GAP YEAR Pine Island Misses a Beat for the First Time in 118 Years belgrade lakes, maine february 2021 GAP YEAR PINE ISLAND MISSES A BEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 118 YEARS Pine Islanders have long been known for their ability to make do with less. The expression “less is more” has been a hallmark of life at Pine Island since the very beginning, when traveling by train and dirt roads brought camp- ers and staff to a remote island. Since 1902 Great Pond and Pine Island have become less remote, but the camp has consciously maintained a facility that feels remote and where making do with less is providing an even more valuable experience as boys and staff are given the opportunity to unplug and lose the myriad distractions of the modern world. Making do with less is one thing, but this past spring the 90 or so boys and nearly 40 staff who were planning to make do with less learned that they would have to make do with… nothing. After weeks of careful research and communication with Maine Summer Camps, the professional association to which Pine Island belongs; the Maine CDC; and infectious disease experts Pine Island awaits the arrival of PIC 2021. and prospective parents, the Pine Island board of directors decided, out of an article on page 16) of would-have-been Sumner, along with Communications wonderful things that being part of the abundance of caution, not to operate for counselors who lived and worked on Director Sarah Hunter and a generous effort provides.

V fc/^-S*. •^*WH* %**•* *• ^M " *I|P f^SB The year 1985 will go down in the books as another serious drought year, albeit the greenest in memory. There was good precipitation in the springtime, but by early summer we began to see the deficits in precipitation. This came on top of a general lack of snow cover, and water tables began to sink. There was enough rain to keep most lawns green, and even the farmers weren't hurting too much because there was enough precipitation to go root-deep. Hurricane Gloria, with its rains covering the eastern part of the Commonwealth, helped out some. Our salmon run in Lake Erie was impeded by warm water and the lack of water in the tributaries. The rains in early November wiped out the drought in the Delaware River Basin and even flooded parts of western Pennsylvania. And all the time, most weather broadcasters talked about the "threat" of rain; and again, this is their custom, believing that they are talking to an audience of people who only play golf, watch baseball games, and go on picnics. Across the Atlantic, the British Isles have had the wettest summer in over 100 years, with more than 150 inches of precipitation by the end of September. Even we would admit that's too much. At this point, however, it is difficult for anyone to enjoy living in this world unless he can accept its imperfection.

Fatih Sultan Mehmed Sanayi Devrimi’nden sonra başlayan hızlı gelişim trendi sonra- sında, günümüzde dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık % 55’i şehirlerde yaşamaktadır. 2050 yılında ise nüfusun yaklaşık % 70’inin şehir- de yaşayacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Bu durumda şehrin gele- ceğinin tartışılması aslında insanın geleceğinin ne olacağının konuşulması anlamına gelmektedir. “Geleceğin şehri” dendiğinde insanların aklına uzayda veya yerin altında inşa edilecek şehirler gelmektedir. Oysa insanın yaşama mekânı dün olduğu gibi yarın da yeryüzü olacaktır. Bu durumda şehrin geleceğini planlarken dünyanın şartları- nı, coğrafyasını, topografyasını göz önüne almak zorundayız. İnsanın varlığının devamı dünyanın yaşanabilir bir yer olarak kalmasına bağlı olduğuna göre, şehrin geleceğini planlarken ilk ve öncelikli olarak tabiatın bozulmamasına dikkat etmek zo- runda olduğumuz bir gerçektir. Öte yandan şehir nüfusunun artması beraberinde birçok sos- yal meseleyi de getirmiş, kent merkezli yeni toplumsal sorunlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Şehrin geleceğine dair çok disiplinli yaklaşım- lar aslında ortaya çıkan toplumsal sorunların kaynağını tespit edip çözmeye yönelik çabalardır. Her bilimsel alan insanın karşı karşıya kaldığı sorunları kendi açısından çözme çabasına gir- miştir. Bu da şehrin salt bir mimari alan olmaktan çıkıp bütün bilim dalları için uğraş alanı haline gelmesine yol açmıştır. Esenler Şehir Düşünce Merkezi de bu anlayıştan hareket ede- rek şehrin geleceğini farklı disiplinler açısından ele alan çalış- malar yapmaktadır.
