PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
It’s that time of year again. Good Old Days is upon
us. It’s a great time to be
involved in our biggest 1 day
event of the year. We will
need more member
involvement this year than
any other year past. Help is
needed before, during and
after the event. Please join a
crew and make it the most
successful one we have ever
had. Don’t know how to join
a crew? Call the club or
email me.
For the new members we need your help. You can
make it successful, get your hours in and become
acquainted with other club members. Even if you
can only do two hours it will make a difference. It
takes a lot of planning and participation to pull this
one day event off without a hitch.
All day amusement ride presale tickets are $10.00
or $12.00 the day of the event. Get those presale
tickets out to your friends and neighbors. This is a
great way to recoup our costs. The more we sell
before the event the more we make for the club.
More events have been added this year, with a DJ
playing all day and live bands starting at 8:00 p.m.
Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the day.
Do you remember the great times we had camping
the weekend of Good Old days? Walking from
campfire to campfire, enjoying stories of past Good
Old Days, tents hanging in trees, blueberry
pancakes for breakfast, watch campers put up
tents. This can be most enjoyable. And the little
streams of water thru the campgrounds after a
heavy rain. Good old fun and great company.
Register for your campsite at the bar and enjoy the
whole weekend without having to drive home.

a Hunter Safety Certificate. Our program differs from most, in

helping to make the Rendezvous a successful & safe weekend. It

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS!!!!
As most of you know, we had new member meeting

To those that decided to attend their first work-bee,
your club thanks you. In addition, if you came out to

HURON RIVER RAIDERS
(The Multi-Lakes Conservation Association Cowboy Action Shooting Group)
Dedicated to the preservation and expansion of Cowboy Action Shooting
Established 2007
Weekend Cowboy Action Shooting at Multi-Lakes
The Huron River Raiders are going to try something different for us, a cowboy action shooting session on the weekend.
We plan to have sessions on Saturdays, August 9th and Sept. 13th. Check in will start at 9:30 AM and shooting will
start at 10:00AM. We will end shooting about noon, followed by some clean up/ teardown. The shooting scenarios
(stages) will be set up on Outdoor Range #2. This will be an informal shoot meaning that participants will be asked
to help set up and teardown the stages as well as the normal match chores. Cost will be our low introductory rate of
$5.00. Cowboy attire is strongly encouraged but not required.
If you would like more information about Cowboy Action Shooting in general, visit our webpage on the multi-lakes
web site, www.multilakes.com. For more information about the shoots contact Dan Campau (aka The Baja Kid) at
734-261-9786 or Ron Davis (aka Boss Wheelwright) at 248-685-1206.
Hope to see you on the range.

August: Mid-Summer Outdoor Work
by Marty Zaremba
August can be a popular month for vacations and our gardens
can suffer because of it. The work of watering, weeding, tying and
staking should continue. Cutting of annual flowers and picking ripe
vegetables should continue also. Spraying for insects and diseases
should be done as needed. There seems to be a lot of Japanese
beetles this year. They will chew and lace leaves of garden plants,
flower bed plants and ornamental trees. If they multiply unchecked
there will be an increase of grubs in the lawn which invites skunks
and moles looking to eat them for food. Apply Dursban or Grub-X
to the lawn to control the grubs.
Container plants need extra care in August. A little plant tending
is in order by now. Cut back overgrown plants and replace the ones
than have seen better days. Check with your local nursery to see
what is available to make a refreshing addition. Container
plantings can benefit from refurbishing every month or so.
Maintain a regular watering routine. When plants wilt, apply a
measured inch of water. This amount will moisten the soil to about
6 inches deep. This is enough for annuals for about a week on
heavy soils. This is about half a week on sandy soil. Try not to
water again until the soil has dried out.
Fertilize annuals with a liquid fertilizer according to the
directions on the package. Container plants need regular fertilizing.
Most will need fertilizer by now. You can get more flowers from
those hanging baskets, if you spray some kind of liquid fertilizer. I
like Rapid-Gro or Miracle-Gro.
Control insects with Carbaryl (Sevin) or Orthone. Chewing bugs
can be controlled with BT (Bacillus Thuiringienis). Little holes in
leaves are nothing to worry about. You should worry about
disappearing leaves and flowers. If you are going to spray for
Japanese beetles, I suggest you spray the chemical Sevin. When
Sevin is used there is usually an increase of spider mites. This can
be avoided with the addition of an acaracide or miteacide to your
spray mix. I suggest you add Kelthane to your Sevin mixture.
Kelthane is also good to treat the house plants you moved to the
deck or patio. While outside they will almost certainly pick up
some red spider mites & Kelthane will prevent you from bringing
them into the house and infesting the fragile house plants. Flowers
left to go to seed will take energy needed to produce more blooms.
So, pruning becomes a continuous but necessary job. Do a little
every chance you get, and it will not get ahead of you. If your
plants are getting a little leggy again, cut them back. If you can
keep your flowers in shape through the heat of August, they will
reward you when the cooler weather returns this fall.
The harvesting of herbs and vegetables should start this month.
Continue to pick broccoli, cucumbers & summer squash. Don’t let
them go to flower. Production slows if the squash are left to get
extra large. You should dig up the garlic when the leaves start to
turn yellow. If it is left in the ground too long, the paper covering
will begin to rot. If it does not rain for a week to 10 days, apply 1
inch of water. Water early in the day so that plants dry before dark.
If possible, use soaker hoses to keep the foliage dry.
Check regularly for aphids, mites, white flies, leaf beetles and
soil insects. If radishes, potatoes, or carrots have spots chewed into
them, maggots can be blamed. Some herbs are especially
susceptible to mites. Both spider mites and the tiny cyclamen mites
will affect them. Parsley leaves that curl may have mites. Leaves
of other plants with mites will have a dirty look to them, and close
examination will reveal webs and the mites themselves on the
underside of the leaves.
As the temperatures moderate, the grass will resume growth.
Mow as needed to keep the grass at the correct height. Established
grass should receive 1 inch of water when it begins to wilt.
Fertilize at the end of August. If no lawn repairs were needed, use
a weed and feed product to eliminate broadleaf weeds. If you are
plagued with Ground Ivy better known as (Creeping Charlie) and
do not have access to low yield nuclear weapons, use a chemical
named Bonide. It kicks Creeping Charlie right in the pants. It
contains MCPA, TRICLOPYR and DICAMBA. Besides being on
my sub in the Navy, it is the closest I have ever been to nuclear
weapons.
Skunks and raccoons digging up the lawn are a good indication
that grubs are present. Roll back damaged grass to see the grubs.
Apply Sevin to control June grubs and adults. Animals feeding in
the lawn are seeking insects. Some lawn damage is caused be
rabbits grazing. They tend to clip the grass too short & make that
area look bad. Squirrels dig holes to bury nuts and seeds. If you put
down some sod, make sure the seams are butted tight together.
After watering, use a lawn roller to remove extra air and make sure
there is good contact with the wet soil.
It is possible that spraying for insects isn’t worth it. If there are
so few that they do not harm anything, let the natural predators
handle them. Ladybird beetles (Ladybugs) and lacewings eat
aphids, scales and mealy bugs. Assassin bugs and others feed on
soft-bodied insects such as caterpillars. Many flies parasitize insect
pests. Wasp and hornets catch insects to feed their young. Spraying
insecticides harms the natural predators too. Use the least harmful
material if you must spray. Sometimes it is just as easy to snip off
a single shoot that is covered with aphids, or to pick off the
caterpillar or Japanese beetle as it is to mix and apply a pesticide.
Wear gloves to mix chemicals. Wear goggles and a respirator
when spraying.
August can be very dry. If it is dry, water the shrubs every
couple of weeks. Soak them until the water begins to run off.
Watch newly planted shrubs. They have small root systems that are
struggling to get started. Water them when they need it, but do not
drown them. Shrub cuttings taken in June will probably be rooted
by the end of August. If you can, you should leave them
undisturbed in a cold frame for the cold weather.
Trees generally are able to survive on their own in nature. When
they are planted out of their natural habitat, they become
dependent on us to care for them. Premature fall color in trees is
often a sign of trouble. The tree may be overly dry or may have
other problems. Often it is a sign of root damage or girdling. If one
of your trees is already turning color, examine the root collar at the
base of the tree to make sure it is sound. Girdling roots are often
the cause of trouble. Sometimes they are visible above the ground,
but they may be just below the soil surface. Remove girdling roots.
If they are major roots, there may be some loss in the top of the
tree. The other choice is to lose the entire tree from girdling. Some
parts of our state have an alkaline soil. Pin oaks and Red maples
barely survive because of these soils. In our area Pin oaks turn
yellow. This can be corrected by the use of iron chelates. Maples
will start to yellow because lack of manganese. Iron chelates and
manganese can be given to trees by drilling a small hole in the
trunk and inserting a plastic plug (Meta Cap) containing the
mineral that the trees can not get from the soil. The minerals can
be sprinkled on the lawn under the tree and watered in. They can
be put in the soil under the tree, by means of drilling holes 3 feet
apart and approximately 20 to 30 inches deep. This circle should
start at the drip line. The fertilizer spikes that are popular won’t get
the job done. They are easy to install, but think about it, they only
go down 6 to 10 inches. When rain is scarce, you will have trouble
because the spikes will draw the roots to the surface. You should
have the fertilizer down at least 20 inches. This will encourage
deep root growth where there is a better supply of water in August.
