I have talked about the Nanticoke River Creek Watchers before, now a quick update. I am one of the volunteers who with Ric Johansen test two sites every two weeks. We are now 40 people monitoring 43 sites. Our season ran from April to December.
The program has been so successful the the sponsoring organization, the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance, decided to give the Creek Watchers a seat on the Board of directors.
I was selected with Dick Work as a alternate.
It is a great honor for me!

The winners compete at the World Championship in Denver, on April 5-6,2009.
If you don't know what speed stacking is , please visit the official website: www.speedstacks.com. It is a great non contact sport that develops hand-eye coordination.
