Northampton Community Preservation Committee Minutes November 6, 2019 Northampton Community Preservation Committee Minutes November 6, 2019 Time: 7:00 pm Place: City Council Chambers, 212 Main Street (BEHIND City Hall) Brian Adams ü Linda Morley ü Julia Chevan Chris Hellman ü Jeff Jones ü Martha Lyon ü David Whitehill Jack Finn ü George Kohout ü Sarah LaValley - staff ü Brian called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM General Public Comment None Approval of Minutes Martha moved to approve the March 20 2019 minutes. Seconded by Linda, the motion carried unanimously. Chair’s Report Brian noted that CPC positions were decided in the recent municipal election. Chris Hellman was re-elected, and new member Dan Krassner will be joining the CPC in January, replacing David Whitehill, who did not run for re-election. Brian stated that a tour of the Forbes Library windows will be held on November 7 at 1:00, and a ribbon cutting for the Burts Bog trail was held November 5, with a good turnout. Public Comment Session on CPA Applications Brian noted that there are seven projects under consideration, with more funds sought for the round than are available for the fiscal year. Brian provided an overview of the CPA review process, including meetings with applicants and site visits. The intent of this meeting is to receive public comment regarding the applications submitted and work proposed. Office of Planning & Sustainability - Nashawannuck Restoration Office of Planning & Sustainability – Invasive Species Pilot Habitat for Humanity – Glendale Road Small Home No comments Forbes Library – Grounds Master Plan Jackie Frasier, Friends of Forbes Library, stated that the Library receives 220,000 visits a year, and the grounds are used extensively. The outside should match the beauty of the interior. Northampton Housing Authority - Hampshire Heights Playground Becky Lockwood, Housing Partnership, noted that Hampshire Heights is one if the oldest public housing complexes in Massachusetts, and currently does not have a playground. Addition of a playground would complement the recently created community garden for adults. Emily Lawfer, Hampshire Heights resident and member of the Housing Authority, states that it is challenging to find time to visit the park, and a playground will create a stronger community. She noted that kids create their own informal playgrounds that can be unsafe, and a playground will create a safe play space. Northampton Community Preservation Committee Minutes 1 November 6, 2019 Edgar, a resident of Hampshire Heights, noted that there are limited opportunities for play available, and a playground will help promote a strong sense of community to provide a great childhood for current residents like the one that he had. The Housing Authority dies not have funding available for the playground, so the plan was developed through a collaborative approach involving many residents. Jennifer Kirkpatrick, Hampshire Heights resident, stated that it is challenging to get to a playground – Jackson Street is often very busy, and a playground will contribute to a positive quality of life. Lupus, Hampshire Heights resident, noted that the Jackson street School playground is not available during school or program hours, and a playground onsite would allow children to play together and make more connections; parents can watch while working in the garden. Julio Alves, Housing Partnership, noted that a significant percentage of Northampton’s population has a high rent burden, and that public housing requires investment to create satisfaction with living conditions. Todd Weir, Housing Partnership, stated that the group began meeting at housing developments instead of at City Hall, and was able to gain a different perspective. A Hampshire Heights resident stated that she relocated from New York City, and she now feels like a member of a community. Being able to go outside, play and make friends is important for children’s quality of life. Sarah Bankert, Healthy Hampshire, stated the group works to provide healthy opportunities, including the community garden creation at Hampshire Heights. There is lots of momentum in the community, and awarding funds for the playground would take advantage of this and help to address disparities. The Community Builders (TCB) – North Commons Beth Haxby, Village Hill resident, stated that Village Hill is a planned community, and TCB was one of the first developers. They have listened to input and created quality developments with protected open space and reduced energy use. Village Hill residents have committed $2,000 to the proposed playground at North Commons. Dani McKahn stated that Northampton has a need for affordable housing, and North Commons will provide small units in a mixed neighborhood that target the City’s changing demographics. Ann Marie Martineau, Department of Mental Health (DMH), stated that is challenging to place people in affordable units in Northampton and it is important to create opportunities in positive places, with open space and walkability to downtown. Village Hill is a very desirable location for DMH, and North Commons will create additional opportunities. Michael Taylor, Christopher Heights director, stated that housing is critical and provides community connections, and provided examples of positive experiences at Village Hill. Pat Asselin, two-year resident of Village Hill, stated that it is a fabulous place to live that provides community, reduces silos, and creates value for different perspectives. Historic Northampton – Preservation Assessment Barbara Blumenthal stated that she discovered Historic Northampton as a Smith College student in 1971 and began volunteering. All buildings were open at that time and she would like to see them open again. The Historic Northampton leadership have worked hard to do a lot with as little funding as possible, maximizing CPA funding. Debin Bruce urged support for the application that would allow the Shepherd barn to be open to the public again. Northampton has agricultural roots, and the barn is an amazing resource right in the downtown. This will also create additional opportunities for programming in the future. Kiki Smith, Historic Northampton board, stated that the organization has made a huge turnaround in the past ten years, and that CPA funding has allowed a big improvement. Gail Gaustad stated that Historic Northampton is creating enthusiastic support for local history, and encouraged support for their in-need buildings. Jeffrey Bliss, Community Arts Trust Executive Director, encouraged support for the project in a critical time. Laurie Sanders, Historic Northampton co-director, stated that the organization had been in danger of failure, but it is now a community resource. Northampton Community Preservation Committee Minutes 2 November 6, 2019 Financial Overview Sarah stated that only the first round of state matching funds are provided in the financial report; supplemental funds are expected but are not known at this point. Linda noted an error in the Historic Northampton budget spreadsheet. Sarah will reach out to the applicant for clarification. Adjourn The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • MISCELANEA 60.Indb
    FRASIER: A CULTURAL HISTORY Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2017 ROBERT MURTAGH Universidad de Almería [email protected] 177 Part of independent publisher Rowman & Littlefield’s “Cultural History of Television” series that (according to their website) “will focus on iconic television shows” from the 1950s to the present that have had a lasting impact on world culture, Frasier: A Cultural History joins a collection of extant publications on defining sitcoms such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Star Trek. The authors of the text in question, Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski, are self-confessed Frasier fans with a background in different ambits of cultural study (the former as editor of the “Ages of Superheroes” essay series and author of X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor: Race and Gender in the Comic Books and the latter having researched the history of decorative arts and design). Above all, they share a mutual appreciation for all things Crane. From a structural perspective, the book is divided into two parts: “Part I: Making A Classic” and “Part II: Under Analysis”. Each section is further subdivided into four separate topics. The first deals with: the evolution of Cheers to the emergence of Frasier Crane; the story behind the eclectic cast; character profiles of Frasier, Niles, Martin and Eddy; and finally, a discussion of Daphne and Roz. The second part, as the name suggests, is more academically inclined with chapters examining ongoing character development in the Crane household; an in-depth look at Frasier’s apartment from structural and aesthetic perspectives, as well as in contrast to Niles’s home at the Montana; an analysis of set decoration, particularly chairs; and lastly, the representation of women, gender and race.

  • HBO Leads 60Th Primetime Emmys 30 Rock, Mad Men Take Top Series September 21, 2008
    HBO Leads 60th Primetime Emmys 30 Rock, Mad Men Take Top Series September 21, 2008 A 1960s advertising agency, a fictional sketch-comedy show and the second president of the United States were among the big winners at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Among the twenty-eight awards handed out over the course of the Television Academy’s diamond anniversary event, which was telecast live on ABC, HBO topped the night with 10 winged statuettes. NBC followed with four. Combined with its awards at last Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, HBO led for the year as well, with 26 in all. Leading the recipients of multiple awards between the two awards ceremonies was HBO’s seven-part historical miniseries John Adams, with 13 Emmys, surpassing a miniseries record set by another HBO production, Angels in America, which won 11 in 2004, and ABC’s Eleanor and Franklin, which won 11 in 1976. It was an evening of milestones and memories. Among the September 21 ceremony’s firsts: the Primetime Emmys’ debut in their new venue, NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE, in downtown Los Angeles. In another landmark, 2008 was the first time an Emmy was awarded for outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition program. The five nominees, Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal), Jeff Probst (Survivor) and Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) — commemorated the new category by hosting the festivities. In addition, a new record was set for consecutive wins in a single category when Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart prevailed as outstanding variety, music or comedy series and CBS’s The Amazing Race was named outstanding reality-competition program.

    annual report | 2018 our VISION We will be the first choice for those seeking residential and health ▲▲▲ care services and for employees committed to serving them. We will continue to contribute to the health, happiness, and well-being of seniors through innovation, expansion of quality care, and support for our members and the greater community. letter from THE PRESIDENT & CHAIRMAN TIMOTHY A. JOHNSON JAMES R. TOPPING Greetings! It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2018 Frasier Annual Report. In the pages that follow, you’ll learn about the highlights of the past year and find data, pictures and stories that will give you more insight. The unifying theme, Onward, is apparent throughout this report and our 2018 year. Mary Church Terrell stated, “And so, lifting as we climb, onward and upward we go, struggling and striving, and hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition ere long.” This quote resonates with our many accomplishments of the year – all while undergoing construction of our massive Master Plan expansion. Many construction projects were completed in 2018. The construction of The Prairies, our new 98-apartment independent living building, The Canyons Center at Frasier, the Wellness Center expansion, and the building of and refurbishment of dining venues, continued at a fast pace throughout 2018. To complement these projects and have cohesiveness throughout campus, our very engaged resident focus group led by Frasier staff developed a naming strategy/theme of “Colorado geographic features” for our buildings and service areas. Frasier also remains financially strong with positive cash flow, an extraordinary large amount of days cash on hand, high occupancies, and a wait list of over 400.
