Πώς και δεν είχα ποτέ ένα τέτοιο πρόγραμμα διασκέδασης στο σχολείο;
Συνδυάζοντας τις κοινωνικές μελέτες, οι τέχνες επιστήμης και γλώσσας, σπουδαστές στο δημοτικό σχολείο φοινικών στο δίκαιο λιμάνι, Μίτσιγκαν, η τέταρτη τάξη που δίδαξε από Patti Adams πήραν να κάνουν ένα πραγματικά τακτοποιημένο πρόγραμμα για το πρόγραμμα σπουδών μελετών του Μίτσιγκάν τους. Έχτισαν τους φάρους. Καλά, μη πλήρης - ταξινομήστε τους αυτούς, αλλά τα μικρά λειτουργώντας πρότυπα που θα είναι στην αρχή 30 Μαΐου επίδειξης στο «μουσείο φάρων του Μίτσιγκαν» στην τάξη τους. Και θα αντιμετωπισθούν στο σκοτάδι, έτσι τα φω'τα μπορούν να λάμψουν ακριβώς όπως ένα πραγματικό.

Reuters India has
a story on Sally Snowman, the civilian lighthouse keeper at Little Brewster Island. Thanks to Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass), the light at Boston Harbor will always be tended to by a keeper. Snowman was hired in 2003 when the Coast Guard decided a civilian could do the job.

When Well-Intentioned Repairs Go Awry
In July 2007, Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse in Maryland reopened to the public for tours after a challenging restoration. Challenging partly because of the location in Chesapeake Bay, but also challenging because of well-intentioned but misguided repairs while under the management of the Coast Guard. Adrienne DeRan, of Structural Preservation Services in Maryland, has written an article detailing the challenges of repairing the repairs in a recent issue of Associated Construction Publications.

Vandalism, Neglect, Weather Takes Toll
One of New South Wales’ most endangered lighthouses, Crookhaven Head, may get some help to restore it to its natural beauty. The Shoalhaven City Council will be meeting May 27, 2008 to discuss options for restoring this most neglected of Australia’s lighthouses. In a story at the South Coast Register, the council’s Crown Reserve, Works and Community Operations committee discussed the community’s concern with the state of the light tower ad considered ways to turn the lighthouse and headland into a major tourist draw.
