Kalos K. Chu’s “Frozen”-themed birthday pitch meeting and the space cowboy-themed Fringe Prom showed us that Crimson Arts shows up for lovers of the arts — musicians Then came Grand Elections: a rite of passage we became the newest staff writers of the Arts board ended up right next to each other in our board photo from pitching and editing to liaising with press reps giving voice and visibility to all the talented local artists in Boston and Cambridge In the second half of our exec term, all of the Arts board huddled together on the rooftop, mesmerized by “Twilight.” There, Jen A. Hughes taught us the intricacies of the Twilight love triangle and inspired a fervent love for the film among the board Once we stepped into chairdom, our first act in our new roles was lifting the infamous ban on Taylor Swift’s music at production nights, playing “Red (Taylor’s Version)” for the entire newsroom to hear While we encountered a slew of unexpected challenges early in our time as chairs we leaned on each other and came “back stronger than a ’90s trend.” From the Flower Power social and the space opera-themed Fringe Prom we spent almost every waking moment surrounded by the vibrant Arts community — and occasionally with friends from other boards central to our board and has been a way for us to reconnect with our Arts origins For our final production night of the year — in true Arts fashion — we blasted the new “Wicked” soundtrack with a few brave souls singing their hearts out across the newsroom We even considered replacing our beloved Arts mascot Timothée Chalamet with the internet’s latest obsession: Jonathan Bailey we want to thank all of the people who have shaped Crimson Arts into what it is today who express their passion for the arts through journalism and provide no shortage of content for us to proof Thank you to the Managing Editor for your guidance thank you to our unprecedentedly large exec and E.A.L Production nights can’t happen without you and we appreciate your dedication to your sections AM: “Long live all the mountains we moved.” ASP: “I’ve had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.” Arts Chairs of the 151st Guard of The Harvard Crimson —Outgoing Arts Chair Anna Moiseieva can be reached at anna.moiseieva@thecrimson.com.

Pittsburgh Union Progress Free-flowing traffic with no reason to slow down at toll plazas should be available to Pennsylvania Turnpike drivers in Western Pennsylvania by 2027 The turnpike commission approved two contracts last week worth $50 million for Allison Park Contractors Inc to build 11 overhead gantries between the Ohio border and the Fort Littleton interchange in Fulton County Although exact locations haven’t been finalized construction on the gantries should begin early next year and they should be in operation by January 2027 The agency finished construction on the system in the eastern part of the state — the Northeast Extension and from Reading to New Jersey — earlier this year It is doing final testing on the system and expects to begin operation there in January collects fees from motorists when they pass under gantries strategically placed on the highway across the state The gantry either reads the vehicle’s EZ-Pass transponder and charges a toll or takes a photo of the vehicle’s license plate and mails the owner a bill for the toll plus an additional fee to cover processing charges and entrance and exit ramps from the turnpike will be revised so they are almost the same as any other interstate highway The advantage for the motorist is free-flowing traffic where they can pay tolls without stopping rear-end collisions should drop and air pollution will be reduced because vehicles aren’t sitting in line to pay their tolls all-electronic tolling will reduce the amount of land the agency needs at interchanges It also will be easier to install new interchanges such as the one under design at Route 130 in Penn Township because it will be a simple on and/or off ramp The agency moved up its plan to go cashless by more than a year in June 2020 when it eliminated toll collectors at the start of the pandemic to reduce human interaction and the spread of the COVID-19 virus “We’re really excited to get this started,” said turnpike spokeswoman Marissa Orbanek and we should be ready to go at the beginning of the year Open Road Tolling will have 10 gantries on the main line of the turnpike in the eastern part of the state and nine on the Northeast Extension Eight also are under construction in the central part of the state Orbanek noted that many Western Pennsylvania motorists are familiar with the overhead gantries because they have been in use for many EZ-Pass users for several years as a way to avoid lines at toll plazas such as the one near Cranberry or near the Ohio border “It’s not like this is something completely new out west,” she said “It’s been used on the Southern Beltway [the new highway along the Allegheny-Washington County border near Pittsburgh International Airport that opened in October 2020] from the beginning.” the agency expects to save about $25 million a year Orbanek said most of the construction for the gantries will be done overnight to reduce the impact on traffic as much as possible the turnpike will shift to demolishing the old collection booths Drivers continued to use those booths at many interchanges because they performed the same function as the gantries registering EZ-Pass transponders or taking license plate photos for billing Eliminating those plazas will allow for free-flowing traffic across the turnpike Orbanek said that work is projected to be finished east of Reading by late 2026 and by late 2028 west of Reading Ed covers transportation at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette We sat down with part of the ownership group Robert Buchanan and John Bieranoski to learn more about the future location What was once a former martini bar will soon transform into the Allusion Brewing brand which is located at Duncan Manor at 1701 Duncan Avenue in Allison Park The 3,200 square foot facility will allow Allusion to nearly triple in size as compared to their existing location in Vandergrift offering seating for over 170 guests The space will be comprised mostly of seating for guests with the addition of a small kitchen and beer cooler Currently the Allusion team is working on construction to make the new taproom “feel as close to Vandergrift as possible” the team said 1920’s speakeasy feel with copper ceilings wood floors and more casual seating than they currently offer in Vandergrift when we are done with the space you will recognize that you are at Allusion Brewing” Buchanan said about the remodel of the building The Allison Park taproom won’t have onsite beer production as the space will be taproom only with all but one of them being Allusion offerings The plan is for them to keep one line open for draft cider they will continue to offer PA made cocktails and wine much like is being offered at their main brewery and taproom in Vandergrift In addition, the small kitchen will allow Allusion to continue to offer the robust food menu they have become known for Guests can expect a similar menu in Allison Park Buchanan shared that much of the feedback the brewing company has received over the years as a motivating factor “We just celebrated 3 years in business And during our 2nd year we wanted a way to get more people into the brewery we started distribution and being at more events to drive traffic back to our location During our 3rd year we did even more events/ distribution and kept being asked when we would open a location closer to Pittsburgh” Buchanan explained Buchanan went on to say that while this location brings them closer to Pittsburgh it is also an area they felt was ideal for brewery growth “There really isn’t much of a comfortable place to have a few drinks with friends in the area Everything in the area is a loud restaurant For local guests who have come to know and love the offerings from Allusion who is also responsible for brewing the beer confirmed that whatever is being offered in Vandergrift will also be offered in the new space “This location will have four introductory beers for those who want to try more approachable offerings and more West Coast and Hazy IPA’s as well” Bieranoski said we are producing about 400 barrels per year We have the capacity to do 1,000 barrels per year so production should be able to handle the new influx of beer in Allison Park” Bieranoski confirmed Tired of wasting money on 7-OH products that deliver more promises than results For every legitimate

use of vehicles in Dave Allison Park The Cutchogue-New Suffolk Park commissioners wish to clarify the facts regarding this matter in an effort to help the community fully understand how decisions were made The town beaches and park districts noticed a dramatic increase in park usage as COVID impacted our lifestyles The practice in Dave Allison Park had been to allow vehicles to drive through the middle of the park in close proximity to the children’s play area in order to access limited parking near the top of the bluff.  the heightened concern for the safety of the children and all park users became the prevailing focus The commissioners also determined the need for additional green space was warranted The topic was discussed at several park meetings that were publicly noticed as required Very few members of the public attended these meetings and no comments were offered by attendees related to this matter At the fall 2021 meeting the commissioners decided to discontinue the practice of allowing vehicles to drive through the park and park down near the bluff This decision was made primarily for the safety of the children and all park users with the added benefit of more green space and concomitant environmental concerns It was noted that there would be a savings of taxpayer money in that the park would no longer need to employ attendants While perceptions have been created that the primary reason for this decision was monetary the cost savings were secondary to the safety concerns and environmental benefits Several residents have expressed their dismay with regard to this decision over the last several months Demands have been made that we immediately reopen the road and allow vehicles to park near the top of the bluff the commissioners have vetted the matter with several representatives of the town retained professional services to obtain parking options within the park reviewed regulations regarding ADA accessibility as it relates to the park district observed parking at several similar local venues and have vowed to give consideration to the possible creation of limited parking within the park in the future.  We have received legal counsel favorable to our position including that there has been no violation of the law or the Americans with Disabilities Act we understand our obligation under ADA and would comply with ADA-accessible parking space(s) including specific spatial dimensions Any plan allowing vehicles within the park may require the relocation of the children’s play area the removal of trees and/or green space or additional safety barricades or fencing The commissioners have applied to the Southold Town Trustees to obtain a permit to trim the vegetation at the top of the bluff to a level where people sitting on the park benches or at picnic tables will be able to have a view of the bay We have made efforts to market our public meetings in a more comprehensive manner We have increased the number of meetings held each year We have established a website: csnparkdistrict/home We have posted past minutes and financial statements on the website.  We are in the process of making minutes available at Cutchogue New Suffolk Library transparent and inclusive of the public as possible We have committed resources to study this matter to listen to the public and to make informed decisions regarding access to the park Thank you for considering all sides of this important issue We deeply appreciate the public’s interest in both Dave Allison Park and Nassau Point Causeway Park and welcome public input The authors are Cutchogue-New Suffolk Park District commissioners who has turned around his tennis game with.. Leon Maurice Creighton of Greenport Village died Monday With the birth of river otter pups at the Long Island Aquarium and possible sightings of otters at Marion.. one of the three commissioners of the Cut­ch­ogue-New Suffolk Park District informed the other two members that he was resigning from the board In a letter to the editor of The Suffolk Times Vail explained that work underway at Dave Allison Park at the end of Pequash Avenue in Cut­ch­ogue would “make it harder for disabled people to use the park.” “I will not work with you in continuing this injustice to our community So I am resigning as a commissioner of the Cut­ch­ogue-New Suffolk Park District.” The roots of the dispute go back nearly three years when the then-commissioners of the district removed spaces for cars to park along the bluff overlooking the bay and planted grass instead One of the explanations for barring cars from the tiny park was that children used playground equipment close to where cars came in and out The park was the scene of placard-carrying protests in the spring of 2022 that demanded the cars be allowed in the park While there were no designated parking spots five or so cars had long been allowed to park along the bluff near steps down to the beach Since then, while the park remained closed to cars, the commissioners devised a smaller parking area for three cars, one of which would be Americans with Disabilities Act compliant and look out at the bay,” he said in an interview “The earlier commissioners decided to close it up It’s now just a vest-pocket park for people who live nearby … I made a motion to return the parking to its original space that little area that has been created is to have one handicapped parking space and two other spaces said the compromise was to allow parking for only three cars in the front of the park and away from the children’s playground area He said the district’s insurance company said that if cars were allowed to bisect the park to reach the bluff area barriers would have to be installed to protect the playground area “He wanted to restore what had been there before This is a compromise between no parking at all or parking on the bluff and thus bisecting the park with a roadway… Our primary concern with this project was the safety and security of the park users and that to meet Carl’s demand of restoring the car access and open parking would pose a serious risk for all users of the park.” with a special election then being held in December “We accepted Carl’s resignation and thanked him for his service,” Mr Attestation for Receipt of Pistol Permit Approval Letter Self-Certification for Firearm Safety Courses List of Self-Certifications for Firearm Safety Courses At 447 acres, Ellison Park has the beauty of natural woodlands combined with steep slopes and the level flood plain of the Irondequoit Creek.
