Phoebes nesting on ledge Bette MacLeod of the Fourth Concession east in Huron township called on Sunday afternoon to report a pair of phoebes nesting on a ledge on her garden shed. Phoebes are fly catchers - they catch fly- ing insects (I guess) . They say their name "fee -be" in their song or call. The first syllable in the name phoebe is strong - "fee" compared to the end one "be". The phoebe nesting at Bette's shed is the Black Phoebe slightly larger and dif- ferent to the older species - the Eastern Phoebe. Other common fly catching types of birds are swallows, kingbirds, peewees, chimney swifts, and in cities like London the Nighthawks where they find the flat gravel roofs suited to their nesting habits. Tree nursery opening May 9 Two places in Ripley at least the Superior Food Market of Lynn Nicholson and George McLean's Store, have white picture posters — combining a photo along with typed text. The photo shows a section of road lined each side with nice leafy shade trees. It says that is not a picture taken around here. Well that is for sure they would be chain sawed into wood long before now. The posters are to tell people that the official opening of the Huron township tree nursery will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 9, 1987. If rain is pouring at that time it will be held on Sun- day at 2 p.m. The man in charge is Ian MacEachern and he got the idea from England. Among those helping are the Ripley Junior Farmers with Mike Hunter the president. Piels ready in greenhouses On Saturday afternoon, April 24, 1987 - a nice sunny afternoon we drove south of Ripley on the 15th to top of the Sixth Hill (one block south of Ripley) . Then turned left there and drove almost another block and turned right there into the farm drive way. That is two blocks from Ripley. There is the location of the I.C. Nursery. The initials stand for Ida and Corrie Piel. And if you go there the two ladies will be real pleased to show you their spring plants - rough calculation sixteen thousand at least from the figures Ida gave me as she guided my tour of the five separate houses. In the most southerly house in the row there were hundreds of flats of tomato plants - Celebration, Bonnie Best, Beefsteak Glamour (canning), J.B.K. Early, Roma (a pasta), sweet 100's etc. also annual flowers - alyssum, portulacca, begonias, ageratium, dusty miller etc. more vegetable plants - peppers, cabbage, broccoli etc. In the second green house in line going north there were young geraniums by thousands. Some of the kinds are Sincerity Red, Kim - a new deep red, Wendy Ann - a coral pink, white Geraniums and others. In the third house there were 900 flats of im- patiens and marigolds. In the fourth house are polyanthia roses, lolblia snapdragons, asters, phlox, verbena, pansies, spanish onions, broccoli, red cabbage green and yellow peppers. In the fifth house - petunias.

Following the vote, the secretary of the committee seeking an alternative financial centre for the village, Dianne Heinisch was instructed to send a letter to HEPCOE head office mak- ing the request. Ms. Enright said she anticipates manage- ment will look at locating in Ripley and if they decide to pursue the proposal, they will do the study and then make a presentation to the board of directors for approval if they feel it is warranted. She said Ripley is under no obligation to choose HEPCOE and there is no intention at the present time by HEPCOE to open a branch in Ripley. She attended the meeting to provide information. The committee will also be investigating other probabilities.
