You don't need me since I'm don't have data since I'm just using my phone. I might see you come home tomorrow. Right. Yeah, this is how he didn't come with me. Yeah, I know I saw him working with your. Yeah. Okay. Bye. Bye bye. I'm taking in historic buildings here. It's so beautiful. And the regulations are so meaningful here. Okay. So welcome to this hearing of the local historic district commission. We are conducting this meeting by a remote means, but members of the public who wish to access the meeting may do so via zoom or by telephone. In person, the attendance of the members of the public will not be permitted, but every effort will be made to ensure that the public and adequate may access the proceedings in real time. Biotechnological means a hyperlink to the hearing will be posted on the town's online calendar. So today's hearing is going to begin with a review of a proposal that we received from see where is this from. From see where is this from Beth Eagleston. And Nate, do you want to talk about that proposal? Do we have anybody here from. Yeah, if you just if it's a request to modify the garage with a new roofline material. You know, future solar installation new windows door and possibly some siding. So if there's someone here for the application that could raise their hand and it will move you over to a panelist. So, Beth Eagleston and her husband, Alan, thank guys and are here. Great. Thank you for coming Beth and Alan. We're ready to talk about your project. So would you like to talk to us about it? Sure. So we have a garage in our backyard that is no longer attached to the driveway. The garage was built in the 2000s. And we can get into the details of why the driveway is no longer attached, but it has to do with someone not following the permit that they had before. The garage does not match the house in terms of its roofline and character. And we would like to change the roofline so it is more in line with the architecture of our house and the neighborhood to make it more visually appealing to us and to the people walking on the street. And it will remain the same size. We will make it the front will be similar to parents but change the overhead garage door to a casement window for casement windows, keep the front door and have a sitting area in the front and maintain storage in the back. I think we have some pictures don't we Nate. Yeah, I was just getting them ready to share the screen for everyone. This is visible. Here's the existing garage. It's just another image from the, from the driveway. So it is visible from the street and the plans are to, you know, here's existing roofline the dotted line is to raise the roof. Change the door and then put in new windows. And then, you know, obviously fix the siding. However, that's if it's necessary. This is just a little more detail framing plan. Is the plan to keep the same siding that you've got now or something different. The plan is to maintain the cedar siding obviously some parts of it might need to be replaced based on the construction but not to alter the, the majority of the siding. I like this plan. I think it's going to be much nicer. But I'm willing to hear what other people have to say. Do we have here's the doors. You know, just the door specification is similar to what's there. I agree with Nancy I think this is going to be an improvement. And I congratulate you for this plan. Thank you we have been trying to figure out what to do with this garage since we bought the house because it really doesn't match the house or the neighborhood. I'm just wondering if I could see the sketch again. Sure. Yeah, the sketch will go back to here. Well, somebody busy. Is that visible for everyone. No, we're looking at calendar. You're looking at my calendar. Yes. Sorry. That's that's weird. Let me try that again. I put my bank statement on Facebook. My kids have to tell me that I did it. So is the door going to be solid or is it going to have the city is it going to be the same door that you guys have. It'll be similar in appearance. We haven't picked out the door. It may be the one that we have now has a window in it. This is obviously an improvement, but if you're going to do, if you're going to have a war door with multi pains, I was just wondering if you could maybe, you know, for your windows do four over one or something to match. Is that more expensive or that's just. Instead of the overhead door, we will have four casement windows. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, no, I just wondering if, if you're doing one over one in terms of pains, I was just wondering if you're having a door with multi, you know, this is quibbling and it's not, I'm just suggesting it. And it's not to your taste. I'm certainly. So he's saying here, I'll annotate this right so you did something like, you know, four over one. Oh, yeah, yeah, I think we would totally make the match. That's all, that's the only comment. Yeah. If you're going to have windows on your door, it'd be nice to have that. If you're not going to, you know, anyway, there's a lot of pain, you know, horrible ones in the neighborhood. So, you know, preferably I would, you know, as an aesthetic thing would like a four over one. Yeah, I think that we would, we would definitely do that. We would certainly make the match. Okay, great. Nicole. I guess that was similar comment as well because a garage door, you know, it's kind of now more of a little, a little house or a little, a little addition. So, like if the, it was more about the aesthetics of the window in the door, like if that was going to be the same style as the house because we don't have pictures of that. I think we would match it to the house. Yeah. I mean, part of our issue with the garage is that it doesn't match the house at all right now. And so I think we would do everything we can to, you know, match the windows we're trying to match the roof line will match the, the shingles on the roof. So yeah, I think we would, we would match the house, which looks like we all have all of our windows are just split down the middle. So they're like, what, two point, you know, two, two over two. That would be what we call it. Yeah. Yeah. So I think we would try to match that. I mean, at the very least, we would make the windows and the door of the garage match each other. Oh yeah, you can kind of see the windows of the house now on that right here. Yeah. Yeah, let's see it. See, I think you have your hand, is your hand raised again. Me? Yeah. No, no. I think you can lower it. I'm just in confidence. Yeah. Do we have any other comments or concerns about this project? Well, I think what we've seen we've all see as an improvement and we're pleased to see you fixing up your garage. We're trying to make it more historically appropriate. So let's take a vote on approving this project. Karen? Before that, would there be any, you know, would you want to put a condition or something in the motion about matching the doors and windows to them to each other on the garage or matching the house? I feel like that's one of the things that was discussed. I'm not sure if anyone wants to make that a condition of the, of the motion. I'll move to make, you know, to have it be that the windows match the design of the main house as a condition. It looks like we have another person who's from the public who's raised your hand, Connor Ennis. Sure. How you can I meet yourself? Great. Thank you. Are you able to hear me? Yes. So I'm just wondering why there has to be a condition about the style of the windows. One that's clearly been stated by the homeowners that that is their intention to make things match their home. It sounds seems like a relatively honestly invasive space for historic commission to make a motion and make their, their project conditional upon that. If. Sure. In keeping with the neighborhood as is indicated. It actually isn't. It's a pretty customary thing. It's not mandatory as far as I'm concerned, but we would prefer it and it actually is not invasive and it's actually a pretty common thing in. In local historic districts. I understand. And I live in the, I live in the district as well. And I just, you know, I'm. Concerned about that as a particular condition of this one, it's already been stated and understood in a building that was constructed after the year 2000, which is clearly not a historic time period. So, yeah, so quickly, yeah, I'm native a planner with the town. So. It's actually common practice to say, to take what an applicant says and make it a condition because what they say in this hearing is not enforceable. It's only enforceable if it's a condition and is voted on by the commission. So last night at the planning board hearing. An applicant said they would move their mini split. Extra mini split to some location. And, you know, the only way to actually make that enforceable is to have that be a condition of a permit. And so it's really customary to take things like this and make them conditions. And so, especially in the local historic district commission, it's about aesthetics. And so the commission regulates, you know, the style of doors, windows, siding. And so I think these conditions are really appropriate. You know, if it's, if it's a financial hardship for an applicant, then they can say something, but in terms of being invasive, this is actually something the local historic district is designed to do is to actually regulate things like window patterns. Real patterns and exterior appearance. So. Yeah, I'll just add that this is not meant to suggest we don't trust. The applicant said they're going to do that. Is there like a, you know, a shackle photo on them. Because that's, that's the way it needs to work. So that we get what they say they'll do. Fascinating. Interesting. Thank you. Karen. Um, Can you hear me? Am I on? Yes. Yep. I kind of understand that if they run into difficulties with the windows matching exactly, do they have to come back? I mean, I do think that the whole purpose of this whole construction is to make it more aesthetically pleasing. So, um, I, I agree. Maybe we should just say we approve this instead of putting that condition on because the condition. I mean, they could run into some sort of thing. Does this really match? Do the windows really match? And it's clear that the desire is to make this attractive. So I understand that the person that, that from who called in saying, isn't this getting a little intrusive. Yeah. Well, I agree that given that both Beth and Alan immediately said that that was their intention was to make things match. I've watched a previous renovation they did to their house, which came out quite beautiful. And so I'm inclined to trust them, but I understand if other people feel differently. Steve, did you have something you wanted to say? No, I mean, I just said it's going to happen now. We might as well, it's a little thing, but I think it's would improve. It's an improvement and getting two over one window. That's a pretty standard, not a, you know, if it is a financial hardship, of course, you know, I don't think it should be a condition, but they're pretty standard windows. There's another building on the column or one update and some of the windows don't match. And like, you know, I didn't want to make a big deal about it, but it would have been better. They didn't come up before us, but the windows are actually inconsistent within the house itself. Most of the windows are four over one. Then in the second part of the bunch of windows that are two, it doesn't make any sense. I actually would prefer to, you know, particularly since the homeowners say that it's not a problem to make it a condition because I do think it's incrementally, you know, I think both an improvement over just, you know, modern windows. So Steve, are you moving that we included in the, I would like to still, I'm just countering Karen. I mean, I'm not, if it's a financial hardship, you know, like Nate says, I think I would prefer to have it as a condition myself. All right, then I think we have a motion that this be part of the condition if for some reason this is a financial hardship. I think the committee would be willing to adjust accordingly. But I think that you do have to bring something back to us if you find you can't do what we've asked. So do I have a second for that motion. I second the motion. Okay, let's take a vote then. Nicole. Yeah. Betty. Steve. Yes. Karen. Yes. Elizabeth, if you are muted, I just want to make sure we heard what you. Hi. And I support this also. So we will be granting your certificate of appropriateness. And thank you very much for coming to the meeting and discussing this project with us. Thank you. Thanks. Okay. So the next thing on our agenda is to discuss East Amherst as a potential historic district. And Steve has done some research to find someone who could do some of the research for us. Do you want to talk about this? Sure. I'll give a quick report. I contacted had he start up and asked her if we could, you know, she would be interested, you know, in doing the research for Faye. And she actually said that she wasn't. So then I actually went back and I researched the name of the architectural firm that did such a great job in 2014, which is Nate was right there based in Portland, Maine. And so I contacted somebody there and the firm has disbanded. And so the guy was really nice. One of the principles of his own firm. So he sent me a list of historic preservation consultants. And Jeff Melish, who was the guy that did such a great job was listed on it. So I called up the firm that's based in Maynard, Massachusetts. But Jeff doesn't work there anymore. But I talked to somebody with the war burden. And center gave her access to the Dropbox and she said it was going to be a problem. And then two days ago, you know, I told her that we're going to have a meeting I contacted her on Tuesday. And she just liked and just said that they decided it wasn't enough, $10,000 wasn't enough money for them. So they kind of put me in a spot. So then I went back to the historic preservation consultant list. And I saw that Chris Skelly is on it, which is like amazing because as I said before, Chris Skelly used to be the head of Massachusetts Historical Commission. He lives in Shelburne. I mean, nobody that knows more. So I actually called him on the phone and asked him as a favor, because the CPA, by the way, I finished the CPA application. I just haven't submitted it yet. But the applications do the 30th. So I asked Chris if he could come up with an estimate very quickly that I could present to you guys. And I told him, I can't get over how much money it is. I mean, I told him, I actually reduced it to 25 properties that he would have to research because in my estimation, like 10 already done and another 10 or like halfway done. And, you know, I figured that between us, we could, you know, or I could do it. And so he came back to me with $12,000, which is $2,000 more, which comes out to $500 per form B. Which seems like a lot to me, but maybe it isn't because the other firm may may maynard didn't even give me an estimate. So I guess I'm assuming that's what it would cost. I also contacted the guy that who helped us on the North Prospect Lincoln sunset and he said he would be interested. Sean McWilliams and I'm going to meet with him next week or so. But at least I think we need a budget for to submit the CPA application. So this is what we have. So you need approval of the committee to submit this or what do you, what do you need to things I just wanted to get to, well, last I can't print out the CPA form is actually kind of weird I can't print it out. It's a very unused or friendly form has little tiny spaces. So you can't even see what you're actually cutting and pasting so I can't present last time we, at our last meeting, you guys had voted we voted for me to present the CPA application. And unfortunately, I'm not capable of showing it to you but it's been finished I just have to submit it and with the budget, but I did want to just bring the budget to your attention. It's more than what you have been talking about. But it's the best I can do and there is a demo. So I just wanted everybody to sign off on that. Yeah, I mean, I think Steve. I mean, I think we could extrapolate from Chris's proposal and say if it is, you know, 480 $500 say $500 a property for for inventory form.  Yeah, I'm sorry go ahead. Yeah, I mean you know the CPA pot might be 900 thousand right a million 1.2 million. And so I feel like we could say 20,000 and you know whatever it ends up being if we really if we really have 40 properties or 45. And we wanted to get all new forms. I mean I don't mind putting in a proposal for. You know, 22,000 or whatever it takes and then they can question it and we can say okay well maybe we'll have volunteers and we can do less but I just, if we're going to go for it I don't mind having. Okay, so should I write should I call them back and just tell them to revise and send me a new budget. I mean it could just be that he changes like the to the 25 to whatever properties and then the fee would change I mean it could be really well no it says $12,000 I can call him up you believe me he'll be happy. Yeah, yeah. But are you guys all Elizabeth has a random. Yeah, I'd like to hear what Elizabeth has to say. I suggest that you go for what you need go for what you want to get the whole thing done. There's nothing worse than getting three quarters of the way through it with with some money and then not being able to finish it out in the way you want. And it may be that at the end we decide that some of those other properties don't become part of the historic district but at least you'll have the form bees on them. And kind of like once you're in the research, it's kind of easier to keep going than to add on somebody else into the project so I'd go for the whole amount of what exactly you need just echoing what Nate said. It sounds like good advice, Nicole. And I was just going to add, you know if if there are volunteers that do stuff between now and then you don't, we don't have to take all the money right I mean we can say we only need. Nobody ever returns the money but I said, I created form B digital form B for all the properties in the National Historic District I did not include some of the other ones. I'm just assuming that we're going to do, you know the Dickinson LHD they didn't even do form B they just submitted the National Historic District as their application. But anyway I've created some of them already done but I'll put $20,000 done. You know, I was actually felt kind of sheepish coming back for 12, we only got five for the Lincoln sunset but the difference is and I was thinking a lot about it Lincoln sunset, because it was generated from the neighborhood itself people are very motivated. And they did a lot of volunteer work and I just don't see because this is more abstract. I think it's better to subcontract it. So I'm going to go back and make it for $20,000. And I think you know some of the case you can make see for the funding is also that they're older homes and so the deed research may have to be done in person at the registry. So it's not you know it's not capable of being done online. So there's, you know, it will take more kind of active research whether that's a special collections or the registry or other things. Okay. Yeah okay so I'll just do that and then I'm going to ask him to do another. I'm not going to present it to you. I'm just going to get another, another bid from him and then I'm going to submit the, submit the application if everyone's cool. Okay, with that. Yeah, thank you for your work on that Steve. It's really great. And Nicole did you have something else to say or is your hands still up from before. No, it's actually more imperative now because they're proposing a, you know, and I think it's right on the East Amherst on College Street, what do you call them a lay. An overlay zone, an overlay zone so depressed and with the school can be a lot of pressure on this area so that's what I put in the application. And it mattered a little bit with us. Should I tell Chris, are you guys going to put Elizabeth it turned out that Chris Skelly used to be the head of the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and he lives in Shelburne so it's very close to here. He specializes in divide doing design guidelines, historic design guidelines so. He's really interested in doing it so they would like to how does the bid oh, what do I call him about that. Yeah, I mean the design guidelines that the town's looking for is downtown it's not necessarily specific to a local historic district but it'll become public I mean I'm assuming he can see it he'll you know it'll go through different state online platforms I'm assuming he's registered with like a local public service is Bolton or certain things so he would be notified of it. Can you give me a heads up so I can give him a heads up. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no yeah I think it was really complicated. Interesting yeah. And he said it was their downtown as well. So, okay, yeah. Yeah he may have worked with it. I say he may have worked with the team so even we like this one either as an architecture firm out of. Is it maybe water town but they're small and they've done a few really nice design guidelines around around the state and they usually end up working in a team right so the architect will be the lead but they end up. You know, working pulling in a number of different private consultants and so maybe crystal, you know he can do that as well. Okay, I mean we worked with them on the other one and he was terrific. Do you need anybody else to look at this proposal before you submit it. Do you want anyone else to look at it. I don't even know how you go online. You know you put is an existing account and then you can save work in progress, but it's pretty pretty straightforward and I actually took a lot of. I did a CPA grant for the last LHD so I took a lot of the answers in there and it's updated them. And then I just did a very short overview of the actual properties. And you know that that tavern, the Dickinson bags tavern they actually audit Shays Rebellion there. Does anyone know what Shays Rebellion is. Yeah, anyway, you know that Shays Rebellion was a very big deal is almost like the tea party now and it actually people died it was impelled. I thought it was a different tavern. Tavern, but they moved the clock tavern. You're like way ahead yet cloud tavern was where it actually took place but the cloud tavern, the building was moved to the to where Dickinson, but one is now, and then rename so name structure with a new name but that you know and anyway it's pretty interesting some of the people like general there's a general Neptune you ever heard of him. Oh yeah. Yeah, his house is there he was a congressman and Revolutionary War general. Anyway, you know, the more I dig into it the more I mean, I think it's definitely worth doing so. Yeah. We could. What else do we want to discuss about making East Amherst potential historic district. We have other things we need to talk about. No, I mean, I agree. I mean the planning board met last night and they've been meeting to look at East Amherst as a potential, you know, redevelopment area along route nine and so you know anywhere from like the railroad bridge by Hampshire lumber all the way down to like Stanley street. And one of the members last night said oh would we ever go north along the common. And it's kind of interesting because right now it's zoned RBC residential village center. And I don't necessarily see. I mean, I thought that member of the planning board and others has said they like the character of way, you know, say north of route nine the way it looks right now around the comment and so I'm not sure why we necessarily want to rezone it to allow redevelopment. So I like the idea of a local historic district here. I like the idea of redeveloping route nine and having some two distinct areas. So, I don't know. I guess that's for people. That's for the planning board to talk about as well. Okay, Karen will expect you to do that part. So we move to amending the bylaw to include a review of the parking lots and other structures. Yeah, that's so on me I haven't I haven't done much with it I talk about it. I have tax I just need to kind of move it forward. Luckily the, you know, 98 fearing is a project that had been coming. Before the commission, they've been really slow to provide new information. And so I'm not sure when that will actually come back. I think they're watching. There's a ZBA case up on North Pleasant Street, where someone's trying to add a second duplex on a property it's getting a lot of resistance from the neighbors and so they might be waiting to see kind of how that works. But I still think we can regulate parking and other things now. I think that what we're hoping to do is just clarify it so that it's really not, you know, an interpretation of the building commissioner. So, you know, we can't regulate the use, but we can regulate the space, you know, the parking space. So, can you bring us some language to vote on at our next. Yeah, yeah, that would be great. I wondered if, you know, before we get to that, and I know you don't have a firm proposal, but would you say a little bit about why you think it's important to regulate the parking. And the other facilities, what in general is the reason for that. Yeah, so I think, you know, right now in our bylaw, we follow the state template and we said that a structure is defined as anything other than a building and it could be.  And then further in the bylaw we have exemptions and we say that anything that's a structure that substantially a great is exempt but other other things aren't and so. So for two things one is what we're seeing now with a lot of infill is they you have to treat stormwater on site. And so they're essentially creating a stormwater structure out of earth or pipes. That's quite visible.  And there's a concrete overflow structure and there's grading and essentially it's no longer at grade. And so, you know, one of the changes was to include drainage or utility infrastructure. And I think it's defined, you know, the building commissioner thinks that it's already captured under definition but it'd be great to have just that clarity because, you know, you could have a new building in local historic district where they have to treat stormwater on site and then they propose to have, you know, this concrete overflow structure in the front yard, for instance, right and then. So that's one and then in terms of parking, we can't regulate use but we can regulate the space. And so it's a little different but you know, I think it's really kind of it's unique to Amherst because there is this conversion of single family homes to a different use right to rentals and so with that comes parking. And so I think most local historic districts probably don't have to be concerned with you know a two fan a two unit two family building right in Amherst that might just be, you know, a few cars. I mean, outside of Amherst might be a few cars in Amherst if it's two units with four bedrooms each that's eight cars and that becomes a parking lot. And so it changes the residential character of the district and so you know the language we've been looking at with the building commissioner is regulating parking. That's over so many square feet or so many parking spaces and so the commission would have the ability to say well you have to move that behind a building it can't be, you know, in the front of the building or something and so that's, you know, and that's where it also becomes important. You don't want to see a asphalt, maybe along the whole side of a property and so, you know, right now. I think the commission can regulate it say for instance if there's a proposal to have multiple buildings on a property and they want to have this big parking lot, the commission could say well your parking lots informing where your buildings are located but we want to move things around to make it more aesthetic right in terms of setbacks or the things. But if someone just came in right now and said I want to just pave my yard. There's really nothing to regulate that. So, you know, I do think it's, you know, I think local districts and other communities might not have to worry about that but in Amherst it just seems like it's because of this, the pressure on the housing market it's, you know, kind of this drive for people to create and fill and change the number of units on a property I think that's really why it's relevant. Thank you. Yeah, I mean Bruce coldam said it. I mean I was surprised. Yeah, he's, I wasn't sure, you know, it's like a few meetings ago and he's like yeah I actually think Amherst is in a unique position and we should because of this interpretation of the bylaw to allow multiple dwellings or structures on a property and so with that comes parking. And so, you know, we're saying there's one proposal for two duplexes on a property and everyone have 10 or 12 parking spaces. And that's, it's not, you know, it's not a local historic district or anything. And then, you know, the property is big but it's like wow that's, you know, 12 parking spaces with a turnaround and everything that's a lot of, that's a parking lot. So can we expedite this since it's coming. Yeah, like I said, I think we're, I think we're within the bylaw to regulate it now I think the adding it just can make it a little clearer. So, but yeah I think we should I was waiting like I said the attorneys were hoping to update the whole general bylaw this fall and this was going to be like folded into it so I'll try to follow up with that to see if we can. Great, thank you. Yeah, no I agree I it's on my list I, like I said I have draft language with the building commissioner and we just need to kind of work it out a little bit. So you don't have to explain. Let me tell you it's getting busy usually it's okay but this fall right now we. It's between, you know the circle commission is really busy, and then the housing trust and the planning board and block grants kicking up again it's just like oh, all right here we go. But you have a new person right, they can help you out. Rob staffs the zoning board but we never filled Ben's position so I'm still doing much of his role. Yeah we've we've tried to hire in our a few applicants have withdrawn it's been somewhat disappointing. Okay, have we got unanticipated items. Nicole. I just wanted to kind of update you because Nate and I over the last couple weeks since our last meeting to houses have come on the market that were are in the district. So 18 North prospect, the listing agent was like, totally on top of everything and everything about the local historic district was loaded in the MLS so I can see it and I'm like, I just let Nate know that that was all good. But 80 fearing is for sale by owner. So there was kind of no information about the local historic district, as there's not a realtor that's kind of updating the documents and making those documents available. So I had kind of left it in your hands Nate and I just wanted to kind of see moving forward. If this is the best way like for me to just highlight to you I saw this house come on the market like is it something that's going to come from the town of saying you know please inform any buyers that you're located in the local historic district like I think it's one thing. I'm happy to do it either way. But obviously with that other property with the listing agent, you know I could just say from listing agent to a listing agent here you go. And that's typically you know they are going to be with the listing agent but for the for sale by owner. Anyways, so I'm just kind of like throwing that back at you Nate. Yeah, I think with listing agents I think it'd be great if you could, you know the town doesn't follow the sales we typically followed after the fact and so yeah, we just don't know you know the assessors will see it after the fact. We'll only get involved if a potential buyer or the seller has questions and you know there's an attorney so no I really appreciate that you reached out and so I you know what we did was there's a. It's a it's a little data but there's a flyer and informational flyer and it's great just to have that to distribute so that the owners can see, see that and I mean, you know, I am surprised sometimes that people will purchase a property and then say oh I didn't I didn't know that it was either in a historic district or that it's historic or something you know just anything really right like oh, oh there's a easement across my backyard it's like didn't someone do title on you for you or help you and so. But yeah no I yeah I don't want to put it on us but if you ever see something for sale by owner or something that doesn't have an agent I think that'd be great to let us know and then we can try to figure out you know how to make it be more public and everyone be aware of it. Yeah, I mean even if there's just like a standard letter or something I mean like I mentioned before like it's a buyer beware state so sellers don't actually have to disclose anything it's not their responsibility it's the buyers responsibility to know these things. Or find out these things research these things. Yeah, so, you know, it obviously just comes across differently like as a as a realtor they're going to know I live in some check and what's for sale and Amherst every day. So it wouldn't be, you know, as odd for me to reach out to another listing agent and say by the way, you know I'm on this commission and I saw that that your house just came up. We as the commissioners would you know love for you to share this information just to help the buyers. Right. I should find out you're saying that just made me realize. Yeah, because of that right. And we had talked about this. Let me just make a note I will circle back with the assessor. We were trying to add this to a field. But I don't see it on the property card. Oh, that would be nice. Yeah, and it might be on an internal one but not a public facing one. Yeah. Yeah, because typically realtors will pull up the property card. Right, right. So for realtor for a buyer were to look at the properties they would see it then. If it's added he's saying it might not be there. Yeah, it might not be there. Yeah. And we talked about that there was a few we were trying to. That was a while ago actually so I. Yeah, we're trying to get that added in a few things just so that, you know, because it is all it's all public it'd be great to have some of this so it's not right this hidden information like oh I didn't know it was in. Historic district and there was a we were trying to add. Oh, there's one other thing. I wanted to add to the property cards anyways I it's just to me it's just like good record keeping to have that be somewhere in a central place like the assessors information and I know they have it so it's just a matter of how does it get displayed on the card. Thank you for bringing that to our attention Nicole that was very helpful. I like that idea. Do we have a public comment from anyone. Maybe attendees someone I called and said they might attend this meeting but I didn't see their name in the list and they all left after the hearing so. Okay. You know, Karen. No Karen has her hand. Okay. I'm wondering if if this is awkward for Nicole as a realtor, but it's important somehow to to make the owner aware that this is that he doesn't have to but this would be good to inform the buyers. We can make it upon ourselves that if we are informed by Nicole that this is happening to drop off one of these or is the town going to do it just to get the ball rolling. I mean we as a commission could take it on us just to drop off this and make it be known. You mean the flyers. The flyer. Now I think it's really about how they manage it moving forward. And so, you know, giving it to the owner they might not provide it so I think I like the angle of trying to get it on a property card. And then, you know, if there is an agent I, you know, I don't put Nicole in an awkward spot but she sees that she sees that in a way that I don't. You know, and so. I mean we used to send out an annual mailing to property owners but they still say that they didn't know or they don't want to disclose it and so it's one of those things it's really hard to make it available to the potential buyers is really who are trying to, you know, educate not necessarily the owners and so it's a, that's where the property card I think would be helpful just so it's, it's right up there. I agree that's in the in the future that should be done. But for right now, should we in the meantime, just drop off a flyer again to 80 fearing. Yeah, right. Somebody will contact them for sure. And I'm sure Jennifer will be there. It's a very valid concern. We need to get moving on that. I mean, I think, I think one of my thoughts was and again, like we have no control over what the seller does with it. But yeah, like if a letter came from the town with that flyer of saying we notice your house on the market, please share this with all buyers. I mean, like it's out of your control as to what they do with it, but at least, you know, then the best effort was made. I just feel like directly to the, I mean, I'm happy to send send the letter. I'm just wondering like having it come from the town it just seemed a little less of a nosy neighbor versus. This is a town thing. Oh, I, yeah, this is a different thing, but what about getting some signs for some of these districts. So people, even though they exist, you know, most of the other towns have signs for national registry districts, which aren't even local historic districts. You know, like sundown has one, Hadley has one, Hatfield has a couple of them. I mean, should we start thinking about I know that the new and Hazel Avenue, which is the African American district, there actually are signs up now, seeing that it is. So should maybe should we start thinking about. I would even do a fundraiser to make the sign, but you putting some signs up so people are even aware, and that's a good way to bring awareness and you pass a sign and says it's a, you know, local historic district and you know, there's no surprises. You know, just an idea. Literally buyers going to the open house are going to read that as they're driving up this. Yeah, that's a good idea. But we let's make that a future agenda item. I mean, years ago, the commission, historical commission wanted it and then they got bogged down by the design of it. I know the Hazel, or the, I think that's considered. It's not West is it West Side historic district. I know they were talking about it. So I think Steve, I think, yeah, it's something we should have we could continue and and it had been mentioned that it's something that would be done.  Yeah, yeah, but I just read there. Yesterday in the paper, for those properties were just sold to the same person. I hope those buildings, I mean, I guess I was like, I don't know if you noticed that. No, I didn't. Yeah, yeah, it's a shame. I didn't even know that thing was, I didn't know that street was there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You include that in your, in your proposal, your $20,000 proposal. We'd like some. No, it's a shame they're shanties, but it's a fascinating street at the dead end street right behind the track, the Amherst College track. I had no idea. Yeah. Let's talk about signs. I made a note to myself and I think it's probably, you know, we have the way finding system up. We kind of have, you know, I feel like we have a good template. We know like the style and so we could just adapt it to have, you know, so many entry signs to these districts. I think that's a great suggestion. I agree. Yeah, I just wanted to ask what that Hazel Street is zoned. So someone bought four properties. What does that mean? It could do. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's just general neighborhood residents. And so, you know, it might just, they were, they had been owned actually by one family too for a while. And so maybe that they just all transferred all the ownership. Maybe they just, you know, I'll look into it. You know, the rentals right now. So maybe they're just considering keeping it that way. I actually haven't heard anything happening down there, but they're not, there's not too much they can do. I'm just looking at the lots are kind of small. And they have already pretty big buildings on too. So I don't. Yeah. Are you considering it could be a site for a local historic district because of its history. The whole neighborhood. The houses are in must have been very inexpensive to build and are not in great shape. So I'm not sure what we could enforce there. Well, they sold those three houses sold one for 265, one for 482 and one for 505. Whoa, really? Yeah. See, these are student rentals now. I think one is considered a three family. So that's where the family went for 723. Wow. 723.  So it could just be. That they're, you know, I don't know, maybe that they would just. You know, try to maximize the number of tenants they could have. Yeah, well, so signs, let's have that next time I do like that idea and I'll take some pictures and. We had a previous. I mean, we had kind of had a template marked up. I thought that. So we could just kind of. Resurrect that. Other items that people would like to bring forward. I was going to say for the, we could schedule the next meeting. There's 3 applications that'll probably be reviewed. They're similar to today and in the respect that I don't think they're. Too complicated, but they do have to go through the process. And so. You know, 1's 2, well. 2 are fences and 1's a deck and so. So I was looking at. The week of October 23rd, I guess. Is the 23rd a possibility for people. It's a Monday afternoon. Yeah, that that's good with me. Yep. For me. Three o'clock, our usual. Yes. If that's good, that gives me enough time to get the legal ad posted and everything. That works. And I was just going to add kind of to that conversation. Just so that it's not reliant on. You know, the family members are not family members, but the commission knowing the people and the individuals. You know, I do, I do think it is best to kind of just have it written up. So that there is no judgment on, you know, it happens to be a landlord and you. The neighbors don't know this person at all because they live in Boston.  I think it is just better, whatever we do consistently to, you know, okay, great, you said that great. We're going to just write it up as such or, or whatever else just so it's in writing and it doesn't have anything to do with. You know, what that person's been like before, even if we know him or don't know him. I agree. But how do you do it? Well, I think this was handled well. It was just said, great. You said it was going to be similar to the house and let's write it up as such versus. You know, the pressure of not writing it and let's see what happens. I just think it's better for us to be consistent with having it written. Just because, you know, we have had kind of non-local landlords, you know, presenting such where there's not a relationship. Yeah, I agree.  I mean, it's just standard practice. And so, you know, I think the other homeowner who spoke, maybe they were just concerned. I think they did feel like it was invasive. But to me, it's just it's common practice and the point of the district is to regulate these things. And so, you know, I'm really comfortable saying that. And I think, you know, it's not an onerous condition to have a grill style on a window.   And so, but I think they, I mean, I agree. I think their property is nice and I think they'll do it, but we can't take them on their word and not take someone else. And really it doesn't become any, there's no action there. If it's not recorded on the permit or the certificate, there's no way to document it. So yeah, I'm okay with that. Yeah. I think it was the right thing to do. I think Nicole's like suggesting some sort of protocol in terms of informing people when they put their houses up and some sort of mechanism. Is that what you're trying to suggest? Or am I missing something? No, those were two different items, but yeah, yeah, two different items. But yeah, for the people, I am going to talk to the assessor to see if we can make it public on property cards at the properties in a local historic district. And we had talked about that a while ago. And so, you know, just as we say, not unoccupied on it, we could just, I mean, it could just go in the notes. I'd love it to be its own field and just say, you know, located in a local historic district and then. Yes or no. Yeah, especially as we expand to new districts. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Right. Yeah. So, Nate, for the for Greta and Bruce, do you let them know when the next meeting is going to be or do I need to let them know. I'll send an email out. Maybe tomorrow and just say, you know, here's the next meeting and we're probably expecting a few, few applications and then we can have, you know, other topics to review. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Well, then do we have a motion to adjourn? I so move. Second. All in favor. Hi. Hi. Great. Thanks everyone. Thank you.


there they go so this is the my first attempts of trying to get this made and up in the air so that was attempt one his attempt two you notice it says air for my mode which means I'm in acro mode but it's airmole is on but like I said in the last video I hadn't set up the gyro for this I just copied and pasted it I've done that now I did it all last night and that time it's on cruise so this is my first time in manual nearly no cigar and here we go again oops we got it we got it so this is line of sight this is just me having a little go on the stick line of sight and now I'm stepping backwards towards the FPV monitor and as you can see it sort of settles down a little bit more the FPV oh well what do I think to the first flight it's absolutely awesome these things are so manoeuvrable it's scary but at the same time it's a blustery day today a bit of wind not loads of wind but it's quite blustery for the first time out with this I think is I prefer to have had it a little bit less bluster but it makes no difference makes no difference it's nice to feel the bit of wind on there those people down there were actually waiting for me to take this thing off if you could have seen the amount of people that were there first of all not in the fields but once I did I was setting up and then there was loads of people coming over to have a look see what's going on so yeah well do you know that I quite like this I do quite like it I'm gonna give you a little bit of explanation what's up there on the on-screen display so the top line there you got manuals that's my modes to the right of that you got the heading I'm gonna get put a video I'm gonna tell you why knowing where your heading is is quite crucial at least it would have been for me and this one particular flight but then so and then next line down we've got the H stop which is the I like to call the link quality between the satellite and the satellite receiver to the right of that we've got our current the amount of power that we're drawing now I use the hundred percent throttle when it went up and it drew 10 amps and around about 67 cent throttle when there's a lot of wind look if you well let's just get to that we're drawing around about five amps let's say so the amount of milliamps that I've drawn so far is 193 milliamps 1994 on the right hand side of that is the oh sorry yeah and then on the right hand side of that's how many how many milliamps we using per kilometer so you can see that per kilometer 66 milliamps per kilometer then we got the total distance on the right hand side of that below next line we got a satellite 16 and then we've got our speed and if you notice the speed going out this way slows down quite a bit as we turn around it goes buck up but the throttle still say the same that's because there's quite a lot of wind there is quite a bit of a pressure on the wind there so we've got the speed next one across is out the altitude that's 28 29 30 meter 32 to 3 to the right of that we've got the distance from home next line we've got our RSSI and then we've got this it's like a calculated speed so there's a horizontal speed there 47.9 that's going against us this is what's enabling us to speed up you know down to like low 30s on contours now and then up into the 70s without adjusting the throttle real a little bit higher than 70 then that's because I was getting down as well so again speed but that's because there's quite a lot of gusts blowing about up there so quite happy and the next one to that is the vertical the amount of pressure pushing us down next to that is the throttle position and that's the throttle position if I could put it into a like assisted mode be it stabilization or returns home or whatever it will then let me know the difference between my actual throttle position and the position and it's put in the throttle into for these assisted modes but of course I can't do that the moment because the gyro is not set up in this for me to do that once or twice I will go into and then I go into air mode and it just tries to dive down towards the ground so I'll put it back into manual again and pull back up again try and see if I can notice when that happens and pointed out to you if I can't and I'll just get back on the video look at it and I'll just put a thing up so yeah this is it's quite nice I think because it's so small as well you know it's less than a meter wide and there's no tail or anything on there it's gonna be a lot easier to get it about the Skyhunter even in my van is takes up the entire van although I do like that and for a long distance thing I think that's gonna be that's gonna be the way to go but I've had this since before I bought the Skyhunter and the Big Slur and I've just never had it up in the air so this is my first time up in the air and I'm pretty chuffed myself I'm in manual mode and everything seems to be okay but I do like the idea that it's not using too many amps let's say five amps on average that means I might be able to use the 18650 batteries make a battery pack up with that let's say three amps or something battery pack Sony VX6's I think 6C's I can't remember what they are but yeah so then that's the throttle position because we've got the battery there and we got there the channel what channel I'm on and what power level I'm on power level 2 hour 4 so I'm on 200 milliwatts I don't see the point of flying 600 milliwatts when I'm close you just end up with lots of reflections and you know it looks like interference coming across the screen but if you just drop the power down a bit that helps get rid of something that's so and then we've got fly time in minutes six minutes fly time at the moment I didn't it didn't have a fully charged battery the battery that was in it was the one that was in there from the night before just setting up there we go that's the that's my maiden I made him fly with my wing and I think there's gonna be plenty of times again out with that and having more fun with it thoroughly enjoyed it look at the stats there in case you don't know what the wing actually looks like there that's I mean that's just a stock photo of wing of that my wing yeah thanks watching guys see you soon


Hey there friends, how's it going? My name is Kevin and go on, try stroking them. Yeah, it's kind of weird, but it's not weird given the context that we are playing in 10 dogs. It is still kinda, one second, weird. Looking at them without audio because I've muted it because I was getting things set up in it. It looks like they're trying to escape or something. Oh yeah, happy music. Go on, try stroking them. See, I want my own dog. I've wanted one for years and I'm hoping to get one this year. And I think I am leaning towards getting a golden retriever. So you can give me this one, however I pick it. Hold on, let me just, oh there we go. Alright, pet it right on the eye. Oh sweet Jesus, now there's loads of them. I don't know which one I picked. I've already picked one. This game is stressful. This game should be rated 18. This is insurable for kids. This is traumatic. I'm picking this one. This is extortion. I'll hit cancel, or the other one's cheaper. They're like, um, is this really a money issue? Like, I thought you'd pick the dog you'd love. Oh yeah, yeah, Jesus, I love him, but Jesus, I love my money a bit more. Do you have anyone with like, maybe some problems? They're all the same price.  Ah yes, he reminds me of me when I was a little dog. I'm going with my first choice if it's all the same price. Fek it. Oh God, he's got some disease. There should have been some kind of discount. I've got dogs not all over my floor. Yeah, there you go. Pet his eyes. He's just got his eyes closed, like please stop doing this. Let's take a picture for the gram. Trying to get one mid-sneeze. There we go. We got a bit of sneeze in that one. Okay, just got my new dog. I'm nursing him back to health. When in reality, I just kept irritating his nose until he sneezed. I just want people on the internet to think I'm a good person. Put on the collar. That way he knows he's mine. Here's a balloon. He's going to get a heart attack if he pops it, the poor dog. That is so cruel. I took out the food, let him smell it, and then I just put it away. I've lost your food. Sorry, I'm not feeding you. All right, I found something. There you go. Act quick before you, whoop, the poor dog. He's digging for it. He's like, it was here a second ago. All right, come on, feed the fecking dog before everyone in the comments crucifies me.  Is that popcorn or something? I don't know if it's a good idea to have an open fire with a puppy like this. I don't know if it's a good idea to have an open fire with me around in general, really. I'm going to crush you with this ball. Oh wait, no, I think this ball is just really close to me. Yeah, that's, that's okay. Oh, I hit my dog with a ball. I'm a monster. First, I neglect to feed him, and now I'm hitting him with a ball. He could have died. Give it to me. It's my ball. They're giving it away. I'm like, no, wait, I want to play with that, but no, put it away. Steal it back. Oh, he's realized he owns him.  What's, what's the matter? What do I need to do?  Why don't you wait until you're more familiar with your pet? You have to be fair on the first impression. You don't want to wash someone. Anytime I've tried to wash someone when I first met them, it's mostly gone badly. Oh, no, I threw the ball into traffic. Straight out onto the road. Put it away. How do I play with my dog? Let's do something. Come on. Is this me calling my dog? Am I a police car? He seems to have calmed down quite a bit. Yeah, the sirens really settled him. Do you have an idea why you want to name your puppy? Yes. Fish. Fish. Yes.  Fish probably isn't a good name for him. Goldfish. Goldfish. Much better. He learned his name. You better make a note of it before you forget. He already knows who's playing. He's going to forget in two seconds. Um, what was it? Gold, gold, gold fins. No gold, goldfish got it. It's goldfish correct. I mean, it is correct. It's not writer, but it's correct.  Germs. Goldfish. He knows it. Look at that. Get some pictures. Yes. Oh, yeah. Sneeze all over me and I'll get some pictures. I think he's allergic to pictures, much like me. It explains him on my Instagram is so bare. Do you want to wash goldfish? I mean, he's been out of water for quite some time. I think goldfish are supposed to remain in water, so yes, let's give him a wash. Also, what did you get up to yesterday? I just washed my goldfish. Who's a clean goldfish? He's very clean little fish, isn't he? Like, let me get your gills. There you go. He is literally sparkling. Sorry, that's inappropriate. I shouldn't be taking pictures of you when you're in the shower.  He's just kind of sitting there staring into the fire reminiscing. Maybe it would be a good time to teach him how to sit. Honestly, I don't know if I'm the best teacher for this. I haven't really figured it out myself entirely. Quickly slide that there to make your puppy sit. Okay, wait, hold on. Be sure to pronounce your command very clearly. Okay. See you. It's so confusing. How am I going to remember this? See you. He's getting confused. I don't blame him. Okay, let me sit. Instead of making random noises, let me just say a different word for it, so at least it'll be consistent. I don't understand why you don't understand. Zip door. Do I have to match the first noise I made because I can't remember what it was. It was like, can I really stand? It's like I'm speaking parasol tongue. Yeah, he's so confused. Oh, I don't deserve to own a dog. Sit. No, he doesn't get it. He doesn't understand. I have to match the original noise. I mean, I don't know what it was.  Is it ever going to give up or do you just have to keep going? Please understand me. How can I fix this? I can't leave. It's not my fault.  Zi-ow. I figured it out. Zi-ow. I need a bit of paper. I need a bit of paper. Zi-ow. I have no pen. All right, let me just write it down somewhere on my phone. Goldfish has learned a new trick. Make a note of what you thought, you puppy. Zi-ow means sit. Why do I have to overcomplicate everything for myself? Goldfish learned sit. Zi-ow. I just tried to make a mark of it. I just don't want to forget. Zi-ow. It worked. Okay. Zi-ow means sit. Great. Oh, my diary. Fantastic. Monday. I failed. You can teach it to Alfred's left paw. Okay. Yeah, let's do it. Skip this. I'm a master at teaching dogs as you have already seen. Okay. I've taught him a trick. Goldfish. Dear leader. There you go. I love it. It's like the secret called handshake. Dear leader. That is adorable. The cult now has a puppy. Let's go out. Let's celebrate. Let's go shopping. Let's go to secondhand. Secondhand what?  Your name is Mr. Cycle. God, you really got forced into this position, didn't you? Like you couldn't really be like a mortician with that name, could you? I would like to sell some dog food. Yes, all of it. Thank you. Great. Thanks.  What a bargain. Goldfish. Goldfish. He's not listening to me. Dear leader. Dear leader. This guy's be so confused. I'm just shouting dear leader in the shop. All right. What do I want? Do I want to lead? I'm pretty sure that's not a telephone, but I don't know. The youth today, they don't know what's what. I get a fish bowl for my goldfish. Wait, I need to give him materials? What kind of a store are you? How are you making money? I'm leaving. This is the worst shop I've ever been to. Now I have no dog food though. This is a slight issue. Competitions. We're ready. Obedience trial. He's not listening to me. Junior cop. Let's go. Oh wait, I need to teach him right, Paul.  Okay, one more trick. All right. I've taught it to him.  No, and of course I don't. What are you talking about? Okay, fine. Yes. Yes, I have my cards. I'm not going to be able to do this, am I? Capture the AR card on your screen. I don't have any.  It's like I have you bought all the extras, huh? Have you? I could just have the game.  All right, I'm leaving. Sorry, goldfish. We'll get them next time. Let's go for a walk instead. Oh, I see people. Sick'em. Sick'em. Yeah, kill. Kill. There you go. You found your toilet. Oh, we found a present. It's probably just a doggy bag from a previous owner, but let's take a look anyway. What have we got here? Whatever it is, it's mine. I saw it first, goldfish. A black leather collar. Finally. Yeah, that's mine. I'm keeping it. What are you thinking about, huh? He got an idea or something. Oh, I think his idea was just to go pee. You know what? Great minds. Think alike, goldfish. Oh no, he made a mess.  Just leave it there. It's fine. You've got back home. Goldfish enjoyed the walk, but doesn't seem completely satisfied. Probably because I sold all his food to some second hand store. I'm going to use the money to buy a cat tower. He's like, oh yeah, this one should suit you. What kind of cat do you have? I'm like, I don't have a cat. Why would you? Why would you ask that? Oh, I really want this interior, but I don't have enough money. Fairytale. Oh, I can get him a little. Oh, we're going to make you fancy. All right. Thank you very much. I will now go dress up my goldfish. Poor goldfish. It looks like he's about to critique my artwork. Oh, yes, colorful, predictable, uninspired. All right, time to enter the discompetition. This is what we've all been waiting for, what we've led up to. We're going to show this feck or what for. Oh, they already put me in the final.  He's been taught well. Today's the dashing duo. Goldfish in question, Max. I wasn't comfortable giving them my name. This dog competition's involved with the Illuminati. I have never tried using the disc with this dog before. He's getting confused. He's not even coming back. He's not playing. He's struggling out there. He's trying to eat it. I don't blame him since I sold all his food, I guess. He's probably starving. You're doing great, goldfish. Doing great. You just keep it up. All right, that brings us to a grand total of zero points. Good job out there, goldfish. Why did everyone come see this? This is weird. In third place with zero points. You can say last, all right? You don't have to treat me like I'm that fragile. You're allowed to say last. I got 10 euro in prize money. Oh, we made a profit, still. That's not bad. All right, well, goldfish is all talker there. Look at them. He's such a cute little fish, but I guess we'll end it there. I've never played this game before, so this was an experience. I actually really enjoyed it. I guess I did kind of just goof around a bit. I don't know what I enjoy playing it normally. I think it's one of those games that you just have to get when you're young and just play it like religiously, and then you get super into it, but I had a good time. That's the important thing. I hope you did too. I hope you enjoyed the video. I appreciate you watching. If you want to watch more of my stuff, I post every single day. I also stream over on Twitch. If you want to check out that, the link is in the description. All other than that, I'll just thank you for watching, and I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.


There we go! I told you that guard wasn't looking too healthy. Let's go Sasuke. Let's use that combination. How's it going everybody? Dot today here and we are finally back with some more Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 online ranked matches. It has been a good minute now since we last hopped on this game, but we are finally back and I'm going to be playing a heavily suggested team of both Atachi and Sasuke. Of course, when you get a team like this, another one of your big goals is going to be landing that team Ultimate Jutsu online and seeing if we can pull that off with any sort of consistency. Of course, another goal we're going for currently is trying to rise through the ranks over time, so getting some wins would be nice as well. If you guys do end up enjoying this video, definitely let me know down below either by leaving a like or a comment. You guys have been supporting these Naruto videos a ton and I would definitely like to bring more your way if you guys want to keep seeing this. But with that said, let's go ahead and hop into these online ranked matches and see if we can get some wins. Alright, so I mean, oh my goodness, already starting off with an assist. So yeah, like I said, our goal is to land the team. Oh, you're going to sit there. Let me go ahead and try to grab. Okay. Understandable. Dude, I'm so happy to be back to this game. Shuriken, you can't avoid the Shuriken pain trying to jump out. Take the hit. Okay. Shouldn't have dashed in there. That was my bad. But we're also going to try to land, you know, each of their Ultimate Jutsus and stuff like that. And then eventually I'll have to play through the story to, oh, look at the reads man. Tilt Attack. Atachi's Tilt Attack is so good. I'm just going to hold that. No reason for me to try to get fancy and dodge it. Beautiful. Haven't blocked that. Oh, his guard's not looking that healthy, dude. I've seen healthier guards. I'm going to charge in front of him. I don't know why I didn't think he'd grab it again. But the grab does go through my guard. Going to successfully get me there. If I get my assist. Alright, beautiful. Alright, guard should break right now. I didn't do it. I was going to try to go into a, oh, you thought I wouldn't block a paper bomb from that close? Let me get this combo. Let me get this combo real quick. Oh, Sasuke, get in there and save me, dude. I wanted the guard break pretty badly. I'm not going to lie. Alright, he only has one sub, so if we can get those subs gone. Really? The grab didn't hit. Alright, that will. Oh, let's go. If I had my teammate up, I could have done that instead. But this will be fine. We can get a combo here. Oh, no, Sasuke didn't come out. That's fine. Man, we are dropping a lot right now. Stop. I thought he would ultimate. There we go. Alright, we got one more. No, what a fast crowd. Narts, relax. Oh my goodness. He was swinging on us. I don't think that will combo. Oh, but his guard is, we're going to break his guard with this. Oh, I hope he feels confident in it. How confident are you in that guard of yours? Try it. Try it. Oh, you try. Oh, you're pretty smart. That was sick. Oh, the Sasuke is so cool. The last Sasuke, honestly, it might be one of my favorite Sasuke. I don't know. Something about him, dude. This move is especially good. Look at this shot. Oh my goodness. Oh, that is so sick. Alright, alright, that was pretty sick. But how's that guard looking? I got to ask once again. There we go. I told you that guard wasn't looking too healthy. Let's go Sasuke. Let's use that combination. Hey, man, this game looks incredible. Shoot this guy. Oh my goodness. Oh, that shot is too good, dude. Wow, this game is so, this game is my favorite Naruto game. What the, he was a what? He's not dead? Whoa, that actually jump scared me. I thought he was doing this, like switching into Naruto. Oh my, I'm sorry for yelling. I genuinely was scared by that. That was like, if you were watching a cartoon and then when the cartoon ended, the character started running at the screen. Oh, don't do it, Naruto. Oh, he did it though. Alright, I don't want to lose this. I want to get as much of this. I want to get the health bar effect, dude. You know how at the end of the game, when they're just really desperate to take that final bit of health, they get a little too dead. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, it's not looking like I'm going to get a chance. Nice. At the end of those games though, people get desperate. Just let me get this last bit of health and then we can move on. In that desperation, you start to see a little, those mistakes. Oh, beautiful use of Inferno style. Oh, nice. You can't go anywhere. Oh, no way. That was sick. Ooh. Alright, alright, we got to land one of those ourselves to even it up now. At least we get to see this beautiful shot. This shot right here. Wait for it. Not this one. That one's cool. This one, dude. Wow, that is cool. That's illegal to be that cool, dude. You can't do that. That's against the law. Alright, but I still got one guard break, dude. He is just, he's getting me now, though. Alright, come on. We can even the score here. Dodge that. Okay, no more. Oh, no, mistakes have been made. I'm just going to do it wrong then. Alright, alright. Well, that guard is still pretty broken. Oh, no, why we called me out? I'm just trying not to worry about it too much. Okay, got him. Nice. This is getting scary, though. Oh, beautiful. He doesn't want to use a sub on that. It's fine. I don't want to use any more chakra than I have to either. Please. Oh, no. Oh, what a dodge. We sidestepped it completely. Oh, I couldn't get him, but we're actually still out of range. Yeah, breaking the guard. Guard it. Oh, no, no, no, no. Sub, sub, sub, sub. How's my guard looking? Okay, kid. I wasn't too sure about myself, actually. Nice. Back into the combo. These guards broken. He's still dazed and confused. Let's go. Just push the objective now. We got his final sub. Just keep it. Keep on him. Keep on him. Don't give him a second to rest, Sasuke. Go for it. Let's go. We'll take the game. That was sick. That was a higher rank opponent, but I don't know how the ranks work in this game. We probably won't rank up, but just to see where we are, we're still very low. We are still insanely low. No, we don't need a replay of that. I was recording it myself. Oh, man, hold on. Let me see the rank. That was a great beginning game, though. Sasuke and Atachi. That super attack is so cool. Can we get, can we get a run?  Nine? No, dude. Okay, so that kind of confirms to me that we definitely don't get as many rank points fighting higher ranks than we do ranks of our own. Oh my goodness. It's been so long since I've played against this Obitoer. Is this technically even Obitoer? Do they just count them as like 10 tails? I guess it would still be Obitoer. Give me that. Let's go. Tilt attack. We talked about how good that was. I am out of subs. I've been wasting them. Playing a bit too against my advantage. Amaterasu. Right underneath. I'm glad we switched the Jutsu up. All right, let me go with. Dodge it. Oh, that move is fast. I'm going to dodge it. Okay, he didn't do it this time. Unfortunately, Sasuke got hit by a human boulder. That is unfortunate. This guy's has range. Oh, and he steps back a little on his combo. Okay, I see you. I get it now. I get now. Oh, beautiful air. Oh, Sasuke, look the other way, man. Oh, Neji, that was sick. Okay. We're actually not too far behind. I thought we were really losing, but we're only, you know, sort of losing. Inferno style. That'll do just fine. Grab this man. Crush him to all that shallows. I forgot this game is good-looking. I forget just how good-looking it is sometimes. Guard assist as well. If you don't know, the assists have different functionalities. Some are attack assist. Some are don't do it, dude. Okay, he's got the cool DNA sword. I've actually never fully understood what that was in the series. Oh my God, but it hurts. It definitely hurts. 100% does hurt. Oh, how did he catch me? The range. We're still alive, but barely. What is going on? It's a boss fight. Stop it. You know what? Hold on. If you're going to do all that, let me do a bit of this. The double susano combo. That's right. And looks like somebody just ran out of time. Snipe this man, Sasuke. R1, the double susano. Let's go. That was sick. I love, I don't actually awaken too often in this game. It's not for any other reason, but when me and my friend play, we tend not to use awakenings. Just because we like the base gameplay so much. But man, are they sick. Dude, stop. I'm just trying to sub everything I can't even see. We got them on the ropes. We got them. Choji, don't do this, man. Choji. No, Nezzy. Oh, no, Nezzy, you did that. Popped me in and out of reality. That's just a grab. For a grab, we popped it out of reality. Okay, we got a sub. Tilt move just to get him out of the air. Inferno style. We won that trade. Run up. Grab this, man. No blocking allowed. I see you over there. I'm going to do it again. Grab this, man. Dude, were you blocking? All right. Now that he's got done flipping. Reads. Okay. All right. It didn't really, it's not the quickest mix. All right. Good taps. All right. Back up because we were losing that, I think. Oh, so fast. Every time I read that, I'm just a little too late. I'm fine. Wow. I couldn't even block. I'm really bad at reacting to that. Don't do it again. Okay. Now we have a game on our hands. I'm charging at him. Let's go. Okay. Okay. It's fine. I'm just mashing for wake up. Let's go. You got to hold that. I'm mashing out of here. All right. We gave two as well. This time, Atachi didn't take too much damage. It was mostly Sasuke doing the fighting, but still, you know what? Hold on. Let's take a look at our, our ranked points here as well. Oh, I'm just going through it. I'm going through it right now. I was sure that guy was either on my rank or slightly above mine, but I guess he was under and I guess that makes sense. All I'm doing is going to rank match quick search and it'll put you up against pretty much any rank in the game. Just whoever has a lobby open, like let's see one moment, please. Let's see who we connect to this time. Here we have a great Sage rank 53 and he kicked me. Yeah. A lot of, if they're too high rank, they will kick you. All right. Well, we do go up in rank with a win. So if we're able to pull it off here, we will finally get that rank up. Man, it's just going to come down to, I don't know whether or not we're actually going to be able to do it. This is going to be the last video, the last game of the video. So the Uchiha brothers got to pull out the stops here. Okay. I am, I am itachi. I don't know why I was confused there for a second. All right. Oh, Neji. I didn't even see him. I thought that was me jumping fireball. It's going to barely miss. Poonai. I know he was throwing some out himself. Let's go. We're in there. Doesn't sub. He's saving it for later into almighty push. He just now got the assist. He is using the two classic. I would say these are the classic ultimate ninja storm assist. Neji and almighty push. Burn up. Let's go. Burn up parts. Oh no. Burn up. Love that move. Just get, get you out of any situation for free. Fireball just in case he was trying to do anything there. That's not going to work. I forgot. I have that set to that. Lower his attack real quick. I never throw out those stat lowering ones. Oh, the back step wasn't good enough. Good assist usage. Try to combo into that. My assist should be here shortly. Let's go. Oh, flare up. This is going to be huge damage. Let me seal this guy away. I always thought this ultimate was a little underwhelming. It's definitely an older one though. It's just a, oh, the birds got stuck. No. If my tilt move gets stuffed, you know it's going to be a bad day. I couldn't get away. We're going to have to spend the last bit we have. Let's go. Does he block this? He does. Good enough. Okay. I'm actually not too worried about that. I went for it. All right. Looking for almighty push or the nezzy assist. Oh, no. Oh, my, the pool got me.  That was really smart. Okay. He still has more than a bar left. I was really hoping we could even that up. Okay. Okay. That's fine. We didn't even get away from the fireball. It's not fine. Grab. No, he's going to trade with us. Oh, the birds right through it. Right there after his teammate tag. That's fine. Flame control does help. No movement. No movement. I'm not trying to see it right now. Let's go. Oh, no. That's horrible. I couldn't get the tag. Roll out. Oh, that combo. That's classic pay. I've been hit by that before. That definitely felt familiar. Dave didn't want to get grabbed. All right. This should kill them. I'm not even going to do anything fancy. Shuriken into the blast. That's going to be good enough. Nezzy tried to stop us there though. Whether or not we can come back. I have no idea. It's going to be hard for sure. Fireball. Just to start it off. Flame control. I'm looking for anything, dude. You know what? Let's throw a little shuriken. Let's just, you know, get a flavor. This is like seasoning. This is the seasoning of Nardo's storm. I'm going in. Oh, my God. He went in. Not fast enough. We got a sub though. We got a sub. That doesn't win that. That's fine. All right. Set these out. Just so we. They're going to trade. Where are they? Oh, they were already eating you. Why did I sub? I don't know why I didn't sub. I wasn't thinking. I wasn't looking at my health bar. I was just, I was looking for my kunai. I was like, let me make sure the kunai make contact first. But great games. We couldn't get it done at the last match. Still a lot of fun though. Huge. I'm so glad to be back to this game.

In 1988, I remember that year because I was eight, I was losing teeth. I was standing in front of the library and Linda Burton Brooks walked by and she asked my grandmother if I could come into the library.  She would give us any and everything we needed, especially her time. Going forward, this library shaped my life when it came to research, the teen center, especially the librarians. They were all women.  I remember having so many meetings there about my culture and as a culture keeper, Linda sent me off to college. She got me so many books. I loved it. I literally studied abroad in Africa because of the books. She's like my mentor and I keep a very large picture of her in my offices and in my classrooms. I'm an educator and I don't teach without Linda Burton Brooks, Sojourner Truth or Harriet Tubman pictures in my room. My name is Tishelle and I'm an educator here in San Francisco, California. I have helped 1,700 students or more go to college. My story starts with SFPL.


My name is Leonard Witt. I'm president of the European Archaeological Council. Actually, the official name is in Latin. That's of course the compromise in Europe already. And my sign says Europe. I really like that. I really like that. But it's all about what can the archaeological community do to be more influential. That was my title. And you would have shown up anyhow, I think. First, some words about European Archaeological Council. I'll be quick on that one. That's an organization of organizations, governmental organizations, who deal with archaeology throughout Europe. We are active in 28 countries. But there are more organizations behind it. For instance, Belgium, you've got three. UK, you've got four. Germany, you've got 17. They're not all a member, but we deal with 28 countries. What we do is every year we have annual symposium. The next one is in Dublin. Then it says 20 years, so there will be a feast. You can still send in an abstract if you want to make a contribution to that subject. OK, what we do more? We've got working groups. We've been active on these issues. We come up with guidelines. We publish. Now, these are all books. But now we publish digitally. So internet archaeology is our latest two publications are on internet archaeology. And we made some small leaflet so that the old fashioned archaeologists are satisfied as well. OK, that's what we do. We've got our strategic document. That's the Amersfoort agenda. And there are all nice things in it. And actually, we're working with that document. So that is the European Archaeological Council, a governmental organization. So state agencies, things like that. But the point, and that's my first point, when you're a governmental organization, that's something really different from an NGO. So the European Archaeological Council cannot engage in advocacy. So we cannot stand up for archaeology in Europe and make a point of it to politicians or whatever, because most of the time we are civil servants. But we can do other things and promote that other people do. And we got a really weak point in European archaeology who is standing up for archaeology to who. And that's actually the crash course I want to take you into. OK, five steps became six. I just mentioned five. My wife said take five, and then I came up with six.  Sophie, you should say yes. My point is that it's very rare that archaeologists know anything about how Europe works. But at least you should know the basics. So you better pay attention now, because the basics are real. It's very complicated, and you can make it very complicated. But the basics are actually quite simple. So understanding the system, understanding how Europe works, and then you might put your problems on the right table. If you've got one to solve a problem and put it on the wrong table, you're lost, and that's a waste of energy. OK, I'm going to understanding Europe. These are the three most important governmental organizations that are behind it. They have all got it, but they all have one thing in common. These organizations started to come up after World War II. And that's a good reason for that. Last year I gave a keynote lecture on that, so I won't repeat myself. But it's all about prosperity, peace, using culture and education, things like that, in order to have a prosperous world and to live in peace. That's the main goal of these organizations. I won't go into UNESCO, that's the World Organization, but of course it's very relevant for Europe as well. But I will talk about these two. So this is the result of what these organizations produce. A lot, these are all treaties. A lot of treaties. So the countries you come from, they just sign up, and say, what is in these treaties? They say yes to that. So who knows what is in these treaties? You barely know. But it might be important, because if you know what is in these treaties, you might remember, and you might remind governments or governmental organizations what they have to live up to. For instance, the World Heritage Treaty, almost 190 countries signed the ratified World Heritage Treaty. And it's not only about World Heritage Site, it says also we're going to take care of the Heritage Treaty Article 5. OK, I wasn't going into the UNESCO Convention. And now we see something peculiar, almost no legislation or treaties for the, yeah, there are lots of treaties under the European Union, but not for the protection of heritage. They're at the Council of Europe. And there's a reason for that. And you have to know that reason. You have to understand that. Otherwise, you might get lost in the European space. The European Union, that's the first one I want to talk about. OK, a little bit of legislation. This is the Lisbon Treaty, the Constitution. It's the Constitution of the European Union. And it has nice words for culture and cultural heritage in it. That's OK. And alls and promos and so it's a good thing. And so you can go to the European Union and expect something of it. But there's one dissentence you have to remember, excluding any harmonization of the laws and the regulations of the member states. So that's one of the principles of the European Union. Whatever can be regulated on a lower level, on the state level, on the country level, that's what it should be. And even the European Union doesn't have jurisdiction to come up with rules to protect the heritage. It doesn't have jurisdiction. It says in its constitution, we don't have jurisdiction. So it's useless to go to the European Union and ask them to come up with some kind of directive to say, well, we're going to harmonize all these different levels of protection throughout Europe. It's all about subsidiarity. They won't do it. They don't have jurisdiction. And it's political, unthinkable that it will happen right now. I mean, with Brexit and all that. So of course, you could argue that the Lisbon Treaty has to be changed because of archaeology. Waste of energy. Waste of energy. Don't go into that. Don't go into that. That's no good. So that's about the legal part. But there are lots of things are possible with the European Union. They come up with environmental directives. And of course, the agricultural landscape, the agricultural policy is very important for the cultural landscape. I mean, it's all about income support of farmers. And what do we get back from these farmers? But we're supporting our farmers. And what do they do for them? That's an interesting question. But that's also very big, the common agricultural policy. But an elicit trade, of course, it's about trading. The EU has jurisdiction on trading artifacts. So there are directives right now. As UNESCO has a treaty for that, a two-treaties union. And even the Council of Europe thought of that. So there are directives regulating elicit trade of artifacts from illegal excavations or antiquities from museums. And that's important. The European Union can regulate that, because that is a jurisdiction.  OK, but above all, what can the European Union do? Support come up with the European Heritage Year, recommendations of ministers saying, and there's a lot of money over there. So I know that lots of archaeology throughout Europe deliver on the European Union. Because there's so much money in this research program. So that's something, when you look at these programs, use them, but you also can influence what programs are needed in order to promote and enhance the archaeology throughout Europe. That's so money. That's the very important thing that the European Union can provide. And actually, it does. And it does quite successfully. And I must say, quite handy, I'm not an archaeologist. It's myself. I'm always praising myself as the outsider. Of course, I've been for 20 years now. So actually, I cannot do that with the good state. And there's a very interesting thing going on since the Brugge Declaration under the presidency of Belgium. They thought, well, heritage is important. They came up with recommendations. And they installed a so-called informal EU reflection group on heritage protection. And that is a big colleague of mine who's in there. And they're close to the European Commission. And they're reflecting on all kinds of directories who come from the European Union. And actually, they produced a very good paper on the common agricultural policy, because they're starting right now again with that policy, with revising that policy. OK, two minutes. No, Council of Europe. Can I do a two minutes? OK, when you want to know about the Council of Europe, you have to know what they're involved in. Two things, they're a very poor organization, understaffed, but again, give legitimization to what we do. So you have to know their strategy. And if you come up with something, let it fit in the strategy. Well, how do you do that? You have to know that organization. That once in every year, this steering committee comes together in Strasbourg. And you can be an observer. EEC is an observer. And you can legitimize actions you do. And right now, EEC is doing that. We're coming up with guidance for making choices. So this organization can come up with treaties. They're legitimized to come up with treaties. So you have to know what to do. And it's our home base. The Velletta Treaty is in Strasbourg. The Council of Europe came up with the Velletta Treaty. Never think that the EU does. OK, seven steps. I'll be short on that. Understanding the system, know what table you have to address. Setting realistic goals. A lot of my colleagues, they want to change the world. And they say, well, the market-driven system isn't all right, and they want to change that. But we're not going to nationalize all these excavation companies. Come up with, say, something like more money for important excavations. That's a realistic proposal, but not changing the system. And keep it simple. Come up with simple answers. Make coalitions. For instance, the agricultural organization, they might be interested in that agriculture policy as well. And they are interested in income. So you can make a coalition with them. And there are more coalitions possible. OK, facts and figures are important. Of course, these are the NAAC facts and figures. But we did an investigation ourselves. You have to present them to this organization, and that works.  And that's interesting. So who knows the NAAC in that? OK, that's very good, very sound research has been done. I like it. But what is the outcome? I mean, you have to present it and put it on the right table, and say, and have the right proposals to it. OK, so that is important. Hey, eight steps. Oh, my god, I will never hand it. Timing. Don't go to an argument. My archaeologists in the Netherlands, they go to parliament when there's just been decided on the budget for that year. And then one week later, they go to parliament. No, no, how parliament works. And when you come up with your proposal, if you don't do that right, well, it's a waste of energy again. Attitude, what can you? Stop talking among your archaeologists. Stop talking. I mean, that doesn't stop complaining all the time. Stop complaining about politicians. It doesn't help. They're human beings also.  And don't expect to. OK, seven, save energy. Stop talking about changing the political convention. It's just a waste of time. It won't happen. But what we can do is make an analysis of what is wrong in Europe and what can be done about that. And then you might think of some legal means. But the velet is not going to change. Be satisfied with the velet convention. It's all in there. It says, air, archaeology is important. You have to protect it. You have to connect it with spatial planning. You have to provide financial things and cooperate on an international level. It's all in there. And of course, you can. But you won't end up with a better treaty. I know that. And try and do something. I mean, it can be very simple. But we're all talking, talking, talking among each other. But I know for 20 years now, I think two letters have been sent to parliament in 20 years within Dutch archaeology. Whoever sent a letter, an attitude happened to a minister. OK, whoever, to parliament. OK, not bad. I want to read these numbers and change the proposal into realistic things. But at least do something. Do the simple thing. Don't think about what. Do the simple thing. This might be a good proposal. Put it on the right table at the right time and see what happens. So and then, well, this might happen. But then I even got back, which is on it. And you might fail, but at least you failed. And you might feel better next time. And you might be successful. And you might be surprised that people listen to you because your archaeologies are likable. That's two minutes. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. Thank you.
