The Authority is governed by a 12-member Board of Trustees. fmauthority.com From the Chairman and Executive Director For more than 400 years, this spit of land in the Chesapeake Bay has been the site of historical events that have shaped our country. There have also been many periods of construction and development at Fort Monroe as the property has transitioned into new roles and uses. We are amid one of these periods again as the U.S. Army transfers ownership of Fort Monroe to the Commonwealth of Virginia. This means that we are legislatively mandated to fulfill three objectives: 1) preserve the property, 2) tell the history of Fort Monroe, and 3) move it towards economic sustainability. Created by the General Assembly in 2010, the Fort Monroe Authority (FMA) is responsible for the planning and reuse of Fort Monroe at Old Point Comfort. We are pleased to report that investments are already being made in the properties, buildings, and infrastructure.

Carnivores from the Borsuka Cave (southern Poland) as an example of changes in carnivore assemblages dur- ing MIS 2 and MIS 1. Acta zool. cracov., 60(2): 105-146. Abstract. Two faunal assemblages were identified in the fossil material of carnivores from the Borsuka Cave. The older one, of Late Pleistocene age, found in layers V-VII and dated as the end of MIS 3 and MIS 2, included nine species: Vulpes lagopus, Vulpes sp., Ursus arctos arctos, Gulo gulo, Meles meles, Martes martes, Mustela erminea, Mustela nivalis and Lynx lynx. The younger assemblage, dated as MIS 1 and found in layers I-IV, com- prised six species: Vulpes vulpes, Ursus arctos arctos, Meles meles, Martes martes, Mus- tela ex. gr. eversmanii-putorius and Felis silvestris. The carnivore material was represented by almost all skeletal elements, with the majority constituted by cranial bones, isolated teeth, vertebrae, metacarpals and metatarsals. Remains of Vulpes vulpes and Meles meles were the most abundant; the presence of young individuals of both spe- cies confirmed that they used the cave as a shelter and to raise cubs.

  • Forging a New Path
    FORGING A NEW PATH, SWEET BRIAR TURNS TO THE FUTURE Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae, Throughout this spring semester, distinguished women musicians, writers and policy makers have streamed to the campus, in a series dubbed “At the Invitation of the President.” As you will read in this issue, the series started in January with a remarkable all-women ensemble of scholar-performers dedicated to excavating little-known string trios from the 17th and 18th century, and it ended the semester with a lecture by Bettina Ring, the secretary of agriculture and forestry for the Commonwealth. Sweet Briar was a working farm for most of its history, a fact that does not escape the secretary, both as an important legacy we share and cherish, but also as a resurgent possibility for the future — for Sweet Briar and Central Virginia. Through this series, one learns stunning things about women who shape history. A gradu- ate of Sweet Briar, Delia Taylor Sinkov ’34 was a top code breaker who supervised a group of women who worked silently — under an “omerta” never to be betrayed in one’s lifetime — to break the Japanese navy and army codes and eventually to help win the Battle of Midway. Ultimately, the number of code breakers surpassed 10,000. While America is a country that loves and shines light on its heroes, women have often stayed in the shadow of that gleaming light; they are history’s greatest omission. “Do you like doing the crossword puzzle?” Navy recruiters would ask the potential code breakers. “And are you engaged to be married?” If the answer to the former was a “yes” and to the lat- ter a “no,” then the women were recruited to the first wave of large-scale intelligence work upon which the nation would embark.

  • Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York
    Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York Compiled by R.’.W.’. Gary L. Heinmiller Director, Onondaga & Oswego Masonic Districts Historical Societies (OMDHS) www.omdhs.syracusemasons.com February 2010 Almost all of the land west of the Genesee River, including all of present day Wyoming County, was part of the Holland Land Purchase in 1793 and was sold through the Holland Land Company's office in Batavia, starting in 1801. Genesee County was created by a splitting of Ontario County in 1802. This was much larger than the present Genesee County, however. It was reduced in size in 1806 by creating Allegany County; again in 1808 by creating Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Niagara Counties. Niagara County at that time also included the present Erie County. In 1821, portions of Genesee County were combined with portions of Ontario County to create Livingston and Monroe Counties. Genesee County was further reduced in size in 1824 by creating Orleans County. Finally, in 1841, Wyoming County was created from Genesee County. Considering the history of Freemasonry in Genesee County one must keep in mind that through the years many of what originally appeared in Genesee County are now in one of other country which were later organized from it. Please refer to the notes below in red, which indicate such Lodges which were originally in Genesee County and would now be in another county. Lodge Numbers with an asterisk are presently active as of 2004, the most current Proceedings printed by the Grand Lodge of New York, as the compiling of this data. Lodges in blue are or were in Genesee County.
