Boys’ prep track: Woods Cross junior Dopp does things his own way	18.4.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Eric Butler Special To The Tribune Published Apr 17, 2013 03:16PM MDT Woods Cross junior Cam Dopp enjoys restoring shells of old cars he retrieves from junkyards and turning them into sharp-looking workable pieces of machinery. What makes Dopp really different is his willingness to drive one of these restorations amongst a peer group not generally known for readily approving of something different. But Dopp does use his 1975 VW Super Beetle with candy-apple red with white trim to get to school. “I got a little bit of grief about it,” said Dopp, who learned the art... ...

Northeast drilling boom threatens forest wildlife	3.4.2013	azcentral.com \| business
PITTSBURGH -- Hawks swoop in and gobble up songbirds. Raccoons feast on nests of eggs they never could have reached before. Salamanders and wildflowers fade away, crowded out by invasive plants that are altering the soil they need to thrive.
