Dino is starting to take shape.

By Patricia A. Miller BERKELEY – If all goes well, Dino the Dinosaur’s makeover could be fi nished in time for the holidays.

But right now, it’s a race against the weather.

Janelle Kenesko and Debbie Fassi spent much of last Thursday morning scraping the discolored

fiberglass coating off Dino’s body.

“We are very excited,” Kenesko said. “It’s fun for us. It’s a lot of work. We work every sunny day (Dinosaur - See Page 4)

Wunder Wiener’s LaCrosse Plans On Reopening Next Year

By Patricia A. Miller BEACHWOOD – Longtime Beachwood Councilman Gerry LaCrosse, owner of the popular Der Wunder Wiener, has no plans to retire.

“Not for me,” he said in an interview with The Berkeley Times.

LaCrosse suffered grievous injuries on June 11, when an SUV veered off busy Route 9 and slammed into his popular hot dog stand on Route 9 South in Bayville. He was inside the stand when the accident occurred. His business was destroyed.

Ironically, the stand was typically closed on Mondays. LaCrosse had only stopped by to drop off some items for the rest of the week.

LaCrosse spent weeks in the intensive care unit of Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune after the accident. He had more than one surgery to stop severe bleeding and had to have his spleen removed. He also had head and intestinal injuries.

He wants to reopen his famous business sometime next year, but it may take a little (LaCrosse - See Page 4)

Facts To Know About Flu Season

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – The flu vaccine does not cause the flu since it contains inf luenza viruses that have been killed, and are therefore unable to infect your body, said Jennifer Crawford, an epidemiologist who oversees the communicable disease department at the Ocean County Health Department (OCHD).

It takes the vaccine two to four weeks for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu, so if someone has been exposed before their shot, they could get the flu, she said.

Also, the vaccine, u su al ly g ive n a s a quadrivalent vaccine, only protects against four strains of the flu, and there are dozens of (Flu - See Page 5)

Dinosaur:

“Great job,” one man yelled as he drove by on a motorcycle.

It was two summers ago that Bayville officials and members of the Save the Dinosaur Committee announced that Shannon MacDonald, who grew up in Bayville, would oversee the renovations. Residents and Dino fans bought T-shirts, bumper stickers and other Dino items to help fund the work.

MacDonald started on the dinosaur, and was paid for her time, but she is no longer working on it, Berkeley Township Historical Society Treasurer Bud Magahan told The Berkeley Times recently. But there is enough money left to finish Dino’s renovation, he said.

So Zangari learned of Keneske, Calabrese and Fassi, who agreed to take over the work on Dino.

Dino has been moved back from Route

9. He was perilously close to the right of way previously, which probably accounted for him being whacked so many times by motor vehicles and trucks. Zangari’s property line ends at the planters in front of the building.

His new neck and face, made of specialized plaster, now face north, rather than directly at Route 9. His “stumps” as Zangari calls them, have been removed and actual feet installed. He has a new tail, too.

He will also have lighted eyes by the time the work is done.

Dino has watched over Bayville since taxidermist Will Farrow purchased him from a Sinclair dealer back in 1932. He has survived blizzards, hurricanes, nor’easters and Superstorm Sandy.

But he developed a large crack around his neck in 2015 and many were concerned for his survival.

Committee members and volunteers removed Dino’s head and a portion of his neck back then, to prevent any further damage. But none of that has come easy. Dino’s insides had to be cleaned. They were full of insects, rotting wood and even a raccoon that had managed to enter through a hole, Zangari said.

Dino will eventually have a new copper and bronze patina. Then, protective coatings will be added.

A number of local volunteers have helped in the recent renovation. Henriques Yachts provided the expansion foam that was put inside. L&E Welding lent a boom truck.

The forklift came from Jersey Rents. Millhurst Mills and Ace Hardware provided other products.

Dino is carefully guarded by 13 surveillance cameras, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Zangari said.

LaCrosse:

and a GoFundMe account to help him with expenses since the accident that destroyed his business.

“I owe it to them and I owe it to myself,” he said. “I’m not going to let those injuries take me out of the picture. I’m too much of a fighter for that.”

For the past few months, LaCrosse has been undergoing intense physical therapy to help rebuild the muscles around his damaged shoulder, to prepare for his Dec. 3 surgery.

When he reopens his stand, he wants everyone who supported him to sign a piece of wood that will be used in the new store.

The fundraisers held by local police departments and emergency management services and his GoFundMe account saved his life, LaCrosse said “That was my lifeline,” he said. “There is no way I could have made it.”

The three-day fundraiser was held in July by the Berkeley P.B.A. 237 and the Beachwood Pine Beach P.B.A. They

cooked hot dogs, cheesesteaks and all of the other items LaCrosse cooked at his stand.

As of early this week, $11,764 out of a $15,000 goal has been raised by 246 people since the accident. If you would like to donate, visit gofundme.com/gerald-lacrosse039s-huge-losshelp.

And soon both he and his wife Beverly will be partners in recovery, duking it out for the Tylenol. She is slated to have a knee replacement in December.

Continued From Page 1 that’s available.”

If the weather cooperates, there may be a celebration in December to debut the new Dino, said Anthony Zangari, a Bayville resident who bought the Heritage Square building Dino has stood in front of several years ago.

“If we don’t get this done by fall, it’s going to be in the spring,” he said.

Zangari first had to concentrate on bringing the building up to code. But there was never a question of whether Dino would remain on the property, he said.

“I didn’t want it to leave the site,” Zangari said.

Kenesko is encouraged by all of the people who pass by on busy Route 9, wave and honk their horns when they see Dino.

Continued From Page 1 longer than he planned on because his right shoulder has to be replaced.

“It’s a constant thing,” he said of his shoulder pain. “It’s not going to go away for a long time. I’m Tylenol’s best customer.”

The 75 year old wants to reopen to thank his former customers and all of the people who have donated to various fundraisers

Flu:

Continued From Page 1 strains out there, Crawford said.

“So if you come into contact with a different strain that’s in the vaccine, you could get the flu,” she said.

That’s true, said Dr. Philip Angelo, a family physician from Brick who works for CentraState in Colts Neck, but getting the flu shot offers protection against strains that aren’t even in the vaccine.

He said there is documented evidence that the flu shot makes the symptoms of different strains of the flu milder, even if it’s not an exact match, reducing the both the need for hospitalization and mortality rates.

If you have aches and pains after the f lu shot, it’s just your immune system “charging up and learning how to fight the flu,” Dr. Angelo said.

“There are a number of important reasons to get the flu shot. First, it kills up to 30,000 people a year in the United States, and that number is not just old and frail people,” he said. “Younger people are also getting sick and dying from the new flu strains.”

Also, the flu knocks you down for a week, and for a lot of people, missing a week of work could present multiple hardships, Dr. Angelo said.

“Getting your flu shot prevents you from spreading it to other people, and some people - like those with advanced lung disease, or people on chemo - if they get the flu, they could die,” he said.

“Get the shot now before it starts coming around, even if you’re young and healthy,” Dr. Angelo said. “I get my flu shot every year, and I have for the past 20 years.”

Flu viruses are constantly changing. The composition of U.S. flu vaccines is reviewed annually and updated as needed to match circulating flu viruses, Crawford said.

“We vaccinate for flu viruses that we expect to be circulating that season based on other parts of the world that experience winter when we are not, she said.

While Crawford said it’s too soon to comment on the efficacy rate of this year’s quadrivalent vaccine, people who got last year’s vaccine were 40 to 60 percent less likely to get the flu, she said.

“It’s better to get vaccinated early in the fall. We started our flu clinics in early October because we wanted people to start getting it before the influenza starts circulating,” she said.

The OCHD offers multiple clinics at multiple locations throughout the fall until mid-December. Their public information officer, Brian Lippai, said it depends on an individual’s health insurance, but most co-pays are about $20.

The vaccinations are free to those who are enrolled in Medicare Part B. If an individual has a financial hardship, Lippai said to talk to the clinic manager who would discretely discuss getting the shot for free on a case-by-case basis.

The OCHD recommends that everyone over the age of six month should get vaccinated against the seasonal flu every year.

The shots are especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases.

For more information, including information about upcoming flu clinics, visit ochd. org or call 732 341-9700 or 800 342-9738 extension 7604.

By Phyllis Brown A friend of mine was sick. She just wasn’t up to cooking and eating. That happens to a lot of us. We live alone and don’t have to worry about anyone else so we just have no reason to make sure we eat. We’ll feel more like food when we feel better. Right? We also drink too little water.

Her son wanted her to go to let him take her to the hospital. We have all sorts of reasons not to go. Her reason was I’ll eat something and feel better later. So, she said “NO.” He gave up and let her stay home. She felt she just needed some rest. Don’t be too stubborn and independent for your own good! She really knew something was wrong when she couldn’t remember what familiar things around her house were called. She wound up in the hospital anyway and for a lot longer.

She could have died. She had a friend take her because she didn’t want the ambulance.

The first point is, take changes in your health seriously and the second is there is no shame in calling 9-1-1 for the ambulance.

If you are really weak, you could fall and how will your friend get you off the ground.

They will be fortunate if you don’t take them down with you. Look where we live. We are all in the same boat or will be soon. If you need help ask for it, please. That is what we are here for. We’d much rather help a weak person get to the hospital safely than do CPR on a person who has been unconscious for a while.

Medical professionals and their families are probably the worst at taking medical advice or seeking care so don’t think you’re alone in thinking you will be better tomorrow. I once went to bed with chest pains that ran down my shoulder. I said to myself, no. I’m not having a heart attack. I’ll get some rest.

If I wake up tomorrow, it wasn’t a heart attack.” I didn’t want to look foolish or be a hypochondriac. I was stupid but lucky. It

wasn’t a heart attack. For another friend it was a heart attack and she was lucky because she let her friends talk her into going to the hospital.

We go to houses and the patient doesn’t want to go to the hospital. He or she just wants us to assure them they are good to stay home. We’re not doctors. We don’t diagnose what is wrong with you. If you feel different than usual, we ask questions to see if there might be a reason. Some of the questions we ask are. Has your level of consciousness has changed? Do you drink plenty of water? (Coffee doesn’t count as water) When was the last time you ate and what was it? (A muffin yesterday morning gets another - no points)? Did it stay down?

Are you on any new medications? (They may not agree with you) Did your doctor change the dosages of any of your medications? What were you doing when or just before you got the pain? (Vacuuming under the bed and shoveling snow will raise your go to the hospital score).

I was reading an article in HealthViews in which the patient had abdominal pain after being prescribed a steroid for a condition in her eye. She thought it was a side effect of the steroid and went back to bed. She got so weak that it took her a while to get to her mobile phone and she could only text her husband “HELP”. It turned out she was in septic shock and was put into emergency surgery at Riverview Hospital.

You don’t feel well and it is different call 9-1-1. I could be life or death.

If you feel great and have the time call 732-240-3933 and join the Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad. All the volunteer squads need more volunteers. Come to 100 Port Royal and volunteer for an interesting and rewarding job. We cover an area that includes 10,765 homes.

Have a happy and healthy holiday!

VFW Post 10185 News

BERKELEY – The next meeting of Silver/ Holiday V.F.W. Post 10185 will be held on Thursday, December 6 at 1 p.m. at Silver Ridge Park West Clubhouse, 145 Westbrook Drive, Silver Ridge West.

We hold our meetings on the first Thursday of every month. We meet in the day time, so that you don’t need to worry about driving at night.

To join our post, just bring a copy of your Discharge (DD-214, or VFW membership card to transfer in) to our meeting and you will be signed up right away. You will receive a hardy welcome and refreshments before the meeting.

You’ll get a chance to socialize with fellow Veterans and make new friends.

If you need a ride to the meeting or just want more information, call Past Commander Ray Opland at 732-505-0644.

At 1 p.m. on Thursday, December 7 V.F.W. Post 10185’s Commander James Egan, the Color-guard, Post members and their wives will hold a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day at Silver Ridge Park West Clubhouse, 145 Westbrook Drive, Silver Ridge. All Veterans Organizations and the public are invited to attend. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony.

Friday, December 7 is the 77th Anniversary of the Japanese Bombing of our Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and sinking of our battleships. This was the beginning of WWII for the United States in 1941; President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in his radio broadcast to our nation that “This Day of infamy will Live Forever”. The casualties were 2,403 killed, 1,178 wounded and the Battleship Arizona is still lying on the bottom of the Pearl Harbor as a memorial to the Days of Infamy.

There will not be any V.F.W. District 12

meeting in December.

The month of December is time for Joy and Gift Giving. V.F.W. Post 10185 made donations to various organizations during the past year. V.F.W. Post 10185 is generous and civic minded to worthy causes.

V.F.W. Post 10185 wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Peace on Earth.

Remember if you hear of any Post member passing away or being in the hospital, call Chaplin Thomas Kraszewski at 848-210-3722 and let him know.

VFW Post 10185 would like you to drop your old and faded Flags off at either Holiday City South Clubhouse (Main Building), Silver Ridge Park West Clubhouse, Silver Ridge Park North Clubhouse, and Holiday City Berkeley Club House #1. Please remove the sticks from the small Flags first and the Flags will be disposed of properly.

THE GUT-RETINA AXIS

While it’s too soon to draw clear-cut conclusions, researchers believe that a “lowglycemic diet” (which helps reduce blood sugar levels, assists with weight loss, and lowers the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes) may be associated with changes in gut bacteria that improve the health of the retina. This would be important news for anyone who wants to prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which alters the central portion of the retina (macula). According to laboratory research, a low-glycemic diet (relatively rich in slowly digested whole grains) proved to be more effective in reducing changes in the retina that are characteristic of AMD than a high-glycemic diet (containing rapidly digested carbohydrates). This link is sure to be explored further.

Spinach and kale are full of plant pigments that can help stem the development of macular degeneration and cataracts. Broccoli, peas, and avocados are also good sources of this powerful antioxidant duo. At our office you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Citta Foundation, Inc. recently announced a $600,000 grant awarded to the Jersey Shore Council of the Boy Scouts. The grant will be disbursed over the next six years, helping to fund improvements to the Council’s camp, the Citta Scout Reservation and to enhance the Council’s endowment fund.

According to the President of the Citta Foundation, Kristin Farfalla, the grant was made in honor of her late grandfather, Joseph Citta.

“My grandfather was a strong supporter of the Boy Scouts and their preparation of young people to become contributing members of society. We are very pleased to make this gift to continue my grandfather’s legacy of supporting scouting in the Jersey Shore area,” said Farfalla.

Joseph Citta is also the namesake of the

camp.

“We are honored to be the recipient of the generosity of the Citta Foundation. Their overwhelming generosity will enable us to provide relevant programs emphasizing character, leadership and positive achievement to thousands of the area’s young people. This gift continues the decades of support from the Citta family and we are most grateful for all they have done in the past and continue to provide for future scouts,” stated Jim Gillick, Scout Executive/CEO of the Jersey Shore Council.

The Citta Scout Reservation, adorned with a statue of Joseph A. Citta, is located in the Brookville section of Barnegat, NJ. For more information, contact Jim Gillick at the Jersey Shore Council at 732-349-1037.

The Jersey Shore Council is located at 1518 Ridgeway Road, Toms River, NJ.

Chewing. Slurping. Sniffling. These everyday sounds can drive some of us crazy, and now we are one step closer to knowing why.

Often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, misophonia is a soundprocessing disorder that many experience but don’t understand and don’t know what to do about.

About Misophonia -Misophonia (which translates roughly to hatred of sound) refers to strong reactions to specific sounds that can include anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, and obsessive-compulsive behavior. The offending sounds are ones that happen in everyday life, making avoidance difficult. Misophonics report anxiety, panic, and anger when exposed to trigger sounds. This compromises their ability to complete everyday tasks, be successful in the workplace, and engage in social interactions.

Causes -A 2017 study published in the journal Current Biology discovered that in misophonics, the part of the brain that joins our senses with our emotions — the anterior insular cortex — is overly active, and it’s connected differently to areas involved in remembering experiences, according to Dr. Sukhbinder Kumar, the lead researcher from the Institute of Neuroscience at Newcastle University. He tells The New York Times, “We think that misophonia may be heavily connected to recalling past memories, because people with misophonia have had very bad experiences.” Onset can occur in early childhood, with sensitivities becoming serious and affecting everyday coping usually between ages 8 and 14. If untreated, it can last a lifetime. We do not know how many are affected, as it has only recently been diagnosed as a condition.

Treatment- Researchers do not know why specific sounds trigger such a negative reaction; Sukhbinder hopes to identify the brain signature of the trigger sounds, which will help with finding treatment. For now, he hopes misophonics will find relief in knowing that what they experience is an actual disorder. Treatment has been most effective when based on a tinnitus-retrain-

ing therapy (TRT) model first introduced

by Pawel J. Jastreboff, Ph.D., Sc.D., and Margaret M. Jastreboff, Ph.D., who coined the term misophonia in 2003. TRT, a combination of sound therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, has proven effective in 83 percent of cases.

In TRT, pleasant environmental sounds or music are introduced into the patient’s ear canal. The patient learns to create positive associations with sound and practice intentional rethinking of trigger sounds. Use of earplugs or music-streaming earbuds to block out offending noises is not recommended. This exacerbates the problem by increasing sensitivity to sound. It’s More Than an Annoyance — It’s Misophonia.

5 Ice Cube Recipes To Help You Lose Weight

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Drinking water instead of soda can be the fastest, simplest way to lose weight and improve health. Why? We all need fresh water to dilute poisons in our body and fi lter toxins through our kidneys. When you become dehydrated with sugar-laden drinks, this fi ltration function gets harder. Blood sugar increases. Remember, water is essential to life because it keeps us hydrated. Having enough water on board can reduce the risk of migraines while improving energy.

Yet, despite the common sense aspect to drinking water and staying hydrated, some people insist on drinking tainted water that was perfectly good before some giant food company turned it into a liquid missile.

Drinking chemical liquids has become the norm. Millions of people worldwide choose to drink what I call “messed up water,” water that has been manufactured to contain lab-created dyes some of which trigger anxiety and asthma, various artificial sweeteners or preservatives, a few known carcinogens, as well as refi ned sugar.

I’m sure you’d be willing to at least offer your children a cleaner, healthier version of water if you knew how. So my intention today is to teach you how to make water prettier, tastier and fresher water with something cheap and easy like ice cubes.

I can show you how to make them medicinal by infusing them with fruits or

herbs. Then whenever you’re ready you can slowly tilt yourself in the direction of clean, pure water or fizzy seltzer drinks.

Changing from soda to water is easy if you want to. It’s just a choice, so try this: Blueberries: Add three blueberries to each cube and freeze. When these melt in your water later on, you can eat them. Seltzer water is ideal. Blueberries enhance cognitive function, vision and cholesterol/triglyceride ratios.

Mint: Put a tiny sprig each ice cube.

When it melts in your water it will add a minty zing and freshen your breath.

Mint is great for energy and may improve digestion.

Strawberries: Use organic ones. Wash them and cut the stems, then slice thinly.

Put a slice in each cube. Strawberries have 113 percent of the daily value of Vitamin C, plus a lot of manganese which makes your SOD (detoxification) enzyme work better.

Matcha: Brew some matcha green tea at half strength and then freeze it.

These make beautiful green cubes and matcha infuses your water with EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which is a known cancer fighter and fat-burning compound.

Greens: Make superfood ice cubes out of your favorite brand of greens, I make mine at half-strength.

Cooks Fundraising Christmas Lights Celebrates Sixth Year

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Christmas really does come in July, or at least the summer, for the Cooks.

In its sixth year, The Cooks Christmas Lights will light up at 1 Carlson Court to help raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. To date, the Cooks have raised more than $21,000 for the organization. One-hundred percent of the donations received go to the MS Society.

The tradition didn’t start out as a fund raiser. Michael Cook and his wife Carol played around with a 16-channel sequencer and synchronized seven songs to lights that fi rst year.

“We like Christmas and we like Christmas lights,” Michael Cook said in a phone interview Nov. 7 with The Jackson Times.

He was sitting at this kitchen table, testing 300 lights before starting the long installation process outside the house.

In its second year, having attracted visitors who viewed the show and asked if they took donations, Michael and Carol, whose son suffers from MS, decided to adopt the National MS Society as its benefactor for donations.

It’s grown to nearly 33,000 lights and eight songs, four new this year. This includes the 3,200-light spiral mega tree and four singing Christmas tree faces. Two years ago, the family added a 1,008-bulb pixel matrix, which will make another

appearance this year.

It takes months to put in all the work to synchronize the lights to music, finagle the electrical equipment and then install all the displays. The work starts in the summer and gets tweaked up until the fi rst show after Thanksgiving.

And, of course, there are the candy canes.

Michael Cook gave out more than 7,000 last year, and hopes to top that number this year.

Their fundraising efforts have caught the attention of the National MS Society. This year, on Dec. 9, the family will be recognized during the Society’s Breakthrough’s event in Iselin. The event includes keynote speakers and a time to recognize those who raise money for MS research. It’s the fi rst year the Cooks have been invited to attend.

The Cooks Christmas Lights starts Nov. 24 and runs through New Year’s Day. Guests can view the show Sundays through Thursdays, 6-10 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays 6-11 p.m. Viewing instructions are posted by their driveway, but guests should tune into FM 100.9.

Michael Cook asked that visitors make sure to turn off headlights to better enjoy the show. Please don’t block neighbors’ driveways. A place to leave donations will be clearly marked.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics

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.

The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during the course of my duties Michael J. Deem 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.

Health Dept. Reminds Residents To Vaccinate Their Pets

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind residents that vaccinating their precious furry friends can save their pets lives from many deadly diseases such as canine distemper and rabies.

“We have recently seen an increase in canine distemper cases in raccoons here in Ocean County so now is a good time to urge all cat and dog owners to vaccinate their pets with age appropriate vaccines as recommended by their veterinarian,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Pet vaccines exist to prevent your pet from falling ill. They provide immunity from a range of infectious diseases that can affect both humans and animals.

Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator reminds us, “Living in Ocean County, many of us share our surroundings with wildlife. Sometimes animals such as raccoons, skunks and opossum may have an unexpected encounter with a family pet so it’s best to be protected from any of the diseases those animals may potentially be carrying. And you can never forget that rabies can be passed

on from animals to humans so keeping vaccinations up-to-date is crucial in maintaining not only your pet’s health, but your own.”

Tips to keep your pets safe from wildlife: • Keep your dogs on a leash while on walks or at the park • Keep your cats indoors • Do not catch or remove wildlife form their homes • Don’t feed wildlife on your property and don’t feed your pets outside • Keep garbage can lids secure • Enjoy wildlife from a distance Regenye added, “Pet owners should schedule annual wellness appointments with their veterinarian to discuss their health and vaccination schedule. However, if you suspect your cat or dog had contact with a sick animal you should call your veterinarian right away.”

If you have any questions regarding vaccinations please call the Ocean County Animal Facilities at 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127 or your veterinarian. You can also visit the Health Department’s website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

WWI:

Continued From Page 1 centennial and the war’s impact on Ocean County 100 years ago. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders hosted the event marking the Armistice Day Centenary on Nov. 11.

The ceremony was held on the front lawn of the Ocean County Courthouse, on Washington Street. The program included period music and to add to the atmosphere, the exterior of the courthouse was decorated with red, white and blue bunting typical of the time period, and an enlarged replica of the Victory Medal which currently hangs between the columns.

Speakers included Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, Ocean County Historian Tim Hart, and Michael Schaffer, the Head Trustee of American Legion Post 129. Michael Magnum, the director of the Ocean County Parks and Recreation Department, served as master of ceremonies.

As is tradition, at 11 a.m. local time, Americans across the nation rang bells in remembrance of those who served and sacrificed during World War I. Attendees of the morning ceremony rang a historic bell that had previously been housed at a Presbyterian Church in town, 75 times for the number of residents who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War I. Among those who rang the bell was Don Dorski, a township resident and Vietnam War veteran who was joined by his wife Barbara.

The couple was enjoying their wedding anniversary and said that it was important to come out for the ceremony.

“When you think about what this country has gone through, you want people to remember our history,” said Barbara Dorski, a retired teacher. She has written patriotic songs for different occasions and noted the importance of instilling patriotism in young people.

That lesson wasn’t lost on Michael B. Mangum, 7, Little Egg Harbor, who is a Cub Scout of Pack 539. The scout was the first to ring the bell in front of the court house.

“America entered the war in 1917 but it had erupted in 1914. The US could not stand idly by. The total number of both civilian and military casualties was estimated at 37 million people,” Haines said. She added that 2,433 county residents served in the war which was over 10 percent of Ocean County’s population at the time.

The Berkeley Times, November 17, 2018, Page 25 Recognition of the World War I Centennial began with a ceremony on April 6, 2017 honoring the County servicemen who were involved in the “War to End All Wars.” The event’s location was symbolic and fitting as it was held in historic Courtroom 1, because Ocean County soldiers heading for war in 1917 first mustered at the county courthouse.

The Centennial Commemoration, initiated by Freeholder Deputy Director John C. Bartlett Jr., continued with the help of the Tuckerton Seaport Stitchers by constructing Centennial Service Flags. The stitchers donated their time to create 28 commemorative service flags, one for each of the municipalities that existed in 1918 in Ocean County.

The flags were designed in homage to the World War I era practice of creating community flags. Each of the flags includes 13 stars representing the original colonies, a blue number indicating the total individuals who served from each municipality and a gold number representing the total individuals from that town who made the supreme sacrifice.

The Stitchers used an existing service flag located and examined in Cape May to provide a basis for the contemporary effort.

“The Service Flags have added a unique perspective to the history of World War I in Ocean County,” Freeholder Bartlett stated in a county press release. Bartlett serves as liaison to the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission. “The flags have allowed the public to be re-engaged with the World War I era, and has shown how their towns were impacted by the war.”

“John is a history buff and has read over 100 books on the subject and worked with our historian Tim Hart and the County’s Parks & Recreation Department,” Haines said during the ceremony.

The program concluded with a dedication of a cannon, which was restored by the American Legion Post 129, as the County’s new monument to the Great War. “It was in pretty bad condition when they got it,” Hart said.

Magnum joined members of the post to unveil the plaque. “They found it. It was in horrible shape. These guys restored it and it is now in magnificent. It will now be here for everyone in the county to see,” Magnum said.

Parks and Recreation staff member Brianna Blank read the poem “When the Battle Is Over” following the dedication.

The St. Brendan the Navigator Pipes and Drums, Point Pleasant, also took part in the ceremony.

The cost is $5 per person for ages 9 and up.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of NOV 17-NOV 23

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week to come you may be enthusiastic about achieving your material goals. Trying to switch horses in midstream, however, could land you deep in the river with no horse at all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Juggle several balls at once. Hard work may be called for where your business is concerned this week, but romantic fantasies are vying for attention as well. Put things in proper perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Skepticism is a healthy attribute. Be discerning when you make decisions. This week you might not be able to trust your intuitions or there may be a misunderstanding about a message.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Roll up your sleeves to make money. Put the accent on reliability and perseverance in the upcoming week. Show off your very best manners to impress others and win a few brownie points.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Consistent effort in the week ahead will win recognition and appreciation from those who count the most. Work hard and be willing to wait for results and a pat on the back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No one can be a tower of strength all the time. But acting helpless won’t bring the sympathy that you crave. There could be miscommunications and verbal mix-ups in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a tendency to push the limits of tolerance and see how far you can go. Remain skeptical of things that may only look good on the surface and be sure to research the facts this week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put it in motion. Ideas that go around and around in your head may have merit. This could be a good week to tackle a research project or initiate a plan because you will stick to it like glue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make moneymaking a priority this week. You have the willpower to work long and hard to reach a financial goal and the dedication to see major projects through to the end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take pride in pursuing your passions. You really do have the ambition and know how to get ahead so when opportunity knocks jump to answer the door. Get ahead this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid extremes to realize your dreams. Achieve a balance of genuine friendliness and reserve. To get ahead in the business world you must be both energetic and reliable in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The dogged pursuit of material things may give way to more gentle and romantic experiences by the end of the week. Your imagination may overflow and create a minor misunderstanding.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Get A Jump On Thanksgiving And Put This Classic Pie Recipe On Your Menu Now

By Wolfgang Puck

The fourth Thursday in November comes early this year. With only three weeks to get ready for Thanksgiving, that can put a lot of pressure on those who rightly consider the holiday their biggest home cooking occasion of the year.

Let me help you take a major step in your planning by solving the question of what to serve for dessert by sharing this classic Spago version of an all-time holiday favorite: pecan pie.

Many people who have tried this version tell me it’s the best pecan pie they’ve ever tasted. But, when you bake it and take a bite yourself, you will probably note that there’s nothing too out-of-theordinary about it. No chocolate chunks or drizzle, no added spices, not even any of the flecks of bacon that seem to find their way into even sweet recipes these days. It’s a straightforward pecan pie.

So, what makes the pie so memorable? Like any really good cooking, it is quality results from an accumulation of small details that all add up to a big, noticeable difference.

Let’s start with the pie pastry. I start by making my own rather than using something store-bought.

I like to use what the French call pate sucree, which translates simply as “sugar dough,” a very basic pastry that takes just minutes to prepare in a food processor and bakes up especially sweet and crisp.

Then there’s the filling. Instead of using vanilla extract to flavor the syrupy mixture that typically binds the pecans together, I start with a whole vanilla bean, scraping its tiny seeds into butter that I melt and brown to enhance the nutty flavor. For the same reason, I also like to add a spoonful of Frangelico, a widely available hazelnut liqueur, which also emphasizes the nuttiness. And I’m proud to say I include just about as many nuts as can fit into the pastry shell; a full pound of them - both a base of chopped pecans and then concentric circles of pecan halves. You won’t find a thin layer of nuts sitting atop a thick layer of syrup in this pecan pie!

You’ll also notice that I bake the pie in a tart pan with a removable bottom, available in any wellstocked kitchen supply store or online, rather than a pie pan. That ensures that the filling has an even thickness right up to the edges, for more uniform baking.

You may be tempted to give the recipe a try now, three weeks before Thanksgiving. Go ahead!

You’ll probably want to make it again and again, all the way through the holiday season.

PECAN PIE Makes one 9-inch (22.5-cm) pie, serves 8 1 pound (500 g) sugar dough (recipe follows) 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus extra for coating the tart pan 1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise 1 1/3 cups (335 mL) light corn syrup 2/3 cup (185 mL) packed light brown sugar 1 large egg 3 large egg yolks 1 tablespoon Frangelico or brandy 1/4 pound (125 g) chopped pecans 3/4 pound (375 g) pecan halves Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 375 F (190 C). Meanwhile, lightly but evenly rub the inside of a 9-inch (22.5-cm) tart pan with removable bottom with some butter, or coat with nonstick spray.

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the sugar dough into a circle 11 inches (27.5-cm) in diameter. Loosely roll it up on the rolling pin, then unroll over the tart pan, pressing the dough into the pan. With the tip of a knife, carefully trim the edges.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

For the filling, put 3 tablespoons butter in a small skillet. With the back edge of a knife, carefully scrape the seeds from each vanilla bean half; add the pod halves and scrapings to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes, taking care not to let the butter burn.

Scrape the melted butter into a medium mixing bowl; remove and discard the vanilla pod. Add the corn syrup, sugar, whole egg and yolks, and liqueur.

Whisk until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

To assemble the pie, place the prepared shell on a baking tray. Spread the chopped pecans over the bottom. Carefully arrange the pecan halves on top, rounded sides up, in concentric circles, starting along the outer edge. Evenly ladle the filling over the nuts, to reach the top of the shell.

Place the baking tray in the oven and bake until the filling feels firm when lightly, quickly touched and the edges of the pastry are deep golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for about 20 minutes.

To unmold, use the back of a spoon or a knife to tap all around the side of the tart pan. Place the pan on top of a wide-mouthed jar or can narrower than the pan. Gently free the outer ring, letting it slip down the side of the jar. Return the pie to the rack to cool completely.

Use a sharp knife to cut into wedges. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

SUGAR DOUGH Makes 1 1/2 pounds (1.5 kg) 2 1/3 cups (585 mL) all-purpose flour 1/3 cup (85 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces 2 large egg yolks 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream In a food processor with the stainless-steel blade, combine the flour and sugar, and pulse on and off once or twice. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles fine meal.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of cream. Scrape into the processor bowl and process until a ball begins to form, adding additional cream as necessary to bring the dough together.

Carefully remove from the processor bowl and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours. Store any unused dough wrapped airtight in the freezer, thawing overnight in the refrigerator before use
