Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

Gypsy Moth: the offense

Some tried to swat & capture the moths; and before that there was effort to trap the caterpillars on tree trunks. As we start to have warmer temperatures it is now the time to scrape off the eggs which have been laid on the tree trunks by last year's moths. The photos to the left are...
