Arthur Young SAMUEL E. HAYES It's just about two years ago that the Seattle public was—well, just a little bit startled, by the announcement that without saying anything to anybody one man had developed a nifty cighteen-hole golf course and laid out a most alluring country club-residential district overlooking Lake Washington and the Sand Point Aviation Field. Moreover, it was a first class course and the greens, in particular, were quite marvelous. He hadn't asked any help and had spent nobody s money but his own and here was a links all ready for play. Golfers and the public refused to believe it. Golf courses cost a lot of money and no one man would be so foolish, they said. But there it was and there it is. And if anybody will visit the Sand Point Golf and Country Club on a Saturday afternoon and will inspect the list of those who have bought homesites there, he will agree that maybe Mr. Hayes knew what he was about and some of the rest of us didn't. Mr. Hayes, like a lot of us, has a hobby. It is the city beautiful. And the Sand Point Golf and Country Club is the fruition of one of his dreams. When the present emerald fairways were but briars and brambles and forbidding forest he visioned the day when that sightly expanse of upland would become the site of a model community. So he set out to bring it about. And as i he was in the fortunate position of being able to do so without asking aid of anyone, he set ! out to make his dream come true. The result is there for the world to see. a credit to Mr. Hayes and a source of pride to the city. ! THE TOWN CRIER JUNE 15, 1929 row" of an independent in public life.

  • A Arte De Correr Na Chuva
    Apresentação Querido leitor, No verão de 1986, tive o imenso prazer de participar do Grande Prêmio de Fórmula 1 de Detroit. Estava acompanhando um amigo que tinha acesso a todos os lugares do circuito. Lembro-me de ter ficado atrás de uma barreira de concreto, maravilhado com quão pequenos, embora incrivelmente poderosos, os carros de Fórmula 1 eram. Tão rápidos e tão perto — a apenas um braço de distância... Um piloto era, obviamente, mais rápido que os outros. Ele largou na pole position e, depois de perder muitas posições por causa de um problema no pneu, retomou a liderança e venceu a corrida. Lembro-me de ter visto seu capacete verde passando. Nunca tive o prazer de conhecer Ayrton Senna, mas tive o prazer de assistir à sua corrida... e de vê-lo vencer de maneira gloriosa. Sou fã de Fórmula 1 desde menino e sempre gostei muito de assistir às corridas na teve. Mas não há nada como ser fisgado. O cheiro, o som. Já participei de corridas em clubes, e estar dentro de um carro potente faz a adrenalina ficar a mil. São estes os sentimentos que tentei capturar em A Arte de Correr na Chuva. Quando o personagem Enzo surgiu na minha mente e começou a conversar comigo, percebi que era a voz perfeita para conduzir estes sentimentos. Um cachorro é um observador elementar. Não tendo como pronunciar palavras, analisa tudo o que está à sua volta. Os sentidos de um cão são apuradíssimos. Seu foco é singular. Enzo, o cachorro do meu romance, é um verdadeiro estudante do mundo ao seu redor.

  • Utah History Encyclopedia
    PAINTING AND SCULPTURE IN UTAH Avard Fairbanks with models for "Pony Express" William W. Major (1804-1854) was the first Mormon painter to arrive in Utah (in 1848). From Great Britain, he spent five years headquartered in Great Salt Lake City painting portraits and making visits to various locations in the surrounding area in order to paint both landscapes and the faces of other settlers as well as of leaders among the indigenous Native American tribes. Meanwhile, virtually everything in the city of Salt Lake that could be in any way called sculpture was created by either the British woodcarver Ralph Ramsay (1824-1905) or the British stonecarver William Ward (1827-93). The three most significant pioneer painters were Danquart Weggeland (1827-1918), a Norwegian; C.C.A. Christensen (1831-1912), a Dane; and George M. Ottinger (1833-1917), originally from Pennsylvania. Christensen′s greatest achievement was the painting of numerous somewhat awkward but charming scenes showing episodes either from early Mormon history or from the Book of Mormon. Like Christensen, neither Ottinger nor Weggeland had much formal artistic training, but each produced a few somewhat more sophisticated figure and landscape paintings and advised their students to go east where they could study in Paris. Certainly, that is what Deseret′s young sculpture students would do; Parisian training played a major role in the artistic evolution of famed romantic realist bronze sculptor Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944), of Springville, Utah, as well as in that of Mt. Rushmore′s sculptor, Gutzun Borglum (1867-1941) and his talented brother, Solon Borglum (1868­ 1922), both of Ogden, Utah.

  • Chapter 2: Physical Characteristics of Sphagnum-Dominated Peatlands in Western Washington
    CHAPTER 2: PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SPHAGNUM-DOMINATED PEATLANDS IN WESTERN WASHINGTON Ranging from tidal flats and low elevation sand dunes to the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the topography of western Washington encompasses a great diversity of landforms and parent materials. The landforms in this area provide a variety of opportunities for peatland development, varying with the topography and physiography. An ideal framework in which to discuss the physical characteristics of western Washington peatlands is that of physiographic regions, covered in the first section of this chapter. Next descriptors of western Washington climate and rainfall are given, and a summary of the role of climate in peatland formation is provided. Lastly, some characteristics of western Washington Sphagnum-dominated peatlands and their watersheds are presented, followed by a general discussion of developmental pathways and isolating mechanisms in peatlands. 2.1 Physiography and Distribution A number of authors have described the Washington area, developing their own system of physiographic regions, also called provinces (Easterbrook and Rahm 1970; Fenneman 1931; Franklin and Dyrness 1973; Hansen 1947; Rigg 1958). This has resulted in similar systems with slightly different regional names and boundaries. This paper will follow those established by Rigg (1958), although other sources will be used to supplement descriptions where regions are similar. Of the seven physiographic regions defined by Rigg for Washington State, four can be found within western Washington. These four provinces, the Olympic Mountain, Puget Sound, Willapa Hills and Cascade Mountain, contain the majority of Washington’s peatlands. These four main western Washington provinces contain 82% by area and 84% by number of the state’s peat resources, as identified by Rigg (1958).

    James L. Haseltine, “Mormons and the Visual Arts.” Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Vol. 1 No. 2 (1966): 17–34. Copyright © 2012 Dialogue Foundation. All Rights Reserved • A JOURNAL OF dialogue• MORMON THOUGHT MORMONS AND THE VISUAL ARTS James L. Haseltine This essay is the third in a continuing series, "An Assessment of Mormon Culture." The author, himself not a Mormon, examines the influence of the L.D.S. Church on the visual arts in Utah from pioneer times. Mr. Haseltine is Director of the Salt Lake Art Center and the author of numerous reviews and articles for professional journals; he recently produced a retrospective exhibit of Utah painting at the Art Center and did much of the research used in this essay in preparing the exhibition catalogue, "100 Years of Utah Painting." It seems curious to ask, "What support has the C h u r c h of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints given to the v i s u a l arts in Utah?" One would hardly consider as fields for fruitful exploration Baptist sup- port of the a r t s in Mississippi, Lutheran encouragement in Oregon, or Methodist patronage in Kansas. Yet in Utah perhaps such a ques- tion can b e asked, for seldom has o n e religion been so intertwined with other aspects of life. There is little doubt that Brigham Young felt a need for artists in the Salt Lake Valley very soon after the arrival of t h e first pioneers. By the mid-1850's he was instructing missionaries in foreign lands to devote special attention to t h e conversion of s k i l l e d artists, artisans, and architects.
