Oversight hearing on State Historic Preservation office Tuesday
By Anumita Kaur
For the second time in less than a month, the Legislature will hold an oversight hearing involving the Guam State Historic Preservation Office on Tuesday.
The first was held April 22, but the acting preservation officer, Carlotta Leon Guerrero, was not present due to medical reasons. That left most questions on the agenda unanswered.
Sen. Telena Nelson, who convened the oversights, scheduled the second hearing, noting that State Historic Preservation Officer Patrick Lujan would be back from active duty with the Air Force Reserve.

BENZONIA, Mich. A northern Michigan art studio that is a popular tourist destination has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The studio belonged to Gwen Frostic, who made stationery and prints from linoleum block carvings. The business began in Wyandotte in suburban Detroit in the 1950s before Frostic opened a shop in Frankfort and the Presscraft Papers studio in Benzonia in Benzie County.
Frostic died in 2001. The studio now is owned by Kim and Greg Forshee, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported.
The studio was nominated by Debra Ball Johnson, a historical architect with the State Historic Preservation Office. She recommended the studio for the National Register partly because few northern Michigan sites are associated with women.

Thousands of years before the first white settlers even set foot in the region, the West’s original inhabitants left their mark on the Birthing Rock.
Generation after generation etched dozens of images on all four sides of the iconic stone, spanning hundreds of years, withstanding time and the elements.
