Reading the News

Posted on
NV columnist Lori Ingram, an actress living in University Circle.
I was moved to tears by the issue of Shawken News that was inserted into the April issue of Neighborhood Voice last month and produced by stalwart, hopeful and brave students from Shaw High School and Hawken School. I wonder how hard is the fight for equality gonna get? What will be the prize? It inspired poetry that seldom comes to me now. Reading the News I remembered what.

Teen Student Interviews County Medical Examiner

Posted on
For some time now, I’ve wanted to be a medical examiner. I guess all those crime scene investigation TV shows, like "Criminal Minds," got to me. When I told my mother about my latest career choice, she went digging through the Web for summer programs, internships — whatever. That is when she came across the High School Shadowing Program. The program is coordinated by the medical examiner.

Protecting Our Bridges

Posted on
NV Columnist M. LaVora Perry
I've been thinking about the old saying "Don't burn your bridges." I've considered how, contrary to those words, sometimes it's actually best to let a bridge burn. Of course, the saying isn't about bridges made of steel, concrete and other raw materials. It's about bridges that take you from where you are now in life to where you want to be. It was a a recent incident.

I Want my Neighborhood to Have…

Posted on
In our August issue, we asked readers to tell us what they would like their neighborhoods to have. We were inspired by residents in Collinwood who used a Neighborhood Connections grant to build a community chalkboard on Waterloo Road near East 160th Street asking the same question. The group is now building another chalkboard on East 185th Street. Folks from around the area answered our call..

Conference for Teens this Month

Posted on
I remember my English teacher in high school putting down the text book with her head following suit. “Class, let’s chat for a minute,” she said somberly. At that very moment, she became a mother and not an English teacher. I witnessed probably the most emotionally charged and relevant lecture since Sept. 11, 2001. I took in every word she said to use if I ever was.
