That potential lies not only in the minds of the young, but in the untapped abilities of workers who must be retrained especially in fields where there will be high-wage jobs. An educated workforce creates a better economy for us all, translating into higher pay for local people and a better quality of life for their families, helping existing businesses be more profitable, attracting new employers from outside the area and helping to spawn start-up companies. An educated community makes for better citizens and brighter futures for all. With your support, Germanna will continue to expand to meet our communities’ needs. With your support, we will move forward with plans for a permanent campus in Stafford County and continue to seek ways to better serve Caroline and Madison County residents. With your support, we will continue to expand our Fredericksburg Campus in Spotsylvania, to grow our respected nursing program at our Locust Grove Campus in Orange County, offer new programs at our Daniel echnologyT Center in Culpeper and offer classes at Dahlgren. “Let us think of Germanna is working hard to respond quickly to provide students with the education as the knowledge, skills and attitude that lead to jobs that pay well and give local companies a competitive edge in a challenging global market. means of developing Nearly 80 percent of Germanna students remain in our area after our greatest abilities, completing their college work, investing the skills they’ve learned in their local communities.

Earl Dickinson Building for repairs, Germanna Community College was among the Top 50 fastest-growing two- year colleges in America for 2010-2011, according to the 2012 rankings compiled by Community College Week. GCC was ranked 45th in the nation with a 2.6 percent increase in enrollment comparing Fall 2010 and Fall 2011, climbing by 197, from 7,582 to 7,779. The Dickinson Building was reopened and fully operational in January 2013 for the beginning of the Spring semester. Germanna President David A. Sam said the ranking shows the college continued to serve the community without missing a beat despite the quake. The increase in enrollment that semester also bucked national trends in enrollment, which were beginning to reflect a downturn. LEED Silver Certification for SEBIC Germanna’s new Science & Engineering Building and Information Commons, which opened in 2012, was officially certified “Silver” for Leadership in Energy and Engineering Design (LEED). Features of the “green” building include a vegetative roof that provides natural insulation, a rain water harvesting system used for flushing toilets, sensors that automatically turn off lights and adjust window shades, a wind turbine capable of powering laptops and charging cell phones and laboratory exhausts that harvest heated or cooled air to cut down on heating and cooling costs. IES Design Award The Germanna Community College Science & Engineering Building and Information Commons at the Fredericksburg Area Campus that was designed by Clark Nexsen Architecture and Engineering, won four Illumination Engineering Society Illumination Awards of Merit for 2013. The green building is designed to save energy by automatically adjusting lighting and raising and lowering blinds to use natural light more efficiently. The IES Illumination Awards provides a unique opportunity for public recognition of professionalism, ingenuity, and originality in lighting design based upon the individual merit of each entry judged against specific criteria. 4 Germanna Community College • 2012-2013 Annual Report to the Community U.Va.

We provide descriptions of the physical landscape, the regional setting and its history, and the refuge setting, including its history, current administration, programs, and specifi c refuge resources. Much of what we describe below refl ects the refuge environment as it was in 2007. Since that time, we have been writing, compiling and reviewing this document. As such, some minor changes likely occurred to local conditions or refuge programs as we continued to implement under current management. However, we do not believe those changes appreciably affect what we present below. The Physical Landscape Watershed Our project area is part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, a drainage basin of 64,000 square miles encompassing parts of the states of Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The waters of that basin fl ow into the Chesapeake Bay, the nation’s largest estuary. The watershed contains an array of habitat types, including mixed hardwood forests typical of the Appalachian Mountains, grasslands and agricultural fi elds, lakes, rivers, and streams, wetlands and shallow waters, and open water in tidal rivers and the estuary. That diversity supports more than 2,700 species of plants and animals, including Service trust resources such as endangered or threatened species, migratory birds, and anadromous fi sh (www.fws.gov/chesapeakebay/ coastpgm.htm).

    Defining the Rappahannock Indigenous Cultural Landscape Prepared By: Scott M. Strickland Julia A. King G. Anne Richardson Martha McCartney Virginia R. Busby With Contributions From: The Rappahannock Tribe of Virginia G. Anne Richardson, Chief Cochise Fortune Faye Fortune Colonel John Fortune (USA, ret.) Judith Fortune Mark Fortune Dana Mulligan Barbara B. Williams Prepared For: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay The Chesapeake Conservancy Annapolis, Maryland The Rappahannock Tribe of Virginia Indian Neck, Virginia St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland December 2016 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this project was to identify and represent the Rappahannock Indigenous Cultural Landscape between Port Royal/Port Conway and Urbanna, Virginia. The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The project was administered by the Chesapeake Conservancy and the fieldwork undertaken and report prepared by St. Mary’s College of Maryland. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the earliest years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept was developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes along the Smith Trail, both as they existed in the early 17th century and as they exist today. The Rappahannock River watershed was identified as a priority watershed area for ICL mapping in 2015. For this project, then, the mapping effort assembled a mix of qualitative and quantitative data, including tribal and non-tribal stakeholder input, documentary research, and archaeological, environmental, and ecological evidence.
