Volume 16 • Number 4 1999 1 Sswty New/, Nrte/ ScMaiit Letter to the Editor: Mountain Connections Slighted To the Editor: The otherwise excellent article by Pisanty-Baruch et al. ("Reporting on North America: Continental Connections," Vol. 16, no. 2) omitted a very im­ portant set of connection initiatives—those involving mountain ranges. As Vice-Chair for Mountains in the World Commission on Protected Areas for IUCN, my mountain hackles rose up. How could you, folks? In addition to birds and butterflies in migration flyway connections, and the marine path­ ways used by pelagic fishes and marine mammals, surely the great mountain spines of the western USA, Canada, and Mexico are continental connections that facilitate the flow of genes and species through wild and semi-wild mountain lands. These cross borders, and have suggested corridor initiatives such as Yellowstone to Yukon, Sky Islands of the Southwest and links to the Sierra Nevada Oriental, the greater northern Cascades, and so forth—transborder connections, which even permit movement of large carni­ vores, such as wolf and mountain lion, and hosts of other terrestrial animals. And let us not forget plants. As global warming occurs, these terrestrial path­ ways are an essential part of North America's continental connections. Lawrence S. Hamilton Island and Highlands Nature Consultancy, Charlotte, Vermont The Canon National Parks Science Scholars Program: New Round of Scholarships The Canon National Parks Science Scholars Program will award scholarships to eight doctoral students in 2000.

Krumenaker, Soulliere Returned to Board Incumbents Bob Krumenaker and Laura Soulliere will each serve a second three-year term on the Society's Board of Directors after they went unchal­ lenged in this year's round of elections. No nominations were received in re­ sponse to the call published last spring in the FORUM. Because of this, the Board decided that it would be a waste of the Society's (and our members') time and money to go through the motions of sending out ballots simply to confirm a foregone conclusion. Therefore the Board decided to cancel the balloting and return Bob and Laura for a second term, after consulting the By- Laws and finding nothing to prohibit this course of action. (However, for the future the Board feels it would be best to formalize this procedure within the By-Laws—see next item.) Bob is deputy associate regional director in the NPS office in Philadelphia; Laura is superintendent of Cane River Creole Na­ tional Historical Park in Louisiana. Their second term runs from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2002. Two Proposed Changes to Society By-Laws At the 1999 Board of Directors meeting, held in Halifax in October, the Board decided to propose to the membership two changes in the By-Laws. The first would allow (though not require) the Board to expand from the cur­ rent set number of nine (six elected and three appointed) to as many as twelve (with a majority elected and no more than five appointed). The intent of this change is to give the Board latitude to introduce a broader range of expertise and experience to its ranks. The second change formalizes a procedure whereby the Board may cancel the annual elections in cases where incumbent elected directors face no opposition (for further explanation, see the item above). We ask all GWS members to read the following proposed changes carefully: FIRST PROPOSED CHANGE: Revision of Article X-Board of Di­ rectors, Section 1, Number, Election and Term of Office, paragraph la CURRENT WORDING: (a) The business of this organization shall be managed by a Board of Di­ rectors consisting of nine (9) directors, a majority of whom must be Volume 16* Number 4 1999 3 elected, and as many as three (3) of whom may be appointed. The terms of office of the directors shall be for three (3) years. These terms shall be staggered in such manner as will allow three (3) directors to be elected or appointed each year. PROPOSED NEW WORDING: (a) The business of this organization shall be managed by a Board of Di­ rectors consisting of no fewer than nine (9) and no more than twelve (12) directors, a majority of whom must be elected, and as many as five (5) of whom may be appointed. The terms of office of the directors shall be for three (3) years. These terms shall be staggered in such manner as will al­ low no fewer than three (3) and no more than four (4) directors to be elected or appointed each year. SECOND PROPOSED CHANGE: Addition to Article X-Board of Directors, Section 3, Nomination and Elections PROPOSED NEW SECTION 3 (f) (f) In instances where one or more incumbent Directors are running for re-election, and no additional nominations of candidates to oppose the in­ cumbents are received by the deadline as detailed in Section 3 (a) of this Article, the Board may, at its discretion, issue a finding that the intent of the Membership is for the incumbents to be re-elected. Based on this finding, the Board may then, at its discretion, cancel the election proce­ dure detailed in Section 3 (b) of this Article and declare the incumbents to have been re-elected. This declaration shall have the same effect as if the election procedure detailed in Sections 3 (a-b) of this Article had been fully carried through. The Board shall publish and send to the Member­ ship both its finding and its declaration in accordance with Section 3 (e) of this Article. The Board will hold a special meeting to decide whether to enact these changes after considering comments from the membership, which we wel­ come and encourage.

    Programme of events 1988 - 2019 Welcome to the 31st Jarrow Festival Since its revival by Jarrow Councillors in 1988, the Jarrow Festival has gone on from strength to strength celebrating art, culture, education, sport and leisure activities and I know that this year's festival will not disappoint. We remain a strong, vibrant and close community, which is why we believe it is important that we continue to celebrate the Jarrow Festival every year and we hope that everyone will come along and support the many events. This year the Festival Finale will be a “Parade of Banners” from the Town Hall to Drewett's Park bringing together communities, groups and organisations from across Jarrow and culminating in a celebration of all the charitable and volunteer organisations and local volunteers in Jarrow and across South Tyneside . I am sure that despite the difficulties many of the community organisations have had this year that Jarrow Festival 2019 will be one of the most successful and enjoyable yet, particularly if we are blessed with some good weather. Roy Merrin (Chair Person Jarrow Festival Committee) Cllr Ken Stephenson (Vice Chair and Mayor South Tyneside Council) The Jarrow Festival 2019 would like to thank....... South Tyneside Council Best Wishes from Bede Ward Councillors Fay Cunningham and Margaret Peacock hope everyone enjoys the fantastic events which are taking place at our “31st Anniversary” Jarrow Festival this year.

  • Journal of a Voyage Around Arnhem Land in 1875
    JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE AROUND ARNHEM LAND IN 1875 C.C. Macknight The journal published here describes a voyage from Palmerston (Darwin) to Blue Mud Bay on the western shore of the Gulf of Carpentaria, and back again, undertaken between September and December 1875. In itself, the expedition is of only passing interest, but the journal is worth publishing for its many references to Aborigines, and especially for the picture that emerges of the results of contact with Macassan trepangers along this extensive stretch of coast. Better than any other early source, it illustrates the highly variable conditions of communication and conflict between the several groups of people in the area. Some Aborigines were accustomed to travelling and working with Macassans and, as the author notes towards the end of his account, Aboriginal culture and society were extensively influenced by this contact. He also comments on situations of conflict.1 Relations with Europeans and other Aborigines were similarly complicated and uncertain, as appears in several instances. Nineteenth century accounts of the eastern parts of Arnhem Land, in particular, are few enough anyway to give another value. Flinders in 1802-03 had confirmed the general indications of the coast available from earlier Dutch voyages and provided a chart of sufficient accuracy for general navigation, but his contact with Aborigines was relatively slight and rather unhappy. Phillip Parker King continued Flinders' charting westwards from about Elcho Island in 1818-19. The three early British settlements, Fort Dundas on Melville Island (1824-29), Fort Wellington in Raffles Bay (1827-29) and Victoria in Port Essington (1838-49), were all in locations surveyed by King and neither the settlement garrisons nor the several hydrographic expeditions that called had any contact with eastern Arnhem Land, except indirectly by way of the Macassans.

  • Developing a Management Plan for the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site
    Archaeology and the National Park Idea: Challenges for Management and Interpretation Marion Blockley Developing a Management Plan for the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site y the end of the eighteenth century, Coalbrookdale in Shropshire was famous. It had one of the largest ironworks in England—an en- terprise symbolized by the renowned Iron Bridge, the first such Bstructure ever built on a large scale (Figure 1). Abraham Darby’s Coalbrookdale Company pioneered the mass production of iron following the breakthrough in coke smelting in 1709. The ironmasters of the East Shrop- shire Coalfield went on to make the first iron wheels, rails, boat, aqueduct, and steam locomotive, as well as early steam cylinders. The great Iron Bridge was a key step in the use of iron in construction, and has become a universal symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Other industries, based on locally sour- ced materials, an industrialised working population, an advantageous trans- port network, and local entrepreneurs, also prospered. Coalport China (Fig- ure 2) and decorative tile ware in particular gained an international reputa- tion. Figure 1. The Ironbridge reflected in the River Severn. The bridge is currently swathed in scaffolding for a repaint. The Institute is using the opportunity for a detailed survey and record of the structure.
