A new Wawa convenience store and gas station is set to open Thursday morning at the Five-Points intersection in Washington Township NJ. The Grand Opening celebration starts at 8:00am and the ribbon cutting set for 8:30am.

Directly next to the Wawa, a brand new Burger King restaurant has also been developed which also looks ready to go, but the BK is waiting for final approvals before they start flame-broiling burgers.

I actually had a chance today to walk through the Burger King restaurant! I’ll share a few photos in a second but let’s focus on Wawa first!

While they are operating as separate businesses, both Wawa and Burger King share the same roadway access points, which lead into connected parking areas.

Also, as part of the opening of the new “Sewell” Wawa, unfortunately a classic Wawa will be closing… located about 1.5 miles away in Deptford; Route 41 and County House Road. This is extra sad to me because that is my neighborhood Wawa!

Wawa Sewell – Washington Township

Wawa is a large convenience store and gas station brand which is on a significant growth plan.. both in store density in existing areas, as well as expanding into new regions.

Based in the Philadelphia area, their signature food item is the hoagie.. but Wawa is constantly experimenting with new food offerings, including chicken sandwiches, burgers and pizza!

The new Washington Township Wawa is at the Five-Points intersection where Route 47, Route 41, Egg Harbor Road… and Blackwood-Barnsboro Road all meet.

Wawa realizes that a new store is a big exciting moment for the community, so they will be celebrating the opening with a morning of fun activities and free coffee!

The first 100 customers at 8:00 AM will grab a free Wawa T-shirt! (Note: I’ve been to these openings before and people really do line up early!)

Free coffee will be available for all attendees.

And one of their signature Grand Opening community events is the “Hoagies for Heroes” competition where two local emergency services teams compete against each other in a fun hoagie making experience! Wawa makes donations to associated charities.

And of course Wally Goose will be on hand, as well as members of the Wawa management team and local Washington Township officials.

This new Wawa sits along Egg Harbor Road, but right up into the Five-Points intersection.

Access into the Wawa property is front and back of the building… from Egg Harbor Road (Northbound only) and then also from the rear/side of the property utilizing the recently relocated Blackwood-Barnsboro Rd.

The Blackwood-Barnsboro road entrance has the benefit of a traffic signal at Egg Harbor Road which manages safe access to customers from all directions.

Interestingly enough my very first article on this Wawa was exactly five years to today… November 29th 2018!

At the time it wasn’t even really an official announcement… but I had tracked down some real estate marketing documents showing the proposed Wawa as well as a plot of land directly next to the convenience store. Back in 2018 the developer was looking for the second tenant (to join Wawa)… which we know today is Burger King.

if you follow along at the 42Freeway Facebook page, you’re well aware that this Wawa has been eagerly waited by the community for a long time… and at times people thought it just wasn’t coming!

But after covering a dozen or more of these new “Super” Wawas I can share that this project was a little more challenging than others.

First off, the core of this construction timeframe landed right in the middle of a global pandemic.

Additionally, the site preparation for this Wawa is likely one of the most challenging in South Jersey.

Blackwood-Barnsboro Road was literally relocated before the Wawa could be built. The old roadway route… literally goes right through the store!

So let me be clear… there are legit traffic management reasons for moving Blackwood-Barnsboro roadway connection point further back away from the intersection (on Egg Harbor Road).

Mainly, previously traffic at the Five-Points intersection would almost always back up from the light and with the old location of Blackwood-Barnsboro so close… the roadway would be blocked! Plus there was no traffic signal for Blackwood-Barnsboro.

With the new location of Blackwoods-Barnsboro Road being almost 500 feet further back from the intersection, it gives a lot more room for cars waiting at the main intersection traffic signal, as well as Blackwood-Barnsboro gains a traffic signal at Egg Harbor Road.

When you factor in all the variety of extended approvals from the township, County and State levels… you start realizing that a lot more coordination and approvals went into the this project than normal.

An in that mix of the roadway relocation, a larger contiguous plot of land was developed… enabling the development of Wawa and Burger King.

The new Wawa at Five Points Sewell Washington Township opens on November 30th

Facebook Event

Burger King Five-Points Washington Township

The new plot of land that was created by the relocation of Blackwood-Barnsboro road actually has room for two commercial businesses…. Wawa was first to jump in, and then at a later date Burger King signed on to share the extended plot with them.

The new Burger King is not open yet but it appears that construction is done, and unofficially I’ve been told they are waiting on final approvals which they expect to be only a few weeks away.

I stopped over today at the Burger to check out the new building and caught up with a member of the Burger King franchise team

It’s my understanding that this new Burger King is a relatively newer design model for the flame broiled burger chain.

It features a higher 14-foot high ceiling, where that space was used to install large glass panels to provide and open view into the restaurant from outside, as well as a more dramatic dining experience for customers.

It’s a modern design restaurant with some aspects of an urban feel to it.

As mentioned, at this point an opening date has not been locked in

Small-Business Incubator Park Approved For Delsea Drive Washington Twp.

A 32,000 square foot “’small-business incubator park” office/warehouse development has been approved for Delsea Drive in Washington Township.The project will consist of two matching commercial buildings each split into four units of 4,000 square feet.Each unit will also support a 1,000 square foot office within the 4,000 square feet of space.

A 32,000 square foot “’small-business incubator park” office/warehouse development has been approved for Delsea Drive in Washington Township.

The project will consist of two matching commercial buildings each split into four units of 4,000 square feet.

Each unit will also support a 1,000 square foot office within the 4,000 square feet of space. That being said the units are designed as “flex” space and likely can be tailored to meet the needs of individual tenants.

This project is being developed by “252 Delsea Associates” which consists of Broker-Developers Brandon Hedenberg, Eric Martorano and Francesco Pullella.

They are teaming up to create what they call a ‘small-business incubator park” in Washington Twp, NJ.

The group states that small-businesses are the backbone of South Jersey; and there is currently a huge shortage of space for these users to lease in Gloucester County.

They want to make it clear that this is not going to be another warehouse project; there will be no semi-trucks/tractor-trailers going in/out of this small business park.

This project will be used by start-ups and small businesses, contractors, e-commerce companies, technology and creative firms, artists and artisans, etc.

It’s a perfect situation for a smaller growing business, say a contractor or plumber who started out on their own working from their home… and have reached a point of growth where they need to move into a larger more dedicated commercial space.

This is the second project approved for this stretch of Delsea Drive, this fall. Back in September, Bella Vista mixed-use residential and retail development was approved for the corner of Delsea and County House. That project is also targeting small-business owners to take over first floor retail spaces.

252 Delsea Associates

The property is located on Delsea Drive, almost a mile south of the Five Points intersection.

It is immediately South of existing commercial business, including the Enterprise Court Business Park. To the immediate South of the there are 4 or 5 residential homes developed off of one street, but it seems this area of Delsea along the roadway leans more towards commercial projects.

Today the lot for the the small business park is wooded, and a portion of it would be cleared for the development.

As mentioned the project consists of two commercial buildings, each totaling 16,000 sq feet.

The buildings will be positioned side by side with individual units’ Office and Garage entrances facing-in towards each building. With the positioning of the buildings in line with Delsea Drive, they will act as their own visual buffer and cars passing by won’t really see the entrances and garage doors of the individual units in the complex.

Entrance to the complex will be on the southern end of the development.

The plan also accounts for three separate water management basins.

N.J. teacher charged with child porn distribution

Authorities have charged a New Jersey high school teacher with possession and distribution of child pornography.

Investigators with the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office received a tip via the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding online child porn distribution via the Kik messaging app and were able to trace video uploads to an IP address belonging to Joseph C. Dalessandro, 37, of Washington Township, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed in the case and a statement issued by the prosecutor’s office.

Dalessandro is employed as a teacher at Haddon Heights Junior/Senior High School in Camden County, the district confirmed.

His charges make no reference to Dalessandro’s role as a teacher.

Numerous child sex abuse materials were found on Dalessandro’s phone during a search of his residence on Thursday, officials stated.

He was charged Thursday with second-degree endangering – possession of child pornography, second-degree endangering – distribution of child pornography and third-degree possession of child pornography.

Court records did not list an attorney for Dalessandro as of Friday afternoon.

Without naming Dalessandro, the Haddon Heights School District sent a message to families on Thursday stating it was cooperating with Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office in a case involving a high school staff member.

“The staff member has been placed on a leave of absence, is not permitted to contact students and their family members, and is not permitted on district property,” Superintendent Carla E. Bittner said in the message. “At this time, we are not able to share additional information but can assure you that we are treating this matter with the utmost importance.”

In response to emailed questions from New Jersey Advance Media on Friday, Bittner said there is no known connection between Dalessandro’s charges and his role in the district.

“Currently, there is no indication that the district, any school students or additional staff members were involved,” she wrote.

His district contact page describes Dalessandro as a science teacher.

Bittner urged parents to contact their child’s counselor if they are struggling as more information about the case becomes public.

“We continue to be dedicated to providing a safe and enriching learning environment for our students and staff, and it is our pleasure to be of support in any way we can,” she wrote in the Thursday message.

Dalessandro was placed in the Salem County Correctional Facility pending court hearings.

TRENTON - A state board has revoked the credentials of a former Washington Township teacher who made graphic online comments about child sexual abuse.

The educator, Caleb J. Betton, acknowledged he had described engaging in physical and sexual acts against very young children, according to the the State Board of Examiners.

But Betton also asserted he had not actually performed the acts described in a Reddit conversation, the board said.

And while law enforcement officers reported the comments to the school district and the state Department of Children and Families, Betton was never charged with wrongdoing.

Teachers had faced tenure chargesTwo Camden educators are barred from ever teaching again. Here's why

Betton joined the district in September 2019 as a science teacher at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, according to the district's website.

He resigned from the non-tenured position in March 2020, after the district learned of the Reddit conversation from the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and the federal Department of Homeland Security.

"To our knowledge, there was absolutely no inappropriate behavior related to our students," said Eric Hibbs, superintendent of the Washington Township district.

He said the district encourages anyone with allegations about Betton to contact law enforcement authorities.

What did Caleb Betton say in a Reddit chat?

In the chat, Betton claimed to have abused very young children while babysitting and while traveling abroad. He also described engaging in a sex act during a class and Skyping it, the board's decision said.

But the DCF in April 2020 determined it could not identify any victims. The agency also determined "no students were exposed to anything of a concerning nature," the decision added.

It noted Betton told the board "he did not care if he kept his teaching credentials, as he did not intend to use them."

It said the former teacher did not respond to offers to submit written arguments or to appear in person to challenge disciplinary action.

The board found Betton's comments on their own provided "just cause to act against his certificates" as a reading specialist and a teacher of elementary grades K-6.

"Betton’s conduct in engaging in a sexually explicit chat regarding children on Reddit indicates a serious lapse in judgment," the board's decision said.

"The fact that the acts detailed in the chat did not actually occur does not prohibit the board from taking action.," it added.

The decision called revocation of Betton's certificates "the appropriate response to his breach."

Betton, who could not be reached for comment, can appeal the Sept. 21 decision to the state's education commissioner.

Why are you seeking to run for school board?

Our school district and teachers are incredible, but I have concerns about what is happening at the state level. We can’t be a rubber stamp for Trenton. I am 100% for parental rights, no matter the circumstances. We always need to encourage the teacher-student-parent role. I believe in keeping politics out of school and maintaining fiscal responsibility. Given my background and deep understanding of our school issues, I believe I am the perfect fit.

What, according to you, is the biggest issue facing the school district currently? How do you plan to tackle it?

From an education standpoint, I am concerned about our test scores as it relates to student progress. For example, our middle school test score ranking is quite well, but our progress compared to neighboring districts is trending below average. I think it is important to focus on the fundamentals of education and our core classes.

We should be engaged with the teachers about what is working well, and what isn’t. This conversation should also expand to other higher-ranking schools in our area and keep an open dialogue on what has been successful for them.

From a fiscal standpoint, we have a current year budget of ~$46.4mm we have to maintain. Meanwhile, our state aid has been progressively cut in the last six years by over 50 percent.

Before thinking about cuts, my running mates and I want to find additional revenue streams for our district and be conservative on our bottom line while protecting our great teachers financially. We will keep the budget under the two percent increase cap and maintain our promise of fiscal responsibility.

What special qualifications do you bring to help meet the challenge?

I have been attending almost every board of education meeting for the past 3+ years, often speaking during public comment. I know how it operates and the issues our district faces. As a private credit investment analyst, I can leverage my financial modeling background to help keep us fiscally responsible.

Lastly, I know what it is like to walk the halls of these schools as a student and now as a father. Long Valley is a place my wife and I have called home for 34 years and I will always do what is right for the student, teacher, parent, and taxpayer.

What else would you like to share about yourself or your campaign?

Jennifer Ryan, Isabel Vieira, and I are running on the “Excellence In Education” ticket. Please visit our website at www.WTBOE23.com to learn a lot more about our campaign. Vote 4-5-6 on November 7th!
