Dedicated to strong habitat and wildlife conservation, Daniel Lee's performance will help raise on-the-ground funding for habitat work performed by the nations leading quail and upland game conservation organization, Quail Unlimted. Edgefield, SC (PRWEB) April 21, 2007 -- "Finding a great connection to new entertainers, people who share our passion for conservation and the outdoors, is a huge benefit for any organization" states Rocky Evans, President of Quail Unlimited. "This country boy is an outdoorsman, a strong Christian and family man who likes to spend as much time in the woods and on the water, giving him the soul of country that emerges in his music. For us, it is a great connection, and they are few and far between, when we truly know an artist shares the same love of God, nature, conservation and the heritage of hunting and fishing as we do.
Mt Elgon: Michuki responds to critics
THE government yesterday defended its handling of Mt Elgon violence and disclosed that 280 people have so far been arrested while police were pursuing 80 others. At least 13 suspected criminals have been killed by both Kenyan and Ugandan security forces for alleged involvement in the skirmishes that according to estimates have left about 150 people dead. According to a statement signed by Internal Security Minister John Michuki, the 13 , most of whom were flushed out of their hideouts in the forest, were killed in fire exchange between them and they police after they defied orders to surrender. The statement says that 71 innocent people have also been killed and another 23 injured. It puts the number of those displaced at 3,000. However, this is against other reports which put the number of people displaced by the skirmishes that have persisted for the last six months at 60,000 and those killed at 150.
Birding routes a boost for tourism
THE feasibility of establishing birding routes in the Western Cape has been proposed to the tourism industry on the Garden Route. Anton Odendaal, of Birdlife Overberg, recently made a presentation to representatives of the various tourism bureaus in the Southern Cape. There are a number of birding routes in South Africa already. Not only are the routes popular, they also have a proven track record as economic drivers. The Limpopo Birding Route, which incorporates the Pafuri section of the Kruger National Park, garners R40-million a year to the local economy by way of air fares, accommodation, car hire, fees, purchases and remuneration of employees. The Zululand Birding Route brings in R15- million a year to the local economy. The economic potential of birding is huge, Odendaal said.
No. 42, 60 years later
Had Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1946, the tributes to him last year would have come in a context vastly different from this year. His role in history -- not only as the first African-American to play for a major league baseball team but also as a major figure in breaking down the barriers of bias -- would have been lauded in the press, on the airwaves, and in the bleachers themselves, without the need for a footnote. Most commentators would have remarked that 60 years after Mr. Robinson took his first step onto the diamond at Ebbets Field, America has come a long way in closing its racial divide. But Jackie Robinson didn't become a Dodger until April 15, 1947, and now, all these years later, the events of last week are a reminder that race remains a divisive issue in this country.
