Kris I'm assuming from the condition of the plaque that the gentleman died in 1987...not 1887...in which case it must have been illegal to inter a body or the cremains. This really highlights why it is not a good idea to do this as property can change hands over a longer period of time. Are you going to ask the landlords about it? Maybe it is just a memorial because he loved his garden

I don't know Penny but we will be making discreet inquiries. It seems to be just a memorial based on the place it's in, and the fact it's on the side of the lane, edging on a very narrow raised garden bed behind the house. His wife lived here until she died 4 years ago.

You are so welcome I love the birthday card you made for Peter. It brings back memories of him saying someone (can't remember who it was) referred to him as "A DOPE ON A ROPE"

WCV UPDATE.....April 19 update Everything has been going well with Papa G’Ho and owlet #12-0317 — the two hang out together in the flight pen during the day, and the owlet is enclosed in a crate at night. Soon, the young Great Horned Owl will remain in the flight pen with Papa G’Ho all the time. Rehabilitator Suzy reports that Great Horned Owlet #12-0317 is making feeding calls at Papa, though since male Great Horned Owls typically do not play a role in feeding their young, Papa is not indulging the owlet’s request. In the meantime, the pair of owls have moved two doors down — to FP6. This makes them the newly-featured subjects on Critter Cam! ![]() Read more......... http://www.wildlifecenter.org/wp/2012/04/augusta-county-ghow-chick/ |

sorry for being MIA for a couple of days but we have some things on our plate that were totally unexpected gary was at a trade show all day but we're 99% sure that he will be laid off tomorrow ![]() totally out of the blue - the company laid off 10 people (some very qualified ones) on Wed and more today ----- no rhyme or reason to why or what they are doing so going to bed to try to get some rest and worry about tomorrow when it gets here |

Oh, no, Deb and Gary. I don't know what to say! Gary is certainly extremely well qualified and any company would be so fortunate to have him on their team. Thinking of you both.

Deb your news is very sad and shocking ![]() What a huge blow!!! Hard to believe so many are losing their jobs all at once. Maybe the company is having serious financial difficulties Is there a chance they will be re-hiring many back when things have stabilized for them again? Sending lots of Cruzer mojo Big to you and Gary.

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE April 19, 2012 Lily’s Popular Den ![]() Aspen and June - April 19, 2012 This morning we noticed our map of study bear GPS locations was missing a bear—June. We paged back in time and were surprised to find her last location was at 9:59 PM last night… at Lily and Faith’s den of this past winter. Could she have spent the night in the deep rock den that would have blocked GPS readings? We had to know. ![]() June and Aster exit Lily's den - April 19, 2012 Lynn headed for the den. June’s and Aster’s telemetry signals came from deep in the den but a flash picture of the spot Lily and Faith had spent the winter showed an empty bed. “It’s me, bear.” Aster’s head appeared from a side cave we didn’t know about. She climbed the 7 foot entrance wall and was out. June was next. Aspen is shyer and didn’t show himself. That side cave must be huge to hide 3 bears! We really need to drop into the den ourselves and explore it. ![]() June checks for danger - April 19, 2012 That mystery was solved. Tracks and photos proved that June and her yearlings spent the night in Lily and Faith’s den. But the story wasn’t over. ![]() Faith bit the top off this 15' red pine - April 19, 2012 By 10:32 AM, Lily and Faith had made a quick movement from the clover patch 0.38 mile up to the den. Was it because June was there? Was it a territorial confrontation? Sue headed to the area hoping to find out. She found June and her yearlings but no sign of Lily and Faith. Lily’s GPS locations showed they had moved 0.58 miles away. June and her yearlings all seemed relaxed and proceeded to rest, play, mark, and forage. If there had been a confrontation, it was over. Or was it? ![]() Faith's slow loping gait pattern - April 19, 2012 (numbers indicate the order each foot hit the ground) By the time Sue returned to the field station, Lily’s GPS location had moved back to the den area. June moved away to the southeast. Lily paralleled her from 0.07 mile away and then moved on a converging path. As we write this update the drama in the woods continues. Their locations have converged and separated several times. We would love to be able to observe them but we will settle for interpreting their GPS locations. Jewel and her cubs have moved back to the huge white pine they bedded at when they first moved from their den. Juliet and her cubs remain in the same area where they weathered the snow storm. Video footage of them in their snow bed is posted on YouTube. Thinking about all the volunteers. We would be nowhere without them. Volunteers are the key to expanded education about bears. We want to build a potential volunteer force to do many things—both online and on site. The Volunteer Application form is here. All it asks for is contact information, what you’re good at, and what you’re interested in. It doesn’t ask for personal information like social security number, driver’s license, date of birth, medical history, etc. Soon we will post a volunteer job description for someone with PowerPoint skills who can help us create presentations for the Bear Center. This is partly in response to the survey many of you contributed to some months back. We want the most hard-hitting, concise presentations possible in the time visitors are willing to sit and absorb. Presentations that will raise questions and bring people back to learn more. Thank you for all you do. —Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center |
