Donald Stratton nearly made the ultimate sacrifice 79 years ago. Stratton was on board the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.According to the National Park Service, Stratton joined the Navy in 1940, and was assigned to the USS Arizona. On Dec. 7, 1941, Stratton was on the forward mast of the ship as it burned. A fellow sailor threw Stratton a line, which allowed Stratton to crawl to safety above the high water. But the flames took a toll on Stratton as burns covered 70% of his body. Stratton was then given a medical discharge the following September, but Stratton was not done serving his country. On Sunday, the U.S. National Park Service reported that Stratton has died at the age of 97, making him one of the last surviving service members from the Pearl Harbor attack. In Stratton's honor, the flags at the USS Arizona memorial in Hawaii were flown at half-staff. In January 1944, Stratton reenlisted and served through December 1946, obtaining the rank of Gunners Mate Second Class.The attack killed 2,390 service members, roughly half from the USS Arizona. Stratton had recently participated in a few remembrances of the 1941 attack, and was even invited into the Oval Office by President Donald Trump in 2017. He also wrote a 1280

Climate change is putting shellfish at risk as increases in carbon emissions and agricultural runoff are altering ocean ecosystems.Now oyster farmers are adapting before going extinct.“It’s not that they grow more slowly, it’s that they’re less likely to grow at all,” said Todd Van Herpe of Humboldt County Oyster Co.Van Herpe has been farming northern California’s Humboldt Bay for years. Now his livelihood is at risk after scientists say a change in ocean acidification is making it more difficult for oysters to form their shells and ultimately survive.“They’re like anything else; there’s strong one and a weaker one,” Van Herpe said of young oysters. To help protect his product, Van Herpe is getting seed grown in hatcheries. And in this multimillion-dollar industry, any increase in cost is ultimately passed on to you. “We’re going to have to charge our customers more,” Van Herpe said. At Humboldt Bay Provisions, workers are opening up about the change in the industry. “I’ve noticed it’s getting harder and harder to find the freshest oysters,” said one employee.Now this North Coast oyster restaurant is working with more oyster farmers to get this area’s most iconic seafood.“It’s really a source of pride for the people of Eureka and the people of Humboldt County that we have this right in our backyard,” the worker said. Back on the bay, ocean experts are tracking the change in weather conditions. Dr. Joe Tyburczy of California Sea Grant Extension says oysters are suffering because of an increase in carbon emissions and agricultural runoff, which could mean an end to this industry. “If we’re thinking about mass extinctions and radical changes in marine ecosystems this could drive fisheries collapses,” he said.To help keep more oysters alive oyster alive, oyster farmers like Hog Island Oyster Company is now farming oysters in controlled environments.“We’re doing a lot of research here with eel grass and how eel grass can help with manage the acidity of the water through photosynthesis and respiration and taking some of that carbon dioxide out of the air,” Hog Island Oyster Company scientist Juan Avellaneda, PhD said.Making genetic gains could help this seafood and this industry survive. 2232

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – A graduate student has named a newly discovered insect after Lady Gaga. Brendan Morris, who studies entomology at the University of Illinois, named the treehopper bug Kaikaia gaga, in honor of the flamboyant artist.
