Cressman led off the bottom of the seventh with a triple and scored the winning run on a walk-off single by Adam Satanoff. Cressman also hurled seven strong innings, surrendering three runs with seven strikeouts, as top-seeded Pitman edged No. 8 Riverside, 4-3, in a South Jersey Group I quarterfinal.

A public notice signed by Munciipal Clerk Kain explaining this bizarre scenario was posted today on the City’s website. A copy of it appears below.

1. Growth of the Community: More and better services for an increased population.

2. Frustration with existing government: the lack of responsiveness to citizens needs.

3. Perceived lack of representation: People feel they are not being represented adequately.

4. Political Control: Lastly, but certainly not least is what we are presently experiencing in Gloucester. I quote, \”The desire by political factions which are \”out\” of office to use a change of government campaign to enhance their position. The history of change in New Jersey communities is marked by frequent demands for municipal reorganization by the \”outs\” since major change in charter results in all municipal offices being vacated and new elections being held.\” (sound familiar?)

The council consists of 5, 7, or 9 members elected by the public. One of the councilors — chosen either by at-large election or by a vote among the councilors — serves as the mayor, who is merely the head of council and has no special privileges such as veto power. The council hires a manager, who serves as the chief executive and administrative official. The manager prepares the budget, appoints and removes department heads, and attends council meetings, but does not have a vote.

It is obvious that some people have way too much time on their hands.
