  • 6. Let's Grow More Farmers' Markets: Editorial
    6. Let’s grow more farmers’ markets: Editorial Toronto Star – September 25, 2016 The easier it is to find fresh, locally grown food the more likely it is that people will buy it. Consumers benefit, and so do the small growers who traditionally provide fresh produce. That’s why it’s very much in the public interest to promote more neighbourhood farmers’ markets. And Toronto’s economic development committee has voted to do precisely that by chopping through the red tape that now makes setting up public markets complicated and slow. “Information about procedures, permits, fees and regulations is often incomplete and inconsistent,” Councillor Mary Fragedakis wrote in a letter to the committee. “Many markets trying to establish themselves are forced to navigate different city divisions and processes... without the reliability of a consistent streamlined process.” There are licensing requirements, corporate registration, public heath sign-offs, and a host of other bureaucratic hurdles that must be dealt with. Operators of small farms, selling stuff they’ve grown, are often in a poor position to steer their way through such obstacles. To help them negotiate the shoals of big city bureaucracy, Fragedakis has proposed creation of an expert working group to streamline the approval process. Her welcome initiative has won the committee’s backing and is to go before city council early next month. It should get enthusiastic support. “There is this huge movement for people to buy local (and) buy fresh,” Fragedakis said. But it needs to be better served. Potential new markets are floundering in confusing paperwork. “The demand is clear,” Fragedakis stated, noting that Toronto now has 35 dedicated farmer’s markets, up from just 10 a decade ago.

  • A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Alfred University Clowning
    A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Alfred University Clowning as an Act of Social Critique, Subversive and Cathartic Laughter, and Compassion in the Modern Age by Danny Gray In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Alfred University Honors Program May 9th, 2016 Under the Supervision of: Chair: Stephen Crosby Committee Members: M. Nazim Kourgli David Terry “Behind clowns, sources of empathy, masters of the absurd, of humor, they who draw me into an inexplicable space-time capsule, who make my tears flow for no reason. Behind clowns, I am surprised to sense over and over again humble people, insignificant we might even say, stubbornly incapable of explaining, outside the ring, the unique magic of their art.” - Leandre Ribera “The genius of clowning is transforming the little, everyday annoyances, not only overcoming, but actually transforming them into something strange and terrific. It is the power to extract mirth for millions out of nothing and less than nothing.” - Grock 1 Contents Introduction 3 I: Defining Clown 5 II: Clowning as a Social Institution 13 III: The Development of Clown in Western Culture 21 IV: Clowns in the New Millennium 30 Conclusion 39 References 41 2 The black and white fuzz billowed across the screen as my grandmother popped in a VHS tape: Saltimbanco, a long-running Cirque du Soleil show recorded in the mid-90’s.

Simone Knox From Josh Bowman, Liam Cunningham, Idris Elba, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, David Harewood, Kit Harington, Lena Heady, Hugh Laurie, Damian Lewis, Andrew Lincoln, Kelly McDonald, Iwan Rheon, David Tennant, to Ed Weeks and Dominic West – the presence of British and Irish actors in contemporary US television drama is certainly noticeable, spanning different genres as well as network, cable and streaming television. Add to this such recent outings on the big screen as by Christian Bale, John Boyega, Kate Beckinsale, Henry Cavill, Daniel Day- Lewis, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland and David Oyelowo, and it is clear that British and Irish actors have been achieving success in the USA in terms of both breadth and depth, with many securing prominent roles in high-profile productions.
