surveys the Au Sable River. |
Marvin Roberson of the conservation organization Anglers of the Au Sable has sent out this action alert—which requires you to act TODAY—about the Mason Tract on the Au Sable River:
Mason Tract Protection-One Last Push!
We have a unique opportunity to give the Mason Tract the protection it deserves, but we need to act now. The Michigan DNR is in the final phases of designating “Biodiversity Stewardship Areas” (BSAs). These BSAs are what will form the “Michigan Living Legacies” program. These BSAs will be designated and managed for the values of preserving and enhancing biodiversity and natural communities. In most cases, this will mean managing for bigger, older forests with less human-caused disturbances.
This does not mean no management. It doesn’t mean no hunting, or no motor vehicles. It means management more like nature. For instance, white pine can easily live to 350 years of age. The DNR practice is to cut them at 100 years. BSA designation would mean that long-lived species would actually get much older than is currently practiced.
The Mason Tract was in the original set of BSA recommendations, which were agreed to unanimously by a team comprising environmentalists, conservationists (including a rep from the Anglers of the Au Sable), the timber-industry, tribal interests, and DNR staff. However, internal DNR reviewers have recommended leaving the Mason Tract undesignated as a BSA. The primary claim is that the public would not accept the management changes which would result.
Think about that: would you prefer bigger, older forests along the river, or do you want more cuts like the one a few years ago across from Forest Rest? If you liked that management, then stop reading. If you’d like bigger, more natural forests along the river, then you need to act. Comments are due by close of business Friday, January 14 [THAT’S TODAY!]. They need to be emailed to this address:
DNRE-livinglegacies@michigan.gov

We need to tell the DNR:
1. The South Branch of the Au Sable river corridor should unquestionably be designated as a part of the Living Legacies program.
2. That it is understood that BSAs do not mean no management, but that management for naturally occurring communities is important for the river corridor.
3. That you want the river corridor of the Mason Tract designated as a BSA. (Let them know how often you are there. Let them know what this place means to you.)You may have done this last summer; that’s great, but we need you to do it again. There are lots of people, inside and outside of the DNR, who don’t want this to happen. We have to make our voices heard, just like we did in the Gear Restriction issue. Please write.
I like to hang out with friends and relax on the weekends

brendan I’m more of a wake fan, but they have had a rough year…at least I got to watch every single game this weekend! I’m trying to make a meeting tomorrow, been off the meds since Friday night. I’m guessing that week 2 and 3 is much of the same as week one? Does anyone ever fall asleep and wake up by a muscle twitch…feels like my calf wants to stretch?
This is a very good and interesting introduction to a complex issue. Raises questions already. EG, what exactly is the “right to trash??” and does this apply to those who produce, those who consume, or those who are affected? Who are the duty-hoders? Hope to have these questions answered!
Thank you for befriending baby stuff searchers. Your help means a lot to us. Don’t forget that Francis Ford Coppola , Coen Brothers, Sergio Leone and Akira Kurosawa all love to put on that hat.

I cannot tell you how thrilled my family is to know that Brennan’s will re-open this fall. We have such wonderful memories dating back over twenty years. We will be checking back to see when we can book our first brunch! Thank you to the owners for not allowing this jewel in Houston to go away. We love Brennan’s!!

Thanks for you sharing,i like it so much,and wish you post more article.
I am against “same sex marriage” because the institution of marriage from the beginning of time and in every culture has always been between a man and a woman, for the purpose of having offspring and perpetuating life in the future. In the animal world you never see two male or twe or females of any species trying to be a “pair”
i think you are a good person.thanks
The Descendants was a surprisingly warm, entertaining and thoughtful film for me. It deals specifically with a family going through a specific tragedy and dealing with that tragedy and all the secrets they never knew existed. We can see the weight of the world on George Clooney’s shoulders as he descends deeper and deeper into misery.What made this movie so good for me was the complexity of Clooney’s character and the depth he went to in order to deal with a big family secret, an estranged daughter, a curious daughter and a dying wife. It felt real and heartwarming to see his friends and a new real estate agent and his wife literally turn his world upside down! Try keeping a dry eye during this film. Real-life drama and passion. I can see why it’s winning all the awards. A very well made film.
I just added this blog site to my feed reader, great stuff. Can not get enough!
i really appreciate that comment, especially now because my photo’s have been horrible! with the days being shorter and not getting light as early it is so hard for me to get good lighting! and i don’t want to stand out in the cold! haha. i was looking back at old posts and thinking man, my pictures looked so much better! my food is just as tasty, just can’t show case it as well. haha.

Thats a fun tool. My score was 52. I can understand that. We can walk to a lot, but Sonoma is far from a budding metropolis and there aren’t many shops to start with, so I have a feeling that even if it were a driving score, it will still be in the 50s.
Well I recently saw a study that said in a vehicle vs bicycle impact (or bicycle vs stationary) at 20 mph the rider had a 5% probability of dying but at 30mph the probability increased to 20% (for death).At 40 mph it was drastically higher I can’t remember something like a 80% chance of death.I have seen a video on youtube of a electric bike owner being cited by several police officers for having a electric bike above the? maximum wattage/speed.He was given 3 pricey tickets.

Thank you for this blog, it was just what I was searching for. There is so much information here, so I thank you so much for enlightening my mind.
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on some of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome blog!
My son is 8 and weighs 70lbs. He is a wonderful, impulsive, hyper and innattentive little boy. He is on 56 mg of Concerta (for over 2 years now) . Although it is working, it does not seem to be strong enough. For us the difference is miraculous but at school he still has a lot of trouble focusing, concentrating and sitting still. His report card screams ADHD even on the medication. I am afriad to go higher (even thought the dr. has suggested it). What are your thoughts? We love Concerta and would rather not switch as we have tried other meds and they did not prove effective.
good to hear hope u find love also if thats what ur looking for if not well hope u get whatever u are looking for lol
This post rocked! I’ll definitely be back and bring my friends with me

I admire the valuable info you offer you inside your articles. I’ll bookmark your website and have my kids examine up the following typically. I am really confident they will understand a lot of new stuff below than anybody else!
Fantastic looking site! I have a site as well but unfortunately I’m not very good with design and other computer (tech) related stuff, but would like to make my theme a bit more custom as well. Could you refer me to your designer please? Thank you so much, hottle
Nearly all of whatever you state is astonishingly accurate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light previously. This piece truly did turn the light on for me as far as this specific subject goes. However at this time there is one position I am not necessarily too cozy with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the core theme of the position, allow me see what the rest of your readers have to point out.Very well done.

Jim – Yep, I know that feeling. I tried walking normally by pushing off with my recovering foot, and my foot didn’t respond. It’s getting better though as my calf muscle is getting stronger.

You certainly have some agreeable opinions and views. Your blog provides a fresh look at the subject.
I support the view that God intends marriage to be between and man and a woman. It also follows that this is the “natural” way of things because both genders are necessary for reproduction.

Oh how I wish I could experience a TuiNa!! I had a surprise visitor last night, Uncle Paul negotiated a visit with Tyler and brought him by. They made pizza and cesar salad with chicken . Lucky for him Gramma had made an applesauce cake ( no egg) and actually had ice cream to go with it! He is such a dessert guy.

The church does push for these policies you write of. I love people but in this case i do not love thier actions, behaviour and what they stand for and that is not saying i don’t love them, as you say your a christian and these things that the gay people stand for is not of God and if it is not of God we know where it is from. Jesus does ask us to take a stand and to be good stewards as well as to uphold his values…what you write clearly shows you have a foot in both worlds and the luke warm will be spat out…so march in the mardi gra and show your true colors to your creator.

Mine was 69. I think that’s low. Especially since I walk downtown all the time. It takes me 20-30 minutes. It would take me 15 minutes to walk to the mall (haven’t been there in over a year though). In fact, everything I could want or need is within walking distance. Getting it home is another story. I was packing a bag of compost home from the store last weekend. It was two blocks and by the end of the first block I was wishing I’d just borrowed the darn shopping cart!
Thank you, i’ll check back with more to follow.
Brilliant article thanks!

Brendan ruptured his achilles on Feb 26th. I think he’s the most recent one of the group.Here is the link for his blog: Brendan’s blog He’s contemplating on going back to work after 1 week, which I think is too early.
Jim – I’m not sure I complete understand the question. Are you saying “stand on the ball of your foot” so there is clearance under your heel? At 19 weeks I’m still not able to do a single legged calf raise with just the injured leg. I’m able to do it in about 3 ft. of water, but not on land. I think it will still be a few more weeks for me. I’m not sure what the norm is for single legged calf raises, but from other blogs I’ve seen, I don’t feel like I’m that far off schedule. You will probably be back to single legged calf raises much quicker because you were weight bearing early on and you have much more strength in your calf to begin with. Hope this helps.
this is quite normal, a few micro weather burstt some more dramatic than others. it will be quite spectular to watch no need to run for cover.
Elizabeth,Christians love the gays but hate the sin.as does God.We are not gay bashing.Really Elizabeth the Bible is clear.It tells us in Laviticus,in Romans and Revelation.When we all stand before our Maker one day, you will not be able to present a good argument before God.Get to know your instruction manuel a bit better.

Why do “gay” lobbyists believe they have the right to change the historical meaning of marriage? (i.e. the commitment of one man and one woman to each other for life, to the exclusion of all others, with the generally anticipated begetting of children to complete the family unit.)

If you think about 2Pac and Biggy as companies and judge their success buy money generated and fan base then B.I.G is the clear winner. 2Pac had his own style of rapping that was from the hart and it related to a lot of people but Notorious changed the rap game gave the people what they wanted to hear and made that style of music expectable to all people. Clearly Biggy is the best rapper of all time.

Thanks for your useful post. As time passes, I have been able to understand that the particular symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by a build up associated fluid relating to the lining on the lung and the chest muscles cavity. The illness may start inside chest spot and pass on to other parts of the body. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma cancer include fat reduction, severe inhaling trouble, vomiting, difficulty ingesting, and irritation of the neck and face areas. It ought to be noted that some people with the disease usually do not experience virtually any serious signs and symptoms at all.
