At an elevation above 8,000 feet, Aspen Ruggerfest is taking the sport of rugby to new heights.This four-day tournament attracts athletes of all ages and genders, with players looking to show off their skills against some of the best competition in the country.“There’s a lot of US players still out here in Ruggerfest,” said Alec Parker.Parker is an Aspen legend. He’s played for his hometown team, the Gentlemen of Aspen Rugby Football Club, and represented the United States in four Rugby World Cups.Now, retired from rugby, Parker says playing in the Aspen Ruggerfest is equally as important as playing internationally.“I love this weekend. It’s the best,” Parker said of Aspen Ruggerfest. “Best weekend of the year for sure.”Now in it’s 52nd year, Aspen Ruggerfest continues to grow by attracting athletes from across the country and across the world.“The sport is fun as hell,” said former Aspen RFC coach Freddie Waititi.Waititi says rugby is the fastest growing team sport in the country, and the numbers support it. In 2014, the Sports and Fitness Industry Association reported a 350 percent growth in participation over a five-year period.“It’s fun watching the young guys that we coach being able to pick up the things that we are trying to pass on to them and actually use them,” Waititi said.Despite more people now playing their favorite sport, the Aspen team is mourning the loss of one of its own.“It’s quite a weird one this year,” said one an Aspen player. “We’re missing one very important person that’s been a part of Aspen rugby for longer than I can even remember.” On the night before the Gents first match, the team held a team dinner and dedicated it Jerry Hatem, a former Aspen player-coach, who lost his life in a snowmobile accident this summer.“(Jerry) would be sitting here having a beer after lining the field for the whole day with bruises blood all over his face,” the Aspen player said. “He just loves rugby and is a great guy.”This a game that transcends athletics, with players saying their teams are more like their families. And when the Aspen Gents took the pitch, Hatem’s family was watching from the sidelines, saying jerry would be proud.“(Jerry’s) saying it by what we’re witnessing here,” said Mike Hatem, Jerry’s brother. “This whole community just comes together.” Because whether rookie or old boy, local or import, rugby culture is all about camaraderie, and Aspen Ruggerfest embodies that, at a higher level. 2470

BAKERSFIELD, Cali. — A California native is learning that her family tree is a lot larger than she had ever thought after growing up as an only child. Forty-one years late, she found that she has 22 half brothers and sisters that she never knew about.Jennifer Slayton said that she took a 23andme DNA test four months ago and was contacted by one of her half brothers in January. She was then introduced to her 21 other half-siblings shortly after.Slayton said there could be more siblings out there, but she's grateful to have the ones she has.She said that she first learned she was donor conceived at the age of 17. Slayton said that her father was diagnosed with a very serious form of dementia that was hereditary and this caused her to be worried that she would inherit it. That's when her mother informed her that he was not biologically her father.She said that technology limitations at the time kept her from finding her father, but in 2018 her husband wanted to try out the DNA kit for fun.After the results came back, one of her half brothers, Evan, contacted her. She asked how many of them there were and he told Slayton that she was number 21. "They're amazing, like I went and met them for the first time and I was really nervous and I walked in and it was like meeting versions of myself," Slayton said. "Like all of these people have so much in common with me and they are nice, obviously, and they are friendly and we have a lot of the same interests and the same mannerisms, we all talk with our hands a lot."Slayton has since started making new memories with her half siblings and has met her donor. She said that she has several family get-togethers planned and they are all waiting to see if more matches pop up. 1748

BAR HARBOR, Maine - Towns spotted along the coast in Maine are commonly known for two things -- lobster and whale watching. But scientists have noticed changing climate patterns over the past decade, and it’s causing changing patterns with different sea life.“The Gulf of Maine has historically been known as an important place for whales,” Allied Whale Marine Director Sean Todd said. “That has sort of changed because of climate, and the Gulf of Maine is slowly shifting in a way that is perhaps less attractive to the whales.”“What’s really emerged in the last decade or so is that this ecosystem is going through some really dramatic changes,” Dr. Andrew Pershing with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute said.Bar Harbor, Maine, is a town filled with restaurants and shops, A lot of what you see caters to tourists who frequent the town in the summer months.“Bar Harbor is a really fun town,” Zack Klyver, a former whale watch tour guide with over 30 years of experience, said. “It is full of magnificent life.”“I like to think of it as the place all the hippies went when they grew up,” Todd said.Fall marks the end of the tourism season, and many places close up shop for the winter.“A vast majority of jobs in bar harbor are due to the tourist industry,” Jeff Dobbs, a local documentary filmmaker and operator of the Acadia Channel.“If you come to Bar Harbor, there are three things you can do,” Todd said. “The first thing is you can visit Acadia National Park.” Todd goes on to explain the other two things you can do are eat lobster or go on a whale watch.“We carry about 50,000 to 60,000 people whale watching each summer,” Zack Klyver said. He works in part with Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company.The people are super excited when they see whales,” he said. “In recent years things have changed and we’ve had to go a lot farther to see whales.”Three-hour tours have become five-hour tours, to allow extra time to travel farther to find where the whales are. Klyver said they had a record July this year with the number of passengers they saw, but it was in part due to good weather conditions.“Our sightings have gone down in the last couple years,” Klyver explained.While whale watch trips look for all types of whales, these were the stats Klyver shared with Finback whale sightings:2000 - 160 trips with at least one Finback whale sighting2010 - 155 trips with at least one Finback whale sighting2017 - 5 trips with at least one Finback whale sightingThose numbers have since improved.“In past years we looked at our sighting success rate and we were often at 80 to 90 percent success in seeing whales,” Klyver said.“This was a very difficult year for us. It’s getting hard to study these animals because they’re just not around,” Todd said. “It used to be that whales were very predictable here in the Gulf of Maine.”Todd explained he thinks the ocean is warming to a point it’s no longer an attractive place for whales to come and they are making other choices in terms of looking for food.One of the species choosing to stay north is the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.“The Right Whale population was recently estimated in 2017 at being about 411,” Klyver said. There are less than 100 viable, breeding females left.Meanwhile, Todd said the Gulf is seeing more warm water species, including more Mola Mola sunfish.“The Gulf of Maine is one of the most rapidly warming patches of saltwater anywhere on the planet,” Todd said.Doctor Andrew Pershing agrees -- and had the science to back it up.“Over the last 30 years or so, we have warmed at a rate that’s about four times the global ocean average,” Doctor Pershing said. “Really since about 2010 this ecosystem has been going through a remarkable transformation where every year it seems to get warmer and warmer.”He said all areas of the ocean are warming by .01 degrees Celsius a year, on average.“We’re losing some of our subarctic species that have really been the center of the food web at the Gulf of Maine,” he said. “The whales are having to adjust on the fly to figure that out, and that makes it harder for the companies that have set up shop in a particular area with the expectation they can go offshore and quickly find the whales.”“What’s happening with climate may be kind of abstract,” Zack Klyver explained. “A fire in California, or a melting glacier somewhere that they hear about but for us it’s real. We’re seeing it everyday on the ocean.”And just like the season, the Gulf of Maine is changing.“A lot of people plan their vacations completely around seeing whales, they’ll come from all over the world,” Klyver said.Klyver and Jeff Dobbs are working on a documentary about the Right Whale, in hopes of bringing more attention to the endangered animal.“The plight of the Right Whale hasn’t gotten any better,” Dobbs said. “Their status in the world is very important, people don’t realize how much they contribute to the global economy.”Fishing and shipping are two things that are detrimental to the whales, according to Todd. “I am deeply motivated to save these animals. Deeply motivated,” he said.“We really have to rethink how we make decisions about natural resources how we make decisions about our businesses, we really have to look towards our future,” Doctor Pershing said. 5289
