By Jennifer Peacock Already banned in Freehold and Manchester, now slowing down or stopping the wrong way will cost big in Jackson Township. Engine braking—commonly known as “Jake braking” after the most popular system, Jacobs Vehicle Systems—is now illegal within the township except under very specific circumstances. The penalty
for engine braking is up to a $2,000 fine and 15 days in jail. Engine braking is can reduce wear and tear on a truck. But it’s creating quality of life issues on the residential and rural streets that the large trucks drive and brake on, as the mechanics of the brake system create a loud noise. Still, they are a tool a trucker uses to safely navigate intersection traffic

Rt. 9 U-Haul Project Continues Before Zoning Board By Charles Daye HOWELL – An updated land use application to build a U-Haul facility on Route 9 was again stalled as the township zoning board continues to hear the case. After multiple meetings, the application was again before the board last month, when members heard about whether a retail operation in the proposal was an accessory use. The application is next before the zoning board at its September 26 meeting. On July 18, AMERCO Real Estate (U-Haul) attempted to get an updated land use application approved. A previous owner was approved for a plan on the site back in 2007. The original 2007 application approved by the board was based off the land being used exclusively for self-storage, with a single three-story building 38-feet tall, parking for approximately 25 vehicles and a 39,600 square-foot footprint. The proposal on July 18 included some major differences from the original approved one. This new application included self storage use in two buildings, a single one story building located to east or rear of the (Zoning - See Page 4)

lights and stop signs, one said. The Times spoke with a now-retired trucker who spent years as an over-the-road and local driver, operating dump trucks and 18 wheelers. A former Jackson resident who has resided in Ocean County his whole life, he wished to not share his name but did talk about the necessity of the engine brake in diesel engines. “Jake brakes are absolutely fantastic. They are probably the best invention they’ve come up with for heavy trucks in 100 years,” he said. “The problem is, all these truck drivers don’t know how to use them. They abuse them. They shift with them, which you’re not supposed to do, because you beat the daylights out of your clutch and transmission.” He said the problem isn’t really the brake, but the lack of mufflers on the trucks. “That’s the problem with the Jake right now. Most of the noisy trucks are the ones with the guys running around with straight pipes on their trucks and then they kick in this Jake brake. It will break your eardrums. I don’t like it. I’ve never liked it. Put the mufflers back on your trucks and use the brakes when you have to use them. Other than that, slow down a little bit before you come to a corner. You don’t
have to come up to a corner at 80 miles an hour and kick your Jake brake in.” Evergreen Court resident Donald Walker asked Council back in July to enact an ordinance against engine braking. The court is between two county roads, Routes 527 and 528. “Any time of the day, early in the morning, during rush hour, late afternoon, all you hear are these trucks going down the road. They come up to the traffic light and all you hear is…” Walker said. “Can we get an ordinance passed or something to get that to stop? I know they use these engine brakes to slow down because they’re going too fast.” The new ordinance allows for engine braking in two circumstances: “where conventional vehicle brakes have failed, resulting in an emergency making necessary the use of engine braking; or emergency equipment being used for emergency purposes.” The township will be posting signs alerting drivers to the prohibition. Neighboring municipalities Freehold and Manchester prohibit engine braking. Manchester also has exceptions to its code, but engine braking is generally prohibited and can cost upwards of $500 for violations. Freehold has similar exceptions, but has fi nes of up to $2,000 or 90 days of jail or community service.

property and a three story building located central to property more forward toward highway 9. The smaller building has a footprint of 3,926 square feet and the larger building has a footprint of 36,646 square feet with 3,030 square feet dedicated to a show room and retail space. The amount of parking spaces also increased to 55 vehicles instead of 25, to accommodate the rental vehicles for retail use. Overall there would be less self-storage space but a new retail component. The new retail component would be selling boxes, locks, packing tape, box cutters and other moving supplies and accessories often associated with storage facilities in the new smaller building. AMERCO argued that
this wasn’t a variance but accessory to the original application since this would not be a “stand alone” store. AMERCO likened the relationship between the self-storage facility and retail building to that of a gas station and convenience store, despite admitting that the retail component would have distinct and separate hours from that of the self-storage facility. U-Haul rentals (small trailers, vans, pick-up trucks and small box trucks) would also be available on site thus adding another retail element. The board did not agree with AMERCO that these new retail components were accessory to the original application but independent to the self-storage facility. The zoning board decided to carry the case to September 26 and extended the application that was originally set to expire August 13.

F������� L����� Tax Relief For Middle Class Retirees On behalf of our 1.3 million members in New Jersey, A A R P supports proposals to increase the personal income tax pension and retirement income exclusion fivefold over three years. An income tax cut for retirees will help those who have lived and raised their families in New Jersey stay in New Jersey in their retirement years by allowing our middle class retirees to keep more of their hard-earned and hardsaved money to spend on goods and services throughout our state, supporting economic growth. Those 50 years and older play a critical role in New Jersey’s economy, according to a recent
Longevity Economy report prepared for AARP. New Jerseyans over 50 create an economic impact much greater than their proportion of the population, outspending the average consumer across most categories and affecting all sectors of the economy. AARP New Jersey believes it is important to have policies in place that support this important economic engine in our state. We urge lawmakers to ensure that any middle class tax relief include modest, targeted tax relief for New Jersey’s middle class retirees. Jeff Abramo Interim Manager of Communications & Community Outreach AARP New Jersey

L������ T� T�� E����� Badge Revenue Shows Slow Ortley Beach Recovery With beach badge revenue, there are some numbers through June that might be of interest and provide some insight into how recovery and attendance at the various neighboring beaches have progressed since Sandy. In the years following, there was a definite negative impact, however the disparity in the rate of recovery was quite significant. As can be seen, all of our neighboring beaches have recovered quite well, and Lavallette has even surpassed their pre-Sandy revenue. On the other hand, Ortley beach has had a very dismal rate of recovery in beach attendance. There are of course, numerous reasons for this depressing lack of beach revenue recovery here in Ortley. One could point to the excruciating delays in trying to secure permits and CO’s that is delaying the rebuilding of our community, as well as providing tax revenue for Toms River. That has, of course, been a factor, but only a minor element when you take into consideration the haste and convoluted attempt the Township made to rebuild the boardwalk and entrances to the beach right after the storm. With little forethought, they forged ahead without ever considering how they might attempt to improve on what had existed previously. Good planning precludes making the same mistake again. For some reason that approach
was never taken into consideration. The result was a new boardwalk with again the dreaded walkovers that were a well known deterrent to accessing the beach with all the stairs. As an added hindrance, where there had been ramps prior to Sandy, another sets of steps were added. When you take into consideration that the average family going to the beach will have a beach cart piled high with five or six beach chairs and possibly another cart filled with assorted beach accessories. Is it any wonder that many beach patrons have found it much more convenient and enjoyable to visit our neighboring communities and forgo the aggravation of trying to gain entrance to our beaches. The excuse for replacing the ramps for stairs was that the ramps were non compliant. Well, the stairs are non compliant also. Where’s the logic? There was also the hint that the ramps might introduce the possibility of injury due to being non compliant. As anyone familiar with the beach knows, the ramps had been in use for at least 60 years and there were no complaints. It really would be nice, and much more beneficial to both Ortley and Toms River if decisions affecting Ortley Beach included input from individuals that are knowledgeable of our beach community. Based upon the current rate of recovery, the badge revenue losses in just the last three years alone far exceeded $1,000,000. When you add to that the thousands of dollars spent on rebuilding the walk-

The Electoral College Many people still think that when, on Election Day, they place an ‘x’ next to the presidential candidate of their choice they are voting directly for that person. Not quite! The presidential election is the only one in the United States where the voters do not have the right to vote directly for their candidate. Governors, senators, members of Congress, mayors are chosen by a majority of popular votes but presidents are not. What is the Electoral College? First of all it is not a “College” or a “University.” When on Election Day the citizens vote for President they are actually voting for electors, selected by the political parties, pledged to the parties’ candidate. The number of electors for each party equals the combined number of that state’s U.S. senators and representatives. New Jersey has 14 electoral votes. The candidate getting the majority of the popular votes gets all the electoral votes of that state. There are a total of 538 electors throughout the country. A candidate must win at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. About six weeks after the election, electors meet at their state capitals to cast their ballots directly for president. (If no candidate for president has a 270 vote majority then the House of Representatives chooses the president.) Does it work? For the most part yes it does work, however there have been three elections where a candidate has won the popular vote but failed to win the 270 electoral votes. The last time was in the 2000 election. Al Gore had 51,003,894 popular votes to 50,459,211 for George Bush,
but Bush had 271 electoral votes to Gore’s 267. That doesn’t sound fair. The Electoral College is authorized in the 12th amendment to our constitution. Our founding fathers that signed the Declaration of Independence and formed the constitution were perhaps the smartest group of people this country ever had. What was their reasoning for choosing indirect elections? They feared that the states with the largest populations would control the elections. If today the voters in California, New York, Texas, Florida and Illinois would agree on one candidate then the smaller states such as Wyoming, Iowa, Utah and New Jersey would have little or no say as to who would become president. As it is today each state large or small has a distinctive roll in choosing the leader of our country. Remember George Bush won his first election by one vote over the minimum required. The divergent states of Alaska, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Delaware and Vermont each are allotted 3 electoral votes which could possibly change any election and the history of this country. Can the Electoral College be abolished? Critics argue that the Electoral College is archaic, and gives certain swing states, like Ohio, undue influence in selecting the president. Proponents argue that the Electoral College is very important that it protects the rights of smaller states. In order to amend the constitution, the amendment must be approved by a 2/3rd majority vote of congress and then is sent to each state for ratification by the states legislatives. Approval is required by 3/4 of the states or 30 out of 50. It is almost certain that each of the small states would vote against giving up what leverage they have in the elections. It’s safe to say that the Electoral College, with all its flaws, is here to stay. James Mack Brick

“Adopt A Senior” Earns National Volunteer Of The Year Award JACKSON – The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living have announced the recipients for this year’s AHCA/NCAL awards program. Every year, AHCA/NCAL recognizes the men and women who selflessly care for individuals in long term and post-acute care centers and assisted living communities. For 2016, the recipient of the award is Adopt A Senior, an organization that volunteers at Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation. Adopt a Senior was also last year’s winner of the Health Care Association of New Jersey’s Group Volunteer of the Year Award. The group will celebrate their latest recognition at the AHCA convention in Nashville in October. In 2015, Bartley Healthcare partnered with Adopt A Senior to spread joy to their residents. Adopt A Senior visits Bartley once a month, spreading joy and birthday gifts to the residents. The residents look forward to these engaging visits and the special time dedicated
to their special day and holidays. Adopt A Senior has a mission to provide hand-delivered gifts and visits to as many seniors living in long-term care facilities as possible, so they are not forgotten on holidays, and on their special days. In its two years of operation, Adopt a Senior has hand-delivered over 1,500 birthday and holiday gifts to over 800 seniors. At Bartley, Adopt A Senior previously visited once a month to celebrate birthdays, but as the volunteers got to know the residents, a love for one another grew and their service expanded. Now, when they visit, they also do a “travel talk” program with the residents, where they discuss different geographic locations, and make it into an entertaining activity. Cheryl Taylor, director of activities, said, “Adopt A Senior brings smiles and joy to our residents every month with kazoos, balloons and gifts. To see someone’s face light up, or even to just sing happy birthday along with them, is priceless.”
School Supplies Drive At AMI Locations
MANASQUAN – School supplies will be collected at all AMI locations locally through August 19 to support students in need. Many New Jersey children face the prospect of arriving for their first day of school in September without the most basic of school supplies. To help address this, the AMI Foundation is launching its Eighth Annual “Tools for Schools” supply drive. The AMI Foundation has placed blue collection baskets in the reception areas of all 11 AMI office locations in Atlantic, Cape May, Monmouth and Ocean counties. Office locations may be found at atlanticmedicalimaging.com The list of requested school supplies in-
cludes: pencils, erasers, spiral notebooks, pocket folders, crayons, colored markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, highlighters and soft pencil cases. As in years past, the AMI Foundation has also purchased book bags to accompany the school supply donations. Once the drive is complete, the collected supplies and book bags will be delivered to elementary schools throughout the area in late August. To date, the AMI Foundation has donated nearly 2,000 book bags to area school children in need. The local location is AMI Wall Township, 2399 Highway 34, Unit B.

CentraState Earns Four Stars From Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services
FREEHOLD – CentraState Medical Center is proud to announce that it has received a four star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Five Star Quality Rating System. CentraState is one of only eight hospitals in New Jersey to receive four stars, which was the highest rating issued in New Jersey this year. The rankings are based, in part, on 64 quality measures, such as mortality, hospital-acquired infection rates and readmission rates. CMS also assesses patient responses to Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems surveys, which rate the hospital based on patient perception of the hospital’s performance in complying with health care standards, quality measures and staffing. “We are pleased to be recognized by the federal government for the quality of care
we provide our patients in the state of New Jersey,” says John Gribbin, president and CEO, CentraState Healthcare System. “While there are many quality indicators that focus on various health-related services, which can differ in outcomes, it is gratifying that CMS, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has noted the commitment of our physicians, nurses and clinicians to uphold our mission of clinical excellence.” CentraState Healthcare System is a nonprofit community health organization consisting of an acute-care hospital, a health and wellness campus, three senior living communities, a Family Medicine Residency program and a charitable foundation. CentraState’s teaching program is sponsored by Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

New Exhibition Opens At Historical Society Museum FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Historical Association Museum now has a new exhibition on the second floor. During the mid 19th century, as Americans became increasingly interested in their country’s rise to nationhood, depictions of historical events such as the Battle of Monmouth became popular with audiences throughout the eastern United States. Artists, professional and amateur alike, responded by creating drawings, paintings and prints that brought the battle to life. The exhibition, “That Memorable Sab-
bath-Day: The Battle of Monmouth in Drawings, Paintings and Prints,” features a range of interpretations, all of which, whether grounded in fact or fiction, helped shape the awareness of what the American historian Benson J. Lossing (1813–91) described as “that memorable Sabbath-day in June, 1778.” The museum is located at 70 Court St. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday to Saturday.

United Way Holds Annual “Stuff The Bus” Drive For School Supplies
HOWELL – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is now holding its annual “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive at eight locations throughout Monmouth and Ocean County to meet the growing demand for school supplies needed by children throughout the community. The drive is designed to help ensure that all children begin the school year with the tools they will need to succeed. “Providing these educational supplies helps support a child’s ability to learn while removing some of the financial burden from both parents and teachers,” said Timothy C. Hearne, president and CEO of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. “Donations from the Stuff the Bus drive allow children to focus on their assignments instead of worrying about whether they have the tools to complete them.” Stuff the Bus events will be held at local stores, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where shoppers are invited to donate new school supplies to the drive:
August 13 – Walmart in Howell and Walmart in Brick. August 14 – Wegmans in Ocean Township. In addition to providing an opportunity to donate school supplies, United Way offers volunteers a way to give their time to the drive. Volunteers ages 12 and up are needed at the community events, and also to help count and sort donations through the month of August. Interested volunteers can register by contacting Jackie Liguori at 848-206-2037 or jliguori@ uwmoc.org. Stuff the Bus will be one of the first joint initiatives for United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, which was recently formed through a merger of United Way of Monmouth County and United Way of Ocean County. For more information about United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties or the Stuff the Bus drive, contact Kaarina Romero at 848-206-2042 or visit uwmoc.org.

Tent City Documentary To Premiere In Asbury Park
ASBURY PARK – Ultravision Films has announced the premiere of the new documentary “Destiny’s Bridge,” produced and directed by Jack Ballo with Executive Producer Bill Jersey. The documentary depicts the complete story of the Lakewood Tent City encampment. The court battle and homeless camp in the woods made news around the world while bringing attention to micro-housing as an option for the poor and homeless in New Jersey. This new official release follows an earlier version of “Destiny’s Bridge” that was screened throughout New Jersey, but was never released. Director Jack Ballo, continued filming at Tent City during the same time he was screening the 2013 “Destiny’s Bridge” at film festivals, theaters and colleges. As the Tent City saga went on, the high profile Ocean County story revealed an ending that nobody expected. Ballo and Jersey re-edited the documentary shaping the story into a new riveting narrative that raises questions about tiny houses as a solution to the homeless crisis in New Jersey, as well as throughout the country. The film will start at 7 p.m. on August 17 at the House of Independents, 572 Cookman Ave., and will be followed by a question and answer session with filmmakers Jack Ballo and Bill Jersey, along with Minister Steve Brigham, the main subject of the film and Tent City founder. The question and answer session about the documentary will also include a conversation with experts and advocates involved with tiny house issues in NJ.

5 Ice Cube Recipes To Help You Lose Weight By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Drinking water instead of soda can be the fastest, simplest way to lose weight and improve health. Why? We all need fresh water to dilute poisons in our body and filter toxins through our kidneys. When you become dehydrated with sugar-laden drinks, this filtration function gets harder. Blood sugar increases. Remember, water is essential to life because it keeps us hydrated. Having enough water on board can reduce the risk of migraines while improving energy. Yet, despite the common sense aspect to drinking water and staying hydrated, some people insist on drinking tainted water that was perfectly good before some giant food company turned it into a liquid missile. Drinking chemical liquids has become the norm. Millions of people worldwide choose to drink what I call “messed up water,” water that has been manufactured to contain lab-created dyes some of which trigger anxiety and asthma, various artificial sweeteners or preservatives, a few known carcinogens, as well as refined sugar. I’m sure you’d be willing to at least offer your children a cleaner, healthier version of water if you knew how. So my intention today is to teach you how to make water prettier, tastier and fresher water with something cheap and easy like ice cubes. I can show you how to make them medicinal by infusing them with fruits
or herbs. Then whenever you’re ready you can slowly tilt yourself in the direction of clean, pure water or fizzy seltzer drinks. Changing from soda to water is easy if you want to. It’s just a choice, so try this: Blueberries: Add three blueberries to each cube and freeze. When these melt in your water later on, you can eat them. Seltzer water is ideal. Blueberries enhance cognitive function, vision and cholesterol/ triglyceride ratios. Mint: Put a tiny sprig each ice cube. When it melts in your water it will add a minty zing and freshen your breath. Mint is great for energy and may improve digestion. Strawberries: Use organic ones. Wash them and cut the stems, then slice thinly. Put a slice in each cube. Strawberries have 113 percent of the daily value of Vitamin C, plus a lot of manganese which makes your SOD (detoxification) enzyme work better. Matcha: Brew some matcha green tea at half strength and then freeze it. These make beautiful green cubes and matcha infuses your water with EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which is a known cancer fighter and fat-burning compound. Greens: Make superfood ice cubes out of your favorite brand of greens, I make mine at half-strength. To receive more of my medicinal ice cube recipes, go to my website and sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Prevention For Falling Prey To Tourist Scams Dear Readers, With so many traveling in the upcoming season I thought that I may prevent you from falling prey to popular tourist scams. Be aware when someone tries to distract you for no apparent reason. Distractions are an easy way to be pick-pocketed. This applies for right here in your home town. You don’t have to travel to fall victim to that one. You could be distracted by someone accidentally spilling something on you; I’ve heard of ketchup squirted on a woman’s shoulder so she puts her bag down. If you ask a taxi driver to take you to a specific restaurant and he tells you that it’s closed, beware. He is looking for a long ride and will ultimately take you to a restaurant that is he has a “partnership” going. Here is a common one. You go to a bar and a friendly group of locals ask you
to join them. They suddenly depart after a few rounds and you are left with a padded bill. Finally, a merchant counts you r change. At that point it is correct. He drops it and replaces it with a smaller bill. In as much as I don’t like writing a negative column, my feelings are the following. If I can save one traveler from getting scammed it is worth writing about. Remember that most locals are honest but all it takes is one moment to spoil a good thing. Safe Travels. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Vote For First Responders At Blood Drive
OCEA N COU NTY – The Cent ral Jersey Blood Center (CJBC), 494 Sycamore Ave., is sponsoring a blood drive from August 13 through August 28. The Central Jersey Blood Center will award one $500 donation to a police department, f ire department or f irst aid squad in the county of either Monmouth, Ocean or Middlesex that has the most blood donors during the drive. Ever yone, 17 years of age and up who can donate blood should consider giving a donation of blood in honor of first responders. Director of Donor
Relations, Michael Leviton, said, “First responders step up for us on a daily basis. Let’s support first responders, our heroes, who are always there in an emergency, by donating blood and voting for the emergency services unit of your choice.” Alyssa Drown, the marketing manager of CJBC, said, “Spread the word to friends, family and members of the community about the impor tance of blood donations during this desperate time of need. Everyday hundreds of people in New Jersey need blood.
W hether it’s because of automobile accidents, cancer patients in need of t reat ment or the multit ude of other reasons individuals need blood, we need community members to roll up their sleeves and give these patients life, strength and hope.” The Central Jersey Blood Center, a community-based, nonprofit blood collection and distribution organization, strives to save lives every single day by providing safe blood products that go to local New Jersey hospitals. One person’s donation can save three lives.

Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. Mention “Summer of Heroes: First Responders” when calling and give sponsor code “SPON047605” to the front desk at check in.

Inside The Law The Interaction Between Workers’ Compensation And A State Disability Pension
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Stacie A. Brustman, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associ
As you may be aware, if you are injured while working, as a result of an occupational exposure, or a specific traumatic event, you are statutorily permitted to file for workers’ compensation benefits. In addition, if you are in a position that you are involved in the State pension system, you may be entitled to an accidental or ordinary disability pension. Generally, if you are involved in a traumatic event at work that ultimately deems you unable to perform your duties any longer, you may be entitled to an accidental disability pension. There is no minimal time of employment to be eligible for this pension. The jurisdiction as to whether you are disabled from your job duties as a result of the traumatic event rests with the Division of Pensions. However, the accidental disability pension may entitle you to in excess of 70 percent of your wages and family health benefits. However, if you are approved for an accidental disability pension, there is a direct dollar for dollar offset for any workers’ compensation benefits you receive. This is to say, you may still file for workers’ compensation benefits, and may be entitled to benefits pursuant to same, but your pension benefits will be reduced by any recovery made. This, in fact, does not decrease your financial benefits, but merely may change from whom the money is received. However, the law is different when a person involved in the State pension system is approved for an ordinary disability pension and that person also has an injury with permanent residuals in the course of his or her employment. In most cases, in order to be considered for an ordinary disability pension, you will have had to be
in the State pension system for 10 years. Stacie A. Brustman Esq. This also may only provide a pension benefit of approximately 43 percent of your salary. As in the accidental disability pension, the decision as to whether you are disabled from your job duties rests with the Division of Pensions. In New Jersey, there is a long standing public policy against double recoveries for the same injuries. In New Jersey, an injured employee may receive an ordinary disability pension and workers’ compensation benefits. However, the workers’ compensation benefits may be subject to a dollar for dollar offset for pension benefits. However, an ordinary disability pension is generally not the result of one traumatic event that deems the worker unable to perform his or her duties, but generally is the result of numerous and varied disabilities that may or may not be work related, or related to the workers’ compensation injury. As such, there only exists an offset for those injuries incorporated in the approval of the disability pension and are specifically involved in the claim for workers’ compensation. In converse, the disabilities unrelated to workers’ compensation then are not included in the calculation of the offset. As you can see, your choice as to whether to pursue workers’ compensation benefits when eligible for either disability pension is a difficult and law sensitive decision that should be reviewed with an attorney in depth.

Business Profile I&G FARMS
By Donna Frances Madej Love, dedication, blood, sweat and tears. Irene and Gregory Johnston’s secret for not only what may be the best, tastiest corn on the cob you’ll ever consume (take my word for it) but also one reason for the years of success that I&G Farms has experienced. Located at 150 Whitesville Road, Jackson, I&G Farms is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In fact, the only time they’re closed is for two weeks at the beginning of November to transition into the holiday season and from January until the third week in March when they re-open for another selling season. The family run establishment has been delighting Jackson residents, in addition to residents of numerous other towns and even neighboring states, for over 35 years. Here you’ll find fresher than fresh Jersey produce (a lot I&G grown) that will entice your pallet, lush hearty vegetation that will beautify your surroundings and seasonal creations to usher in the holiday season. Don’t visit I&G Farms expecting just a farm stand with a limited amount of produce. When you enter the “Family Farm Market,” that not only has eye catching seasonal themed painted windows, but also an attractive, welcoming landscape of thriving flowers and plants that are available for purchase, you’ll be impressed! The huge array of fruits and vegetables are a feast for your eyes, exploding with vivid color and bursting with just picked freshness. It’s “Jersey Fresh” at its freshest, tastiest and finest! “People have a lot higher awareness of the food that they’re eating,” Irene acknowledges. “A lot of them ask me about GMO (genetically modified organism.) I knew about
If You Plant It They Will Come…
GMO for 20 years but if I mentioned it 20 years ago, they would have no clue what I’m talking about.” Health problems and environmental damage can occur from GMOs. According to the Non GMO Project, GMOs are “living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering or GE. This creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.” “People know they can come here, where the food was grown. I can give them the source of the seed and I know exactly how it was grown. That matters a lot,” Irene adds. “People tell me our string beans taste like a bean. They’ve been eating food that has no taste because big corporate farms don’t plow their ground. They just keep planting on it over and over again. There’s nothing left in the soil, no nutrients. They have a machine that pulls the plant out of the ground and shakes it to death so beans fall off, go into a hopper, into a bin, get broken and get brown. They’re beat up. Ours are hand-picked and beautiful.” In addition, varieties of squash, eggplant, “Jersey tomatoes” and Irene reveals, “the star of the show,” Gregory’s corn, which is always kept on ice, is grown on I&G’s neighboring acreage. The corn is grown in various “blocks,” and staggering the planting time results in corn (hopefully) until the end of October. The corn is white and bi-color (cross between white and yellow) and is picked daily, as needed, all day long. “We always have fresh corn, all super sweet,” Irene exclaims. “In my dreams, if someone told me people would go crazy over corn, I would never have believed it.
Take your pick! The fruit is plentiful and delicious at I&G Farms.
And my husband… it’s like he’s married to the corn and I’m the second wife,” she says laughing. “It’s the truth. He gets up at 5:30 a.m. and he’s out in the cornfield.” It may seem strange imaging that corn has a following, but I&G’s is legendary and is proof that people will travel to get a great ear of corn. Or…maybe put in a special request? Frequent I&G customer Liz Ferullo of Jackson, happily obliges. “My aunt and uncle bring it back to Yonkers and my brother and sister-in-law from The Family Farm Market is open. There’s no Toms River say “come I&G Farms and get your fresh produce. over for a barbeque and bring the corn. Make sure that something new and different. you stop by I&G,” Ferullo says with “I come often for my gardening, a smile. “This is the sweetest corn my plants, my perennials, my anywhere in New Jersey.” potted plants,” Ferullo relates. The farms quality control is im- “Everything has always done peccable, with Gregory inspecting well year to year. The quality is everything and making sure that phenomenal.” it meets his and his family’s high Like it says on their T shirts, standards. I&G Farms are “growers for all “My husband’s passion is his seasons.” Poinsettias are started farm,” Irene proclaims. in the greenhouses in July. Fall It’s obvious that Irene shares the ushers in 20,000 field grown mums same passion and not only enjoys along with pumpkin’s, cornstalks the lasting customer friendships and straw. When produce ceases that have endured through the at the end of October, the market years, but the new ones that she closes for two weeks and is transcontinuously cultivates. formed into a decorating center “A lot of customers are connois- where wreaths, grave blankets and seur growers,” she notes. “That’s bows are custom made.

better time than now to stop at rumors have circulated in regard to the family selling their land to developers. Not to worry!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aUGUST 13-August 19 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): The more the merrier. You’ll fare far better when paired up with someone or in a group in the week ahead. Solo projects may lead you in the wrong direction. You can feel the pulse of business success but matters of the heart may be perplexing. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Choose your partners carefully. Teaming up with someone who isn’t reliable could throw your whole agenda out of whack this week. Make an extra effort to honor your part of the bargain even if others do not. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Any task can be completed if you have the proper tools. Make sure that you are adequately prepared for any new projects or jobs as this week unfolds. Paying attention to minute details will pay dividends in the end. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may need to step out of your comfort zone. Playing it safe will not help you when hardball tactics are needed. You may have a change of heart in the week ahead but there’s no excuse for not honoring obligations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love is a two way street. While lights may be all green along the route a significant other may be holding up a stop sign. Find satisfaction by tapping into creative outlets and dabbling in hobbies in the upcoming week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can’t please all the people all the time. It’s fine to help out when you can but if you devote too much time to other people’s problems your own priorities may suffer. Treat your time as a valuable resource this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Wait and see. Remain non-committal and allow events to unfold naturally before you decide upon a course of action. Be patient with others in the week ahead. A potential problem may just be a simple misunderstanding. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you aren’t willing to bend you may break. Being too rigid and strict leaves little room for error and may leave failure as your only option. Sharing intimate thoughts with a special someone may solve problems this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Act like you have something to prove. Show others your worth by being reliable, competent and efficient this week. Stay focused on worthy objectives as irrelevant or trivial issues may try to steal your attention. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t lose your nerve. You may begin a project with complete confidence of its success but doubts may pop up. Maintain your original resolve as this week progresses and you will easily finish what you started. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put it in low gear. Your energy level may be below normal for a day or two this week. It would be best to maintain a light schedule and low expectations. A relationship may progress if you are patient and allow some time to pass. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Don’t get backed into a corner. Someone may try to tell you that your options are one of only two choices this week. There may be a third solution that is more to your benefit. Think matters over and avoid impulsive actions.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Taste Of India: New Take On A Classic Austrian Dish By Wolfgang Puck During my childhood, one of the most frequent main dishes on our dinner table was an old, home-style Austrian specialty called reisfleisch, which literally translated as “rice meat.” That was a good description, too, for an inexpensive dish that consisted mostly of rice, to which my mother and grandmother added onions, garlic, garden vegetables, paprika and other seasonings, along with cut-up bite-sized chunks of a small piece of meat or sausage. It was a great way to stretch an expensive ingredient, and it kept the whole family happily satisfied. Of course, just about any cuisine in which rice is a common ingredient has its own variations on such dishes, from Italian risotto to French pilaf to Chinese fried rice. Every version takes advantage of the fact that rice, like so many starches, is basically a blank canvas that can take on the personality of whatever seasonings and other ingredients you choose to add to it. One day when I was faced with a kitchen counter full of fresh seasonal produce, along the lines of what you’ll find right now in your local farmers’ market, I decided to try coming up with a beautiful vegetarian version of my childhood favorite. You can follow my recipe, but you can certainly feel free to substitute bite-sized chunks of whatever vegetables you like. Instead of using the usual central-European seasonings I grew up with, I substituted Indian spices: a good Madras-style curry powder, which you’ll find in any well-stocked supermarket, and a touch of a spice blend called “vadouvan.” It’s another curry seasoning blend that typically contains onion, garlic, cumin, mustard seeds and fenugreek, and you can find it in specialty foods stores or online (or simply substitute a little more curry powder of your choice). In the spirit of modern convenience, I also decided to make this vegetarian rice pilaf in an electric pressure cooker, in which it takes only 8 minutes to cook once pressure has been reached, along with another 10 minutes or so for pressure to release slowly. (Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.) While the rice mixture cooked, I decided to make a quick version of raita, the savory Indian yogurt-cucumber sauce. Spooned over the rice at serving time, it adds a cooling contrast to the not-too-hot spices while further enhancing the nutritional value of an already healthy vegetarian dish. My late mother and grandmother might have been astonished by my version of reisfleisch. But, knowing the good, seasonal, budget-conscious cooks that they were, I have no doubt they would have approved. PRESSURE COOKER VEGETARIAN REISFLEISCH WITH INDIAN SPICES AND RAITA Serves 6 to 8 For rice and vegetables: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 large Japanese eggplant, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks
1/2 yellow onion, coarsely chopped 1/2 head cauliflower, broken into small florets, stem cut into chunks 1/4 head green cauliflower or more white cauliflower, broken into small florets, stem cut into chunks 1/2 large yellow bell pepper or orange bell pepper, coarsely chopped 1 apple, cored and diced 1/8 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks 1-inch (2.5-cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped 2 or 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped 2 Thai green chiles, left whole 1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cherries 1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cranberries 2 tablespoons Madras curry powder 1 tablespoon vadouvan 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded coconut, toasted following package instructions 2 cups (500 mL) basmati rice 2 cups (500 mL) organic vegetable stock Pinch crushed red pepper flakes Kosher salt For raita: 1 large English (hothouse) cucumber 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) nonfat or low-fat plain Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice For garnish: Sliced almonds, toasted Small sprigs fresh cilantro Thinly sliced fresh mint leaves 2 limes cut into wedges Put the butter in the removable pot of a large pressure cooker. Add the eggplant, onion, cauliflower, bell pepper, apple, pineapple, ginger, garlic, chiles, dried fruit, curry powder, vadouvan, coconut, rice, stock, pepper flakes, and some salt to taste. Stir well. Place the pot inside the pressure cooker. Cover and seal the lid, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Set the timer to cook under pressure for 8 minutes. While the rice mixture is cooking, make the raita. Leaving the peel on the cucumber, grate it on the coarse holes of a grater. Wrap the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess liquid. In a bowl, combine the herbs, yogurt, honey, salt and pepper, and lime juice to taste. Stir in the cucumber. Cover and refrigerate until serving. When the cooking time is over, unplug the pressure cooker and leave it closed for 10 minutes while pressure releases on its own slowly; then, following the manufacturer’s instructions, quick-release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid, stir, and spoon the rice mixture onto serving plates. Top with almonds, raita, cilantro and mint. Serve with lime wedges.
