Sharon Kleyne Hour

Dr. Kinoti Meme, Ph.D. (San Luis Obispo, CA), Director of Education and Training for Lifewater International, a nonprofit Christian humanitarian organization specializing in water and sanitation development in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, discusses how water is the foundation for life, growth and human development, yet 1.1 billion people lack access to safe water, and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. For additional information, please visit www.lifewater.org. Second guest, Art Bernstein (Gold Hill, OR), naturalist and author, discusses ouzels, owls, eagles and kingfishers. The ouzel is North America’s only aquatic songbird with short wings and tail, a fairly short and straight beak and slate grey in color. Owls are mainly nocturnal birds of prey, with large, round heads and huge, forward-facing eyes. Unlike the chunky, small spike-headed kingfishers, eagles are differentiated from other birds mainly by their larger size, more powerful build and heavier head and bill.
