This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well. JAMAICA BAY RESTORATION PROJECTS: Since 1986, the Littoral Society has been organizing annual PROTECTING OUR MARINE LIFE shoreline cleanups to document debris and create a greater public awareness of the issue. This September, we’ll conduct Home to many species of fi sh & wildlife, Jamaica Bay has been many cleanups around the bay as part of the annual International degraded over the past 100 years through dredging and fi lling, Coastal Cleanup.

    FROM ASSOCIATES TO ANTAGONISTS: THE UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN, THE FIRST WORLD WAR, AND THE ORIGINS OF WAR PLAN RED, 1914-1919 Mark C. Gleason, B.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major-Professor Robert Citino, Committee Member Michael Leggiere, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Gleason, Mark C. From Associates to Antagonists: The United States, Great Britain, the First World War, and the Origins of WAR PLAN RED, 1914-1919. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 178 pp., bibliography, 144 titles. American military plans for a war with the British Empire, first discussed in 1919, have received varied treatment since their declassification. The most common theme among historians in their appraisals of WAR PLAN RED is that of an oddity. Lack of a detailed study of Anglo- American relations in the immediate post-First World War years makes a right understanding of the difficult relationship between the United States and Britain after the War problematic. As a result of divergent aims and policies, the United States and Great Britain did not find the diplomatic and social unity so many on both sides of the Atlantic aspired to during and immediately after the First World War. Instead, United States’ civil and military organizations came to see the British Empire as a fierce and potentially dangerous rival, worthy of suspicion, and planned accordingly. Less than a year after the end of the War, internal debates and notes discussed and circulated between the most influential members of the United States Government, coalesced around a premise that became the rationale for WAR PLAN RED.

For quite a while, it appeared that four Birthplace, major sites would lose state funding. At the last minute, however, two of the four Caldwell, were relieved to have state monies restored. The lucky two were the Old Barracks in Trenton and the Battleship New Jersey in Camden. Essex County Rich Patterson, executive director of the Old Barracks, said, “We are very happy October 2, 2010 to report that funding for the Old Barracks has been reinstated in this year's state *************************** budget. This funding will allow us to keep our doors open, and continue to provide Article and the best educational and historical experience in New Jersey. We are very grateful to our many friends who rallied to our side, made donations, became members, registration form on signed petitions, and phoned and emailed legislators, in order to make this happen. p. 19-20 We can’t thank you enough! “At the same time, we are mindful that these remain difficult times for everyone; our funding comes as a result of the state transferring $4 million from the New Jersey Cultural Trust, cutting the possibility of grants to other institutions in need. Moreover, our state funding remains flat, going back to 1994. So we still face critical budget issues, and will continue to depend upon the ongoing support of generous corporations, foundations, and folks like you.” Concerning the loss of $4 million dollars from the Cultural Trust, Mark Packer, president of ArtPride/NJ, the statewide advocacy organization, said “That is not what the Cultural Trust was intended to do.
