I was returned to RCHS on June 2 after a few weeks in an adoptive home where I was too much for a smaller dog who already lived there. Originally I was brought to RCHS on April 25 because my owner couldn’t afford me and my brother. In my home I was often busy protecting the children I lived with and my owner.

By Lou [email protected]

RUTLAND — It has been atough couple of years for a vari-ety of pine trees growing in Ver-mont. An infestation of Europeansawfly caterpillers have strippedseveral popular, imported orna-mental garden species includingMugo and Tanyosho pines. Nowthe state’s majestic native whitepine population is being threat-ened by a needle disease.

Barbara Burns, Vermont’s for-est health program manager, saidwhite pine tree needle damage isseen across the state.

“White pine tree needle dam-age is widespread in the stateagain this spring,” said Burns,“and although the damage isvery noticeable, it is not life-threatening to healthy trees.”

Topmost branches are rarelyaffected by the disease, accord-ing to Burns. Meanwhile, widespread yellowing of whitepine needles started during the spring of 2010.

“Trees will look better in early summer, once all the in-jured needles are shed,” she noted.

Burns and other experts from the Vermont Department ofForests, Parks, and Recre-ation and the U.S. ForestService have studied theproblem, and while linked tomicroscopic fungi, aren’tpanicing—yet.

“White pine needle dam-age can become a problem inthe year following a wetspring, which favors devel-opment of fungi,” addedIs-abel Munck, Forest Patholo-gist with the U.S. ForestService.

Jay Hayek of the Universi-ty of Illinois Illinois Depart-ment of Crop Sciences saidneedle cast is fairly commonin states east of the Missis-sippi River.

“It shouldn't be a cause foralarm assuming that you are

not witnessing significant mortality,” Hayek said. “Howev-er, if you are witnessing mortality, there may be several un-derlying causes: needle blights, insects, or root disease; andabiotic factors such as over-stocking, ozone injury, winter in-jury, high soil pH, and heavy clay soils.”

From the Editor

Losing technology“The loss of the ancient world's single great-

est archive of knowledge, the Library ofAlexandria, has been lamented for ages. Buthow and why it was lost is still a mystery. Themystery exists not for lack of suspects but froman excess of them.” - Preston Chesser

It’s surprising to think that much ofpast human knowledge is lost to us.What exists today is but a small por-

tion of ancient wisdom. The incrementaldecline of the Library of Alexandria, star-ing in 48 B.C. through 642 A.D., is oftencited as an example of how human knowl-edge can be lost to the ages. Now it lookslike our 21st century digital age is just asephemeral, if not more so.

The earliest indication of what we’vegotten ourselves into in the modern tech-nological age was a recent report by NASAconcerning lost lunar data gathered duringthe 1960s.

There was untapped Moon data collectedby Ranger and Lunar Orbiter spacecraft,and even the manned Apollo missions, thatcould have been “mined” by 21st centuryspace researchers—but the machines thatwere used to run NASA’s original magnetictelemetry tapes have been either scrappedor replacement parts don’t exist.

NASA officials admit that if paper back-ups weren’t made, it’s all gone with thewind.

A few music and home recording fansstill lament the demise of the home reel-to-reel tape machine which played such ex-quisite music from the late 1950s to the late1980s.

I still enjoy my collection of 4-track reelmusic tapes, as well as nostalgic home-made recordings of family gatherings frommy youth.

A few years ago, I replaced an old, reli-able circa 1972 Sony Tapecorder machinewith the purchase of a similar used deckthat was for sale on eBay. But even if re-placement parts for my old deck can becannibalized from other units, companiessuch as Sony, Teac, RCA or Ampex eitherhave moved on to other markets and tech-

nologies or have vanished as corporate en-tities entirely. I could locate only two reel-to-reel repair shops on the Internet andtheir services (and promises to refurbishold machines) were limited.

Everything from 1980s floppy disks to1990s Zip drives are largely useless todayand much material of interest to historianshas been lost ( some “retro” enthusiastsuse old Zips for gaming and sampling,etc.).

Recently, the Economist reported that“mistakes 30 years ago mean that much ofthe early digital age is already a closedbook (or no book at all) to historians.”

What of the fate of new, electronic onlybook editions?

Will e-books survive as technology ad-vances and makes reading some of themobsolete?

Also, what about e-mail communicationsbetween artists, world leaders, scientists,even every day folks, which could be a rich“mine” for future historical researchers?Without a paper trail, it’s unlikely e-mailrecords will survive the next 5-10-25 years,if that.

Ancient civilizations left a few traces forus to study in the form of stone tablets, pa-pyrus, and other document scrolls. And thegood nature of a few medieval Christianmonks who bothered to “backup” ancientdata on parchment and pass it alongshould be remembered.

I wonder if our civilization will leavemuch behind for future beachcombers?

Oh, perhaps some building rubble, junkcars, even middens of non-biodegradableplastic drink bottles, will endure, but whatof books and the visual and audio arts?Our current digital age has shown just howvulnerable our legacy could be.

Finally, a quote from the Economist putsthis discussion into stark perspective:

“Without a wider mandate for libraries,giving them the right to store both digitalmaterials and the tools to open it, histori-ans of the future will be unable to recon-struct our times.”

Lou Varricchio

When flying, I eat only a pre-flight banana until I arrive atmy destination many hours

later. During a layover in D.C., I was hungry

and broke my routine. At a passable looking airport eatery I

ordered a turkey, cheese, and lettucewrap, which arrived unbeknownst to me,soaked in a pool’s worth of oily, garlicky,dressing. Landing gear hydraulic oil per-haps? I unwrapped it, smelled it, andthrew it away. I hate most dressings.They taste and smell vile.

The problem with flying? Delays? Ter-rorism? Nope. Seeing oneself? Yes. Whatthe hell am I talking about?

In line at the urinal, at the gate, at thefood court, in the plane; look at that guy,he’s me, I’m him, he’s me in 3-D, not mejust as a reflection.

Through him I see my skin tone, myear hairs, my loss of muscle, my worn,un-youthful, strong hands. I see my agein other ’s my age, that normally I don’tsee, because I’m a homer, a companyman, blind to my own years and blemish-es. I’m used to me and think of and seemyself as youthful. But in airports, ob-serving someone my age talk, listen andmove, I reckon I’m not anyone speciallike I think I am. I am ordinary, like usall.

I requested aisle seats from my travelagent, bulkhead if possible. I’m 6’4”. Iboarded to find my seat, 10-C, taken. Toallow the passengers to stay boarding, Isat in 12-C, waiting for it’s passenger tocome and claim it, at which point I’d callto the attendant and see what was upwith 10-C. 12-Cs passenger came and Inotified the attendant my seat was occu-pied. She spoke with the gal in my seat,who gestured to the man sitting oppositeher in aisle seat 10-D, whose actual seatwas 12-B, a seat he’d vacated to be nextto his 65-year-old wife, and 6 year-oldgranddaughter. Seems his present seatwas the girl in my seats seat, which she’dhappily given to him so she could sit in10-C, next to her ma. Both ladies weredressed in silky robes, with their headscovered with silky scarves.

We each stated our case. The girl, herma, the man, his wife and granddaugh-

ter, and theattendant,seemed likeone big olehappy fami-ly. I on theother handstuck outlike a sorethumb,hunchedover in the aisle, a single friggin 51 year-old white male, whom for all the passen-gers knew could have been a rich, heart-less one percenter. “I paid extra for 10-C.I’m tall.”

Well, didn’t I give up my aisle seat forthe gal, who’d given up hers for the olderman (his wife wasn’t equipped to takecare of the grand kid on her own?) who’dcome from 12-B, my new seat and themiddle one of three seats, to sit near hiswife and grandkid? Crap. It’s a 4 and ahalf hour flight and I’m the cream be-tween to wafers. And the folks who’regetting what they wanted, didn’t evenask. They just did the ole “I’ll do what Iwant and see if anyone notices.” Sons abitches.

At the eleventh hour, a galfriend ofmine who hates to fly was going to comewith me to New Mexico.

Not being sure we’d be able to booktwo seats together was one of the reasonswe decided it would be best if she cameanother time when I could book twoseats next to each other in the first place.I’d noted we’d not want to rely on thekindness of someone to give up their seatso we could be together. I was the goodguy twice. But I’ll admit, I’m not sure ifall the passengers hadn’t been watchingand listening to the situation that Iwould have given up my seat. Probablywould have, but not sure.

Oh, also, two of my four flights weredelayed for a total of 4 hours. I’m notcomplaining, that’s just travel is all. Notlike I’m going to drive to New Mexico for$450.

Plan to address bacteria in Lewis,Little Otter, and Middlebury RiverBy Lou [email protected]

RUTLAND — For residents living along the Otter Creekin Rutland and Addison counties, as well as those along theMiddlebury RIver and several of its interconnected fresh-water systems, there has been a growing concern about theslow decline in water quality in the region related to in-creased bacteria.

Now the State of Vermont is about to take action thanksto a comprehensive known as the Otter Creek Basin (Basin3) Water Quality Management Plan.

Last week, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources an-nounced the approval of the Otter Creek Basin (Basin 3) wa-ter quality management plan. The plan provides anoverview of the health of the basin and a description of thepriority future and ongoing steps to restore and protect thequality of its surface waters, according to a news releaseabout the effort.

The management plan is indeed comprehensive, accord-ing to several citizen observers involved in public hearingsthat led up to the plan’s announcement. It also reflects near-ly a decade of work in the Otter Creek Basin to evaluate thehealth of the surface waters.

During a news announcement last week, Agency of Nat-ural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz singled out thework of planner Ethan Swift in completeing the action plan.

“I am proud of the work done by our basin planner EthanSwift. His excellent work with the communities in the Ot-ter Creek Basin has resulted in a plan that will allow Ver-mont to protect and improve the water quality in the areafor years to come,” Markowitz said.

Swift thanked the secretary and echoed her commentsabout the years spent developing the plan to reduce bacte-ria levels.

“This plan culminates years of combined efforts on be-half of not only ANR, but many important stakeholdergroups,” Swift said. “The cumulative actions already un-dertaken, or identified as priorities for ongoing work, re-flect the important contributions of many citizens and cit-izen-based organizations, municipalities, and regional,state, and federal organizations.”

According to Swift, “The central component of the waterquality management plan is the implementation table,which includes specific actions to address threats to surface

waters in the basin. Examples of some of the priority ac-tions in the plan include implementing steps to addressbacteria in the Lewis and Little Otter Creeks and Middle-bury River; initiating or finalizing the mapping ofstormwater systems and detection of illicit discharges inseveral municipalities; working with towns to apply forBetter Backroad grants and to include protections for flu-vial erosion hazard zones and buffer zones in local zoning;and making contacts with farmers to promote agriculturalprograms that address water resource concerns.”

Neil Kamman, program manager for the Monitoring As-sessment and Planning Program, said “This is the last offour plans the Agency will issue this spring, all of which re-flect a transition to the new Tactical Basin Planning Process.In the coming weeks, citizens and organizations in most re-gions of Vermont will have opportunities to engage in thetactical planning process by working with our planners todevelop new plans, and by implementing the recommenda-tions of the newly released plans. The Agency will be in-creasingly reliant on tactical basin plans to direct fundingto the highest priority work that addresses stressors to oursurface waters.”

The draft plan was released for public comment in March.The final plan with public comments is available online at:www.vtwaterquality.org. You can also ask for a printedcopy of the plan by calling 786-2503 or e-mailing EthanSwift at [email protected].

JAY PEAK — The Vermont Ski Areas Association an-nounced at its annual meeting at Jay Peak Resort that Vermontski resorts recorded 3,903,171 skier and rider visits, just 5%off of the ten-year average.

Once again, Vermont proved to be a bright spot in theNortheast and compared favorably to other regions in thecountry where the overall national skier visit tally was down16 percent.

Despite low natural snowfall during the 2011-12 ski season,state-of-the art snowmaking and grooming enabled Vermontski areas to have significant amounts of open terrain, oftenunmatched in percentage by any other ski state.

“The 2011-12 season stands as a testament to the resiliencyof our ski areas and showcased the unrivaled prowess of ourindustry’s snowmaking and grooming capabilities,” saidVSAA president Parker Riehle.

ANs. 1 TRUE: IN 1977 IT HAD 22 BOTTLING PLANTS THERE AT THE TIME ANs. 2 JEFFERSON DAVIS THOMAS ‘STONEWALL’ JACKSON

PUZZLE PAGE • PUZZLE PAGE • PUZZLE PAGE • PUZZLE PAGE • PUZZLE PAGE • PUZZLE PAGE • PUZZLE PAGE • PUZZLE PAGE

Bob Parkerfrom page 1

She was one in a litter of four little girls born to our daughter’s dog and was the smallestin the litter. My husband, Bob, decided she was the one for us."

The day after Snowflake’s birth on Oct. 3, 2007, Bob was hospitalized. The trip to the hos-pital turned out to be an 87-day-long stay.

"Our daughter brought Snowflake up in a little black purse to visit Bob many times duringhis stay," according to Bette. "He was in the ICU for 34 days and the pup visited him there, aswell as, when he progressed to other units. When Bob was on a ventilator, and didn’t respondto any of us, our daughter would put Snowflake near his face and on his chest. The puppywould smell and lay right next to him and sleep. This stimulated Bob and helped the pup tobond with him."

According to Bette, whenever Bob was hospitalized after his first stay in the Rutland hos-pital, Snowflake would look for him.

"She would, and still does, run to the car door hoping he would/will get out. She sits at thebathroom door waiting for him to come out," Bette said. "He has had 20 surgeries and hospi-tal stays since that initial 87 day visit."

Each time Snowflake is alone, she cries and looks for him, Bette added.During his long stay in the hospital Bob was worried that Snowflake would not bond with

him once he was brought home."The first time she was actually brought to our house was the day he was first discharged.

She was still so tiny. He was in a wheelchair for several weeks, then a walker, then on metalcrutches, then he used a cane. He was also worried that Snowflake would be afraid of him be-cause of all his equipment but through it all she seemed to remember lying with him in thehospital, as once home they managed to reestablish their bond immediately," she was happyto report. "We still have our little girl and she loves to play hide and seek with us."

The Parkers will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary Dec. 11. Little Snowflake willbe a big part of the couple's celebration.

"Our house would be so lonely without this lovable companion," Bette said. "So remember,you are never too old for a pet, especially one like our little Snowflake. We sure do love her."

Paramountfrom page 1
