THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 2003 -- THR DAYTON TRIBUNE, DAYTON.t OR 97114 --- PAGE 3 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. Student on Dean's List Penelope Beckwith of Dayton was one of 700 students honored for their outstanding academic work by being named to the Dean's List for Spring 2003 at Pacific Lutheran University.
