good afternoon good evening wherever you
are in this world go on and smell the
flowers and cool the soup it is Friday
baby let's finish this week strong and
kick our weekend off right I'm Coy wire
this is CNN 10 with the latest in
political news the U.S presidential
election is coming up next year and
several days ago we covered the first
Republican presidential primary debate
and showed you the candidates that will
be competing to become the next
commander-in-chief while a new CNN poll
released yesterday shows how Americans
are feeling about the likely Democratic
nominee incumbent President Joe Biden
and the direction of the country right
now under current leadership CNN
political director David chalian
discussed it on CNN this morning
his approval rating is down at 39 61 of
Americans disapprove he's been hanging
at that low Point guys for quite some
time we talk about the mood of the
country uh 14 months out from from a
presidential election not that great
three in ten Americans that's it say
things are going well in the country
seven and ten take things are going
badly in the country and 58 of Americans
in this poll say that Joe Biden's
policies have actually worsened economic
conditions in the country only 24
percent say they've improved economic
conditions this is why we hear him
talking about biodynamics every day he's
out and about in the country uh David
the president is the oldest president in
history he was this morning he will be
tomorrow that's just the reality and
White House officials acknowledge that
don't love talking about it but have
long made the case that's not the kind
of pervasive issue for voters it's not
going to be the determining Factor what
is this whole show well it's certainly
on the mind of Voters we will we'll see
how important it becomes but it clearly
is is a major concern we asked
folksville do you think Are you
seriously concerned that Biden's age
might negatively affect his ability to
serve a full term three quarters of
Americans are indeed seriously concerned
three-quarters of Americans don't agree
on anything but there's concern there
you see it here too seriously concerned
about his current mental and physical
competence being negatively impacted by
his age and seriously concerned that his
understanding of the next generation's
concerns are impacted 68 say that and
that and the economy as we talked about
that is what is Behind These numbers why
Joe Biden is in a sort of dead heat
margin of error race with nearly every
Republican tested poppy noted that Nikki
Haley is the exception to that she's
running outside the margin of error but
look at this Trump margin of error race
no clear leader DeSantis Pence Scott
ramaswami Christie they are all with no
clear leader and I just want to know
guys one other thing that has going to
cause agita for the White House team is
this motivation Factor are you extremely
motivated to vote in next year's
presidential election look at this
Republicans and republican-leaning
independents have a 10-point advantage
over Democrats on that score
10 second trivia in golf finishing a
hole in three shots under pars called
what birdie eagle bogey or albatross
all of my Albatross bosses put your
hands up three under par for an
albatross it's extremely rare one under
par for birdie two for eagle
coming up next we've got a golf course
at four more than 50 years was perfectly
manicured nice and neat it was called
The Valley View Golf Club in Akron Ohio
but in 2015 it's shut down and today a
range of grasses and Native flowers are
driving a whole new course of action a
crew chipping away at a major project in
CNN's call to Earth
you see there's these large flowers down
there there's some white ones some pink
ones that's a native hibiscus
it's in the mallow family and the
Wetland ones they call them
marshmallows get it marshmallows yeah
my name is Mike Johnson I'm the chief of
conservation for Summit Metro Parks
we are at the Valley View area of
Cascade Valley Metro Park today you
would never know that this was ever a
golf course the vegetation that you see
behind me 90 of it is native whereas
when this was a golf course 90 percent
of it was non-native and invasive
this park is Right within the city of
Akron limits and when we started the
acquisition we realized how important it
was to connect the other two parks to
this area it allowed us to knit together
1800 Acres that is something that's very
difficult to do in a county where
everything is beginning to be built out
the first choice we had to make is do we
allow it to restore on its own just kind
of let it go or do we take a more active
role in that process and because this
was a golf course we decided it was
necessary to take a more active role we
had to undo the golf course before we
could restore the landscape The Next
Step was to establish a native cover of
vegetation and rather than plant trees
we decided to plant nuts and over the
course of a fall our volunteers brought
us a quarter million nuts and over the
course of two days 600 volunteers showed
up to plant 120 000 of them
this is the Cuyahoga River and we're
looking out over a vast restored flood
plain when we acquired the property the
banks of the river were steep they'd
been channelized the golf course they
wanted to keep the water out we wanted
to bring the water back into the
landscape
one of the biggest challenges of any
park district is preserving our natural
resources and also at the same time
letting people come in and enjoy them
what we knew we needed to do was one
more phase where we could bring access
to the river for the public so phase two
is under construction now
these parks and the wetlands and the
streams filter pollutants from the water
that we eventually drink they clean the
air they provide habitat for wildlife
including a large array of endangered
species we have here in Summit County
they're also important for people these
are places for people to come and relax
to de-stress they're important for
recreation and connecting with nature
for especially young people to connect
with nature and Inspire them to become
the next generation of land stewards

the endless game foundation in North
Kansas City just blew the roof off the
record books they went all out playing
in the longest baseball game ever
