Soldiers of the St Paul-based 34th Combat Aviation Brigade volunteered two days of their annual training period to help the developmentally disabled children at Brainerd's Confidence Learning Center June 14-15. The Soldiers helped raise funds for the CLC by splitting and stacking 10 cords of firewood which will be sold for around $1,500. The Soldiers also played games and attended classes with the campers. Pfc. Miranda Matz heats up U.S. Army rations to the delight of the campers.

Perhaps the most powerful aspect of our collective future is our youth. The young people in this painting were part of the forestry class at Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury in 2009. From left to right they are Amber Blodgette, Patrick McCarthy, Anthony Porter, Aaron Paquette and teacher John Bradley. These students are avid outdoors people with their own innate and learned skills. They are aware that the forest is as much the spaces between the trees as it is the trees themselves.
Tom Bachand’s saw sits in the foreground of this painting. He says “I’m an avid hunter. I enjoy being in the woods. I have since I was little. That’s why I joined Forestry, because I don’t like being in a classroom a lot, so we’re outside most the time. It’s what I like doing. I’m actually joining the marines and when I come out I would actually like to join my uncle’s logging operation. He only does selective cutting.”
Patrick McCarthy: “One of the main parts is I knew they did heavy equipment operation and I’ve always wanted to do that, but I didn’t really have a way to practice that or try it so I joined this program to operate heavy equipment. It’s been good. One main part that I like the most is being outside most the day and it’s more of a real job so it gets you prepared for the work world.”
“One of the most interesting things I’ve learned is pretty much most of the aspects of sugaring. That was pretty new. First time I saw an arch I didn’t know what all this stuff was…I learned a lot with that. Just being outdoors. The fresh air. My own future I would want my own land to have my own sugarbush, so just a lot of land with lots of maple trees and maybe have a firewood business. Operating heavy equipment, just having sugaring on the side like some people do.”
Aaron Paquette: “My dad and his brother they used to go out all the time and his brother almost cut his leg off. My dad just ended up staying away from it. And I’ve always wanted to get into it but he’s never had anything available for me to start. I started going out with my uncle and I enjoyed it a lot just cutting trees for his firewood and making a little side money, so, that’s why I got into the program.”
“In this program I mean there’s just so much freedom, the teachers are awesome, they really letcha get out and do the work. You definitely get to know the chainsaw and get to know the tree. I like to use the chainsaw. It feels good in the hands. Just being out in the woods. I mean I love to hunt, I love to fish. I’m an outdoorsman.”
“I hope that a lot of forests stay around. I just want to see it all kept pretty well, but still something everyone can make money off from. Sustainable harvest.”
“I like logging and I want to use it as just a side operation. I’m trying to get into something in landscaping for a couple years which will also include using a chainsaw, and later I’d like to go to school to be a landscape architect. I just hope that it stays around and there will always be that option for the younger people.”
Stephen Volk: “…my uncle’s a logger. I’ve helped him out a bunch of times and I wanted to get to know more about it and learn the safe way of doing things. Best thing I’ve learned is how to sharpen a chainsaw the right way. I want to become a diesel mechanic for forestry equipment. I just want to get into diesel.”
“I hope it gets logged, but I hope it gets managed right. That it doesn’t get clear cut. I mean, that’s a big part of Vermont, forests and mountains. It should be more strict than what it is. You gotta think about wildlife and their habitat. I like hunting, logging, just nature. I like the sugar maple…that’d be my favorite tree.”
Currently the average age of a Vermont logger is between fifty and sixty years. If we expect to have people to work in our forest in the coming years, what do we need to do to make this a livable profession for young people who really want to do this work?

A cartoon drawn by Dave Morrison, Cabell Library's building manager, humorously explains the purpose of the group study room "campfire" table. The "campfire" table is designed to provide an experience similar to sharing ideas visually on a napkin while brainstorming.
Our Active Learning Classroom (ALC) is designed to support interactive and technology enhanced learning. It serves as an incubation space where faculty can implement and assess new teaching and learning ideas.
The classroom is capable of numerous configurations; with computer stations at each table and multiple wall-mounted screens. The purpose of the ALC is to offer active, engaged teaching and learning experiences in a collaborative environment.

Schematics showing how symbolic AI and deep neural networks, the two main branches of artificial intelligence, operate. The third panel shows how the two combine to create a hybrid known as neurosymbolic AI.
A hybrid approach, known as neurosymbolic AI, combines features of the two main AI strategies. In symbolic AI (upper left), humans must supply a “knowledge base” that the AI uses to answer questions. Deep nets (upper right) are trained to arrive at correct answers. During training, they adjust the strength of the connections between layers of nodes. The hybrid uses deep nets, instead of humans, to generate only those portions of the knowledge base that it needs to answer a given question.

The unlikely marriage of two major artificial intelligence approaches has given rise to a new hybrid called neurosymbolic AI. It’s taking baby steps toward reasoning like humans and might one day take the wheel in self-driving cars.
