So even playing basketball Craig Mattick:Basketball has been a big part of your life When did you remember first picking up a basketball I do remember a little bit in fifth grade at recess picking up a basketball and shooting it around this is kind of cool," but I didn't really get serious very tall for my age and I wasn't very coordinated especially in dodgeball because you know it was- Lisa Van Goor:So I was one of those kind of we heard this rumor that this fantastic basketball player from New York City was moving into the house next to the reformed church Her dad was a reform minister that grew up in Iowa and he was just coming back to the Midwest with his family Craig Mattick:You're not talking about Dona Ray-Reed And so I kind of took my little shy self over there and got to know her and started playing basketball "Why aren't you at basketball camp and why are ..." I was probably about six foot And so her dad kind of pushed me to go out I don't know how he saw potential because let me tell you I can't tell you how many times I was going to quit my freshman year because I was so awkward and so clumsy I didn't have a basketball hoop at my house growing up so I bugged the neighbors and I was always over next door playing basketball at my neighbor's house or by at Diane's house Craig Mattick:You were the sixth of the seven kids in the Van Goor family the run of the family is my older sister and she's 5'8" He went out for cross country and he was really good in cross country I'm known as Joe Van Goor's sister back in Yankton He was on the high school basketball team when the Bucks won the state tournament in '78 We won the state tournament the same school year back in the day But none of my other brothers nor my sisters were really athletic one's a lawyer and we kind of all went our own ways Craig Mattick:Sanctioned girls' basketball didn't start in South Dakota until 1975 What do you remember about girls basketball getting started as a sanctioned sport there back in the mid-'70s I remember it was huge in 1975 when the Gazelles won the very first state tournament back then you didn't have a lot of role models but to come out of the block and win a state tournament We had already established that kind of winning dynasty And Bob Winter did everything he could to push us and get us to go out and practice really lucky to be at the beginning of the basketball The only thing I would say that was the drawback and obviously they've changed it was playing in the fall Diane Hiemstra started when she was a freshman at Yankton High School and she played on several It was kind of a junior Olympics so to speak And Diane played on several of those teams representing the region that included South Dakota but they didn't know really about me until they were recruiting Diane And that's how I got recruited to Colorado They were recruiting Diane and they were talking to Diane and they got the tape I shot up in the recruiting wars pretty significantly I would play on the B team and then I would dress for the varsity and I was one of the 12 that got selected I think it was Dona Ray's senior year and our probably sophomore year that I got to play with her on the varsity What a great three-year run for the Gazelles I think you went like 86 and three during that time And during that stretch you mentioned some of these players but what was making Yankton so good those three years that you win three straight titles obviously I think Yankton had a pretty rich basketball tradition on the boys' side He won the Boys State tournament in '74 and then he transitions into girls basketball in '75 Craig Mattick:He was only going to do it for one year though So I think once things got kind of started there was always rumors that he was going to leave or go coach somewhere else He motivated me in a way that wanted to make me a better player and to keep on working at it I can't tell you the hours I spent shooting a basketball going and playing noontime ball in the back of Nash gym at Yankton College He was a great motivator and he ran these basketball camps at Yankton College that were regionally girls' and boys' basketball camps that you could go to And so we had some of the top players from other schools in the Class A back then Brookings that would come back to these camps playing in the summertime against some of the better players in the state but also I played against guys because I didn't have anybody else to compete with that was my size Craig Mattick:You talked about being maybe a little clumsy early on and your body able to do what you wanted it to do Lisa Van Goor:I would say between my sophomore and junior year I'll go over to the park and I know you guys," we always ran a mile around the park before we went back over to run practice "You can check on me every day to make sure I'm doing what I'm doing I'm not going to disagree that being a track athlete But that's when I really had the spring and the summer to really work on my game and improve it She was a little resistant to let me work so much time She thought I should be home or finding a job to earn money for college You need to let her play because she is going to earn a college scholarship And how much can you say that about the rest of your kids?" Not to say that my brothers but when you get to be the sixth out of seven "Let her play," and she reluctantly let me play between my sophomore and junior year because I was always playing Yankton wins the state title beating Mitchell 49 to 30 What do you remember from that championship game I do remember the feeling of coming into Yankton and having a parade through town and then the celebration in the high school gym "This is really freaking cool." So like I said between that sophomore year and junior year I really worked and earned myself a starting position on the varsity in my junior year and of course you beat Belle Fourche that year by 10 How many points did you score in that game I think Diane probably had well over 20 points and I probably had somewhere in the teens I'm pretty sure it was in Rapid City that year And being Belle Fourche was a big time deal so it was exciting to come in and play against them Gazelles going for their third straight title there are two records that are still on the books from that game in 1979 The title game was against Rapid City Stevens It's the most points scored by both teams in a championship game otherwise I'm assuming that you would be there Diane Hiemstra scored 34 in that championship game Craig Mattick:So what do you remember about that championship and it was pretty sweet knowing that it wasn't over for me that I was going to go on and play at college and earn a scholarship recruiting was a little different back then so the recruiting rules were a little different I had been making visits and stuff like that It was kind of nice because I wasn't playing during the time that I was making all these visits It was a weird time back in the history with us playing in the fall and then the different rules So we had to pay for our way to go visit a school My parents flew me out to Colorado and then my parents drove Diane and I down to Nebraska and K-State and Missouri I got selected to play in a high school All-American game in New York that I think I got really noticed by all these .. I think we confused a lot of people back then because Diane was a hot commodity coming down from Denver over what we call the Davidson Mesa and seeing the whole campus in front of you the Flatiron Mountains and just the beauty of it we grew up in a beautiful place in Yankton There was a place for me to come in and start right away and contribute right away When did you feel comfortable playing college basketball "Those are amazing stats for a freshman." And as I mentioned before we really didn't have a whole lot of competition to practice against and play against especially those last few years in high school I played against guys that were playing at Mount Marty Yankton College I was recruited by a different coach at Colorado And so this is all when Title IX was coming into effect and the NCAA really didn't want anything to do with women's sports Colorado was kind out of compliance with Title IX and so they had to cut a bunch of minor sports so they could add women's sports You want to talk about the beginnings of Title IX and everything that's where it really got to be a issue for a lot of the colleges and universities because they had to make tough decisions on cutting men's sports so they have an equal amount of scholarships for women She went on and was very successful at Penn State Lisa Van Goor:Sox Walseth was a South Dakota native He was on the GI Bill and he came to Colorado to go on the GI Bill and he was standing in some line and they were asking if there were any guys that wanted to play basketball And so he ended up playing for CU and then he became the men's .. he became the head men's coach for the University of Colorado men's program Rene leaves and goes to Penn State and Sox comes in She told me to leave Colorado because they were like You need to look at other places." So I was out on my letter of intent looking at going to Oregon and he talked me into staying at the University of Colorado I think this was July before my freshman year so to speak because I filled a void that they desperately needed Sox and I and my dad would come to Boulder all the time and he and Sox would just sit and have coffee at Perkins for hours and hours talking about their days he went back to South Dakota and coached at South Dakota State for many years and then here comes your senior year at Colorado and look who shows up Lisa Van Goor:We played each other our freshman year and then we also had recruited our chief nemesis when I was playing high school basketball The only team that we lost to was Brookings they would do the introductions for the University of Colorado and it's like Diane Hiemstra Are we at the University of South Dakota or what?" So it was a great memory and it was great too because I grew up with Kris in Yankton until she moved to Brookings and her dad became the athletic director and the coach at Brookings High School Craig Mattick:You only played four games though Lisa Van Goor:The injury was a stress fracture We were going on a road trip and we had started the season like gangbusters and so we started the season beating a fourth ranked team at home and we were off to the races and then I got hurt Couldn't walk and couldn't figure out what was wrong So I played very little of those next two games and they determined I had a stress fracture it allowed you to come back for another year I played three and a half years at Colorado So I wouldn't say it was my best two years I've ever had of my career playing basketball Craig Mattick:But you still scored more than 2,000 points male or female to score more than 2,000 points You're a finalist twice for National Player of the Year You weren't done though playing basketball because then pro basketball comes calling there wasn't anything of course in the United States for women to play pro basketball Somebody had contacted my coach Ceal Barry and said we're looking for a center to play in East France." So I said So I guess they decided that I wanted too many changes to the contract But then I signed up with an agent out in New York who was representing all the top players in the country and I got kind of a little discount because I was the Wade Trophy finalist and an all-American you can go to the beach or you can go and wear ski boots in Sweden." So I chose the Canary Islands which are owned by Spain my very first year you were second in the league in scoring when you were in Spain They didn't know how to guard you there in Europe I think there was only one American at that time So my chief competition were against other Americans Craig Mattick:So you played for Spain and Italy and France How good were you at learning to speak the language while you were there I wasn't there long enough to learn that I was taking .. And then there was a girl who grew up on the border of Spain and France And then my other foreign teammate was from Bulgaria That's the first part that you learn of any of these languages so you had to learn pretty quickly how to be assertive in learning the language Craig Mattick:You played seven years in Europe there may have been a few things that fall apart but what was the best thing about those seven years in Europe When you play Division I sports at a college level I came out of my shell because you couldn't be that shy You would have to learn how to ask for something in a different language and be assertive They had a different view of living compared to the United States The siestas at 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon compared to these other places that some of these players go to I couldn't imagine playing in some of these more Third World countries like Russia or Eastern Europe I played on a couple of national teams when I was in college and we went to Yugoslavia and Romania and Cuba "I don't know if I could live in any of these places." So I was really lucky when I went over and played professionally that I was in great places Craig Mattick:Do you think about what it would've been like if the WNBA would've been around or even you trying to play today how wonderful that opportunity would've been but I wouldn't have traded it for the experience that I had those seven years How lucky was I to travel all over Europe and see Europe and get paid for something I love to do Would it have been great to play in the United States but I was getting paid more money than those first couple years as a WNBA a lot of those players go over to Europe to play because they do get paid better than they do in the United States things have changed in a very short period of time which is totally mind-blowing how one person could change the trajectory of a game it's been awesome because there's been so many great players in the WNBA And to just see the impact that one player or two players have had on growing the game and making that kind of impact is totally .. and Holwerda being on the same team somewhere playing for Chicago or something like that I think by the time Diane got done playing I think she went over and played in Germany we didn't have cell phones that we could pick up and call home Mail took 10 days to two weeks to get home now they can because they have all those things You're in the Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 and the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010 fortunately they did it after I was well done playing my career I was old enough to really appreciate what I had accomplished to be honored for something that I absolutely love doing The one coming up probably means as much to me as anything going into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame and I did it with a lot of hard work." I wasn't always the best athlete out of everybody I played against So it's very gratifying to have these honors Craig Mattick:After playing pro basketball Lisa Van Goor:I knew Colorado was always going to be home I just didn't know what I was going to do with my life but I was so far removed from getting that degree really hard and I really wanted to go be in an athletic-related .. but I had just been traveling my whole life and I just wanted a place to set down roots I didn't know what I was going to do with my life I knew I wanted to be affiliated with Colorado There was not a whole lot that my resume reflected that I had done other than play professional basketball and I had a college degree but I just always knew Colorado was going to be home Craig Mattick:Couple of more questions for you If there was a three-point line when you played in high school or college how many points do you think you would've scored I would shoot outside quite a bit from the elbow And then it was probably my fifth year that we went to the smaller ball and we had the three-point line and I'm like all the European players that I played against in the pros I had the captain of the Russian national team She was my size and she was out shooting three-pointers and I told her to get her butt inside and help me out with the other Americans that we were playing against And the girl that broke my record after 28 years has a three-point line and she played four years and played more postseason games than I did the people that have the records now are the three-pointers So it's kind of odd that I still am up there with points because I didn't have a three-point line And you know who'd have been really great is Diane Hiemstra Diane Hiemstra would've been in the top five of and so would Kris if we had the three-point line our whole college career Craig Mattick:What do you think of the current college game I feel bad for these coaches that have been in the game You have to think so much outside of what the game of basketball is to accommodate this transfer portal and the NIL where am I going to come up with enough money to have this player come play for me?" You may know all about Deion Sanders's model of using the portal and kicking players out to the portal if they weren't good enough to play where it changes the definition of being a student-athlete It used to be the NCAA put so much importance on being a student first and then an athlete second This whole transfer portal and the NIL changes all that for the Olympic sports and some of the women's sports it's not as much of a deal and people are there to get a college degree but it's really changed the whole definition of college sports when you talk to high school girls' basketball players about wanting to play in college I am more exposed to the college seniors that are going off to decide if they want to play overseas or try the WNBA I don't know that I've really spoken to a high school athlete about going to the next level with my great-niece that plays for Sioux Falls Lincoln she'll be a good enough player that I'll have that conversation I don't know because it's a different world it was completely different world of recruiting and the way that they communicate with recruits through social media and texting or they would call my high school coach and ask if they could talk to me after many years of working in athletics at CU which was a dream of mine always to come back and be a part of the program and be a part of being around athletes they were trying to help one of their former teammates who got cancer and they were trying to raise money to help him with all the expenses and then try to help his family after he passed away And there wasn't a mechanism in the university to do that So they started their own nonprofit to raise money for athletes that get into that situation where they can't go back to the university and I need to pay for treatment." So we've been in existence since 2005 There's not many universities that do for their alumni what we do I've been the executive director at Buffs4Life since probably 2010 it resonates with our former athletes especially because if we ever get into a situation that we need money or need help to get through an illness or a death in the family then we would want to rely on our teammates to come and help us So that's what it resonates with our former athletes I do contract work as well for the university doing special events and grand openings and things like that Craig Mattick:In Play with Craig

YouTube John Bommarito: Music from Olivia Van Goor on The Song Break on 891 WEMU “Don't Be Mad at Me,” that is “Over the Rainbow.” Speaking of Olivia the beloved member of the Michigan jazz scene is joining me in the studio today John Bommarito: I’m finally meeting you in person I didn't get a chance to see your performance at the 5:01 Jazz Series this year but we were honored to have you and had a great response from it Olivia Van Goor: Everyone there was interested and listening and appreciative John Bommarito: It's kind of like a listening room I don't get that many opportunities to have a fully engaged audience to that level where the excitement and the enthusiasm was quite palpable and then my family moved to Ohio when I was like five right in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park John Bommarito: Not the place where they hate Michigan so much but I grew up thinking that we were going to move back to Michigan very soon and then it ended up being my whole childhood and I moved back when my parents moved to Milford when I was still in college And then I decided once I graduated and I kinda got to know the Michigan music scene I got a little job teaching at a music school and then I was just going to play everything out so my summer of playing everything out then went into just a lockdown there were a couple of years that seemed to be missing from my brain But then I look back and I think about the timing of being unsure about how to pursue music and then feeling like I was behind in my learning because I didn't really know that much about this and I didn't know what I didn't know until I found the right mentors Found the right mentors in this area and felt like all I needed left was to practice and to put it into action so it wasn't the worst thing in the world for me I did one on one lessons with Scott Gwinnell John Bommarito: Who are your local mentors I connected with April Teeny when I did Scott's camp and her along with Ellie Martin She and April were so encouraging and so inspiring I met Paul Keller and I met all of the Ann Arbor folks I kind of started to branch out around here And I would say all of my peers are mentors to me in one way or another I am continually learning so much from… especially the instrumentalists that are willing to extend their hand and information to singers but did Prince influence your favorite color but I feel like something changed where all of a sudden it was cool to like purple “I do like purple!” And then I grew up more if I was going to get something in a color so that I could convince you to do some Prince covers in a jazz style How much time is spent learning new songs versus performing for money versus writing new songs because over the last couple of years I've been doing gigs where and I would want to always learn stuff that they're excited about I'd always be asking other musicians that I'm working with or just hearing people say you should learn this song” while we were at a jam session And then it turned into I was robotically learning songs just because someone else told me that I wanted to Then I didn't really realize what I actually was learning it for anymore I couldn't really grasp onto any meaning of some of these songs because I was just learning it So lately I've been trying to do less of that “you should learn it.” I used to take that super to heart “I have got to learn this song by the next time I see this person.” It paid off in some ways because I think it showed people that I was serious But then now it's taking up so much of my time and I'm not even connecting with the specific songs anymore trying to do more of following my heart in terms of what I like and only learning songs specifically for a show If I'm doing a show with an orchestra and obviously Just because I want to know as many songs as possible I try to learn songs in a lot of different ways I try to listen to music in a lot of different ways listening to a track and listening to a song to start memorizing something And maybe later tonight I'll try to have more intentional following my heart listening for a couple hours or something like that John Bommarito: Stuff you just want to listen to John Bommarito: How about writing new material It's hard because I've been struggling with how to keep up with the work how to feel inspired by learning the music still and learning standards because it just feels like it takes so much energy So probably right now it's been mostly words that I find inspiration from My guest today on The Song Break is Olivia Van Goor and we are chatting about her life and stuff that she's got going on I noticed sometimes that you don't just play gigs here in Michigan John Bommarito: Some of our people to stay here Tell me about your touring outside of the state I guess if it's out of the state or out of the area Olivia Van Goor: It happens as much as it happens I learned my lesson with taking gigs even in March John Bommarito: Sliding off the road is not worth it I have connections with people in Columbus whoever expresses having interest in having me and I also especially love gigging outside of town because I hire local there So I've expanded my book of musicians that I can play with or maybe they needed a singer for something and then I could kind of work together with people to create a little bit of a tour So I just did a couple of weekends this past month and I think I'm going to be in town a lot this summer I haven't booked the next gig for a couple of those venues I just kind of follow… I've been resisting the cold call grind lately because I've felt a little burnt out but I feel inspired lately to start reaching out to more venues But I need to take a break from that because I felt like if I focus too much on the out-of-state people then I'm not connecting as much as I want to with the local just briefly before we went on the air here Tell me a little about how you are affecting other musicians in their journeys when I first started and I met April and Ellie a big message that I heard from April specifically that was so inspiring to me was that I had to make it happen if I wanted it to happen There's a lot of different avenues that people take Maybe they go to school in this area and then they find teachers who will get them opportunities or whatnot But I had a couple of things where I didn't have a lot of friends or family in this area to ensure that I could bring people to a show So that was kind of out of the question for certain venues and it worked out because I found myself able to float around to different groups of people because I didn't necessarily have the one click of which was really helpful because I learned a lot I didn't have as many resources as I saw my contemporaries I took that as a challenge and then kind of followed a couple other people's footsteps with how to literally hustle for gigs And I figured the best way that I could start having people work with me is if I get a gig And I've noticed that part of the problem is that other musicians don't feel as ambitious about promoting themselves but then later on they'll regret it and they'll be like I wish I did that before.” So lately I've been trying to put myself out there as someone who can help other musicians because that in itself can be a very isolating place to be Because if you don't know how to play an instrument or if you don't feel welcome within the other jazz community members “just a singer,” then you're going to already feel like you can't do it and this is just kind of fallen in this way I think people saw that my way of branding myself and putting myself out there was working Then I've gotten questions of how can other people do it I did something for the Michigan Jazz Festival in the winter And I plan on doing other types of clinics and stuff like that in the future I'm sure you can find exactly how to get involved in that world and you're one of those people who think “I could use that help,” Olivia is here to help We’re visiting with Olivia Van Goor on The Song Break and I noticed that some of the top tier musicians that you play with are people like my friend Bob Mervak Tell me about what you've been working on since Don't Be Mad at Me Paul and I have worked together for a long time and part of the reason why I think this was bound to happen is because we started to arrange together and it started to snowball into kind of having the same ideas and being on the same page in terms of how to arrange a song that we decided to start trying to write more songs We got together and I think we were trying to write a big band arrangement of an already existing song about spring “what if we try to write our own song?” I had written lyrics before for songs that he had or I've written my own lyrics for instrumental jazz songs I think that was also inspired by the fact that a lot of songs that Paul writes are very about the human experience about friendship and about nature and how a lot of those things relate and in life and living and those kinds of things I think I wrote a couple lines and he suggested a couple of things here and there It has to have been a couple weeks ago at this point we also do that when I get together with him What else have you worked on that might make up a full record or at least an EP Olivia Van Goor: I've been resisting the full album endeavor right now and kind of following my heart in terms of little projects that I can do and projects that are for other reasons than one full body of work I mentioned that obviously I grew up in Ohio and I also gig in Cleveland I've made friends with a couple of Cleveland musicians I even did a Valentine's Day show at the Bop Stop in Cleveland It went over so well that I brought my boyfriend and we connected with a trumpet player named Tommy Lehman and it was a mixture of songs that I had been doing for a while and some songs that I had been just kind of playing around with But there was one in particular that really that was awesome.” It was my arrangement of the song “Close to You” and we all felt it that I thought in my head I’ve got to record this one way or another and it'll be really cool because it would just be another opportunity to maybe record in a different studio I worked at the Akron Recording Company and we even did a video I just announced it that in I guess at this point it'll be on the 21st of June that I'm releasing “Close to You” I think it was so fun to do the video that I wanted to do another video especially because all my videos at this point are iPhone video but there's a certain level and you see it you can see a thumbnail and you can tell this is a professionally recorded video And I'm trying to upgrade and beef up my material even more John Bommarito: People take you more seriously if you look like you're a serious musician I like it.” I just don't think it has to be any more serious than that what's something else coming up that would be fun to promote Or how can I incorporate something that I haven't done yet And I came up with the idea that for in July I would record something with the pianist that I'm playing with and I kind of went from this being a student and I'm always a student I want to do something.” And then time it for the Michigan Jazz Festival in July "We've Got a World That Swings," and it's from the original Nutty Professor movie Olivia Van Goor: There's a Mel Torme version that's very cool And I noticed when I looked on YouTube and tried to find other versions but no one doing their own version of the tune And we recorded it at 54 Sound in Ferndale And it was super fun and just another experience of expanding my data on my in my head of how to do this John Bommarito: And maybe that becomes a standard What makes something a “standard” It's how often does it get covered That's how I talk about even how different songs still have verses that are common It's like it's just because people really like the Ella Fitzgerald version of “Someone to Watch Over Me.” So people still sing the verse because it just became popular But no one knows that there's a verse to the song “All of Me” because poor Ruth Etting’s version didn't…you know it's been a pleasure sharing some time with you Spring” And I'm sure in a future upcoming show I will have your new single available to play too Non-commercial, fact based reporting is made possible by your financial support.  <b>Make your donation to WEMU today&nbsp;</b>to keep your community NPR station thriving

Over the years the couple used the space to host prime ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon said they’re selling now because “they’re moving on to a different phase in life.” A lawsuit might be spurring that change. In February, a judge certified that a suit filed against Lowengrub’s Theatre Refreshment Co. may become a class action.

It also led to Van Goor being named a recipient of the 2024 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences Originally from Calgary, Van Goor started at Vertex Pharmaceuticals in 2001, just five years after earning his PhD in biological sciences at the U of A and on the heels of a postdoctoral stint with the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda “What was really neat for me is I took my love of science and the love of figuring out the unknown and turned that into using science to transform the lives of people with a serious unmet medical disease And I just think that’s the coolest job in the world.” Now the vice-president and head of cystic fibrosis research for the biotech pharmaceutical company based in San Diego Van Goor has spent more than two decades developing life-transforming drug combinations that repair the multiple defects in the protein found in people with cystic fibrosis When this protein is not working correctly chloride — a component of salt — becomes trapped in cells such as those found on the surface of the lungs ​​The trapped chloride prevents proper hydration of cellular surfaces which leads to the mucus buildup and the resulting damage to the lungs found in those with cystic fibrosis The genius of the current standard of care is that it combines three drugs that work through different but complementary mechanisms of action to combat the multiple defects in the protein caused by mutations in the gene that causes cystic fibrosis someone living with cystic fibrosis had a life expectancy of 38 years given they start early enough with Trikafta The benefits also include a decrease in lung transplantation and a decrease in pulmonary exacerbations which can result in permanent loss of lung function — all leading to a reduction in hospitalizations “The fact that it all started in a zoology lab under Dr Chang and later as a PhD student with (biological sciences professor) Jeff Goldberg is probably not your traditional path to where I am today.” Van Goor is leading Phase 3 clinical trials testing another drug combination that will be an upgrade on Trikafta Vertex is also collaborating with Moderna on a new therapy for the roughly 5,000 of the estimated 88,000 people worldwide with cystic fibrosis who don’t respond to current therapies Where did you come from?’” he said “I’ve really been thinking about that a lot lately and that experience at the University of Alberta and being from Canada is pretty neat the Breakthrough Prizes are the richest awards in recognition of scientific advances The annual prizes are given in mathematics and are sponsored by a host of tech entrepreneurs including Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan of Facebook and Sergey Brin Van Goor was joined by fellow U of A graduate Michel Sadelain, who was also awarded a 2024 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences in recognition of his discovery of cancer-fighting immunotherapy based on the genetic engineering of a patient’s own T cells You are using an outdated browser.

Each When The Shadows Fall track waltzes “I was really inspired by Veronica Swift and she’s one of the best jazz vocalists of the time right now," Van Goor said. "On her last album she took some musical theater songs that haven’t been taken by any of the legends and turned into standards and did them in that format “If you listen to an old recording of ‘Shadow Waltz,’ you’ll notice the style is completely different (from my version). I arranged all of the songs, and that’s my biggest originality to it, except I wrote the lyrics to ‘Hershey Bar.’” The Olivia Van Goor Quartet will return to Ann Arbor’s Blue LLama Jazz Club on Feb. 18 July 30 and will perform songs from When The Shadows Fall as well as some past and new tunes “I try to pull from current composers who compose in a standard kind of format and especially from women who write. There are these two vocalists, Jazzmeia Horn and Caity Gyorgy and I love their compositions,” Van Goor said and it’s still those same kind of harmonic movements that people recognize if they’re jazz lovers.” Van Goor opens When The Shadows Fall with the soothing, piano-centric ballad “Shadow Waltz” and she seamlessly shifts between soulful scats and smooth vocals while singing “In the shadows let me come and sing to you / Let me dream a song that I can bring to you / Take me in your arms and let me cling to you / Let me linger long “For ‘Shadow Waltz,’ that is a song from the musical 42nd Street and it’s about showbiz stuff,” said Van Goor “I don’t do ‘Shadow Waltz’ very much when I do small gigs because it’s a fairly involved arrangement I have a couple of big band gigs coming up and I’m really excited to sing that song because I think it has a lot of opportunity for me right now.” Van Goor continues to demonstrate her jazzy prowess on the delectable toe-tapper, “Hershey Bar,” as a jubilant quartet of piano It’s an instant sonic fix for hopeless romantics and self-identified chocoholics and I melt like a candy bar / Softer on the inside break past the chocolate shell / And I am all yours and it’s a Johnny Mandel composition for the Stan Getz Quartet It’s an instrumental bebop tune that one of my idols She just did scat syllables,” Van Goor said.  It wasn’t used for anything with The Hershey Company.” In addition to confectionary songs, Van Goor finds comfort in the wistful reflections of “Willow Weep for Me,” which provides a warm embrace of piano weep in sympathy / Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me / When the shadows fall “I took [the EP] title from ‘Willow Weep for Me,’ and there’s a line that says, ‘When the shadows fall.’ I love when musicians use lyrics from one of the songs that are not a song title as the album [name],” Van Goor said. “I love the fact that ‘Willow Weep for Me’ can sound really sad it’s obviously a heartbreak of some kind.” and collaborators William Marshall Bennett (piano) and Sami Blosser (saxophone) to shape the album’s enchanting sound He’s so knowledgeable that he would learn any song and would give me songs to learn,” she said and he loves the tradition just as much as I do He’s literally in the middle of the band and always communicates between the rhythm section and everyone else.” Van Goor started embarking on her jazz journey at Hudson High School in Hudson She landed a supporting lead role in a school production of Thoroughly Modern Millie and sang in choir and jazz band.   “There were three standards that I learned with the band ‘The Nearness of You,’ ‘God Bless the Child,’ and ‘On the Sunny Side of the Street.’ Those are three that I still sing a lot and I’m so grateful for that because I’ll never forget those tunes,” said Van Goor Van Goor sought inspiration from Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald and continued exploring music in college She studied music and economics at Denison University in Granville and completed two summer Detroit Jazz Workshops with mentor Scott Gwinnell “I would drive from Milford to downtown Detroit for a couple hours and take different classes run by different teachers and then do a vocalist workshop That’s where I found out that I actually knew more than I thought,” said Van Goor who relocated with her family to Michigan in 2017.  After graduating from Denison University in 2019 Van Goor started teaching at Michigan Rock School and attended open jam sessions and performed at Cliff Bell’s and Blue LLama Jazz Club ‘I’m just going to study my butt off.’ During the entire pandemic it was literally like frying my brain with knowledge It was almost like I put myself through a jazz program,” Van Goor said Van Goor wants to focus more on live shows before recording another project “I’m gonna try to see how far this EP will take me but I don’t want to rush through it," she said "I want to see if it will help me to make some more connections that will make it easier for me to record."

I was thinking ‘why don’t you have an eco-friendly option? Haven’t you seen the turtle video?’” Dr Goor reached out to the owners and they agreed to participate in an experiment: users would be offered a choice of standard or environmentally friendly straws “Although one straw was made of plastic and the other was made of cornstarch The two boxes of straws were clearly labelled and positioned next to each other on the counter A research assistant watched gym users come and go The assistant spent a few hours a day observing purchases over a 16-day period in general gym-goers chose the eco-friendly straw but they were actually less likely to choose it after their workout “We knew then that it wasn’t just about how people feel in the morning verses the afternoon or evening Participants were randomly assigned to tasks of varying difficulty two groups were given an extract from a Shakespeare play People in Group A were given a fairly straightforward task such as finding the second word in the first line of the extract and underlining it Group B were asked to find more words in longer as a gesture of appreciation for their participation in the study There were two prizes up for grabs: a standard reusable water bottle and another Participants were asked to indicate their preference those who’d completed the harder task chose the standard water bottle while those who’d been given the easier task went for the greener option It might be easy to take a gloomy view of what the results tell us about human nature but Dr Goor doesn’t think we should be too quick to judge “I don’t think what we’re seeing is malicious But not necessarily deliberate.” What does she think is driving their choices They don’t have the mental energy to think about larger concerns.” The Shakespeare experiment has now been replicated dozens of times We’ve experimented with different products and stimuli and we see the same thing every time; the more effort someone expends the less likely they are to choose the green option.” Participants have been asked to choose between everything from different types of pens and plates to a complementary journey on either an electric or standard train “It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a souvenir or an experience that participants would be consuming Dr Goor and her team have also experimented with different populations Israelis and Americans and we’ve explored different groups within those populations “Some of the people we’ve interviewed are students but many of them were just people who sign up for random surveys We’ve also been meeting real consumers in the gym or on e-commerce platforms.” How does Dr Goor marry her findings with our population’s urgent need to move towards a greener although what we’ve been looking is what drives people away from the greener option we can use the results of our research to encourage the reverse.” Of course the simplest approach is to target consumers during the times they are most likely to buy green – but she believes we can go further “Getting green products in front of people earlier in the day is good but we should be looking at designing experiences that encourage people to make greener choices in any situation stress-free shopping experiences or experiences that remind people of times they’ve felt that way we could nudge them towards making better choices.” the possibility of positively impacting consumer’s choices is not only deeply exciting but proves how worthwhile the study of marketing can be “Every now and then one of my marketing students will ask me what the point of our work is Aren’t we just getting people to buy more things they don’t need I think results like ours show how marketing has the potential to help people make choices that are better for them and better for the planet It’s not about forcing people to do things they don’t want to do but about how we can harness people’s purchasing power for the greater good.” Dr Goor wants to explore if the ‘effortlessly green’ phenomenon generalises across other pro-social acts “We know people are less likely to choose a greener product after a long day but would this also apply to helping a stranger or giving money to charity I want to see how psychological entitlement plays out across other ethical issues.” There’s also a number of interesting questions she’d like to explore within sustainability “Another thing I’m interested in is looking at how people feel about greener options across different product categories There’s been some research that suggests people have negative assumptions about the cleaning power of eco-friendly detergents But the same people will rush out to buy ‘natural’ skincare products Understanding the psychology of these decisions is going to be key to understanding what motivates someone to shop more sustainably.” Master the fundamentals of sustainability and corporate responsibility Turn global challenges into sustainable growth opportunities and achieve a positive impact with your

more times than most There’s a sensuality and smirk in her voice reminiscent of 1920s born singers such as Doris Day promises a fulfilling and thoughtful career Van Goor and collaborators William Marshall Bennett (piano) pull from deep within the Great American Songbook and then a little further afield to give new and timeless life to some lesser known jazz classics At the heart of the success of the EP is Van Goor and Bennett’s lockstep supported by a subtle and sensitive rhythm section “Willow Weep For Me” is a vibe for a first track as interpreted here A slight uptick in tempo in addition to the character of Van Goor’s vocals transforms words about heartbreak to playful seduction weep in sympathy / Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me.” The piano solo features recurrent descending scalular licks and trills conjuring images of tumbling willow branches and dancing leaves Solid execution of this and the second track firmly establishes Van Goor’s right to the mic The jazz standard also sees an upbeat interpretation reminiscent of versions by Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Tormé “Don’t make a sound / It’s so dark / Even Fido is afraid to bark / What a perfect chance to park / And there’s no moon at all” In keeping with the established themes – nature and romance – and introducing the secondary theme of this EP – food – “Lilac Wine” by James Shelton is an ambitious selection for a debut Witten in 1950 and premiered in the theater musical revue it’s a highly theatrical number about taking refuge from the loss of a lover in the consumption of lilac wine Van Goor hits some stunning emotive moments in this rendition Her vocal inflection when she sings “because it brings me back you” and each time she sings “Lilac wine is sweet and heady” hints at a masterfully emotive rendition that fell just short of manifesting in this recording written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin and premiered in the 1933 musical film “Gold Diggers of 1933” joins a still exclusive list of contemporary jazz singers revitalizing the tune Van Goor and company shine in this arrangement featuring for the first time on the EP Van Goor’s scat skills in delightful conversation with Harris’s bass and subsequently scatted by Anita O’Day in 1960 Van Goor’s version featuring all new original lyrics is a laudable creative contribution to the song’s canon “Even if I could I would never change a thing / that’s why you and chocolate both are my favorite things.” A fusion of bebop and chocolate metaphors at Stan Getz speed make for a fun ride Catch the Olivia Van

Goor are partnering up on a film They collaborated on the Kaling/Priyanka Chopra wedding comedy that was picked up by Universal after a heated auction in 2019 Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah adapted the novel by Amanda Brown for the first film and were previously in talks to write the script “Legally Blonde” grossed $141 million worldwide while its followup secured $124 million at the global box office The first film followed Elle Woods as she went to Harvard Law School after she was dumped by her boyfriend to join the staff of a congresswoman in hopes of passing a bill to ban animal testing In 2015, the actress said the timing is right for a third film because “we’re talking about women in politics and how important that is to get more women And I think it’d be kind of a cool thing to have her be a Supreme Court justice or someone who runs for office.” Kaling recently co-created and executive produced the Netflix series “Never Have I Ever.” She also most recently starred in “Late

Print JERUSALEM — The word for a biblical pestilence — magefa — has survived down through the centuries there is scarcely a day when Evan Kent — a Los Angeles cantor who moved to Jerusalem seven years ago with his rabbi husband — does not hear it uttered amid the old stones he was a mainstay of the Westside’s Temple Isaiah as well known for charisma and compassion as for the hauntingly melodious tones he brought to his role as cantor Now he and his husband, Rabbi Donald Goor, find themselves at the confluence of extraordinary events that would not be out of place in a scriptural parable now face daily strictures meant to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus infection A bar mitzvah picture of Donald Goor with his father grandfather Herman Multer and great-grandfather Theodore Multer on May 29 (Donald Goor) They shelter indoors forbidden to walk familiar Jerusalem streets named for Old Testament figures and cultural giants Their vibrant pastoral life is curtailed; they are separated from elderly parents But in a particularly painful twist, the pair is also cut off from the congregation they serve as nonresident clergy in the heart of coronavirus-devastated northern Italy. They normally fly to Milan for the holiest events of the Jewish calendar. But Passover is less than two weeks away, and a visit is impossible. Still they are kept abreast of the despair. One Milanese congregant wrote to Kent, describing an overloaded, collapsing health system, with Italian doctors making once-unthinkable decisions about who among patients with catastrophic respiratory failure is given access to life-saving ventilators. “It’s like prophecy,” said Kent. “And just like the ancient prophets, the warnings aren’t heeded. I think we all feel embattled. We’re all unprepared. And we all feel directionless.” Accustomed to accompanying their Milan flock through joys and sorrows large and small, the cantor and the rabbi are left at a wrenching distance. Since 2012, when their association with Milan’s Temple Beth Shalom began, Kent and Goor would preside over commemorations of holidays including Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. But by early March, the virus outbreak prevented them from traveling to Italy for Purim, the joyous festival marking the Jews’ salvation from a threatened massacre in ancient Persia. And now Passover, the springtime rite of rebirth that marks the Israelites’ flight from slavery in Egypt, is almost upon them. But there are miles these days that cannot be crossed. The couple’s own journey to the Holy Land was a long one. They settled in Goor’s native Southern California in 1987, a year after they met as seminary students in New York’s Hebrew Union College. Both found long-lasting pastoral homes in Los Angeles, Kent as cantor at Temple Isaiah, and Goor, the son of San Diego Rabbi Joel Goor, as senior rabbi of Temple Judea, in Tarzana. In some ways, though, Jerusalem had always called to them. In 1972, during a tumultuous era of wars between Israel and its Arab neighbors, Kent’s family came to the city for his bar mitzvah. Despite the distance from their former California lives, Goor and Kent have remained immersed in the world of Reform Judaism, in which both are prominent. Kent represented the American Conference of Cantors during the creation of the Reform movement’s new machzor, the Jewish prayer book used on the High Holy Days. Goor is the editor of the guidebook for rabbinic pastoral work for the Central Conference of American Rabbis and chairs the group’s publications. He also serves as the rabbinic liaison for Daat, an international travel-planning company specializing in religious and educational tours. “All I do now is cancel events,” he said ruefully, referring both to his role as a rabbi in high demand for now-curtailed bar mitzvahs and weddings and to his job as a travel consultant for other rabbis. Before the two moved to Jerusalem in 2013, they envisioned all manner of challenges. “We thought about Jewish orthodoxy here,” said Goor, referring to conservative sects in Israel whose influence is magnified by powerful political parties. “We thought language acquisition would be an issue. Also homophobia, being far from our families, cultural displacement — maybe war.” A man rests outside Jerusalem’s Old City walls. (Uriel Sinai / Getty Images) Although plagues are a poignant recurring theme in Jewish history and teachings, they never really contemplated experiencing one personally, as they are now. Friends always ask if the two feel safe in Jerusalem, which over the years has experienced spasms of violence, including bus bombings and suicide attacks. Kent, while describing himself as “generally not in line with the Israeli government in terms of policy,” pointed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to the outbreak: swift imposition of travel restrictions, quarantines and stringent rules on public gatherings. Such measures probably saved lives, he said. Goor, for his part, cited the country’s advanced medical facilities and universal healthcare. “In America, you’ve got private healthcare, and from what we’re seeing, a lack of coordination at all levels of the local, state and federal response,” he said. “Here, we get a sense that it is all coordinated.” Before the beginning of mandatory isolation amid the country’s lockdown, the couple hosted frequent Sabbath dinners, featuring Kent’s homemade challah — eggy braided bread — with service on bone china given to them by Goor’s grandmother. Their light-filled Jerusalem living room is adorned with family mementos and religious artifacts — a photo of four generations of Goor’s family at his 1971 bar mitzvah in San Diego, nestled among Hanukkah menorahs and kiddush cups, the elaborate goblets used for sanctifying Sabbath wine. Far from seeing themselves as strangers in a strange land, they have embraced what Kent, with a smile, calls “this adventure we’re living.” If anything, the larger themes of displacement and redemption are central to their faith. Kent, who holds a doctorate in music education from Boston University, spent much of the last year crisscrossing the United States performing his one-man show entitled “Shards,” which he calls a comedic drama exploring the search for home and homeland. Their life together also personifies the marriage of tradition and technology. Kent teaches the singing of ancient liturgical music, shifting much of his work online via Zoom. He posts daily candid videos describing life in Jerusalem during the coronavirus, connecting with friends and congregants on Facebook. Kent and Goor exchange daily messages with the synagogue leadership in Milan. Together, they are preparing for Passover, weighing how it can be celebrated and observed in these dark days of pandemic and death. “With war, you know what you’re dealing with, because you know there will be an end point,” Goor said. “Now, we don’t know what we’re dealing with, and we don’t know what the end point may be.” California World & Nation Subscribe for unlimited accessSite Map has a growing library of hits with the Peacock including Parks and Rec and The Good Place As the series prepares to launch its first premiere on its new home Thursday night show-runner Dan Goor assures fans that they’re in for the same shenanigans they’ve always enjoyed—with one little addition “NBC was really clear that they liked the show we were doing and that was the show they were buying,” Goor told V.F “Our fans were clear that they liked that show and that’s the show we wanted to be doing.” the series had begun to take more risks in terms of form and content (Think of examples like Season 5’s “The Box,” which guest-starred Sterling K Brown and took place almost entirely in a single room with just Peralta and Holt present—or Season 4’s “Moo Moo,” in which Terry gets racially profiled by another police officer while off duty in his neighborhood.) “We’re continuing that trend and doing even more of those this year,” Goor said the series can bleep and blur thanks to more relaxed censorship rules—an allowance Goor said Nine-Nine will use to its advantage going forward Goor recalled a whirlwind of emotion—but the silver lining the drama and the fear are sort of a memory,” Goor said “But what’s lingered is really just that feeling of being blown away by how many fans went on Twitter and all the other social-media platforms to say how much they love the show This season will bring at least one bittersweet note: the exit of Chelsea Peretti, who will leave the series midway through the year Brooklyn Nine-Nine has already proven that it can withstand the loss of Peretti’s character who was absent from much of Season 5 due to her pregnancy Gina has been with the series from the beginning and Peretti’s presence has long been one of the many ingredients that give the series its delightful alchemy Just don’t expect a sob-fest of a send-off on-screen her request was that the scales be tipped in favor of it being funny over super-emotional,” Goor said “Chelsea is one of the funniest human beings in the world and really values comedy and so that’s what we’ve really tried to do.” Goor said Peretti’s exit will comprise a two-episode arc she is also a beloved character on the show and so there are certainly heartfelt moments We also really wanted to justice to the character so the second of those two episodes is four Gina stories Each act is a different Gina story and she’s so good in that episode She’s just so funny and such a good actress it’s really a joy to watch.” There are no immediate plans to replace Gina at the precinct This season’s premiere finds Jake and Amy on an extravagant honeymoon full of “coconutting”—we’ll let you discover the meaning of that term on your own—and also resolves the Season 5 finale cliffhanger regarding Holt’s bid for police commissioner but Goor did note that its resolution will have ramifications that impact the entire season.) Goor is also excited for fans to see the show’s second episode which reveals what Hitchcock and Scully were like in the past as well as another installment that takes place entirely at a single crime scene similar to “The Box.” “It’s a very different episode,” Goor said “but stylistically I think it’s really interesting and cool.” The writers are also working on an episode that unfolds in real time One of the striking things about Brooklyn Nine-Nine is that even after five seasons and counting Many series that reach this point begin to show their age—either by becoming repetitive or by jumping the shark When asked how Brooklyn has avoided such pitfalls “I’m not 100 percent sure how we’ve managed to do it—if we’ve managed to do it.” One thing he said that the writers attempt is to allow characters’ development to guide the series: “I think one aid—in our not repeating ourselves—is that some of the things that would feel repeat-y also just feel out of character now,” Goor said “There are times where somebody will pitch a story and it’s a really funny story But speaking of the show’s age: how long would Goor continue this series I think we still have a lot of stories to tell and there’s a lot of funniness still to be mined from these characters and the precinct,” Goor said — Don’t call it a Dernaissance, call it Laura Dern’s much-deserved close-up — Ethan Hawke gets candid about the Weinsteins and Spaceys of the world — “I have a little bit of control over my destiny” —Nicole Kidman — Harrowing tales from the St. Barth’s Yacht Convention — The year ahead in British royalty Looking for more?

Print You might say Dan Goor is on cloud nine-nine The co-creator and show runner of Fox’s modest-performing “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” has garnered some bragging rights with the freshman cop comedy: It recently took home two Golden Globes -- best actor in a comedy for Andy Samberg and best comedy -- and was part of the comedy tag-team along with “New Girl,” that received the plum post-Super Bowl slot Show Tracker caught up with Goor as “Nine-Nine” settles into its new slot on Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m Read on to learn how his anxiety has given way to decorating FULL COVERAGE: TV preview 2014 When I visited your office before the start of the season You were afraid of decorating because you didn’t want to jinx anything There is a painting of Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) the same painting he tried to throw out and then took to his husband We have an amazing guy in our art department — Eric Skotnes — and he did a graffiti-art huge “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” poster that takes up two canvases that is above my couch There’s an ad for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” that ran in the New York Times that’s framed The word is all about.” And I have nicer furniture now that makes me sound like I’m David Letterman The Hollywood Foreign Press has given love early on to new shows in the past Talk about how you had been feeling about the prospects for the show Everything I’m about to say is going to sound incredibly cliché but it’s 100% true: I felt like it was a victory for us just to be nominated to cut through and be nominated was such a huge thing And so to actually win was fantastic and surprising and incredibly gratifying and cathartic and amazing I was really overjoyed because I really was just shocked to be nominated at all And then how soon do you get an email from [Fox’s chairman of entertainment] Kevin Reilly saying Kevin Reilly has been incredibly positive and supportive He said in the press that he is bullish about our prospects and he says the same stuff to us I think everyone at Fox was overjoyed that we had won And where did you watch the Super Bowl episode I watched it at my brother’s apartment in New York at 11:30 at night volume 3 so that no children were woken up “I can’t believe our episode of TV is on the Super Bowl.” Let’s go back to the beginning of the season There was some uproar over “Dads” ahead of launch — had that chatter made you nervous at all about what that would mean for “Brooklyn” — or given how people watch TV I feel like in today’s television landscape People watch by selecting things on their DVR It’s not like the old days where you had to take a TV Guide out or something I’ve been so busy trying to make our show work that I feel like I don’t have any worry left over for anything else besides that — much to my family’s chagrin Characters and dynamics — both on the screen and behind the screen — need to settle into a groove discovering what was working for the show and maybe what wasn’t and some of which we don’t have enough distance yet to figure out I feel like the cast gelled very quickly and really found their characters very quickly I think the entire ensemble seemed to take off We didn’t feel like we had to make any major adjustments for any of the characters PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV I’d say one adjustment we did make was we sort of adjusted Terry [Crews’] character [also named Terry] a bit because our original idea for him was that he was a completely broken man He was the perfect physical specimen — he was physically strong but psychologically weak and that it’s so valuable to have him in stories that limiting him to his desk and making him play a sort of mopey weakling was really handicapping him Over the course of the first half of the season really terminating in the Christmas episode we very consciously decided to bring him back into the field which was also a sort of stated goal of Holt I believe in the pilot — I don’t remember if that remained in but clearly the effect of having Holt in the office was bringing Terry out of his shell and that was just us catching up to the reality that Terry Crews is just incredibly funny and you want him in stories and you want him out in the field and to be active in the beginning of the season we concentrated a lot on the Holt-Jake dynamic because that is such a central dynamic to the show After establishing that — and that is still a central dynamic — we felt like we have such a fun ensemble we wanted to make sure that we paired Jake [Samberg] off with everybody in the ensemble And I think in the second half of the season we’ve done a pretty good job of doing A stories that involve Jake and Rosa [Stephanie Beatriz] in the Pontiac bandit; Terry and Ebony Falcon; Jake and Charles [Joe Lo Truglio]; Jake and Amy [Melissa Fumero] — and sort of exploring all those relationships Then there are just subtle things that you can’t help but notice Melissa is really funny when she plays an unsuccessful suck-up to Holt So there are things like that that we’ve discovered You plant a lot of seeds and then you see which plants grow we need to have Holt in the presence of dogs as much as possible” It’s so funny because that’s the kind of thing we were not a hundred — I think in that episode but we felt like he was a little bit light so I thought it would be funny to see him holding a couple of puppies We see them outside of the office quite a bit And in last week’s episode it was completely unconnected to a case Holt’s party was the first episode where nobody was doing a case So we were nervous about whether or not that would work It feels like a relief that we could do those stories as well occasionally but it’s nice to see the characters can exist and be funny outside of the office Let’s play a game of ‘pick a kid’: Is the Boyle character the one the writers have the most fun writing for Often it depends on the situation that the character is in Boyle is definitely a fun one to write for I am ridiculous when I pour out coffee and my brother is a ridiculous foodie There are times where I certainly like writing for him But I think everybody enjoys writing for all of them And we can’t forget Scully (Dirk Blocker) and Hitchcock (Joel McKinnon Miller) I’ve been on set and there is some fun improvising that happens — and there are a lot of incredible lines that are improvised Having him on set is like having another writer and he’ll pitch really funny lines for everyone Let’s talk about the Santiago and Peralta relationship you were kind of surprised that I saw something brewing between Amy and Jake — I don’t know if you had yet envisioned couple potential between them But now we’re seeing you sort of setting a foundation there We saw how people responded to “New Girl,” and recently “The Mindy Project” also seemed to consider going there we didn’t want to play that because we didn’t want to force anything there’s chemistry between these actors!” As we started shooting stuff and we would drop little things into episodes we really liked how they played off each other we wanted to show that Jake is a character who can be sort of an underdog because we’ve portrayed him as a great cop and everybody likes him She’s got her life together and he’s a little bit immature and it’s a reason for him to mature It’s something that we’ve moved toward a bit partly because we think the characters are funny together and partly because we felt like it helped dimensionalize Jake I think we’re very mindful of getting too caught up in a will they/won’t they between them We’re also not playing them — at least not yet — as star-crossed lovers I think we’re playing them as kind of brother-sister But we’re not at a place where they’re star-crossed I think it’s very conceivable that one of them could tell the other that they like him or her Sleepy Hollow’ boss talks bringing the fun and the crazy to TV Seth Meyers says move to ‘Late Night’ will change his metabolism ‘Parenthood’ boss Jason Katims on Joel-Julia, new comedy ‘About a Boy’ Entertainment & Arts Television Hollywood Inc. 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baltimore (August 1 2019) — The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation one of the largest private foundations in the United States is pleased to announce the selection of its newest trustee Goor is the first Israeli trustee in the Weinberg Foundation’s history His appointment was approved unanimously by the Board of Trustees on July 29 The Foundation’s Board of Trustees includes five outstanding individuals four of whom have been appointed since 2016 including: Ambassador Fay Hartog-Levin (Ret.) who began her term in May 2016;
