  • Early Dutch Settlements in South Dakota

    Early Dutch Settlements in South Dakota

    EARLY DUTCH SETTLEMENTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA The first families came to this area from the Netherlands because economic conditions were such that there was no future for farmers and artisans. Wages were very low, both for the laboring class and the farmer. Many farmers had retrogressed to such an extent that they were forced to abandon their farms, and many workmen were unable to find employment. I recall that many carpenters complained about conditions, and they did not believe that it would be much better in the United States. Moreover, there were very few who had the means to pay for such a journey. Only those who had received some money from an inheritance began to think about emigrating. Rickele Zylstra, son of Je1le Zylstra, made plans to go to America with his family. I believe that he left during the latter part of 1881, and his brother Rein went with him, as well as a few families from Wolvega. The latter had acquaintances in BonHomme County, and all first went to that area. In 1882 these two sons of uncle Je1le went to Charles Mix County, and took up a claim. Riekele built a sod house for his family, but Rein returned to the Netherlands to be married. But alas, the girl of his choice refused to go to America, so Rein returned alone. In 1883 Douse, the third son of uncle Jelle, came here, and with him a family from the province of Groningan, namely 1. Dyksterhuis, with his wife, son, and two daughters. An older son had arrived a year earlier.

    Rewind, Play, Fast Forward : the Past, Present and Future of the Music Video, Bielefeld 2010, S

    Originalveröffentlichung in: Keazor, Henry ; Wübbena, Thorsten (Hrsgg.): Rewind, play, fast forward : the past, present and future of the music video, Bielefeld 2010, S. 7-31 Rewind - Play - Fast Forward The Past, Present and Future of the Music Video: Introduction HENRY KEAZOR/THORSTEN WUBBENA "Art presses the "Stop"- and "Rewind"- buttons in the stream of life: It makes time stop. It offers reflection and re­ collection, it is an antidote against lost certitudes."1 Like perhaps no other medium, the music video clip is marking and shap­ ing our everyday culture: film, art, literature, advertisements ­ they all are clearly under the impact of the music video in their aesthetics, their technical procedures, visual worlds or narrative strategies. The reason for this has not only to be sought in the fact that some of the video di­ rectors are now venturing into art or advertisement, but that also peo­ ple not working in the field of producing video clips are indebted to this medium.2 Thus, more or less former video clip­directors such as Chris Cunningham or Jonas Akerlund have established themselves successfully with their creations which very often are based on ideas and concepts, originally developed for earlier music videos: both Cunningham's works Flex and Monkey Drummer, commissioned in 2000 respectively 2001 by the Anthony d'Offay Gallery, evolved out of his earlier music videos.' Flex relies on the fantastic and weightless underwater cosmos Cunningham designed for the images that accompanied Portishead's Only you in 1998. Monkey Drummer* is heavily based on the soundtrack written by the Irish musician Aphex Twin (Richard David James) for whom Cunningham had previously directed famous videos such as Come to Daddy (1997) and Win- dowlicker (1999).

    Historic Preservation Commission 22 S

    CITY OF GENEVA HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION 22 S. FIRST STREET GENEVA, ILLINOIS 60134 HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN GENEVA, ILLINOIS Geneva is blessed with a rich architectural heritage. Many buildings represent several architectural styles prevalent in the Midwest between the 1840's and the early 1900's. Styles found here in Geneva include examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Stick Style, Colonial Revival and Prairie. Many of Geneva’s older buildings are of a common vernacular and built in some part with locally quarried stone found along the river. These separate styles blend together to create an atmosphere of refined and understated elegance, perhaps reflecting the taste of the New England roots of Geneva's earliest settlers. Below are frequently asked questions (FAQs) about historic preservation in Geneva and the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). What is the Geneva Historic Preservation Commission? The HPC is a seven member board that is appointed by the Mayor and City Council. When does the HPC meet? The HPC meets at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 109 James Street. When was the HPC established? What is its purpose? The HPC was established in 1982 when the City of Geneva adopted a preservation ordinance, similar to those enacted in other municipalities across the United States. The purpose of the HPC is to protect buildings and neighborhoods in the City which have special historic, architectural, and cultural character. The HPC is responsible for the review and approval of exterior projects on historic properties.

    ~ Abrams blends puppets and culture BY BOB YATES ECREditor In an on-going effort to blend culture and entertainment, the Noon Hour Concert Series tomorrow will present "Folk Heroes of the Puppet Stage." The performance will be given by professional puppeteer Steven Abrams and his associates from Philadelphia. Abrams has been presenting puppet shows for over 15 years all across the nation. In 1972 and again in 1974 he performed at the Library and Museum ofthe Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Abrams has displayed his talent in numerous parks, libraries, and has even performed on Indian reservations. The show while amusing and entertaining, is actually a history of the puppet stage. Abrams traces the long tradition of puppetering from the sketch "Shiva and the Toy-maker," an Indian marionette act from the fifth century B.C., to . "Guignol" a French hand puppet that first appeared in 1815. Some ofthe other sketches to be performed include "Dance of Four" and act by Japanese Bunraku puppets, an appearance by th~ Russian puppets "Ivan and Petrushka," and a performance of the traditional "Punch and Judy" skit.
