Brick Applies For Full Day Preschool Funding

By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – Residents from six senior communities convened at the YingHua International School in Kingston, NJ to celebrate International Peace Day by creating a giant, human peace sign.

The senior residents from the Brandywine Living communities, joined forces with the YingHua school, a non-profit, independent, Chinese-English dual language immersion school for the event.

“Our residents love connecting with the younger generation,” said Stephanie Gaber, Escapades Producer at Brandywine Living at Princeton. “Participating in events like International Peace Day enable our residents to build relationships with youth and teach them lessons of acceptance and growth. Watching both generations interact is a truly rewarding and mutually beneficial experience.”

International Peace Day, also known as World Peace Day, is celebrated on September 21 “as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals –Photos courtesy Brandywine Living of peace, both within and among all Residents from the Brandywine Living communities nations and peoples,” according to and students at the YingHua school formed a human the United Nations. peace sign for International Peace Day.

By Judy SmestadNunn BRICK - The school district has the opportunity to expand its preschool for four year olds, which would bring general education students together with special education students through a grant being offered by the New Jersey Department of Education.

“This was something that was very quick and sudden,” said Superintendent Gerald Dalton during the most recent Board of Education meeting.

He was contacted during the end of the summer by the Depar tment of Education, informing him about the availability of the Preschool Expansion Grant for certain school districts.

Dalton said Brick had to send someone in for

“The opportunity that we have here is, they would fund bringing general education students in to be in an integrated preschool setting, and for every general education student that we would have in a fullday program, there wou ld b e a r ou n d $12,500 per student that would come into the district,” Dalton explained.

The district already runs a preschool program for special education students, but this grant would allow Brick to expand it

Ocean County Prosecutor’s Legacy Is Saving Lives

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – When Prosecutor Joseph Coronato gave speeches about the opioid epidemic, he would open with st atistics on the nu mbers of overdose deaths to show people just how severe this epidemic is.

When he became prosecutor

in 2013, he said there were 10 overdoses in seven days. One was an 18-year-old girl in Brick who was doing 25 packets of heroin in the morning and another 25 at night.

Tr a d it ional pol ice work – ar resting cr iminals – wasn’t (Legacy - See Page 2)

Legacy:

Continued From Page 1 enough. It needed a different approach.

The different approach is what he hopes will continue after his appointment as prosecutor ends in October.

Since March, Coronato said he knew he was on borrowed time. The position is filled by the governor. Coronato is a Republican. Phil Murphy is a Democrat. So, Murphy has chosen Bradley Billhimer as his replacement. Billhimer is a local attorney who ran for an Assembly seat as a Democrat. He is scheduled to start on Oct. 8.

“I’m confident, in many aspects, I have made a difference. I think that we’ve saved lives,” he said.

Ocean County was first in the state in equipping police and school nurses with Narcan, the nasal spray that is used to stop the effects of an overdose.

It was f irst in having an emergency room overdose recovery program, pawn shop registry, and Blue HART, where addicts can come into certain police departments and ask for help without fear of arrest.

If he had more time, he would have wanted to see an expansion of the Blue HART program. There were plans to implement it in Toms River. The roadblock to doing Toms River in the past had been that the demand was so great that there just weren’t enough beds in rehabilitation programs. The Toms Riv-

er plan would have used hospitals for a brief stay, and then have follow-up care with recovery coaches. This program would then have been spread throughout the county.

He said there’s been a 20 percent reduction in opioid deaths since these programs began. It’s still too high, in his opinion, but it’s moving in the right direction.

The programs Coronato seems most proud of share a common element. They are proactive measures rather than reactive. Police generally are known for making arrests, not preventing them. But preventing arrests is the future of law enforcement, he said. These methods would defer people from entering the system and keep the system from growing.

If someone has an addiction, they might steal to feed that addiction. You could throw them in jail, but that doesn’t solve the addiction. It doesn’t change anything, and when they are out, they will likely steal again. Plus, being jailed r uins someone’s record.

It’s not enough to expunge their record, he said. Expungement doesn’t really work, because with social media, everyone knows you’ve been arrested, and future employers can skip over you.

This keeps people in the rut they are in now and keep them from growing independent of their bad habits.

However, that doesn’t mean you won’t be held accountable for serious crimes.

If you hold up a store, don’t expect leni-

ency, he said. He points to the county’s part in a multi-jurisdictional effort that led to 28 arrests and the dismantling of nine drug facilities.

And if you’re the one who sells the drugs, expect to lose everything. The county’s strict liability laws mean that they can take possession of and sell cars and homes used in the business of dealing drugs. The proceeds from this go toward Narcan and educational programs in schools.

“You go after the true predators who deserve to be in jail,” he said.

Due to programs like these, he has racked up a list of recognitions from various agencies, mostly for his work addressing the opioid crisis. However, he also credits his department for all their hard work. Technically, he said, he supervises 1,600 police officers in the county, and they’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with the prosecutor’s office.

“My heartfelt thanks goes out to them.

They really make a difference,” he said.

What’s Next?

“I have the greatest job in the world.

When you get the job, five years seems so long away,” but you blink and it f lies by, he said.

Coronato, an attorney, is weighing his options.

“I’m fielding offers from other walks of life. It’s important to find a good landing spot. I want to look before I

leap,” he said. “Tr uly, I would like to continue to address the opiate epidemic. The death rate is still unconscionable.”

He’s rumored to be a candidate for local political office. To this he just said that he would have to see what his ultimate goals are, and for that, he needs to sit down with his family.

“To me, nothing is more important than family.”

Peace: Continued From Page 1 Pa r t icipa nt s i n t he event for med a human peace sig n, capt u red with aerial photos. The Franklin Park Fire Department provided a ladder truck to get aerial shots of the formation.

“At YingHua, we educate our students through an inquiry-based model of experiential learning. It is important for our students to participate in intergenerational programs and be introduced to positive role models with members of the community,” said Felicia PanFea, Director of Marketing at YingHua International School. “Participating in this event provides a direct curriculum tie and the opportunity to lear n the lessons of peace and tolerance while experiencing the lessons brought to life from history with the residents of Brandywine.”

App: Continued From Page 1 the NJ Schools Insurance Group. The system has a toll-free hotline which are staffed 24/7 and then the tips are distributed to be investigated, he said. “ W hat eve r t he problem you may perceive - if you’re a student and you know of another student, or if you’re a parent and you know of a student, whatever the case may be, when school security is a threat...that’s what it’s for,” Ducey said.

We Tip could also be used by students who have a concern that another student might want to harm themselves, he added.

If a student repor ts a threat of violence, such as shooting or blowing up the school, the tip would go out to the police department, Ducey said.

If the threat is about doing harm to themselves, the tip would be directed to a mental health professional and school counselors.

“It’s a really awesome tool that hope-

fully no one will ever have to use - that would be the best thing - but I think there’s definitely a need for it and the fact that we have it here in Brick Township is great,” the mayor said.

Police Chief James Riccio said that We Tip is a means for people to report things they may not otherwise for fear of retribution.

“We Tip keeps the reporting person totally anonymous,” Riccio said in an email. “We encourage people to use the system to report any information they may have regarding criminal or suspicious activity.”

The system is desig ned to accept infor mation regarding any cr iminal or suspicious activity, not just those occurring on school grounds, he added.

The idea for adding the anonymous repor t i ng system was one of ma ny b ei ng i m ple me nt e d i n t he d i s t r ic t school system in the aftermath of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida in February.

The second technology tool, the “Recycle Coach” app, is designed to help

residents wit h recycli ng a nd waste disposal.

The app will create a custom calendar and reminders of collection dates, update service disruptions, and features a “What Goes Where?” search tool for disposal infor mation and collection requirements for common and uncommon items.

“It’s going to coach you how to recycle properly and the big thing is, we have recycling every other week and it gets confusing with holidays, or snow, or things like that, so you’re going to get the reminder (telling you) this is the recycling week so you won’t forget and have to wait another two weeks for before t he re cycl i ng happe n s,” Ducey said.

The number for We Tip is 1-800 782-7463 (1-800 78-CRIME), or visit WeTip.com.

Recycle Coach can be found on the Public Works/Recycling page on the township website or the app can be downloaded wherever apps are available.

Preschool: Continued From Page 1 and offer it as a full day preschool program for more general education students in a ratio of five special needs students to ten general education students, he said.

Dalton said the district should get the word ver y quick ly if the g rant has been awarded.

“If we do receive the grant funds, we may be having to move on this as soon as Januar y,” he said. “We have talked to other districts that have done this.

We are not expected to implement the entire plan in one year. In fact, they know that it may take multiple years to build up at that level of number of our students in the classes.”

The f irst year of funding could be approximately $375,000, which would cover any additional staff ing needed.

Initial classes would be held at the War ren H. Wolf Elementar y School.

It was not clear how general educat ion st udent s wou ld apply or be accepted into the new program.

Looking for ward, Dalton said there could eventually be up to 16 integrated classes available to the community.

“Being able to offer preschool to that number of children achieves goals for the community, and that we’re offering great, early child hood lear ning for both general education and special education students,” he said.

Research has shown that early intervention could result in fewer children being classif ied, so there are multiple goals for the preschool program, the superintendent said.

Without the grant, the district would not be able to afford the full-day preschool program, he added.

Former Board member Lar r y Reid asked if full-day preschool would be “too much” for four year olds.

Dalton said he did not think so. “In order to accept the dollars from the state it has to be a six hour program.

There’s cer tainly lear ning involved, but there’s play involved. There’s a lot of ver y str uctured activities that are ver y appropriate for preschool,” he said.

The dist r ict is required to follow a st r ict set of state g uidelines that i ncludes t i me for brea k s, t i me for nat u ral play a mongst ch ild ren a nd more, he said.

“We think of kids going to school and we think of ver y str uctured lear ning.

There’s down time for them. So, no, we don’t believe that it will be [too much].”

Reid asked if the preschoolers would be bussed. Dalton said they would be, and that cost was est i mated i n the grant.

Special needs preschoolers already get bussed , added Boa rd President Stephanie Wohlrab.

The next Board of Education meeting will be on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Professional Development Center, located at the Veterans Complex.

The grants were awarded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Community Plan-

ning and Development.

“This money will have an incredible impact in Bu rl i ng t on a nd Oce a n Counties.

From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON - The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) took significant action as it unanimously approved an Order opening an application window for 1,100 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind capacity.

The 1,100 MW is the nation’s largest single-state solicitation of offshore wind to date and is the first step in meeting the state’s goal of 3,500 MW of offshore wind by 2030. The vote occurred just days after Governor

Phil Murphy called on the Board to open two additional 1,200 MW solicitations of offshore wind capacity one in 2020 and another in 2022. These actions mark a significant leap forward in achieving the Governor’s vision to transform New Jersey into a 100-percent clean energy state by 2050.

“In the span of just nine months, New Jersey has vaulted to the front of the pack in establishing this cutting-edge industry,” said

Grants Will Support South Jersey’s Low-Income Housing Development nity. This funding allows those on the ground to develop and execute plans to provide suitable housing options for low-income families,” said Congressm a n M a cA r t hu r. “ Not only do these programs offer better housing options for the most vulnerable, but they give us an opportunity to empower those individuals so they can th r ive and become financially self-sufficient.

I have been a longtime advocate of the Commu-

nity Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which funds a wide range of housing and economic ser vices for low and moderate-income families, and have worked to maintain its funding. Together with federal, state, and local partners, I will continue supporting these programs that enhance our community.”

The following g rants were awarded to New Jersey’s Third Congressional District:

(3) Com mu n it y Develo p m e n t Bl o c k G r a n t s (CDBG): T h is g ra nt is awarded to states to address housing issues facing low-income individuals i n u rban com mu n it ies.

CDBGs fund quality, affordable housing options and promote econom ic expansion. Each year since being in Congress, Rep. MacArthur has urged appropriators to continue funding the CDBG program.

(1) Housing Trust Fund:

The Housing Trust Fund provides money to developers to rebuild or construct housing for extremely low-income families. A majority of the funds must be used for operation or rehabilitation of rental housing, while the rest may be used to assist with costs for fi rst-time homebuyers.

(1) H O M E P r o g r a m : Grants through this program allow state and local governments to fund local housing programs for low-income families.

Ocean County College To Receive Two EPA Grants

“This assessment is critical to measuring the resiliency of our coastal wetlands to flooding, and their importance to our local environment.”

The funding is a part of the EPA’s Regional Wetlands Program Development Grants.

One grant totaling $185,237 is for “Coastal Wetland Impacts and Services in NJ Coastal Communities,” and is to “examine the relationship of

nutrients and tidal wetland condition in coastal marshes in New Jersey” and to “conduct experiments on the effects of nutrients, sediments and hydrology to endemic tidal marsh plants.”

Another grant for $25,000 is for “Evaluating Coastal Marsh Restoration Performance,” and is for the recipient to “develop a method to collect data on the condition of

wetlands at marsh restoration sites to evaluate progress in restoration projects in coastal wetlands in New Jersey. The recipient will evaluate restoration progress relative to ongoing tidal marsh condition assessments being conducted in similar tidal marshes in New Jersey and will use these data to improve its restoration programs and practices to improve wetland restoration

success.”

The Barnegat Bay Partnership, at Ocean County College, has been working with the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary on the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Wetlands Assessment (MACWA), measuring the resiliency of coastal wetlands in the Delaware Bay and Barnegat Bay Estuaries as well as variables that are adversely affecting the wetlands.

Board Of Public Utilities Allows Largest Single-State Offshore Wind Solicitation Gover nor Mur phy. “We campaigned on rebuilding New Jersey’s reputation as a clean energy leader and that involves setting an aggressive timetable on offshore wind. Thanks to the Board, today we took another enormous step toward realizing that goal with the largest single-state solicitation of offshore wind in the country.”

The Board’s action will allow developers seeking to build offshore wind facilities in federal waters to submit applications for approval. The application window began on Sept. 20, 2018 and closes on December 28,

2018. The Board intends to act on the applications by July 1, 2019, which should provide sufficient time for developers to qualify for federal investment tax credits that expire at the end of next year. These credits could save New Jersey ratepayers approximately 12 percent of the total project cost.

The NJBPU will issue a Guidance Document as part of the release of the Board Order that helps developers calculate net economic benefits. The Guidance Document also provides the formats to be used for submittal of the information

required under the Offshore Wind Economic Development Act (OWEDA), as well as the evaluation criteria and the solicitation schedule.

The timeline provides key dates including the Technical Bidder’s Conference and meetings with Rate Counsel and NJBPU Staff. “(This) action marks an historic step in the implementation of Governor Murphy’s clean energy agenda. Offshore wind energy will help drive down our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gases that cause climate change while creating jobs and providing a boost to the economy,” said

NJBPU President Joseph L. Fiordaliso.

“The opening of the 1,100 MW window, coupled with the Governor’s announcement for the deployment schedule for the full 3,500 MW solicitation, provides unparalleled certainty and incentive for developers and manufacturers to anchor a supply chain right here in New Jersey that can serve the entire eastern seaboard,” President Fiordaliso added.

The OREC rule proposal was published in the New Jersey Register on Aug. 20, 2018 and public comment will be accepted until Oct. 19, 2018.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Is Your Child Having Trouble Communicating?

In all the excitement of Back to School, there is often a critical piece missing in the planning.

If a young child appears to have delays in speech or language, parents need to act quickly. New Jersey Speech-La ng u age -He a r i ng A s s o c i a t io n ( NJSH A) members recommend children, even those entering preschool, be checked by a professional before entering school if they have diff iculty with speech, language, or hearing.

This is especially true for children who, when compared to their peers, have difficulty hearing what is said, do not speak, or have unintelligible speech.

Regrettably, a national poll by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) indicated nearly 70 percent of audiologists (i.e., hearing professionals) and speech-language pathologists believe many parents do not know the early warning signs of com mu nication dis-

orders. Consequently, they are unaware of the benefits of early t reat ment. To lea r n more about expected speech-language and hearing skills between the ages of 0-8 years see: njsha.org/resources/media/bhs-month. php When a child has a communication disorder – a very common disability – he/she can languish for months in the classroom before getting help. Certainly no one wants children to suffer from learning problems, especially if they can be avoided with early diagnosis and treatment.

Check with your school district and/or speech and hearing professionals in your community to learn what services are available. Ensure that your child does not miss a critical developmental window and place him/her on a successful educational path this year.

Letters To The Editor Coastal Storm Research Has Problems On Thursday, September 13, 2018 I attended the meeting at Ocean County College regarding the back bay Coastal Storm Management. I would like to express my concerns regarding their current research.

First, their research on the beach and dune replenishments is majorly flawed. Weeks Construction/Dredging spends months pumping sand onto the beach and three nor’easters later the beach is gone (between January and April). So, they pumped more money into the project only to watch the ocean take back what it wants. There appears to be no attention paid to current flows or ways to stop the sand movement northward.

One might look at the south jetties of Manasquan and Shark River to see how the south jetties have built the beaches. I have seen the sand continue to fill that area into the inlets. Now, I am hearing they are looking to find sand to fill the holes that were created in the ocean floor and are thinking to use dredge spoils from the bay. Can’t wait to see the law suits from the environmentalists!

I am in favor of tidal doors at Manasquan, Shark River and Barnegat Inlets. I feel very strongly that this will stop the back-bay flooding by limiting the amount of water entering the rivers and being held in by the storm surges. However, one must consider these facts: 1. The flow of water down the rivers from the land behind the doors. Rotterdam had this problem. The North Sea storms didn’t get them; it was the backed-up river water. Pumps would have to be installed to remove river/rainwater flow out from behind the doors.

2. Speaking of flow, by placing the design presented at the meeting you are going to create an increase in water flow in the inlets on incoming and outgoing tides in the area of the piers. Restricting the flow of water volume through the inlet would increase the hazard of transit. Another point of proof to look at is the history of the Route 88 Bridge in the Pt. Pleasant Canal. There with an

Letters The to my Editor letter about the actions during his candidacy 8-knot current on manyTo days. riposte A three- to four-foot hydraulic step was created at the peak of tide change. Then added to this was the erosion of the piers by the current. Engineers dumped rock around the piers to protect the bridge from collapsing and created a larger transiting problem from the current. Today, it is an easy passage with the piers removed. The last question I have is how would a boat get in or out of the inlet looking for a safe harbor during the storm or the Coast Guard responding to a Mayday call?

It may help very little but it needs to be done: the dredging of the bay channels. I don’t believe it would change the water levels much, because water will seek its own level. In the bay but it would help in the flow of the water and navigation.

Storm pumps should be considered rather than the Perimeter Wall Plans. With the gates you would just have to remove the rain water runoff from the bay. The bay water level is affected more by wind than much else in my experience of working the bay for over 44 years.

Perimeter Wall plans have two drawbacks in my opinion.

1. They are made from concrete. Concrete does not hold up well to salt water, ice and the cold. They will crack allowing water in those cracks which will freeze then chip.

2. These walls have been known to break! (i.e. New Orleans) I can’t see the people living by the Manasquan and Brielle by the Inlet allowing a wall behind their multi-million dollar homes. Just think the legal issues/suits that the waterfront owners would bring against the project (i.e. beach replenishments, what was the cost for attorneys for that?)

Captain Robert M. Silva Toms River

Debate About Trump Continues With Civility I intended to write directly to Steven J. Baeli - the erudite author of the extraordinary

impeachability of Donald Trump, but my Google search was inconclusive. Therefore, I rely on The Brick Times to relay to him both my respect and my reservations. In an age of vulgarity, I appreciate his being a gentleman. In an age of ignorance, I’m grateful for his fine writing and thoughtful, if partisan, scholarship.

Indeed, I’ve learned from his knowledge of Constitutional norms. Neither a lawyer nor a political scientist, I’m at a disadvantage in a discussion of this sort. I read and attempt to interpret the raw documents (the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution and Bill of Rights, etc.) along with available supplementary commentary. If to a professional it seems I’ve been skimming the surface, it’s what ordinary citizens are forced to do frequently.

Incidentally, that inadvertently - denigrated “Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language” is actually a patriotic book in the sense that it contains the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution of the United States; all presidents and vice presidents…through its publication date of 2001. I refer to the founding documents frequently and additionally to Smithsonian Presidents, so it ought not to be assumed that a person without a law degree or related credentials is incapable of comprehending the English language. And those recommended civics classes are no match for what is happening on the political scene of today!

My other reservation pertains to that typical default argument of partisans I necessarily oppose, that is, accusing Obama of the very offenses the present president commits on a daily basis. My observations have to do with the sitting president of 2018. If Mr. Baeli had issues about Obama’s being a traitor as he alleges, I should hope he voiced them at the time; and voiced them as vociferously as I shall continue to voice my claims against Donald Trump.

We’re talking now about the Presidency of Donald Trump, a man toying with autocracy.

If I have missed any admirable

and presidency, or reasons I should not be concerned about an overthrow of Constitutional Law, I encourage Mr. Baeli to enumerate instances in a future article.

I thank him in advance.

The War Of Words Claims Us As Victims Does it take a war to separate the men from the boys and the women from the girls? Does it take a war that produced the legendary journalist, Walter Cronkite, of yesteryear? Does it take the war that produced the courageous journalists, Martha Radditz and Geraldo Rivera, of our time? And yet we are at war. It is a war-of-words against the President of the USA. For the MSNBC pundit to say “President Trump is worse than 9/11, which brought people together,” is ludicrous.

And why did a New York tabloid give first-page prominence to referring to the President’s daughter as “ghoul” because it rhymes with “girl?” Not to worry, this tabloid had to dismiss more than two-thirds of its workforce to restructure and stay alive.

This war-of-words needs to cease; it entertains evil. The world is watching as the media, Democrats and thespians make a fool of themselves, while taking the American people along with them.

The president’s personality and his past dalliances do not interest me. He has promised to get things done. New presidents have come and gone promising billions to this-and-that purpose and still nothing improves. How about infrastructure? Roads here are horrendous. Even President Obama giggled when he said: “there were no shovel-readyjobs.” He should apologize. It would be refreshing if New Jerseyans voted for a Republican Senator this November, for once in our lifetime, and help get things done.

Brick Utilities To Host Free Rain Garden Workshop

By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – Learn how to build your very own rain garden at this free workshop! The Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority (Brick Utilities) will be providing a community Rain Garden Workshop free to residents on October 13, 9 a.m.-12 p.m., at the Brick Utilities’ main campus, 1551 Route 88 West.

If you’ve been looking for new ways to conserve water, this is the workshop for you.

Funded by the Barnegat Bay Partnership, the program will teach residents how to conserve water, reduce stormwater runoff, improve water quality, and construct their own rain garden at home.

Not only this, but the workshop will also discuss the benefits of landscaping with native plants, and equip residents with the tools necessary to select the right plants for different soil, light and moisture conditions.

The workshop will include an interactive rain garden demonstration at Brick Utilities’ Customer Service area.

The Rain Garden Workshop is free but

space is limited. Sign up now! Residents can register by contacting Shari Kondrup at skondrupbrickmua@gmail.com or 732701-4282.

This workshop is part of the Brick Utilities’ Metedeconk River Watershed Protection and Restoration Plan, which aims to preserve the Metedeconk River as an important water supply for the region, protect and improve the health of the Barnegat Bay estuary, and address water quality impairments. The Metedeconk serves as the primary water supply source for Brick Utilities.

Part of the workshop discusses stormwater runoff, which is a major threat to the Metedeconk River, as it picks up pollutants from roads, parking lots, and lawns and carries these pollutants to local waterways.

For more information on the Metedeconk River Watershed, visit metedeconkriver. org.

Brick Teen Becomes Youngest Eagle Scout In Troop’s History

KARLA HOME SERVICES

732.896.6611 | 732.208.6999 www.KarlaHomeServices.com SERVICING JERSEY SHORE, CENTRAL & SOUTH NJ

By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – A Brick teen achieved the prestigious Eagle Scout award recently, making him the youngest Eagle Scout to come out of Boy Scout Troop 39.

James Michael Komsa, a 14-year old freshman at Brick Township high School, received this award on August 19 during a Court of Honor at La Bove Grande in Lakehurst.

The Eagle Scout award is the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve. A Boy Scout must move up in the ranks, earn at least 21 merit badges, serve in a leadership position, and perform a service project, among other requirements, to earn this award. Komsa is part of the 4 percent of Boy Scouts nationally to achieve this title.

Komsa began as a member of the Brick Cub Scout Pack 33 at the age of 7. He then moved on to become a member of Boy Scout Troop 39 in 2015. Over time, Komsa earned 23 merit badges and even completed a community service.

His project implemented improvements – such

as rebuilding the bleachers and constructing brass sifters – to the outdoor facility at the Manchester Township Police Firearms Range, where police officers conduct firearms training.

Komsa put in more than 130 of work to this project, with the help of 18 fellow scouts and leaders. The project was also funded 100 percent through an online fundraising campaign that Komsa managed.

He is currently a member of the Order of the Arrow Japeechen Lodge and serves as Troop 39’s Senior Patrol Leader. Throughout his time with Troop 39, he served as Patrol Leader, Scribe, Quatermaster and the National Jamboree Contingent Assistant Patrol Leader, and successfully completed National Youth Leadership Training.

“I like the adventure as well as the life and leadership skills that I’ve learned over the years,” he said.

Komsa is currently enrolled in honors level courses at Brick HS and he plans on studying engineering in the future.

Engine Malfunction Likely Culprit In Lakewood Plane Crash

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEWOOD – A malfunctioning engine likely led to the banner plane crash Aug. 4.

The National Transportation Safety Board published its preliminary report on the accident, which happened around noon at Lakewood Airport. The commercial pilot sustained minor injuries, while his plane, a Bellanca 7GCAA, was heavily damaged.

The unnamed pilot reported that preflight and ground operations were “uneventful.”

After a two-hour f light, he decided to return due to weather conditions. As he was preparing to drop the banner in the

banner drop area, he reported the engine responded unexpectedly, and was quoted in the report that “the engine continued to operate but produced very limited power while making abnormal combustion sounds.”

The plane impacted small pine trees and terrain, according to the report.

An inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration found that the plane’s left wing was separated, but still attached. Its engine was partially separated from the airframe. The wreckage was retained for inspectors to further investigate.

Managing Ear Wax Hold the Cotton Swabs!

Earwax, that yellowish-brown goo, might inspire an “Ick!” or two, but managing it the right way can make a difference in your hearing health. Earwax not only helps keep the ear canal clean but prevents dirt debris from reaching and potentially damaging the eardrum.

Normally you don’t need to remove wax; your ears will naturally handle it by pushing out the excess. When excess buildup gets to the point of causing pain or symptoms like hearing loss or tinnitus, it’s time to clean it out.

What are the dos and don’ts of ear cleaning?

DO use a warm, soft cloth – after washing or showering – to remove normal amounts of earwax at the outer ear, if needed.

DON’T use ear candles, which may cause serious injury and have not been proven effective in scientific studies.

DO gently soften the earwax with drops of warmed olive oil, almond oil, water, or a commercial solution to remove larger amounts of earwax.

DON’T stick cotton swabs or other objects in the ear; they can cause injury and push wax farther into the ear canal.

Sometimes earwax buildup requires the attention of a professional who can examine your ears, determine the nature of the problem, and customize a treatment.

If you’re experiencing problems such as hearing loss, blockage of the ear canal, or tinnitus, contact us for an evaluation at 732-818-3610 (Toms River or Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin).

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!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

6 Powerful Benefits Of Papaya Enzyme

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m sure you’ve heard of those delicious orange fruits called papayas! Papayas themselves have all kinds of health benefits. For one, they are extremely fiber-rich.

Also, the antioxidant content is extraordinarily high and fantastic to help with the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels and atherosclerosis (the build-up of plaque in the arteries).

Let’s focus on papain, the highly beneficial compound found in the leaves and fruit of the papaya. Papain is an enzyme which means it helps drive reactions in your body. For example, if you eat a hamburger, protease enzymes are secreted during digestion that help break down the meat, turning it into smaller protein molecules called amino acids. Enzymes that break down proteins are termed “proteolytic” enzymes. Papain, is also a proteolytic enzyme and it’s commonly found in meat tenderizer. Here are fi ve other powerful benefits of papaya and papain: Heal Your Skin and Wounds: Papaya fruit and leaf can both be applied to minor burns and wounds to speed up the healing process. We use a lot of triple antibiotic ointment in the United States, however, where drugs are not heavily promoted or allowed, families use natural remedies. As an example, in Latin America, Hawaii, and Tahiti, papain leaves are used commonly for burns. There are certain gels sold commercially.

Address Sinus & Breathing Problems: Papain can thin mucus, specifi cally by diluting sinus mucin, a glycoprotein found in mucus. In this way, papain could be great for helping you with chronic sinus

infections.

Reduce Bloating and Diarrhea: In a case study, a male patient with gluten intolerance added papain once daily, every day, for one month (while eating a gluten-free diet) and experienced better digestion, as well as improved stools, dramatically less diarrhea, and an obvious decrease in bloat.

Improve Antioxidant Capabilities: Papain contains compounds that make it a potent antioxidant, helping to protect your body from cellular damage caused by free radicals. Papain, in fact, is an antioxidant on par with strong antioxidant vitamins like vitamins C and E. Fight Cancer: The specific action papain has on cancer cells is by dissolving the thick protein coating around the cancer cell called fibrin. Other studies suggests that papaya juice has anti-proliferative effects which means it might slow metastasis. Finally, it can induce apoptosis which essentially, makes cancer cells run and hide.

Papaya is obviously loaded with medicinal benefits. I recommend it so long as you’re not allergic to it, to its skin or to the pineapple enzyme called bromelain (there’s a cross-sensitivity).

It’s easy to incorporate papaya and papain into your life. Supplements are widely available too. Supplementation might be a good idea if are supported on acid blocking drugs or PPI ulcer and reflux medications. If you sign up for my free newsletter at my website, suzycohen.com I will send you a longer version of this article, and explain more about this. I’ll also share my recipes, a papaya tea recipe and more medical information.

Put That Pep Back In Your Step

Dear Joel, I’m 69 years young and hate to admit this but I’ve lost the pep in my step. I’m just not enthusiastic about anything. Do you have any advice on how I can hit the reset button on my life?

Answer: Well the fi rst thing to check is your physical and mental health. If everything checks out fi ne, then you have push that reset button with all you’ve got. When we’re young, we have to try new things all the time, but when you get older it’s easy to get so comfortable with your experiences that you stop learning.

Force yourself to try a new store or take a new way home. The world is full of people and places to get your motor

running. If you are not a joiner, you can start by watching YouTube and the internet. We all have something that gets our attention. I always smile when I see those guys who paint their faces at sporting events. I can’t remember a time that I was ever that into a team, but I still like to watch the game. That’s the thing with getting older; you may not have that youthful enthusiasm, but you make up for it with real appreciation.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured.

The Standard Policy Michael J. Deem does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which i ncludes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident.

The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim.

You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Leaky Gut – What Is It? Do I Have It?

By Emma Stafford, RN, APN-C, ACHPN, APHN, Integrative Nurse Practitioner Hippocrates is quoted as saying, “all disease starts in the gut.”

How right he was! Getting your gut healthy is one of the most important things you can do for your health; in fact it is the gateway to our health.

Your gut wall is home to 70% of our im mu ne system. T he g ut’s pr imar y function is to protect your body from unhealthy and harmful toxins, which f low t h roug h you r i nt e st i ne, f rom reaching your blood cells.

Foods go f rom your stomach into

you r small intestine where there is a membrane that allows nutrients to pass through into your bloodstream.

Think of this membrane as cheesecloth.

However, sometimes this barrier gets compromised by ‘toxins’ such as antibiotics, NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen), stress, infections, dysbiosis (imbalance of good and bad bacteria in gut), unhealthy diet, and environmental toxins. This causes the ‘cheesecloth’ to develop microscopic holes. Now instead of only nutrients getting through, undigested food particles are leaking through from the small intestine into the bloodstream. Thus, the term ‘leaky

gut’.

T h is loss of i nteg r it y may go on to cause inf lam mation and ch ronic disease may develop such as Inf lammat or y Bowel Disease, (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) gas, bloating, constipation are most common. Other people experience systemic symptoms, such as, depression, anxiety migraine headaches, chronic fatigue, and brain fog. Others are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroid, and Type 1 diabetes.

The good news is you can heal your gut

by removing the ‘toxins’, whatever that is for you and replacing it with a gut healing protocol. Talking with a functional practitioner and nutritionist are good first steps to begin the healing process.

T his may include eating organic, adding more diverse and colorful fruits and vegetables, removing foods that may be causing inf lammation, such as gluten and dairy. Practicing meditation and exercise are also important part of healing. Healing the gut is about healing the whole person - mind, body, spirit.

Physical Therapy For The Pediatric Population By: Erin Sullivan, DPT, Freehold Physical Therapist & Facility Manager

Physical Therapy is not just for adults, children can also benefit from treatment.

HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP MY CHILD?

system. It is possible that children may be over sensitive or under sensitive to sensory input, and it is important that their treatment be focused regarding their specific needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Orthopedics Range of motion and flexibility differ from that of an adult so special considerations should be kept in mind when treating the pediatric population. When a child experiences an injury, treatment may vary considerably versus an adult, particularly in the event of growth plate involvement. These Injuries, and the natural growth and development of a child can significantly impact their ability to reach motor milestones. Growth spurts may also impact how and/or when they evolve their gross motor skills.

• Meeting Motor Milestones Children may have difficulty reaching their motor mile stones for a number of reasons. These milestones act as stepping stones for a child to progress towards more complex, functional activities. If children are delayed in reaching these milestones, they may also have difficulty participating in school-based, recreational, or age specific activities.

• Sensory Processing Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, or other conditions which impact sensory processing, can also benefit from skilled physical therapy services. A child’s perception of sensory input may impact their functional and gross motor ability as well as their behavior.

These senses include sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, vestibular (balance), and what is known as proprioceptive or the perception of one’s own body, detected by the nervous

A licensed physical therapist will take a detailed history from you and your child regarding current or ongoing complaints. Your therapist will then complete a thorough evaluation, often through observation as well as objective measurements to determine whether your child is performing at an age appropriate level.

Measures of joint range of motion, flexibility, and strength will also be assessed as part of the evaluation. The therapist will then discuss their findings with you and make recommendations regarding their plan of care. Your child may attend therapy sessions anywhere from once a week to three times per week depending on the outcome of your child’s evaluation.

Treatment will be specific for each individual child and will be focused on age-appropriate, childdriven activities with integrated therapeutic play to address the child’s goals.

WHERE CAN I FIND PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Pediatric physical therapy is available in a number of different settings. Children with developmental delays from infancy up to three years of age, in New Jersey, may be eligible for a federally funded program called Early Intervention. Schoolbased physical therapy is also available in some cases and focuses on the child’s

ability to access and participate in the school setting.

Medical-model physical therapy is available in the hospital-based, home-based or outpatient setting, like All Care Physical Therapy Center. Medicalmodel physical therapy will address a child’s global needs including the ability to participate in the home or community (due to injury or gross motor delays).

Many children may benefit from physical therapy on an outpatient basis, in addition to receiving school based therapy services. Parents are encouraged to discuss any concerns and treatment options with your child’s pediatrician or physician.

Toms River Schools Partner With Count Basie Center To Advance Arena

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – A partnership with Toms River Regional Schools will now allow Count Basie Center for the Arts to program, manage tickets, and oversee the facility on event dates as a presenting partner for the RWJBarnabas Health Arena.

“This is a genuine win-win partnership that is going to increase the efficiency and budget flexibility of our school district while helping to expand the vision of one of this area’s most acclaimed arts centers,” said Superintendent David Healy.

Healy noted that the partnership will help to maximize the arena’s potential as a desirable destination in the township. “Because of this arrangement, and with the support of the Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce, we hope to infuse additional activity and patronage to our downtown and surrounding area restaurants and businesses,” he added.

As a presenting partner, The Basie will work alongside Toms River Regional School District to book shows, secure sponsorships, and promote and manage programming. Events will be marketed under the organization’s “The Basie Presents” banner.

“The Basie is very much looking forward to activating the RWJBarnabas Health Arena

space with quality and diverse programming, and engaging families, seniors, and the entirety of the greater Toms River market,” said Adam Philipson, CEO and President of Count Basie Center for the Arts. “We are grateful to Jeremy Grunin and the Grunin Foundation for solidifying this relationship.”

This new relationship intends to advance the profile of the arena as well as enhance shows and events to better serve the community.

“This partnership agreement honors virtually all of our 2018-2019 board-approved goals,” said Board President Russell Corby. “It strengthens our budget, improves the capacity of our facilities, solidifies our bond with the community, and will enable our district to further refine its focus on student achievement.

At the same time, the greater Toms River area will be treated to an increase in diverse programming, and more exposure to the arts.”

Healy noted that it is a continuous goal of the district to maximize the capacity of the 3,200-seat arena. “An arrangement like this has been years in the making, and seeing it come to fruition makes me ecstatic for our students and for Toms River.”

Brick Beaches Now Closed

BABIES’ BLOCKED TEAR DUCTS

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, as many as one baby in five is born with a blocked tear duct, making it the most common disorder of the tear duct system in infants. “Nasolacrimal obstruction,” as the condition is known medically, is caused by blockages in the tear ducts that prevent tears from draining into the nose.

Symptoms include tearing, eye watering, and a discharge from the eyes that can be either watery or a combination of mucus and pus. These signs may begin to appear by the time an infant reaches three weeks of age. Because the majority of blocked tear ducts resolve without treatment within the first year of the baby’s life, conservative treatment is recommended initially.

If your baby’s eyes tear excessively but show no sign of infection, call your doctor or a pediatric ophthalmologist (eye specialist). Early treatment of a blocked duct may prevent the need for surgery. To schedule an eye exam, please call. When you need the best eye care in the area, look to SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. (732-349-5622). Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Ocean County Marks 100 Years Of Health Advancements

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department is marking 100 years this month since the H1N1 flu epidemic that wiped out nearly 3 percent of the global population in 1918, and is now recognizing the various achievements in health that have occurred since that time.

Over the past century, we have seen advancements in public health like the introduction of vaccinations, anti-virals, strain predictability, active surveillance, and more.

“One of the key things looking back is recognizing that we have public health practices in place today that those in 1918 never had,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. “Vaccination against influenza is an important step Ocean County residents should take to protect themselves from the flu. We recommend residents be vaccinated, through their primary healthcare provider or at any of our community-based clinics, seek medical help when experiencing flu-like symptoms, and practice frequent hand washing.”

Approximately 228 million lives would be lost today if it weren’t for these advancements

like flu vaccine, officials stated.

OCHD officials recommend everyone six months and older, and pregnant women, receive a flu vaccine. The vaccine takes about two weeks to develop and protect your body against the flu. Don’t forget to maintain proper hygiene by frequently washing your hands, disinfecting surfaces, coughing or sneezing into a tissue or your elbow, and avoiding touching your face.

“Each year, flu sickens many residents across the County, and flu-related illnesses were responsible for nearly 1,000 deaths in New Jersey last year alone,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Everyone must take flu seriously and protect themselves and others by ensuring that all eligible family members are vaccinated.”

The Ocean County Health Department also offers a series of flu clinics. Dates, times, and locations can be found at ochd.org.

For more information on getting vaccinated or for educational programs available for your community, contact the Ocean County Health Department at 732-341-9700 ext. 7604.

Parents: Be Vigilant About What’s On Your Child’s Devices

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Attorney General Gurbir Grewal is urging parents to check what’s on their children’s phones and educate them about the dangers social media can pose.

With the recent sting operation that arrested 24 New Jersey men for luring unsuspecting minors through social media, Grewal is emphasizing the need for vigilance on this new “cyber playground.”

Whereas child predators may have once lured kids off the playground or out of shopping malls, “now they also lurk at social media, where they utilize the anonymity of the internet to target the same vulnerable children,” said Grewal.

Predators can disguise themselves as age appropriate, and some kids may not be aware of whom they are really talking to online.

“We want child predators to know that we’re on social media, too, and that the next child that they may target may be an

undercover officer with handcuffs,” said Grewal.

The Office of the Attorney General and local law enforcement stated that they are determined to keep children safe and put a stop to predatory behavior; but they also need help from parents. “Just as you are vigilant about a stranger approaching your child in a park, you need to be equally if not more vigilant about the danger lurking in these new cyber playgrounds,” Grewal explained, noting that parents should be aware of the apps and technology that are out there, and what their kids may be up to.

“Talk to your children about social media,” he said. “Let them know that the people they encounter may not be who they initially seem to be, and warn them not to share personal information or pictures with strangers they encounter on the internet.”

Officials stated that some apps make it easy for people to communicate anonymously, thus making it easy to target children.

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The eighth film in the county’s Right Turns Series has been released and it’s targeting new drivers, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato.

The latest educational film in the series is called “Pulled Over.” Meant for high school juniors and seniors, the film highlights how to act when you get pulled over by a police officer.

Coronato stated that it is important to educate young, new drivers on what to do when stopped by an officer, especially as these types of police stops continue to end badly.

“The film highlights motor vehicle stops by some of our own municipal police officers. It walks the viewer through each stop with the goal of demonstrating how

a person should properly interact with law enforcement during the encounter,” stated the prosecutor’s office.

By teaching young drivers the necessary steps to take during a stop, it can help produce a better outcome with a safe and peaceful conclusion for both the officer and the driver.

“Sometimes new drivers do things unintentionally that may heighten law enforcement’s concern for their safety. The Prosecutor hopes that this Educational Film will serve to educate and protect law enforcement and drivers when somebody finds themselves – “Pulled Over”,” it stated.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 29 - OCT 5

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on kindness and generosity. Some people you deal with in the week ahead may be cranky or cantankerous. If you are ethical no one will be able to harm your reputation by spreading gossip and innuendo.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During the week ahead, you may learn a new skill or become fascinated by a subject that improves your life in some important way. Work conditions may seem restrictive or intolerable if you ignore the rules.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you focus too closely on the minute details you might miss the big picture. You will be able to break away from a rigid mindset after the middle of the week. Then you can easily embrace an onthe-job learning opportunity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Watching the world from an ivory tower won’t put the money in the bank. You must work hard and employ a realistic attitude to reach the top of the ladder.

Don’t become discouraged by criticisms in the week ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Understanding the facts may be more important than the facts themselves. A piece of news could persuade you to make a fateful change that could affect your financial situation. Remain cautious early in the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week to come you may worry about paying your bills or taking care of possessions. Fix whatever breaks and fulfil your obligations but don’t volunteer

to take on any additional duties or financial commitments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Steer clear of family feuds. Don’t let home grown prejudices or pride blind you to the truth. In the week ahead, you might be forced to follow through on your promises but receive little recognition for your efforts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Reverse the polarity. The upcoming week might teach you that happiness is just as contagious as negativity. Avoid starting anything of importance until the end of the week when conditions are more favorable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Meet challenges with composure. You may be surprised to find you excel at activities you never dared to try before. You may be miserly about pennies now but can spend more freely by the end of the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Buck up and suck it up. The first few days of the week may be filled with minor challenges and crises of conscience. Stay on top of deadlines but don’t take on more responsibilities than you can safely handle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stay focused on straddling the middle ground where you can be both sociable and businesslike as this week plays out. Since you may be thrown in contact with others who expect the best try to look your best.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Play now, pay later. You might have more interest in social activities than in work, but don’t ignore obligations.

Schedule important financial decisions and crucial business appointments for the last half of the week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen As Autumn Approaches, Start Planning Your First Batch Of Seasonal Fruit Fritters

By Wolfgang Puck

more matchstick spoonfuls, taking care not to overcrowd the oil. Fry, gently turning as needed with a wire skimmer, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels and repeat with remaining batches.

To serve, transfer the fritters to a clean, warmed platter and dust lightly with confectioners’ sugar. Spoon caramel sauce into individual ramekins on dessert plates, and pass the fritters for dipping.

SPICED APPLE FRITTERS Serves 6 to 8 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch freshly grated nutmeg Pinch ground allspice Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 1 large egg 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk 2 pounds (1 kg) red or golden delicious apples 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice Peanut oil or vegetable oil, for deep-frying Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Caramel sauce (optional, recipe follows)

CARAMEL SAUCE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 2 cups (500 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) water 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and dashes of salt and white pepper into a medium mixing bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.

While stirring the flour mixture continuously with the whisk, gradually add the wet ingredients, whisking until smooth. Cover loosely and set aside at cool room temperature for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and core the apples. Slice, stack and cut them into matchsticks about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick and 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) long. Put the sticks in a bowl and toss with just enough lemon juice to coat lightly and prevent them from turning brown.

Heat about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of oil in an automatic deep-fryer or a heavy pot on the stove to 365 F (185 C). Place a platter covered in a double thickness of paper towels nearby.

With a tablespoon, scoop up a heaping spoonful of the matchsticks, draining off any liquid, and place in the batter, turning gently to coat thoroughly. With the tablespoon, scoop up the spoonful of coated matchsticks and then use another spoon to carefully ease the spoonful into the hot oil. Repeat quickly with

Spread the sugar evenly in a deep, heavy, large saucepan.

Pour the water evenly over the sugar. Over medium-high heat, cook without stirring, tilting the pan gently once or twice to insure that all the sugar dissolves, until the syrup starts bubbling, about 3 minutes.

Cook at a vigorous boil, watching attentively, until the syrup just begins turning a golden color, 5 to 6 minutes. Gently move the pan from side to side, without stirring, so the syrup continues to color evenly. Reduce the heat to medium.

Continue cooking the syrup, reducing the heat slightly, until it turns very dark amber, gives off slight wisps of smoke, and smells almost burnt, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Carefully but quickly pour in the cream to stop the cooking.

The caramel will bubble up vigorously, so keep your hands well clear. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Whisk to blend. Add the butter and simmer 1 minute longer, whisking until smooth.

Pour into a heatproof container. Use immediately or cover and store up to several days in the refrigerator, where it will thicken as it cools. Reheat gently in a double boiler, in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat, or in the microwave.
