Size Of July 4 Fireworks Depends On You
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – Everyone knows that one of the best fireworks shows around is over the Toms River. But few people realize that it’s actually put on by the little borough of Beachwood. The fireworks are run by the town, but not paid for by taxpayer dollars. It is funded entirely by donations, and donations are not as strong as they used to be, said Councilwoman Beverly Clayton, who chairs the event. The show is in its 78th year, so people are used to it being a mainstay. However, donations are down this year, and they were

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Although they are solo sports, there is a lot of camaraderie. Berkeley hosted an Action Sports Competition at Veterans Park, where athletes of all ages and skill levels showed their stuff on scooters and BMX bikes. The competition was named after Jonmarco Gaydos, a premiere scooter rider from nearby Brick. Parents lined up around the outskirts of the town’s skate park, which had been designed with input from local pros. You wouldn’t see the typical “soccer parent” ripping on the opposing team and cursing. Instead, you would see parents and friends applauding their kid…or someone else’s. “Everyone’s cheering everyone else on – even the competitors,” said Councilman Angelo Guadagno, who oversaw the event. That’s what set this apart from (Sports - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 of the journey that a person goes through after being diagnosed, going through a dark time, and then dawning into the light of hope, said Barry Bendar, who was one of the speakers at the opening ceremony. As of press time, the amount raised was more than $58,000. The top fundraising team was Team Callis, clocking in at about $15,000. Roxanne Stephens, event lead, said the money raised will go toward research, education, and services, such as rides for treatment. During the opening ceremony, at around 2 p.m., Stephens greeted the friends, family, and coworkers of people who have had cancer touch their lives. She encouraged them to share their stories and continue to fight. “Cancer thrives on silence, complacency, and business as usual,” she said. According to the American Cancer Society, there will be 16,000 cancer-related deaths in New Jersey this year, she said.
After the ceremony, the first lap was for survivors. The second was for caregivers. The third had teams carrying their banners. Booths around the path had carnival-themed food and games. Music and activities were scheduled throughout the night. Some laps were given themes. There was a poignant luminary service scheduled for 10 p.m.

Sports:
Continued From Page 1 other sporting events. Other parents agreed. Kenny Lewis’ son Evan was competing on his scooter that day. He said the players and parents in this sport are like a family. When the Incline Club in Lakewood closed, it took one important place off the map for these kinds of sports. The skate park in Berkeley has filled that void for some. The kids all talk and figure out what skate park to go to, and then it becomes a meetup of five or six families, Lewis explained. That’s what’s created this closeness between the athletes. “It’s more about getting together and enjoying yourself rather than winning,” he said. This “family” is very big, and they will travel from all over for this. Going to a skate park in New Hampshire or Maryland is not out of the question. The Lewises came from Middletown. That’s what you do for your kids when they love what they’re doing, and get such a boost of confidence in performing. When a kid fell down, there was a small group that would gather to make sure he was all right. And the announcer, who was offering a play-by-play, would ask for the crowd to cheer the kid on when he got back up. The competition was held off a week since the previous weekend was threatening rain. Guadagno said it didn’t hurt the attendance pushing it off a week and combining two days of events into one.

Brick Proposes Two Plans For New VA Clinic
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Not all veterans are retirees, but there are a large number of military veterans and their families living in the township’s 13 adult communities who use the services of the Veteran Administration’s James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic, which has been at located at 970 Route 70 for 25 years. The need has outgrown the facility’s ability to accommodate all the Ocean County veterans who use their services, so the Veterans Administration is looking to lease a site that could accommodate an 80,000 square-foot building with at least 480 parking spaces, said Mayor John G. Ducey during the most recent council meeting. The governing body passed a resolution in support of keeping the new outpatient clinic in Brick when it is rebuilt, and Ducey said that the township has two “perfect” locations for it. The first is behind the Lowe’s Home Improvement store on Cedar Bridge Avenue, which is near the Garden State Parkway with entrances north and south. It’s close to Brick Hospital, and it’s outside the flood zone, he said. “There’s a number of different requirements and it meets pretty much all of them,” he said. “There’s enough land for the 80,000 square-foot facility, as well as the parking, and it’s zoned properly.” The second site is a stone’s throw from Brick Hospital, and is already in a Hos-
pital Support Zone. A wooded triangle of property located between Burrsville Road, Jack Martin Blvd. and Route 88 would be perfect, Ducey said, because the new clinic would fit on the site, it’s close to the Garden State Parkway, and is on Route 88 - a major road, and close to Route 70. “It’s a quarter mile from our hospital,” he said. “The VA clinic sometimes has more emergent needs to be met, and the patients have to be brought to a full-standing hospital, and it’s right there.” Other uses have been proposed for the wooded triangle, including “Ocean Point,” a hotel, apartment and retail complex, which hit a bureaucratic snag at a Planning Board meeting when the objecting attorney filed a complaint to the county court that the application was before the wrong board. It was determined that the application should be heard by the township Zoning Board, which is scheduled for June 20. The original application has changed, said Assistant Township Planner Tara Paxton after the council meeting. “The hotel is no longer proposed,” Paxton said in an email. “They are now proposing office, commercial and apartments above the office and commercial,” and the development would be called “Bay Point.” Ducey said that the owner of the wooded triangular lot has submitted a letter of interest to the federal government to lease
the land to the VA for the new outpatient clinic, which means Bay Point would not be built at that location if the Veterans Administration chooses it. “Both of these properties were submitted to the federal government before the May 18 deadline, so this resolution is going off to Senator (Cory) Booker, Senator (Robert) Menendez, (Congressman Tom) MacArthur, Congressman (Chris) Smith
and Congressman (Frank) LoBiondo to keep the VA clinic here in Brick, where we definitely need it,” Ducey said. He said the VA is also considering Toms River and Wall as possible sites for the new outpatient clinic. The current 34,000 square-foot facility provides services such as radiology, dental, mental health, audiology, a pharmacy and more.

the ballpark of about $17,000-$18,000. “If the donations stop, so does the show.” While they seek larger sponsors, small donations would go a long way. If everyone who went to see them sent just a dollar, or $5 per family, it would go a long way.
“We’re very grateful to South Toms River,” a neighboring community that donates to the fund, she said. This year, the show will start at dusk on July 4. The rain date is July 5. There’s a new fireworks vendor this year. The company is called Fireworks Extrav-
aganza, an award-winning company out of Rochelle Park, New Jersey. To support the fireworks, checks of any denomination can be sent to Beachwood Fireworks, 1600 Pinewald Rd., Beachwood, NJ 08722. Checks can be dropped off at any municipal building.

State Must Restore Full Funding For Homestead Rebates From The Desk Of
The Mayor - By Berkeley Mayor
Carmen F. Amato, Jr. BERKELEY - Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr. asked The Township Council to adopt a resolution in support of full funding for the State Homestead property tax credit program to Governor Murphy and Senate and
Assembly leaders. “Nearly 43 percent of our property taxpayers qualify for the Homestead Benefit Program. Many of our property taxpayers are seniors on fixed incomes and hard working young families who
rely on this credit to help make ends meet. The Township respectfully requests full funding of the Homestead Credit, as promised,” Mayor Amato said. Last year, as part of the State’s 2017-2018 Budget agreement, the state Legislature and former Governor Chris Christie deferred half of the Homestead Property Tax Credit until the start of a new fiscal year, which begins on July 1. Unfortunately, according to page 18 of the proposed
2018-2019 State Budget, there will be $12.5 million less in funding than the 2017-2018 Budget for the Homestead Credit program. Under last year’s budget agreement, this year’s proposed budget should not only fund the second half of last year’s credit, but an additional year of full funding for the program. “According to the latest State of New Jersey, Department of Community Affairs 2017 Property tax information, Berkeley Township
had 9,755 properties that qualified for the Homestead Program. The State average credit is about $400 per home. Those roughly 9,800 proper ty owners represent about 43 percent of all Berkeley Township property owners. Berkeley Township has the third highest amount of homeowners that qualify behind two other Ocean County towns. Manchester has the largest, followed by Toms River,” Amato said. “I understand the State’s fiscal difficulties. Although
New Gun Safety Legislation Proposed From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Congressman MacArthur has cosponsored three bills that will help make our communities safer. This comes after Congress took real action in passing the Fix NICS Act and STOP School Violence Act, which were both signed into law in March. “In the aftermath of the devastating shooting in Parkland, Congress passed meaningful legislation that strengthened our background check system and
increased funding to secure our schools. While these new laws will help, there is more that can be done,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd). “We have seen the system continually fail to protect our communities from gun violence. I have reviewed legislation and discussed next steps with members of our community. I am cosponsoring additional bills which will ensure that our schools have the proper security personnel, and that
more is done to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and those who pose a threat to themselves and others.” Congressman MacArthur cosponsored three bills that will address the issue of gun violence. These bills strengthen the federal programs to help schools pay for school resource officers and security guards, further prevent domestic abusers from purchasing fi rearms, and allow law enforcement to confiscate firearms when ordered by a Court. Rep. MacArthur also joined colleagues on a bipartisan letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions urging “expeditious implementation of the STOP School Violence Act and other school security

grant programs authorized and funded by Congress.” Summaries of legislation cosponsored by Congressman MacArthur: H.R. 5427 - School and Student Safety Act, introduced by Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA), this bill reauthorizes the COPS in Schools (CIS) program, which provided federal grants for hiring school resource officers (SRO) between 1999 and 2005. Reauthorizing this
grant program will allow federal funding to help schools pay for trained resource officers and security guards who are capable of responding to active shooter situations. H.R. 3207 - Zero Tolerance for Domestic Abusers Act, was introduced by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and currently has 99 cosponsors.

loopholes that allow known abusers and stalkers to access guns. H.R. 5717 - Jake Laird Act, this bipartisan bill provides grants to encourage states to adopt laws similar to Indiana’s 2005 Jake Laird Law, which allows local law enforcement to seize and retain firearms from individuals who are determined by a Court to be an imminent danger to themselves or others.
A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF DROOPING EYELIDS
One of the first symptoms experienced by those suffering from the condition known as “myasthenia gravis,” a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, is drooping of one or both eyelids. More than half of those who develop myasthenia gravis experience first signs and symptoms of the condition that involve eye problems. Along with “ptosis” (eyelid droopiness), myasthenia gravis patients may also experience “diplopia” (double vision) in addition to other symptoms elsewhere in their bodies. Symptoms of ptosis and diplopia can both be explained by an interruption in the communication that normally takes place between nerves and muscles. Once diagnosed (sometimes with the help of an ophthalmologist), there are various medical treatments for myasthenia gravis. Double vision that results from myasthenia gravis is usually treated by blocking the vision from one eye. Either the patient can wear an eye patch or place scotch tape over one lens in the eyeglasses. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Hope For Safer Gun Laws Tragically, it is an irrefutable fact that America has a growing gun violence problem. Despite the unending string of school shootings, Congress refuses to take bold action. Rather, our elected officials choose to merely mourn the victims and rearrange the deck chairs. It surely does not take a team of scientists to determine that several root causes of this grave problem are the proliferation of guns and mental illness. It is also quite evident that Congress’s inaction is directly related to the influence of the well-financed gun lobby. Without a doubt, common sense laws w ill help keep weapons out of the hands of criminal
and other irresponsible persons. For star ters, Congress should enact a comprehensive background check law with no exceptions for gun shows or third party sales. Additionally, Congress should ban bump stocks and launch a thorough CDC study of gun violence. Fortunately, our state currently has fairly robust gun laws in place. However, there is always room for improvement. Encourage your state senator to pass the measures currently being discussed in Trenton. For a safer New Jersey, let’s strive to have the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. Luke Stango Jackson

Letters To The Editor Volunteering Creates A Rich School Environment It’s the time of year when kids are starting to think about summer, teachers can’t wait to be done, and Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Executive Board members can taste the sweet relief associated with the last day of school. For me, the end of this school year is bittersweet. I will complete my service as PTO co-president after four long years. I’ll admit, I’ve dreamed about this day and so has my family, who bear the brunt of all the long hours, weekend planning, and non-stop fundraisers. I have one monthly board meeting left until I rotate off into parental obsolescence and join the masses who have no worldly school obligations beyond getting their kids to and from school each day. Now that my “job” is done, do I just pretend to be anonymous? Do I get to stop volunteering, showing up for events, donating money, socializing with parents, checking Facebook and the Remind system continuously to ensure I’m not missing something? This is where the rubber meets the road. We have a saying here at our PTO, “Before you complain, try volunteering.” If your school is anything like ours, there is a very small core group of parents and volunteers who show up for everything while the other 85 percent of parents send in money but don’t volunteer. Now I’m not complaining that they send in money and support our fundraisers. Trust me when I say we could not operate without their financial support. However, the number one excuse I’ve heard over the past seven years regarding why parents don’t volunteer is this: I work full-time. Really? So does the majority of our executive board and most of our volunteers, and yet we dedicate ourselves tirelessly to the children and the school. We come out in rain, snow, and heat so hot that you’re dripping the moment you walk into the
Letters To The Editor non-air-conditioned school. of the PTO and its sub-comDespite others’ lack of enthusiasm that matched mine, I kept chugging along these past few years, always secure in the knowledge that all our PTO did was for the children, and I still believe that with all my heart. Knowing that I’m helping to create a safe, happy, innovative environment for my children as they pass through elementary school is the No. 1 mission. Seven years ago, when my daughter began at school, I thought “I can use my professional business skills to help the PTO.” But as I reflect now, I realize, what I have learned in working with some amazing women and men are lifelong skills I’ll carry with me back into my professional life. I’ve earned stripes and grey hairs and more than a few battle scars in my endeavor to help the school. Volunteering is not that different from our “real lives” in the sense that we make choices, we commit ourselves to causes, and we beam with pride when it goes our way and lick our wounds when it doesn’t. So to all the parents out there who think they’re too busy, don’t want to “get involved in the politics” or are indifferent to becoming a school volunteer, I ask you this question: imagine what would be possible for your child, if you did? Now imagine what the landscape would look like if there was no PTO, no volunteers, no caring parents willing to show up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday or stay until 9 p.m. on a Sunday night to make life a little sweeter for the kids. Financially, the difference is this: you would be asked to contribute hundreds of dollars (or more) over the course of the school year toward assembly programs, operating costs, and all the parties, gifts, and food the PTO provides by running its fundraisers. As annoying as all those colored flyers may be, pulling out your checkbook is worse. Has your child ever complained they didn’t get an end of year gift, there was no yearbook this year, or that book fair was cancelled? All this and more would be impossible without the work
mittees. How much of a challenge would it be for you to volunteer twice throughout the course of a school year? Please, envision a school in which every parent does this. The ripple effect would be immediately noticeable in major and minor ways including the sense of pride the parent and child felt because of volunteering, the relationships that begin to form with teachers and staff, the familiarity parents begin to feel in working with PTO members and upon entering the school to smiling faces and hugs versus a request for ID, the pride they exhibit towards one another as part of the membership and on and on it goes. So, the next time someone from your school asks if you can volunteer, give them a different answer and commit yourself to taking a different path next year as you mentor your child about the benefits of volunteerism in society a lesson they’ll be sure to carry with them into their own adult lives. This is a call to action for parents throughout the United States: volunteering works, but you first have to show up.
MacArthur Doesn’t Advocate For Seniors
Holiday City South homeowners: I would like to specifically address the people who have made the move to Holiday City South in the past five years. I welcome you all. In my opinion this is the best overall senior community in this area and with your help and involvement, it will stay that way. If you have a complaint or comment, let your trustees know. This will make this community a better place to live. The future of Holiday City South belongs to you. I am a candidate in the trustee election on June 20. I would like to be re-elected for a second term. I would appreciate your support.
A recent letter, “MacArthur advocates for seniors” made statements that were vague and left out information that contradicts the statement. Before Obamacare, women were charged more, there were no caps on lifetime limits, seniors were faced with the “donut hole,” individuals with pre-existing conditions couldn’t get insurance or it was terribly expensive and more than twenty million people opted to enroll in Obamacare as well as other benefits from Obamacare. The MacArthur Amendment would turn back the clock and allow states to request waivers of pre-existing conditions, opting out of essential health benefits, mental health services, doctors’ services, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, prescription drug coverage and more. Even President Donald Trump described this healthcare bill with the MacArthur Amendment as “mean.” With the elimination of the individual mandate, insurance rates will increase significantly more than they would have. The irony is that everyone one of us was covered by insurance from prenatal care on, but politicians like MacArthur want to allow individuals to opt out when they feel they are healthy enough to take advantage of the system they benefited from. As far as taxes are concerned, Congressman MacArthur was the only one of the twelve Republican congressmen in New Jersey and New York to vote for the Trump tax plan. Everyone loses the personal exemption, state and local taxes are capped at $10,000, the national debt will increase hundreds of billions more each year and even Paul Ryan said he was looking to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security after the tax cut to offset the increased deficit it caused. Bracket creep is the stealth hidden problem in this tax plan. Each year a bigger tax bite will come out of taxpayers’ pockets and they won’t be the wiser. Thank you, Congressman MacArthur!

COMPLETE EYE CARE SERVICES –Photo by Chris Lundy By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Work continued on the turf field that will be built at Sam Pepe Memorial Stadium near Veterans Park. Work is estimated to finish in August. The field will be used for different sports, and
being artificial has more utility than grass fields, officials have said. The field is projected to cost $804,000, but $750,000 of that came from the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres Program. The remainder is the township’s responsibility.

Holiday City At Berkeley EMS Offers Tips For Staying Cool In Summer
By Phyllis Brown Love the summer heat and sun? The Beach! The pool! The garden! Yeah! July and August are the gardener’s and the sun worshippers’ best and worse months. Sunscreens: It is better to use a higher SPF sunscreen because most people don’t put on a thick enough layer so 30 becomes as effective as 15. Waterproof screen still needs to be reapplied. Doctors recommend reapplying sunscreens every 2 hours and apply the first time about 20 minutes before going out. You should be using at least a shot glass full of sunscreen every time you apply. Also, if you’re doing it right, you should usually use a bottle of sunscreen a week according to doctors. Heat Exhaustion can develop over several days of exposure to high temperatures. Those most prone to it are elderly people, those with high blood pressure, and those working or exercising in a hot environment. The skin might feel cool and moist. The pulse rate will be fast and weak, and breathing will be fast and shallow. What else to watch out for: • Heavy sweating • Paleness • Muscle cramps • Tiredness • Weakness • Dizziness • Headache • Nausea or vomiting • Fainting A cool bath or shower may help stop heat exhaustion from progressing to heat stroke. Heat Stroke: This is the big one. It can cause brain damage, organ failure, and death. So
immediate medical attention is required. There are two types, described by Health Canada: Classic heat stroke typically affects sedentary and vulnerable populations (babies, pregnant women, the elderly and people who are on certain medications. Exertional heat stroke is associated with high physical activity. What else to watch out for: • High body temperature (usually over 104°F) • Lack of sweating; though those with exertional heat stroke may experience profuse sweating • Red, hot, and dry skin • Rapid heartbeat, which may be either strong or weak • Rapid, shallow breathing • Dizziness and light-headedness • Throbbing headache • Nausea or vomiting • Behavioral changes - confusion, disorientation, or staggering • Seizures • Muscle weakness or cramps • Hallucinations • Unconsciousness Key Preventions: Most important-staying hydrated. Dehydration can be caused by caffeine, alcohol, certain medications (antidepressants and antihistamines), and not drinking enough water. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Stick to the shade, (bring your own if there won’t be any where you are going). Wear a hat. Wear lightweight, breathable clothing. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen. Stay Well!

By Chris Lundy LAKEWOOD – Central Regional Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides was awarded an honorary degree, Doctor of Educational Administration, during the commencement ceremony of Georgian Court University. “As an alumnus of Georgian Court, you exemplify the Mercy core values of compassion, service, respect, integrity, and justice,” wrote Georgian Court President Joseph R. Marbach. “Your accomplishments at Central Regional High School have helped thousands of students transform their lives through education. Your commitment to a strong and lasting partnership with Georgian Court University has served as a model for university partnerships, which are helping the university achieve even greater success. We believe that you live Mercy, through your passion and many years of service.” Central students can earn credits from
Georgian Court while still in high school. Parlapanides has a Master of Arts in Administration and Leadership from Georgian Court, in addition to his other education. He has been superintendent since 2008. “It was a great night and a great team effort,” Parlapanides said, crediting other staff members for their work in giving students a lot of options for success. “Can’t thank these guys enough, Dr. Corbett, Dr. Mueller, Mr. Heale, Dr. Kipp, Dr. Gross, Dr. Chinery and the wonderful and talented Evelyn Quinn!” There are many options that Central students can choose, including: the Humanities Academy, the Digital Media Academy, the Eagle Leadership Academy, and the Army JROTC Program. Funding for many programs comes from the New Jersey Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, where the state pays tuition for students to come to the district.

Monmouth & Ocean County Towns And School Districts Receive EDF Fellows EWING – Sustainable Jersey recently announced the seven townships and two school districts, located in Monmouth and Ocean counties, that were selected to receive an Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Climate Corps Fellow to provide on-site technical assistance with energy efficiency projects. This technical assistance program has been made possible through funding provided by New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG). The 2018 Recipients of EDF Fellows: • Asbury Park City • Freehold Borough • Lake Como Borough • Neptune Township • Jackson Township School District • Little Egg Harbor Township • Little Egg Harbor Township School District • Ocean Gate Borough • Point Pleasant Beach Borough “We are proud to partner with Sustainable Jersey to help connect communities with the resources they need to make wise energy choices,” said Anne-Marie Peracchio, director of conservation and clean energy policy for New Jersey Natural Gas. “The host towns and schools will benefit greatly from this unique opportunity as the EDF Climate Corps Fellows provide guidance and insight to help them address challenges and plan customized energy-efficiency solutions that help advance their sustainability goals.” Through the EDF Climate Corps fellowship program, Sustainable Jersey is pairing three specially trained graduate fellows with municipalities and school districts to provide expertise and support for evaluation, planning and implementation of projects that
will help improve the energy performance of their respective buildings. The EDF Fellows will begin work with township and school district staff in June 2018. Sustainable Jersey reviewed the applications and will provide guidance to the EDF Climate Corps fellows to help them advise participating schools and municipalities about resources specific to New Jersey, as well as initiatives that earn points toward the Sustainable Jersey certification program. In particular, the EDF Climate Corps fellows help the towns and school districts access the many incentives available through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program. “Supporting communities with technical expertise to do sustainable energy efficiency projects is an important step toward our goal of a sustainable New Jersey,” said Sustainable Jersey Director Randall Solomon. “Over the course of the summer, fellows will get energy efficiency projects on the fast track to accomplishment – simultaneously lowering energy costs and environmental impact.” In 2017, through this program and with the support of NJNG, Sustainable Jersey placed three EDF Climate Corps fellows to assist a total of seven municipalities and schools: Atlantic Highlands School District, Brielle Borough School District, Howell Township, Middletown Township, Rumson Borough School District, Sea Girt Borough School District and Shore Regional High School District. Learn more about what the EDF Climate Corps fellows have accomplished in previous years for New Jersey schools and municipalities: NJ EDF Climate Corps Project Reports.

Does hearing technology call for ongoing professional upkeep? Can I handle any needed maintenance at home? How can I tell whether my devices are damaged? Where can I take them for replacement or repair? Much like today’s tablets and cell phones, hearing aids are powered by complex technology that may require professional attention in certain circumstances, but a little DIY maintenance can go a long way in keeping your devices in top shape. Read on for five simple tips to maximize your tech’s longevity. Keep ’Em Dry and Sanitized: Water is kryptonite to hearing aids, so remember to remove them before showering or swimming, and use a hearing aid dryer or dehumidifier not only to reduce moisture but to sanitize and store your technology at the same time. Wipe Off the Wax: Earwax (also called cerumen) naturally accumulates in the ear and on your hearing aid, but gently wiping your devices each night with a soft, dry cloth and clearing the part of the device that goes into your ear canal with the provided tooth brush will make quick work of the buildup. Check the Batteries: Batteries typically can last from a few days to a couple weeks depending on the tech-

nology, usage, and other factors, but a constantly beeping hearing aid may mean the batteries need changing. Always keep spares on hand, and remember to remove and store batteries at room temperature apart from your hearing aids when not wearing them. Ask for a “battery caddy.” Replace the Wax Guard: Put your hearing aid’s wax guard — which helps protect against the damaging accumulation of wax, skin particles, and debris — on a monthly change schedule. Also, if your technology isn’t functioning properly even with fresh batteries, it may be time to change the wax guard. Skip the Pockets: Pockets seem naturally convenient for carrying loose hearing aids and batteries while on the go, but not so fast! Keep your devices in their case to avoid losing or getting debris on them, and place batteries where they won’t come into contact with keys, coins, and other metals, which can cause battery discharge and other problems. Self-care of your hearing aids is an important part of keeping them performing their best, and periodic clean and checks with our caring professionals will identify and address any damage or other problems that might otherwise be harder to spot.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Eat Bananas In The Pursuit Of Happiness By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Most bananas are peeled and eating within one minute. That’s according to The Guiness Book of World Records. While not officially amazing in my opinion, the most bananas peeled and eaten in one minute is 8 and was accomplished by a man named Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti, a competitive eater. Because bananas have a constipating effect on your digestion, this guy was probably constipated for days, lol! Bananas have a tremendous amount of medicinal applications. For one, the peel of a banana is known as a home remedy to promote wound healing from minor burns. The actual fruit could have substantial impact on several illnesses, including depression. Last year in 2017, the crop which sells about 145 million tons of bananas (worldwide) came under attack. A deadly fungus spread through plantations, and simultaneously, bacterial disease killed some plantations in Africa. Bananas are not doomed don’t worry, and that’s a good thing if you have depression or Parkinson’s disease which are due in part to low dopamine. Dopamine is a happy brain chemical, it’s your body’s natural antidepressant. Dopamine is what makes you want to garden or golf for example, to dance, laugh and do fun hobbies. Healthy dopamine levels are critical for movement and coordination. With declining levels of dopamine, or dopamine receptor insensitivity, you could see Parkinson’s like symptoms, depression, bladder dysfunction, obesity, memory loss, sometimes attention problems and unexplained fear or anxiety spells. So where do bananas fall into this discussion? In their small way, they contribute a
chemical that helps you make dopamine! They are naturally high in an amino acid called tyrosine which is part of the dopamine chemical structure. Without tyrosine, you can’t make dopamine or thyroid hormone for that matter! Dopamine and thyroid hormone are two primary “happy” brain chemicals. So if you’re in the pursuit of happiness, go bananas! In some strange banana news, a British man was driving in Taiwan and he threw his banana peel out the car window. A Taiwanese man, who saw this act of littering, followed him and confronted him at a red light. The man said, “Littering is unethical and uncivilized behavior.” While I do agree, I don’t think I would have chased someone down over a flying banana peel. Bananas could possibly help with diabetes due to the pectin and resistant starch. Leg cramps could be soothed by the amount of potassium and magnesium in bananas. And some research suggests anti-cancer effects. I’ve written an extensive article on the health benefits of bananas and if you’d like to read that version, sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com. In the meantime, here are 7 ideas to help you go bananas! 1. Just peel and eat 2. Add a banana to your smoothie 3. Make banana chocolate chip bread or muffins 4.

Ocean County Proclamation: June is Tick Awareness Month
OCEAN COUNTY – At the Rutgers Cooperative Extension (RCE) of Ocean County, the Rutgers Master Gardeners have been identifying ticks since 2008. In 2017, over 3,690 ticks were identified in our lab, the highest number of ticks so far. We did have two abnormally large quantities brought in: one client brought in a pair of socks covered in 1,371 Lone Star larva ticks, and the other 249 Lone Star larva ticks off a dog. The larval stage of a tick is as tiny as a speck of dust, but is the better one to find, as it has not yet acquired any diseases. In 2017, the most common ticks we identified were the Lone Star tick (2,871 ticks), the American dog tick (591 ticks) and last, the Deer tick (231 ticks). There are four stages in the tick lifecycle: egg, larva, nymph and adult. Mostly, we are concerned with the nymph and adult stages, as they are the ones with the potential to spread disease. Adult Deer ticks are active October through May and nymphs from May-August. With American Dog ticks, we only see the adults in the lab April through August. Lone Star tick adults are active April-August and nymphs May-August. While summer time is prime time, ticks can be active when air temperature is above 50°F. If you find a tick, do not panic. Remove the tick. Use a tick removal key or a fine-tipped
tweezer to grasp tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Apply steady backward/ upward force until the tick is dislodged. DO NOT USE alcohol, nail polish, burning matches, petroleum jelly or any other methods to remove ticks, as this may cause tick to regurgitate. Place the tick in a sealed bag/container with a small piece of damp paper towel and refrigerate it. Free tick identification is available at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County, 1623 Whitesville Road, Toms River. Staff and Rutgers Master Gardeners are here Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. to identify ticks and answer other horticultural issues. Once we identify the tick, we will discuss with you information about that tick species, potential diseases it can carry, and symptoms for which to watch. As we are not medical personnel, you should seek medical advice on a course of action. Neither the RCE nor the Ocean County Health Department test ticks for disease. We have a list of labs you can send the tick to be tested. However, testing will only show if that tick was carrying disease, not that transmission occurred. For more information about our services, please call 732-349-1246 or visit our website at ocean.njaes.rutgers.edu/.

Inside The Law Identifying Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect

Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael Deem of R.C. Shea and Associates Nursing Home Abuse can take many forms. It can be intentional, visible, obvious or it can be more subtle-abuse through neglect and general lack of care on the part of nursing home staff. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or even sexual. Each of these takes a heavy toll on any person, but nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect can be especially hard on the elderly -- some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Whatever form nursing home abuse takes, it is urgent that you and your loved one open a dialogue about this extraordinarily sensitive topic. Communication is necessary to end the abuse and let the healing begin. The fi rst step in opening a dialogue is identifying suspected abuse. There are many signs of nursing home abuse that you can look for. The first sign you may notice is a change in behavior. The emotional effects that often accompany abuse can manifest as sluggishness or depression, a lack of enthusiasm for things your loved one once enjoyed, or even a loss of interest in visits. The change in attitude can be significant and sudden, or it may be subtle and prolonged. The most important thing is to be observant and notice if the change is taking place on any level. Of course, it is also possible that signs of abuse will be far more apparent. Physical signs of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect can take the form of bruises, sores, cuts, scars, or any similar injuries. These may be from simple accidents, but if there is anything suspi-
cious about the injury, the problem should be addressed immediately. Michael J. Deem Suspicious signs might include a reluctance to talk about how the injury occurred or claiming not to remember the cause. Even more obvious signs are bedsores which are a common signs of nursing home neglect. They are painful and, if infected, can be potentially lethal. Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse. When abuse or neglect are identified or suspected it is important to notify the authorities and contact a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer to discuss your legal rights. Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of the local authorities and your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways. If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect call the trial attorney’s at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

Film Fest Success: LBI Celebrates End Of 10th Annual Festival
By Kimberly Bosco SHIP BOTTOM – The Lighthouse International Film Festival (LIFF) brought its 10th annual season to a close with an after party and awards ceremony on June 10, the fi nal day of the four-day festival. This year’s festival was a great success, according to LIFF Executive Director Eric Johnson. Johnson will be stepping down as executive director, a position to be taken over by the current deputy executive director, Amir Bogen, for next year’s event. “I think the festival went great this year, there was a fantastic turnout,” said Johnson. “Up and down the island, we saw turnouts for not just the crowd-pleasing films, but the avant-garde films, the challenging documentaries, and the shorts program as well as our new storytellers’ episodic category.” Even for the new genres, such as the episodic features, there was a positive audience response, according to Johnson. “It’s just another great way of storytelling, and other great content,” he added regarding the episodic category. Johnson noted that it is always a good idea to expand the content in the festival, which this year included a new virtual reality section as well as the storytellers genre. A favorite of LIFF volunteer Rafael was the closing night film, one of the four headliners, “Anote’s Ark.” This documentary showcased Kiribati, a low-lying pacific island that faces destruction from sea-level
rise and climate change. The films covered a host of topics, from challenging issues such as climate change, to behind the scenes stories of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, to a daughter’s quest to fi nd her father on our very own Long Beach Island. The festival also gives students a chance to showcase their work, and an opportunity to join the film world at an early age. The winning student film was, ironically, centered on a group of boys trying to make a film for a film festival that can’t fi nd the right topic. One LIFF volunteer noted that the filmmakers or directors from Manhattan, New York are considered local because the festival attracts those from foreign countries as well. There was a full house at the restaurant for the ceremony, held at Joe Pop’s Shore Bar & Restaurant in Ship Bottom, where film buffs and producers rubbed elbows and LIFF members and volunteers mingled with locals. Outside of its members, the LIFF has a whole host of volunteers who tackle various tasks to make the event possible. It is a collective effort on behalf of the members, volunteers, and caring community that bring the festival to life each year. “They [LIFF volunteers] have given their time and dedication…we could not do it without our community who have donated everything from paper goods to fliers, to the food we’re eating tonight,”
said Christine Rooney, Managing Director of the LIFF. Food was donated from local business such as Incredibowls and the Philly Pretzel Factory while the space was donated by Joe Pop’s for the private event. The fi rst two awards given were the nonfilm awards. “These are a couple awards that the festival holds dear because they are supporters of the festival…that are integral to making the festival happen,” said Johnson. These include the Community Service Award which was given to the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. The LBI Foundation partners with LIFF to host events. The other award was the Pat Dengler Volunteer of the Year Award, awarded to Kelly Travis, one of the special events coordinators of the festival. The awards for each category in the festival follow: • Best HS Student Film: “Pick Again,” by Kieran Sherry and Will Vinsko • Storytellers Audience Award: a tie between “Unspeakable,” director Milena Govich and “Adventure Capital,” co-directors Everett Glovier and Zach Myers • Grand Award Stor ytellers: “Lost Kings,” Director Terrance Smalls • Special Jury Award Screenwriting Narrative Short: “Still Water Runs Deep,” Director Abbesi Akhanie • Grand Jury Award Narrative Short Film: “Atlantic City,” Director Miguel Alvarez • Short Film Special Jury Award Docu-
mentary: “Nobody Loves Me,” Director Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman • Grand Jury Award Doc Short: “Brooklynn,” Director Charles A. Mysak • Short Film Audience Award: “Head Above Water,” Director Eric Shahinian • Doc Feature Audience Award: “Half The Picture,” Director Amy Adrion • Documentary Feature Special Jury Award: “306 Hollywood,” Directors Elan Bogarin, Jonathan Bogarin • Documentary Feature Grand Jury Award: “Phantom Cowboys,” Director Daniel Patrick Carbone • Spotlight Audience Award Narrative: “Easy,” Director Andrea Magnani • Spotlight Audience Award Doc: “Daughters Of The Sexual Revolution,” Director Carra Greenberg • Narrative Feature Audience Award: “Night Comes On,” Director Jordana Spiro • Narrative Feature Special Jury Award: “The Fever and The Fret,” Director Cath Gulick • Narrative Feature Grand Jury Award: “Night Comes On,” Director Jordana Spiro. The festival was comprised of 6 Spotlight films, 6 Narrative films, 6 Documentary films, 5 VR (virtual reality) experiences, nearly 70 short films, 13 Storytellers episodic series, and 16 student films. Winning films were chosen by the LIFF Jury, made up of a series of experienced and seasoned writers, directors, producers, and even film teachers.
JCP&L Gears Up For Summer Season With Inspections & Projects By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) recently completed inspections and projects meant to enhance customer service reliability throughout the 13-county service area for summer. Part of these projects included upgrading transmission and substation equipment, upgrading circuits and trimming trees along power lines. JCP&L is still performing inspections via helicopter to look for damaged wire, broken cross arms, failed insulators, and other hardware problems not easily detected from the ground. Any issues found will be addressed.
Other inspections on the ground include using “thermovision” cameras to capture infrared images that can detect potential problems and identify hot spots. This allows for repairs to be made before a power outage occurs. “The heat and humidity of summer weather results in our customers using more air conditioning to stay cool,” said Jim Fakult, president of JCP&L. “By proactively inspecting and maintaining our equipment, we help ensure system reliability to meet this increased electrical load when temperatures climb and customers depend on us to stay comfortable.”
Improvement projects include: Replacing 12 – 34.5 kilovolt (kV) circuit breakers at substations in Bridgewater, Milford, Old Bridge, Robbinsville, Summit and Toms River. Upgrading 230 kV line relay protection systems at substations in Lakewood and South River. Replacing a 230-kV transformer at a substation in Morristown. Upgrading a transformer bank to add capacity at a substation in Riverdale. Replacing and installing updated equipment along 17 major circuits. JCP&L has also worked on trimming t rees to maintain proper clearances
around electrical systems, to help prevent tree-related outages. JCP&L’s tree contractors have trimmed about 1,300 circuit miles of power lines since January and expect to trim another 2,100 miles by year end. Tree work also includes a $3 million effort to remove dead and dying ash trees affected by the Emerald Ash Borer before they can cause damage.

By Kimberly Bosco RED BANK – Come see popular comedian Jon Stewart at the Count Basie Center for the Arts on June 17 at 8 p.m.! Stewart will be taking part in an interview and an audience Q&A session. “I’m happy to appear at the Basie for a great cause – the Count Basie,” Stewart said. “The expansion going on at the center is going to keep Monmouth County the center of ‘Jersey’s premier arts communities.” Stewart is a prominent social and comedic figure, long-time host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and a New York Times best-selling author. Having been nominated 56 times for an Emmy Award, he now has a fi rst-look deal with HBO and is an executive producer on CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Tickets cost between $75 and $250. Customers are limited to 4 ticket purchases per household. You can purchase tickets
at theBASIE.org, 732-842-9000, or at the Basie box office. All proceeds will benefit the Basie Center’s capital campaign project, a $26 million project that will expand the facility into a true, regional center for the arts. It will feature a Jay And Linda Grunin Arts And Education Building, a second performance venue, space for the Basie Performing Arts Academy, and upgrades to the backstage theater area. A second phase of the campaign will expand the Basie Theater’s lobby, restrooms, concessions areas, and add a new, outdoor public arts plaza. “We’re honored that Jon is lending his support to the Count Basie Center,” said Adam Philipson, President and CEO, Count Basie Center for the Arts. “Proceeds from this evening will go directly towards construction of our new center. It’s impossible to express how much this means to us. Jon’s dedication to the region, the Basie and the arts in general is invaluable.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE County & Health Dpt. Making Sure Swimming Water Is Clean
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County officials announced that the Ocean County Health Department’s water sampling program has officially begun. “Each year the Ocean County Health Department has a full team of water samplers who visit 72 recreational swimming beaches on the ocean, bay and rivers and lakes throughout the county to take samples of water for testing to the lab located at the Ocean County Utilities Authority facility in Bayville,” according to Freeholder Director Gerry Little. Individual testing results are compiled and then sent to the State lab for review and publication. You can find results at ochd.org. “The residents of Ocean County and all our visitors should be aware that we are vigorous in ensuring that our swimming beaches are
clean and safe,” stated Freeholder Director Little. “Reports of beach closures elsewhere in the State naturally raise concern but Ocean County has for many years tested our swimming areas throughout the County continuously from before Memorial Day weekend to after Labor Day weekend so our residents and visitors can feel safe going into the water.” Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye also noted that excessive rainfall can impact water quality due to runoff into local lakes and rivers. If testing results ever show less than acceptable results, that swimming area would be temporarily closed and tested daily until results demonstrate safer water quality, according to Regenye. “Last year over 450 inspections were conducted throughout Ocean County to insure safe swimming can be enjoyed by all residents and visitors,” added Regenye.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Toms River man convicted for using his securities trading company to steal more than $400,000 from investors back in May has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison, according to Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. Jeffrey D. Griffin, Jr., 43, of Toms River, was sentenced to 10 years by Superior Court Judge Joseph Portelli in Passaic County on June 7. Griffin has also been ordered to pay full restitution. Griffin was convicted on five counts, charging him with theft by deception, misapplication of entrusted property, two counts of violation of New Jersey’s Uniform Securities Act, and money laundering, all in the second degree, on May 8. “Our strong message to dishonest agents in the investment industry is that if you break the law and cheat New Jersey investors out of their hard-earned savings, we will prosecute you and make you pay,” said Attorney General Grewal. “This defendant betrayed his clients to serve his own greed, but now he will serve time in prison, thanks to our trial team and all of the investigators in the Division of Criminal Justice and Bureau of Securities whose outstanding collaboration secured this verdict.” Griffin was previously found guilty of stealing funds from investors by depositing them into his securities trading company and then using the money for personal expenses. “Griffin’s clients trusted him to invest in legitimate investment vehicles for their benefit, but he repaid their trust by stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars of their money,” said Director Veronica Allende of the Division of Criminal Justice. “We will aggressively investigate these egregious and criminal violations of trust and prosecute those responsible to the full extent of the law.” According to testimony and evidence presented at trial, from August 2010 through July 2011, Griffin stole $408,000 from four investors – three men and one woman. The funds were deposited by Griffin into his newly

formed company, Tricep Trading LLC. Griffin had worked as a stockbroker for another investment firm, but he left that firm to form Tricep in August 2010. The three men had been clients of Griffin at the prior firm, and Griffin led two of them to believe that their funds were still being invested through that firm or through a new division of the firm that Griffin was heading. One had $100,000 of his funds deposited into the Tricep business account without his knowledge. He received checks totaling $39,000 from Griffin before Tricep ran out of funds, for a net loss of $61,000. Griffin told the other three victims that he would be investing on their behalf through hedge fund-type investments or day trading. The other two men each invested $25,000 and received no returns. The woman invested $324,000 and received $27,000 in checks from Griffin, for a net loss of $297,000. Griffin transferred funds from the Tricep business account into his personal account and used the Tricep account to make numerous ATM withdrawals and retail purchases. He transferred $25,000 from Tricep to a firm that engaged in real estate flipping, but did not record that as an investment for Tricep. He used another $120,000 – which he first transferred to his personal account – to open an account with a day trading firm that prohibits members from trading other investors’ money. By May 2011, Tricep was out of funds. Griffin’s registration as an agent of a broker-dealer was revoked in 2013 by the Bureau of Securities and he was also permanently barred him from associating with any broker-dealer or investment adviser conducting business in New Jersey. It also assessed a $125,000 civil penalty against Griffin and Tricep. Investors who believe they have been defrauded are urged to contact the Division of Criminal Justice toll free at 866-TIPS-4CJ (866-847-7425) or the Bureau of Securities toll free at 866-I-INVEST (866-446-8378). Griffin represented himself at trial.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 16 - JUNE 22 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Keep up the pace. There will be little chance of boredom setting in as enthusiasm and drive will keep you well-suited to meeting deadlines and timetables. Don’t expect everyone to share your passion for a subject. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): There’s no ship like friendship. You should feel honored when someone approaches you for advice or a favor because that means they trust and respect you. Be objective even when it doesn’t fit your agenda. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Following your heart could lead you astray. Use logic and reason to draw your conclusions as emotions could ultimately be your enemy today. Try to devote attention to activities that have educational value. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put a little spring in your step. Some excess energy may make it a little easier to get motivated and get things done in the week ahead. Hold off on the urge to make changes as conditions may shift by the middle of the week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pay attention. Avoid miscommunication and confusion by making sure everyone is on the same page before a new project begins. Careful planning will be the key factor that decides if you achieve success or failure this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Contents may explode under pressure. It may be better to confide your troubles to a friend or confidant rather than keeping them bottled up inside. Look on the bright side as you may be taking things too seriously.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Make it so. You are tuned in to what impresses others or makes them happy so all that is left is to do it if that is your goal. Conventional wisdom may not work when a problem requires a creative solution. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Get off to a good start. First impressions may be especially important this week so be at your best when meeting new people. Mind your manners as it may be hard to tell when being too casual is inappropriate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Whatever floats your boat. Finish off the weekend by doing the things that you want to do, not what you have to do. You may be fascinated by things that you would normally find strange or unusual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some issues may fall into a gray area. It may be difficult to reach a conclusion as the facts surrounding an issue may be clouded or distorted. Hold off on making decisions until more information is available. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Find your center. Tranquility and relaxation are the keys to easing tensions and recharging your batteries for the long week ahead. Don’t worry about things today that you can put off until tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Stay in your lane. Work toward the goal you set out to accomplish as distractions may conspire to derail your progress. Stick with those who share your opinions as differing points of view will create friction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Spring In Summer: You Can Enjoy These Irresistible Hors D’oeuvres All Year Long By Wolfgang Puck One of the great pleasures of cooking and eating during warmer weather is relaxing with family and friends over a glass of wine and homemade hors d’oeuvres. In fact, the term “hors d’oeuvre” itself nicely sums up the experience. Literally meaning “outside the work” in French, hors d’oeuvre refers to dishes that stand apart from the rest of a meal; a special little respite enjoyed for itself alone. Isn’t that just the sort of dish you want to enjoy with drinks on a lazy weekend? With that kind of occasion in mind, I’d like to share one of my longtime favorite recipes for delicious little bites of food you can easily make from scratch in barely half an hour: my eggplant and goat cheese crisps. Now, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea that the word “crisps” here in any way refers to the British term for potato chips, or for anything resembling a cracker. But it does perfectly describe the end result of these beautiful little mouthfuls of sliced eggplant that make the perfect accompaniment to a glass of chilled rose or sparkling wine. I also like to serve it with a simple dip, such as pureed roasted red bell pepper mixed with a little mayonnaise or a warm fresh tomato sauce seasoned with garlic and crushed red pepper f lakes. While making this hors d’oeuvre is a fairly simple process, it’s even easier than it sounds. And after you’ve done it even once, you’ll find the work goes even more quickly the next time. You’ll definitely want to make them again, too, as they are suited for all sorts of appealing variations. Instead of the black olives in the filling, try pitted green ones; or substitute roasted red bell peppers, minced chile pepper or fresh herbs; or even add some thinly sliced and then chopped ham such as prosciutto or Black Forest ham. You could even substitute the extra-crunchy coarse Japanese-style dried breadcrumbs called panko for the fine fresh crumbs. You don’t even have to serve this as an hors-d’oeuvre, either. One of my favorite ways to eat the crisps is scattered over fresh salad greens, tossed with a basic vinaigrette made with aged balsamic or sherry vinegar and olive oil. In fact, any way that you enjoy this dish, you’ll feel as if you’ve pressed the “pause” button on your daily life. Isn’t that just what you’d expect from an hors d’oeuvre? EG GPL A N T A N D G OAT C H E E SE CRISPS Makes 24 pieces 4 or 5 medium-sized Japanese eggplants or other long, slender eggplants, 7 to 8 inches (17.5 to 20 cm) long, about 3/4 pound (375 g) total weight, left unpeeled
Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) olive oil, plus extra as needed 6 ounces (185 g) fresh creamy goat cheese 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped pitted black olives 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose f lour, plus extra as needed 3 or 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup (250 mL) fine fresh breadcrumbs, plus extra as needed Peanut oil or vegetable oil for deep-frying Trim the ends of the eggplants. Cut each one lengthwise into slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick and 6 to 7 inches (15 to 17.5 cm) long. Select the 24 best slices, setting aside the remainder to chop up and include in a vegetable stew or other preparation. Lightly season the slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Working in batches and taking care not to overcrowd the pan, saute the eggplant slices in a single layer until tender and lightly golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer the slices to paper towels to drain and cool, adding more oil to the pan as needed to saute remaining slices. In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together the goat cheese and olives. Using about 1 teaspoonful for each crisp, scoop up the mixture and form 24 small balls, placing each ball near one end of a cooled eggplant slice. Carefully roll up the slice, tucking in the sides as you do to completely enclose the filling in the eggplant. Secure with a thin wooden skewer or long wooden toothpick. In a deep, heavy saucepan or an electric deep fryer, heat about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of the peanut oil to a temperature of 350 F (175 C) on a deep-frying thermometer or the deep fryer thermostat. Meanwhile, arrange the f lour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate bowls side by side near the stove or the deep fryer. When the oil is hot, one at a time, lightly coat each eggplant ball with f lour, shaking off the excess; then, dip it into the egg and finally roll it in the bread crumbs to coat it evenly. As you f inish coating each egg plant ball, carefully place each one in the hot oil and cook until deep golden brown, 30 seconds. (Take care not to overcrowd the oil, cooking in batches as necessary.) As each ball is done, use a metal slotted spoon or wire skimmer to remove it from the oil, transferring it to clean paper towels to drain. Arrange the eggplant crisps on a platter and serve immediately, leaving the skewers or toothpicks in if you like for easy serving as an hors d’oeuvre. Or carefully slide out the skewers or toothpicks if adding the crisps to a salad or another dish.
