Facts To Know About Flu Season

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – The flu vaccine does not cause the flu since it contains influenza 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, usually given as a quadrivalent vaccine, only protects against four strains of

the flu, and there are dozens of 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.

Cooks:

Continued From Page 1 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 first 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 first 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 first 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.

Flu:

Continued From Page 1 the flu 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.

Centennial: Continued From Page 1 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.

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

had sharply different views on the direction of the township which were expressed during their campaigns.

Reina was appointed in December 2008 and elected in a special election a year later. His new term will start on Jan 1. The township has a nonpartisan form of municipal government and while candidates do not run for office under a party banner, party affiliation was still in play during the election season.

Reina, a registered Republican, and strong supporter of the president, accused his political opponents of spreading false

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.

information during the campaign regarding the authority a mayor has regarding development in the township. Yostpille, a registered Democrat, differed on the amount of development the township has seen and how it was growing.

The mayor pointed out that recent construction projects involving hotels and a sports facility as prime ratables for the township as a means to lower the tax base that is primarily covered by property owners.

Reina also noted that Jackson had been acknowledged as one of the 10 best places to live, work and play in America on a national television show and that it was also ranked (Race - See Page 6)

“I will be very proud to represent the township for another four years,” Reina said.

Reina ran with winning council candidates Andrew Kern and Alexander Sauickie, III under the banner of “Experienced Leadership Moving Jackson Forward.” Kern received 9,483 votes while Sauickie received 9,167.

Yostphille ran under the banner of “Save Jackson” with council candidates Brandon Rose and Paul Sarti all of whom expressed that high-density housing projects recently approved and some under review, would negatively impact the township. Rose received 4,945 votes while Sarti received 4,941 Incumbent Scott Martin, who previously ran with Reina’s campaign team, ran under his own banner this year, “Jackson First.”

Martin received 2,149 votes in the election.

In a press release provided to news outlets prior to the election, Martin stated that he was concerned about the national opioid crisis which “continues to test law enforcement, governmental, and medical agencies in preserving our security and quality of life.

The Jackson School District is looking at a sharp reduction in state aid likely leading to either cuts or tax hikes (or worse yet - both).

Our town needs stricter code enforcement to combat repeat offenders of established codes and standards. These are just a few of the things on the township’s plate.”

Martin added that despite the nonpartisan form of government “the two major party candidate tickets have engaged in pure mudslinging practices via the mail and the internet. He said his campaign for council had been dedicated to providing residents with “an optimistic vision for Jackson’s future.”

Denise Garner, who ran unsuccessfully for council four years ago ran again under the banner of “The Independent Voice For The People.” She received 1,366 votes. The result tally came from the Ocean County Clerk’s Office website on Nov. 6 after the polls closed. There were 40 write-in votes for mayor and 25 write-in votes for council.

DEP Denies Heritage’s Development Plan

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The Department of Environmental Protection denied the plan to build a large development on the former Heritage Minerals site.

A 23-page report states that the applicant failed to meet the requirements of the Coastal Zone Management Rules, and thereby denied their CAFRA permit. This stands for Coastal Area Facilities Review Act, and it governs any building near bodies of water.

The developer, Hovsons, would be eligible for a hearing to state their case. Hovsons did not return a request for comment.

According to the letter, Hovsons was applying for 3,862 single family homes, apartments, and townhouses, 40,000 square feet of commercial space, a clubhouse, and recreation facilities. The development would be on about 1,008 acres, leaving 2,916 acres of the property largely undisturbed.

The DEP made a number of points opposing the development, including that the development plan did not address contamination already on site from mining operation; threatened and endangered wildlife may be affected; aquifer recharging might be impacted; it exceeds the allowed population density in the Pinelands; and that it would result in “significant and adverse” traffic.

“It appears the DEP has a number of similar concerns as Manchester Township,” Mayor Ken Palmer said. “While we did not agree with Hovsons proposal of approximately 4,000 units, we remain open to considering other plans that benefit our town. Certainly, the agreed-upon 2,200 senior homes which was approved by all interested parties almost two decades ago still looks like the best plan.”

The DEP, Hovsons, the Pinelands Commission, and Manchester Township had originally agreed to a settlement in 2004. This would have been for 2,200 homes, with a development of 995.4 acres, with 6,179.7 acres in the property to be preserved.

Environmental groups lauded the decision.

“The DEP stood up for the environment and did their job by rejecting this disastrous proposal and protected Manchester Township,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, in a press release.

“The project would have caused water pollution to over-pumping the aquifer to destruction of open space and air pollution,” he said. “The proposal would have basically built a new town with 10,000 people would have added more than 100,000 cars on the road.”

The Sierra Club also noted that the project would have been served by a system of sewer lines in the Pinelands that would have created two million gallons of sewage a day. Additionally, the site has 45 acres contaminated with concentrations of radioactive uranium and thorium, which would need to be addressed.

“These kinds of projects should have disappeared a long time ago. In 1998, Commissioner Shin turned down Hovsons’ proposal to build 800 units because the project did not meet environmental standards. Commissioner Campbell settled for 2450 units under McGreevey and the Christie Administration tried to push it through for 4,000 units,” he said.

“We are grateful to the Department of Environmental Protection for enforcing these critical natural resource protections, especially where the developer simply wants to disregard its own prior commitments,” said Carleton Montgomery, executive director of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.

“The bigger the development, the greater the harm to Barnegat Bay through contaminated runoff, to the aquifers through pumping for water supply, and to Pine Barrens habitats that are home to many rare and characteristic animals and plants. That’s why it is so important for the state to implement its environmental rules consistently, as it has done in this case,” stated Britta Wenzel, executive director of Save Barnegat Bay.

Local Pediatrician Suspended After Illegally Distributing Prescription Drugs

By Jennifer Peacock NEWARK – An Ocean Township pediatric gastroenterologist was suspended from practice indefi nitely after he was arrested in Toms River in July and charged with distributing a controlled dangerous substance.

Dr. Martin D. Fried, who operates Healthy Days LLC in Ocean, appeared in U.S. District Court Thursday to face new charges of attempting to distribute oxycodone, Adderall, and Xanax “outside the usual course of professional practice and not for a legitimate medical purpose,” New Jersey State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.

Those charges were filed by the U.S. Attorney Office in the District of New Jersey.

The doctor was arrested outside a Walgreens by Toms River Police on July 20, 2018. Two of his patients, to whom he allegedly prescribed medically unnecessary prescriptions, were also arrested.

Fried voluntarily surrendered his DEA registration on July 31, which allowed him to prescribe CDS. He also voluntarily

informed the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners that he ceased practicing medicine.

Fried has agreed to an indefi nite suspension of his medical license, pending a future demonstration of his fitness to practice, and further action by the Board, under the terms of a consent order.

Under that same order, Fried must participate in a professional assistance treatment program before he can be reinstated.

“We need doctors working with us, not against us, in the fight to end New Jersey’s opioid epidemic,” Grewal said. “As these actions demonstrate, we will continue to crack down on doctors who flout prescribing laws and fuel the opioid health crisis by indiscriminately dispensing pain medications that lead to addiction.”

Patients who believe that they have been treated by a licensed health care professional in an inappropriate manner can file an online complaint with the State Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting its website or by calling 800242-5846 or 973-504- 6200.

Exploring The Hook WARETOWN – We will focus on the wildlife and a little history that can be seen at Sandy Hook with this van tour. We will hopefully see a variety of ducks and sea birds but also, with any luck, some seals. Bring your binoculars, pack a lunch, dress for the weather (layers are

best as we will be in and out of the van) and be prepared for short walks on the sand.

Pick up is at the Parking Lot at Wells Mills County Park, Waretown on Jan. 11. Depart at 8 a.m.; return at 4 p.m. The cost is $14 per person for those 9 and up.

Cancer Walk Benefits Mary’s Place By The Sea

BRICK – On Sunday, October 14, the Women’s Club held its annual women’s cancer walk. What a success! Hundreds of pink bows on the mailbox! What a beautiful sight! Nearly 100 women, men, and children participated in the event. In addition to the walk, donations were received through the “pink bow” campaign.

For 16 years, the Women’s Club has sponsored a walk to raise money for various breast cancer organizations with the goal of supporting women fighting cancer. Since the club adopted this annual event, it has donated over $500,000.

This year, the proceeds from the cancer walk and sale of pink bows went to the nonprofit organization, Mary’s Place by the Sea, located in Ocean Grove, New Jersey.

On behalf of Mary’s Place by the Sea, Clare Freda thanked everyone for supporting Mary’s Place which is a beautiful ocean-side Victorian home with a serene and peaceful environment for women fighting cancer. Its staff is made up of mostly volunteers, and it is funded solely by donations of which 85 percent goes towards services which are no cost to its guests. For more information about this wonderful organization, visit its website at marysplacebythesea.org.

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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 du- Michael J. Deem ties 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.

Children’s Hospital To Be Evaluated, After Fatal Outbreak Elsewhere

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – A specialty hospital in Toms River will get a visit from the New Jersey Department of Health in November to ensure it has an adequate infection prevention control program in place.

Prompted by the deaths of nine children at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and

Rehabilitation in Haskell, New Jersey, the Department said it would be scheduling a visit with other children’s hospitals - including Children’s Specialized Hospital in Toms River and Mountainside - for inspections and training.

The Department released a final report on the Haskell facility. According to industry

standards set forth by the Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Haskell facility had deficiencies in its infection prevention, but overall did not deliver substandard care to its immunocompromised pediatric patients.

“Every year in the state, there are hundreds

of outbreaks at healthcare facilities,” New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal said. “Facility outbreaks are not always preventable, but best practices can be used to minimize the chance they occur among the most vulnerable patients in New Jersey,” The Department’s Division of Health Facility Survey and Field Operations found that infection control issues rank in the top three of deficiencies cited during healthcare facility inspections. CMS said infection control is a top deficiency for nursing homes and hospitals nationally.

Patients at Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation got sick from adenovirus. Eighteen children got sick, and 9 died. The virus usually causes minor illness in healthy children and adults, but can be deadly to immunocompromised persons.

CMS will implement new long-term care facility regulations by November 2019, which will require those facilities to have on-site an infection preventionist to oversee the infection prevention control program.

It was unclear if Children’s Specialized Hospital already has an infection preventionist on site. Its Toms River location is both a long-term care facility and outpatient center on Stevens Road.

The New Jersey Department of Health has, since October 2016, dedicated $102,915 to the education of 212 nursing homes staff in infection control through a partnership with New Jersey Hospital Association and the Northern & Southern NJ Chapters of Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology.

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 609978-0127 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.

Forked River Mountain Tract To Be Open Space

By Jennifer Peacock LACEY – The county will move to purchase an 8,000-acre tract often referred to as the site of the Forked River Mountains.

“This acquisition, recommended by the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee, is the largest tract and one of the most environmentally sensitive that we have purchased since the county’s open space program first began in 1997,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “By adding this to what we have already preserved, Ocean County will have saved almost 30,000 acres of open

space and farmland under its Natural Lands program.”

The tract, nestled between Lacey and Ocean townships and surrounded by public lands, was valued at $15.45 million. It fronts Lacey Road in that township and is accessible from old sand roads in both townships.

Ocean holds 1,602 acres and Lacey holds 6,258 acres.

The county will seek public funding partnerships with the Department of Defense and Green Acres.

The land will be purchased from John J. Brunetti of Old Bridge.

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.

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
