Lynn is the publisher of Indiana Living Green magazine, a local Indiana-based publication focusing on all issues related to leading a sustainable lifestyle. Her knowledge, passion and unwavering dedication to this cause are both inspiring and admirable and are the reasons I nominate her for the Heart of Green Local Hero.
Lynn's interest in sustainable living has expanded over the years from simple recycling and wildlife gardening to encouraging others to appreciate nature and do what each can to protect the environment. The creation of Indiana Living Green comes from her belief that most individuals have an inner desire to do what is best for our environment and that each individual act truly does make a difference.
Lynn has been instrumental in bringing her green consciousness to Indiana by way of Indiana Living Green magazine over the past two years. Indiana Living Green is the only local publication solely focused on green living and sustainability. In addition, Lynn’s pioneering efforts also provide public educational forums via "Green Scenes" — a series of three hour events, each focusing on specific topics teaching Hoosiers how to lead greener lifestyles. She is a sought-after speaker, delivering topics such as "Greening Your Outdoor Space," "Updating Your Home to Green" and "Greening Your Lifestyle" to various businesses and organizations throughout Central Indiana. In addition, Lynn has appeared regularly on Indianapolis Fox 59 morning show’s "Living Green" segment, discussing various topics of interest ranging from grilling green and green baby buys to composting and recycling.
In addition to her role as publisher of Indiana Living Green magazine, Lynn is also a Habitat Steward Host for National Wildlife Federation, editor of Hoosier Organic Gardener, the newsletter of the Indiana Organic Gardeners Association, and a member of Garden Writers Association.

Cheerful Charlie was a very special boy. When he was still in his mother’s tummy, she had an accident, which meant that Charlie couldn’t walk. But that had never been a(n)          for him; they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his joyful and           nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.
There wasn’t a postman, or a taxi driver who wasn’t            to see Charlie. “Cheer up, Mr. Postman, that way you’ll         more letters today!” he would say, or “That was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You        that thing better than anyone else. ”
He also had great ideas and            for everything; and he shared them so generously that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or             something new, thanks to Charlie’s ideas.
One day, though, he came up against a real            . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks would always find some               to be sad: “I don’t have many sweets… my parents didn’t buy me that toy…” Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn’t going to be                , and he kept spending more time with Waterworks,           trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone             a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed       on Charlie’s head. He got such a fright that he couldn’t even move his lips. He was speechless, and although Waterworks was just about to cry,   he          Charlie’s happy words so much that he finally said, “Wow, Charlie, that’s a nice clown mask(小丑面具) you just put on!”
On saying those words, Waterworks felt so          that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie’s enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but see the funny side of everything.

When an NBA player is young, he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later ______ he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I” in “team”.
There is no better example of the value of ______ than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. ______, none of them had any titles(头衔) to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to play together, caring little ______ money and fame. Garnett and Allen ______ Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the best athletes in the world. They treat every second of every ______ as it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. Therefore, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their ______ effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and ______ defense(防卫). His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that _______. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost ______, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. ______, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to ______ their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don’t play know they can still affect the game by cheering, so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have ______ a strong relationship. They are ______ just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year. There is a saying that goes, “A successful team beats with one ______.” If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was     by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was     and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now      about lessons learned from that experience.
  One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You    jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母舰) Kitty Hawk . You were      !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
  "I      your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped(倒吸一口气) in surprise and     .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It     did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night,thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him      the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything     , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a      ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels(深处)of the ship      working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the      of someone he didn't know.
  Plumb asks his      , "Who's packing your     ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it      the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down—he needed his      parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these      before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to     and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through      times.
