In other words, the crunch is coming! We are all aware that the Gateway Center is making slow progress, and that the satellite parking lot at Jai Alai was not a great success last year. What provisions have been made, then, for the summer of '87? Not many, it seems. Two companies asked to run a parking lot at the corner of Washington Street and the Goat Island Connector Road, but upon hearing that the land was being used for construction workers' cars and materials, and that it might only be available on weekends, they lost interest. There will, however, be a commer­ cial parking lot and temporary visitors' center at the south-east corner of Washington St. and Long Wharf; this is on privately owned land. One can only see chaos resulting, and hope that a sticker parking program will bring some relief to the neighborhood. Still on the subject of traffic, the Newport Circulator Road continues to be discussed by the Traffic Committee and D.O.T. officials. At a recent meeting the most pressing issues were addressed ,and members will be glad to know that at least the idea of a Jersey barrier down the center of America's Cup Avenue has been dropped. A complete report from the Traffic Committee was given at the general meeting in April, and copies of the report have been sent to our City and State officials. We have requested a moratorium on any further imple­ mentation of the planned roadway until the comprehensive plan for the whole Circulator Road has been studied. The Advisory Committee for the Newport Circulator Road will meet with the D.O.T, again on June 4th at City Hall. While this is not a public hearing, the meeting open ,and interested observers are encouraged to attend. There will be full scale public hearings scheduled in the upcoming weeks. Our "Pressure Points" section will update you on other issues before us, and we will be keeping you informed of further developments at the July general meeting. The date will be announced in June. We look forward to seeing you there! FAIR UPDATE As of this writing, approximately 125 applications for Fair participants have been mailed to past exhibitors. Fifteen answers have been received, and it appears that interest in the new tent space is growing. This year we are offer­ ing, for an increased fee, space under a tent to provide the exhibitors with cover in case of rain showers, such as we had last year.

  • 68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan A
    Specters of '68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Galen Cranz, Chair Professer C. Greig Crysler Professor Richard Walker Summer 2015 Sagan Copyright page Sagan Abstract Specters of '68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Galen Cranz, Chair Political protest is an increasingly frequent occurrence in urban public space. During times of protest, the use of urban space transforms according to special regulatory circumstances and dictates. The reorganization of economic relationships under neoliberalism carries with it changes in the regulation of urban space. Environmental design is part of the toolkit of protest control. Existing literature on the interrelation of protest, policing, and urban space can be broken down into four general categories: radical politics, criminological, technocratic, and technical- professional. Each of these bodies of literature problematizes core ideas of crowds, space, and protest differently. This leads to entirely different philosophical and methodological approaches to protests from different parties and agencies. This paper approaches protest, policing, and urban space using a critical-theoretical methodology coupled with person-environment relations methods. This paper examines political protest at American Presidential National Conventions. Using genealogical-historical analysis and discourse analysis, this paper examines two historical protest event-sites to develop baselines for comparison: Chicago 1968 and Dallas 1984. Two contemporary protest event-sites are examined using direct observation and discourse analysis: Denver 2008 and St.

  • We Interviewed Prominent Rhode Islanders Who Now Slumber Beneath Our Soil
    They’re Everywhere: We interviewed prominent Rhode Islanders who now slumber beneath our soil As the veil between the worlds thins this Halloween night, this time-travelling Irishman stepped into the land beyond the horizon to learn more about Rhode Island’s illustrious departed. Julia Ward Howe, abolitionist, suffragist and poet; May 27, 1819 – October 17, 1910 Julia Ward Howe was an early and commanding voice of the suffrage movement. Her mother was a skilled wordsmith, a powerful skill for any young woman in the early 19th century, and inspired Howe to pick up the pen and eventually write the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” After the Civil War and the success of the abolitionist movement, Howe focused her passions on pacifism and women’s suffrage. She helped to establish the New England Women’s Club and the New England Woman Suffrage Association, later becoming president of the New England Women’s Club. She also went on to found the Association of American Women, as well as an extensive slew of foundations advocating for women’s education. In 1908, Howe was the first woman elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She died at her home, Oak Glen, in Portsmouth in 1910. Vahram Papazyan, Armenian athlete; September 2, 1892 – March 6, 1986 In the summer of 1912, Vahram Papazyan was one of two Armenian athletes to represent the Ottoman Empire in the domain’s first appearance at the Olympic Games. A reputedly fine athlete, Papazyan participated in the men’s 800 meters and 1500 meters, and although he did not win any medals, became a cultural hero.

  • Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
    Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.
