 New Folice ftief o Roselle Nutive
""iiii'=he Borough's new Police Chief,
.iii. Denis Kelleher,45,is a Roselle native
who wants to bridge the gap between the
police and residents. "I know the town
very well, and I know the residents," said
Kelleher. "It's been a positive experience
for me to be able to work for the town I
grew up in."
Kelleher calls himself a "firm believer"
in the community policing philosophy.
Community policing calls for police to
work with elected officials, other govern-
mental agencies and residents to address
crime, and quality of life issues that may
contribute to the crime problem."
Kelleher's goals as acting chief include having police officers develop a
better rapport with Roselle residents. "I would like to bring in more commu-
nity relations programs," Kelleher said. "I want to improve the relationship
between the police department, and the business community. I also want to
make the residential uir.ur, and areas around the schools safer."
In 1g93,Kelleher became a police officer for the R.oselle Police Department.
Since then, he has moved up the ranks from a foot patrol police officer to his
newly-appointed position of acting police chief. In 1987 Kelleher became a
detective and handled juvenile investigations. Kelleher has served as a crime
prevention officer. In addition, he established the DARE (Drug Abuse Resist-
ance Education) Program in the Roselle Public School System, and ran the
police department's Neighborhood Watch program. In 1 9g2,he was promoted
to sergeant, and also had a role in internalaffairs. In l994,he"returned to the
street," as a nighttime patrol sergeant. In l99g,he achieved the rank of lieu-
tenant, and served as a shift commander in the patrol division. In 2006, Kelle-
her achieved the rank of captain.
Kelleher was promoted to police chief on June 1, replacing acting Police
Chief Michael Sakala, a 34-year veteran of the force who will be returning
to his previous post of administrative captain.

.'rfu duy to remember the abolition of slavery, Iuneteenth Day,was marked
t' .+.:+.bY
a celebration of freedom at Borough Hatl in Roselle on Iune 14.
"Juneteenth Duy is the duy that the U.S. Government acknowledges the abo-
lition of slavery," said Makeda Bower of the New Jersey Caribbean Commu-
nity Cultural Organization, which cosponsored the event with Local 707
HEART (Humanitarian Employees Alliance Rights and Trades) and the Bor-
ough of Roselle. "You have to remember that slavery was abolished in the
Caribbean, and in other parts of the world before the United States. TWo
years ?Bo, the U.S. government made ]une Caribbean Heritage month. I
knew ]uneteeth Day would go great together with Caribbean Heritage Week.
Our goal is to educate and uplift people."
The event featured performances by the Seven Principals, a West-African
dance troupe, and Iennifer Walters, a Carrbbean Singer, as well as other cul-
tural performances. A youth group from 707 HEART performed, and Kamau,
a radio and talk show personality was the master of ceremonies for the event.
In addition, there were two keynote speakers, Balozi Harvey, from the Newark
Economic Corp., and one of the founders of the seven principles of Kwanzaa)
and Pastor Seaton Samuel, a resident of Roselle for 21 years, and a community
activist. 'A lot of people don't know about Juneteenth Dayi said Odette
Machado, President of Local707 HEART, who was the driving force behind
the event. "We want to create awareness about Juneteenth Day.'
Other events held to mark Caribbean HeritageWeek included a local live
radio broadcast called "Emancipation in Song," and the "Raise Up Freedom

.'.1;,i'.echnology seems to promise everything, if you listen to its most avid
iiii proponents. Electronics and chips and imagination, and presto! The
future will be tomorrow.
The future will indeed be heavily influenced by technology. The future
will also be about people, and how they make themselves into a community.
That will be the k.y role of the public library in the future.
Since ancient Alexandria, libraries have been collections of documents
representing ideas, where scholars and others went to learn. In America, the
public library was for decades the "people's university" where one could go
and get a book on most any topic, or have the librarian find one for you.
The advent of the Internet has led many to doubt the role of public
libraries in the2lst Century. "I can look it up on the web," they say. Hon-
estly: have you looked anything up on the web and found the right answer,
with a single click? More likely, you have received a range of websites, from
the spurious to the authoritative, but little in the way of guidance.
You Tirbe, MySpace, and FaceBook (and whatever the next hot app is) are
tech methods for people to connect. The downside is that those connec-
tions are at the distance of telecommunications. Futurists predict that the
more gadgets society uses, the more people will crave the personal touch.
That is where the public library will be. It will be the crossroads of the
community, where people can meet people, to learn and to grow. It will be future is about people. It's about creating space that is welcoming. It is

and $2 million dollars from the Borough of Roselle.
The project encompasses building a system of culverts and bridges, and
will include excavation of the channel and brook to allow for protection
against floods. "This project will give residents in the floo d zoie 100-year
protection from storms," Koscur said. "We're going to widen the channel.
We'll replace culverts that are of an inaccurate size io when you have water
going through them, there will be enough protection.')

By Dr. Elnardo Webster, Superintendent of Schools

=*'g5=he summer months are an important time to occupy
.S= your children with enrichment programs and activi-
ties that can help them perform better academically. Stud-
ies show that children who participate in summer enrich-
ment programs have an advantage over other students in
the pursuit of academic excellence. Parents also have "peace
of mind" when they know that their chiidren are participat-
ing in supervised activities.
I encouruge you to take advantage of the various pro-
grams offered by the Borough of Roselle and Roselle Public
Schools to keep your children positively engaged this sum-
mer. Thke advantage of the Play 7 to 7 summer program co-
sponsored by the Borough and Board of Education, in addi-
tion to enrichment classes offered throughout the district.
The free summer programs offered in the Roselle Public
Schools include band, E.S.L, open SIm, math and language
arts. Class schedules vary and run through August 30'h. For
more information on courses and their locations visit our
web site at www. Roselles cho ols. o rglhome. aspx.
I am hoping that everyone will take advantage of these
great opportunities and I look forward to seeing you in the
fall. Together with the help of parents and the community,
the Roselle Public Schools are committed to serving the
needs of students as An Institute of Excellence. ::
