By William Clanton SEASIDE PARK – Thousands of people came out to the beach in Seaside Park to break the Guinness Book of World Records entry for the largest amount of sand angels made at one time. Blue skies, warm air and a gentle breeze greeted the 1,609 attendees that gathered along the beach, all set out to break this record. The weather was perfect, clear and welcoming. Even a rainbow appeared overhead just before the opening ceremony. The past Guinness record holder, just three months ago, was

the city of Ludington, Mich., that successfully created 1,387 sand angels at the same time.

By Chris Lundy LACEY – School district officials are looking at the 2018-9 budget, while still negotiating the effects of a state aid cut for this year’s budget. School business adm i n ist rator Pat r ick DeGeorge gave a presentation during the most recent Board of Education meeting to bring the public and the board members up to date on the state of the budget. “At any one time, we are working in three budget years,” he said. The previous year is being audited, and the next year is being planned. The rising cost of health care is one of the larger issues, and it is usually a perennial one, he said.

A change in the state funding plan reallocated approximately $46 million of state aid throughout New Jersey this year. Generally, the money left districts with decreasing enrollment and moved toward districts with increasing enrollment. Lacey’s st ate aid dropped by $71,943, from $21,658,013 in aid to $21,586,070. They made up for the loss by taking money out of surplus . Every district has some surplus that rolls over from previous years to use for emergencies. Lacey had $1,046,442 at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. Toms River and Brick were hit much harder, facing a loss of $3.3 (Budget - See Page 5)

Junior teammate Matt Castronuova, a former Jackson Memorial star, returned one kickoff for 18 yards. The loss dropped the Flames to 3-4, overall, including 0-2 in the Big South. Monmouth is 1-3 all-time in Big South openers. The Hawks on Nov. 4 will entertain Presbyterian at 1 p.m. on ESPN3. 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.

Continued From Page 1 the five-year anniversary of Super Storm Sandy and help raise funds for the Ocean County Long Term Recovery Group and the Salvation Army. Ocean First Bank, in conjunction with New Jersey Natural Gas, NJ101.5, WOBM, local newspapers, the Causeway Family of Dealerships and more than 1,600 New Jersey residents gathered together to make history in Seaside Park and break a world record, all while raising more than $30,000. The money raised will support people and businesses still feeling the effects of Super Storm Sandy and the most recent hurricanes. “Still five years later, believe it or not, there are still a ton of people effected [by Super Storm Sandy],” said Alan Rosenzweig, of Masterpiece Advertising, on behalf of Ocean First. “One hundred percent of the money is going directly to the Ocean County Long Term Recovery Group as well as the Salvation Army.” Rosenzweig added that the small registration fee of just $5 turned this fun event into a great fundraiser. “As New Jersey’s leading community

The Southern Ocean Times, November 4 2017, Page 5 bank, Ocean First was proud to play a major role in helping our neighbors and local businesses get back on their feet following Super Storm Sandy in October of 2012,” said Christopher D. Maher, Chairman and CEO of Ocean First Bank. “Five years later, there are still people and businesses working to fully recover from the devastation caused by Sandy. We thought this would be a fun event and great way to pull the region together to help raise money for those affected by Superstorm Sandy and the recent hurricanes.” “When Super Storm Sandy hit New Jersey five years ago, we felt that it was really important for us to support the community as they recovered,” said Kathy Durante, executive director of the Ocean First Foundation. “The support that we have here from the community is tremendous.” The Ocean First Foundation is a community foundation that was founded in 1996 by the bank. The foundation supports local groups and organizations, nonprofits, and schools within their foot print. Of the groups supported, they must have interests like housing, education, health and wellness and supporting a better quality of life.

Lacey wasn’t as fortunate. Their complaints to Trenton did not get the same kind of traction, DeGeorge said. The aid is still down by $71,943. Hopefully, he said, the aid would be restored in next year’s budget, and that this cut doesn’t become their new aid figure.

C ORRECTION In the Gridiron Gossip story from October, Matt Castronuova was incorrectly referred to as Mike Castronuova. We regret the error.

Congressman MacArthur’s Statement On The Opioid Epidemic

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican Chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, Rep. Tom MacArthur released the following state-

ment after President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a public health emergency: The opioid epidemic is absolutely an emergency.

This crisis continues to take too many loved ones from families and destroy too many communities across our nation—at an alarming

rate. The Bipartisan Heroin Task Force I co-chair has been working to help our communities combat this epidemic. I believe the

President’s declaration is an important step in this fight, but there is still so much more that needs to be done. I’ll continue to work with

anyone in Congress and with the Administration in any way possible to help our country and individuals overcome this disease.

Freeholders Proclaim November Alzheimer’s Awareness Month

TOMS RIVER – In an effort to raise awareness that help is available for persons suffer ing with the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders has proclaimed November as Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness month. “Statistics show that there are 170,000 people aged 65 and older in New Jersey suffering from Alzheimer’s disease,” officials said. “It is vital that we raise awareness and educate residents on how to care for those who are diagnosed with the disease.” Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disease and the most common cause of dementia. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately five million people in the United States are living

with Alzheimer’s disease. While there is no current cure for Alzheimer’s, there are treatment for symptoms and continuing research. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, although current Alzheimer’s treatments cannot stop Alzheimer’s from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. Today, there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing Some simple steps that can be taken to potentially delay the onset of Alzheimer’s include getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, social interaction, quality sleep, mental stimulation such as learning a new lan-

guage or card games, and stress management. Furthermore, early detection can help in cases such as finding if the disease is caused by a reversible source, or if there are medicines to possibly slow down the symptoms. It is important to build a support system and be willing to ask for help when needed as well. It is also essential to make a treatment plan with your doctor, as well as a “family” plan to decide where you will live and with whom. Likewise, caregivers need to remember that there are services and support out there for them. The importance of caregivers cannot be overstated, and the need to support them in their caregiving is even greater. “Many of those suffering receive care from family members, friends, and other unpaid caregivers because

insurance does not provide the needed care.” officials said. “It is important that caregivers realize it is okay to ask for help,” Some steps that can help make a caregiver’s job less difficult include developing contingency plans for emergencies and obstacles. In addition, keeping insurance cards and medication lists accessible and updated can be of help in times of sudden trips to the hospital. The Ocean County Office of Senior Services offers assistance with things such as

Caregiver Resource packets, home delivered meals, day care and home-health aide assistance. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. The greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. But Alzheimer’s is not just a disease of old age. Approximately 200,000 Americans under the age of 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease (also known as early-onset Alz-

heimer’s). “It’s so important to educate and raise awareness that this disease can effect both young and old,” officials said. “In Ocean County, which is home to more than 170,000 seniors, we want to make sure our residents know resources are available to them. Not just during the month of November but every day.” For more infor mation on available resources in Ocean County, visit co. ocean.nj.us/OC/SeniorServices/ or call 732-929-2091.

JCP&L Scam Revisits Area

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office has received multiple reports of a phone scam again circulating around Ocean County. The caller states they are from JCP&L and tells the resident they are behind in payments, which will result in their power being shut off. They tell the resident to call 1-866-9969725, ext. 3500 and ask for Lucas. They also

provide a file number of 9073 that the resident can use to make payments with Rite Cards or Green cards for $500. They will not accept credit cards. The Prosecutor’s office is urging residents to hang up on these callers. More information about this scam and others can be found at First Energy’s website, bit. ly/2k7SFN1.

Manchester’s Queen Carolyn Is The Age Of Elegance

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – This year’s Ms. Senior America was just crowned after a 3-day pageant at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on October 19. Queen Carolyn Slade Harden, who lives in the Renaissance at Manchester, won the state crown at the Ms. New Jersey Senior America pageant this summer. Her modest reason for throwing her hat in the ring was to volunteer more and give back to her community. “I had no idea that I would actually win the national title as well,” she said. The “Age of Elegance” competition is designed for women who are 60 years of age or older. Harden shared her philosophy, gown, private interview and talent with the judges, singing “For Once In My Life,” to earn the title of queen. She has been singing since she was young,

having studied opera at Arts High School in Newark and landing starring roles in Madame Butterfly, Aida and Carmen. She also performed in gospel groups alongside Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston, and served as choir director at churches throughout the state. Although she will likely perform in other states as part of her Ms. Senior America duties, Harden said her role will also focus on recruitment. “We do have a platform – it’s primarily to inspire our peers and mentor the youth – it’s considered the Age of Elegance and letting our peers know that there’s more to life, don’t stop living, it’s never too late to pursue your dreams and to be active, and we still have a lot to give and we’re encouraging other women to do the same.” This year, 37 states participated in the Ms.

Senior America pageant out of 40 that were on the roster. Harden hopes to get the word out to additional states and encourage more women to become involved. She said there are many women out there doing good work in their communities, but who may not be getting recognized. She also hopes to link up with more youth, in particular to get more colleges and universities involved and to mentor students. This is something she already has some experience with through her Harden Institute for Financial Independence, or HIFI Club. She helps young people, some of them members of her own family, which is stretched across 36 states, learn the importance of money, plan for their future, and get fi nancially ready for college. “It will be a busy year,” she said, “A bigger crown and a lot more responsibility.”

Healthy Hearing With Folic Acid

In a world where the word “healthy” is tossed around like a salad, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by information about your well-being. To make things simpler for you, we’ve served up some easy-to-digest facts about diet and hearing health. Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss, which is the varying inability to perceive high-pitched sounds and consonants. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Folic acid is also useful in preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Older adults need 400 micrograms of folic

acid every day for good health. It is easy to increase your daily intake of the nutrient by eating more of foods like beans, citrus fruits, enriched grains, and dark leafy vegetables. To make it easier, in January 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring manufacturers to add folic acid to food that is labeled as “enriched.” Increasing your intake can be as simple as rolling out of bed and grabbing a quick breakfast. Just a cup of enriched breakfast cereal with one cup of 1 percent milk, plus three-quarters of a cup of OJ on the side, will put you at 32 percent of your daily requirement of folic acid in one meal. Talk about starting your day off right! Folic acid-rich foods like spinach, avocado, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe are hearing helpful foods.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

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.

By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – Almost 200 senior citizens living in Ocean County can breathe easier this fall thanks to a partnership between the Catholic Charities’ Fix It Program and the American Red Cross New Jersey Region, as the two groups plan to install over 300 smoke alarms at no cost to seniors. “Working smoke alarms reduce home fire deaths by 50%,” said Kristee Lauro, Disaster Program Manager of the American Red Cross New Jersey Region. “We are pleased to work with Catholic Charities as our partners with the Home Fire Campaign to help make New Jersey families safer.” Only 60 percent of the 190 homes benefiting from the campaign had a working smoke alarm, said Fix It Program Volunteer Supervisor John McCrone, adding, “The installations will significantly improve fi re safety for our clients, who are typically older than 70 and lack mobility.” The Fix It Program gets regular requests

from people who need help replacing their smoke alarm batteries. The alarms being provided by the American Red Cross use 10-year batteries, which will significantly reduce the amount of service calls for battery changes and allow Fix It volunteers to focus on other types of assistance. Since Fix Its’ partnership with the American Red Cross in May of last year, over 600 smoke alarms have been installed. One recent installation was somewhat unexpected. Fix It volunteer Fred Bahr visited the home of a woman who had recently fallen and broken her hip. She asked that a grab bar be installed, but when Fred checked her smoke alarms, he noticed the batteries had expired and decided to replace them too. “This is a routine practice of Fix It volunteers,” said McCrone. “Noticing her batteries had expired, he replaced the alarms with those from the American Red Cross. This couldn’t be a better story about how our two organizations are collaborating to serve those most in need.”

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.

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.

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.
