Freehold Township Committee Meeting Tuesday Night

When the Freehold Township Committee meets tonight there should be good news for people who drive Strickland Road as part of a full agenda.

One item under new business is the acceptance of a contract to resurface Strickland Road as part of the Municipal Aid Program for the 2012 fiscal year. The township is also selling a vehicle to the Freehold First Aid Squad as part of the consent agenda and is accepting a grant from the Department of Transportation to take part in the Safe Corridors Project.  

It Should be a beautiful day in our area with a high 70 before dropping to a low of 44 at night. The National Weather Service is calling for a sunny day and a mostly clear night continuing a trend that is expected to last through the rest of the week.

Over the course of the weekend it was International Rabbit Day, Miniature Golf Day, Elephant Appreciation Day and Checkers Day. Today is National Cherries Jubilee Day.

On this date in 1789 Congress passed the First Judiciary Act which created the Attorney General and Supreme Court. The Brooklyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field on this date in 1957 and 60 Minutes premiered on CBS in 1968.

Famous birthdays today include football hall of famer “Mean” Joe Greene, news anchor Lou Dobbs and actor Kevin Sorbo. F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on this date in 1896. Puppeteer Jim Henson would have turned 77-years-old today.
