Special City 325Th Anniversary Float Highlights Thanksgiving Parade Thanksgiving Highlights Float Anniversary 325Th City Special Pancakes and a Parade: The Tradition Continues The History of the Jews in 9 New Rochelle Chronicled 15 com December 2013 -- Volume 9 -- Issue 12 Complimentary Special City 325th Anniversary Float Highlights Thanksgiving Parade By Stephen E. Lipken A special float, commemorating the 325th An- niversary of the City of New Rochelle highlighted the November 23 Valenti-New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade. The Grand Marshal was Domenic Procopio, Chairman of New Rochelle’s Civil Service Commission But that was only a small part of the floats, bands, antique vehicles and new to the parade, Peruvian Dancers, demonstrating the rich cultural heritage of New Rochelle. Iona College fielded a huge “Mayflow- er” display, running on bulldozer treads and sounding a horn reminiscent of a diesel locomotive whistle, as well as a giant inflatable “Killian the Gael” mascot on a float incorporating all Iona athletic teams plus the college’s renowned Bagpipe Band. Monroe College presented an elaborate float with the Statue of Liberty and two bright blue “Mustang” mascots. Chamber of Commerce featured a giant turkey; “Boss Tone” and “Sass Transit” (roller derby names) from Suburbia Roller Derby sported helmets with Chanukah dreidels and royal blue menorah. Some marchers promoted social awareness and responsibility, such as New Rochelle Humane Society, Salvation Army, American Red Cross and drum corps from Habitat for Humanity. Clowns joined the festivities, as well as midget fire truck, “Little Squirt, Engine Company 273.” Before the parade, a Pancake Breakfast was served in New Rochelle High School cafeteria. Seen outside the cafeteria was New Rochelle Fund for Educational Excellence, (www.nredfund.org) supporting projects that school budget cannot fund, from kindergarten to 12th grade. “The Thanksgiving Parade is a wonderful New Rochelle tradition. I am delighted to be here with my family and I know that we are going to see thousands of our neighbors all enjoying each other’s company,” Mayor Noam Bramson stated. The parade was sponsored through the generosity of John and Charles Valenti. Photo credit: Cristina Cerone, Photographer and Steve Lipken.

  • How Asexuality Is Represented in Popular Culture
    WHEN THE INVISIBLE BECOME VISIBLE: HOW ASEXUALITY IS REPRESENTED IN POPULAR CULTURE A Thesis submitted to the faculty of s ' San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for H the Degree rfk? Master of Arts In Human Sexuality Studies by Darren Jacob Tokheim San Francisco, California May 2018 Copyright by Darren Jacob Tokheim 2018 WHEN THE INVISIBLE BECOME VISIBLE: HOW ASEXUALITY IS REPRESENTED IN POPULAR CULTURE Darren Jacob Tokheim San Francisco, California 2018 Asexuality is largely misunderstood in mainstream society. Part of this misunderstanding is due to how asexuality has been portrayed in popular culture. This thesis is a content analysis of representations of asexual characters in popular culture, including television, film, comics, and podcasts, and how this representation has changed over time. Specifically, this work finds that early depictions of asexual characters, from the mid- 2000’s, were subjected to common negative stereotypes surrounding asexuality, and that more recent depictions, from the mid-2010’s, have treated asexuality as a valid sexual orientation worthy of attention. However, as asexuality has become more accepted, the representations of asexuality remain few and far between. I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis. 6 |2 s | | % Y Chair, Thesis Committee Date CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read When the Invisible Become Visible: How Asexuality is Represented in Popular Culture by Darren Jacob Tokheim, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in Human Sexuality Studies at San Francisco State University.

  • Westchester County and New Rochelle Background
    5. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS New Rochelle’s location on Westchester’s Long Island Sound shore places it within one of the state’s wealthiest counties. According to 1995 estimates from the United States Census Bureau, Westchester has New York’s fourth- highest median income, at $53,043. Only Putnam, Nassau, and Rockland, also New York City suburbs, and all much smaller in size than Westchester’s 443 square miles, has a greater median income. 5.1.1 WESTCHESTER COUNTY: HISTORY As shown in the map at left, Westchester County borders, on its south, the New York City borough of the Bronx. According to historian Frank E. Sanchis, this location at New York City’s doorstep has “always put it in the center of activity relative to the balance of the nation.” Indeed, Westchester’s development has historically been fueled by its proximity to what has been, since 1820, America’s largest city. Before the days of railroads or highways, Westchester had the trade routes of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. In the 18th century, the primitive post roads to Albany and Boston were cut through Westchester’s rolling, wooded hills. When New York City’s population boomed after the 1825 completion of the Erie Canal, Westchester furnished many of the city’s raw and finished goods. Iron foundries were located throughout the county, and Westchester’s numerous brickyards and marble quarries provided the materials for the thousands of row houses and monumental new institutional buildings spreading across Manhattan. When Newgate Prison in Greenwich Village was no longer adequate, it was replaced in 1828 by Sing Sing, “up the river” in Westchester County.
