third-ranked Spotswood opened their seasons on Tuesday beginning their defense of the Greater Middlesex Conference championship against a Spotswood program that was getting its first taste of Red Division action after winning the White Division a year ago There was the potential for an intriguing pitcher’s duel between South Plainfield’s Erin Townley and Spotswood’s Ava Mormile And there were the Tigers taking the field for the first time since the 1980s without legendary Don Panzarella the only storyline that mattered was that South Plainfield looks like a squad that is capable of retaining that title after it dispatched its hosts by an 8-2 margin The Tigers scored six runs in the second inning and breezed behind Townley who recorded her 10th strikeout on the game’s final out

got one back on Ava Cabrera’s grounder in the top of the fifth Sophia Alvarez concluded the scoring with a solo homer over the fence in left-center in the top of the sixth “A couple of small things that definitely hurt us and a big inning for them,” Spotswood coach Vin Vizzi said “We gave away extra outs and South Plainfield capitalized whose lone walk came on a nine-pitch at bat in the sixth

brought by a South Plainfield police captain alleging sexual misconduct by the former police chief Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Alberto Rivas last week dismissed with prejudice all claims by Capt Charles Siedenburg against former Chief James Parker Borough of South Plainfield and Councilman Robert Bengivenga The court also dismissed Siedenburg's request for punitive damages with the South Plainfield Police Department since 1993 filed suit in 2021 accusing Parker of engaging in sexual acts with several female police department and borough employees Parker's attorneys had argued the lawsuit stems from a personal dispute between the two officers because Siedenburg wanted Parker's job as chief Parker became provisional police chief in 2010 and chief on Jan Siedenburg has served as a captain since 2013 Siedenburg also alleged the former chief misused his emails and computer and engaged in sexual relationships with co-workers The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office had previously advised Siedenburg that there was insufficient evidence to claim Parker had violated any borough rule or regulation Over the years trial dates for the case for have adjourned five times

alleged indiscretions and that during oral arguments Siedenburg failed to identify any statute that would sustain a Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) claim "New Jersey case law is clear that CEPA does not cover internal bylaws All of the allegations made by Siedenburg were of alleged internal police and borough violations Siedenburg's CEPA claim fails as a matter of law because internal rules and regulations are not covered by CEPA," the judge ruled The judge also ruled improper use of workplace computer sexually charged emails and sexual relationship with a co-worker is not unlawful or dangerous to the public health "Additionally Siedenburg's complaints about Parker were always a private grievance Siedenburg had longstanding personal objections to Parker's leadership and the borough's failure to take disciplinary action against him,” the judge ruled “Siedenburg is upset that Parker obtained and retained the position of chief of police despite the alleged misuse of the borough's computer system and his sexual relations with a co-worker while on duty." Seidenburg was next in line to become police chief after Parker retired Both Seidenburg and Capt. Peter Papa applied for job and Papa was selected as police chief in part due to his higher civil service exam score and his proactive approach in getting federal and state grants for the police department please subscribe or activate your digital account today.
