Pow Wow 2000 All Aboard All Aboard! Pow Wow Express 2000 Pow Wow 2000 Northwest Suburban Council November 4, 2000 Northwest Suburban Council All Aboard The Pow Wow Express Pow Wow 2000 All Aboard ` Northwest Suburban Council All Aboard The Pow Wow Express Pow Wow 2000 All Aboard Northwest Suburban Council Pow Wow – Kingswood Methodist Church, Buffalo Grove, IL November 4th, 2000 Our year 2000 Cub Scout Leader Pow Wow has arrived! On behalf of all our planning and instructor staff, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you, the Cub Scout leader for attending and making this Pow Wow a success! Some of us are here to learn new things and share our experiences, some of us want to relax and recharge, and some just want to be part of the Cub Scout Pow Wow Spirit. Whatever the reason why we are here, one thing is for sure—all of us want to make Cub Scouting in Northwest Suburban Council the best it can be! We share a similar vision—to build our youth’s character and to have fun with a purpose. We can promise you that you too will have fun with a purpose by attending the sessions today and we know that you will bring back whatever you gain today to your Dens and Packs and the boys in your charge. This book is another resource for you and we hope you refer to it often in the weeks and months to come. The Book staff has worked long and hard to not only bring you the most up-to-date information but to also make this reference an idea sourcebook. Games, crafts, group control issues, service projects, it’s all here to help you run your meetings and plan exciting outings for your Cubs. Some of the best Pow Wow books are worn, dog-eared, and copied showing that it has been a friend to many a leader. I hope you take this challenge and use the book to its fullest potential. Pass it around, or better yet, have the other leaders get their own copy! This year we have introduced a new version of the book in CD-ROM format. Let us know what you think of this format by sending in the evaluation sheet included in the book to the Pow Wow Chairman addressed to the Council Offices. How can you tell a train has gone?… It left its tracks behind!!! Hopefully all we’ll leave behind this day is a carload of fond memories for the first Pow Wow in the new millennium! All Aboard! Pow Wow Express 2000—get ready for your departure and really enjoy your ride! See you at the Station! In the Pow Wow Spirit, Christopher M. Geraghty Pow Wow Chairman 2000 Northwest Suburban Council All Aboard The Pow Wow Express Pow Wow 2000 All Aboard November 4, 2000 Dear Cub Scout Leader: The Northwest Suburban Council is proud to present to you the 2000 All Aboard the Pow Wow Express Book. As you review this book, you will appreciate the numerous hours our volunteers have spent assembling and editing this publication. We are very proud of these efforts. Kudos to Dave Deutsch and Dianne DeCamp and Jacque Anderson for their outstanding contributions. Like Dave Deutsch said, “A Scout is always Prepared”. My hope is that this book will help you to “Be Prepared”. There are thousands of Tiger Cubs, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos who are counting on you, their leaders, to be prepared for their next Den Meeting or outdoor activity. Let this book be a resource for you. Without your dedication to the Scouting program there would not be a Northwest Suburban Council. I encourage you to use this resource as you lead your Cub Scouts down the trail of fun and adventure into the new millennium. Thanks for all the time you give and “stay on track”. Alllllll aboard!

Most packs must find a different meeting place because of the size of the crowd. The banquet committee reserves the location, arranges for the meal, sends out invitations, develops the program, and takes care of other responsibilities. Follow the guidelines for planning special pack activities and study the tips included in this section. They should make planning easier. Involve as many people as possible on the various committees. Take care not to overload the den leaders, who will be busy working with their dens. BANQUET COMMITTEE ROLES The banquet committee makes the following important decisions, then works in teams on individual responsibilities. Set Date and Time Select the date and time of the banquet if this has not been decided. In most packs, the banquet takes the place of the February pack meeting, although it is not necessarily held on the regular pack meeting night. 1. Ask about rental fee. This might determine which facility you use. 2. Check seating capacity and number of tables available. 3. Be sure there is adequate parking space, a coatroom, and rest room facilities. 4. Inquire about kitchen availability, if needed for preparation of the meal. 5. Secure permission to use special items-public address system, speaker's stand, etc. 6. Confirm reservations at least a month in advance. Develop A Meal Serving Plan Decide how dinner will be served. Possibilities are: Potluck: Each family brings a dish to share either with the whole pack or with the den group. Families furnish their own plates, utensils, serving dishes. Food is pooled and served buffet style. The pack might furnish the drinks. Food Committee: The pack can buy the meat, bread, beverages, plates, utensils, cups, and napkins, and ask pack families to bring salads, side dishes, and desserts. The cost can be prorated among those attending. Some packs purchase all the food and have a parents' food committee prepare the entire dinner. Northwest Suburban Council All Aboard The Pow Wow Express Pow Wow 2000 All Aboard Catered: A caterer can bring the food in already prepared, or the pack can go to a restaurant or cafeteria for the banquet, In these cases, the food is already prepared so there is nothing for the pack to do but decorate the room and tables. Each family pays for the cost of their own meal. Arrange The Facility Secure a suitable facility at least eight weeks in advance. The space needed will be determined by the type of serving arrangement used and the number of people attending. It could be the regular pack meeting place, a school cafeteria, church meeting room, civic center, town hall, restaurant, etc. Consider these things: · Rental fee, if any. · Seating capacity and number of tables available. · Kitchen availability, if needed. · Adequate parking space. · Convenient rest rooms. · Special Equipment. Secure any special equipment required such as - public address system and/or other required audio/visual equipment, speaker's stand, etc. · Confirm reservations. Do this at least a month in advance. THE PROGRAM TEAM Akela, Baloo, and Parents too! Develop a banquet program that includes all of the regular pack meeting activities, such as songs, skits, stunts, awards, and ceremonies. Something different and special can be added. Most packs prefer to use entertainment from within their own group.

Tax ID #93-0681311 Winter 2011 • NO. 115 Special Girl - Special Birthday Party Katie I. from New Jersey is a very special 10-year-old young lady. Every year for her “kid” birthday party, she asks for donations for a charity instead of birthday gifts. She has do- nated food and supplies to her local humane society and a local wildlife rescue organiza- tion. Last year she chose DFD for her charity! Her family was thrilled when she asked for dog toys and treats on her party in- vitations. After the party, they boxed up the goodies and mailed them to us for the dogs in training. We excitedly opened the box of toys and treats, and the dogs were thrilled with them! It is especially heartwarming to see someone this young who is so generous and anxious to help. Katie is obviously a dog lover, and we are very grateful for her special help. Her dona- tions help the dogs succeed in training and go on to fulfill their mission in life. Thank you McLoughlin Bulldogs! Thank you to the McLoughlin Bulldogs, Team 81, from McLoughlin Middle School in Medford, Oregon. They sent us a box of toys and treats for our dogs, along with a holiday card that included some of the following special notes from the kids: “Thank you for what you do. It really means a lot.” ~ Brittney P. “Hope you guys like the toys we got.

Curtis photographed Native American culture for his epic 20-volume work, The North American Indian, published from 1907-1930. Curtis’s work features over 2,000 photographs of Native Americans, rich with artifacts of Native American culture. Study of these photographs containing native artifacts reveals new perspectives on Native American life during the time Curtis took his photographs. This research focuses on Navajo weavings, one of the most popular and recognizable artifacts. Curtis wanted to capture a vanishing race of Native Americans, a popular belief of his time. Analysis of Navajo weavings in these photographs reveals a different viewpoint. Curtis’s beautiful photographs captured a period of transition as the Navajo used their ancient craft of weaving blankets for other Native American cultures to create rugs for a growing Anglo-American market, preparing their culture for the future. iii DEDICATION Education was important to my parents, Mary and Ralph Gresser.

    Forward by Byron R. Mayo, Nov. 7, 2012 I Idolize

    Forward by Byron R. Mayo, Nov. 7, 2012 I idolize my father. It was inevitable. I suspect every kid given half a chance will put his dad on a pedestal. I know many kids never got that chance and I feel all the more fortunate for having the relationship I did with him. He wasn't perfect by any means, but his flaws were too few to keep me from making him my hero. I feel like he opened the doors to the world for me and invited me to do anything and be anyone I wanted. Most of my own memories start about age 5 when he started teaching me to play chess and buying me science kits monthly, both things that opened doors and started journeys that became my life for which I forever thank him. Everyone who knew him thought him utterly charming. But he was a very quiet, very private man and as we grew older I realized just how little I really knew of him. Dad's memoires were begun in his retirement at the age of 74 in 1996 and arrived in the mail chapter by chapter as a serial novel over several years. Dad's creative energy was boundless and he very generously took up this project at my urging so I could know him better. It should be noted that at the same time, Dad was writing and editing the VOMPC Petanque Times for the Sonoma club and game that became his second family and passion in retirement. What started out as an intended 6 chapter life story became 17 chapters that cover the period from 1922 to 1943.

    R-21-22 Meeting 21-05 February 10, 2021 SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA ITEM 1 AGENDA ITEM Amendments to the Grazing Management Policy Pertaining Specifically to Reimbursements for Cattle Predation and Research on Safe Livestock and Wildlife Protection Measures GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Review and discuss the proposed amendments to the Grazing Management Policy as supported by the Planning and Natural Resources Committee, which pertain specifically to reimbursements and research work, including public and stakeholder feedback received. 2. Approve the proposed Grazing Management Policy amendments with any additional changes as requested by the Board of Directors. 3. Authorize the General Manager to make amendments to existing grazing leases to include updated lease provisions, including a reduction in rent rate consistent with the proposed Grazing Management Policy amendments. SUMMARY The General Manager recommends a Grazing Management Policy Amendment (GMPA) to add new policies and associated implementation measures that address conflicts between native predators and conservation grazing livestock in Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) preserves. Since the District began its conservation grazing program in 2007, there have been a total of 26 confirmed cattle losses to native predators. These losses put the District’s partnership with small-scale local cattle ranchers at risk by reducing the economic sustainability of their conservation grazing operations on District preserves. The recommended GMPA seeks to address these
