Thoroughly honorable, I assure you sir. My plans for them are to use as illustration -- I'll soon be giving day-long seminars for building professionals on natural building (so far in Victoria and Portland). Mostly this will be a survey of how much engineering knowledge we have about earth, straw, hemp, bamboo, shipping containers, concrete rubble, etc, and how to use it. But there has to be a bit on integrative design, and I couldn't imagine a better single illustration than the stunning, come-from-behind victory of the Grrls of Peterborough. Collaboration trumps Machismo again!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If any of you want help training your local engineers, architects and building officials -- which is what the seminars are basically for -- then please give me a shout. I love this kind of stuff, coaxing minds open to the idea of building outside the fossil fuel mindset.<br>

I have some great pics, including the ones that graced the cover and story about the First Straw Bale Olympics in the December 2006 (#56) issue of The Last Straw. I will send jpegs.... what are your plans for them...? Just curious.<br>
<br>
And I echo the Birthday wishes for Laura Bartels! <br>

Anybody have any pictures of the olympics from the Canada International gathering a few years back? In particular, of that champion team of international women. Please send offline if you would.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And a big Happy Birthday to a member of that team, Laura Bartels! You going to defend your team title at the Colorado International? In fact, most of that team is on this list, so promise us you'll assemble again and show us how it's done!<br>
