Southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the South Coast took the brunt of this storm. At one point, almost 80% of the Town was without power and it took almost four days after the storm ended for everyone to have their power restored. Despite these difficulties, Dartmouth fared better than some other communities. Thanks to the efforts of Rep. Markey, the Select Board, and myself, Dartmouth was able to have an Nstar representative attend the Emergency Operations Center meetings starting on Sunday and we hope that Nstar will consider doing this in the future as it allowed us to have Nstar focus on the most critical public safety and public health issues and often focus on areas with the largest number of outages. Dartmouth Police and Fire Districts personnel assisted many individuals and even transported some individuals to the Town’s shelter. Dartmouth was fortunate to have one of few shelters in the area that was staffed around the clock thanks to Civil Preparedness Director Ed Pimental and his volunteers many of whom were Town employees. Additionally, DPW worked during the storm to keep

No information is available on her formative years other than she attended a boarding school in Berkeley during her teens. She appears to have been well educated and was an accomplished pianist, no doubt a prerequisite for all well-bred young ladies in the late nineteenth century. Her father was from a prominent Louisiana plantation family. While her mother's lineage has a question mark, she was reared in a family from Virginia who would have also had traditional southern values.

  • Interviewed by Kenneth A. Ross
    JAMES J. TATTERSALL January 2010 (interviewed by Kenneth A. Ross) When did you get interested in mathematics? In my early teens, I was an avid follower of major league baseball statistics. I played with a local sandlot team and during the games kept a tally of who did what. After each game, I revised the hitting and pitching stats and had them ready for the next game. I resolved to be a mathematics teacher while in high school. What were the circumstances? In my senior year, I took a quartet of mathematics courses: trigonometry, solid geometry, discrete mathematics, and pre-calculus, with nine other students. The teacher, Mary Etta Stine, was working on her Masters’ degree evenings at American University. She passed on to us her enthusiasm for mathematics as well as some of her experiences. She later served on the Board of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. At graduation, I was awarded the mathematics medal (not because I was the best in the group, but because I was the most tenacious). I was very surprised and appreciative, considering that in my sophomore year I struggled in her algebra II course. Did you ever consider fields other than mathematics as a vocation? In high school, after I expressed interest in becoming a lawyer, my father made arrangements for me to spend a week in Judge Colasanto’s courtroom in Alexandria, Virginia. I learned that the wheels of justice moved slower than I could have ever imagined. It appeared to me that most of the time lawyers just hung around just outside the courtroom doing nothing.

Reproduction and distribution prohibited without permission of the Press. EDITORS ’ P R E FAC E The Lizzie Borden case is truly a tale of two cities. Fall River, Massa- chusetts, was a boomtown in the Gilded Age, its skyline filled with the smokestacks of cotton mills driven by the city’s fast-flowing rivers. The cotton manufacturing plants had made a small group of close-knit fam- ilies wealthy, and the Bordens were among them. The well-to-do lived on “The Hill” above the rivers and the coast, in substantial mansions. Closer to the mills below lived a teeming population of native born and foreign born who worked at the spindles and the bobbins. The laboring classes were heavily Irish, French Canadian, and Portuguese. Midway between the two communities lay the simple, almost austere, dwelling of emotionless and pinch-penny Andrew Borden, his second wife, Abby, and his two grown daughters, Emma and her younger sister, Lizzie, and the Irish maid the sisters called Maggie, although her name was Bridget Sullivan.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1995 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DISSERTATION OF GABRIELA SCHALOW ADLER APPROVED: Dissertation ( ~~lJ/~ DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1995 ABSTRACT Lizzie Borden is a legendary figure in American culture who, unlike some others, has not received much scholarly attention. Yet her story has generated a great number and variety of texts, and several performance pieces as well. New texts continue to be published. This body of work begs to be examined, so that insights may be gained into the interactions of popular literacies and narrative forms. The study of different textual treatments of the same subject allows us to trace issues of gender, class, family, the construction of subjectivity, and the intersections of genre, narrative and history. The theoretical approach is presented in the. introduction.
