Eric Church Doesn't Back Down on Holdin' My Own
ERIC CHURCH DOESN’T BACK DOWN ON HOLDIN’ MY OWN TOUR Standing behind his vow to put face-value tickets in fans’ hands, Church cancels secondary market ticket orders and releases them back to the public - Tuesday, Feb 21 at NOON. Tickets available while supplies last for Eric’s show at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on March 31 at www.AXS.com. Nashville, Tenn. – After witnessing the three-hour, two-set marathon show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center merely weeks ago, Rolling Stone professed, “Eric Church sets the bar.” The exchange in energy with the audience and passion that fuels the man behind the CMA’s Album of the Year is an earned one after years of putting his fans first. Whether it is the dozens in attendance at his first performance in Bethel, New York or the 15,842 in attendance for last month’s breezy night in Brooklyn, it is that unrivaled dedication to surpassing their expectations that is driving another mission: ensuring fans’ hard-earned money is spent fairly on face-value tickets at each and every stop on his 60-plus city Holdin’ My Own Tour. Throughout the Holdin’ My Own Tour, Eric and his team have systematically identified, cancelled and released tickets back to the public that were identified as scalper tickets. Already on the tour, Eric’s management team used a proprietary program to release thousands of tickets back to the public and fans in markets like Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Toronto, Vancouver and Boston. On Feb. 21 at noon local time, the team will release to the official ticketing website all tickets identified as scalper-purchased for the remaining markets back to the public.

Introduction This Issues and Opportunities Brief summarizes the technical analyses completed as part of Phase 2 of Edmonton’s Exhibition Lands Transformation (formerly named the Coliseum Station Area Redevelopment Plan). It incorporates the findings from the following project tasks: › Transportation technical analysis › Civil infrastructure technical analysis › Site visits and analysis › Context analysis › Public and stakeholder engagement The summary and discussion provided on the following pages should be supplemented by the more detailed findings of these technical studies, where available, and by the Phase 1 What We Heard Report that describes the results of public engagement to date. The Exhibition Lands project will study the lands centred on the former exhibition grounds located between the Coliseum and Stadium LRT Stations, including the Coliseum arena and EXPO Convention Centre, and the edges of surrounding communities. The study area boundaries (shown on the following pages) have been designed to encompass neighbourhoods with the highest potential for change in the future, and to enable the project to consider transitions and connections between the City lands and existing residential areas, nearby open spaces and the broader transportation network. Note that the project is in a stage of transition, with a focus on creating a more collaborative and transformational vision for the future of the Exhibition Lands.

I, of course, want to thank our President, Ian West, and all our Committee Members and especially our very efficient Treasurer, Bill Van Draat. The Grey Owl Society was founded by the late Colin Taylor and the first meeting was held in April 1982 in the Sussex village of Framfield. Our first President, 'Ted' Blackmore, had been a long time friend of Ian West and Colin Taylor and in 1935 had made the warbonnet for Grey Owl's U.K. Tour (Bull 1:6-8). After Ted's death in 1983, Ian West took over as President and his recollections of Grey Owl's visit to his school in Bexhill- on-Sea (where, at the age of 13, he was "the first one to sit in the chair after Grey Owl's departure with the Headmaster"), are also included in Bull l:9).

Abstract Résumé
Strata Darren Reid RACIAL TRANSFORMATIONS: APPROACHING EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY RACIAL BOUNDARIES THROUGH BUFFALO CHILD LONG LANCE AND GREY OWL DARREN REID MA student, University of Victoria Abstract This paper contends that understanding Buffalo Child Long Lance’s and Grey Owl’s racial transformations from non-Indigenous to Indigenous is crucial for our understanding of racial boundaries in early twentieth century Canada, and in the British Empire as a whole. Yet it also recognizes that few historians have been drawn to the subject. To facilitate further research, this paper explores the three historiographical approaches that have been applied to Long Lance and Grey Owl, materialist, psychoanalytical, and discursive, and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each. This paper also identifies three key areas for further research: centring Indigenous voices, analyzing Long Lance’s and Grey Owl’s afterlives, and expanding the discursive approach to address intersectionality. Résumé Cet article soutient que les transformations raciales de non-autochtones à autochtones de Buffalo Child Long Lance et de Grey Owl sont essentielles pour notre compréhension des frontières raciales au début du XXe siècle au Canada et dans l’ensemble de l’Empire britannique. Cependant, il reconnait également que peu d’historiens ont été attirés par l’étude de ce sujet. Pour ouvrir la voie à de plus amples recherches, cet article explore les trois approches historiographiques qui ont été appliquées à Buffalo Child Long Lance et Grey Owl, matérialiste, psychanalytique et discursive, et analyse les forces et les faiblesses de chacune. Il s’agira aussi identifier trois domaines clés pour des recherches plus approfondies : mettre en valeur les voix autochtones, analyser la vie après la mort de Long Lance et de Grey Owl, et développer l’approche discursive afin de traiter de l’intersectionnalité.
