Exploring New Worlds
Mitchell John Felker is one of two Morris Central School students who are serving as foreign exchange students during the 2011-2012 academic year. He's staying in Benalla, a small city (9,000 population) about 2 hours by car northeast of Melbourne. He reports glowingly of his big-city experiences in Sydney, his tour around rural central Australia, and an upcoming camping trip to the Aussie coast. All are new adventures that widen the world of a curious teen mind.
Happy Holidays!
Our Warmest Holiday Greetings to One and All!

One Very Destructive Insect Pest
What were those strange purple traps in the trees along our rural roads this summer? Rebecca Hargrave of Cornell Cooperative Extension told Morris Rotarians about the damage that's being done by the Emerald Ash Borer. The good news is that this summer’s survey didn’t turn up any of the pest insects in the Butternut Valley. The Emerald Ash Borer is slowly chewing up America’s ash forests.
