Digital camera workshop planned Well-known author and photographer Walter Choroszewski will present “Getting to Know Your Digital Camera,” at the Waldwick Public Library on Wednesday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. The presenter brings his expertise, humor, and “straight talk” perspective to this informal, introductory class covering the basics of photography and how to apply them in the digital age. Choroszewski will demystify menus and megapixels, clarify expectations, and discuss the limitations of digital photography. Participants are encouraged to bring a digital camera to the workshop. For more than 30 years, Choroszewski has been cele- brating and showcasing the best of New Jersey through his many photographic books and calendars about the state. A native of the coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania, his career as a freelance photographer was launched in the spring of 1980 when he was hired to create a photographic book about the State of New Jersey. “New Jersey: A Scenic Discovery” was released in 1981 and became an instant success, establishing his identity as a photographic artist and his new link to the Garden State. Since then, his work has appeared in numerous books, New Jersey studies textbooks, calendars, magazines, New Jersey tourism campaigns, corporate brochures, and annual reports. This program is free and open to the public; however, space is limited and advance registration is required. For more information, call (201) 652-5104.

Freedom Walk (continued from page 6) Driscoll, and John Hogan; Bergen County Sherriff Leo McGuire; Paramus Mayor James Tedesco; Paramus Council Members Cathy Bentz and Richard LaBarbiera; and Westwood Mayor John Birkner. Local veterans who participated in the walk included Veterans of Foreign Wars District 2 Commander John Kelly (Mahwah Post 7124 Chaplain); Frank Zabransky, adjutant, Little Ferry Post 809 and District 2 Chaplain; Charles Tanner, commander, Glen Rock Post 850 and District 2 trustee; Anthony Bailey, commander, Ramsey Post 682; Ken Owens, Fort Lee Post 2342, District 2 photographer and Northern Area VFW Department of NJ photographer; members from Paramus Post 6699; the Catholic War Veterans; and American Legion Posts. “What is nice to realize is that this grew out of a tiny nucleus of students from their middle school years,” Commander Kelly said. “An event to remember 9-11-01 and the lives lost that day, as well as the first responders who rushed there to help and continue to rush to help their communities, while remembering also the service men and women who serve to guard the gates of freedom around the world even now, is extremely wholesome, inspiring, and encouraging. We are in good hands in the future with young people such as these in the lead.” In addition to this local event, there also was a walk conducted in Iraq the day before as coordinated by Jermaine A. Athill, CPT AG, TF1-15 INF S1/ADJ/ HRO, FOB ECHO, and many of the soldiers who made their first Freedom Walk, albeit thousands of miles away, wore the same event T-shirts as the local participants. After the presentation of the colors, the pledge of allegiance, and remarks by the mayors of Paramus and Westwood, Assemblywoman Wagner made a few brief remarks emphasizing that this event really started nine years ago when the current committee was in middle school. She said it all started with the group sending “goodie” bags to the troops and, over the years, the event grew and evolved into the walk, which is now in its fourth year. New Jersey now has a new law annually designating the Sunday before 9-11 as Freedom Walk Sunday. Following further remarks by Rizzolo and others, the hundreds of attendees made a two-mile walk in the area with the American Flag leading the way and carried by many of the future leaders of America.
