HIGHEST RATED CASH FOR GOLD STORE IN OCEAN COUNTY
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Council members discussed a wide range of subjects during a recent meeting ranging from traffic reports, a property purchase and even a pair of young entrepreneurs who are busy peddling fruits and vegetables in town. Council President Jennifer Kuhn said during her opening council comment remarks that she had just been in an accident and that her truck had been totaled on her way to the meeting. On a happier note, she spoke about Ava and Lucas, two children (brother and sister) who are operating a vegetable stand in the township and whose experience doing so she saw chronicled on social media. “Every day they are engaged with customers developing their financial skills and unlocking their creative potential to enhance and organize their stand,” the council president said. She had spoken to their parents and shared photos of their stand in a digital display during the meeting. Kuhn added, “This is Jackson. This is still going on and you can still go and get fresh fruit and vegetables from ‘Kids Stand’ which is their job on weekends and after school. It is at 869 Lakehurst Avenue in Jackson and they are open from dawn to dusk. I think it is really adorable to see kids at such an age doing that. It is very cute.” Turning to the meatier subject of traffic safety Kuhn said she received some traffic reports from the Traffic Safety Division of the police department. (Council - See Page 4)
