'Field of Dreams' Dedication Set for April 20

A fundraiser to benefit the handicap-accessible baseball field will be held Feb. 24.

 

Gloucester Township's "Field of Dreams" will be dedicated on Saturday, April 20, Mayor David Mayer announced last week.

"As you know we have been working on building a Field of Dreams whereby children and adults with disabilities could play baseball, play softball on a field that is specifically designed to meet their needs," Mayer said during the Feb. 11 Township Council meeting.

The field for physically and mentally disabled ballplayers will be located in Gloucester Township Community Park, in the township's Erial section.

In addition to other upgrades from the typical ball field, the Field of Dreams will include an artificial-surface infield to make it easier for those in wheelchairs and walkers to play the game.

A bowl-a-thon fundraiser to benefit the public-private partnership will be held Sunday, Feb. 24, at Brunswick Zone in Turnersville from 1 to 3 p.m. The cost is $15 per person.

Gloucester Township Rotary Club hosted a comedy show fundraiser for the Field of Dreams at Valleybrook Country Club last February.

Mayor, this is great. Children with disabilities need to play sports and meet friends. Every township should have a field of dreams. Thank you mayor and council for your hard work in getting this done.

Darren, you crossed the line. I hope and pray your children blend in with their peers. I hope your children don't come home from school crying because they are be teased about the way they talk or walk. I hope your wife doesn't sit on the couch crying because her kid is upset because he is different from everyone else. You should be thankful you don't have to worry about your kids making it on their own when you are gone. You don't have to worry if you have to put them in a home because they can't function like the rest of the world. Be thankful you don't have to stay up at night thinking if your children will make it in life. Be thankful that your kids can graduate be ause their brain functions. Be thankful you don't have to change a 15 or 25 year old diaper. Be thankful your kids can drive. Be thankful you can watch your children get married and you can have grandchildren. In closing Darren when it comes to children with disabilities don't use this site for your political agenda. When you lay your head on your pillow tonight thank god your kids are fine...I am glad they are and I mean that.

Darren, your political agenda, please gloucester township spoke loud and clear when you ran for election last time (you got crushed..shocker). The residence don't care bout your agenda or you. That's what the polls confirmed. Since you have all day doing nothing, you should volunteer at children's hospital in Philadelphia. You need to learn how lucky you are to not worry about your children at night. You need to know what families that have autistic children go through. You need to know what a family goes through when their child has cancer and has two weeks to live. You need to know what it is like to sit in the chapel and pray the child gets through this.You sure showed who you are and the voters send it right back at you. You are not in touch with the real problems families face everyday. Keep worrying about an arv or a pot hole. Polls showed where u rank in the township

I am thrilled that we are getting this field. I have a adult with disabilities in my family and it would have been such a blessing to have something like this for him to play the sport he absolutely loved and he could only sit and watch his cousins play. It was very painful for him and his family.
This field of dreams cost allot of money to build Darren Gladden and as you know through your constant complaining, people don't readily donate as much as they would when times were easier so it took longer than YOU would like. Well it's a mute point now, it's coming to fruition in April.
There are allot of good folks who worked really hard in the background to help get this done and you work hard on making remarks on thissite and call people names like a child having a meltdown. What the heck is wrong with you? Your rants are out of control this past few months and honestly, it probably has nothing to do with the Twp. sounds like a guy with personal problems who wants to throw them at the Twp. feet. IDK Darren, if you cant control it maybe you need help but you really are alienating yourself. Is this what your buddies have done to you? Did they bring you to a level of anger and rage that you don't even understand? How can you possibly attack everything that happens in GT and still want to live here? I think you mentioned you live in a nice neighborhood, with a nice healthy family, so times are tough but I can't believe you say after every remark,just care I do.

reading darrens comment I didnt see in anyway was he saying anything against the field. hes saying "have it done on 4/20" find another fight GJGT this one isnt it. How dare you put words in someones mouth? and if anything DG woke up alot of people in this twp and surrounding towns as well. maybe hes not the most articulate but hes more respected than you can ever imagine. so dont you DARE judge and say hes putting down anyone with a disability you CRUMB.you are the one that needs to be more aware of the REAL problems in the twp. WAKE UP!

If Darren really cared he would have put his personal political agenda aside and perhaps made a comment about how nice the Field of Dreams is finally going to be finished. How grateful he is to live in a Twp. where he knows public safety is number one priority and it's become a awesome place to raise a family since he has lived here so long.
IDK Great Job Gt, I think it's a waste of time to even comment to this guy, he is brainwashed by his radical friends, seems to thrive on the anger they feed him.
The bad part about it is the leader of the pack, doesn't even live in Gt and his prime agenda is to find guys like Darren to follow and help do his dirty work.
Anyway, I try to focus on all the positive things that have happened in the past three years here in Twp. that are family oriented, I feel such pride to live here and I don't mind telling people from other towns when they ask about the changes here.
The clueless ones have no idea what goes into something like the field. When you think about how successful GT Day was last year and all the happy families, on MLK Day of service, all the folks that came out this year to give back to our community, ha , didn't see any of the radicals there.
Again, the constant quote from the hypocrite, just care I do. He just cares about separating and destroying people on GT. Ain't gonna happen, GT is moving forward so fast to make it a great place for all to live work and play, even Darren the insensitive, with a lousy agenda.

Yeah, I remember. If he runs again with all his negativity it would probably be more like 5000 to 20.
Let me go on the record, I hope that we get a nice pier or dock at Blackwood Lake. Ther are allot of families that live around there that con have somewhere other than the mud to stand in and fish with the children. I'm sure that children with disabilities would love to have a place to fish in Twp. They can Thank the Mayor and Council for caring about all the children in Twp.
I remember a while ago when someone was giving Council President a rough time about them spending money on something at the sports complex. I was so impressed when his answer was, "Sometimes it's just the right thing to do" and we invest in our children in GT. He certainly proved right didn't he.
I don't think Darren cares about anything but how loud he can scream and his 5 min of fame tearing people down. It's a shame, children learn what they live.

Not to interrupt this really great fight, but I'd like to pose a few actual questions. The field is a wonderful concept. I see that the "dedication" is set for April 20th. Which I presume akin to a ground-breaking? Exactly what will that entail? And has the construction of the field yet begun? And is there an estimated completion date for it as of yet?
Anyone have this information? I am just wondering when it will go from concept to utilization?

getting bigger but as you can see a YEAR WASTED and we are only on Ground breaking and Fund raising when the PEOPLE down the shore told us how they got started WITH NO MONEY and a patch of land ............. Now I ask this question right NOW mayor . Why can't this get done again by APRIL 20 so the kids can PLAY this year and not have them wait another year ......... Hey I know rome was not built in a day but I think we can get this field done within 2 months or you still SHOPPING around for the Best deals on a APC . ....SMH .....WAKE up people I with you

Darren how do you not know the answers to the questions Michelle is asking? You were on the committee for field of dreams. Or were you removed because they realized you were to negative? I understand right after you were removed from the committee is when it was all finalized. That would actually mean you were the problem not the solution on this subject too. Makes us all wonder what you really care about when you say “just care I do.” Seems from your record and your plethora of posts on Patch you care but more about your agendas then the disabled children you accepted an appointment for and pledged to help.

Darren your ignorance is bliss. Frank is not the only person on here that does not agree with you, on here. FYI he does not work for the Twp. anymore, get your facts straight. By the way apparently he did want it done, you didn't because as soon as you were kicked off the committee for being too divisive they seemed to be able to move forward.

By the way, no bait Darren, just facts, you could not get this done.You were the failure. You were replaced for being divisive and doing what some people saw as attempts to create diversions, being divisive and deliberately trying to sabotage the project.

Susan Greene

7:40 pm on Tuesday, February 19, 2013

I'm pretty sure The Field of Dreams will be done when the project planners are ready for it to be done, not when as Darren JUST STATED at 6:10 p.m he was the one SCREAMING to get it done on his time. That seems to be a daily event in Twp. Darren thinks he's running the town and that he is the Mayor. Everything is wrong because Darren wants it done his way. How do you get thrown off of a nice committee like this and think you know everything about running a Twp. and a Police Dept. when you can't sit and interact with others who give of their time in a dedicated ,professional manner? There are plenty of delays when you take on a project like this and when you have a narcissistic big mouth trying to run the show then that wastes other volunteers time and causes delays . what does Darren care? He just needs attention
all the time no matter how negative it is. He knows how to run a town, you just get on Patch, rant, rave call people and the Mayor names and say just get it done. So "Mayor Darren", what's your budget for this year? WANNA B LEADER.
You burned yourself out, no one can possibly take you serious anymore on any issue

I see them antagonize him all the time after council, then they leave him all fired up racing his van out of the parking lot. Did any of them help him at all with his campaign? They out of Towner that comes here should have donated something , after all word out there is that he has a good gig going with his lawyer on filing OPRA request up and down S.J. Darn, at least he could have kicked in a few bucks for him. Nope, they ran away from Darren like the wind. Of course that's the Democrat and Republican's fault he is being used. Can't say he wasn't warned.

I saw someone mentioned potholes earlier for some strange reason. Who do we need to call to report them? I know that some of them are on county roads, but even if there were nothing else I agree with Darren on, there is a ton of potholes right now in town. I know it gets worse in winter with the elements, but there are a couple on Chews Landing and Little Gloucester roads that are more like craters than potholes. I actually thought the one over by Glen Landing was going to eat my car.

Michelle,
Yes, there are potholes in GT and surrounding areas, Always. That being said, if a resident takes the initiative to call and report them then that's being pro active in your Community, and that's a good thing.
Also, if you call, report and give adequate time for them to be repaired and their not, well, then you have documentation. Call the Mayor's office and report the issue, I'm sure it would be addressed right away. The problem is there are County roads of course running thru GT. The numbers are on the websites. If folks can get on computer and complain then they can take a minute and report via the websites. certainly have noticed the roads being closed for repair for the past couple of months, so I would guess to say, they are working on them. As a long time resident of GT I have a problem, not with people going to Council and complaining about a problem they may have, or asking for help with a issue in their neighborhood, that's what they are there for to listen to residents issues. My major problem is they way it is done. There is absolutely no need to stand up there and scream and hurl insults for their Political agenda. It's not what you say it's how you say it, and we are better than that in G.T. I've stated before that there used to be allot of residents going to Council, but a certain group has chased them away. How right is that? Residents from both sides of the aisle are disgusted with this behavior, it's counter productive and nothing but drama.

I read every post on his topic. Not once did Darren every say anything about the children. He is not against the kids. He is against the mayor talking about ground breaking. Darren has been to many council meetings and he has to sit there and listen to people talk. He and I want people in leadership to get it done. Delays to this project only buy more votes. Stop going after Darren and complete the project ASAP . Again it is for the disabled. Not for anyone else, another year is too long. You all are behind the same cause now, speed it up so everyone cane watch them play this year!!!!!

How can anyone say it's a fair system when we used to have Sr. Citizen's come out, again, both sides, and voice their concerns. They stopped coming because of all the drama kings coming to the mic, screaming, throwing insults and attacking. Darren had the opportunity to report where the potholes are at council, but never did.
This is a blatant interruption of the Democratic process we ALL hold dear . This gang of bullies , well, some of them don't even live in G.T. but come there and throw insults and attack to Lt. Col. Sam Siler at the last meeting. Really?
To not Darren's friend, Darren is arrogant and disruptive in Twp. and on Patch. He is a trouble maker and a bully and people are getting tired of it. The Committee will have the project done when it's done , not when Darren demands it. There is allot involved in a project like this , from what I hear and read, it will be awesome, and regardless of your not friend's interference. Maybe if he should quiet down and be respectful of the process , just ask the questions in a respectful way then people would stop picking back at poor misunderstood Darren. I said it before, the radical guys he's hanging with are also," Not Darren's Friends" they get him fired up and then laugh behind his back, I've seen this so many times after council.
Didn't you notice how he turned this article about the field for the disabled children around to be about him? It's time for Just Care to prove he does and act like a human, not a feral cat.

Susan Greene get your facts RIGHT for once . I started attending council meeting because there was a PROBLEM with my street not getting plowed right . So after not getting any answer On the phone calls I made . I took myself to a council meeting . There was 8 People in the crowd that night . Now there might be 8-12 showing up to meeting now sometime just the only Three hacks they pay to Hackle people are there . Now when GT Hollywood Boy Dave CALLED me a LAIR and started trying to make me FEEL like the ISSUE of the LACK of KNOWLEDGE his TEAM has with PROBLEMS in this town was my PROBLEM. I kept going to meeting and ASKING questions . What so wrong with that . Since people like to CALL me out all the time and say mean things about me and since I have been STANDING by my words and not MAKING up a fake screen name to hide behind like some .. I will state this to all you trolls Susan Greene , Great Job GT, NA and who can't forget Ymbda of the world you can ATTACK me all you like but the TRUTH my friend HURTS .

Darren Gladden, If council overlooked the permits process, and the bid process, and just awarded contracts and started building it and paid everyone for time, labor, and materials without the need to make sure they were getting the best prices, and contractors, for the money they were spending, and they actually broke ground today, how long would it take to complete the project?

You claim it’s that easy and can be done that fast so you must have some answers already right? Well give us the answers so we can pressure council and the mayor to disregard all the town ordinances and state laws and just get it done because Darren demands it done right now. But in order for us to advance your agenda you need to give us answers to the questions:
How long will it take to build using your contractors?
How much will it cost paying labor to your contractors?
How much will the materials cost buying products from your vendors?
How much will the fields cost to insure using your carriers?
How long will it take your contractors to build the roadway infrastructure to get to and from fields safely?
Who will do the roadway infrastructure?
How much will the roadways cost using your contractors and materials vendors?
I could go on and on with the questions but I would guarantee you can't answer these questions so why waste time.

Ok Chief Prove me wrong, give us the answers sometime today!
That obviously is not a problem you already told us you could do it, now do it!

Darren I would love to answer your question but you are refusing to answer mine. You have been very flamboyant on here saying you were part of the committee to do this project and that it should have already been completed. You claim you are still on that committee. Now if you were part of the committee and your still on the committee how do you not know the answers? You claim you would have already had it done all I’m asking is how? I even said to you, let’s live in your dream world and pretend you had 100% control and no bid or permit laws existed and you can hire all your friends and allies or companies you wanted to without consenting with anyone, how would you do it? Your answer was that you couldn’t get it done EVER! You said you’re not the mayor and you don’t have his connections so you could not do it. That Darren is exactly why you are a fraud.

The complete deck was just handed to you to skirt every law on the books and you said you could not get it done, not only could you not get it done but you could not even let us know how long you think it would take to get it done. I did not ask you any tricky or hard questions. I asked you how you would get it done, how long would it take and what would it cost. You said you had no clue. You’re the fraud!

Darren you’re crucifying the current mayor for not having a project completed that you were on the planning committee for. If you could not make a recommendation on what to do and how to do it and he is getting it done despite your failure to cooperate then you’re the failure. How dare you crucify the guy for getting the job done that you were hired to do but instead you decided to be divisive and like you, your plan failed.

Again you think you’re so perfect and you could do a better job well you were given the opportunity and you failed to produce. Now I asked you a couple easy questions if you think you could do better tell us, who you would hire to do the job, how long would it take. What would it cost? You claim you would have had it done already and yet, you were on the committee making the recommendations to council. If your claims are true and you would have had it done you certainly must know who you would have used to do the job , how long it would take to complete and what it would cost they are basic questions. So if your assertions are true, how is it possible that you could not answer those 3 simple questions?

Darren you know even though you refuse to answer my question I will answer yours
As far as Lectner salary I don't know his salary. I never asked him but he is a town planner and has a master’s degree so I would guess he is at about $80,000 a year. Where you’re confused is what a town planner does. You seem to believe a planner bids construction jobs and prices out labor and manages the projects and tells you how to do the job and finds businesses to buy property here. Well you are 100% wrong. A Planner takes the recommendations and directives from businesses or in this case from the committee you were on, and makes sure what you are trying to put on a particular parcel does not violate the town’s master plan for that parcel. If it violates he shoots down the plan and tells you how to apply to the planning board to attain a variance or land designation change so that the project can comply or change the town’s master plan to accommodate the project you are trying to place on the parcel.

So your assertion that he should plan the project is not true, that was the job of the committee you were on, he was there to tell you if your plan was in compliance or not. It was not to tell you how to do the project. It is pathetic that you have been crucifying this guy for over a year now and you don't even know what his job is. It is obvious you need a dictionary so you can learn what the job titles mean for the people you crucify.

Darren, You’re very mislead. I’m not sure if it’s lack of education or just complete ignorance but either way you need to find friends that don’t lie to you and then laugh at you once they make a fool out of you. Really you need to stop letting them wind you up point you at the mic and know they can count on you to make a fool of yourself.

Darren, I more than like the truth, I LOVE THE TRUTH, and TRUTH IS you FAILED to come up with a plan. As a member of the committee you were divisive and disruptive and now your sour because even though you tried to use disabled children as a platform to slam the mayor you have been unable to answer a simple question about how you would have had this completed already. I have a new and better question for you.

Darren Gladden you were appointed to the committee to finish this project last year. Why, 1 year later, are you still unable to answer a simple question; if we used all your and ideas and started today, How long would it take to complete using your contractors and at what cost? It should be a simple question to answer for a guy like you. You were on the committee for a year. Obviously there is a plan going forward tell us why you oppose it so badly, and what you wanted done differently.

So far you keep trying to spin the question into your not the mayor, well you don't have to be. You just need to be Darren Gladden council candidate. Tell us how you would have had this done. No excuses we the residence of Gloucester Twp want answers, we are tired of politicians, like you, that avoid and spin questions and think your spin will divert the answer. As part of the town leadership for this project you should be able to answer this simple question.
How you would have had this done, give us a time frame, names of contractors and costs.

Darren, I got a ticket also, I swore up and down I stopped, until I looked at it online. Sure enough, I didn't stop. Yeah, hit the budget big time, but, I'm careful now and have moved on from it. I know you don't fully understand how things work, but if you would just quietly and respectfully ask your questions to a member of leadership, they would explain it to you. There is allot I don't understand, so I just ask when I see someone. There are logical reasons why certain projects move faster than others.
As far as Pep Boys and other Auto places, business come to township and want to be established here,do you think it would be a responsible practice to turn them away if they meet all the criteria? Your anger is generated toward the Mayor for whatever personal reason you have and your anger spills over on this site. Honestly, I can not believe fo one minute the Mayor called you a liar. I am not hurt, what are you talking about, and dude, I don't have evil ways, I just enjoy my life and stay active in my community..You obviously don't know me so nice try on the spin. As far as the Field, well, throw your tantrum, it will be done when they want it done, not when you want it done.BTW, I've been going to and watching council way before you showed up with your out of town radical friends and disrupted the meetings. How can you even show your face after you got kicked out because of your behavior with your anger and hatefulness . Everything and everyone are wrong and your right.

Funny, when I ask leadership a question I usually get a blank stare. Who do you know, Susan Greene (wink-wink), that we don't know?

Seems as though, based on Pete's post, about 95% of the potholes I have seen in the area on county roads anyway. So, I guess I'll be contacting them. Thanks.
