CCC veterans plan picnic Oct. 10

Veterans of the Civilian Conservation Corps will be honored at Fort Harrison State Park with a statewide reunion on Oct. 10 at the park’s Camp Glenn from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

CCC veterans and their families are invited for a picnic lunch at noon, followed by a reunion photograph. An oral history booth will be provided for veterans wishing to record their CCC memories. Children and families can enroll in the CCC for the day and experience camp life in an interactive camp setting.

Interpretive naturalists will provide walking tours of historic Camp Glenn throughout the day, and the afternoon will be filled with scheduled interpretive programs by guest speakers, including Fred Wooley, Pokagon State Park interpretive naturalist, and Foster Brown, singer/songwriter/storyteller from Cleveland Metro Parks.

CCC veterans can register for the event by contacting Vicki Basman, DNR Division of State Parks and Reservoirs chief of interpretation, at (317) 234-4926 or vbasman@dnr.IN.gov.

Attendance is free; however, the usual state park daily weekend gate fee of $5 per in-state vehicle or $7 per out-of-state vehicle applies.

• PAW PRINTS: Want to adopt a pit bull? Here are some helpful hints

  Despite the bad publicity, pit bulls can be very lovable and loyal family dogs. There is a great deal of confusion associated with the label “pit bull.” The most accurate definition refers to two breeds: the American pit bull terrier and the American Staffordshire terrier. Some people include other breeds in this group because they share similar head shapes and body types.

• YOUR GREEN VALLEY: Conversation leads to imagining a world with no trees

  I was recently asked by someone to imagine what the end of the world would look like. I consider myself a very optimistic person and have never imagined the end. The only image that came to mind was one often portrayed in a Hollywood movie, a scene where a big fireball comes down and everything is burnt to a crisp. The person I was talking with imagined the end would be a world where there are no living trees. This short but interesting conversation got me interested in what has and is plaguing trees.
