...meant to flow at Ruggles yet. The decision was overturned on a technicality. A Massachusetts appeals court ruled that the restaurant should have appealed the latest Cambridge denial to the ABCC before it took its plight to the courts. So Ruggles had to start all over again...
...stream doctor's task involves more than dredging muck. Surgery for a silty waterway can mean adding rocks, moving boulders or placing trees in strategic places to shelter trout. It often requires rechanneling a creek to increase its flow so that water will once again ripple over rocks to provide enough oxygen. At Boise's River Run development, McIntyre dug pools and meandering bends into an existing brook and added rocks and Douglas fir logs to the riverbank.

Unfortunately, the strategy failed to work. But by week's end Drummond had a human heart and was in critical but stable condition...
