  • Free Land Attracted Many Colonists to Texas in 1840S 3-29-92 “No Quitting Sense” We Claim Is Typically Texas
    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

(2006). Aspire and be inspired as a Korea foundation fellow: pay it forward in the long-term. Korean Foundation Newsletter, 15 (1), 1-3. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Aspire and be inspired as a Korea foundation fellow: pay it forward in the long-term Abstract This essay's title refers to the 2000 feature film Pay it Forward directed by Mimi Leder and starring the talented Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt, and Haley Joel Osment. The film is not all that great in terms of making a contribution to the art of cinema, which is what I research and teach. However, its message carries a deep meaning. The hrp ase "pay it forward" captures the spirit of the potential impact Korea Foundation fellows have/can have in and on society. Everything we do and everyone we come in contact with in our lives is touched in some way. Everything we say about Korea, especially when it comes to our particular research topics, can be influential. People DO listen to what we have to say. In the film Dead Poets Society, the Robin Williams character, an English professor, says: "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." Given the power of this so-called ripple effect (and the general power of speech), we always need to remember to aspire and be inspired to make a difference in the world.

It is very much an experiment, adapting a variety of streetmedic and non-streetmedic material for use in the new wave of protest and rebellion sweeping the United States.

  • Dibartolo European Bakery to Celebrate Grand Opening in Downtown Haddonfield
    DiBartolo European Bakery to Celebrate Grand Opening in Downtown Haddonfield Haddonfield, NJ, December 2, 2020 – DiBartolo European Bakery is pleased to announce the official Grand Opening of a second location in Haddonfield, NJ. The celebration will begin on Saturday, December 5, 2020, at 1pm with an outdoor ribbon-cutting ceremony with Haddonfield’s Deputy Mayor Jeff Kasko and Remi Fortunato, retail recruiter. The community is invited to stop by and enjoy complimentary pastries and punch from 1pm to 3pm. All who visit are asked to practice social distancing and adhere to face-covering requirements. You might recognize the DiBartolo name for the infamous custom cake creations of Al DiBartolo, Jr., a veteran of food TV shows like Food Network’s “Holiday Wars” and TLC’s “Next Great Baker, “to name a few. What began in 1969 as a family-owned and operated bakery in Pennsauken, NJ, evolved into a neighborhood staple in Collingswood, NJ, with quite a loyal following. The Collingswood location will continue to function both as a retail storefront and production bakery for custom specialty and wedding cakes. The new location will carry DiBartolo’s signature items, including Italian rum cake, pound cake, and cupcakes. In addition to these fan favorites, they’ve introduced an expansive new menu of specialty desserts, including macarons, eclairs, and new signature cakes like Mango Mousse, with layers of vanilla cake and mango mousse, and German Chocolate, layered chocolate cake with coconut filling, chocolate ganache, and toasted coconut. The intimate seating area adjacent to the glass bakery cases, packed with colorful pastries, is a perfect setting for enjoying a light lunch menu of soup, salads, and sandwiches like the Autostrada Panini with mortadella, coppa, soppressata, prosciutto cotto, fontina, pepperoncini mayo on Tuscan loaf or the Turkey, Pancetta, Avocado & Brie with fig and balsamic mayo on multigrain bread.

    Case 1:11-cv-00993-LY Document 67 Filed 09/27/12 Page 1 of 18 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FILED FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS AUSTIN DIVISION SEP 2 7 2012 CLERK U.S. RODOLFO SANCHEZ AND WESTERN DISTRICT COURT § DISTRICT 0 KRISTOPHER SLEEMAN, § PLAINTIFFS, § § V. § CAUSE NO. A-1 1-CV-993-LY § CITY OF AUSTIN, § DEFENDANT. § FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW BE IT REMEMBERED that on December 21, 2011, the court called the above-styled cause for bench trial. Plaintiffs Rodolfo Sanchez ("Sanchez") and Kristopher Sleeman ("Sleeman") and Defendant City of Austin (the "City") appeared in person or by counsel. Having carefully considered the evidence presented at trial, the parties' stipulated facts, the case law applicable to this action, the argument of counsel, and the parties' post-trial letters, the court concludes that the City's policy on issuing criminal-trespass notices violates Plaintiffs' First and Fourteenth Amendment rights under the United States Constitution. In so deciding, the court makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law.1 Jurisdiction and Venue The court has jurisdiction over this cause as Plaintiffs' claims arise under the United States Constitution and federal law. See 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Venue is proper because the underlying events giving rise to this action occurred in the Austin Division of the Western District of Texas, which is also the City's primary place of business. All findings of fact contained herein that are more appropriately considered conclusions of law are to be so deemed. Likewise, any conclusion of law more appropriately considered a finding of fact shall be so deemed.

  • 40 for 40 Master.Indd
    40 projects for 40 years Construction for Empowerment Design for Social Change 1973-2013 In 1974, Watergate caused the resignation of Richard Nixon, the fi rst sitting president in US history to do so. Mel Brooks scored two big hits: “Blazing Saddles,” starring Clevon Little as a black sheriff trying to save an all-white town from a band of “rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, bug- gerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists,” headed by Harvey Korman as “Hedley Lamar.” December saw the release of “Young Frankenstein,” Brooks’ and Gene Wilder’s affectionate parody of 1930s horror classics. Sporting some fi ne bell-bottoms, Swedish group ABBA burst onto the music scene with “Waterloo” by winning a Euro TV talent contest, while discos played Kool & the Gang’s “Jungle Boogie,” and southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd gave the world “Sweet Home Alabama.” The fl edgling AND, now a certifi ed nonprofi t, continues to defi ne com- munity needs, providing technical and space planning services with architecture student volunteers moving, painting and implementing improvements. Though funding is scarce, AND takes on projects in San Francisco Chinatown such as planning and construction supervision for a remodel of Everybody’s Bookstore; and design and building a free- standing photo display system for Asian Community Center. AND mem- bers also participate in community meetings for Chinatown Committee for Better Parks & Recreational Facilities. In SF Japantown, AND produces storefront designs and materials for the Committee Against Nihonmachi Eviction and offers space planning help to Kimochi’s Food Program.
