Kids today have no shortage of heroes. From Hollywood celebrities to music artists and sports figures, it would seem that there are plenty of heroes to go around. The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.

Jackson The history of The Salvation Army is incredibly rich. Those who spend time researching and writing it are keenly aware of this truth. Those who choose to read books, articles and thoughtful studies on The Salvation Army’s past come to understand the depth and importance of the subject. The history of this organization maintains a uniqueness that separates this movement from oth- er religious organizations, churches and nonprofits. We are similar in some respects, but our uniqueness is what tells the story that most readers of our past want to know and profit from. Just prior to the release of Maud, Emma, Evangeline: America’s Love Affair with the 3 Booth Women, I spent several hours interviewing Dr. R. Gordon Moyles for a promotional video about the book. I was taken by Moyles’ pas- sion for the subject of his latest work, and his lifelong study of The Salvation Army.

  • Chapter 3, Historical and Cultural Resources
    Door County Comprehensive and Farmland Preservation Plan 2035: Volume II, Resource Report CHAPTER 3: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 16 | Chapter 3: Historical and Cultural Resources Door County Comprehensive and Farmland Preservation Plan 2035: Volume II, Resource Report INTRODUCTION This chapter begins by briefly discussing Door County’s “community character,” which is intertwined with many of the county’s historical and cultural resources. It then provides a brief history of the county’s residents and its development, followed by an inventory of the historical resources in Door County. Included are discussion of the county’s historical associations; the area’s maritime history and maritime museums, lighthouses, and shipwrecks; general museums; archaeological sites; sites on the state and/or federal historic registries; and cemeteries. Finally, this chapter provides an inventory of cultural resources, such as cultural organizations, educational and cultural opportunities, visual and performing arts groups and venues, and festivals. COMMUNITY CHARACTER Community character is defined by a variety of sometimes intangible factors, including the people living in the area, the visual character of the area, and the quality of life and experiences offered to residents and visitors. Door County’s community character was ranked as either the county’s highest or second- highest asset during the public input exercises conducted at the county-wide visioning sessions held between 2006 and 2007. As is evidenced by the lists below of responses from residents at those visioning meetings, all aspects of community character – the people, the visual attributes, and the general quality of life as well as the county’s specific historical and cultural resources – define or exemplify life in Door County.
