Residents Asked To Report Street Lights That Are Out By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Some might recall a 1977 song by singer Debbie Boone called, “You Light Up My Life” and in a similar fashion, township officials are looking to light up the lives of those living on some of the community’s darker streets that have burnt out bulbs. Council President Mordechai Burnstein brought up the subject during a recent Township Council meeting. He reported a township e-mail was set up to report street lights that have gone out. “People can call up and report that they have gone out themselves.” He said the mayor had met with JCP&L representatives about the problem and was told that the township should compile a list. Burnstein noted, “there are three types of issues we’ve noticed that are coming our way. One is burnt out bulbs…The township is paying for every burnt-out bulb even if a light is not working.” “Secondly you have utility poles that do not have bulbs. Some of them are meant to, some of them obviously are not meant to, and then you have some dark areas that don’t have any light bulbs,” he said. “The town is not looking to light up Jackson like the city of New York.

Every year, Clean Ocean Action meets busloads of kids at Island Beach State Park for a student summit. They learn lessons from environmentalists in the field – as well as peers who are just a little older than them. They went to stations around the interpretive center.
