Its great to be a resident of
Northeld. It is a 10-minute ride
from the beaches of Margate and
Longport, has an excellent school
system, a great library, a beautiful
park, ponds for shing, ball elds for
sports and recreation activities, great
sports organizations and many faithful
volunteers to run them.
Those amenities will help our
children develop into the ne young
men and women they will become
when they grow up. To top it off,
Northeld has a wonderful bike path
for walks, bike rides or just sitting on
a bench watching the people go by.
Yes, many amenities are available
to help develop our children and
bring pleasure and tranquility to all
our residents who choose to take
advantage of them.
Great communities deserve great
schools, and the Northeld area is
more than just a great place to live,
work and play it is also a great
place to learn. Our city values public
education and provides students
with cutting-edge opportunities and
learning tools.
For students in kindergarten through
grade 12 there are many exceptional
choices: a public school system,
and parochial, charter and technical
schools are either in town or a short
commute away. High school graduates
have an option for further study close to
home, with associate degree programs
and colleges within driving distance
at nearby Stockton College. The
Northeld area offers a wide diversity
of education choices for all ages.
Safe and secure with its own police
and re departments, low crime rate
and a solid city government, Northeld
offers its residents a lot to be grateful
for and look forward to for years to
come.
Make sure you all turn out for our
Memorial Day and Fourth of July
parades and have a visit to our
Veterans Park on Memorial Day. It is
a true work in progress and getting
better with each coming day, thanks to
the hard work and dedication of Bob
Webb.
North eld: a great place to live, work and play

Mayor
Many residents who choose to live in Linwood most
likely chose the city for all the same reasons. Its a beautiful
city with safe streets and a great school system. The town
of Linwood has become unique in the sense that, unlike
our neighbors, we have mostly remained a residential
community. I can tell you that this was by design and not
by accident.
Our city seal hanging in council chambers at City
Hall is inscribed with three words: recreation, education
and family. How lucky are we to be living in a community
where these values are considered the most important. In
this day and age I think its amazing that to us in Linwood,
it is not just an inscription on a seal or mere rhetoric. These
three values of recreation, education and family are not
only our citys goals, they are also our citys reality. The
success our city has enjoyed is because we have not wa-
vered from these principles. And our success in the future
will depend upon our adherence to the same.
From City Council to our employees, the volunteers on
our boards and committees, and the residents themselves,
we live by these principles every day because they are our
common interests they are our guiding light. Regardless
of age, race or religion, we all want the same things and we
all work toward the same goals: recreation for young and
old, a quality education for our children, and a safe place
to raise our family.
Linwood ts the bill and then some. Linwood is a great
town and a great place to live.
Linwoods priorities: recreation, education and family
Richard DePamphilis
is the mayor of
Linwood.

By JOHN L. JACK GLASSER
Mayor
One of my earliest memories of Somers
Point is driving down Shore Road with my
family, crossing the old trolley bridge by
Somers Mansion and being in awe of the
beauty of Great Egg Harbor Bay. Ill always
remember that all of a sudden there was the
bay, and how big it appeared to me then
as a 9-year-old, not realizing that just a few
short years later I would be moving here and
getting to see the sight every day.
Its funny how much things have changed
since then. The trolley bridge is gone; so are
Tony Marts, Bayshores and the famous Defeo
Duck at Bethel and New roads. But there are
so many things that make Somers Point spe-
cial that are still here, and most important are
the people who live, work and visit our town.
We have lots to be proud of in Somers
Point. We have some of the best restaurants
on the entire Eastern Seaboard, a rst-class
medical facility in Shore Medical Center,
an outstanding golf course in Greate Bay
County Club, our Bayfront Historical District,
our school system, the Somers Point Police
Department, and the Somers Point Fire De-
partment, just to name a few.
We are so lucky to have these things in our
town, in addition to Kennedy Park and Mor-
row Beach. When you think about it, you have
to admit that Somers Point is a special place.
Even after Mother Nature threw a derecho
and Hurricane Sandy at us, we are still here.
What makes this town so special is that the
people of this town are special.
Our founders had the foresight to build on
this beautiful piece of land overlooking Great
Egg Harbor. It has been the responsibility of
all those who came after the Somers family to
improve on what we have here, and I think we
are on the right track.
Our police, re and emergency manage-
ment personnel did their jobs and more
for the well-being of the town. Our public
works department worked countless hours
to ensure that the debris from the storms
was cleaned up. All of these people have my
heartfelt gratitude and that of City Council for
everything that they do. To top it off, the re
departments and emergency management
are volunteers who bring new meaning to the
word dedication.
When people ask me why Im so proud of
the city and of being mayor, all I have to do is
stop and look around. Its because we have
something great here in Somers Point.
Somers Point is something special

The Northeld Mothers League
has been helping families in the
community for more than 80
years. Its goal is to provide assis-
tance to Northeld families and
other community and volunteer
organizations. The donations the
mothers league receives are used
for purposes such as supplying
food and clothing, paying utili-
ty bills and providing gas station
certicates to families traveling to
out-of-town hospitals.
As a service organization, the
league shows its support in many
ways for example, cleaning
yards, painting, participating in
charity runs and walks, and adopt-
ing a road in Northeld.
The groups activities are fund-
ed through events such as the
Northeld Skate Night, an annual
spaghetti dinner, the Birch Grove
Park Easter egg hunt, providing
Thanksgiving soup and cookies
to residents, and Parranda (carol-
ing throughout the city). Although
some of these are fundraisers,
many are events enjoyed and
shared throughout the community.
For information contact Christy
Wimberg at cawim@aol.com.
Northeld Mothers League
has a history of helping
The Northeld Mothers League is a presence at every City of North-
eld event, including the Fourth of July parade.
Friends of the North eld Library
sponsors annual events for all
The Otto Bruyns Northeld Public Library, an independent library, is a
hub for activity in the city. Working closely with the Northeld Library and
its activities director Paul Bruner is the Friends of the Northeld Library.
The group holds two bake and book sales each year and sponsors sev-
eral events including the Little Princess Party and the Pirates Party and
raises money in support of the library.
We support the library nancially and we also help with extra hands at
their many events, said Heather Mellon, president of the Friends group.
We have a good group of people and a great time at the library events.
The group of volunteers works very hard, but they really enjoy what they
are doing at the library so it hardly feels like work at all.
The recently completed community room inside the library has provid-
ed the Friends a great space for their book and bake sale along with all
of their other events that draw a large group.
The Friends of the Northeld Library is open to anyone who would like
to join; dues are $5 annually for an individual, $10 for a family and $100
for a lifetime membership.
To join or to get more information contact the library at 609-646-4476.
The Otto Bruyns Northeld Library is located at 241 W. Mill Road.
The Northeld Community
School at 2000 Mill Road is home
to more than a thousand students.
The elementary school on the
rst oor houses prekindergar-
ten through fourth grade with
Maureen Vaccaro as principal.
On the second oor is the middle
school, where Principal Glenn
Robbins oversees grades fth
through eight. The superintendent
of the Northeld School District is
Janice Fipp.
The Northeld Community
School opened in 1998. Prior
to that time Northeld students
attended neighborhood schools:
the Kresge School on Oak Av-
enue, the Mill Road School, the
Mount Vernon Avenue School and
the Locuson School on Burton
Avenue. The NCS was built on the
grounds of the Mill Road School
at New and Mill roads, and the
neighborhood schools were sold.
The Locuson School is now
home to the Yale School, a
rst through 12th grade private
school for students from around
the tri-county area. The former
Kresge School is now home
to Coastal Learning Center, a
rst through grade 12 school
for students with cognitive and
developmental challenges. They
are in their third year in Northeld
and have students from across
southern New Jersey.
NCS has the Olweus anti-bul-
lying program in place, starting
in the elementary grades. The
middle school has become a
Renaissance school, a part of
the popular character education
program to bring about positive
changes in school by rewarding
students for making good choices
both in and out of the classroom.
As part of the Renaissance
community service programs,
NCS students have been good
neighbors to Sister Jeans Kitchen
in Atlantic City making hundreds
of peanut butter and jelly sand-
wiches for the homeless and they
go several times a year to help in
the kitchen and serve lunch.
The middle school has in place
the Talk About It program,
which gives seventh- and eighth-
grade students an opportunity
to anonymously reach out to
teachers. Students can report an
incident or look for guidance from
North eld Community School puts children rst
a faculty member. The program
was instituted to help battle bul-
lying at the school and has been
very successful.
In 2010 NCS launched a ve-
year technology plan to chart
where the school aspires to be
in the future. A recently com-
pleted strategic plan led by Fipp
mapped out the direction of the
school for the next ve years in
terms of curriculum, technology
and discipline along with student
performance
The fourth-grade classrooms
piloted the use of ChromeBooks,
a netbook computer for content
and for use as a writing tool in
lieu of traditional laptop com-
puters. The experiment was
quite successful and expanded
beyond just the students and the
members of the Northeld Board
of Education used the same
classroom ChromeBooks for de-
livery of their voluminous material
for monthly board meetings in an
effort to reduce their environmen-
tal footprint.
The school is now fully Wi-Fi
accessible, the rst elementary
school in Atlantic County. Students
are bringing their own electronic
devices to school and using them
as classroom tools to help them do
research and solve problems.
The school is home to the
Thunderbirds sports teams
and enjoys a good reputation
for strong cross country, track,
eld hockey, boys soccer and
volleyball teams. The teams
are supported by a network of
parents and friends through the
Sports Boosters, which organizes
the annual Northeld Invitational
Tournament at the end of the
basketball season.
NCS enjoys success with its
sports programs, but also honors
academic success with the Tri-M
Music Honors and a Junior Na-
tional Honors Society.
The Northeld Education
Foundation sponsors several
after-school clubs such as the
Future Engineers Club, the
Chess Club and the Media and
Newspaper Club, which produces
the school newspaper, the T-Bird
Times. The school also has band,
chorus and an active environmen-
tal club. The Future Engineers are
frequent winners in a statewide
future cities competition.
Every year the school renews
its connection with local veterans
though programs that allow for
students to research and learn
about the men and women in their
communities who have served
their nation. The end result is
shared throughout the community
with posters and projects that
honor local military heroes. NCS
has been named an ofcial New
Jersey Veterans Day site.
The school districts motto is
Children First, and its Board
of Education follows policy that
keeps the school motto as a
cornerstone. Learning beyond
the school day is accomplished
through the SACC after-school
child care program and adult
evening classes, and for the last
eight years the Masons have
funded a program for children
with dyslexia. The district also
offers full-day kindergarten.
Northeld Community School
offers a summer camp program
for students in grades one
through eight and offers science,
drama, sports and other activities
at the close of the school year
through mid-August. For the sec-
ond summer the district will have
a week-long invention camp.
Call the school at 609-407-
4000 or visit the school website at
http://northeld.groupfusion.net.
The Northeld Community School is the rst elementary school in the county to be fully Wi-Fi accessible.

Staff Writer
Even in the age of the Internet
and high-tech video games, one
of the oldest groups in the country
continues to hold timeless appeal
for generations of young boys.
It really is as fun as you want to
make it and it is great to get them
away from the X-box and comput-
ers, said Assistant Scoutmaster
Rich Heim of Somers Point Troop
55.
Camping, hiking, shing and
community involvement all remain
the hallmarks of the Boy Scouts,
even after all these years.
The Scouts earn merit badges.
There are three different badges
community, nation and world. To
make Eagle, a Scout has to earn
21 merit badges and serve in sev-
eral community projects.
For these boys, helping the com-
munity is what it is all about. Wheth-
er it is weeding at a park or planting
trees for Arbor Day, the Scouts are
always willing to help out.
Troop 55 has about 20 mem-
bers ages 12-18.
The Scouts not only earn badg-
es for activities such as swimming
and citizenship, they also learn
basic skills such as tying knots
and cooking, Heim said.
And these Scouts love to put
their skills to the test. They go on
survival weekend trips and are
judged on areas such as shelter
building and re making, he said.
Each year Troop 55 goes away
for a week. The Scouts decide
where they want to go. This year,
as in past years, the troop will
head to Camp Roosevelt in Allo-
way Township, Salem County.
Scoutmaster Don Edwards of
Northeld Troop 72, which has
more than 30 members, said his
troops do many activities, and
community involvement is the top
priority.
Over the years the troop has
participated in activities including
weeding the Tyler Gordon Garden
at Birch Grove Park and planting
trees there, weeding and mulch-
ing the yard at Good Shepherd
United Methodist Church of North-
eld, helping with the Northeld
Public Library book drive, partici-
pating in food drives and cleaning
up the bike path from Northeld to
Pleasantville.
Edwards summed up what the
Boy Scouts are all about: The
scouting program is really to teach
them leadership, help people and
build a better community.
Mark Thompson, scoutmaster
of Linwood Troop 39, which has
31 members ages 11-17, said this
summer the Scouts are going to
Resica Falls Boy Scout Camp in
Pennsylvania.
I want the boys to have fun.
It is about working together, cre-
ating a bond, and learning about
Scouting, Thompson said, add-
ing that the troop is going rafting
next month.
Scouting is about a bunch of
kids getting together who love the
outdoors. Some like skiing, others
like shing. Our troop likes camp-
ing. The kids pick where they want
to go. The committee then deter-
mines if the trip is approved, he
said.
Boy Scouting holds timeless appeal

Mainland Regional High
School
Mainland Regional High School
at 1301 Oak Ave. is the home of
the Mustangs. The school earned
a Blue Ribbon for excellence
award in 2004. Mainland histor-
ically ranks among the top high
schools in the nation due in part
to the wide selection of advanced
placement courses offered and
the number of students who take
advantage of them. The school,
which is run by a separate re-
gional grades nine-12 district en-
compassing Linwood, Northeld
and Somers Point, was recently
ranked in the top 50 high schools
in New Jersey.
The goal of the school is to ed-
ucate the whole student; to meet
that challenge students can take
part in a variety of programs in-
cluding clubs, sports, performing
arts, student government, mock
trial, band and the academic
team. Students who need extra
help can mentor with students
in the National Honor Society.
Mainland annually has Bloust-
ein Scholars and National Merit
Scholars among its ranks.
The Mustang sports teams
historically do well in Cape At-
lantic League play. But there are
many popular activities outside of
sports. This past winter Mainland
students took rst place in the
New Jersey Drama and Forensic
League Championships and took
top honors in mock trial as well.
Opened in 1966, Mainland has
seen several large renovations
through the years. Most recently,
solar panels were installed on
the roof. With a new entrance to
the athletic complex, new class
space, a reconguration of the
administrative wing and front
ofce, new HVAC and lighting
along with new lockers, the
school has a brand new look.
Mainland is a New Jersey
Choice School and has 38 out-
of-district students attending
classes. Those Choice spots are
coveted and drawn by lottery as
there are many more applicants
than spaces available.
The principal is Mark Marrone.

Linwood schools stretch back more
than a century, starting around 1800 in
the old Friends Meeting House, which is
now part of the property of the Linwood
Country Club. The former Cedar Grove
Schoolhouse was on the corner of Shore
Road and Gareld Avenue, where there
is now a residence. It served families
in the southern half of what was then
Leedsville.
Near VanSant and Maple avenues,
a school called the Leeds Ville Acade-
my was holding class in 1843 through
1873, when the former Crestlea School,
now the Linwood Library, opened for
students living between Belhaven and
Central avenues.
Those on the other side of town, from
Belhaven to Ocean Heights avenues,
attended school in a home on Ocean
Heights Avenue called the Sea View
School.
The core of the present-day Belhav-
en Middle School had its start as the
Belhaven Avenue High School, built in
1908. That portion of the school is still
in operation and houses the fth-grade
wing. There have been additions and
renovations over the years, the most
recent in 1997 adding an auditorium,
distance learning center and media
center.

The Northeld Cultural Committee was com-
missioned by the City of Northeld in 1972 as
the Bicentennial Committee. Following the Bi-
centennial, the city authorized the committee to
continue as the Northeld Cultural Committee.
As such, it is caretaker of Northelds Museum in
Birch Grove Park and continues to organize and
run the Fourth of July Parade. Carol A. Patrick,
committee chairwoman, can be found at the Mu-
seum on Sundays.
In addition to awards given to students at lo-
cal schools, the committee requests and accepts
nominations for the Northeld Citizen of the Year,
Miss Fourth of July and the rst baby born each
year to Northeld parents. Those chosen are
honored at City Council and in the parade.
The Bandstand at Birch Grove Park, built for
the Bicentennial, holds concerts on summer
evenings. The bandstand was built by former
Northeld resident Jack English and designed
by Howard Bud Stout, another former resident.
Mementos of Northelds past are stored in the
museum under the careful supervision of cura-
tor Roy W. Clark. Among the donated items are
Mill Road School class photographs from the late
1800s, a 1904 map of Bakersville (Northelds
previous name) and many wonderful things too
numerous to list here. The museum is open 1-3
p.m. Sundays and Wednesdays.
Those interested in becoming members of the
Cultural Committee should email City Clerk Mary
Canesi at mcanesi@cityofnortheld.org. Volun-
teers are always needed to help with fundraising
projects that support the museum. Call 609-383-

House on Facebook.
Northfield Cultural Committee keeps history alive
Seniors can live independently, stay active with help of county services
By LAURA STETSER
Staff Writer
For senior citizens residing in Northeld,
Linwood and Somers Point, there are an abun-
dance of opportunities and services available,
from accommodation to recreation to medical
care.
Seniors who are seeking to maintain an in-
dependent lifestyle while dealing with physi-
cal issues may be able to take advantage of
Atlantic Countys Fix-It program, which was
established to enable residents over the age
of 60 to remain in their own home by providing
safety features such as handrails or making
minor home repairs.
For information or assistance call 888-426-
9243. Staff members knowledgeable in a va-
riety of programs are available during regular
working hours.
Established social service resources in-
clude Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged
and Disabled and the Senior Gold prescrip-
tion drug discount program. There are also
options in regard to transportation, home-de-
livered meals and adult day care.
The Ofce of Home Care is a case-by-case
program that extends outreach services to se-
niors who prefer to remain social members of
the community rather than live in a long-term
care facility.
As elderly members of the community re-
quire more assistance with everyday activ-
ities, unpaid caregivers often play a large
role. Atlantic County offers support for them,
too, through an education program designed
to help people increase their effectiveness
as caregivers. The various courses include
skilled nursing services and physical, occu-
pational and speech therapy.
The county Department of Intergenerational
Services has a contract with Cape-Atlantic Le-
gal Services allowing for free legal assistance
to low-income elderly and disabled residents.
According to the countys social services
website, Legal Services does not represent
defendants in a criminal case or those look-
ing to le a lawsuit, but will provide assistance
when it comes to domestic situations, land-
lord-tenant issues, wills, food stamp appeals
and consumer fraud.
To schedule an appointment call 609-348-
4200.
The countys elderly care efforts include
mental and physical health services geared
toward senior citizens. The medical day care
program is structured to provide seniors who
are physically or cognitively impaired with su-
pervision in a protective setting during partic-
ular periods of the day.
The county Division of Recreation and So-
cial Activities is a resource for seniors who are
looking to stay actively engaged in the com-
munity. Seniors can use their own transporta-
tion or arrange for the free county senior bus
to transport them to and from the Egg Harbor
Township Community Center, where county
senior programs are held. Rides are also pro-
vided on a rst-come, rst-served basis for
doctor appointments, trips for dialysis or other
medical treatment for those who qualify. Call
609-645-5910 to determine eligibility or 609-
272-8179 to arrange for transportation.
Offerings at this location include hot lunch,
bingo, and classes in art, computer and move-
ment. Special events are regularly scheduled.
The division plans and organizes events
and trips for senior citizens.
Senior groups may contact the division for a
schedule of upcoming events and to suggest
ideas for future activities and outings. Call
609-645-7700, ext. 4353.

services see www.aclink.org.

Beloved bike path connects
Northeld, Linwood and Somers Point
Although the Mainland communities of
Northeld, Linwood and Somers Point have
their distinct qualities, they are connected by a
common thread that weaves through the towns
much like its predecessor, the Shore Fast Line,
connected them in their past.
The bike path extends the full length of the
three towns, from the southern end of Somers
Point to the Northeld city line at Dolphin Av-
enue.
At its Northeld end, the bike path connects
across Dolphin Avenue into Pleasantville. And
with the Route 52 reconstruction project in
Somers Point now completed, bicycle riders
and pedestrians taking the southern end are
now able to make the trip over the bridge to
Ocean City.
The Shore Fast Line was in use until 1954,
bringing passengers and goods to area resi-
dents. The train took high-school-age Linwood
students to school every day, as they attended
Pleasantville High School, until Mainland Re-
gional was opened in 1964. Over time, rider-
ship fell and the train ceased operation, and
the bike path eventually took its place, con-
tinuing to allow people to move freely from one
place to another.
The bike path is part of the New Jersey Rails
to Trails program, which supports the conver-
sion of former railroad tracks to bike trails. The
Linwood portion of the bike path was one of the
programs early success stories in the state.
The next phase of the bike path headed south
from the Linwood border to meander through
Somers Point. The nal phase headed north
from Oakcrest Avenue at the Linwood-North-
eld border to Dolphin Avenue.
Street lights were added the entire length of
the bike path, allowing locals to enjoy a walk
or bike ride to such stops as Maxs Market at
Jackson and Fuae avenues, Our Lady of Sor-
rows Church, the Linwood Market, All Wars
Memorial Park, Linwood Arboretum, Belhaven
Avenue Middle School, Seaview Avenue El-
ementary School, Hartshorn Park in Linwood,
and Dawes Avenue School, Fehrle Field, the
American Legion, Veterans Memorial, and City
Hall in Somers Point.
To increase safety for all who use the bike
path, all three towns have added stop signs at
every cross street along way.
Following the lead of the Mainland area bike
path, Atlantic County made it a priority to cre-
ate a bikeway that allows riders access to all
ends of the county on two wheels. The county
bike path picks up behind the Shore Mall and
The annual Somers Point Bayfest Celebra-
tion billed as the largest single-day festival
in South Jersey takes place annually the last
Saturday of April on historic Bay Avenue.
The city of Somers Point and the Bayfest
Committee pair up with area sponsors to make
this longstanding annual Somers Point tradition
possible, lling 14 blocks along Bay Avenue with
music, food, crafters and fun-lled family activ-
ities. More than 40,000 thousand residents and
visitors have been known to ock to Bay Avenue
every year to enjoy four live musical bands, 60
food vendors and more than 120 crafters as well
as numerous childrens activities.
Bayfest started 26 years ago as an Earth
Day celebration and maintains that tradition by
hosting an array of environmental and nonprot
groups to inform the public about issues con-
cerning conservation and natural resources.
Prots from the festival have funded various
projects that enhance recreational opportuni-
ties for the children of Somers Point. Past proj-
ects that the Bayfest Committee has supported
include upgrades to city recreational facilities,
improvements to the Bud Kern Field, the in-
stallation of new playground equipment on the
public beach, and contributions to Mainland
Regional High School.

Somers Point has more than 300
years of rich history and is now the
home to three historical museums
and several societies that insure its
history is well preserved.
Situated as the southern-most of
Atlantic Countys Mainland commu-
nities, Somers Point is the home of
the Atlantic County Historical Society
Museum, the Somers Mansion and
the Somers Point Historical Museum.
Organizations involved in preserving
history here include the State of New
Jersey, which operates the Somers
Mansion, the Atlantic County Histor-
ical Society, which owns and oper-
ates the Atlantic County Historical
Museum, the Somers Point Historical
Society, which operates its own mu-
seum and the Somers Point Historic
Preservation Commission, which is
an advisory board to the city govern-
ment.
Atlantic County Historical
Museum
Located at 907 Shore Road, the
Atlantic County Historical Museum
includes a vast collection of docu-
ments that can be used to create
family genealogies. Anyone inves-
tigating their heritage can visit the
museum and get assistance from
knowledgeable volunteers.
Records include birth, death, mar-
riage and war records. Theres more
information available inside the mu-
seums library than is found on the
Internet, one volunteer said.
An ongoing project of the Atlantic
County Historical Society is the veter-
ans project, which records oral his-
tories from those who have served in
wars and conicts. Oral histories are
recorded and kept in the museum
and sent to Washington, D.C.
Each year in November, partic-
ipating veterans have a meet and
greet where they share their stories
with other veterans.
Anyone interested in sharing ge-
nealogy, or viewing artifacts in the
societys two-level museum, which
includes extensive maritime artifacts
on the second oor, can call the mu-
seum at 609-927-5218. The museum
and library are open from 10 a.m. to
3:30 p.m., Wednesday through Sat-
urday.

yhistoricalsocietynj.org.
Somers Point Historical Museum
The Somers Point Historical Mu-
seum, located at 745 Shore Road,
was established by the Somers Point
Historical Society in 1987 to preserve
the citys older buildings and history.
Society members were instru-
mental in saving the old City Hall
from being torn down, and it now
serves as the Atlantic County Li-
brary System/Somers Point branch.
It was also instrumental in getting
the Bay Front Historic District listed
on the National Register of Historic
Places.
The Somers Point Historical Muse-
um opened in May 2004 in a former
Baptist Church, which was original-
ly built in 1886 and has been totally
renovated to use as a museum. The
museum is staffed by volunteers and
membership is growing.
For information about the museum
or joining the society, call 609-927-
2900. Learn more at www.somer-
spointhistory.org.
Somers Mansion
The Somers Mansion, a three-sto-
ry brick home located at 1000 Shore
Road, is said to be one of the rst
homes built in Atlantic County. It was
the home of seafarer Captain Rich-
ard Somers, the son of John Somers,
and was built as the Somerset Plan-
tation between 1710 and 1715.
John Somers purchased 3,000
acres of land in 1695, which today
includes Linwood, Ocean City and
Somers Point. Richard Somers lived
there with his family.
His son, Richard Somers II, was a
colonel in a militia during the Revo-
lutionary War, but the most famous
Somers of all is Richard Somers III
who died ghting Barbary Coast pi-
rates in Tripoli.
The Somers Point Historical Soci-
ety commissioned and dedicated a
bronze bust of Richard Somers III in
October 2013, which now stands in
a courtyard next to the library.
The home was deeded to the
Atlantic County Historical Society in
1937, and became a state historical
site in 1942. Historian and curator
John Morse conducts tours of the
building from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ev-
ery weekend.

mation.

Old Days Festival
Somers Point Concert Series
brings music to the beach
The Somers Point Beach Concert Series takes place
Friday evenings from mid-June to early September
at the William H. Morrow Municipal Beach on Bay
Avenue between Higbee and New Jersey avenues
in Somers Point. The concerts are presented by the
Somers Point Recreation Department.
The free weekly event invites residents and visitors
to bring their beach chairs and coolers and enjoy
a diverse selection of live music. Each Friday night
brings a new sound to the beach, from international
recording artists to regional talent performing a variety
of genres: country, classic and jam rock, blues, soul,
jazz, swing and R&B.
The stage is set close to the water line, and peo-
ple come by foot, boat, bicycle and car to spend the
evening with friends, watch the sun set and enjoy the
music in a casual atmosphere. The lineup had not
been posted at press time but can be found at www.
somerspointbeachconcerts.com.

the Lawrence Bud Kern Schol-
arship Foundation. Established in
1979 in honor of former Recreation

Kern, the fund recognizes grad-
uating high school students from
Somers Point who have demon-
strated community spirit and pride
through their involvement in civic
and scholastic activities while dis-
playing a singular dedication to a
purpose.
Scholarships range from $1,000
to $3,000. Lawrence Bud Kern
was instrumental in the develop-
ment of recreation facilities and
programs in Somers Point and ex-
pended countless volunteer hours in
service to his community. It was his
idea to hold an end-of-summer com-
munity picnic, which gave rise to the
Good Old Days Festival.
The festival is preceded by the
annual Run for Bud at 9 a.m. at
Kennedy Park with registration be-
ginning at 7:30 a.m.

Atlantic Countys Mainland area,
the cities of Linwood, Northeld
and Somers Point, hold some of
the countys oldest structures and
historical landmarks.
Among them is the Somers Man-
sion, built by Richard Somers, son
of Somers Point namesake John
Somers; and the bike path, where a
regional trolley service, Shore Fast
Line, used to run from Atlantic City to
Ocean City.
Northelds earliest inhabitants
were members of the Leni Lenape
tribe who cultivated crops, hunted
and shed, migrating seasonally
between New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania.
Early European settlers were
shermen, clammers and oyster-
men. That water played an important
part in the areas development is ev-
idenced by the former sea captains
homes that still dot Shore Road, and
feature a distinctive widows walk
where the captains wife would keep
a watch for their husbands safe
return.
Northeld is home to the Risley
Homestead on Virginia Avenue. The
former home of Virginia Risley Stout
was built around 1790, and is listed
on the National Register of Historic
Places.
It started as a simple two-room
farmhouse built by her ancestor
Jeremiah Risley II or Edward Risley,
and additions were made in the
1930s and 1940s.
Stout, who died in 1989, was the
last of the original Risley family to
live in the house. She bequeathed
her home to the Atlantic County
Historical Society, along with all her
belongings.
It was a baymans house and it
is very well maintained and left as
Mrs. Stout would have left her home
if she were going out, said Sheryl
Collins of Egg Harbor Township
and the Atlantic County Historical
Society. Her clothes are hanging in
the closet and her belongings in the
bureau. Her kitchen is just as she left
it; as though she is coming back.
Many visitors visit the home annu-
ally, often making a day of it with the
Somers Mansion and the Atlantic
County Historical Society.
Risley Homestead tour hours are
on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday from May
through October. Admission is free.
Tours are given by Vernon Brown, a
neighbor and friend of Stout.
For information call the Atlantic
Heritage Center at 609-927-5218.
The Northeld Cultural Committee
is responsible for the Northeld His-
torical Museum and Casto House,
both in Birch Grove Park.
Birch Grove Park is located on
the site of the former Somers Brick
Yard, an important early industry
in Northeld, and is accessed off
Burton Avenue.
The parks lakes were formed
where they used to dig for clay
to make the bricks. Those bricks
became the faade for some of the
original hotels in Atlantic City.
The museum, which is the old city
library, was relocated to Birch Grove
Park in 1985 and the Casto House
was relocated next to the museum
in 1996.
Built between 1750 and 1820,
the Casto House was occupied by
members of the Casto family. The
museum was built originally as an
ofce around 1915 and since that
time has been moved and renovated
for many different purposes, includ-
ing an administration building and
the local library.
Museum hours are 1-3 p.m.
Sunday and Wednesday and by
appointment. Call 609-383-1505.
The Cultural Committee meets
monthly at the Casto House. Call
609-641-4607 for times and dates.
The committee is seeking new
members who have a love of local
history and are willing to work hard
to help preserve that rich history.
The Northeld Historical Society
supports the Casto House and the
Northeld Museum through dona-
tions, fees at the biannual antiques
appraisal program and other pro-
grams of local interest. The society
meets 7 p.m. the second Thursday
of the month at the museum, al-
though dates are subject to change.
Carol Patrick is the chairwoman of
the Northeld Cultural Committee.
Roy Clark is the curator of the North-
eld Museum.
Annual membership fees are $10
per person. Lifetime memberships
are available for $100 per person
or $150 per couple. All members
receive quarterly newsletters.

It wasnt too long ago that shing
season seemed like it would never
arrive. Water temperatures were
slow to rise this spring preventing
the sh to migrate to our area.
The bite is just turning on now that
warmer weather is beginning to
settle in.
On the mainland, anglers have
the best of both worlds easy ac-
cess to fresh and saltwater shing.
Well-stocked lakes and ponds pro-
vide plenty of action for freshwater
shing, and the start of ounder
season has anglers casting their
lines in the back bays.
Below are shing locations
throughout the Northeld, Somers
Point and Linwood. Some are more
family-friendly than others, but all
are providing much action this
spring.
Somers Point-Ocean
City Bridge
The $400 million Route 52
causeway project is benetting
anglers with a beautiful facility. A
pull-off with parking for 53 cars
and the extensive concrete pier
provides day and night shing with
a lighted walkway. Anglers can
catch ounder, weaksh, tautog,
mackerel, bluesh and crabs off
the Rainbow Island area. There
has been a lot of shing activity
from the pier since its completion
last year.
Seaview Dock
Located at the easternmost end
of Seaview Avenue in Linwood is a
shing dock and a boat launch.
While its a great location for
crabbing and shing, the dock
has no railings to provide safety
for children, so if small children are
participating, have them wear a
lifejacket. There are no restrooms
onsite and no shade. There are a
couple of benches on the dock.
Fishing during high tide is rec-
ommended since there isnt much
water left at the lowest of tides.
Flounder, croaker, spot, mackerel,
tautog, weaksh, bluesh, black
sea bass, scup and herring have
been caught from the pier.
A seasonal fee is charged for
boat launching.
Bay Park Municipal Pier
Bay Park Municipal Pier is on
New Jersey and Bay avenues in
Somers Point. It features a shing
pier that is ideal for families. The
pier provides a safe environment
with railings, and a restroom facility
is within eyesight. There is public
parking in the general area, a
guarded beach, playground and
picnic area.
Birch Grove Park
Birch Grove Park, at 1700 Burton
Ave. in Northeld, is a great place
to take the family shing. There
are 21 lakes and ponds on the
property. The waters are stocked
ve times a year with trout. Other
freshwater sh caught at Birch
Grove Park are pickerel, sunsh,
catsh and bass. All shing is done
from the waters edge, small piers
and bridges. No boats, kayaks or
canoes are permitted. There are
restrooms, a snack stand and bait
shop, shower facilities, a play-
ground and picnic areas. Camp-
ing sites are available from April
through October.
Beesleys Point Bridge
The shing from Beesleys Point
Bridge has been suspended
during the three-year reconstruc-
tion phase. When complete, a
10-foot wide multi-use pathway
along the main bridge can be used
by pedestrians and bicyclists. New
approach roadways to the bridge
will also be built.
Pilings from the Beesleys Point
Bridge will be saved and used to
build a walkway for anglers that sh
the area around Drag Island.
After construction of the new
southbound Garden State Parkway
bridge is complete, the saved
pilings will be used to build a walk-
way from the Somers Point side
of the Great Egg Harbor Bay to
Drag Island. A short pier from Drag
Island into the Great Egg Harbor
Bay could also be included.
Fishing groups from across the
state were concerned about the
loss of the Beesleys Point Bridge
because it would close access to
Drag Island from land. The shallow
waters there have been a popular
shing spot.
In a presentation on the project
last year, the New Jersey Turnpike
Authority said the Beesleys Point
Bridge would be totally removed
and parts of Drag Island and
wetlands on the Somers Point side
would be reforested with cedar
trees. The area was to be consid-
ered a wetlands mitigation area so
public access would be restricted
initially.
J. Edward Klingener
Fishing Pier
The pier underneath the
Assemblywoman Dolores Cooper
Bridge on Somers Point-Longport
Boulevard between Somers Point
and Longport has been closed to
the public indenitely since a re
years ago, but many anglers catch
a variety of sh from the Great Egg
Inlet via the surrounding sod banks.
The location has plenty of parking.
Bargaintown Pond
Bargaintown Pond consists of
18 acres and can be accessed
via Central Avenue in Linwood.
There is a small beach where cars
can pull off and anglers can cast a
line. Shore shing around the lake
can result in a variety of catches
including catsh, musky, carp,
sunsh, walleye, trout, striped bass,
pickerel and yellow perch.
John F. Kennedy Park
Located on Broadway in Somers
Point, the park overlooks the bay
and is perfect for soaking in the
view. Although shing is not al-
lowed from the bulkheads or dock,
there is a boat launching ramp that
can be used for a fee.
Ocean City-Longport
Bridge Fishing Pier
This extensive concrete shing
pier is located off the Ocean Drive
Bridge between Somers Point
and Longport. There is plenty
of parking, a couple of portable
toilets, a gazebo providing shade,
and benches. There are a few
llet tables and sinks, but there is
no running water. The Great Egg
Harbor Bay has produced bluesh,
mackerel, mullet, ounder, skate
and small sharks. There are also
plenty of crabs caught here.
Fishing licenses and
permits
All fresh water anglers ages 16
and up are required to carry a sh-
ing license. The fee for a resident
license is $22.50 for ages 16-64,
$12.50 for ages 65-69 and free for
ages 70 and older.
The cost for a resident trout
stamp for ages 16-29 is $10.50. A
nonresident shing license for ages
16 and older is $34, a nonresident
trout stamp is $20, a nonresident
two-day vacation shing permit is
$9, and a nonresident seven-day
vacation shing license is $19.50.
A license and shing-related
permits are valid from the date of
purchase to Dec. 31 of each year.
Boat ramp permits are $15.
A license can be purchased online
at www.NJ.WildlifeLicense.com,
or call 888-773-8450 or see any
participating sporting goods or bait
and tackle shop.

Linwood
Mainland boasts great gol ng and dining in each town
Linwood Country Club
Linwood Country Club is a pri-
vate golf club with memberships
available. Built in 1921 and de-
signed by the Traymore Hotel
builder Herbert Bertram Strong,
the club boasts some amazing
views of the meadows and the At-
lantic City skyline.
At 6,260 yards, the par-70
course could fool a newcomer into
thinking its an easy round, but it
presents challenges even to sea-
soned golfers. The wind is de-
nitely a factor on the holes along
the water.
The course offers a driving
range, practice tees, and ten-
nis courts. Many visitors to the
Linwood Country Club are there
for local tournaments and chari-
ty events, but it is also a popular
destination for diners, weddings
and fun community events like the
Hi Neighbor Hop. Plans are in the
works for a swimming facility in
partnership with the Margate Jew-
ish Community Center.
Jeff LeFevre is the golf profes-
sional at the club, and Robert Mc-
Nellis is the club manager.
Linwood Country Club is locat-
ed at 500 Shore Road in Linwood.
Call (609) 927-6134 or see www.
linwoodcountryclub.com.
Atlantic City Country Club
One of the more historic coun-
try clubs in the region, the Atlantic
City Country Club is actually lo-
cated in Northeld. Legend has it
that the terms birdie and eagle
were coined there when friends
came up with names for their
great shots and the ability to nd
the hole under par for the course.
The course opened in 1897 and
has hosted major tournaments in
its storied history. Babe Didrikson
Zaharias won the rst of her three
USGA Womens Championships
at the Atlantic City Country Club
in 1948. Don January won the rst
PGA seniors tour event there in
1980.
The Atlantic City Country Club
was owned by the Fraser family
for decades before being sold
to Harrahs Entertainment. On
April 15, 2014 it was announced
the club had been sold to the
Ottinger Family Group, owners
of Ballamor and Scotland Run
golf courses. Atlantic City is now
a public course and all golfers
have a chance to play the man-
icured, 18-hole, 6,539-yard, par-
70 course. Golf Week Magazine
voted Atlantic City Country Club
the number one course in the
state of New Jersey and number
34 nationally.
Charles Fahy is the PGA
course professional and general
manager. Fran Mulholland is the
professional.
Nearly as famous as the course
itself is the Tap Room and dining
room at the Atlantic City Country
Club. The Tap Room is a step
back in time with wonderful old
photos of some of the memorable
golfers who have passed across
the course, and recently restored
wood oors and walls that are rich
in history. The club also offers a
popular weekly Sunday brunch
year round. Edward Daggers is
the executive chef.
The Atlantic City Country Club
is located at 1 Leo Fraser Drive in
Northeld. Call (609) 236-4401 or

Greate Bay Country Club
Call the Greate Bay Country
Club and they let you know, it is
a Greate Day in Somers Point,
where the golf course has domi-
nated the south end of town since
1923.
At that time it was known as
the Ocean City Golf Club. Briey
the course was called The Sands
Country Club when the former At-
lantic City casino took ownership,
before the present name was
chosen because it overlooks the
Greate Egg Harbor Bay.
Tucked into the gentle hills
on either side of New Road and
bounded by Somers Point-Mays
Landing Road, the course is
6,705 yards from the back tees
and plays a tough par 70. The
front tees are challenging yet
friendly to the many women who
call Greate Bay their club.
There are golf lessons avail-
able for men, women and juniors.
Whether your short game or your
swing has a hitch that needs
help, the staff at Greate Bay will
accommodate every golfer.
Ken Thompson is the golf
course superintendent and Jay
Gross is the PGA professional.
Chef Jack Whelan is the exec-
utive chef. The dining room and
banquet facilities are public, but
the club is private and member-
ships are available. Catering and
banquets are managed by Tam-
my Seuff and Nicole Sickler.
A popular event and wedding
venue, Greate Bay Country Club
was named to New Jersey Brides
love it list for 2013.
Greate Bay Country Club is af-
liated with the Greate Bay Rac-
quet Club across Mays Landing
Road.
Greate Bay Country Club is lo-
cated at 901 Mays Landing Road.

Many spots to enjoy sports, nature and recreation
John F. Kennedy Park,
Somers Point
Located just off MacArthur Bou-
levard, Kennedy Park is one of
Somers Points most unique places.
The park is home to what are be-
lieved to be the only coastal bluffs
in the state. Because of its uncom-
mon topography, it was called High
Bluffs Park until the mid-1960s. The
bluff is 12 feet high and runs along
the Great Egg Harbor Bay, offering
a view across the bay to Ocean
City.
JFK Park is one of the few loca-
tions large enough to accommo-
date city events. It is used for the
Good Old Days Festival, the citys
annual summer season send-off,
this year scheduled for Saturday,
Sept. 6.
Kennedy Park suffered damage
during Hurricane Sandy but is back
in its pre-Sandy shape. Picnic facili-
ties can be rented for a fee.
William J. Morrow
Memorial Beach,
Somers Point
One of the areas few bay beach-
es, the William J. Morrow Memorial
Beach is named after the former
police chief who started the Boys
and Girls Club in Somers Point. Lo-
cated at Higbee and Bay avenues,
it is protected by lifeguards in the
summer and is the venue for the
Friday evening summer concerts.
The beach can be rented for private
events.
All Wars Memorial
Park, Linwood
All Wars Memorial Park is central-
ly located on Shore Road and Wa-
bash Avenue. In addition to various
athletic elds, on the Shore Road
side it features a memorial honoring
all branches of the military that sits
under an American ag that ies 24
hours a day.
On any given spring or summer
evening, a baseball game is sure to
be in midswing at the park.
The Mainland United Soccer
program plays there along with Lin-
wood Panthers football each fall,
offering taxi, peewee, junior varsity
and varsity competition. The park
also has a dedicated year-round
street hockey court.
A Memorial Day ceremony takes
place in the shadow of the ag each
year with speeches, patriotic music
and the naming of the citizen of the
year. In July and August neighbors
enjoy the summer concert series. In
October there is an annual Hallow-
een parade.
Birch Grove Park,
Northfield
With more than 270 acres and 21
lakes, Birch Grove Park is a beau-
tiful, quiet and natural spot neatly
tucked away off Burton Avenue, a
stones throw from the busy Tilton
Road business district.
Fishing is permitted in the
stocked lakes; a license is required
for anyone 16 or older. Licenses
must be purchased at a sporting
goods store. They are not available
at the park.
Attractions include walking
trails, a picnic area with grills, a
playground, campsites to rent and
handicap access to the lakes.
There is a bocce court, a band-
stand for concerts and weddings,
and baseball, softball, soccer and
football elds. The park is home to
the Northeld Cardinals. There are a
snack bar, rest rooms and meeting
space for clubs at the Birch Grove
Center. The Northeld Historical
Museum and Casto House are also
in the park.
The park had humble beginnings
as the Somers Brick Yard. After the
close of the factory, the city bought
the property, and the park was ded-
icated in 1951 as Northeld City
Park. In 1952 a school contest pro-
duced the winning name of Birch
Grove Park.
Northfield
Veterans Park
Northeld Veterans Park is on
Oak Avenue property that former-
ly contained a greenhouse. It is
a work in progress, funded com-
pletely by donations after an initial
purchase using open space fund-
ing. The park honors all branches
of the military. Donations are still
being accepted to complete the
next phase of the park that will in-
clude a walking trail.
Linwood Arboretum
On the bike path in Linwood at
Wabash and Belhaven avenues,
the Linwood Arboretum is a re-
spite for nature lovers of all ages.
A former electrical substation,
the arboretum was created with
open space funding that helped
transformed a small triangle of
asphalt, wiring and fencing into a
public garden.
Flowering plants, bushes and
trees are meticulously cared for
and propagated. The Friends of
the Linwood Arboretum provide
learning opportunities and peri-
odic lectures. Volunteer oppor-
tunities exist for everyone from
weekend warriors to serious gar-
deners.
