It wasnt Gov. Dannel Malloys first

visit to Jones Family Farms.
We came up to Pumpkinseed Hill
quite often when the kids were young,
Gov. Malloy said, standing inside the
farms new barn. One way or another
you guys provide my Christmas tree
every year at least one, sometimes
three.
The Governor and Catherine Smith,
commissioner of the state Department
of Economic and Community
Development made Jones Farms a stop
on their jobs tour last week.
It was the tours second Shelton stop.
It was clear the governor was familiar
with business at Jones.
Terry Jones was joined by his father
Philip Jones, 93, and son, Jamie Jones,
the fourth generation Jones farmer.
This is just a great family story,`until
Jamie got in the wine business, Malloy
said joking.
State Rep. Larry Miller R-122, was
also at the event to support the Jones
family.
It was an early jobs tour stop when
we first talked, Smith said to Terry
Jones. We had a really great conversation and we decided to add Jones Farms
to the job tour.
Gov. Malloy pledged his support to
the states farming industry, noting its a
$3.5 billion industry that is responsible
for 16,000 to 22,000 jobs.
We are looking at the size of the
industry, Gov. Malloy said. Were
looking at more ways to be helpful. We
are working hard are trying to turn the
economy around including agriculture.
The family hosted the governor in the
new barn, because the barn was built
using all local companies and resources.
The companies that contributed to the
project are: Country Carpenters, Farm

Jamie Jones, Gov. Dannel Malloy and Terry Jones get ready to take a

Its great to have so many jobs in
the state dedicated to such great work,
Smith said.
Randy Fiveash, division director of
the state Tourism Division and Steven
Reviczky, commissioner of the state
Department of Agriculture were also
present during the visit.
Our farms are an important part of
our tourism, Fiveash said, highlighting
the Jones Winery.
The diversity of the operation is
exemplary, Reviczky said of Jones

Farms. The public is demanding more

locally-grown items and farms like
Jones is rising to the occasion.
Terry Jones said he was thrilled to
have the governor stop by.
We are the original made in
Connecticut, he said.
He said he was happy with the governors support of agriculture. He said scientists from state agri-science programs
were at the farm recently researching
controls for fruits pests.
Terry Jones was also appointed to the
state Board of Education and is excited
about talks to get locally-grown food in
public schools.
We are poised to have the best
days yet to come for agriculture in
Connecticut, Jones said.

Library holds yoga

Veterans with disabilities offered tax breaks
session for those with
limited abilities

Plumb Memorial Library

welcomes a special session
of Yogability & You on
Monday, Sept. 12 at 2:30 p.m.
The monthly session of the
regional Multiple Sclerosis
support group hosts Shelley
Katzman of Long Island.
Katzman created Yogability
& You specifically for people
with limited mobility, balance
issues, seniors and those living
with Multiple Sclerosis, arthritis, Parkinsons, fibromyalgia
and other degenerative conditions.
I combine simple breathing, relaxation and stretching
techniques to help reduce pain,
stress and fatigue, increase circulation, improve flexibility
and enhance quality of life,
she said.
This approach is not found
in many community yoga programs, as those are geared
for folks who can move to

the floor and retain basic balance skills. Yoga training will
provide participants with easy,
can-do self-empowering techniques and tools that can be
incorporated into a daily routine.
Yogability and you is
offered as a safe and effective
chair yoga DVD and will be
available for sale at the library
session. It is also available
from the National MS Society.
Katzman has a history of
working with the MS Society
and in support of individuals
with Multiple Sclerosis.
More information is available at Katzmans Web site
yogabilityandyou.com. The
session at Plumb Memorial
Library, 65 Wooster Street is
free and open to anyone who
is interested. The meeting
room is handicapped accessible. For more information
call 203-924-1580.

The city clerks office sent out

a reminder to all Shelton veterans
who served in the Armed Forces of
the United States during wartime, or
who have a disability rating from the
Veterans Administration.
The reminder is for vets to file their
Honorable Discharge Papers with their
office on or before Friday, Sept. 30,
in order to warrant qualification for a
Veteran Exemption. If the papers are
already on file, they do not need to be
resubmitted.
When all requirements under state
law are satisfied, the veteran is eligible
for a $3,000 exemption, or greater for
those with a disability rating, which
is applied to the assessed value of
property.
According to William Gaffney, assessor, additional programs are available.

A veteran whose adjusted gross

income (plus Social Security) for the
calendar year 2010 is less than $39,500
if married, or $32,300 if single, is eligible to file for an additional state and
local program. Proof of income must
accompany the applicant.
Applications for both programs have
been taken by the assessors office,
Shelton City Hall, since February,
and will continue to be accepted until
Friday, Sept. 30.
Any disabled veteran who received
the Statement Form Benefit Payment
Record, VA Form 20-5455 from the
Department of Veteran Affairs and
has never submitted it to the Shelton
Assessors Office, is to do so by Sept.
30, in order to receive the disability
exemption.
Annual submission of VA Form 20-

5455 is no longer required, unless the

percentage of disability has changed.
Under a municipal ordinance passed
by the Board of Aldermen in 1991, a
veteran who is disabled and owns a
motor vehicle specially equipped for
the purpose of adapting its use to the
disability of the veteran, is entitled
to total exemption from taxes on the
vehicle. Upon application of claim,
documentary evidence is to be presented that the vehicle is specially
equipped.
Annual application is required.
Forms are available at the assessors
office, and are also being accepted
until Sept. 30.
For more information on veterans
exemptions, call the assessors office
at 203-924-1555 ext. 352, Monday
through Friday, 8 to 5:30 p.m.

Connecticut fairs and farms

As the summer months
come to an end, we all begin
thinking about the cooler
weather, the fall foliage and,
of course, fall family traditions such as weekend trips
around the state.
And as my family gets
back into the busy school
year and all the kids lacrosse
and hockey games, we enjoy
supporting our local farms.
Throughout the fall we take
time to visit local farms to
pick apples, drink cider, wander through corn mazes, or
experience a hay ride. These
trips are a fun way to enjoy
the fall season, and an even
better way to support our
local family farms, businesses
and economy.
Like me, I am sure many
of you also make one of our
states fairs an annual family
tradition where you can enjoy
food, rides, games, animals,
music, art, local crafts and
Connecticut culture.
Additional information
about upcoming fairs and
local farms can be found
