(Wilson, Michigan) – A native plants restoration and pollinator protection workshop in July 2012 was held at the Hannahville Indian Community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and attended by the representatives of five Michigan and Wisconsin Native American communities.
At the end of the workshop, students from the Hannahville Indian School (Nah Tah Wahsh PSA) enjoyed planting saplings including apple trees on April 12, 2012 at the Hannahville Indian Community nation.
The planting and a workshop are part of the U.S. Forest Service-funded Zaagkii Wings and Seeds Project.
With smiles on their faces and dirt on their hands, the students had fun planting the apple tree and cedar tree saplings.

During the Hannahville workshop, a northern Michigan Native American elder said he believes something is amiss in nature and encouraged tribal communities to join with non-tribal partners for pollinator protection and the restoration of native plants.
A crisis is imminent.
Honeybees and native pollinators such as bumblebees are declining at alarming rates as the native plants that sustain them are decreasing due to habitat loss via non-native invasive plants.
“It is your responsibility – as well as ours – to be tenders of the garden,” said Earl Meshigaud, Hannahville Potawatomi Indian Community Tribal Council Member and Culture Department Director. “That’s what we were put here for – to take care of God’s Creation.”
The workshop and other related projects like a tribal greenhouse are examples of Native American tribes and the U.S. Forest Service working together to restore native plants and protect pollinators.

Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly Amanita, is a poisonous and psychoactive basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita muscaria has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees. The quintessential toadstool, it is a large white-gilled, white-spotted, usually deep red mushroom, one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture. Several subspecies, with differing cap colour have been recognised to date, including the brown regalis (considered a separate species), the yellow-orange flavivolata, guessowii, and formosa, and the pinkish persicina. Genetic studies published in 2006 and 2008 show several sharply delineated clades which may represent separate species.

Amazon Court - RIVER CITY PRAGUE is a brandmark for a large city district development in Prague.
The neighborhood of Karlín will be extended to the riverbank and enriched with a green promenade along the river, which will also serve as a flood protection barrier. Occupying a 4 ha site, RIVER CITY PRAGUE is a complete living and working environment, integrating office and retail space with a hotel, restaurants and garaged parking in a mature landscaped riverside location. Footbridges provide links with Karlín over Rohanské nábrezí street to the South and over the Vltava River, across to the island of Stvanice with its recreational facilities and on to Holesovice to the North. RIVER CITY PRAGUE will also include water features, seating, riverside walks, and considerable landscaping throughout the site. The master plan was made by KPF Architects.
Danube House - 19,800 m2 office space, net, and a further 1,200 m2 cafés, restaurants, retail space and 253 parking spaces, completed in 2003. Architect: KPF.
Nile House – 17,650 m2 office space and 1,700 m2 retail, with 218 parking spaces. Architect: ATREA
Amazon Court – 23,300 m2 mixed-use building with 250 garaged parking spaces, completed in 2005. Architect : Schmidt Hammer Lassen
The Main Point Karlin – this building is located in an attractive environment close to the Prague city centre, finished in 2012, will be used as center of Vienna Insurance Group in Prague. The building uses a number of approaches in its sustainable design, among them, using the River Vltava's water throughout the summer for building cooling, and hereby eliminating the need for compressors and chillers. Cooling is further naturally regulated by the coloured fibre-C elements on the facade which are not only aesthetic but serve to reduce heat gains from sunlight penetration. Main Point Karlin obtained the highest LEED Platinum level rating. The office building was designed by the Prague atelier DaM.
Hotel – 210 guest rooms, riverside views and 85 garaged parking spaces.
Yukon Residence – An apart hotel for short and medium stay with 100 apartments comprising 7,700 m2.

The personnel protection shields are used when insulating the line is not necessary, but operating temperatures require safeguarding personnel from coming into contact with the pipe. These shields are designed for 8" pipe operating at 800°F, and are made of 304 stainless expanded steel rolled to a 20" diameter.

On May 11th at 11:41am, the McHenry Township Fire Protection District responded to 1304 N. Park St. for a reported structure fire. Caller advised they smell smoke and possibly see flames on the roof.
At 11:55am, MTFPD activated MABAS Box #5-1241 to the second level for the structure fire.
Units Due:
Engines: McHenry, Richmond, Wauconda, Fox River Grove, Nunda Rural
Tenders: Fox Lake
Squads: Wonder Lake
EMS: McHenry, Lakewood
Chiefs: Spring Grove, Richmond, Wonder Lake, Crystal Lake
Special Equipment: Rehab North, Salvation Army Canteen
Change of Quarters (St.#): Cary Engine and Chief (1), Woodstock EMS (1), Lake Villa Engine (2), Spring Grove EMS (2)
At 12:34pm, the MTFPD upgraded MABAS Box #5-1241 to the third level for the structure fire.
Units Due:
Engines: Grayslake, Algonquin, Antioch
Trucks: Round Lake
Squads: Marengo
EMS: Huntley
Chiefs: Fox Lake, Wauconda
Special Equipment: Air 5, UCP 13
At 1:17pm, the MTFPD struck out MABAS Box #5-1241 by the authority of command.
News obtained from the Northwest Herald: McHENRY – A structure fire at the Polish Legion of American Veterans on 1304 Park St. in McHenry took roughly two and a half hours to extinguish Sunday afternoon, but no one was injured during the annual Mother's Day brunch.
McHenry Township Fire Battalion Chief Joe Krueger said firefighters received a call at 11:41 a.m. for the fire, which was called in while members of the post were cooking for a Mother's Day brunch. Krueger said a Level 3 MABAS box alert was called, bringing assistance from multiple departments in Lake and McHenry counties.
With heavy smoke coming through the roof, McHenry Township Fire Chief Tony Huemann said the first wave of firefighters made an aggressive move and ran hoses inside the building before Krueger deemed the situation too dangerous and pulled out the firefighters. Responders then fought the blaze defensively from the outside of the building, Huemann said.
No civilians or firefighters were injured and the fire was contained to the single building. Some emergency crews began to leave the scene at 3 p.m. The building has "substantial" damage, Krueger said, with most of the back and back roof completely destroyed.
Dan Lisi, first vice commander of Polish Legion of American Veterans Post 188, said he and other members were cooking a Mother's Day brunch at the same time a roofing company was doing work on the building when a breaker popped around 11:30 a.m.
Other breakers started popping and the fire started, Lisi said. He said 70 people were inside the hall, and everybody exited safely and without injury.
Krueger said the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Representatives from the roofing company on scene declined to comment.
Lisi said the post has 144 members and has been in the building since 1980.
