It documents the prominence of the Lyon family in the industry and in the community for most of the ninety years of Anglo settlement in the area. The report also presents a well documented argument for the property's significance as a sheep ranching landscape which exhibits a full range of resource types and integrity. The SHPO concurs that the property is eligible under these two criteria. However, the eligibility of the property under criterion A as an example of the socio1economic relationships between Anglo settlers and Native Americans is poorly documented and appears to rest primarily on the evidence of intermarriage between the Lyon family and members of the local Hoopa community. The report indicates that this intermarriage did not result in a blending of cultures or in the Lyon family participating in local Native American ceremonies or cultural life. The fact that the ranch employed Native Americans is evidence of economic interactionldependency, but the report fails to provide any detail regarding this relationship and how it was representative or unique within the area. The SHPO does not concur that the property is eligible under criterion A for its association with the establishment and development of social and economic relationships between Native Americans and settlers in the Bald Hills area.

    THE LYONS FAMILY Assem bled by CHARLTON HAVARD LYONS for His Grandchildren This Genealogy is based on data from Dr. G. M. G. Stafford's: GENERAL LEROY AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, A GENEALOGY, and Annie Elizabeth Miller's: OUR FAMILY CIRCLE, and from members of the family and other sources. Letters from Dr. G. M. G. Stafford to C. H. Lyons 1165 Stanford Avenue Baton Rouge, Louisiana June 10, 1948 "My dear Charlton: "Many thanks for your recent letters relative to my genealogical efforts. We old fellows do not get many tokens of commendation especially where our 'hobbies' are concerned, such as your letter expressed, but they are al- ways gratefully received and are very soothing to our pride. We are told that pride was the cause of the fall of Lucifer and his fellow angels, so it is not a new essence in the makeup of God's creatures, and therefore we should not be held too culpable in still retaining a little of it. I have certainly en- joyed my genealogical work. It has been a great source of pleasure to me through these years of my retirement. Always being of an active tempera- ment I just had to have an outlet to a naturally restless disposition, and genealogy, in which I was always interested, came as a great solace to me. "We have a fine lot of forebears, from those uncompromising old Puri- tans of New England to those hot-blooded Southerners of Virginia and South Carolina. When old Grandpa Wright came to the 'Deep South' and married a girl whose progenitors had never been farther north than South Carolina, he mingled two strains of very different elements, and we are the result- and according to my way of thinking, not too bad a sample of good Americanism.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

Wesley Allen ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: The document on which this thesis is based was created under the terms of a cooperative agreement between the National Park Service (NPS) and Sonoma State University (SSU) to create a cultural resource appendix to the Fire Management Plan (FMP) of Redwood National and State parks (RNSP). The NPS is currently in the process of updating the RNSP FMP and Environmental Assessment (EA) that was originally prepared in 2004. This plan addresses activities related to fuels management, prescribed burning, and wildland fire suppression. The park's existing 5 year FMP and EA will be expanded to include new fuel treatment areas within the park and will address any new national fire management policies that have been adopted since the original FMP.

  • Situating Gangs Within Scotland's Illegal Drugs Market(S)
    Trends Organ Crim https://doi.org/10.1007/s12117-017-9328-1 Situating gangs within Scotland’sillegaldrugsmarket(s) Robert McLean1 & James A. Densley2 & Ross Deuchar1 # The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract The Scottish government’s(2008) publication ‘The road to recovery: A new approach to tackling Scotland’s drug problem’ elaborates and outlines the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) desire to make Scotland ‘drug free’ by 2019. To achieve this objective, the Scottish Government’s(2015) ‘Serious Organised Crime Strategy’ (SSOCS) entails dismantling networks of drug supply. Yet missing from this strategic planning is a) recognition of how, if at all, different types of gangs are involved in drug supply, and b) how drug supply processes actually work. Therefore, this article seeks to extend McLean’s(JDeviantBehav, 2017) Scottish gang model, which specifies a typology of gangs in Scotland, in an effort to locate precise levels of gang involvement in the drugs market. This is achieved by drawing upon Pearson and Hobbs’ (2001) hierarchical model of the UK’s illegal drug(s) market. In-depth interviews with 35 offenders involved in criminal networks and five practitioners, indicate that recreational Youth Street Gangs are really only involved in ‘social supply’. Youth Criminal Gangs are primarily involved in commercially motivated dealing at the low- to mid-levels, including bulk-buying between the retail-to-wholesale markets. And enterprising Serious Organised Crime Gangs operate from the middle-to-apex market level. Conclusions which situate this gang typology within the illegal drug market(s) are used to put forward recommendations aimed at dismantling of drug supply networks.

From Clan Forsyth Society A Wee Bit of Scottish Humor The Bagpiper By Gary Martz Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop to ask for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and saw that the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends.

Our concept was based on serving fresh brewed beer with quality and creative food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. When we opened, brewpubs were expanding throughout the country. Since then, the brewpub concept has slowed, but not Big Bear. We like to think of our very loyal guests as family, and after 21 years that family continues to grow. We have a strong foundation in this community and are very proud of that achievement. Behind the scenes of any successful restaurant is a devoted staff... we have many who have been with us since the beginning. Consistency breeds success and for that we thank our crew. A BRIEF HISTORY OF CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA A gentleman by the name Henry “Bud” Lyons obtained a vast amount of land between 1911 and 1939 that totaled over 20,000 acres. Although the land consisted of marshy wilderness, Lyons teamed with workers from the Bahamas, cleared and drained the land and used it to grow beans. This earned Lyons the nickname “Titan of the Bean Patch.” In 1952, Lyons passed away and left his large land holdings to his family. Lyon’s family brought in a head of 5,000 cattle and converted the land to be used for ranching.

  • Van Kirk, S. 1994
    HISTORICAL INFORMATION on REDWOOD CREEK Prepared by Susie Van Kirk for Vicki Ozaki Redwood National Park March l994 Purchase Order l443PX848094ll2 2 In contrast to Mad and Eel rivers, historical references on Redwood Creek in the Arcata Union newspaper are limited. The following summarizes those references along with two other sources and information from seven interviews. Snyder (l907) specifically identified seven fish species from Redwood Creek: a new sucker species, Catostomus humoldtianus; a stickleback, Gasterosteus cataphractus; two sculpins, Cottus asper and C. aleuticus; and three anadromous species, Salmo clarkii (cutthroat), Oncorhynchus kisutch (coho or silver salmon), and Salmo irideus (rainbow). He referred to steelhead, of which no specimens were taken, as S. rivularis. He noted that cutthroat were abundant in all the coastal streams, "fairly swarming" in those streams that had not been fished to excess and rainbow were seen in every coastal stream examined. In his notes on the Chilula Indians of Redwood Creek, Goddard (l9l4) stated that their use of weirs in the Creek was for catching lamprey eels and trout rather than salmon. The salmon were generally taken in the small tributaries by spears or at the base of certain waterfalls with nets. In l890, the military estalished a fish hatchery at Camp Gaston in the Hoopa Valley and as an ancillary facility, what was probably an egg-taking station on Redwood Creek (AU, 8 Feb. l890; 5 Sept. l89l; l9 March l892; ll June l892; 27 Aug. L892). References indicate that the facility on Redwood was at Bair's ranch, which is shown on the l909 Lentell map in the east half of the east half section 28, 7N3E on Minor Creek and it may well be that the eggs were actually taken from Minor.

  • Dr. Thomas Pearse Lyons Is an Irish Entrepreneur Whose Vision for Improving Global Agriculture Has Built a Multibillion-Dollar International Business
    Dr. Thomas Pearse Lyons is an Irish entrepreneur whose vision for improving global agriculture has built a multibillion-dollar international business. In the late 1970s, Lyons immigrated to the United States with his young family and a dream. His vision — to sustain the planet and all things living in it by finding ways to apply his yeast fermentation expertise to agricultural challenges — came to life in his home garage with $10,000. Today, that vision is put to work by Alltech’s global team of more than 5,000 people around the world. Alltech focuses on improving animal, crop and human health and performance through its innovative use of yeast fermentation, enzyme technology, algae and nutrigenomics. Its mission has always been guided by Dr. Lyons’ early commitment to the “ACE principle” – a promise that the company’s work must have a positive impact on the Animal, the Consumer and the Environment. Dr. Lyons is first and foremost an entrepreneur and tireless innovator, with a keen scientific mind. His scientific expertise, combined with an acute business sense, has helped revolutionize the animal feed industry through the introduction of natural ingredients to animal feed. He is widely regarded as an inspirational leader and communicator. He lives with passion and purpose — rising before dawn to begin communicating with colleagues around the world, issuing daily “One Minute Charge” motivational messages and traveling incessantly to meet his team members and customers in person. He has built Alltech into the fastest-growing company in the global animal health and nutrition industry through innovative technology and strong branding.
