Advantage Close Contact Activities for Science/Ecology club at school?
I have had the idea to start an ecology club at my high school. What is good about this is that the school is in walking distance of a river called the Eno River. I have already contacted the Eno River Assosication and they are enthusiastic about helping and have given a few ideas of what the club could do. One of these was testing water quality of the River every few weeks. What other activities could we do regarding ecology/wildlife/science? It doesn't necessarly have to be at the Eno River but I think it is great to take advantage of it being close.
Perhaps you could have an animal/plant of the week. Something from your area or that lives in or near the river, so the members have an easier time connecting to it. You could go over some basics, like: this animal eats this, and this eats that animal, and then what the conservation status of this creature is (remember, it doesn't have to be threatened to be appreciated!). You could begin by asking them what comes to mind when they think of that animal or plant, so you're all aware of how the general public may hold this organism's "value" to be. Then the rest of the presentation would basically be illustrating how "valuable" nature finds them, and what their impact on the local ecosystem would be if they suddenly died out (or if they went through a huge population boom).

Avoidig the call?
I'm a girl moved into a new town this year, and In June I met a friend #2 through a friend #1, and we all became very close. Friend #1 moved away, so I kept in contact with #2 and we called each other from time to time. In August, I got in a major car accident, so friend #2 called to see if I was ok and If I ever needed anything, that I should let her know. I told her no problem, but thanks for the offer (I didnt wanna take advantage of her), and we talked on the phone every week after that. In September, I called her to see maybe if she wanted to hang out sometime (she knew I didnt have a car yet: I was still shopping around) and she said oh I'll call you. My birthday was 9-26 and she knew that also and didnt call me. Recently, she decided to call me (11-17-06) and left a message. I guess I dont need friends like that so I didnt call her back. Then she called again 11-29-06. Should I swallow my pride and just call her, or should I continue to avoid her and just move on?
Doesn't sound like she was a close friend to begin with does it to you? Why swallow your pride? I'd just move on because a friend like that will only do this to you again. Unless she had some tragedy that stopped her from calling you in the first place. I've had friends like that promise to call and never do, so I don't count them as friends if they can't call sometime around the time they promised in the first place. I hope this makes sense to you. There has to be nicer people around that you can befriend.
As a parent, I'm concerned about this epidemic and the ramifications within our schools, where so many children are in close quarters each and every day.
Many of those students have close contact with relatives who, in turn, have contact with those coming from south of the border. This is not fear-mongering, it is reality. The 1918 influenza epidemic *then called the Spanish Flu) killed millions worldwide and over 500,000 here in the United States.
