Keith “Kip” Kummerle’s (Cincinnati) farm and his method for raising cattle were featured in an article in the May 12, 2010, issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Farmers have grazed cattle on grass as long as there’s been animal agriculture. But in the U.S., since the early ’50s, almost all cattle are started on grass, then shipped to feed lots in the West where they’re fattened on corn in the company of tens of thousands of other cattle. But since about the late ’90s, more and more like Kummerle are farming the old way. ‘I love doing it this way,’ said Kummerle. ‘I’m working with nature instead of trying to control it. It just makes sense. Animals were designed to be on grass. They have a short life anyway, tragically, but they are happier, healthier like this.’” “Kummerle calls his 140-head operation Grassland Graze (http:// grasslandgraze.com), and he and his fiancée, Jen Eckels, (and their border collie Harry) are the entire staff… “Kummerle has been at this since 2003, after graduating from an agricultural college where he learned sustainable farming techniques…”

Congratulations to Engjellushe “Angel” Kozeli (Boston, MA) on receiving the Mary M. Connolly Most Valuable Partner Award in February 2010 from the Senior Partners for Justice. When asked why she volunteers with Senior Partners, Angel, who is in her third year of law practice, says, “Simply put, the reason I love and participate in the Senior Partners program is because I benefit from it on so many levels: I get the chance to contribute and provide much-needed legal assistance to those who need it the most while getting great experience, training and mentoring from the best and the brightest, and making connections with a very diverse and interesting group of practitioners whom I am very lucky to get to know and work with. Senior Partners is simply too good an opportunity to pass up. I’m a better person and hopefully a better lawyer because of it.” Tim Wyant (New York, NY), Executive Director of City Squash, emailed, “…50 CitySquashers and seven staff members piled into vans and made the three-hour trek to Williams College for the Eighth Annual Urban Individual Nationals. For our team members, Urban Individuals is one of the most important competitions of the year. It brings together nearly 300 competitors from the country’s nine urban squash programs. The participants, who hail from the likes of Roxbury, South Chicago, North Philadelphia, Harlem and the Bronx, sleep in Williams dormitories and eat in one of its dining halls. They get to know the campus, reconnect with friends, cheer on teammates, and play their hearts out on court. “Last weekend went great for CitySquash. Our team members made up 17 of the event’s 32 semifinalists and, for the second year in a row, they captured seven of the eight titles….”
