Making Sense of the Eighth Over Garbage THE OF AUTUMN mCo mmunity Newspaper Company www.townonline.com/allstonbrighton SEPTEMBER 8 - 14, 1998 Vol. 3, No. 21 II 88 Pages • Two Sections 50¢ Grouchy Making sense of the Eighth over garbage Yearly trash problem has residents split qver city citations By Linda Rosencrance TAB Staff Writer t's September and that means two things to residents of Allston I and Brighton - the return of college students and tons of trash - heaps and heaps of the stuff, littering front lawns, blocking sidewalks and spilling out on lo the streets. Old mattresses, chairs, sofas, tables, desks, crates and bags on top of bags of who-knows-what are left behind by last year's contingent of students, no longer wanted by the new tenants. For as long as anyone can remember residents and city offi­ cials have been trying to figure out ways Lo keep the lid on the situation. Unhappy residents say they have only one option - call the city's Code Enforcement Office and com­ plain about particularly disgusting areas. Inspectors from that office f:tien go out and issue tickets - that carry fines with them for various infractions - to the offending prop­ erty owner. The city figures that by hitting the landlords in their pocketbooks, maybe they'll change their ways and make more of an effort to let their tenants know how to properly dis­ pose of the trash. And it seems to be working, said James Cahill, directorof Code Enforcement.

This time, on June 25, it’ll be to choose John Kerry’s successor. US Rep. Ed Markey, a Malden Democrat, and newcomer Gabriel Gomez, a Cohasset Republican, are the two candidates on the ballot, survivors of the April 30 primary that winnowed the fields on either side. The public’s interest in the special election – set in motion in December when Kerry was tapped as President Obama’s chief diplomat – has been sluggish by most accounts. Voter listlessness was on display on Sunday at Roxbury Community College where the candidates faced off in a forum put together by MassVOTE Elizabeth Seton Academy’s class of 2013 posed for a photo outside of the school on Thurs., May and other groups.

Smith Professor Emeritus of Exercise and Sport Science iii Abstract Stadium construction has occurred at record-breaking level in major metropolitan areas of the United States in the last decade. This dissertation traces media coverage of stadium construction policy throughout the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, focusing specifically on newspaper coverage of this issue. The hypothesis that media practitioners in smaller metropolitan areas will be more likely to privilege voices supporting new stadium construction is examined. The case study method is utilized and content analysis is employed to determine media coverage trends in major American metropolitan areas. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are examined as small market cities, while Boston and New York are explored as larger market cities. Evidence is provided that larger markets adopt a more critical position than small market cities regarding new stadium construction in newspaper opinion content. Large market publications are similar to smaller market counterparts in providing greater opportunity for expression to pro-stadium voices.

  • Boston Neighborhood Network Dear Friends
    Transition Years 2007–2012 Boston Neighborhood Network Dear Friends “As I approach 3025 Washington Street to go to work, I picture this scene years ago when the Orange Line was running—tracks high above the street, the train rattling out of Egleston Station past a grand old building that looked like a church on the outside, but on the inside housed massive converters to power the trains,” reflects Curtis Henderson, BNN General Manager. This imposing edifice, vital to the community since 1909, was left vacant when the elevated train tracks were torn down and created a stain on the neighborhood. But today we are part of something different—a beautifully rehabilitated building that has preserved its architectural integrity and brought it into the 21st century with green technology—a building alive with learning, creating and sharing—BNN’s home, the Charles J. Beard II Media Center. Youth and seniors and everyone in between, from every corner of the city, use this state-of-the art media center to learn the latest communications technology and to create TV program- ming they share on our channels and on our website. Our mobile production truck, parked in our backyard, cruises the city covering events in every community Board of Directors and our satellite dish on the roof of the building brings down programming of interest to Bostonians. Boston Neighborhood Network News celebrated its 25th year FY 2007 – 2012 on BNN’s News and Information channel and is going stronger than ever, with web-streamed programs and a dynamic companion website. Kenan Bigby It took hard work, dedication and perseverance from people who care about the revitalization of a neighborhood, who care about bridging the digital divide and who care about preserving our first amendment rights to complete this project and we thank them all: our Board of Directors, staff, members, partners, supporters, col- Reebee Garofalo laborators and funders.

The network of family, friends, colleagues, students, and mentors who have inspired, supported, challenged, and refined it is broad. There are, of course, countless people who have influenced it in subtle ways. But there are also many who have influenced it much more directly.

His close reading of my work—from my first year at Texas to the final word of my dissertation—was invaluable. I can hardly express how grateful I am for that. I was further blessed by the influence of others at the university, as examples of both committed teaching and vibrant scholarship.
