Theatrical Entertainment, Social Halls, Industry and Community: Houghton County, Michigan, 1837-1916
INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. -

The industry that lasted in the region over 100 years has been profoundly studied, but the industrial heritage has received less attention. This study is interested in the memory of mining and in the future prospects of locals right after the closure of the mines in 1969. This study is data-driven, using the interviews conducted within the Finnish Folklore and Social Change in the Great Lakes Mining Region Oral History Project by the Finlandia University in 1973-1978. The method is thematic analysis, which is used to identify, analyze and report themes related to talk on the mines, mining, the 1913 Strike, and the future. Two main themes are negative and positive talk. Within negative talk, three sub-themes are identified: insecurity, disappointment and loss. There is more negative talk within the data set, especially because of the 1913 Strike and the Italian Hall Disaster, which were still commonly remembered. -

2012 Fall-Summer Bridge
From the President PHILIP JOHNSON his Bridge issue features three stories about Finlandia students venturing “into the wild.” “Wild,” of course, does not need to be an exotic location. We all venture “into the wild” whenever we choose to exchange the familiar for the unfamiliar, the comfortable for the uncomfortable, the known for the unknown. Such choosing calls for courage. At her best, Finlandia creates for her students opportunities that are ripe for discovering and exercising courageous learning and living. This past summer, I paused to reflect on my first five years at Finlandia, which prompted me to re-visit my September 2007 inauguration speech (printed in part below). Courage was its centerpiece, and courageous learning and living— then and now––belongs to the Finlandia experience for our students, as well as to all of us who serve them. I believe the presidency of any university such as ours calls for courage. And those of you here today who have walked with this place over the decades know this, as well. Yet, it is the courage embedded in our mission and embodied in our students that calls for our attention today. I have said this many times: it was Finlandia’s mission and identity that lured me, though reluctantly at first, to consider the presidency. It takes courage to live with a mission at all these days, I think. I’ve been tempted, even early on, to say, “Let’s cut to the bottom line: what’s marketable and makes money?” Why mission? Mission statements, vision statements, the kind that fill the first two pages of our, and most, academic catalogs, often get in the way, to be frank. -

Academic Editor: Tan Yigitcanlar Received: 4 January 2016; Accepted: 11 March 2016; Published: 21 March 2016 Abstract: Cycles of boom and bust plague mining communities around the globe, and decades after the bust the skeletons of shrunken cities remain. This article evaluates strategies for how former mining communities cope and strive for sustainability in the decades well beyond the bust, using a case study of Calumet, Michigan. In 1910, Calumet was at the center of the mining industry in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but in the century since its peak, mining employment steadily declined until the last mine closed in 1968, and the population declined by over 80%. This paper explores challenges, opportunities, and progress toward sustainability associated with arts-related development in this context. Methods are mixed, including observation, -

National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Business Management Group Keweenaw National Historical Park 2014 Business Plan Machine artifacts outside Quincy’s Old No. 2 Hoist House. Produced by National Park Service Business Management Group U.S. Department of the Interior Washington, DC Spring 2014 Business Planning in the National Park Service The purpose of business planning in the National Park Service (NPS) is to improve the ability of parks to communicate their financial and operational status to principal stakeholders. A business plan answers such questions as: What is the business of this park unit? What are its priorities over the next five years? How will the park allocate its resources to achieve these goals? The business planning process accomplishes three main tasks. First, it presents a clear, detailed picture of the state of park operations and priorities. Second, it outlines the park’s financial projections and specific strategies the park may employ to marshal additional resources toward its operational needs. Finally, it provides the park with a synopsis of its funding sources and expenditures. National Park Service Mission: The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and intrinsic values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The National Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.
