Holy Site In
Iraq Destroyed •
The release of a recent video
shows ISIS members smashing
a tomb in Mosul, Iraq. The tomb
is traditionally thought to be
the burial place of the prophet
Jonah, a holy site for Christians
and many Muslims.
Mosul, the second-largest city
in Iraq, is built on and adjacent
to the ancient Assyrian city
of Nineveh, the setting for the
biblical book of Jonah and once
the most powerful capital of the
ancient world. For manypeople
familiar with the biblical story,
Nineveh is inseparable from the
figure of Jonah•
The group's action destroyed
CA E
one of the few physical traces of
Old Testament history remaining
in Iraq.

Ask Pastor Rick
Does God have a sense of
humor?
rve read many theology books
and have never read that humor
was one of God's immutable
characteristics, but I think He
has a great sense of humor. I get
a glimpse of it everyday when I
look in the mirror!
Some of the statements in the
Bible are a crack-up as well. Take
Proverbs 11:22, for example. It
says, "Like a gold ring in a pig's
snout is a beautiful face on an
empty head." I don't know about
you, but I find that extremely
funny.
Not only .does God have a
sense of humor, He wants His
people to have one as well. Again
the author of Proverbs writes, "A
cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the
bones." [Proverbs 17.22]

Responding To A Need
There is a lot to think about
when it comes to a child's
development. Even the most
attentive parents may struggle
to find the ihformation they need
to be sure their young child's
health, wellness and learning are
on track.
To ensure that all children are
set up for success when they
enter school, Easter Seals' Make
the First Five Count® initiative
offers free online screenings and
provides thousands of children
access to the services they need
to make sure they are reaching
their full potential. Easter
Seals is a leading provider of
early childhood developmental
services and provides education,
outreach and advocacy so
that children living with autism
spectrum disorder and other
disabilities can live, learn and
play in their communities.
Every Child Deserves
A Bright Future
It's important for parents to
observe their child's progress
and remember that each child
is unique and develops at his or
her own pace. Developmental
screenings are an important
tool in helping to identify the
specific skills each child needs to
succeed.
Parents can monitor their
child's milestones by taking the
Ages & Stages Questionnaires®
at. www.easterseals.com/asq. It's
a free, comprehensive screening
tool to help guide parents through
their childls developmental years.

birds and plants she sees around, and other things that interest her. It began
as a record for her own benefit so that, for example she could compare bird
migration patterns year on year. It's developed over the weeks into a story of

I forgot about the wild turkeys!
It must have been the height of
the mating season a couple of
weeks ago. Everywhere you
looked there were cock turkeys
in full display, tails fanned and
waggling scarlet wattles. The
hens were unimpressed but I
thought it was a good show. I still
see the odd single male forlornly
displaying but a fortnight ago
they were in flocks competing for
the ladies. The black phoebes'
mating ritual was spectacular
too, whirling up and down at
high speed• The towhees are
back in the garden after a short
absence. I hadn't realized they
were gone until I saw them again
this morning.
The Say's phoebes are very
tame and don't bat an eyelid if
they're in the bath and a human
strolls past. Hummingbirds even
more so. If I'm working in the
garden a hummer won't think
twice about buzzing my ear and
I love the way they hover outside
the window when we're sitting
indoors in the early evening. I
like to think they're peering in
to see what we're up to. Mark
says they're just looking at their
reflection in the glass. He's
probably right but my explanation
is more romantic.
The orioles, on the other hand,
are quite nervous and take flight at
the slightest sound or movement.
The females seem bolder than
the males, possibly because their
plumage is duller and they don't
feel so conspicuous. I've been
watching a pair around the bath
for a few days. The female dives
in and has a whale of a time. The
male perches close, shuffles to
the end of the twig, thinks better
of it and flies off. I've observed
this ritual several times. I've
started calling them Mr & Mrs B
(Bullock's oriole, see?). A couple
of days ago they were doing the
• usual, then Mr B finally found his
courage and jumped in. All of a
sudden there were three of them
in there - Mr & Mrs B and another
male. Then I saw another pair
perched on top on the veggie
garden. We have lots of orioles!
The front garden is looking
miserable now. It got weed
whacked. So a month ago it was
a beautiful sea of blue, dotted
with pink and yellow; now it's an
ugly parched brown and flat -
apart from the gopher hills and
a tiny patch I roped off where I
planted a wild flower seed mix. I
managed to run outside in time to
stop the gardeners from shaving
all the flowers off the pyracantha
so at least there will be some
berries for the birds this winter.
Big excitement on the flora
front though. It was the Julian
wild flower show last week;
such a joy to see them in the
flesh, so to speak, rather than
looking at photos in a book.
On Saturday I attended a talk
by a local ecologist on how to
recognise and deal with invasive
non-native weed species. It was
an intimate affair - aside from 3
of the organisers, just me in the
audience. We went for lunch
together afterwards and I got so
much information and answers to
many questions about all sorts of'
things and met some lovely local
lady native plant enthusiasts. It
was wonderful. I described the
snake - probably gopher. Great!
Let's have more of those. The
gopher hills - most likely a lot of
them are ground squirrels. Not so
good. They do as much damage
as the gophers. Got confirmation
that you have to protect
plantings from underground root
nibblers with wire cages - no
getting around that one. Also
the majority, if not all, the wild
grasses I have are non-natives
and must be eliminated to create
an environment conducive to
natives. A daunting prospect.
Best to take a long view, start
with a small area and keep
working outwards. It was a shot
in the arm to meet people who
share my enthusiasm for native
planting and don't look at me as
if I'm a madwoman who wants a
garden full of weeds.
A little aside: I lust can't bring
myself to call it a yard. Why is
that? It's a source of confusion
because here a garden is a place
you grow vegetables and all the
rest is a yard. To me, a yard is
a tiny, concreted patch behind
the house, walled or fenced
on all sides, of the type seen
commonly in English terraced
rows. You might have a thin strip
of soil down one or two sides,
and maybe a few pots. There's
usually a shed or c0al cellar in the
bottom corner, sometimes an old
outside iav. As soon as you have
something big enough to grow
stuff it's a garden. Another one
is soil. Here, it's dirt. I suppose
at some point I'll have to stop
resisting and succumb to the
American terminology. Ho hum.
