Councilwoman Michelle Gentek becomes a Camden County freeholder in January.
The process to find Michelle Gentek's replacement on Gloucester Township Council recently got underway, according to Council President Glen Bianchini. Gentek will become a Camden County freeholder in January following her Nov. 6 election to the Board of Chosen Freeholders as part of a Democratic Party sweep of county races. A date for the freeholders' 2013 reorganization meeting, during which Gentek will take her oath of office, had not been set as of Friday afternoon, according to Camden County spokesman Dan Keashen. Gentek has one year remaining on her four-year term as councilwoman. Council's Dec. 27 meeting will be her last as a member of the township's governing body. The Gloucester Township Democrat Committee recently began accepting…

Gloucester Township Council meets for the final time of 2012 on Thursday, Dec. 27.
Gloucester Township Council's final meeting in 2012 will be held on Thursday, Dec. 27, not Monday, Dec. 17, as previously scheduled. Township Clerk Rosemary DiJosie confirmed the calendar move following Monday night's Council work session. Several Council members and township officials had made references during the work session to actions to be taken at the next meeting on Dec. 27, prompting the question from Patch. The original Township Council meeting schedule, as set by the governing body at its Jan. 2 reorganization meeting, had the final Council meeting of 2012 falling on Dec. 17. That Dec. 17 meeting has been canceled. The change had not been noted on the township's official website as of 11:30 p.m. Monday. DiJosie indicated she …

Sustainable Jersey grants Gloucester Township a certification bump from bronze to silver level.
Gloucester Township's green efforts are no longer deserving of just a bronze. Sustainable Jersey, which aims to reduce waste and cut greenhouse gas emissions, on Tuesday announced that Gloucester Township has been re-certified, with its standing level bumped from bronze to silver. The township is now one of just 11 municipalities in the state to attain Sustainable Jersey's silver level certification. "It's just exciting to be a part of a team that made that change," Councilwoman Michelle Gentek, who heads the township's Green Team, said. In addition to the Gloucester Township certification bump, Sustainable Jersey on Tuesday announced that it certified or re-certified 23 other towns in its latest review cycle.

Mayor David Mayer and Councilwoman Michelle Gentek were among those to bag groceries on Partners in Caring Day—a part of ShopRite's month-long initiative to fight hunger.
Laurel Hill ShopRite customers who hit the checkout lines between noon and 1 p.m. Wednesday didn't have to bag their own groceries. No, ShopRite didn't go back to the old days, when a bagger was available at the end of each checkout aisle. Mayor David Mayer, Councilwoman Michelle Gentek, and members of the Gloucester Township Police Department and Blackwood Fire Co. pitched in to support ShopRite's Partners in Caring initiative to fight hunger, serving as special baggers for about an hour. "It's such a great cause, to fight hunger. We appreciate (the help)," Laurel Hill ShopRite store director Ron Walker said. "It's a total team effort." ShopRite has been asking customers to make donations to support local food banks since Aug. 26. There…

Councilwoman Michelle Gentek, a candidate for Camden County freeholder, responds to questions about her position on a countywide police force.
Councilwoman Michelle Gentek says Gloucester Township will not be joining the proposed Camden County police force. "Gloucester Township will not opt in to the program," she said Tuesday. "We will not opt in." But the Democratic candidate for county freeholder feels the Camden County Police Department Metro Division, which county officials appear primed to launch for Camden City sooner rather than later, is very much needed. Gentek pointed to Camden's record number of homicides in July. She pointed to the fact that Camden's current 270-member police force would be bolstered to more than 400 officers under the plan. And she pointed to figures that suggest that, on any given day, 30 percent of police officers scheduled to be working don't …
