EarthTalk: Are national parks' attempts to tame overcrowding working?
Dear EarthTalk: Are some of the newfangled entrance restriction tactics to reduce overcrowding at U.S. national parks having the desired effect? The U.S. has seen this newfound appreciation in the form of a high influx in visitors to national parks across the country. In 2022, two of the busiest national parks — Yellowstone and Yosemite — began to require reservations for entry for the first time in the history of the National Park Service (NPS). To wit, some 312 million trips were made to national parks in the last year, with 12 parks breaking previous attendance numbers. Making matters worse is that national parks weren’t initially developed to accommodate massive crowds.

Grand Canyon National Park ends mandatory water restrictions
Grand Canyon National Park dropped mandatory water restrictions Monday. On September 5, park managers implemented mandatory water restrictions for the South Rim when water levels fell below an acceptable level due to a failure in the system. Water utilities crews immediately began working to address the problem, and were able to get the water flowing again within a few days, park officials said. However, until water storage levels were adequate, park managers did not feel comfortable lifting restrictions. Although restrictions have been lifted, Grand Canyon National Park staff reminded residents and visitors that water is precious in the desert, and they should always be conscientious of how much water is used and for what.

Germany unveils new Ukraine package before key talks
FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept 19, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Germany will give another 400 million euros ($428 million) of weapons and aid to Ukraine as it fights back against Russia, Berlin said Monday, ahead of key talks among Kyiv's allies. "We are supplying additional ammunition," Defence Minister Boris Pistorius told top German tabloid Bild, a day before the talks at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Pistorius added he would have to skip the Ramstein talks himself after contracting the coronavirus. After the Russian invasion, Germany dropped a traditionally pacifist stance to funnel weapons to Ukraine, and has become Kyiv's second biggest supplier of arms. In July, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany will have supplied Ukraine with around 17 billion euros in military assistance by 2027.

Joyce Maynard’s Remarkable Resilience
Since then, Joyce Maynard has been a journalist at The New York Times and a nationally syndicated columnist. After Maynard’s New York Times Magazine article came out, she received a letter from Salinger, and they quickly began corresponding. In a scathing op-ed, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd accused her of using a powerful man to advance her career. Why are you quitting your internship at The New York Times to go live with him? Because of her eight months with Salinger, Maynard will always be associated with him, and this strikes me as incredibly unfair.
