Extractions: Home The Journey Geography - The Great Plains In the 16th century Spanish explorers first saw the vast expanse of the grasslands, calling them a "sea of grass." The French colonists called them prairies, which means "large meadows." In many ways this term was certainly an understatement. In the historic period of the Indian occupation of the plains, before white intrusions, the prairies covered more land in what is now the United States than any other kind of vegetation - more area than the green deciduous forests of the east which spread from Maine to Georgia; more area than the deserts of the southwest; more area than the boreal forests of the north. Walt Whitman wrote of the prairie that it was "North America's characteristic landscape," and "while less stunning at first sight" than Yosemite, Niagara Falls and Yellowstone, "last[s] longer, fill[s] the aesthetic sense fuller, and precede[s] all the rest." The grass sometimes stood taller than a man, and in many places a horseman had to stand on his horse's back to get his bearings. The tops of the undulating grasses waved in the breeze like the waves of the ocean, stretching like an unbroken expanse of water to the horizon. Lewis and Clark saw these lands, as did Pike and Long. The first white settlers of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri also saw them, then promptly plowed them up and planted crops. This pattern continued across the plains, until by 1900 there were barely any examples of prairie land left. Getting rid of the original plants and animals of the plains so quickly contributed greatly to soil erosion and created the dustbowl of the 1920s and 1930s.

By Chris Redmond After Ten Weeks As A Dean At Waterloo A
And that s at the heart of why she took the job as dean, she says, just as it swhy she became chair of nebraska s geography department three years ago.
http://www.communications.uwaterloo.ca/Gazette/1992/Gazette, September 30, 1992/

Extractions: by Chris Redmond After ten weeks as a dean at Waterloo a university that's new to her, in a new country Dr. Jeanne Kay has her agenda in mind, but she also knows what she won't be able to do. "I learned a long time ago, much to my dismay, that I'm not Wonder Woman," Kay said in an interview last week, discussing what she's done and decided since she came to UW in mid-summer to be dean of environmental studies. Emphatically, she says she's glad she moved here, from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. She bursts with enthusiasm for this university, admiration for the two schools and two departments that make up the ES faculty, and excitement about the job she faces as dean. "One gets a tremendous sense of esprit de corps at this university," she said, "and a being on the cutting edge." One also gets a tremendous load of paperwork to read, a steady stream of visitors to the office, and a new academic (and national) culture and vocabulary to absorb. Kay says that she's now beginning to have "a context" into which new information and new acquaintances fit, but it's been overwhelming up to now. She has accepted that in the next little while she won't be doing any research herself. However, "I was informed when I was hired that I was expected to do research. . . . I take that charge very seriously." When she gets better established, in "a number of months", she'll resume the kind of work she has been doing, in historical geography: "How have people in the past understood their environments, how have they treated them, what has the impact been?" Over the years, at Nebraska and before that at the University of Utah, Kay applied the general framework of historical geography to a range of questions and periods, working on Mormon ecology, the environmental ethics of the ancient Hebrews, and the Great Lakes fur trade, among other matters. "I'm interested in introducing the variable of gender," she says. An example: she's working on a study of the household economy of 19th-century Mormon women in Utah and the surrounding territories. She's also thinking of doing some work on environmental ethics, "the development of an environmental ethic that is truly suitable for the majority of us in North America who live in urban areas. . . . "Is it possible for modern urban dwellers to have a profound relationship with the nature that's around us? What do we have to offer to the inner-city child?" One musing: "Do we alter our scale to include the reflection of the sky in a puddle to see nature in a single tree?" If research is still some months off, teaching is even further in the future, "probably next year". Kay says she thinks it would be "dangerous for administrators to get out of teaching . . . but I do think it's realistic not to ask people to do everything!" And that's at the heart of why she took the job as dean, she says, just as it's why she became chair of Nebraska's geography department three years ago. "I do see in North American universities today," she says, "a tremendous need for women to be in administration. It was an area where I could make a difference." What kind of difference? What kind of administrator? "I also have a firm conviction," she says, "that the best way to be an academic leader is to get to know the people, find out the direction they want to go, and then say, Let's do that! So I've been doing quite a bit of listening." In her listening since her mid-July arrival, Kay says diplomatically, she's taken two tacks: "Let's see what we're doing that's absolutely wonderful, and let's do more of that let's enhance it, let's publicize it. And then, what are the areas in which we should make some adjustments?" Talking without notes, she articulates a four-point agenda based on what she has heard: * Long-range planning for the ES faculty, in a time of tight money, a time when there's a lively public interest in "the environment", a time when other environment-related programs are being created at UW as well as at other institutions. "I see this," she says about planning, "as a process in which all sectors of the faculty are involved." The big question: "As a faculty, as a whole, what's our mission? What are our principal areas of intellectual leadership?" * The quality of education, and the quality of life for undergraduate and graduate students. A long report on that subject, prepared by ES students, greeted her this summer, and she says she and her colleagues "are just in the beginning stages" of dealing with it. The university has tiptop students, she says, and therefore "a moral obligation to provide the best education for them that we can afford!" * Research. "I don't see research and teaching as competitive issues," she says. "I think we need to do both." Acknowledging that external funding for research is going to be more and more important for financial reasons, she also sees advantages in work that joins ES researchers with people outside the university or in other parts of UW. "Some wonderful research would come out of it." And she adds that in a field such as ES, the meaning of "research" is necessarily going to be stretched. It includes "creative activity", such as the design work done by many people in fields such as architecture, and work in policy areas where environmental expertise is applied to immediate problems. * The working environment and the quality of life: "Are people who are working here happy, and if not, what can we do to make them happy?" She speaks of workplace stress, "personal development", and human rights under that heading, and is also candid about something she thinks she brings to bear: her status as the first woman to be the full-fledged dean of a faculty. (Dr. Pat Rowe was acting dean of arts in 1974, and is now dean of graduate studies.) "I've been welcomed on campus by any number of women," she says, "who are delighted that I'm present as the dean of an academic faculty." They're hoping, she says, that she somehow will be an advocate and a successful one for a "warmer climate" in the university. Not only women need that warmer climate, she goes on, speaking of human rights issues more generally. "This is a charge that I take very seriously . . . a climate that supports everybody. That is a goal towards which I'm happy to spend my term as dean." "The token woman", then? "To the extent that a token individual is asked to represent the woman's point of view or the environmental point of view that means that as a university we haven't come very far. . . . These points of view are being given more a of a hearing. . . . "When they become part and parcel of how we do things at the University of Waterloo, they're more likely to be effective." And she sees that happening, with increasing representation of women, with the appointment of officials who have "human rights" in their portfolios, with a campus- wide interest in doing things that are environmentally sound. As dean, she can be an agitator, but not the sole crusader, she says, pointing out that she may be an expert in one environmental field, but she can't know everything. So she'll be very happy to draw on the expertise of her colleagues. "Some of us are born generalists, some of us are born specialists," Kay says. "It's very clear to me that I am in the former camp. I hope that this will make me a better administrator."

Extractions: A veteran of the homebuilding industry, Dena Mentis is the foremost real estate columnist specializing in new home issues, trends, products and designs. Her columns appear in the New York Post as well as other newspapers throughout the U.S. There's no rhyme or reason to explain today's, price disparities for homes between one geographic area and another. The chasm can be enormous, dictating lifestyles, livelihoods, and life-altering decisions to relocate. For what is described in those free magazines in grocery store entrances as "charming" and "cozy" in certain parts of these United States, the advertisement may be referring to a 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow on a postage stamp lot with no garage in sight for $425,000. And in others, those terms may refer to a 5-bedroom, 3-bath house on a half-acre with a 3-car garage for $130,000. It always reminds me of my father's joke about the delicious steak dinner that only cost $6.75 in North Platte, Nebraska. Why is there such a difference in price between the dinner and one like it in places like Boston or San Francisco? Because when you wake up in the morning, you're still in North Platte, Nebraska . . .
