Across the Globe, the Honolulu Alliance, a community organization is opposing the National Heritage Area for mapping district areas over cultural sites in Hawaii. Check out their webpage for more info, honolulualliance.org/Opposition_to_NHA.html
Locally, the Essex National Heritage Area has awarded the Mayor of Salem, Kimberley Driscoll, '2011 Essex Heritage Hero' (essexheritage.org/heroes/driscoll.shtml).... despite the fact that the Mayor of Salem is pushing for development over recreational and cultural areas of heritage. Spring Pond Woods is named one of the "1000 Great Places in Massachusetts", there are many wetlands to protect, and Camp Lion is inventoried as a recreational open space to preserve, including other historic and environmental concerns. Why the change now to develop these areas? Where is our heritage hero?
We should have been nominated as Essex Heritage Hero. You truly are! --Next year!
ReplyDeleteThanks anon :)
ReplyDeleteThe only award I wish for is to see this area preserved as it rightfully should be.
Has Salem replied to the lawsuit?
ReplyDeleteDriscoll should be ashamed of herself!
ReplyDeleteOne who is heartless and selfish doesn't have the capacity to be ashamed of oneself.
