 Erich Maxheimer, son of Mike and Suzie Maxheimer from Chestnut, was
recently selected to receive the Leigh F. Zerbee Scholarship for $10,000 at the
University of Illinois. The scholarship is awarded to civil engineering students
who are specializing in military science. Erich is a freshman at the U of I and
is cadet in the Air Force ROTC program, in which he is also a member of the
Arnold Air Society. He is a member of the Orange Krush and also belongs to the
Sigma Phi Delta engineering fraternity. He also was named on the fall 2010
dean's list.
The Logan County Soil & Water Conservation District will sponsor a
tree sale program again this year to encourage more tree planting. The trees
may be used for any purpose and planted in town or country. Some uses are as
windbreaks, timber production, wildlife cover, Christmas trees and ornamental
planting.
Evergreen species being offered this year are white pine, Norway spruce,
Colorado blue spruce and Douglas fir. Hardwoods, ornamentals and shrubs being
offered are red maple, red oak, white oak, river birch, black walnut, eastern
redbud, red osier dogwood, silky dogwood, and high-bush cranberry.
The evergreens will be sold in bundles of 25 and the hardwoods will be sold
in bundles of five. These trees will be sold at a cost of approximately $1 per
tree. If you cannot use 25 trees, you might want to combine your order with a
neighbor. Individual trees may be purchased at a cost of $2 per tree.
Marking flags will be sold. These flags may be placed by the trees to help
locate them for mowing. A two-year time-release fertilizer tablet is also
available. Orders will also be taken for tree protectors. These are corrugated
plastic wraps that protect the tree from deer, rodents, weather and mowers. The
wrap promotes straighter and faster growth.
Trees are scheduled to be delivered in April. You will be notified as to the
exact date for pickup. Please call the district office at 735-5508, ext. 3, or
stop by the office at 1650 Fifth Street Road, Lincoln, for more information and
an order form. Deadline for ordering trees is March 14.
