Managing Stormwater Naturally with Green Parks
PA DCNR
We think of our community park as a great place to take a walk, be active, or enjoy nature, but with a few key features they also can help manage the runoff and flooding that occurs when it rains or when snow melts. Stormwater runoff from roads, parking lots, and rooftops causes problems including flooding, erosion, washing pollution into waterways, and less groundwater recharge. A traditional landscape for a local park often consists of turf grass, with a few trees, shrubs, and flowers interspersed throughout. The layout and maintenance of these areas offers limited habitat for wildlife, and may require considerable amounts of water and nutrients to maintain. Sustainable landscapes, on the other hand, focus more attention on selecting appropriate native plants, on minimizing human impacts on the environment, and on other methods that will conserve the community’s natural resources and character and improve overall quality of life. If designed correctly, parks also can reduce stormwater impacts, and depending on conditions can save money spent on “gray infrastructure” like pipes and treatment facilities. Features can include:
How does green infrastructure help? It can capture runoff, slow it down, and help it soak back into the soil and groundwater. Native vegetation helps evaporate and transpire storm water. Trees along streams improve water quality and cool the water. Planted areas look good, provide recreational opportunities and help clean the air. Often, the cost of green infrastructure projects, which do require some maintenance, is competitive with or less than comparable gray infrastructure projects, and the environmental and public health benefits of green infrastructure add to the equation. “Green infrastructure is a cost-effective, resilient approach to managing the impacts of rain and snow events that also provides many community benefits,” DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said. Green infrastructure also can help communities meet the stormwater management requirements of Pennsylvania’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) program.

Can You Believe It?
Ohio fishermen reel in 16-foot snake
from frozen river
CLEVELAND, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- A pair of Ohio fishermen reeled in an unexpected catch: a 16-foot long snake in a frozen river.
Sam Lincoln shared a pair of photos on Instagram showing off the massive snake which he and a friend happened upon at the Chagrin River.
"When you're trying to swing up some holiday steel and you don't catch any fish but you catch a 16-foot constrictor instead," he said.
Lincoln said he and a friend were fishing together on the river when they spotted the snake wrapped around a log beneath the ice.
"We were just fishing a run and looked up and saw it wrapped around a log, half frozen in the water," he told CBS Philadelphia. "Took a while to get it free and pulled it onto the bank. ... Best guess is 14-16 feet and easily 125+ pounds."
Cleveland Metroparks aquatic biologist Mike Durkalec said dead constrictors occasionally turn up frozen after people release their unwanted pets into the wild after growing too big, according to Fox 43.
"Over the years, I've had two incidents where I've personally seen constrictors dead along our rivers this time of year. One was a 7-foot animal snagged by a fisherman; the other one, I found myself just along the side of the river. That was about a 4- to 5-foot boa," he said.

Get in Gear this Year with
a Resolution to Ride With
Now that the ball has dropped to usher in 2014, make it your mission to set a resolution to stick with this new year. According to Forbes, more than 40 percent of Americans set a goal for themselves at the start of a fresh year. However, only a mere 8 percent ever actually reach the finish line due to lack of ease and tangibility.
So this year, while the fitness centers become packed with people vowing to get physically fit for 2014, spend some time in the garage easily getting something else into shape - your car.
Good automotive health begins at the heart of the vehicle: the engine. Motor Oil Matters, or MOM, a consumer education and industry watchdog program from the American Petroleum Institute, sets out to inform consumers on the benefits of following your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance recommendations and using quality API-licensed motor oils.
Sticking to your New Year's resolution doesn't always have to be difficult. Keep your second largest investment in top shape for 2014 by following these simple and easy vehicle maintenance tips from MOM:
Make the grade
Using the proper viscosity grade of motor oil is imperative to the general health of your engine. An oil that is too thick or too thin for the overall flow can result in minimized engine protection and, ultimately, energy degradation, aging and wear. Check your vehicle manufacturer's guide for your engine's viscosity needs.
Make sure the oil's right
Vehicle manufacturers recommend oils meeting specific performance standards. Many of these standards are set by API. Check the oil change recommendations in your owner's manual before you take your car or truck for an oil change. It's the easiest way to make sure your mechanic installs an oil meeting the performance standard recommended for your car or truck.
Get the seal of approval
Your vehicle's engine deserves only the best to be the best not only at the beginning of 2014, but also all year round. If your owner's manual recommends an API-licensed oil, and most do, API has made it easy to find brands that meet the recommendation for your car or truck - just browse our directory of API-licensed oils at engineoil.api.org/Directory/EolcsSearch. For more information on the benefits of using high-quality, API-licensed motor oils, visit www.motoroilmatters.org.
Pay attention to other maintenance recommendations
Motor oil isn't the only item that should be checked and changed regularly. Most vehicle manufacturers provide a list of items that should be checked and changed regularly. Make sure your mechanic pays attention to all of the service recommendations for your car or truck.
This new year, make it your resolution to help your car feel healthy and protected. Let MOM help you achieve your goal and make the right decisions for your vehicle's engine. For more information on the Motor Oil Matters program, visit www.motoroilmatters.org.

Fifteen Achievable
New Year’s Resolutions
by Kelly Williams Brown
The Daily Beast
You can lose weight, quit smoking, and do practically anything else if you set the bar low enough.
If you want to lose weight:
Limit yourself to eating no more than two types of fried animal in any given day, or three if it’s a weekend.
If you want to quit smoking:
This year, no smoking and pooping at the same time!
If you want to get better with money:
Every month, think about looking at your bank statement. Just the thinking is sufficient.
If you want to spend more time with your family:
Once a week, call your mother while walking somewhere—just make sure you establish, ahead of time, that once you reach the destination, this call is over. Also, text her emojis at random. Mothers don’t understand emojis but love them anyway.
If you are an upstart senator from Texas that wants to be seen as taking a courageous political stance against policy that, while flawed, has been upheld by both voters and courts:
Resolve that this can and should be the year that zero preschoolers go hungry based on your quixotic grandstanding.
If you want to pursue an artistic hobby:
Resolve to spend every work meeting doodling portraits of your co-workers. See how that feels before you sink $87 into oil paints that you’ll use once.
If you want to eat better food:
Yes, you could sign up for cooking classes or a CSA. But really, it’s best to be realistic: no meals from gas stations.
If you want to get in shape:
Decide that once a week, you’ll walk up a flight of stairs, then heartily congratulate yourself aloud. It’s all about the positivity!
If you want to finally learn Spanish:
Actually, this is a pretty good resolution, so go for it.
If you want to finally make peace with your troubled childhood and reconcile with an estranged parent:
Good luck to you—seriously. In the meantime, resolve to never wash your hands while wearing long sleeves? That never goes how you hope it will.
If you are someone who struggles,who messes up, who dwells on past mistakes, who tries to do right, who imagines they are a sham, and not the person they can and should be:
Yes, me too, and every single other human being in the world. This year, just try to be 4 percent nicer.

Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend
Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend will be held January 27th thru January 29th, 2017.
Registrations must be received by January 25th! Please feel free to Share this with a special woman in your life who deserves a weekend retreat.
("We realize that times are financially difficult for many. If you cannot afford to come yet feel strongly called to be with us, please let us know! There are a few partial scholarships available plus Credit Cards can be accepted by contacting Beth at beth@rainbowofpromise.com for details.")
We are very excited to announce that Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat will once again be held at the Kirkridge Farmhouse.
Keeping with tradition, the Women of Columcille invite you to come celebrate and honor our beloved Brighid, Goddess of Fire and Water. It is also that time of year when life slowly begins to flow and move underneath. It is the return of 'Light', the beginning of Spring also known as Imbolc 'flowing of ewe's milk' when it was all agrarian society. Let's celebrate and prepare ourselves for the return of 'Light' once again through ceremony, song, ritual and camaraderie of all your Sistars or just take 'me' time, walk the land, meditate and reflect!
Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time! Later we honor Brighid with a healing Fire ceremony, followed by our deeply bonding bonfire gathering with song, chants, and 'placing of cloths' for Brighid's Blessings. Then let off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle!
Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! We look forward to 'connecting' with all our Sistars!
