By Bob Vosseller OCEA N COU N T Y – County officials, veterans, histor ians and residents all gathered for a unique ceremony on Veterans Day which observed the Armistice Day centennial of World War I. Throughout the year, various programs were held to note the centennial and the war’s impact on Ocean County 100 years ago. The Ocean Cou nt y Board of Chosen Freeholders hosted the event marking the Armistice Day Centenary on Nov. 11.

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.

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.

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.

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

Moore sported the sneakers during the team’s 27-0-1 Central Atlantic Athletic Conference regular-season streak. And he plans to continue to wear the sneaks until the end of the streak.

“If it gives the team a boost ... whatever works,” said Moore, whose program won its fourth straight CACC regular-season title and fifth overall this year. “The left sole is almost completely ripped off. I have kind of worn them out. My wife (Kate) won’t let me wear them in any other place than the field. I don’t want to mess with the mojo right now. If our players catch me coaching a conference game without those sneakers on, I think they will call me out on it.”

It was another banner regular season for the Lions of NCAA Division II. They were 12-3-1 overall. And they captured the crown at 11-0-1.

“The thing that made this year’s title unique was we lost five seniors to graduation from last year’s team,” Moore said. “A lot of our opponents felt there would be a drop in our level of play this year. Because we lost those players, people felt we would take a step back. The girls accepted the challenge to continue the success that our program has had. It was real satisfying to get to the finish line with a title when we were doubted by many of the opponents we faced.”

A key reason for the Lions’ success was the play of freshman Krystal Hund, a forward out of Toms River High School North.

Hund earned All-CACC Rookie of the Year and first-team honors after scoring 13 goals

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.

and adding nine assists for 35 points during the regular season. She led the CACC in assists during the regular season.

“She is a dynamic player,” Moore said.

“She is an extremely creative player with the ball and she is very quick. She has a very high skill level.”

Moore said Hund missed her senior season with the Mariners because of a knee injury.

“She is playing at the same level when she was a junior when she was one of the top goal scorers in the state,” he said. “Her ability to take on players one-on-one is excellent. She gets in front of the net to score and is real accurate inside the box when she is able to get her shot off. She has added the ability to pass the ball. She is not just scoring the ball. She’s also setting up her teammates, which has made our offense diverse.”

Hund does not lack for company on the field.

“A lot of teams played her one-on-one at the beginning of the year, but that has changed now,” Moore said. “She faces more double teams and defenses are shading to her side as coaches have seen her play in person and on film. They now know she will win in one-on-one situations more often than not. Coaches send defenders over to her to get the ball off her foot and that has opened opportunities for our other players. We have been able to handle that very well.”

Moore said Hund chose Georgian Court over several other schools.

“A number of Division I schools, including Stony Brook, Elon and Charleston Southern, looked at her,” he said. “She was real comfortable with our program and myself. She wanted to have her family (Soccer - See Page 9)

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.

Continued From Page 4 watch her play and she wanted to get a great education.”

Moore and Hund are far from strangers.

“I have known her for many years, seeing her play at the youth level,” he said. “I saw her potential and how it would translate at the college level. I am always looking for creative forwards who can score the ball.

I felt she would be a perfect fit for our system of play. Fortunately, she has lived up to each of my expectations.”

Junior central midfielder Anissia Fucci, a Manchester product, made the AllCACC fi rst team for the second straight season after netting eight goals and handing out three assists during the 2018 regular season. She led the Lions in match-winning goals with five, including one in an overtime conquest of visiting Holy Family University that gave the Lions their latest CACC regular-season title.

“She has just an unbelievable work rate,” Moore said. “She did not receive a lot of recognition during her youth and high school days, but I felt she was another player who I felt worked to make her game successful at the college level. She is an excellent two-way player. She gets forward and scores goals and works her way back and defends as well as anyone in our conference.”

Earning All-CACC second-team honors was former North player Nicole Turelli, a freshman defensive midfielder who handed out two regular-season assists.

“Nicole is one of my favorites,” Moore said.

“In high school, she did not get much playing time, but I knew her from the youth level. I saw great potential in her. I knew she would thrive in our system. She has worked so hard to get into great shape. She has turned herself into an excellent college player.”

Other contributors to the Lions’ regular-season success were junior midfielder Kaitlin Lister (Toms River East), junior defender Kristen Lister (East), junior forward Dana Fontana (Brick Memorial), freshman midfielder-forward Emma Carney (Brick Memorial) junior midfielder-forward Samantha Wiles (Freehold Boro), freshman defender Melissa Fontana (Brick Memorial), sophomore midfielder Nora Stapleton (Monsignor Donovan, now known as Donovan Catholic), senior midfielder-forward Shannon Kelly (Point Pleasant Boro), sophomore center back Erin Wimmer (Sayreville War Memorial), senior captain Carolyn Stanton (Communications High School of Wall Township), junior keeper Natalie Axelsson (Absegami) and senior forward Heather Arbachesky (Brookdale Community College, Wall).

Kaitlin Lister put home five goals and added seven assists for 17 regular-season points.

“Kaitlin is the best outside midfielder in our conference,” Moore said. “She is one of the best at her position in the country.

She has had another fantastic season. She has the ability to create opportunities for the rest of our offense. Her serves are spoton perfect. She has a great combination of speed and leg strength. She has excellent

The Toms River Times, November 17, 2018, Page 9 vision as a distributor and is a dangerous player any time she steps on the field.”

Kristen Lister fi nished the regular season with two assists.

“She does not get a lot of numbers, but she has been a real solid defender at left back,” Moore said. “I am real proud of how far she has come as a player.”

Arbachesky was named the CACC Player of the Year. She was a first-team All-CACC selection after scoring 13 goals and handing out seven assists for 33 points. She won four regular-season matches with goals. She played two seasons at Brookdale before joining the Lions.

Arbachesky provided early regular-season inspiration for the Lions.

“Our slogan is, ‘Let’s go. It’s time to go to work,’” said Moore, assisted by former Manchester and GCU player Jessica Constantine. “Heather made it up. It was born early in September. Our team was a little tired and dragging and she said it with energy. Everyone laughed at it at fi rst and then a couple of girls began repeating it. We say those words on a daily basis.”

Axelsson, an All-CACC fi rst-teamer, was named the conference’s Goalkeeper of the Year after allowing 1.20 goals per game during the regular season.

Success is nothing new for the Lions.

Under Moore, they put up a 168-47-15 record in CACC play through the 2018 regular season. They enjoyed 13 consecutive winning seasons and made 13 straight trips to the CACC Tournament through the 2017 campaign. Entering this season, the Lions won three CACC tournaments.

Entering this season, Moore has produced 32 All-CACC players, 13 Division II Conference Commissioners Association players, nine National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-East Region players and six CCA All-Americans. Moore was named the CACC Coach of the Year in 2006, 2015 and 2017.

“It’s all about bringing home the hardware,” Moore said. “That statistics stuff is nice to talk about, but it’s about bringing home the hardware. It’s wonderful to watch this growth in the program. As good as we are this year, I feel we will be infinitely better next year as we have so many young players who are emerging.

Our goal in the next couple of years is to qualify for the Sweet Sixteen (in the NCAA Division II Tournament) or the Elite Eight. We are very close to achieving those goals.”

Moore said he recruits players who play with plenty of fire.

“I look for players who have a desire,” the senior staff member and the director of goalkeeping at the Toms River Football Club said. “Do they have a desire to excel at the college level? I recruit players who are often overlooked. They did not get the recognition they felt they deserved at the younger levels of the game. They play with a chip on their shoulder. They have talent, but I look for what will set them apart from the other players. I want them to want to succeed. I want them to excel to reach higher levels of greatness. We want players who are willing to put in the work.”

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.

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

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

It’s More Than An Annoyance – It’s Misophonia

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.

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

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.

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.

Fire Prevention Week 2018

TOMS RIVER – Today’s home fires burn faster than ever. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds.

Knowing how to use that time wisely takes planning and practice.

The Toms River Township Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) -- the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Wee for more than 90 years -- to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere,” which works to educate the public about basic but essential ways to quickly and safely escape a home fire.

NFPA statistics show that the number of U.S. home fires has been steadily declining over the past few decades. However, the death rate per 1000 home fires that are reported to fire departments was 10 percent higher in 2016 than in 1980.

“These numbers show that while we’ve made significant progress in teaching people how to prevent fires from happening, there’s still much more work to do in terms of educating the public about how to protect themselves in the event of one,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA’s vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “This is particularly critical given the increased speed at which today’s home fires grow and spread.”

Carli also notes that although people feel safest in their home, it is also the place people are at greatest risk to fire, with four out of five U.S. fire deaths occurring at home. That over-confidence contributes to complacency toward home escape planning and practice.

“Working in the fire service for many years, we know that people often make choices in fire situations that jeopardize their safety or even cost

them their lives,” said District Chief Jim Golden of the Toms River Township Fire Department.

“We need to do a better job of teaching people about the potentially life-saving difference escape planning and practice can make and motivating them to action.”

“Look. Listen. Learn” campaign highlights three steps people can take to help quickly and safely escape a fire: Look for places fire could start.

Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm.

Learn 2 ways out of every room.

While NFPA and the Toms River Township Fire Department are focusing on home fires, these fire safety messages apply to virtually anywhere.

Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go. No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately.

The Toms River Township Fire Department is hosting a series of events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Look.

Listen. Learn,” including a recruitment drive for members as we are volunteer fire department.

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.

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.
