Alabaster Township was settled in 1863 and established in 1866. It got its name from a certain type of gypsum found off the shoreline around 1837. A mine was opened in 1862, and Alabaster began it's prosperous boom.
People journeyed to the area looking for work, including many European immigrants. By 1905 the population was 600 and homes needed to be constructed for the mine workers and their families.
Even though you wouldn't realize it when you look at current photos, the town of Alabaster once had three churches (Catholic, Lutheran & Methodist), cooper shop, three fisheries, general store, two hotels, plaster works, post office, sawmill, schoolhouse, stave mill, steamboat, wagonmaker, and warehouse.
By 1918 the population had reduced to 400.
In 1928, a 6,350 foot marine tramway was built that jutted out into Lake Huron, supplying ships that pulled into Saginaw Bay.
By 1962.the post office had shut down. In the 1990's the marine tramway was mostly demolished and abandoned, with a newer, shorter version being built about three miles north.
The old tramway is still visible and is an impressive sight. It's located near the old business district of Alabaster, with all old businesses gone and disappeared.
Alabaster is registered by the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Take a look at the photos below of current-day Alabaster and the old tramway - maybe they'll encourage you to add this historic little stop to your Michigan roadtrip!Key features of Monger Track, a Sales employee tracking APP

- AngličtinaNo-No Boy, by John Okada, is an icon in Japanese-American literature and the first novel to address the aftermath of Japanese-American internment (see also: Japanese Americans Interned, 1942-1945).
Okada tells the story of Ichiro Yamada, a “no-no boy,” who questions his identity following internment and incarceration during World War II. “No-no boys” is the term for Japanese American men who answered “no” to the two “loyalty” questions on the army’s mandatory questionnaire during WWII, indicating that they were unwilling to serve in the armed forces or to swear allegiance to the U.S. “No-no boys” were labeled as “disloyal,” segregated in concentration camps, and often incarcerated in federal prison. Following its publication in 1957, No-No Boy received little attention due to its sympathetic portrayal of “no-no boys” and the pressure in Japanese American communities’ to stress their loyalty.
With the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, a new dialogue of resistance and wartime dissent in the 1970s, fostered ideal conditions for the rediscovery of Okada’s novel. Increased Asian immigration brought momentum to forge an “Asian American” identity. Third-generation Japanese Americans spurred movements to end the silence on Japanese internment. Universities established Asian American Studies departments. Within this context, a group of Asian American writers came together to reprint No-No Boy as part of the Combined Asian American Resources Project in 1976. Okada’s work became a reference point around Japanese identity, the World War II experience, and for its parallels to resistance during the Vietnam War.BACKGROUND: Abi Billinghurst set up the social enterprise Abianda in 2014, to support gang-affected young women and the professionals who work with them. Abianda was recognised by Nesta and The Observer as a new radical in 2016, and receives funding from The Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn, MOPAC and the Mayor’s Young Londoners Fund amongst others.
Abi has collaborated with a number of organisations to develop participatory and strengths-based approaches to working with vulnerable adolescents. She has written training tools for young people and professionals across Europe, to respond to young people’s experiences of sexual violence and to support efforts to prevent sexual violence. She regularly supports local authorities and government to shape responses to gang-affected young women.

I founded Abianda to bring about a culture shift in provision for gang-affected young women who traditionally neither felt safe accessing, nor trusted, services. Young women would, therefore, deal with adversity, risk and harm within their peer group, rather than reaching out for professional support. As this service provision was not working for gang-affected young women, I wanted to create something that did.
The young women we work with may have experienced: sexual exploitation, rape, group sexual abuse; threats of violence and abuse towards them and their families, including threats to life; gang harassment and assault; and coercion into criminal activity. This coercion may have led young women to participate in county lines and drug dealing; to carry weapons; and/or to perpetrate violent assault.
Our unique model of practice addresses the barriers that stop young women seeking help. By asking young women the right questions and offering an equal, transparent relationship, we help them to discover their own resilience and competence and to develop the power to change their situation.
Our reputation as specialists has been built on the integrity and loyalty we hold to our principles and participatory approaches towards engaging high risk / high vulnerability young women. This leads to our key strength: young women affected by the issues we address are embedded in our organisation through Young Trainer work, participatory and ongoing feedback, and our Young Women’s Business Advisory Group.
We have constant direct consultation access with those we are trying to reach so are continuously informed of the realities of their lives. By offering a culturally different service to those young women affected by gangs have previously experienced, we also help them move from a ‘deficit’ to a ‘competence’ based model; allowing them to set the agenda and lead service provision.
Over 2018, we grew from 2 to 8 full-time members of staff, not including freelancers and a growing cohort of Young Trainers. Over 2019, we will consolidate our service delivery, embedding the team of practitioners to ensure the quality and integrity of our service delivery as we significantly increase our reach.
We will grow the commercial arm of Abianda, so that we deliver more training resulting in meaningful paid employment opportunities for Young Trainers.
A significant challenge for young women affected by gangs and county lines is that they can be an overlooked group. Having young women who have been affected by gangs or county lines deliver training ensures that professionals from a wide range of sectors and specialisms understand the realities of young women’s lives and experiences, and the problems they face in the context of gangs.
Our Young Trainers explain the barriers that stop gang-affected young women accessing services. This means that professionals will be better equipped to support young women affected by sexual exploitation in the context of gangs and county line activity.This paper considers the balance between erosion and formation of soil under natural and clearfell deforestation (with subsequent plantation establishment
