Family Needs Help; Lost Everything In Fire
Petition Launched To Keep After-School Activities
Coloring Raffle Page 7.
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – In the wake of severe budget cuts, another petition has been started by a resident trying to make sure kids don’t suffer – this time by losing after-school activities. Renee Godino created the petition calling for action on the part of residents to tell state leaders that Toms River students deserve more. “Toms River Schools are in a major crisis, we have had so many cuts already and over the next few years it’s going to go from bad to worse,” Godino wrote. What’s on the chopping block?

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A fire that started the day before Halloween caused a local family to be without a home for Christmas and beyond. The fire, on Oct. 30, destroyed everything at 149 Sherman Ave. in Bayville, said Donna Marie Barwick. Her brother, Steve, lived
there with her sister-inlaw and nephews. The sister-in-law saw the fire on her way home from working an overnight shift at a group home. They will have to knock down what’s left of the house and rebuild. They are now sharing a house with her. “It’s starting over,” she said. They have
nothing but the clothes on their backs. Some things can’t be replaced, like sentimental items. Some things are difficult to replace, like birth certificates. The good news is that there weren’t any lasting injuries from the fire, Barwick said. Her brother went back into the house to get the
cat, Bella. This caused him to suffer smoke inhalation. He had to be sedated and put on a ventilator. While in the hospital, it was found he had pneumonia. After all that, he didn’t find Bella in the house, but she wa s fou nd roaming the property two days later.

Adult Pot Use Could Be On 2020 Ballot
By Chris Lundy NEW JERSEY – After failing to muster the votes in the State Legislature, lawmakers are trying to have the general public vote on marijuana legalization. Senate President Steve Sweeney and Senator Nicholas Scutari, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued a joint statement announcing the introduction of legislation
that, if passed, would put a referendum on the 2020 ballot to legalize adult use of marijuana in New Jersey. “This initiative will bring cannabis out of the underground so that it can be controlled to ensure a safe product, strictly regulated to limit use to adults and have sales subjected to the sales tax,” the statement read. “We will have the Legislature
vote on the plan during the current legislative session and expect the proposal to be on the ballot in 2020, when voter turnout will be maximized for the national election. We are confident it will be approved by the Senate, the Assembly and the voters.” As of right now, the text on the ballot would read “Do you (Pot - See Page 20)

Continued From Page 1 The Red Cross has been providing some resources, and was looking for a rental where the landlord would be willing to waive the security deposit. The house was owned by one of their parents, and they didn’t have renter’s insurance. This puts them in a difficult position. They have two sons, 10 and 18. Christmas is coming up, which will be rough for
Change.org and searching for “TR kids deserve better.” This is in response to State Senate bill S-2. S-2 was fi rst proposed by Senate President Stephen Sweeney in 2017 and then signed into law by Governor Phil Murphy in 2018. The bill cuts “adjustment aid” to school districts that the state has deemed to be overfunded due to losing enrollment, including Toms River schools. In Toms River schools (which include South Toms River, Beachwood and Pine Beach), S-2 will cut approximately $83 million in state aid over the next six years to Toms River, including $2.8 million in the 2019-2020 budget. Cuts have already started. The 20192020 school district budget includes cuts of 77 positions. Business Administrator William Doering confirmed in May that they are removing 58 teaching jobs, 12 secretarial positions, six facilities jobs and one
administrative position. However, only 31 of these employees are being cut. The rest are leaving due to retirements and the positions are not being fi lled. In addition to these full time jobs, the district will also be cutting 55 assistant coaching positions and 10 percent from accounts for supplies and textbooks, Doering confi rmed.
them, and the boys have birthdays soon after Christmas. “I want to thank everyone for all the support and prayers and ask to keep them coming because they need every bit of it as they figure out what to do next,” she wrote to supporters. “I have gotten many messages all day and all night with neighbors, friends, family and the community wanting to make clothing donations, household donations and money and gift cards donations. All are being accepted
and so much appreciated. Thank you all so much for all the support.”
Other Petitions There were a few other petitions created to urge the powers that be to change their mind. Last year, Toms River resident Bridget Maillard created a petition to show support for the school district and urged the state to return the aid. She warned that future cuts could include athletics, clubs, and of course teaching staff and paraprofessionals. She was right. “Without these vital programs available to our students, gaining acceptance to a

college, the military, or the transitional career is almost impossible. And without these social interactions, the personal development and the reinforcement of life skills will become neglected for our students, making it extremely challenging for our students to stay involved. With that, the concern over drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and vaping becomes even more paramount, especially with Ocean County’s growing opioid epidemic,” she said. Approximately 16,400 people have signed the petition as of press time. To visit the petition, go to Change.org and search for “Bridget Maillard.” She also urged residents to reach out to the governor directly at 609-292-6000 or Constituent.relations@nj.gov. The 9th District legislators have created another petition to tell Governor Phil Murphy to reinstate the aid. That can be found at senatenj.com/saveourschools/. It has about 3,000 signatures as of press time.

Hunger:
Continued From Page 1 and its abundant feast. The Community Foodbank of New Jersey (CFBNJ) is holding several large-scale turkey distributions this month to help local soup kitchens and food pantries provide community members throughout the state with Thanksgiving meals, said Megan Annecchiarico, an Account Coordinator for BML Public Relations whose client is the food bank. “Close to 900,000 people in New Jersey do not know if they have enough food to feed themselves and their families each day. CFBNJ, New Jersey’s largest anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization, partners annually with more than 1,000 organizations in New Jersey Communities to help share the joy of the holiday season with those who might otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal,” Annecchiarico said. CFBNJ is expected to distribute more than 25,000 turkeys and roasters at 10 locations throughout New Jersey. Organizations that have placed holiday orders with the FoodBank will visit the designated pick-up sites closest to them to get roasters and frozen turkeys, which they will each distribute on their own schedules. The FoodBank works with more than 1,000 of these partners year-round, providing the food that enables them to serve neighbors in need in their communities. “Our community partners are the boots on the ground that help us feed struggling families and make a local impact on hunger,” said Carlos Rodriguez, President and CEO of the FoodBank.
The Berkeley Times, November 30, 2019, Page 5 “During the holidays, they allow us to share the joy of the season with those who might otherwise go without a Thanksgiving meal.” As to how big of an issue hunger is in New Jersey and at the Jersey shore in particular, “studies show one in 10 people are “food insecure” in New Jersey meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from,” Fulfill CEO and President Kim Guadagno said. Fulfill was formerly known as the Food Bank of Ocean and Monmouth counties. Guadagno added, “of that number, one in seven are children. In Monmouth and Ocean Counties, for example, that means 136,000 people go to bed hungry and 50,000 of them are children.” “We always see an increase in donations about this time of year, thankfully. But it is never enough to fill the need. Our Students Change Hunger campaign and our Fill-A-Truck campaign are just two of the hundreds of ways people can help through their schools or at their grocery stores. They can donate directly on line at Fulfillnj.org,” Guadagno said. “Fulfill is one of the 10 best charities in New Jersey according to Charity Navigator, and we are proud to be named one of the best for 10 years in a row. Every dollar means three meals for our neighbors. At Fulfill, $.96 of every dollar goes directly to food. So, we appreciate both funds and food,” Guadagno said. Fulfill has a Thanksgiving wish list which includes the most needed items of the year. Donations of manual can openers would be appreciated and non-perishables of low sodium cans of green beans, corn, mixed vegetables, yams, cranberry sauce, boxed potatoes, boxed stuffing, gravy, canned soup and broth, pie
crust and cornbread mixes. Donations of perishables sought include frozen turkeys, turkey and chicken breasts. Members of the Lacey Food Bank have been keeping busy with a variety of food gathering projects. Local Cub Scouts from Pack 35 were assisting them on Nov. 9 to pick up non-perishable food donations that went directly to the Lacey Food Bank. “This is one of our key collections as we approach Thanksgiving and the cold winter season,” Laura Caroccia, the food bank’s director said. The Lacey Food Bank also received assistance and support from the Rotary Club of Forked River who held their annual food drive on Nov. 23 at the parking lot of the Walmart store on Route 9 in Lanoka Harbor. “My personal commitment to the Lacey Food Bank is working toward eliminating the food insecurity that our own Lacey families and especially the children face day in and day out. To do that, we must not only provide healthy, nutritious family and child-friendly foods and snacks but also work together as a community to provide the means and support to break the cycle of hunger, vis-à-vis education and partnerships,” Caroccia said. Caroccia said, “as the temperatures cool, many find themselves having to choose between paying a heating bill or buying groceries. Food drives such as Scouting for Food and the Rotary Thanksgiving Drive come at a time when the demand for food increases and we are so thankful for their donations.” “Going into the winter, the need for warm and filling foods are our top priority and we are lucky to have so many community, business

and school groups that will add to our pantry. To put our needs in perspective, with more 240 families - that’s more than 600 people currently on our client list we need nearly 500 cans of soup a month to give each family just two cans of soup in their monthly food bag,” Caroccia said. “We have added extra storekeeper hours by opening on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon not only to accept donations but also to be available for emergency food needs,” Caroccia said. While state, county and municipal organizations take on large scale hunger needs, a family in Howell is doing what they can for the second year in a row to help feed the hungry through Thanksgiving food baskets. The goal of Grayson, Reagan, Mindy and Ryan Musillo is to amass enough donated food items to make baskets for local families in need. Mindy Musillo said, “we started our collection last year after being inspired by a fellow teacher of mine from Manalapan, Jamie Bruno. I wanted to try and help make this possible for other people who may need a little extra support. It was also very important to me to have my children aware of how fortunate our family is and the importance of helping others. “Last year with the help of friends, neighbors and community members we were able to create and deliver 25 baskets. This year we have over 40 families,” Mindy Musillo said. Musillo added, “the support from people around us - both those we know and others who have helped from the Howell community - has been amazing. The people receiving the baskets have been beyond grateful and thankful that they will be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner with their family and friends.”

DIABETES AND BLURRY VISION
People with diabetes can experience blurry vision that causes objects to look out of focus. It can be understated or noticeable, can change throughout the day, and can come on slowly or quickly, depending on the cause. Long-term uncontrolled diabetes can lead to high blood sugar levels that gradually damage small blood vessels. As a result of this condition, called “diabetic retinopathy,” vision becomes blurred. With shortterm blurriness in diabetics, fluid can move into and out of the eye due to high blood sugar levels, causing the lens of the eye to swell and impede focusing ability. It is crucial for diabetics to determine whether their blurred vision is due to short- or long-term uncontrolled diabetes. Careful management of your diabetes is the best way to prevent vision loss. If you have diabetes, see your eye doctor for a yearly eye exam with dilation — even if your vision seems fine. Pregnancy may worsen diabetic retinopathy, so if you’re pregnant, your eye doctor may recommend additional eye exams throughout your pregnancy. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622.

Changing Your Wax Guards
Did you know? Wax guards help protect your hearing aids from damaging buildup of wax, skin particles, and other debris. Quite often, the hearing aid may sound “weak” or “dead” because of a clogged filter! Learn how to change them right at home — it’s a breeze! Know When to Change the Wax Guard. Putting this task on at least a monthly schedule offers an easy nudge for handling it in a timely manner. Plus, if your technology isn’t working properly — even with fresh batteries — it may be a sign that the wax guard needs changing. Use the Right One for Your Device. Wax guards come in diverse sizes and types, but not every version is right for your hearing aids. We can provide or help you choose the compatible wax guards for your specific hearing instruments. Remove the Old Wax Guard. Most wax-guard kits comprise a set of small sticks — each with a removal prong on one end or side and a small, white replacement wax guard on the other. Remove the current wax guard from your hearing aid shell by pushing the prong into the center hole of the guard and then
pulling it out. Clean the Hearing Aid Shell. With the old wax guard removed, clean the area using a toothbrush set aside for hearing aid maintenance. Brushing off the shell with a few strokes helps clear it of any remaining wax or other debris. Remember, when brushing the hearing aid, the receiver port should be facing downward. By this time, you should be hearing more sound from the hearing instrument (particularly if the wax guard was clogged). Install the New Wax Guard. Using the same tool, line up the end that contains the new guard with the hole on your hearing aid shell or earmold where the old one sat. Gently push the prong into the center hole — the new wax guard should set or snap in place — then pull the prong back out. You may need to briefly hold the new guard in place with your fingernail while you remove the tool. If your technology still isn’t sounding as clear as it did or exhibits some other issue, please call us at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). We’re here to help! Visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Bitter Melon Is Useful For Oral Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
There’s a famous quote by Hippocrates that underpins today’s article: Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Bitter melon is a food that has a new potential use for an unusual cancer. It’s a a gourd that belongs to the pumpkin and zucchini family. You’ll likely be told by your doctor that this is just a folk remedy and not “approved” for anything important. I disagree. As you know, my life’s work is devoted to researching natural foods and extracts that work along the same pathways as drugs. I’m a pharmacist so I understand all of that. FYI, I happen to also formulate dietary supplements and to be fully transparent, I have included bitter melon in one of them. But it’s in there for blood sugar and insulin sensitivity concerns. Today’s article isn’t about any of that. It’s about mouth cancer. Early signs of oral cancer are easy to ignore and include chronic mouth sores, white or red patches in your mouth, numbness, pain, difficulty swallowing, jaw swelling or voice alterations. Bitter melon is a food and its constituents have been studied for the past few years for fast-growing malignancies, especially mouth cancer which many smokers get. Tobacco is a risk factor, among others. The latest news is solid and suggests that bitter melon extracts can slow down the growth of oral dysplasia and squamous cell cancer in the mouth and throat. This makes me think it could help with stomach and colon cancer too. This also makes me think all smokers should read
today’s article. Certain inflammatory pathways and pain-causing cytokines rise during the development and progression of oral cancer. If bitter melon can control the cytokines (and again, research proves that it does) then oral cancer progression and spreading is blocked! Your oncologist might be interested in evaluating certain immune checkpoints that bitter melon is known to suppress. I list the specific pathways and cytokines in my extended article, which I can email to anyone who wants it. Just join my online community at suzycohen.com In a brand new study published in October 2019, researchers proved that bitter melon inhibited both glycolysis and lipogenesis, which is hugely beneficial to oral cancer patients. This should be making headlines everywhere but since it’s not heavily funded, and foods don’t make people money, you won’t hear about it after today. A paradigm shift needs to occur in your mind if you’re being treated for cancer. Please tell yourself that many malignancies have natural, proven treatments that can help. Of course, you want to be prudent but keep an open-mind. I hope today’s article gives you renewed hope and a new therapy to consider. Bitter melon is considered a food, but it’s also sold as a tea and dietary supplement. My intention is to help improve or extend the life of someone you know and/or augment their chemotherapy. This is purely educational, so please ask your doctor what is right for you.

Pot:
Continued From Page 1 approve amending the Constitution to legalize a controlled form of marijuana called ‘cannabis?’ Only adults at least 21 years of age could use cannabis. The State commission created to oversee the State’s medical cannabis program would also oversee the new, personal use cannabis market. Retail sales of cannabis products in this new market would be subject to the State’s sales tax, and no other form of tax.” Sweeney and Scutari characterized the marijuana issue as a debate of social justice and conscience. Gov. Phil Murphy, who had legalization as a campaign promise, agreed. “My belief that our current marijuana laws have failed every test of social justice and that the r ight cou rse is to legalize its use by adults has not changed,” he said. “I am disappointed that we are not able to get this done legislatively and that our failed status quo - which sends roughly 600 people
to jail a week for possession, the majority of them people of color - will continue. However, I have faith that the people of New Jersey will put us on the right side of history when they vote next November.” Although Colorado is usually the state most people look at when seeing what impacts legalization has, it is not the only state where it’s legal. According to Business Insider, the following states also have adult recreational marijuana: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Illinois, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine and Alaska. Criticism Ea rlier, st ate law ma ker s t r ied to get legali zat ion pa ssed , but it wa s unpopular. A vote was planned for a package of bills that would legalize adult use marijuana, expunge records of people charged with possession of up to 5 pounds, and expand medicinal marijuana use. However, when Democrat leaders we re t r y i ng to f i nd out how much support there was, they came up short
on definite “yes” votes. Sweeney said during a press conference back then that they decided not to put it up to vote because it would be defeated. So instead they pushed “pause” on it, so they could work to get more support. He also noted during that press conference that if it was on the ballot in November of 2019, it wouldn’t do well because it was not a presidential election and not as many people would vote. However, some people feel that by tying the more popular expungement bill to the less popular recreational vote, it doomed the expungement bill. When Murphy Tweeted his support of a 2020 referendum, a slew of Twitter users said he could push for expungement now if he was really concerned with social justice. Instead, 600 arrests a week will continue to happen for another year. Expu nge me nt wou ld h elp p e ople who have minor offenses have a more productive future, Sen. Robert Singer (R-30 th) told a group at an affordable housing assembly in Lakewood earlier
this year. “Too many young lives have been ruined for having a small amount of marijuana.” Even if the legislature is torn on recreational marijuana, they should still move forward with the expungement of people’s record, he had said. “Expungement is a separate bill that we still intend to do,” a spokesman for the state Democrats said. Sold Locally? Even if the “reefer-endum” passes, it would likely face opposition in some t ow n s. Mu n icip a l it ie s c a n c o nt r ol whe r e c e r t a i n bu si ne s s e s o p e r at e. For example, they can zone cer tain areas for indust r ial use, away f rom residences. Several gover ning bodies of local tow ns, li ke Berkeley, have al ready made it illegal to sell recreational marijuana within town limits. A move like this was tabled in Toms River because, officials said, any statewide law would supersede local. Therefore, they were waiting to see what form it took on the state level so they could respond.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset
which does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of NOV 30 - dec 6
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on having a peaceful place to work while you pursue creative ideas and try to sidestep those who push your buttons. In the week ahead, an unexpected bill or expense can become the subject of aggravation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During the week to come, your interest in the latest trends can broaden your horizons. You appear tolerant and open-minded, and you may be invited to share meals or events with someone outside your regular circle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Exhibit an aptitude for fairness. You can blow the whistle and make the call, but make sure you’re a nonpartisan referee. Take steps to ensure that your relationships are harmonious and your surroundings are pleasant in the coming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There should be an abundance of opportunities to spend time with family in the upcoming week. Don’t be disappointed if one person has a scheduling conflict or another one wants to do something nontraditional. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get in touch with friends and family who have drifted away. In the week ahead you might be puzzled by someone’s unexpected change of heart or plans, but that doesn’t mean you should lose your temper. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you make it plain that you play by the rules, other people will be persuaded to play fair, too. You may juggle several fantasies this week, but you are realistic enough to know that they will require hard work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Those who hold the reins of power might be impressed by your enthusiasm and creative talents. If you are dissatisfied with life or restless for excitement, find acceptable ways to break out of a self-imposed rut. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Both friends and foes are likely to take you into their confidence. Friends in high places might give you a tip or drop a hint that lets you to make smart business decisions. It is a good week for something totally different. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An appreciation of the best the world offers may be your best trait. Your toughest problem in the week ahead might be how to fit an extra piece of pumpkin pie on your plate without seeming greedy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not everything is what it seems. You may be misled or misinformed in the upcoming week, but you can rely upon better judgment and decision-making skills during the next few days. Make a plan and stick to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a progressive pick. You probably don’t need every new gadget or app, but it can be eye-opening to experiment with something new this week. Try things out to see if they are beneficial in some way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you are surrounded by peace and tranquility, you can be more creative, artistic and visionary. Feel free to act when your imagination is energized. You may learn who your most trusted allies are in the week ahead.

Continue stirring in a figure-8 motion and cook until this roux looks bubbly but is still light in color, 3 to 5 motion. Still stirring briskly with the whisk, pour in the hot chicken broth. Simmer, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens to a thick, creamy consistency. Remove from the heat. Work in batches if your processor is not large enough to hold all the ingredients comfortably. Put the turkey meat,
onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Add the warm sauce and pulse the machine on and off until the turkey meat is just barely but evenly minced; the mixture still should have some good texture to it. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and leave it until it is cool enough to form with your hands. Break the eggs into a large, shallow bowl and beat them with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are evenly combined. Spread the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl or on a large plate. With clean hands moistened with a little cold water, form some of the turkey mixture into a ball about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter; turn into in the beaten eggs to coat it, then immediately roll it gently in the breadcrumbs until coated. Transfer to a large clean platter or tray, gently flattening them slightly to form thick discs. Repeat with the remaining turkey mixture, eggs, and breadcrumbs. In a large frying pan or skillet with high sides, heat about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil over high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C) on a deep-frying thermometer. Add several of the croquettes to the frying pan, taking care not to crowd the oil, and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes total; use a wire skimmer or slotted spoon to turn them over gently about halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the fried croquettes to a platter lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining croquettes.
