    This 54-acre tract 254 in Cataloochee was owned by W. D. Messer. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes. A few historic buildings have been preserved on site, including two churches, a school, several homes, and outbuildings. The North Carolina Park Commission was tasked with purchasing land for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and people living in Cataloochee were among those displaced. Cataloochee families continue to return for annual reunions. In 2001, the National Park Service re-introduced elk into the valley

    Using agricultural preservation priorities derived from an analytical hierarchy process by 23 conservation experts from 18 agencies in the state of Delaware, this research uses weighted benefit measures to evaluate the historical success of Delaware’s agricultural protection fund, which spent nearly 100millioninitsfirstdecade.Thisresearchdemonstrateshowtheseoperationresearchtechniquescanbeusedinconcerttoaddressrelevantconservationquestions.Resultssuggestthatthestatessealedbidofferauction,whichdeterminestheyearlyconservationselections,issuperiortobenefittargetingapproachesfrequentlyemployedbyconservationorganizations,butisinferiortotheoptimizationtechniqueofbinarylinearprogrammingthatcouldhaveprovidedadditionalbenefitstothestate,suchas12,000additionalacresworthanestimated100 million in its first decade. This research demonstrates how these operation research techniques can be used in concert to address relevant conservation questions. Results suggest that the state’s sealed-bid-offer auction, which determines the yearly conservation selections, is superior to benefit-targeting approaches frequently employed by conservation organizations, but is inferior to the optimization technique of binary linear programming that could have provided additional benefits to the state, such as 12,000 additional acres worth an estimated 25 million.conservation optimization, farmland protection, analytic hierarchy process, binary linear programming, Environmental Economics and Policy, Land Economics/Use, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies,

    Woman\u27s Club, aka The Russ- Messer House, Marianna FL The house was built in 1864 by Joseph T. Russ for his wife Mary. In 1891 Theodore D. West and his wife Mary sold the house to Sally C. Messer. For 59 years it was known as the Messer home. In 1950 the Marianna Woman\u27s Club bought the house with grant money they had received for eradicating hookworm in Jackson County. The house was restored and modified to house a club room, clinic and library. The woman\u27s clubs maintained the public library here for 26 years. The building is owned jointly by the Marianna Woman\u27s Club and the Marianna Junior Woman\u27s Club. The house now provides a meeting place for the Marianna Woman\u27s Club and serves as a community clubhouse for area social activities.
