The Thielke Arboretum, located at 460 Doremus Avenue in Glen Rock, will host two new programs for children. Art instruction and nature journaling sessions will be held on July 1 and 2. Local artist Gail Schneider will present a two-day painting class entitled, “Watercolors in the Wetlands,” for children who will be entering grades one through three. Schneider will present instruction in how to choose subject matter; the use of transparent and opaque watercolor paints, water soluble pastel crayons, and wax crayons; and how materials can be used together and in what order they can be layered. The program will run from 10:30 a.m. to noon and costs $45. All materials are supplied. Former teachers and current arboretum docents Julie
Arboretum to host nature art & journaling programs for children
Della Torre and Diane Schlegel will present Nature Journaling to children who will be entering grades three through five in September. This program, which will also be held July 1 and 2, will run from 10 a.m. to noon. The $25 fee includes all materials. Della Torre and Schlegel will help the children look at the arboretum wetlands up close and preserve their observations through writing and sketching. Registration for both workshops is available online at www.glenrockarboretum.org or on Facebook. Space is limited and early registration is advised. Attendees are encouraged to bring water bottles, insect repellent, sunscreen, hats, and boots. Both programs will be held rain or shine. Proceeds from the workshops will benefit the proposed Thielke Arboretum Environmental Education Center.
Industrious boys
Correction of June 12 article
The Boy Scouts from Troop 27 in Glen Rock recently held a Car Wash and Bake Sale in the Saint Catharine’s Church parking lot.
The surname of Glen Rock Board of Education candidate Carlo Cella III was misspelled in article that apeared in the June 12 edition. Villadom TIMES regrets the error and any inconvenience it may have caused.
Harlow honored
(continued from page 7) A graduate of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, Harlow had earlier served as an 18-year-old U.S. Navy Seabee on Saipan and Okinawa when both islands were still hotly contested by their Japanese garrisons. He worked on the closest American-built airstrip to the Japanese home islands and helped plan the tentative invasion of Japan. After the war and his graduation from Dartmouth, Harlow taught English as a college professor in Athens, Greece, under a Fulbright Scholarship. He completed graduate work in engineering and statistics at New York University, but did not take an advanced degree. This career was reflected in the formal proclamation given to him by the council last week. “They only made one error,” Harlow said quietly. “They had me born in Massachusetts and I was actually born in Paris, France.”
