Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln Digest, Vol 156, Issue 27

[Tom Kennedy]

Classic media dynamic:
Independent nets, News Nation, Newsmax, Fox, Substack, etc., announcing
"Trump announces cease-fire". 
Obsolete networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, saying Trump "suggesting" or "asking
for" cease-fire". MSNBC and PBS are too busy throwing temper tantrums, and
resisting...... elections.

No matter what you think of Trump, the former is correct, a fact. The latter
is a misrepresentation.
And media wonder why they've lost all credibility?

Good morning Lincoln,

We are hoping to find a home for this table that doesn?t work for us
anymore. Bought at the Thomasville closeout a few years ago it?s in mostly
good condition except for the dings along the side.  It?s 46? x 78? and has
2 unused leaves. The pedestals are not currently attached.

I've been curious as to the possible air pollution of fireworks.  Does
anyone out there know anything about this?

Thank you!!!  I will check them out.  So far, I have every kind of
goldenrod you can imagine, a lovely collection of asters, rudbeckia, and
copious amounts of fern, wild blueberry, etc.  I'm searching for a way to
bring it together, but also for natives that won't volunteer.  This is
helpful.  I haven't bought plants with soil because of the worms.  I feel
responsible for the woods around us that lead to Walden.  They've got
enough trouble with burning bush, Oriental bittersweet, and buckthorn.  I
hadn't thought of plugs as an option.

Thank you!

Karen Burciaga, *violin, guitar, alto*
Daniel Meyers, *recorders, flute, percussion, baritone *
Josh Schreiber, *viol, cello, bass*
Matthew Wright,* lute, guitar, tenor*

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the ?shot heard round the world."
The historic events at Lexington and Concord on the morning of April 19,
1775 sparked the beginning of the Revolutionary War and the eventual
creation of the United States. This tour of early New England traces a
musical lineage from the first settlers at Plimoth to their descendants on
the eve of the Revolution and eventual victory at Yorktown. English catches
and early shape note hymns lead to songs of liberty, rants against taxation
and tyranny, wartime laments, and even some of George Washington's favorite
dance tunes. The program includes works by Thomas Arne and William
Billings, selections from the Ainsworth Psalter and the Bay Psalm Book, and
a pleasing variety of dance tunes from 18th-c. American manuscripts.

sharing  music by Dufay and Binchois, 16th and 17th-c. consorts of Gibbons,
Jenkins, and Purcell, dance tunes from  18th-c. Scotland, choral writing of
20th-c. France, and ending with modern works by living composers. *Details*

Musica Maestrale highlights the charming courtly songs of 17th-c. France.

sentiments of loss, longing, and heartbreak?still highly relatable subjects
today. *Details*

Subject: [LincolnTalk] Friends of Lincoln Council on Aging asks your
        support for the Community Center
Message-ID:
        <CAKoOV3f+uMEC8TdFy4PPo8B=bj9uf0gdbz-bzn2ia02oy1a...@mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

At the 2024 Town Meeting, as the culmination of decades of discussion and
planning, the citizens of Lincoln resoundingly approved a project to build
a new Community Center designed specifically to meet the needs of the
Council on Aging and Human Services (COA&HS), Lincoln Extended-Day
Activities Program (LEAP), and the Parks and Recreation Department.



Since then, architects, site planners, designers, along with the Community
Center Building Committee (CCBC), the Conservation Commission, and other
Town boards and committees have worked diligently to turn the vision of a
Community Center into reality.  Throughout the process, they made a number
of cuts to the original design to reduce costs.  Even so, when bids for
construction came in, the lowest bid exceeded the original budget by $2.3M,
due to tariffs, supply chain issues, and overall economic conditions.



The CCBC has requested the additional $2.3M from the Town in order to
proceed with the construction of the Community Center on the current
schedule.



The Friends of the Lincoln Council on Aging has been a strong proponent of
the Community Center project from the beginning.  We contributed $1M to the
Community Center project in order to reduce the amount the Town needed to
borrow to fund it.  In addition, we helped raise $345,000 through private
contributions to reduce the cost of the project to the taxpayers.



We strongly support the CCBC?s request that the Town contribute $2.3M from
the Stabilization Fund to the Community Center project.  The Town has
managed its affairs prudently so that the requested funds are available
without requiring additional borrowing. This project, at this time, still
represents a generationally unique opportunity for the residents of Lincoln
to build an asset that will continue to serve the Town?s residents, of all
ages, for years to come.



Please join us at the Special Town Meeting on June 25 at 6:30pm.  We hope
you?ll vote in favor of Article 1 to provide the Community Center project
with the funding it needs.

sorry if this doesn't get grouped into the right thread!

Dear Terry Kay,

The Lincoln Land Conservation Trust has been working diligently to improve
Lincoln?s habitat for our native flora and fauna for years! As part of our
Pollinator Action Plan, we have planted quite a few ?pocket? demonstration
gardens throughout town, as well as taken more proactive steps to improve
some of our larger conservation areas. We also hold an annual plant sale
where the same plants that we source for our conservation areas are offered
at wholesale prices to the public.

Our website has more information on our action plan and activities: our
resources page is probably the best place to start:
https://lincolnconservation.org/pollinators/resources/ and you can see the

location of our pollinator gardens here:
https://lincolnconservation.org/pollinators/pollinator-sites/

We also host garden tours and have the following dates and times planned to
visit our sites and hear from staff regarding our work in these areas ? our
garden tours, as well as ALL Lincoln conservation land, are ALWAYS free and
open to the public!

July 2, 11 am: Chapman Pasture
July 9, 9 am: Lincoln Station Garden

We are also always available to answer any specific questions you might
have so please feel free to reach out!

Best,
Sara Lupkas, Stewardship Director
Bryn Gingrich, Outreach Director

RE>  I've been curious as to the possible air pollution of fireworks.  Does
anyone out there know anything about this?

Fireworks throw a lot of unhealthy pollutants in the air, and then
unhealthy debris from igniting those fireworks settles in the soil and
migrates into our groundwater. You really don't want to be inhaling the
cloud after a fireworks display.

For more information:   https://earth.org/environmental-impact-of-fireworks/

This article includes a description of the surge in PM2.5 (particulate
matter) in India during Diwali celebrations, reaching crazy hazardous
levels.

Prairie Moon nursery
https://www.prairiemoon.com/ is a great source of natives in many formats:
plugs, bare root, and seeds.

Even if you don?t order anything, it is a great site for native plant
information, including range maps, seed germination, and care.

I've heard of Prairie Moon, but wasn't sure of their JW status.  After
talking with Belinda several times about JW, I think I'm ready to try milk
jug planting/winter stratification with seeds, and I'm going to discuss the
plugs with these recommended nurseries.  My next project!  Thank you!

Warm regards,
Terry Kay

Thank you so much!  It's my understanding that some of the local native
plant sales have jumping worms, so I've been afraid to purchase from them,
although I'm always conflicted between wanting to check them out, wanting
to add more variety to my yard, and trying to be content with moving
volunteers to create a sense of garden or meadow instead of weedy lawn.  So
far, my husband teases me that I'm achieving the latter.   Are there native
plant sales that can be guaranteed to be free of jumping worms?  So far, we
don't have them, and I'm trying to keep it that way.  I have my hands full
with enough invasives as it is.

I will absolutely check out LLCT PAP!  This is a really busy time for my
beekeeping (I pulled the first completely capped honey super today!!), but
as things slow down, I will absolutely check out the tours and gardens.  I
need some ideas; there is no doubt!

Warm regards,
Terry Kay

Remember to lower your energy usage on these hot days *between 4pm and 8pm*.
Together we can reduce the likelihood that the most polluting power plants
have to be added during these peak hours of electricity usage. These also
drive up our overall electricity costs.

day.*


Hi Ursula,

Thanks to those of you who started conserving electricity yesterday! Let's
conserve for a couple more days to get through this heat wave.

Here are the BEST WAYS to save electricity during peak events:

   1. Turn the air conditioner up a few degrees, or off if you can manage.
   Pro tip: "Pre-cool" in the morning with AC, then use fans in the
afternoon
   (which use much less electricity).

   2. Avoid running the dishwasher, clothes washer, or dryer.

   3. Hold off on charging electric vehicles until overnight.

   4. Share your actions on social media with hashtag* #ShavethePeak*!

By conserving together at the same time, we can show policymakers support
for an electricity system that is resilient and less dependent upon fossil
fuels.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
The team at Green Energy Consumers

Good Question about the Jumping Worms!!

I am wondering if taking the plants down to "bare root" is the way to go?  A
total bother?but the jumping worms would be worse.

I've been advised to do that, but for now, I'm going to continue avoiding
the plants with soil.  I'm not yet comfortable.  I did buy a few Concord
grape and raspberry plants early in the spring - my one and only attempt to
get back in there -  but at the end of the day, I quarantined them and
haven't dealt with them.  I really love Belinda's suggestion to milk jug
and cold stratify over the winter, and I'm going to find out about the
plugs.  Having recs gives me confidence!  And for the planning aspect of
it, I truly am at the point that I think I need help, so I'll be checking
out those recs as well.  I think my neighbors would appreciate it!

Thank you!

We had to clear-cut a fairly large area for a new septic system. Took down
32 mature trees. I am experimenting with letting this meadow fill in with
what ever the wind blows in. I often find that plants such as native wild
strawberry, enchanters nightshade, and Celidine poppy just appear if I don?t
over-mulch. Anyway, I plan to scan for invasives once a week and hope that
native pollinator-friendly plants will move in. I already have a lot of
golden rod. It?s cheaper than buying plants. Wish me luck!

I'd rather spend a bit for the entire town's entertainment than spending
Millions on discretionary projects.

I thought political talk was banned on Lincoln talk. What's going on with
this. Respect the moderators request. Completely unfair. Biases are not
good culture
