  • Wilderness Hero 3
    Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center’s Wilderness Investigations High School Wilderness Hero #3 John F. Kennedy President John F. Kennedy; 35th U.S. President (No copyright indicated) Common Core Standard Connections Standards addressed will vary depending on how the teacher chooses to approach the lesson and/or activities. Instructions for the teacher: Rarely, if ever, is one individual responsible for the hard work and vision involved in bringing about wilderness legislation, specific wilderness designation, or wilderness management. The 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was an important player in the ultimate success of the Wilderness Act of 1964 (signed into law the year after his untimely death). John F. Kennedy is the focus of this Wilderness Hero spotlight. To help students get to know this amazing wilderness hero, choose one or more of the following: • Photocopy and hand out Wilderness Hero Sheet #3 to each student. 143 o Based on the information found there, have them write a short news article about John F. Kennedy and his role in the story of designated wilderness. • From the list of wilderness quotes found within Wilderness Hero Sheet #3, have students select one or more, copy the quote, and then interpret what the quote(s) means to them. • Use the handout as the basis of a short mini-lesson about John F. Kennedy and wilderness. • Have students research John F. Kennedy’s presidency and from their findings create a timeline showing important events taking place during President Kennedy’s administration (January 1961 – November 1963). o This was a time of significant national and world events (Cuban Missile Crisis, civil rights movement, early Viet Nam War involvement, financial challenges, etc.).

  • Turkey Vulture Migration in Veracruz, Mexico
    426 SHORT COMMUNICATIONS as scattered small groups of vultures were seen as we traveled south to the city of Veracruz. More small flocks were seen west of Veracruz on the following day. The migrating vultures seemed to be restricted to the coastal lowlands since no additional flocks were seen once we left that area. Similar flights have been observed during autumn in Panama by Loftin (Carib. J. Sci., 3:63- 64, 1963) and Hicks, Rogers, and Child (Bird-Banding, 37:123, 1966). Eisenmann (Smithson. Misc. Coll., 117: 13, 1952) has reported large flocks over Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, in the spring. Of the studies on the birds of Veracruz, only Wetmore (Proc. U.S. Natl. Mus., 93:237, 1943) has commented on a large migration of Turkey Vultures. He observed the steady passage of numerous small groups of vultures through southern Veracruz on 6 and 10 April 1939. His largest group contained about 50 birds. To the best of our knowledge, our obser- vation is the first record of large migratory flocks of Turkey Vultures in Veracruz.-LouIs J.

  • Carolina Charter Tercentenary Commission General Records
    • CAROLINA CHARTER TERCENTENARY COMMISSION GENERAL RECORDS Accession information: Transferred from the State Records Center on March 5, 1973; April 26, 1973; and January 9, 1974; accessioned by the Archives on March 26, 1973; May 29, 1973, and January 9, 1974. Schedule references: Inventories of State Agencies, Division of Archives and History, page 32, item 4; page 33, items 5 and 8; and page 34, items 9, 11, and 12. Arrangement: See description of contents below. Finding Aid prepared by the History 552 class , North Carolina State University, Spring Semester, 1974; consolidated on November 15, 1974. The Carolina Charter Tercentenary Commission was established by the 1959 General Assembly to develop and execute a program for the celebration of the tercentenary of the Carolina Charter of 1663.1 A commission comprised of twenty-five members was created by the legis­ lature. Twenty-two of the commission ' s members were to be appointed by the governor to serve two-year terms, and the remaining three ex officio members were the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development, and the Director of the Department of Archives and History.2 Of major significance was the commission's decision to broaden • the scope of the tercentenary celebration to encompass the first one hundred years of North Carolina ' s existence. The commission decided to expand the time period from 1663 to 1763 for several reasons. First, no suitable focus in terms of geography or time existed in North Caro­ lina to sustain a year long celebration for the year 1663. 3 Secondly, the development of North Carolina was a slow process.

  • Shorebird Migration at Norman, Oklahoma: 1961-63
    SHOREBIRD MIGRATION AT NORMAN, OKLAHOMA: 1961-63 LEWIS W. ORING AND W. MARVIN DAVIS EPEATED censusing of a limited area provides a valuable source of quanti- R tative migration data despite the many variables involved. Though several such studies of shorebirds have been conducted on or near the Atlantic and Pacific coasts (Urner, 1929; Urner and Storer, 1949; Storer, 1951; Dyke, 1955) no comparable data are available from the central flyway region. This report is a result of observations made from 1 March 1961 to 15 No- vember 1963 at a small impoundment in Norman, Oklahoma. DESCRIPTION OF AREA Norman, Oklahoma is adjacent to the floodplain of the Canadian River. The river flows generally from west to east across the state, but follows a northwest to southeast direction for a considerable distance on both sides of Norman. Native woody vegetation near the city is limited to areas along the river and other streams. Max Westheimer Airfield was developed as a military base in 1942, and is presently operated by the University of Oklahoma. More than 200 acres of asphalt remain, considerable portions of which are not used as runways or taxiways. One such unused area has been the site of a pond since 1949 or 1950. At that time a drainage ditch was dammed in the pasture adjacent to the west edge of the airfield. Except for periods of extreme drought, the pond extends from the pasture onto the airfield as a shallow pool having a maximum depth of about two feet, a length of about 300 yards, a width of about 70 yards, and an area of about three acres.
