Attorney General supports Orange... | November 13th, 1988 | Charles Cobbertt

Attorney General Cary Edwards has filed a court brief in support of a political interference and harassment lawsuit Orange Police Chief Robert Sorge has filed against the mayor and police director. Under state law, Edwards maintains, "a chief of police must fuction as the executive of the police department" and municipalities cannot appoint subordinate police officers from the ranks and make them "superior to the chief." Mayor Robert L. Brown appointed Lt. Charles Cobbertt as police director on July 5, four days after assuming office, and the city council approved the action. Edwards' brief says "it is incompatible with the office (of a police chief) for a police officer to assume the duties of an appropriate authority." Sorge two months ago sued Brown and Cobbertt, contending he has been made the object of their "political interference in the workplace and political harrassment" ever since Cobbertt became his boss. Edwards, in the court bri

Charles C. Cobbertt , 49, was appointed   police director   by the Orange City Council last night. Cobbertt becomes the   first black   to hold the position. Cobbertt, who replaces former Mayor paul Monacelli in the post, has been a member of the police department for 20 years. He began his career as a patrolman and rose to the rank of lieutenant. "I promise I will do all I can to bring honor back to this department." Cobbertt told the city council. "I'm sure he will bring the morale and unity back to the force that has been lacking for so long," said Council-woman Louise Corvino. The council awarded a contract to Bruno Associates Inc. of Bloomfield for an amount not to exceed $32,000 to solicit public funding for community programs. A public meeting regarding budget amendments has been scheduled for 6 tonight in the council chambers.

Suspended Cop Chief denied reinstatement... | December 25th, 1988 | Charles Cobbertt

A judge in Newark has denied suspended Orange Police Chief Robert Sorge 's request to be reinstated while awaiting a hearing on charges of bribery, insubordination and conduct unbecoming a police officer. Supperior Court Judge Paul B. Thompson turned down both of Sorge's requests on Friday and denied the chief's request to name an acting chief to run the department while he awaits disposition of the charges filed against him Monday. "There's absolutely no basis for these allegations," argued Jerome Convery, Sorge's attorney, referring to the chief being accused of using an Orange auto repair shop's license plates on his private car between July 25 and October. Sorge "unlawfully borrowed (license) plates from a car dealer in town." It is "highly likely he conspired with a city businessman and personal friend of his" to get the plates, and he failed to even register the car with the state Department of Motor Vehicles until recently, c

A crackdown against drug traffickers in Orange is continuing, according to Police Director Charles Cobbertt. He said 11 people, including a juvenile, were the latest to be arrested on charges involving possession and sale of cocaine. The arrests, made by members of the vice squad, the Essex County Sheriff Department's Bureau of Narcotics and the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, between Aug. 18 and Thursday, Cobbertt said. The director identified the suspects - all Orange residents except one - as Desiree Sutton, 27, of William Street and a 15-year-old city boy from Park Street. Both individuals were taken into custody at William Street and Glenwood Avenue. Sutton, who has no known occupation, was charged with possessing cocaine, selling cocaine and conspiracy to violate the state's narcotics laws.

Charles "Charlie" Cobbertt’s life story is a powerful example of overcoming adversity and leading revolutionary change. Charlie’s early life, deeply influenced by his upbringing in the segregated South, set a foundation of resilience and determination. He was born on June 24, 1939, in Drew, Mississippi, a place and time rife with poverty and racial challenges.  Moving to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at a very young age, further exposed him to the stark inequalities of the time, deeply influencing his perspective and sense of justice. His journey from Mississippi to New Jersey was marked by personal growth, shaped by the struggles and experiences of living as a Black person in America during that era. At Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, Charlie's sense of social awareness and responsibility began to take root. This period was crucial in developing the values and strengths he would carry into adulthood. Rising to become the first African American Police D

Graphic design - Me, myself, and AI

Image
So what is the future for graphic design?   Great question.  Firstly, while our company still offers graphic design in Saskatoon , there are many in the industry who ask the question, "When will AI take my industry away?" It seems that 2023 has made it apparent that AI has made it's way into everyday life, more frequently.  From programs like DALL-E, to SMS software like Matador.ai, artificial intelligence is broadening it's horizon. DALL-E is a program that, among other functions, generates images from a user-entered description.  I have tried this program myself, and though there are still minor bugs to swim through, this program definitely is heading in the direction of automated image creation. This, spells out significant doom for the traditional digital designer.  As a designer myself, I feel that it is ever more important to adapt and learn how a designer can integrate with the artificial intelligence in a meaningful way. Easier said than done, unless, you say
