This is one of a number of such programs at Cedarmere, a Nassau County Historic

rotation. They will get a number of
chances with the nine-page salt marsh classic "Hymns of the Marshes,"
written in 1879 by Sidney Lanier of Baltimore, Md.
"Ye marshes, how candid and simple
And nothing-withholding and free
Ye publish yourselves to the sky
And offer yourselves to the sea!"
There will be contemporary poems like "Wetlands" from her book,
"Make Your Way Across This Bridge,"
by Nassau Community College English Professor Patti Tana of Locust Valley, where
she writes,
"Here I am vast/ vast as horizon/ where reeds lash/ the sky."

I have an inquiry from a friend who is helping someone fill 75 positions
for environmental scientists/envir. engineers/water-wastewater/ health
and safety, etc. for SCM Consultants (subsidiary of Tetra Tech). They
really need folks to help out with the environmental assessment/cleanup
associated with the damage caused by hurricane Katrina. I can put
anyone in touch with my friend who is doing this.
Please do not forward this email after
October 1, 2005, and
please keep this date information on any forwarded email... thanks.
