Ecosystem Management and its Application at the Local Level: APNEP, CAMA and Local Land Use Planning in North Carolina A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of New Orleans in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Studies with a concentration in Urban Planning and Environmental Management By Traci L. Birch, AICP B.A. Baldwin-Wallace College, 1995 M.U.R.P. University of New Orleans, 2003 December 2011 This dissertation is dedicated to my grandfather Herbert “Bud” Mattison June 8, 1916 - December 4, 2008 Without his support, even today, this would not have been possible. He would be very proud. ii Acknowledgements I cannot begin to acknowledge all of the people who have helped and supported me through this process. First I must thank my dissertation advisor Dr. Marla Nelson for her unflagging encouragement and succinct guidance. I am also immensely grateful to Dr. Renia Ehrenfeucht, Dr. Shirley Laska, and Dr. Timothy Beatley for their guidance and advice throughout. I must also thank those who supported me through hell and high water, Dr. Enrique Reyes, Jane Brooks, David Lambour and countless others who encouraged me to move forward even when it seemed impossible. I am grateful to my cohort, many of whom have gone before me and some of whom are still plodding through. Nia Davis, Selfa Furman and Richard Williams, I am living proof that you to will finish this! I would also like to thank Anna Brand, whose return to New Orleans to conduct her dissertation research provided me the needed inspiration to finish my work and find a real job. Special thanks are due to the public servants, elected officials and resource managers that took an interest in my work and provided me invaluable insight into the topic and the day-to-day workings of their jobs. These people are too numerous to mention, but their generosity has made this work possible. I would also like to acknowledge the University of New Orleans for providing the financial support necessary to carry out this research. In particular, I would like to thank Liz Sigler, David Lambour and Paulette Simon, who always made sure that I dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s. Last but not least I am grateful to my family and many friends. You have listened to my tales of woe, fed the dogs while I was out of town collecting data, and provided me words of encouragement throughout the process. It is your faith in my abilities that have made this all possible. iii Table of Contents List of

  • Bushnell Family Genealogy, 1945
    BUSHNELL FAMILY GENEALOGY Ancestry and Posterity of FRANCIS BUSHNELL (1580 - 1646) of Horsham, England And Guilford, Connecticut Including Genealogical Notes of other Bushnell Families, whose connections with this branch of the family tree have not been determined. Compiled and written by George Eleazer Bushnell Nashville, Tennessee 1945 Bushnell Genealogy 1 The sudden and untimely death of the family historian, George Eleazer Bushnell, of Nashville, Tennessee, who devoted so many years to the completion of this work, necessitated a complete change in its publication plans and we were required to start anew without familiarity with his painstaking work and vast acquaintance amongst the members of the family. His manuscript, while well arranged, was not yet ready for printing. It has therefore been copied, recopied and edited, However, despite every effort, prepublication funds have not been secured to produce the kind of a book we desire and which Mr. Bushnell's painstaking work deserves. His material is too valuable to be lost in some library's manuscript collection. It is a faithful record of the Bushnell family, more complete than anyone could have anticipated. Time is running out and we have reluctantly decided to make the best use of available funds by producing the "book" by a process of photographic reproduction of the typewritten pages of the revised and edited manuscript. The only deviation from the original consists in slight rearrangement, minor corrections, additional indexing and numbering. We are proud to thus assist in the compiler's labor of love. We are most grateful to those prepublication subscribers listed below, whose faith and patience helped make George Eleazer Bushnell's book thus available to the Bushnell Family.

PREFACE Two overriding influences inform this study. The first is a set of stories that narrate the Gonzales family history, my mother’s side of the family. The second is a number of jokes that my father regularly told at social gatherings. Both are brief examples of a Mexican American expressive culture “in relation to its socially dominated condition.”1 Taken together, they constitute a “social heuristic, a real construction of identity for navigating a chaotic social world.” In this particular instance, these performances illustrate Mexicano families interpreting their past in the face of Anglo domination. Hopefully, these “texts” achieve what Ramón Saldívar claims for the “pedagogy of conjunto” and that is they “instruct us while they delight.”2 Often at the urging of my mother, my grandmother would entertain us around her kitchen table with countless stories of past generations of Gonzales, on occasion referring to events as far back as the Spanish colonial period.

The 1898 edition was prepared from the United States and Con federate navy registers, reports of officers, records of the office of the Secretary of the Navy, and miscellaneous papers. It was real ized at that time that the list of names and the information avail able were very incomplete, and every effort has been made since its publication to collect additional data. In publishing the 1898 edition, attention was called to its in completeness, and request made that any errors or omissions which might be noticed be brought to the attention of the Superintendent of the Office of Naval Records and Library with a view to making necessary corrections. As a result, approximately 400 additional names have since been added and much data concerning the service records of Confederate naval officers incorporated from records not previously available for research.
