SUMMARY OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Goal One: SPIRITUAL RENEWAL. To encourage spiritual formation and growth of laity and clergy. Goal Two: YOUNG PEOPLE. To strengthen congregational and diocesan programs for youth, college students and other young adults. Goal Three: OUTREAch. To expand ministries of service witness and advocacy through reaching and serving people beyond ourselves. Goal Four: HOSPITALITY AND INCORPORATION. To expand and empower congregations through the increasing involvement of new and existing members. Goal Five: CONGREGATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. To start new congregations and to nurture and sustain existing ones. Goal Six: DIOCESAN STRUCTURES AND RESOURCES. To ensure that the structure and resources of the Diocese promote achievement of these goals. i DIOCESE OF NORTH CAROLINA MISSION ACTIONS — 2007 ACTIONS PERTAINING TO DIOCESAN STRUCTURE The recommendations from the Diocesan Structure Subcommittee are based on these guiding considerations: • We are a resource-size diocese, though we have been functioning as a smaller, pastoral-size diocese. In order to operate more effectively, and in order to avoid burn-out among staff and frustration among congregations, we need to increase staff size and organize ourselves in a way that allows for healthy diocesan and congregational inter-action that is not Bishop-dependent. • We are a diocese in transition, due to both our place in the Anglican Communion and our expressed desire to be transformed into a missionary diocese. Because of this change element in our life as a diocese, we must avoid making permanent staffing and property decisions which will commit our energies and resources in ways that might restrict the unfolding of our new life. • We are a diocese in need of review and restructure, especially with regard to how we make decisions. If we are to undergo the deep transformation we desire, we must be open to changing the ways in which we do business together. EPIscOPAL DIOCESE OF NORTH CAROLINA PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PHASE II OF THE MIssION ACTION PLAN APPROVED BY DIOCESAN COUNCIL JUNE 29, 2006 1. REGIONAL MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT The revitalization and development of the existing congregations of the diocese as communities where disciples of Jesus are formed and through which God’s mission in the world is lived out is at the heart of MIT Phase II. The growth and development of the work of the Episcopal Church will depend as much on the revitalization of the existing churches as on the establishment of new churches. As such, Phase II of the MIT wisely proposes a regional approach and strategy to this revitalization and development of congregations. I believe this strategy to be not only sound but essential. Such an approach provides needed support and resources for congregations on the local/regional level. It also creates a practical system of inter-connectedness and a network of relationships between congregations, regions and the wider diocese. It addresses the need for both the development and resourcing of congregations, through direct and substantial interaction with the diocesan structure. ii MISSION ACTIONS As a means of implementing such a regional structure I am proposing the following. First, that we adopt the principle of Regionalized Support and Resourcing as a basic strategy for the revitalization of the existing church in our diocese. This is an essential strategic decision which drives the essence of Phase II. An appendix outlining the regional ministry approach is appended to this. Second, that we phase in this model, rather than attempting to jump into it all at once. I am proposing that we do so with the establishment of a first phase region to be established in the 2nd half of 2007. Given the importance of the regional strategy to diocesan wide revitalization on the congregational level and given the significant investment required to accomplish it, it seems most prudent to begin with a first phase, as a way of testing the model and refining it for future incorporation and development throughout the diocese. Third, that we establish a task force by August 2006 to be charged with fleshing out the details of the model, identifying actions steps and establishing a time line necessary to implement the first phase in the Fall of 2007. Further, this task force would be charged with identifying a process for evaluation and review of the first phase in the third year of its existence (probably 2010), to provide a basis for modification of the model, based on our experience, and to guide us in expanding it until we reach the level of the four regions proposed in the MIT Report. Funding: Funding of the first phase seems appropriately support from the resources generated by the sale of the Summit. The essential cost will be that of a regional missioner, office expenses, etc. This approach offers a responsible means of investment in the future of the diocese, as the same time it supports the development of a new model for ministry. It allows us to begin with one region rather than four at once. It allow us to learn from the experience and then target the investment of funds and people based on actual experience. It provides a means of graduating into a regional system, living with it, and only then making longer term institutional changes and commitments (canonical changes of convocation) after experience warrants. Within the 5-7 yrs of Phase II the regional system could be well established, flourishing, and accomplishing the work of revitalizing congregations as communities of those who follow Jesus. 2. LAND FOR NEW CONGREGATIONS We presently have three congregations in formation that will soon need assistance in the acquisition of land. While multiple sources of funding and procurement will be needed, the diocese itself must be a major source of funds and support as well. Additionally, future new congregations in Phase III need to be established with plans for land issues addressed and funded. The level of funding needed will require significant fund raising via a capital campaign, annual appeal or other identified means. In the course of developing a plan for funding land for new congregations, it will be important for the Council to be in conversation with the North Carolina Episcopal Church Foundation to discover ways of collaboration on this matter. iii DIOCESE OF NORTH CAROLINA 3. YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT During Phase I a substantial amount of work needed to further develop Youth Ministry in the diocese on the local/regional level will take place. The same is true for the establishment of Young Adult ministry. Phase II is the period of exercising these ministry developments as a primary way of forming disciples of Jesus on the local and regional level. Funding: The youth and young adult ministry initiatives should, in my opinion, eventually be funded from the Mission and Ministry budget. That funding will need to be supplemented from resources generated from the sale of the Summit on a graduated declining basis. The direct service being provided congregations in this area should provide a strong basis for this becoming a budget area funded through askings. 4. SCHOOL OF MINISTRY During Phase II, I envision the development of the School of Ministry as a resource for and a means of fostering lay adult theological education, spiritual formation and training for ministry throughout the diocese. I envision gradual reduction in subsidy of the School from trust funds, with its support being assumed in a graduated way by the mission and ministry budget and from grants and other sources. The same logic of graduated support through askings would seem to apply here as well. 5. RENEWED EMPHASIS ON GOSPEL-BASED SOCIAL MINISTRY Organization. The MIT Report envisioned the placement of regional Deacons in the four regions. Such a plan could foster and encourage the work of service, justice and outreach on the regional/local level. It will be important to consult with the community of Deacons about this matter. The diocesan, national and global levels of this witness could be coordinated by one of the regional ministers with service, justice and outreach as his/her diocesan focus.

    SILVER SLOPES: PRESERVING NORTH AMERICA’S SKI LODGES by WILLIAM CHAD BLACKWELL (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT An examination of the unique case for the historic preservation of the ski lodges of North America. A brief history and evolution of ski resorts addresses the historic significance of ski lodges as a cultural resource. Case studies of five ski lodges provide a representative look at this unique resource. An analysis of the ski lodge as a cultural resource, its place as a twentieth century building type, and the ramifications in a preservation context concludes the argument. INDEX WORDS: Historic preservation, Ski lodges, Twentieth century building types, Sun Valley Lodge, Sun Valley Inn, Challenger Inn, Timberline Lodge, Chalet des Voyageurs, Mont Tremblant Inn, Berthoud Pass Lodge, Mount Ashland Lodge SILVER SLOPES: PRESERVING NORTH AMERICA’S SKI LODGES by WILLIAM CHAD BLACKWELL BA, History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1996 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION ATHENS, GEORGIA 2005 © 2005 William Chad Blackwell All Rights Reserved SILVER SLOPES: PRESERVING NORTH AMERICA’S SKI LODGES by WILLIAM CHAD BLACKWELL Major Professor: Wayde Brown Committee: Pratt Cassity John Kissane Michael Tarrant Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia August 2005 DEDICATION Dedicated to my mother and father who, on many summer vacations to historic sites, fanned my interest in historic places. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was made more difficult by the geographic distance between the author and the subject matter.

The Beardsley Collection, as it is now known, was amassed around the turn of the 20th century by George F. and Alice W. Beardsley of San Francisco and Carmel, California, and comprises ethnographic, natural history and decorative art objects from Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and North America. My research traces and analyzes the shifting sociohistorical significance and value of the Collection through three phases of its commodified career: first as a privately developed collection that reflects the lives and subjectivities of the Beardsleys, second as a museum acquisition and embodiment of mid-twentieth century disciplinary concerns, and lastly as, itself, a museum “artifact” worthy of ethnographic inquiry.

Our findings about the relative wealth of members of nine families show how the frontieraffected their migrationpatterns. We findthat it was the middleclass, not the poor, who seemed to make best use of the opportunityof the frontier. THE idea that the American frontierprovided an opportunityfor the poor in America to better themselves is so persuasive that attempts to disprove it have had little effect, even though, by generalconsent, the United States was socially and economically stratified when it is thoughtthe frontierclosed in the 1890s. As data have become available, earlierperiods have also been found less egalitarianthan presumed. Yet recently Douglas Jones, writing of New England villages in the 1780s and 1790s, has again postulated the safety-valve theory.' For the past few years, we have been following the migrationsof nine New England families whose ancestors first came to Massachusetts before 1650.

Sokoloff NBER Working Paper No. 10923 November 2004 JEL No. N2, N6, O3 ABSTRACT For those who think of Cleveland as a decaying rustbelt city, it may seem difficult to believe that this northern Ohio port was once a hotbed of high-tech startups, much like Silicon Valley today. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cleveland played a leading role in the development of a number of second-industrial-revolution industries, including electric light and power, steel, petroleum, chemicals, and automobiles. In an era when production and inventive activity were both increasingly capital-intensive, technologically creative individuals and firms required greater and greater amounts of funds to succeed. This paper explores how the city's leading inventors and technologically innovative firms obtained financing, and finds that formal institutions, such as banks and securities markets, played only a very limited role.
