Congratulations to Officer Bryce Moon for organizing the second annual Operation: Back 2 School" hosted on Sunday at Fitzgerald High School. Over 1,000 backpacks were funded by Walmart, A.D.S. Abes Drug Store, and the Community Policing Competitive Grant Program. Female hygiene products provided by Loren, Monica, and Olive Papasian and Cassandra Hunyor, food and nutrition assistance, and student enrollment services were also provided. In addition, students also received free haircuts and enjoyed face painting, a DJ, bounce house, food truck, and ice cream treats.

In addition to starting the school year off with new supplies, the Warren Police, K-9, Special Response Unit, and the Warren Fire Department interacted with the students through hands-on demonstrations, equipment/vehicle tours, and CPR instruction.

The power of community partnership served the essential needs of several hundred students. Thank you to everyone that made this a successful event in service to the youngest members of our community!

CELEBRATING THE 35TH YEAR OF UKRAINE'S SOVEREIGN STATEHOOD 🇺🇦

It was an honor to participate in last evening's commemoration of the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence at the Ukrainian Cultural Center.

The program was a vibrant celebration of culture, music, chorus, and history and was hosted by the New Wave Association (a group that distinguishes a new generation of Ukrainian-Americans who moved to the Detroit area following the collapse of the Soviet Union).

My remarks examined the parallel of post-Independent Ukraine and post-Revolutionary America, citing the founding principles of Thomas Jefferson, and the birth of a free-market economy. The tone of my speech was underscored by the ongoing sacrifice of several generations of the Ukrainian people as they continue in their struggle to defend themselves from ongoing Russian aggression and a renewed call to action vowing that the fight for freedom and independence must never falter.

Please also view the two videos posted in the comments.

Special thanks, dokuyu, to New Wave President Ruslana Proonko, the Ukrainian Cultural Committee, and Andrey Duzyj for their invitation to this historical event. Slava Ukraini!!

A vision 98 years in the making... From a humble beginning as Village Park in 1928, Eckstein Park now features 45,000 square feet of the most premiere skate park in all of Michigan!

This project spanned the terms of two administrations, incorporated the innovative vision of the Loren Papasian and Monica Anderson Papasian Family, earned the financial investment of Warren City Council, and the capable expertise of David Muzzarelli Public Service Director, and Warren Parks and Recreation under directors Dino Turcato (retired) and Jason Spiller.

We are thrilled that this once dilapidated and often forgotten park has now become the epicenter for beginner and advanced skaters alike, serving our community in addition to drawing enthusiasts from around the country and even the world.

The Eckstein Skatepark is a testament to a successful partnership in local government, responding to the needs of the community, and building a vision into reality.
