Vandecoevering in Navy
Navy Seaman Apprentice Michael J. Vandecoevering,
son of Evelyn Vandecoevering of Dundee and Lance
Vandecoevering of Lafayette, recently graduated from the
Asic Enlisted Submarine Course at the Naval Submarine
School in Groton, Conn.
During the six-week course, Vandecoevering learned
the basic theory, construction, and operation of nu-
clear-powered submarines. He also learned shipboard or-
ganization, damage control, and submarine safety and es-
cape proc, vxes.
Vandecoevering participated in hands-on training with
reality simulators, practicing fire fighting and flood control
on board a submarine. He also learned about a subma-
fine's basic hydraulic, water and air systems, and prac-
ticed escaping from a simulated sinking submarine.
Vandecoevefing is a 2001 graduate of McMinnville
High School and joined the Navy in March 2003.
Growth in
use highest since 1975
The number of books, CDs, videos and other library
materials checked out by Oregonians from public libraries
grew by 10.8 percent between 2001 and 2002, the highest
annual growth since 1975. In the past three years, annual
growth of check-outs from public libraries has averaged
9.7 percent.
"Our business has never been better," said State Li-
brarian Jim Scheppke. "Throughout our state you will
find new and renovated library facilities and greatly im-
proved library collections and computer technology. The
investment these communities have made in their libraries
is really paying off."
The latest statistics compiled by the State Library
for 2001-2002, show that Oregonians checked out over 42
million books and other materials from Oregon public li-
braries. That is more than twice the number of check-outs
just 13 years ago in 1989.
Oregon ranks second among all states in library
check-outs per capita, based on data for 2001. Only librar-
ies in Ohio check out more books per capita than do
Oregon libraries. Oregon libraries also rank 5th in library
visits per capital among the 50 states.
Butterflies need more
than flowers
By Vern Holm
Resource Conservationist, Yamhill SWCD
Many gardeners think that flowers are all the
butterflies need, but that isn't necessarily true. Before it
was a butterfly, the creature went through several stages
of development, so when we see butterflies we are only
seeing one stage of an insect's life.
Each stage's success depends on host plants.
Without these, butterflies lack food and hiding sources
needed to reproduce and thrive. Butterflies also need
sources for water, shelter, and nutrients that they cannot
always get from plants. Here are some things that
landowners can provide to encourage butterflies.
Caterpiller host plants: fennel, Queen Anne's
lace, vetch lupines, clover, milkweed, thistle, violets,
Tall grasses and hedges, willow, aspen, snowberry, rose
and spirea.
Hiding places for pupae (cocoons): Bushes, tall
grass or piles of leaves or sticks work well for many
species.
Nectar plants: elderberry, penstemon, black-
eyed Susan, milkweed, purple coneflower, daisies,
sunflowers, yarrow, lantana, bee balm, stonecrop,
goldenrod, asters, yarrow, spirea.
Moisture and minerals: You can provide
butterflies with moisture and nutrients they need by
scraping a small depression in the ground, and lining the
edges with pebbles, and adding some water each
morning. Let the puddle dry out so that mosquitoes don't
use it as a hatchery.
Sun and shelter: Butterflies do not do well in
the cold and shade, so establish your host and nectar
plants in a sunny sheltered environment.
Other than taking care of the butterflies in your
yard, the most important thing you can do for them is to
caution your friends and neighbors not to kill bugs
indiscriminately and that the ugly caterpillars they see in
the garden will someday turn into butterflies.
One of the best places to learn about the care and
feeding of butterflies and other beneficial insects is on the
Xerces Society web site at www.xerces.org.
