Sarah Red-Laird is the founder and Executive Director of Bee Girl. Her love of bees and their honey began in Southern Oregon, on the deck of her aunt’s cabin, at the end of a country road. She brought her affinity for beekeeping with her to the University of Montana where she chose honey bees and Colony Collapse Disorder as her Davidson Honors College research thesis. Sarah's affinity for Apis mellifera was apparent to Dr. Jerry Bromenshenk at the UM Honey Bee Lab, and he gladly put her to work in research. Sarah finished her time as a student at UM with a presentation on her CCD and beekeeping findings at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research titled, "How to Keep 100,000 Girlfriends, the Careful Relationship of a Beekeeper and Her Honey Bees." She graduated with honors, and as a University Scholar from UM's College of Forestry and Conservation with a degree in Resource Conservation, focused on collaborative policy. Sarah returned home to Southern Oregon late 2010. She found a niche combining her love of bees with her education, outreach, research, conservation, and non-profit experience to encourage and support beekeepers and bee lovers through her nonprofit organization, Bee Girl. Sarah is the US Ambassador of the BEEWORLD project, the Kids and Bees Director for the American Beekeeping Federation, a 2014 Oregon State Delegate to the American Beekeeping Federation, a mentor in the Oregon State Master Beekeepers Program, the Regional Representative for the Southern Oregon Beekeepers Association, mentor and coordinator of the Southern Oregon University Beekeeping Club and apiary, the Oregon Outreach Coordinator for the Bee Friendly Farming Initiative, and a 2012 graduate of the Ford Institute Leadership Program. When she is not tirelessly working with bees, beekeepers, kids, farmers, land managers, and policy makers, Sarah heads for the hills with a camera, large backpack, fishing rod, bike or snowboard, and her best friend, Sophie the Yellow Dog.

Who is the Legacy Foundation? Legacy Foundation is a non-profit (501c3) organization established in 1999. Legacy Foundation’s mission is to promote sustainable human development and preserve our environment through the integration of technology innovation, media, and management. Working in cooperation with over 60 NGO groups worldwide, LF supports development and extension of low cost biomass briquette-making technology for small-scale entrepreneurs and community groups. The organization’s primary focus is to support local groups, especially women’s groups, to become totally self sufficient in the briquette production activities – increasing income while saving time and labour. In the same context, briquette production conserves the environment through less dependence on fuel wood for cooking and/or heating. LF is currently working with current, active associate briquette projects in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Ethiopia, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Haiti, Nepal, Cambodia, China, Mexico, India, Iraq, Slovenia, Hungary, Fiji, Nepal and most recently in Guatemala providing comprehensive training, online technical assistance, encouragement and networking connections. LF considers its greatest accomplishment to include: a. the development of regional networks of briquetters while providing timely and thorough technical assistance to all on-line requests. b. the self-reliant development of training capacity by those LF has trained. c. the support for social entrepreneurs who increase their income through briquette production LF’s key focus is on the development of self sustaining, self reliant, income producing small businesses of briquette producers and trainers. In order to accomplish these goals, Legacy Foundation provides several services: a. Manuals: Legacy Foundation Training Manuals provide comprehensive technical guidelines which allow the user to start and develop a complete biomass briquette project. The manuals include all of the technologies required to make briquettes as well as theory and applications for the biomass briquette technology. b. Training: Legacy Foundation has trained producers and trainers all over the world and now is networked with many groups of qualified briquette trainers. For example, Legacy Foundation trained a group of producers in East Africa in 2007, and then after they had some experience in the production and selling of briquettes, Legacy Foundation returned in 2009 to train these producers as trainers. There is now an extensive network of trainers in East Africa so that when Legacy Foundation receives requests for training in that part of the world, we are able to refer these requests to trainers in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. c. This training has led to the development of a wide network of briquetters, with each new group joining and adding to the growing knowledge base about biomass briquettes. From a small project in Malawi in 1994 there are now active briquetters in over 40 countries worldwide, all taking small steps to save the environment while improving their own livelihoods. Media / Communication In order to create mass awareness for environmental problems and demonstrate solutions, LF relies heavily on media promotion through photography, film, videos, multimedia, and the Internet. We believe that only when people are fully aware of the scope of a problem, are they able to participate in creating solutions. LF partners with Peter Stanley to do the photography for the projects, allowing for sensitive and thorough documentation of the process. Visite www.photopoa.com and especially the short photo essay about the trainers in Lushoto www.photopoa.com/ecofuel. Mike Stanley Productions, a multi- faceted production facility, provides film and video support to the Legacy Foundation media projects. The principals of MSP and LF have created over 15 environmental and community awareness videos for such clients as the United Nations, Red Cross, USAID and the European Union. Visit www.mikestanleyproductions.com for a complete list of credits and services. LF has a five-person board, two of whom provide full time support to the organization. Part time staff are hired as required by a project; Though not directly connected to LF, we would consider our more than 25 associate indigenous briquette making groups world wide to be LF partners (estimated at more than 500 members and growing daily! ).
Together, adults and youth create community of mutual support, respect, and understanding.
CREATING A CULTURE OF PEACE IN ASHLAND “My experience and research have convinced me that the world is on the verge of the greatest change in human history: The transition from the culture of war that we have had for tens of thousands of years to a new culture,” and that new development, states UNESCO Director David Adams, “is a culture of peace.” Inspired by the 1997 United Nation’s Culture of Peace resolution that called for a transformation from a culture of war and violence to a culture of peace and aligned with Margaret Mead’s notion that it’s only been small groups of thoughtful committed citizens that have changed the world, a group of 8 inspired local thinkers collaborated for two years before bringing forth a Culture of Peace Proclamation to the Ashland City Council in March of 2015.. The Proclamation was unanimously adopted and an independent, community and citizen-based Ashland Culture of Peace Commission was created. Commission members were chosen to represent many aspects of Ashland’s culture: Education, Business, The Arts, Science, Environment, Religion, Law and Habitat. An active community support group was also formed. On September 21, 2015, the UN International Day of Peace, the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission was launched in a community-wide celebration. The Commission and the community support group’s first actions have been to define the Ashland Culture of Peace as a community-wide movement dedicated to transforming our attitudes, behaviors, and institutions into ones that foster harmonious relationships with each other and the natural world. Initial focus areas being developed are: 1, The Peace Ambassador Program—Bringing trained volunteers to be a positive presence in our community and on our streets, engaging in person-to-person dialogues and arranging peace forums on topics important to our community. 2. Peace Education—Offering exciting, skill-based, and peace-focused learning experiences to schools in the Ashland School District. 3. Community Resource Directory—Identifying, listing, and dialoguing with organizations and people in our community who are already contributing or want to contribute to a culture of peace for Ashland. 4. World Peace Flame Monument—Establishing the venue and financial support for Ashland to be the 12th site in the world for the World Peace Flame; a symbol of peace, unity, freedom and celebration which will draw visitors from around the world. 5. State of the Culture of Peace in Ashland Report—An annual report that will be presented to the community and City Council to provide a view into how we are doing in co-creating a Culture of Peace in Ashland. Cities are the real societal structural level where a Culture of Peace can take root. The individual person is always the essential component for building peace through his or her daily choices, but it is the city that has the reach, authority, responsibility and influence to set the positive tone and direction for so many. When the City Council and Mayor adopted the Culture of Peace Commission they: “strongly encourage residents to work toward development of a Culture of Peace community, and pledge to lend appropriate encouragement and support to that effort.” With our unique approach, Ashland has the opportunity to become a model of this new culture for cities around the world. It is about shifting mindset and behavior in all aspects of our societies to embrace humanity’s interconnectedness as we move from force to reason, from conflict and violence to dialogue and peace-building. For sustained change there must be a larger context, a vision that inspires and unifies citizens to move forward. This vision has launched the Ashland Culture of Peace. This is the first of a regular series of articles by the ACPC on various aspects of creating a culture of peace, both here and elsewhere. Next time we’ll address the question, “What is a Culture of Peace?” Current commissioners include: Amy Blossom, Ben Morgen, Bert Etling, Bill Kauth, Catherine McKiblin, David Wick, Eric Sirotkin, Greeley Wells, Jack Gibbs, Jeff Golden, Joanne Lescher, Joe Charter, Norma Burton, Pam Marsh, Patricia Sempowich, Richard Schaeff, Tighe O'Meara, and Will Sears. The original developers included some of the current commissioners plus Elinor Berman, Irene Kai, and Kathleen Gamer.
