Why might you ask? It's because I enjoy the cool evenings and I actually like when the leaves start .to change. It also makes for a nice cool sleep, instead of the hot sticky nights of summer. October is also Thanksgiving and Halloween. Two great holi- days in one month. Everyone comes back home for Thanksgiving ° and way and it's great it's great. I really enjoy November because it was the month I was born even though it's the big 30 for me this year. It's always , good to reconnect with fami- ly. It's also a great month for cherishing the memo- ries of our fallen veterans on Remembrance Day. The fall just packs in a lot of great holidays and I always know Christmas is just around the corner. Area stepped up to plate for cause ;Dear -Editor, Our area has _ once again stepped up to the plate and responded beau- tifully to a call for. generosity. Earlier this month a. letter to the edi- tor .was P published in the paper set- ting ting out the details of a farm acci- dent, which left Mike Munro from Embro paralysed from the waist down. His wife, Rhonda, is the daughter of Tom and Karla Hogan of Kingsbridge. Rhonda _ was born and raised in this area.' Friends in the Embro area held a very success- ful fund-raising event for Mike, Rhonda, and their two sons on Saturday, Aug. 22. We are very happy to report that our call . for donations to help support this young family alsomet with an overwhelm- ing P in response. It was truly heart- warming. eart- warmin _. The funds raised will help to make necessary modifications to d their home and vehicles and around the farm. We want to thank all . thosewho contributed. Everyone benefits from such a great-hearted spirit! Betty VanOsch, Francis & Barb Hogan, Paul & Anita Frayne utternut trees getting some help The Huron Stewardship Council is again running a project to locate and assess butternut trees in the counties of Huron and Perth. "Many landowners have contact- ed us in the last year, allowing the locating of over 200 trees on 60 sites," said Steve Bowers, steward- ship coordinator. "We would like to thank these people for their help." Butternut, a native tree threatened by a canker disease, has been desig- natedan endangered species in Ontario. It has never been plentiful, and does not occur extensively in large stands, but usually as isolated trees or groups of trees. Unlike' its cousin walnut, it is rarely found in towns and cities unless previously planted. "The canker, first identified in the Southern U.S., has been spreading northward and has decimated the butternut population in several states," said John Irwin, tree asses- sor. "It first appears as blackened sooty marks on the stem, which develop into open cankers with loose bark. In the past few years, the Forest Gene Conservation Association, with the assistance of local steward- ship councils, have been locating butternut trees to assess how badly they are affected by the butternut canker. "Our goal at this point, is to establish the status of the species in our area," said Bowers. Future plans are to identify those trees that show resistance to the dis- ease. These may be used for propa- gating the species by collecting and planting nuts, and by taking scions from twigs for grafting onto root- stocks. If you have butternut on your property, you are asked to calf Steve Bowers with the Huron Stewardship Council at (519)482- 3661, or John Irwin, field assessor, at (519)482-9517, to arrange a site inspection. Your assistance is appreciated. Sentinel • iviemoirs 10 years ago - Sept.
