He started off as a Club Delegate for the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, served on committees, was Chair of the New York Metro Trails Committee, and currently was Chair of the Queens Parks Trails Council which he founded about six years ago.

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.

K1 ate) Attached Abstract: [_x_] yes ] no Attached Briefing Statement: [ ] yes [ ] no 2 Reference:NJ/Military Park Commons Historic District/City-CDBG/ New Jersey Performing Arts Center Project Attachment ABSTRACT The City of Newark, New Jersey, proposes to allocate $1.2 million dollars in CDBG funds from a "Special Purpose Grant" authorized by Congress in 1990 to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) for the New Jersey Performing Arts Center Project. The undertaking, which will be constructed in the Central Business District, will cost an estimated $250 million and be implemented in phases over the next ten years. As currently designed, Phase I, a 2,7000 seat multi-purpose hall and 500 studio theater, will have an adverse affect on the Military Park Commons Historic District, two archeological sites, including the Trinity Church Cemetery, and several other standing structures, all of which have been determined eligible for listing on the National Register. NJPAC has been consulting with the New Jersey SHPO regarding this undertaking since 1990. Although a cultural resources survey and assessment of effect for properties within the "area of potential effect" was completed over two years ago, the Council did not become aware of this undertaking until the fall of 1992 when we were appraised by the SHPO that human remains would be impacted by the removal of the nineteenth-century Trinity Church Cemetery.

Stosch Mr. Walter J. Kucharski, Auditor of Public Accounts Director Philip A. Leone COPYRIGHT 2000, COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA Preface House Joint Resolution No. 530 and Senate Joint Resolution No. 345 from the 1999 Session directed a JLARC review of issues related to the care and maintenance of burial sites of Revolutionary War veterans. Virginia currently has a program to help provide for the care and maintenance of Confederate veteran gravesites, but has no similar program for veterans of the American Revolution. This final report provides a listing of Revolutionary War veteran burials that updates a list printed in the interim report for this study. The final report also contains recommendations and funding options for a program to provide care for these burial sites. JLARC staff estimate that there are about 560 cemetery sites and 705 grave markers that are potentially eligible for participation in a maintenance program re- ceiving State support. Some of the sites already receive certain maintenance care, so State assistance would serve to either help defray some of the current expenditures made by caretakers, or help them provide a higher level of maintenance care.

(tags: fasces, SeeninNYC) What are fasces? Fasces are a symbol of the authority of a Roman magistrate (= elected official). At Rome sovereignty (power) rested with the people. Election and correct religious observance bestowed ability to exercise power on behalf of the people (imperium from which we get our English words, empire and imperial). Fasces were real bundles of rods carried by attendants called 1 lictors. The lictors followed the magistrates everywhere as long as they had imperium. A magistrate could order their lictors to enforce their commands with force, i.e.
