The fourth grade students, their teacher, BLM and State Park staff.
Fifty-three students and teachers from the Caliente Elementary School’s 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes participated in a National Public Lands Day Event hosted at Kershaw Ryan State Park by the Caliente Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management and Nevada Division of State Parks staff.
This year’s even featured an education station where students learned about the importance of rock art in the region, and how they can help protect it. They learned how Biologist and Range Staff use observation and math skills to collect data to see how healthy our public lands are. They were able to talk with Local BLM Wildland Firefighters and learn about the trucks and equipment that they use to manage wildfires and the importance of being careful with fire. Students took a short hike in the canyons of Kershaw Ryan State Park, where they learned about ways they can observe and enjoy our public lands.
Finally, everyone participated in a project to restore a portion of the park that is infested with Russian Thistle, a highly invasive weed in the area. Students, teachers, BLM and State Parks staff worked together to spread native seeds in an area near the front of the park. This project will help native plants out compete the invasive weeds, and provide edible plants for local wildlife.

Pinnacle Trust Schools in Sandy, Potton and Moggerhanger were out in their local communities yesterday (2nd July) for the annual “Make A Difference” day. The school children spent the day working on community based tasks which will enhance their local area and also raise funds for charity.
Children from Laburnum Lower School, Sandy, assisted PCSO Ann Jeeves with a speed check along Bedford Road, while other children from the school took time to visit some of the residential homes in the town to help out.
If you would like to support their initiative you can buy MAD day bags from Sandy Tourist Information Office and from the Town Council Offices. The bags have been designed by pupils and proceeds will help support Keech Cottage Hospice and also the local schools.
At Bedfordshire Police our aim is "fighting crime, protecting the public."
We cover 477 square miles, serve a population of around 550,000 and employ in the region of 1,260 Police Officers, 950 police staff and 120 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). For more details about the force, visit our website www.bedfordshire.police.uk
As the children play outside in the corridor, Sister Virgini mops the floor. Behind her, a pot of beans simmers.

The BLM Wyoming Cody Field Office hosted volunteers to remove net-wire fence and replace it with barbed and smooth-wire fence in order to help pronghorn and mule deer migration.
“It was a great time with lots of smiles and enthusiasm,” said BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Nancy Patterson. “About 47 folks removed 1.75 miles of network fence!”
The Cody Field Office thanks all the volunteers who spent the day with us. Partners included The Nature Conservancy, which brought a Montana Conservation Corps crew to help; Sunlight Sports, which provided snacks and water; and Marathon Oil, which hauled-off all the netwire and took it for recycling. Folks from Trout Creek Ranch, Winding Pathways of Cedar Rapids and the MCC crew volunteered to be small group leaders and help teach others to fence. In addition to interested community members, volunteers from Wyoming Migration Initiative, Absaroka Outdoor Fellowship, Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Northwest Outdoor Club, Shoshone NF, Cody Next Generation, and Buffalo Bill Center of the West all volunteered to help.

World famous tenor Russell Watson dropped in to meet a group of young people at Swinton Police Station back in 2002.
He gave up his time to meet one of the groups taking part in Greater Manchester Police's "Make A Difference" challenge.
As part of the scheme the group would undertake a project to improve community life in their area.
The scheme was also designed to develop life skills and help build self confidence.
Russell was raised in nearby Irlam and was only to happy to lend his support.
Russell rose to fame a few years earlier - after several years singing in clubs - when he was asked to sing the National Anthem at the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium and to sing a number of songs at the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final in Manchester United's treble winning season.
He continues - despite two major health scares in the recent years - to be a hugely popular singer on the wold stage to this day.

Afrika, July 2006.
what does it take to make a difference....?
A wise old man was on his daily walk along the beach. At a distance he noticed a little boy reaching down to pick something up and throwing it into the ocean, then tirelessly repeating it over and over again.
The old man curiously moved closer to find out what he was up to. The boy was picking up starfish left stranded by the ebbing tide, and tossing them back into the water, one by one, as if trying to save them all from dying and also from the hungry seagulls.
Convinced of the futility of the task the boy had taken upon himself, the old man went up to him and said, "Son, hundreds of starfish dry up on this beach everyday. What you're doing simply won't make a difference."
Clearly hearing what the old man had said, the little boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it as far as he could, back into the water. Then he looked at the old man, smiled and politely said,
"Well, it made a difference to that one!"
i heard this story at an anti-war rally, back in 2006.....
