Its great to be a resident of North eld. 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, North eld 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 North eld 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 North eld 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, North eld 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

Jerry McGee is mayor of Northfi eld.

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.

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 North eld Mothers League has been helping families in the community for more than 80 years. Its goal is to provide assis-tance to North eld 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 certi cates 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 North eld.

The groups activities are fund-ed through events such as the North eld 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 [email protected].

North eld Mothers League has a history of helping

The Northfi eld Mothers League is a presence at every City of North-fi eld event, including the Fourth of July parade.

Friends of the North eld Librarysponsors annual events for allThe Otto Bruyns North eld Public Library, an independent library, is a

hub for activity in the city. Working closely with the North eld Library and its activities director Paul Bruner is the Friends of the North eld 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 North eld 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 North eld Library is located at 241 W. Mill Road.


The North eld 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 North eld School District is Janice Fipp.

The North eld Community School opened in 1998. Prior to that time North eld 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 North eld 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 North eld 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 North eld 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 North eld 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 of cial 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.

North eld 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://north eld.groupfusion.net.

The Northfi eld Community School is the fi rst elementary school in the county to be fully Wi-Fi accessible.

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 North eld 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 North eld Public Library book drive, partici-pating in food drives and cleaning up the bike path from North eld 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, North eld 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 recon guration of the administrative wing and front of ce, 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. Call 609-927-4151 or see www.

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 Gar eld 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.

Linwood schools began in a Friends Meeting HouseThe core of the present-day Belhaven Middle School had its start as the Belhaven Avenue HighSchool, built in 1908.

The North eld Cultural Committee was com-missioned by the City of North eld in 1972 as the Bicentennial Committee. Following the Bi-centennial, the city authorized the committee to continue as the North eld Cultural Committee. As such, it is caretaker of North elds 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 North eld Citizen of the Year, Miss Fourth of July and the rst baby born each year to North eld 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 North eld resident Jack English and designed by Howard Bud Stout, another former resident.

Mementos of North elds 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 (North elds 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@cityofnorth eld.org. Volun-teers are always needed to help with fundraising projects that support the museum. Call 609-383-1505 or see The North eld Museum and Casto House on Facebook.

Northfield Cultural Committee keeps history alive


Seniors can live independently, stay active with help of county servicesBy LAURA STETSERStaff Writer

For senior citizens residing in North eld, 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 Of ce 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.

Beloved bike path connects North eld, Linwood and Somers Point

Although the Mainland communities of North eld, 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 North eld city line at Dolphin Av-enue.

At its North eld 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 nonpro t groups to inform the public about issues con-cerning conservation and natural resources.

Pro ts 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 con icts. 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.

Somers Point Historical MuseumThe 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 MansionThe 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.

Somers Point Good 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.

Mainland Choral Society The Mainland Choral Society (community chorus), Dedicated to

Musical Excellence, presents concerts for the community to enjoy throughout the year at the Christ Church, Shore Road and Meyran Ave. in Somers Point.

The group is conducted by Elaine King and welcomes new mem-bers. For additional information contact the conductor at 609-266-8912.

The annual Somers Point Good Old Days Festival takes place in September, as a farewell to summer at John F. Kennedy Memorial Park.

In addition to antique cars on display, childrens entertainment in-cluding carnival games, a dunk tank, in atable amusements, pony rides, karate and cheerleading demonstra-tions the days events feature a K- 9 demonstration make it a day lled with something fun for everyone.

Music is a big part of Good Old Days and the event features free live musical performances on three stages throughout the day and more than 50 vendors and community groups combined with food and treats including family friendly $1 hot dogs and hamburgers that make Good Old Days Festival an event not to miss.

Proceeds from the event bene t the Lawrence Bud Kern Schol-arship Foundation. Established in 1979 in honor of former Recreation Commission chairman and Little League president, Lawrence Bud 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.

For a printable race application, directions to Kennedy Park and additional information, see www.sp-goodolddays.com.

Atlantic Countys Mainland area, the cities of Linwood, North eld 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.

North elds 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.

North eld 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 North eld Cultural Committee is responsible for the North eld 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 North eld, 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 of ce 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 North eld Historical Society supports the Casto House and the North eld 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 North eld 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.
