“Their evaluation suggests that one side of the street parking can work as opposed to a full non-parking restriction,” Minischino said. The right side of the road leading out of Davos Road is the side that can accommodate parking because it has curbs, he said. “So that’s different from what we said on the first reading, so we did decide, after the new evaluation, to have parking on one side of the street,” he said. “Me, personally, I think it was a good decision.” The council members unanimously voted in favor of the amended parking restriction ordinance on its final reading.

Councilman Steps Down

In other news, Councilman Art Halloran has resigned, effective September 30. Halloran, who was not present at the council meeting, has served as a councilman since 2015. His term expires in December 2023. Township attorney Scott Kenneally explained the process for replacing a council member’s unexpired term. A state law addresses vacancies in governing bodies, he said. Brick Township is a partisan form of government. Since Art Halloran is a Democrat, a committee of township Democrats had to submit three names to the council, who, regardless of their political party, must select from those three nominees to fill the vacancy. After a nomination has been made, a majority of a quorum decides who will fill the unexpired term. Councilwoman Heather deJong nominated Derrick Ambrosino, who she said has shown great leadership over the years. The vote for Ambrosino was anonymous. The other two nominees were Maria Foster and Tom Curtis. Mayor John G. Ducey called Art Halloran a great councilman. “He always had perfect business acumen after all of his years working in New York…and total common sense,” the mayor said. “He always led by example by being thorough in his research in the different issues he was involved with.” Halloran was always thorough and looked into things before making a decision, the mayor said. “I’m going to miss him, for sure,” Mayor Ducey said. “I wish him well and I hope he enjoys his full retirement at this stage of the game.” After the meeting, Halloran said it was a hard decision, but felt it was “time to back off” after experiencing some life changes, including the sudden loss of his wife two years ago. The couple was married for 52 years. “I can’t say enough about my colleagues on the council and the great administration,” he said in a phone call. “I’m proud to be a resident of Brick and to have served under Mayor John Ducey.” Halloran said he took a couple of weeks off last year and felt guilty for missing some meetings. “I kept in touch, but I felt it was time for me to retire,” he said. “Life is short.” The next Council Meeting will be on Tuesday, October 25 at 7 p.m.

FLUFFY BISCUITS WITH JUICY PEACHES AND AIRY WHIPPED CREAM GIVE THAT SUMMER FEELING ANY TIME

By America’s Test Kitchen

Missing summer already? The good news is you can enjoy peach shortcakes any time! Start with frozen peaches and you’re on your way to making a delicious treat with a summery vibe.

Quick whipped tip If you’re making your own whipped cream, it is important not to overwhip the cream. But what happens if you take whipped cream too far? Cream, like butter and vinaigrette, is an emulsion. It’s made of tiny droplets of fat suspended in water. As you whip cream, tiny air bubbles become held in place by those droplets of fat, making it light and fluffy. But if you whip cream for too long, the emulsion of fat and water breaks! The droplets of fat clump together and separate from the liquid. The good news is that you’re on your way toward making butter. The bad news is that you’ll need to start your whipped cream over again, so be sure to keep a careful eye on your cream as you beat it. In the end, if you want to save time, simply buy some whipped cream from the grocery store when you pick up the frozen peach slices.

PEACH SHORTCAKES

Makes 4 shortcakes

1 pound sliced frozen peaches, thawed 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 3 tablespoons plus 1 tablespoon sugar, measured separately, plus extra for sprinkling 1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup buttermilk 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 cups whipped cream

1. Use dry measuring cups to measure out 3/4 cup peaches and transfer to a cutting board. Set aside remaining peaches. Roughly chop 3/4 cup peaches. 2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped peaches, ground ginger, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Use a rubber spatula to stir until well combined. Heat in the microwave until peaches are bubbling, about 1 1/2 minutes. 3. Remove bowl from microwave. Use potato masher to crush chopped peaches. Add remaining sliced peaches to bowl and use rubber spatula to stir until combined. Let sit until peaches are juicy, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. 4. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 5. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. 6. In a liquid measuring cup, use a fork to stir buttermilk and melted butter until butter forms small clumps. 7. Add buttermilk mixture to bowl with flour mixture. Use a clean rubber spatula to stir until combined. 8. Spray inside of 1/2-cup dry measuring cup with vegetable oil spray. Use a greased measuring cup to scoop batter and use butter knife to scrape off extra batter. Drop 4 scoops onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between biscuits. Sprinkle each biscuit generously with extra sugar. 9. Place baking sheet in oven. Bake biscuits until the tops are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. 10. Remove baking sheet from oven and place on a cooling rack. Let biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. (This is a good time to make your whipped cream if using homemade.) 11. When biscuits are ready, split biscuits open with a clean fork. Transfer biscuits to individual serving plates. Use a slotted spoon to divide peaches evenly among biscuit bottoms. Top each with a spoonful of whipped cream and 1 biscuit top. Serve.
