Doon Heritage Crossroads opens A sure sign of spring each year is the opening of Doon Heritage Crossroads on the first Sunday of May. The welcome mats are out throughout the living history vill­ age on Sunday. May 5, from 10 to 4:30 p.m. Opening Day is very special for visitors. They come to experience life at the turn of the century. Costumed interpreters, working in the gardens, the blacksmith shop, and the homes and shops, make the past exciting and meaningful. Rural life would not be complete without the farm animals. The two farmyards hold the sheep and pigs and chickens and geese as well as the shorthorn cow and Bill, Prince, and Surprise, the horses. Visitors get a chance to see how the eggs and milk become a custard for dinner or the horses are used in the daily chores. In the early 20th century, the economy was in recession, even as it is today. Visitors to Doon will see for themselves the strength of character of the villagers and their homegrown solutions to everyday problems. Doon Heritage Crossroads has modern amenities too, including a snack bar, gift shop, a picnic area and free parking.

The forest tent caterpillar infes­ tation is intensifying north and west of Lake Superior this spring, but dying out in Southern Ontario. “Moderate-to-severe defoliation in Southern Ontario will occur in isolated pockets and in the Owen Sound and Bruce Peninsula areas, where the infestation is peaking. But the worst is over in areas such as Bracebridge, Bancroft and Southern Georgian Bay,” said Natural Resources Minister Bud Wildman. However, the infestation will continue in Northern Ontario. In many cases it will intensify, such as in the west part of the District of Cochrane, the northern part of the District of Algoma, around Lake Nipigon and west to the Manitoba border. Areas experiencing a sharp rise in moderate-to-severe defoliation include Kapuskasing, Wawa, and Ignace. Around Temagami, and in other areas across the North, the infestation has collapsed. The 1991 forecast is based on surveys last fall in which entomologists counted deposits of forest tent caterpillar eggs on twigs and branches in sample forest areas. Property owners who wish to minimize forest tent caterpillar damage may spray with a register­ ed pesticide or hire an aerial spraying contractor. Owners with only a few trees may try clipping branches tipped with egg masses and burning the green twigs. The ministry’s approach is to allow natural controls, such as disease and parasites, to end forest tent caterpillar outbreaks. Aerial spraying by MNR with an environ- mentally-safe insecticide contain­ ing the bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis) is usually not requir­ ed for forest tent caterpillars, since most trees will survive. Another forest pest, the gypsy moth, has declined in Eastern Ontario, but is increasing around Bancroft, Bracebridge. Parry Sound and Pembroke, and through­ out the Niagara Peninsula. In Parry Sound District, cotta­ gers may also notice evidence of jack pine budwcim which, despite its name, also feeds on red, white and Scotch pine. Look for loose, silken webbing spun around the flowers or needles of new shoots on trees in spring. The jack pine budworm feeds on the pollen or developing foliage, and can kill or cause malformation of the tops of conifers. “Over 30 years of service & dependability W.
