I have to say that when I was growing up, it was the other way around for me. The word gay was considered a pejorative, where homosexual was the politically correct term to use.
So I'm questioning your demand that only certain words be used. What if a member of this group wants to use the word homosexual?
Again, I notice that here, something is being treated as an axiom, as something that cannot be denied. (Just so you know, I accept that sexuality isn't really a choice). I do have to say that this is dangerous, since it squelches any discussion of alternatives. What if one day, there's very strong evidence that sexuality IS a choice? Will you allow it to be called such then?
So you know, I am not suggesting that we 'balance' things here (e.g. every non-choice post must be paired with a choice post).
I can probably understand your reasoning here - most such promotion of choice-sexuality is driven by religious bigotry and you don't want to allow that here. Fine. Then say that. Say that unproven bigoted responses that claim sexuality is a choice, backed up only by religious doctrine and no actual evidence, are unwelcome here. Don't just flat out ban it.
Another reason why I felt like posting this was because I am very uncomfortable when groups or people say I HAVE to use certain words, or there's a problem. It's to do with words being constantly declared non-PC, and new words and terms being introduced to replace them, only to have those words also being declared non-PC and so on and so on.
I never would have expected the word homosexual to be banned, but then again, I should have.

If they explicitly state that, then it would be OK to use that term for that person only. Many LGBT people today find "homosexual" offensive.
This is like asking "what if one day, there's very strong evidence that the Earth is flat?" It's an unrealistic scenario. We know, through years of study, that sexuality isn't a choice. Any new explanation will have to account for the evidence we already have, and one based on choice is very unlikely to do that.

And what if some group of LGBT people find the term gay to be offensive? Are you going to cater for them and say "Right, the word gay is offensive, you're not allowed to use it!"? If you do...what words are we allowed to use? If not...
It seems to me here that you're picking and valuing one group of people's claims of being offended over that of another group of people. Not all LGBT people are the same. Heck, some of them don't like the term LGBTQIA+ (mainly because it's a mouthful, and it assumes that heterosexuality is the default and that those who are not heterosexual are the outliers who must identify as such. Why not simply say "I am a person" and leave it at that?).
Also, do you plan to keep tabs on which people are allowed to use the dreaded "H" word? This may sound mocking, but it's honestly the only way I can see you moderating this sub-forum when you say that only the person who "explicitly states that, then it would be OK". So if Person #1 says "I explicitly want to be able to use the word homosexual", then it's okay for him, but if Person #2 says "I'm homosexual" (without declaring a desire to use the word), does #2 get a ban or some sort of negative reaction? Why do we have to declare which words we want to use?
I understand this. I'd probably say the same thing when it comes to creationists when I say to them "Come back when you have evidence that the world was created, evidence that accounts for everything that supports evolution too".
However, I wouldn't outright BAN the topic. I wouldn't say "Thou Shalt Not Talk About Creationism EVAR!" I'd just say "Make sure your evidence is air-tight, then we can talk"
Basically, what I'm worried about is this attitude of what seems to be dogma that cannot and ought not to be challenged. I've seen it in other atheist communities.

I'm all for human rights and individual rights. As far as I'm concerned if a person could "choose" their sexual orientation I see nothing wrong with this. In fact, I personally feel that the LGBT community is actually playing right into the hands of religious fundamentalists when they insist that sexual orientation is not a choice. It's almost like they are "confessing" that if it was a choice this would loan support to the religious claim that it's a "willful sin".
And here's the problem I have.
To begin with I don't doubt that for some people sexual orientation is not a choice. Being extremely heterosexual myself I would suggest that my sexual orientation is not a choice. So I can certainly understand this position.
However, bi-sexual people cannot be ignored. And while a bi-sexual person could claim that they have "no choice" but to be bisexual, they would still clearly have a choice of which type of relationship to enter into.
So clearly sexual "preference" is a "choice" for some people.
I have also had conversations in the past with bi-sexual people who did not seem to be concerned about the whole "choice" thing. In fact, they were totally open to the idea that they are freely choosing to be with whomever they choose to be with. Their argument is not "defensive" against the religious claims that if this is a choice then it must be a "sin". They openly confess that they couldn't give a hoot about the religious concept of "sin".
They argue that in a "Free Society" they should be free to be with whomever they choose to be with, without being judged on that choice.
I have also heard "bi-sexual" people argue that, for them, sex is not even an issue at all. On the contrary, they argue that they seek a "person" as a partner. And whatever sex that person happens to be is totally irrelevant.
For for them it would actually be an "insult" to even suggest that their relationship are based even on "sexual orientation". Because even that implies that sex is the prime motivation for the relationship.
So I wonder, and my question would be, where do these people fit into this "LGBTQIA" picture? They are insulted by the very suggestion that their choice of a relationship has anything to do with sex at all.
I mean, the relationship itself my be sexually intimate, but what they are saying is that the choice to enter into the relationship was not based on sexual orientation at all. It was based entirely one compatibility with the other person as a person.
So actually for them, it was nether a 'sexual-orientation' or a 'sexual-preference'. Instead, any sexual issues were merely the result of two people who were attracted to each other for entirely other reasons, unrelated to sex entirely.
So how do these "bi-sexual" people fit into this LGBT picture if the LGBT community is arguing that it's "Not a Choice".
Clearly for some people it is a choice.
If it wasn't a choice there would be no such thing as "Bi-Sexual" people.
How does the LGBT deal with this? Do they reject "Bi-Sexual" people as not being part of their community?
In fact, doesn't the B in LGBT stand for "Bi-Sexual"?
Like I say, I personally stand behind everyone's right to do as they please. So for me, even the argument that they merely want to "choose" the right person to be with is totally cool.
But it just seems to me that bi-sexual people would have a hard time claiming that they don't have a choice, when the freedom to choose is high on their list.
And like I say, "What's wrong with that?"
Demanding that it isn't a choice, seems to me to be nothing more than handing the religious zealots precisely what they want on a silver platter. It's almost like an admission that if it was a choice then the argument that it's a "willful sin" would have some sort of merit and could be made to stick.

I'm 50 years old and it's been enough time for me to see some terms and phrases go from "OK" to "not OK". In spite of the apparent inflexibility, the terms we use go in and out of phase over long-ish periods of time.
My dear Grandma who passed away two summers ago was remarkably accepting of her transgender grandson, lesbian grand daughter and her wife (who is a trans woman). But for the life of her, she just couldn't stop calling black people 'colored'. She'd turn bright red and say "I can't help it! Calling them 'colored' is what I was taught is the nicest way to talk about them!" We weren't hard one her well, the great grandkids were, a little.
I'm not too worried I'll use the 'wrong' term, I know where my heart is and I'm glad to be corrected because I have no interest in adding to the LGBTQ burden in this society.
Even if some folks become very upset and insist their terms 'will not be challenged' . . . . well, they will be. Maybe not directly, but these things change, we grow old and die and the next generation gets to call the shots .

I think the motivation of people who say that homosexuality is a choice is that it is a volitional sin, and God has nothing to do with it.
And there are homosexuals who insist that it is not a choice, but when they say that they are actually buying into the paradigm of religious people. Their insistence of non-choice is a denial of volition. But in so doing they are accepting the world-view of religious people that homosexuality is a sin.
Truth is, when I was about eight I found myself crushing on other girls and I don't remember choosing to do so. And if you did a reboot and let me start my life over again I would choose to do the same thing, or at least hope that the same thing happened again.
So who knows? Who cares?

Words and terms words and terms....we are, as a society, so much more concerned with what we call each other (or want to be called) that we forget how we should be treating each other.

Ohio Crown Jewel: Habitat Restoration of Myeerah Nature Preserve
Tri-Moraine Audubon Society has been working with the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio for a long time. They owned the property for a number of years but then there was an opportunity to sell the property. And Tri-Moraine, because of its history with the Girl Scouts and its history with the property, we decided that we wanted to secure that property as state and public lands.
With Michael D. Retterer, Wildlife Biologist, Pheasants Forever Inc. and Quail Forever, Donnie Knight Jr. Biologist, Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Lori Stevenson, Coordinator of the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ohio Private Lands State Coordinator, Ohio Private Lands Office, and Jackie Augustine, Director of Programs, Tri-Moraine Audubon Society, Bellefontaine, Ohio.
Hello, this is Jackie Augustine, and I'm in the Program Coordinator and Executive Committee member for Tri-Moraine Audubon Society. Today we're here to talk about Myeerah Nature Preserve and all the habitat improvements that have gone on there.
First off, can everybody introduce themselves?
This is Donnie Knight, I am a Partners for Fish and Wildlife Biologist for the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service here in Ohio and I cover approximately thirty-four counties in southwest Ohio.
Hi, my name is Lori Stevenson, I'm also with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, I'm the state coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife Program, I'm at our Private Lands Office located in Newark, Ohio and I get to cover the whole state working on wonderful projects like this and with wonderful partners.
My name is Michael Retterer, and I am the coordinating Wildlife Biologist, Pheasants Forever Inc. and Quail Forever. I wear two hats, so I'm also the state coordinator for the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative, so I'm pretty much statewide where ever there are projects going on.
Thank you, yes, I'm Betsey Merkel and I am co-hosting this call, I'm Digital Strategist and Network Developer for the Council of Ohio Audubon Chapters (COAC). It's wonderful to have everyone here today and I know we're going to learn many interesting things about the project at Myerrah.
Back Story
Jackie Augustine: I'll just start out by saying a little bit about why Tri-Moraine Audubon Society ("Tri-Moraine") decided to host the next COAC Workshop at Myeerah and our history with the place and then hand it off to my colleagues to talk about all the wonderful habitat improvements that have been going on there.
Tri-Moraine Audubon Society has been working with the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio for a long time. They owned the property for a number of years but then there was an opportunity to sell the property. And Tri-Moraine, because of its history with the Girl Scouts and its history with the property, we decided that we wanted to secure that property as state and public lands.
With the Trust for Public Lands, Tri-Moraine wrote a Clean Ohio grant and was able to get money to purchase the property and so we purchased that and then transferred it to Bellefontaine Joint Recreation District who now owns the property.
We still hold the management easement on the property so we oversee all the habitat improvements that go on on the property.
We are real excited to have the workshop held at Myeerah so we can show off all the wonderful habitat improvements.
There's been a number of improvements, why don't we start out by talking about getting rid of the Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata)?
Myeerah Habitat Restoration Project First Steps
Donnie Knight: This is Donnie Knight of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, we began the project, I actually came on, Sergio Luisi was the biologist who started working with Tri-Moraine, from western Ohio, this is pre-Clean Ohio purchase, and Mike Retterer was involved in that as well. We started to take some of the old existing hay fields that at one point they were pasture fields, and we started to convert those acres back into tall grass prairie and pollinator habitat.
With that, the Camp Myeerah property or the Myeerah Nature Preserve property, the old pasture and hay lands, so a lot of it had reverted to a shrubby, woody landscape and unfortunately, most of that vegetation was non-native from the cool season grasses to the non-native Honeysuckle and Autumn Olive.
We began that process with a lot of mechanical clearing initially. We used a piece of equipment called a "Hydro Ax" which is an articulated sphere, hydraulically powered brush hog basically on steroids.
Then we've also done a lot of work with skid steers, same basic principle, hydraulically powered mowers and we mechanically cleared a lot of those acres because it was so overtaken by shrubs that we couldn't get anything, any kind of ground-driven unit in to start herbicide applications to successfully control once we converted those acres into tall grass prairie.
Habitat Restoration Components and Process
Jackie Augustine: Thank you, that's a great overview. Why don't you give us an overview of some of the other improvements you've done on the property, such as the wetlands and the tree planting?
Donnie Knight: Yes. Once we got the fields cleared off and we had a pretty good start on the invasive shrubs, that work will continue and we can maintain prairie grass habitat as long as we're actively managing for woody succession, be it native or non-native invasives.
We got the site prepped and we began seeding, we did a lot of dormant seeding, which would be winter time, we did a lot of it over light snow cover, and we planted multiple species of tall grass, native tall grasses as well, along with the broadleaf wildflower plants.
Once we got that going, management is to basically continue monitoring and managing invasive shrubs. That can be done with the same techniques we used to get rid of them originally, mechanical treatments, spot spraying, and we've also started to add prescribed fire to the property, which is a great tool to do large amounts of acreage and we try to do those on a three-year rotation.
Since that initial project, that was about eighty-three acres, we've added approximately fourteen acres of pollinator habitat. We did a lot of the same preparation steps but we've done mixes that are a lot more dominated by beneficial pollinator plants. Host plants, like the Milkweed, for the Monarch Butterfly, or nectaring plants for the bees and butterflies and other pollinators.
Once we got that going, the next phase was a large tree planting. We cleared, again, multiple areas that totaled about forty-four acres, and we established those to a reforestation type project. We planted approximately thirty foot centers we used three gallon container stock hardwood trees and native shrubs. Because of the very healthy deer population at Myeerah, we had to spend the extra funds to install five foot tree shelter to protect the trees mainly from deer, but it also helps out with other things such as rabbits and small mammals.
That's doing well. The site manager on site for Myeerah, John Tracey, has been a great addition to this project. Since he came on, he's local, on a farm down the road, he, along with Pheasants Forever, our program, and the Tri-Moraine Audubon, have put in countless hours of in-kind services to keep these projects, not only get them established, but keep them going so they can maintain themselves long term.
Once we get the tree planting done, the most recent phase was a series of wetlands. Those were done by tile brakes and small berms to capture the water and be able to manage that water.
We've added native wetland plugs of various species, some cattail management, and we've also done some shrub plantings that would compliment the wetland habitat.
That's where we stand right now. There's obviously plenty more land on the Preserve to manage and we have plans for that. Probably in the next phase there will be another set of wetlands. So, the current wetland acreage is somewhere between five and six acres of wetland habitat.
Restoration Phases Build on Project Successes
Jackie Augustine: This sounds great! It sounds like what I hear from you, is that if somebody has a property that they'd like to work on and they have a lot to be done, but you can do it in phases and build upon previous successes to expand each stage.
Donnie Knight: Absolutely! We advise landowners to do exactly that. Stage the project, separate it out into different areas and phases of the project because the worst thing you can do is bite off more than you can chew. You will lose confidence in what you can accomplish. The best scenario for the a lot of the land owners we work with is ensuring that the project we take on can be established and maintained successfully and as those projects mature, whether it be a wetland, a woodland, or a prairie, they're going to compete and maintain themselves to some degree and the (inaudible) doesn't have as much input in the long run and then as they get comfortable with the management techniques, they have the tools to do it and they have the timing and we can start picking off additional acres.
Partner Skilled Capacities Generate Wildlife Results
Jackie Augustine: Sounds great!
Michael, can you tell us about your contribution to the project and maybe highlight what kind of insects and other animals we might find in these areas after the restoration?
Michael Retterer: Well, our contribution from Pheasants Forever, was to basically fulfill Donnie's agreement he had. I assisted with a lot of the installation and management practices. We did a lot of the clearing, the herbicide applications, getting the site prep ready, and assisted in not only the seeds but the more diverse plugs that were put out there from time to time. I did this through work, and out local chapters contributed time to it.
As far as the benefits of what was originally Camp Myeerah or Myeerah Nature Area, was that there is a plethora of wildlife species from many of the upland song birds that people see and I know that the Audubon group was interested in and had been monitoring for many years and what was initially sparked the restoration process, was some of the birds showing decline because of the succession.
The goal was to open those areas backup and to increase those numbers since we had historical data for it. All of these restoration techniques will benefit Turkey and deer and lots of other small mammals that are out there as well as the insect population from the Monarch Butterfly to the bees and native bees that occur in that area.
Partner Contributions Yield Project Success
Donnie Knight: May I add? This is Donnie Knight again. I wanted to add that, Mike mentioned obviously the in-kind, the labor and the equipment that Pheasants Forever has provided, Mike himself and many of the chapter members, one of the critical aspects of the pollinator and wetland project was that the local chapter did add $10,000.00 to the project.
That assisted us in not only purchasing some equipment that could be used long-term by the Tri-Moraine Audubon, the Bellefontaine Joint Recreation District, our program Pheasants Forever, but it also purchased a lot of the materials needed for the wetland restorations and a small portion of that even went to contractor fees for excavation and design to build the wetlands. I wanted to add that.
Collaboration Leverages Partner Experience
Jackie Augustine: What I'm hearing is that another important part of this project is that it wasn't just one organization doing this, that this project is successful because Tri-Moraine, and Pheasants Forever, and multiple organizations are coming together. This is one thing that can really increase the success of a project.
Lori Stevenson: Jackie, this is Lori Stevenson, Fish and Wildlife Service. I'd like to say a few words as state coordinator of the Partners Program in Ohio about this project and about your process of thinking along those lines that with a project like this, Myeerah Nature Center, Camp Myeerah, it does take partners working together to be able to pull off a project like this at that scale.
When you think about it, there are a lot of working parts to the habitat component. When I take a step back and look at a landscape level project - this is one of those what I would term as a "crown jewel" on the landscape in Ohio because of all of the partners involved. The Audubon chapter, Pheasants Forever, Camp Myeerah, Fish and WiIdlife Service, Trust for Public Lands - it takes everyone working together to do something at scale.
As Donnie and Mike alluded to, with all the habitat components out there and the size of the acreage, if someone is working with a partner, that can get very overwhelming. To think, "I'm going to try accomplish all this." But what we're advocating for, of course, is to do this in phases or stages, that's where if you have someone like Donnie working through the partners, and Mike working through the Pheasants Forever who are biologists, boots-on-the-ground, they can go and work with those partners and guide them through the process so that the project does happen but it is going to happen over a time-staged period.
They have the capability of reaching out to other partners and pulling in those other components of, "What other equipment should we be using?", "What techniques should we use to maintain this prarie out here?", "How are we going to get rid of all that Honeysuckle?", and "Where do we get the equipment to do that?"
So, it's using what they know and reaching out to other folks and pulling in all the working parts to make it happen. So this project is a wonderful example of a partnership that is positive and will actually keep working on it and keep going.
And the other part of this, not only the habitat restoration component, but the educational component of this too, getting school kids out there and teaching them about the different habitat components, that's very important also.
The 'Ripple Effect' of Conservation Projects
Michael Retterer: Yes, and this is Mike Reterrer, and I just wanted to add too that is the neat thing about this, and Donnie had mentioned John Tracey, but he was out there and was interested and saw everything that was going on at Camp Myeerah, and then from that - seeing, experiencing, working with the partnership, going through the process, he in turn actually went and signed up not only his farm, but family members signed up their farms for programs to put similar habitats on their farms and landscape because of what they saw and what as going on out at Camp Myeerah.
So, that's a really nice part of where you do these projects on public areas, people see the process and makes them want to do it too.
Jackie Augustine: That is exciting. This is Jackie and Tri-Moraine has been holding an environmental education weekend out at Myeerah Nature Preserve for the last thirty years. We've had generations grow up on the property and it's fun to see the changes in our lifetimes of the habitat improvements that have been happening.
The Bellefontaine Joint Recreation District is also holding workshops and so a lot of people are seeing the changes and all the wonderful things a lot of work can do. I appreciate everybody's contributions and that is something I was thinking about as I was listening to you.
Myeerah is public land but it sounds like there are opportunities for private lands too for people who are interested in that.
Habitat Restoration Partners and Resources
Lori Stevenson: Yes, that's true. Through our Partners Fish and Wildlife Program, it is a habitat restoration program for landowners or any one who is private and does not own federal or state land.
We can work with individual private land owners if they are located within one of our focus areas in the state or any of the other public land that is not federally or state owned.
If there is a private landowner who is interested and wants someone to take a look at their property for doing some habitat restoration component like prairie habitat, pollinator habitat, wetland restoration, they would just need to contact us and basically in that initial phone conversation talk about what they have and what their goals are and if they fit in the goals of the partners program, then we can go from there.
Jackie Augustine: So they would have to search for, "Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program" and find their local office?
Lori Stevenson: Yes, depending on what part of the state they're in. For example, if they're in the part of the state of Dayton-Troy, Donnie would be covering this part of the state. I have two other biologists in the state. Another biologists sits up in the Ottawa Wildlife Refuge, Jeff Finn (Partners for Fish and Wildlife Biologist, Ottawa NWR) he covers the northwestern part of the state.
My office is in Newark and I have a biologist in that office with me, Brent Sodergren, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, he covers basically the whole eastern half of the state.
By touching base with any one of us four, we can get a conversation started and figure out what we need. If you need just a general phone number to my office I can give that to you. My office number is 740-670-5312 and that will get folks to Lori Stevenson, myself, and I'm State Coordinator of the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ohio Private Lands State Coordinator, at the Ohio Private Lands Office. I welcome folks to give me a call.
Additional Resources for Private Landowners
Jackie Augustine: That sounds great! There are great resources on this call. I think we have the basics down. Is there anything else somebody would like to contribute that hasn't been said yet?
Donnie Knight: Mike, would you like to discuss, we talked a little bit about our programs specifically, but with mentioning about John Tracey, neighbors, friends, and family that have signed up, would you like to just give a brief rundown of the Farm Bill Biologists Program and some of the USDA programs that they work on that landowners listening in might be able to take advantage of?
Michael Retterer: Actually one of the original habitat projects that was done on Camp Myeerah with the Girl Scout camps was a prairie planting up above the large original pond and that was through a Farm Bill program.
So, essentially for private landowners there are some requirements. There are some sideboards to it, they have to meet certain conditions. Landowners that have agriculture land, that would like to maybe take unproductive ground or ground they're not getting good crops on, there are Farm Bill programs through Conservation Reserve Program they can sign up for.
There are also non-agricultural programs that anybody that has land can sign up for, there are limitations and contingencies but they can do forest programs, they can do wildlife habitat restorations, they can do pollinator planting, that's the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). And those are all through the local United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offices and usually those lie within the US Soil and Conservation District Offices.
Beyond that, when I started at Pheasants Forever with Donnie, I was a Farm Bill biologist who assists landowners with those sign ups which is like what we've done and Donnie's done with Camp Myeerah through their process management. Working with the landowner for goals, find programs that match, find the right management plan for them and taking them through the process, that's available out there.
Both Fish and Wildlife Service, and Pheasants Forever, Quail Forever, were all part of a grassroots initiative in Ohio, which is the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative. It's really not like we have dollars to assist folks, but there's a lot of people that have many years of experience and a lot of technical advice through that program for anyone who's interested in what can they do on their property?
All of the major players are a part in that and we can help link them to programs or people who can help them get started on what they want to do. It's another clearinghouse of information.
Jackie Augustine: Great! Thank you for that information! Is there anything else anyone would like to add?
Betsey Merkel: I'd like to say that this has been a wonderful conversation and will supply so many people with so much information. I love that you have given the contact sources, places, and resources for people who would be interested in doing this too, or at least, starting the conversation.
This will be a wonderful article that we'll be able to publish and I encourage everyone who sees it to please share on social media so we can amplify the story and this wonderful case overview!
Lori Stevenson: Thank you on behalf of Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, thank you we appreciate this.
Betsey Merkel: Well, very good then. I want to thank Jackie Augustine, Director of Programs, Tri-Moraine Audubon Society; Lori Stevenson, Coordinator of the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Donnie Knight Jr. Biologist, Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and Michael D.

Black River Audubon Society Restoration Projects
On May 19th, 2018, officially Lorain County Pride Day, BRAS together with volunteers from Elyria Rotary, Elyria High students, and members of the general public planted twelve trees of various species along with milkweed, bushes and other flowers to attract a wide variety of birds, butterflies, and other pollinators to this formerly neglected area just off downtown Elyria.
By Jim Jablonski, President, Black River Audubon Society
Black River Audubon Society (BRAS) has worked on two different environmental restoration projects before and during 2018. These will be described at Council of Ohio Audubon Chapters (COAC) Quarterly Workshop, September 16, 2018, hosted by Tri-Moraine Audubon Society, at the Myeerah Nature Preserve, 7405 St. Rt. 540, Bellefontaine, Ohio by Andy Lance, Conservation Chair, and Jim Jablonski, President.
project #1: Black River Audubon Park
Above: 1) Park sign 2) Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) 3) Elyria Mayor Holly Brinda addressing Elyria High School National Honor Roll students, teachers, and local adults before the program begins. 3) BRAS donated trees to Elyria Sunrise Rotary to plant at Elyria's West Recreation Park. A Rotary member works with students belonging to Elyria Teens Achieve Success at that park. 5) and 6) Some of the trees and "local residents" after the planting was finished at Black River Audubon Park. 7) Monarch butterfly, Bay Village, laying eggs on common milkweed by David Lewis. 8) American Robin (Turdus migratorius).
Years ago, our founder and benefactor, Jack Smith, bought a small piece of land along the Black River and near downtown Elyria, Ohio and donated it to the city with the stipulation that it would be called Black River Audubon Park.
The two-acre park, half of it heavily wooded and sloping down to the river and the other half a field on a small plain thirty feet above the usual waterline, was found to have been used as a dumping place. In addition, it is said a house once stood on the field. Decades ago it burned to the ground and the remains bulldozed over the bluff leading to the river.
BRAS took on the responsibility, along with a number of other volunteer organizations, to clean the land at the upper level, the bluff, and the riverbank. Despite our best efforts over a number of years, materials kept rising to the surface. We hired a professional landscaper to clean out the rest. This also proved to be ineffective with regard to the bluff. However, it seemed everything near the surface was collected on the field above.
This past January, Jim Jablonski, the BRAS president, received a notice from National Audubon Society regarding the Burke Trees for Birds grants. The notice was passed to conservation chair Andy Lance and board member Kate Pilacky, who also works for Western Reserve Land Conservancy. Together they prepared a grant proposal that was successful in winning BRAS a $2,500 stipend for trees, bushes, and other flora to be planted along the tree of the upper field. The grant proposal was considered to be one of the best NAS received.
On May 19th, 2018, officially Lorain County Pride Day, BRAS together with volunteers from Elyria Rotary, Elyria High students, and members of the general public planted twelve trees of various species along with milkweed, bushes and other flowers to attract a wide variety of birds, butterflies, and other pollinators to this formerly neglected area just off downtown Elyria. In addition, another dozen trees were planted at two historical associations and an Elyria recreational park.
The project has brightened a blighted area and is currently attracting avian and insect life to a central urban neighborhood.

PROJECT #2: Meadow Preserve Project with Lorain County Community College
Above: 1) Community College Meadow Preserve signage co-sponsored by Black River Audubon Society. 2) American Bluebird (Sialia sialis) by David Lewis. 3) A long view of the field that we are maintaining as a meadow. It shows the problems we have with teasel but also some of the wide patches of milkweed that have been producing a good number of monarchs. You can also see the bluebird boxes. 4) Kestrel by Sepand Bakhtiari. 5) This is a photo showing the path to part of Wesleyan Meadows, a senior citizen residential area, just north of our meadow. It is not part of the project but the seniors can easily get to the trail if they want to. 6) Community College Meadow Preserve signage co-sponsored by Black River Audubon Society.
After discovering ground-nesting birds in a 23-acre field north of the Lorain County Community College (LCCC) campus more than fifteen years ago, BRAS officers approached the college the college's administration to ask for the cessation of mowing during the birds' nesting season. The administration agreed to only mow the field during the fall.
Several rainy seasons led to the neglect of this practice, the field was not mowed at all, and invasive trees, thistle, and teasel began to take over, threatening the availability of this important nesting area for meadowlarks and bobolinks.
Over the last two years, the original agreement has been renewed. BRAS has helped pay for eradication of the trees, reseeding of affected areas, and new signage for the area, turning it into a significant birding area during breeding season. In addition, BRAS maintains a bluebird trail and a kestrel nesting box in the reclaimed meadow. Into the future, BRAS will continue with its reseeding efforts in its attempt to eradicate the invasive plants that have spread into the field.
With the project, we are maintaining a significantly large breeding area for birds that have been drastically impacted by the disappearance of fields and meadows in northern Ohio.

Polished Glass and Brass Tubular Shade
Mid Century white polished glass shade with original polished brass bar. The shade rests on four points attached to the central bar. It has been rewired with sleek rounded black flex. This shade requires one B22 lamp. Matching ceiling fitting supplied.
This shade has been fully rewired here, in Stockport, near Manchester by our small team of experts and are now ready to be installed. We recommend that this is installed by an electrician into a joist or a supporting noggin. To clean dust the brass components regularly with a soft cloth. The glass shade can then be wiped with a glass wipe or a cloth that has been sprayed with glass cleaner. A final wipe with a paper towel will give a polished finish.

Ten times during the 2010s, a local boys team won a state championship. It started with Wareham boys basketball claiming the crown just three months into the decade. During the 2010-11 school year, New Bedford indoor track and Old Rochester outdoor track took home state titles. In 2014, Dartmouth football earned the first of back-to-back state championships, and the following year Old Rochester boys basketball won the title. The year after that, in 2016, it was Bishop Stang boys basketball's turn. In 2017, Old Rochester indoor and outdoor track and GNB Voc-Tech baseball secured state title trophies for their respective schools. We nearly had four other champions, but New Bedford boys soccer (2010), ORR/Fairhaven boys hockey (2017), Bishop Stang boys basketball (2018) and Old Rochester football (2018) all lost in the state title game.
Here are our picks for the 10 best overall boys athletes from the 2010s, with an emphasis on multi-sport, multi-season standouts:
Dana Dourdeville, Old Rochester
He was a two-time Cross Country Runner of the Year, although only once in this past decade. He won the Div. 5 championship in 16:20 in 2010, beating the second-place finisher by a whopping 22 seconds. He went on to place second at All-States in 14:20 on the 2.9-mile course, a mere three-hundredths of a second from winning an All-State crown. He finished his high school cross country career by placing 41st at the Foot Locker Northeast Championship in 16:37. Between indoor and outdoor track, he won four Div. 1 championships in the mile and one in the 2-mile. During the spring of his senior year, he won both the mile (4:26) and 2-mile (9:50.74) to lead the Bulldogs to the Div. 4 state championship. He was a two-time Boys Track Athlete of the Year and set school records in the 1,000 and mile. He ran for one semester at Brown University before passing away tragically on New Year's Eve in 2013 while duck hunting.
Darien Fernandez, Wareham
If we were handing out an Athlete of the Decade award, it would go to Fernandez, the only area athlete to make both the football and basketball All-Decade teams. In basketball, he was the only two-time Player of the Year in the decade. As a freshman, he played on the Vikings' state championship squad. He averaged 20.7 points per game as a junior and 22.3 points as a senior, powering the Vikings to the state semifinals in 2012 and the South final in 2013. He finished his career as Wareham's all-time leading scorer with 1,492 points. In football, he was the 2012 Offensive Player of the Year after setting then-school records for career touchdowns (35), touchdowns in a game (six) and points in a season (152). He also tied Hart Andrade's then-single season record of 22 touchdowns, despite having seven called back. Defensively, he averaged nearly 10 tackles a game. He went on to play basketball at Laramie County Community College and Division I Jacksonville University.
Sam Henrie, Old Rochester
Between baseball and hockey, Henrie won two Player of the Year awards and was named to the All-Decade team in both sports, making him one of just three non-runners to make two All-Decade teams (along with Wareham's Darien Fernandez and New Bedford's Andrew Rapoza). In baseball, he hit .439 as a sophomore, .415 as a junior and .415 again as a senior. He knocked in 67 runs in those three seasons and led ORR to a sectional finals appearance. On the mound, he was 7-1 with a 1.28 ERA as a sophomore, 7-1 with a 1.40 ERA as a junior and 3-0 with a 0.47 ERA as a senior. In hockey, he led the Bulldogs to the 2017 Div. 3 State Final at TD Garden with his 74 points, which ranked second in the state. As a junior, he put up 26-16—42 totals as a junior despite missing four weeks with a broken arm and as a sophomore he went 17-26—43. He plays baseball at Southern New Hampshire University.
Justin Lopes, Bishop Stang
He went to two state championship games in basketball, winning one, and played quarterback for the Spartans for two seasons, earning the 2018 Football Offensive Player of the Year award and the 2018-19 Boys Athlete of the Year honor. In football, he threw for 1,274 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior while running for 864 yards and 13 scores. He also caught a pair of touchdown passes and had a hand in four two-point conversions. All told, he accounted for 2,143 yards of offense and 26 touchdowns. As a junior, he threw for 939 yards and nine touchdowns and rushed for 573 yards and six touchdowns. Despite starting all four years in basketball, he only made one Super Team, often taking a backseat statistically to Dame Perry, Brycen Goodine or Avery DeBrito, which showed the type of unselfish leader he is. As a junior, he averaged 14 points and five assists a game, then as senior he averaged 15.7 points and 6.0 assists. He scored more than 1,000 points in his career. He is now enrolled at UMass Dartmouth and plans to play basketball next year.
Nate Michael, Apponequet
He was the 2010 Football Offensive Player of the Year and the 2011-12 Athlete of the Year (which was the slight edge that put him on this list over his brother, Matt), but his most impressive stat was Zero. As in how many practices he missed in four years of varsity sports for the Lakers. As a junior he set the Apponequet single-season rushing record (1,391) and he graduated with both the career rushing record (3,341 yards) and career touchdowns (39, which Matt later bested with 58), earning a spot on the All-Decade Football Team. In baseball, where he was an All-Decade honorable mention, he made the Super Team in back-to-back seasons in 2011 and 2012. As a senior, he hit .300 and led the Lakers in RBIs while serving as the team's No. 3 pitcher as Apponequet reached the South Sectional final. He was also the basketball team's starting point guard his senior year and earned 10 varsity letters in his high school career. He went on to Mass Maritime Academy.
Andrew Rapoza, New Bedford
He was the only male athlete to show up on three All-Decade teams, if you include the honorable mention list. The 2015-16 Athlete of the Year hit .427 as a junior and .461 as a senior to earn back-to-back Super Team nods and a spot on the All-Decade baseball team. He collected 46 RBIs over those two seasons as the Whalers' No. 3 hitter and catcher. As a junior, he led the Whalers to a Big 3 title and in his four varsity seasons, he played every position except center field and second base. He also made the All-Decade boys swim team, earning the 2014-15 Swimmer of the Year award after breaking the 21-year-old school records for six dives (284.9) and 11 dives (446.3). He finished 11th at the state meet. He was an honorable mention for the All-Decade football team, having made the Super Team his final two seasons. As a senior quarterback, he accounted for 23 total touchdowns, throwing for 11 and running for a dozen. He threw for 1,585 yards while completing 60% of his passes and ran for 578 yards. He currently plays baseball at Division II Barry University.
Trevor Schwarzmann, Dartmouth
The only boys athlete to win four Player of the Year awards in one sport this decade, Schwarzmann dominated the tennis scene in a way no other athlete did in a singular sport. He eclipsed Chris Santos' school record for wins and he reached three South sectional semifinals in the individual tournament, losing out his senior year to eventual state champion Harry Collomb of Wellesley. That year, he didn't drop a single set in the regular season and the team tournament and didn't lose in the individual tournament until the South final. As a junior, he went 22-1 and 14-0 in the regular season while leading the Indians to an 18-3 record, the best in program history. As a sophomore he was 20-3 and as a freshman he was 16-2.
Harry Smith, Old Rochester
The 2017-18 Athlete of the Year, Smith was the 2017 Co-Football Player of the Year, a member of the All-Decade team and a two-time Super Teamer in the sport. He was also a two-time track Super Teamer and an honorable mention pick for the All-Decade team. In football, he finished his four-year career as the Bulldogs' all-time leader in touchdowns (56), points (356) and rushing yards (4,275). He also set single-season records for rushing yards (1,951), points (174) and touchdowns (28) as a senior as he led the Bulldogs to their second South Coast Conference title in three seasons and a spot in the Div. 6 South finals. As a sophomore, he ran for 1,082 yards and 12 touchdowns and as a junior, he ran for 1,242 yards and 16 touchdowns. In track, he won a Div. 4 indoor championship in the 55 (7.69). In outdoor track, he placed third in Div. 4 in the 110 hurdles and 10th at All-States (15.07) and was part of the 4x100 relay team that finished second in Div. 4. He currently plays football at Southern Connecticut State University.
Paolo Tavares, New Bedford
He made three Ultimate Super Teams, one of just two athletes in the decade to accomplish that, along with Old Rochester's Mike Wyman, and was the 2011 Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year and 2012-13 Wrestler of the Year. As a sophomore, he made a Super Team in all three seasons, winning the Big 3 cross country championship (16:36), going undefeated in dual meets in the mile (4:33) and 2-mile (9:42) during the spring track season and capturing a Div. 1 state championship in wrestling. As a junior, he won another Big 3 title in cross country, setting a new course record at Buttonwood Park (16:05). In the winter, he continued to dominate in wrestling, capturing his second-straight South Sectional title and going undefeated (36-0) in the regular season. In track, he placed fourth in Div. 1 and 13th at All-States in the two-mile, recording the fastest time in the area in nearly a decade (9:37). As a senior, he won another Div. 1 state title in wrestling, going 53-2, tying the school record for wins in a season. He finished his career with a school-record 180 victories. During his senior cross country season, he claimed his third-straight Big 3 title and went undefeated in dual meets. In track, he placed fourth in Div. 1 in the two-mile and eighth at All-States. He went on to run cross country for UMass.
Mike Wyman, Old Rochester
Like Dana Dourdeville, all he did was run, but for three seasons every school year he was absolutely dominant. He claimed four Runner of the Year awards (2011-12 indoor track, 2012 cross country, 2013 cross country, 2014 outdoor track) and joined New Bedford's Paolo Tavares as the only athletes to make three Ultimate Super Teams during the decade. He won a Div. 5 championship in cross country as a senior in 15:27 and placed fifth at All-States. In track, he broke the school record in the 1,000 as a sophomore (2:34). The following spring, he won the Div. 4 championship in the mile (4:23) and took seventh at All-States. The following winter, he won the Div. 4 title in the 1,000 and took fifth at All-States. As a senior, he broke Art Dulong's 40-year-old Div. 4 record in the two-mile by three seconds (9:11) and took third at All-States. He ran a 4:08 mile at New Balance Nationals, the eighth-fastest mile in Massachusetts high school history at the time. He went on to run cross country for Brown.

In Zanzibar, about 5 women a week barely survive life-threatening complications of childbirth. Their child often dies and they sometimes lose the ability to have other children. These are often very poor women who are pushed further into poverty because of the costs of treatment and inability to work after the complication. Psychological support through readily accessible community volunteers and peer groups improves recovery.
The Goal
Implement psychological support for women surviving life-threatening complications of childbirth in rural Zanzibar: 1. by trained volunteers at community level, 2. through peer-support groups. This program is called "Friendship Bench" and has been developed and used in Zimbabwe with success but never after complications of pregnancy or childbirth.
Why is this project Important?
Women in rural Zanzibar are strong. They play a central role in their family and community. When they become sick because of complications of childbirth, the whole community is profoundly affected. Improving individual recovery therefore means helping a whole family to resume their lives normally.

Number one rule is assess don't guess. The second part is I don't judge. It is more important to know where you want to be, than to worry about what you are doing now.
I have been over weight and not very healthy. I have empathy. I have eaten an entire pan of brownies by myself, didn't want to exercise, failed with fad diets, and so much more.

It is this combination put together that will turn you into your dream self.
If I had a dollar for every time a client said I was going to be mad about eating something they know they shouldn't have or playing an extra round of golf instead of resting a shoulder, I would have millions in the bank.

My Favorite on-the-go Podcasts
This past year, since taking on new responsibilities and having a lot of time to myself during long car rides, tedious work hours, and more, podcasts have been my go to getaway for entertainment. I've found so many and each one has something unique to offer. I usually try to find ones that inspire me and give me multiple perspectives on topics important to me (Business, Health & Wellness, & Realness). Here are just a few of my favorites!
1. Gals on the Go podcast- Probably my favorite! Just two college girls sharing their real experiences, having a conversation, & giving tips. Even though they live on the other side of the country, they are completely relatable. They share their productivity routines, traveling experiences, and are always looking to stay positive. I leave their podcast feeling uplifted and ready to be a girl boss.
2. Manifest with Tori Sterling- This one's pretty new with only two episodes released, but I'm already hooked. Tori is a business owner and influencer who shares her life experiences relating to business, health, & fitness. She's not afraid to speak her mind and start up a conversation, which is what I love about her. She reminds me that it's okay to not have it all together all the time.
3. How I built this with Guy Raz- One of the most informative podcast out there. Guy Raz interviews innovators, entrepeneurs, and idealists on how they started their successful businesses from the ground up. I completely support this podcast's mission to share their journey and take inspiration from each guests into my own entrepeneurial journey.
4. What We Said- The hosts, Jaci, a content creator & influencer, and Chelsea, a health coach, share their viewpoint on important topics like business, health, and how to build a brand. On top of that, they are just typical 24-year old girls who share funny & embarassing moments. What I love about them is their efforts to engage with their audience and create the most authentic content!
5. The Blissful Soul podcast- The host, Jasmine, is truly a blissful soul. Her soothing voice and words of affirmation are the perfect podcast to get me started on a positive note for the day. She shares self care tips on intiutive living and how to be the best version of yourself. She continues to inspire me and reminds me that everything in life begins with your mental health.
I'm always on the look out for new podcasts, but for now these are my recommendations!
