Lamprey Kill Trout At Glen Eden Lake
Lampreys have killed a Rainbow Trout at Glen Eden Lake in the Kelso area. Officials from Halton Region Conservation Authority warn the incident signals a potential wider threat to local fish stocks. A 23 inch, six pound rainbow trout was found with a large head wound and later confirmed as lamprey caused. The report notes lampreys exist locally and may migrate upstream from Kelso to spawn, with control measures discussed to protect stocked fish. Glen Eden has received multiple stockings in recent years, totaling thousands of rainbows and speckled trout. Public officials caution against overreaction but urge monitoring and possible treatment of gravel beds upstream if the problem worsens.

Halton County Apple Crop Seen Steady for Storage Quality
Halton County growers expect about 300 000 bushels of apples this year on roughly 1 500 acres. More than half of the 80 growers are full time commercial, with the rest on smaller plots. Drought may reduce size but not quality or color, and trees favor dwarf varieties for lower costs and easier harvests. Signs of life for drivers and doctors are stressed in closing lines.
