Montana’s forestlands support our economy, our communities, our homes, and our lives. Forests have always been important to life in Montana. Have you ever sat under a tall pine tree, looked up at its branches sweeping the sky, and wondered what was happen- ing when that tree first sprouted? Some trees in Montana are 300 or 400 years old—the oldest living creatures in the state. They rooted before horses came to the Plains. Think of all that has happened within their life spans. Trees and forests are a big part of life in Montana. They support our economy, employ our people, build our homes, protect our rivers, provide habitat for wildlife, influence poli- tics, and give us beautiful places to play and be quiet.

  • The Stauffer-Will Farm Volunteer Handbook 2020
    The Stauffer-Will Farm Volunteer Handbook 2020 Aurora Colony Stauffer-Will Farm Program 2018 edition ACHS Mission: The mission of the Aurora Colony Historical Society is to “promote interactive lifelong learning by inspiring curiosity about, and preservation of, the heritage of the Aurora Colony. Purpose of the Program: 1. Provide 4th grade students with a hands-on experience of Pioneer life as illustrated in an Aurora Colony family. 2. Relate the Stauffer family's connection to the Colony and the Colony’s goals. 3. Be congruent with Oregon’s School Reform Act of 1991 and its subsequent benchmarks. 4. Provide a positive and safe learning environment for 8 to 11 year old children by allowing them to actively participate in pioneer activities. Goals for volunteers and staff: 1. Volunteer recruitment; attain as many volunteers as possible. 2. Staff the program with volunteers who are dressed in period clothing while they teach children the old Colony ways of making shakes, woodstove cooking, bread making, candle making, wool process, quilt making. 3. Involve the students in activities typical of children’s activities of the time of pioneers and the Aurora Colony. Welcome, and Thank you! The Stauffer-Will Farm School program has been a success for over 30 years. Each year thousands of students and many chaperones attend the farm and village programs. The buildings and the Aurora Colony story come alive with the addition of some very talented and dedicated staff and volunteers. You imbue the participants with enthusiasm about the activities, the Colony and Pioneer history. You add a dimension not found in museums or interpretive centers.

  • Magic with a Broadaxe
    22 MANUSCRIPTS You must excuse me, Lucretius, for this passionate defence of my poetry. However, I do not understand what all this has to do with the style of my chess-playing." "Well, you see, Wordsworth, I had expected a style of subtle simplicity from you, which would have been in keeping with your poetic style. Instead, your play has contained those very elements that I find lacking in your poetry: immensity and fierceness! Rather than making delicate, quiet moves, you have been relentless in your aggression. This, then, is the contradiction which I have spied." "I dare say," replied Wordsworth, "if you really understood my poetry, you could find no contradiction. Perhaps the light will shine a little more brightly when you see the way in which I intend to finish the game." Lucretius had just played his twenty-fifth move. He sat back in . his chair and waited _for his opponent to make his reply. Words- worth thought for a few moments, then raised his hand to touch the most insignificant piece on the board-the King's Rook's Pawn- which was standing passively and defensively in front of his King, and was still on its original square. He pushed the Pawn forward one square (25 .... P-R3!!), looked across the table, and whis- pered, "Zugzwang !"14 Lucretius looked at the board in silence for a long while. Then he tipped Over his King in Resignation. VVordsworth said mildly, "Perhaps now you can see what I mean when I say, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.":" Magic With a Broadaxe Edward B.

    Heavy Woodworking at Liberty Hall and the Surrounding Buildings and a Report on a Plowshare Unearthed During the Liberty Hall Excavation David A. Greer Dr. John McDaniel Anthropology 377 Spring 1977 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS I would like to gratefully acknowlege the following per­ sons for their help on this projectz Mr. Robert W. Dodson, Jr. of Norfolk for information on the plowshare, Mr. A. Ray Pentecost of Norfolk for the use of several books from his library, Mr. M. M. Diffenbaugh of Staunton for infcrmation on to ~ls found in this area, and The staff of the Liberty Hall Archeological Excavations for general information and assistance. HONOR STATEMENT I have neither given nor rec ~eved unauthorized or un­ acknowleged help on this paper. David A. Greer Construction of buildings has always been a major focal point and indicator of a people's culture. Architectural de­ sign, processes of construction, and the tools used all reflect sociological and technical levels of proficiency. The process of building any structure from a steel and glass high-rise to a simple log cabin requires many skills and much knowlege of proceedures even on a miniscule level in order that the struc­ ture stand. In the old methods of woodworking one man often had to be a specialist in geological and physical engineering, lumbering, woodcarving, and accurate planning. We can examine the processes of construction, focusing on wooden construction, at Liberty Hall even though no wood­ working tools or known original timbers have been found in the excavations, which can easily be explained. The tools were very valuable and individually designed for the user.
