Galloway Township News has obtained through an Open Public Records Request to the Township Clerk, photographs taken by Galloway Police and Township Officials that forced the shut down of AJ's Cafe' on the Lake.

On Friday September 29, 2017 at 12:08 p.m., the Galloway Township Police Department responded to AJ’s Café on the Lake, for an unrelated incident when they observed numerous animals loose inside the restaurant, specifically the kitchen and food preparatory area. 

According to the Galloway Current, co-owner Jacob Cohen denied the allegations that "animals were loose or in the kitchen." Cohen further stated to the Galloway Current that the three pet birds "visited" and "were kept in cages" including the stray cat.
According to Township Officials numerous animals to include three (3) exotic birds and a cat were gathered and turned over to a friend for safe keeping and care-taking while the restaurant was closed up and posted by both Township Code Officials and the County Health Department. 

Galloway Police Chief Donna Higbee stated photographs and other evidence substantiate the charges.


Galloway Township News has obtained the photographs and a response from the Township that no mercantile license has ever been issued to AJ's for either 2015, 2016 or 2017. 

Photographs released by the Township appear to show at least two of the exotic birds enjoying a strawberry on a stack of restaurant plates and the stray cat hanging out in a box on a freezer next to canned foods in the pantry/kitchen area.  A litter box also appears in the pictures below a wash sink in the restaurant area.

According to Township documents, Jacob Cohen did submit an application for a mercantile license on May 25, 2017; however, that application is still pending as the Township Fire Official and Construction Official have not approved the license to be issued.

The restaurant was found to be operating without a Township approved mercantile license and was immediately shut down and the County Board of Health was contacted to respond. 

Staff and patrons were sent home and the restaurant owner has been charged accordingly by the Police Department. 

This location will be closed to the public until further notice as it has been deemed unsanitary and an unsafe structure for human occupancy.

Galloway Township Helps Promote Annual “Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day”

Galloway --   Motorists in New Jersey and throughout the nation are asked to join a day-long effort on October 10, 2017, designed to increase awareness about safe driving behaviors and keep the State’s roadways fatality free for one-day. 

Known as Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day, the national initiative was designed to unite the country in moving toward zero fatalities for one full day by encouraging motorists to obey all traffic laws, including buckling up, every ride; driving the posted speed limit; avoiding distractions while driving; and always being safe and sober behind the wheel. Our goal is to experience a day when all roadway users are extra vigilant and there are no fatalities on our roadways. 

 To support this effort, the Galloway Township Police Department will increase patrols to target aggressive driving and deploy officers to disperse educational materials to motorists about safe driving.
Last year in New Jersey, 603 individuals lost their lives in motor vehicle-related crashes, up from 562 in 2015.  Distracted driving fatalities have increased at an alarming rate over the last 4 years.  In 2013 there were 58 fatalities on the State’s roadways in which distracted driving was a major contributing factor. That number ballooned to 115 fatalities in 2016, or 19% of all traffic deaths.  To help battle this growing problem, the State’s #77 alert system is now used to report all forms of dangerous driving, from those operating a vehicle while looking at a cell phone to those driving while impaired.
Statewide law enforcement agencies will be utilizing their variable message boards and conducting educational activities to raise public awareness regarding this issue during the week of October 3rd ending with “Brakes on Fatalities Day on October 10th. 
“Clearly, this effort will go a long way in our continuing efforts to stem the tide of tragedies that occur every day on New Jersey’s roadways,” Barber said.  “Shining the spotlight on this one day can help create a groundswell of support for good driving behaviors that can carry over throughout the year.”
“Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day not only raises awareness about the individual responsibility we have for our driving behaviors, but also engages drivers in making positive changes behind-the-wheel every day of the year,” Barber added.
Additional information on the “Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day” is available by logging on towww.brakesonfatalities.org .

Two former democratic candidates have announced their endorsement of the Republican Candidates for Galloway Council. Cliff Sudler and Bill Montag ran for office as Democrats in 2013 against Mayor Don Purdy, Frank Gargione, Robert Maldonaldo and Tim Meadows. Sudler and Montag who remain registered Democrats are currently supporting the Republican Party in their reelection efforts.

"With Mayor Don Purdy's leadership the tax rate is down, spending is under control and law enforcement personnel has increased" Sudler said. "I supported those initiatives when I ran and regardless of political party, the Mayor is getting the job done which is why I support him and the current council" Sudler said.

Galloway Township has moved in a positive direction with a pay-as-you-go capital program which has netted two (2) fire trucks totaling $1.425 million dollars, twenty-eight (28) police vehicles, over $300,000 in recreation equipment and improvements, over $1 million dollars in public works equipment, increased annual aid to the local volunteer fire departments by $25,000, hired five (5) new police officers, new law enforcement task force, and reestablishing the D.A.R.E. program, community policing and traffic safety unit. All purchases were possible with $0.00 debt. 

Other new community programs included bulk pick-up for seniors, road improvement program which included paving approximately 5 miles of roadway, a community dog park and establishing redevelopment zones which has brought new commercial businesses and over 1,000+ jobs created.

"We are endorsing the candidates that are working hard and who we believe will continue to work for the residents of Galloway Township" Sudler and Montag said in a joint statement.
