By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – A recent Manchester graduate was honored at the Sept. 18 Board of Education meeting for the completion of his community service project. Meletios Lendis, now a freshman at Ocean County College, was recognized by the Board for earning the rank of Eagle Scout with his project to build a brick enclosure around the dumpster at St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, located on Church Road in Toms River. “All in all it took about a year and a half,” and about $2,500 in funds, said Lendis.

Lendis noted that he received a lot of help from Carl’s Fencing, a local Toms River business. Lendis took it upon himself to speak with and recruit local businesses and volunteers to help out with the project. It all began when Lendis heard from church-goers that the area was in desperate need of repair. “It was a really unsightly area and the church had expressed to me,” that it needed mending, said Lendis. “It was a great project,” he added.

seem wildly unlikely, yet we still buy lottery tickets and we still seek shelter from a harsh storm. As a female, the odds of being diag nosed with ovarian cancer are a strikingly low one in 78. But does every woman take similar precautions to beat those odds? Does every woman get tested?
The Silent Killer September is widely recognized as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in an effort to shed light on the “silent killer” that is ovarian cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female
reproductive system. O va r ia n ca nc e r ranks in the top 10 cancers by rates of new cases, and in the top four by rates of cancer deaths, which means that “for every 100,000 women, 10 new Ovarian Cancer cases were reported and 7 died of cancer,” (Odds - See Page 4)
