By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Members of the Jackson Pathfinders along with other volunteers gathered recently at one of the township’s trails to in-
stall exit signs at five key locations. “Our new signs point the way to the main parking lot as well as to two alternate exits. These signs will facili-
tate a stress-free escape from the trail if ever necessary. They might even save someone’s life in an emergency,” longtime Jackson Pathfinders member Dan
Green said. “Last June I wrote a proposal to install exit signs at five key intersections along the Purple Heart Trail. During (Trail - See Page 4)
Construction To Be Banned At Night
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township Council members said a noise ordinance wasn’t enough to prevent people from doi ng const r uction at night or early in the morning. Councilman Nino Borrelli spoke about the “qualit y of life issue that was brought to the attention of the council by residents.” It inspired a new ordi-

I don’t t h i n k a nyone i n this room wants
construction to occur at 2 o’clo ck i n t he morning. It is pretty common sense so we moved pretty quickly as a council to make the changes. The hours will be limited to such that construction will not occur to what is con side red overnight,” Councilman Sauickie said. During a more recent council meeting where

Jackson Calls For State To Cover Busing Costs By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Township officials are calling for the state to cover the transportation costs of their out of district students, noting that all school districts should be covered for this state mandate. The state mandate currently requires local school districts to fund that bus service. In some cases, students who attend a non-public school may be entitled to transportation provided by the public school district in the community in which they live. The administrators of public school districts have the option to provide a payment in lieu of transportation to the families of non-public school students who qualify for transportation. Councilman Alex Sauickie commented on the resolution which urges the “State of New Jersey (to) cover the cost for a state mandate that currently has municipalities (Busing - See Page 5)
