A Comprehensive Plan 2014-2015 A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Midland City Council held a retreat in March 2014 to refine its strategic vision in light of Midland’s rapid growth. This growth is expected to cause Midland’s population to swell to 200,000 sometime in the next 20 years. In addition to strategic initiatives, a road map to guide comprehensive planning was adopted by the City Council to reflect the needs of our growing community.

  • Robert Patrick, Nick Stahl, Scott Haze, Kelli Garner, Jake Weber and Tony Hale Star in Vincent Grashaw’S Elevated Psychological Horror Project What Josiah Saw
    December 17th, 2019 - Robert Patrick, Nick Stahl, Scott Haze, Kelli Garner, Jake Weber and Tony Hale star in Vincent Grashaw’s elevated psychological horror project What Josiah Saw Robert Patrick, Nick Stahl, Scott Haze, Kelli Garner, Jake Weber and Tony Hale are starring in the elevated genre film, What Josiah Saw, which just wrapped principal photography in Oklahoma, and is helmed by Vincent Grashaw (And Then I Go / Coldwater). Written by Robert Alan Dilts, the film tells the story of a family with buried secrets who reunite at a farmhouse after two decades to pay for their past sins. Plot details are being kept under wraps. “I felt if I was ever going to do a film which scared people it would need to be one grounded in a reality that was relatable. It was one of the most unique and terrifying scripts I’d ever read and I can’t wait to share this one with an audience,” says Grashaw. Randomix Productions’ Ran Namerode is producing alongside Beth Elise Hawk through her shingle, Gemini Girls Productions. “I chose WHAT JOSIAH SAW as our inaugural film project, because the script was so strong on the page. What Vincent did in his execution during production exceeds all expectations,” says Namerode. “We are humbled by the performances of this exceptional cast!” says Hawk. Bernie Stern and Vincent Grashaw are also producing. Angelia Adzic and Cole Payne are executive producers. Robert Patrick, repped by Gersh and Coronel Group, can currently be seen in The Laundromat film on Netflix and the upcoming Perry Mason series for HBO.

  • Making Sense of Comprehensible Input in the Latin Classroom
    Teaching Classical Languages Spring 2015 Patrick 108 Making Sense of Comprehensible Input in the Latin Classroom Robert Patrick Parkview High School Gwinnett County, Georgia ABSTRACT In the last decade, what once seemed a huge gulf between modern and classical language teachers has begun to look more like a practical bridge between helpful neighbors. This paper attempts to illustrate how that professional sharing is engag- ing Latin and other teachers of classical languages in teaching practices grounded in the theory Comprehensible Input. The considerations include summaries of the theory of Comprehensible Input first articulated as five hypotheses by Stephen Krashen and subsequently supported by other researchers such as Lee and VanPat- ten. Illustrations of the practice of CI come from the author’s work in his secondary school Latin program via written and video examples of the work, shared lessons, assessments, and commentary on them. The paper considers a range of approaches from core practices to strategies for reading, writing, and assessing. KEYWORDS comprehensible input, pedagogy, reading, writing, equity, accessible Latin, SLA In a recent article, Stephen Krashen described characteristics of the lan- guage teacher in a way that may be instructive to Latin teachers who are considering changes in their approach to our art and craft. First, it needs to be pointed out that very few people are like us, interested in language for its own sake. Very few people take the pleasure that we do in un- derstanding and using another language, let alone the pleasure of successfully monitoring a conscious- ly-learned rule. We are, I suspect, a fringe group.

  • 5 Things You Need to Know Before You
    FRIDAY 03 JULY, 2015 ne of the most famous lines uttered by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s murder-powered cyborg is “I’ll be Oback.” And on July 1, the T-800 will once again be true to his word when “Terminator: Genisys” hits theaters. The fifth “Terminator” movie aims to robo-punch you right in the nos- talgia center, much like “Jurassic World” did, with its twisty, time-travel story that pays homage to the franchise’s first two films (while completely, and wisely, ignoring the existence of meh entries “Rise of the Machines” and “Salvation.”) To pre- pare you for another trip to the land of Skynet, here are all the things you need to know about “Genisys,” which picks up where James Cameron’s original 1984 film left off. 1. It’s a Reboot...ish After “Batman Begins,” the word “reboot” became the hottest phrase in Hollywood. And “Terminator: Genisys” is the latest product of that craze. Jason Clarke plays John Connor, a character essayed, in various points in the franchise, by Edward Furlong (in “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”), Nick Stahl in “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” Thomas Dekker in the “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” television series and Christian Bale in “Terminator: Salvation.” Emilia Clarke, from “Game of Thrones,” plays Sarah Connor, a character most famously played by Linda Hamilton on the big screen, and then later by Lena Headey on the small screen in “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” Jai Courtney plays Kyle Reese, played by Michael Biehn in “Terminator” and in a deleted scene from “T2.” Most puzzling, South Korean dreamboat Lee Byung-hun plays the T-1000, a character origi- nally portrayed by Robert Patrick in “T2.” But Schwarzenegger remains, as a variation on his original Terminator character.
