Acquisitions will be voluntary. Closings will begin in August, with all property acquisitions completed by December 2013. Assuming all of the most recent 17 properties participate, the City will potentially have acquired 48 of the most at-risk properties. As with past purchases, the lots will be cleared and permanently preserved as open spaces. The resulting preserve is designed to provide additional flood protection for the remaining homes in the vicinity of the creek. The area will also serve as a contemplative area where residents will be provided with the opportunity to donate trees in memory or honor of loved ones. In addition to securing federal and state grants to buy the most flood-prone properties, the City has also initiated a variety of additional measures to minimize the flood threat along the Pleasant Run Creek.

However, the Public Utilities Department is already looking years ahead to not only avoid service interruptions, but also to plan for major repairs that will be necessary in the future. Since Fairfield’s public utilities are largely self-funded by those using the system, advance planning will ensure the department is financially prepared for future updates. Last year, the City contracted with O’Brien and Gere Engineering to help develop a capital asset plan that will serve as a guide when the Plan reviews help identify areas that may be a problem years from now.

  • Riverside Label Discography
    Discography of the Riverside Label The Riverside label was established in 1953 by traditional jazz enthusiasts Bill Grauer and Orrin Keepnews in New York City. Originally Grauer and Keepnews intended to reissue classic jazz that they purchased from long defunct labels. Later the label recorded jazz, folk, comedy, spoken word, sound effects, children’s and gospel. Shortly after starting the Riverside label, Grauer went to Richmond Indiana, to see Harry Gennett Jr. to try to purchase the recordings of the Gennett label. The Gennett Record label was formed in 1918 as a division of the Starr Piano Company in Richmond Indiana. In the early 20’s, the label started recording the early jazz bands that were performing in Chicago. Gennett made the first recordings of Ferd “Jellyroll” Morton, King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band with Louis Armstrong and the Wolverines with Bix Beiderecke. The first recording of “Stardust” was made by its author Hoagy Carmichael in the Gennett Richmond studio The Gennett label had ceased operation in 1932, but many of the historic metal recording plates were still stored in Richmond. Grauer was able to purchase all of the remaining plates for $2000. Grauer began a massive reissue campaign, releasing much of the Gennett material on long playing albums for the first time. Later, Grauer obtained masters from other early jazz and blues labels, including Paramount, Circle, and QRS, and reissued that material. Although the early catalog of Riverside releases contained mostly purchased material, Riverside started recording jazz sessions on its own, including Thelonious Monk, Randy Weston, Wes Montgomery and Cannonball Adderley.

  • Benny Golson
    1 The TENORSAX of BENNY GOLSON Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: April 8, 2016 2 Born: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jan. 25, 1929 Introduction: We always appreciated Benny Golson’s warm tenor saxophone sound and soon realized he was one of the major soloists on his instrument in the period 1955-1965. Later he visited Norway several times. Early history: Studied piano at 9 and switched to tenorsax at 14. Attended Harvard University in Washington and stated to gig around Philadelphia late 40's. Numerous recordings in Philadelphia ca. 1950 under the leadership of Tiny Grimes and Jimmy Preston. Left Philadelphia with Bull Moose Jackson 1951. This band included Tadd Dameron who encouraged him to study arranging and composing. Two years later he played in a band led by Dameron. Left Dameron to join Lionel Hampton (1953). Several short stays with Johnny Hodges 1954, Earl Bostic 1954-56’ but began to make a name for himself as a member of Dizzy Gillespie’s orchestra (1956-57). With Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers (1958-59). He then worked as a freelance in New York and studied with the composer Henry Brant. From 1959 to 1962, with Art Farmer, he was the leader of the Jazztet, a group with varying personnel that proved a successful vehicle for Golson’s writing. Message: Benny Golson was an important composer and arranger, it is enough to mention “Stablemates”, “I Remember Clifford”, Whisper Not?”, “Along Came Betty”, “Blues March” and “Are You Real?”. However, this fact and the results are outside this tenor saxophone solography. 3 BENNY GOLSON SOLOGRAPHY TINY GRIMES / BENNY GOLDSON AND HIS ROCKIN' HIGHLANDERS Philadelphia, 1950 Benny Golson (ts), Freddie Redd (p), Tiny Grimes (g), Ike Isaacs (b), unknown (dm), George "Haji Baba" Grant (vo).

Although directed by Gregory Doran, the star attraction and creative force behind this event was Antony Sher, a celebrity actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company and a luminary in the United Kingdom’s South African expatriate community. Johannesburg theatre audiences initially welcomed Sher’s self-described “homecoming” and the prestige his performance of Shakespeare would bestow upon that city’s traditional Anglophile elite. For his part, Sher saw this event as a stepping stone towards repatriation and the beginning of a more ambitious career as a South African public intellectual. These mutual expectations were disappointed, however, when Johannesburg critics and audiences responded unfavorably to the actual staging of Titus, which featured South African stage accents instead of traditional Received Pronunciation. After Sher publicly countered public antipathy by writing a column accusing Johannesburgers of “philistinism,” a bitter quarrel erupted on editorial pages of both South African and British newspapers.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Feeling the Crowd
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Feeling the Crowd: Affective Responses to Crowd Violence in Africa American Fiction A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Brandy Underwood 2017 © Copyright by Brandy Underwood 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Feeling the Crowd: Affective Responses to Crowd Violence in African American Fiction by Brandy Underwood Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Richard A. Yarborough, Chair “Feeling the Crowd” uses affect theory to analyze representations of middle-class responses to the modern black violent crowd in African American fiction. My project demonstrates that writers ranging from Ralph Ellison in Invisible Man (1952) to Walter Mosley in Little Scarlet (2005) have continuously portrayed black middle-class anxiety in relation to perceived leadership gaps in the collective African American community brought to light by images of black collective violence. Echoing Hazel Carby’s Race Men and Erica Edwards’s Charisma and the Fiction of Black Leadership, I argue that these writers problematize gendered notions of black leadership while they explore anxieties triggered by crowds. I turn to recent work in affect studies to explore these class-based anxieties, in particular Sianne Ngai’s Ugly ii Feelings, which offers a critical lexicon that allows me to attend to both the individual emotions and the collective affective responses that characterize my subject. While past scholarship on the black crowd in literature tends to focus solely on the collective body, my work, which attempts to recover lesser known novels in conjunction with more canonical texts, offers a fresh approach that considers the individual response to such violence.
