DARE TO PREPARE

We should make sure that our children are aware of the opportunities. Please share with your family and neighbors. My niece participated in a DARE Program that was very much like this. It was given through the Englewood Police Department. Where is DARE now? You never know. Perhaps we should pay more attention to growing a different kind of law enforcement officer.

"...The Academy is a free two-week “day camp” that is offered to qualified Bergen County youth entering high school. The Academy will run from June 29 through July 10.
With the motto “Honor – Respect – Commitment,” the Bergen County Youth Police Academy aims to educate the cadets about public service including county government, the judiciary, emergency services and law enforcement.

“Designed by law enforcement professionals, the Academy provides high school students with a real understanding of what police academy cadets experience,” stated Prosecutor John L. Molinelli. “This unique opportunity allows young people to focus on strengthening their life skills of self-respect, respect of others, teamwork, and commitment to one’s goals...

A Model Neighborhood Initiative

Story by Cyril Josh Barker

3/19/2015

Alternative Spring Break project students from Howard University are participating in Mayor Ras Baraka’s Model Neighborhood Initiative cleanup in Newark this week. 

They will be joined by other neighborhood volunteers and will focus on “the model street,” Seymour Avenue, between Avon and Hawthorne avenues. 

Fifty students, including some from Newark, are already performing volunteer work at various sites throughout the city and will conclude with a community-engagement walk, another civic participation initiative by Baraka, at week’s end.

Baraka and his late father, the pioneering revolutionary artist Amiri Baraka, are both Howard University alumni.

Alternative Spring Break was launched in 1994 to provide Howard University students with a meaningful, constructive “alternative” to the usual spring break activities. 

The aftermath of the Katrina disaster in New Orleans inspired the growth of the project, which has since appeared in several cities, including New Orleans, Memphis, Detroit, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, Chicago and Baltimore. Project members have also served abroad in Haiti.

The project has been featured on BET, MSNBC, CNN and ABC and in the Chicago Tribune and the Detroit Free Press. 

Last year, Howard University was named to President Barack Obama’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest distinction a higher education institution can receive for community service.

Do You Remember the Hatch?: Explore The History of St. Paul's Church

.

The Englewood Historical Society
Presents 
a talk about St. Paul's Episcopal Church's History in Englewood

Speaker: Mark Trautman, Musical Director and Organist
.

..hope you can join us....
The Englewood Historical Society is presenting the third of a series of programs by representatives of our local religious organizations on Wednesday, March 18 at 7:30 pm. Mark Trautman, Music Director and Organist of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, will be the speaker and will talk about the history of the church in relation to Englewood.

Celebrating 150 years, St Paul's is a multicultural, multiracial parish that is well known for its classical, jazz, and gospel musical programs, as well as its innovative choir school.

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May, 2014. The Chapel building is late Victorian revival style and the historic sanctuary is late English Gothic style. Both buildings were designed by Thornton Floyd Turner, the first child baptized in the parish and well-respected New York City architect. Early pictures show this Gothic structure covered with English ivy which was transplanted from Canterbury Cathedral in England. Other notable features are the rose limestone foundation and the stained glass windows from Tiffany, La Farge, and Lamb Studios.

The Englewood Historical Society (EHS) is "Mindful of the Past ... Dedicated to the Future" with a mission to explore and communicate the history of Englewood, New Jersey via programs, events, and special projects. Previous talks in this series were well attended programs by Bob Ryder discussing the oldest Englewood church, First Presbyterian and "Father Joe" speaking about the history of St. Cecilia's Church.

EHS, whose goal is to create awareness of local history and be an information source, is open to anyone interested in the history of Englewood and its neighboring communities. EHS is always looking for history lovers who would like to take an active part in promoting our local history, and to attend our meetings and programs.

All are welcome to hear the talk at the centrally located, historic St. Paul's Episcopal Church at
113 Engle Street, Englewood NJ.
7:30, Wednesday, March 18.
