Pyramid Resource Group Marks Five Year Success of Cary’s Honor a Teacher Program

Cary, N.C. – Cary residents DJ and Barry Mitsch are the masterminds behind two successful initiatives in Cary: The Pyramid Resource Group, Inc., a globally recognized executive coaching firm headquartered in Cary, and Honor a Teacher Program, which is in its fifth year running and recognizes public school teachers in the community.

The Cary Chamber of Commerce recently sponsored the 5th Annual Honor a Teacher Program at the Koko Booth Amphitheatre. This year, 22 Western Wake County Public School teachers were honored with $1,000 awards and trophies from sponsoring businesses.

“Teachers have the most difficult yet most important job in our community,†said Barry Mitsch, who currently sits as vice president of The Pyramid Resource Group and is a father of two children. “We hope this recognition can help inspire our best teachers to stay in the profession.â€

The first teaching award in Cary was the Discovery Award, established in the 1990’s by business leaders Ralph and Daphne Ashworth. Inspired by the Ashworths, the Mitschs created the Clara Knoll Teaching Award in 2000 to honor Barry’s grandmother who taught for over 40 years in New Jersey. Clara passed away in 2005 at the age of 106.

The Honor a Teacher Program was established to encourage other area businesses to recognize public school teachers. As of this year, $112,000 has been awarded by businesses such as Progress Energy, SAS, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Time Warner Cable, KB Homes, and AT&T. The awards ceremony has become a premier event on the Cary Chamber calendar and this year over 400 people were in attendance.

So I have a blue lobster and....?

Ok, so I have had this blue lobster for about a week now. He's already molted and did just fine. I have a filter and he's in a 10 gallon tank. I also have a mineral pyramid that dissolves weekly. I went to the pet store and they suggested a vacuum to clean the bottom, also an algae cleaner and a pH tester. So I have all that! It just seems a bit much for 1 lobster. Is there anything that I didn't really need? Or anything that I DO need that I don't have??

The Blue Lobster are brilliant blue, which intensifies as the crayfish matures. Because of their selective breeding, they will not loose their coloration, except in times of stress. They stay relatively small in the aquarium, only attaining a total length of 7 inches.
Provide a freshwater aquarium of at least 20 gallons with plenty of rocks, and a substrate with a moderate grain size or finer, for the Blue Lobster to burrow in. They are territorial towards their own kind, and a larger aquarium will be needed if housing more than one. Provide at least 20 gallons per Lobster and include plenty of cover including both rocks and plants.
They can not be trusted with any small fish or goldfish. Only keep them in tanks with larger fish such as cichlids, of course that would require an even larger tank.
These Lobsters are omnivorous, and will act as a scavenger in the aquarium, eating any food that comes to rest on the bottom. Supplement their diet with a quality sinking pellet, flake food and dried algae.
Water testers are always a good idea regardless of the aquatic pet you have to make sure the living conditions are safe.
The tank would have to be upgraded to hold other fish. You really couldn't add another fish to the 10 gallon as they would be small fish (tetras, platys, etc) and they would be fair game for the lobster.
I don't think the mineral pyramid is necessary, more it helps in aiding the lobster with calcium for rebuilding his shell after molting. Many crustaceans will eat at the old shell for the extra calcium, though. As well, lobsters are scavengers, and as such, you really shouldn't need an algae cleaner as long as you aren't overfeeding or putting the aquarium in an area with a lot of light.
