  • History of Fairfax City
    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.

  • Shebeens in the News: Contesting Alcohol Control Policies in the Western Cape, South Africa
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by IDS OpenDocs SHEBEENS IN THE NEWS: CONTESTING ALCOHOL CONTROL POLICIES IN THE WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA 1Mary Lawhon and 2Clare Herrick 1 African Center for Cities Rm 2.11, Level 2, Environmental & Geographical Science Building Upper Campus, University of Cape Town Rondebosch, 7701 South Africa Email: [email protected] 2 Corresponding author: Department of Geography King’s College London Strand London WC2R 2LS Email: [email protected] 0 Abstract Media coverage of the “problems” associated with alcohol is now widespread. However, there have been very few analyses either of newspaper coverage of alcohol or media coverage of alcohol policy, especially outside Europe or North America. However, this paper argues that given mounting concern with the long‐term health, economic, social and developmental consequences of risky drinking in the Global South, an exploration of newspaper coverage of nascent alcohol policy in such a context is both timely and valuable. This paper therefore explores how two South African alcohol control policies – the Western Cape Liquor Bill and the City of Cape Town’s liquor by‐laws – have been debated in two regional, English‐language South African newspapers over a four year period between 2007 and 2011. In so doing, it draws out the tensions between alcohol as a source of livelihood in a context of endemic unemployment and chronic poverty and alcohol as a source of poverty, crime, violence, social disintegration and health risks. It argues that in SA, alcohol serves multiple, overlapping and often competing social, economic and political agendas.

  • A Plural View on the Regulation of Shebeens in Cape Town
    A plural view on the regulation of shebeens in Cape Town Abstract The regulation of space has increasingly been seen to extend beyond the scope of the State to include decentralised, diffuse non-State actors. The regulation (or formalization?) of shebeens in South Africa has long been a key focal point for the State, as a means for regulating behaviour, controlling crime and disorder and generating State income. However the post-apartheid State has struggled to find new and effective ways to regulate alcohol in ways that respond to the myriad problems associated with its consumption. In the absence of effective regulation and enforcement by police, we examine four sets of non-State actors who contribute to the regulation of drinking spaces in informal settlements in Cape Town. We examine the particular strategies through which neighbors, shebeen owners and community leaders attempt to regulate the flow of alcohol and the effectiveness of such strategies in reducing alcohol-related harm 1. Introduction The production, sale and consumption of alcohol have long been targets of regulation at diverse scales and from different authorities. Since the emergence of the nation-State, top-down regulation through licensing and law-enforcement has been the dominant method of regulation. Even under such circumstances, however, the State is not the sole regulator; non-State actors including religious organizations, NGOs and self-help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous also intervene (Valverde, 1998). Alcohol sales, consumption and alcohol related harm in the global South have recently drawn attention from international health organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO 2011a; 2011b).

    UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, VANCOUVER STUDENT FEEDBACK 16-17 Student Profiles Madeleine Geography with International Study Olivia Geography with International Study Emilie Geography with International Study Flora Chemistry with International Study Sophie Economics Melisa English Language and Screen Studies Randal Music Laurie Social Anthropology DISCLAIMER: Feedback from former participants is made available by the International Programmes Office to assist students preparing for their time abroad. The comments expressed herein are those of individual students who have previously studied or worked abroad and do not represent the views of the International Programmes Office or the University of Manchester. While every effort is made to ensure the information is accurate and up-to-date it is essential that it is read in conjunction with the Study and Work Abroad Handbook and other official resources provided by the International Programmes Office. Madeleine I stayed in university-controlled accommodation. For the first semester I lived in Walter Gage, this was great because it's really close to everything on campus, however I found the flats quite anti-social and found it hard to adjust to a lifestyle where people don't seem to be friends with the people they live with. Most of my friends were living in Fairview and thankfully I managed to move into a flat there in the second semester. Fairview felt a lot more like a community and more personal. All university residences at UBC have very strict rules - there were quiet hours that began at about 10 pm on weeknights (we once had our RA come round and tell us to quieten down because our three person conversation was too loud!).

My friend and I had decided to arrive a day before the official check-in date in order to get a bit rest before getting started. The first week of my journey was an eye-opening one, as it was my very first time to go to North America. During that time, I chose to settle my university courses, bought some cooking utensils, made a bank account, registered for a local phone number, and strolled around UBC to familiarize myself with the campus environment. In the time of that first week, UBC had also arranged a school orientation for all incoming exchange students where you could get to know people around the world. On the second week of add-drop period, a group of HKUST Indonesian student across North America and I had decided to visit United States for 10 days. We completed this trip by going across west coast, with Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas as our main destination. I would like to say that aforementioned period would be best for travelling as the school workload was still light and you may be able to travel without having excessive burden of school projects.

  • Vancouver’A Ilk 2015 Haziran’Inda Geldiydim Ve Şehirden Çok Nefret Etmiştim
    Merhaba Yasemin, Ben Vancouver’a ilk 2015 Haziran’ında geldiydim ve şehirden çok nefret etmiştim. Her yer günlük güneşlikti, insanlar mutlu mutlu mal mal geziniyordu plajlarda, ama kimse denize girmiyordu mesela. Ne bileyim, bir türlü uyuşmadım, zaten New York’tan gelmiştim, hem şehirden hem de birinden ayrılmıştım, Kanada’nın “politically correct” havasıyla da sürekli kavga ettim. Sonra Mart-Nisan 2016 aylarını tekrardan burada geçirince biraz daha rahat hissettiydim. Geldiğimizde hava sürekli griydi, arada sırada ağır yağmur yağıyordu, ve insanlar o kadar da mutlu değildi. Havalar açılmaya başlayınca annem geldi, New York’tan gitmeden önce mecazi anlamda sikimle yazdığım ve düzelttiğim çok kısa iki filmi çektim, en son günlerimde ise çok daha rahat, biraz daha uzak bir mahallesinde yaşadım. Şimdi Vancouver’a melankoliyle bakıyorum, çünkü hayatımın bazı önemli bölümlerini (başka şeylerle alakalı olduğu için) burada yaşadım. Yazın taşınmam büyük ihtimalle, kışının yağmuru biraz uzun sürse de şehir içinde gezinmenin güzel olacağını hayal ediyorum. Pahalı olsa da ılık kış mevsimi ve basit kafa yapısı yüzünden1 Kanada’da rahat yaşanabilecek tek şehir gibime geliyor. Suşisi de güzel ve ucuz, sıkıldıkça yeni bir restorana gidip onların çılgın deneysel suşilerini deneyebilirsin. Aynı şekilde deli gibi butik bira kaynıyor şehir, her gün yeni bir tane içersen yarını beklemen için bir sebep olur, adeta yavaş ve yumuşak bir ötenazi gibi. Peki şimdi diyeceksin, “Derin, allah belanı versin, neden bana bunları söylüyorsun?” Açıkçası ben de bilmiyorum. Bana fikir sordun, benim de zaten şehir rehberi yazma tutkum var, bari bunlar buluşsun da sana şehir hakkındaki bildiğim her şeyi aktarayım, her ne kadar her şeyi sen zaten kendin keşfedecek olsan da.
