By Allison Renck On Saturday, Sept. 27, people from all over the United States will step out and give a little of their time to do volunteer work projects on public lands in the United States. The volunteer day first began in 1994 with 700 volunteers at three public lands sites. This volunteer event has become a tradition that is typically held on

the last Saturday in September. It has become one of the nation’s largest single days of volunteer efforts for public land projects. In 2013, approximately 175,000 volunteers worked at 2237 sites in every state, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico. Last year these volunteers built and maintained an estimated 1500 miles of trails and planted an estimated 100,000 trees.

Before these projects begin it takes an effort from people who are employed and volunteer with these public agencies to identify, coordinate and determine the work to be done. On August 29, multiple individuals met at the Cactus Springs Trailhead to scope out and make a list of supplies needed for the volunteer workday. This group of individuals in-

cluded experts like Tracy Albrecht, Interpretive Specialist from Bureau of Land Management/Santa Rosa National Monument; Andy Smith, a wilderness manager for San Bernardino National Forest; and Heide Schneck, Bureau of Land Management Palm Springs Office. But these experts weren’t the only ones who helped make this

Recently Hamilton High’s football field became the home field to an AAA professional football team, the SoCal Coyotes. The SoCal Coyotes is a non-profit, sports leadership organization whose goal is to develop and showcase the skills of its players. These players, many of whom were stars in college, have a chance to continue to play and be seen in hopes they will be picked up by a national level teams in the NFL, CFL and AFL. In the meantime they have a chance to entertain football fans in an upfront and personal manner. The team seems to have dominated the sport in their league, the LaBelle Community Football League (LCFL), over the past four years in both the spring and fall seasons.

The So Cal Coyotes are the 2013 champions of the United Football Alliance League (UFAL) and the 2012 champions of the Pac West. These achievements as well as others show their drive and commitment, talent and skills in the game, according to publications and experts in football. Complementing their achievements on July 7, 2014, The Football Educator, founded by former Broncos General Manager Ted Sundquist, named the Coyotes America’s No. 1 Developmental Professional Football Program. The organization is not just about game, it about the total man and “the life lived.” Players who enter the organization are asked to examine personal values, opinions, and beliefs, and to adopt a code of ethics and skills that builds leadership.
