www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday October 24, 2008 - 9 River Oaks willow most kid-friendly tree Continued from page 3 told the story of a maple tree's experience in a community from the maple's point of view. A willow, which serves as a `hangout' for children in the Riverglen Boulevard and Sixth Line area and was nominated by Nicholas Wandel, was granted the title of Most Kid-Friendly Tree, but it had to share this distinction with a black walnut and a magnolia that were nominated by the students of Clanmore Montessori School. For the photo categories, Bronte Road's white oak photographed by Richard Braeken at sunset received the Best Full Tree Photo Award, while a closer shot of the same tree got Jackie Osmond Patrick the award for Best Photo of Bark and Branches. Gary Lynch's photograph of a sugar maple with emerald green leaves in Bronte Provincial Park secured the Best Photo of Leaves award, while Moira Matsubuchi-Shaw's close-up photo of the berries of a European rowan, located at Erchless Estate, made her a shoo-in for the Best Photo of Fruit award. A sleepy screech owl in a Hawthorn tree netted Scott Snowball the Best Photo of Wildlife award. Best Photo of a Kid-Friendly Tree went to Jian Su for a series of pictures that showed the amazement of a group of children as they watched a raccoon in a red oak. Donna Sheppard was recognized with the Best Photo Journal award for her photos of an American sycamore in the 16 Mile Creek Valley. The Mayor's Pinnacle Award went to Cheryl Clarke for her Photo Journal of Brook Valley Park. A slide show, projected on a giant screen, gave the audience an opportunity to see all of the photographs and there was was obvious appreciation from members who saw what their local photographers could accomplish. In the end, Kavassalis received an award from Oakvillegreen President Liz Benneian for her countless hours spent working to promote Oakville's trees through her time as president of the Oakville Horticultural Society, her involvement in the heritage tree seeding collection and, among other things, her battle with a developer to stop clear cutting. While the evening was about recognizing great trees in Oakville, Benneian noted that it also had a practical purpose that will impact Oakville's future. "The trees nominated tonight are potential sources of seed collection and some will become the parents and grandparents of Oakville's urban forest," she said.

Send your resume to careers@oakvillehonda.com Correction An article on Spencer Walker that appeared in the Oct. 22 edition of The Oakville Beaver contained incorrect information. The story stated that Walker's character changes over time. In fact, the play's timeline is a month. The story also incorrectly stated that Walker takes part in drama class and electives following suit with visual arts, dancing, music, musical theatre and film. In fact, his major is drama, other arts majors at Etobicoke School of the Arts include visual arts, dance, music, musical theatre and film. The article also states the children are double cast to abide by child labour laws. There is no indication that is the reason for double casting the roles. The Oakville Beaver regrets the errors.
