  • PART I — the Budget by Functional Area
    PART I THE BUDGET BY FUNCTIONAL AREA EDUCATION, LABOR AND FAMILY ASSISTANCE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS MISSION The primary responsibility for oversight and administration of the State’s artistic and cultural resources is assigned to three existing entities — the Council on the Arts, the Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation and the New York State Theatre Institute. The 2003-04 Executive Budget proposes the establishment of the New York Institute for Cultural Education to administer a variety of statewide cultural education programs and important cultural institutions. Working together, these agencies expand access to the performing and fine arts, preserve the State’s cultural resources and promote greater public awareness of New York’s rich cultural heritage. ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING The Council on the Arts is headed by a Chair and a Vice Chair and consists of 20 members nominated for 5-year terms by the Governor with confirmation by the Senate. The Council’s staff, headed by an Executive Director, is organized into an Administrative Division and a Program Division, both located in New York City. The Council has expertise in several major artistic disciplines (including dance, theater and music) and provides advisory services and financial assistance to New York’s arts community. During 2003-04, the Council on the Arts will have a workforce of 52 for the review, processing and administration of arts grants and loans to nonprofit organizations. The Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center Corporation (the “Egg”) was established in 1979 as a public benefit corporation to administer a performing arts center in Albany that offers a diverse array of cultural and artistic programming.

    From Whence We Came _________________________________________________________________________________________ The marathon took its inspiration from one of the greatest athletic feats in history. And the Christchurch Airport Marathon took its inspiration from one of the greatest marathons in history. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Marathon running, as we know it, hails back to Athens ______________________________________________ in 1896 and the first modern Olympiad. But the The first “City of Christchurch International Marathon” inspiration for this most classic of challenges hails back to a mythical Greek messenger named Pheidippides. Depending on which of history’s great bards you believe, Pheidippides ran 24 miles between Marathon and Athens to announce an Athenian victory in the Battle of Marathon. Upon delivering the message he dropped down dead, and so was born the great nobility of long distance running and the challenge they eventually dubbed “the marathon.” It was that great tale that inspired the first Olympic marathon and a quarter of a century later a similarly inspiring race took place right here in Christchurch. Like the marathon itself, the Christchurch Marathon ______________________________________________ was inspired by one of the greatest races in history; n With so many world class runners in the marathon field the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games, on the the pace was always going to be fast.

    Maple Hill Junior Paw Print Issue 4 June 2021 Peter Gannon, President and CEO of the United Way of the Greater Capital Region, takes a selfie with students during the kick-off of the two-day visit of the Covid Mural, Still Life with Gratitude, by Rachel Baxter and Poem, “What We Have Now,” by D. Colin, on May 13 and 14, 2021. Here is a sampling of Covid Mural and Poem writings from students. An acrostic poem by Cain Stone, grade 7 Many flowers Using many meanings. Remembrance And Life with gratitude. A tricube poem by Nava Schuerholz, grade 7 Lilacs and forget-me- nots can help people to remember those who have suffered during the pandemic. A reflection from the Mural’s Perspective by Gabe Price, grade 7 I arrived at Maple Hill High School on a sunny day. I was set up outside in their outside classroom. I was lonely until the children came to visit. The first class came down with older students. They loved looking at me and even put round stickers on me.I heard the kids talking and most kids thought I was interesting. I think I am important because I represent a disease that is going around. I support all that were affected. I love my moons which represent time. I am happy we are now getting closer to everyone not needing a mask. I have never seen anyone without a mask ! I love that I am a collection of bright flowers. One of the stickers was from a seventh grade boy who made a picture of a virus and crossed it out.

  • SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13
    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days. To give the full picture, both competitions are analyzed here. SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13 OT - 100 Meters - September 12, 16.15 Hr 1. 5.

Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.

  • Formation of the Sport of Athletics in Rotorua
    Lake City Athletic Club Inc A History by Pam Kenny Three clubs joined together in April 1991, to form the current Lake City Athletic Club Inc. A short history of the earlier clubs is shown first. Rotorua Amateur Athletic & Cycling Club / Rotorua Athletic Club 1931-1991 On the 13 November 1931 a meeting was convened at Brent’s Bathgate House to establish an athletic and cycling club in Rotorua. Thirty people were in attendance and the Rotorua Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club was formed, with the club achieving incorporated society status in 1938. Blue and gold were the club colours - blue singlet/blouse and shorts with gold “R” on the top. Weekly competitions were held at the Rotorua Boys High on a Friday evening, with the customary track and field events for the runners, with cyclists contesting both track and road races. Val Robinson winning an early ladies’ athletics meeting in the late 1940's The club went into recess during the Second World War, with activities resuming October 1944. Venues utilized between 1944 and 1960 were Harriers in the late 1940's - L to R; John Wild, Alex Kuirau Park, the old A&P Showgrounds near Uta Millar, Keith French, Harry Findon Street, Arawa Park, Pererika Street, and again Kuirau Park. 1961 saw the Club at Smallbone Park, its home until the 1983/84 season, when a move was made to the new International Stadium, though the inadequacy of the track led to a return to Smallbone Park for a season. 1986 it was back to the Stadium until sand carpeting of the ground prevented permanent lane markings and children being able to run barefooted.
