Town Talk

Flu Shot Clinic

Deputy Mayor Joe Przywara, who is also the Public Health Coordinator for the Ocean County Health Department, is pleased to announce that a Flu Shot Clinic will be held on January 16, Tuesday, from 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 Noon at the First Aid Building on Brynmore Road. Due to the production of flu vaccine by the pharmaceutical companies, availability of the vaccine was very limited in the Fall and additional supplies have now enabled the scheduling of this clinic. For further information, call our Deputy Municipal Clerk, Nancy Hendrickson, at 758-2241.

If you missed Plumsted Township's free rabies clinic for your cat or dog, the Ocean County Health Department also offers a free rabies clinic every Wednesday at the Ocean County Animal Facility in Jackson. Please call 732-657-8086 for an appointment. Plumsted residents may also attend a free rabies clinic on February 24th at the Jackson Township Public Works garage, on Route 528 Veterans Highway, between the hours of 1:30-3:00 PM.

Dog licenses must be purchased by January 31st. Anyone not renewing by mail, may purchase dog licenses from the Municipal Clerk's office at 2 Cedar Street. Dog licenses cannot be purchased without proof of rabies vaccination. A late fee of $5.00 will be enforced March 1st. Local dog license fees are deposited in a trust account to pay for the Animal Control Officer (Mary Kink 259-7501) services, the animal facility and rabies clinic.

Township Committeeman, Ken Francis, would like to thank the Road Department for the fine job they did in plowing the snow from the nearly 100 miles of roads in Plumsted.

Anyone interested in working part time as a clerk typist in our Construction Department should send or fax their resume / letter to the Township Administrator, Richard Kachmar (758-0123).

The first Wednesday of every month I will be at our Plumsted Branch of the Ocean County Library on Evergreen Road from 7 - 9 P.M. to meet residents and listen to their concerns. The next date is February 7^th .

Residents may communicate with me by e-mail at rondancer@ushwy1.com. I would like to know the concerns of our residents, their ideas and suggestions. If I cannot answer questions directly, I will have one of our department officials respond.
