And if recent public statements are prologue, the showdown is certain to be monumental. Councilman Frank Fannon has begun laying the pieces in place for voting against the budget — a measure considered by some to be a radical protest. When Republican Bill Cleveland and Democrat Andrew Macdonald voted against the budget, opponents lashed out that such a move was tantamount to acting against education of children and the needs of the elderly. Cer- tainly, considering the vast scope of the budget, this sentiment is technically accurate. But Fannon says he would be unwilling to vote for a budget that was one penny more than last year’s bud- get — unlikely considering the momentum this year. “We need to hold the line,” Fannon said Saturday morning. “We have to take care of the basics first, and if there’s any money left over we can be nice.” On the other side of the equation is Vice Mayor Kerry Donely. When public-safety employees advocated merit pay for sheriff’s deputies and police officers, Donley said he felt Alexandria’s 40- year crime low should be recognized. Although school employees received a merit increase halfway through the fiscal year in the last budget cycle, city employees have not received a merit in- crease since 2008. Budget officials estimate adding merit pay Photos by Louise Krafft/Gazette would cost about $2.8 million.

By Michael Lee Pope Gazette Packet umors of impending doom Rwere swirling around T.C. Williams High School this week, after two students were sus- pended on April 15 for making what school officials call “inappro- priate comments.” In a letter to families issued the following day, Principal William Clendaniel ex- plained that some students use the April 20 anniversary of the 1999 Columbine shooting as an oppor- tunity to spread “disruptive ru- mors.” “This was the case recently at T.C. Williams High School,” Clendaniel explained in the letter. “Rumors are circulating about comments made by T.C. students in reference to the Columbine event.” The principal explained that he had worked closely with the Alex- andria Police Department to iden- tify four students involved, and that all four had been suspended. He said that no direct threat had ever been made, and that no evi- dence indicates that students were ever in any danger.

  • The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933
    © Copyright 2015 Alexander James Morrow i Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: James N. Gregory, Chair Moon-Ho Jung Ileana Rodriguez Silva Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of History ii University of Washington Abstract Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James Gregory Department of History This dissertation explores the economic and cultural (re)definition of labor and laborers. It traces the growing reliance upon contingent work as the foundation for industrial capitalism along the Pacific Coast; the shaping of urban space according to the demands of workers and capital; the formation of a working class subject through the discourse and social practices of both laborers and intellectuals; and workers’ struggles to improve their circumstances in the face of coercive and onerous conditions. Woven together, these strands reveal the consequences of a regional economy built upon contingent and migratory forms of labor. This workforce was hardly new to the American West, but the Pacific Coast’s reliance upon contingent labor reached its apogee after World War I, drawing hundreds of thousands of young men through far flung circuits of migration that stretched across the Pacific and into Latin America, transforming its largest urban centers and working class demography in the process. The presence of this substantial workforce (itinerant, unattached, and racially heterogeneous) was out step with the expectations of the modern American worker (stable, married, and white), and became the warrant for social investigators, employers, the state, and other workers to sharpen the lines of solidarity and exclusion.

  • Manhattan's Oldest Street: Part 3
    November 10, 2014 Manhattan's Oldest Street: Part 3 As the Bowery continues to morph (most recently, the sale of a strip of lighting stores from 134-142 Bowery, above, portends redevelopment), Eastern Consolidated's Adelaide Polsinelli advises: Don't cry for old New York. The Bowery has been reinventing itself since Native Americans used it as a foot path to Canada. These lighting stores started as Federal-style rowhouses, and now, perhaps, the site is fated to become residential again. The inevitability of change is apparent in northern Chinatown's previous role as an entertainment district for monied Manhattanites and then the middle class, says New York Historical Tours' Kevin Draper. Take 104 and 106 Bowery, above. The area was a precedent to Lincoln Center until the Gilded Age chased the rich folk into their parlors and ballrooms. Then, the middle class took over. A theater in the basement of 104 and 106 has in its history hosted the first performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin and the first Yiddish theater in the US (which led to vaudeville, which spawned Broadway). Now, the buildings are a spa and a mobile phone store. A below-grade theater at the Crystal Hotel at 165 and 167 Bowery hosted the first-ever amateur night. Fifty years before the Apollo opened, a stagehand here would pull people off the stage with a cane, giving birth to the phrase “give him the hook.” Now, retail on the street is elevating, says Eastern Consolidated's Carlos Olson. SoHo- level rents are crossing Houston southward, like Anthropologie's more than $200/SF lease in 250 Bowery, a record south of Houston.

  • Manhattan the Historic Districts Council Is New York’S Citywide Advocate for Historic Buildings and Neighborhoods
    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods B owe ry Manhattan The Historic Districts Council is New York’s citywide advocate for historic buildings and neighborhoods. The Six to Celebrate program annually identifies six historic New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation as priorities for HDC’s advocacy and consultation over a yearlong period. The six, chosen from applications submitted by community organizations, are selected on the basis of the architectural and historic merit of the area, the level of threat to the neighborhood, the strength and willingness of the local advocates, and the potential for HDC’s preservation support to be meaningful. HDC works with these neighborhood partners to set and reach pres- ervation goals through strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and publicity. The core belief of the Historic Districts Council is that preservation and enhancement of New York City’s historic resources—its neighborhoods, buildings, parks and public spaces—are central to the continued success of the city. The Historic Districts Council works to ensure the preservation of these resources and uphold the New York City Landmarks Law and to further the preservation ethic. This mission is accomplished through ongoing programs of assistance to more than 500 community and neighborhood groups and through public-policy initiatives, publications, educational outreach and sponsorship of community events. Six to Celebrate is generously supported by The New York Community Trust and HDC’s Six to Celebrate Committee. Additional support for the Six to Celebrate Tours is provided by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York City Councilmembers Inez Dickens, Daniel Garodnick, Vincent Gentile, Stephen Levin and Rosie Mendez.

  • Single Room Occupancy Hotels, Historic Preservation
    SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY HOTELS, HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND THE FATE OF SEATTLE’S SKID ROAD 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 Jonathon Arthur Rusch January 2013 © 2013 Jonathon Arthur Rusch ABSTRACT This thesis concerns the social history of the Skid Road/Pioneer Square—central Seattle’s oldest neighborhood and the city’s historic laborer’s district—as well as the implications of historic preservation activities there during the 1960s and 1970s. The gradual rehabilitation of the Skid Road’s built environment as a middle‐class destination neighborhood signaled a significant break from its down‐and‐out history and urban “grit,” characterized by the presence of workingman’s hotels and poor, near‐homeless residents. The thesis describes and contextualizes this type of cheap lodging house (more recently known as single room occupancy hotel, or SRO) and surrounding laborers’ district during the late 19th and early 20th centuries: the Skid Road was a necessary space for Seattle’s temporary residents, although largely opposed to bourgeois social norms. SROs continued to characterize the Skid Road as it experienced disinvestment in subsequent decades, and they contributed to discourses of the neighborhood as trashed urban space. The thesis describes the Skid Road’s early preservation and gentrification, which sped the elimination of the existing cheap hotel stock. The discussion subsequently explores the tension between two distinct but at times overlapping ideologies regarding the neighborhood’s authentic character: that the Skid Road was defined by its architectural character, and that it was defined by a social environment fostered by its historic workingman’s hotels.

  • Development of Public and Private Support for Homeless People in Japan After the 1990S: Focus on Housing Support
    Development of Public and Private Support for Homeless People in Japan after the 1990s: Focus on Housing Support Akiko Nakajima, Michiko Bando, Hajime Osaki, Rebecca Tanaka Akiko Nakajima, Professor of Housing, Wayo Women’s University 2-3-1 Konodai, Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan 272-8533 Tel (81)47-371-2186, Fax (81)47-371-1336, email: [email protected] Michiko Bando National Institute of Public Health Hajime Osaki Architect Office Takumiya Architects, Ltd. Rebecca Tanaka Wayo Women’s University Introduction In Japan, the term homeless officially means rough sleeper. It includes people, primarily men, who sleep in parks, train stations, under railroad viaducts, on the streets, and beside rivers—in essence, people without a house or shelter to live in. Since the 1990’s when Japan began experiencing recessionary conditions, rough sleepers have been seen not only in big cities but also in medium-sized and small cities. The number of rough sleepers hit 25,000 in 2003, according to a survey that was conducted in all municipalities in Japan. The survey was based on the Homeless Self-reliance Support Law (2002). Throughout this research report, the term rough sleeper will be used to define people without housing who live on the street, whereas people who stay in public shelters, emergency centers, or transitional housing facilities will be defined as the homeless. The recession is not the only cause of increasing rough sleepers, however. Three other factors have contributed to the increase of this type of homelessness in a country that for centuries had virtually none. First, in the background lie the increasingly unstable relations between employers and employees that resulted when Japan switched to neoliberalism policies, like many other developed nations.
