Miami-Dade Dog Park Advisory: Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex April 8, 2022 Share Miami-Dade County Animal Services urges pet owners to protect their dogs against Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex. Due to a recent increase of this disease, there have been many cases of CIRDC reported throughout South Florida. Animal Services urges dog owners to help protect their pets from the spread of the virus by visiting their veterinarian, keeping their dogs current on routine vaccines, avoiding dog parks and other settings with multiple dogs. The virus is highly contagious and can pose serious health risks to dogs. The disease can spread rapidly among dogs that are housed together or those in close proximity to each other such as in kennels, dog parks or grooming facilities. CIRDC is spread by direct contact with an infected dog and by contact with people who have been exposed to the virus. The virus can be carried on people’s clothing, hands and on items such as: food/water bowls, collars/leashes, toys, bedding, etc. • Coughing dogs produce virus-containing mists that can travel 20 feet or more. • Symptoms include: coughing, sneezing and discharge from the nose and/or eyes. CIRDC Treatment: • Individuals who think their dog may be showing signs of CIRDC should contact their private veterinarian immediately. • The virus is easily killed by most disinfectants, handwashing with soap and water, normal laundering of clothing and bedding, washing food/water bowls and toys with soap and water. Adopters & Foster Parents Needed: Animal Services is in need of more adopters and foster families to help take the healthy adoptable dogs out of the shelter and keep them safe from being infected. These dogs should be quarantined from other dogs for at least two weeks as a precautionary measure. For more information, visit: animals.miamidade.gov. Or call: 311. About Miami-Dade County Animal Services Every year the Miami-Dade County Animal Services Department (Animal Services) provides care and refuge for 28,000 to 30,000 lost and abandoned dogs and cats.

Keller's Korner - Jedd Fisch By Neil Keller Nov 20, 2025 Welcome To Keller’s Korner. This Article Will Cover The Football Head Coach For The University Of Washington, Jedd Fisch. He Was Born On May 5, 1976, In Livingston, New Jersey, Is One Of The Rare Jewish Head Coaches In Major College Football. Among The 136 Teams In The FBS, Jedd And Ryan Silverfield Of Memphis Are The Only Two Jewish Head Coaches, A Fact That Highlights Both His Personal Achievement And The Small But Meaningful Presence Of Jewish Leadership In The Sport. Jedd grew up in Livingston, where he did not play high school football but excelled in Tennis at Hanover Park High School, earning all‑State honors. His father, Jeffrey, who played Rennis in college, was a major influence. When I was covering the Maryland vs. Washington football game in October 2025, Jedd told me he still plays Tennis today. Jedd credits his parents, Jeffrey and Deby, as they both emphasized education and athletics. After his parents divorced, his mother remarried high school football coach Bill Rocca and being around that football program sparked Jedd’s interest in coaching while he was still in high school. Jedd added, “When I was a little kid I watched films all day long with Bill. It was cool being a ball boy for all the games when I was just eight years old and up. I really learned the love of the game.” Jedd also had a shout out for the University of Washington men’s and women’s Tennis teams for hitting balls with him at 7:00 a.m. as it helps him mentally to be on the court. He told his father of his dream and Jeffrey suggested he go to the best school possible to help him become a football coach. Jedd chose the University of Florida in Gainesville because he admired Coach Steve Spurrier and wanted to be in the best environment to learn how to coach. He volunteered on the Gators’ staff starting as a sophomore, roomed with future Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, and graduated from Florida in 1998. He immediately continued in coaching for the Gators while earning a Master’s Degree in Sports Management, reflecting his parents’ emphasis on education. By 2002, at just 26, Jedd moved to the National Football League (NFL) as a defensive quality control coach with the Houston Texans. Over the next few years he accumulated experience with several NFL franchises, including the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, and New England Patriots, while also holding college positions at Michigan and UCLA. In 2017 he served as interim head coach for UCLA and guided the Bruins to a bowl game. In 2018, Jedd was on the Rams’ staff for Super Bowl LIII, a game notable for the Patriots’ Jewish wide receiver Julian Edelman earning MVP honors. Jedd’s first major head‑coaching role came in 2021 at Arizona in Tucson, where he led the Wildcats for three seasons; his final season there saw Arizona nationally ranked and playing in a bowl. In 2024 he accepted the head coach position at the University of Washington in Seattle, stepping into the Big Ten’s elevated competition. In his first season with the Huskies, he led Washington to the Sun Bowl, and this season the Huskies are rolling again. Jedd engineered a second‑half comeback against Maryland - a bittersweet loss for me as a Terps alumnus, but one I quickly congratulated him on the field after the game. Washington’s Director of Football Operations, Deborah Goldstein, is also Jewish and hails from southern California. Deborah has been with UW football for 16 seasons and added, “This is my fifth head coach I have worked for at Washington, and it has been great,” In a post‑game conference I could see why his players love him as Jedd expresses such enthusiasm. I asked Jedd whether he had encountered anti‑Semitism in football; he answered, “no.” I left the game at College Park, Maryland very impressed by Jedd, Deborah and the entire Huskies’ program and wished them continued success.
