Five major highways – I-81, I-80, I-84, I-380, and I-476 – meet here and provide quick access to the Northeast’s major metro areas. There are no major bridges or tunnels in the region to delay truck traffic. The average commute to work is about 20 minutes. More than 51 million people live within 200 miles of NEPA and more than 83 million live within 400 miles. New York City, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg can all be reached in about two hours. NEPA, also known as the Northern I-81 Corridor, is quickly accessible to most major seaports along the East Coast, which are predicted to experience increased volume once infrastructure upgrades to the Panama Canal are com- plete. Upgrades to the Canal will allow for the passage of “post-Panamax” ships with a capacity to carry 14,000 con- tainers (three times more than a ship can currently carry through the Canal). In addition to its excellent highway network, NEPA is served by several airports, a nationally known bus line, and several main line and short line railroads. 04 MERICLE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES COMMUNITY PROFILE LOCATION & TRANSPORTATION DISTANCE FROM CENTER OF NEPA TO KEY CITIES MILES 67 73 96 113 116 126 128 152 194 198 237 290 301 368 Allentown, PA Morristown, NJ Harrisburg, PA New York, NY Baltimore, MD Washington D.C.

Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

    PSYCHOLOGICAL CONQUEST: PILGRIMS, INDIANS AND THE PLAGUE OF 1616-1618 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAW AI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN mSTORY MAY 2008 By Alyson J. Fink Thesis Committee: Richard C. Rath, Chairperson Marcus Daniel Margot A. Henriksen Richard L. Rapson We certify that we have read this thesis and that, in our opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts in History. THESIS COMMITIEE ~J;~e K~ • ii ABSTRACT In New England effects of the plague of 1616 to 1618 were felt by the Wampanoags, Massachusetts and Nausets on Cape Cod. On the other hand, the Narragansetts were not affiicted by the same plague. Thus they are a strong exemplar of how an Indian nation, not affected by disease and the psychological implications of it, reacted to settlement. This example, when contrasted with that of the Wampanoags and Massachusetts proves that one nation with no experience of death caused by disease reacted aggressively towards other nations and the Pilgrims, while nations fearful after the epidemic reacted amicably towards the Pilgrims. Therefore showing that the plague produced short-term rates of population decline which then caused significant psychological effects to develop and shape human interaction. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ............................................................................................... .iii List of Tables ...........................................................................................v
