By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER –The Cathedral of the Air is known as a historic chapel used by those who serve at Fort Dix, McGuire Air Force Base and the Lakehurst Naval Base throughout the decades even before the three bases came under the banner of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

During a recent Man-

chester Township Council meeting, Whiting resident Bill Schmidt brought up concerns he had that were shared by his fellow members of the Toms River American Legion Post 129 that regard the chapel’s future.

Schmidt read a statement before the mayor and council of Manchester calling for an inquiry as to potential

future plans for the property that lies near the entrance point of the Lakehurst Naval Base. He and others have hea rd r u mor s about a plan to sell the property which is currently owned by the federal government.

The chapel is overseen and tours provided by members of the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society but the Amer-

ican Legion who once were instrumental in its construction in the early 1930s would also like to be involved with it now. They would like to see it continue to serve those in the military for its intended purpose as a place for worship, funerals, weddings and related functions.

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Township high school students regularly take tests but recently they got to literally test the waters as par t of a hands-on lesson.

The students got the opportunity to hang out on train tracks, wade t h roug h wat e r a nd review their findings of their water testing analysis. During this field work, they were collecting and analyzing water samples from a stream behind their school building.

Their teacher Danielle Palmieri said Barnegat Bay Educational Representative GraceAnn Taylor gave a presentation to her Marine

Science and Advanced Placement Environmental Science Class students about macroinvertebrates.

Palmieri noted, “we took the students ‘off property’ to the stream behind the school and completed a water testing analysis. Some students received samples and were classifying marine invertebrates, other students were in the stream collecting samples or making other scientific observations.

“At the time this analysis was completed, we concluded that the stream behind the school was in good/fair health based on temperature, speed of water and organisms (Science - See Page 4)

American Legion had similar concerns which led to a dialogue with members of the Navy who at that time, were in charge of the Joint Base. Every three years the rotation of command of the base changes from Navy, Air Force and Army.

The Manchester Times reached out to the Joint Base for clarification concerning the current status of the chapel. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Ariel Owings who serves as Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Public Affairs representative said she reached out to Cathedral of the Air staff.

“The only change they may have is that of ownership. Currently, the Air Force run this particular chapel and the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society co-owns it. If they did decide to change ownership, it would simply mean the NLHS would receive full ownership. This discussion is still in the very early stages so a conclusion is not expected to be made any time soon. The chapel is still in

“We did use an app on our phone to keep track of the macro invertebrates we found.

Typically, you collect 100 macros to get a

complete idea of the health of the stream.

We did not do this just yet. This was the students’ first time learning what their task is and why,” the teacher said.

Palmieri said, “I have planned at least once a week to go back to the stream and continue with our analysis. I will also have the students send me a picture of their app so that you can see how the macros tell us one part of the health of the stream.”

“We are hoping with your support that the cathedral can remain intact and be potentially considered for the status of a protected historical site that our community can continue to appreciate for generations to come,” the mayor wrote in conclusion. “I’m inspired by the amount of residents who share the same concerns for this.”

“The officials at the Joint Base have confirmed to me that there are no plans to sell the Cathedral of the Air, a treasured piece of Ocean County history that serves as a testament to the noble service and sacrifice of the brave men and women from our community who have stepped up to defend our great Nation over the years,” 4th Congressional District Rep. Chris Smith told The Manchester Times on May 23.

Congressman Smith added, “this is great news as the military chapel is an important landmark - which holds a special place in the hearts of so many veterans in our area - and should be preserved and protected for generations to come.”

“Manchester is home to thousands of military veterans and active JB military personnel as well as many residents who frequently admire the beauty of the architecture and art displayed by the site in our town.”

“The Cathedral of Air was a place of worship built in 1932 by the American Legion Post 129 of Toms River for the military personnel at Lakehurst Naval Air Base and to commemorate the history of the Hindenburg,” he added in the letter.

The mayor noted that “in 1943, the Cathedral was updated to memorialize the memory of the four World War II chaplains and their historic and selfless acts on the SS Dorchester. Each chaplain has his own stained-glass window in the cathedral.

There are also memorials to the soldiers who lost their lives in the tragic crashes of the USS Akron and USS Shenandoah airships, two military dirigibles that had

NLHS Senior Vice President Professor Jennifer Suwak told The Manchester Times, “the NLHS is dedicated to supporting the preservation of the Chapel, as it is so historically significant. We have been working to keep up with its maintenance and care, so people can see what a truly amazing structure it is. I think all parties are in agreement that we must work to save it.”

“Right now, it appears that things are on hold, so I don’t have any significant forward motion to report. For me, personally, this is extremely important to preserve,” Suwak added.

Manchester Township Mayor Robert Hudak sent a letter on May 10 to a number of state and federal officials inquiring on the status of the chapel: “I am writing you today out of concern over the status of the Cathedral of the Air located within Manchester Township which shares a border with Joint Base McGuire/ Dix/Lakehurst.

VA Clinic:

Continued From Page 1 Seacourt Mall. It is expected to open in spring of 2024.

Currently, veterans travel to Brick’s James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic for their needs.

They have complained that the facility is understaffed and that it doesn’t have enough parking. Also, some of them have to travel up to East Orange for certain services.

It took years for the VA to choose this location, as towns put together detailed plans trying to entice the federal government.

The new building will be about twice the size, measuring 68,000 square feet. It will neighbor the county’s new social services building when that’s completed. There is also a bus stop and other amenities nearby.

The Manchester Times, May 28, 2022, Page 5 Officials at the groundbreaking said that the building will enhance services currently provided, and will also add more. Some of the specialties noted during the presentation was primary care, mental health, dental, podiatry, and women’s health, which is the fastest growing department.

The event was well attended by local elected officials, county commissioners, and other officials.

“This day is for you,” Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) said to veterans attending the ceremony. “A lot of you advocated so hard to get to this moment.”

Many of the speakers at the groundbreaking spoke of a pact between a service member and their country: If you serve this nation, and put yourself in harm’s way, that will be taken care of. It is the way to say

thank you.

“But this is only the beginning, and have to work to get it done and then keep serving veterans,” Kim said. “This will be a place of healing, a place where lives will be saved.”

Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) thanked veterans, reminding them that they are “the eyes and ears of the community, to make sure lawmakers get it right.”

The long-time congressman said he had been advocating for a VA clinic throughout the 1980s. The Brick one opened in 1991, but this one will take it the next step.

Mayor Maurice “Mo” Hill wore the Navy uniform that he wore 17 years ago as a way to show solidarity with veterans in attendance.

Most service members don’t make it a career. Most go in for several years and then transition to civilian life, he reminded people. That’s why the VA clinics have to be able to be able to provide a lifetime of care.

“It’s our responsibility to meet their needs,” he said. When you sign up, you write a blank check to the country that you’ll go anywhere and when you come home, that’s when the country has to pay you back and take care of you.

FD Stonewater, of Arlington, VA, is the developer. The company’s managing director, Norman Dong, was in attendance and said that his company had built similar facilities in Maryland and Maine.

Smithgroup, an architectural, engineering and planning firm; Harvey Cleary builders; and T&M Associates, an engineering company, will also be involved.

Naming The Clinic Hill wants the clinic named after Leonard G. “Bud” Lomell, a Toms River WWII veteran who died in 2011.

As an Army Ranger, Lomell was in Normandy on D-Day. Already injured by machine gun fire, he led his forces on their mission to disable 155-mm cannons that were aimed to keep invaders off the beaches. It was necessary to take out those guns before the rest of the forces came to shore.

However, the guns had been moved. Lomell spotted markings in an area that looked like something heavy had been moved through there. He followed the trail and found the guns, disabling them with either thermite grenades or good old fashioned smashing.

Months later, the Rangers would be ordered to take Hill 400, a strategic location in Germany. Many had failed but the Rangers charged and caught the enemy by surprise. They held the hill for the rest of the day, though only 25 of them survived. Lomell suffered a concussion and injured his arm in the battle.

He would be wounded again during the Battle of the Bulge. Tom Brokaw has a chapter dedicated to him in “The Greatest Generation.”

The Brick facility was named after James J. Howard, who represented the 3rd District in Congress from 1965 until his death in office in 1988.

He is known for highlighting the dangers of faulty M16 rifles used in Vietnam. He is also responsible for creating the 55 mph speed limit and establishing the drinking age at 21. His name also adorns housing in Fort Monmouth and the portion of Interstate 195 in New Jersey.

Honors:

Continued From Page 1 Memorial Day Observance.

The ceremony, held at the Ocean County Police Academy, paid special tribute to 18 officers killed in the line of duty since as far back as 1926.

A memorial on site features flags overlooking the statue of a police officer holding a child’s hand. It bears an inscription naming the Ocean County Honor Roll dedicated to officers who lost their lives in the call of duty.

In a moving scene, law enforcement officers accompanied family members in placing a rose at the statue in honor of their fallen loved ones.

Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer, who delivered the keynote address, said he saw the occasion as an opportunity to express appreciation for the heroism exhibited by law enforcement officers daily and to offer gratitude to their families as well.

Billhimer reminded those gathered that President John F. Kennedy designated Police Week and Peace Officer Memorial Day because he understood police officers as unique and special individuals, worthy of acknowledgement by a grateful nation.

“As everyone here certainly knows, before any police officer begins their shift, they kiss their wives or their husbands and their children goodbye,” said Billhimer.

“Never knowing for certain if they will be fortunate enough to do so again at the end of their shift.

“The willingness to confront unknown danger is what makes police officers so extraordinary,” Billhimer continued. “They are selfless human beings who embrace a purpose far greater than themselves.”

The ceremony began and ended with pomp and circumstance befitting the memorial service. A motorcycle squad, as well as an Honor Guard, proceeded past dignitaries and guests to the special memorial area dedicated to the fallen officers.

The Point Pleasant Borough High School Panther Music Concert Band under the direction of M. Scott Visco provided the musical selections. Seaside Heights Police Officer Nicole Tamburro sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” in a heartfelt performance for the solemn occasion.

Three representatives of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners attended the remembrance service. Deputy Director Virginia “Ginny” Haines, as well as Commissioners Barbara “Bobbi” Jo Crea and Gary Quinn all expressed their appreciation for law enforcement officers. They presented a proclamation recognizing the day as Police Memorial Day and the month of May as Police Memorial Month, accepted by Stafford Township Police Chief Thomas Dellane.

“It is during Police Week that we demonstrate our appreciation for our unsung heroes who nobly wear the badge and put their lives at risk to protect us each and every day,” said Quinn. “We also join with the loved ones of 75 new special law enforcement officers as they were recognized during recent graduation ceremonies from the Ocean County Police Academy.”

“We all pray silently for the safety of these

The Manchester Times, May 28, 2022, Page 7 new officers as they enter our communities as peace officers,” continued Quinn. “Moreover, today we take the time to remember the 18 officers whose names grace our memorial. All of them proudly wore the uniform badge of their respective police departments and served their communities with dedication and commitment.”

Quinn also thanked and recognized Billhimer and Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy, referring to them as true

role models who lead the law enforcement community in Ocean County.

The Stafford Township Police Department’s Firing Unit Detail added to the momentous service as they gave off a 21-gun salute in honor of their fellow officers.

Federal Firearm Licensing Act Reintroduced After Shootings Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

Washington, D.C. - After another series of deadly mass shootings across the country, U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a firearm license from the Department of Justice (DOJ) before purchasing or receiving a firearm.

In order to obtain a federal firearm license, the bill would require the following: Certification that the individual completed firearm safety training, which must include a written test and hands-on training to ensure safe use and accuracy.

Completion of a criminal history background check.

Submission of fingerprints, proof of iden-

tity, and verification that the individual is at least 21 years old.

The federal firearm license must be renewed ever y five years at which point the applicant will have to go through a background check and undergo firearm safety training again. The bill contains a mechanism for the DOJ to revoke the license if the individual poses a danger to themselves or to others.

It would require the Federal Bureau of Investigation to regularly conduct checks to ensure that individuals are in compliance with federal license requirements and keeps in place requirements that all people purchasing firearms from a federal firearms licensee undergo a background check.

Several studies have shown that licensing laws reduce gun violence in states that have enacted them. According to the Giffords Law Center, Connecticut saw its gun homicide and gun suicide rates decrease by 28 and 33 percent, respectively, after passing a state licensing law. In contrast, after Missouri repealed its firearm licensing law, the state saw a 47 percent increase in its gun homicide rate and 24 percent increase

in its gun suicide rate. Licensing laws also enjoy strong support from Americans, with 77% backing the measure according to a Quinnipiac survey from 2019.

“In our nation, gun violence has become eerily routine and we’ve done little to stop the horrific mass shootings that devastate the lives of victims and their loved ones,” said Sen. Booker. “Accepting this shameful status quo will continue to lead to deadly consequences. We need to adopt proven, common-sense measures that will address the scourge of gun violence and make our communities safer.

“This bill moves us in the right direction and is based on a simple concept - if you need a license to drive a car, you should need one to buy and possess a gun,” continued Sen. Booker. “Firearm licensing laws have broad public support and have been shown to reduce gun violence in states that have enacted them, including in my home state of New Jersey. This is the moment to enact ambitious legislation - as a nation, we must rise to it, or we are fated to witness the deadly scenes of this past weekend and years past over again.”

“The United States stands alone in our failure to protect our citizens from gun

violence. While many states, including New Jersey, have commonsense gun laws, the need for federal licensing standards has long been clear,” said Sen. Menendez.

“The Federal Firearms Licensing Act would put in place a certification process that includes firearm safety training and a thorough criminal background and identity check requiring the licensee be 21 years of age. We have a moral obligation to prevent these senseless massacres in our schools, supermarkets, places of worship and shopping malls that are tearing communities and families apart. It is my hope that my Republican colleagues will once-and-for-all recognize the urgency of action and join us in passing this legislation before more lives are senselessly lost to gun violence.”

“This legislation will save lives and protect communities across the United States from the devastating impact of gun violence,” said Sen. Blumenthal. “As shown by the success in Connecticut, simple, commonsense standards like licensing laws requiring the completion of a background check and firearm safety certification work. I’m proud to join Senators Booker and Menendez in this effort to address our nation’s gun violence epidemic.”

Governor Takes Steps To Address National Baby Formula Shortage From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – With New Jersey families facing difficulties obtaining baby formula due to the ongoing national shortage, Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 296 declaring a State of Emergency in order to activate State price gouging laws, consistent with President Biden’s actions at the federal level. The order also coordinates relief efforts and enables State agencies to take any emergency measures necessary to protect families from issues arising from the baby formula shortage. The Department of Health also released guidance for families facing challenges as a result of the shortage.

“We firmly believe that New Jersey is the best place in the nation to raise a family, and during this challenging time, we want to support our families with all of the resources at our disposal,” said Governor Murphy. “I am signing (the) executive order to enable our State to take any necessary steps to address this critical issue. To any retailer who may try to take advantage of vulnerable families during this shortage, let me be clear that this reprehensible action will not be tolerated. And

to any New Jerseyan affected by this shortage, rest assured that my administration will do everything in our power to ensure families have access to the formula they need.”

“Families need our support right now, as the national shortage of baby formula is presenting challenges for many parents who rely on this essential product,” said First Lady Tammy Murphy. “New Jersey stands with our families and will work to provide equitable access to formula to ensure the health and well-being of infants throughout our state.”

With the State of Emergency in effect, an excessive increase in the pricing of a merchant’s supply of baby formula may be considered unlawful price gouging under the Consumer Fraud Act. The activation of these price gouging laws empowers the Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) to investigate reports of potential price gouging and take action to curb such predatory practices. DCA will also continue to monitor the marketplace for other predatory and unlawful practices, including the sale of expired or unauthorized formula.

“We want businesses and consumers to know the price gouging law is now in effect to ensure baby formula is not excessively priced anywhere it is offered or sold in the state,” said Acting Attorney General Platkin.

“Individuals or merchants looking to make a

profit by violating the law during the current state of emergency will face severe penalties.”

Under the order, all State departments and agencies are also authorized to take steps – such as issuing waivers, orders, directives, or emergency regulations – to help ease supply chain issues in regards to formula, limit actions that would reduce the availability of formula, and draw on federal resources to accomplish these goals.

In addition to the executive order, the Governor has also spoken with the leaders of two major baby formula companies with a presence in New Jersey to emphasize the critical nature of the current situation, thank them for their commitment to increasing production capacity, and offer any assistance the State can offer during this time.

Understanding that low and moderate-income families are particularly vulnerable to challenges resulting from the national shortage of formula, the New Jersey Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) – which falls under the Department of Health (DOH) – is taking steps to ensure equitable access to formula during this time.

WIC recently applied for a federal waiver that allows program participants to exchange their recalled formula at the store, like any other customer. Participants also have the flexibility to shop at multiple different stores if their regular store does not have the supply of formula they need.

In anticipation of certain formulas being more difficult to obtain than others, WIC recently instituted formula substitutions so that program participants can replace their special formulas with other types of formula, as dictated by their doctor.

The program is currently preparing to apply for two additional federal waivers the state is now eligible for – one of which would allow participants to receive a different brand of formula without needing a doctor’s note.

The other waiver would further allow WIC participants to receive different forms and sizes of formula than they normally receive.

“The Department of Health remains committed to ensuring that families participating in the Women Infants and Children (WIC) program can access the nutritional support and resources needed to care for their infants,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli.

“Feeding your infant during this shortage can be stressful. If you are in need of emotional support, your local maternal health consortia can connect you with counseling services, virtual support groups, and other resources you may need.”

For DOH’s guidance for families impacted by the shortage, details on how to file a complaint with DCA about suspected price gouging or unfair business practices related to the sale of baby formula, and other information about the state’s efforts to address the national baby formula shortage, visit nj.gov/ babyformula.

Cops: Manchester Gang Member Dealt Heroin

By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – A heroin investigation throughout the County has led to the arrest of a Manchester man after police found drugs and an illegal handgun in his home, police said.

The Manchester Township Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Team identified an address in the Suncrest Village Apartment complex of Manchester to be storing and distributing quantities of heroin.

Detectives identified 27-year-old Eugene Ayala Jr. of Manchester, an alleged member of the “Crips” street gang, as being involved in the distribution of heroin within the area.

On May 17, authorities executed a search warrant at the Suncrest Village address and

seized a quantity of illegally obtained Percocet tablets, a fully loaded Glock handgun containing hollow point ammunition and drug paraphernalia consistent with drug distribution.

Subsequently, Ayala Jr. was charged with Possession of Percocet, Second Degree Certain Persons Not to Possess a Firearm, Possession of Hollow Point Ammunition and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Assisting with the execution of the search warrant were members of the Ocean County Regional SWAT Team as well as members from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force.

Residents are reminded that drug-related tips can be reported to the Manchester Township Police Department anonymously at 732-657-6111 or online via the Department’s website at manchesterpolicenj.com.

Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

4 Reasons To Choose Rechargeable Hearing Aids Better hearing should be as easy, accessible, and carefree as possible. So, if you haven’t experienced rechargeable hearing devices, here are four reasons to give them a try: 1. Convenience. No more frequent battery changes. Just store your devices in their charger overnight, and enjoy all-day hearing power when you wake up.

In general, Lithium ion batteries should last at least 14-20 hours.

2. Streaming. Using Bluetooth and streaming audio can drain regular hearing aid batteries more quickly, but a simple recharge puts you back in business. Typically, 1 hr. of charge will give you 8 hours of use.

3. Safety. With the rechargeable battery sealed inside your device, there’s no wor-

ry about disposable hearing aid batteries getting into kids’ or pets’ hands, paws, or mouths.

4. Sustainability. Rechargeables may go through a battery every 1-3 years —give or take — compared to 100-200 or so disposable zinc air batteries with traditional devices. Much less waste! In addition, since the rechargeable battery is sealed inside your device, it is less susceptible to moisture and sweating which increases its reliability.

Call us for a closer look at rechargeable technology today.

Dr. Izzy & his Staff are here to answer most of your hearing health questions. We can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/ Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

How Lavender, Rosemary And Peppermint Heal

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Since the dawn of time, give or take a few thousand years, civilizations across all continents have been learning how to heal their people. We figured out that we could reduce, heal, alleviate, dare I use the word “cure” ailments with certain plants.

With time, the awareness of what specifically could be used to heal has evolved, as science allowed us to find active components within the leaf, stems, root or flowers. Perhaps some of this occurred by accident, or through trial and error.

Nowadays, when you’re not feeling well, you call your doctor in order to receive a prescription for relief. But I think you would agree, there are plenty of mild health concerns that can easily be remedied at home. Let’s take a look at 3 popular plants you can grow at home. These will give you plenty of health benefits!

1. Lavender. An antimicrobial best recognized by its beautiful violet-colored florets. This common herb makes for a fragrant and colorful addition to any home or garden. It’s great at reducing stress and insomnia, healing skin wounds and reducing pain/itching from bug bites.

Growing Tip. Lavender likes sunlight and a quick-draining soil. I have it growing in my backyard as a perennial. I suggest a pot with drainage holes at the base so any excess water can be flushed away.

When those pretty flowers start showing, handle them with care and shape your plant to keep it happy.

2. Rosemary. Not just a pretty name, this little plant is hardy and bushy, plus it’s a perennial. If you can’t grow it, buy some fresh herb in the produce section to include in recipes. Rosemary is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer compound plus it’s a strong antioxidant.

Studies show it improves circulation and immunity.

Growing Tip. I have this in my garden, it is frost tolerant. Do not over water it.

It needs at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. If you get it right, this plant will bring you joy (and healing) for up to 30 years!

3. Peppermint. Commonly used as an ingredient with food and drink, tea and in sweets, peppermint might surprise you with how many healing qualities it offers beyond your seasonal Peppermint Mocha Latte! Peppermint can be used dried, fresh, as an oil or as an essential oil. It can lift depression, soothe anxiety and in some cases help with GI issues such as nausea, diarrhea and flatulence.

Growing Tip. Very easy to grow and easy to propagate! This will overtake your garden really fast so be careful with it. Partial shade will be the ideal location.

Not only does tending to a garden (or a single pot if that’s all you desire), keep us more active, but it’s kind of like therapy.

What comes around, grows around! This peaceful hobby provides glorious health benefits as you can see from the 3 herbs I covered already! When you’re kind to your plants, they are terribly generous in return!

ISLAND HEIGHTS – A brand-new art exhibit will be on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild this June.

The show, which runs June 5 through June 28, will unveil two new solo shows as well as its monthly members showcase.

Gallery one features the work of Manalapan-based painter, Joyce Wasseman.

“Brush Strokes” is a new exhibition from

Joyce showcasing a diverse collection of acrylic on canvas paintings. In her fi rst solo show, Joyce creates art that explores bold colors with many different themes inspired by the world around her. Joyce was raised on Staten Island but has lived in New Jersey for more than 30 years and spends much of the summer at the Jersey Shore. She also paints custom pet portraits,

has participated in the Belmar Art Walk and displays her art regularly at the Freehold Art Gallery.

Gallery two showcases the work of iconographer, Suzanne Schleck. A retired public school art teacher, born and raised in Missouri, Suzanne has resided in New Jersey with her husband, George and two children for over 50 years. Suzanne began

studying icon painting using egg tempera and gold leaf with the Rev. John Walsted, from 1989 until his death in 2014. Suzanne’s work has been published in Episcopal Life and online with the Episcopal Church and the Visual Arts. Her icons can also be seen locally at Christ Episcopal Church in Toms River, as well as in churches throughout the country. Suzanne has taught egg tempera icon workshops at Kanuga Conferences in Hendersonville, NC since 2005 and at St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Richmond, VA since 2011, as well as workshops at Trinity Church, Wall Street in NYC, St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, CT, the Gray Center in Canton, MS, and her own parish, Christ Church in Toms River.

Celebrate the talents of these fi ne artists June 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Guild’s opening reception, or throughout the month of June at OCAG, 22 Chestnut Avenue Island Heights.

For more information call 732-270-3111 or visit ocartistsguild.org.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics

The questions often arises, “What happens Christopher R. Shea Esq. if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey.

Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury.

Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

Spring is All About!

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered.

In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner.

Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Registration Open For Girl Scout Camp

FARMINGDALE – Summer camp gives children space to explore nature, time to connect with other kids and positive role models, and the opportunity to embrace outdoor adventures like swimming, climbing, and boating.

For more than 50 years, our camps at Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore have helped shape thousands of girls, giving them life skills and lasting memories of friendships that began around the campfire and blossomed on hikes through the woods.

Every year campers at both Camp Sacajawea and Camp Amity Acres express how much fun they have at camp making friends and trying new activities. And parents remind us of the many ways that children thrive and grow in courage, confidence, and character at summer camp.

Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore would like to share a few of the many benefits that children gain from joining a summer camp community: Connecting to Nature and Friends: At camp, kids unplug from cell phones and digital devices and connect to outdoor experiences and to one another. Exploring the outdoors gives children an appreciation for nature, stirs their imagination, ignites their creativity, and supports healthy development. Interacting with new friends teaches kids to cultivate

relationships, broaden their perspectives and build bridges of understanding.

Developing Confidence, Self- Esteem and Resilience: Children take on new challenges at camp every day, which helps boost their self-esteem and self-confidence. It’s a place for kids to practice making decisions for themselves and to try new things. Encouraging children to face challenges and take risks in a safe, supportive environment helps build resiliency.

Engaging with Positive Role Models: As a close-knit community away from home and school, summer camp introduces children to many different role models. Camp counselors and counselors in training (CIT) are often young adults and high school students who children easily relate to. Kids look up to these motivating mentors, who model what it means to be a strong leader as they guide their camp groups through daily activities. For many campers, this is where their own leadership journey begins.

Camp Amity Acres in Waretown, and Camp Sacajawea in Farmingdale, are open to all girls, ages 3-15 and boys, ages 3-12 from Monday, June 20 through Friday August 19, for an unforgettable summer.

AroUnD the JerSeY Shore Girl Scouts Announce Almost 1 Million Cookies Sold Locally

FARMINGDALE – Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, providing girls a safe space with strong sisterhood and adult membership, closed out a successful 2022 Cookie Season, despite facing challenges due to the nationwide supply chain issues that affected their baker.

Over 7,400 girl-led cookie businesses thrived with online and in-person booths and navigated the challenges of nationwide supply chain issues.

This year, Girl Scouts in Monmouth and Ocean counties sold cookies in person and on-line to sell almost 1 million boxes of cookies!

For over 100 years, the Cookie Program continues to be the largest entrepreneurial skill development program in the world. Every Girl Scout Cookie purchase fuels local Girl Scout adventures throughout the year.

When faced with the issue of delayed cookie deliveries for in-person cookie sales, girl entrepreneurs showed their resilience and focused on marketing their online business, helping thousands of girls reach their goals to raise funds for community programs and outdoor

adventures. 100% of the net profits from Girl Scout cookie sales stays in local communities.

“Our girl entrepreneurs and volunteers have overcome many new challenges over the past few years, and this year was no exception,” said C.Y. Wong, Director of Product Programs. “We are so grateful to our volunteers, communities, and bakers who all stepped up in a big way to help our girl entrepreneurs turn this challenge into an opportunity.”

Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore will donate excess cookie inventory to food pantries in Monmouth and Ocean County. The donation program allows Girl Scout customers to buy cookies and then donate them to important local causes including food pantries, programs that serve people who are homeless and to senior centers.

“This donation will put a smile on the faces of so many,” said Girl Scout of the Jersey Shore Interim CEO, Heather Coburn.

To support cookie donations contact Carla Scarabino, VP External Affairs at cscarabino@fsun.org.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee

By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help.

However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides.

Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly.

“You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in

addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology.

After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting.

17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area.

While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch.

You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said.

“It’s good continuity of care.”

His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve.

That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist.

Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office,

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAY 28 - june 3

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Bounce back and try a different approach. You may have a packed schedule but by mid-week your hard work should pay off. An upswing in your popularity may offer the encouragement and incentive to keep going strong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As much as you might want to delegate it all to someone else, it’s likely that the only way it will all get done is if you do it yourself. It may not be possible to rest on your laurels in the week ahead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Turn toward the sun like a sunflower. In the upcoming week, there may be times when your thoughts dwell on unpleasant subjects and all the negatives, but you can grow and gain strength if you focus on the positives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might find it difficult to reach your goals immediately. If you want to ditch old habits for better new ones, remember how long you’ve been doing the old habits and be realistic about time needed to really solidify a change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Dealing with difficult personalities may give you the experience you need to achieve your ambitions.

You may be more cautious than usual about spending in the week ahead but more focused on your job and making money.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Family members should faithfully follow your lead.

When other people make tough demands, loved ones can support you. Avoid being caught up in someone’s agenda that might not be what it appears in the coming week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Call the shots when your drive for success is activated. You are mentally incisive and adept at communications. Apply self-discipline and organizational skills to reach your financial goals in the week ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The darker the night, the more you appreciate the moon and stars. If your ambitions are sparked, then it is time to apply your skill sets and get to work.

Build strength by handling your obligations in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make teamwork a priority as this week unfolds. Use your abilities to put a positive spin on every challenge to persuade others to cooperate in work-intensive activities. Place emphasis on uplifting those who are down..
