Help With Eradicating Invasive Species The Southborough Open Land Foundation (SOLF) is working with the New England Wildflower Society to address invasive species on Southborough Conservation land and promote native plant conservation. Many Southborough Residents are familiar with the invasive vine Oriental Bittersweet that engulfed the old apple orchard at the Breakneck Hill Conservation Land. The town has worked for years to eradicate the bittersweet and restore native plant populations to the conservation land. SOLF is also working to remove invasive species on the lands they own. Oriental Bittersweet is just one of many invasive species that threaten our native plants and wildlife habitat. Unfortunately there are new invasives headed our way that may pose even greater threats to our native ecosystems. The goal of the New England Wildflower Society’s (NEWFS) project is to locate, document and eradicate new invasive species before they get established in the region. The code name for the project is “Early Detection Rapid Response” (EDRR). To kick off the project NEWFS is holding 4 workshops to train volunteers from all 36 towns in the Sudbury Assabet and Concord Rivers Watershed (SuAsCo). SOLF is hosting one of the NEWFS workshops on May 15th at the Southborough Fire Station. The training sessions run from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., and includes a PowerPoint presentation on the early detection species with a discussion of their identification, habitats, impacts, and control. The rest of the morning includes a discussion of survey and documentation methods, use of GPS, and how/where to report findings. The afternoon training is primarily in the field, doing practice surveys and documentation. Participants will come from throughout the 36 SuAsCo Watershed towns, but SOLF is hoping for a strong attendance of Southborough residents who will then help us document and control the invasives here in town. There was a related story in today’s Metrowest Daily News http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/news/x905412009/Volunteers-on-the-lookout-for-invasive-plants SOLF’s Participation in the project is funded from a generous grant from The Foundation for MetroWest. Southborough residents that would like to attend or want more information are encouraged to contact SOLF’s Stewardship Coordinator Freddie Gillespie at Stewardship@solf.org |

 Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation Dedicated to Helping Keep Children Fire Safe
Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation, based in Clarksville, Arkansas, was recently designated as a tax exempt, 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit corporation organized specifically for charitable and educational purposes.
Founded by Fire Safety Educator Dayna Hilton, a firefighter, the foundation’s mission is to help keep children and their caregiver's fire safe nationwide. The Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation develops and distributes educationally sound innovative fire safety related materials at little or no cost to children and their caregivers, fire departments, schools and other organizations.
According to the United States Fire Administration’s Children and Fire in the United States Report (1994-1997), the very young (those under age five) have a much greater risk from fire than others. The group accounts for 11% of fire-related deaths~ the highest population for any age group.
Hilton, a nationally recognized fire safety expert, along with her fire safety dogs, have made it their mission to save lives, reduce injuries and decrease property loss from fire for almost a decade, concentrating their fire safety efforts on children in pre- and elementary schools and their caregivers.
Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation's mascot, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog, rescued from a home with 62 other dogs and adopted by Hilton in 2003, has received critical acclaim along with Hilton, for their innovative fire safety programming methods. Together, the two have reached millions of children and their caregivers their efforts have resulted in helping save the lives of two children and members of their families.
The Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation goals include the following:

Patrick told a Monday afternoon briefing at the state's
emergency management headquarters that 700 National Guard troops Patrick says no mandatory evacuations had been ordered as of yet, but residents of flood zones should be prepared to leave their homes quickly if flood waters rise. Forecast for More RainThe forecast for the next few days calls for 3-6 inches of rain throughout the Commonwealth, with localized higher amounts possible. With many rivers still in minor flood stages from the previous two rain storms, and the ground so thoroughly saturated, it is certain that street flooding and minor to moderate flooding of rivers and streams will occur. Today, the Governor reminded the public about precautions it should take, and updated people on the state’s efforts to prepare and assist local communities with response needs. Message to Citizens

CARE
TO CURE: The Latest in Alzheimer's
Research and Caregiving Strategies
We
are all moving around more with the
warm spring weather. Anyone can
fall, but the risk is higher in
older people. The risk of falling
can change with aging, medical
conditions and the environment. Why
take chances? To prevent falls:
identify and correct unsafe
conditions, such as lighting,
clutter and, loose electrical cords.
Also, proper foot care, eye care,
and physical activity can help
reduce the risk. Ask your doctor or
primary health care provider for
advice. Canes and walkers can lend
stability and reduce the risk of
falling. Together, these measures
can mean a safer spring. For more
advice on Alzheimer's issues, call
the 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
