Saint Louis Zoo Endowed Positions and Funds: a Growing Tradition Saint Louis Zoo Endowed Positions and Funds: A Growing Tradition 1 About this book This book is about our wonderful Zoo donors who have established endowed funds and positions at the Saint Louis Zoo. Most importantly, it tells their stories. Stories about people who worked hard, built successful businesses in St. Louis, and wanted to give something back to their community. Stories about people who lived simply and quietly, and gave generous and unexpected gifts. People who made our city and our Zoo what it is today and whose vision will live on tomorrow. As author Alexander McCall Smith wrote, “A life without stories would be no life at all. And stories bound us, did they not, one to another, the living to the dead, people to animals, people to the land.” I am inspired by each of the stories in this book. Some are about people and names who might be familiar, some are less known. But I am struck by how each of these donors was touched by the Zoo at some point in his or her life and how each was inspired to make an investment in our future. As an anthropologist, I have studied landmark learning experiences, those “aha” moments when a spark is ignited and we are inspired to learn more, or a light bulb goes on, and we get it. We have seen something amazing, and we want to know more. For many, a visit to the Saint Louis Zoo is the first encounter with a wild animal. It is something memorable and wonderful, and that has not changed in more than 100 years. What has changed is that wildlife is disappearing at an increasingly alarming rate. In addition, the role of zoos in animal conservation has evolved. Gifts made to the Saint Louis Zoo Endowment ensure that our Zoo continues to be one of the best in the world, that it continues to be a leader in conservation, and that it continues to provide those special moments that connect our visitors to our animals, to each other, and to this beloved St. Louis institution. I am deeply grateful to all of the people who are recognized here and who have entrusted us to be a part of their legacies. I hope that their leadership and philanthropy will inspire many more to follow their examples. With gratitude, Jeffrey P. Bonner, Ph.D. Dana Brown President & CEO Dr. Bonner is the inaugural Dana Brown President & CEO of the Saint Louis Zoo. In 2008, a gift from the Dana Brown Charitable Trust named and endowed his position, the first for any zoo president. 2 3 About the Zoo Endowment Fund The Saint Louis Zoo is a world-class Zoo today because of the generosity and vision of our remarkable community. It began with St. Louis City’s purchase of the 1904 World’s Fair Flight Cage, then an effort to establish a zoo in Forest Park, to which the public responded enthusiastically. Some donated animals, school children collected pennies for Miss Jim the elephant and a majority of the people voted to tax themselves to support it. Over the years, St. Louis has continued to support and take pride in the Zoo and celebrate its achievements. We have grown from a single aviary attraction, to a place with world-famous animal shows, to a world leader in recreation, education, conservation and research. Our success compels us to look to the future to ensure that our Zoo will continue to thrive, to be here for our children and grandchildren, and to fulfill its important mission here and around the world. The Saint Louis Zoo Endowment, established in 2004, is an important step toward this legacy and is helping to ensure a strong and permanent financial foundation for generations to come. The named endowed positions and funds in this book were created by entrepreneurs and secretaries, corporate and civic leaders, doctors and lawyers, families, and everyday people. Thanks to their contributions, the Zoo Endowment reached the $50 million mark on its 10th anniversary. We are honored to recognize each of them here and to tell their stories. Each has made an important investment in the Zoo’s future, and the Endowment will continue to grow as others are inspired by their vision and generosity. With appreciation, Cynthia S. Holter, CFRE Vice President, External Relations Learn how you can leave a legacy through the Saint Louis Zoo Endowment on page 58. 4 5 Saint Louis Zoo Positions and Funds Saint Louis Zoo Endowed Positions Dana Brown President & CEO .......................................................................................................................10 William Bernoudy Vice President, Architecture & Planning ...........................................................................12 William R.

  • 1 It's All Geek to Me: Translating Names Of
    IT’S ALL GEEK TO ME: TRANSLATING NAMES OF INSECTARIUM ARTHROPODS Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, O.M.P. U.S. Biological and Geological Survey of the Territories Central Post Office, Denver City, Colorado Territory [or Year 2016 c/o Kallima Consultants, Inc., PO Box 33084, Northglenn, CO 80233-0084] ABSTRACT Kids today! Why don’t they know the basics of Greek and Latin? Either they don’t pay attention in class, or in many cases schools just don’t teach these classic languages of science anymore. For those who are Latin and Greek-challenged, noted (fictional) Victorian entomologist and explorer, Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, will present English translations of the scientific names that have been given to some of the popular common arthropods available for public exhibits. This paper will explore how species get their names, as well as a brief look at some of the naturalists that named them. INTRODUCTION Our education system just isn’t what it used to be. Classic languages such as Latin and Greek are no longer a part of standard curriculum. Unfortunately, this puts modern students of science at somewhat of a disadvantage compared to our predecessors when it comes to scientific names. In the insectarium world, Latin and Greek names are used for the arthropods that we display, but for most young entomologists, these words are just a challenge to pronounce and lack meaning. Working with arthropods, we all know that Entomology is the study of these animals. Sounding similar but totally different, Etymology is the study of the origin of words, and the history of word meaning.

  • Project Description
    Chapter 1: Project Description A. INTRODUCTION The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH or the Museum) is seeking discretionary actions in connection with a proposed new building, the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation (the Gilder Center). The Gilder Center would be an approximately 105-foot-tall (five stories above grade; taking into account mechanical and elevator bulkheads, a portion of the rooftop would reach 115 feet), approximately 203,000 gross-square-foot (gsf) addition located on the Columbus Avenue side of the Museum campus. Because the building would be integrated into the Museum complex, an additional approximately 42,000 gsf of existing space would be renovated to accommodate the program and make connections into the new building, for a total of approximately 245,000 gsf of new construction and renovation. Alterations also would be made to adjacent portions of Theodore Roosevelt Park. The Gilder Center, together with these other alterations, is the project proposed to be implemented by the Museum. Approximately 80 percent of the square footage of the project would be located within the area currently occupied by the Museum. Three existing buildings within the Museum complex would be removed to minimize the footprint on land that is now open space in Theodore Roosevelt Park, to about 11,600 square feet (approximately a quarter acre). The Museum is located on the superblock bounded by West 81st Street, West 77th Street, Central Park West, and Columbus Avenue, in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan (Block 1130, Lot 1). The Museum is located in Theodore Roosevelt Park, which is City-owned parkland under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks).

  • St. Louis Street Performers United Voluntary Best Practices Guidelines
    VOLUNTARY BEST PRACTICES GUIDELINES Street performers, also known as buskers, make a valuable contribution to our vibrant urban fabric. We want to encourage street performances while respecting the reasonable expectations of the greater public to enjoy peace and quiet in their homes and the ability of businesses to conduct commerce. These voluntary guidelines seek to balance the interests of performers with those of residents, visitors and businesses. A respectful environment will create more opportunities for local street performers and make the region a welcoming destination for traveling artists. Following a court challenge, the City of St. Louis repealed its overly broad street performer ordinance in October 2013. Elsewhere in the region, other municipalities have not adopted street performer ordinances. So, street performers are free to perform in any public location, although they are subject to other regulations prohibiting disturbing the peace, obstruction of public passageways, aggressive panhandling and intrusive noise. Drafted by an interested group of participating street performers in collaboration with the St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts (VLAA) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri (ACLU), this consensus document is based on the belief that street performers are largely self- regulating. Our common sense “time, place and manner” guidelines are not intended to prohibit or hinder artistic expression, which is protected by the First Amendment. The goal is to ensure that public areas remain safe and useful for their primary purposes while asserting the rights of street performers and other artists. Street performers who want to follow these voluntary guidelines can obtain a free annual St.

  • Primates Don't Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EDITOR’S NOTE: Photos of an appropriate multi-male, multi-female group of chimpanzees at Lincoln Park Zoo can be found HERE. Pet trade images are not shared as Lincoln Park Zoo research shows when these images of chimpanzees in human settings are circulated, chimpanzees are not believed to be endangered. Primates Don’t Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park Zoo Series of manuscripts from the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes bring light to the detrimental effects of atypically-housed chimpanzees Chicago (December 13, 2017) – The Wolf of Wall Street movie. Weezer’s “Island in the Sun” music video. Michael Jackson’s “pet” Bubbles. While these may seem like unrelated pop culture references, they all have a similarly daunting theme: the use of chimpanzees in the pet or entertainment trade. These chimpanzees typically are raised by humans and rarely see others of their own species until they are fortunate enough to be moved to an accredited zoo or sanctuary. For years, Lincoln Park Zoo researchers have documented the long-term effects of this unusual human exposure on chimpanzees. Now, a third and final study in a series has been published in Royal Society Open Science Dec. 13 showcasing the high stress levels experienced by these chimpanzees who have been raised in human homes and trained to perform for amusement. Over the course of the three years, Fisher Center researchers evaluated more than 60 chimpanzees – all now living in accredited zoos and sanctuaries - and examined the degree to which they were exposed to humans and to their own species over their lifetime to determine the long-term effects of such exposure.
