SUMMARY:G.T. Humanists Meeting: Great Lakes\, Protection vs. Profit
DESCRIPTION:Barb Stamiris will present a program on the Line 5 oil pipeline (which runs through the Straits of Mackinac) and discuss why many believe it should be shut down. \nGovernor Whitmer has recently filed a lawsuit ordering a shutdown of Line 5. Her recent opinion piece for the Washington Post can be read here: www.washingtonpost.com\nBarb became an environmental activist in the 1980s when she realized that her home was within a 10 mile radius of the Midland nuclear plant under construction. In 1984 she testified before Congress about problems with the plant\, which never opened and was instead converted into a gas-fired steam recovery power plant.\nA retired teacher\, Barb now focuses on Line 5 as member of the oilandwatererdontmix.org Steering Committee and works with FLOW (For Love of Water). She is a board member of NMI Environmental Action Council and Leelanau League of Women Voters. \nThis meeting will take place in person at Mark Elliott and Heather Kingham’s back patio. They ask that you please be vaccinated if you decide to attend. In case of rain\, it will happen as a virtual Zoom meeting.

SUMMARY:G.T. Humanist Paddle on Pickerel Creek
DESCRIPTION:Join the Grand Traverse Humanists for a paddle trip up the little-known Betsie River tributary of Pickerel Creek! This creek is a particular favorite of the trip leader\, Linnaea–it’s a beautiful area and feels very remote.  \nThe launch is located at Grass Lake Campground. Details here: https://www2.dnr.state.mi.us/parksandtrails/details.aspx… \nThe creek has no current to speak of\, so this will be an out and back paddle. No shuttle required\, as we’ll paddle out and return the same way. To paddle the full distance\, at one point it will be required to get out of your boat to get over a beaver dam. Linnaea will assist anyone that needs help. Those who do not wish to go over the dam can turn around at this point and could also explore the nearby Grass Lake. \nA few pointers and safety tips are always good to keep in mind:\n*Bring water\, a change of clothes in a dry sack\, sunscreen\, a snack or sack lunch\, and appropriate\, securely fastened footwear that you don’t mind getting wet. Flip flops not recommended\, and bare feet are unacceptable.\n*Bring your PFD/flotation device. Even if you don’t wear it\, you’ll need to have one with you.\n*Children and dogs are welcome\, but must be controlled. There is a lot of wildlife on this waterway\, and we don’t want to disturb it any more than necessary!\n*Don’t forget your paddle (and kayak/canoe)!\n*MOST IMPORTANTLY: THERE’S NOWHERE TO STOP ON THIS RIVER! Therefore there is nowhere to get out and go to the bathroom! Plan accordingly. There is an outhouse at the launch site.\nWe’ll meet at the launch site at 2 PM. The launch is at the far east end of the campground.\nEmail Linnaea to RSVP.
