Leelanau Conservancy Conserving the Land, Water and Scenic Character of Leelanau County Leelanau Conservancy Conserving the Land, Water and Scenic Character of Leelanau County 2010 Annual Report and Newsletter A Watershed Year his winter, one of our conservation easement landowners sent in a sweet little essay about T watersheds. Randy Dlugopolski asked us to imagine the journey a drop of water would take after landing on the orchard next to his family’s 66 acres near Northport. He traced the drop’s wanderings through pine trees, its free fall down a wet slope and dalliance in a cedar swamp. Ultimately, the journey ends in the sparking blue waters of Northport Bay. The essay is posted on our website, and will appear in our next newsletter. It arrived just as we were mulling over ideas for this report. Randy’s musing signifies just how far we have come in the public’s understanding of the importance of Leelanau County’s seven watersheds. Back when we launched something called the Lake Leelanau Watershed Initiative in 2004, our Outreach Committee struggled with what to name this fund- and awareness-raising effort. “The word ‘watershed’ is so BORING, it sounds too DRY, too SCIENTIFIC,” complained one committee member with an expertise in marketing. We racked our brains for a catch phrase that would resonate. If one existed, we couldn’t think of it. Instead, we digressed, talking about clean, clear water, how it had drawn each of us to Leelanau and the role it played in our love for this peninsula. So what exactly is a watershed? Envision a big funnel or bathtub and you’ve got the picture. (continued on page 4) Leelanau County Watersheds Bar Lakes and Coastal Wetlands Glen Lake/Crystal River Lake Leelanau Lake Terrace Coastal Wetlands Platte River Shalda Creek and Coastal Wetlands West Grand Traverse Bay Chairman’s Message ooking ahead to when my time on the Board of Directors Lcomes to an end in October, I have begun to reflect on the impact that the Conservancy has had on my family and myself over these past eight-plus years. We discovered Leelanau County in 1975 after a short vacation at the Homestead and decided that THIS WAS IT! We were taken back by the beauty of nearly every vista that we discovered and we were especially enamored with LittleTraverse Lake. We decided to look for a place that we could call our own and purchased a lot on Little Traverse. We built a cottage in 1977. I recall the days when we were part-time residents of Leelanau and we would hurry to leave South Bend, Indiana, on Friday afternoons for a weekend Up North. As we drew closer to our cottage our two dogs would start to stir and our kids became more excited. When we were within about 20 miles of our cottage, Freida, our miniature schnauzer, would begin sniffing the air and crying in anticipation. I was no better! After passing the Swanson farm on M-22 I would make the turn onto Little Traverse Lake Road and I would always signal the end of the trip by shouting “Oh my! I Love It Up Here.” As a matter of Chairman Tom Dunfee on his beloved Little Traverse Lake fact our children used to predict among themselves the exact momentwhen my statement would come forth and then proceed purchase price and plan to close within the next 60 days. to mimic me for what seemed like hours. So as you can see dreams of preserving important The magnet that drew us to Leelanau County continued to landscapes in Leelanau can and do become a reality. There pull us north until my wife, Gretchen, and I decided to retire to are many more special places around Leelanau that have deep our special place in 2000. That same year, I began volunteering meaning and contain history important to many of you. I hope with the Conservancy out at our natural areas and later as a to see these places preserved in the future. I encourage you to docent. In 2002 I joined the Board of Directors. Since then I have be involved in their protection. relished being involved in preserving many places in Leelanau. I have witnessed many new additions in our quest to preserve See you on the trails! special lands but none more special to me, personally, than the Sonny Swanson farm on Little Traverse Lake. Like many of you, I remember Sonny working in his fields, Tom Dunfee harvesting broccoli and sweet corn, strawberries and cabbages, Chairman of the Board and selling his beautiful produce from his historic yellow roadside stand. His adherence to the honor system for payment for his INSIDE: goods continued throughout his stewardship of his land.Through Executive Director Message Page 3 the years, Sonny and his farm became an integral part of the Watersheds Page 4 Leelanau landscape and especially around Little Traverse Lake. Over the years, we have recognized the importance of Numbers Page 8 Sonny’s farm not only for its agricultural significance but also for Heritage Society Page 10 its scenic character and to the watershed that the farm protects. I Founders Society Page 11 have also come to know that many others, especially those around Donors Page 12 Little Traverse Lake, were interested in preserving Sonny’s farm and were very willing to support a campaign to raise funds for Volunteers Page 21 its purchase. To date we have secured nearly 90 percent of the Leelanau Preservers Page 23 2 Thoughts From Our Executive Director Find your place on the With over 2,000 feet of shoreline on Little Traverse Lake, and planet, dig in, and take home to multiple small streams that feed directly into the lake, responsibility from buying and protecting Sonny’s farm is a great investment in the there. future of a special Leelanau landscape. The wetlands along the ~Gary Snyder lake are flush with a surprising array of wildlife. But Sonny’s farm means much more. How else can we explain the outpouring of h e L e e l a n a u support for this project? In a few short months, beginning in the T Peninsula is called spring of this past year, 168 donors contributed over $800,000 home by some 20,000 toward the Conservancy’s purchase of Sonny’s Farm. or so people, but it is an If the Conservancy did not exist, Sonny’s farm might emotionaltouchstone for have changed hands and still been preserved intact.

We can express the larger community’s interest donors and supporters has brought this simple fact home to me in seeing an iconic place like Sonny’s farm preserved. And we recently. Visiting folks in Phoenix, or St. Louis, or Columbus have an organization that works every day to protect Leelanau’s - and listening to them tell stories of experiences in Leelanau, treasures. or the people they know and think about often - tells me how Sonny’s farm is just an example of how people who much our peninsula means to them.

The dates used were estimated on other known dates. Edward is said to have landed in Boston about 1639. "In his last days, Edward Chapman had some trouble with his son, Nathaniel. Mark Symonds, his father- in-law, had left with him, in trust, certain lands, which were to be given to his children when they became of age. In Sept., 1677, after he had given John some real estate, Nathaniel sued his father for his share of the legacy left by his grandfather Symonds. By mutual consent, "Dea. Moses Pingry and Symon Stacy of Ipswich, and Ezekiell Northend, of Rowley," were chosen to divide that land into five equal parts, and Nathaniel was to choose "his share, according to his birth." Some of the other children left their shares in possession of their father till his death. When he made his will, April 9, 1678, he gave Nathaniel another equal share, and added, "My will is that all my children be satisfied with that I have done for them.

  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball.

  • Annual Report Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation July 1, 2016 ‒ June 30, 2017 FY 17 from the Chair Ray Mccaskey
    Annual Report Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation July 1, 2016 ‒ June 30, 2017 FY 17 From the Chair Ray McCaskey n behalf of our board of directors and staff, I am pleased to share with you the 2017 Annual Report Ofor the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation (ALPLF), the official Foundation of our nation’s 16th President. Oftentimes, whether serendipitously or purposefully, leaders come to the fore—the exact person needed for at a precise moment in history—Winston Churchill and FDR in World War II, Abraham Lincoln on the advent of the Civil War. We rarely recognize these leaders for what they are destined to become as they enter into their leadership roles and begin working their magic, but history does. Sound leadership is vital to the success of a nation and no less so for a corporation or charitable organization. Thriving businesses and charities are successful, precisely because of sound leadership. Fiscal Year 2017 began with the appointment of a new leader for our Museum and Library—Alan Lowe. It is safe to say that Alan is the precise person we need at this point in the ALPLM’s history. As our state and nation grapple with ever decreasing financial resources and ever increasing financial needs, it will take strong leadership at both the ALPLM and the ALPLF to lead us through challenging times. If FY 2017 is a measure of this, then we have cause to celebrate, in spite of the budgetary challenges. The ALPLM thrived opening eight exhibitions, among them, Unfinished Work, The Neiman Portraits, Rare and Rarely Seen and Cubs vs.
