CONTRIBUTING WRITERS Every month, the South Mountain Audubon Society lists its meeting in our Ashley Andyshak Hayes newspaper, the Gettysburg Times.

  • The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby Megan Geneva Murray PhD The University of York Women’s Studies January 2012 Abstract All-female roller derby is a rapidly growing full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, with a highly popularized punk, feminine, sexual and tough aesthetic. Utilising theories on the institution of heterosexuality, I conducted a qualitative study on all-female roller derby which evaluated the way in which derby aligns with or challenges heteronormativity. In order to approach this question, I analysed, firstly, thirty-eight interviews with spectators, and twelve with players about their interactions with spectators. Secondly, I interviewed twenty-six players about the phenomenon of “derby wives,” a term used to describe particular female friendships in roller derby. My findings relate the complex relationship between players and spectators by focusing on: (i) spectators’ interpretations of the dress, pseudonyms, and identities of players, as well as the ways in which they were actively involved in doing gender through their discussions of all-female, coed, and all-male roller derby; (ii) players’ descriptions of their interactions with spectators, family members, romantic partners, friends and strangers, regarding roller derby. Additionally, I address the reformulation of the role “wife” to meet the needs of female players within the community, and “derby wives” as an example of Adrienne Rich’s (1980) “lesbian continuum.” “Derby girls” are described as “super heroes” and “rock stars.” Their pseudonyms are believed to help them “transform” once they take to the track.

Ribeiro 2013 iii “THE BATTLE FOR HARMONY”: INTERGROUP RELATIONS BETWEEN BLACKS AND LATINOS IN PHILADELPHIA, 1950S TO 1980S Alyssa M. Ribeiro, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 This dissertation is a case study that explores black and Latino relations in North Philadelphia neighborhoods from the 1950s through the 1980s. It draws upon community organization records, local government documents, newspapers, and oral histories. In the fifties and sixties, scarce housing, language barriers, Puerto Ricans’ ambiguous racial identity, and slow adaptation by local institutions contributed to racial tension and social segregation. But from the late sixties through the late seventies, black-Latino relationships markedly improved. During this crucial decade, blacks and Latinos increasingly drew upon their shared circumstances to form strategic alliances. They used grassroots organizing to pressure existing institutions, focusing on basic issues like schools, housing, and police.

  • What Would You Keep and Reinvest in at the Rockford Park District?
    Question 13: What would you keep and reinvest in at the Rockford Park Question 14: What changes (additions and/or eliminations) would you like to District? see at the Rockford Park District? parks, golf, ice rinks eliminate magic waters. Neighborhood parks, bike paths, open rec space Outdoor/Nature Education and Recreation (Atwood, Lockwood, Nicholas Conservatory) and open Eliminate land that is not being used, maintain and improve playgrounds and other facilities that space/trails are already here Neighborhood parks, rec paths, golf, and SECURITY on paths. Eliminate Magic Waters. Too expensive to operate and high risk of injury. It is falling apart. I would reduce the number of golf courses and increase the activities for the children in the community. We need to find ways to continue to engage the 13-18 year old teens and look for additional ways to meet their recreational needs, not just live at levings or the community centers, specific to the African American children. Riverview needs to be updated badly. Please keep TR at or above levels. A new rink. The trolley, if it wants to be self-funded, is great but I don’t think it’s needed. Are all of the golf courses used that much? Something to think about, too. The BASICS of recreation. The park district expanded itself into all leisure time activities. As hard The large-scale facilities needing tax dollars for its use by special interest groups should be paid as it is - the park district needs to return to its core mission. Parks and Recreation, not all leisure mostly by user fees from the groups.
