Squirrel Crimes Be Like : Chapter Notes

This page starts off with Mrs. Dailey talking about the deer and the trail they walk along near China Creek as they graze. Next is talk about the Live Oak Bush with acorns that are sweet. The next page says that you can just shell them and eat them but never make acorn soup out of them.

The acorns on this tree are the largest of any North American Oak. In the fall it is a really bright orange. Sometimes American black bears get the acorns for food. Turkey’s in the wild also eat off of the Bur Oak tree.

The Blue Oak tree is a deciduous tree, but will sometimes shed its leaves and go dormant for many years during severe droughts. It is a short tree with an open canopy and an average height of 30 feet. The leaves are blue-green in color and one to three inches long. Acorns are thin and ¾ to 1 ½ inches long. They ripen in one year and are able to germinate after one month. Blue Oak reproduces through seeds and from cut or burnt stumps. The light colored, thick bark helps reduce fire damage. The number of Blue Oak trees has decreased due to their slow growth, but they aren’t considered endangered because of their wide distribution. People use Blue Oak for fence posts and fire wood. Native Americans also ate the acorns and used the wood to make

This book shows viewpoints that contradict one another about crime related issues. In showing that there is two side to looking at crime, such as saying poverty causes crime verses poverty does not cause crime. There can be different ways and theories and trends relating to poverty causing crime but there also is evidence that not all poverty causes crime. This book shows both viewpoints of how one angle of an issue could cause crime but does not always. Looking at crime this way shows that people think it is a stereotype of who commits crimes.

This book, written by Roland Smith, is about a fourteen year old boy, Peak, who loves to climb. He lives for it. His parents were both world famous climbers but the wife carrying a child abruptly ended that, for the wife anyway. As for the husband, he wasn’t ready to settle down and left to travel and climb like he was born for. With that said, it is obvious that climbing is in his genes, so should it really come as a surprise that Peak was the mysterious, tagger vandal? In attempt to leave yet another blue, spray paint mountain tag on a high building, he gets stuck, and he gets caught. Now vandalism is not the worst crime ever, but when you are doing something risky and kids see it, “Monkey see monkey do” as the saying goes. A tragic incident

On a sunday afternoon, after church, my family decided it would be a good idea to treat ourselves with ice cream, so we did, and as we left the ice cream shop there's was two boys no more than 8 years old and 90 pounds on their knees begging for food. No one was even bothering to give them the slightest of recognition of the fact that they were starving to death. One of the boys looked at me with glistening eyes of desperation and eagerness and said “Comida..Por Favor” (food...please), My body had filled up with embarrassment and disgust, not towards the boys but of myself. At the time i had been carrying an ice cream cone with chocolate stains smeared all over my cotton white shirt. I replied nearly in tears “Nomas tengo 20 pesos ahora, pero si vienes mañana, yo va trier ropa y comida para tu y tu hermano”(I only have 20 pesos with me right now, but if you come tomorrow, i'll bring food and clothes for you and your brother.) The boy whose name i didn't catch, quickly snatched the coins from my hand like a snake, i assumed it was because he'd think i'd change my mind. The next day on my walk to meet the two boys i saw

In 1997 Ostfield released a study demonstrating a significant positive relationship between the amount of acorns present within an area and the abundance of mice (1).

We have been following the Platte River for five days when all of a sudden two of our wagon bows just snapped. The whole wagon train had to pull over and help us fix it. All of the kids went to an open space and played with each other to keep busy, all of them were getting along just fine. After about an hour of trying to fix the bows, nothing was working out. John Grant told us that he had extras for his wagon, but he let us use them instead. We were so thankful for him, otherwise we feared that we might have to turn around. It only took as about a half hour to get the new bows installed and since we were stopped we just decided to eat lunch. John’s wife made too much food, so she gave the leftover for our family to eat. We were are so grateful for of them and their family.

The sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima) is in the red oak family. Native to Asia, it is noted for its fast growth (two feet per year) and early acorn production. The first acorns are routinely produced in five to 10 years versus the 25 or 30 years it usually takes native oaks to start producing acorns. The acorns are large and dropped in September or early October. The sawtooth is also noted for its consistent annual production and not being as subject to frosts or poor crops which often limit white oak production. Although the red oak group has a reputation for being less palatable (containing more tannic acid) than the white oak group, the sawtooth does not. Years ago, I conducted controlled research at a local zoo which showed sawtooth acorns equal to white oak acorns in

Although native to southern Illinois, the rounded chestnut oak thrives throughout growing zones 4 through 8. It makes a welcome addition as a shade tree and is also suitable for sidewalks, yards, parks, and as a garden focal point. The V-shaped bark on the mature tree brings interest to gardens and sets it apart from other species. Related to the beech family, the deciduous tree’s fall foliage changes from red to orange to yellow before turning brown and shedding its leaves. Leaves are 4 to 6 inches long and serrated at its edges. This tree will also drop acorns ranging from 1 to 1 ½ inches long. The chestnut oak provides ornamental beauty, shade, and animal habitat to even the poorest of soil conditions. Invited

The major factor influencing the flavor/aroma composition of oak cooperage is the heating and toasting of the staves during barrel-making. Toasting penetrates about halfway into the stave, about 10-14 mm.

Oak trees are most commonly used for making furniture, barrels, railroad ties, and during the age of Vikings it was used for making ships. Oak trees produce acorns which provide food for wildlife and can also be

There once lived a widow man named Obsalyt and his son named Leo. They were very poor and only had a small farm. They were poor as a rat and had a scarce amount of food. Their farm was their only source they had to survive it was precious like a treasure. Obsalyt worked numerous days so he and Leo would have enough to eat. By day by night he planted the seeds and carried buckets of water from the well everyday. No matter how hard he worked nothing grew. Days passed and Obsalyt barley grew anything due to a severe drought. The weather was so dry, the land was cracking and the well was running out of water. So Obsalyt walked numerous miles to find water by going to the river but there was no water. The drought was completely dry like a desert there was dangerous wildfires. Obsalyt had to do something quick before they go famine or starve to death.

Growing up I have tender memories of watching the majestic oak tree go thru numerous seasons. Each change of time brought on another milestone in my life. Climbing the branches I learned so much about life and myself. Looking down from the tree I learned more about others then I would being stuck on the ground alone. At the age of 5, I can fondly remember my step father building a tree house in that oak tree and attaching a rope swing. The addition of the treehouse brought a new love into my life, but it never took away love of my tree.
