By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Kaleigh Brendle, 19, has headed back to Villanova University and either wants to be a disability rights attorney or a musician and with her energy, she could probably do both. The teenager hasn’t let her visual limitations stop her love of performing music but it did inspire her
to fight for proper accommodations for those who are visually impaired. Brendle, a resident of Brick, and a high school graduate from Howell Township, worked to secure appropriate accommodations for those like herself from the College Board. (Kaleigh - See Page 5)
Driving Safety Noted By Council By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Major upgrades and improvement projects are well underway at several Township athletic complexes and these projects are expected to be complete this autumn. The township invested $2.9 million in new turf and site improvements. This has caused some sports activities to be relocated until projects are finished. Township officials recently announced that that the upgrades and improvements had begun at both the Jackson Justice Complex and the Holman Athletic Complex. Mayor Michael Reina said, “investments in
our recreational facilities are investments in our families and in our kids. The Township Council is very pleased to see this work getting underway and we look forward to the completion of all projects over the coming months.” Existing turf will be removed on the various synthetic turf athletic fields at both work sites. Site work and the installation of the new synthetic turf will continue into the fall, with all work tentatively scheduled to be completed prior to Thanksgiving. (Field - See Page 4)
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - Township officials approved an ordinance concerning certain no-parking zones which was first introduced on July 26. The ordinance applies to Larson Road and County Route 14 and was unanimously approved by those present. Council Vice President Andrew Kern was absent from that session. Council President Martin Flemming called for residents to start paying closer attention to traffic rules
when it comes to emergency vehicles such as ambulances and firetrucks. “The rule is to pull over and stop. You need to start doing that.” Council members also approved a resolution authorizing a vendor for the purchase of video camera surveillance from the firm Turnkey Technology for the Jackson Township Police Department. The Council also supported a resolution supporting legislation that would restore energy tax payments (Safety - See Page 8)
