The Lenni-Lenape Indians

had the right idea when they
established a summer encampment along Absecon Creek.
Absecons name is derived
from the Indian word Absegami, meaning little water. Later
in 1614, the Dutch captain Cornelius Jacobsen Mey would sail
into Absecon Creek as part of
his exploration of the New Jersey coast.
In 1832, the Indians gave up
their claim to the land in favor of
the state of New Jersey, but Absecons connection to the little
water remained with shipbuilding and fishing prospering along
Absecon Creek.
Today, fishermen still throng
Absecon Creek, lining up at the
town boat ramp on a summer
weekend. Townspeople enjoy
viewing the areas wildlife, including bald eagles, hawks,
great blue herons and ospreys.
Surrounding Absecon Creek
today is a vibrant community of
some 8,400 residents. Although
the city straddles the White

Horse Pike, a major conduit connecting Atlantic City with Philadelphia and New York, Absecon
maintains its hometown flavor.
People still know and care about
one another.
That feeling is reflected in
the numerous volunteer groups
serving the community. Absecon has an excellent park system
where people gather to watch
youth sports and to enjoy summer concerts. New Jersey Avenue maintains the promise of a
cluster of village shops.
Absecon residents take pride
in their superb school system
staffed by master teachers with
strong community ties. A nearby New Jersey Transit rail station affords the convenience of
efficient access to Atlantic City,
Philadelphia and points between.
Despite all that has changed
since the Lenni-Lenape left the
area, Absecon remains a place by
the little water where traditions
remain and mans connection with
nature is still appreciated.

A brief history of Galloway Township
By ROBERT REID
Galloway Historian
The history of the Galloway

area dates back 8,000 years
with the first settlement of the
Lenni Lenape people. Before
European settlers arrived, these
inhabitants lived off natural resources such as the wildlife of
the woodlands, streams, rivers,
bays and ocean. They cultivated
corn and tomatoes, foods that
were unheard of in Europe. With
the coming of the European settlers, the Lenni Lenape peoples
culture was doomed.
Galloway was explored in the
16th century by Dutch, French,
Swedish, Finnish and Portuguese sea captains. The first
survey was made by Henry Hudson in 1609. Cornelius Jacobsun
Mey sailed into Little Egg Harbor
in 1614 and later charted the
coastline.
In 1664, Charles II of England
granted his brother, James,
Duke of York, the land between
the Hudson and Delaware Rivers. James presented the land to
two of his favorites: John, Lord
Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. He named the new land Nova
Caesarea. Today the boundaries
of Nova Caesarea (New Jersey)
are exactly as set about in the
original Duke of Yorks deed.
Galloway has an interesting
historic past dating back before
1716 when Kings Highway was
constructed along an Indian trail
now known as Old New York
Road. Before 1774, the place
now called Galloway consisted
of numerous small villages and
hamlets in Gloucester County,
inland of Absecum Beach in the
Province of West New Jersey.
Galloway
Township
was
formed by a royal charter in
Gloucester County from Egg
Harbor Township in April 1774;
the township was much larger
than it is today. Galloway Township once included Absecon,
Brigantine, part of Atlantic City,
Port Republic, Mullica, Hammonton, Egg Harbor City, and a portion of Burlington County.
On April 4, 1774 King George
III of England granted a royal
patent for the creation of the
Township of Galloway. The
Page 8
state of New Jersey Public Record Office in 1929 stated that

they could not tell positively for
whom the Township of Galloway
was named, but suspect it was
named after Joseph Galloway.
Joseph Galloway was a lawyer and leading political figure
in Pennsylvania for a generation
before the American Revolution.
He was ideological and a strict
constitutionalist. For many years
Galloway was Benjamin Franklins chief ally. They grew further
and further apart as Franklin was
pushed by events into a more
radical stance.
Both labored mightily for a
generation to reconcile the colonies with the mother country.
Since Franklin worked mostly in
London, Galloways forum was
in America, principally the Pennsylvania Assembly, where he
was speaker of the House for a
decade, and ultimately the Continental Congress.
In 1774, Galloways Plan
of Union lost in the Congress
by only one vote a loss that
changed the course of history,
since Galloway tried to avoid
revolution by anticipating the
British commonwealth system.
In 1775, when the Assembly ignored Galloways recommendation that it abandon its defiance
of Britain, Galloway quit the Assembly and the Congress.
Galloway remained steadfast
in his belief that the most proper
plan for cementing the two countries together would have been
constitutional, granting America
the same rights and privileges
as are enjoyed by the subjects
in Britain.
As a result of Galloway remaining loyal to Britain, he lost
position and all his land holdings
in America. He returned to Britain penniless.
Prior to the Revolution, many
seamen engaged in smuggling
or illegal entry into port to avoid
payment of duty. They justified
this practice by claiming that
the British Maritime Commission
discriminated against them, and
duties were imposed without
their consent. Many smugglers
operating on the Mullica River
became privateers.
Several naval threats by the
It is believed that the Township

of Galloway was named after
Joseph Galloway, a lawyer and
leading political figure in Pennsylvania for a generation before
the American Revolution.
British at the village of Chestnut

Neck caused Fort Fox Burrows
to be built in June 1777. Chestnut Neck along the Mullica River
was a thriving port carrying on
a brisk trade during the Revolution; its boats going into Great
Bay would seize British supply
vessels and send the captured
supplies to the American Army.
In September 1778, a British
force of nine vessels and 400
men was dispatched to destroy
the nest of privateers in Chestnut Neck. Count Pulaski and
his Continentals were sent by
General Washington to protect
the port. They did not arrive in
time. On Oct. 6, 1778 the British
captured Fort Fox Burrows, destroyed all of the vessels in the
harbor, and pillaged and burned
the town.
On Oct. 14 the British and
the Continentals clashed at Osborns Island on the Mullica.
Outnumbered, the Continentals
were butchered. The Battle of
Chestnut Neck, apart from the
massacre at Osborns Island,
was actually not a great victory
for the British. The privateers
or rebel pirates as the British
called them, continued to harass
British shipping until the end of
the Revolution.
Most Galloway roads in the
early part of last century were
unpaved. Planned-unit developments didnt exist. A majority of

the development was clustered
in small villages and hamlets
such as Smithville, Leeds Point,
Oceanville, Higbeeville, Cologne, Pomona, Absecon, Germania, Port Republic, Chestnut
Neck and many others.
About 1821 the road to Camdens ferries on the Delaware
River was built through Galloway starting in the village of Absecon. This road is now known
as Church Street and New Jersey Avenue in Absecon and the
White Horse Pike in Galloway.
In 1854 with the effort of Dr.
Jonathan Pitney, a railroad was
constructed from Camden to the
village of Absecon through Galloway. With the coming of the
railroad and the growth of Atlantic City, Galloway was increasing
in population. Galloways growth
is synonymous with Atlantic City.
Pitney, of the village of Absecon in Galloway Township in the
nineteenth century, had a vision
for a health resort on Absecon
Island. His vision became Atlantic City.
Absecon Creek and the Mullica River were the major transportation routes. Wharves lined
the creek and river, and boats
both large and small were built
along the banks. Shipbuilding
began at the mouths of rivers
and bays. It was concentrated
on the broad large rivers with
deep channels and unobstructed
access to open water.
This was the era of the wooden ship. Early shipbuilding was
crude planking sawn by hand,
then shaped and fitted with
broadax and plane. The work
was slow and arduous. American ships were noted for their
cost; they were inexpensive to
build. New Jerseys shore communities had all the prerequisites for successful shipbuilding:
Coastal commerce was close at
hand; varied forest lands provided good timber; a ready supply
of skilled labor was available;
and local furnaces forged nails,
fittings and implements. Whale
boats were being built by the
early 18th century. Then fishing
boats were produced. South JerContinued on Page 20
For disabled players, Absecon hosts a Field of Dreams

South Jersey Field of Dreams is
a recreational facility and league
for physically and mentally challenged children and adults from
southern New Jersey that relies on
the generosity of the community
and the talent of volunteers.
Even though it was estimated
that the complex would take ve
years to develop, it happened in
one year. Originally it was thought
it that it would take years to develop a league, but the league ourished from day one and has expanded each year since Play ball
was rst called out.
Yearly expansion has become
the norm and the focus of the
board of trustees.
Some 285 players from 33 communities in six South Jersey counties participate in the program, and
participation is free.
Field of Dreams has advanced
from initiation and capital campaigns to operations, improvements and expansions of amenities for the distinct privilege of
improving opportunities and quality of life to the players, the families,
and the communities.
The board of trustees stands

ready to help other groups in any
way possible. Always remember,
Build it and they will come. And
they have.

Galloway educates
the community
on going green
By SUZANNE MARINO
Staff Writer
Galloway is dedicated to educating residents, including local
schoolchildren, about what they
can do to reduce their carbon
footprint.
Barbara Fiedler, chairwoman
of the Task Force for a Sustainable Galloway, Go Green
Galloway, speaks to civic
groups about what they can do
to increase recycling, and each
month Roe Goldberg addresses
a green initiative at the schools,
whether it is recycling, composting or a number of other topics.
The message that everyone
needs to work toward creating
a sustainable community is not
only working-its spreading. Six
residents working with Go Green
Galloway and Sustainable Jersey earned a mini-grant that
helped residents transform their
properties, creating sustainable
landscapes in 2014.
An upcoming event planned by
Go Green Galloway along with
the Absecon Green Team, the
Port Republic Green Team, the
Pleasantville Green Team and the
Absegami Earth Shepherd Group
is the Greenfest 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Saturday, May 17. The event will
include go green workshops, Fair
Trade market, green vendors, go
green kids activities, a hybrid and
electric car show and more. The
Greenfest will be held at the Galloway Municipal Complex, 300 E.
Jimmie Leeds Road.
The Clean Communities Program spearheads several cleanups throughout the year. The
last few years, volunteers have
zeroed in on the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge
and cleaned up the eight miles
of Wildlife Drive, according to
Fiedler.
The green team compiles tips
for homeowners to use as guidelines for going green and con-
serving. Twenty tips are posted

at
www.gallowaytwp-nj.gov;
scroll down and click on the Go
Green Galloway logo.
Fiedler said there are many
ways for residents to become
involved with the green team.
The township is working toward
having its sustainable certification renewed, and volunteers are
needed to help with many tasks.
To get involved, call Fielder at
(609) 652-3700, ext 209.
The GTV public access channel, broadcast on Channel 97,
offers residents a live feed of
Township Council meetings
6:30 p.m. the second and fourth
Tuesday of the month, along
with Planning Board and Zoning
Board meetings.
The community calendar also
runs on GTV, with updates about
local events. The community
calendar can also be viewed at
www.gallowaytwp-nj.gov.
The Community Education
Committee is in charge of keeping Patriot Lake; the spot many
would say is Galloways best
kept secret and the surrounding
area looking beautiful. Residents
are invited to tend one of the 11
gardens in the park; whether that
is to maintain an existing garden
or to create and maintain a new
garden. Fiedler said individuals
and groups may sponsor a garden, and there are some areas
left that still need a sponsor to
provide a little TLC.
Fiedler said the township also
offers residents the chance to
plant and harvest one of its 4- by
6-foot garden plots. For a $20
fee, the gardener can plant and
care for a plot for the season,
she said, and if they plan to return to the same plot the following season they are welcome to
plant crops like carrots and garlic that winter over quite well.
There are a limited number of
4- by 8-foot handicap accessible
beds available for $10.

Absecon 9-11 Memorial Founders Committee
The 9-11 Memorial Founders

Committee was established to advise Absecon City Council about the
location and design for the 9-11 Memorial which is to showcase the 16foot steel beam from the 39th oor of
the South Tower of the World Trade
Center.
The beam was awarded to Absecon after months and months of negotiations and it is the largest piece of
steel from the World Trade Center in
all of Southern New Jersey.
The 9-11 Committee is a non-prot
corporation which has been declared
by the IRS as a full tax-exempt 501
(c) (3), meaning that all donations
made to build the Memorial are tax
deductible.
The 9-11 Committee investigated
16 possible sites in Absecon and
presented their ndings to City Council. City Council narrowed the list
and after further discussion, the site
was chosen and approved by City
Council. The 9-11 Memorial will be
located in Heritage Park next to the
Revolutional Bicentennial Memorial
granite stone donated to Absecon by
the Kiwanis in 1976.
The site is along Mill Road.

The design includes a memorial to
all the sites which are a part of the
terror of Sept. 11: World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon and the
Shenksville eld in Pennsylvania.
The Memorial will honor and be a
permanent memory of all those who
lost their lives on that day of horror.
It will enable South Jersey children to
learn about and to never forget those
brave men and women who gave
their all in saving other lives.
Everyone can be a part of this Memorial.
Fundraisers to support the building of the 9-11 Memorial will begin in
2015 and will be announced in The
Current.
The South Jersey Building Trades
has already committed their support.
The ofcers and trustees are: Jim
Smith, president; Don Patterson,
vice-president, Lynn Caterson, secretary and Lorraine Hurd, treasurer.
The trustees are Terry Iaconelli,
Sandy Smith and Butch Stewart.

4 area high schools offer opportunities for student athletes

By BILL LeCONEY
Staff Writer
The three schools that make up
the Greater Egg Harbor Regional
High School district Absegami, Cedar Creek and Oakcrest
along with Holy Spirit High School
in Absecon, offer plenty of opportunities for student athletes as
well as sports fans throughout the
school year.
Cedar Creek High School in Egg
Harbor City opened its doors to
freshmen and sophomores in 2010,
and the young school has quickly become an athletic force in the region.
The Cedar Creek girls basketball
team, coached by Fran Raph, has
won two South Jersey championships and one state title in only ve
years of varsity play. The Cedar
Creek football team earned a trip
to the South Jersey Group II title
game in the fall of 2012, and won the
Cape-Atlantic League National Conference title in 2014.
Wrestler Andrew Solomon be-
came the rst Cedar Creek wrestler

to win a District 32 title in 2014.
Several athletes have gone on
from Cedar Creek to play at the college level, including basketball star
Kristine Miller (Division I Faireld University), quarterback Damon Mitchell (University of Arkansas), sisters
Mikila and Morgan Stefanski (Goldey-Beacom College), and Casey
Thomas (Holy Family).
Nearby rival Oakcrest in Mays
Landing also has plenty to offer prospective athletes. The Falcons track
team won the Group III outdoor state
title in 2012.
Former Oakcrest football star
Brandon Bell is now playing at Penn
State. In 2013, Oakcrest freshman
Kendall Elliott passed for more yardage than any freshman in South Jersey history.
Absegami High School in Galloway, founded in 1972, has a storied
wrestling tradition. The Braves dominated competition during a span
last decade, winning six consecutive
championships on the mat between
1999 and 2004. The girls basketball

team won back-to-back state titles in
2005 and 2006.
Its impossible to ignore Absegamis performance on the football
eld. Coach Dennis Scuderi Jr. leads
a competitive Braves squad that consistently competes in the CAL. Several former Absegami football players
have moved on to the college ranks,
including David Hood (Temple), Abdullah Anderson (Bucknell) and Roman Rudisill (Middlebury), a national
Scholar-Athlete Award recipient.
Holy Spirits all-around athletic
tradition is arguably unrivaled in the
region. One of the Diocese of Camdens 10 high schools, it perennially
ranks among South Jerseys parochial powers in multiple sports.
The Spartans football team won
three straight non-public state championships from 2010-2012, and has
made four consecutive appearances
in the Non-Public II nals.
The schools rowing program is
among the most accomplished in the
nation, and its success has extended
beyond the United States.

Holy Spirits boys team owns three
victories in the Princess Elizabeth
Cup Challenge at the Henley Regatta on the River Thames of England.
The girls rowing team won back-toback Peabody Cups at the 2003 and
2004 Henley Womens Regatta.
The Spartans boys basketball
team is routinely a CAL contender.
The Holy Spirit girls basketball team
won the CAL championship in 2012.
Holy Spirit wrestler Pat DArcy
capped his outstanding career by
winning the 126-pound state championship in 2015.
All four schools offer interscholastic competition in many other sports,
including baseball and softball, soccer, eld hockey, tennis, swimming
and lacrosse.
Regardless of what team you root
for, Cedar Creek, Oakcrest, Absegami and Holy Spirit each offer a different athletic experience, but have the
same goal: chasing down a championship while having fun along the
way.

sey shipyards were plentiful and
busy.
A good portion of Atlantic
County residents depended
upon shipbuilding for their livelihood. By the first half of the 19th
century, there were shipyards in
Absecon, and Port Republic in
Galloway. Absecon Creek was
a major center, with its small
stream and deep channel. More
than 23 ships were built at Absecon Creek and registered at
Great Egg Harbor between 1858
and 1879.
In 1854 German immigrants
from
Philadelphia
traveling
through Galloway to Atlantic City
via the new railroad marveled at
the vast open space of Galloway. They later invested in the
western part. The created the
Gloucester Town and Farm Association Farm and Villas development plan. This encompassed
a large portion of western Galloway, which was divided up into
large farm lots and small town
lots that became Egg Harbor
City.
During the Civil War Galloway
residents volunteered to serve
in the Union Army. The only record found in Galloway records
regarding the Civil War is for
1866. An estimated 52 Galloway
residents served. Pitman Adams
of Unionville (Port Republic) lost
an arm at Cold Harbor, Va., and
died at home of typhoid fever.
David Hewtit was wounded and
taken prisoner at Chancellorsville and later died. J. Morris
Cavalier and Mark Johnson were
killed at Far Oaks. Samuel Cavalier served with distinction and
returned home a lieutenant.
In terms of transportation,
things were much different than
today. In earlier years, Moss Mill
Road and the road to Coopers
Ferry were the main stagecoach
routes through Galloway to Samuel Coopers Ferry in Camden.
In the 1920s the automobile
was making a major impact on
the regions transportation system. People were using automobiles and frequenting the train
less and less. With the freedom
the individual automobile gave,
travelers were no longer willing
to wait for the train. They could
just hop in a car and head to the
shore whenever they felt like it.
By 1932, Galloway had an
extremely successful resort

nearby called Atlantic City, and
there was a need for a state
highway through Galloway to Atlantic City. Thus, U.S. Route 30
was constructed through quiet
Galloway, spurring commercial
growth.
Tourist camps with cabins and
restaurants began popping up
along the road. But around the
time when Route 30 was constructed, the Great Depression
hit the nation, slowing development.
After World War II into the
50s and 60s there was a period of great expansion for the
entire country, including Galloway. With everybody now owning a car, new hotels and motels
sprung up throughout the area.
However, with the advent of
cheap airfares and air conditioning, the regions decline slowly
began and was in full swing by
the early 1970s. Talk began at
this time of legalized gaming to
bring the region back. The first
casino opened in 1978, which
started the economic rebirth of
the region. With it came population, jobs and congestion from
the early 80s to the present.

more on the history of Galloway,

Absecon: Evolution of a name
By ROB REID
Absecon Historical Society President
Following is a brief timeline of the

naming of the place called Absecon.
Before European settlers arrived,
South Jersey was called Scheyechbi by the Lenni-Lenape. A division of
the Lenni-Lenape, the Unalachtigo,
called the Atlantic County area Absegami.
In 1616 this region was called Eyren Haven, or Harbor of Eggs, by
the Dutch explorer Capt. Cornelius
Hendericks, as shown on a map prepared at that time.
On a map titled Virginia and Maryland, as it is Planted and Inhabited
this Present Year 1670, which contains the notation surveyed and exactly drawne by the only labour and
endeavour of Augustine Herrman,
the area known today as southern
New Jersey was identied as New
Jarsy Pars.
A note on the map states that the
area is inhabited only or most by Indians. Indian long houses are shown
along the rivers. The Great Egg Harbor Inlet and Little Egg Harbor Inlet
are both labeled. The island that will
become known as Absecon Island
or Absecon Beach is labeled Some

wood land & some sandy hills. What
is Absecon Inlet today is labeled Little Egg Harbor.
Gloucester County Court records
from 1693 show that what we now
call Atlantic County was being called
Egg Harbor.
A 1750 map found in the Library
of Congress labels an island south of
Little Egg Harbor as Absecon Beach.
On a survey prepared by British
troops of the Province of New Jersey in 1769, an island north of Great
Egg Harbour River is labeled as Absecum Beach.
The metes and bounds description of Galloway in a charter from
King George III from 1774 calls Absecon Inlet, Absecon Bay and Absecon Creek as Absequan.
The rst post ofce established
in 1807 was Absecombe, also pronounced Absequam or Absekum.
On a map labeled New Jersey
1812, there is an island labeled Absecum Beach.
By 1837 the spelling was narrowed down to Absecom or Absecon. There was a friendly rivalry
among the citizens of the community
over just how it should be spelled.
Enoch Doughty insisted Absecom

was correct and used that form all
his life. Dr. Jonathan Pitney favored
Absecon, and in his various passions
in the community he would assert his
preference.
A U.S. Coast Survey of part of
the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey
from Little Egg Harbour to Brakersville prepared by the Navy in 1841
shows Absecon Inlet, Abescon Bay
and Absecon. In 1872 an act to incorporate the town of Absecom out
of parts of Galloway Township and
Egg Harbor Township, in the county
of Atlantic was approved by the state
Assembly. A supplement to that act
was approved Feb. 29. It contained
minor changes to the description of
the towns boundary and a change in
the spelling of Town of Absecom to
Town of Absecon.
A second supplement to the act of
incorporation was approved in 1875.
It appeared that the spelling of Absecon with an N was now ofcially
established. However, a booklet published by the municipality only added
confusion. Its cover announced the
Charter of the Town of Absecom,
New Jersey in bold type. Inside the
booklet listed the Present Town
Council of Absecom, N.J.

On March 24, 1902 the Legislature of the state of New Jersey approved an act to incorporate Absecon as a city, Absecon City. Within
the description of the boundaries the
act refers to all that part or portion
of County of Atlantic, formally herein as the Town of Abescon. At the
conclusion of the description of the
city boundaries the ofcial statement
reads (in part), They are hereby
ordained, constituted and declared
to be, from time to time, and forever here after one body, politic and
corporate in fact and in name by the
name of Absecon City.
You can learn many more interesting things about our town called
Absecon by joining the Absecon Historical Society. Membership is $20
annually for an individual or $25 for
a family.
Visitors are welcome to visit the

SCOSA keeps the againg active

The Stockton Center on Successful Aging was founded in 2007 to
nurture body, mind and spirit of older
adults through research, education
and service. Its programming for
older adults, family members, professionals and providers, and students
is responsive to local, regional and
statewide needs and opportunities
related to population aging.
Throughout the year, at locations
in Atlantic, Cape May and Ocean
counties, SCOSA offers a variety of
educational programs and activities
that are mostly free of charge. Topics
range from creative arts and writing
to money management and learning
to cope with depression or dementia.
Last year 1,600 people participated in 116 SCOSA programs or
events at 11 different locations.
SCOSA will hold its much awaited
annual Aging Successfully Festival
9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Wednesday, May
13 in the Campus Center at Stockton University, 101 Vera King Farris
Drive, Galloway.
The daylong event celebrates
Older Americans Month and the 50th
Anniversary of the Older Americans
Act. This years theme is Get Into
the Act, focusing on how older adults
are taking charge of their health, getting engaged in their communities,
and making positive impacts in the
lives of others.
The event is free and ample
parking is available just outside the
building, as Stockton classes wont
be in session. Sponsors, exhibitors
and supporters are needed for the
fundraiser that supports SCOSAs
program development.
In addition to educational programming, the Stockton Center on
Successful Aging promotes research
by Stockton Faculty Research Fellows and Scholars and their students, and presents current research
and practice ndings through scholarly lectures on campus and continuing professional education at various
sites.
Currently three faculty fellows and
three faculty scholars are conducting
SCOSA-sponsored research projects on dementia, student service
initiatives, guided autobiography, poetry, and other topics.
SCOSA faculty and staff also
have national and international inuence and visibility through work with
organizations such as the AARP, the
American Society on Aging, The Gerontological Society of America, Association for Gerontology in Higher
Education and the National Association of Social Workers.
SCOSAs service initiatives involve participation in the Alzheimers
Association annual Walk to End Alzheimers, encouragement of service
learning projects in undergraduate
gerontology courses, as well as several other volunteer activities by faculty, students, and staff. SCOSA and
Stocktons Gerontology Program (an
AGHE Program of Merit recipient)
position Stockton University as an
inuential leader in research, education, and service on aging.

Rotary taking action to help others

The Rotary Club of Absecon/
Galloway brings together dedicated
individuals to exchange ideas, build
relationships, and take action.
Rotary members believe that
when they partner with other organizations, they multiply the impact
made by either group. They call it the
Rotary effect.
From local food banks to global
humanitarian organizations, the Rotary Club works with a wide variety of
partners, including: The South Jersey
Field of Dreams, Absecon; Absegami
High School PTSO, Galloway; Galloway Township Board of Edcuation,
Galloway; Absecon Board of Education, Absecon; The Lions Club of Absecon; The Boy Scouts of America
- Jersey Shore Council; the Galloway
Township Senior Center, Galloway.
Each year, the Absecon/Galloway
Rotary Club provides all 3rd grade
students in Absecon and Galloway
Township a free dictionary. This includes public, parochial and private
schools in our community.
The 1.2 million-member Rotary
organization started with the vision of
one manPaul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the worlds
rst service organizations, the Rotary
Club of Chicago, on Feb. 23, 1905 as

a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange
ideas and form meaningful, lifelong
friendships.
Rotarys name came from the
groups early practice of rotating
meetings among the ofces of each
member. The Rotary Clubs commitment to service is ongoing. It began a
ght against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in
the Philippines. By 2012, only three
countries remain in the polio-endemicdown from 125 in 1988.
In 2016, the group plans to host
a Comedy Night on May 16 for $45
a person as a fundraiser to support
Rotary programs.
The local ofcers are: Frank Britt,
president; Linda Eattock, treasurer;
Anne Thomas, secretary.
The Rotary Club of Absecon/
Galloway meets at 7:30 a.m. on the
second and fourth Thursday of the
month at Romanellis Caf, 279 S.
New York Road, Galloway.

Eds and meds keep Galloway thriving

By LAURA STETSER
Staff Writer
With economic anchors like the
newly renamed Stockton University
and AtlantiCare Regional Medical
Center so-called eds and meds
as well as other features such as
access to major roadways, Galloway
keeps on growing.
Stockton
Stockton is home to 8,570 fulland part-time students and employs
about 284 faculty members, many of
whom eat and shop while in town.
When the Board of Trustees approved changing the schools designation from college to university on
Feb. 18, the move further solidied
its presence in the town.
In becoming a university, we honor those values while continuing our
journey as an environment for excellence and a partner in New Jerseys
social and economic development,
Stockton President Herman Saatkamp said.
The schools main campus in
Galloway opened a 154,000-squarefoot Campus Center in 2011 and
a 66,350-square-foot Unied Science Center in 2013. It purchased
Seaview Resort in 2010 and uses it
as part of its educational programming in hospitality and tourism curriculum. The hotel portion is used as
student housing as well. Ground has
been broken for a 59,843-squarefoot expansion, the Unied Science
Center 2, due to open in 2017. A new
classroom building is also scheduled
to open in 2017.
AtlantiCare
AtlantiCare offers similar benets
to local businesses. According to
the hospital website, AtlantiCare is
the regions largest health care organization and its largest employer
outside of the casinos, with more
than 5,170 employees and 600
physicians across 70 South Jersey
locations. In recent years, the Mainland Campus opened a Center for
Childbirth and a new emergency department. It also houses the Heart
Institute and the Joint Institute, all
of which bring thousands of physicians, nurses, staff members, patients and families to Galloway on a
daily basis.
It was recognized nationally in
2014 for its neurology and neurosurgery and as a regional leader for
11 other specialties. The Mainland
campus is currently working on raising money for a $5.5 million transformation project which would add
a new main entrance and additional
renovations.
In addition to these anchors, the
township contains Historic Smithville,
a village of restored colonial buildings a tourist destination that, along
with the adjoining Village Greene,
includes more than 60 shops, restaurants, inns and attractions.
The 111-square-mile municipality benets from having major thoroughfares, including Route 30, that
offer high-prole business sites and
motels. The full Garden State Parkway interchange at Exit 41 (Jimmie
Leeds Road) opened on Friday,
March 13, and another is underway
at Exit 44.
Historic Smithville right in your backyard

By TRACY WALSH
Wander along our cobblestone walkways and over our
foot bridges to discover a village that seems as if it were frozen in time.
Historic Smithville started as
a simple, one room, stage coach
stop and over the last 60 years
has blossomed into a wonderful memory-making way to spend
a day or two.
When entering any of our 50
shoppes you will feel the hometown, small business, feel that
our shop owners pride themselves on.
The
carefully
manicured
grounds and attention to detail
make Historic Smithville a breath

of fresh air and a place you will
want to visit again and again.
And its right in your backyard.
Historic Smithville offers fine
dining or pizza on the boardwalk,
a day trip or an overnight stay, a
day out with the kids or a special
trip with the entire family.
We have Oktoberfest, our biggest festival with lots of people,
food and crafts; or simple Thursdays with the dog walking the
cobblestone walkways.
Memories are made, simple
days spent, and exciting events
discovered. Historic Smithville is
right in your backyard.
