  • Steve Rowland Actor, Singer, Columnist, Recording Producer, Author
    Steve Rowland Actor, Singer, Columnist, Recording Producer, Author Born in Hollywood, actor, singer, columnist, author and record producer Steve Rowland grew up in Beverly Hills during the Golden Age of Hollywood. His father was film director Roy Rowland, his mother Ruth was a scriptwriter and the niece of Louis B. Mayer of MGM fame. Steve almost "naturally" began an acting career in the 50s, starring in over 35 TV shows like “Bonanza”, “Wanted Dead Or Alive” and a two year role in “The Legend of Wyatt Earp”. His first film appearance was at 11 year's old in MGM's "Boy's Ranch", singing Darling Clementine in the campfire scene. Film appearances included co-starring roles in “The Battle of the Bulge” with Henry Fonda and Telly Savalas, “Gun Glory” with Stuart Granger and Rhonda Fleming, “Crime in the Streets” with John Cassavetes and Sal Mineo, and the original “The Thin Red Line” with Keir Dullea and Jack Warden. These were also the years when as a member of "Hollywood royalty" Steve was inspired to write monthly columns for the popular fan magazines, The View From Rowland’s Head being the most famous, as he mingled with the stars and starlets of the time : Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Natalie Wood, Tuesday Weld, Kathy Case, Carmen Phillips to name a few. And with his all-time friend Budd Albright, he hit the music scene with the group "West Coast Twist Kings", and with Earl Bostic he performed in the "Ringleaders". The lure of ‘the swinging sixties’ soon brought Steve to London where he produced records for the Fontana label.

  • Steve Burke Chief Executive Officer Nbcuniversal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 Jeff Shell Incoming Chief Executive
    Steve Burke Chief Executive Officer NBCUniversal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 Jeff Shell Incoming Chief Executive Officer NBC Universal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 December 17th, 2019 Dear Mr. Burke and Mr. Shell, We write as members of the New York State Legislature to express our concern about allegations of a toxic workplace environment at NBCUniversal. There is growing evidence of a culture that silences victims of harassment and those who report inappropriate workplace behavior at NBC. NBCUniversal’s recent decision not to renew Gabrielle Union’s contract on America’s Got Talent is just the ​ ​ latest example of a concerning pattern of behavior on the part of NBC. Union was allegedly let go after raising concerns about racist jokes made on set and having been told repeatedly that her hairstyles were “too black.” These allegations represent unacceptable workplace behavior that no one should be subject to, let alone terminated for reporting. We are grateful that NBC has committed to Union that they will investigate her allegations and termination. However, NBC must be transparent about the findings of their investigation and take concrete steps to reform the toxic culture throughout the company. Union’s experience is only one example of the systemic silencing of victims of harassment and those who have spoken up at NBC. As reported extensively by Ronan Farrow and others, NBC ignored complaints of sexual misconduct against Matt Lauer and stymied Farrow’s reporting on Harvey Weinstein while at NBC. Farrow has also reported that at least seven women have signed non-disclosure agreements with the company after alleging sexual harassment, including individuals who made complaints about Lauer before November 2017.

Both teams have their stars, and their "clutch" players, but even so, everyone on the respec- tive teams have been significant in their rides into dis- trict play. Players ranging freshmen to seniors need to do their job in order for their team to succeed. And, this sea- son in particular, the HAHS athletes have done just that. Bobby Planutis is one of the many stars of HA boys' basketball. He averages near 20 points per game and leads the team in many other stat categories. Bobby Planutis has proven key in the success of the Cougar boys. On the court, however, it isn’t just his show. Play- ers such as Dante Biasi, Michael “Jelly” Cusatis, Josh Samec, Jeff “Gator” Planutis, Jacob Diaz, and freshman Damir Faison also have shown to do more than the job they need to. The boys' team is like a well-oiled machine. Blowing teams out by 20 points a game is more than enough proof that Cougar boys come ready to play. Picstitch courtesy of MIchelle Stojkov Mackenzie Yori is a star herself of the HA girls' basketball team. Her impressive quickness and intensity HAHS' winning girls' and boys' basketball teams exhibit the best attributes of Silver Crimson Colors on the court helps drive the Lady Cougars to big wins.
