By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Do you hate your job, and the people at it? The narrator just finished t el l i ng h is re a de r s that his boss is something that rhymes with “brother trucker.” This boss’s off icial title, more bureaucratic and possibly more ridiculous, is “Director in Charge of Revenue Savings.” The boss likes to make people suffer and doesn’t spare even his own family members from his vindictiveness. “But I’m smarter than your average broom pusher. Well, smarter than most of the teachers and administrators in this dump, let’s put it that way. If I’ve learned anything from years toiling away in this place, it’s that each decision you make affects your future. Or rather, make sure you think three or four moves ahead of everybody.” But this boss, Mr. Sanders, is just one of many. As the narrator

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – For the third year in a row, the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Public Safety Cadet Unit No. 1 has been named the top over unit at the fourth annual New Jersey State Youth Law Enforcement Competition held at Stockton University May 31 to June 2. More than 100 cadets and explorers from numerous units participated. Some of those cadets and explorers from Unit No. 1 were on hand to be recognized at the July 2 Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders meeting. “I want to thank you all for recognizing how hard these kids are working, but also want to
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Council approved the creation of an Emergency Medical Services Director at its most recent meeting. The creation of this job is another step toward the township forming its own emergency medical services team. Officials have said they hope to have that operational by early 2020. This nonunion, civilian position’s duties include “supervision, planning, coordination and implementation of various work activities while upholding standard operating procedures as is related to providing emergency medical services to the residents of Manchester Township,” according to the description provided by the township. The director will report to a police command staff designee. Qualified candidates must have 5 years’ experience as an EMT-Basic, Mobile Intensive
thank the families and friends who put the time in driving them to all our events and following up and making sure their uniforms are ready. We couldn’t do this without the families,” Ocean County Sheriff’s Officer Christine Farrell said. “These kids have worked tremendously hard.” Several of the program members have already been picked up as full-time police officers, SLEO I and II officers, and dispatchers. “So the success of this program isn’t just the competitions and the community service projects, it’s the actual success that these kids (Awards - See Page 7)
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The township placed water restrictions on eastern service area water customers, starting July 24. The eastern service area covers those living along Route 37 and portions east of the highway. “D u r i ng su m mer months, customer demands for water increase dramatically due to lawn irrigation. Over the last few days, customer demands rose to record levels. Reducing water use during peak periods is essential to our provision of an uninterrupted supply of
water, particularly in emergencies, such as fires,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said. Lawn and landscaping water restrictions - anything that involves watering or irrigating shrubbery, trees, lawns, grass, ground covers, plants, vines, gardens, vegetables, flowers, etc. - will be in effect until further notice. Residents with odd-numbered street addresses may only water on odd calendar dates, except for the 31st of the month, which is prohibited. Residents with (Water - See Page 5)

novel-length work from author and Toms River native J.R. Warnet. Warnet, 37, a graduate of Stockton University, has degrees in creative writing, general education and marine environmental science. Its setting and nameless narrator, “The Janitor” (no relation to the Scrubs character*, whose name was eventually revealed in the season eight finale), point to bigger realities outside institutional bureaucracy. “[The story] is about what can happen in a job that you work at for so many years and you need to spice things up a bit,” Warnet said. Writing the book was medicine for him. He started it back in the early aughts, not aiming for a book per se, but a way to release his creativity while struggling through health problems, college, a fulltime and second job. “I needed a creative outlet, to try to put things down on paper. An artist will paint. A musician will write songs. I needed a way to put things out there, so I started writing satire, fiction. I needed to put something on paper so I didn’t go stir crazy.” His fictional janitor graduated college and found there were no jobs waiting for him. The promises attached to the degree evaporated. So he stayed in a job, and stayed in a job, and stayed in a job he hated, to make ends meet. Two of Warnet’s writerly heroes - novThe General’s
people waiting for one job. So people have to take odds-and-ends jobs to get by. People work jobs they’re severely overqualified for, but they still have to do it. Everybody’s got health insurance they need. You get to a point where you have to make certain sacrifices to get by, and you do it,” Warnet said. “Some people wake up every day loving their job, other people don’t. But both still have to do their jobs.” In a 2014 interview with Maclean’s, comedian and author Martin Short said this about comedy: “Comedy is so subjective. If you trip and fall down, some people will laugh and some people will say ‘Oh, physical comedy is so pedestrian.’ Some people look at Three Stooges as lowbrow; some people consider them artists. No one is wrong. It’s just a personal take.” Warnet let his own sense of humor guide his writing, although The Janitor thinks himself a tragic figure. “If it makes me laugh and I can’t stop laughing, I know it’s going to be good. For the longest time I’ve watched stand-up comedians. I’ve always had a bit of a dark sense of humor. When I would write and read it out loud, I would try to get the character’s voice. I would read it aloud and if it sounded funny, I would work with it. If it didn’t, I would scratch it and edit it and try something else.” His book has gotten solid reviews on Amazon.com. “I couldn’t put this book down. The first few chapters I laughed
my butt off and the last few chapters, I was captured by the crazy characters and couldn’t wait to see how it was going to end. Pick up this book if you are looking to laugh! Such a page turner!” one reader praised. Warnet has been giving readings at Barnes & Noble bookstores. His next book signing is at the Menlo Park store July 27. Details aren’t solid yet but he has a radio interview in the work with a New York City station in early August. He’s also recording an audio version of his book, and a second book told through The Janitor’s eyes. “A lot of people find a lot of humor in the book, and it’s a different angle that they’re very receptive to,” Warnet said. And his audience he meets encompasses all sorts, not just disillusioned college grads with mortgage-sized student loans living in their childhood bedrooms. He agrees that not everyone will find “The Day I Clean My Last Toilet” funny or appreciate and understand its of ten rough language. That’s okay. He wants people struggling to find work or find fulfilling, full-time work to laugh at the absurdities. “The days of working your dream job are over. You always have to make money somehow. We’ll just hit the lottery, which is what I’ve been trying as well.” Or, you could buy his book. It’s available online on Amazon.com and BN.com.

elist Stephen King and memoirist David Sedaris - started their work lives as janitors. Warnet has also worked in the custodial arts for more than 20 years. Does anyone really know the school janitor? They emerge at the end of things: end of lunch, end of the assembly, end of the day, and end of the school year. What is their point of view of jobs and life and messes? “Nobody really knows the school janitor. They go unseen. You might see them but you don’t interact with them. There’s a nostalgia in that, in society, that you’re not supposed to interact with the janitor. Or, this person is obviously doing this for a reason. They can’t work anywhere else. So I thought it would be interesting to see things from that point of view.” The novel started as vignettes, little glimpses in time of a janitor’s day interacting with staff and students at some nondescript Ocean County school. The reader sees The Janitor’s compassionate side with down-on-their-luck underlings; his taking down Mr. Sanders’ right-hand man that involves Ancestr y.com and Guinness; his receiving sage advice from a jaded union lifer who told him not to be a “dumbass loser.” He might be a loser, but he’s a three-steps-ahead loser. Warnet never had one particular job on his Curriculum Vitae that birthed The Janitor, or the book. “A lot of people have to go to school or go to trade school. They’re ready to take on the world. And when they leave college or trade school, there are 10,000

The pay range is $75,000 to $95,000 per year to start. The full job description is available through the municipal clerk’s office. The council at its July 8 meeting also approved a resolution authorizing a contract to purchase three “2019 or newer” Ford F-450 four-wheel-drive and two Ford F-450 two-wheel-drive ambulances. The contract amount with Pfund Superior Sales, under the H-GAC Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, will not exceed $972,000.

The Manchester Times, July 27, 2019, Page 5 chase ambulances from either of the existing volunteer EMS services, Whiting or Manchester. Or, if nothing else, stagger the purchase of new ambulances. Police Chief Lisa Parker said the township is under no obligation to purchase the older rigs from either EMS, nor are those volunteer squads obligated to sell anything to the township. Council Vice President Samuel Fusaro, leading the meeting for an absent President Joan Brush, added it’s cheaper to purchase all five at the same time. In addition to the ambulance purchases, the township also plans to purchase: • Five various Stryker stretchers, five Lucas CPR machines, six Laerdal FR3 defibrillators, immobilization backboards, Reeves stretchers, stair chairs, Hurst extrication tools and “other various equipment,” estimated cost $361,000, 15-year average period of usefulness. • Mobile and portable radios, estimated cost $105,000, 10-year average period of usefulness.
• Mobile computers and related equipment, estimated cost $49,000, 7-year period of average usefulness. Township officials have repeatedly praised the work and dedication of Manchester first aid volunteers. But the lack of volunteers coupled with an increasingly aging population, which bring with it increasing healthcare demands, forced officials to consider going to a paid first aid squad. Currently, both Whiting and Manchester squads rely on Quality Medical Transport to answer 75 percent of calls received. Whiting has three rigs but can only run one because of lack of manpower. The squad runs 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday and has between 20-25 members. Manchester First Aid Squad has 27 members and three rigs. Mayor Kenneth Palmer said in an April 12 statement that “[We] intend to hire approximately 24 EMTs which are state certified and trained to operate four to five ambulances. The EMTs and ambulances will serve the residents 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, something that our volunteer squads are unable to do. Certainly, there may be times when we need some additional help. To address those needs, we will either enter into mutual aid agreements with our neighboring municipalities and/or contract with private services. The goal is to deliver the most efficient means of providing [Manchester residents] with emergency medical services.” Volunteer fi rst aid members have complained that they are being shut out of the process. “We’re doing our best. I don’t want to see our squad being crumbled because the chief and the mayor and some other people got together and figured they were going to help this township out. Why don’t they discuss it with us?…We’re all people in the township to do work together,” Manchester First Aid Squad member Caroline Bruckel said back in April. Volunteer members have continued to attend council meetings but have mostly refrained from public comment since then.
and commercial properties that use the eastern service area water. Exceptions include: public parks, public recreation areas and nurseries; water for hanging plants; newly seeded or sodded lawn areas for up to 30 days after initial seeding or sodding, “provided there is a small sign visible from the street in the front yard indicating ‘new seed’ or ‘new sod’ and the date of installation,”
township officials said. Restrictions don’t apply to any properties served by another water utility company or that use their own private wells. Private wells must be visibly marked as such. Violators are subject to fines. The township is also asking residents to use self-closing nozzles on hoses, use a broom rather than a hose to clean
sidewalks, run washing machines and dishwashers only when full, and turn off faucets when not in use. Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation to water trees, gardens and f lower beds.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Study Says NJ Slips In Being Business-Friendly CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
TRENTON – According to a recent ranking by CNBC of America’s Top States for Business, New Jersey has dropped four spots from 32nd in 2017 to 36th in
2019. Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe of the 10th Legislative District point out that this number is
a result of Governor Murphy and the Democrat controlled legislature who are continuing to make it more difficult for businesses to grow and operate in our state’s economic climate. “If you own a business in New Jersey you know how challenging it is to compete against companies in neighboring states that have lower operating costs,” stated Senator Holzapfel. “New Jersey has drastically
declined as a place for new and growing businesses and it will only continue to get worse due to higher taxes and Governor Murphy’s minimum wage hike.” New Jersey ranks below bordering states such as Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut as businesses are beginning to leave for more affordable options. “The fact is businesses and residents will leave our state
for more profitable options if we continue this trend of high property and increased sales taxes,” added Assemblyman McGuckin. “Minimum wage hikes are a death sentence for our economy and our business climate as a whole. We can’t attract business owners, tourists or new residents to our state if we continue make this state unaffordable.” The study grades all 50 states based on 10 catego-
ries including workforce, infrastructure, cost of business and quality of life. “We are extremely concerned about New Jersey’s overall economic future,” said Assemblyman Wolfe. “We’ve seen the impact at the local level with the biggest hit to small businesses and tourism at the Jersey Shore. We must work to lower taxes and make this state more desirable for businesses to grow and prosper.”
Murphy: State Sues IRS Over Deduction Limit Imposed On Charity
TRENTON – Acting to protect state taxpayers from the Trump Administration’s repeated efforts to unfairly target them, Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced that New Jersey has filed a federal lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Treasury Department. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the lawsuit seeks to strike down a new IRS rule that would prevent New Jersey residents from obtaining a full federal charitable deduction whenever they contribute to local governments and other qualifying institutions and receive tax credits in return. The federal government began targeting states like New Jersey two years ago when it enacted a 2017 tax overhaul that placed, for the first time, a $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes (SALT). The SALT cap disproportionately harmed taxpayers in New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York. At the time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin – named as a defendant in the lawsuit – confirmed that the SALT deduction cap was intended to “send a message” to states like New Jersey that they would need to change their tax policies. To ease the burden of New Jersey taxpayers, Governor Murphy signed S1893/A3499 into law, which allowed residents to make charitable
contributions to qualifying local institutions, and to receive partial tax credits of up to 90 percent against their local property tax bills when they did so. At least 33 states have developed over 100 charitable contributions programs, similar to the one established by S1893/A3499, that provide a state or local tax benefit in return for a charitable contribution to a qualifying entity under Section 170(c). These programs incentivize individuals to donate to causes ranging from natural resource preservation and aid for higher education to domestic violence shelters. The IRS consistently treated charitable contributions made pursuant to these programs as fully deductible under federal tax law. But when New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut decided to establish such programs, the IRS changed its mind, and issued a new rule aimed at nullifying the tax benefit New Jersey was making available to charitable givers. The Final Rule requires taxpayers to subtract the value of any state and local tax credits they receive for charitable giving from their federal charitable contribution deduction. The requirement is unprecedented in the 101-year history of the charitable deduction, and flies in the face of prior IRS policy statements and tax court rulings on the issue. The New Jersey-led lawsuit describes IRS’s action as a “radical break” from historic
precedent, and describes the rule as arbitrary, outside the agency’s statutory authority, and a violation of the federal Administrative Procedures Act. In addition to being unlawful, the complaint asserts, the rule threatens economic harm to New Jersey and other states by discouraging charitable giving, and by depriving such local entities as school districts, municipalities, and counties of important funding. Indeed, because the law signed by Governor Murphy does not provide dollar-for-dollar tax credits, contributions made pursuant to that program would yield a net increase in local revenues, which local governments could use on vital services like education. “This is another unfair attack on our states coming out of Washington,” said Attorney General Grewal. “These tax credit programs were fine when 33 states had them. But when New Jersey, New York and Connecticut followed suit, the IRS adopted brand new rules to shut them down. As I promised when the IRS first proposed this rule, we’re taking the IRS to court to fight back.” The states of New York and Connecticut joined the lawsuit, which Governor Murphy and Attorney General Grewal announced at the South Orange Fire Department. “This is not a fight we asked for, but it is one we are proud to wage - on behalf of our taxpayers, and the countless others in our fellow states
who are realizing now that they are financial collateral damage to the Trump administration’s rank politicization of the tax code,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “We are committed to fighting Washington to end this unfair and unconstitutional tax on New Jersey’s taxpayers.” “The Trump administration and the IRS are trying to undermine states’ efforts to protect our taxpayers against the unprecedented, unlawful and politically motivated capping of the SALT deduction,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo. “The final IRS rule flies in the face of a century of federal
President & Publisher Stewart Swann
tax law that says state choices to provide tax incentives for charitable donations do not affect the federal deductibility of those gifts. Our message to Mr. Trump and the IRS is simple: we look forward to seeing you in court.” “The federal tax reforms approved by Congress were promoted as a tax cut, but in reality they’ve resulted in a tax hike for millions of citizens, including thousands here in Connecticut,” said Governor Ned Lamont. “This was a purely partisan bill and – let’s be frank – aimed directly at blue states like Connecticut, New York,
and New Jersey. It’s unfair, discriminatory, and unconstitutional.” “Our message to the IRS today is simple. No matter how many times you change your rules - from capping the SALT deduction to reversing your longstanding approach to charitable donations - we will challenge you in court,” said New Jersey Attorney General Grewal. “Our residents already pay more to the federal government than we get in return. That is why I remain committed to standing up for New Jersey taxpayers in the face of this onslaught coming out of Washington.”

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Do You Get What You Pay For?
We have become more and more health conscious. Visits to the dentist, eye doctor and family doctor have increased dramatically. Unfortunately, visits to the audiologist for suspicion of hearing loss have decreased. Most people are so busy visiting their doctors they have a tendency to put off seeking hearing health care for at least several years. As a general guideline, if you are asking your family or friends to repeat information on a daily basis, you should seek the services of an audiologist and have your hearing completely evaluated. Technology in the hearing aid world has dramatically blossomed. More and more individuals with hearing loss are interested in digital technology as opposed to conventional hearing aids, which are a thing of the past. A digital system incorporates listening from both ears through a computer which monitors speech sounds over a million times a second. Satisfaction studies clearly support the use of digital systems over conventional analog hearing aids. In my opinion, you get what you pay for. Digital hearing systems incorporating multiple microphone technology, enhanced noise reduction capabilities, data
logging and/or artificial intelligence are strongly recommended over those first generation digital hearing systems. The smaller completely-in-the-canal digital hearing systems (i.e. almost invisible hearing aids) should not increase the cost of hearing instruments. The technology within the hearing instrument determines the cost. As a general rule of thumb, in my opinion, the smaller the hearing aid, the more problems you will have with it. As a reminder, insist on a 30- to 75day trial period with all digital hearing systems. Since you have a greater investment, your expectations regarding communication improvement should be higher. In my opinion, some of the more advanced digital hearing systems are manufactured by Phonak, Siemens, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound and Oticon. If you are asking people to repeat, turning the TV or radio louder than normal or if your family or friends are complaining that you have a hearing problem, I would strongly encourage you to have your hearing evaluated by an audiologist. If you are in need of amplification, remember that you always get what you pay for.

Protect Yourself With Fruit By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Some people eat nothing but fruit. They are called fruitarians. While I do not advocate this diet for everyone, I do see the virtues in fruits! I highly recommend you include fruits in your diet. The primary reason is they taste great, give you natural fiber and contain natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. This will tamp down some of the pain cytokines that your body has run amok with. Here are some fruits of the season, and the primary reason I recommend them. Apricots Apricots are yellow-orange and the color comes from beta carotene which is a precursor to vitamin A. They also contain lutein and zeaxanthin. These are all useful for vision. Apricots have been studied for their beneficial role in fatty liver. Pomegranates These fruits contain compounds that naturally lower your blood pressure. If you drink more than say a shot glass per day, and you’re also taking blood pressure medications, your numbers may go too low. Pomegranate juice has another helpful effect on the body in that is a natural, mild blood thinner. Fig fruit. Figs are now being studied for their ability to help with diabetes, as well as hypertension. They are high in potassium (and low in sodium) which means they can reduce blood pressure. Figs contain abscisic acid, which has been studied for its ability to help with carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar. This fruit extract is in GlucoScript Max. Strawberries Strawberries are red from the anthocyanins. These gorgeous fruits contain ferulic acid have been shown to have a remarkably high scavenging activity toward chemically
generated radicals, thus making them effective in inhibiting oxidation of human LDLs Blackberries These contain antibacterial compounds that are thought to help with gum disease. They also contain lot of quercetin and ellagic acid which taken together act as very strong free-radical scavengers and protect your cells from DNA damage. This could be helpful if you have a history of cancer. Grapefruits This fruit can help with appetite suppression and may be useful as an adjunctive to your weight loss program and exercise regimen. It can spark more production of cholecystokinin which is a ‘stop sign’ for eating. Grapefruit rind (and orange rind) contain a lot of naringen, a compound that causes a bitter taste in the fruit. This compound is the one that interacts with some antihistamines and statins. That said, naringen is also known for its cough-suppressant action, and ability to help out with asthma. Apples These could help reduce stroke, compliments of the high amount of quercetin. This effect was even confirmed by a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition which evaluated 9,208 men and women, concluding, “The intake of apples is related to a decreased risk of thrombotic stroke.” Raspberries The fruit itself contains vitamin C, quercetin and ellagic acid. These are all strong antioxidants and fight cancer and inflammation. The leaves of raspberries have been used to create commercial teas which are widely available. The leaves contain fragarine, which is a strong inhibitor of uterine contractions. In other words, a cup of raspberry leaf tea can help with PMS.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right AutomobileRobert C. Shea Esq. Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide med-
ical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which Michael J. Deem includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Market Strong For Local Oysters
–Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn These fully grown oysters, being held by oyster farmer Tommy Burke, are ready to sell. By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Oyster farming is taking off on Barnegat Bay, with a demand for them so high that growers can’t keep up, said the operators of the Barnegat Oyster Collective, a distribution and advocacy organization for oyster farmers. Scott Lennox and Matt Gregg, both 35, are New Jersey natives who were roommates at

the University of Rhode Island. Oyster farming is a thriving industry in Rhode Island, so they learned about it while at school and came back home and decided to start a farm, Lennox said. “There was nothing in New Jersey, especially in Barnegat Bay, so we started out supersmall-time.

boat slip at Beaton’s Boatyard,” he said. “We had our first harvest in October 2012, right before Sandy. Then we got crushed.” The men spent the next few years reassessing how to go forward. They decided they needed to diversify their location and their method of farming. “The most important thing was, we couldn’t be the only ones doing this. We needed savvy baymen and baywomen to also be growing in the bay,” Lennox said. “Any other successful areas have a bunch of people doing it and teaching each other how to grow.” All underwater land is owned by the state, so in order to procure an area for oyster farming the men had to lease it from New Jersey. The leases are cheap, less than $100 a year, but when other costs are factored in, such as survey and permitting fees, licenses, insurance and more, the cost could go as high as $1,000 a year per acre, he said. “The DEP [Department of Environmental Protection] only allows the growing of oysters in the most pristine areas, which are regularly monitored by the state,” Lennox said. “They also do not allow oyster farms where there is an existing population of hard clams, or near areas of large populations of eelgrass,” he said. “It’s an arduous process, and it can take about four years from the idea to a harvest.” Lennox and Gregg, who had full time jobs as a high school science teacher and in the music industry, respectively, quit their day jobs and spend about 100 hours a week tending to their own oyster farm, “Forty North Oyster Farm,” which includes growing areas just south of the Mantoloking Bridge in Brick; in Barnegat Light; and Little Egg Harbor. The lease in Brick includes about 20 acres. Only about five acres are currently being used for oyster farming, and some of that space was given to other oyster farmers, which include commercial fishermen, clammers, a restaurant group, and even a landscaper who grows the oysters as a side business, he said. “One main guy, Tommy Burke, has done the most to keep up good relations with the other users,” Lennox said. Burke, 24, was born and raised on Barnegat Bay in a waterfront neighborhood behind Beaton’s Boatyard. He attended Ocean County College for two years and got his four-year degree from Rutgers. He started his oyster
farm, “Sloop Point Oyster,” while he was a student at OCC. The young oyster farmer also has about 20 acres at the Brick location and raises two types of oysters: Sloop Point and Old Barney Salts which vary in flavor and shape. “There are many different methods of farming oysters, but you start with seeds, which are just a few millimeters and are essentially baby oysters,” Burke explained. The seeds can be purchased at hatcheries located along the coast from Florida to Maine. He bought his from Cape Cod Oyster Company, which raise the seeds from a “spat” stage to planting size. “Then I plant them,” he said. Oysters take between 18 months and two years to grow, depending on the seed and the weather Burke said. At the Brick location, where the water is five to eight feet deep, Burke grows oysters on shelves that are attached to black floats. The shelves have suspended square plastic mesh shelves which provide a home for the oysters to grow. He has separate fields of oysters that are different stages of growth. In Barnegat Light, where the water is more shallow, he grows the oysters in bottom cages. “Oysters feed off plankton, and each oyster can filter 50 gallons of water a day,” he said. Burke said the oyster growing business operates 12 months a year. Once the water temperature reaches 50 degrees, usually around Thanksgiving, oysters go dormant until the water goes back above 50 degrees, usually around Easter, he said. When they’re dormant they can still be harvested, they just can’t feed themselves, Burke explained. Sometimes in the winter Burke has to break the ice to get to the oysters, which is challenging but can also be nice, he said. “I’m in the groove, I’m making a living and enjoying it as well,” said Burke. The oyster farmers pool their oysters together and sell them, Lennox said. This year they harvested about 1.5 million oysters in Barnegat Bay, with an estimated 250,000 harvested from the Brick location alone. “There is an endless list and an endless demand of restaurants and retail stores who want to buy oysters, Lennox said. “We can’t see the ceiling - we can never fulfill the demand. It’s an amazing place to grow oysters and it’s a fortunate product to market in the tri-state area.”

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Bartley
Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living. Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents. One of them may be Emilia Harrison, who turned 93 years old on December 4, 2015, and has been a Bartley resident for over five years. “I don’t know where the time went,” she tells a visitor. Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. “You do what you want to do,” she says. For thirty years, Bartley
Healthcare has provided that flexibility to seniors requiring a wide range of facility services, thanks to Chief Executive Offi cer Philip Scalo and his physician partners. “My partners had a very big practice in Jackson,” Scalo says. “We thought we could open a facility and do a very good job meeting residents’ needs.” With his financial and legal expertise, Scalo and his physician partners make a good team. Others think so, too. The Orchards at Bartley has rec eived nu merous awards for excellence from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services in partnership with the Healthcare Asso ciation of New Jersey (HCANJ); the American Healthcare Association/ National Center for Assisted Living; and the Assisted Living Federation of America. “What we’ve always
tried to do is be leaders in our field,” Scalo says. For the past three decades, that has been the hallmark of the Bartley experience for residents and the staff that ser ve their healthcare
needs. Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground. Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties. Bar tley Healthc are began expanding its’ range of services and facilities by opening a memory care unit and a post-acute rehabilitation unit where patients typically stay less than 30 days, then return to their homes. Today, Bartley Healthcare is a 234-bed facility offering a full range of skilled nursing services for orthopedic conditions and post-surgical joint replacements; cardiac and post-cardiac surgery recovery programs; enteral feeding; IV therapy, multiple trauma; pain management; respiratory; stroke; tracheostomy; and wound care.
The campus facilities also offer inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation; assisted living; memory care programs; respite/ hospice; and at-home services. “We started with a basic concept, understanding and meeting the individual needs of both resident and patient,”Scalo says. “Each step of our development has been based on the need for services. (For example,) in the late 1990s, we saw the need for memor y care programs.” Scalo says that he and his partners have plans to add respirator y ser vices and a sub-acute program for Alzheimer’s patients.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Lighten Up Your Summer Dessert With Seasonal Stone Fruit By Wolfgang Puck When I walk through my local farmers market right now, I couldn’t be happier. Why? We’re right in the middle of summer stone fruit season. Peaches. Nectarines. Apricots. Plums. Cherries. Some of the most succulent fruits imaginable are at their peak right now. I could make a meal for myself by just strolling past the stalls and enjoying all the samples! Nothing quite matches the simple pleasure of eating these juicy fruits by hand. But eventually, people who love to cook want to try creating something with them in the kitchen. Because stone fruit are so juicy and sweet, along with a wonderful touch of acidity, they find their way happily into not only sweet recipes but also savory ones. I’ve enjoyed spicy barbecue sauces and chutneys made from them, as well as chunks of the fresh fruit tossed into chicken or seafood salads. Naturally, though, you’ll get around to making a summer fruit dessert. There are delicious peach, apricot or cherry ice creams, and pies beyond description; not to mention cakes and sweet quick breads studded with juicy, jewel-like nuggets. For me, however, the ultimate summer desserts have got to be cobblers. Compotes of cooked fruit topped with thin, rustic-looking layers of pastry or biscuit dough and then baked in the oven until golden-brown on top and bubbling underneath. The name alone is so much fun, suggesting something homespun that has been “cobbled” together. (Some food historians will also tell you that rough pieces of cobbler dough placed on top of the filling resemble an old-fashioned cobblestone street.) I must admit, though, that I do sometimes have one problem with cobblers: Their dough toppings can feel a bit heavy on the stomach, especially at the end of a generous meal on a hot summer evening. So, what can you do? Many years ago, at Spago, we came up with an ingenious solution: replacing the traditional heavier topping with one of the lightest forms of pastry imaginable. Phyllo, the ultra-thin sheets of dough popular in the Middle East, is readily available. (You can find premade packaged phyllo dough in the freezer case of well-stocked supermarkets, or buy it online. Thaw the dough before use, following the manufacturer’s instructions.) As described in the following recipe, the phyllo dough is easily cut into thin strips that are arranged into nest-like ring shapes, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and briefly baked. Then, once the fruit mixture (here, a combination of nectarines, cherries, apricots ad blackberries) has been cooked in the oven in individual ramekins, each serving is topped with its own “nest” of crispy, flavorful, golden phyllo. It’s all so simple, and sure to earn the delighted admiration of your summertime dinner guests. SUMMER FRUIT COBBLER WITH PHYLLO NESTS Serves 8 For the phyllo nests: 1 8-ounce (250-g) roll packaged phyllo, refrigerated or frozen and thawed 1/3 cup (85 g) granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Nonstick spray For the cobbler filling: 2 pounds (500 g) ripe nectarines, halved, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices 1 pound sweet cherries, pitted 3/4 pound (185 g) ripe apricots, halved, pitted, and thinly sliced 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) all-purpose flour 1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved with the pod 1 cinnamon stick Pinch freshly grated nutmeg 4 cups (1 L) fresh blackberries 1/3 cup (85 mL) Streusel (recipe follows) Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 360 F (175 C). With nonstick spray, coat the insides of 8 ramekins, each 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm) wide by 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. Set aside. For the phyllo nests: Unwrap the phyllo, but leave the sheets rolled up together. On a clean cutting board, use a sharp knife to cut the roll crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices. Gently toss to separate into loose strips. You should have about 8 cups (2 L). In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure 1 cup of loosely packed phyllo strips, and arrange in a 4-inch (10-cm) ring on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo for a total of 8 rings. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, spray lightly with nonstick spray, and bake until golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Bring a kettle of water to a boil. For the cobbler filling, in a medium saucepan combine the nectarines, cherries, apricots, sugar, lemon juice, flour, vanilla seeds and pod, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until the juices start to thicken but the fruit is still firm, about 5 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod and cinnamon stick. Stir in the blackberries. Divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins. Sprinkle streusel on top. Place the ramekins in a baking pan. Pull out the oven rack partway and place the pan on it. Then, carefully pour boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully slide the rack into the oven. Bake until the juices are thick, about 30 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and set the ramekins aside to cool for a few minutes. Transfer each ramekin to a serving plate. Place a phyllo nest on top. Serve immediately. STREUSEL Makes about 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) 1/4 cup (60 g) unblanched whole shelled almonds 1/3 cup (85 mL) all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Pinch of ground cardamom 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) quick-cooking rolled oats Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and slightly darkened, 15 to 18 minutes, turning occasionally with a metal spatula. Cool to room temperature. Coarsely chop by pulsing briefly in a food processor with the stainless-steel blade. Set aside. In the processor, combine the flour, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Pulse several times to combine. Add the butter, and process just until the mixture comes together. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the oats and almonds, and stir well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
