Robinson. In 1967, a tract of land was donated to the Springfield Park District by the city of Springfield to fulfill his dream. Construction of the zoo began in 1968 and on August 29, 1970, the Henson Robinson Zoo was officially opened. Over the years, the zoo has grown and expanded with the addition of several new animals as well as exhibits. The zoo is now home to more than 300 animals native to Australia, Africa, Asia and North and South America. Over 90 species of native and exotic animals are housed here among naturalistic exhibits.

  • South Mountain Reservation, Essex County, NJ 06.01.2020
    Statement of the National Association for Olmsted Parks Opposing Plans for Development in South Mountain Reservation Essex County is the home of the first county-wide park system designed by the Olmsted firm. This jewel of Olmsted design – celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2020 – provides restorative green and open space across diverse communities in a densely populated area. In these challenging times, open green space has never been more important to the health and beauty of the entire community. Rather than focusing on a new pavilion to accommodate large crowds at the Turtle Back Zoo, the National Association for Olmsted Parks urges the County to prioritize the long-term health of the South Mountain Reservation through maintenance, conservation and preservation of its native flora and fauna and natural lands. ***** Background John Charles Olmsted supplied Essex County with the first South Mountain designs in June 1900. In addition to parks of various sizes to meet neighborhood needs, the firm planned several large reservations in the Essex County System to protect their unique natural scenery for the benefit and health of all county residents. Olmsted presented planting notes, detailing woodland improvements and plans for minimally intrusive roads and paths in South Mountain. The extensive collection of designs, photographs and correspondence in the Olmsted Archives and at the Library of Congress reveal comprehensive long-term plans for a healthy wooded reservation, largely free of development. In 1920, the Essex County Park Commission even issued bonds, valued at $500,000, to allow for the purchase of additional parcels. The property, writes local historian Jeanne Kolva, was needed “to prevent the erection of structures which would appear to the casual observer to be within the reservation itself, and thus greatly detract from its sylvan beauty.” (Olmsted Parks in New Jersey, 2011) In the original Olmsted plans, there was no Turtle Back Zoo.

    MUSC 424 Iconic Figures of Popular Music: Simon and Garfunkel Fall 2018 Course no. MUSC 424 Section no. 47228 Units: 2 Time: Mondays 10:00-11:50pm Room: KDC 241 Course instructor: Bill Biersach Instructor’s office: MUS 316 Instructor’s office hours: MW 9 – 9:50 am; 12 – 1 pm Office phone: (213) 740-7416 Instructor’s email: [email protected] The Premise Singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer Art Garfunkel called themselves Tom and Jerry in 1957. They had a minor hit called “Hey Schoolgirl,” but they hardly considered themselves successful. Wonder of wonders, they emerged again in 1965 with a profoundly thought-provoking song called “Sounds of Silence.” Their music was further propelled by the inclusion of the song “Mrs. Robinson” in the classic Mike Nichols- directed film The Graduate. During the next few years they won many distinguishing awards. For example in 1971 their album Bridge Over Troubled Waters won the Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Contemporary Song, Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s), Best Engineered Recording, and Best Contemporary Vocal Group Grammy Awards. In 1990 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 received the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Truly this duet is one of the most remembered acts of the 1960s, and their music is certainly worth examination. Course Goal In this seminar we will scrutinize the output of this talented but turbulent duo from the standpoint of lyrics, musical style, philosophy, instrumentation, performance, and production. Students will be assigned specific songs to research in all these areas and prepare presentations based on their findings.
