June 2021 < Intentionally Blank > CAPITOL LAKECAPIT – DESCHUTESOL LAKE – DESCHUTESESTUARY ESTUARY Long-Term Management Project Environmental Impact Statement Long-Term Management Project Environmental Impact Statement Executive Summary This Aquatic Invasive Species Discipline Report describes the potential impacts of the Capitol Lake – Deschutes Estuary Long-Term Management Project on aquatic invasive species in the area surrounding the project. The Capitol Lake – Deschutes Estuary includes the 260-acre Capitol Lake Basin, located on the Washington State Capitol Campus, in Olympia, Washington. Long-term management strategies and actions are needed to address issues in the Capitol Lake – Deschutes Estuary project area. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being prepared to document the potential environmental impacts of various alternatives and determine how these alternatives meet the long-term objectives identified for the watershed. Aquatic invasive species (AIS) include nonnative plants and animals that rely on the aquatic environment for a portion of their life cycle and can spread to new areas of the state, causing economic or environmental harm. The impacts of construction and operation of each alternative are assessed based on the potential of project alternatives to result in changes in abundance or distribution of AIS within or outside the project area from AIS transport into or out of the project area. Where impacts are identified, the report discusses measures that can be taken to minimize or mitigate potential impacts.

  • David a Lester and the Kinsley Civil War Monument
    Civil War Valor in Concrete by Randall M. Thies emorial Day, 1917: David Lester looked on with pride as the recently completed Civil War monument was unveiled in Hillside Cemetery, a short Mdistance northwest of Kinsley, Kansas. A Union vet- eran and longtime resident of the Kinsley area, Lester had a special reason to be proud of the new monu- ment: he was the artist who had created it. Memorial Day was always a special occasion, but the unveiling of the new monument made this day even more so, attracting a large crowd despite threat- ening weather and bad roads. After beginning the day with a band concert, speeches, and parade in downtown Kinsley, the crowd gathered at the ceme- tery to share in the dedication of its new monument. Uniformed members of the Knights of Pythias served as a ceremonial firing squad, while flower girls in white dresses provided a festive air. Honored as the The Kinsley Civil War monument photographed about the time of its dedication—Memorial Day, 1917. Randall W. Thies is an archeologist and cultural resource specialist with the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka and currently serves as state coor- dinator for the Kansas Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) project. A graduate of Washburn University, he received an M.A. in sociology (anthropology) from Iowa State University in 1979. 164 KANSAS HISTORY David A. Lester and the Kinsley Civil War Monument creator of the monument, David Lester also read the memorial service, as appropriate to his role as com- mander of Kinsley’s Timothy O. Howe Post 241 of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a nationwide Union veterans organization.

  • Sculptor Charles Adrian Pillars
    CHARLES ADRIAN PILLARS (1870-1937), JACKSONVILLE‟S MOST NOTED SCULPTOR By DIANNE CRUM DAWOOD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Dianne Crum Dawood 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to acknowledge my thesis chair, Dr. Melissa Hyde, and committee members, Dr. Eric Segal and Dr. Victoria Rovine, for serving on this project for me. Their suggestions, insightful analysis, encouragement, and confidence in my candidacy for a master‟s in art history were important support. I also enjoyed their friendship and patience during this process. The wordsmithing and editing guidance of Mary McClurkin was a delightful collaboration that culminated in a timely finished paper and a treasured friendship. Assistance from Deanne and Ira in the search of microfilm and microfiche records turned a project of anticipated drudgery into a treasure hunt of exciting finds. I also appreciated the suggestions and continued interest of Dr. Wayne Wood, who assured me that Charles Adrian Pillars‟s story was worthy of serious research that culminated in learning details of his life and career heretofore unknown outside of Pillars‟s family. Interviews with Pillars‟s daughter, Ann Pillars Durham, were engaging time travels recalling her father and his celebrity and the family‟s economic and personal vicissitudes during the Great Depression. She also graciously allowed me to review her personal papers. Wells & Drew, the parent company of which was founded in Jacksonville in 1855, permitted my use of a color image, and The Florida Times-Union granted permission to use some of their photographs in this paper.

A major remodel in 1909–1910 enlarged the wings of the building and replaced the building’s original dome with a more elongated one. New Hampshire State House, 107 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03303 Year completed**: 1819 Architectural style: Greek Revival FYI: The stately eagle installed on top of the New Hampshire State House’s dome may look gold, but it’s actually brass. The original was removed for preservation and is on display at the New Hampshire Historical Society. A new, gold-leafed eagle was put in its place around 1969. Vermont State House, 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633 Year completed**: 1859 Architectural style: Renaissance Revival FYI: The senate chamber still has its original furnishings, plus working gas lamps, and a “gasolier”—a gaslight chandelier that was rediscovered elsewhere in 1979, refurbished, and reinstalled in the chamber. New York State Capitol, State St. and Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12224 Year completed**: 1899 Architectural style: Italian Renaissance/French Renaissance/Romanesque FYI: The Western staircase inside New York’s capitol has been dubbed the “Million Dollar Staircase,” because it cost more than a million dollars to build—in the late-1800s, no less.
