Whitman-Hanson WILL
Whitman Hanson WILL is part of a regional collaborative, the
Brockton Area Prevention Collaborative
. Whitman Hanson WILL’s mission is to save lives from substance use and prevent the damage it can do to individuals, families, and the local community.
To do this, we educate young people with accurate information and tools to cope with life’s challenges, and to help them understand the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol. We connect individuals and families with the resources they need to become better informed. We also work with leaders in the community to build a system of support in every neighborhood.

Historical Tidbit:
Home Made Ice Cream
|
In the early 1900s, Ice Cream "Parlors" were rare. If you wanted ice cream, you had to make it yourself with a Hand-Crank Ice Cream Maker. In 1843, Nancy Johnson got a patent on a machine to make ice cream by hand. This device provided a real treat to just about everyone.
My great grandparents had one that was a little keg about 18 inches tall and 1 foot across with a metal cylinder in the middle that was run by a hand crank (handle). The cylinder was placed in the wooden keg and ice from the iceman or from an ice-house and salt would be placed between the cylinder and keg. Milk, sugar and flavoring, such as vanilla, would be placed in the cylinder and as this was turned and cooled, a thin layer of milk would start to freeze. The rotating paddles scraped off the frozen milk and left a new layer. As the milk became stiff it turned into the eagerly awaited ice cream. This process took from 20 to 30 minutes, depending upon the amount of salt used.
When the process was completed and the paddles lifted out there was a little ice cream sticking on them and if you were quick enough you got to lick them to get the first taste of the awaited treat.

Architecture & Place-making:
From MIT Whitepaper called
Places in the Making
(2013)
"
While the place is important, the "making" builds connections, creates civic engagement, and empowers citizens—in short, it builds social capital ... The relationships that grow out of the "making" are equal to, if not more important than, the places that result."
The above quote is about public places that invite spontaneous collaboration, discussion or gaming (chess & checker tables) and what they do for us as a community. When we surround ourselves with thoughtful ideas, we are nurtured and more come.
“An idea is salvation by imagination.”
~ Frank Lloyd Wright
“To create, one must first question everything.”
~ Eileen Gray
"For me, architecture is not just creating a space to protect people but to make them dream as well." ~ Mario Botta
"I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me." ~Maya Lin
|
The space that we surround ourselves with can feed our soul and inspire it... whether it be architecture, art, or nature. We can do this for our selves, in our own home and family and in our communities.
~ Jacquie
