San Juan Islands August 23-27, 2016 Join Dennis and Charlot Nelson Singleton Professor of Biological Sciences Bart De Stasio ’82 and Zodiac crewmember Dana Raugi ’06 for the trip of a lifetime, exploring the magnificent waters of the San Juan Islands aboard the historic Schooner Zodiac! Sailing the Zodiac is an experience like none other. We’ll spend five blissful days learning to sail following the wind and the currents, and if we’re lucky, maybe some whales too. Guests are encouraged to pitch in to raise Zodiac’s 7000 square feet of sails, help with sailing maneuvers, and take a turn at the helm, all under the guidance of the Zodiac’s experienced captain and crew. While wind will guide our sails, marine biology will guide many of our experiences, including the opportunity to learn about local underwater environments using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Each evening, we’ll pick a secluded bay and drop the anchor. Optional shore excursions may include touring a picturesque lighthouse, tasting artisan beers, wines, or chocolates, hiking, and playing in tide-pools. Or make use of Zodiac’s kayaks or sailing dinghy while the sea lions and harbor seals look on in curiosity. Swap stories from your time at Lawrence or compare notes from the day’s sailing over a delicious meal as the sun sinks behind the Olympic Mountains, then retire to your cozy bunk or stateroom. Only time will tell what wonders the next day will bring, but it’s guaranteed to be fantastic! Wind will never feel the same. Special Guests: Bart De Stasio ’82 conducted graduate studies in marine and freshwater biology at the University of Rhode Island (zoology program and graduate school of oceanography) and received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in ecology and evolution. A student of the first Lawrence Marine Term trip to Grand Cayman, BWI in 1980, he has more than 30 years of experience with marine biology and is the current Director of the Lawrence University Marine Biology Program. His research focuses on the similarities of ecological processes across marine and freshwater ecosystems, and he has won awards from Cornell University and the American Society for Limnology & Oceanography for his work. He has published numerous papers on food web interactions in near shore habitats of the Baltic Sea and the Laurentian Great Lakes, and continues studies with his students comparing the effects of invasive species on those systems. Bart was a crewmember during Colleague Cruise S190A on board the SSV R.C. Seamans, a 134 ft Brigantine sailed by the Sea Education Association to teach undergraduates about sailing and oceanography. He fondly remembers that “Tall Ship” experience and looks forward to building shared memories with you on the Schooner Zodiac! Dana Raugi ’06 is a Western Washington native and has been a Schooner Zodiac crew member since 2009, helping with everything from off-season maintenance to rigging. Some work hard to achieve work-life balance but Dana is committed to a work-sail balance, doing as much sailing as her land- based obligations permit. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in natural sciences (biology and chemistry) from Lawrence, Dana went on to earn a Master of Public Health in epidemiology from the University of Washington. She is currently employed as a research scientist studying HIV-2 drug resistance and managing research studies in Senegal, West Africa. Schooner Zodiac was built for the heirs to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune and was designed to epitomize the best features of the American fishing Schooners. In 1928, she competed in the Transatlantic Race for the King’s Cup from New York Harbor to Santander, Spain and placed fourth. During the Great Depression, the Zodiac was sold to the San Francisco Bar Pilots and renamed “California.” She worked the hostile waters outside the Golden Gate Bridge for forty years, retiring in 1972 as the last working pilot schooner in the United States. In the mid-1970s, the Vessel Zodiac Corporation was formed to restore, maintain, and operate the schooner, whose original name was promptly restored. Drawing on an experienced and enthusiastic cadre of sailors and shipwrights, the ship has been lovingly restored to her former beauty. The Zodiac is now a US Coast Guard certified passenger vessel and is on the US National Register of Historic Places.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures, assists the NPS in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2006), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management.

    The Secretary of State's Register of Culturally Significant

    THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S REGISTER OF CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY AS A TOOL FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND DIPLOMACY by REBECCA RUTH HAGER (Under the Direction of JAMES K. REAP) ABSTRACT In 2000 the United States Department of State created a tool to aid in the recognition and protection of its historically, culturally, and architecturally significant buildings overseas. This inventory, the Secretary of State’s Register of Culturally Significant Property, numbers embassies, residences, offices, and a museum among its twenty sites. The Register does not prevent the sale or destruction of its designated properties, but rather emphasizes government and public awareness of the cultural fabric. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects of designation on sites on the Register in order to determine how the nomination and designation process can be improved to effect greater diplomacy, awareness, and preservation of the properties on a local, national, and international scale. The ideas developed in this thesis are based primarily on discussions with Department of State professional staff and firsthand travel to some of the sites described.
