Kennedy will oversee research to gain an understanding of user needs, expectations and experience with the Canton Public Library in order to provide a framework for the strategic plan• ning process. Residents may give feedback in a number of ways. Eight focus group sessions were held in early February to gather the opinions of specific user groups. The Canton Public Library Web site, www. cantonpl.org, has a strategic plan page with updates and a blog comment format to encourage community response. Web users may also contribute through the library's Facebook and Twitter accounts. Strategic plan comment boxes are located throughout the library to collect feedback cards and discussions with staff are encouraged.

    NOVEMBER 2014 • VOL. 6 NO. 2 2 Letter from the Editor 5 Steps Toward Better Government November is a political month. And, while you are probably reading this after you have already voted I thought it would be interesting to offer the following for consideration: I have long been an advocate of convincing the inner 15% of both parties to remove themselves from the current political table and finally form a third party. This would give those of us who strive to be Socially Conscious and Fiscally Responsible nearly one third of the pie. Are we not tired of seeing the same faces telling the same lies? And, the whole Republican vs. Democrat debate is like forever arguing The Beatles vs. The Stones. Didn’t anyone dig Bowie, Queen or The Stooges? Until a Third Party, however, I humbly offer these 5 Steps Toward Better Government: 1. Vote all incumbents out of office regardless of party affiliation. It may take two or three cycles for elected officials to get the point, but after that I believe they will be more inclined to listen to the will of the people. 2. Cut in half the salaries of all local, state and federally elected officials and government employees (Except military, police and fire). Repeal their right to vote for salary increases. Eliminate government pension plans and limit its healthcare to the same system as the rest of us. As President Obama has said, “It is an honor and a privilege to serve the people of the United States of America”. I tend to agree.

Gholz B.A., Macalester College, 1999 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 2007 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2011 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Carleton S.

Zboray, Department of Communication ii Copyright © by Carleton S. Gholz 2011 iii “WHERE THE MIX IS PERFECT”: VOICES FROM THE POST-MOTOWN SOUNDSCAPE Carleton S. Gholz, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2011 In recent years, the city of Detroit’s economic struggles, including its cultural expressions, have become focal points for discussing the health of the American dream. However, this discussion has rarely strayed from the use of hackneyed factory metaphors, worn-out success-and-failure stories, and an ever-narrowing cast of characters. The result is that the common sense understanding of Detroit’s musical and cultural legacy tends to end in 1972 with the departure of Motown Records from the city to Los Angeles, if not even earlier in the aftermath of the riot / uprising of 1967. In “‘Where The Mix Is Perfect’: Voices From The Post-Motown Soundscape,” I provide an oral history of Detroit’s post-Motown aural history and in the process make available a new urban imaginary for judging the city’s wellbeing.
