that an officer assigned to school polling place is there to maintain order and provide security during the election, and they are prohibited from interfering with any individual present at the location for the purpose of voting.
$17.5 Million Will Feed Families, Support Restaurants From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) announced plans to award grants totaling $17.5 million to 30 nonprofit organizations through Phase 3 of its successful Sustain & Serve NJ program. Sustain & Serve NJ provides eligible entities with grants to support the purchase of meals from New Jersey restaurants that have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and the distribution of those meals at no cost to recipients. The additional $17.5 million in awards announced recently brings total program funding to $52.5 million. Sustain & Serve NJ launched during
the pandemic as a $2 million pilot program to boost restaurants impacted by COVID and has grown into an over $50 million program that continues to bring much-needed food to people across New Jersey. Since February 2021, Sustain & Serve NJ has already supported the purchase of more than 3.5 million meals from over 400 restaurants in all 21 counties with grants totaling $35 million. Phase 3 of Sustain & Serve NJ is funded by $10 million allocated by Governor Phil Murphy from the federal American Rescue Plan and approximately $7.5 million in State funding. Funding from this latest phase is expected to support the purchase of an additional 1.5 million meals. “Sustain & Serve NJ has become a national model for addressing food insecurity, supporting small businesses that are the
heartbeat of our downtowns, and providing funding to the nonprofit entities that deliver vital services,” said Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver. “Combatting hunger remains a top priority and it is more critical than ever that nonprofits have the resources they need to feed the people within their communities.” “Throughout the pandemic, Governor Murphy has challenged us to employ innovative methods for supporting businesses, nonprofits, and New Jerseyans in need and Sustain & Serve NJ has been a tremendous asset in helping us meet that goal,” said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan. “We have an obligation to aid our fellow New Jerseyans who face food insecurity every single day. Nonprofit organizations and restaurants are critical allies in that mission and supporting them is an important part of our commitment to eradicating hunger, creating jobs, and fueling the economic growth and security of our state.” Sullivan noted that Sustain & Serve NJ is a
key part of the NJEDA’s efforts to strengthen the economic security of all New Jerseyans. The Authority is putting forth a multi-pronged strategy to eliminate food deserts within the state and to bolster the child care sector, an industry whose critical importance was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The NJEDA is also working with partners statewide to create a Maternal and Infant Health Innovation Center in Trenton as part of First Lady Tammy Murphy’s Nurture NJ initiative to make New Jersey the safest and most equitable place to give birth in the country. “Real economic prosperity can only be achieved when everyone’s needs are being addressed, including the most basic need for food security,” said NJEDA’s Executive Vice President of Economic Security Tara Colton. “Sustain & Serve NJ grantees are extraordinary nonprofit organizations who are committed to feeding their neighbors and supporting their communities with respect and dignity.”

POLICE BLOTTER Two Injured With Severe Burns From ATV Crash
By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – Two Ocean County women suffered severe burns after crashing ATV’s which caught fire, police said. Around 6:14 p.m. on July 6, officers received a report of the incident that occurred in the area of Trenton Avenue in the Roosevelt City section of Whiting. According to police, 20-year-old Nicole Rasmussen of Manchester and 20-year-old Victoria Labrecque of Toms River were riding their Polaris ATVs through the trails off of Roosevelt Boulevard and Trenton Avenue when the vehicle flipped over and caught on fire. The two were able to walk away from the crash to a nearby residence for help. They both suffered severe burns to their heads, backs, arms and faces, police said. They were both treated at the scene by Manches-
ter Township EMS and were flown out to St. Barnabas Medical Center Livingston Burn Center by Medivac for treatment of their injuries. Authorities were notified that the vehicle fi re was still active and members of the Whiting Volunteer Fire Department and NJ State Forest Fire Service arrived to extinguish the ATV fire and surrounding wooded area. Assisting at the scene were EMT’s from the Manchester Township EMS, Paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Whiting Volunteer Fire Department, NJ State Forest Fire Service, Detectives from the Ocean County Sheriff ’s CSI Unit and Priced Rite Towing. The crash is being investigated by Sgt. Paul Bachovchin of the department’s Traffic Safety Unit.

Continued From Page 1 for electric garbage trucks or even school buses. However, officials still need to research the best options before this becomes a reality. “We have many unanswered questions that have to be resolved. The substantial cost of the vehicle, battery longevity and how many miles can I travel on the charge, special types of charging stations and the safety of the operations,” the councilman added. Vaccaro also repeated his wish to see the governing body seek out a township-based wellness facility or hospital, “thus ensuring a healthier Manchester Township. It would be well supported and available to residents
and those of adjacent townships, boroughs and towns. No one should have to travel great distances to receive superior medical care and for Manchester Township it would be a great business ratable with the expectation of drawing more related medical and professional sites.” He also reminded residents to take the proper precautions and to use common sense regarding the varied COVID-19 strains. “Everyone knows how to stop the spread of the virus. The choice is now yours.” Vaccaro also reminded senior residents of the availability of the township’s senior services department and to seek out information about the department’s various programs that may be available to them.

“It is easy to reach by calling 732-657-8121 Ext.5000, 5100 and 5102.” School Visits Council President Joan Brush noted her attendance last month at the Ridgeway Day School graduation ceremony. While the school is part of the Manchester Township School District, it is located in Jackson. “It was a moving event. When one boy received his diploma, he looked at it and ran to his friend and said, “I’m going to miss you buddy.” Mayor Robert Hudak noted that he was glad to see graduation ceremonies and this year’s Memorial Day services return as live events after two years of virtual ceremonies. He also noted his visit to Whiting Elementary School in an effort to bring back a Flag Day ceremony. “This has been kind of forgotten about over the past several years so I met with two members of the mayor’s advisory committee and we had our first Flag Day ceremony with those first graders at Whiting Elementary School,” the mayor added. He attended another Flag Day ceremony at an elementary school in the community later in the day. Scam Alerts During the public comment portion of a recent meeting, resident Judy Noonan shared a conversation she had with Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy concerning a repairman offering services to residents of a senior community. The promised work was never done despite
people paying him thousands of dollars. Noonan and Sheriff Mastronardy said they want to get the word out to seniors and other residents to be careful when commissioning services on homes by those who solicit work in senior developments. Among the Sheriff ’s recommendations are to make sure everything is in writing: Obtaining a written contract could save you a lot of future stress. Also make sure that everything you want is spelled out in the contract. Contracts for home improvement projects costing $500 or more must be in writing and must include the legal name, business address, and registration number of the contractor as well as a start date, completion date, description of the work to be done, and the total price. All warranties and guarantees should also be included in writing, and make sure the contract states the name brands or quality/ grades of the materials to be used. Learn about any contractor before deciding to hire them. It is ideal to work with a contractor who is recommended by people you know. It also is advisable to ask the contractor for references and speak with those references about the contractor’s work. Contact the Division of Consumer Affairs to learn if the contractor is duly registered to perform home improvement work in New Jersey, and learn whether the contractor has been the subject of consumer complaints and/or legal action by the Division. You can call the Division at (800) 242-5846 or use the Division’s website, NJConsumerAffairs.gov. Chris Lundy contributed to this story.

Gardening For Hearing
Nothing says springtime like seedlings and fresh compost for a bountiful new season in the garden. Planning your homegrown fruits and vegetables? Consider these yard-to-table superstars to help support healthy hearing. Blueberries. Who can resist a batch of berries just waiting to jump into a smoothie, pie, or stack of pancakes? Songbirds love to snack on them, too. And blueberries offer vitamin C, which, combined with magnesium and vitamins A and E, may help thwart noise-induced hearing loss. Kale. The always-reliable kale’s versatility — use it solo or in soups, salads, lasagna, and more — is matched by its hardiness. This timeless leafy green includes folate, which may help reduce risk of hearing loss in older men when taken at higher levels. * Pumpkins. Direct-sow this favorite no earlier than late May for summer or fall harvesting. Freshly collected pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, which supports the immune system and — in an oral-medication form — might help improve tinnitus. ** Tomatoes. The tomato, a garden staple, has earned its place as a fruit to cultivate. It’s rich in a wealth of nutrients including potassium, an important mineral for regulating
blood and tissue fluid levels — including in the inner ear, which plays an important role in hearing and balance. Dr. Izzy & his Staff are here to answer most of your hearing health questions.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The 3 Surprising Reasons Gastrin Should Be Measured
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. People talk of stomach problems and tummy aches, belching and pain. But some people have fatigue, or psychiatric issues. Often the blood testing work-up for these conditions does not include one important hormone called “gastrin” which I think should be measured. Gastrin is a hormone produced in your stomach and duodenum and helps to digest food. When gastrin is elevated, it means that stomach acid production has declined. If your stomach acid is low, then gastrin levels naturally rise. Gastrin comes to the rescue and says “Stomach cells, you need to make us more stomach acid.” Gastrin is important because it helps you to produce HCL, as in hydrochloric acid which is how you digest your meals. Consumers have been taught to dislike stomach acid, but you shouldn’t. You need proper levels of stomach acid. And gastrin is a hormone that responds to the amount of stomach acid present in your stomach on any given day. If there’s not enough acid, gastrin will rise to stimulate acid production. By the way, the term hypochlorhydria is used for people with low stomach acid levels. Measuring gastrin levels with a blood test is something that lends tremendous insight. High gastrin is often associated with hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) and may cause any of the following: • Belching • Flatulence immediately after eating • Bad breath • Heartburn • Fatigue • Frequent infections The reason these symptoms occur is
because a condition of hypochlorhydria means that you are no longer able to extract and absorb essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, B12, folate and protein. Regardless of the body’s weight, the cells are starving for nutrition due to the lack of these nutrients… which I’m saying could be due to the lack of acid. Supplements of betaine are often used. Work with a practitioner if you’d like to correct your acid levels with betaine. Don’t just take betaine because it will hurt you if you have normal or high stomach acid. And now, for the three surprising reasons gastrin levels should be evaluated with a blood test: 1. You have chronic GI complaints such as flatulence right after eating, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux and early satiety which means you feel full quickly. 2. You have chronic fatigue which could mean you have anemia, or hypothyroidism. 3. If you have anxiety or psychiatric concerns. A negative mood has been associated with higher gastrin levels. It may be tied to increased adrenergic activity, but regardless of the cause, mood is definitely impacted by shifts in gastrin and this comes as a surprise to most practitioners. Gastrin is a good hormone, it supports stomach health, and assists with small intestine and pancreatic function. It helps you metabolize all the food on your plate and extract critical life-sustaining minerals. But like any good thing, you want normal levels of gastrin.

Base Makes Sexual Assault Resources Available
By Bob Vosseller JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST – The U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division recently launched their new Sexual Harassment / Sexual Assault Fusion Directorate. The ceremony’s scheduled speakers were Stephen D. Austin, Assistant Chief of Army Reserve (who spoke virtually), Maj. Gen.
Rodney Faulk, commanding general, 99th Readiness Division and Col. Peter Lupo, director, 99th Fusion Directorate This event marks the start of a one-year pilot program that will establish a virtual Fusion Directorate designed to care for, protect, and empower survivors of sexual harassment and sexual assault. The Fusion Directorate model is based on
the findings of the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee and the efforts of the U.S. Army’s People First Task Force. This victim-centered model aims to increase accountability, transparency and efficiency by coordinating response providers, investigators and criminal prosecutors through a single directorate, allowing them to maximize their efforts and keep victims better
informed at each step of an emotional and complex process. Senior leaders will use the results of this pilot program to make informed decisions on whether to expand, scale, or end the pilot program in the future. The 99th Readiness Division covers more than 51,000 Army Reserve Soldiers in 454 units at 332 reserve-component facilities and 33 maintenance facilities in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia.

Inside The Law If You Are A Victim Of An Accident Michael J. Deem, Esq. Or Other Incident, Remember Social Media Is Not Your Friend By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Once an injury claim is reported to an insurance company their number one priority is to stop the bleeding. Not your bleeding; their bleeding! The primary concern of any insurance company is to find a way to not pay your claim, so you will be immediately investigated. What Do Insurance Adjusters Look For After A Claim Is Filed? A personal injury claim is built on evidence. While your lawyer is compiling evidence to support your claim, the insurance adjuster on the other side is looking for ways to undermine it. Beware of prying eyes. Your social media accounts are full of tidbits — even your most innocent posts, photos, or those you are tagged in — can be woven together and used against you. Even posts made by your family and friends are fair game for an aggressive adjuster. Even if all your social media accounts are protected with the strictest privacy controls, sometimes harmful information finds its way into the hands of the adjuster. It’s used as evidence to reduce their financial exposure or, worse yet, to prevent you from receiving any compensation at all. Adjusters look for the weakest link. If they sense you lack self-control, they may try to friend you on Facebook or follow you on Instagram. They also may try to buddy up to your friends to get insider information about you and the accident. Even your posts on dating sites can be mined and used against you. What to Do on Social Media After a Car Accident Avoid doing anything on social media that could hurt your claim. You only have one opportunity to get this right, so you should leave nothing to chance. Tell your friends to refrain from posting anything about you or tagging you in photos on social media — past, present, or future. If you see the need to delete anything from your accounts, ask your attorney fi rst. It could be seen as an attempt to
destroy evidence. What Not to Do on Social Media After a Car Accident Sharing information about your case on social media makes it public. You instantly give up any confidentiality protections. The defense can subpoena it and use it against you. It’s best to post nothing. For this reason, keep in mind the following: • Don’t reply to questions from your friends or family asking about how you’re feeling. • Don’t post photos of yourself exercising or doing anything physical. • Don’t post any medical information or anything from your attorney. • Don’t post “check-ins.” • Don’t accept “friend” or “follow” requests from people you don’t know. • Don’t bad-mouth the insurance company. • Don’t defend your actions during the accident. • Don’t send texts or private messages. • Don’t lie, especially about when events occurred. Everything online is timestamped and can be used against you. Contact R.C. Shea & Associates If You Have Been Injured If you’re the victim of an accident then choosing the right personal injury lawyer is the most important decision you will make. At R.C. Shea & Associates, a firm with over 35 year of experience, a Certified Civil Trial Layer will handle your case. There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain by scheduling a free consultation.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Play Golf With NFL Hall Of Famers For Fundraiser
GALLOWAY – Hall of Famers, Andree Reed and Sterling Sharpe, will be playing a round of golf with 12 other celebrities on September 8, at Ron Jaworski’s Blue Heron Pines Golf Club. The NFL alumni and other celebrities were all in once informed they would be supporting the NJ active military and their families who are living in distress. Dine on Us is on a mission to provide off base dining and entertainment opportunities to our active NJ military and their families who are not able to do so for themselves due to economic hardship. By partnering with local restaurants and boardwalk entertainment spots, Dine on Us receives one donated gift card for each gift card purchased of the same value. Dine on Us would like to provide a long overdue family night out, a much-needed date night, entertainment, groceries, and gas gift cards. These custom “care packages” will be valued at $350 each. Dine on Us is working with the American Legion Post 129 and the Red Cross to distribute these care packages to over 125 families on our NJ bases who are in distress.
Join on September 8 by registering your foursome online at dineonus.org. Based on your sponsorship level, you will have your choice of listed celebrity to play your round of golf with. This will be a fi rst come, fi rst served basis. What a great opportunity for your foursome to hear some of the celebrities’ great stories and history of their sport as you play an entire round of golf with them. The money raised from this event will help Dine on Us create a Christmas experience that our NJ Active Military Families will never forget including a wish list from all their children. In addition to the round of golf, Dine on Us will have a vacation getaway for two to Kiawah Island Resort experience. This trip will be available for all golfers and non-golfers to win. One winner will be picked on September 8th at the dinner after the round of golf. You do not have to participate in the event or be present to win. Register your foursome or purchase your Kiawah Island getaway tickets at dineonus.org.

Library Presents “When Radio Entertained People”
TOMS RIVER – Return to the era when families gathered around the wireless set for “theater of the imagination.” The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch will host a live presentation by When Radio Entertained People (WREP), 7 p.m. on July 20. When Radio Entertained People (WREP) consists of 10 talented actors who re-enact scripts from radio’s “Golden Age” of the 1940s and 1950s. Michael Glenn Miller, known to local audiences since 1972, leads the cast, many of whom have performed in motion pictures, television, and professional theatre. The troupe has performed its special brand of “theater of the mind” at the Ocean County Library since forming in 2008. Attendees will be treated to a music and a trivia contest prior to the performance, which will feature episodes of Evening Primrose, Easy Aces, and Baby Snooks, complete with sound effects. Registration at theoceancountylibrary. org/events is required for this free program. For more details visit the Branch, 101 Washington Street, or call 732-349-6200.
Group Offers Eye Screening To Day Care Centers
TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Lions Club has a SPOT Eye Screener which is used primarily at Day Care Centers in the community. It is used to screen eyes of preschool, kindergarten and up to third grade students. With just a click of the camera, a picture of a child’s eyes is taken. The SPOT Eye Screener can diagnose the eyes and print a report if they are not within normal limits. This report is sent home to the parents with a notice to see an eye doctor. The Toms River Lions have used this since 2010 but had to stop due to COVID. The Lions are currently loaning the equipment to day care centers and teaching the staff to utilize it. If any day care center has not had an experience with the SPOT Eye Screener and would like to learn to use it, please contact Lion Mel Bray, President at 732-239-8968 or e-mail tomsriverlionsclub@gmail.com. The Toms River Lions have handled requests for the SPOT Eye Screener from other towns and will continue to do this upon request for day care centers in the immediate surrounding areas. Anyone interested in joining our club to work for preservation of eyesight in blind and needy, please contact the above listed number too!

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE NJ Students Claim Top Spots In National Cyber Competition
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey led the nation in the total number of scholars and finalists during this year’s CyberStart America competition, according to a recent report received by the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell. CyberStart America is a months-long, immersive cybersecurity competition intended to introduce students to the various facets of a career in cybersecurity, including code breaking, programming, networking, digital forensics and more. Over 3,800 New Jersey students, representing 233 high schools, took part in the 2021-2022 National Cyber Scholarship Foundation and SANS Institute tournament, with 274 placing as finalists and 124 receiving cybersecurity scholarships worth more than $372,000. NJCCIC, which helps coordinate the CyberStart America tournament within the State, is organized under New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness and is comprised of personnel from NJOHSP, the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Office of Information Technology. “Each year, we see increased participation from around our state, largely due to our
NJCCIC’s promotional efforts, as well as the support we receive from educators, mentors and parents,” said NJOHSP Director Laurie Doran. “As cyber threats continue to evolve, we aim to stoke students’ interest in this field and possibly inspire a new generation of cyber professionals – roles that are in increasingly high demand in both the private and public sectors.” The competition’s influence is crucial at a time when the U.S. is experiencing a cybersecurity workforce deficit, with more than 700,000 vacancies reported nationwide, 16,000 of which remain unfilled in New Jersey. “We are so proud of all the students who took on the CyberStart America challenge,” said NJOHSP Acting Deputy Director and NJCCIC Director Michael Geraghty. “As leaders, we have an obligation to not only focus on the security needs of today but to also inspire and develop the next generation’s cyber workforce. Based on the results of this year’s competition, New Jersey is well positioned to tackle the growing cyber challenges in the years ahead.” To learn more about CyberStart America, visit cyberstartamerica.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 16 - june 22 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): An unexpected phone call may bring good news or clarity, and someone might intrigue you by sharing an array of romantic notions in the upcoming week. Cut through the parts that don’t feel relevant; embrace what does. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Let romance take a backseat to fact-finding in the week ahead. You may be accustomed to harmonious relationships, but it takes two to make that a reality. Remember your opinion is just one of many. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be tempted to roam too far for love. Don’t form any romantic attachments based on mere infatuation in the week ahead. You will fit in much better with good friends or a discussion group. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can deftly navigate the gap between fact and fiction, so shine your light when you have a chance to explore inspiring ideas in the upcoming week. Capitalize on your ability to present yourself with confidence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may spend more time than usual with friends or in your inner world. Displaying self-discipline and organizational skills could put you at the head of the pack by the end of the week. Meet deadlines promptly to hold your own. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your friendliness can dial your popularity up a notch. You may need to be more discriminating about your tribe in the upcoming week. Someone who wants to get closer might not be who you think they are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let someone new become the center of your life when you are just an option in theirs. You can handle workplace situations in an imaginative way, but some people may misunderstand your intentions this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trying to get over on someone always returns in kind, so a cooperative approach is a better choice. You may be more satisfied as the week unfolds if you make your own way, keep your feet on the ground and perform diligent research. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Circulate and meet new people, but don’t attach too much meaning to someone’s innocent flirtation. Stay at a safe distance from new contacts and avoid steamy romantic encounters in the week to come. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can give up or give it all you’ve got. Map out strategies to keep your money safe or to keep your business in the black as this week unfolds. Avoiding waste is always a sound business practice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do a reality check before you whip out a credit card in the week ahead. Be sure to ask for advice from trusted advisers before you make a major purchase or investment. You may end up with extra duties. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your desire for romantic encounters could distract you from concrete accomplishments in the week ahead. You could fall behind or experience some awkward moments if you indulge in too many fantasies.
