Members of the Coney Island Board of Trade, in which Astella helped to revitalize and provides technical assistance, have noted that while most merchants keep the sidewalk area in front of their stores free of liter according to city law, additional liter and sidewalk dirt and stains accumulate throughout the remainder of the day. In addition, according to a survey of Mermaid Ave. merchants conducted by an Astella intern in 2010, cleanliness of Mermaid Ave. was cited as the number one concern among merchants on Mermaid Ave. A cleaner commercial corridor will inspire confidence and pride in the neighborhood, provide a welcoming environment for shoppers, a boost for Mermaid Ave.

  • City & State Grimm Scenarios

    City & State Grimm Scenarios

    City & State Grimm Scenarios With Rep. Michael Grimm facing an indictment, there appears to be only one way for him to get off the ballot if Republicans want to run someone else By Jerry H. Goldfeder | Apr 28, 2014 | The anticipated indictment of Rep. Michael Grimm has raised questions about his viability as a candidate and the chances of his Democratic challenger, former New York City Councilman Domenic Recchia. It also has prompted a whirlwind of speculation about if and how he could be replaced as the Republican Party’s nominee. I will leave the political prognosticating for another day. Here I will address the ballot issues. Two sets of rules come into play: New York Election Law and the United States Constitution. According to New York law, designating petitions for the Republican line were due on April 10, and Grimm duly filed them. He had until four days later, April 14, to “decline” the nomination. Candidates do that from time to time for a variety of reasons, usually because they want their Committee to Fill Vacancies (political allies and supporters) to choose a replacement. Declination is rare; in any event, Grimm did not opt to do so. Moreover, no one submitted petitions to run against him in the Republican primary. Grimm is the Republican nominee. Assuming, however, that Congressman Grimm decides to spend his time fighting federal fraud charges and give the Republican Party a chance to run an alternative candidate, could he take his name off the ballot? Unlikely. Generally for state offices, if one moves out of the state or is convicted of a felony, a candidate is no longer eligible for public office.

    An Evolved Understanding: an Examination of the National

    AN EVOLVED UNDERSTANDING: AN EXAMINATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE’S APPROACH TO THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AT CHATHAM MANOR, FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Olivia Holly Heckendorf August 2019 © 2019 Olivia Holly Heckendorf ii ABSTRACT Chatham Manor became part of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in December 1975 after the death of its last private owner, John Lee Pratt. Constructed between 1768 and 1771, Chatham Manor has always been intertwined with the landscape and has gained significance throughout its 250-year lifespan. With each subsequent owner and period of time Chatham Manor has gained significance as a cultural landscape. Since its acquisition in 1975, the National Park Service has grappled with the significance and interpretation of Chatham Manor as a cultural landscape. This thesis provides an analysis of the National Park Service’s ideas of significance and interpretation of the cultural landscape at Chatham Manor. This is done through a discussion of several interpretive planning documents and correspondences from the staff of the National Park Service, including interpretive prospectuses, a general management plan, and long-range interpretive plan. In addition, the influence of both superintendents and staff is taken into consideration. Through the analysis of these documents, it was realized that the understanding of cultural landscapes is continuing to evolve within the National Park Service. In the 1960s and 1970s Chatham Manor was considered significant and interpreted almost solely for its association with the Civil War.

  • 1 Decorative Tile and Terracotta Exports by British Manufacturers, 1840

    1 Decorative Tile and Terracotta Exports by British Manufacturers, 1840

    Decorative tile and terracotta exports by British manufacturers, 1840-1940 Lynn Pearson Towards the end of the eighteenth century Liverpool-made printed delftware tiles were exported to America where they were used in colonial houses.1 Another early architectural ceramic export, in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, was Coade stone, with many commissions from the East India Company and a speculative venture carried out by Mrs Coade’s works manager William Croggon, who shipped eleven cases of mixed figures and animals to the West Indies in 1816.2 However, following the demise of the Coade factory during the 1830s, the history of the British architectural ceramic and tile export trade becomes more difficult to discern due to the lack of relevant archival material.3 It is known, for instance, that Minton’s of Stoke-on-Trent had a substantial foreign trade in tiles, with a significant number of commissions from Europe, America, India, Australia and New Zealand, but there is no detail in the Minton archives concerning the bulk of these contracts.4 This article attempts to outline the extent of this British export trade during 1840-1940 and describe some of the major foreign architectural commissions obtained over that century by British ceramics manufacturers. Early Minton tile exports Having exported earthenware since the 1790s, Minton’s began to produce encaustic tiles in the 1830s and exported them before 1850, initially to Europe and then worldwide; some of the first Minton tiles in Australia were used at one of
