It has been an absolutely beauti-
ful summer with warm tempera-
tures and dry days, lots of
opportunities to spend time outside
in the gardens.
However, those same conditions
could have a long term affect on
the health of trees and small shrubs.
Apple grower and weather
watcher Boyd Taylor of Morris
Twp. recommends all shrubs and
small trees be watered thoroughly
before winter sets in.
The reason is that recent reports
show the area has experienced 18-
months of above average tempera-
tures. Taylor recorded a high of 24
degrees Celsius on March 30.
In combination with low precipi-
tation, effects could be seen well
into next year if rain doesn't fall.

On Oct. 2 at 9 a.m. a citizen
called in a vehicle that had failed to
stop for a school bus which was
loading students onto a bus on the
main street in Brussels. The

number of the vehicle and called in

passenger side and the rear bumper
was missing. The damage indicated
that the vehicle had recently been
involved in a motor vehicle
