Parks-And-Rec.Pdf Table of Contents ________________________________________ Letter from the Director…………………………………………………....2 - 3 Watch Guide / Favorite Episodes……………………………………….......3 - 4 Overview…………………………………...………………………...............5 - 6 Characters / Portfolio Powers…………….…………………………….....6 - 14 Parks and Recreation Welcome to Pawnee, Indiana, home to the Parks and Recreation department run by Ron Swanson (but really, it's all thanks to Deputy Director Leslie Knope). A small town that serves as Everytown, USA, Pawnee has problems, from its obesity crisis to the raccoon infestation to the corrupt Sweetums Candy Company dominating the economy. But no problem is too big or small to be solved by Pawnee local government. This committee begins at season 6, right when the pretentious town of Eagleton goes bankrupt and the merger begins. Will Leslie be recalled as city councilwoman? What will happen with Rent-A-Swag? How will two towns that have lived as sworn enemies integrate? From Ron to Donna to Ben to Ann to Garry-Jerry-Larry-Terry, it's up to Pawnee's Department of Parks and Recreation to save the merger--and perhaps the town itself. 1 Letter from the Director ________________________________________ Delegates, Welcome! It is my privilege to welcome you to FCMUN as your crisis director. Last year, I was the crisis director for the Democratic National Committee and it was a blast, ending in Chance the Rapper being declared Emperor of my home city of Chicago, Bill De Blasio annihilating Trump Tower with the help of his assistant Kim Kardashian, and Bernie leading a secession movement for the northeast states. I can’t wait to see you all plot and solve more crazy crises. About me? I’m originally from an average suburb of Chicago that is sometimes eerily similar to Pawnee. I may go to school on the east coast, but I’m thoroughly convinced midwest is best . I’m majoring in economics and film, which means I definitely go to a liberal arts college. My TV queue is primarily The Office and It’s Always Sunny, but I have a host of favorites, from The West Wing to Veep to Arrested Development to Sex and the City to Law and Order SVU to Riverdale to Dexter...and on and on it goes. I find television has become, in recent years, a playground for genre experimentation and sharp visual humor and effect where mainstream film has largely been lagging due to franchise fatigue and uninspired comedies. (2017 in film did give me some hope, however. If you haven’t seen Lady Bird , what are you waiting for?) What leaves P&R near and dear to my heart is how it presents a diverse cast in a way that never feels forced or after-school-special-y, while still acknowledging their personal struggles and culture. Additionally, in an age where everyone is focused on Congress and the Presidency, it brings local government to the forefront, with all its victories and failures and corruption and bureaucracy. Local city council elections are as exciting as presidential campaigns, the tiniest of citizen requests is the arc of the entire series, and the bankruptcy of a municipality can be as riveting as a royal power struggle with dragons. The characters have outside lives and dreams that are explored in full, from Tom’s entrepreneurship to April’s apathy transforming to...feelings thanks to Andy, who started the series living in the pit after being dumped by Ann and by our committee’s beginning is a popular children’s singer on the side of working as Leslie’s assistant. I can honestly say I love every one of the Parks Department employees equally, they are like my children. 2 A note on preparation for this committee--you cannot walk into the committee room without having watched the show before. And why would you want to be excluded from all the inside references and chaotic fun we have awaiting you? But if this is your first time ever encountering the series, my recommendations will help you watch. (See the next page). This has been my dream committee since I began my collegiate MUN career and after the incredible experience I had as crisis director last year, I have every faith this will be everything I dreamed of--and more. I look forward to seeing you all in March! Do not hesitate to email me with any questions you have. Best, Amelia Benich [email protected] Watch Guide ________________________________________ Parks and Recreation is available on Netflix or Hulu with a subscription. 1 1. Skip Seasons 1 and 7. They are irrelevant to the committee. 2. A week of binge watching could theoretically get you through the series. Check http://bingeclock.com if you want a calculator. 3. Under each character profile that has been assigned is a list of episodes. These episodes are picked either because your character has a relevant and substantial arc or because there are scenes that will give you an excellent sense of your character’s persona. 4. Also check out the episodes I list below. I classify them under “favorites”. They all have a special place in my heart. They likely overlap with some of your character’s. 5. You don’t need to watch the entire series to get what’s going on in committee. Make sure you’re baseline comfortable with the characters and setting and then focus on your crisis arc and strategy in room. This is supposed to be fun! 1 “How is Season 1 irrelevant?” you may ask. Well, in the history of the show, Season 2 is essentially a reboot. After trying to recreate The Office’s “cringe humor” in a new setting, the ratings were poor and the jokes fell flat. However, Daniels & Schnur as well as Amy Poehler managed to secure a second season for the show, where they hired new writers who would end up becoming the staple writing room for the rest of the series. 3 Favorite Episodes ________________________________________ Season 2, Episode 1 “Pawnee Zoo” Season 4, Episode 20 “The Debate” Season 2, Episode 22 “Telethon” Season 5, Episode 2 “Soda Tax” Season 2, Episode 23 “The Master Plan” Season 5, Episode 4 “Sex Education” Season 3, Episode 2 “Flu Season” Season 5, Episode 10 “Two Parties” Season 3, Episode 3 “Time Capsule” Season 5, Episode 11 “Women in Garbage” Season 3, Episode 4 “Ron and Tammy, Pt 2” Season 5, Episode 13 “Emergency Response” Season 3, Episode 7 “Harvest Festival” Season 5, Episode 21 “Swing Vote” Season 3, Episode 13 “The Fight” Season 6, Episode 1 + 2 “London Season 3, Episode 14 “Road Trip” Season 6, Episode 4 “Dopplegangers” Season 4, Episode 4 “Pawnee Rangers” Season 6, Episode 5 “Gin it Up!” Season 4, Episode 6 “End of the World” Season 6, Episode 8 “Fluoride” Season 4, Episode 9 “The Trial...Knope” Season 6, Episode 14 “Anniversaries” Season 4, Episode 13 “Bowling for Votes” Season 6, Episode 19 “Flu Season 2” Season 4, Episode 14 “Operation Ann” 4 Overview ________________________________________ Welcome to Pawnee, Indiana, a town so special, it feels like home no matter what suburb you grew up in. Historically, Pawnee was born out of settler-native conflicts between the Wamapoke Tribe of Native Americans and the white settlers from the East. In 1817, Pawnee was officially established as a town, and within six months the wealthy residents divorced to form their own town on the top of the hill, Eagleton. The two towns have had a bitter feud ever since, with the annual high school basketball matchup being an event complete with bets, fist fights, and sore losing, no matter what the outcome is. Unlike most midwestern towns, the indigenous Wamapoke still hold a presence in Pawnee and refused to be pushed onto a reservation in the time of Andrew Jackson. Because of this, Ken Hotate is both a tribal elder and a major figure in the town, with his business and cultural influence so strong that it could cause the government to shut down. The Wamapoke Casino is right behind Sweetums in terms of influence over the Pawnee economy. Speaking of which, the Sweetums Candy Corporation was established at the beginning of the 20th Century in Pawnee. In the beginning of the documentary Parks & Recreation, the town employs around half of the town in its Indiana factories and business offices, but as the documentary continues, it loses employment shares to new businesses like Rent-A-Swag, Entertainment 720, Regal Meagle Real Estate, and more. Sweetums is a public health nightmare, known for its affinity for high fructose corn syrup and misleading commercials claiming health benefits where there are none. Undoubtedly, it is a major cause of the public health nightmare facing Pawnee--obesity. Pawnee’s slogan at the start of the documentary is “First in Friendship, Fourth in Obesity”. Paunchburger is the most popular restaurant, advertising a “child-size” soda, which is literally the size of a small child, liquified (512 oz). Sweetums advertises NutriYUM bars, the solid equivalent of a Redbull. Residents seem to be largely uneducated on health matters, with one resident asking in a town forum “If sugar is so bad for you, why did Jesus make it taste so good?” The farmers look to sexy lingerie models to advertise chard, knowing that nobody in the town would buy chard on their own volition. The health crisis sustains the local hospital, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, which employs many, including local nurse Ann Perkins. 5 The local government of Pawnee is somewhat incompetent, having been audited by the state government in 2010 for a massive budget shortage. However, no such incompetence comes from Leslie Knope, deputy director of Parks and Recreation.

  • Benefits of a Strong Parks and Recreation System
    A STRONG PARK AND RECREATION SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL FOR A THRIVING COMMUNITY Four out of five North Americans use their local recreation and park system. 70% have a park or recreation facility within walking distance of their home. Our parks are such a stable influence on our lives that we tend not to give them much thought. But our effective parks and recreation facilities do not just happen on their own. They require professional care and financial support to keep them clean, safe and suitable for the community they serve. HEALTH BENEFITS: Access to parks and recreation facilities leads to healthy lifestyles for people of all ages. Strong evidence shows that when people have access to parks, they exercise more. Every time sedentary people walk a mile, they add 21 minutes to their life. On average, every hour you spend exercising increases your life expectancy by two hours. Exercise increases the brain’s capacity for learning. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS: Parks, open spaces and trails play a key role in preserving water and air quality, reducing congestion and protecting wildlife. Through the provision of parks, open spaces and protected natural environment, recreation can contribute to the environmental health of our communities. Trail and pathway systems save energy and protect air quality by encouraging non-motorized transportation. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: Parks and Recreation sources give communities a vital identity. Well- maintained, accessible parks and recreation facilities are key elements of strong, safe, family-friendly communities. When citizens get involved with their parks and recreation systems, their quality of life improves. Parks and recreation opportunities encourage citizens to be engaged in their communities – as volunteers, stewards, advocates and students.

  • Successful Communication in the Workplace 1
    Successful Communication in the Workplace 1 Leslie Knope of Parks and Recreation: Successful Communication in the Workplace November 28, 2016 Leslie Knope 2 Introduction According to Genderlect Styles, a theory by Deborah Tannen, women traditionally communicate for relationship while men communicate for power. In order to work past oppression in the workplace, women have had to adjust their communication style to communicate for power vs. relationship, but often receive negative attention for it. Are male communication styles for power the only way to gain success in the workplace today? The television show, Parks and Recreation, shows a good example of a character, Leslie Knope, who exemplifies both types of communication: communicating for power and relationship. She takes a lot of time to invest in her friends and usually, as a comedic element of the series, wants everyone to like her and everyone to be happy, but this usually causes more harm than good. She learns throughout the series that her success comes from her care for her friends and her town while commanding power to stand out as a leader in order to rise in politics. Can success only be gained when we communicate for power instead of relationships? I will look to answer the question of how television series, films, and the media depict “successful” communication practices for women in the workplace by analyzing the character of Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation. My literature review will discuss how the media portrays women, and what truth these depictions hold for women in the working world. Literature Review A large portion of research done on this topic discusses how prominent female roles in our media are scrutinized, and how positive female roles of women in power are generally underrepresented.

  • “Joyful Noise” Reverend Bill Gause Overbrook Presbyterian Church 22Nd Sunday in Ordinary Time September 2, 2018 First Script
    “Joyful Noise” Reverend Bill Gause Overbrook Presbyterian Church 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time September 2, 2018 First Scripture Lesson: Psalm 100 1Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. 2Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing. 3Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. 5For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Second Scripture Lesson: Psalm 150 1Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! 2Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness! 3Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 6Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Sermon: Joyful Noise Music is an amazing and powerful thing. It is ubiquitous in our human experience touching almost every part of our lives across every era of human history. In his book, This is Your Brain on Music, author Daniel Levitin writes: “… Whenever humans come together for any reason, music is there, …. weddings, funerals, graduation from college, men marching off to war, stadium sporting events, a night on the town, prayer, a romantic dinner, mothers rocking their infants to sleep and college students studying with music as a background … music is and [always] was part of the fabric of everyday life.”1 Considering the benefits music contributes to our well-being and our cultural and social identity, you could rank it right up there with fire and the wheel as among the most versatile and creative developments in human history; and just as ancient.
