there are basically two different Jersey Shores There are the beach towns from Sandy Hook down to Seaside Park and everything in between If you grew up in "Central Jersey" or what I like to call North Jersey The other part of the Jersey Shore is from LBI down to Cape May Most people are familiar with one or the other This restaurant happens to be at the South Jersey Shore just a few miles behind one of the most popular Jersey Shore towns in the country Even most people who go to Ocean City may not have ever been to or heard of this place It's in a quiet corner of northern Cape May County called Marmora The Tuckahoe Inn has been operated in modern times since 1963 as a tavern and restaurant but its history as an inn dates back to 1736 That's when Charles Harp restored and rebuilt the Inn to its current form It was sold to the Merryman family in 1996 and has been operated it to the present day If you're looking for great water views of the bay and tremendous Jersey Shore food with

ForecastWatch, Global and Regional Weather Forecast Accuracy Overview Monday’s ceremony was held beside Tuckahoe Creek and the former Tuckahoe Village Recreation Association property Plans for more boardwalks along Henrico’s western border are moving forward with a recent land donation from a longtime area real estate firm that’s previously contributed to the cause A ceremony Monday at the site of the former Tuckahoe Village Recreation Association property marked the start of the next phase of Tuckahoe Creek Park which the county plans to enhance with additional boardwalks and trails that would complement – but not connect to – the existing boardwalk at Old Coach Lane and the western terminus of Ridgefield Parkway A new boardwalk that could stretch over 2 linear miles is planned to start at the former rec association property at 1128 Westbriar Drive which is one of four parcels totaling about 21 acres that were recently donated by The Wilton Cos The former Tuckahoe Village Recreation Association property The trailhead will be named Wilton Landing in honor of the company which manages the nearby Tuckahoe Village Shopping Center and previously donated 240 acres along Tuckahoe Creek in the early 1980s The boardwalk would provide greater access to the creek for birdwatching and kayaking It also would include signage highlighting the creek’s history and use as a canal for transporting coal from nearby mines to area railways as well as a 9-acre donation by the nearby Lakewood retirement community Henrico is aiming to finalize designs for the boardwalk with feedback from the community A meeting is scheduled this Thursday at Lakewood to present the park’s master plan which the county developed with engineering firm VHB A project map shows the new boardwalk would extend westward from the Wilton Landing trailhead where the old swimming pool would be replaced with a shelter and elevated deck and the tennis courts would be used to provide additional parking A map of the project shows the boardwalk’s route and planned amenities fishing pier and kayak/paddle launch across the marshland from Patterson Avenue where a private trail would connect Lakewood to the boardwalk A third overlook near the terminus of Westshire Lane would bend the boardwalk northward to connect with the Tuckahoe Village West Recreation Association and Lauderdale Drive The new boardwalk would add to the roughly half-mile boardwalk at Old Coach and Ridgefield that the county completed several years ago A third section is planned beside the GreenGate development off West Broad Street via a 21-acre donation from developer Markel | Eagle The route of the planned boardwalk beside GreenGate off West Broad Street The additional sections are to be funded with $10 million that voters approved in county bond referendums in 2016 and 2022 Pending completion of the community input process the Wilton Landing portion could start construction by this time next year and finish in 12 months Henrico Rec & Parks Director John Zannino said Wilton’s donation comes three years after a fire in late 2021 destroyed the clubhouse at Tuckahoe Village Recreation Association which officials said had become less active in recent years Wilton acquired the property in late 2022 and approached the county about donating it and the three other parcels that connect previously donated land on both sides of Patterson said the recent donation made sense in light of challenges with building anything new on the site which is low-lying and adjacent to marshland we demoed everything but we saved all the impervious surfaces with the idea that that would work for the county,” Johnson said pool and existing parking that he said would be difficult to provide otherwise Aware that Henrico had been planning for years for a linear park that theoretically would run from Patterson to Broad “It was just a natural idea to put something together with the county to supplement what we’ve already seen them doing from Broad Street all the way down to here This puts an access point to Patterson Avenue.” While a contiguous Patterson-to-Broad boardwalk has been deemed unfeasible due to encroachments on existing homes Johnson said the additional amenities would benefit the community which also leases and manages the adjacent Tuckahoe Village Merchants retail strip in addition to the shopping center “If people coming by here to enjoy this park happen to stop over at one of the adjoining shopping centers noting it also frees up Wilton from liability insurance it had been paying on the property and this is property that we’re not going to develop Rather than just holding onto it and having no practical good come from it we can donate to the county and let the residents enjoy it,” he said The boardwalk would extend across Tuckahoe Creek from the former rec association property county officials said Wilton’s donation is making the boardwalk project possible who represents the Tuckahoe District that includes Tuckahoe Creek said the 260 acres that Wilton has donated over decades is the largest for recreational use in Henrico’s history “This generous gift of land will allow the county to make Tuckahoe Creek an even better place for Henrico residents to enjoy all that we have to offer,” Rogish said “These collaborations exemplify what can happen when an 80-year-old business in Henrico County can come together with government and residents to make our county a better place to live Thursday’s meeting to present the park master plan and receive feedback is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Lakewood’s Simms Center at 1900 Lauderdale Drive.

Giana Dormi had nine points and two steals for Pine Plains (13-8) Nevaeh Rennie added six points and nine rebounds Pine Plains is also a young team that last week won its first section title since 2017 Those players are new to this stage while the Tigers have the benefit of experience They survived an overtime nail-biter against Millbrook in the regional final last season Game ballsDoherty scored eight of her nine points in the first quarter and had three steals Kern added eight first-half points and Chloe Angello had six points and eight rebounds before intermission "We play with a lot of intensity and I give our coaches credit for focusing so much on conditioning," Doherty said "That's how we're able to bring it consistently." The Tigers (16-7) advance to the state semifinals on March 20 at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy Tuckahoe lost to Section 4's Moravia in this round last year "That was our first time ever getting that far," DiSalvatore said "We got the experience last year and I think that'll help us this time They said it"It's amazing and definitely something we appreciate because not a lot of teams go as far with this many freshmen and sophomores," Angello said of the Tigers "We're still not fully mature and we're only gonna get better for us to already have a chance to compete for a state championship Stephen Haynes: shaynes@poughkeepsiejournal.com; 845-437-4826; Twitter: @StephenHaynes4 NEWBURGH — Know that old sports bromide about acting like you've been there before Because the final buzzer sounding kicked off an uproarious celebration that began on the court with leaping chest bumps and continued in the locker room with cheers and applause loud enough to drown out the thumping rap music "Hey," senior Lucas Jolley said with a grin Nobody on the team has been here before and acting as if this accomplishment is routine and the Tigers' 48-44 win over Section 9's Mount Academy earned them another advancing to the Class C boys basketball regional final "We hadn't won a section title in a little while so we came into the season with that as our goal," said Bamford alluding to his team winning its first Section 1 championship since 2019 there’s extra motivation to keep it going." on Rocco Briante's corner 3 with 31 seconds left in the period That ended a back-and-forth period in which the teams had exchanged runs Bamford's short jumper extended it to 46-38 three minutes into the fourth With a stout defense that forced several perimeter turnovers and had the 6-foot-7 Bamford dropped as the rim protector in a hybrid zone Tuckahoe held the Eagles to five points in the fourth "They're a high-powered offense that came in averaging 70 (points) and we held them to 44," Tigers coach Felix Nicodemo said "That's a testament to these guys preparing well and working hard to execute." Mount Academy erased an early 22-13 deficit and went up 36-30 on Bruce Maendel's 3-pointer with 2:24 remaining in the third Jolley and Ryan Gentry were disruptive and made half-court offense seem like a chore Jake Maendel scored 18 points for Mount (16-5) "We knocked down big shots and our defense was incredible," Bamford said "We held down one of the best teams in the class Bamford was impactful in the paint on both ends serving as a lob option on some inbound quick-hitters and dominating the defensive boards three blocks and two steals to lead Tuckahoe Luca Delconte added nine points and 10 rebounds Tuckahoe advances to face Section 11's Greenport on Saturday at Center Moriches High School on Long Island but we've got a great team with a lot of depth and talent," Jolley said "We've got guys coming off the bench and playing great because we appreciate all the work they put it to make it possible for us." it was assistant coach Vincenzo Pizzuti's birthday So the players rapping along to the chorus of "In Da Club" was in tribute to him seeing the kids get excited about their accomplishments," Nicodemo said "We started this season believing it could be our year and what we're seeing now is the payoff of their hard work."

the aji-gari horse mackerel with ginger roll; the colorful bento boxes; and the elaborate “Tuckahoe roll” of eel They offer an omakase at the counter for $150 per person Even newer is Taco Bahama (64 Main Street;

to maintain the feeling of small town charm that has made Tuckahoe attractive for several movie and TV series locations If you are driving through the small South Jersey towns of Tuckahoe or Woodbine next week you may see film crews in the area for a new Steven Spielberg movie which is being billed as one of the most anticipated sci-fi films in a long time The town's train station is being used for a new UFO movie produced by Spielberg and they are shooting scenes starting next week in the two Cape May County towns crews have been in town for rehearsals and getting the lay of the land as they get ready to begin production around the train station and train tracks that pass through the two towns Many larea locals are being used for the parts of train passengers and car drivers While much of the movie is being filmed in the northern part of the state the two Cape May county towns are being used for certain parts of the film One thing the movie has generated is more local business with film crews staying in Ocean City hotels and having lunch or dinner or grabbing a post-production work beer in Woodbine and Upper Township restaurants The movie is expected to be released in June

Skuggevik dressed as the Joker on Halloween Demolition Began Despite Westchester County’s $2.5 Million 2025 Budget Allocation to Preserve Protect and Restore This Historic Landmark The Friends of the Ward House filed a petition in the state Supreme Court today seeking a judge’s order to stop a developer from continuing unlawful demolition at the landmarked Ward House in Tuckahoe The improper action by the developer—Biggest Fish Westchester LLC—directly violates the village’s Historic Preservation Law “the building department shall not issue a building permit for proposed work to a local landmark until a certificate of appropriateness has first been approved by the Historic Preservation Commission.” village officials issued an interior demolition permit without obtaining the necessary certificate of appropriateness from the Tuckahoe Historic Preservation Commission This oversight undermines the ordinance’s intent to safeguard local landmarks “This action is clearly a calculated effort by the current owner of the Ward House to engage in piecemeal demolition gradually degrading the property’s historical value,” said Sal Provenzano of the Friends of the Ward House “Such tactics are an affront to the preservation of Tuckahoe’s heritage and set a dangerous precedent for other landmarked properties in the village.” The Friends of the Ward House urge village officials to enforce the historic preservation ordinance without exceptions and call on the community to demand accountability “Village officials must begin an investigation to understand how this permit was issued without proper approval and steps must be taken to prevent such breaches from occurring in the future,” added Provenzano “Any further work on the Ward House should stop immediately until the Historic Preservation Commission reviews and approves the data in accordance with the law.” The Ward House was the scene of important moments in American history a patriot and key figure in the American Revolutionary War was mortally wounded and dozens of patriots were killed in front of the building remains dedicated to preserving this iconic landmark The organization calls on all residents to join

There is comfort in the experience of having successfully performed a similar task Except the freshman had never done this before He's a soccer player who joined the Burke Catholic football team this fall on a whim and it was his first time playing either sport in these conditions but he does," teammate Kevin Cushing said afterward "He's just come in here and done great things for us." Kleister nailed a 22-yard field goal with 31 seconds left in the third quarter providing all the scoring Friday as Burke Catholic edged Section 1's Tuckahoe in a Class D regional final at Lakeland High School "As much as I would've liked for this game to be decided in beautiful conditions we know that we're built to play in any weather," Eagles coach Aaron Hasbrouck said of playing in the lowest-scoring football game in state tournament history "These guys handled the situation well and got the job done The game was scheduled to be hosted by Arlington High School but the weather in Dutchess County forced a school closure which led to Section 1 switching the venue The teams got word of the change in the afternoon and which won its first regional final since 2018 advances to face Greenwich or Moriah in a state semifinal next Friday The Eagles were dominated in this round by Haldane last year that loss devastating the group and serving as a motivational source for the returning players "This win means so much to us," said Cushing a center who is part of an offensive line that returned four starters but the seniors who didn't get to experience this last year." Burke drove 64 yards late in the third quarter to set up the field goal A key play in that sequence was Timmy Brogan's 19-yard completion to Michael Benzinger that converted a fourth down and brought the Eagles to the 4 "I thought in a game like this that one big play or a bold decision might be the difference," Hasbrouck said of the fourth-down pass the Eagles opted for the field goal and put their faith in the moonlighting center back "It felt amazing after the kick went through," said Kleister really glad I was able to come through for these guys." brought a necessary physicality to the offensive line which cleared paths for some significant runs in the second half A highlight was Josh Fiorello’s 12-yard run on their opening drive of the third quarter when the back was corralled after a short gain but kept his balance and his line pushed the pile an additional nine yards “set the tone and gave us a little momentum.” Defensive backs Liam Gralton and Justin Mazzie and linebackers Danny Benzinger and Aiden Owen led a defense that forced two turnovers on downs and allowed Tuckahoe to reach the red zone only once Tuckahoe twice forced turnovers in the first half to keep it scoreless Bailey Worsely got a strip sack and recovered the fumble at the 19 as Brogan was attempting to spike the ball in the waning seconds of the first half Declan Connolly also recovered a fumble for the Tigers (6-4) but I didn’t think it would be three,” Hasbrouck said and Chris rewarded us for our trust in him 2025 at 1:44 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Tuckahoe Theater Works presents their spring mainstage musical production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF this upcoming weekend March 13th (Karin Shook Photography/Tuckahoe Union Free School District)TUCKAHOE with a message that resonates as much today as when it premiered on Broadway From the Tuckahoe Union Free School District Tuckahoe Theater Works presents their spring mainstage musical production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF this upcoming weekend March 13th This classic Broadway golden-age musical graces the stage at Tuckahoe HS for one weekend only Featuring a talented cast of 39 Middle and High School students 14 stage crew members and a live orchestra of 19 talented musicians students are thrilled to present this classic show to their local community Music by Jerry Bock and Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick the original Broadway production won 9 TONY Awards at its debut in 1964 and was originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins Set in the fictional village of Anatevka in 1905 With the help and support of his strong Jewish Community Tevye tries to protect his daughters and teach them traditional values in the face of social change and growing anti-semitism in Czarist Russia SUNSET," "IF I WERE A RICH MAN" and "MATCHMAKER" this will be a production that you will not want to miss The Production is Produced by Charles duChateau and Richard F Vocal and Music Direction by Charles duChateau and Choreography Reproduced and Reimagined by Jason Summers The company includes Santiago Ortega-Brown as Tevye The rest of the ensemble includes Julia Holliday The Production also features Stage Manager Erica Collabella Props Masters Elizabeth Gjelaj and Victoria Gjelaj FIDDLER ON THE ROOF also features Lighting Design by Silent G Productions: Andrew Gmoser,.

Saturday Albertus Magnus faces Section 6 Lancaster in a Class AAA semifinal Related: NYSPHSAA boys basketball semifinals: Live updates Here's the semifinal schedule for this week TROY — For the first two minutes and nine seconds of Albertus Magnus' state Class AAA semifinal Saturday against Section 6 Lancaster led by star junior Julia Scott and freshman Sara Nezaj romped past Lancaster 67-33 at Hudson Valley Community College will advance to play Section 3 Liverpool Sunday at HVCC for the state Class AAA championship which ended with Maddy Zuppe's bucket off a Nezaj feed two minutes and 10 seconds into the game Nezaj's fast-break score put the Falcons up 9-0 with 4:24 left in the quarter Lancaster's Mississippi State-bound senior Madison Francis ended the Legends' drought with a basket with 3:17 to play in the quarter following a Riley Harold 3-pointer and another Nezaj fast-break score off a Zuppe steal and feed who has seemed to improve game after game through Magnus' playoff run who has long drawn the attention of Division I college scouts who scored half of Magnus' opening-quarter points two assists and three steals despite spending some time on the bench in foul trouble Lancaster coach Jayson Jaskier said he believes Magnus is the top team in the state among those playing in public school leagues Jaskier praised Scott's inside play and said Magnus' ability to score in transition was a key to the Falcons' win It was unfortunate we were playing catch-up," Jaskier said who was blocked once by Francis but also intercepted one of her passes and defended well down low against her Scott noted Magnus played Liverpool in summer league play last year and won "We have to play aggressive and rebound better," said Nezaj referring to Magnus being out-rebounded by Lancaster 46-36 Of potentially winning another state championship — this one in the state's class for its largest schools — Scott said we are very dominant and it would show how well we work together with each other which beat Section 8 Syosset 65-56 in the other AAA semifinal no one scores in the first two minutes of the quarter Maddy Zuppe ends that with a layup off a Sara Nezaj feed with 5:50 left in the quarter Lancaster is having a hard time with the Falcon press Falcons only hit one 3 but have scored off a few fast breaks after defensive rebounds Second quarterRiley Harold punctuates a big second quarter by the Falcons by draining a 3-pointer at the buzzer Sara Nezaj is having an incredible game for Magnus She has been a force on defense and keeps firing and hitting shots She hit a 3 after Madison Francis got inside for a bucket Magnus isn't going to totally stop Francis who has turned her game up a notch from the early going but it has limited her to nine points and against a player bound for Mississippi State Lancaster has only three points from the rest of its lineup She is carrying her team and has a couple of offensive rebounds and put-backs She also blocked Scott but Scott later intercepted a Francis pass Only concern for Magnus is Nezaj has four fouls but it would take a mega-meltdown for Magnus to lose this game Ayla Willson drains one to give the Falcons a 65-32 lead with 3:27 to play Bonaventure-bound Ardsley senior fouled out of Friday's Class A state semifinal but she was still confident the Panthers would win Ardsley beat Williamsville South 47-35 to advance to Saturday's state championship game against Wantagh from Long Island The Panthers were paced by Corluka's game-high 24 points and 12 rebounds and Leah Burriss' 10 points and nine boards When Corluka exited against Williamsville South Turning pointWith Ardsley only up 21-19 at halftime Williamsville had recorded the last five points of the second quarter but Corluka said the team's mindset was She might have done that but as the third quarter opened Holy Cross-commit Kimora Berry scored off a beautiful spin move after grabbing an offensive rebound and then Corluka scored inside and Burriss put in a bucket to expand the Panther lead to 35-25 after three quarters Despite Berry picking up her fourth foul in the third and other Billies in foul trouble at 35-30 on a Nicole Miller 3-pointer with 5:34 left Paley immediately found Corluka underneath for a score to expand the Panthers' lead to seven and then Corluka grabbed a huge offensive rebound and scored to make it 39-30 with 4:20 left The win was sealed when Burriss crashed the offensive boards was fouled and hit both free throws to put Ardsley up 44-33 with 1:25 left and then Madison Bortstein grabbed a defensive rebound it would go to Ardsley's starting five (plus Lily Tiernan They kept alive the Panthers' impressive playoff streak of keeping opponents to fewer than 40 points Other top scorersArdsley's senior point guard had nine points and six rebounds and Bortstein had four points and five rebounds Young had seven and Miller had six for the Billies which hit only four of 22 3-point tries (Ardsley was actually worse at 1-for-11) But she also thought fouls played a role in the outcome Williamsville South was whistled for 23 and Ardsley for 13 "We couldn't play our best defense," she said noting it kept playing hard "because we didn't want to go home." Corluka liked Joie Levy's defensive efforts calling her Ardsley's "most energetic defender." who said her team takes a lot of pride in its defense said she wasn't worried when Corluka fouled out because Tiernan is "incredibly capable" and she knew she'd "defend well." Looking forward to playing in Saturday's championship Corluka noted she'd watched Section 8 Wantagh turn the tables on Albany Academy in the fourth quarter of the other Class A semifinal Wantagh had trailed 44-29 after three quarters then scored 22 straight points to start the fourth and ended up winning 58-51 The lesson learned was ,"It's not over until the buzzer," Corluka said explaining she thought Albany Academy had "let its foot off the gas." In pursuing Ardsley's first ever girls basketball state title The Ardsley-Wantagh championship game is scheduled to tip off at Hudson Valley Community College at 7:45 p.m First quarterWilliamsville South broke out on top 6-0 on two 3s by senior Jayla Young Joie Levy fed Iva Corluka inside and Corluka was fouled and hit her two shots to give Ardsley its first lead at 11-10 Joie Levy has been playing like someone who won't be satisfied without a state championship And she aggressively picked the pocket of the talented Kimora Berry But that attitude seems to belong to her entire team Williamsville South cold shooting halfway through quarter After an offensive rebound (Ardsley's second straight) Iva Corluka is fouled and drains two shots to put the Panthers up 19-12 She is on the bench when Corluka grabs ball off own miss and scores to put the Panthers up 21-14 with about 2:30 left in the quarter Dylan Paley records nice block for Ardsley but Nicole Miller drains 3 for the Billies and Hannah Meetze drives inside to cut the Panther lead to 21-19 Ardsley would have a bigger cushion but has missed six foul shots -- well five with one negated by a step over the foul stripe Ardsley will look to improve from the foul line and also 3-point range But Iva Corluka has been huge inside for the Panthers She led all scorers with 10 points at the half and led everyone in rebounds with six And Corluka opens the second half with two buckets igniting Panther crowd with 6:12 left in quarter Burriss block leads to Joie Levy coast-to-coast score to put Ardsley up 29-21 with 4:30 left in the quarter Williamsville South has a couple of key kids with four fouls Kimora Berry great move inside to cut Panther lead to 35-27 But Corluka inside to expand Ardsley lead to 37-30 with little more than five minutes left in quarter Corluka huge offensive rebound and score puts Ardsley up 39-30 with 4:20 left Three players have four fouls for the Billies Williamsville is trying to

state semifinal game against Section 6 Frewsburg Frewsburg converted two offensive rebounds into baskets That was a theme of Thursday night's game at Hudson Valley Community College — that and Frewsburg's amazing 3-point shooting The Bears hit six 3-pointers in just the first quarter and drained 12 overall — many following offensive rebounds — as they ended Tuckahoe's season which will play Section 2 Stillwater for the state Class C title Friday jumped out to an 8-0 lead before Cara Doherty scored for the Tigers off an offensive rebound with 4:52 left in the first quarter which finished with four players scoring in double figures threatened to run away with the game early when Teghan Trocki drained a 3 to up the Bears lead to 13-2 with 4:05 still left in the first quarter using its speed for some inside hoops to cut the Frewsburg lead to 16-13 But then Jadyn Trocki hit a 3-pointer as the buzzer sounded to end the quarter And that shot proved a sign of things to come Tuckahoe stepped up its game but early in the second quarter Jadyn Trocki answered two Chloe Angello two-point buckets with two 3s Angello buried her own 3 late in the quarter to cut the Frewsburg lead to 30-22 Frewsburg had a 37-24 advantage with its last buckets being a Teghan Trocki 3 and a Taytum Jimerson inside score And with the Bears continuing to hit their 3s (despite cooling down in the fourth quarter they put the game away in the third quarter who had three 3s and a game-high 19 points Taytum Jimerson had nine points and 10 assists One was a fantastic feed inside to her sister which put the Bears up 44-28 with 5:44 left in the third quarter Doherty had a team-high 13 points and had a game-high 15 rebounds — eight of them coming on the offensive boards Juliana Manginelli had seven and Ava Rogliano had five for Tuckahoe "I felt we were all on fire," Jadyn Trocki It built momentum," she added of the Bears' 8-0 start to the game saying it was the best 3-point-shooting team the Tigers had faced The loss was the second straight in the state semifinals for Tuckahoe but Doherty seemed more resolved than upset But I think it builds character that I'll bring next year," she said Tuckahoe coach Silvio DiSalvatore loved Doherty's play on the boards guessing about half Frewsburg's 3s followed offensive rebounds and DiSalvatore pointed to that as the difference in the game "We wanted to get to (the state final on) Friday But everyone in that locker room knows there's another year," he said 8-0 start before Cara Doherty got Tuckahoe on the board Jadyn Trocki drained two 3s after a Chloe Angello score for Tuckahoe Tuckahoe is having trouble with Frewsburg outside game Teghan Trocki had two 3s in the second quarter Grace Kern opened the second-half scoring with a 3-ponter for Tuckahoe to cut the Frewsburg lead to 10 But Frewsburg continued to drain 3s and Taytum Jimerson had an outstanding feed inside to Ava Jimerson for a bucket But it's the Bears' outside game that's crushing the Tigers And while Cara Doherty is doing a good job on the boards Jadyn Trocki 3 puts Frewsburg up 56-38 with 35 seconds left in quarter Bears were finally missing from 3-point land at the beginning of fourth quarter but still had a healthy lead And then it became healthier as Ava Jimerson drained a 3 from the top of the key to expand Frewsburg's lead to 62-43 with 4:50 to play Ava Jimerson scored inside on feed from Abery Harvey to make it 64-45 for the Bears with under three minutes left Tuckahoe still hustling but Frewsburg is the better team tonight Hustling steal by Chloe

Follow her on Twitter at @HaggertyNancy A new “Super” Wawa store for Williamstown under development at the busy intersection of Rt 322 and Tuckahoe Road has finally reached the stage where the building structure is going up I first reported on plans for this store when land clearing started in January of this year, and provided an update in April as part of a large Wawa construction update on several developments And I know readers will ask about an update for the Fries Mill Road intersection rebuild as well as the Monroe Township approved Heritages convenience store It is already written as I had planned to include it in this article but the combined commentary was just getting too long so I decided to split the articles (And I wonder if my coverage last August 2023 on the Fries Mill Road intersection had some impact for the year-long halt on the intersection project A new Super Wawa with fuel pumps is under construction at the intersection of Route 322/Glassboro Road and Tuckahoe Road In my visit at the end of last week the steel frame of the convenience store building is standing just the initial cinderblock foundation was set Crews are also working in front of the store where six fuel pumps will be developed working on the underground foundation and connector pipes to the fuel storage tanks from this point out I would expect we see fast and consistent development at the site Wawa uses two different sets of contractors… a local property development team secures the property and approvals and also does the initial site preparation including grading and much of the underground utility work Once that is completed there can be several months of delay in queuing up the second contractor who then develops the building and gas pumps The Williamstown Wawa has hit that “second contractor” phase so we should see consistent and fast progress from this point forward This is a replacement store for an existing Wawa located at the same intersection positioned catty-corner from this new development I first wrote about plans for this store in January of this year when the lot was being cleared but this project was actually approved back in 2019… taking five years from Township approval before the first trucks were able to appear at the site The development calls for a 5,051 square foot Wawa convenience store with fuel pumps The property is a three acre parcel of land on the southwest corner of the intersection This new tax lot was actually split up from a larger 9 acre lot   Planning Board minutes from 2019 state the other 6 acres feature significant wetlands and likely would not support additional development the store design appears to be a popular size and configuration for new Wawa developments…  as a recently opened Penns Grove store as well as an Oaklyn location which opened last year are the same size.  A recently opened Logan Township store was about 10% larger This new Williamstown Wawa will feature 6 fueling pumps in front While the Penns Grove location is the exact same store size it offers a “four by two” fueling pump configuration supporting eight pumps and 16 filling positions but store employees say they

daughter but it certainly is also applicable to her soccer team right now after winning its section for the first time since 2007 and continuing to flourish with a roster full of fledglings Burke Catholic has become Section 9’s postseason Cinderella Worth the wait: Haines' double OT goal delivers Burke Catholic a Section 9 title Breakthrough: Tuckahoe wins first Section 1 championship since 2002 “To be honest,” sophomore Inga Haines said so I didn’t come into the season expecting it.” The Eagles have exceeded even their own expectations and Haines scored two second-half goals and the defense was superb on Saturday leading Burke Catholic in a 2-0 win over Section 1’s Tuckahoe in the Class C regional final That victory clinched for the Eagles a long-awaited berth to the state final four so you think maybe it could happen for us in another couple years,” midfielder Kate Cuebas said "But to have this kind of run and work this well as a team Burke Catholic (14-3) will face Section 5’s Byron-Bergen in a state semifinal next Saturday “We’ve had some games where the teamwork has been incredible and we’ve gotten a lot of goals and that let me know that we could do something special,” junior Gabriella Filosa said “There were teams we lost to last year that we’ve beaten or were competitive with this year Tuckahoe enjoyed an improbable run of its own edging defending champion North Salem to win its first Section 1 title since 2002 They did that with a roster comprised almost entirely of underclassmen including 12 players who are freshmen or younger We’ll be back,’” Tigers coach Stephanie Martino said to her team after the loss “This season was a great accomplishment for our school and we’re a young team with a lot of eighth and ninth graders who’ll only be getting better.” Filosa and Cuebas anchored a midfield that controlled possession and the defense seldom allowed quality chances but Cuebas deflected a shot toward the right post and Filosa cleared it so defense was our focus coming in and they did a great job,” Eagles coach Sara Fandl said but we have the best goalie in the state.” Burke threatened several times in the first half but a few missed shots and a solid defense kept them off the board Tuckahoe’s McKenna Gerald disrupted a fast break in the 15th minute and forced a turnover Chloe Angello made eight saves for the Tigers (13-4) Haines broke through five minutes into the second half driving up the middle of the field and drifting toward the right post before sending a shot into the far corner maneuvering through defenders from the right corner and dribbling toward the wing before lining a shot into the left a young fairy godmother who has whipped up some postseason magic She also scored the winner in double overtime of

The Section 1 Class C girls soccer title belongs to Tuckahoe after a 2-1 win over defending champion North Salem on Saturday at Arlington High School Tuckahoe (13-3) held on to its lead with a calculated team effort on defense not allowing many clear looks at the goal to get to backup keeper Chloe Angello who was forced into service after an injury to starter Brianna Hartman with 11:40 left in the first half Angello made a point blank save off a shot by Samantha Yoel with 17 minutes left "We just had to stay composed," said Tuckahoe's Ava Rogliano "We had to work together and we couldn't fall apart even though our goalie was hurt We had to keep playing and we had to have trust in each other Poised defense from Tuckahoe early in the first half led to accurate passes and a pair of goals Tuckahoe sophomore Camilla Massucci scored in the ninth minute for Tuckahoe thanks to sharp playmaking in front of the net North Salem answered back with a goal in the 21st minute as freshman Sienna Paldin took advantage of a Tuckahoe breakdown and found herself one on one with goalie Brianna Hartman "This means everything to me," said Tuckahoe coach Stephanie Martino who played on Tuckahoe's last Section 1 title team "I've been coaching here for 15 years and this is one of the best teams I've ever coached at Tuckahoe Tuckahoe receives a bye to the state Class C regional final Nov against the Section 9 champion at Wallkill High School Williamstown is the latest Super Wawa location to open in South Jersey with the Grand Opening celebration taking place last Thursday at the intersection of Glassboro Rd (Route 322) and Tuckahoe Road While I was unable to attend the festivities, the official Monroe Township Facebook page recapped the morning’s events which featured elected officials including Mayor Wolfe For each opening Wawa conducts a fun “Hoagies for Heroes” event and for Williamstown the Fire Company and Police Departments battled each other in a fun hoagie building competition… Congrats to Williamstown Fire for bringing home the trophy I stopped over this weekend to check out the new location… it’s still the familiar Super Wawa design that we’re familiar with in New Jersey but with each location I see they continue to evolve the interior design further always looking to enhance customer convenience This Wawa was approved back in 2019… I’ve written about it several times in the last year going back to January of 2024.  A month ago I was the first to announce the opening date which was April 10th Wawa is on a many-year effort to convert their smaller legacy stores into the larger Super Wawa properties This location replaces an older legacy store which is caddy-corner on the intersection.  As is the normal operating process when replacing a Wawa store that location immediately closed with the new opening is being emptied… and it will likely be offered up for sale to some other retailer the building exterior and pump area seems very consistent with the New Jersey branding To fit within the large property the gas pumps are aligned in one straight row with six different stations Inside there are some changes to the store, some of which were introduced with a recent store remodel in Bellmawr but it seems they’ve further evolved the design One key change from the original Super Wawa designs is for years the deli food prep area pushed out into the store such as on Sicklerville Road in Gloucester Township The newer design for this Williamstown Wawa features a smaller store interior food prep area in the open store space but includes much more behind-the-scenes cooking areas which is better suited for some of their products such as the pizza ovens Additionally with the growth in pickup and delivery orders this location features a cubby-hole rack attached to the side of the food prep area where workers can easily place the orders for customers to grab Directly next to the food prep area is the soft drink space A change from the Bellmawr remodel is this Williamstown location maintains the much larger coffee space more in line with what we’re familiar with from Wawa… it is connected to the main food prep area so it makes it easy for the team to manage the coffee urns Williamstown gets the more traditional insulated thermos style coffee urns not the digital ones that we’ve seen in Bellmawr and Sicklerville I will tell you that this coffee situation in Williamstown is better than what they did in Bellmawr remodel…  Bellmawr’s coffee area is just a bit too crowded for the morning commuters Design aspects that are very familiar are the placement of the refrigerator units and product shelves to the right A more open area is in the middle with a very prominent FRESH grab-n-go refrigerator section immediately as you enter the stores the cash registers are off to the front left corner Wawa Williamstown Store #8437 (Now Open!)909 Glassboro RdWilliamstown Wawa Website Grocery Outlet Deptford Sets June Opening Date
