Friday, November 18, 12:15 - 1:30 in the MSU Museum Auditorium, featuring
Michael Honey, Fred T. and Dorothy G. Haley Endowed Professor of the Humanities, University of Washington-Tacoma, part of next week’s Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives brown bag and co-sponsored by the MSU African-American and African Studies Program.
On April 4, the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's death in Memphis, unions sponsored "We Are One" events in over a thousand communities, demanding the labor rights and economic justice that King died trying to protect. Michael Honey was on the road, speaking to the national AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C., at Morehouse College, and at the ML King Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta. Honey's edited book of King's labor speeches, All Labor Has Dignity (Beacon, 2011), highlights King's righteous commitment to working and poor people and offers a moral discourse for union rights.
Honey, a scholar of African American and labor history, is also the author of the award-winning Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King's Last Campaign (WW Norton, 2007). He will be speaking about King's unfinished agenda for labor rights and how it translates in the era of the 1 percent vs. the 99 percent and the current assaults on unions.
Honey also will be speaking and signing books at Schuler's Meridian Mall Bookstore in Okemos (1982 Grand River – Near the intersection of Marsh Road and Grand River) at 7:00 P.M.

20) Breakfast with Bauer
Saturday, Nov. 19, 9-10 am at Gone Wired Café.
21) November Tips from Van Atta’s
· Now is the time to wrap your tender shrubs in burlap to protect them from damaging winds. Boxwood, rhododendron, azaleas, roses and Japanese maples can all stand to have a barrier of burlap between them and the winter wind. Place stakes around the plants and wrap the stakes with burlap, leaving the top open. Fill the open space with leaves for added protection, particulary on the roses.
· Boxwood, rhododendron and azalea all benefit from applications of WiltPruf or Wilt Stop, which helps prevent moisture loss during the winter. Do your first application around Thanksgiving when the temperatures are above freezing and a second application during a winter thaw.
· Wrap your arborvitae with burlap 6' up to protect against deer browsing in the winter.
· Spread shredded leaves on your garden beds as added compost to till in next spring.
· Plant "green manure" or a cover crop of clover, winter wheat or winter rye on your garden to till in next spring.
· Prune summer blooming shrubs now: rose of sharon, hydrangea (except for pink or blue hydrangeas-macrophylla), potentilla, spirea and wiegela. You don't have to prune any of them, you would just do it for shape and size.
· Plant fall bulbs now!
· If you haven't done it yet, clean up your pots and landscape of annuals and perennials that have been hit with frost.
· Don't wait until you're trudging through snow to put up your Christmas lights. You can put them up now and cross that off your holiday to-do list.
Mark your calendar!! Our Annual Holiday Open House is November 19th and 20th from 12-5 both days. We'll have great musical entertainment, refreshments and local vendors both days, and Santa will be here from 12-3 both days!

24) New Urban Snow Park
Winter sports enthusiasts have a new place to call home at Hawk Island County Park, 1601 East Cavanaugh Road in Lansing. The Hawk Island
Snow Park
has a new multi-use hill with areas for tubing, snowboarding and skiing.
The Snow Park
is the first recreation destination of its kind in the Lansing area - and maybe the whole
country!! Besides micro-ski areas like Mulligan's Hollow in Grand Haven,
there are only a handful of terrain parks in cities. The newly formed Urban
Snow Parks LLC teamed up with Ingham County Parks to make the hill reality.
Hawk Island
Park Manager Brian Collins said plans
to create a tubing hill were already in place through a $75,000 matching grant
from Michigan’s
Department of Natural Resources when representatives from Urban Snow Parks LLC
approached the county about including a snowboarding and skiing section last
winter. County officials set aside $35,000 to assist with additional
grading and architectural design. The snowboarding portion will be paid for
through fundraising and admission fees. Admission to the park will be $7.
The snowboarding portion was designed by Ryan Neptune, a nationally recognized
winter sports course designer who has worked on terrain parks for events such
as the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Like much larger snow parks, Hawk Island
will have a snow maker and chair lift. The new snow park opens in late November

Submitted by Eric Schertzing, County Treasurer and Head of the Land Bank
Save the date for our annual Holiday Open house – December 8th at 934 Clark Street in the Northtown Neighborhood Organization. This magnificent renovation is home to the new Kincaid-Henry offices and the NEO Center – Lansing’s first business incubator. Open House runs from 4-7 p.m. The redevelopment of this tax foreclosed property was made possible by accelerated Brownfield Tax Increment Finance reimbursements through the Land Bank and the Ingham County Brownfield Authority. This building started as a bakery, became a print shop that had a sizable Oldsmobile contract and ended it prior life as an internet business. Come see our future!
