...subcultures, and Wig now travels far and wide to explain his methods. He has helped Puerto Rican youngsters in New York City to found the Fourth Street i, which records the street games, block news and recipes of the Lower East Side. He has encouraged Oglala Sioux children in Pine Ridge, S. Dak., to publish Hoyekiya (Sioux for "to find a voice"), which has printed stories on tribal culture, including the sun dance, herbal medicine and the tipsinna, an edible wild turnip...
Indeed she is-to a degree almost unheard of nowadays. Stevens, 65, descended from a long line of schooner fishermen, designed Kathi Anne II himself, although he had no training in naval architecture and never went beyond ninth grade. From groves on his own farm he cut white pine for her planking, black spruce for her spars, oak for her ribs. He poured the lead for her keel in two old iron bathtubs. One of his brothers made her trapezoidal, gaff-headed sails (no newfangled spinnakers for Kathi A nne). A brother-in-law made her goosenecks, blocks and deadeyes...
...shift was partly brought about by the mountain pine beetle, which is destroying lodgepole pines in unprecedented numbers in the Wyoming-Idaho-Montana area that includes Yellowstone National Park (now celebrating its 100th year), Grand Teton National Park, Teton National Forest and Targhee National Forest. In Targhee, the Forest Service waged a $9,000,000, six-year battle against the pest-and lost. Chemical sprays did kill the beetles, but at an estimated cost of $4 per tree the battle became uneconomical. In a forest that once contained 3 billion board feet of timber, only half now remains; the value...
...Grand Teton, the Park Service plans a highly visible burn near Jackson Hole, Wyo., to test public reaction and begin the re-education process. Says Grand Teton Research Biologist Lloyd Loope: "We haven't so much an epidemic of mountain pine beetles as of overmature lodgepole pines." He warns that if the policy of putting out all fires is continued, there will be periodic insect infestations, like the endemic pine beetle problem, as well as a decrease in the diversity of p.ants, animals and birds. Loope believes that allowing natural fires to burn...
Another minor inaccuracy (I say minor because it has nothing to do with the food but nevertheless shows how bad the reporting was) was the description of the dining rooms. They are not oaken as stated. One is dark stained pine planks, one is painted and one is papered. As to the reference to the "Dubuffet reporductions on the walls," that is just plain laughable in its ignorance. The artist's name happens to be Bernard Buffet, he enjoys some small amount of fame, and the one Buffet we have is an original. It seems the eyes that mistakenly reported...
