Herons, Shorelines & Waterways in danger

Published by Club Captain under Uncategorized

HERON CAM

The Great Blue Herons have returned en mass to the waterways around the boathouse.  Non-profit, Heron Habitat Helpers, along with Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife has set up a heron cam in the Kiwanis Ravine Rookery.  The rookery is the largest in the city limits, with over 60 nests and is located near the Ballard Locks in the Magnolia Neighborhood.  Watch the action as rebounding eagles invade to steal the newly laid eggs or the domestic activities of rebuilding the nests!

Earth Week PBS FRONTLINE SERIES- Poisoned Waters

More than three decades after the Clean Water Act, two iconic waterways—the great coastal estuaries Puget Sound and the Chesapeake Bay—are in perilous condition. With polluted runoff still flowing in from industry, agriculture, and massive suburban development, scientists fear contamination to the food chain and drinking water for millions of people. A growing list of endangered species is also threatened in both estuaries. As a new president, Congress, and states set new agendas and spending priorities, FRONTLINE correspondent Hedrick Smith examines the rising hazards to human health and the ecosystem, and why it’s so hard to keep our waters clean.  Series begins April 21st watch trailer.

Big Climb - Looking for a few good sponsors

Published by LWRC under Uncategorized

69 Floors, 138 flights 1311 stairs — as fast as you can go to the top of Seattle’s tallest building, the Columbia Tower.
 
That is what 14 members of the Lake Washington Rowing Club Big Climb Team will be doing at 08:30 on Sunday, March 22. Some of us are club members some family and friends.
 
Apart from the cross training, we are doing it to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to fund research and support patients.
 
We all have our reasons for doing it.
 
Tyler Peterson lost his uncle to blood cancer.
I am in my third year of remission from Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.
Dorothy Kim’s sister is in her second year of remission Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Most of us know someone who has faced a blood cancer.
 
When I was growing up nobody survived blood cancers. Thanks to the work of researchers, funding from organizations like The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and generous donations from folks like you, many are now cured or enjoying extended remissions, thousands are not so lucky.
 
That is why we ask you to sponsor us.
 
You can follow this link to the team website:
 
http://www.llswa.org/site/TR/Events/BigClimb?team_id=10330&pg=team&fr_id=1040
 
or go to: www.bigclimb.org and search for Lake Washington Rowing Club
 
From the website you can click on any individual’s name and go to the individual web site to make a donation;
or
Click the “Donate” button and make a donation on behalf of the team;
and
If you are feeling any sore-quads-envy you can still join the team and make the climb with us!
