Evensong “Last Rose of Summer”

906 Day

Michigan Upper Peninsula  | Agriculture & Rural Development

September 6 is an “unofficial holiday” celebrating Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (the “906” area code). Northern Michigan University is in Marquette, right in the heart of the UP, so the day is a big local pride thing on and around campus.

Pasties are the classic UP food: handheld meat-and-vegetable pies brought by Cornish miners in the 1800s and now a Yooper staple. One of the most common ways people are told to celebrate 906 Day is simply to eat a pasty (along with things like playing cribbage or swimming in Lake Superior). Local shops often run 906-themed specials, such as a pasty + sides for $9.06.

NMU has its own pasty history that ties into this culture. In 1978, as part of Homecoming, the university baked what it billed as the world’s largest pasty (unofficial Guinness record): 12 feet by 6 feet, over 1,000 pounds of filling, baked for six hours, and served to more than 2,000 students. The school still highlights it on its achievements page.

So the connection is cultural rather than one single official NMU event: 906 Day = UP pride day in Marquette, pasties = the food that represents the UP, and NMU sits in the middle of both.

ICYMI:

  • Northern Michigan University has genuine institutional pasty history. NMU says its students produced the “world’s largest pasty” during Homecoming in 1978: 250 lb beef, 400 lb potatoes, 75 lb carrots, 25 lb onions and 250 lb of dough. It reportedly fed more than 2,000 students.
  • More importantly for your dinner-post purposes, an NMU history piece explicitly says NMU and Michigan Tech dining operations have long served pasties to students.
  • Michigan Technological University is even better documented. Michigan Tech has published the actual Cornish pasty recipe used by Dining Services—skirt steak, potato, onion and rutabaga—and its 2026 Alumni Reunion included a Pasty Dinner in the Memorial Union Ballroom.

There’s even a third Michigan angle: University of Michigan‘s U.P. Scholars program holds a 906 Day celebration where U.P. students gather over pasties. In one documented year they brought in pasties for more than 130 students.

The “New York Times” Is Not the “United States Times”

The New York Times is a powerful, well-resourced newspaper based in Manhattan. It sees much, reports much and influences the conversation of the republic. But Manhattan is not the republic. A newspaper, however distinguished, looks outward from somewhere; and the somewhere matters.

Its newsroom, sources and habitual audience gather largely in New York, Washington and the other metropolitan precincts of the educated professional class. From such places certain things appear enormous and others scarcely visible. Crime, energy, religion, guns, immigration and class acquire the proportions given them by the city. What seems self-evident in Brooklyn may look rather different in Boise, Birmingham or Bakersfield.

This is not principally a complaint about bias. It is a question of scale and perspective. The modern metropolis has an old temptation: to mistake the intensity of its own conversation for the breadth of the civilization surrounding it. Yet beyond the newsroom lie counties, workshops, farms, churches, substations, schoolhouses and kitchen tables where the country conducts most of its ordinary life, frequently without appearing above the fold.

National influence is therefore not national representation. A serious reader uses the Times for what it does exceptionally well — reporting, investigation and the argument of the governing and professional classes — but reads outward from it as well: local newspapers, regional voices, primary documents and, not least, direct observation.

The map is larger than Manhattan.  The republic contains more voices than its loudest newspaper, and more life than can be gathered into a morning edition.

“Millworker” James Taylor

Boston Manufacturing Company: Payrolls list women workers (1817 to 1881)

“The Dressmaking Factory” 1914 | Charles Ginnar @TateFire Safety | Fashion

 

“Millworker” belongs to a later and subtler tradition of “labor music”. There is no strike, no marching line and scarcely a villain. Taylor locates the conflict inside the worker herself: her hands remain at the machine while her mind wanders backward through family, farm and memory.

The complaint is not simply that the work is hard. It is that a human life can disappear into work that asks too little of the human being.  Taylor tells us that millwork is not especially hard. That’s what separates this  song from so much earlier, angrier industrial laments. The injury is monotony, lost possibility and time for a ‘young girl who ought to stand a better chance’.

Today we take a cross cutting review of all the literature (codes, standards, guidelines, laws)  that informs safe and sustainability occupancy load, means of egress, illumination, ambient air, plumbing, electric, communication and acoustics in classrooms.

1. Building Codes

  • International Building Code (IBC): Adopted by most states, it provides guidelines for the design and construction of buildings, including schools.
  • International Existing Building Code (IEBC): Provides standards for the renovation and repair of existing school buildings.
  • State and Local Building Codes: Many states and municipalities have additional or modified codes that must be followed.


2. Fire and Life Safety Codes

  • National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Codes:
    • NFPA 101: Life Safety Code – Sets requirements for egress, fire protection, and emergency planning.
    • NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems – Specifies standards for automatic fire sprinkler systems.
    • NFPA 72: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code – Covers fire alarm system installation and maintenance.
    • NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) – Outlines electrical wiring standards to prevent fire hazards.

3. Accessibility Standards

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA):
    • ADA Standards for Accessible Design – Ensures that school facilities are accessible to individuals with disabilities.
  • Architectural Barriers Act (ABA): Requires accessibility in buildings constructed with federal funds.

4. Environmental and Health Standards

Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy

8. Educational Specifications and Guidelines

  • Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI) Guidelines: Provides best practices for school design that promote effective learning environments.
  • State-Specific Educational Specifications: Many states have their own guidelines for the design of educational facilities to meet state-specific educational needs.

9. Safety and Security Standards

  • Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Guidelines: Suggests design strategies to enhance security in school environments.
  • School Safety and Security Standards (state-specific): Some states have additional requirements for school security measures.

10. Sustainable Design Standards

  • LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Schools: Provides a framework for building green and energy-efficient schools.
  • Green Building Initiative (GBI) Standards: Focuses on sustainable and energy-efficient building practices.

11. Maintenance Standards

  • International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC): Provides guidelines for the maintenance of buildings, ensuring they remain safe and functional over time.

12. Other Relevant Standards

  • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Guidelines: Provides standards for building schools in disaster-prone areas (e.g., tornadoes, earthquakes).
  • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards: Ensures workplace safety, including in schools, covering areas like chemical safety, electrical safety, and more.

Local Considerations

  • Local Zoning Laws and Ordinances: Schools must also comply with local land use regulations, which may affect building placement, size, and use.
