Corridor Management Plan | St. John Valley Cultural Byway 2 Acknowledgements This Corridor Management Plan for the St. John Valley Cultural Byway is to provide the byway’s management committee and people of the St. John Valley of northern Maine with insight, guidance, and tools, to manage and build success for the byway. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the shaping of this management plan, including members of the working group, volunteers on the byway planning committee, stakeholders who participated in meetings, and many others throughout the region who provided their insight and guidance. Additional input by staff of the Maine Department of Transportation, the Northern Maine Development Commission, Maine Office of Tourism, and educators from universities from both sides of the international border, was invaluable and enriched this plan immensely. Many thanks for funding to the Federal Highway Administration-National Scenic Byway Program, the Maine Department of Transportation, and the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.

What followed was an extensive public process of planning in preparation for a Corridor Management Plan (CMP). The process to achieve the management plan was a highly public and collaborative one, which involved residents, business owners, local government officials, consultants, and state and regional agencies. Rich History and Bright Future Commonly referred to as “The Valley”, this rural, international region with a population of close 14,000, is situated at the northernmost tip of Maine on the border with the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Québec. A catalyst for designation was the 2014 Congrès mondial acadien (World Acadian Congress), where thousands of people from around the world were welcomed to the international region. With designation in 2010, the St. John Valley Cultural Byway was born. The region’s culture and history, and the people’s enduring sense of identity and place, shape the byway story. There is abundance – a rich and diverse history, numerous museums and historic sites, the French language, vibrant traditions, world-class outdoor recreation, unique festivals, international location – forming the foundation for a distinct collection of stories and treasured places. The byway celebrates the predominant French population of Acadian and French-Canadians, along with the Scots-Irish and Native American cultures.1 The 104-mile byway builds upon over 40 years of development efforts by regional, state and national groups, as well as the ground swell of community engagement, planning, and projects around the region’s distinct culture and history. The byway is a kind of synthesizer, helping to coalesce these efforts and leverage regional assets to provide a genuine and interactive way for visitors to experience the region. Celebrating Culture Planning for this management plan was a public process involving a broad range of people from throughout the St. John Valley. A planning team, comprised of a professional working group and a volunteer planning committee, worked together to shape the byway and this management plan. Local businesses, nonprofits, scholars, and municipalities provided additional insight. The planning committee was tasked with providing input on the region’s intrinsic qualities, shaping byway themes, establishing a purpose, values and goals, and offering guidance on next steps for sustainability. The National Scenic Byways Program defines intrinsic quality as: “features that are considered representative, unique, irreplaceable, or distinctly characteristic of an area.” 2 The byway planning committee identified the Cultural Intrinsic Quality as the primary intrinsic quality. 1 For this plan, we use the term French Canadian. Though interchangable with Québecois, the term French Canadian better represents the region’s French heritage and connection with Québec. 2 National Scenic Byways Program, FHWA Interim Policy, May 18, 1995. Six instrinsic qualities: Archaeological, Cultural, Historic, Natural, Recreational, and Scenic. Corridor Management Plan | St. John Valley Cultural Byway 4 The mission of the byway is to: Celebrate the region’s distinct international blend of French, care for our cultural and natural assets, foster tourism opportunities to attract visitors from around the world, and enrich the quality of life for residents. Values reflect the highest priority in shaping the byway, which includes being inclusive, authentic, and truthful, as well as remembering the international context and stewarding the region’s culture, heritage, and land. The planning committee identified four goals for the byway: 1. Promote and raise awareness of the region’s diverse cultural heritage 2. Steward and enhance cultural, historic, scenic, and natural assets 3. Foster growth of regional tourism and economic opportunities 4. Establish byway management that reflects our values The byway goals and objectives embrace a high level of stewardship, preservation, support, and celebration of the intrinsic qualities of the byway. Beside these essential considerations, byway management also includes attention to land use, zoning, signage, road safety and improvements, and design standards. As planning for the byway progressed, a parallel initiative for the creation of interpretative panels was undertaken. Twenty-four wayside exhibits that share the region’s story and enrich the visitor’s experience are installed along the byway. Sharing our Culture and Place with the World How can we keep the St. John Valley Cultural Byway vibrant and relevant? The byway plays an important role in maintaining and enhancing the region’s key assets. Its sustainability is dependent upon strong and consistent leadership, responsiveness to visitors, collaboration, and funding.

  • John Baker and the Republic of Madawaska
    Roger Paradis JOHN BAKER AND THE REPUBLIC OF MADAWASKA • i • ? An Episode In The Northeast Boundary Controversy ' The United States has been involved in numerous boundary disputes, but few of these growing pains, if any, have engendered such a welter of scholarly research as the Maine-New Brunswick controversy. Ironically, the master of intrigue most responsible for perpetrating the dispute has received little serious historical consideration. Too frequently, the embroglio has been superficially regarded as little more than a comic opera when, in fact, it threatened to precipi­ tate a crisis of the first magnitude—an Anglo-American confrontation which, if permitted to degenerate indefinitely, could have enflamed the Northern frontier from Halifax to Detroit.1 For half a century the dispute smoldered quietly while the United States temporized and engaged in protracted and fruitless negotiations with Great Britain. In 1817, however, a new and violent dimension was added to the boundary controversy as American settlers were lured to the pine wilderness of the upper St. John River by the prospect of timber profits and free lands. Among the Yankee settlers who yielded to the charms of the disputed Mada- waska Territory was John Baker, a flamboyant agitator destined to be thrust from a prosaic but remunerative lumbering business to the fore of international politics. He was born in Moscow, Maine, in 1787, then a frontier wilderness.2 His youth was spent largely in lumbering and the fur trade, and in 1816, he and his brother Nathan were charged with trading illicitly with the Indians. The Baker brothers made separate getaways; Nathan, who would also be in­ volved in the boundary controversy, migrated directly to the disputed territory with his family.

In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.
