1
00:00:02,895 --> 00:00:06,145
(upbeat horns playing)

2
00:00:43,142 --> 00:00:45,809
(horns honking)

3
00:00:53,351 --> 00:00:56,101
(birds chirping)

4
00:02:51,820 --> 00:02:54,403
(honking horn)

5
00:04:22,843 --> 00:04:25,010
(chatter)

6
00:04:42,864 --> 00:04:45,966
- [Man] Look at me, come on look at me.

7
00:04:45,966 --> 00:04:47,790
Come on there you go, there you go, just stay right there,

8
00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:48,623
stay right there, look at me.

9
00:04:48,623 --> 00:04:49,850
Come on open your eyes, you got to open your eyes,

10
00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:51,801
stay awake, come one.

11
00:04:51,801 --> 00:04:53,870
What else you were taking partner?

12
00:04:55,810 --> 00:04:56,810
You took angel dust?

13
00:04:57,930 --> 00:04:58,976
Huh?

14
00:04:58,976 --> 00:05:00,860
(talking low)

15
00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:02,210
What were you taking today?

16
00:05:04,315 --> 00:05:05,483
- Calvin.

17
00:05:05,483 --> 00:05:06,316
- What's his name?

18
00:05:06,316 --> 00:05:07,149
- I don't know, I just met him.

19
00:05:07,149 --> 00:05:09,200
- What's your name, come on, what's your name?

20
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,736
- What's wrong?

21
00:05:11,736 --> 00:05:12,960
- Oh no, there's nothing wrong, I wanna ask,

22
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,060
what's wrong with you?

23
00:05:15,610 --> 00:05:17,060
Come on talk to me, I'm trying to be a friend to you,

24
00:05:17,060 --> 00:05:18,050
come on talk to me.

25
00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:20,100
Open up, come on open your eyes, come on.

26
00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:23,188
Talk to me.

27
00:05:23,188 --> 00:05:24,021
(speaking)

28
00:05:24,021 --> 00:05:24,893
Ah there you go what's your name?

29
00:05:24,893 --> 00:05:27,143
(speaking)

30
00:05:37,198 --> 00:05:40,031
(excited chatter)

31
00:05:49,312 --> 00:05:51,214
- [Woman In Hat] You want to play something?

32
00:05:51,214 --> 00:05:52,047
Alright.

33
00:06:02,211 --> 00:06:05,530
- [Child] Who are you with man?

34
00:06:05,530 --> 00:06:07,697
(chatter)

35
00:06:19,530 --> 00:06:21,320
- In the beginning in the Bible it says,

36
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,680
in the beginning there was the word,

37
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,330
there was the word.

38
00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:27,540
I know in the Bible they mean the Word of God

39
00:06:27,540 --> 00:06:29,100
but it's also the word.

40
00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:34,430
Think if you couldn't, if you didn't know language

41
00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:37,960
if you couldn't express yourself, how awful that is,

42
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,900
can you imagine?

43
00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:45,700
You have the word, thank God you have the word,

44
00:06:46,650 --> 00:06:47,900
so,

45
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:51,520
let's use the word, let's use the word,

46
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:57,990
that's what will set you free, is the word, okay?

47
00:06:59,370 --> 00:07:02,300
But also you have words, you have words,

48
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:05,590
and in words are emotions and feelings,

49
00:07:06,730 --> 00:07:09,360
and so I'm saying, when you look at the text there's

50
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,710
a lot more, instead of passing over it, is to use it.

51
00:07:13,980 --> 00:07:14,930
What does this mean?

52
00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:17,680
How do I feel when I say in disgrace, I'm not saying

53
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,680
when I'm being honored, I'm in disgrace,

54
00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:25,400
that means something differently.

55
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,190
When in disgrace with fortune?

56
00:07:28,190 --> 00:07:30,410
What is fortune, is that money?

57
00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:32,770
May be, fortune, fortune,

58
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:35,560
good luck?

59
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,970
Good fortune, bad fortune, I'm in disgrace with fortune.

60
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,950
And then how does the word fortune,

61
00:07:44,470 --> 00:07:48,560
what kind of emotion does just saying the word fortune,

62
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,350
if I say mama, that makes me feel differently,

63
00:07:54,257 --> 00:07:55,409
if I say womb.

64
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:01,220
If I say hit,

65
00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:03,660
that makes me feel differently,

66
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:07,800
my body reacts to punch, hit right?

67
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,570
So there's emotions involved in words,

68
00:08:10,570 --> 00:08:13,360
so I'm saying, you don't know anything about the character.

69
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,860
Well technique, okay let me start with the body,

70
00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:20,430
is this a primitive kind of you know,

71
00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:23,100
Caliban for an example, he's from the earth right?

72
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,780
Ariel's from the air.

73
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:27,300
What's it feel like to be in the air.

74
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:28,570
Caliban's from the earth.

75
00:08:30,020 --> 00:08:32,100
Gary'll show you this, this is you know,

76
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:34,491
Gary is really good at that.

77
00:08:34,491 --> 00:08:37,042
But I'm saying you can get that from the words too,

78
00:08:39,010 --> 00:08:41,490
what are the words, how do they feel in your mouth?

79
00:08:41,490 --> 00:08:46,490
Just the physical word eyes, eyes, eyes,

80
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:53,873
men, men, women, women,

81
00:08:55,601 --> 00:08:56,900
do you see women?

82
00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:58,450
There are more curves in women,

83
00:09:02,610 --> 00:09:05,580
women, men, men, women

84
00:09:08,170 --> 00:09:13,170
possessed, possessed, possessive, bring, bring.

85
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,073
Do you see?

86
00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:21,430
- [Man] She took out the stupid big knife, this knife

87
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:22,770
was like this big.

88
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:24,279
- [Woman] Her knife?

89
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:25,520
- Yeah her knife, then she said,

90
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,940
now I dare you that cut your hand off.

91
00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:30,220
I said huh?

92
00:09:30,220 --> 00:09:33,650
I said I dare you to cut your hand off,

93
00:09:33,650 --> 00:09:37,180
you dared me to take my eye out and I took it out for you,

94
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:39,401
now I dare you to cut your hand off, so he cuts

95
00:09:39,401 --> 00:09:42,426
his hand off, and then he.

96
00:09:42,426 --> 00:09:45,140
- [Woman] It's a very strange story, right?

97
00:09:45,140 --> 00:09:50,140
- Yeah it is, she doesn't start cutting up his chest,

98
00:09:50,850 --> 00:09:54,000
so he started cutting up his chest wide open and all,

99
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,950
and you see all the blood coming out.

100
00:09:55,950 --> 00:09:58,670
And then, the guys who were in charge of the camp

101
00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:00,700
camp master whatever, what do you call that?

102
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:01,533
Ranger.

103
00:10:02,555 --> 00:10:04,113
- [Woman] A Ranger, no.

104
00:10:04,113 --> 00:10:06,350
- I guess a Ranger, anyway those guys who are

105
00:10:06,350 --> 00:10:08,250
in charge they come inspecting around,

106
00:10:09,170 --> 00:10:11,840
they come checking up on people that they're all okay,

107
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,840
he saw him, so he said hey man, you alright?

108
00:10:16,935 --> 00:10:21,304
Lookit, there was no girl around, now how can that be?

109
00:10:21,304 --> 00:10:22,660
(woman talking)

110
00:10:22,660 --> 00:10:24,946
No he was all cut up and everything,

111
00:10:24,946 --> 00:10:28,350
but there was no girl around, how can that be?

112
00:10:28,350 --> 00:10:29,710
- [Woman] So it was like a dream.

113
00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:31,900
- [Male] No, it wasn't a dream he was all cut up.

114
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:33,554
- [Woman] Oh I see now.

115
00:10:33,554 --> 00:10:37,130
- [Male] It was no dream it was for real, but there was

116
00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:39,150
no girl around, how can that be?

117
00:10:39,150 --> 00:10:41,340
- [Woman] Did he himself do it?

118
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:42,670
- [Male] Yeah, he imagined the whole thing.

119
00:10:42,670 --> 00:10:44,077
He imagined that he was with the girl

120
00:10:44,077 --> 00:10:46,300
the whole time so they sent him back to

121
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:49,070
the to the mental hospital,

122
00:10:49,070 --> 00:10:51,170
he had to stay there for six months

123
00:10:51,170 --> 00:10:52,420
and then they let him out.

124
00:10:53,470 --> 00:10:54,992
- [Woman] I want to be sure,

125
00:10:54,992 --> 00:10:56,952
this is a true story or just a story that you made

126
00:10:56,952 --> 00:10:57,785
last night?

127
00:10:57,785 --> 00:10:59,490
- [Male] I made it yeah.

128
00:10:59,490 --> 00:11:01,303
- [Woman] Where you get that?

129
00:11:01,303 --> 00:11:02,150
- [Male] From a movie.

130
00:11:04,306 --> 00:11:05,650
(chatter)

131
00:11:05,650 --> 00:11:07,420
- Amen, hallelujah.

132
00:11:08,410 --> 00:11:12,180
I submit myself to my father to be led

133
00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:14,430
that I might lead to love him,

134
00:11:14,430 --> 00:11:16,650
that I might be filled with love

135
00:11:16,650 --> 00:11:17,850
to love you effectively.

136
00:11:19,020 --> 00:11:23,350
I submit myself to you in love Elaine and give myself to you

137
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,320
as my wedding gift, my flesh,

138
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,570
to exercise your authority over,

139
00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:30,620
that I might not defraud you of pleasure.

140
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,619
I commit myself to provide for the welfare of your flesh

141
00:11:36,619 --> 00:11:40,190
and to your soul and pray to my father

142
00:11:40,190 --> 00:11:43,170
that he would fulfill your needs in spirit and in truth.

143
00:11:44,930 --> 00:11:48,410
I love you Elaine and you are my greatest gift

144
00:11:48,410 --> 00:11:53,410
and my greatest treasure, in you my dreams are fulfilled.

145
00:11:58,607 --> 00:12:00,860
- Bill I feel like the most privileged woman on earth

146
00:12:02,151 --> 00:12:04,890
because God has given you to me for my husband.

147
00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:11,870
You are my chosen one, not chosen by me but chosen for me.

148
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:17,169
I will uphold your honor in the eyes of others

149
00:12:17,169 --> 00:12:21,390
and remember to praise you when I'm with them.

150
00:12:21,390 --> 00:12:25,120
I admire you, respect you, and love you.

151
00:12:26,490 --> 00:12:27,990
I treasure your companionship,

152
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:32,060
and I value your opinions very much.

153
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:37,900
I will remember to seek your highest good first,

154
00:12:38,030 --> 00:12:41,570
and to put the importance of our relationship

155
00:12:41,570 --> 00:12:44,270
before my own personal wants and desires.

156
00:12:46,430 --> 00:12:48,880
I know that marriage is holy in the sight of God,

157
00:12:50,050 --> 00:12:53,570
but it is the most serious commitment in this life

158
00:12:53,570 --> 00:12:56,850
outside of our own commitment to Jesus as Lord.

159
00:12:58,029 --> 00:13:03,029
It is to not be broken except by death, but it's to endure

160
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:05,923
through blessing or trial,

161
00:13:05,923 --> 00:13:10,350
through financial trouble, or wealth,

162
00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:12,090
through long illness, or health.

163
00:13:13,860 --> 00:13:16,544
Our faith and commitment will be tried,

164
00:13:16,544 --> 00:13:21,191
but God will be with us and we will come forth

165
00:13:21,191 --> 00:13:24,740
as pure gold refined by fire.

166
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:29,580
I make this vow today to put my hand in yours,

167
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,991
to face the future with you as my head,

168
00:13:33,991 --> 00:13:38,057
as we in turn place our hands in his

169
00:13:38,057 --> 00:13:40,890
and seek his will for our lives.

170
00:13:42,190 --> 00:13:46,410
I Susan Elaine Morgan do take the Beau Davis

171
00:13:46,410 --> 00:13:49,132
to be my lawfully wedded husband from this day forth,

172
00:13:49,132 --> 00:13:53,729
to cherish for as long as we both shall live,

173
00:13:53,729 --> 00:13:54,950
praise the Lord.

174
00:13:54,950 --> 00:13:59,050
- Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

175
00:13:59,050 --> 00:14:00,840
This time I'd like to share with you

176
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,440
something out of the scriptures.

177
00:14:03,290 --> 00:14:06,100
There was a time if you'll remember

178
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:10,310
Beau and Elaine where the Lord made a covenant

179
00:14:12,020 --> 00:14:15,201
with his people, the Bible said that God created

180
00:14:15,201 --> 00:14:18,480
man in his own image.

181
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,900
And the Lord made a covenant he spoke

182
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:24,150
some words to them in the garden at the beginning,

183
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:28,360
and this was before sin entered into the world.

184
00:14:29,810 --> 00:14:32,950
The Bible says that God sent Jesus Christ to the world

185
00:14:32,950 --> 00:14:36,890
to die for our sins, and he rose again.

186
00:14:36,890 --> 00:14:39,460
And the Bible says that Jesus Christ

187
00:14:39,460 --> 00:14:42,260
rules and reigns in the heavens right now

188
00:14:42,260 --> 00:14:44,830
until every one of his enemies have put under his feet.

189
00:14:44,830 --> 00:14:46,170
And that by his blood,

190
00:14:46,170 --> 00:14:49,190
we can have that relationship restored back to God

191
00:14:49,190 --> 00:14:51,050
and there's a new covenant that he's made with us

192
00:14:51,050 --> 00:14:54,177
to restore that relationship that God had

193
00:14:54,177 --> 00:14:57,027
with Adam and Eve when he walked with them in the garden.

194
00:14:58,820 --> 00:15:01,210
This is what he said to them in the garden before sin

195
00:15:01,210 --> 00:15:04,280
entered and this was God's perfect purpose and God's Word,

196
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,680
God's admonished men to that the first marriage

197
00:15:08,995 --> 00:15:11,260
in the first wedding that ever took place.

198
00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:13,300
This is what he said, and God said let us

199
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:17,300
make man in our image after our likeness

200
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:20,419
and let them have dominion over the fish

201
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:22,972
of the sea, over the fowl of the air,

202
00:15:22,972 --> 00:15:27,750
and over the cattle ,and over all the earth,

203
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:30,810
and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

204
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:36,670
so God created man in his own image, in the image of God

205
00:15:37,090 --> 00:15:42,090
created he him, listen to this, male and female

206
00:15:42,620 --> 00:15:43,840
created he them.

207
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,050
Man spoke of male and female, not just male.

208
00:15:49,050 --> 00:15:51,580
God created man and woman in his own image

209
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:56,490
and God blessed them, and God said unto them

210
00:15:56,490 --> 00:16:01,120
be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth,

211
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,230
subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea,

212
00:16:05,230 --> 00:16:10,230
over the fowl of the air, and over every living

213
00:16:10,250 --> 00:16:13,660
thing that moveth upon the earth.

214
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:17,460
Now I want to take a moment, God said some things

215
00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:20,600
to this first couple in the garden, and I think

216
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,030
it's a beautiful setting, and I think it's perfect today

217
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:26,200
that God brought you here into this beautiful garden

218
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,830
in the midst of one of the most awesome cities in the world.

219
00:16:30,830 --> 00:16:34,217
Unquestionably, a city that touches the world.

220
00:16:34,217 --> 00:16:37,884
(speaking foreign language)

221
00:17:51,618 --> 00:17:52,611
- [Gray Haired Woman] Michael?

222
00:17:52,611 --> 00:17:53,444
- [Michael] Yeah.

223
00:17:53,444 --> 00:17:55,710
- Some of these salvias have got aphids

224
00:17:55,710 --> 00:17:57,360
eating them and I've just been pulling

225
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,050
the bad stuff off because that will,

226
00:18:00,050 --> 00:18:02,311
you know the aphids will get tired one of these days.

227
00:18:02,311 --> 00:18:04,400
Also, there are a lot

228
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,070
of aphids on the equinox in the corner of be seven.

229
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:11,852
And I know that Dan got them off of here the other day

230
00:18:11,852 --> 00:18:12,685
which is good.

231
00:18:12,685 --> 00:18:14,030
- [Michael] With soap?

232
00:18:14,030 --> 00:18:15,749
- No he did it with,

233
00:18:15,749 --> 00:18:16,654
- [Michael] Oh, with the hose.

234
00:18:16,654 --> 00:18:17,500
- the hose, putting his finger in the hose,

235
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:18,880
you hit 'em really hard.

236
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,240
Apparently they don't have the strength

237
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,660
once they drop down to come back up again.

238
00:18:22,660 --> 00:18:24,980
So let's hit the ones in bed seven too,

239
00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:26,487
'cause they're about to bloom.

240
00:18:26,487 --> 00:18:30,230
- Okay.

241
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:31,270
- [Woman] A lot more,

242
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:33,980
and I spend a lot of time trying to find them.

243
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:35,982
- [Man In Stripes] Do butterflies migrate

244
00:18:35,982 --> 00:18:36,815
up the coast the way birds do?

245
00:18:36,815 --> 00:18:37,933
- [Woman] Yes, they do.

246
00:18:37,933 --> 00:18:39,070
- [Man In Stripes] They do.

247
00:18:39,070 --> 00:18:40,728
- [Woman] but not as much.

248
00:18:40,728 --> 00:18:43,470
- [Man] A few, a few, it's not quite

249
00:18:43,470 --> 00:18:45,180
the same thing as birds.

250
00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:46,730
- No, it's not all.

251
00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:48,960
- Most of 'em there's a lot of,

252
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,910
some species move out when their population builds up

253
00:18:51,910 --> 00:18:54,440
and they'll move northward in the late summer

254
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,240
and build up populations further north and then keep going,

255
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,560
and then there's some species that that move somewhat south

256
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,181
in the fall, the only really true migrant,

257
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:10,030
the monarch butterfly that really goes down to Mexico

258
00:19:10,030 --> 00:19:12,883
and comes comes back up, but even they, they don't

259
00:19:12,883 --> 00:19:15,800
it's not a one, it's not a total back and forth,

260
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,021
the ones that go down south,

261
00:19:17,021 --> 00:19:19,440
they don't make it all the way up in the spring.

262
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,380
It's the generations after that come up this level,

263
00:19:23,380 --> 00:19:24,570
so it's not exactly,

264
00:19:24,570 --> 00:19:28,187
there's no real exact parallel to bird migration at all.

265
00:19:44,776 --> 00:19:46,875
- See this is supposed to be the same on either side,

266
00:19:46,875 --> 00:19:50,672
see how that has a definite corner there, but this

267
00:19:50,672 --> 00:19:52,976
it kinds of disappear the corner, because it hasn't

268
00:19:52,976 --> 00:19:55,333
been groomed the same, so what you're doing is you're

269
00:19:55,333 --> 00:19:57,651
gonna try to make that corner come back as much

270
00:19:57,651 --> 00:20:00,168
as we can without making it all bare.

271
00:20:00,168 --> 00:20:02,167
If you could cut just right straight back like this,

272
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:07,167
and kind of the corner, but not too much.

273
00:20:10,428 --> 00:20:12,590
Cut a little bit first, cut a little bit then

274
00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:17,590
a little bit more, then go forward.

275
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:22,630
- [Man] Got to go slow, don't do it too fast.

276
00:20:23,210 --> 00:20:25,730
- You need to slow down, just a little bit slower,

277
00:20:25,730 --> 00:20:27,681
- You're going too fast and you're putting your.

278
00:20:27,681 --> 00:20:29,530
- just a little bit more careful.

279
00:20:29,530 --> 00:20:33,920
- [Gardener] It's not good for deeper, deeper.

280
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,780
- Just just go a little slower, okay.

281
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:40,520
I promise it will be better, just look at it

282
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,610
a little more carefully.

283
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:48,980
You're gonna want to cut this part as much as you can here

284
00:20:48,980 --> 00:20:50,350
so it's a real corner.

285
00:21:32,782 --> 00:21:35,260
- [Man] We wanna breathe, breathe.

286
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:36,093
- [Woman] Okay.

287
00:21:36,093 --> 00:21:36,926
- [Man] Alright.

288
00:21:40,884 --> 00:21:41,940
You have to have commitment to do it, we've got commitment.

289
00:21:44,517 --> 00:21:46,260
- Okay.

290
00:21:47,550 --> 00:21:50,730
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes

291
00:21:50,730 --> 00:21:53,344
I all alone but weep my outcast state

292
00:21:53,344 --> 00:21:56,860
and trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries.

293
00:21:56,860 --> 00:21:57,820
- [Man] Breathe.

294
00:21:57,820 --> 00:22:00,641
- And look upon myself and curse my fate

295
00:22:00,641 --> 00:22:04,130
wishing me like to one more rich in hope

296
00:22:04,130 --> 00:22:07,430
featured like him, like him with friends possessed.

297
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:09,770
desiring this man's art, that man scope.

298
00:22:09,770 --> 00:22:10,603
- [Man In Green] Slow it down.

299
00:22:10,603 --> 00:22:12,540
- With what I most enjoy contented least.

300
00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:13,870
- Contented least.

301
00:22:13,870 --> 00:22:14,703
Right?

302
00:22:14,703 --> 00:22:16,267
- [Woman In Glasses] Least.

303
00:22:16,267 --> 00:22:17,560
- Yes, now what happens?

304
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,080
Now we can start again, we can start again down here

305
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,442
but we're always going up, so we go down but we're coming up

306
00:22:22,442 --> 00:22:26,800
as we're going down we're going up, alright?

307
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,840
- [Woman In Glasses] Yeah.

308
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,673
- So contented.

309
00:22:30,133 --> 00:22:32,191
- [Woman In Glasses] With what I most enjoy contented least,

310
00:22:32,191 --> 00:22:33,281
yet.

311
00:22:33,281 --> 00:22:35,654
- Alright, now take time there's a transition here,

312
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:40,008
if you end it right there this person is suicidal almost

313
00:22:40,008 --> 00:22:40,841
isn't he?

314
00:22:40,841 --> 00:22:41,920
- [Woman In Glasses] Yeah.

315
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,950
- Right, we talked about this,

316
00:22:43,950 --> 00:22:46,490
yet but something happens,

317
00:22:47,726 --> 00:22:51,560
there's a person, there's another person right?

318
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,640
So let's see that transition, now the mood changes,

319
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,870
yet I think on thee!

320
00:22:59,155 --> 00:23:02,170
- [Woman In Glasses] Okay, do it from the lat line or?

321
00:23:02,170 --> 00:23:04,050
- Yeah, yeah, back up a couple lines.

322
00:23:05,832 --> 00:23:07,760
- [Woman In Glasses] Desiring this man's art and

323
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,320
that man's scope with what I most enjoy contented least.

324
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,153
- Yes.

325
00:23:14,513 --> 00:23:16,030
- [Woman In Glasses] Yet at least.

326
00:23:16,030 --> 00:23:17,280
- And we're going up yet,

327
00:23:18,357 --> 00:23:19,190
- [Woman In Glasses] In these.

328
00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:20,670
- Wait, wait, wait, Caroline,

329
00:23:20,670 --> 00:23:24,130
yet, in these, then we're building again right?

330
00:23:24,130 --> 00:23:25,550
- [Woman In Glasses] Okay.

331
00:23:25,550 --> 00:23:26,550
- Go back two lines.

332
00:23:30,373 --> 00:23:32,310
- [Woman In Glasses] Desiring this man's art

333
00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:33,470
and that man's scope.

334
00:23:33,470 --> 00:23:34,941
- Watch me.

335
00:23:34,941 --> 00:23:36,040
- [Woman In Glasses] With what I most enjoy

336
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,260
contented least, yet

337
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:40,766
- Yes.

338
00:23:40,766 --> 00:23:41,800
- [Woman In Glasses] in these thoughts,

339
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,633
- Watch me.

340
00:23:44,058 --> 00:23:45,740
- [Woman In Glasses] myself almost despising,

341
00:23:45,740 --> 00:23:46,573
- Yes.

342
00:23:47,543 --> 00:23:49,320
- [Woman In Glasses] happily I think on thee.

343
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,650
- Yes! And then what?

344
00:23:51,650 --> 00:23:52,840
- [Woman In Glasses] And then my state.

345
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,850
- And then my state.

346
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,000
- [Woman In Glasses]Right to the lark it break

347
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:56,833
- Right to what?

348
00:23:56,833 --> 00:23:58,416
- [Woman In Glasses] but to the lark.

349
00:23:58,416 --> 00:23:59,726
- Where's the lark?

350
00:23:59,726 --> 00:24:01,410
Right to the lark.

351
00:24:01,410 --> 00:24:02,597
- [Woman In Glasses] Right to the lark.

352
00:24:02,597 --> 00:24:03,690
- At what?

353
00:24:03,690 --> 00:24:04,950
- [Woman In Glasses] At break of day arising.

354
00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:05,886
- Yes, slow it down.

355
00:24:05,886 --> 00:24:07,660
Arising.

356
00:24:07,660 --> 00:24:08,590
- [Woman In Glasses] Arising.

357
00:24:08,590 --> 00:24:09,423
- Arising.

358
00:24:09,423 --> 00:24:10,761
- [Woman In Glasses] Arising.

359
00:24:10,761 --> 00:24:12,277
- From.

360
00:24:12,277 --> 00:24:13,110
- [Woman In Glasses] From sullen earth.

361
00:24:13,110 --> 00:24:14,276
- From what?

362
00:24:14,276 --> 00:24:15,437
- [Woman In Glasses] From sullen earth.

363
00:24:15,437 --> 00:24:16,545
- From what?

364
00:24:16,545 --> 00:24:17,700
From sullen earth. - From sullen earth.

365
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:20,567
- From sullen earth sings hymns at heaven's gate.

366
00:24:20,567 --> 00:24:22,050
- At heaven's gate!

367
00:24:29,085 --> 00:24:32,323
(horn honking)

368
00:24:32,323 --> 00:24:35,073
(birds chirping)

369
00:24:56,290 --> 00:24:58,457
(chatter)

370
00:25:52,174 --> 00:25:55,120
- I understand though, look I'm not trying to beat up on you

371
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:58,250
I'm just saying that it is something that

372
00:25:58,250 --> 00:26:01,378
is a piece of design that I've invested an awful lot of

373
00:26:01,378 --> 00:26:05,520
interest and time and the conservancies resources

374
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,830
in seeing that we have a beautiful light that will be,

375
00:26:09,830 --> 00:26:11,870
it's just something I care about that's all

376
00:26:11,870 --> 00:26:14,253
and so I would like to be

377
00:26:14,253 --> 00:26:19,220
your friend and your helper.

378
00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:21,387
And in coming to a solution and I think that we

379
00:26:21,387 --> 00:26:24,070
really should do a final model.

380
00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:26,890
I really think that there's always, I have found

381
00:26:26,890 --> 00:26:31,890
in doing the luminaire that we had a much better project

382
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,559
because we worked on the actual model than we could never

383
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:39,987
have done just from a drawing.

384
00:26:39,987 --> 00:26:42,590
I'm sure I'll love it, I really am sure

385
00:26:42,590 --> 00:26:43,880
I'll like it a whole lot better,

386
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,590
I'm sure that the detail of that top,

387
00:26:46,590 --> 00:26:50,290
how it fits on, I thought that even on the model it was too,

388
00:26:51,267 --> 00:26:53,190
it looked like a billiard cue at the top

389
00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:55,320
and that there is a design detail there

390
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,700
that needs to be articulated.

391
00:26:57,700 --> 00:26:59,090
Yeah, I mean I care a lot

392
00:26:59,090 --> 00:27:01,580
because I mean you know as the architects say

393
00:27:01,580 --> 00:27:05,097
God is in the details, and these sodium,

394
00:27:05,097 --> 00:27:09,640
high pressure sodium, there sulfuric yellow, harsh glow,

395
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,093
they glare in people's eyes at night.

396
00:27:11,093 --> 00:27:15,120
It's aesthetically gross,

397
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:19,239
it turns the vegetation a muddy brown color because

398
00:27:19,239 --> 00:27:22,950
it's all this warm spectrum of light, and the cool,

399
00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:27,490
even white lights of metal halide are far, far superior.

400
00:27:27,490 --> 00:27:30,290
Of people like Amanda Burton.

401
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:37,470
Amanda Burton would be a definite ally.

402
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:42,293
Oh sure.

403
00:27:44,590 --> 00:27:47,340
I've just been reluctant to pull in a lot of outsiders

404
00:27:47,340 --> 00:27:49,030
because I didn't want to you know

405
00:27:49,030 --> 00:27:50,625
bring pressure from the outside,

406
00:27:50,625 --> 00:27:53,690
that's and I didn't want to do that,

407
00:27:53,690 --> 00:27:56,540
but I would think you know if Parks Counsel

408
00:27:56,540 --> 00:27:59,379
or Municipal Art Society or any of these agencies

409
00:27:59,379 --> 00:28:01,920
that care so much about designing their city,

410
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,537
if they would get onto this issue they would realize

411
00:28:04,537 --> 00:28:08,400
that they would be doing a great service

412
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,070
for the future citizens of our parks to ensure

413
00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:14,430
that we had a different kind of lighting

414
00:28:14,430 --> 00:28:17,020
from the harsh street lighting.

415
00:28:21,976 --> 00:28:23,100
- [Woman In Blue Hat] Alright, I don't.

416
00:28:24,090 --> 00:28:24,960
- [Woman] He's in the tree branch.

417
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,240
- I don't know where the nest is,

418
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,900
and I don't know whether they're yet feeding,

419
00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:30,790
but they both seem to be guarding,

420
00:28:30,790 --> 00:28:33,740
probably because there's so many people going through here.

421
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,353
We found a new nest and I'm going to take you to it.

422
00:28:46,085 --> 00:28:51,085
- [Man] Right there, put it right here.

423
00:29:42,887 --> 00:29:44,887
(siren)

424
00:30:14,783 --> 00:30:17,450
(upbeat music)

425
00:30:27,890 --> 00:30:29,300
- I would like to welcome you all

426
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:33,160
to the 1988 Mississippi Picnic, and my name is

427
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,920
Rachel Macpherson, and if you did not

428
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,080
receive an invitation to this year's picnic you can go to

429
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,100
the registration table to Celia Thomason and make sure

430
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:46,370
you get on the mailing list.

431
00:30:46,370 --> 00:30:48,450
And also we're getting ready to run

432
00:30:48,450 --> 00:30:53,050
the Mississippi Fried Chicken Contest,

433
00:30:53,050 --> 00:30:55,899
and if you would like to enter the Fried Chicken Contest

434
00:30:55,899 --> 00:30:59,610
please take your fried chicken over to the food tables

435
00:30:59,610 --> 00:31:02,487
and give it to Tim James.

436
00:31:02,487 --> 00:31:05,880
So everyone that has Fried Chicken please go over there

437
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,330
and give your fried chicken so we can judge them,

438
00:31:09,387 --> 00:31:11,038
and thank you for coming.

439
00:31:11,038 --> 00:31:14,288
(blues guitar playing)

440
00:33:34,097 --> 00:33:36,264
(chatter)

441
00:35:43,484 --> 00:35:45,734
(laughter)

442
00:36:15,921 --> 00:36:19,820
- It's a pleasure to be here on stage at

443
00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:23,470
the Great Lawn of Central Park in this

444
00:36:23,470 --> 00:36:27,990
historic place to pay tribute to

445
00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:32,830
one of the earliest inhabitants of this planet,

446
00:36:32,830 --> 00:36:34,330
the Norwal Dinosaur!

447
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:40,603
Although they lived a 100 million years ago,

448
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,240
dinosaurs fascinate us even today.

449
00:36:45,220 --> 00:36:49,120
Although, none of us none of the 5 billion people

450
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,310
living on the face of this earth

451
00:36:51,310 --> 00:36:53,760
has ever even seen a dinosaur.

452
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,270
Nonetheless, we know of them and we treasure them.

453
00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:04,380
Why this fascination on the part of the human being

454
00:37:05,580 --> 00:37:10,580
of homosapiens with these large reptiles,

455
00:37:12,085 --> 00:37:15,480
who were not even our ancestors?

456
00:37:16,530 --> 00:37:20,450
They were much too big, and in any event they died out,

457
00:37:22,210 --> 00:37:24,640
it's for a number of reasons.

458
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:29,640
One is their size, they are the largest land creatures

459
00:37:30,670 --> 00:37:35,670
ever to exist on earth, and comparable

460
00:37:35,740 --> 00:37:40,700
to the great tuna fish and the whale,

461
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:44,740
which are of course even larger, but exist in the sea

462
00:37:44,740 --> 00:37:47,470
where the water pressure makes it easier

463
00:37:47,470 --> 00:37:49,240
for them to get around.

464
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:53,140
There is a call to the dinosaur which is abroad

465
00:37:53,140 --> 00:37:58,140
in the land and we are pleased to lend our participation

466
00:37:59,605 --> 00:38:02,880
and our support to this harmless, if not

467
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,170
beneficial pastime.

468
00:38:05,460 --> 00:38:10,460
We should learn what came on earth before us and hope that

469
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,209
some day the creatures of the future

470
00:38:13,209 --> 00:38:15,560
and I hope they're our descendants,

471
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,930
they might not be, but I hope that the creatures on earth

472
00:38:19,930 --> 00:38:22,370
a 100 million years from now

473
00:38:22,370 --> 00:38:26,020
should have some kindness in their heart for us ordinary

474
00:38:26,020 --> 00:38:30,920
five or six feet tall weak, bent, emaciated,

475
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,490
non-muscular human beings.

476
00:38:36,810 --> 00:38:38,830
We're not strong but we were smart,

477
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,040
we're smart enough to make the machines

478
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,260
to blow ourselves up, the dinosaurs were

479
00:38:45,260 --> 00:38:48,550
very strong, they were not so smart,

480
00:38:48,550 --> 00:38:52,410
they had very small brains, the dinosaurs.

481
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,241
Now whether if the dinosaurs were any

482
00:38:55,241 --> 00:38:58,170
smarter they would have been able to counter

483
00:38:58,170 --> 00:39:00,570
the environmental or other influences

484
00:39:00,570 --> 00:39:02,830
or disease that killed them, we don't know.

485
00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:08,040
But suffice it to say that they were here,

486
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,762
they had their days of glory

487
00:39:10,762 --> 00:39:15,410
as Rolvaag said, there were giants on the earth

488
00:39:15,410 --> 00:39:20,393
in those times and now we're going to the ceremonial climax

489
00:39:23,170 --> 00:39:26,490
of the ceremony which will be the release of the tarragon.

490
00:39:26,490 --> 00:39:28,340
The tarragon that sounds spicy,

491
00:39:28,340 --> 00:39:30,700
What is this, what are these red balloons?

492
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:33,700
This dinosaur is filled with, how many balloons?

493
00:39:37,710 --> 00:39:41,750
It's called to tarragon, 700 balloons form this tarragon.

494
00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:44,370
Now the young ladies are released and what do I do?

495
00:39:44,370 --> 00:39:46,550
- [Man] You give the signal.

496
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:48,020
- [Man In Green] Okay how do I give the signal?

497
00:39:50,970 --> 00:39:55,970
We're ready to begin the dinosaur release countdown,

498
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:01,080
let's go, 10, nine, eight, seven, six,

499
00:40:02,993 --> 00:40:07,993
five, four, three, two, one.

500
00:40:08,878 --> 00:40:10,204
(whistle)

501
00:40:10,204 --> 00:40:12,220
(cheers)

502
00:40:12,220 --> 00:40:16,190
Blast off, as the tarragon rises into the sky!

503
00:40:25,310 --> 00:40:27,140
I wonder where that one will land.

504
00:40:34,450 --> 00:40:39,280
It's flying, it's a flying pterodactyl, it's got wings.

505
00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:50,140
Okay that's it.

506
00:40:55,269 --> 00:40:58,352
(dinosaurs growling)

507
00:41:12,849 --> 00:41:15,266
- Come on up, come over here.

508
00:41:17,609 --> 00:41:18,950
Now here are the rules of the contest,

509
00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:20,840
you have to name your dinosaur.

510
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,030
Then in a very specific dinosaur language you have

511
00:41:24,030 --> 00:41:26,577
to say, hello and welcome to Dinosaur Day at Central Park!

512
00:41:26,577 --> 00:41:29,460
(screeching)

513
00:41:29,460 --> 00:41:33,190
Very nice, number five the, Authrosaurus.

514
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,180
(screeching)

515
00:41:37,180 --> 00:41:38,013
Alright, okay.

516
00:41:39,667 --> 00:41:41,010
And number six, can you just take a step down,

517
00:41:41,872 --> 00:41:43,640
take a step down.

518
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Okay number six is.

519
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,604
- The Laughasaurus.

520
00:41:46,604 --> 00:41:48,687
(laughs)

521
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:51,260
- Very nice, number seven.

522
00:41:51,260 --> 00:41:52,945
- The Hungersaurus.

523
00:41:52,945 --> 00:41:55,528

524
00:41:56,366 --> 00:41:58,418
- Number eight the Baseballasaurus.

525
00:41:58,418 --> 00:42:02,080
- Play ball, play ball, play ball.

526
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,719
- Okay, number nine, the Mamasaurus.

527
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:09,310

(choir singing)

553
00:45:22,890 --> 00:45:23,723
- We want to be next to the mayor.

554
00:45:23,723 --> 00:45:25,572
- Yeah, the mayor wants to be next to the Cardinal.

555
00:45:25,572 --> 00:45:27,050
(laughter)

556
00:45:27,050 --> 00:45:27,883
There's a big difference.

557
00:45:27,883 --> 00:45:28,716
- That's right.

558
00:45:45,150 --> 00:45:46,699
- Father Moore.

(chatter)

561
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:04,650
- I am here as I have been every year as mayor

562
00:46:04,650 --> 00:46:06,475
because I believe it's important

563
00:46:06,475 --> 00:46:11,475
to demonstrate physically the close working relationship

564
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,720
that government must have with the church

565
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:20,290
if we are to solve our social problems.

566
00:46:22,700 --> 00:46:24,650
It is not simply on a local level

567
00:46:24,650 --> 00:46:26,340
that the Cardinal and the church

568
00:46:26,340 --> 00:46:28,350
work so closely with government.

569
00:46:29,842 --> 00:46:32,270
Internationally, Cardinal has just been to the Soviet Union,

570
00:46:32,270 --> 00:46:35,330
he's been to Cuba, he's been to Nicaragua,

571
00:46:35,330 --> 00:46:38,600
and I believe that any fair commentator would say

572
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,130
that achievements occurred because of

573
00:46:41,130 --> 00:46:43,420
the church's involvement that

574
00:46:43,420 --> 00:46:45,850
wouldn't have occurred if it had just simply

575
00:46:45,850 --> 00:46:47,570
been government to government.

576
00:46:47,570 --> 00:46:51,900
So I'm very proud of the fact that here in

577
00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:56,900
the city of New York we perceive the church, the clergy,

578
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,920
to be partners, friends, supporters of what government

579
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,380
has to do, and that's the substantive part.

580
00:47:03,380 --> 00:47:06,380
Now let me just give you greetings.

581
00:47:06,380 --> 00:47:10,070
I am (speaking foreign language) of the largest

582
00:47:10,070 --> 00:47:13,141

583
00:47:13,141 --> 00:47:15,616
(cheers)

584
00:47:15,616 --> 00:47:19,217
And I came to say hello to my congregants.

585
00:47:23,170 --> 00:47:26,641
By congregants I mean citizens, the citizens of this

586
00:47:26,641 --> 00:47:31,641
the miracle of God's eye, the city of New York.

587

- Whoa, we really got a big bag here.

595

(talking)

599
00:55:06,607 --> 00:55:08,357
- [Man In Cap] Ho oh!

00:55:42,953 --> 00:55:44,092
- [Officer] Good morning fella.

601
00:55:44,092 --> 00:55:44,988

00:55:44,988 --> 00:55:45,821

605
00:55:47,569 --> 00:55:48,402

01:11:11,738 --> 01:11:13,311
He was one of the most

713
01:11:13,311 --> 01:11:16,450
influential writers in England.

714
01:11:17,670 --> 01:11:21,080
Well, there's a man by the name of Mr. Joseph Papp

715
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,600
who produces Shakespearean plays

716
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,320
because he's a lover of the arts.

717
01:11:28,850 --> 01:11:31,030
And because he's a lover of the arts,

718
01:11:31,950 --> 01:11:36,950
and because Shakespeare gave so much to the world

719
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:41,940
Joseph Papp wanted to return some of which Shakespeare gave

720
01:11:41,940 --> 01:11:43,910
back to the world,

721
01:11:43,910 --> 01:11:48,408
and so every summer from July to August,

722
01:11:48,408 --> 01:11:51,140
right in that theater, and we're going to go up

723
01:11:51,140 --> 01:11:53,059
to the Belvedere Castle

724
01:11:53,059 --> 01:11:55,309
and you're going to go in a real life castle.

725
01:11:56,470 --> 01:11:59,050
One that you've probably never been to because there is

726
01:11:59,050 --> 01:12:02,160
a castle in Central Park and we could

727
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,059
get to see the Delacorte Theater,

728
01:12:05,059 --> 01:12:08,330
the Delacorte Theater was named after a family

729
01:12:08,330 --> 01:12:10,970
who was the first family in theater.

730
01:12:12,770 --> 01:12:15,940
So the Delacorte Theater was the natural spot

731
01:12:15,940 --> 01:12:19,309
in all of Central Park for Joseph Papp

732
01:12:19,309 --> 01:12:22,710
to put on his productions, now if you remember before

733
01:12:22,710 --> 01:12:25,790
I said Shakespeare wrote comedies, to make people

734
01:12:25,790 --> 01:12:26,970
cry or laugh?

735
01:12:26,970 --> 01:12:27,803
- [Children] Laugh.

736
01:12:27,803 --> 01:12:29,470
- And he wrote dramas to make people?

737
01:12:29,470 --> 01:12:30,303
- [Children] Cry.

738
01:12:30,303 --> 01:12:32,498
- Okay, and he wrote history so that people could learn?

739
01:12:32,498 --> 01:12:33,970
- [Children] Learn.

740
01:12:33,970 --> 01:12:36,750
- Okay, well, it's a wonderful world of Shakespeare.

741
01:12:36,750 --> 01:12:40,210
and let me tell you something you guys may come from Queens,

742
01:12:40,210 --> 01:12:42,370
and you may come from all over the world,

743
01:12:42,370 --> 01:12:44,422
and a lot of people say you could

744
01:12:44,422 --> 01:12:48,096
understand Shakespeare, he's very funny.

745
01:12:48,096 --> 01:12:52,727
And Shakespeare was a regular human being and he believed in

746
01:12:52,727 --> 01:12:55,760
making his drama well known to the world.

747
01:12:57,687 --> 01:12:59,840
And there one of my favorite which is called

748
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:01,750
a Midsummer's Night Dream.

749
01:13:01,750 --> 01:13:04,650
Now we're going to take this path and we're gonna

750
01:13:04,650 --> 01:13:06,530
go up to the castle, would you want to go

751
01:13:06,530 --> 01:13:07,812
and be in a real castle?

752
01:13:07,812 --> 01:13:09,252
- [Children] Yeah!

753
01:13:09,252 --> 01:13:10,580
- One that was brought in from England

754
01:13:10,580 --> 01:13:12,430
and it's called the Belvedere Castle,

755
01:13:13,326 --> 01:13:15,540
and if you can see it was just freshly painted.

756
01:13:15,540 --> 01:13:16,840
Okay?

757
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:17,710
- [Woman] Let's go.

758
01:13:17,710 --> 01:13:18,543
- Let's go.

759
01:13:18,543 --> 01:13:20,364
(cheers)

760
01:13:24,349 --> 01:13:26,516
(talking)

761
01:13:42,972 --> 01:13:45,640
- But the first thing that we have been

762
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:47,880
dealing with is the mountain bikes and

763
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,320
it's interesting we staked out two areas

764
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,220
I am told, not this past weekend but,

765
01:13:54,220 --> 01:13:55,990
the weekend before, and I think we also

766
01:13:55,990 --> 01:13:58,800
did it, I know we also did it this weekend

767
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:00,559
with with no results.

768
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,030
Saw a couple of people on 10 speed bikes

769
01:14:04,030 --> 01:14:06,860
on the paths but didn't see people

770
01:14:06,860 --> 01:14:08,820
tearing up the turf with mountain bikes

771
01:14:08,820 --> 01:14:12,080
at least the cops and the peps who did this

772
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:13,760
said they didn't they warned the people

773
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:15,440
who were just driving their bikes

774
01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:17,790
on the paths, which we know is illegal,

775
01:14:17,790 --> 01:14:19,990
but didn't see any evidence of anybody doing any of that.

776
01:14:19,990 --> 01:14:21,380
Now, Catherine tells me that

777
01:14:21,380 --> 01:14:23,760
you think that the, Neal, you think

778
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,750
that the problem is worsening

779
01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:28,760
and maybe we shouldn't be staking them out on the weekends,

780
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,130
maybe it's about after school that we should

781
01:14:31,130 --> 01:14:33,140
be staking out, well, you know, you tell me.

782
01:14:33,140 --> 01:14:36,130
- Well we found last week I went out with

783
01:14:36,130 --> 01:14:39,610
Sarah Cedar Miller to photograph some of these areas,

784
01:14:39,610 --> 01:14:41,590
the areas we photographed

785
01:14:41,590 --> 01:14:45,780
there was no fresh damage however a drive through the park

786
01:14:47,030 --> 01:14:52,030
showed that there are a lot of individuals and couples out

787
01:14:52,470 --> 01:14:56,460
on mountain bikes and they do cut across lawn areas

788
01:14:59,050 --> 01:15:01,300
and create damage to the turf

789
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:05,690
so the problem is there I'm seeing more of them.

790
01:15:05,690 --> 01:15:09,697
Just last week a gentleman came in to 79th Street yard

791
01:15:09,697 --> 01:15:11,550
who was quite interested in the damage

792
01:15:11,550 --> 01:15:15,640
that was caused at Westside,

793
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,360
- [Man] Westside 70, about 70th the 78th Street.

794
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,630
- Yeah, and he's seen a lot of them going up

795
01:15:21,630 --> 01:15:24,190
the sides and little hills and riding

796
01:15:24,190 --> 01:15:25,650
through the shrubbery et cetera.

797
01:15:25,650 --> 01:15:27,350
- Did he say when, do we have any specifics?

798
01:15:27,350 --> 01:15:28,830
See the problem that you have,

799
01:15:28,830 --> 01:15:31,290
the problem is always that you have a certain amount of

800
01:15:31,290 --> 01:15:34,250
resources and you try to target your enforcement

801
01:15:34,250 --> 01:15:36,980
and these marks and tracks of your finding

802
01:15:36,980 --> 01:15:38,200
may be all over the park but if

803
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:39,850
you're not on the Great Lawn

804
01:15:39,850 --> 01:15:41,850
at nine o'clock on a Tuesday morning

805
01:15:41,850 --> 01:15:43,820
that one Toby Birdman and his wife

806
01:15:43,820 --> 01:15:46,518
you're never gonna catch them not me of course

807
01:15:46,518 --> 01:15:47,600
the law because the cops aren't gonna be there

808
01:15:48,534 --> 01:15:49,367
he'll come back he'll be in the southern end

809
01:15:49,367 --> 01:15:51,380
of the park the next time you know

810
01:15:51,380 --> 01:15:53,520
so if we're gonna make an example,

811
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:54,400
so you got to do two things,

812
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:55,890
you have to have a broad prohibition

813
01:15:55,890 --> 01:15:58,760
and make it known to everybody that you should stop people

814
01:15:58,760 --> 01:15:59,880
that's a real campaign

815
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:01,820
that's an educational campaign that we

816
01:16:01,820 --> 01:16:04,390
and the cops every every single person who works

817
01:16:04,390 --> 01:16:08,258
in Central Park any citizen who we can enlist the aid of

818
01:16:08,258 --> 01:16:09,809
who will tell people

819
01:16:09,809 --> 01:16:11,470
like people tell us you shouldn't be driving on the

820
01:16:11,470 --> 01:16:12,809
I'm supposed to work here

821
01:16:12,809 --> 01:16:14,460
and you shouldn't be driving on the path,

822
01:16:14,460 --> 01:16:17,590
we shouldn't make them militant about bicycles

823
01:16:17,590 --> 01:16:19,210
and that's a big deal, that's a tall order.

824
01:16:19,210 --> 01:16:22,540
I mean we can handle the stakeouts and and giving them

825
01:16:22,540 --> 01:16:24,450
people with summons or taking their

826
01:16:24,450 --> 01:16:26,510
bikes as evidence we can do that if

827
01:16:26,510 --> 01:16:28,590
we catch them, if we happen to be, but it's

828
01:16:28,590 --> 01:16:30,530
very difficult to ask our people to do

829
01:16:30,530 --> 01:16:32,240
this 24 hours a day seven days a week.

830
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:33,420
It's whacking them, if you're not in the

831
01:16:33,420 --> 01:16:34,880
right place you're not gonna catch them anyway.

832
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:36,860
What we need really to do is understand

833
01:16:36,860 --> 01:16:39,650
the problem you know how widespread how

834
01:16:39,650 --> 01:16:42,580
many spots is it if we've relocated on a dislocated

835
01:16:42,580 --> 01:16:43,970
and from the ramble and Strawberry Fields

836
01:16:43,970 --> 01:16:44,910
is that great and is

837
01:16:44,910 --> 01:16:45,980
that something we should be proud of and

838
01:16:45,980 --> 01:16:48,220
just continue to hold those two areas

839
01:16:48,220 --> 01:16:49,684
and get crazy it's like a waging of war

840
01:16:49,684 --> 01:16:52,290
and having your troops all over the place?

841
01:16:53,130 --> 01:16:56,376
Can we can we resod and then reconfigure that area

842
01:16:56,376 --> 01:16:58,814
that you're talking about, level it out?

843
01:16:58,814 --> 01:17:01,540
Is that just defeating our purpose?

844
01:17:01,540 --> 01:17:04,325
- In some areas that could be appropriate,

845
01:17:04,325 --> 01:17:06,930
the idea is you don't want to alter

846
01:17:06,930 --> 01:17:10,100
the park so much I mean again it just

847
01:17:10,100 --> 01:17:13,570
snowballs and you keep putting boulders down or snow fence

848
01:17:13,570 --> 01:17:15,483
and there's only so much you could do

849
01:17:15,483 --> 01:17:20,090
again part of the education really is it,

850
01:17:20,090 --> 01:17:22,550
to get to talk to these folks and

851
01:17:22,550 --> 01:17:24,710
telling them what they're most of them

852
01:17:24,710 --> 01:17:26,880
I would assume would cooperate, 'cause they

853
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,180
look like intelligent people, they're older

854
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:32,280
and I think if the problem is

855
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,960
explained to them, I think we could help

856
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:37,650
alleviate some of it.

857
01:17:37,650 --> 01:17:40,210
And then there are those that whatever you tell them

858
01:17:40,210 --> 01:17:41,400
they're going to continue to do what

859
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:42,710
they're going to do and I guess those

860
01:17:42,710 --> 01:17:44,180
are the people we really want to target.

861
01:17:44,180 --> 01:17:45,887
- There's an education issue but I think that

862
01:17:45,887 --> 01:17:47,790
basically what you have to get to them

863
01:17:47,790 --> 01:17:50,690
is the message that we're not gonna allow it.

864
01:17:50,690 --> 01:17:51,630
- Well, there's a principle here

865
01:17:51,630 --> 01:17:53,564
which is a principle of sequestering

866
01:17:53,564 --> 01:17:56,430
pieces of the park and dedicating

867
01:17:56,430 --> 01:17:58,380
for special interest groups and when you do that

868
01:17:58,380 --> 01:18:00,230
you lose the most precious thing

869
01:18:00,230 --> 01:18:03,918
the park has, which is it's free open space for everybody.

870
01:18:03,918 --> 01:18:05,160
- Basically what they're saying is we want

871
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,600
to have a place to damage in the park

872
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:08,470
and that's not acceptable.

873
01:18:08,470 --> 01:18:11,790
We can't really negotiate with that group because

874
01:18:11,790 --> 01:18:14,577
there's no negotiate in an inch of the park.

875
01:18:14,577 --> 01:18:18,550
It's a landscape park, that's the point of this whole thing,

876
01:18:18,550 --> 01:18:21,464
it's man made and man tended, and we're not

877
01:18:21,464 --> 01:18:24,430
that's an illicit activity as far as we're concerned.

878
01:18:24,430 --> 01:18:25,490
There's a larger issue here.

879
01:18:25,490 --> 01:18:27,040
Neil says it's really scattered even

880
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:30,750
husbands and wives on their bikes cut across lawns routinely

881
01:18:30,750 --> 01:18:33,460
in all areas of the park, it's not these organized gangs

882
01:18:33,460 --> 01:18:35,410
that we're necessarily up against.

883
01:18:35,410 --> 01:18:37,900
They seem to have gotten the message at least somewhat.

884
01:18:37,900 --> 01:18:39,940
- I think people want to have a feeling,

885
01:18:39,940 --> 01:18:43,190
that there are park rules, and they'll be enforced.

886
01:18:43,190 --> 01:18:46,230
Maybe we can have the park rules in a simple a brochure

887
01:18:46,230 --> 01:18:49,190
that will available at the park entrances.

888
01:18:50,969 --> 01:18:55,510
Most people have no idea that there are park rules

889
01:18:55,510 --> 01:18:56,608
or that there's any limit on their behavior other than

890
01:18:56,608 --> 01:19:00,809
committing an act of violence or crime.

891
01:19:00,809 --> 01:19:03,430
The process of informing people of the rules,

892
01:19:03,430 --> 01:19:06,720
what's expected them, is a timeless one,

893
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,930
it's like each generation has to be told

894
01:19:08,930 --> 01:19:09,809
it looks like it's a different

895
01:19:09,809 --> 01:19:13,380
generation that comes up each year and I

896
01:19:13,380 --> 01:19:15,400
know something's already been done,

897
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,530
but it's got to be done and redone

898
01:19:17,530 --> 01:19:20,268
until people are aware of what's expected.

899
01:19:20,268 --> 01:19:25,268
I see enormous changes in public behavior,

900
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:27,237
and some areas are getting better

901
01:19:27,237 --> 01:19:29,670
and some areas are getting worse

902
01:19:29,670 --> 01:19:31,830
it's getting better in areas like

903
01:19:31,830 --> 01:19:35,040
people wearing seat belts in cars, and in

904
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,702
people not smoking and then people are

905
01:19:37,702 --> 01:19:41,640
eating differently in many cases and

906
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,640
much less driving while intoxicated,

907
01:19:44,650 --> 01:19:46,140
because of awareness of that where there've

908
01:19:46,140 --> 01:19:49,559
been large advertising campaigns there

909
01:19:49,559 --> 01:19:50,980
have been changes to people's behavior.

910
01:19:50,980 --> 01:19:54,630
At the same time in those areas which really

911
01:19:54,630 --> 01:19:59,630
aren't closely monitored and sort of conduct choices

912
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:01,970
as opposed to lifestyle choices

913
01:20:01,970 --> 01:20:03,520
plenty people doing much worse,

914
01:20:04,430 --> 01:20:06,640
- [Woman] It's not worse here in the park than it was

915
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:09,255
in the '70s and we've come a long way toward

916
01:20:09,255 --> 01:20:14,255
reclaiming the park and managing it a lot better than it was

917
01:20:15,430 --> 01:20:18,070
managed 10 years ago, but they're still.

918
01:20:19,580 --> 01:20:23,020
- Well I'm talking, the park is much cleaner than it was,

919
01:20:23,020 --> 01:20:24,910
we have a conservative so we have more people,

920
01:20:24,910 --> 01:20:28,320
we have greater efforts, and the parks department has

921
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,260
then regained control of Central Park,

922
01:20:31,230 --> 01:20:33,480
it's not a horror show, but.

923
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:38,800
Totally an individual behavior you see over there

924
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,640
on the Great Lawn, and the park is like a holy place

925
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,290
no one should to defile it and you wouldn't leave

926
01:20:44,290 --> 01:20:46,980
your garbage in a church or a synagogue

927
01:20:46,980 --> 01:20:50,860
and I think the park should be shown respect

928
01:20:50,860 --> 01:20:53,050
and I think that's the message

929
01:20:53,050 --> 01:20:55,850
we have to get across to people

930
01:20:55,850 --> 01:20:58,090
that the park is like their living room,

931
01:20:59,090 --> 01:21:01,340
they wouldn't litter their own living room,

932
01:21:01,340 --> 01:21:03,062
they shouldn't litter the public living room

933
01:21:03,062 --> 01:21:08,062
at Central Park.

934
01:21:30,625 --> 01:21:32,791
(talking)

935
01:21:49,732 --> 01:21:51,982
(laughter)

936
01:22:10,411 --> 01:22:12,577
(chatter)

937
01:23:12,586 --> 01:23:14,144
- After this Bob I want to go uptown

938
01:23:14,144 --> 01:23:16,689
to 109th Street, to that vandalized tree.

939
01:23:16,689 --> 01:23:17,522
- Okay.

940
01:23:27,981 --> 01:23:30,231
A light streak, definitely.

941
01:23:35,368 --> 01:23:38,201
(excited chatter)

942
01:24:46,022 --> 01:24:46,855
- Wow.

943
01:24:48,214 --> 01:24:49,714
- See what we did?

944
01:24:50,806 --> 01:24:55,806
We can make a cake, if you cover this part right here,

945
01:24:55,867 --> 01:24:56,700
see?

946
01:25:03,502 --> 01:25:05,335
Going somewhere, yeah!

947
01:25:09,388 --> 01:25:11,662
- [Girl] I'm not just.

948
01:25:11,662 --> 01:25:15,913
- [Child] You have to get down and I'll do it.

949
01:25:15,913 --> 01:25:18,080
(chatter)

950
01:25:41,651 --> 01:25:44,219
- [Pitcher] Take your time, get ready, ready?

951
01:25:44,219 --> 01:25:47,409
Put all your power into it now, go ahead,

952
01:25:47,409 --> 01:25:52,409
beautiful, look at that beautiful!

953
01:25:54,284 --> 01:25:57,284
(traditional drums)

954
01:26:04,940 --> 01:26:06,690
- Well we're just about ready for one of

955
01:26:06,690 --> 01:26:09,120
the highlights of today's festival it's

956
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:12,780
a performance by a group called Forces of Nature.

957
01:26:12,780 --> 01:26:15,160
And they're going to dance a lamba,

958
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:16,950
or celebration, which is based

959
01:26:16,950 --> 01:26:19,740
in the West African folklore tradition.

960
01:26:19,740 --> 01:26:22,290
Now much of what you'll see is rooted in the past,

961
01:26:22,290 --> 01:26:25,540
but Forces of Nature mixes the old with the new

962
01:26:25,540 --> 01:26:27,947
creating something entirely unique.

963
01:26:32,370 --> 01:26:36,202
(singing in foreign language)

964
01:26:49,061 --> 01:26:52,061
(traditional drums)

965
01:26:54,017 --> 01:26:56,267
- [Director] Cut, cut, cut.

966
01:26:59,267 --> 01:27:01,490
I was waving the trucks past, I'm sorry.

967
01:27:01,490 --> 01:27:02,323
I'm sorry.

968
01:27:02,323 --> 01:27:04,620
- [Man] You were waving the trucks past?

969
01:27:04,620 --> 01:27:07,350
- Yeah, I was trying to get them to go.

970
01:27:07,350 --> 01:27:08,380
- [Woman] Still speeding.

971
01:27:08,380 --> 01:27:11,398
- Okay, they're pissed now we're still rolling,

972
01:27:11,398 --> 01:27:12,697
we can pick it up with the drumming please.

973
01:27:12,697 --> 01:27:15,697
(traditional drums)

974
01:27:32,942 --> 01:27:35,192
(applause)

975
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,760
(traditional drums)

976
01:28:32,729 --> 01:28:35,312
(upbeat music)

977
01:28:57,882 --> 01:28:59,965
(sirens)

978
01:29:28,393 --> 01:29:30,976
(upbeat music)

979
01:29:40,678 --> 01:29:43,011
(drum beat)

980
01:29:49,955 --> 01:29:51,336
- [Woman] Should we go see what it is?

981
01:29:51,336 --> 01:29:53,669
(drum beat)

982
01:29:57,634 --> 01:29:58,884
- Yes, why not?

983
01:30:27,501 --> 01:30:29,668
(chatter)

984
01:30:30,763 --> 01:30:33,082
- [Woman] When baby birds fall out of their nest

985
01:30:33,082 --> 01:30:36,253
it's better to leave them alone.

986
01:30:36,253 --> 01:30:39,586
Yes parents can come down and swoop 'em.

987
01:30:41,702 --> 01:30:45,369
- I don't know she said the were looking,

988
01:30:45,369 --> 01:30:46,420
I can see two eyes.

989
01:30:49,184 --> 01:30:50,747
Looking at me.

990
01:30:50,747 --> 01:30:52,830
(laughs)

991
01:30:54,045 --> 01:30:56,101
Move a little bit

992
01:30:56,101 --> 01:30:57,101
to one side.

993
01:30:59,110 --> 01:30:59,943
Hello.

994
01:31:02,210 --> 01:31:03,610
To the other side she moves.

995
01:31:06,586 --> 01:31:09,610
She's very peaceful, she looks very peaceful.

996
01:31:09,610 --> 01:31:12,059
I saw two ants running around, wow,

997
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:15,032
they're racing.

998
01:31:17,206 --> 01:31:20,957
But it's nice, it doesn't disturb her.

999
01:31:26,059 --> 01:31:28,550
She's so peaceful now,

1000
01:31:28,550 --> 01:31:31,833
she's enjoying all the landscape looking around.

1001
01:31:33,805 --> 01:31:35,271
It's beautiful, did you look at her?

1002
01:31:35,271 --> 01:31:37,062
- [Man] Yeah, I saw it.

1003
01:31:37,062 --> 01:31:42,062
- [Woman In Blue] It's nice.

1004
01:33:13,170 --> 01:33:16,900
- [Woman At Podium] And before we go on I have another treat

1005
01:33:16,900 --> 01:33:20,670
because Betsy Barlow most of you know is

1006
01:33:20,670 --> 01:33:22,510
one of the most remarkable women.

1007
01:33:22,510 --> 01:33:25,296
I'm not going to give her very much time but I'm

1008
01:33:25,296 --> 01:33:28,650
going to ask her to not only let me

1009
01:33:28,650 --> 01:33:30,860
introduce her to those of you who do not know her

1010
01:33:30,860 --> 01:33:33,809
but she has a wonderful story about this hill

1011
01:33:33,809 --> 01:33:36,460
we're having our luncheon on today, our picnic,

1012
01:33:39,053 --> 01:33:40,309
welcome Betsy.

1013
01:33:41,472 --> 01:33:43,720
(applause)

1014
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:44,553
And you're so wonderful.

1015
01:33:44,553 --> 01:33:45,856
She came all the way from the Bronx today

1016
01:33:45,856 --> 01:33:47,315
to be with us she's been in a meeting there,

1017
01:33:47,315 --> 01:33:48,373
and you left the meeting

1018
01:33:48,373 --> 01:33:49,594
I know in the lunch in there and we really appreciate it.

1019
01:33:49,594 --> 01:33:51,710
- Oh, well it's my pleasure and how many years

1020
01:33:51,710 --> 01:33:53,900
have we been doing this picnic is this our?

1021
01:33:53,900 --> 01:33:54,733
- [Woman] Fifth isn't it?

1022
01:33:54,733 --> 01:33:58,580
- [Betsy] Fifth, fourth?

1023
01:33:58,580 --> 01:33:59,790
it's really wonderful but we've

1024
01:33:59,790 --> 01:34:03,380
never been here before, fourth.

1025
01:34:04,730 --> 01:34:09,170
We're really happy to have you here at the Great Hill

1026
01:34:09,170 --> 01:34:13,770
we try and bring you to different spots in the park

1027
01:34:13,770 --> 01:34:16,990
and when we brainstormed about where to go this year

1028
01:34:16,990 --> 01:34:18,680
we thought they would be very nice to

1029
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:22,020
come here we're at 106th Street near

1030
01:34:22,020 --> 01:34:24,660
the west side, near Central Park West,

1031
01:34:24,660 --> 01:34:26,889
and this is the Great Hill.

1032
01:34:26,889 --> 01:34:29,190
And the Great Hill is one of the highest points

1033
01:34:29,190 --> 01:34:32,219
in Central Park and it's one of the coolest today

1034
01:34:32,219 --> 01:34:36,150
on this hot day and you're under some of the most

1035
01:34:36,150 --> 01:34:38,889
magnificent elm trees in the park.

1036
01:34:38,889 --> 01:34:42,050
These beautiful elms are some of the elms some

1037
01:34:42,050 --> 01:34:45,308
of the 1,800 elms that we are protecting.

1038
01:34:45,308 --> 01:34:48,769
We have people scouting now for Dutch Elm Disease

1039
01:34:48,769 --> 01:34:51,740
and if we see any signs of infection

1040
01:34:51,740 --> 01:34:55,490
we will promptly treat the tree or if

1041
01:34:55,490 --> 01:34:57,480
necessary if it's badly infected we'll

1042
01:34:57,480 --> 01:35:02,480
have to remove it, the Great Hill was a turnaround

1043
01:35:02,540 --> 01:35:03,678
on the carriage drive, you would drive off

1044
01:35:03,678 --> 01:35:06,321
the carriage drive and you could come up here

1045
01:35:06,321 --> 01:35:10,730
and it was simply to enjoy the view in those days.

1046
01:35:10,730 --> 01:35:14,180
The tree canopy had not been built up to such an

1047
01:35:14,180 --> 01:35:15,941
extent as it is now, and you could look out

1048
01:35:15,941 --> 01:35:17,407
and you could actually see Long Island Sound

1049
01:35:17,407 --> 01:35:20,620
in the distance, or you could look over

1050
01:35:20,620 --> 01:35:23,840
to the the west and maybe even catch

1051
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:25,940
a glimpse of the Palisade.

1052
01:35:25,940 --> 01:35:28,190
The Rangers are looking after us today.

1053
01:35:32,480 --> 01:35:34,930
He's lonesome, he wants to go back to the stable,

1054
01:35:36,139 --> 01:35:40,983
and the place then changed dramatically,

1055
01:35:40,983 --> 01:35:45,240
and during the long Robert Moses administration

1056
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,859
he believed in putting in recreation facilities in the park

1057
01:35:48,859 --> 01:35:53,859
and so we had bocce court, shuffleboard,

1058
01:35:53,889 --> 01:35:57,035
badminton, recreation facilities are all

1059
01:35:57,035 --> 01:36:00,500
in this current meadow, what we have

1060
01:36:00,500 --> 01:36:03,014
returned to meadow, when we first saw the place

1061
01:36:03,014 --> 01:36:04,969
it was like being an archeologist,

1062
01:36:04,969 --> 01:36:07,056
you wondered, you know what was this civilization?

1063
01:36:07,056 --> 01:36:10,820
What did they do, who were they that left these ruins?

1064
01:36:10,820 --> 01:36:12,570
There was nothing but concrete and weeds

1065
01:36:12,570 --> 01:36:16,600
growing out of it, anyway we tore up all of the asphalt

1066
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:19,350
and the concrete and we returned it to meadow.

1067
01:36:19,350 --> 01:36:23,080
Now Central Park is 840 acres and it's

1068
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:26,559
not getting any bigger but with projects

1069
01:36:26,559 --> 01:36:28,600
like this it is getting bigger because

1070
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:32,010
we are returning to public use,

1071
01:36:32,010 --> 01:36:35,309
pieces of the park that were formerly abandoned

1072
01:36:35,309 --> 01:36:36,950
you would not have liked to have come

1073
01:36:36,950 --> 01:36:39,047
here five years ago it was a little bit

1074
01:36:39,047 --> 01:36:42,210
sinister feeling it didn't feel comfortable.

1075
01:36:42,210 --> 01:36:45,880
Now it's safe, it's comfortable, and it's a wonderful place

1076
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:47,370
to come to, I hope you'll come back.

1077
01:36:47,370 --> 01:36:50,118
I come here sometimes with my family for picnics

1078
01:36:50,118 --> 01:36:52,100
and I hope that some of you will

1079
01:36:52,100 --> 01:36:54,371
also think of coming back very soon and

1080
01:36:54,371 --> 01:36:57,980
please go on Gene Clark's tour, anybody

1081
01:36:57,980 --> 01:36:59,930
that has not been on the tour,

1082
01:36:59,930 --> 01:37:02,108
'cause it's the best way you can familiarize

1083
01:37:02,108 --> 01:37:05,719
yourself with the the whole park and

1084
01:37:05,719 --> 01:37:07,880
really come to understand what

1085
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:10,712
the great, rich, wonderful resources of

1086
01:37:10,712 --> 01:37:12,246
Central Park are for you and your family.

1107

18 of these little tabs.

1171

And that's four, eight, 12, 16.

1172
01:46:38,660 --> 01:46:39,878
- [Officer] 16, and what's on the other one?

1173
01:46:39,878 --> 01:46:43,900
- 18.

1174
01:46:45,340 --> 01:46:46,450
- [Officer] What's the?

1175
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:49,309
- 19 it's 19, in here.

1176
01:46:49,309 --> 01:46:50,889
- [Officer] What's the mescaline?

1177
01:46:52,218 --> 01:46:55,577
- I imagine that this may be the mescaline,

1178
01:46:57,947 --> 01:47:00,762
and this is LSD, I don't know.

1179
01:47:00,762 --> 01:47:04,559
- This is the acid the paper stuff

1180
01:47:04,559 --> 01:47:05,860
and this is the mescaline.

1181
01:47:08,139 --> 01:47:09,500
- You went through the rest of the bag now?

1182
01:47:09,500 --> 01:47:11,910
- Yeah, the bags been checked everything's good.

1183
01:47:11,910 --> 01:47:14,130
All the narcotics are found.

1184
01:48:00,066 --> 01:48:01,090
- [Woman] The one thing we did want to learn

1185
01:48:01,090 --> 01:48:02,850
a little bit about every time we come here,.

1186
01:48:02,850 --> 01:48:04,929
we know a little bit about

1187
01:48:04,929 --> 01:48:09,200
the fundraising arm of the Conservancy.

1188
01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:12,309
- There it is, this is my arm, this is my right arm

1189
01:48:12,309 --> 01:48:13,910
this is my right arm right here.

1190
01:48:16,482 --> 01:48:18,262
- [Woman In Brown] And you're following the plan

1191
01:48:18,262 --> 01:48:20,350
of a 15 mile restoration?

1192
01:48:20,350 --> 01:48:22,430
- Pretty much, pretty much, pretty much.

1193
01:48:23,730 --> 01:48:25,950
I was recruited two years ago basically

1194
01:48:25,950 --> 01:48:29,090
to build a professional fundraising base

1195
01:48:29,090 --> 01:48:31,090
for the Conservancy which had

1196
01:48:31,090 --> 01:48:33,760
in the five years previously gotten to the point

1197
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:35,662
where it was raising about 4.5 million dollars

1198
01:48:35,662 --> 01:48:38,420
in its last year when I came on board

1199
01:48:38,420 --> 01:48:40,100
which was very credible.

1200
01:48:40,100 --> 01:48:42,139
We have raised in the two years

1201
01:48:42,139 --> 01:48:45,840
since 22 million 5.

1202
01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:46,682
- In two years.

1203
01:48:46,682 --> 01:48:48,643
- In two years.

1204
01:48:48,643 --> 01:48:49,725
- [Woman In Brown] Well how do you account for that,

1205
01:48:49,725 --> 01:48:52,382
is that the right arm, or the left arm, is that you?

1206
01:48:52,382 --> 01:48:55,231
What in the world happened here?

1207
01:48:55,231 --> 01:48:57,019
(all talking)

1208
01:48:57,019 --> 01:49:01,064
- No, it has just been a matter of putting in place

1209
01:49:01,064 --> 01:49:05,010
a tried and true, there's nothing magical about what we do,

1210
01:49:05,010 --> 01:49:07,400
nothing particularly different about what we do

1211
01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:10,630
that other organizations do.

1212
01:49:10,630 --> 01:49:14,594
We have very effective special events, we have a solid

1213
01:49:14,594 --> 01:49:17,210
professional who handles foundations in government.

1214
01:49:17,210 --> 01:49:20,790
Someone who handles marketing and corporate fundraising

1215
01:49:20,790 --> 01:49:22,987
and a very strong person in major gifts.

1216
01:49:22,987 --> 01:49:25,219
We have built and enhanced

1217
01:49:25,219 --> 01:49:28,490
the board tremendously, we have effective leadership

1218
01:49:28,490 --> 01:49:30,261
at the development steering committee level

1219
01:49:30,261 --> 01:49:31,094
- [Woman In Brown] Of the board.

1220
01:49:31,094 --> 01:49:32,232
- of the board,

1221
01:49:32,232 --> 01:49:34,800
and we have simply gotten out there

1222
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:36,120
and asked for bigger gifts.

1223
01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:38,070
When I first came I looked at all the proposals

1224
01:49:38,070 --> 01:49:40,680
and they typically said we're a young organization,

1225
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:42,490
we're in our infancy, we're doing great things

1226
01:49:42,490 --> 01:49:44,945
in historic preservation, great things in horticulture,

1227
01:49:44,945 --> 01:49:46,070
won't you help us?

1228
01:49:46,070 --> 01:49:48,487
And everybody said you're darn right, here's $500.

1229
01:49:48,487 --> 01:49:50,561
And I said you see these proposals,

1230
01:49:50,561 --> 01:49:53,054
forget it, no more proposals like that.

1231
01:49:53,054 --> 01:49:56,726
We are a serious organization we need a $150,000

1232
01:49:56,726 --> 01:49:59,170
for the following project you put a budget in,

1233
01:49:59,170 --> 01:50:01,150
you act like you're the public library,

1234
01:50:01,150 --> 01:50:02,790
you act like the your Lincoln Center,

1235
01:50:02,790 --> 01:50:05,690
and the gifts become commensurate with the kind of posture

1236
01:50:05,690 --> 01:50:08,190
that you present publicly and it has worked.

1237
01:50:08,190 --> 01:50:10,008
Two things have happened, the average gift size

1238
01:50:10,008 --> 01:50:13,250
from our existing donors has gone up tremendously.

1239
01:50:13,250 --> 01:50:15,940
And then we have attracted a host of new donors.

1240
01:50:15,940 --> 01:50:20,940
So that in the first 23 months of a five year campaign

1241
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:23,300
we're in the midst of, I was brought on

1242
01:50:23,300 --> 01:50:26,510
to conduct a 50 million dollar capital campaign,

1243
01:50:26,510 --> 01:50:30,590
in the first three months we raised the 22 million 5,

1244
01:50:30,590 --> 01:50:33,010
so we're doing very well, and I predict we'll have one more

1245
01:50:33,010 --> 01:50:35,294
relatively easy year, and then it gets tougher.

1246
01:50:35,294 --> 01:50:38,139
That's how campaigns go, but my goal is

1247
01:50:38,139 --> 01:50:39,510
that at the end of the five years

1248
01:50:39,510 --> 01:50:42,320
we set at a different point than we were before,

1249
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:43,380
so that you don't drop down

1250
01:50:43,380 --> 01:50:46,430
to the level of annual giving that you had pre-campaign.

1251
01:50:46,430 --> 01:50:47,380
But you're at a different level.

1252
01:50:47,380 --> 01:50:49,160
And what we're doing particularly with

1253
01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:50,815
corporations when we go to them and say

1254
01:50:50,815 --> 01:50:52,786
we are in a campaign will you make

1255
01:50:52,786 --> 01:50:55,337
a significant leadership bellwether gift?

1256
01:50:55,337 --> 01:51:00,337
We also say please preserve the annual gift if you can.

1257
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:01,469
So that the model really

1258
01:51:01,469 --> 01:51:03,520
is give a six-figure one-time gift to

1259
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:05,000
the campaign which may be paid over

1260
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,410
several years, but commit to us if you can,

1261
01:51:08,410 --> 01:51:13,410
that your five, 10, 25 annual support will also come in

1262
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:16,760
and many of the corporations have responded that way,

1263
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:18,880
that's the ideal, because then you know that you

1264
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:21,530
have that locked in the future.

1265
01:51:21,530 --> 01:51:22,880
- What's the trigger,

1266
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:27,270
what you donate a stone to them in the new building or?

1267
01:51:27,270 --> 01:51:28,430
- [Woman In Blue] It's very tough.

1268
01:51:28,430 --> 01:51:31,000
- Donor recognition is important also.

1269
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:31,880
- My background

1270
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:36,880
is with medical centers and there it's easy you can put

1271
01:51:37,219 --> 01:51:40,180
a plaque on a room, or a machine, or anything,

1272
01:51:40,180 --> 01:51:41,340
it's much harder in the park.

1273
01:51:41,340 --> 01:51:43,000
You don't want the park to look like a graveyard,

1274
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,780
by the same token the more you attract donors

1275
01:51:45,780 --> 01:51:48,559
of significance the more those donors expect some kind

1276
01:51:48,559 --> 01:51:50,380
of recognition, well you may not have to

1277
01:51:50,380 --> 01:51:52,760
recognize a gift of the at the $5,000 level,

1278
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:54,540
you sure have to do something for

1279
01:51:54,540 --> 01:51:56,380
your million dollar donor, unfortunately

1280
01:51:56,380 --> 01:51:59,300
we have more at that level than ever, so it really.

1281
01:51:59,300 --> 01:52:02,190
(laughter)

1282
01:52:02,190 --> 01:52:03,023
Fortunate.

1283
01:52:03,023 --> 01:52:04,240
- [Man In Suit] You could be so fortunate.

1284
01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:08,330
- Fortunately, so we have had to be artful about

1285
01:52:08,330 --> 01:52:10,920
finding ways that we can recognize donors,

1286
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:12,079
whether it's through literature,

1287
01:52:12,079 --> 01:52:14,550
or in the park with a paving stone in

1288
01:52:14,550 --> 01:52:16,300
the ground or something on a rock, but it.

1289
01:52:16,300 --> 01:52:19,300
- Speaking of that I was with him this morning,

1290
01:52:19,300 --> 01:52:22,837
we went and looked, we have a paving stone in the ground

1291
01:52:22,837 --> 01:52:26,059
but the inside lettering, all of it was filling

1292
01:52:26,059 --> 01:52:28,290
up with dirt, and so you could,

1293
01:52:28,290 --> 01:52:32,370
oh my God, this nice, sweeping subtle technique.

1294
01:52:32,370 --> 01:52:36,290
So we're now in the process of redoing that plaque

1295
01:52:36,290 --> 01:52:38,170
for the donor, I mean the donor deserves to have

1296
01:52:38,170 --> 01:52:40,690
name recognition, it's just that you

1297
01:52:40,690 --> 01:52:41,969
wanted to be able to read the name,

1298
01:52:41,969 --> 01:52:44,050
it has to be legible on the plaque, so anyway,

1299
01:52:44,050 --> 01:52:45,889
there are these kinds of problems,

1300
01:52:45,889 --> 01:52:49,280
but they're very pleasant problems really, and what she's

1301
01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:51,010
saying is that we don't want the park to

1302
01:52:51,010 --> 01:52:53,260
look like a cemetery, you can't put big markers,

1303
01:52:53,260 --> 01:52:56,600
but there are ways that we can set into the paving,

1304
01:52:56,600 --> 01:53:00,200
or on a park bench, or on a fountain, you can make an

1305
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:01,656
inscription on it, there are places for

1306
01:53:01,656 --> 01:53:05,860
very tasteful donor recognition.

1307
01:53:05,860 --> 01:53:07,960
I would like to back up just a moment

1308
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:12,960
and say that the Conservancy was founded

1309
01:53:13,950 --> 01:53:16,300
as a partnership with the Department of Parks.

1310
01:53:16,300 --> 01:53:19,264
I am the administrator, I report to

1311
01:53:19,264 --> 01:53:21,254
Commissioner Stern who in turn reports

1312
01:53:21,254 --> 01:53:25,540
to the mayor, so we are as I said a mayoral agency.

1313
01:53:25,540 --> 01:53:30,540
I'm part of city government, but as the one of the founders

1314
01:53:30,865 --> 01:53:34,680
of the Conservancy and as its executive head

1315
01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:38,880
I have this other job, and when we founded

1316
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:42,650
the Conservancy back in 1980

1317
01:53:42,650 --> 01:53:47,620
the mission was to get the public

1318
01:53:47,620 --> 01:53:50,410
to think about the park as more than a park,

1319
01:53:50,410 --> 01:53:52,350
I mean, what are parks?

1320
01:53:54,053 --> 01:53:57,000
Urban parks, they're recreation, they're open space,

1321
01:53:57,000 --> 01:53:59,440
a traditional definition of parks but,

1322
01:53:59,440 --> 01:54:01,870
there are also other things as well there,

1323
01:54:01,870 --> 01:54:03,610
like museums, there're collections,

1324
01:54:03,610 --> 01:54:06,584
there're collections of trees and public sculpture,

1325
01:54:06,584 --> 01:54:10,144
and beautiful things, which you have to

1326
01:54:10,144 --> 01:54:12,181
realize about this park that makes it

1327
01:54:12,181 --> 01:54:14,559
different perhaps from from any other

1328
01:54:14,559 --> 01:54:19,559
park in the world is it's a venue for activities.

1329
01:54:20,809 --> 01:54:22,340
I mean on the scale that

1330
01:54:22,340 --> 01:54:24,460
just probably doesn't happen anywhere else.

1331
01:54:24,460 --> 01:54:25,850
I mean everyone, whether you're

1332
01:54:25,850 --> 01:54:28,321
Simon and Garfunkel, you know making your

1333
01:54:28,321 --> 01:54:33,321
reunion come back, or it's the June 10th peace rally,

1334
01:54:34,145 --> 01:54:38,010
I mean it is the place people want to come.

1335
01:55:28,027 --> 01:55:30,443
- [Photographer] That's good.

1336
01:55:31,531 --> 01:55:32,735
Not too much.

1337
01:55:32,735 --> 01:55:37,735
Shawn go back, Shawn go back, that's good.

1338
01:55:39,853 --> 01:55:44,853
That's very nice.

1339
01:55:51,073 --> 01:55:52,539
- [Man] Music.

1340
01:55:52,539 --> 01:55:53,763
(upbeat music)

1341
01:55:53,763 --> 01:55:54,773
Action.

1342
01:55:54,773 --> 01:55:57,356
(upbeat music)

1343
01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:17,570
- [Woman] Some of them say peace now, some of them say

1344
01:56:17,570 --> 01:56:18,820
- [Man] And it's selling?

1345
01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:21,952
- Can they accept donations for the T-shirts?

1346
01:56:21,952 --> 01:56:24,559
- No, there's no selling.

1347
01:56:25,786 --> 01:56:27,660
- Nobody accepts donations for T-shirts, if someone

1348
01:56:27,660 --> 01:56:29,750
comes over and says I want a T-shirt for 50 cents, say no.

1349
01:56:29,750 --> 01:56:33,020
- Then they go outside the park, take their chances.

1350
01:56:33,020 --> 01:56:34,260
- Okay, then that means that we're going

1351
01:56:34,260 --> 01:56:36,160
to go in with a truck.

1352
01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:37,809
- Do we let anybody else come here and

1353
01:56:37,809 --> 01:56:40,625
sell T-shirts without a permit?

1354
01:56:40,625 --> 01:56:41,820
- No.

1355
01:56:42,719 --> 01:56:43,820
- Same thing for them.

1356
01:56:45,852 --> 01:56:48,019
(talking)

1357
01:56:49,248 --> 01:56:50,610
- [Man] I don't think so.

1358
01:56:50,610 --> 01:56:52,574
- We can go in with the wrap truck.

1359
01:56:52,574 --> 01:56:55,660
- [Man With Gray Hair] Do it now, do it now, 'cause

1360
01:56:55,660 --> 01:56:58,147
the longer you wait the longer it's gonna take.

1361
01:56:58,147 --> 01:56:58,996
- You want to come down with us?

1362
01:56:58,996 --> 01:56:59,870
- Sure.

1363
01:56:59,870 --> 01:57:00,702
What is it?

1364
01:57:00,702 --> 01:57:01,536
What is the issue?

1365
01:57:01,536 --> 01:57:03,249
- [Ranger] The issue sir is that we have T-shirts,

1366
01:57:03,249 --> 01:57:04,290
we have literature.

1367
01:57:04,290 --> 01:57:06,300
- [Man With Gray Hair] No good, no good.

1368
01:57:06,300 --> 01:57:07,133
Are they for sale?

1369
01:57:07,133 --> 01:57:08,020
- [Woman In Pink] No.

1370
01:57:08,020 --> 01:57:08,853
- Are they for free?

1371
01:57:08,853 --> 01:57:09,686
Somebody wants one will they be given one for free.

1372
01:57:09,686 --> 01:57:10,880
- [Woman With Short Hair] If they don't give a donation

1373
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:14,675
then they can have it, but a donation of whatever size.

1374
01:57:14,675 --> 01:57:16,028
- Suggested donation is $15.

1375
01:57:16,028 --> 01:57:18,969
- Don't do it for any groups here, there was

1376
01:57:18,969 --> 01:57:21,534
a permitted group that came into the park with the people

1377
01:57:21,534 --> 01:57:26,110
breaking the rockets, the bombs, that's it, nothing else.

1378
01:57:26,110 --> 01:57:27,302
- Yes sir.

1379
01:57:27,302 --> 01:57:28,135
- [Man With Gray Hair] And all this stuff that's hanging

1380
01:57:28,135 --> 01:57:29,139
- It's all coming down.

1381
01:57:30,295 --> 01:57:31,440
- [Man With Gray Hair] in the trees, has to go.

1382
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:34,010
- [Ranger] You are allowing the regular shirt

1383
01:57:34,010 --> 01:57:34,870
of the day to be sold.

1384
01:57:34,870 --> 01:57:35,702
- [Man] Yes.

1385
01:57:35,702 --> 01:57:38,550
- How can you say that one shirt is okay to be sold?

1386
01:57:38,550 --> 01:57:39,800
- No, no, no I'll tell you why.

1387
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:44,010
The organizers of the event when we negotiated with them

1388
01:57:44,010 --> 01:57:46,052
they said these are the items that are gonna be sold.

1389
01:57:46,052 --> 01:57:49,300
These are the items that we want allowed to be sold.

1390
01:57:49,300 --> 01:57:51,701
They showed us a button, they showed us a T-shirt,

1391
01:57:51,701 --> 01:57:54,749
we agreed to that, that's the only thing we agreed to.

1392
01:57:54,749 --> 01:57:57,660
So everything else, you were misinformed, but it wasn't

1393
01:57:57,660 --> 01:57:58,493
by the parks department.

1394
01:57:58,493 --> 01:57:59,952
- But I mean the parks department does allow

1395
01:57:59,952 --> 01:58:02,719
for those shirts to be,

1396
01:58:02,719 --> 01:58:03,956
- [Ranger] Yes.

1397
01:58:03,956 --> 01:58:05,030
- that were negotiated ahead of time.

1398
01:58:05,030 --> 01:58:06,280
- [Ranger] It was done at contract.

1399
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:09,782
It wasn't done here, it wasn't done at this moment,

1400
01:58:09,782 --> 01:58:13,380
it was done when we sat down and negotiated this whole event

1401
01:58:13,380 --> 01:58:16,271
so I'm sorry, and like I said it's in your best interest

1402
01:58:16,271 --> 01:58:19,309
not to sell them, because they will be confiscated.

1403
01:58:21,467 --> 01:58:22,753
- Do you know what the event is about?

1404
01:58:22,753 --> 01:58:24,809
- [Ranger] I know what the event is about.

1405
01:58:24,809 --> 01:58:26,730
- You know a lot of people are here.

1406
01:58:26,730 --> 01:58:28,290
- I understand that ma'am, but you have to

1407
01:58:28,290 --> 01:58:31,480
understand our position, we sat down

1408
01:58:31,480 --> 01:58:34,580
in good faith and negotiated this entire event.

1409
01:58:34,580 --> 01:58:36,889
We came here, we found something

1410
01:58:36,889 --> 01:58:39,980
that we didn't expect, we cannot allow it.

1411
01:58:39,980 --> 01:58:41,670
If they would have told us ahead of time it

1412
01:58:41,670 --> 01:58:42,889
would have been negotiated, but at this

1413
01:58:42,889 --> 01:58:45,370
point it's too late, if it's not literature

1414
01:58:45,370 --> 01:58:46,530
it cannot be sold.

1415
01:58:46,530 --> 01:58:50,139
- It's unbelievable, unbelievable,

1416
01:58:50,139 --> 01:58:51,260
it's absolutely unbelievable.

1417
01:58:51,260 --> 01:58:53,350
- [Ranger] A lot of these people are generally upset,

1418
01:58:53,350 --> 01:58:58,350
they were told they could do it.

1419
01:58:59,389 --> 01:59:00,223
- Why doesn't the city bend, that's what

1420
01:59:00,223 --> 01:59:02,280
I would like to know, why doesn't the city bend?

1421
01:59:03,170 --> 01:59:05,000
Well don't you have compassion or any

1422
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:06,559
kind of humanity, no one is doing this

1423
01:59:06,559 --> 01:59:09,309
for personal gain, we're all doing this

1424
01:59:09,309 --> 01:59:12,139
because we believe in peace and very strongly too.

1425
01:59:12,139 --> 01:59:14,150
This is just outrageous to me,

1426
01:59:14,150 --> 01:59:16,090
you know this is a peace event, it's not

1427
01:59:16,090 --> 01:59:18,770
personal vendors personally profiting from this thing.

1428
01:59:20,889 --> 01:59:23,360
I mean you know something, I'm always reminded of the

1429
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:25,540
Nuremberg trials where the Nazi stood up

1430
01:59:25,540 --> 01:59:29,100
and said, hey, I was just doing my job.

1431
01:59:29,100 --> 01:59:31,600
When do you guys stop saying but the colonel said?

1432
01:59:33,120 --> 01:59:34,900
- [Man] Nobody said.

1433
01:59:34,900 --> 01:59:37,135
- No, that's what I heard I heard that you negotiated,

1434
01:59:37,135 --> 01:59:39,800
who is this the person that negotiated this thing?

1435
01:59:40,826 --> 01:59:42,347
- The people who put together the demonstration,

1436
01:59:42,347 --> 01:59:44,754
when they applied for their permit they were told

1437
01:59:44,754 --> 01:59:48,480
what could and what could not be done in the park today.

1438
01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:49,410
These are one of the things that

1439
01:59:49,410 --> 01:59:50,760
we said could not be done.

1440
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:51,650
- [Man In Red] Why?

1441
01:59:51,650 --> 01:59:53,930
- Because we don't allow vending in the park.

1442
01:59:53,930 --> 01:59:54,763
That's it sir.

1443
01:59:54,763 --> 01:59:56,250
- [Man In Red] there is absolutely no vending in the park,

1444
01:59:56,250 --> 01:59:57,083
none?

1445
01:59:57,083 --> 01:59:58,550
- We have legal vendors in the park.

1446
01:59:58,550 --> 02:00:01,030
- [Man In Red] Why isn't this a legal vending event?

1447
02:00:01,030 --> 02:00:04,170
- Because your organization didn't make it one today sir.

1448
02:00:04,170 --> 02:00:06,110
- And therefore you're gonna follow the letter of the law

1449
02:00:06,110 --> 02:00:10,320
and you're going to make sure that all of this is destroyed.

1450
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:13,007
What's being attempted today, it's a beautiful day,

1451
02:00:13,007 --> 02:00:16,250
of course it is, this is part of the color

1452
02:00:16,250 --> 02:00:18,214
and the character of this event!

1453
02:00:18,214 --> 02:00:19,855
- The point is the agreement was made,

1454
02:00:19,855 --> 02:00:22,910
when you organize a rally such as this,

1455
02:00:22,910 --> 02:00:25,991
you come to the parks department, you make an agreement.

1456
02:00:25,991 --> 02:00:29,040
And when they came they didn't say

1457
02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:31,420
we want to allow vending of all things.

1458
02:00:31,420 --> 02:00:34,060
They said we want to allow vending of literature.

1459
02:00:34,060 --> 02:00:37,184
There is a right to sell literature,

1460
02:00:37,184 --> 02:00:39,160
we couldn't if we wanted to,

1461
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:42,882
which we don't, prevent the sale of literature at a rally.

1462
02:00:42,882 --> 02:00:45,164
But they did not say you want the sell teddy bears,

1463
02:00:45,164 --> 02:00:48,263
we want to sell earrings, we want sell necklaces.

1464
02:00:48,263 --> 02:00:51,060
If they had done those things

1465
02:00:51,060 --> 02:00:53,590
they would have been in the same position as everybody else

1466
02:00:53,590 --> 02:00:56,250
who does vending in Central Park

1467
02:00:56,250 --> 02:00:59,855
of negotiating sale agreements, a possessions agreement

1468
02:00:59,855 --> 02:01:03,752
with with the revenue deposit.

1469
02:01:03,752 --> 02:01:08,360
They could have gone that route, they did not go that route.

1470
02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:12,520
They then went and sold you, essentially sold you the right

1471
02:01:12,520 --> 02:01:14,240
to set up a table, right?

1472
02:01:14,240 --> 02:01:15,520
Which they hadn't negotiated,

1473
02:01:15,520 --> 02:01:18,270
they had negotiated for something else, now to be angry

1474
02:01:18,270 --> 02:01:19,981
at the parks department for.

1475
02:01:19,981 --> 02:01:24,981
- Yes, because at this late date we weren't in the wrong,

1476
02:01:25,107 --> 02:01:27,530
they may have been in the wrong, but there's something

1477
02:01:27,530 --> 02:01:28,600
called flexibility.

1478
02:01:28,600 --> 02:01:30,740
- [Man With Curly Hair] Why aren't you angry with them?

1479
02:01:30,740 --> 02:01:31,844
Why aren't you angry with them?

1480
02:01:31,844 --> 02:01:32,870
- At who?

1481
02:01:32,870 --> 02:01:34,470
I don't see any problem with sitting down now

1482
02:01:34,470 --> 02:01:35,820
and negotiating a new thing.

1483
02:01:35,820 --> 02:01:36,740
What's the problem?

1484
02:01:36,740 --> 02:01:40,250
- Central Park has about 100 activities a year.

1485
02:01:40,250 --> 02:01:44,165
Every one of them wants to set off literature sales.

1486
02:01:44,165 --> 02:01:46,950
In addition to that any number of organizations

1487
02:01:46,950 --> 02:01:49,676
would like to do it, even when there are no events.

1488
02:01:49,676 --> 02:01:54,676
So there's a policy for protecting the situation

1489
02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:58,090
in the park, which is a park which is meant for everybody,

1490
02:01:58,090 --> 02:01:59,340
and not just for this demonstration.

1491
02:01:59,340 --> 02:02:01,076
- Okay, how is the park being protected now?

1492
02:02:01,076 --> 02:02:03,040
- How is the park being protected?

1493
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:04,850
- Yeah, by eliminating all these vendors,

1494
02:02:04,850 --> 02:02:06,057
how is it being protected?

1495
02:02:06,057 --> 02:02:11,007
- It's protected by that policy, alright.

1496
02:02:11,007 --> 02:02:16,007
Of not permitting unlimited sale of items which

1497
02:02:16,230 --> 02:02:18,300
are commodities, that teddy bear is a commodity.

1498
02:02:18,300 --> 02:02:21,250
- Okay, so ask it to be removed, that's all.

1499
02:02:21,250 --> 02:02:24,100
We'll remove it, but you're asking all of these things.

1500
02:02:24,100 --> 02:02:26,950
We have T-shirts that's what that is,

1501
02:02:26,950 --> 02:02:29,430
we came here because we have peace items.

1502
02:02:29,430 --> 02:02:31,327
It's possible that you can sit down now

1503
02:02:31,327 --> 02:02:33,840
and renegotiate this thing, because okay,

1504
02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:36,725
you want the teddy bears out, I can see,

1505
02:02:36,725 --> 02:02:39,770
but to eliminate, we came here because

1506
02:02:39,770 --> 02:02:41,140
we're selling peace items.

1507
02:02:41,140 --> 02:02:45,760
- The organizer of this rally, who this was discussed with

1508
02:02:45,760 --> 02:02:46,920
about 20 minutes ago.

1509
02:02:46,920 --> 02:02:47,753
- [Man In Red] And?

1510
02:02:47,753 --> 02:02:49,246
- And she agreed.

1511
02:02:49,246 --> 02:02:50,240
- [Man In Red] She agreed what?

1512
02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:53,230
- That no items were to be sold except literature.

1513
02:02:53,230 --> 02:02:55,148
- [Man In Red] There should be at least, I think

1514
02:02:55,148 --> 02:02:57,590
you should give us at least one chance to.

1515
02:02:57,590 --> 02:02:58,826
- Why don't you start by talking with the organizers

1516
02:02:58,826 --> 02:03:00,688
of the rally you paid $35 to.

1517
02:03:00,688 --> 02:03:03,205
- Three-way discussion because the discussions of

1518
02:03:03,205 --> 02:03:06,866
negotiation for solution could never come

1519
02:03:06,866 --> 02:03:09,690
just between us because there is a missing link

1520
02:03:09,690 --> 02:03:11,310
which is the organizers.

1521
02:03:11,310 --> 02:03:12,143
- [Curly Haired Man] Exactly right.

1522
02:03:12,143 --> 02:03:13,910
- And if we're gonna sit down.

1523
02:03:13,910 --> 02:03:15,805
- [Man With Curly Hair] You don't know who they are?

1524
02:03:15,805 --> 02:03:20,010
- Yeah we do that woman with a green shirt.

1525
02:03:22,588 --> 02:03:25,890
But I think we should talk as a three party.

1526
02:03:25,890 --> 02:03:28,401
- I never thought this could happen where I live

1527
02:03:28,401 --> 02:03:31,650
in this country,

1528
02:03:31,650 --> 02:03:34,196
this is Russia.

1529
02:03:34,196 --> 02:03:36,326
This isn't America.

1530
02:03:36,326 --> 02:03:38,409
(crying)

1531
02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:48,590
Where are the people for freedom in this country?

1532
02:03:50,170 --> 02:03:53,340
They're closed down, they're closing these people down.

1533
02:03:53,340 --> 02:03:54,340
- [Woman In Yellow] I know, there must be

1534
02:03:54,340 --> 02:03:55,670
something we can do.

1535
02:03:55,670 --> 02:03:58,070
- They don't have proper papers, but where does

1536
02:03:58,070 --> 02:04:00,250
this happen in America?

1537
02:04:00,250 --> 02:04:02,260
- Well it happens all the time,

1538
02:04:02,260 --> 02:04:04,940
but the question is these these T-shirts and

1539
02:04:04,940 --> 02:04:06,920
buttons are form of political inspiration,

1540
02:04:06,920 --> 02:04:09,314
what's happening here is suppression of that.

1541
02:04:09,314 --> 02:04:11,960
Who knows what kind of distant thing,

1542
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:13,640
as far as we're concerned other people

1543
02:04:13,640 --> 02:04:17,170
who are with political groups, the literature here,

1544
02:04:17,170 --> 02:04:18,440
these people should be absolutely

1545
02:04:18,440 --> 02:04:20,180
be allowed to stay, this is outrageous

1546
02:04:20,180 --> 02:04:22,760
that this is happening, this is confiscating

1547
02:04:22,760 --> 02:04:25,234
means of political expression here.

1548
02:04:25,234 --> 02:04:26,318
- [Crying Woman] I can't believe this is happening

1549
02:04:26,318 --> 02:04:27,555
in America though.

1550
02:04:27,555 --> 02:04:28,666
- [Woman In Red] In America.

1551
02:04:28,666 --> 02:04:31,152
- [Crying Woman] I mean I don't expect it,

1552
02:04:31,152 --> 02:04:32,830
it happens though.

1553
02:04:32,830 --> 02:04:35,160
- [Woman In Red] It happens when they decide what laws

1554
02:04:35,160 --> 02:04:37,410
are going to be enforced, what laws are going to be passed.

1555
02:04:37,410 --> 02:04:38,270
- Well where's the mayor?

1556
02:04:38,270 --> 02:04:40,566
how does one get hold of the mayor for something like this?

1557
02:04:40,566 --> 02:04:43,126
Who does one find?

1558
02:04:43,126 --> 02:04:45,340
- [Woman In Red] I think we should try all kinds

1559
02:04:45,340 --> 02:04:48,102
of avenues, but I think it's mostly if people know

1560
02:04:48,102 --> 02:04:49,800
that other people here are really

1561
02:04:49,800 --> 02:04:53,147
incensed about this, really incensed about this.

(cheers)

1603
02:09:15,650 --> 02:09:17,450
- None of this can be done if we don't have

1604
02:09:17,450 --> 02:09:19,630
the money to do it, the city gives us some.

1605
02:09:19,630 --> 02:09:20,940
But we have got to raise the other

1606
02:09:20,940 --> 02:09:22,420
and we've got to raise it from the buildings

1607
02:09:22,420 --> 02:09:26,280
from 57th Street up West Side and south,

1608
02:09:26,280 --> 02:09:28,365
and so we're going to talk to each one of the buildings

1609
02:09:28,365 --> 02:09:31,809
Pat has talked to a great many but we're going

1610
02:09:31,809 --> 02:09:33,910
to come back at you because it's gonna

1611
02:09:33,910 --> 02:09:35,932
be time for us to start collecting

1612
02:09:35,932 --> 02:09:38,100
those who have not given.

1613
02:09:38,100 --> 02:09:40,860
Because what what Betsy's in the process of doing

1614
02:09:40,860 --> 02:09:43,932
right now, what I want to have in your hands by September,

1615
02:09:43,932 --> 02:09:47,023
what we've talked about is having a plan,

1616
02:09:47,023 --> 02:09:49,610
so that you'll see what's going to happen all the way

1617
02:09:49,610 --> 02:09:51,490
up on the east side, all the way

1618
02:09:51,490 --> 02:09:53,790
on the west side and on the south,

1619
02:09:53,790 --> 02:09:55,280
approximately how much it's going to cost us,

1620
02:09:55,280 --> 02:09:58,120
and what we need from the private sector from the buildings

1621
02:09:58,120 --> 02:10:00,340
along the perimeter to get it accomplished.

1622
02:10:00,340 --> 02:10:03,014
Because I think that's the important thing

1623
02:10:03,014 --> 02:10:04,410
not yet started there, so a lot has been done,

1624
02:10:04,410 --> 02:10:07,400
but an awful lot more has to be done, and I know your

1625
02:10:07,400 --> 02:10:10,000
people have questions, Pat and I'd both be happy

1626
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:13,070
to come and talk to the board if you need it,

1627
02:10:13,070 --> 02:10:14,859
if you can do it without us

1628
02:10:14,859 --> 02:10:17,559
that's fine, but we're here, and we're available,

1629
02:10:17,559 --> 02:10:19,280
we just wanted to put faces,

1630
02:10:19,280 --> 02:10:21,850
but Pat if you have anything else to say?

1631
02:10:21,850 --> 02:10:23,750
- Well one thing I think is important is

1632
02:10:23,750 --> 02:10:25,917
that so many of the people I've spoken to

1633
02:10:25,917 --> 02:10:29,790
had no idea what the Perimeter Association did

1634
02:10:29,790 --> 02:10:32,770
and they all felt that from the wall out

1635
02:10:32,770 --> 02:10:35,710
was the city, and that it had nothing to do

1636
02:10:35,710 --> 02:10:38,650
with Central Park, and what I think is important

1637
02:10:38,650 --> 02:10:41,080
for all of you to stress to your building is that

1638
02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:44,559
it is what your building looks out at on the park.

1639
02:10:44,559 --> 02:10:47,706
It is the curb, the sidewalk, the wall, the benches,

1640
02:10:47,706 --> 02:10:50,720
and all the perimeter trees, and planting, and shrubs

1641
02:10:50,720 --> 02:10:52,430
which have to be trimmed, and sprayed,

1642
02:10:52,430 --> 02:10:57,050
and so it's much more than they realize I think.

1643
02:10:57,050 --> 02:10:58,830
And also all the entrances.

1644
02:10:59,840 --> 02:11:02,543
We say it's the frame to a beautiful picture

1645
02:11:02,543 --> 02:11:05,170
and the picture most many

1646
02:11:05,170 --> 02:11:07,290
pictures really need a frame to make it

1647
02:11:07,290 --> 02:11:09,600
as beautiful as it should be, and the

1648
02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:11,940
perimeter is the is the beautiful frame

1649
02:11:11,940 --> 02:11:13,890
of this absolutely glorious picture that

1650
02:11:13,890 --> 02:11:16,490
we're so lucky to have in this wonderful

1651
02:11:16,490 --> 02:11:19,930
city of ours, and I see it every day,

1652
02:11:19,930 --> 02:11:22,690
especially when I come here, it's a treat.

1653
02:11:22,690 --> 02:11:25,150
But please tell them all the things you know,

1654
02:11:25,150 --> 02:11:27,545
from the tree, the bench, the wall,

1655
02:11:27,545 --> 02:11:30,960
and it's a very important part of the park,

1656
02:11:30,960 --> 02:11:34,880
and one that they probably look at more than anything else

1657
02:11:34,880 --> 02:11:37,990
is the perimeter of the park, the buildings on the park.

1658
02:11:37,990 --> 02:11:40,184
So we hope you will spread the word to your board,

1659
02:11:40,184 --> 02:11:44,010
to all the members in your building, and to any other

1660
02:11:44,010 --> 02:11:46,193
building, or anyone you know in another building

1661
02:11:46,193 --> 02:11:48,109
that hasn't become a member.

1662
02:11:48,109 --> 02:11:51,425
Any ideas or suggestions, we're available to go speak

1663
02:11:51,425 --> 02:11:54,910
at your board meetings, or whatever we can do.

1664
02:11:54,910 --> 02:11:56,559
- I feel

1665
02:11:56,559 --> 02:12:01,559
we should go a little beyond where we are now and what

1666
02:12:01,750 --> 02:12:03,912
do you think of each building hosting

1667
02:12:03,912 --> 02:12:08,850
either a luncheon, or a little cocktail reception

1668
02:12:08,850 --> 02:12:11,170
for a group of us so we can

1669
02:12:11,170 --> 02:12:12,850
explain and show this short film,

1670
02:12:12,850 --> 02:12:15,590
do you think that would be advantageous?

1671
02:12:15,590 --> 02:12:18,910
Because we really want to get everything to perfection,

1672
02:12:18,910 --> 02:12:23,750
and the one question we had earlier were the park benches

1673
02:12:23,750 --> 02:12:27,550
and I think that the way to get everyone interested

1674
02:12:27,550 --> 02:12:29,400
in keeping it perfect and

1675
02:12:29,400 --> 02:12:31,900
we've learned it from inside the park,

1676
02:12:31,900 --> 02:12:34,250
is to keep it pristine, because people have

1677
02:12:34,250 --> 02:12:35,880
a respect for it, and people didn't

1678
02:12:35,880 --> 02:12:37,498
believe that originally.

1679
02:12:37,498 --> 02:12:40,970
But you don't see a lot of people loitering,

1680
02:12:40,970 --> 02:12:43,330
you don't see a lot of people with the graffiti now

1681
02:12:43,330 --> 02:12:45,410
because they're keeping that perfect.

1682
02:12:45,410 --> 02:12:47,041
And I think if we get our sidewalks

1683
02:12:47,041 --> 02:12:49,771
really spruced up, really beautiful,

1684
02:12:49,771 --> 02:12:53,990
we're going to find that people are proud again,

1685
02:12:53,990 --> 02:12:57,140
and what is life about if it's not being proud

1686
02:12:57,140 --> 02:12:58,820
of who you are and what you're doing

1687
02:12:58,820 --> 02:13:03,160
and what's happening to your city, because and I think that

1688
02:13:03,160 --> 02:13:05,150
they're proving that in the local schools

1689
02:13:05,150 --> 02:13:08,330
by taking these programs into local schools

1690
02:13:08,330 --> 02:13:12,000
is making the children excited about keeping things nice.

1691
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:15,440
And perhaps of each building can give a reception for us,

1692
02:13:15,440 --> 02:13:19,344
or have a block captain, and have a reception for us

1693
02:13:19,344 --> 02:13:23,806
so that we can explain to them, and create the enthusiasm

1694
02:13:23,806 --> 02:13:28,544
that's so important to keep the city excited about itself

1695
02:13:28,544 --> 02:13:30,600
and proud of itself,

1696
02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:33,630
I may be totally wrong but to me that's New York,

1697
02:13:33,630 --> 02:13:36,000
and to me that's what we're all about

1698
02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:39,547
in being great Americans and being interested in helping

1699
02:13:39,547 --> 02:13:42,300
our fellow man, I know it's the reason

1700
02:13:42,300 --> 02:13:43,690
I've worked with charity is to try

1701
02:13:43,690 --> 02:13:45,240
to make things a little bit better,

1702
02:13:45,240 --> 02:13:49,120
and that's selfish because I like to see

1703
02:13:49,120 --> 02:13:52,530
things nice and wonderful, and I hope all

1704
02:13:52,530 --> 02:13:54,379
of you feel that way and, am I wrong in

1705
02:13:54,379 --> 02:13:57,498
that feeling, do you think that would be

1706
02:13:57,498 --> 02:14:00,350
the way to go about it?

1707
02:14:00,350 --> 02:14:03,230
- I have another suggestion that we thought about

1708
02:14:03,230 --> 02:14:04,904
last couple of years,

1709
02:14:04,904 --> 02:14:07,193
not just assessing the buildings,

1710
02:14:07,193 --> 02:14:10,320
a $1,000 a building around the perimeter,

1711
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:14,390
but to go in and get each apartment in that building,

1712
02:14:14,390 --> 02:14:17,690
assess them the way they do on the park.

1713
02:14:17,690 --> 02:14:19,293
Now that would really, instead of getting $1,000,

1714
02:14:19,293 --> 02:14:22,570
for instance in our building we have 85 apartments.

1715
02:14:23,809 --> 02:14:26,140
Just think of what the revenue we would get

1716
02:14:26,140 --> 02:14:29,550
if after we get, our idea was I remember

1717
02:14:29,550 --> 02:14:32,350
Laurance Rockefeller when he started this whole program

1718
02:14:32,350 --> 02:14:36,150
his idea was the first two years get 'em interested

1719
02:14:36,150 --> 02:14:38,690
with $1,000 a building.

1720
02:14:38,690 --> 02:14:41,110
After you get 'em interested then you can go

1721
02:14:41,110 --> 02:14:44,140
in and get the needle, and get

1722
02:14:44,140 --> 02:14:46,500
apartment by apartment in that building.

1723
02:14:46,500 --> 02:14:49,660
So that would be unbelievable when you

1724
02:14:49,660 --> 02:14:51,660
think of the number of the buildings up and down.

1725
02:14:51,660 --> 02:14:52,500
- But more than money,

1726
02:14:52,500 --> 02:14:55,370
it's the enthusiasm, it's the excitement,

1727
02:14:55,370 --> 02:14:59,309
it's the team spirit and it's our front yard.

1728
02:14:59,309 --> 02:15:00,492
How many people have a front yard

1729
02:15:00,492 --> 02:15:03,920
and you don't have to pay for mowing, and I go

1730
02:15:03,920 --> 02:15:05,940
through the headaches of it you see in

1731
02:15:05,940 --> 02:15:07,620
the other room I have some roses and

1732
02:15:07,620 --> 02:15:10,600
things and the spraying of that, and the headaches,

1733
02:15:10,600 --> 02:15:13,000
and here we have it all right there for us

1734
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:15,510
because Betsy started it 10 years ago,

1735
02:15:15,510 --> 02:15:18,740
and it has been a miraculous move and I talk

1736
02:15:18,740 --> 02:15:21,080
to people, like a couple of weeks ago in Europe

1737
02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:22,718
and they said I can't believe,

1738
02:15:22,718 --> 02:15:24,920
I went to New York the other day

1739
02:15:24,920 --> 02:15:26,083
and I walked through Central Park

1740
02:15:26,083 --> 02:15:29,450
and what's happened there in the last couple of years

1741
02:15:29,450 --> 02:15:33,510
is absolutely miraculous, how is that coming about?

1742
02:15:33,510 --> 02:15:35,540
And I said well there's a lady named Betsy Barlow

1743
02:15:35,540 --> 02:15:37,610
and there's a few of us who are working,

1744
02:15:37,610 --> 02:15:40,309
trying to make it perfect.

1745
02:15:40,309 --> 02:15:42,500
- [Woman] 50 years older and it's been a co-op.

1746
02:15:44,836 --> 02:15:47,003
(chatter)

1747
02:15:54,663 --> 02:15:57,500
Got to have the space, and now I can't imagine.

1748
02:15:57,500 --> 02:15:58,380
- [Man] You never do without it.

1749
02:15:58,380 --> 02:15:59,650
- [Woman] I cannot imagine.

1750
02:15:59,650 --> 02:16:00,483
- [Woman] I can't either.

1751
02:16:00,483 --> 02:16:01,540
- [Male] We've thought about moving to get

1752
02:16:01,540 --> 02:16:03,930
a bigger apartment, 'cause you can move a few blocks

1753
02:16:03,930 --> 02:16:05,550
and get twice the apartment for the same money.

1754
02:16:05,550 --> 02:16:06,383
- That's true.

1755
02:16:06,383 --> 02:16:08,487
- [Man In Suit] And we say no, I'm gonna open the window

1756
02:16:08,487 --> 02:16:10,130
and there's gonna be somebody else over

1757
02:16:10,130 --> 02:16:13,309
there looking at me, or a wall or something.

1758
02:16:13,309 --> 02:16:15,110
- No it's true it just makes such a difference.

1759
02:16:15,110 --> 02:16:18,270
And all the activities, the number of people that are

1760
02:16:18,270 --> 02:16:20,245
in the park using it for so many,

1761
02:16:20,245 --> 02:16:23,350
painters, and joggers, and bicyclers,

1762
02:16:23,350 --> 02:16:27,980
and people who sail their boats, and ice skating,

1763
02:16:27,980 --> 02:16:29,722
and the roller skating, and the swimming,

1764
02:16:29,722 --> 02:16:33,260
the Lasker pool, I mean there's so much that's beautiful.

1765
02:16:36,933 --> 02:16:39,020
And wonderful, and it's such an outlet for people

1766
02:16:39,020 --> 02:16:41,430
who can't get away from New York,

1767
02:16:41,430 --> 02:16:44,600
all the children's things it's real exciting.

1768
02:16:44,600 --> 02:16:47,219
- [Shorter Woman] Well our children use it constantly.

1769
02:16:47,219 --> 02:16:49,026
They use it everyday.

1770
02:16:49,026 --> 02:16:50,129
- Isn't that nice?

1771
02:16:50,129 --> 02:16:51,190
- [Shorter Woman] Especially these past.

1772
02:16:51,190 --> 02:16:52,889
- And now I got a program

1773
02:16:52,889 --> 02:16:57,020
about all the operas, and the marionette programs

1774
02:16:57,020 --> 02:17:01,139
and the concerts, and it's just an endless feast.

1775
02:17:01,139 --> 02:17:03,473
We're really blessed to have it.

1776
02:17:03,473 --> 02:17:05,778
- [Shorter Woman] We cross-country ski in the park,

1777
02:17:05,778 --> 02:17:09,540
this winter it was really like being at a resort,

1778
02:17:09,540 --> 02:17:12,619
it was just beautiful the first day,

1779
02:17:12,619 --> 02:17:14,929
and actually all weekend, where just

1780
02:17:14,929 --> 02:17:16,680
really like being away.

1781
02:17:17,797 --> 02:17:19,218
- [Man In Suit] Almost like Vermont, right?

1782
02:17:19,218 --> 02:17:21,570
- [Shorter Woman] In some ways I think

1783
02:17:21,570 --> 02:17:22,770
it was better than Vermont.

1784
02:17:22,770 --> 02:17:23,959
- Yeah 'cause you didn't have to drive.

1785
02:17:23,959 --> 02:17:25,160
- [Man In Suit] 'Cause you were 20 minutes away

1786
02:17:25,160 --> 02:17:26,102
from the apartment, that's why.

1787
02:17:26,102 --> 02:17:28,900
- I was across the street.

1788
02:17:31,240 --> 02:17:35,430
- It's true, can you imagine New York without that park?

1789
02:17:35,430 --> 02:17:37,930
- [Man In Suit] I can't but it's amazing that it has

1790
02:17:37,930 --> 02:17:42,209
survived in its size, and it's almost

1791
02:17:42,209 --> 02:17:44,650
constant state of condition all these years

1792
02:17:44,650 --> 02:17:46,000
with all the pressures of New York

1793
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:46,940
to development and everything.

1794
02:17:46,940 --> 02:17:49,929
- But what's amazing is that anyone had the foresight

1795
02:17:49,929 --> 02:17:54,309
that much space available when the city was small,

1796
02:17:54,309 --> 02:17:55,143
way back when.

1797
02:17:55,143 --> 02:17:58,059
That was real foresight,

1798
02:18:00,270 --> 02:18:02,320
it's very beautiful, I love it.

1799
02:18:03,536 --> 02:18:06,020
No, people are very responsive because they to feel joy

1800
02:18:06,020 --> 02:18:09,780
to have the park here so.

1801
02:18:09,780 --> 02:18:11,400
- I don't think we could survive without it

1802
02:18:11,400 --> 02:18:14,260
especially with young children, I think it's really,

1803
02:18:15,353 --> 02:18:16,187
- [Woman In Glasses] Essential.

1804
02:18:16,187 --> 02:18:17,930
- It is essential for us.

1805
02:18:17,930 --> 02:18:19,969
- [Male] Well, our building is just the opposite,

1806
02:18:19,969 --> 02:18:22,543
it's full of old people, real old people.

1807
02:18:22,543 --> 02:18:23,376
- [Woman In Glasses] And they enjoy.

1808
02:18:23,376 --> 02:18:25,340
- [Male] And they use it almost more than the children do,

1809
02:18:25,340 --> 02:18:27,150
every day they go to the park,

1810
02:18:27,150 --> 02:18:29,530
and they use the benches, they walk around,

1811
02:18:29,530 --> 02:18:30,630
and I mean it's almost like

1812
02:18:30,630 --> 02:18:32,709
therapy for these for these people.

1813
02:18:32,709 --> 02:18:35,389
- Well, we walked up to the Conservancy Garden today

1814
02:18:35,389 --> 02:18:37,680
and there were so many people sitting on the benches

1815
02:18:37,680 --> 02:18:40,299
and under the trees because it was nice and cool there.

1816
02:18:40,299 --> 02:18:43,340
You think of people who don't have air conditioning

1817
02:18:43,340 --> 02:18:47,610
and don't and have the joy of going to a place like that

1818
02:18:47,610 --> 02:18:49,320
that is so beautiful with

1819
02:18:49,320 --> 02:18:51,594
its fountain, and flowers, and trees.

1820
02:18:51,594 --> 02:18:54,510
- [Male] That pond there is a very nice pond.

1821
02:18:54,510 --> 02:18:55,869
- Beautiful, beautiful.

1822
02:18:55,869 --> 02:18:57,330
- That's a gorgeous park,

1823
02:18:57,330 --> 02:19:00,320
I was telling Betsy when

1824
02:19:00,320 --> 02:19:01,969
we came in we took my mother-in-law

1825
02:19:01,969 --> 02:19:04,889
there on Mother's Day and she can't believe

1826
02:19:04,889 --> 02:19:06,770
that there's a whole lot that's nice

1827
02:19:06,770 --> 02:19:09,139
about New York, but she loves her garden

1828
02:19:09,139 --> 02:19:12,290
and we took her in there and she was really astounded.

1829
02:19:13,459 --> 02:19:15,320
This is wonderful and beautiful.

1830
02:19:16,760 --> 02:19:19,100
You don't feel like you're in New York anymore.

1831
02:19:19,100 --> 02:19:20,930
- [Woman In Glasses] That's true.

1832
02:19:20,930 --> 02:19:22,190
- And it's maintained beautifully.

1833
02:19:22,190 --> 02:19:23,900
- If you walk out in the middle of the park

1834
02:19:23,900 --> 02:19:25,318
you can easily forget

1835
02:19:25,318 --> 02:19:28,180
that you know that the bus is trying to run over you

1836
02:19:28,180 --> 02:19:29,190
three blocks away.

1837
02:19:29,190 --> 02:19:30,290
- Well, today we went

1838
02:19:30,290 --> 02:19:34,130
from the Great Hill and took a real tour,

1839
02:19:34,130 --> 02:19:37,420
and we went but in most places we couldn't see one building

1840
02:19:38,540 --> 02:19:40,410
it was as though you were in a forest

1841
02:19:40,410 --> 02:19:42,000
in the middle of Vermont.

1842
02:19:43,100 --> 02:19:44,619
- But there's even another sense

1843
02:19:44,619 --> 02:19:46,549
my husband and I used to play tennis

1844
02:19:46,549 --> 02:19:48,594
before the kids were born and to play up

1845
02:19:48,594 --> 02:19:51,920
at the courts at 96th Street and having

1846
02:19:51,920 --> 02:19:54,480
all these trees around you and still see the city

1847
02:19:54,480 --> 02:19:56,200
and think, I'm playing tennis in the middle of the city.

1848
02:19:56,200 --> 02:20:00,858
- And horseback riding, horseback riding and tennis.

1849
02:20:00,858 --> 02:20:04,294
Hi, she's sweet.

1850
02:20:04,294 --> 02:20:05,174
- She's a darling,

1851
02:20:05,174 --> 02:20:07,453
- I bet she likes the park.

1852
02:20:07,453 --> 02:20:09,619
(chatter)

1853
02:20:18,740 --> 02:20:20,260
- [Male] People want to know what happens to the money,

1854
02:20:20,260 --> 02:20:21,470
'cause you get so many requests

1855
02:20:21,470 --> 02:20:22,725
for money in this city, that's the problem.

1856
02:20:22,725 --> 02:20:24,630
You can't turn around with somebody has

1857
02:20:24,630 --> 02:20:25,930
their hand out wanting money.

1858
02:20:25,930 --> 02:20:26,990
- I also there's a bit of

1859
02:20:26,990 --> 02:20:28,510
fear even though the Conservancy is

1860
02:20:28,510 --> 02:20:30,490
privately funded that this really is the

1861
02:20:30,490 --> 02:20:33,260
city and we all know how the city throws money away.

1862
02:20:34,556 --> 02:20:36,200
- That's the nicest thing about the Conservancy

1863
02:20:36,200 --> 02:20:38,780
we use the money, see everything your fear,

1864
02:20:38,780 --> 02:20:40,240
- But that's why it's important

1865
02:20:40,240 --> 02:20:42,710
to show specifically what's been done,

1866
02:20:42,710 --> 02:20:46,430
because if people have the impression that the city's

1867
02:20:46,430 --> 02:20:48,701
somehow involved, they might think

1868
02:20:48,701 --> 02:20:51,190
well this is you know who knows what's gonna happen?

1869
02:20:51,190 --> 02:20:52,023
- Now what's gonna happen?

1870
02:20:52,023 --> 02:20:54,458
I have to go meet my husband.

1871
02:20:54,458 --> 02:20:55,910
so I'll see you all.

1872
02:20:55,910 --> 02:20:57,410
- [Male] Speaking of husbands.

1873
02:20:58,720 --> 02:20:59,840
Nice to meet you.

1874
02:20:59,840 --> 02:21:00,673
- [Shorter Woman] Nice to meet you.

1875
02:21:00,673 --> 02:21:02,220
- Nice to meet you, and you'll let us know

1876
02:21:02,220 --> 02:21:05,150
'cause we would like to talk to the board individually.

1877
02:21:05,150 --> 02:21:06,680
- [Woman In Red] They say the Westside

1878
02:21:06,680 --> 02:21:11,010
should be first the Historical Society.

1879
02:21:11,010 --> 02:21:11,900
- Okay, great.

1880
02:21:11,900 --> 02:21:13,540
- So I'll talk to Bobby, okay?

1881
02:21:13,540 --> 02:21:14,373
- Bye bye.

1882
02:21:14,373 --> 02:21:15,710
- Bye bye, thanks Tony.

1883
02:21:18,251 --> 02:21:19,220
That's great.

1884
02:21:42,250 --> 02:21:43,150
- Look right here.

1885
02:21:45,081 --> 02:21:46,801
Look here, let's hear it come on!

1886
02:21:46,801 --> 02:21:49,640
(cheers)

1887
02:21:49,640 --> 02:21:50,675
One more time!

1888
02:21:50,675 --> 02:21:53,410
(cheers)

1889
02:21:53,410 --> 02:21:54,243
Thank you.

1890
02:21:59,056 --> 02:21:59,980
- [Woman With Camera] Ready?

1891
02:22:00,830 --> 02:22:01,663
One more.

1892
02:22:14,775 --> 02:22:17,430
(upbeat music)

1893
02:22:17,430 --> 02:22:20,340
- [Man] One is please start moving backward,

1894
02:22:20,340 --> 02:22:22,930
we have too many people in front of the starting line.

1895
02:22:22,930 --> 02:22:24,220
- [Woman] A man who needs no introduction

1896
02:22:24,220 --> 02:22:25,530
but certainly worth waiting on,

1897
02:22:25,530 --> 02:22:27,260
ladies and gentlemen to start our race

1898
02:22:27,260 --> 02:22:29,328
the mayor of the city of New York Mayor Ed Koch.

1899
02:22:29,328 --> 02:22:30,965
(cheers)

1900
02:22:30,965 --> 02:22:32,611
- Thank you very much I came up from

1901
02:22:32,611 --> 02:22:36,060
City Hall where we're doing the budget

1902
02:22:36,060 --> 02:22:39,310
because for me this is number one,

1903
02:22:39,310 --> 02:22:42,200
this is the best race that we have all year around.

1904
02:22:42,200 --> 02:22:44,183
I'm not saying that to make you feel good,

1905
02:22:44,183 --> 02:22:45,876
it's just the way it looks.

1906
02:22:45,876 --> 02:22:49,040
The size of it being in Central Park,

1907
02:22:49,040 --> 02:22:51,910
so God bless you, I'm glad to be with you.

1908
02:22:53,738 --> 02:22:55,821
(cheers)

1909
02:23:00,905 --> 02:23:03,600
Take your own time for the run.

1910
02:23:13,606 --> 02:23:15,439
Get set, on your mark.

1911
02:23:16,552 --> 02:23:19,135
(upbeat music)

1912
02:23:25,084 --> 02:23:25,917
Good luck.

1913
02:23:28,488 --> 02:23:30,571
(cheers)

1914
02:23:34,060 --> 02:23:35,566
- [Woman] Okay ladies, I need you to move back already

1915
02:23:35,566 --> 02:23:37,916
because you're getting too excited.

1916
02:23:37,916 --> 02:23:41,360
I need you to move back a little.

1917
02:23:41,360 --> 02:23:43,880
- I gotta get out of here.

1918
02:23:43,880 --> 02:23:46,147
- One more, one more.

1919
02:23:46,147 --> 02:23:48,740
- [Woman] Ladies, I want you to create a center aisle

1920
02:23:48,740 --> 02:23:50,558
so the mayor can walk through the middle.

1921
02:23:50,558 --> 02:23:53,555
- That's all, I got to go.

1922
02:23:53,555 --> 02:23:55,637
(cheers)

1923
02:24:02,063 --> 02:24:04,530
- [Woman] Make room for the mayor.

1924
02:24:04,530 --> 02:24:06,614
(cheers)

1925
02:24:24,050 --> 02:24:26,539
- [Koch] I've never been a love object before.

1926
02:24:26,539 --> 02:24:27,372
- But they love you.

1927
02:24:27,372 --> 02:24:28,212
- [Koch] Of 5,000 women.

1928
02:24:28,212 --> 02:24:29,130
- They love you.

1929
02:24:29,130 --> 02:24:30,317
(cheers)

1930
02:24:30,317 --> 02:24:33,965
- It's me, hi,

1931
02:24:33,965 --> 02:24:35,289
oh hi Peter.

1932
02:24:35,289 --> 02:24:37,372
(cheers)

1933
02:24:45,767 --> 02:24:50,767
Hi.

1934
02:25:12,140 --> 02:25:14,529
- I think what you're seeing here are Mr. Brian's

1935
02:25:14,529 --> 02:25:18,664
renditions of a renovation for the house

1936
02:25:18,664 --> 02:25:21,500
incorporating the concept of this beautiful house

1937
02:25:21,500 --> 02:25:25,730
that we now presently have which is perfectly sited.

1938
02:25:25,730 --> 02:25:28,880
This house the architect that did this knew exactly

1939
02:25:28,880 --> 02:25:31,996
what he was doing, he sited this house so that you can view

1940
02:25:31,996 --> 02:25:35,600
the entire Central Park tennis courts.

1941
02:25:35,600 --> 02:25:37,740
It was known as says that he as the architect

1942
02:25:37,740 --> 02:25:39,850
from the parks department has told us

1943
02:25:39,850 --> 02:25:43,600
who are moving it up five feet closer to the tennis courts

1944
02:25:43,600 --> 02:25:45,770
so that you can sit there and have tennis balls

1945
02:25:45,770 --> 02:25:48,050
bounce off your head, now if we have to

1946
02:25:48,050 --> 02:25:50,128
move the house in order to give a new perspective,

1947
02:25:50,128 --> 02:25:52,430
or to build a new house in order to say

1948
02:25:52,430 --> 02:25:53,930
we've done something different,

1949
02:25:53,930 --> 02:25:56,190
I think that's rather bad planning.

1950
02:25:56,190 --> 02:25:59,070
I think this house is sited just perfect,

1951
02:25:59,070 --> 02:26:02,869
just the way it is, and the architect of 60 years ago

1952
02:26:02,869 --> 02:26:05,160
knew how to site this house.

1953
02:26:05,160 --> 02:26:07,994
- If I were voting to demolish the tennis house

1954
02:26:07,994 --> 02:26:11,530
I would work clear and convincing answers

1955
02:26:11,530 --> 02:26:14,050
to some essential questions.

1956
02:26:14,050 --> 02:26:19,050
One, why is it necessary to tear down the tennis house?

1957
02:26:19,650 --> 02:26:23,790
In today's New York Newsday Parks Commissioner Spain

1958
02:26:23,790 --> 02:26:28,150
is reported as saying the current building is quote,

1959
02:26:28,150 --> 02:26:33,150
"an eyesore, a relic, inefficient, outmoded and out of

1960
02:26:33,280 --> 02:26:35,310
character for Central Park."

1961
02:26:35,310 --> 02:26:38,554
end quote, does this convince you?

1962
02:26:38,554 --> 02:26:42,810
An eyesore and relic for whom?

1963
02:26:42,810 --> 02:26:45,210
1100 tennis players have petitioned

1964
02:26:45,210 --> 02:26:48,010
against the destruction of the house?

1965
02:26:48,010 --> 02:26:51,920
They are demanding proper maintenance of the tennis courts,

1966
02:26:51,920 --> 02:26:55,494
they do not play tennis inside a building,

1967
02:26:55,494 --> 02:27:00,340
even if it was constructed of 18 karat gold.

1968
02:27:01,470 --> 02:27:04,830
Second, how much of the taxpayers money

1969
02:27:04,830 --> 02:27:07,420
will have to be spent for a new building?

1970
02:27:07,420 --> 02:27:10,270
Has a responsible public official

1971
02:27:10,270 --> 02:27:12,830
responded to this essential question?

1972
02:27:14,390 --> 02:27:18,930
Can this board, in good conscience say that a new

1973
02:27:18,930 --> 02:27:21,550
tennis building is in the public interest?

1974
02:27:21,550 --> 02:27:25,350
Both for tennis and non tennis players

1975
02:27:25,350 --> 02:27:29,380
would it not be wiser to the general public

1976
02:27:29,380 --> 02:27:34,380
especially, to repair and to renovate a perfectly sound

1977
02:27:34,424 --> 02:27:37,510
and attractive structure whose picture

1978
02:27:37,510 --> 02:27:39,680
can be viewed right here?

1979
02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:41,777
Thank you for your consideration.

1980
02:27:41,777 --> 02:27:44,096
(applause)

1981
02:27:44,096 --> 02:27:48,107
- Again, let me ask you, that if you are going to repeat

1982
02:27:48,107 --> 02:27:51,560
what other speakers have said

1983
02:27:51,560 --> 02:27:53,220
instead of taking your three minutes,

1984
02:27:53,220 --> 02:27:55,890
and if you just say, I agree with the last speaker,

1985
02:27:55,890 --> 02:27:57,480
it would be helpful to the board.

1986
02:27:57,480 --> 02:27:59,280
- I don't think it's right to use private

1987
02:27:59,280 --> 02:28:02,200
and public funds for unnecessary projects.

1988
02:28:02,200 --> 02:28:04,810
I sincerely hope that you agree with me and with

1989
02:28:04,810 --> 02:28:08,740
a vast majority of tennis players who use the facilities,

1990
02:28:08,740 --> 02:28:11,530
please say no to this wasteful proposal.

1991
02:28:11,530 --> 02:28:15,610
Our borough and its citizens have many glaring, valid needs

1992
02:28:15,610 --> 02:28:18,310
for assistance, we cry out for the homeless,

1993
02:28:18,310 --> 02:28:21,243
make houses for them, we tennis players do not need

1994
02:28:21,243 --> 02:28:24,200
a new tennis house when the present facility

1995
02:28:24,200 --> 02:28:27,440
is adequately filling the needs of the playing public.

1996
02:28:27,440 --> 02:28:29,060
Just like to add one more thing,

1997
02:28:29,060 --> 02:28:30,671
and that is that I personally am

1998
02:28:30,671 --> 02:28:33,096
a product of public education,

1999
02:28:33,096 --> 02:28:35,990
public recreation and park programs,

2000
02:28:35,990 --> 02:28:38,102
and I have a terrible feeling deep inside of me

2001
02:28:38,102 --> 02:28:40,280
that tennis in the park is going to revert

2002
02:28:40,280 --> 02:28:44,060
to an elite situation which tennis has always been.

2003
02:28:44,060 --> 02:28:47,190
We'd like to see the house remain as it is,

2004
02:28:47,190 --> 02:28:49,480
we'd like to see programs to teach

2005
02:28:49,480 --> 02:28:52,967
tennis to kids in the city, to adults in

2006
02:28:52,967 --> 02:28:56,440
the in the city, keep it a public thing,

2007
02:28:56,440 --> 02:29:00,330
don't make it an elite thing, tennis in this country

2008
02:29:00,330 --> 02:29:02,000
needs to be a public thing.

2009
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:03,700
Our country needs that and,

2010
02:29:03,700 --> 02:29:04,533
(bell ringing)

2011
02:29:04,533 --> 02:29:05,418
Thanks an awful lot.

2012
02:29:05,418 --> 02:29:07,810
(applause)

2013
02:29:07,810 --> 02:29:10,840
- Personal statements are fine but if you're really going

2014
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:13,140
to repeat the same arguments that we've heard

2015
02:29:13,140 --> 02:29:16,619
pro or con, let's just save it because we have

2016
02:29:16,619 --> 02:29:21,619
a long agenda tonight, Marian or Mary Ann Schumann,

2017
02:29:23,260 --> 02:29:24,360
you want to speak now?

2018
02:29:35,510 --> 02:29:37,953
- I just want to express my feelings about

2019
02:29:37,953 --> 02:29:40,330
the tennis house I've been here living

2020
02:29:40,330 --> 02:29:44,190
in this community for approximately 32 years.

2021
02:29:44,190 --> 02:29:45,729
I am an activist not only in tennis,

2022
02:29:45,729 --> 02:29:47,947
somehow some of the people here

2023
02:29:47,947 --> 02:29:50,690
that have been speaking to give the impression

2024
02:29:50,690 --> 02:29:52,720
that all we do is play tennis.

2025
02:29:52,720 --> 02:29:54,119
I've been in the peace movement

2026
02:29:54,119 --> 02:29:56,240
I've been activists in political clubs.

2027
02:29:56,240 --> 02:29:58,640
I belong to the club my political club

2028
02:29:58,640 --> 02:30:02,990
for as long a time or longer in this community,

2029
02:30:02,990 --> 02:30:06,940
I've been a worker and a peace person,

2030
02:30:06,940 --> 02:30:11,350
so the tennis has been my one activity

2031
02:30:11,350 --> 02:30:13,840
and it's been very important to me and the park is

2032
02:30:13,840 --> 02:30:17,820
important to me and the park for people is important to me.

2033
02:30:17,820 --> 02:30:22,820
So I ask you all to have consideration and understand that

2034
02:30:22,936 --> 02:30:26,931
this is not something separate from the gentrification

2035
02:30:26,931 --> 02:30:28,840
of the rest of the city.

2036
02:30:28,840 --> 02:30:33,220
It has to do with the gentrification of the whole the park

2037
02:30:33,220 --> 02:30:37,610
is part of our city, and here we do have

2038
02:30:37,610 --> 02:30:40,369
a chance to say something and you do have a chance

2039
02:30:40,369 --> 02:30:41,203
to say something

2040
02:30:41,203 --> 02:30:44,130
because our borough president expressed the desire

2041
02:30:44,130 --> 02:30:48,226
to get your feelings expressed here and he will accept

2042
02:30:48,226 --> 02:30:50,780
those feelings so be aware of that.

2043
02:30:52,380 --> 02:30:55,100
- When I left the tennis courts this morning

2044
02:30:55,100 --> 02:30:58,890
a group of students, I happen to be on sabbatical but,

2045
02:30:58,890 --> 02:31:02,350
these students knew I play tennis and a class came

2046
02:31:02,350 --> 02:31:03,931
to the park to take advantage

2047
02:31:03,931 --> 02:31:08,931
a clinic that was offered for the children.

2048
02:31:08,940 --> 02:31:11,210
It was a heartening sight,

2049
02:31:11,210 --> 02:31:15,460
to see the future citizens and future tennis players

2050
02:31:15,460 --> 02:31:19,020
taking advantage of the courts which should be

2051
02:31:19,020 --> 02:31:23,938
well maintained but with no need for a fancy clubhouse.

2052
02:31:23,938 --> 02:31:27,155
I'm only going to repeat that the previous speakers

2053
02:31:27,155 --> 02:31:31,110
have covered the courts very well.

2054
02:31:32,093 --> 02:31:34,983
- [Man] Put the mic like that.

2055
02:31:34,983 --> 02:31:36,997
- This way, oh.

2056
02:31:36,997 --> 02:31:39,820
(laughter)

2057
02:31:39,820 --> 02:31:41,367
Teacher needs to be taught.

2058
02:31:42,590 --> 02:31:45,590
They covered the courts very well,

2059
02:31:45,590 --> 02:31:49,435
and they made all the points necessary about no need

2060
02:31:49,435 --> 02:31:54,190
for a new clubhouse, however, they did not stress enough

2061
02:31:54,190 --> 02:31:57,840
the need for maintaining the courts,

2062
02:31:57,840 --> 02:31:59,820
that's where we do our playing

2063
02:31:59,820 --> 02:32:03,490
not inside the house, one other point

2064
02:32:03,490 --> 02:32:08,280
I would like to add, above and beyond tennis

2065
02:32:08,280 --> 02:32:10,350
and the courts et cetera,

2066
02:32:10,350 --> 02:32:15,350
that's a constitutional issue, in the way things went.

2067
02:32:16,970 --> 02:32:19,570
A definite suggestion was made that there be

2068
02:32:19,570 --> 02:32:22,453
a feasibility study as to whether

2069
02:32:22,453 --> 02:32:26,240
it's a renovation and rejuvenation, of the course,

2070
02:32:26,240 --> 02:32:28,590
of the house was feasible.

2071
02:32:28,590 --> 02:32:29,748
- [Man] That's it m'am.

2072
02:32:29,748 --> 02:32:31,173
- [Woman] Thank you.

2073
02:32:31,173 --> 02:32:33,506
(applause)

2074
02:32:37,530 --> 02:32:41,000
- BRCK is that right sir?

2075
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:45,629
- I hate to take issue with Commissioner Stern when he said

2076
02:32:45,629 --> 02:32:47,590
that this bill in today's Newsday

2077
02:32:47,590 --> 02:32:50,280
he said that the tennis house is a relic

2078
02:32:50,280 --> 02:32:52,510
of the Walker administration, inefficient,

2079
02:32:52,510 --> 02:32:55,150
outmoded, and out of character for Central Park,

2080
02:32:55,150 --> 02:32:57,010
well, if it is, you fix it.

2081
02:32:57,010 --> 02:32:58,380
You don't tear it down.

2082
02:32:58,380 --> 02:33:00,020
- I cannot understand why,

2083
02:33:00,020 --> 02:33:02,180
well I can understand

2084
02:33:02,180 --> 02:33:05,130
before the problem with the new tennis house before,

2085
02:33:05,130 --> 02:33:06,690
and I tried to understand those who are against it,

2086
02:33:06,690 --> 02:33:09,150
was that the site was in the wrong place,

2087
02:33:09,150 --> 02:33:12,210
now the site has been changed to where everyone

2088
02:33:12,210 --> 02:33:15,180
seemed to want it, and I can't understand members

2089
02:33:15,180 --> 02:33:18,650
of community board, why there are objections

2090
02:33:18,650 --> 02:33:22,930
to having an attractive, pleasant tennis house,

2091
02:33:22,930 --> 02:33:27,190
and why we have to have this ugly block house,

2092
02:33:27,190 --> 02:33:30,530
cement block house that was done by Jimmy Walker,

2093
02:33:30,530 --> 02:33:33,140
that has no redeeming value of any kind?

2094
02:33:33,140 --> 02:33:34,780
And if you don't believe it just come on

2095
02:33:34,780 --> 02:33:37,890
over and see it it's just an awful, awful place.

2096
02:33:37,890 --> 02:33:42,630
So I also would like to see the courts kept well and so on.

2097
02:33:42,630 --> 02:33:44,810
I am concerned about there being shut down,

2098
02:33:44,810 --> 02:33:46,880
but I can understand why we're opposed

2099
02:33:46,880 --> 02:33:49,619
to having a new tennis court, tennis facility?

2100
02:33:49,619 --> 02:33:53,630
- I tried to explain briefly, because you've I'm sure

2101
02:33:54,502 --> 02:33:55,970
you've heard a lot about this from a lot of people

2102
02:33:55,970 --> 02:33:58,787
why we think the new building

2103
02:33:58,787 --> 02:34:02,070
is an enormous improvement over the old building.

2104
02:34:02,070 --> 02:34:04,232
And I think the drawings have shown,

2105
02:34:04,232 --> 02:34:07,510
make that point very clearly.

2106
02:34:07,510 --> 02:34:10,680
We want a tennis house for the future,

2107
02:34:10,680 --> 02:34:13,200
we want a tennis house that's accessible,

2108
02:34:13,200 --> 02:34:14,830
we want a tennis house with

2109
02:34:14,830 --> 02:34:18,450
equal opportunities for the sexes, we want a tennis house

2110
02:34:18,450 --> 02:34:21,040
where people can convene,

2111
02:34:21,040 --> 02:34:23,520
and meet and open, and you know an area,

2112
02:34:24,530 --> 02:34:25,610
in ample areas instead of being

2113
02:34:25,610 --> 02:34:28,130
relegated to the locker rooms to do that,

2114
02:34:28,130 --> 02:34:30,520
or the porch, and that we want something

2115
02:34:30,520 --> 02:34:32,640
that will be an adornment and a thing of beauty

2116
02:34:32,640 --> 02:34:37,470
in Central Park rather than a relic of the 1930s,

2117
02:34:37,470 --> 02:34:41,540
the early 1930s, which is it is neither Olmsted nor Moses

2118
02:34:41,540 --> 02:34:44,730
it is a period which is not noted for any distinction

2119
02:34:44,730 --> 02:34:47,300
in park design, and certainly this build.

2120
02:34:47,300 --> 02:34:50,200
Although, I'm sure it served its purposes at the time

2121
02:34:50,200 --> 02:34:53,958
and provided many happy hours for many people,

2122
02:34:53,958 --> 02:34:57,676
and deserves an honorable interment.

2123
02:34:57,676 --> 02:35:01,070
The new replacement will provide even more joy

2124
02:35:01,070 --> 02:35:03,770
for more people for a longer period of time,

2125
02:35:03,770 --> 02:35:05,960
and I predict that if it is built,

2126
02:35:05,960 --> 02:35:07,270
and I very much hope it's built,

2127
02:35:07,270 --> 02:35:10,780
and I urge this board to approve it that even the people

2128
02:35:10,780 --> 02:35:13,400
who are opposed to it will come to use it,

2129
02:35:13,400 --> 02:35:16,860
and enjoy it in the years to come,

2130
02:35:16,860 --> 02:35:20,770
will even be reconciled to this enormous

2131
02:35:20,770 --> 02:35:22,110
improvement for the park.

2132
02:35:22,110 --> 02:35:25,340
- What amount of public funds do you anticipate

2133
02:35:25,340 --> 02:35:30,340
will be put into the budget to supplement the private funds?

2134
02:35:30,470 --> 02:35:33,320
What proportion and what sum specifically?

2135
02:35:33,320 --> 02:35:34,491
- No one can be certain

2136
02:35:34,491 --> 02:35:38,108
of the exact cost of any public improvement

2137
02:35:38,108 --> 02:35:42,213
until bids are offered and bids are received

2138
02:35:42,213 --> 02:35:46,180
and then you you're in with a fairly close parameter.

2139
02:35:46,180 --> 02:35:48,160
I would anticipate roughly

2140
02:35:51,625 --> 02:35:54,590
a 50/50 sharing of the course

2141
02:35:54,590 --> 02:35:57,420
between the private sector and city government.

2142
02:35:58,917 --> 02:36:02,670
- No matter what the cost is at this point we have been told

2143
02:36:02,670 --> 02:36:06,050
at the Conservancy most recently is that

2144
02:36:06,050 --> 02:36:10,910
there is 1.5 million dollars in private funds.

2145
02:36:10,910 --> 02:36:14,619
- There is a private gift which is projected for this

2146
02:36:14,619 --> 02:36:17,170
of 2 million dollars, that is an

2147
02:36:17,170 --> 02:36:20,661
enormous amount of money to put into a public facility

2148
02:36:20,661 --> 02:36:23,450
if it turns out to cost more

2149
02:36:23,450 --> 02:36:25,160
I'm sure they'll be an undertaking

2150
02:36:25,160 --> 02:36:28,630
to raise more, it depends for example,

2151
02:36:28,630 --> 02:36:30,400
on what the additional cost, we know

2152
02:36:30,400 --> 02:36:33,560
what it turns out to be the cause of the additional costs.

2153
02:36:33,560 --> 02:36:37,119
But can I promise, first was that such excesses

2154
02:36:37,119 --> 02:36:40,590
be met by private funds and not by public money?

2155
02:36:40,590 --> 02:36:45,590
No I can't, and I would be nutty if I did

2156
02:36:46,200 --> 02:36:49,690
unless it were my money that I was undertaking to spend.

2157
02:36:50,560 --> 02:36:53,530
Okay, well we think the new building nestled into the slope

2158
02:36:53,530 --> 02:36:56,340
as it is is much more congenial,

2159
02:36:56,340 --> 02:36:59,130
to the old building which just

2160
02:36:59,130 --> 02:37:02,320
stands up straight and stark out of the environment

2161
02:37:02,320 --> 02:37:05,130
and was designed without respect to it,

2162
02:37:05,130 --> 02:37:07,040
- [Man] You wish to say something that has not yet

2163
02:37:07,040 --> 02:37:10,670
been said in this argument, you wish to add something?

2164
02:37:10,670 --> 02:37:11,860
- [Woman With White Purse] More forcefully.

2165
02:37:11,860 --> 02:37:13,155
- [Members] Oh come on.

2166
02:37:13,155 --> 02:37:16,369
- [Man] Well, could I suggest that the force is not needed,

2167
02:37:16,369 --> 02:37:17,430
repetition isn't really needed.

2168
02:37:17,430 --> 02:37:22,430
- Well the thing is this new building has received a lot of

2169
02:37:24,090 --> 02:37:28,220
negative talking rather than positive,

2170
02:37:28,220 --> 02:37:30,150
the place is horrible,

2171
02:37:30,150 --> 02:37:33,010
it's a dungeon inside, the tent,

2172
02:37:33,010 --> 02:37:36,250
the surface of the courts are beautiful,

2173
02:37:36,250 --> 02:37:40,112
you have 31 hard true tennis courts out there,

2174
02:37:40,112 --> 02:37:42,269
36, they are beautiful.

2175
02:37:42,269 --> 02:37:44,894
(talking)

2176
02:37:44,894 --> 02:37:47,530
whatever, they're 30 some odd hard true tennis courts,

2177
02:37:47,530 --> 02:37:49,730
they're beautiful, on the East River,

2178
02:37:50,585 --> 02:37:52,970
and tennis parks, private facilities have

2179
02:37:52,970 --> 02:37:54,255
as beautiful tennis courts as you have

2180
02:37:54,255 --> 02:37:57,420
right here in Central Park, gorgeous.

2181
02:37:57,420 --> 02:38:00,065
The tennis house is atrocious, atrocious,

2182
02:38:00,065 --> 02:38:02,360
the locker rooms are dungeons,

2183
02:38:02,360 --> 02:38:03,507
I wouldn't take a shower there, I'd be afraid

2184
02:38:03,507 --> 02:38:06,234
I'd catch some kind of a disease.

2185
02:38:06,234 --> 02:38:07,067
(groans)

2186
02:38:07,067 --> 02:38:08,740
The toilets are terrible.

2187
02:38:08,740 --> 02:38:10,380
The place is horrible.

2188
02:38:10,380 --> 02:38:12,690
When you sit on the benches outside

2189
02:38:12,690 --> 02:38:15,460
the railing in front has been pushed back

2190
02:38:15,460 --> 02:38:18,490
for 50 years, so it's gonna fall over pretty soon.

2191
02:38:18,490 --> 02:38:19,760
The whole building's gonna fall apart,

2192
02:38:19,760 --> 02:38:20,593
- [Woman] Fix it.

2193
02:38:20,593 --> 02:38:21,740
- It's been used, and used well.

2194
02:38:21,740 --> 02:38:24,221
- [Man] You know you're not being very nice, nobody did that

2195
02:38:24,221 --> 02:38:27,650
when the other side spoke, and let's be polite,

2196
02:38:27,650 --> 02:38:28,710
and let's be fair.

2197
02:38:29,630 --> 02:38:32,619
- The building has been used and used well

2198
02:38:32,619 --> 02:38:35,660
God bless it, put something else up now.

2199
02:38:35,660 --> 02:38:36,880
How do you know

2200
02:38:36,880 --> 02:38:39,050
what it's gonna cost to take that place apart?

2201
02:38:39,050 --> 02:38:41,200
And it's not even worth taking apart,

2202
02:38:41,200 --> 02:38:44,900
you'll enjoy a new facility, there's money for it,

2203
02:38:44,900 --> 02:38:47,490
it's not gonna take away anything from anybody else,

2204
02:38:47,490 --> 02:38:50,065
you have gorgeous tennis courts out there,

2205
02:38:50,065 --> 02:38:52,590
why shouldn't we here in New York City,

2206
02:38:52,590 --> 02:38:55,070
why shouldn't we have a nice place to play tennis,

2207
02:38:55,070 --> 02:38:56,700
why begrudge yourself?

2208
02:38:56,700 --> 02:38:59,393
We'll all have such a good time.

2209
02:39:00,896 --> 02:39:03,185
(applause)

2210
02:39:03,185 --> 02:39:05,351
(talking)

2211
02:39:12,333 --> 02:39:14,315
- If they can use it there are many, many

2212
02:39:14,315 --> 02:39:18,190
diamonds that they play baseball, softball,

2213
02:39:18,190 --> 02:39:21,970
the little leagues and the baseball and softball all timers,

2214
02:39:21,970 --> 02:39:25,930
also that are very pretty bad conditions there,

2215
02:39:25,930 --> 02:39:28,060
that money should be allocated for

2216
02:39:28,060 --> 02:39:31,325
those diamonds in case, if they don't use it.

2217
02:39:31,325 --> 02:39:33,575
(applause)

2218
02:39:38,154 --> 02:39:40,321
(chatter)

2219
02:40:38,527 --> 02:40:41,110
(upbeat music)

2220
02:40:45,216 --> 02:40:47,299
(cheers)

2221
02:40:59,558 --> 02:41:03,586
- [MC] And here comes the the Serene Motorcycle Club.

2222
02:41:03,586 --> 02:41:05,669
(cheers)

2223
02:41:08,252 --> 02:41:10,757
We're getting ready to kick off

2224
02:41:10,757 --> 02:41:15,757
the 1988 Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade!

2225
02:41:16,530 --> 02:41:18,613
(cheers)

2226
02:41:20,384 --> 02:41:22,967

- Ready Johnny, Johnny!

2251
02:48:46,010 --> 02:48:46,843
- [Johnny] Yes.

2252
02:48:46,843 --> 02:48:47,676
- Great.

2253
02:48:47,676 --> 02:48:48,509
- Here we go.

2254

(talking)

2255
02:48:51,343 --> 02:48:52,693
Ready to shoot, here we go.

2256
02:48:53,909 --> 02:48:57,100
- Celine, and Joey, be very sincere

2257
02:48:57,100 --> 02:48:59,720
and real with those lines about thank you and stuff.

2258
02:48:59,720 --> 02:49:01,480
- [Johnny] Guys and let's keep these lights clear.

2259
02:49:01,480 --> 02:49:03,230
- Jenny why are you hitting Celine?

2260
02:49:04,576 --> 02:49:06,243
Why did you hit him?

2261
02:49:07,437 --> 02:49:08,940
Be nice to him, he's a prince.

2262
02:49:08,940 --> 02:49:11,280
Before you get up you have to say Zoe,

2263
02:49:11,280 --> 02:49:12,700
and she gets up with you.

2264
02:49:14,350 --> 02:49:15,680
- [Woman] Spread out that way.

2265
02:49:16,910 --> 02:49:18,570
push her.

2266
02:49:18,570 --> 02:49:21,220
Wake up, look forward, beep, beep!

2267
02:49:21,220 --> 02:49:23,190
Look forward, get in the line,

2268
02:49:23,190 --> 02:49:25,250
that's perfect now stay where you are

2269
02:49:25,250 --> 02:49:26,490
that's what you have to get to, okay?

2270
02:49:26,490 --> 02:49:29,840
- Be that close to the person next to you, okay kids?

2271
02:49:29,840 --> 02:49:32,137
Very, very good, I like you, I like to be

2272
02:49:32,137 --> 02:49:34,800
on a cast with dancers.

2273
02:49:34,800 --> 02:49:37,200
No, you can cut them more, go more to the right.

2274
02:49:38,730 --> 02:49:41,754
- [PA] Speed, 39 Baker take three, camera A only.

2275
02:49:41,754 --> 02:49:42,891
- [Man] Playback.

2276
02:49:42,891 --> 02:49:45,474
(upbeat music)

2277
02:50:09,780 --> 02:50:13,448
- Oh thank you Lily, now I am really living.

2278
02:50:16,101 --> 02:50:18,135
Zoe come, I would like to show you.

2279
02:50:18,135 --> 02:50:19,690
- [Coppola] Cut.

2280
02:50:19,690 --> 02:50:21,110
Kids that was good.

2281
02:50:21,110 --> 02:50:22,864
- [Prince] Was it perfect?

2282
02:50:22,864 --> 02:50:26,130
- Well, what you could do for me is after you say

2283
02:50:26,130 --> 02:50:28,517

02:50:28,517 --> 02:50:32,350
you're still talking like it's more, like

2285
02:50:32,350 --> 02:50:35,290

we still see the tale of the little girls going away?

2289
02:50:49,595 --> 02:50:51,424
Do you think that the girls can stretch

2290
02:50:51,424 --> 02:50:53,780
out their exit so it lasts longer?

02:50:58,377 --> 02:51:00,960

02:51:08,700 --> 02:51:12,650
and not have enough time to get it, we lost all the morning.

2294
02:51:14,073 --> 02:51:17,476
We didn't get any shots at all, very frustrating day though.
