The Township continues to collaborate with Duquesne Light to improve the streetlights in the Township. Duquesne Light offers a program in which they will switch out inefficient HPS (high-pressure sodium) streetlights with more efficient and brighter LED streetlights. This program requires these lights to be in a contiguous location, allows for the replacement of a minimum of 10 lights per year and offers the ability to add more if available. While there is an initial cost for each light switchover, ulti- mately the cost savings will be realized in the electricity saved and less required maintenance. With this program, we are work- ing from the outside borders of the Township into the center. This year we are concentrating on the area from the Beaver County line on Route 30 including Clinton-Frankfort Road and In April, Jerry Horn Construction started construction on Hebron Road. the Municipal Building Addition.

  • Issue 10 July 2021 Angel City Review Foreword
    Issue 10 July 2021 Angel City Review FOREWORD Hello, friends. We here at Angel City Review extend to you our warmest greetings and our most heart- felt gratitude. To say that you all have persisted through trying times is an understatement, and we thank you for yet again sharing your time and energy and creativity and perspectives with us in ways that cannot help but facilitate our growth as people. What follows is Issue 10, a wonderful collection of art that digs into the essence of the human experience, celebrating its joys and speaking truth to its agonies. I do not think it hyperbole to suggest that we live in harlequin days, where each of our individ- ual humanities are more recognized and validated than ever before, and where they are under constant attack from power structures that can only react with violence toward the threat of empathy. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I believe literature is a vital and essential exchange and recognition of perspectives beyond our own, and I believe such a lifeline of communication is profoundly necessary in our era. Hopefully, this collection will play some small part in keeping that line open, in helping you make that connection to others that can feel and love as you do. To all of the brilliant authors who submitted, thank you. We were blessed with an abundance of true quality, and have no doubt your talent should and will be recognized. And to everyone, thank you for all your hard work, not just in terms of your literature, but especially with regards to the very act of persisting, of being a guiding light for someone, even if you have yet to realize it.

    R e f l e c t i o n S t a t e m e n t: A Multitude of Methods to Evade the Truth “I will never understand people. They’re the worst.” 1 Whilst Seinfeld 2 was hailed for its exploration of the minutiae of every- day life, the contemporary form of reality television has eschewed exploration of the inherent, intricate tensions in society, instead preferring to paint in broad, haphazard strokes. Growing up, I questioned why I could merely remember a hazy vision of characters from reality television, none of whom resembled myself, whilst my favourite show, Seinfeld, presented distinctive, inimitable voices. Over the past year, I have scrutinised this concept, understanding that reality television idealises the mundane, squandering the potential for diverse role models to evolve within the medium. My Major Work aims to expose the manipulation prevalent in the genre, 1 “The Face Painter.” Seinfeld. NBC, New York City. 11 May, 1995. Television. 2 David, Larry and Seinfeld, Jerry (Creators). (1989). Seinfeld. NBC, New York City. Television. whilst exploring the psychological ramifications of character portrayals in contemporary media. A satirical mirroring of the techniques utilised within the reality television genre is employed, heightening my criticism of the medium. Its greater purpose is thus to explore the relationship between composers and audiences, revealing the distortion of individual perceptions of society that stems from this, an insight attained through the lens of ‘reality TV’. Reflecting the genre, the work appeals to varying demographics. Those who simply have a love of fiction, intrigued by tone and experimentation, gain an insight into the reality television genre, whilst academics will appreciate the necessity and complexity of the decisions regarding this inventiveness.

  • Communication Through Seinfeld in 1989, Comedian Jerry Seinfeld And
    Communication through Seinfeld In 1989, comedian Jerry Seinfeld and his friend, Larry David, created a sitcom called Seinfeld and within its 180 episodes, Seinfeld illustrates every possible problem modern people face. Seinfeld was pitched as 'a show about nothing,' a show that would parody the lives of four adults living in New York City. The main characters of Seinfeld are Jerry Seinfeld, co- writer and creator of the show, Elaine Benes, Jerry's ex-girlfriend, Cosmo Kramer, Jerry's neighbor, and George Costanza, Jerry's best friend. Through nine years of airtime, Seinfeld has touched base on every aspect of life, comedy, romance, sex, sports, religion, and sociology, and somehow made all of these aspects humorous. Through this semester in Communication 200, we have studied the five units, or lenses, that are the foundations of communication theories. These lenses include: interpersonal communication, group and public communication, persuasion, mass communication, and cultural context. Although these lenses contain many theories of communication, Seinfeld can be used as a tool to help illustrate the majority of these theories. Since I've been a viewer of Seinfeld since I can remember, I thought my knowledge of the sitcom would never get me anywhere past scoring a point on Trivial Pursuit, but through learning communication theories, I see Seinfeld as an excellent way to illustrate and explain communication. The first unit we looked at as a class was a general overview of communication and how to study the theories we would be looking at for the rest of the semester. Theories fall between two different approaches, the objective and interpretive.
