Government Business History Education
Egg Harbor Township offers a wealth of opportunities

By JAMES SONNY McCULLOUGH
Mayor
Egg Harbor Township
government is
made up of ve
elected committee members,
which include a
mayor and deputy mayor. The
present government consists
of Mayor James
J. McCullough,
Deputy Mayor
Paul Hodson,
James Sonny McCullough
and committee
members John Carman, Joe Cafero and
Laura Pfrommer.
The Township of Egg Harbor is situated
in the southeast portion of Atlantic County,
contiguous with Atlantic City. With a land area
of approximately 68 square miles, it is one of
the largest municipalities in the state.
Our community is made up of diverse areas
of woodlands, waterfront and residential
growth areas. Egg Harbor Township has more
waterfront than any other town in New Jersey
from West Atlantic City all the way behind
Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate, Longport,
Ocean City and Somers Point, up to Mays

Landing.
Farmington, Bargaintown, Cardiff, Scullville
and West Atlantic City make up the majority of the township. Anchorage Poynte and
Seaview Harbor provide many waterfront
residences. We are part of the Pinelands, and
as a result our population exploded in the last
10 years.
From 2000 to 2010 the population went
from 30,058 to 43,323 a 44 percent
increase. School populations increased
substantially in correlation. Our residents approved many school building projects to keep
up with the demand in education. Meanwhile,
the mayor and Township Committee kept the
local-purpose tax one of the lowest in Atlantic
County for full-service communities. Members
of the Board of Education will be elected in
the regular November election along with
Township Committee members.
Likewise, the township has kept up with
the demand for additional municipal services
and recreational opportunities. We have
purchased many acres of open space for
preservation and recreation. Our parks are
centralized and serve many needs. Bargaintown Park was completed to provide soccer,
tennis and baseball opportunities in addition
to those provided at Canale Park. A new
55,000-square-foot Community Center was
completed in 2007 and provides a home for
Work or Play
recreational services, art and crafts, basketball, ne arts programs and many other
community activities. We have miles of trails
for use by our residents, and our Arboretum
provides an opportunity to enjoy peace and
tranquility in a wooded setting. Veterans
Park is the home to football, cheerleading,
baseball, BMX and street hockey, and many
other recreation activities are provided by
numerous groups. Egg Harbor Township
owns its own golf course that many residents
enjoy. We also have many marinas for shing
and boating.
Egg Harbor Township is the home of
Atlantic City International Airport, which offers
ights throughout the United States and is the
home of Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City,
the 177th Fighter Wing, and the Next Generation Aviation Research and Technology Park.
The Atlantic City Expressway and Garden
State Parkway intersect our town, while major
bus lines provide public transportation. It is
easy to connect to anywhere in New Jersey
and surrounding states from the township.
Residents and visitors can enjoy our expansive Great Egg Harbor River frontage, our
many parks, and our cultural and recreational
activities. Business growth continues in Egg
Harbor Township, and excellent restaurants
provide a wide variety of cuisine, but our
wonderful residents are the real reason Egg
Harbor Township is a great place to live.

are available from the High School guidance department. The endowment is presented in increments of $10,000; the total amount presented
annually is at the discretion of the managing nancial institute.
The foundation works with the community and businesses to raise
thousands of dollars for students through its annual Scholarship
Golf Tournament, an employee payroll deduction plan, various fundraisers and individual and corporate donations and memorial gifts.

ACUA leads the way with green initiatives

The Atlantic County Utilities
Authority was formed in the late
1960s by the Atlantic County
Board of Chosen Freeholders
to develop a comprehensive
approach to wastewater
management. The ACUA is
charged with providing responsible waste management services
to protect local waters and
lands from pollution; it also goes
beyond its mandate by exploring
renewable energy and alternative
fuel projects.
In 1978 the wastewater
treatment plant was built to
replace an outdated system,
greatly improving the local
waterways essential for tourism,
recreation and shellshing.
In 1981 the ACUA was charged
by the freeholders with implementing the Atlantic County Solid
Waste Management Plan. Prior
to this decision, trash was buried
in 46 unlined landlls, a practice
which threatened groundwater
resources. In 1990 the ACUA
began a system to recycle,
compost and dispose of solid
waste that has become nationally
recognized.
ACUAs solid waste facilities
are located on Delilah Road in
Egg Harbor Township at the 360acre Haneman Environmental
Park. At this site, ACUA operates
a landll, a single-stream
recycling center, a compost site,
transfer station, maintenance
center, geothermal administration

include a 500-kw solar project
and the 7.5-mw Jersey Atlantic
Wind Farm, located at the
wastewater treatment plant, a
5.4-mw landll gas-to-energy
project and the areas rst publicly
accessible compressed natural

Township.
ACUA is transitioning its
biodiesel collection eet to
compressed natural gas and
continues to build its eet of zeroemissions electric vehicles. ACUA
is also partnering with Viridity
Energy to install 1 megawatt of
battery storage at the wastewater
facility. The system is planned to
be installed later this year.
ACUA also provides shared
services to Atlantic County
municipalities, government
agencies, schools and
businesses such as the collection
of recycling, trash, bulky waste

and yard waste; street sweeping
services, sludge hauling,
lab services, pump station
maintenance, sewer service

maintenance, grease recovery,
and compressed natural gas.
ACUA keeps Atlantic County
clean and green through
groundwater protection and waste
management including singlestream recycling, household
hazardous waste disposal and the

program. It works to educate the
community about environmental
protection and renewable energy
through presentations, tours,
community events and a strong
social media presence.

The township Nature Reserve has been recognized for its diverse habitat which shelters a wide variety of wildlife.
Nature Reserve is 220 acres of quietude

The Egg Harbor Township
Nature Reserve is a 220-acre
sanctuary located in the midst of
a residential community off Zion
Road. The reserve has three
components: wooded forest, a
lake area, and an environmental
learning center. Each offers
diverse terrain and the opportunity to enjoy varied activities in
a passive and pristine setting,
including biking, hiking, shing
and birdwatching.
The township was begun
the process of reclaiming and
restoring the land with the
assistance of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. The township
has entrusted the Egg Harbor
Township Nature Reserve LLC,
a nonprot corporation, to develop the reserve in a responsible
and environmentally sensitive
manner for the use and enjoyment of generations to come.
The learning center has a
canopied building constructed
by local students. There are
birdhouses and parking facilities.
The 15-acre site has a trail system that has been recognized
by the New Jersey Audubon
Birding and Wildlife Trail System
for its diverse habitat. To date,
48 different species of trees
have been identied throughout
the reserve.
The 45-acre lake is man-
made and fed by subterranean

springs. It is about 20 feet deep
at its deepest. Five small islands
create picturesque scenery as
well as a buffer for three vernal
ponds. The lake is populated by
an abundance of bass that may
be shed from the shoreline,
canoe or kayak.
The lake area is surrounded
by another 35 acres of upland
areas encircled by both lower
and upper-tier trails that are
suitable for walking, running and
biking. The uplands serve as
a habitat for numerous wildlife
such as reptiles, amphibians,
wading and migratory birds, ospreys and peregrine falcons. An
American bald eagle has been
spotted feeding along the lake.
The woods section of the
park is a 125-acre oak and pine
forest, mostly undisturbed, with
miles of easily navigable trails
shared by hikers, runners and
bicyclists. Plans include an ecofriendly outdoor tness system.
The trail system connects all
components of the reserve and
also serves as habitat for deer,
birds, rabbits and foxes.

Cardiff VFW Post 8098 welcomes veterans from all conicts

By SUZANNE MARINO
Staff Writer
Veterans have a place of honor here, where
the job of staying on top of veterans issues is
not taken lightly. The Egg Harbor Township
Veterans Advisory Board was started by Mayor
James Sonny McCullough to give the veterans not only a sounding board but a voice in the
community and a forum to address their needs
and to preserve and honor the men and women
who have put on a uniform in the service of our
nation.
Robert Dodson is the chairman. Township
Committeeman Paul Hodson serves as the liaison between the VAB and the Township Committee. The group is working on plans for the
annual Memorial Day parade set for Monday,
May 26.
Any group that wishes to take part in the parade may do so as long as it has some type of
patriotic theme. Color guards, marching units,
oats, emergency vehicles and civic organizations can register for the parade at www.ehtgov.
org by clicking the link for the calendar and then
for Memorial Day parade. For information contact any committee member at 609-926-4088.
Township veterans also have Cardiff VFW
Post 8098, with John Humphrey as post commander.
A 34-year U.S. Army veteran, Humphrey
spent 12 years on active duty and the balance
with the National Guard and Reserves. He
completed a tour in Afghanistan before he mustered out with the rank of sergeant major.
Humphrey said the post welcomes all veterans, including those who fought in World War
II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan, and those who served during peacetime as well.
We really try to help our fellow vets whether just providing them with a place to go where
there are other veterans or to help them understand and receive the benets they are entitled
to thats what we try and do, the commander
said.
The post is responsible for placing ags on
the graves of military personnel buried in the
Laurel Cemetery. Humphrey said they get
some help from the Boy Scouts, but most of the
work is undertaken by post members.

The post home is available to groups or
individuals to rent for parties and functions.
Humphrey said renting the hall is another way
people can help the veterans group, providing
nancial support for operating expenses and
the many charitable donations made by the
post.
Thanks to a law passed by the New Jersey
legislature earlier this year, proceeds from
games of chance like bingo and rafes can be
used toward building maintenance or to help
veterans in need. Previously, any money realized from such activities had to be used for
scholarships.
The Cardiff post hall at the corner of Spruce
and Franklin avenues can accommodate up to
125 people and has handicap access. It has a
liquor license, and patrons renting the hall can
purchase drinks at the bar.
Post 8098 is also a drop-off location for torn
and tattered U.S. ags. Members hold a ceremony each Flag Day, June 14, and collect ags
all year long in a red, white and blue mailbox
located in the post parking lot.

THE LARGEST SHOWER DOOR SHOWROOM IN SOUTH JERSEY
Dog Park is in the works

Last year the friends of the Friends
of the Egg Harbor Township Dog
Park were successful in securing
a lease for the dog park project.
Township ofcials agreed to lease
them a 250-by-500 foot wooded
parcel of land on Swift Drive with the
stipulation that the non-prot, all-volunteer group shoulder the nancial
responsibility and the job of clearing
the land and building and maintaining the park.
The site, which is centrally located, will be open to all Atlantic County
residents.
Our mission is to create a fencedin, off leash dog park where well-behaved canine citizens can exercise
in a clean, safe environment without
endangering or annoying people,
property or wildlife. The dog park
will be a beautiful, well-maintained
space open to dog lovers and
friends who are willing to uphold the
parks rules and regulations.
The group depends on private
and corporate sponsors and is committed to building the park at no cost
to taxpayers.
Upcoming events to help raise

funds for the construction of the
park include the Bark for Your Park
Walk on Saturday, June 7, at the
Bargaintown Park on Delaware Avenue.
You can register at www.ehtdogpark.com.
Also a luncheon is planned at the
Bonesh Grill on Friday, Aug. 15, located on Fire Road.
A Pawsta Dinner is being planned
for sometime in October.
The volunteer, 501 C-3 non-prot
committee is still a comparatively
small one, and functions on a tiny
budget. The groups mission also
includes pursuing local business
sponsors, but they need your help.
The Friends of the Egg Harbor
Township Dog Park are looking for
donations of lumber, concrete work,
landscaping and fencing; email
dburns054@gmail.com
Monetary donations are also welcome through www.ehtdogpark.
com website. All donations are tax

Lacrosse is
growing in EHT
The Egg Harbor Township Police Athletic
League Enforcers Lacrosse program offers a
range of opportunities in this fast-growing sport
for township children, from beginner teams and
up. Practices are held at the Dr. Joyanne D.
Miller School, and game locations vary.
Weekly tournaments, fundraisers, paintball
tournaments and end-of-season fun day are
some of the program highlights.
The lacrosse program is coordinated by

Soccer club
promotes healthy EHT recreation programs offer
fun and tness for all ages
exercise for all
The Egg Harbor Township Soccer Club was
formed in 2000 to promote and encourage support of soccer in Egg Harbor Township for children ages 4 to 17.
The coaches within the club teach the children sportsmanship and fair play in the sport of
soccer and to teach them the benets of team
sport; to promote and encourage the support,
pleasure, exercise and recreation of its members and their children. The Club encourages
play at all levels, from recreational to a competitive traveling soccer program.
This spring, Amy Smith began an adaptive
program to the Egg Harbor Township Soccer Club in which Egg Harbor Township High
School volunteers participate with the children.
The club has monthly meetings at 7:30 p.m.
the second Tuesday of every month at the Egg
Harbor Township Community Center.
For more information about the club, visit
www.ehtsoccerclub.com or see EHT Soccer
Club on Facebook.

Theres never a reason to get bored, sedentary or stuck in a rut in Egg Harbor Township. The township recreation department
offers more than 30 activities for people of
every age.
If you or your child enjoys running, swimming or playing any game with a ball or bat, a
lacrosse stick or even a motor, there is probably a team, a sport or an activity waiting for
you in the township.
Department and the Egg Harbor Township
Youth Organization have dozens of sports
squads, each run by volunteer coaches or
hobbyists.
The list of offerings includes dance, eld
hockey, wrestling, snowman making, sand
sculpturing, soccer, fencing, karate, ag football and Hooked on Fishing. There is also a
junior hockey program, a Phillies Home Run
Derby and an NFL Punt Pass and Kick competition thrown in.
For links to those programs see www.ehtgov.org/recreation, go to the bottom of the
page and click on the links.
If thats not enough action, the township
also sponsors eight athletic organizations
that include the EHT BMX Association, the
EHT Street Hockey Association, the EHT
Soccer Club, the EHT Baseball Association,
the EHT Youth Softball Association, the EHT
Youth Organization, which elds cheerleading and football squads, and the EHT Lacrosse Association.
Do you like riding your bike around your

neighborhood or on a homemade track or
jumps? The BMX Association is now open
for the 2014 season. Riders of the same age
and skill level race their 20-inch bicycles or
24-inch cruisers over a 1,000-foot-long track
of turns and obstacles.
BMX is a competitive type of racing for all
ages, and its safer than riding on the street,
according to organizers, since protective
gear is required, and bikes must pass a safety inspection before every race.
The action begins with registration 6 p.m.
Saturdays at the track in front of Veterans
Park on Ocean Heights Avenue. The BMX
Association adds Thursday races beginning
in June.
Egg Harbor Township Soccer Club has
more than 500 participants and provides
children ages 4 to 14 a place to play soccer
through three separate levels.
The EHT Police Athletic League offers recreational activities such as football, paintball,
an ATV, dirt bike and Go-Kart riding facility,
a youth aviation club and several other activities. Go to www.ehtpal.org or call (609)
645-8413.
And nally, for those who prefer a more
leisurely pace, McCulloughs Emerald Golf
Links offers players a distinctly different
Irish-Scottish golng experience with wideopen fairways, tricky winds, true undulating
greens and challenging grass mounds and
bunkers.
So theres no excuse to ever feel bored
in Egg Harbor Township. Tired, maybe. But
bored? Never.
