  • Exhibit Opens at Nightshade Dump Defiance. North Country Residents

    A1 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Exhibit Opens At Nightshade THURSDAY, JULY 22, 2021 Page 12 Cyan Magenta Yellow Yellow Black Dump Defiance. North Country Residents Urge State To Deny Landfill Wetlands Permit.Page 2 A2 2 The Record Thursday, July 22, 2021 North Country Residents Urge State To Deny Landfill Wetlands Permit BY ROBERT BLECHL Staff Writer WHITEFIELD — Residents from across the North Country turned out on July 14 to urge the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to deny a wetlands permit sought by Casella Waste Systems for a 137-acre landfill in Dalton. Prior to the DES hearing at White Mountains Regional High School to gather public input on the permit, some 125 residents with protest signs held a rally in front of the school to oppose the landfill and permit. Inside the school auditorium, an upward of 300 residents gath- ered. The vast majority opposed a granting of the permit, with some speaking citing the fines and violations Casella has incurred through the years in operating its landfill in Bethlehem and land- fills in other states. A large number, too, voiced distrust of the company’s environ- mental record and its ability to safely operate a landfill, and some were dubious that Casella would stop at 137 acres when it seeks to buy 1,900 acres of land beside Forest Lake State Park. Others noted that the 17 acres of wetlands and loss of five vernal pools would be the largest destruction of wetlands in New Hamp- shire in a decade. Cyan A few residents also took aim at DES and questioned the depart- ment’s willingness to abide by its mission statement to protect the environment and the state’s wetlands.
  • The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin' “If You're Going

    The Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin' “If You're Going

    The Mamas and the Papas – California dreamin’ “If you’re going to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair” (John Phillips) 1.Els autors Influenciat per la “Generació Beat”, a mitjan anys 60 té lloc a San Francisco l’eclosió del moviment hippy. En la seva vessant musical, aquest nou moviment apostava decididament per una línia contestatària i subversiva, tant musicalment com en el contingut dels textos de les cançons, ara carregats de missatge. A partir d’aquest moment, la música passa a ser el mitjà d’expressió de la joventut, de la seva angoixa i del seu desig d’un altre món més lliure i just. I també de la crida per la pau, just en un moment de gran rebuig a la guerra del Vietnam. Els hippys predicaven l’evasió, la fugida (també a través de les drogues) d’un món i d’una societat incomprensibles. Els seus profetes literaris van ser Kerouac i Ginsberg. I entre els musics més significatius que van transmetre aquest missatge trobem The Mamas and the Papas. The Mamas and the Papas va ser una de les principals formacions de folk-pop sorgides a mitjan anys 60. Conjuntament amb altres grups, com ara Byrds, Beach Boys o Turtles, van omplir les llistes d’èxits de l’època amb cançons carregades de cors harmònics. El segell identificatiu del grup va ser la barreja de veus masculines (John Phillips i Denny Doherty) i femenines (Michelle Phillips i Cass Elliott) i la combinació de lletres sòlides amb arranjaments dels millors músics californians del moment.

Thank-you John for a very enjoyable book.By Mic DAs a teen in 1969 and growing up listening to Janis and all the bands of the 60's and 70's, this book was very enjoyable to read.If you ever wondered what it might be like to be a road manager for Janis Joplin, John Byrne Cooke answers it all.Those were extra special days for all of us and John's descriptions of his experiences, helps to bring back our memories.Thank-you John for a very enjoyable book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

    There’s a New Starship on Earth - Literally! CDR Doug Hogan • Shuttle Maverick, R3 Other than your architecture, is there anything that makes your restaurant special? This is a fun destination. We offer a wide variety of food but we also offer lots of activities to do. Along with miniature golf, we’ve got one of the best 129 gaming systems around. JULY 2005/ I noticed your X-Box wall. AUGUST 2005 We’ve got multiple fl at-screen X-Box systems, arcade games, and the ability to project the games on the outside of the dome, resulting in a unique gaming experience! We also have astronomy lectures and even a puppet show for the little ones. We realize our customers’ interests are varied so we try to have something for just about everyone. The proposed complex has educational features. How important is that to the overall design of the Pegasus? It’s very important. We want to offer a place to challenge kids’ creativity. Kids need to be able to “think outside the box” and not get bogged down in just learning how to do a certain kind of academic test. We want to help expand their imagination, so yes, the concept of education is very important to us. Have you had contact with Sci-Fi fans? Andy Gee and his wife, Janne, have gone “…where kinds of entrees available, from pizzas to hot and We’ve had lots of coverage in the local media no one has gone before.” They’ve gone into the cold subs, to wraps, to salads.

On behalf of the CMEA Central Coast Section Board of Directors, congratulations to the top young musicians from four counties - Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz, who perform today and to those who made the extraordinary effort to audition for these high caliber ensembles. Our Honors Concerts are the largest events we produce annu- ally, building cohesion of pedagogy in the art form and establishing a high standard for music education within our section. Students are able to expand their study of music with the support of their communities, families, teachers and school administrators by auditioning or participating in this event. Thank you for valuing arts education by supporting a young person’s journey to this stage. Each note represents the hard work and dedication of the student musicians as well as the people behind them who help see potential and value in this life long skill that preserves culture and tradition. The guest conductors have selected and prepared some challenging and engaging repertoire while winning the respect and hearts of our Central Coast students and educators. Our students have built new connections with peer musicians and have grown as young adults while preparing for this event -- all in less than 48 hours! Thorough preparation by the conductors and teachers, and diligent work done by the students combine to bring an extra sense of refinement to the concert.
