Haverhill's first Pride Parade kicks off the Fifth Annual June Art Walk this Saturday.Art Walk runs in downtown Haverhill on Washington and Wingate Streets, between Washington Square and Railroad Square. As WHAV has reported, it will be proceeded by the annual Pride Flag raising at Haverhill City Hall at 12:30 p.m. The Pride Parade will then form across the street at the Grand Army of the Republic Park and step off at 1:30 p.m., down Bailey Boulevard to Emerson Street and then into Washington Square.Downtown Events Coordinator Hailey Pearson, a recent guest on WHAV's “Win For Breakfast” program, discussed various artists and performers who are part of this year's Art Walk.“We are really excited to be incorporating the first Pride Parade to kick off Art Walk this year. So, it has been about a year in the making from the time that we starting talking about this idea of bringing in a parade and it has just been an incredible experience to witness the support from the community, the people who came together to really make this happen.”The Haverhill Art Walk, which is a project of Creative Haverhill, is bigger than ever, Pearson said. The free event will run Saturday, June 7, from 2-6 p.m., rain or shine.“We're going to have over a dozen businesses participating in activities so everything from live music to family-friendly interactive activities in both Railroad Square, the Columbia Park area to Washington Square. So those squares bookend the activities,” Pearson said.She added a Pride Resource Fair will be set up at the top of Wingate Street.“We've got our Alley Art Market in the alleyways along Washington Street. We've got Punctuate4. That's a theater group that is hosting the “Abolitionist's Refrain.” So that's a theater performance in the empty space at 90 Washington St. We really love utilizing these vacant storefronts to show people what could be and invite people to step into these spaces that are transformed for the weekend,” Pearson added.Performances of the Abolitionist's Refrain are at 3 and 5 p.m. The play, written by Michael Cormier, features Haverhill native John Greenleaf Whittier as he comes to terms with what freeing of slaves following the Civil War means to a divided nation and the new challenges the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution brings. The River Bards, a local group of poets, will be reading the works of Whittier. Yankee Clipper Tours will offer cruises down the Merrimack River and the staff from the Buttonwoods Museum will lead a “Pentucket on the Merrimack walking tour.Live music performers include Fake Leather Jacket, Liz Bills and The Change and The Party Band. The Irise Dance Program from Lawrence will present a dynamic performance that includes an interactive drumming session.Family-friendly art projects include masking making, rock painting and zine making.The Museum of Printing is offering hands-on screen printing and the Haverhill Studio will offer complimentary portraits.Pearson said there is still a need for volunteers.

If you were ever lucky enough to catch one of the late Dave Van Ronk's shows, you almost certainly heard “Green Rocky Road,” which became sort of his theme song over the years.He'd perform it in a variety of ways, sometimes at a lively clip, a tribute to its roots as a children's play party tune. Other times it would be slow and meditative, making you wonder if you were missing some secret tucked away in those seemingly simple lyrics.Dave's tune inspired an eclectic slew of followers, ranging from Peter, Paul and Mary (as “Rocky Road” in 1963), Tim Hardin (1966) and Fred Neil (1967) to Ricky Nelson (as “Promenade in Green” in 1967), Wendy Waldman (1975) and Van Morrison (2023).The Song's StoryVan Ronk remembered first hearing the song from beat poet Bob Kaufman who was hanging out in Greenwich Village's Gaslight Cafe in the early 1960s. Kaufman learned it as a child when he was growing up in New Orleans. It was a popular African American children's game song throughout the South, Kaufman said. In fact, the song is among those featured on a 1950 Folkways album called Ring Games: Line Games and Play Party Songs of Alabama, collected from the children of Lilly's Chapel School in York, Alabama, recorded by Harold Courlander.Of the game associated with the song, the album notes said, “The children form a circle with the leader in the center. The group sings ‘Green, green' and the leader answers, ‘Rocky road,' skipping around the ring. As the chorus is sung the leader is deciding which person to choose. As he picks one, the group sings the first line of the verse, naming the child selected. The leader brings his choice to the center and kisses her…” (Hence, “Tell me who you love, tell me who you love.”)Enter Len ChandlerBut the song as we know it today was largely composed by Len Chandler, who was, as writer Elijah Wald notes, “one of the most musically sophisticated writers on the Village folk scene. Chandler had been a classical oboe player in Akron, Ohio, and Dave recalled Variety referring to him as ‘musician turned folksinger.'”As Chandler always told it, Van Ronk was the first person to bring him down to Washington Square and introduce him around, and he shortly became the house musician at the Gaslight Cafe. Chandler came up with a new melody for the tune, Dave learned it from him, recorded it in 1963 and, for the rest of his life, it became one of the most enduring and requested songs in Dave's repertoire.Remembering KaufmanBut the real hero of this tale is Bob Kaufman, the poet who played a key role in preserving the song.As composer/singer Richard A. Séguin recently commented in an online article, “Bob (Robert Garnell) Kaufman (1925-1986) once famously said ‘I want to be anonymous. My ambition is to be completely forgotten.' I hope he will forgive me for disregarding his wishes, but he is too important an artist to forget.”Choosing San Francisco for his home, Kaufman founded and edited Beatitude poetry magazine and many argue that it was he — rather than the often-credited newspaper columnist Herb Caen — who actually coined the term “beatnik.”Wikipedia quotes writer Raymond Foye (from an introduction to a Kaufman poetry volume) as observing that Kaufman's life was filled with a great deal of suffering. In San Francisco, for instance, he was the target of beatings and harassment by the city police, while his years living in New York were filled with poverty, addiction and imprisonment. Kaufman often incurred the wrath of police simply for reciting his poetry aloud in public; it is said that in 1959 alone, he was arrested 39 times by the San Francisco cops on disorderly charges.In 1963, he was arrested for walking on the grass of Washington Square Park. He was incarcerated on Rikers Island, then sent as a “behavioral problem” to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital.At Bellevue, Séguin notes, he “underwent electro-shock treatments that greatly affected his already bleak outlook on society.” After John F. Kennedy's assassination, Kaufman, a Buddhist, took a vow of silence that lasted 10 years.“Even though Bob Kaufman's life was filled with a great deal of suffering,” Séguin concludes, “many will remember him for his wonderful idea that became the musical butterfly we know as ‘Green Rocky Road.'” This is a public episode.

Beginning in July the frequency of bus service between Haverhill, Lawrence, Methuen and Lowell will increase during the week.Merrimack Valley Transit, or MeVA Administrator Noah S. Berger, a recent guest on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast program,” said beginning Monday, July 7, the bus will run every 20 minutes. Currently, service is provided every 30 minutes to Methuen, Lawrence and Lowell from its hub in Washington Square, Haverhill. Berger said he is excited for the service improvement.“Frequency makes all the difference. You don't have to fumble through a schedule to figure out when the next bus is. You just literally go out to where the bus is and know that at the very worst you will have to wait 19 minutes, but most of time it will probably be five or 10 minutes,” Berger said.As reported by WHAV in December 2024, the increased service is made possible through at $1.2 million “connectivity” grant the transit authority received from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. The bus, which originates as Route 1 in Haverhill, makes one more stop at Lowell and River Streets and then four stops in Methuen before arriving at the McGovern Transportation Center in Lawrence 45 minutes later. The bus then becomes Route 24 and proceeds to Lowell which takes about 40 minutes. It then makes the return trip.“What that does is tie the four gateway cities of Haverhill, Methuen, Lawrence and Lowell together with really robust service so we couldn't be more excited,” Berger added.Berger said Route 24 has the second highest ridership of all the routes in the system.Berger also said four new “low floor” 12-passenger vans will go into service this month as part of MeVa's on-demand service. The low floor design allows those who use mobility devices such as wheelchairs and scooters to roll right onto the van rather than having to negotiate steps. The design accommodates strollers as well. Five more vans will be added to the fleet in July allowing the transit authority to remove older vans from service. Then an additional six will arrive next year.Finally, Berger asked for the public's help in finding a new location for MeVa's bus hub. He pointed out Haverhill's hub in Washington Square has never worked well because the site is too small to accommodate buses and passengers comfortably.Berger said he is working with the city to find a location, and that two possibilities are Bailey Boulevard near the Haverhill Police Station and the Granite Street garage the transit authority already owns.“It's got to be a central location. It has got to have enough space for the buses and enough space to have that welcoming environment for passengers.” Berger said.Berger said that while there is no timeframe associated with the hub relocation, he believes with the various redevelopment projects going on in downtown Haverhill, the time is ripe for finding a better, more welcoming location for a new central bus depot.Support the show
Biographical Bytes from Bala: Laurel Hill West Stories #044 for mid-May, 2025 John W. “Jack” Merriam made his fortune in real estate development – Oxford Valley Mall, Cedarbrook Apartment Complex, and many others. Among his acquisitions was the Curtis Publishing Building on Washington Square, with its magnificent Maxfield Parrish / Louis Comfort Tiffany glass mosaic in the lobby. Another was Maybrook Castle next to the Wynnewood Train Station on the Main Line. He was namesake for the Merriam Theater on South Broad Street, and he left tens of millions of dollars in support of local art institutions. Yet despite his massive wealth Jack Merriam and his wives are interred under a simple flat bronze marker at Laurel Hill West.

David Dylan Thomas explores what would happen if enslaved people in Washington Square rose from the dead in the upcoming zombie film, White Meat
Although the writer Henry James (1843-1916) was born in New York City's Washington Square, he spent most of his adulthood in Europe, where he wrote such masterpieces as The Portrait of a Lady, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl. Late in life, he returned to New York after a thirty-three year absence to find the city much transformed, as skyscrapers and grand public buildings - museums and libraries and opera houses - now dominated the scene. In this episode, Jacke reads and comments upon the opening of James's 1908 story "The Jolly Corner," in which a man revisits his childhood home in New York after a thirty-three year absence and finds himself chasing memories, ghosts, and other figments of his imagination.

Chapter 1 What's Washington Square by Henry James"Washington Square" is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1880. It tells the story of Catherine Sloper, a wealthy but socially awkward young woman living in New York City during the 19th century. The narrative explores her relationship with her domineering father, Dr. Austin Sloper, who disapproves of her suitor, Morris Townsend, seeing him as a fortune hunter. The novel delves into themes of love, loss, and the constraints of society. Catherine's struggle for autonomy, compounded by her father's skepticism and her own insecurities, positions the novel as a study of character and moral complexity. James' nuanced prose captures the subtleties of personal relationships against the backdrop of New York's upper-class society, making it a compelling exploration of social norms and individual desires.Chapter 2 Washington Square by Henry James Summary"Washington Square" is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1880. The story is set in New York City during the early 19th century and revolves around the life of Catherine Sloper, a young woman living in a wealthy but emotionally cold household.Catherine is the daughter of Dr. Austin Sloper, a well-respected but stern physician, and his deceased wife, who was a glamorous socialite. Catherine is described as plain and socially awkward, in stark contrast to the vibrant world that her mother once inhabited. Following her mother's death, Dr. Sloper becomes increasingly critical and dismissive of Catherine, believing that she lacks the charm and capabilities to attract a suitable husband.As the story unfolds, Catherine meets and falls in love with Morris Townsend, a charming and attractive young man who appears to be drawn to her wealth rather than her personality. Despite her father's disapproval of Morris—whom he considers a gold digger—Catherine is determined to pursue the romance. Dr. Sloper tries to dissuade Catherine from the relationship, but she is resolute in her feelings.The novel explores themes of love, money, familial obligation, and social class. It showcases James's keen observation of social dynamics and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through Catherine's struggles with her father and her own emotions. As the plot progresses, Morris's true intentions become dubious, and his reluctance to commit to Catherine as her fortune comes into question. This leads to a push-and-pull dynamic between love and financial security. Ultimately, Dr. Sloper's stern, oppressive nature clashes with Catherine's desire for independence and happiness.The novel concludes ambiguously, with Catherine's decision to stand firm in her beliefs, leaving the reader to ponder her future and the sacrifices she has made for love and self-identity. "Washington Square" is often regarded as a profound character study, examining the intersections of romance, ambition, and the constraints imposed by society and family.Chapter 3 Washington Square AuthorHenry James, an American-British author, is well-known for his psychological realism and intricate narratives that explore the consciousness of his characters. He was born on April 15, 1843, in New York City and passed away on February 28, 1916, in London, England. Washington Square"Washington Square" is one of Henry James's most celebrated works, published in 1880. The novel centers around the life of Catherine Sloper, a young woman in New York City who struggles against her father's overwhelming authority and societal expectations as she seeks love and independence. Other Notable WorksHenry James is known for many significant works. Some of his most outstanding titles include:The Portrait of a Lady (1881) This is considered one of his masterpieces, focusing on the character Isabel Archer and her quest for personal freedom and identity.The Turn of the Screw

This was of course The Jazz Singer which was released October 6, 1927.Dresser died in 1906 so had no idea his work would be so honored. In the film it is sung briefly (and ostensibly) by the teenage Robert Gordon, although it is dubbed by an unknown singer.Since its first publication at New York in 1905, "My Gal Sal" has been republished a number of times including around 1960, and has also been fairly widely recorded. >>In 1942, a musical film based on Paul Dresser's life called My Gal Sal was released.

In the heart of Manhattan, at 2329 Washington Place, near Washington Square, on the New York University (NYU) campus, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, bustling with young immigrant workers—mostly women—caught fire. The factory occupied the top floors of the Asch Building, and when the fire erupted, it was swift and merciless. Flames engulfed the cramped workrooms, fed by piles of fabric and paper patterns. With exits locked to prevent theft and keep workers at their stations, escape routes were limited to a few inadequate fire escapes and elevators that soon failed as the fire spread. The result was horrifying: 146 workers perished, either consumed by flames or plunging to their deaths in a desperate attempt to escape.

Washington Square is a short novel by Henry James. Originally published in 1880 as a serial in Cornhill Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine, it is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, domineering father.The book is often compared to Jane Austen's work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. James was hardly a great admirer of Jane Austen, so he might not have regarded the comparison as flattering. In fact, James was not a great fan of Washington Square itself. He tried to read it over for inclusion in the New York Edition of his fiction (1907-1909) but found that he couldn't, and the novel was not included. Other readers, though, have sufficiently enjoyed the book to make it one of the more popular works of the Jamesian canon.

At the book's heart lies the title sequence, a profound meditation on a father's dying, the reverberations of which echo throughout in poems that interrogate inheritance and legacy, illness and justice, accounts of what is lost and what, if anything, can be retrieved. Laird is a poet capable of heading off in any and every direction, where layers of association transport us from a clifftop in County Cork to the library steps in New York's Washington Square, from a face-off between Freud and Michelangelo's Moses to one between the poet and a squirrel in a Kilburn garden. There is conflation and conflagration, rage and fire, neither of which are seen as necessarily destructive. But there is great tenderness, too, a fondness for what grows between the cracks, especially those glimpses into the unadulterated world of childhood, before the knowledge or accumulation of loss, where everything is still at stake and infinite, 'the darkness under the cattle grid'.Nick Laird was born in County Tyrone in 1975. A poet, novelist, screenwriter, critic and former lawyer, his awards include the Betty Trask Prize, the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award and a Guggenheim fellowship.

This has been a Pride Month like no other. The massive outdoor event at the White House with transgender toplessness, the open flaunting of sexuality and nudity on streets across America, and the wanton brazenness taking place tells us it's only going to get worse. For example- ----Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine -a man who claims to be a woman- has extended the month of Pride -June- into the Summer of Pride. Jim provided audio from the secretary.----The latest inappropriate act turned Yosemite National Park, one of the dearest national monuments, into a debauched party to push a corrupt sexual agenda. The controversy ensued when a drag queen posted a video showing a June 8th pride parade conducted by staffers of the National Park Service.----Ramstein Air Base in Germany hosted a pride themed story hour for children in the library in celebration of Pride Month. The celebration called -Reading With Pride- was held on June 15, with the official Facebook page of the base posting photos of the event. ----Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has declared the state a sanctuary for parents of trans kid seeking to evade sex-change bans in other states.----Naked men on bicycles in Seattle. The naked bike ride in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, last weekend. Bud light proudly sponsored the city pride parade in Toronto and even featured a float with a drag queen and there were multiple reports of fully nude parade participants. In New York City, lesbians shed their clothing and danced nude in a giant fountain in the middle of Washington Square. All of these are promoted as -family friendly- events.

Tonight, we'll rebroadcast the opening to “Washington Square”, written by Henry James and published in 1880. This episode originally aired on November 18, 2020. The novel recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, unemotional father. The plot of the novel is based upon a true story told to James by his close friend, a British actress. The book is often compared with Jane Austen's work (who of course, wrote “Pride and Prejudice”) for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. This is the second time Henry James is featured on Snoozecast. You can find “The Turn of the Screw” back in October 2019. — read by V — Support us: Listen ad-free on Patreon Get Snoozecast merch like cozy sweatshirts and accessories Learn more about your ad choices.
