By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – The county will be upgrading a blinking light into a regular traffic light at the intersection of Commonwealth Boulevard and Northampton Boulevard in Pine Lake Park. “We have needed this for some time now,” Mayor Robert Hudak told the public at a recent Township Council meeting. He noted that the township had been trying to address this intersection for the better part of two decades including requesting it

Councilwoman Michele Zolezi said during the meeting that the matter would be revisited after further information was gleaned and “I believe we can come up with an amicable agreement.” add resolutions supporting the work to the August 22 meeting agenda to see that this process moves quickly and efficiently. A round of applause was heard from the audience following the mayor’s announcement during the August 8 council meeting. “They will be designing a permanent signal light in that intersection within the next few months. They will also be trimming back brush and planting along Commonwealth Boulevard,” Hudak added. “I am looking forward to seeing this move ahead and I want to thank the County Commissioners and County Engineering Department. This has been a long time coming and we have had people who have lost their lives in this intersection so this is a really good thing for our town so I wanted to thank them and let everyone know about it,” he said. 70

We assume a level of risk associated with these“Manyactivities.lakeshave docks and floating structures,” Holmes added. “There is this intersection and the inattentiveness of drivers that led to serious or fatal accidents,” the mayor added. He added that the township will look to no evidence that we know that the dock presents a danger,” he added. Holmes asked the township for more transparency and in the coming year to restore the dock that he said has been there for at least 25 years and to post a lifeguard near the dock. “In the interim we ask that that section of the lake be reopened even without the dock.” It was stated that the township’s insurance company had recommended the municipality remove the dock. “I was looking for any documentation that shows that. The dock was there for so long,” Holmes replied. Umba responded that he had made the decision in consultation with “our director of recreation (Tracey Lynch). We do have a limited amount of lifeguards but the bigger problem that we faced this summer was the availability of our lifeguards. Those lifeguards that were hired, stated they wanted to work less“Theyhours.”were taking part in other activities, internships and other things,” Umba added. “The mayor did contact me and there was a review. Tracey and I both discussed it.” Umba said, “the issue - from what I understand - is that with the pathway to the dock, you could not veer to either side. We are putting in for a lake lowering permit for the end of the season because we need to review the bottom level.” “Basically, you can be four feet in depth and then it can drop off to 12 feet so there was an issue there with actually policing the dock. The dock is a hazard,” Umba added.Umba explained the decision was based on whether the recreation department had enough personnel to police it “and do we have enough available shifts. When you have a drowning, you have to go over your plan and you have to have a certain amount of staff and we have increased the size of patrons to this place and every patron needs a lifeguard.”

Carol Nicoletti was unable to make the night’s meeting but spoke to The Manchester Times about the issue saying, “my neighbor and I went out there last week and noticed the raft was gone and that the area was portioned off and it was way wider but that was the only area you were allowed to go in which is only up to my waist. We normally go toward the deep side of the lake. I like to swim when I go and I couldn’t as there were all kids there playing.”

“I also like to use a floating chair out there and now I have to constantly look around so I don’t bump into them so I was very disappointed in that they had changed it that way,” she added.

Lynch brought up her department’s concerns saying, “I just don’t have the staff to cover it. I have no idea what, it could be 12 feet, 16 feet. I can’t move the existing area to a deeper area without knowing what the bottom of that lake looks like.”

Umba said State Department of Envi-

ronmental Protection regulations require “that we know what the contour of the bottom of the lake is. We cannot take that risk. If I do not have the staff to do it, I can’t do it. If we had more lifeguards, we could offer more.”

“The bloodhound was the coolest because he can sniff ahead and track a person down,” said John Maldonado, a seventh-grade student from Manchester. Physical training took up some time on the schedule and appeared an expected regiment. While no one complained about the daily routines, some added drills didn’t sit well with quite a few of the kids. “The hardest part of the whole program in my opinion was collective punishment,” Aidan Carrattini shared. “Most of the time, when one person messed up, we all had to do pushups.”

The boys and girls then waited to receive certificates for their accomplishments, together with special medals draped around their necks. Sgt. Shannon Dugan opened the graduation ceremony with a few introductions, beginning with Sheriff ’s Officer Alexandra Kern. Kern planned the week’s activities that gave the young recruits a taste of police training and work. Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy delivered a few brief remarks. He stressed the importance of the general public understanding and appreciating opportunities in the public safety field. “We try to have a very good experience here,” said Mastronardy. “We received funding from the Sheriff’s Foundation, which pays for everything associated with this program.” At a pre-graduation press conference with a sole reporter, the graduating class collectively invoked military etiquette with a loud “Yes, ma’am” when asked if they enjoyed the program. Many of the participants were also eager to share thoughts about their fiveday jam-packed schedules. As a law enforcement agency, the Ocean County Sheriff ’s Office follows many of the same rules and traditions established by the United States’ military branches. Even the younger recruits received daily marching and military etiquette training as part of their academy experience.

David Rojas, a Lakewood Middle School eighth grade student, said he enjoyed learning the marching protocol as well as the facing movements. Others found different aspects of the program provided more interest. On Day 3 of training, the youth recruits proceeded to the Brick Municipal Docks where they had the opportunity to take a boat ride around the marina on the county’ marine“Goingunit.on the boat was the best part for me,” proclaimed Jayden Randazzo, a Beachwood sixth grade student. When the students returned to the Police Academy that day, they received SWAT orientation by way of a demonstration. “The kids got to play with all of the equipment that our SWAT team uses,” Kern shared. “They met a ton of members from our SWAT team and also saw a vehicle takedown by the SWAT team through a flashbang.”Youthrecruits did their own traffic stop scenarios and participated in competitions in handcuffing and fi rearms training. The winner of the handcuffing competition was Chase Battaglia, followed by Isaac Davis as runner up. Alexander Earlton won the fi rearms competition, while Jayden Randazzo achieved runner up status in the same category.Students had the opportunity to learn the role fi ngerprinting plays in solving crimes and saw the county’s drone in action. “I liked the FATS (FireArm Training Stimulator) machine the best,” shared sixth-grader Shan Morales. “We practiced with laser guns on targets.” The Fire Marshall presented a demonstration that sixth grade homeschooled student Isaac David found quite insightful. “If there’s a fi re, they have to go into the house to inspect it,” David said. “They have to look to see what started the fi re and if it was caused on purpose to hurt people.” Day Four exposed the young recruits to four legged members of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff’s Officers Christine Casullo and Michael Fiorentino and their K-9s treated the kids to a special demonstration.“Theydidabite drill,” Kern said. “They then went out to find explosives in the field.”

Kern credited other members of the county agency for their roles in the program, as well as the Ocean County Public Safety Cadets. Children who age out of the youth academy program become eligible for the cadet unit, which accepts candidates from ages 14-20. This year, Kern and one of the cadets attended a Leadership Academy in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The two trained with the Army’s Military Police, lived in military barracks and worked with the Army’s drill sergeants. Ocean County’s Cadets received national recognition last year by achieving first place status in three separate competitions. They also won third place honors in three additional matches with cadets throughout the United States.

Sheriff’s Officer Juan Mercado coincidentally introduced Sangria to the young recruits on the late Stockwell’s birthday.

The students also had the chance meet Sangria, a horse who was owned by Sheriff Officer Brian Stockwell. After Stockwell’s untimely death in a car crash, his family donated the horse to the Sheriff ’s Office.

The Ridgeway Elementary School student explained how it all began. “I’ve been doing this for several weeks now. The police came and supported me and so I donated money to them after that. I’m picking a different charity every week. “I helped Alex’s Lemonade Stand (which is foundation that supports research and awarenesss for childhood cancer),” Dalton added.Hismother said that St. Jude Hospital is also on the list of agencies they support. St. Jude’s also supports children with cancer and their families through no cost treatments at the eight affiliate clinics across the United States and seeks to provide state-ofthe art care and innovative clinical trials. “He also wants to help EMS and fire companies in Manchester,” his mother said. Dalton’s young neighbor Abby was sitting beside him. “His brothers don’t really help him too much,” his mom joked. The Lemonade Kid was sporting his special customized hat and T-shirt that featured text on the front and the back about hisDaltonmission.urged those wanting to support his effort to stop by his home, “look for the white house with blue shudders on Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m.” A cup of lemonade is one dollar. The cookies and brownies are baked by his mother as well. “Mommy’s a baker. We just got a lemon cookie cutter” Dalton’s mom added. When asked how business was that day, Dalton replied quickly “Good!” His Aunt Jennifer Sardo was among those customers. She made the trip from Jackson to help support the effort and visit the family. Proceeds from that week’s sale went to “Charlotte - a little girl who lives in Barnegat that has cancer. They had a Lemonade stand out there for her last weekend and she has a dream to go to Disney,” Amy Sardo said. “His cousin Sammy died when he was nine years old from cancer almost four years ago so this one is special to us,” Dalton’s mom added. She said, “we’re defi nitely going to do St. Jude also but we wanted to help Charlotte get to Disney. “He is here the whole four hours every week. I am extremely proud of him,” Amy Sardo said. “It is a way to give back as people have been very generous to him and he is giving something back. He’ll be doing this through the end of the summer once a week.

Dalton spends most of his time in back of the old-fashioned wooden lemonade stand that his mother said was donated from a friend of hers. With summer drawing to a close in only a few weeks, those seeking a sweet and tangy drink, some delicious cookies for a dollar each that will help a good cause, are encouraged to stop by the Sardo household on Wednesday afternoons. “We’re doing it during the summer when people are actually hot and need a cool drink,” Dalton added.

The PACT Act will help our men and women who were exposed to toxic chemicals while protecting our way of life. Many of them were manning burn pits during the call of duty, breathing in chemicals as weapons were incinerated. On August 1, the VFW posted this: “Instead of voting to advance the Honoring our PACT Act to the president’s desk, 25 senators changed their votes and no longer support toxic-exposed veterans. This is the same bill 84 senators voted in favor of in June. No more delays! No more games!

care of. And then once the PACT Act passes, your ailments get covered for one year and one year only, and then you have to hope that Congress wants to continue paying for you to get better. That’s what they blamed it on anyway. Everyone in Washington knows it’s because the Republicans weren’t getting their way on an environmental bill so they took it out on veterans. I’ll never forget Ted Cruz high-fiving other senators on the senate floor when the veteran vote went down. All 25 of these Senators voted for the bill earlier this year when it was the exact same! When it fi nally did pass, there were 11 senators who still voted against it. All 11 wereRememberRepublicans.that when it comes to voting. Remember which party has the backs of our veterans and which party played games with veterans’ lives. I’m disgusted. GeorgeBerkeleyHarrow al learning; maximizing financial resources and increased advocacy to hold the state accountable for Toms River’s fair share of funding; ensuring that the classrooms our children are in are safe, but also innovative; that our teachers and staff feel valued and are competitively compensated; and lastly that the district continues to collaborate with the community and encourage parents voices at all Therefore,levels.

This is a scary moment. The Supreme Court just dismantled abortion rights across America. As a result, twenty-six states could outlaw abortion, including 13 that have passed “trigger” laws to take effect immediately after the Court overturns Roe v. Wade. This news should set off alarm bells for all Americans. Our fundamental freedoms are coming under attack by a hyper-partisan supermajority on the Court. And this could just be the beginning. But there’s a way to fight back, which is why I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act of 2021. The Judiciary Act would rebalance the Supreme Court by adding four new seats, giving us 13 justices in total. It’s just what we need to move away from extremely partisan rulings and restore the legitimacy of the Court - and it’s been done before. In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. A recent poll showed that the majority of Americans support expanding the court again now.It’spast time for Congress to get on board with this crucial bill.

You get home with a host of lung problems. For 15 years the government has said you’re not worth taking a community and school district that provided access to both a rigorous and inspiring curriculum, while also a variety of enrichment opportunities through the arts, athletics, and clubs that to this day I credit my success in adulthood. I knew then I had found my “hometown.” After my husband and I had our children, we contemplated moving closer to our jobs and finding a new “hometown.” Soon we realized that there was no place quite like Toms River, a town that has grown in so many ways, but maintains the feeling of a small-town community and much of that feeling is due to the Toms River Regional School District. The last few years have been difficult for everyone, and they have certainly been challenging for our beloved district. Throughout our region, school districts have faced unprecedented changes and difficulties and Toms River has been no different, from financial strain due to state aid cuts, a long and costly superintendent search, building delays and the ongoing pressures our teachers and staff carry every day.

Creating a safeguard for the families of these state heroes if they are in jeopardy of losing their homes is a small request for those who give so much to our communities in our most trying times.”

“Soldier On supports efforts to expand the existing SSVF grant eligibility guidelines to include low-income veterans of the National Guard and their families,” said Bruce Buckley, Chief Executive Officer of Soldier On. “Service members should never be in a position where they are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. By expanding SSVF grant eligibility we can ensure that an even larger portion of our veteran population can access housing stabilization services in their local communities.”

“The Veterans Multi-Service Center (VMC) is proud to support the expansion of SSVF eligibility to many National Guardsmen and Reservists who are in need of these valuable services,” said Peter R. Wine, SSVF Program Manager, The Veterans Multi-Service Center. “The current proposal is a more equitable solution for the men and women who have served our country and the VMC is prepared to meet Senator Booker’s call to action.” community news@jerseyshoreonline.com.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced legislation to expand the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, which promotes housing stability among very low-income veteran families who reside in or are transitioning to permanent housing. The Supportive Services for Reserve Component Veterans and Families Act would expand SSVF eligibility to former members of the National Guard and Reserves who have retired or separated from service after having served a term of enlistment. Established in 2011, the SSVF program has helped decrease veteran homelessness by 50% and assisted 850,000 veterans and their family members by permanently housing, rapidly rehousing, or preventing them from becoming homeless. However, under the program’s current guidelines, many former members of the National Guard and Reserve Component, who were not activated for federal active duty military service while serving, are ineligible for the program.Inaddition to expanding eligibility of

“The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) applauds Sen. Cory Booker for introducing the Supportive Services for Reserve Component Veterans and Families Act. Those who served in the National Guard and Military Reserve have been ineligible for many benefits when not federally activated. This important legislation would remove this barrier to entry from the Department of Veteran Affairs’ Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program,” NCHV CEO Kathryn Monet stated. “NCHV thanks Senator Booker for expanding access to SSVF for veterans of both the Guard and Reserve, bringing us one step closer to achieving our mission of ending veteran homelessness.”

the SSVF program, the legislation would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report to Congress detailing food and housing insecurity experienced by current reserve component service members, across all seven components of the Reserves and National Guard. “The SSVF program has proven to be a tremendous success, helping thousands of veterans and their families find quality, affordable housing,” said Sen. Booker. “Yet, former members of the National Guard and Reserves are often ineligible to access the benefits of this program despite the critical role they played in protecting our nation and serving our communities. With this legislation, we will ensure that we honor our commitment to those who have served and sacrificed for our country by finally expanding eligibility of the SSVF program to national guardsmen, reservists, and their families.”

• 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 732818-3610. Sound News His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin.

Research shows that hearing loss may lead to the rapid progression of cognitive decline. The evidence in the literature suggests that:

• Hearing impairment is a greater risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia than other individual mid-life risks.

Donations of water are being sought from members of the community. They can be dropped off to 2 Proving Ground Road. “Contact Michael Sinton or his wife Dona Kondash Sinton,” resident Shanan Fisher Gilby said. “Our volunteer fire department should never not have access to a drink of water saving us or our homes!

Makers Of Zantac Brace Themselves For Lawsuits

The makers of the mega-popular antacid drug called Zantac are now facing potential lawsuits that could total into the billions! If that doesn’t cause stress-induced heartburn, I don’t know what does! This isn’t about whether or not the drug works. It definitely works in terms of reducing stomach acid. The drug was removed from the market in 2020, but now it’s coming back into focus. Zantac was recalled due to potential contamination with NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethylamine) which is a probable carcinogen. The alleged lawsuits now state that negligence among pharmaceutical companies producing the drug led to serious harm in patients, specifically cancer. You can visit the Drugwatch website to see if you can file a claim. The prosecutors say that NDMA-contaminated pills have led to cancer. The FDA must agree on some level that there’s a problem because they issued a swift and complete drug recall 2020. You can learn more about the actual drug recall at the FDA’s website. Go online, or watch TV, there are a lot of attorneys advertising their services to people who were adversely by the medication. You may be wondering how NDMA toxin gets into medications. It is spawned during the manufacturing process. No one is contaminating the pills. It’s just happening by virtue of normal, regular, clean production of the pill. The NDMA is introduced during the tableting process from contaminated ingredients that were sourced elsewhere. Alternatively, the contaminant results from the use of solvents and agents used during the manufacturing process. It happens all the time, and not just with Zantac. Other medications in this drug class could be involved, as can some popular anti-hypertensives. And this may come as a shock, but a little ‘poison’ is allowed! There is a “permissible” amount of 96 nanograms per day. So you may be consuming NDMA, and not realize it. Here you’re trying to solve one issue, and wind up with a bigger one! The types of cancer associated with NDMA may include those of the breast, bladder, colon, lung, liver, blood, thyroid, pancreas, andHere’sothers.a5-step plan for what to do if you’ve been exposed to the medication: 1. Get a physical 2. Do bloodwork like a Chem Panel and CBC. 3. Discontinue your H2 blocker (antacid) and ask doc for a therapeutic equivalent. Consider natural remedies. 4. Change your diet, or go on one. Altering your diet will be the most important thing you do to improve the reflux situation. 5. Do not ignore. Please do not let any symptoms get swept under the rug due to your heavy workload, family needs, or whatever! Also, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Wait and see what? If you develop cancer? No! Be more proactive than that and think two steps ahead and don’t wait and see anything. Visit your practitioner if you have any new/odd symptoms. If this topic interests you, there is much more I can share. To read a more detailed version of my article visit suzycohen.com. By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Dine On Us will use the money raised to support the Gift Card Care Packages that will be distributed at Christmas. The Coffee Platoon was established in 2019 with the Mission to partner with the Bridging the Gap Foundation with resources enabling career programs and services to be available to the veteran community. It was started to be a force multiplier and continually raise awareness about veteran challenges faced after serving Honorably and transitioning back into the civilian world. All of the after-tax profits from the sales of their coffee products in supermarkets are donated to Bridging the Gap Foundation 501C3. This enables various career transition programs, scholarships for military veterans and first responders, and funding for service dog programs to be operational. For more information on Dine on Us.

Renee Thomaier Retired New Jersey Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator JERSEY SHORE - When we think about our dog(s) we can’t help but give them credit for being our best friend. We come home from a tough day and they are waiting anxiously to shower us with dog kisses and excitement like no other shows us. Yes, they are great companions. So great that we may overlook a time or two when they unearthed a baby rabbits’ nest or killed an opossum in our yard. Maybe they took off running when spotting a white-tailed deer. Whatever the case, the threat to wildlife is real. Globally, dogs have contributed to the extinction of almost one dozen wild animal and bird species. Maybe that doesn’t sound like a lot but today studies suggest dogs threaten nearly 200 species worldwide. Some species are already critically endangered.Inareaswhere dogs roam freely in the wild, dog owners are not concerned about the issue and continue to allow them roam. Larger terrestrial mammals suffer from predation and harassment by dogs. These same free roaming dogs, to also include feral dogs, compete with other predators (wildlife), who rely upon territory for food, breeding and raising their young. As the human population in these areas rise, so will the number of dogs, possibly causing the problem to get worse. So why do we care? Or should we? The answer is ‘yes’ we should. While the United States has some laws to govern the care and housing of dogs, as we know, people are not always side-by-side with their dog(s) to monitor their every action. Some dogs possess a strong prey drive, potentially becoming predators and killing wild animals. This contributes to the disruption of the ecosystem. The food sources for wild animals become threatened as dogs compete with them for prey. Even the smallest wild animal, endangered or not, is important to the balance of nature. Whether we live in suburban America or countries far away, we need to take responsibility for our pets. Just because you don’t see the global picture, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The information for this article from was gathered through multiple sources so statistics may vary slightly. To reach me please call 732-244-2768. It is illegal to possess or relocate wildlife for any reason without the proper New Jersey State and/or federal permits.

Mika said, “our run ended.”Manager Mendes, who played on the 1990 Brick National Little League team which lost in the regional semifinals, said he enjoyed his involvement with the team. “The kids made it fun,” said Mendes, 44, who played football for the Brick Township High School Green Dragons of legendary coach Warren Wolf. “They were together almost each day since May 15. They were always ready to practice. They had a lot of fun with each other. I will not only remember our titles. I will remember each player’s personality and how we stayed in dorms during the last week we were together. I watched them develop relationships with the players on the teams from the other states. “We have gritty kids who love playing the game and love battling. I love all of the kids and I am extremely proud of them.” He said the team received strong support from Toms River Township. “The whole town was behind us, “ he said. “There were watch parties in the bars and restaurants. The support was overwhelming. It was awesome to see.”

“Ice-Cold Facts With Ice-T” –Photo courtesy Ocean County College

TOMS RIVER – Rapper, actor, producer, author and speaker Ice-T will bring his IceCold Facts to the Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College on September 20 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15. Ice-T will discuss overcoming adversity and share the life lessons that helped him not just to survive, but to thrive. The Ocean County College Foundation is proud to present this incredible opportunity as part of the Blauvelt Lecture Series. Ice-T not only invented gangster rap, he has lived it. Born in Newark, New Jersey, he learned the art of survival at a young age: moving to South Central Los Angeles after being orphaned at the age of 11, and striking out on his own at 16. After a stint in the L.A. gang scene followed by four years in the Army, Ice-T’s first big break came with the movie Breakin’ in 1984. With his controversial lyrics and political views, he went on to become rap’s original gangster, creating a genre of music that would spawn the careers of artists such as Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Ice Cube, 2Pac and many more. His successful film and TV career has included roles in New Jack City and Trespass and an incredible 22 years (and counting) as Detective Fin Tutuola on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He served as host and executive producer of In Ice Cold Blood and The Mediator, directed the 2012 documentary The Art of Rap, and starred with his wife in the E! reality show, Ice Loves Coco. His books include The Ice Opinion (1994), Ice: A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption - from South Central to Hollywood (2011), Split Decision (2022), Kings of Vice (2013) and Mirror Image (2014). Through his music, books and lecture tours of America’s prisons, high schools, libraries, and colleges, Ice-T has become a cultural icon and an influential spokesman for America’s youth, regardless of color.

SERIOUS LEGAL MATTERS REQUIRE SERIOUS AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS RCS R.C.SHEA &ASSOCIATES COUNSELLORS AT LAW of the lighthouse comes from moneys collected from the Corporate Business Tax. “When we invest in our public lands and invest in their good care and their improvement,” said LaTourette. “We’re really making an investment in one another, just as New Jerseyans in the past did in the development and building of the lighthouse in the fi rst place. “They did so no not knowing exactly who it would serve,” LaTourette continued. “But that in the future, some mariner might be in need of the shining light through the darkness.”According to authorities, the existing beacon was hit by a couple of lightning strikes and damaged. Although electricians have been able to get it to work, it seemed to be a better alternative to replace it. Once the old beacon is removed, it will be stored and used for parts. The replacement beacon was ordered for sale through Amsterdam, and will match the intensity and rotation of the existing signal light. The circular timing of the light is unique to Old Barney and will continue. Construction work done on the exterior of the building is currently focused on masonry and repainting the structure. New windows and repairs to the lantern steel platforms are all part of the uplift necessitated by decay. “The original builders of the lighthouse understood that the masonry on the lighthouse has to breathe, and let the moisture inside, get out,” shared Robert W. Russell of HMR Architects. “Because of that, it has an inner wall and an outer wall.”

This is a family friendly, free event with over 30 art vendors and craft vendors. Come out and support your local artist, local vendors and local bands. Don’t forget Downtown Night Out starts at 5 p.m. Walk a few feet and eat in the street.

The most expensive portion of the project is the scaffolding erected around the structure, with a price point of just over $400,000. The investment supports the concept that it would be more cost effective in the future to wash the structure than to paintTheit.last time the Barnegat Lighthouse underwent restoration was nine years ago. The hope is that the new materials will delay the need for future renovations for at least another 12-15 years. LaTourette acknowledged that New Jersey is ground zero for some of the worst impacts of climate change, with rising sea levels among them. The state estimates two feet of sea level rise by 2050, and five byThe2100.state’s climate resilient strategy plan includes a coastal resilience plan in making determinations about how to make things safe. While there is no long-term resilience plan specifically for the Barnegat Lighthouse, it exists within the state’s broader coastal resilience plan. Visitors hoping to get back inside Old Barney may only have to wait a few more months. If all goes as planned, the work at the Barnegat Lighthouse will fi nish in October.

Light: Continued From Page 29 Russell said this portion of the project also involves removing the paint so it can breathe again. A silicone coating will replace the existing paint and should have a longer life. The colors will remain the same as part of Old Barney’s historic identification. “It will breathe better, and not produce as much mildew,” Russell explained. “It should be washable in the future without removal of the paint.”

Omarr’s ForecastAstrologicalFortheweekofAUG20-AUG26(c)2022TRIBUNECONTENTAGENCY,LLC.ByJeraldineSaunders

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Learn by doing. There’s no substitute for experience, although at times it can be a harsh teacher. The high standards you subscribe to can be helpful as the week unfolds; maintain them by learning from every misstep.

LEO (July 23- Aug. 22): There’s less stress when you follow the plan. Be patient and understanding if you receive criticism, but also learn what you can from it. A partner or loved one may test your dedication and loyalty, but tensions should subside later in the week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be faced by a choice between following your heart and going along with others. Although you could earn validation by playing to the crowd, you will sleep better if you stand by your principles.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your enthusiasm is admirable. It may be tempting to initiate a new financial plan this weekend, but it is better to wait. Channel your energies into making your plans more solid and execute them later this week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It can be risky to put all your eggs in one basket. If you focus too heavily on material success, popularity or possessions, you may miss other opportunities. Remain open to diversity and variety in the upcoming week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Never take risks when the odds aren’t in your favor. This is not the day to begin something new or make crucial decisions. However, you can enjoy time with a romantic partner or social activities with friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Anything you buy today at a discounted price may end up to be a mistake -- inferior materials aren’t likely to hold up over time. Do some research and wait until later in the week to purchase items that will endure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) : A dedication to details can help avoid misunderstandings. Make sure you proofread all communiques before you send them off. What seems like a burden today could become a blessing later this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22): Play by the rules. Carefully decide if your current plan is sustainable or if it would be better to make a new start. A health or workplace problem will be resolved if you wait until later in the week to address it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Close the door on family problems and the past before taking on anything new. Some people in your life may not be cooperative or agreeable today but as the week unfolds, you might begin to understand why.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can feel good but must do good, too, and stay focused. Finish what you started before you begin anything new. Wrap up loose ends and fulfill your obligations so you are ready for the week ahead.
