Anne Wanninkhof told the Citizen it's impossible to predict at this time just how much busier things will get at the Food Bank this fall. The Food Bank presently provides hampers to about 25 families and individuals each week, but with the government cutting benefits to Ontario's welfare recipients by 21.6 per cent on October 1, there are predictions that more people will be forced to use food banks across the province. Noting that the Operation Scugog Food Bank is not just for those on welfare, Mrs. Wanninkhof said she hopes the numbers. don't increase by 40 or 50 people: "The community is very generous (with donations) to us," she said, adding the Food Bank should not have trouble. coping if the increase in users is not too large. 3 - e Cause for celebration?

Scugog Township has recognized the importance of naturalization and has been struggling to inform the community of its need in such times, of ecological stress. The Rotary Park, situated north of the boat launch, is one of the naturalization attempts made by the Township, its beauty & importance are undeniable. The definition of a naturalized' aréa is quite simple, the area should be a self sustaining ecosystem representing the natural environment before human interference. A One objective of a naturalized park is to require little, i maintenance, hence the long grasses.

There are over 11 types of native grasses within the Rotary Park; to cut these would be decreasing the diversity, and also the strength of the natural park. 'There is a small amount of maintenance done within the park in order to create a mild buffer zone between human activity and the project.

Weeds are the moss prominent plants in Canada, and also the least appreciated. The definition of a weed is a plant that grows where humans do not desire them to grow.
