Q L PR %:> T u I '04 V i m ABSTRACT THE PANAX CORPORATION: A CURRENT HISTORY BY Neila Edith Pomerantz The international communications company known as Panax, Incorporated,was started less than 20 years ago when John Peter McGoff, the son of a Pittsburgh steel worker, founded an FM radio station in a rural Michigan town. The company soon added several radio stations and then purchased daily and weekly newspapers. The marginally profitable radio and television stations were then abandoned as more weekly and daily papers were purchased, along with several printing companies. In the early 19703 advertising and promotion companies were acquired along with a shipping company, and by the mid-708 the growth of Panax had spread to include properties in Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, California,and South Africa. In 1975 McGoff set up Star Newspaper Company in order to buy a California daily and a controlling share of United Press International Television News Service based in London, England. He also tried to purchase the Washington Star—News but failed because the sellers found the promise of alter- nate bidder Joseph Allbritton to retain much of the staff Neila Edith Pomerantz more palatable than McGoff's proposal of totally revamping the Star-News operation.

  • An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (Introduction)
    The Pictured Rocks: An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (Introduction) Pictured Rocks An Administrative History INTRODUCTION One hundred years ago the north woods region of the American heartland was largely in private hands. It was the center of a rich and prosperous lumber industry, an important component in the national economy. Immigrants from foreign lands were drawn to the developing region by its abundant jobs and readily available land. One of the most remarkable, if little appreciated transitions in the history of American public lands, was the repossession of this region by government land managers during the century which followed. The administrative history of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore can only be understood in the context of a trend which saw the evolution of county, state and federal parks, forest, and game reserves in the Great Lakes region and the transition of the area from a forest products economy to a tourist destination. [1] The National Park Service was the last of the public agencies to turn its attention to the north woods and its problems of resource management and economic development. Isle Royale, the first national park in the north woods region, was established in 1941. Local efforts to establish parks at Indiana Dunes and Apostle Islands were frustrated by a federal establishment that failed to see the recreational potential of the inland seas. It was only with the Great Lakes Shoreline Survey in 1958 and the federal government's expansive approach to regional redevelopment in the early 1960s that the National Park Service became a force in the protection of Great Lakes landscapes.

  • Chapter 2 Cultural Heritage and Community Events
    CITY OF ISHPEMING MASTER PLAN Chapter 2.0 Cultural Heritage and Community Events 2.1 Cultural Heritage The City of Ishpeming is rich in heritage, destinations and recreation opportunities. Ishpeming’s cultural heritage is a perfect example of the “melting pot” approach to community life exhibited throughout the United States. Early Ishpeming residents flocked to the area to work in the mines, bringing many unique personalities as well as their strong work ethics to the area. The vast majority of settlers in the Ishpeming area were of European descent. For example, the 1870 Census reported a population of 6,103 residents, with 30% of residents being of Irish descent, 27% Cornish, and 18% of Swedish descent. In subsequent Census data, residents of Italian and Finnish heritage were strongly represented as well. Each group of immigrants brought their own special customs which have made Ishpeming the unique place it is today. 2.2 Famous Ishpeming Residents • Sam Cohodas Sam Cohodas was born in Poland in 1895 and emigrated to Marinette, WI in 1903. At the young age of 13, Mr. Cohodas and his brother became the Copper Country agents for their uncle’s produce business; in 1915 the brothers started their own produce business in the Copper Country. Over the years, the brothers bought or merged with competitors and expanded their claim in the produce business. In 1933, Sam Cohodas lead a community effort to reopen the Miner’s First National Bank. This effort grew into a holding company that represented nine financial institutions in the Upper Peninsula. Over the years, Mr.

CHAPTER I FAMILY BACKGROUND (Before 1860) Howarth’s History of Downe, Kent, England, states that the Mannings were ―The most distinguished of the earlier families of Downe.‖ They came from Simon de Manning, ―the first of the English Barons to go with King Richard I (1189–1199) to the Holy Wars in the Second Crusade, when he was knighted.‖ (Manning genealogy) My father, Jacob Warren Manning, born 1826, died 1894, was of the eighth generation from William Manning of England, who settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1634. Father’s parents were Solomon, born 1799, died 1862, and Mary Fletcher Manning, born 1800, died 1878. They were descended from Fletcher, Warren, Andrews, Woodward, Beard, Sprague, and other families. Mary Fletcher was of the seventh generation from Robert Fletcher, who was in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1630.
