More than 200 people gathered at this year’s
event which enjoyed great weather, the music of The Mangos and a variety of food. The post’s leader, Roy Malott and Women’s Auxiliary leader Deborah Vaughn were both working hard among the 20 members, coordinating the day’s event.
Last year’s pig roast was cancelled due to the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Malott said, “this event has gone on for …?” Vaughn chimed in, “50years. This building has been here for maybe 40 or 43 years but they had an old building that
was out front. We have pictures of the fire when it burned. They were starting to use the hall and they were starting to use the bar and that burned so they stopped building the hall and built the canteen.” “I’ve been here for 40 (Roast - See Page 4)
COUNTY OPENS NEW VACCINE CLINIC
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – As the COVID-19 mutations bring numbers of infected back up, and as kids head back to school, the Ocean County Health Department has opened a new vaccination clinic at the Ocean County Transp or t at ion Se r v ic e s Complex in Manchester. This building is locat-
ed at 2820 Ridgeway Road and will be open every Monday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Additionally, the clinic at the RWJBarnabas Health Arena at Toms R iver H ig h School North has been reactivated. That’s located at 1245 Old Freehold Road in Toms River, and will be open every Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “The clinic operation at the arena ran so smoothly, efficiently and safely the first time around and we expect the same results moving forward,” said Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer. “The Manchester site will now give residents another convenient op-
tion.” Both clinics will provide the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine options and will accommodate immunocompromised individuals in need of the additional third dose. The booster dose for the general population will be offered beginning on September 20. Appointments are recommended but
walk-ins are welcome. The Health Department records positive test results for COVID-19. The numbers in Ocean County were relatively low compared to other places in the country. At the end of August, the numbers started to come up to around 200 new cases a day. This is about half as much as the county had during (Clinic - See Page 4)

OCC STUDENTS TELL THE STORIES OF 9/11
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Never Forget. Two words that mean a lot to those who were directly touched by the events of September 11, 2001. That doesn’t mean however, that those who weren’t born at the time can’t understand the depth of what happened that terrible day. Two days prior to the 20th anniversary of 9/11, administrators, instructors and students of Ocean County College joined attendees under a tent to remember those of Ocean County, and beyond, who died that day. Among those who spoke as the rain came down at the Campus Mall were OCC President Dr. Jon Larson, Assistant Dean Carolyn Showalter, and English (OCC - See Page 5)
Judge Declines – For Now – To Order Relief From School Mask Mandate
By Stephanie Faughnan NEW JERSEY – A United States District Court judge has declined a request for emergent relief that would have at least temporarily made mask-wearing optional in New Jersey schools. After explaining his rationale for deciding not to issue the temporary restraining order (TRO), Judge Kevin McNulty said the next step was to consider a preliminary injunction. The judge delivered his ruling in conjunction with a class action lawsuit and Order to Show Cause brought by Princeton attorney Bruce Afran. While the legal papers (Mask - See Page 15)
