Several days a week after BLMer Bryan Crandall leaves work, he spends a few of his evening hours volunteering as a mentor for youth ages 9-11 in the First Lego League (www.firstlegoleague.org/) program. While it’s true that the Legos are what first draw kids into FLL, the program’s true aim is to help children acquire essential teamwork and leadership skills. Kids also

get a significant head start at a great potential career as they learn computer programming to operate their Lego robots to accomplish specific “missions.”

 

But teaching kids computer programming and nurturing leadership and teamwork skills requires endless hours of practice, and it is parents like Crandall that make the program a success. “It requires a lot of man power,” says Matthew Lowe, Hurricane Elementary’s Title 1 Coordinator and Lego Robotics coach. “Without the volunteers, the kids wouldn’t be performing this well,” Lowe said at a December practice match, in which the group scored sixth place out of the 42 teams that entered.

 

Crandall, a property and fleet manager with the BLM, is accustomed to service, having served his country for nearly 30 years in the U.S. Army. He enjoys sharing the technical and leadership skills he gained in the military with the youth he teaches, and today the payoff for his volunteer service is seeing the development in the children he mentors. "You see them working with other kids, learning leadership skills, and the technical aspects. There's value in the competition end of it – they begin to understand

how to learn from their failures too," Lowe said.

 

Crandall’s son Grayson has grown significantly in his three years of participation, according to Lowe. “Last year in our competition they were given a task. They were kind of starting to argue about it and Grayson said, ‘hey guys – let’s vote on this.’ He saved that whole part of the competition,” Lowe said

with a smile. As a senior member of the group today, Grayson also takes a leadership role in ensuring

everyone has a chance to be heard and participate.

BLMers Giving Back: Two BLMers Help Local Boy Scout Troop Get Outside

 

Elliott Hinkley, Law Enforcement Ranger, and Tim Barrett, Petroleum Engineering Technician - both from the BLM Colorado River Valley Field Office - volunteered their time last summer to mentor a local Boy Scout troop at a week-long summer camp.

 

The camp was a new experience for the young troop; they had never been on a week-long camping trip where they cooked and cleaned for themselves. It took them a couple of days at camp to “buy in” to the program. But then, they started enjoying the activities, the work, and the overall experience. By the end of the week, they were already asking if they could come back next year!

 

The four Scouts earned a total of 27 merit badges by the end of the camp. Merit badges earned included archery, camping, environmental science, wilderness survival, rifle shooting, canoeing and kayaking, among others. The Scouts also participated in activities like the Cat-Eye trail, orienteering courses completed at night.

 

Elliott’s skills, expertise, and experience as a ranger were a big motivation for the Scouts to engage and work hard, even while seeing Scouts from other troops relaxing and taking it easy. The Scouts were able to learn wilderness skills and gain a passion for science and environmental topics that they can carry with them far into the future, maybe even into land management careers of their own! The scouts wouldn’t have been able to complete the camp without the encouragement and help from Elliott and Tim. Great job, BLMers.

BLMERS #GIVINGBACK: Lander Field Office Volunteer Firefighters Reap the Benefits of Giving Back

 

It takes a special kind of person to walk into a burning building. Or to extricate a near-drowning teen from a vehicle flipped upside down in an icy river. Or even to hold the attention of a group of excited young school children.

 

Curtis Bryan, Michael Coyne, Jason Laird and Eric Levy are a few of these special people. Employees from the BLM Lander Field Office, they give back to their community by volunteering with the Lander Volunteer Fire Department (LVFD).

 

“These guys spend a lot of their personal time training and going on calls during the evenings and on weekends,” said Lander Assistant Field Manager Rubel Vigil. “I always tell them how much they are appreciated—it takes a certain person to do this kind of community volunteer work.”

 

LVFD meetings and trainings are twice each month and the number of calls is variable. In addition to the official work of a volunteer firefighter, there is a steady stream of community events and fundraisers with which the LVFD assists.

 

And while the small town of Lander benefits greatly from their contributions, each of these volunteer firefighters feels like he is the one realizing the benefits of the work—by being an involved member of the community.

If you have ever read my profile then you know that I travel for our troops and troop families. Taking with me whatever skills I have and using them for them. Whether it is photobuttons, Photography, or Art Works it is my way of giving back to them. This Oil was made from a photo taken by me on Jan 01, 2004. It was burr-butt cold! Up at 4:30AM and then to the Flag Raising and PT Runs. Next was a short break and then the Basic Training Grad Day Events. All of the press and photographers were huddled like sardines in a tunnel walkway trying to keep out of the cold and very heavy January winds. Later that same year I was doing this again in temps of 104* and we were all begging for water just for some relief. I remember telling my son about the temps when he called during his deployment. He assured me that I would not want to trade places with him and his unit...it was 145* hot with 70+ lbs of Battle Rattle! All I could say was Bless You All For What You Do...For Our Many Freedoms. My work has never been about me, I like it that way, it's always about them. About their families and what they do. For all they do without for their love of Freedom. And later, at night, I did what all of The Blue Stars do...tried to sleep and prayed there would never be A Knock At The Door. And then I said a quiet Amen.

Freeform's Upcoming Drama 'Siren' Premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29, with a Special Two-Hour Premiere

About the Mermaid Museum in Hollywood

Open to the public from March 22 to the 25, the free ticketed event will celebrate the mythological, mysterious, and beloved creatures with over five activations and celebrate the upcoming International Mermaid Day, which coincides with the series premiere on March 29. Featuring a live mermaid, a speakeasy-inspired fishing store, numerous photo structures and a 360° underwater immersive experience; the museum will celebrate and bring mermaid culture to life.

 

Giving Back

In celebration of sea creatures everywhere, Freeform will make a donation to Heal the Bay to help keep Los Angeles’ coastal waters and watersheds safe, healthy and clean. Additionally, the live mermaid will be swimming in a custom-built tank filled with 4,800 gallons of water which, at the end of the exhibition, will be donated to TreePeople.

“Siren” premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29 (8:00 - 10:00 p.m.), with a special two-hour event.

 

More About “Siren”

This series takes us inside Bristol Cove—a coastal town known for its legend of once being home to mermaids. When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean. The series stars Alex Roe (“The 5th Wave”) as Ben, a bright marine biologist who finds himself drawn to Ryn, a mysterious new girl in town played by Eline Powell (“Game of Thrones”), who is a strange young woman with a deep dark secret. Fola Evans-Akingbola (“An American Exorcism”) stars as Maddie, also a marine biologist who works with Ben, and is highly suspicious of Ryn. Ian Verdun (“Life’s a Drag”) stars as Xander, a deep sea fisherman on a quest to uncover the truth; and Rena Owen (“Star Wars” Episodes II and III) as Helen, the town eccentric who seems to know more about the mermaids than she lets on.

 

Based on a story by Eric Wald and Dean White who both serve as executive producers. Emily Whitesell (“Finding Carter”) is on board as showrunner and executive producer. Brad Luff, Nate Hopper and RD Robb are also attached as executive producers.

BLMERS #GIVINGBACK: Casper Field Office Employees Collect Winter Clothing for Homeless

 

Employees from the BLM Wyoming Casper Field Office teamed up this December to collect coats, hats, and gloves for the homeless and less fortunate in Casper. Donations went to the Life Steps Campus in Casper, Wyoming. The Life Steps Campus provides emergency and transitional housing for families with children, and transitional housing for victims of domestic violence.

 

Casper employees delivered the donations after a heavy storm dropped six inches of snow in the community and temperatures dropped to the low 20s.

 

"Thank you so much for all of this. We are desperate for coats and gloves and people will be so grateful," said Krystal Wallace with Life Steps.

UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals Notes & Words After Party on March 25th 2023 Oakland

Several days a week after BLMer Bryan Crandall leaves work, he spends a few of his evening hours volunteering as a mentor for youth ages 9-11 in the First Lego League (www.firstlegoleague.org/) program. While it’s true that the Legos are what first draw kids into FLL, the program’s true aim is to help children acquire essential teamwork and leadership skills. Kids also

get a significant head start at a great potential career as they learn computer programming to operate their Lego robots to accomplish specific “missions.”

 

But teaching kids computer programming and nurturing leadership and teamwork skills requires endless hours of practice, and it is parents like Crandall that make the program a success. “It requires a lot of man power,” says Matthew Lowe, Hurricane Elementary’s Title 1 Coordinator and Lego Robotics coach. “Without the volunteers, the kids wouldn’t be performing this well,” Lowe said at a December practice match, in which the group scored sixth place out of the 42 teams that entered.

 

Crandall, a property and fleet manager with the BLM, is accustomed to service, having served his country for nearly 30 years in the U.S. Army. He enjoys sharing the technical and leadership skills he gained in the military with the youth he teaches, and today the payoff for his volunteer service is seeing the development in the children he mentors. "You see them working with other kids, learning leadership skills, and the technical aspects. There's value in the competition end of it – they begin to understand

how to learn from their failures too," Lowe said.

 

Crandall’s son Grayson has grown significantly in his three years of participation, according to Lowe. “Last year in our competition they were given a task. They were kind of starting to argue about it and Grayson said, ‘hey guys – let’s vote on this.’ He saved that whole part of the competition,” Lowe said

with a smile. As a senior member of the group today, Grayson also takes a leadership role in ensuring

everyone has a chance to be heard and participate.

Last night the RCR team were on-hand as VIPs for the opening of the "Mermaid Museum" to promote the new mermaid drama “Siren,” on Freeform. The event is co-hosted by PopSugar and creates an immersive mermaid museum here in the heart of Hollywood. Best part... it is now open to the public from March 22nd to the 25th for fans to experience unique photo installations, illusions, and a live mermaid.

 

Screening the first three episodes, we can tell you that this is a really exciting new "original" series for lovers of "fanta-sea" and tales of mermaids. It's original, action packed and very engaging. There are twists, turns and lots of nailbiting scenes that will keep you wondering what will happen next...

 

Talking to the cast at the party was also a treat, they are very excited to see more fan reactions when the series premieres.

Freeform's Upcoming Drama 'Siren' Premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29, with a Special Two-Hour Premiere

About the Mermaid Museum in Hollywood

Open to the public from March 22 to the 25, the free ticketed event will celebrate the mythological, mysterious, and beloved creatures with over five activations and celebrate the upcoming International Mermaid Day, which coincides with the series premiere on March 29. Featuring a live mermaid, a speakeasy-inspired fishing store, numerous photo structures and a 360° underwater immersive experience; the museum will celebrate and bring mermaid culture to life.

 

Giving Back

In celebration of sea creatures everywhere, Freeform will make a donation to Heal the Bay to help keep Los Angeles’ coastal waters and watersheds safe, healthy and clean. Additionally, the live mermaid will be swimming in a custom-built tank filled with 4,800 gallons of water which, at the end of the exhibition, will be donated to TreePeople. The water will go into a cistern at their facility in Los Angeles and will be used to water the surrounding landscape enjoyed by tens of thousands of hikers every year.

“Siren” premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29 (8:00 - 10:00 p.m.), with a special two-hour event.

 

More About “Siren”

This series takes us inside Bristol Cove—a coastal town known for its legend of once being home to mermaids. When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean. The series stars Alex Roe (“The 5th Wave”) as Ben, a bright marine biologist who finds himself drawn to Ryn, a mysterious new girl in town played by Eline Powell (“Game of Thrones”), who is a strange young woman with a deep dark secret. Fola Evans-Akingbola (“An American Exorcism”) stars as Maddie, also a marine biologist who works with Ben, and is highly suspicious of Ryn. Ian Verdun (“Life’s a Drag”) stars as Xander, a deep sea fisherman on a quest to uncover the truth; and Rena Owen (“Star Wars” Episodes II and III) as Helen, the town eccentric who seems to know more about the mermaids than she lets on.

 

Based on a story by Eric Wald and Dean White who both serve as executive producers. Emily Whitesell (“Finding Carter”) is on board as showrunner and executive producer. Brad Luff, Nate Hopper and RD Robb are also attached as executive producers.

It's original, action packed and very engaging. There are twists, turns and lots of nailbiting scenes that will keep you wondering what will happen next...

 

Talking to the cast at the party was also a treat, they are very excited to see more fan reactions when the series premieres.

Freeform's Upcoming Drama 'Siren' Premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29, with a Special Two-Hour Premiere

About the Mermaid Museum in Hollywood

Open to the public from March 22 to the 25, the free ticketed event will celebrate the mythological, mysterious, and beloved creatures with over five activations and celebrate the upcoming International Mermaid Day, which coincides with the series premiere on March 29. Featuring a live mermaid, a speakeasy-inspired fishing store, numerous photo structures and a 360° underwater immersive experience; the museum will celebrate and bring mermaid culture to life.

In celebration of sea creatures everywhere, Freeform will make a donation to Heal the Bay to help keep Los Angeles’ coastal waters and watersheds safe, healthy and clean. Additionally, the live mermaid will be swimming in a custom-built tank filled with 4,800 gallons of water which, at the end of the exhibition, will be donated to TreePeople.

“Siren” premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29 (8:00 - 10:00 p.m.), with a special two-hour event.

 

More About “Siren”

This series takes us inside Bristol Cove—a coastal town known for its legend of once being home to mermaids. When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean. The series stars Alex Roe (“The 5th Wave”) as Ben, a bright marine biologist who finds himself drawn to Ryn, a mysterious new girl in town played by Eline Powell (“Game of Thrones”), who is a strange young woman with a deep dark secret. Fola Evans-Akingbola (“An American Exorcism”) stars as Maddie, also a marine biologist who works with Ben, and is highly suspicious of Ryn. Ian Verdun (“Life’s a Drag”) stars as Xander, a deep sea fisherman on a quest to uncover the truth; and Rena Owen (“Star Wars” Episodes II and III) as Helen, the town eccentric who seems to know more about the mermaids than she lets on.

 

Based on a story by Eric Wald and Dean White who both serve as executive producers. Emily Whitesell (“Finding Carter”) is on board as showrunner and executive producer. Brad Luff, Nate Hopper and RD Robb are also attached as executive producers.

BLMERS #GIVINGBACK: Earthquake Relief in Nepal

 

After a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal in late April, claiming over 9,000 lives, the U.S. government – and private companies and citizens – joined the world in committing millions of dollars in assistance. But for one BLM staffer that wasn't enough: he had to help on the ground himself.

 

For over three years, Washington Office Petroleum Engineer Subijoy Dutta has been one of the lead drafters of BLM's new hydraulic fracturing regulations. Throughout that busy period, he has found time to volunteer support to his own non-profit, Rivers of the World Foundation, dedicated to controlling pollution and preserving the natural environment throughout South Asia.

 

Since it was founded in 1992, Rivers of the World has concentrated its efforts in Dutta's native country of India – and in particular the Yamuna River watershed, whose polluted waters caused the deaths of 1,700 people in 1987. Bringing to bear his advanced degrees in mechanical and geological engineering, Dutta has advocated for the construction of water purification systems and wetlands along the river and its tributaries for over two decades. His efforts have generated significant public awareness of the health hazards caused by the polluted waters in the region, and the foundation eventually constructed a water treatment site on a tributary of the Yamuna.

 

When the earthquake devastated India's northeastern neighbor in the spring, Dutta realized Rivers of the World – which had also provided aid following a 2001 earthquake in northwestern India – was in an ideal position to help. He quickly launched an online fundraising campaign that brought in over $4,700 in donations for relief efforts.

 

With those funds in hand, he and fellow foundation volunteers set off for Nepal at the end of May. In less than a week, they covered nearly half of the country, providing medicine, food, clothes, money, and temporary housing to villages in and around Kathmandu spanning a population of some 14,000. A school in the village of Thansing that had been partially destroyed was also rebuilt.

 

But for Dutta, who grew up among ethnic Nepalese in the northeastern Indian city of Shillong, the most personally rewarding experience came at the end of his journey. He had visited Nepal for the first time in 1997, and while there, was escorted up the Annapurna peaks in the Himalayas by Rajendra, the 10-year-old son of a resident of the village of Sarangkot.

 

Dutta realized soon after the earthquake hit in April that Sarangkot was roughly 100 miles from the epicenter. The road leading out to the village was so damaged that he and his companions had to hike 5-6 kilometers, at an elevation of more than 7,000 feet, to reach it. After several hours of inquiring with local residents, Dutta finally located Rajendra's father, who had offered up his son's help as a guide during the 1990s excursion. He learned that his son, Rajendra, was now residing in the Middle East, but all of his family had survived the earthquake unharmed.

 

"My main pleasure was that at least I found the guy and thanked him for being so nice to us 18 years ago," said Dutta. "The guy gave his son – without knowing me – to a stranger."

It's original, action packed and very engaging. There are twists, turns and lots of nailbiting scenes that will keep you wondering what will happen next...

 

Talking to the cast at the party was also a treat, they are very excited to see more fan reactions when the series premieres.

Freeform's Upcoming Drama 'Siren' Premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29, with a Special Two-Hour Premiere

About the Mermaid Museum in Hollywood

Open to the public from March 22 to the 25, the free ticketed event will celebrate the mythological, mysterious, and beloved creatures with over five activations and celebrate the upcoming International Mermaid Day, which coincides with the series premiere on March 29. Featuring a live mermaid, a speakeasy-inspired fishing store, numerous photo structures and a 360° underwater immersive experience; the museum will celebrate and bring mermaid culture to life.

 

Giving Back

In celebration of sea creatures everywhere, Freeform will make a donation to Heal the Bay to help keep Los Angeles’ coastal waters and watersheds safe, healthy and clean. Additionally, the live mermaid will be swimming in a custom-built tank filled with 4,800 gallons of water which, at the end of the exhibition, will be donated to TreePeople. The water will go into a cistern at their facility in Los Angeles and will be used to water the surrounding landscape enjoyed by tens of thousands of hikers every year.

“Siren” premieres on International Mermaid Day, March 29 (8:00 - 10:00 p.m.), with a special two-hour event.

 

More About “Siren”

This series takes us inside Bristol Cove—a coastal town known for its legend of once being home to mermaids. When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean. The series stars Alex Roe (“The 5th Wave”) as Ben, a bright marine biologist who finds himself drawn to Ryn, a mysterious new girl in town played by Eline Powell (“Game of Thrones”), who is a strange young woman with a deep dark secret. Fola Evans-Akingbola (“An American Exorcism”) stars as Maddie, also a marine biologist who works with Ben, and is highly suspicious of Ryn. Ian Verdun (“Life’s a Drag”) stars as Xander, a deep sea fisherman on a quest to uncover the truth; and Rena Owen (“Star Wars” Episodes II and III) as Helen, the town eccentric who seems to know more about the mermaids than she lets on.

 

Based on a story by Eric Wald and Dean White who both serve as executive producers. Emily Whitesell (“Finding Carter”) is on board as showrunner and executive producer. Brad Luff, Nate Hopper and RD Robb are also attached as executive producers.
