LAWRENCE MARITIME TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM Mike Piskur† ABSTRACT: The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Maritime Transportation System (“MTS”) bears critical importance to the economic competitiveness of Canada and the United States (“US”). Maritime transportation comprises both a major economic driver and job creator for both countries. As a cost-effective and highly efficient means of transporting raw materials and finished products to market, the MTS is essential to agricultural, mining, and manufacturing supply chains that frequently stretch across the US-Canada border and beyond. Yet management of the MTS is fragmented, with responsibility for various system components scattered across numerous federal agencies in both the US and Canada. This fragmentation results in a dearth of transparency, confusing and disjointed governmental authority, higher user costs, barriers to establishing new markets, and overall reduced system competitiveness.

  • Two Early Twentieth-Century Kingston-Area Cottages
    Building for the Outdoors: Two Early Twentieth-Century Kingston-Area Cottages The Langenheim cottage on Wolfe Island in the Thousand Islands region and the Richardson cottage on Thirteen Island Lake are two Kingston-area cottages which, although built under different circumstances, are grounded in the cultural value of the "outdoor experience," evident in aspects of their commission, design, and construction. Through these two very different cottages we will investigate building for the outdoors: we will discuss attitudes held in the late 19th century about the value of city-dwellers' activities in the outdoor environment; and, after looking at these two buildings' histories, we will analyze the rustic and the primitive allusions present in these cottages. 1 BY KAREN M.
