–Photo courtesy Howell Police Howell Police are searching for two suspects who stole more than $70,000 from cardholders in Howell, Manasquan and surrounding areas by using ATM skimming devices.
ATM:
Continued From Page 1 allowing customers to proceed with their transactions without knowing it is there. ATM skimmers also use pinhole cameras to watch customers enter their PINs, or false numerical pads placed over real ones that capture customers’ PINs as they type. Police need help identifying the two su spect s, who rented ca r s f rom a n agency in Brooklyn that have since been returned. One suspect has used the name Michele Toto and presented an Italian driver’s license to rent the car, which is most likely a fake ID. Officers were first notified of the theft and fraud on Sept. 11 after employees of Ma nasqu a n Ba n k on Route 9 i n Howell noticed the surveillance camera attached to the ATM was blurry. An investigation showed that the suspects used lip balm on the camera lens to distort the image, and then made multiple ATM withdrawals in quick succession. Detective Robert Ortenzi discovered that the same two suspects also made AT M w i t h d r a w a l s a t M a n a s q u a n Ban k on New ton’s Cor ner Road, as well as Manasquan Bank branches in Manasquan and Wall, and First Con-
stitution Bank in Fair Haven. Ortenzi began working with the Manasquan Police and the list of banks quickly grew, as he they discovered the suspects placed ATM skimmer devices at the Manasquan Bank branch in Manasquan on three separate incidents in September, capturing data from hundreds of customer accounts. Manasquan Bank employees eventually found the device on Sept. 21, removed it, and notified Manasquan Police. In Howell specifically, more than 100 fraudulent transactions were made by the two suspects from Sept. 9 to Oct. 1. Aside from the skimming device found in Manasquan, the majority of cardholders who had money fraudulently withdrawn were from other countries, such a s Ca na d a , New Zeala nd a nd Australia. A nyone who used the Manasquan Bank ATM at 185 East Main St. from Sept. 1 to 21 should notify their banks and take actions on their accounts to avoid fraud.

A charitable mood: The Ocean County College Athletics program launched a charitable initiative, a Halloween costume collection drive, with the goal of providing a fun fall holiday for the community’s less fortunate. The drive ran from Oct. 1-20 and collected new and gently used children’s costumes, masks, accessories and face makeup. The materials donated by the OCC community went to Jersey Cares, a local charitable organization that serves the state’s children’s shelters among many other endeavors. The initiative will likely become an annual tradition.

Freehold High School Chosen For DECA/AT&T College Project
MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Freehold High School DECA chapter was recently chosen as one of only five schools in the nation to participate in the DECA/AT&T College and Career Readiness Project Partnership. In the three years since the partnership was created, this is the first time that a New Jersey school was selected. As a result of the selection, a cohort of ap-
proximately 20 AT&T volunteers from the Middletown facility will be meeting monthly during the 2017-18 school year with 20-25 Freehold HS junior and senior DECA members. The monthly mentoring sessions will cover topics such as career matching and planning, interviewing skills for college and work, career profiles, professionalism (dress, communication, building a network), resume
builders, completing the college/scholarship application, writing a personal statement, life skills and financial literacy. Sessions will take place both at the school and AT&T work sites. A contribution from AT&T provides funding for transportation and lunch, when necessary. In addition, the partnership provides a oneyear license for Nepris (video conferencing on-demand for classroom speakers), and up
to $6,000, managed by DECA Inc., for DECA conference expenses for students. The first session occurred on October 24, at the high school, where DECA members met their mentors and enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Five Star Café, prepared by the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Magnet Program students. DECA participants were asked to spend a few minutes writing about what their goals and dreams were for the future. A discussion followed with their mentors, who helped the students brainstorm some ways that they could achieve their goals. In addition to the mentor volunteers, Jeffrey R. Victor, State Advisor & Executive Director of New Jersey DECA and Diane Pruner, DECA’s AT&T Project Manager attended the first session on Oct. 24, along with the FRHSD Supervisor of Business, Culinary, Family & Consumer Science, and Technology Education Cathy Boenig and Administrative Supervisor Stephanie Mechmann. The school’s DECA chapter, advised by marketing and accounting teacher Nicole Halpin, was reinstated five years ago with approximately 80 students. There are now over 200 students participating in the chapter. The chapter’s steady growth was one of the program’s requirements for selection. Students in the Freehold High School DECA chapter have competed in regional, state, and national competition each year since its reinstatement. Students are challenged by a 100-question test plus role-playing in various scenarios. The school’s chapter has won at all levels of competition and in 2016-17, a Freehold HS student took third place nationally.

Singer Will Help Lakewood Student-Athletes Get a Look at College Life at NCAA Basketball Game
LAKEWOOD – Senator Robert Singer (R-Ocean, Monmouth) is leading an effor t to i nfor m La ke wood athletes about the importance of balancing s t u d ie s a n d s p o r t s by taking them on a trip to see the Monmouth Universit y Hawk s t a ke on the Seton Hall Pirates in
a men’s basketball game next month. Singer helped arrange for 200 Lakewood High School st udent-athletes to attend an NCAA basketball game. “These kids have a passion for sports, and some might even want to continue playing after high
school,” Senator Singer said. “We wanted to give them a chance to get a taste of what it takes to succeed at t he h ig hest level of NCA A basketball.” T he 30 t h Dist r ict — along with help f rom former Seton Hall Board of Regents member Law-
rence Bathgate, General Counsel to the Lakewood Board of Education Michael In zelbuch, Lakewood Super i ntendent Laura Winters and Athlet ic Di re ct or Vi nce nt Curao — have arranged for approx i mat ely 20 0 Lakewood High School student-athletes to travel
to the Prudential Center, i n Newa r k , t o s e e t he Hawks face off against the Pirates on Nov. 12. In addition to taking in the basketball game, the Lakewood students will hear from a member of the Seton Hall Athletic D e p a r t m e nt a b ou t t h e importance of balancing
studies and athletics. “Sports can be important par t of a st udent’s life and their growth, but it’s important that they don’t forget about their school work,” Singer said. “This is going to be a great opportunity for these kids to learn how to strike that balance.”
New Jersey’s Candidates For Governor Support Hurricane Relief In Puerto Rico NEW JERSEY – In a rare move, the two leading gubernatorial candidates have come together to voice support of a statewide charity designed to raise funds for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico. “New Jersey for Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief” is sponsored and spearheaded by the Puerto Rican Congress of New Jersey and leaders of New Jersey’s half-million-strong Puerto Rican community to rally
behind friends and family on the island suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and former Ambassador Phil Murphy both urged New Jerseyans to support the relief fund. “The people of Puerto Rico face a long road ahead to return to normalcy, and they need our support,” Murphy said. “New Jerseyans coming together to do whatever is necessary and possible to help those in need shows the
very best of our state. Together, we can make a difference, and can help Puerto Rico and its people begin to rebuild not just their island, but their lives.” “This fund is just another example of what makes New Jersey great,” Guadagno added. “People from all parts of New Jersey, no matter their ethnic background or political slant, understand that this relief fund will be an enormous benefit to thousands of struggling Americans who
live in the commonwealth.” The relief fund, a non-profit, charitable entity with a 501c3 pending, is a one-stop source for people to donate directly to island-based charities. The fund is transparent and focused on delivering immediate, targeted aid. Fund organizers say cash donations are encouraged, as opposed to in-kind donations that require sorting, boxing and logistical expense. Cash donations allow reputable organizations, such as the
New Jersey for Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief, to strategically support professional disaster relief agencies. The coalition has partnered with the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico and others to get immediate aid to the people of Puerto Rico. The coalition has been working closely with commonwealth leaders; its honorary chair is former Puerto Rico Senate President Kenneth McClintock.
Freeholder’s Healthy Eating Initiative Grows Roots This Fall
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone I would like to wish everyone a happy fall season – now that it’s beginning to finally feel a little cooler outside. As I always like to remind people, Monmouth County is a great place to live and visit throughout the entire year. Now is the time to check out what our local farms have to offer, including pumpkin picking, corn mazes and pickyour-own, just to name a few activities. To learn about all our farms have to offer and where they are located, visit growninmonmouth.com. The fall season is also a special time of the year for me. Every year, I serve on a committee that hosts the annual Pound the Pavement
for Purple 5k and 2-mile run in October. The race is held in cooperation with the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and Neptune Township. Funds raised from this great event every year go right toward pancreatic cancer research through the Lustgarten Foundation. This year, Pound the Pavement for Purple was held on Saturday, October 7 at the Headliner in Neptune with more than 180 runners and 220 walkers. I am beyond proud to announce that with the help from our great sponsors and participants, we were able to raise more than $30,000. I would like to thank the
Pound the Pavement for Purple committee. This event would not be the success that it has been for the last four year without their hard work and commitment. I know they are already looking forward to next year’s race! On a separate note, I am also proud to announce the start of my Healthy Eating initiative, which aims to promote healthy eating and living among our youth. It is my goal to show students the importance of eating local and eating healthy through educational programs. I chose the Colts Neck and Asbury Park school districts to participate in the first year of this initiative, with about 15 students from both districts participating this year. As part of the program, they will take several trips to Allaire Community Farm in Wall Township. There, they will learn the process behind growing different types of fruits and vegetables and why it is important to incorporate them
into our daily diets. The students will also be creating their own gardens at their respective schools.
I look forward to helping this program grow and incorporate more school districts in the future. Stay tuned!
Coalition leaders hope the nascent effort will become a growing list of state officials, legislators, businesses, faithbased leaders and charities who can assist Puerto Rico in the difficult months and years to come. To learn more about the relief fund, as well as the board members involved, please visit nj4pr.org. Donations are now being accepted through the site. Supporters can also call 1-833-NJ-HELPS.
As always, it is an honor to serve the great residents of Monmouth County. It’s the best place to live, work and play!

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How Watercress Slows Down Cancer Growth
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so today I’d like to share with you some little-known facts about one vegetable and its impact on breast health. It’s watercress and even though most doctors will argue that the more chemotherapeutic drugs (anti-cancer drugs), the better, I still feel strongly that we can make dietary changes that improve outcomes, whether or not you take chemo. They may poo-poo this thinking, but I still feel that eating specific foods can have a positive impact on your outcomes. Research is clear and shows that a great deal of people give up on chemotherapy and fail to adhere to conventional medical treatments. Many stop altogether or they begin to integrate various holistic remedies and dietary changes, which makes me think of watercress. Watercress belongs to the cruciferous vegetables, same as broccoli and cauliflower, but it’s not as popular as those. Still, I want to give it some love and attention today because it has some powerful tumor-fighting compounds in it. Plus, we already know from empirical evidence that 30 to 40 percent of all cancers somehow benefit or respond from proper nutrition. Researchers have investigated how watercress can be beneficial in breast cancer and other cancers. In a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition a group of breast cancer survivors went through a phase of fasting, before consuming a bowlful of watercress about the size of a cereal bowl (approximately 80 grams of watercress).
They took some blood samples from the women, at intervals over the next 24 hours. Their blood evaluations found rather significant levels of a plant compound called phenylethyl isothiocyanate, or PEITC for short. This PEITC starves the cancer cells. This PEITC inhibits a protein called HIF (Hypoxia Inducible Factor) which is responsible for signaling normal tissue around the tumor to send oxygen and nutrients to the tumor cells. HIF is not playing nice, it’s making your own cells boost cancer growth. Am I saying watercress cures cancer? Of course not, but eating certain foods like watercress can’t hurt you, it can only help you, and more than anything, it puts you in a pro-active position which is empowering. Let’s face it, hearing the word “cancer” is heart-stopping. Having something you can do that is so simple is crucial. The researchers in the study actually validated the effects of the watercress compound PEITC, they weren’t guessing. They physically measured blood levels of that HIF in their bloodstream and saw it declining progressively after eating watercress. That is just so amazing! Another study back in 2004, evaluated how PEITC impacts the speed at which cancer cells grow (termed proliferation) and tumorigenesis (the formation of tumors). The scientists were able to confirm that watercress inhibits cancer cell growth and not only that it makes cancer cells commit suicide, a process called apoptosis. It means the party is over for the cancer cells.

Inside The Law I’ve Been Involved In A Motor Vehicle Accident… Do I Need An Attorney?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
We all know that accidents happen. However, people often question whether they need the assistance of counsel as a result. The safe answer is to always consult with an attorney to be certain that your rights are best protected. If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may have the ability to file suit against the person or persons at fault. This, however, is dependent on several factors. First, and most importantly, you should concentrate on receiving necessary medical treatment. This may mean a trip to the hospital or your primary care physician to determine whether further care is necessary. The next topic to be considered is whether you will need legal assistance. Being involved in an accident can be very stressful, as well as painful for those involved. To ease the stress, seeking a competent attorney to stand by you is a smart decision. It is important to do this early, in the event that further investigation is necessary. Often attorneys will send an investigator to the scene to photograph the surrounding area and report any inconsistencies that may exist with the police report. Furthermore, when you are injured in New Jersey, your medical benefits are paid through your own personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. This is part of your car insurance and can be identified through review of your policy. However, most PIP insurance requires pre-certification for any treatment afforded. Physician’s offices are equipped to request pre-certification, but as we all know, situations such as these may not always go smoothly for the injured party. An attorney, once retained, can assist you with any difficulty you may have with receiving necessary
treatment. When seeking the advice of counsel it is important to bring all documents with you that involve your accident. This includes the accident report (if available), any medical documentation, as well as the declaration page regarding your car insurance in place at the time of the accident. This will help the attorney to advise you as the benefits that can be afforded to you, as well as whether you will be permitted to file suit for any compensatory damages as a result of the accident. When involved in an accident, there is no charge to you to seek the advice of counsel. This type of matter is handled on a contingency basis. That means that the attorney is only awarded a fee, should you recover a financial benefit as a result of the representation. In the event that you are at fault, or receive a citation as a result of the accident, the role of the attorney does change. In fact, if someone is injured as a result of your negligence in operation your motor vehicle, generally your insurance will provide a legal defense for the personal injury action on your behalf. However, if a summons is issued, it is beneficial to you to seek the advice of counsel, as this will not be defended by your carrier. Contrary to a personal injury case, this is generally not handled on a contingent basis. As you can see, there are many reasons to seek the advice of counsel after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. The best action to take is to consult with an attorney and discuss the options and benefits that you may have.

Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus Hosts Flavors Of The Jersey Shore LAKEWOOD – Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus hosted more than 300 people at their annual Flavors of the Jersey Shore Food and Wine Tasting event on Oct. 19 at the Pine Belt Chevrolet Showroom in Lakewood. This event serves as a fundraising opportunity for cancer services at MMCSC and highlights Breast Cancer Awareness month. Food, wine, and spirits were available from over 35 vendors including Avenue Restaurant, Charlies of Bay Head, Har-
poon Willy’s, Porta, Prime 13, and Yussi’s Deli and back by popular demand this year was the Vodka Lounge that served samplings from Tito’s and Broken Shed Vodka. Throughout the night, guests tried their luck on a 50/50 raffle, silent auction and wine jail while listening to tunes from the Mike Dalton Band. The 50/50 winner was a Cancer Support Community volunteer who won over $4,000 while the silent auction winners went home with jewelry, Broadway show
tickets, restaurant gift cards and more. In addition, the wine jail held 50 bottles of wine hostage until they were freed with a $20 donation. Guests chose a bottle at random by placing their name on it and at the end of the night they uncovered which bottle they were bringing home. While some bottles were only worth $15, there were several worth more than $200 including a $328 bottle of 1986 Chateau Angelus. “This is one of my favorite events of the
year,” said Denice Gaffney, Vice President of Development, Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus Foundation. “Our guests are really able to have fun, relax, and enjoy each other’s company all while supporting a great cause. There is an imperative need to support cancer services in our community and I think this event gives our community members that opportunity.” For more information on upcoming events, call the Foundation at 732-886-4438.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of november 4 - november 10
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Freedom, or so the song goes, is just another word for nothing left to lose. Your expression of outgoing friendliness in the week ahead might invite criticism. Focus on hard work and get a crucial project completed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put your shoulder to the plow. You can make progress with anything that requires physical exertion or a sustained effort in the week ahead. Put romantic fantasies on the back burner and avoid making new commitments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone could be serious when you are being frivolous. You risk causing offense unless you take each and every regulation and rule to heart. Don’t send out resumes or apply for a promotion in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may wrestle with words and meanings. A tendency to put your foot in your mouth or to misinterpret what someone else says can cause misunderstandings. Avoid disputes by being super sincere in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might be in the mood for love, but love might not be in the mood for you. It is possible you are preoccupied by romantic fantasies or get-rich-schemes. This is not a good week to put your farfetched ideas into action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A passion for perfection is only matched by an obsession with accomplishment. Due to your singlemindedness you may underestimate the impact of misunderstandings this week. Treat loved ones with care.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week to come you may be challenged by relationship dynamics in the workplace. If friends trust you then an apology won’t be necessary if you accidently cross the line, but it would be prudent to make amends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid the crossfire. Steer clear of disagreements in the week ahead. You can only promise to complete only what is feasible. You are cognizant of your limits even if tempted to show off a bit too much in public. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Hold off on making major decisions or changes in the week ahead. Family matters could put your teeth on edge, but if you are understanding, patient and do your duty everything will turn out just fine in the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mind your p’s and q’s as well as any other alphabet letters that come to mind. Bite your tongue rather than offering criticism or disapproval this week. You are smart enough to make an appropriate apology when needed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Hold that thought. Someone may try to rush you into making a decision or a purchase but it is in your best interests to wait. Keep your money safe and avoid making major financial commitments in the week to come. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be lulled into a state of complacency as this week unfolds. You may have high ideals but could inadvertently clash with others. Guard your reputation fiercely and don’t act without careful forethought.

Master Gardener Applicants Sought FREEHOLD – If you are looking to turn over a new leaf in the New Year, you may want to consider becoming a certified Master Gardener in 2018. The Monmouth County Master Gardener Program is the way for you to become a certified expert in all things related to home gardening. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, January 2. “As a Master Gardener trainee you can get in-depth, hands-on training in horticulture from the best in the field – Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service professional staff and their associates at Brookdale Community College and the County Park System,” Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry said. “The program includes plant biology, propagation, soil science and pest control.” After completing your classroom and hands-on training, as a Master Gardener graduate you can share your knowledge by conducting garden lectures, demonstrations, school and community gardening projects, telephone diagnostic service for callers and research. To enroll in this Master Gardener program, you must live in Monmouth County, be available to attend 10 weeks of classes and make a commitment to providing gardening information and services to the community.
Classroom sessions will be held from February through May on Tuesday and Thursday mornings beginning Feb. 22. At the conclusion of the classes, all Master Gardener trainees give 60 hours of volunteer time in horticultural projects and answering calls on the County’s “horticulture helpline.” Those who complete the training become certified Master Gardeners. The application can be downloaded from the County’s website at visitmonmouth. com. Be sure to click on the Department link to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service. You can also pick up a copy at the Cooperative Extension Service office at 4000 Kozloski Road or call 732-431-7260 to request an application be mailed to you. There is a $250 fee to cover material and program costs. The Master Gardener Program, conducted throughout the United States and Canada, is a two-part educational effort in which avid gardeners are provided many hours of intense home horticulture training. In return, they “pay-back” local university extension agents through volunteerism. In Monmouth County, the program is sponsored by Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service in cooperation with the Monmouth County Chosen Board of Chosen Freeholders and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
wolfgang puck’s kitchen Finding Fault With Fennel Isn’t An Option When You Taste This Delicious Dish By Wolfgang Puck
I am often fascinated by the kinds of foods and flavors that some people may love while others refuse to eat them. We call such ingredients “acquired tastes,” because those who love them optimistically believe that, prepared properly and served under the right circumstances, anyone can develop a craving for them. Not every taste, of course, can be acquired that way. I doubt, for example, that repeated exposure probably won’t win many converts to certain exceedingly smelly foods along the lines of Limburger cheese from northwestern Germany, or the Southeast Asian fruit called durian, which has an odor politely compared to dirty socks. Other acquired tastes, however, are not only far less assertive but also pleasant and can easily win over converts simply through the right kind of introduction. Take fennel bulb, for example, which is at its peak of season right now and can be found in farmers’ market stalls and well-stock supermarkets alike. Also known as Florence fennel or by the Italian finocchio, this vegetable is actually a member of the carrot family. But, rather than being slender and usually orange, white and pale-green fennel roots are bulbous, almost heart-shaped, and they’re distinguished by a flavor most people consider very similar to licorice. And that’s where the challenge comes in. Most people think of licorice as a flavor for candy, and even that candy itself is an acquired taste. So why would you want to eat it as part of a savory preparation? The answer is that, when properly cooked, fennel develops a satisfying, deeply savory sweetness as appealing as that of caramelized onions. And its sweet perfume, also found in another variety of fennel prized as an herb for its feathery green fronds, also found on fennel bulb, makes a wonderfully bright seasoning for certain light and savory ingredients like seafood or chicken. For proof of that fact, I’d like to share one of my longtime favorite recipes for an impressive yet simple main course: roast rock cod with fennel and beurre blanc. Though it starts with a whole fresh fish (which you should ask your seafood shop or supermarket department to clean and scale for you), it’s surprisingly easy to prepare, and cooks in just around half an hour. But that’s enough time for the two fennel bulbs in the recipe to give the mild-tasting fish a wonderful aroma and flavor, while also forming a delicious vegetable side along with the potatoes, onions and tomatoes combined with it in the roasting pan. The result is a dish that will have everyone you serve it to asking, “What is that beautiful, delicate flavor?” And you’ll have succeeded in gaining new fans for the easily acquired taste of fennel. ROAST ROCK COD WITH FENNEL AND BEURRE BLANC Serves 4 to 6 1 whole rock cod, about 1 1/2 feet (46 cm) long, cleaned and scaled, or similarly sized whole fish such as snapper or black bass Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 5 medium fennel branches
2 fennel bulbs, trimmed and cut lengthwise into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick, plus 1/2 fennel bulb, trimmed and finely chopped 4 fingerling potatoes, cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 2 medium yellow onions, cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 4 medium-sized tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges Pinch crushed red pepper flakes Extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) dry white wine or water 3 shallots, finely chopped 2 tablespoons Pernod or anisette 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature 1/2 lemon, juiced 2 lemons, cut into halves or wedges, for garnish Fresh Italian parsley sprigs Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). With a sharp knife, cut an incision 1-inch (2.5-cm) deep all along the length of the fish on both sides of the backbone. Perpendicular to those incisions, cut incisions 1/2-inch (12-mm) deep into the flesh at 1-inch (2.5-cm) intervals. Season the fish all over, including the incisions and cavity, with salt and pepper. Put 4 fennel branches in the body cavity. Spread 2 of the sliced fennel bulbs, plus the potatoes, onions and tomatoes, on a rimmed metal baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Place the fish on top, body cavity down and backbone up, and drizzle generously with more olive oil. Pour half of the wine or water over the fish and vegetables. Place the baking sheet on top of the stove over two burners set to medium-high heat. As soon as the liquid in the baking sheet starts to steam, carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Roast the fish, basting it occasionally with the juices from the pan, until its flesh easily separates from the bone when an incision is probed with the side of the basting spoon, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shallots and chopped fennel bulb, and saute, stirring frequently, until translucent but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Carefully add the Pernod, which may flare up as its alcohol burns, and then pour in the remaining white wine or water and stir. Scrape to deglaze the pan deposits. Simmer briskly until the liquid has reduced to about 1/4 cup (60 mL), about 10 minutes. Whisking continuously, add the butter to the pan 1 or 2 pieces at a time until it melts, forming a thick, creamy sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the lemon juice. Pour the sauce through a fine strainer held over another saucepan, and press down on the solids with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. Finely chop the fronds of the remaining fennel branch, stir all but 1 tablespoon into the sauce, and adjust the seasonings to taste. Keep warm over low heat. Use a pair of large spatulas to transfer the fish to a serving platter. Arrange the roasted vegetables around the fish and drizzle with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of the sauce. Garnish with lemons and parsley, drizzle the fish with a little more olive oil, and serve, passing the sauce separately.
