SUMMARY:Newton Conservators Award Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, Newton Conservators present awards at its Annua
 l Dinner Meeting\, typically held in May.   Unfortunately\, Covid has st
 ymied our attempts to present these awards in person – we have had to re
 schedule the in-person dinner four times already (May 2020\, October 2020\
 , May 2021\, October 2021).  We announced these awards last October at ou
 r virtual Annual Meeting on Zoom.  Rather than wait until next year to pr
 esent these awards\, we have scheduled an outdoor presentation ceremony at
  City Hall on Monday\, September 27 at 3 pm.  Somewhat appropriately\, t
 his is also Rachel Carson Day.\n\nThe event will take place in the vicini
 ty of the new Pollinator Garden installed last spring in conjunction with 
 the Pollinator Working Group and support of the Conservators.  The Pollin
 ator Garden is to the left of the main City Hall entrance steps toward Hom
 er Street. In case of rain\, the ceremony will be moved into the City Hall
  Lobby.  If you attend\, please bring a mask since they are required insi
 de City Hall.  Parking should be available along the street\, along the d
 rive between Comm Ave and Homer Street\, or the Library parking lot.\n\nDi
 rectors’ Awards will be presented to recent city retirees Bob DeRubeis\,
  Alice Ingerson\, and Ouida Young for their open space efforts as part of 
 the Parks Recreation and Culture Department\, the Community Preservation P
 rogram\, and the Law Department respectively.  Alan Nogee will be present
 ed with the Charles Maynard Award for his efforts in founding Friends of C
 old Spring Park and much great work there.  And (drum roll please) our En
 vironmentalists of the Year Award will go to the “Webster Woods Team”\
 , both city personnel\, citizen volunteers\, and members of the Friends of
  Webster Woods and Newton Conservators who managed to “Save Webster Wood
 s.”  These included:  Rory Altman\, Councilor Lisle Baker\, Peter Barr
 er\, Suzanne Berne\, Dan Brody\, Kathy Cade\, Suzanne Carleo\, Mayor Rutha
 nne Fuller\, Alissa Giuliani\, Jeff Goldman\, Barney Heath\, Ken Kimmel\, 
 Rebecca Mayne\, Eric Olson\, Richard Primack\, Steve Small\, Jennifer Stee
 l\, Beth Wilkinson\, Jonanthan Yeo\, and Ouida Young.  This article from 
 our Newton Conservators Winter 2021 newsletter provides more  background
  on the awards and recipients.\n       \nEnvironmentalist of the Year:
