Summer is here and it is time to close things down, but so much has happened the past month. Autism Awareness Month, Aware Fare and Ray’s Splash Planet were only a few weeks ago from this writing. These events could yield a story all by themselves. Several positive things happened during Autism Aware Fare. Aside from restaurants overflowing with happy people, donating much needed money, radio interviews, and commercials, Aware Fare provided other important opportunities. The restaurant we dined at for supper was not overly full; I have seen it packed on Friday nights with people jamming the buffet area, especially on “Game Night”. What was special this night was that four families with children on the spectrum were dining out at the same time. He could have been disappointed that the crowd had chosen to go elsewhere, but the manager was beaming as he watched us socialize with one another between munching on pizza and redirecting our kids. The look on his face showed that his heart was full from serving us. How often does he have the chance to share his world with those who rarely get to experience it? None of us were “regulars” and he did not make any extra that night, but some things money can’t buy. I am glad I was able to witness the benefit of our presence. Some of you may be aware of another benefit of “awareness.” Unless you have a student at McAlpine or you are employed by CMS, you may not be aware of the special project undertaken by McAlpine Elementary Fifth Grade Teacher, Mr. John McDonald. As part of their Language Arts assignment for April, Mr. McDonald’s students read, Rules, by Cynthia Lord, which is a story about a young girl’s feelings as she learns to live with her autistic brother. Students read and discussed the novel and spent time in the self-contained autistic classes mentoring students in reading comprehension and helping with occupational therapy. Goals for the students included: gaining a better understanding of autism, realizing that all people learn differently, and understanding that all people deserve acceptance. By working with the author and the self-contained autism teachers, this was a memorable project. Both typical and autistic students found it to be an incredible experience. What a great way to build awareness! What a wonderful teacher! What a wonderfull, supportive administration! The fruits of our labor with Aware Fare last year paid off this year as we were able to rent Ray’s Splash Planet for a private party at the end of last month. We had a good number of families enjoying our private rental with about one hundred people in all. Ray’s was noisy as usual, but not overly crowded. No lines for the lazy river or the water slide. No one had to wait their turn to shoot the water gun or get drowned by the deluge from the dumping buckets. It is always so nice to see our families enjoying themselves. Time with the friends we don’t often get to enjoy is a treat. Yes, there were several kids playing in the water with hands over ears, but most all had a smile on their face too. Some wonderful pictures were taken, which we would love to share. If your picture was taken and you have not received a copy, please send me an e-mail so that we can get you a copy. Also, we hope to add an event photo gallery to our website. For those who would not mind sharing pictures for web-site posting, please contact me as well. Yes, summer is here. It is time to put down the keyboard and go have some fun. I hope to see you around Charlotte, at the pool, or even better at the beach! We have tried hard to create some social networks for our families this year so that we have a stronger network of support for ourselves and our kids. Make good use of them. If you would like to join in, just send me an e-mail or call. Have a splendid time this summer enjoying the sweetness that our children have to offer!

    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography.

  • CENTER CITY: the Business District and the Original Four Wards
    THE CENTER CITY: The Business District and the Original Four Wards By Dr. Thomas W. Hanchett The history of Charlotte's Center City area is largely a story of what is no longer there. The grid of straight streets that lies within today's innermost expressway loop was the whole of Charlotte less than one hundred years ago. Today it contains a cluster of skyscrapers, three dozen residential blocks, and a vast area of vacant land with only scattered buildings. This essay will trace the Center City's development, then look at the significant pre-World War II structures remaining in each of the area's four wards. The Center City has experienced three distinct development phases as Charlotte has grown from a village to a town to a major city. In the first phase, the area was the entire village. It was what geographers term a "walking city," arranged for easy pedestrian movement with the richest residents living the shortest walk to the commercial core. This era lasted from settlement in 1753 through the 1880s. In 1891 the new electric trolley system transformed Charlotte into a "streetcar city" with new suburbs surrounding the old village. In the old Center City the commercial core expanded, clustered around the trolley crossroads at Independence Square. Residence continued to be important, and the area continued to grow in population, but now the wealthy moved outward to the suburbs and the middle class and poor moved inward. In the 1930s and 1940s the automobile replaced the trolley as Charlotte's prime people mover, and the Center City changed again.

  • Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.
