They see the land with an aesthetic value, and find beauty in the coastal landscape and many natural structures, as well as the feel of belonging to a community. The scientists and conservationists are interested in the ecosystem and its protection.…
As summer students we see what has been written in the binders or hear stories of where houses, stores and things used to be. It was interesting to see where this person used to live and how big Point Tupper really was before industry came in and took over. It will definitely serve us well next time someone comes in asking where some houses were standing before everything changed. Our picnic was a hit we had over 150 families with ties to Point Tupper registered and even more to learn more about our forgotten community. Sunday, July 3rd marked our commemorative church service for Point Tupper it was led by Lorena Forbrigger, Frances Warner and Marie Langley with a special speech from our Association president Alice Beaton for a plaque presentation in the name of Point Tupper Heritage Museum.…

Applying to colleges, jobs, or certain schools is a difficult process to do. Your application must be accurate and efficient. Also, you have to compete with other people that desperately want the same position as you do. However, before you can assume that you want the ‘spot’, you have to know what the requirements are and why do you feel like you're the best choice. For example, if you are an advanced eighth grader in the tri-cities region of Virginia, you are capable to apply for the governor school, which are Maggie L. Walker and Appomattox Regional.…

One reason why we decided to work with the Dorothy Day House stems from us the importance of family dynamics and how parents want nothing more than to ensure their kids future. Another reason the Dorothy Day House caught our attention was that they house any type of family. Their families are diverse in make-up, size, age, religion and ethnicity but share the common bonds of poverty and homelessness (“Dorothy”). The Dorothy Day House does not criticize people when it comes to housing families, but rather look at what they can do to help. This foundational thinking comes from their Christian namesake, Dorothy Day, whose ideals we too admired.…
Through going up in Green Bay and De Pere, Wisconsin, there has always been a topic that has continuously appeared and disappeared. That is the condition of the Fox River, throughout my childhood I was never able to fully use the river to swim or fish within. That is because of the dangerously high levels of pollution that are within the water. The river has been found to have 209 chemicals found in a study by Sharon A. Fitzgerald and Jeffrey J. Steuer. Throughout my studies, I have found great effort to restore the river to the conditions it had been before the comings of the paper mills.…
