Nix, 45, of Detroit; and Robert G. Gunn, 65, of Livonia; and, in the second plane to crash, Daniel V. Starr, 34, of Cedar Springs. It was the worst air crash in Plymouth-Canton’s recent history. According to Ashley Heimbaugh, the Fixed Base Operator at Mettetal Airport, it was ’ the first two-plane collision ever involving a plane just out of Mettetal.

Presents Encore of “The Hobart Shakespeareans” Aug. 15 on PBS Documentary Profiles Rafe Esquith’s Inspirational Elementary-School Teaching Methods A co-production of Mel Stuart Productions, Inc., American Documentary | P.O.V. and Thirteen/WNET New York “A fine and passionate documentary. Rafe Esquith is a genius and saint. The American education system would do well to imitate him.” - Anita Gates, The New York Times “For Esquith, it's not about making an easy path for his students but about opening doors for them to work hard and create better lives for themselves.” - Merrill Balassone, Los Angeles Times Imagine the sight and sound of American children, ages 9 through 11, performing Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” or “Henry V”—and understanding every word they recite. Imagine them performing well enough to elicit praise from such accomplished Shakespearean actors as Ian McKellen and Michael York, and to be invited to perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company in England. Such a spectacle would be highly impressive in the toniest of America’s private schools. But what if the kids were recent Mexican and Korean immigrants attending a large Los Angeles inner-city public school in one of America’s toughest neighborhoods? That is the astonishing story told by the new documentary The Hobart Shakespeareans, which discovers how one man’s uncommon commitment and resourcefulness have opened up worlds of opportunity for his “disadvantaged” students—and perhaps have demonstrated a way forward for America’s beleaguered public education system.

  • It's a Balancing Act. That's the Secret to Making This Music Fit in Today
    “It’s a balancing act. That’s the secret to making this music fit in today”: Negotiating Professional and Vernacular Boundaries in the Cape Breton Fiddling Tradition by Ian Hayes A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Music Memorial University of Newfoundland January 2015 St. John’s, Newfoundland Abstract Originating from the music of early Gaelic immigrants, Cape Breton fiddling has been a thriving musical tradition for more than two hundred years. It eventually rose to prominence in the 1990s, receiving international recognition in the music industry. As the “Celtic boom” faded and major record labels lost interest in the tradition commercially, Cape Breton traditional musicians continued to maintain a presence in the music industry, though their careers now enjoy more modest success. All the while, Cape Breton fiddling has remained a healthy, vibrant tradition on the local level, where even the most commercially successful musicians have remained closely tied to their roots. This thesis examines how Cape Breton traditional musicians negotiate and express their musical identities in professional and vernacular contexts. As both professional musicians and tradition bearers, they are fixtures in popular culture, as well as the local music scene, placing them at an intersection between global and local culture. While seemingly fairly homogenous, Cape Breton fiddling is rich and varied tradition, and musicians relate to it in myriad ways. This plurality and intersubjectivity of what is considered to be “legitimate” culture is evident as the boundaries of tradition are drawn and change according to context.

  • Stances on the Land Political Perspectives on Land Use Governance in Vermont
    Stances on the Land Political Perspectives on Land Use Governance in Vermont by Thomas Hugh Niven Young A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography University of Toronto © Copyright by Thomas Hugh Niven Young 2011 Stances on the Land Political Perspectives on Land Use Governance in Vermont Thomas Hugh Niven Young Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography University of Toronto 2011 Abstract Vermont, like many rural places in the developed world, has been the destination of many urban migrants seeking lifestyle amenities unavailable in the city. This migration has been blamed for intractable conflicts over land use governance, with newcomers pitted against long-time residents on such issues as wilderness designation, agricultural impacts and motorized recreation. How accurate, though, are these representations of political visions polarized along lines of residential status? This dissertation maps out the complexity of popular outlooks on land use governance in Vermont using a Q-method survey and semi-structured interviews. Analysis of the survey found evidence for two distinct perspectives on land use governance, which were termed Green Governance and Government Scepticism. While distinct, these perspectives were not diametrically opposed; on many issues of concern to one group the other group was neutral. These groups did not map directly onto residential status; in particular, long-time residents were clearly evident in both groups. Looking deeper into the stances on land use, tensions between stances are evident at both the level of the group and the individual. The dissertation traces these ii tensions and considers their implications for how individuals are enrolled in larger political projects such as neoliberalism.
