By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – Students at Manchester Township High School will hopefully be able to enjoy some new upgrades to their school, courtesy of junior Rory Dunckley.

As an Ambassador Girl Scout, 17-year old Dunckley is working on f inishing up her Girl Scout Gold Project, “Hawks Pride,” which will construct an 833 sq. ft. paver walkway that spells out “Hawks” onto the Manchester Township High School Athletic Fields.

“We need more pride in our school,” Dunckley told the Manchester Tow nship Board of

Education recently.

As of August 1, she ha d al rea dy r aise d n e a rly h a l f of t h e f u nds necessa r y to complete the project.

She estimates the total cost of the project at around $9,000. Her fundraising thus far has brought in about $4,000.

N o w n e a r l y 11 months into the project, Dunckley still has a ways to go and she is asking for your help.

In order for Hawks Pride to become a reality, and for Dunckley to receive her Girl Scout Gold Award, she needs to sell approximately12 more 3’x8’ business sponsorship banners to afford her project.

Ringing up at $400 apiece, these banners will be displayed at the Manchester Township Athletic Field for the 2019-2020 school year.

I n the meanti me, Du nck ley has been using her talents elsewhere, repainting the snack stand tables at the field with a fresh coat of blue and gold colors; Hawks Pride colors.

Dunckley hopes to obtain the necessary funds to complete her project by the time she graduates in 2020. In addition to the paver walkway she plans to install at the main gate to the football field, she also plans to add a Hawk mascot statue

By Chris Lundy TRENTON – Social media. Political rhetoric.

People not interacting with others who are different. All of these factors are creating a rise in bias crimes throughout the state, officials said, and half of the offenders were children.

“We need to do a better job of confronting hate in young people,” Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said. The number of bias incidents last year - 569 - was the highest reported since 2011.

There were 549 reported in 2017.

A new study by the New Jersey State Police and Division on Civil Rights noted an increase in bias crimes since 2016. To discuss this, the media was invited to a conference call with Grewal, Zakiya Smith Ellis, Secretary of Higher Education, Kelly LeDet, Assistant Commissioner, Department of Education, Col. Patrick Callahan, Superintendent of State Police, Jared Maples, Director of Homeland Security and Preparedness, and Rachel Wainer Apter, Director of the Division on Civil Rights.

A bias offense was, for example, a violent crime, robbery/theft, desecration of sacred objects, (Bias - See Page 4)

Activists Ask: “Is Civility Dead?”

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - A pair of songwriters turned activists posed the question “is civility dead?” in a rather unique way. They brought their brand of street theatrics on Aug. 24 to the courtyard of the Ocean County Library in downtown Toms River.

Dressed in black suits and hats and taking the theme of a New Orleans-style jazz funeral as their inspiration, the duo joined 11 others for the 30-minute skit that involved a prop coffin, umbrellas and music.

Brick resident Dave Williams, the co-founder of the group Forward March said the idea was not exactly to mourn the loss of civility but to give it a very strong sendoff.

Co-Founder Jim Tobias of Matawan said civility “should be a two-way street but I don’t think we are seeing that lately in politics. We should be able to have a debate or argument in (Civility - See Page 5)

harassment and threats.

The officials saw these crimes as a foreshadowing of what is to come, especially if this upward trend continues.

“Domestic terrorism starts with bias crimes,” said Homeland Security Director Maples.

The most common bias crimes were on the basis of race or ethnicity. There were 307 in 2018, for example. In a majority of these, the victims were black. In previous years, Hispanics were the most targeted.

Also in 2018, there were 199 incidents based on religion (the most common victim were Jews), 59 based on gender or sexual orientation, and four based on disability.

Throughout all the statistics, going back to 2006, roughly 80 percent of the offenders were white. At least 73 percent of all offenders were male.

In 2018, half of the offenders were minors. In previous years, it was closer to a third. A quarter of all incidents took place at colleges.

For the first time ever, authorities had to include a new demographic: bias incidents in elementary and secondary schools. There were 36 recorded.

In 2017, there were four offenders younger than 10, and three victims younger than 10.

“Schools are a microcosm of our society,” said LeDet, Assistant Commissioner of the Department of Education. This is why schools have to provide a more positive environment.

“Fostering a sense of inclusion will help people finish college,” said Smith Ellis, Secretary of Higher Education.

The statistics for the state match those reported nationwide by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, The General’s

Why The Increase?

The report was unable to pinpoint the cause to the increases in bias incidents. One suggestion is that authorities are getting better at reporting them.

Bias attacks are likely underreported, Grewal said.

When people are targeted, they either don’t bother reporting because they don’t think they’ll be taken seriously, or they don’t feel safe coming to police.

That could explain why previous years are lower.

However, he said if this is true, and people are still not reporting incidents, then the numbers in 2017 and 2018 would be even higher.

Another theory is that prejudice and hate are normalized online. One study noted that when Russian companies buying Facebook ads inciting racial disharmony, bias attacks increased. The report read: “Scholars and experts have suggested several factors they believe are connected to the rise in bias incidents: social media, political rhetoric, and the rise in the number of hate groups. As for social media, psychologists have found that people, including perpetrators of hate crimes, tend to conform to perceived social norms and act in ways that they believe will be socially acceptable.

However, instead of looking to their real-world communities for social cues, people are increasingly seeking affirmation of their personal beliefs through technology, especially on social media.

But social media posts do not accurately reflect the full spectrum of societal views. As just one example, Facebook uses an algorithm to determine

what kind of content most engages users and then proliferates that content. Studies suggest that “[p] osts that tap into negative, primal emotions like anger or fear” perform best in user engagement, and thus are proliferated by the Facebook algorithm.

Facebook’s algorithm can thus elevate “superposters” with exaggerated worldviews, including when it comes to hate and bias.”

Politics are also to blame, according to the state study: “As to political forces, hate crimes may be more likely during times of political and social change.

And research suggests that extreme political rhetoric, which tends to be amplified during times of political and social change and polarization, may contribute to an increase in hate crimes. For example, another study by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism compared President George W. Bush’s speech six days after the September 11th attacks declaring that “Islam is peace,” with then-candidate Donald Trump’s call for a Muslim ban five days after the San Bernardino attack in 2015.27 The study found that “anti-Muslim hate crimes dropped dramatically across the country” after President Bush’s statements of tolerance, as compared to the spike in hate crimes immediately following September 11th, while such crimes increased from eight incidents nationwide in the five-day period immediately following the San Bernardino attack to fifteen incidents, including multiple assaults and two fire-bombings, in the five-day period following then-candidate Trump’s Muslim ban proposal. The study also noted a moderate weekly rise in Google hate searches following that proposed ban.”

Lead By Example Every community leader must push for equality,

because too many politicians are targeting groups of people, said Apter, Director of the Division on Civil Rights.

During the conference call, a reporter from New York Public Radio asked about two public leaders whose comments attacked certain groups. One was in Sussex County.

The other was Dan Leonard, the Beachwood representative on the Toms River Board of Education who has been accused of spreading hate online.

LeDet said that the state can’t force him to resign but otherwise would not comment.

“Anyone in a position of authority should cool the political rhetoric,” Grewal said. “If political leaders had more restraint, others would have more restraint.”

What’s The Answer?

The report delves into a number of ways to address bias crimes, although there is likely no way to prevent them entirely.

Law enforcement must prosecute bias crimes and the crimes must be easier to report.

Religious and community leaders must provide ways for their followers to meet others who are different from them. Parents and teachers must instill respect for others.

Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver issued an Executive Order establishing an Interagency Task Force to Combat Youth Bias. This group will have representatives from eight state agencies and be chaired by Apter. They will provide recommendations to the governor and attorney general.

A Youth Bias Task Force will study the roots of hate, evaluate how it is being handled now, and make changes as necessary.

Civility:

Continued From Page 1 politics about public policy but too often it gets heated.”

Tobias said that he’d like to see those who disagree on political issues “keep to the norms of mutual respect” and he pointed to Republicans and those of the extreme right as the main cause.

Tobias added that Democrats were being too polite in some of their discourse. “It isn’t even a case of bringing a knife to a gun fight. They bring a covered dish to a gun fight. We’re not trying to be nasty but we do want to be visible, clear and assertive.”

The two men have for some time enjoyed writing song parodies and examining various ways to promote their progressive ideology.

Williams said “I have only been an activist since early 2017 when I joined Indivisible NJ 3rd District at its first meeting. I’m now the group’s leader. I’m also involved with other grassroots groups and I am an elected member of the Ocean County Democratic Committee.”

Tobias has been an activist for a longer time and has been involved with the Working Families Alliance, according to Williams.

“Civility is dead. It is coming from the top down,” Joanie Parks of Waretown said. Parks was one of the participants at the event and helped hold the mock coffin.

Parks was critical of President Donald Trump. “He has no regard for humanity, not even his own family.”

The Manchester Times, August 31, 2019, Page 5 Fellow Waretown resident Roseann DePasquale donned a black veil and played a small drum during the activity.

Toms River resident Bob Riehl literally got a front row seat for the event. “I learned about this only an hour ago. I’m an optimist and while I feel civility is dead, I think it will come back. I’m sick of all the hate speech. There is no room for it in this country.”

Williams said that “we first started talking seriously at a “Tax Scam” protest which I believe was in early 2018, whenever the Trump/GOP tax cut came out. We started a kind of chain email with a handful of other people we knew, working on ways to do more fun/theatrical/wacky things than what you find at a typical protest rally or march.”

Williams said this is when the duo got serious about what they wanted to do next.

“We met at Jim’s house and talked about ideas. That led to the formation of Forward March, and we created a Facebook group and a logo and all that. The logo is now on a bass drum that I bought used for cheap, after we discussed the idea of having a “drumline” for protest marches as one of our projects.”

The two songwriters started discussing the “death of civility” concept during that meeting.

“R.I.P. Civility” was the group’s second event that they organized. “This is first event though that is in the spirit of what we are trying to do but we’re happy to perform at other protests in order to add our brand of irreverent fun to the proceedings,” Williams said.

“The first event we staged was an impeachment rally in Asbury Park earlier this summer. We had assumed there would be a rally somewhere as there were national coordinated rallies, but when we didn’t find one, we decided to host it,” Williams said.

The duo took part in a Trenton based rally called Empower NJ, a Lights for Liberty event at the ICE detention center in Elizabeth and in June a pro-impeachment protest in Asbury Park. On Aug. 21 they joined students of Toms River High School North

We’re more interested in methodology and tactics and finding ways to make the resistance movement more enjoyable and engaging - partly to attract new people to the movement, and partly to keep up the morale of the people already in it,” Williams said.

JCP&L Tips To Beat The Summer Heat

With the summer heat upon us, JCP&L is prepared to meet the anticipated increase in customer electricity usage that comes with a heat wave. Our system is designed and maintained to operate safely and efficiently even when temperatures soar, and our crews have reviewed hot weather operational procedures to ensure any power outages are handled promptly.

JCP&L offers some common-sense hot weather tips customers can follow to stay comfortable while using electricity wisely during this period of high demand: • Set thermostats as high as comfort will allow. Every degree a customer can increase the temperature in their home will result in using about 3 percent less energy during the hottest summer days.

• During sunny weather, close drapes or blinds on windows facing the sun to prevent direct radiant heating from impacting interior temperatures.

• Use fans – moving air cools skin faster, resulting in greater comfort on hot days.

• Use a programmable thermostat to keep temperatures higher when no one is home, and to reduce the temperature

before arrival back home.

• Only operate window air conditioners when someone is in the room.

• Keep refrigerators and freezers as full as possible. Frozen or cold items in the refrigerator help keep other items cool, reducing the amount of work the refrigerator has to do to maintain a lower temperature.

• Close rooms that aren’t used regularly during the summer, and close the air conditioning vents in those rooms, as well.

• Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work the air conditioner will do.

• Consider investing in ENERGY STAR® appliances or heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. JCP&L may offer rebates on these purchases and tax deductions may apply, as well.

• Check air conditioner and furnace fan filters. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing HVAC systems to work harder than necessary.

In addition, if summer storms result in downed wires it is important to avoid the area and immediately call JCP&L. If you see a downed power line, always assume it is live and dangerous. Report downed power lines immediately by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (888-544-4877). Extra caution should be exercised in areas where downed wires may be tangled in downed tree branches or other debris.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

TRENTON - As a result of a new law signed by Governor Murphy, more than 700 undocumented students received $3.8 million in college financial aid while schools in the 10th Legislative District are facing massive cuts to public school funding.

Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe (all R-10) note how spending is out of control and unfair funding of education in

Lawmakers Oppose $3.8 Million Aid Given To Undocumented Students

this state continues to hurt both the taxpayers and the students.

“I am appalled that our state rewards students who are living in this country illegally by giving them financial aid at the expense of our taxpayers,” stated Senator Holzapfel. “Brick and Toms River schools are seeing some of the worst funding cuts in years, forcing the district to lay off teachers and cut afterschool programs, while

Governor Murphy hands out millions to send illegal immigrants to college.”

In May 2018, Governor Murphy signed a law that expanded the Tuition Equality Act, which had allowed u ndocu mented immigrants to pay in-state tuition at New Jersey public colleges and universities.

In addition, the new law permitted undocumented students to receive financial aid and as a result in the 2018-19 school year,

NJ To Receive $10.8 Million For Maternity Programs

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that sets national health policy, and Cory Booker announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services $10,821,021 for its Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program services to women during pregnancy and to parents with young children.

“Home visitations by nurses, social workers and other professionals are proven to improve the prenatal health, development, education and economic self-sufficiency of low-income children and families,” said

Sen. Menendez, who was a key architect of the program. “This funding will go a long way to help us build upon proven programs in New Jersey that are already helping children in at-risk households.”

“Providing pregnant women and new parents with additional support and resources ensures that babies are born healthy and parents learn to provide the care their child needs to thrive,” said Sen. Booker. “This funding will help expand a proven program that supports families in need and will make a lasting difference in the lives of many New Jersey families.”

Through MIECHV, nurses, social workers, or other professionals visit at-risk families in their homes to evaluate their

living situations and provide information on resources available to improve the health, educational, and economic opportunities for at-risk children. Resources include health care, early education, parenting skills, child abuse prevention, and nutrition education or assistance.

Sen. Menendez is the Senate champion of the MIECHV program and led the charge for a five-year reauthorization in 2017 to ensure families across the nation continue to receive services from this important program. In New Jersey, all twenty-one counties are served by this program Throughout his career, Sen. Menendez has supported legislation to support mothers and families.

the state awarded $3.8 million to 749 undocumented students.

“New Jersey is a diverse and welcoming state but we cannot stand by and watch as illegal immigrants are rewarded and law-abiding, taxpaying families are stuck with the tab for the Governor’s liberal agenda yet again,” said Assemblyman McGuckin. “The families in our district cannot afford it and neither can our public schools who have

been punished enough.”

The New Jersey Tuition Aid Grant program determines awards for the NJ Stars and NJ Stars II scholarship programs and $3.5 million of the aid awarded to the undocumented students was used from these programs. Assemblyman Dave Wolfe was a pr imary sponsor of the bill that created the NJ Stars scholarship program which covers the cost of tuition at New Jersey community

colleges for students who rank in the top 15 of their high school class.

“It is unfortunate that the majority of the funds given to these undocumented students have come from the NJ Stars program,” added Assemblyman Wolfe. “Any money that is available should only be awarded to students who are living in this country legally not to undocumented students being used as a political statement.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eatured L etter Working Together, We Can End Hunger in Our Community Tonight in New Jersey, children will go to bed hungry.

Contrary to popular notions about hunger in America, most are not homeless. In fact, most New Jersey families that struggle to put food on the table live in households that have at least one working adult.

In Monmouth County, where I live, and in neighboring Ocean County, one in ten residents don’t know where their next meal will come from, let alone whether if it will be nutritious. One in seven of those ten are children. The anxiety and fear of not knowing is what social services agencies call “food insecurity.”

That is why I am beginning a new chapter in my life: leading the effort to end hunger in our community as Chief Executive Officer of Fulfill, formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Fulfill aims to not only help our neighbors experiencing food insecurity today, but to provide them with the resources to become self-sufficient for tomorrow. I am excited join a team of 50 employees and 1,400 volunteers whose mission is to “shorten the line” of those in our communities who are hungry.

In decades of serving as an elected official and as a federal and state prosecutor, I have seen firsthand that government is ill-equipped to solve complex problems like widespread hunger and food insecurity. Even when solutions are conceivable, they are often rarely achievable, partly because of politics, but chiefly because governmental solutions are

simply enormously expensive…and because government is the proverbial ocean liner that changes course too slowly and often too late.

Fulfill’s mission is to identify and develop comprehensive solutions to the range of problems that lead to hunger and food insecurity in the first place. Of course, we distribute food to those who need it, but our overarching goal is to help those in need get to a place where they can get back on their feet for good.

Fulfill provides 13.2 million meals annually through a network of over 300 food pantries and soup kitchens in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. We also “fulfill” needs such as job training, helping file tax returns, finding access to health insurance, job training and gaining access to services that help families eliminate their food insecurity. For example, through our culinary art training school, Fulfill has graduated 389 trainees.

When I was Lieutenant Governor, I visited a food pantry and met a woman who proudly told me her daughter was serving our country as a U.S. Marine. This mother had fallen on tough times, she told me, and despite working two jobs, she had to rely on the pantry to feed her family. But what bothered her most - her “worst fear,” as she put it - was that her daughter would learn she was shopping at a food pantry and be embarrassed.

That’s the rub, isn’t it? Even as we struggle with hunger

and food insecurity, we also struggle with the stigma associated with having to rely on food pantries. But why?

If one out of ten families across the state struggle with food insecurity, these folks aren’t just other families; they’re us.

In the coming months, it is my goal to reach every corner of Monmouth and Ocean Counties to raise awareness of hunger in our own backyard and of the services Fulfill provides. If you are a business or community leader in our area, don’t be surprised if I reach out to you for support for the important work Fulfill has undertaken. If you are one of the thousands of people to whom I offered my cell phone number over the years, now is the time to call that number and offer your help to support Fulfill’s work, whether with a donation or as a volunteer.

As I begin this new endeavor, a comment that rings in my ears as a call to action was made by a school superintendent who was criticized for not closing schools during a snow storm. “If we didn’t open the schools,” he said, “many of our children would not eat that day.” In this day and age, that is not the reality in which we should be living.

Log onto fulfillnj.org and donate or volunteer.

Letters To The Editor Financial Security, But At What Cost?

We have so much to celebrate and be thankful for. A strong economy, a thriving stock market and continued low unemployment.

Trump Should Be Held Accountable Mueller’s testimony to Congress made it clear: it’s time for an impeachment inquir y. Hearing Mueller describe the extent of Trump’s crimes and corrup-

vinced me that Congress can no longer stand idly by.

Mueller did not exonerate Donald Trump - not by a long shot. His investigation found extensive criminal activity and resulted in 37 indictments and at least 7 convictions or guilty pleas, including Trump’s national security advisor, personal lawyer, and campaign chairman.

Mueller uncovered over 100 secret meetings and communications between Trump’s team and Russia and their cronies - and found at least 10 episodes of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump, in which he tried to bury the truth.

Obstruction of justice is a serious crime. If anyone else did what Trump did, they’d be in jail. Mueller

made it clear that the Department of Justice prevented him from indicting Donald Trump. That’s why it’s up to Congress to hold him accountable.

No one is above the law in our country, not even the president.

That’s why it’s time for our representatives and the rest of Congress to take action to hold Trump accountable by moving forward with a formal impeachment inquiry.

Doing nothing will only embolden Trump to continue breaking the law and will set a dangerous precedent for our democracy. That’s not the America I know.

Your fellow citizens are either demoralized or angry or both and they desperately need your ethical representation. Show them that their government abides by the law. Our representatives need to act or be upfront about why they can’t or won’t.

Take Down Flags For Families Detained At Border

Leah Wilde Howell

Ray Kalainikas Manalapan

Ta k i ng d ow n A me rica n f lags a nd stor i ng them until the American government ceases in its cr uel, hor rendous, and inhumane policy with respect to the children and parents at the border is a form of conscientious objection that is both moral and patriotic.

The garrison f lags at car dealerships and corporations should come down first, followed by the flags of homeowners, allowing only the f lags on government property to f ly.

When children are united with their parents, when the detention centers are abolished, and the private sector is allowed to help those in need will the conscientious objection come to an end.

Redeemer offers spiritual growth through the worship experience, music and youth ministries, spiritual education for children, pre-schoolers through 6th grade in the Sunday School program, as well as adult bible studies three times per week.

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?

There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined. Only then can medical professionals determine what would be best for you.

People suffering from knee pain often try a number of potential solutions before finding relief. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s where expert 5-star care and nearly 20 years of experience comes into play at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Knee pain patients are unique and suffer from a great deal of pain. They deserve and require practitioners who are invested in their case, who take the time to explain what’s causing the pain

and why particular treatments may work or not work. That’s the difference at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Five-star service and the well-being of their patients are the doctors’ top priorities.

At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient.

While these doctors do see many patients who receive injections to postpone painful knee surgery, some patients may benefit more from Cold Laser Therapy combined with physical therapy, or maybe acupuncture or vibration therapy. There are a number of possibilities and no one single solution to cure all knee pain.

So what’s the solution? Start with a consultation with one of these skilled medical professionals. Sit down with one of the doctors to determine exactly which approach would be the most effective in your case. Take advantage of this special offer for Asbury Park Press Readers: FREE initial consultations ($245 value) for the first 17 people who call!

Whether they tried a round of injections, painkillers, or saw a doctor and were told surgery is necessary, many people suffering from knee pain feel like they’ve tried everything. There have been many patients who have called Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation saying that they’ve exhausted all their options, but they may as well see if these therapies will help. They come in hopeless, and many end up having more success than ever before!

So, what is it that makes this facility special? It’s bringing together all the individual working pieces to provide the well-rounded, all-encompassing treatment that delivers results.

Acupuncture sessions take place in a relaxing setting. A Licensed Acupuncturist will insert tiny needles into incredibly precise points of the body, sending signals to the brain to release neurotransmitters that reduce feelings of pain.

These tiny pricks that most patients can hardly feel are awakening your body’s innate ability to relieve pain –all while you get to sit back and relax.

Osteoarthritis patients who receive acupuncture regularly may see noticeable improvements in levels of pain and functionality. Acupuncture is especially effective when combined with other treatment methods and may even improve the effects of physical therapy and other modalities.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Does Your Bff Need Hearing Help?

If you wear hearing technology, you’ve probably already experienced the liberating sense of independence that can come with it. But what if you have a friend or family member who’s not quite ready to confront their own hearing loss? Only a fraction of the millions of people with hearing difficulties actually seek help. One consumer advocacy group’s 2018 survey* cited as the top three reasons: cost, lack of hearing testing, and embarrassment.

Let’s tackle each one of them to help you help your loved one take action!

COST Today’s hearing aids not only deliver clear sound and easy audio streaming but — depending on the device — can also track brain and body health, automatically adjust to different listening environments, and more. They’re an investment in better health, but solutions such as financing options, potential insurance coverage, and diverse budget-friendly technology levels can make a difference. With research linking hearing loss to other conditions such as cognitive decline, the consequences of Procrastination could prove an even bigger cost. Our Staff strongly advises that you stay away from any mail order company that just sends you hearing aid devices to your home without any hearing evaluation/test. Imagine purchasing a set of eye glasses without the company knowing your vision prescription!

TESTING Regular audiological exams are an important part of hearing health, yet 30% of participants in the consumer survey went over a decade without a hearing test — or never had one. That’s a lot of folks potentially unaware of the state of their ears and possible problems that could be addressed. The good news? Hearing exams are painless and empowering. Plus, the earlier any potential hearing loss is addressed, the better it is for overall health.

EMBARRASSMENT People want to hear their best without their devices being obvious — but try spotting today’s near-invisible hearing aids. With styles that fit deep in the ear canal or snugly behind the ear, plus colors to match individual preferences, it’s easy to hear confidently and discreetly. Seeing is believing, however, so consider showing off your own device’s subtle fit. Also, your loved one may be able to test-drive some of our exciting — and inconspicuous — technology.

If your loved one needs hearing care, we’re here to help with compassionate staff and three convenient offices. Call us at 732-8183610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). Please feel free to also visit our website: gardenstatehearing.com. *Levine H. Sound Advice About Hearing Loss. Consumer Reports. June 2018.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Some Generics Not Up to Snuff

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’ve always been a proponent for generic medications because they are more affordable and supposedly contain the same biologically active ingredient as the brand.

But the generic industry is starting to worry me. The generic industry rakes in over $104 billion dollars a year from sales in the United States alone, but about 90 percent of them are manufactured overseas. We should feel completely safe about the medications we take, right?

The generic version of a drug is supposed to have only slightly different things in it, for example, the flavor, the colorant or the inactive filler. But the active ingredient is supposedly the same.

The problem is that United States FDA doesn’t have the time or person-power to fly over the world and inspect all these places prior to our country importing the medications, which then get sold to you without further inspection at the distribution or pharmacy level. What exactly are we importing?

This causes me to pause. The world is so different now than it was when I graduated as a pharmacist in 1989. Everyone is cutting corners, things aren’t made like they used to be. Perhaps this is also more reason to visit holistic practitioners who don’t order prescriptions right off the bat.

Here are some scary facts: 1. FDA visited an overseas facility and found out that the pharmaceutical company was hiding negative results from their tests, but because we had a shortage of that drug, we still continued to import it.

2. Our investigator went to another overseas facility and had suspicions that the company was faking and manipulating their generic drug data to make it match the brand name’s data. A warning letter was issued by the FDA

but importation continued. (Really, that’s it???)

3. One pharma company abroad diluted the main ingredient with something else, but made it just potent enough to pass lab tests.

(Isn’t that called counterfeiting?!)

4. Contamination is a problem. Case in point, one company was guilty of using dirty and corroded sterilizing equipment while making generic insulin and another drug commonly sold in the US to treat arrhythmias!

Despite all this, I still feel that there are more good generic companies than there are bad ones. If the generic maker’s facility is based in the United States then I wouldn’t worry because the FDA is routinely inspecting them. If you’ve been taking a generic medication and feel well on it, you should continue. There is absolutely no reason to panic or even question your pharmacy. They do a good job and when there is a recall, they are very diligent about quickly pulling drugs off the market.

Your generic medication may change from time to time. You open your pill bottle and the pill looks completely different. This is because the pharmacy is using a different generic. You will be told, or the pharmacy will apply a sticker that says, “This is the same medication you have been getting. Color, size or shape may appear different.”

This is a good time for you to take note about how you feel on this new generic version which may or may not have been imported from non-inspected facilities from China, India or other countries abroad.

I realize this is difficult to navigate, and for some of you, this is the last thing you want to hear. It’s up to you to decide what to do and how much you want to pay for medication (ie brand vs generic). It’s unfortunate that in the drug industry, like many other industries, profit is more important than safety.

Laughter Reaches Across Faiths

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Wouldn’t it be wonderful if people of all religions and ages could come together for a day to laugh, celebrate life and forget about their differences?

That’s just what happened on Sunday August 18 when Rabbi Robert Rubin of Temple Beth Or invited about a dozen houses of worship from Brick and northern

Ocean County to a “Solidarity of the Faiths” comedy show, held at their temple on Van Zile Road.

Vermont comedian Rabbi Doctor Bob Alper spent some 90 minutes gently poking fun at religion, family life, seminary life, pop culture, air travel, and much more to some 200 attendees, who could also sign up for an ethnic food tasting after the show.

“We want to have a good time, and have the whole community get together and celebrate together, in contrast to what’s going on in the world,” Rabbi Rubin said before the show.

Rabbi Alper said he no longer has a congregation, but when he did he would always weave jokes into his sermons.

During his performance, Alper, 74, said one of his idols, Harrison Ford, now 77, is

still making movies such as “Indiana Jones and the Enlarged Prostate.” A new movie in the Fugitive series is entitled “Dr. Richard Kimble Flees Assisted Living,” Alper joked.

He said he taught his cat, named Bob Jr., a trick: “feigning indifference.” Alper said the state of Vermont was independent for 14 years, but joined the Union to get cable.

“In the summer, Jewish farmers in Vermont drive tractors with Florida plates,” he joked.

Alper said that humor is important in life.

“When people are sad, comedy cheers them.

When people are angry, comedy calms them,” he said to the audience.

He quoted Maya Angelou, who said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Temple Beth Or member Noel Biller chaired the event, which he said was created because of the news of the day.

“There are shootings and misery in the news, but here in Brick we all get along, regardless of your faith,” he said after the show. “If we accomplished this, we have achieved our goal.”

Father Ed Blanchett of Visitation Roman Catholic Church in Brick came to the comedy show with six St. Vincent de Paul Society members.

“It was really great, the comedian was good at making everyone of all different faiths feel comfortable, and see the humor in our own lives,” he said after the show. “It was really great to be here.”

Father Gary Breton from Brick’s Orthodox Christian Church of the Annunciation attended the comedy show with eight members of his parish.

“It was a great show. As he says, laughter brings us all together and allows us to deal with some of the issues going on,” he said.

Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door for the comedy show. The price for the optional food tasting was $18 per person.

Rabbi Rubin said that after costs, the event broke even.

In addition to representatives from various houses of worship, also seen in the audience was Mayor John G. Ducey, Council President Andrea Zapcic, Councilman Jim Fozman, and Councilman Art Halloran with their spouses; and Township Planner Tara Paxton.

Today’s world is filled with scams. It’s becoming harder and harder to trust anyone.

A new assault on victims is in the form of Lottery and Sweepstake scams. These scams are becoming more and more common. They may come to you from social media, phone calls, mailings, e-mail and text messages-all saying that you have won money or prizes. The scammers may even try to impersonate public figures, police, FBI, Lottery and Officials. To make matters worse, they have also mastered the art of cloning otherwise legitimate web sites and social media profiles. So how do you know if your winnings are legitimate?

Scammers like to ask for up-front payment, such as taxes, processing fees, delivery fees, legal fees or customer fees to collect your “winnings. Any payment requested in advance should be a red flag!

The most common up-front payment request is a monetary transfer, because these are like cash. Other up-front payment schemes that are becoming popular include prepaid cards and iTunes gift cards because the scammers can access your balance if you give them the number from the back of the card or a PIN over the phone. Scammers may also ask that you send cash in the mail. Once you give them cash they are likely to ask for more and more. One trick the scammers use to entice victims to send more

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Taking Action Against Obesity

9/30/19

Dear Joel, I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inflated balloon.

My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embarrassed with the way I look. I no longer look good in anything, new clothes that I buy yet do nothing to change my situation. What can I do?

Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make. You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal training in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Both are at epidemic proportions in our country.

As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two organizations for people such as yourself and so many others who

suffer with you.

Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges. Another organization is Overeaters Anonymous. These are inexpensive ways of working toward having a happier life.

You may want to visit either as a guest. Weight Watchers has a philosophy of changing one’s lifestyle with a benefit of weight reduction.

I am not a believer in starting exercise and diet at the same time. I feel that your chances of sticking with both are greater if you start either one a month or two apart.

Lastly, as I’m sure you are aware, this is a chicken-and-egg story. It may be that you are unhappy or depressed and use your obesity as a way of expressing it. In other words, it is the opposite of what you describe. I wish you well.

Around The Jersey Shore Restaurants Sought For TV Show

By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – A casting announcement has gone out to all “frustrated restaurant owners” who want their chef to have a three-day boot camp to get back on their A game.

Although the production company didn’t want its name in the announcement, JerseyShoreOnline.com has researched the production company and found that they have been involved in many well-made shows.

The casting announcement is as follows: CA L L I NG A L L F RUST R AT E D RESTAURANT OWNERS! Has your chef fallen off their game? Do you need someone to whip them back into shape?

An award-winning production company and major cable network are partnering with a world-renowned chef and culinary director of a global hospitality group for an upcoming television pilot. In this exciting new project, we’ve designed a three-day

chef boot camp in NYC to take underperforming chefs from F to A game. Combining state-of-the-art training and a little tough love, this boot camp will revitalize your chef’s culinary prowess in order to win back your approval.

If you want to see your chefs return to their rockstar selves, see below for details and apply today!

The Details: Filming will require a 4-night stay for chefs and 2-night stay for restaurant owners in NYC. Hotel and ground transportation will be provided for selected chefs and owners as needed.

Chefs will receive compensation for their participation.

Participants must be available the week of 10/28/19.

Around The Jersey Shore United Way of Monmouth And Ocean Counties’ Women United

FARMINGDALE – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ (UWMOC) Women United is hosting Casino Royale on Friday, October 4, 2019 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Eagle Oaks Golf & Country Club located at 20 Shore Oaks Drive in Farmingdale, NJ. Sponsored by New Jersey Natural Gas and The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, the event will honor United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Past President & CEO Timothy Hearne, New Jersey Natural Gas and the Ocean County YMCA for their dedication and service to our community.

“We are proud to highlight the contributions of our honorees and all they have done to advance our very important mission to improve the lives of youth and their families in Monmouth and Ocean counties,” stated Lori-Anne McLane, President & CEO of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. “We are looking forward to a very fun, successful event with our dedicated community members, business and nonprofit leaders, and some new friends of our organization.”

“What’s exciting is that all new or increased donations and sponsorships will be matched dollar for dollar by the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, so this is the perfect opportunity to support UWMOC’s largest fundraiser and double your impact,” said Kelly Fliller, Co-

Storewide Flooring Sale 4

Chair of Women United and the Casino Royale Committee.

In 2017, UWMOC announced the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation $1 Million Challenge to help raise funds for the community. The Challenge will match all new or increased donations up to $1 million until June 30, 2021.

“Women United is a phenomenal group of dedicated women who are making a significant impact on Monmouth and Ocean counties. Since the group was formed in 2014, we have raised over $190,000 for our community, and this event will extend our reach considerably,” said Aimee Fasano, Co-Chair of Women United.

Tickets for Casino Royale are $175 each and include open bar, hors d’oeuvres and stations, classic casino games, silent and live auctions, and games of chance. UWMOC will also be unveiling the United for Impact Fund, a live appeal that will raise donations for the organization’s early grade reading program, which ensures students are learning, engaged and healthy over the summer months so they are ready for school in September. Sponsorships and digital ad journal opportunities are due by September 20th, while reservations are accepted through September 23.

For more information about Casino Royale and Women United, please visit uwmoc.org/ womenunited/events or contact Toni Pitts at 848-206-2036 or tpitts@uwmoc.org.

Vaccinations Urged Before School Starts

By Chris Lundy TRENTON – As families are preparing to go back to school for the fall, the State Department of Health is encouraging them to get more than bookbags and pencil cases before September.

Giving children age-appropriate vaccines will help protect against diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, mumps, rubella, Haemophilus inf luenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox) and pneumococcal disease, according to a press release by the state. In addition to saving your own child’s health, you are also reducing the spread of disease to others.

“August is National Immunization Month, which serves as a reminder to parents about the importance of getting their children vaccinated to protect against diseases throughout the school year,” said Acting Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “Making sure your children are vaccinated on time not only ensures their long-term health but also their academic achievement.”

Younger children frequently spread diseases to each other due to the poor hygiene of kids, like improper hand washing and not covering their coughs and sneezes. But these can lead to diseases more dangerous than the common cold.

As the kids get older, their vulnerabilities to diseases change. They might be more likely to practice good hygiene, but they might be at the age where diseases like meningococcal disease and infections that can lead to human papillomavirus (HPV) cancers are more of an issue, the statement said. Therefore, it’s important for older children to stay up-to-date on their vaccines. Additionally, booster shots against diseases like tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis might be needed since childhood vaccines may wear off over time.

Parents are urged to speak to their child’s healthcare provider to make sure they are current on their shots.

More information about vaccines, recommended immunization schedules for all age groups and programs that provide vaccines at no cost to children of low-income families can be found at the CDC website at cdc.gov/vaccines.

Sports Physicals Students interested in athletics should get

a screening to determine if there are any medical issues before joining in a sport.

The strenuous activity could be dangerous or even deadly for someone who has underlying – but unknown – issues including cardiovascular, neurologic, visual, orthopedic, general medical and mental health.

Serious medical issues can happen when participating in a physical activity. Concussions, for example, are caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way the brain normally works. Reported symptoms related to concussions include headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and blurry vision. More information on concussions can be found at cdc.gov/headsup/ basics/concussion_symptoms.html.

Overview of Lateral Ankle Sprains By: Alex Sliazis, DPT

D

o you know someone who has twisted or rolled their ankle?

Lateral ankle sprains are amongst the most common lower limb musculoskeletal injuries in today’s athletes and individuals involved in recreational sports and/or leisure physical activities. According to a 2019 consensus statement from the International Ankle Consortium, up to 70% of individuals have been involved in some sort of ankle injury throughout the course of their lives. The following questions may come to mind: What causes this high percentage? Am I at risk? What are my treatment options?

UNDERSTANDING THE ANATOMY The ankle is made up of three connecting joints:

(upward/downward).

The talocrural joint (main ankle joint) – consists of three bones: the tibia, fibula, and talus. The distal ends of the tibia and fibula (lower leg) articulate with the talus (in the foot). This “hinge joint” allows for dorsiflexion and plantarflexion movements

The subtalar joint – consists of two bones: talus and calcaneus (heel bone). Primary movements of this “gliding joint” are inversion and eversion (inward/outward turn).

The inferior tibiofibular joint – “the ceiling” consists of the distal end attachments of the tibia and fibula.

Ligaments of the lateral ankle (outside aspect):

WHO’S AT GREATER RISK?

HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP?

Gender is not a strong indicator for higher rates of lateral ankle sprains.

However, age and activity levels are more prevalent. Adolescents between ages 10 – 19 years old who are actively involved in organized sports or recreational activities are at a higher risk to sustain such injury.

Here is a list of the main chronological goals your physical therapist will follow for you to have a successful and healthy recovery:

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS • Pain • Bruising/skin discoloration • Swelling of ankle (greatest on lateral aspect) • Difficulty walking • Inability to stand/put pressure on effected ankle • Tenderness with touch • Stiffness or loss of ankle mobility

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AVOID TREATMENT?

GRADES OF LATERAL ANKLE SPRAINS / RECOVERY TIME*

A previous injury is the greatest risk factor for future injury.

Grade 1 – mild, painful and damage to a ligament or ligaments without causing instability at the ankle joint. Recovery Time – 1-3 weeks Grade 2 – moderate, painful and damage to ligament causing a partial/ incomplete tear and instability to the ankle joint. Recovery Time – 3-6 weeks Grade 3 – severe, painful or non-existent pain, complete tear of ligament(s) with instability. Recovery Time – 6-12 weeks

MEDICAL IMAGING / DIAGNOSTIC TESTING To rule out ligamentous damage or bone injuries the following tests may be ordered by your physician prior to or after conservative treatment measures: • MRI: higher resolution imaging- suspecting bone, ligament, and/or soft tissue damage

Calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) – usually injured with conjunction of ATFL

TREATMENT OPTIONS • Immediately following an ankle injury, the first goal needs to be focused towards reducing pain and inflammation. The RICE regimen should be established within the first 48-72 hours (RICE = Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation). Mild grade 1 sprains can heal on their own by using this regimen with inactivity.

Posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) – rarely injured, strongest of lateral ligaments

COMMON CAUSES / RISK FACTORS The mechanism of injury resulting in a lateral ankle sprain occurs during an unstable moment of ankle plantarflexion with inversion (downward/inward turn). Some examples of activities that may cause this instability: coming down from a jump or descending from a higher surface, stepping on someone’s foot, coming in contact with crack, hole, or uneven surface when walking or running, and wearing improper footwear for activity specific demands.

Research has found the following risk factors to correlate with lateral ankle sprains: poor-conditioning, over-conditioning, muscular fatigue, excessive weight and increased BMI levels, noncompliance with stretching and warm-up prior to physical activity.

Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) – the occurrence of repetitive episodes of lateral ankle instability resulting in frequent lateral ankle sprains. CAI is common for individuals who do not take the appropriate measures to address their ligament laxity and do not modify their performance.

*- recovery time is variable.

• X-rays: if suspecting a bone fracture

Anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) – most commonly injured

• Reduce pain and inflammation • Regain full ankle range of motion • Restore strength • Facilitate re-education of balance and control • Re-establish speed and agility • Progress to dynamic sport-specific movements • Return to sport and/or recreational hobby

• Medication- taking over the counter pain medication, with your doctor’s approval. Some examples include nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve).

• If weight-bearing through the involved ankle is too painful, your doctor may give you crutches to allow for a partial-weight bearing status (PWB).

• As you progress from PWB to normal walking, you may benefit from wearing a supported ankle brace inside your sneaker. A sample of companies that manufacture braces include: AIRCAST, DONJOY, and PROCARE. • Don’t be surprised if you are given a prescription for physical therapy services!

ALEX SLIAZIS, DPT Alex graduated in 2014 with honors from Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Health Sciences. He continued his graduate education at LVC achieving his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2017.

Throughout his graduate studies, Alex completed his first and last clinical affiliations in sub-acute rehabilitation and outpatient physical therapy respectively in his hometown area of Ocean/ Monmouth County. In addition, he practiced acute care physical therapy in a hospital’s Intensive Care Unit in the Greater Philadelphia Area. Alex’s passion for outpatient physical therapy services occurred after completing an orthopedic clinical rotation with Clemson Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in Charleston, South Carolina.

During the final three years of his college’s doctoral program, Alex was an active volunteer in LVC’s C.U.R.E. Student Run Free Clinic which provided pro-bono physical therapy services to uninsured individuals of the Lebanon County community.

Alex’s treatment approach puts emphasis and value on the importance of patient education and communication, hands-on manual care, and functional therapeutic exercise. He sustained two separate ACL and meniscus injuries playing basketball in college, therefore, Alex looks to establish a personal connection with each of his patients to drive an effective and appropriate patient-centered treatment plan.

Around The Jersey Shore NJ Awards Funding For “Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over” Crackdown

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – We all know the phrase by now: “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”

In an effort to crack down on drunk and impaired drivers with the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” initiative, the Division of Highway Traffic Safety awarded grants totaling more than $540,000 to local law enforcement agencies throughout the state.

One hundred and ten law enforcement agencies in NJ received funds to staff saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints during the campaign, which runs from August 16 through September 3.

In Ocean County, three $5,500 grants were awarded to Berkeley Township, Jackson Township and Seaside Heights. In Monmouth County, five $5,500 grants were awarded to Allentown, Brielle, Eatontown, Middletown, and Howell.

More than 300 additional agencies, including the New Jersey State Police, are expected to join the annual statewide traffic safety effort aimed at reducing highway crashes.

“The risks of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol are enormous and the consequences are tragic,” said Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “With rideshare apps and

other forms of public transportation readily available, there’s no excuse for anyone to get behind the wheel impaired.”

Statistics show that in 2017, driving while under the influence of either alcohol or drugs was a contributing factor in more than 25 percent of the 591 fatal crashes that occurred on New Jersey roadways. Those 158 alcohol/ drug-related crashes killed 174 people.

During a five-year period between 2013 and 2017, 678 individuals were killed in alcohol-related crashes in the state.

“Impaired driving remains one of the biggest traffic safety threats in New Jersey and combatting it is a year-round priority in our state,” said Eric Heitmann, Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety. “As we head into the final weeks of summer and the busy Labor Day driving weekend, our officers will be stepping up those efforts, working longer hours and increasing sobriety checks to keep intoxicated drivers off the road. If you’re out there driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the odds are we’re going to stop you and arrest you.”

Last year, the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign yielded over 1,196 impaired driving arrests, 4,764 speeding summonses, and 3,194 seat belt citations.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Add A Touch Of Southern Hospitality To This Summer Meal

By Wolfgang Puck We’re in the middle of the best season for eating with our hands! Just think about it.

Whether its burgers, hot dogs, ribs, fried chicken, sweet corn, ice cream cones or watermelon, summer often seems like the time of year dedicated to doing away with utensils.

Sweet corn may be my favorite food to eat with my hands. I’m always on the lookout for wonderful recipes to enjoy the season’s bounty of those ears of plump yellow or white kernels. It’s a perfect summer food; the juicy kernels bursting with sweetness that somehow miraculously capture the warm sunshine.

I love to boil, steam or barbecue whole ears of corn and serve them with butter that I’ve seasoned with fresh herbs, spices, chilies, garlic or citrus zest. Or I’ll grill whole ears and then slice the kernels from the cob and toss them with chunks of other grilled vegetables, pieces of fresh lettuces, and a lively vinaigrette to make a wonderful summer salad.

But as someone who occasionally loves crispy fried foods, I’m also a big fan golden brown corn fritters served in the American South. And I know that many other people are, too, considering the frequent requests my catering team receives at this time of year to include our version of the golden-brown morsels at parties we’re asked to cater.

So I’m happy to share our own recipe for summer sweet corn fritters. It starts, of course, with cutting the kernels off an ear of fresh corn, for which the recipe gives you careful instructions. Then you make a quick batter using easy-to-find ingredients. The most unusual of these - though still widely available - is finely ground polenta. It is used to make the cornmeal mush of northern Italian kitchens, which I prefer to the usual cornmeal because of its rich, sweet flavor and the wonderfully tender texture it provides to the interior of each fritter.

Prepare the fritters as an hors d’oeuvre before a summer meal or as an accompaniment to the main course, whether it’s something cooked on the grill or indoors.

Once you’re familiar with the recipe, feel free to start varying it, adding minced fresh chilies or your favorite herbs or spices to the batter; or even a little crumbled crispy bacon or minced smoked ham.

However you may vary the recipe, there’s one more thing that really makes it ideal for summer. Once the fritters have cooled just a little so you can pick them up gingerly, they’re perfect for eating by hand.

SUMMER SWEET CORN FRITTERS Makes about 4 dozen Vegetable oil, for deep-frying 1 large ear fresh sweet corn

2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup (125 mL) buttermilk 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) finely ground yellow polenta 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 2 teaspoons kosher salt Dipping sauce, optional Fill an electric thermostat-controlled deep fryer with oil, or pour about 2 inches (5 cm) of oil into a deep heavy cast-iron skillet on your stovetop. Heat the oil to 365 F (185 C) on the deep fryer’s thermostat or on a deep-frying thermometer. Also preheat the oven to 300 F (150 C) and place a wire rack on a baking sheet in the oven.

Meanwhile, prepare the fritter mixture, starting with the fresh sweet corn. Remove the husks and all traces of silk from the ear of corn. Then, working on a slip-resistant work surface, use your non-dominant hand to hold the corn by its stem end, steadying it on the work surface at a 45-degree angle, with its other end point away from you and resting on the work surface. With your other hand holding a sharp knife, cut the kernels from the ear several rows at a time by cutting away from yourself downward along the ear and parallel to the cob. After each cut, rotate the ear slightly so that more kernels are exposed to cut. Transfer all the kernels to a mixing bowl.

Add the eggs, buttermilk, milk and melted butter to the corn kernels. Stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.

Set aside.

In another mixing bowl, combine the polenta, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir with a whisk until thoroughly combined.

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients.

Stir just until thoroughly combined, with no dry streaks.

As soon as the oil reaches the target frying temperature, use a tablespoon to scoop up the batter in heaping spoonfuls, very carefully dropping each into the oil near the surface and working in batches so you don’t overcrowd the oil. Cook the fritters until they are evenly deep golden brown, about 4 minutes, using a wire skimmer or slotted metal spoon to turn them over occasionally.

Use the wire skimmer or slotted spoon to remove each fritter, sprinkling it with some salt as it comes out, and drain on paper towels. Continue frying the remaining batter, while transferring the drained fritters to the wire rack on the baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm and crispy.

When all the fritters are done, transfer them to a plate or basket and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
