Tree Plagiarism

Harry Hutchins and John Latimer are in big, big trouble! Northern Observer sources report that Sleeping Bear Press of Ann Arbor, Michigan are suing KAXE Phenology and Talk On the Wild Side hosts Latimer and Hutchins for writing plagiarism. Evidence proves that John and Harry stole chapters from Barnes and Wagner's new book Michigan Trees and claimed to write their own book using the same wording. "This type of activity is unacceptable and we tend to pursue this lawsuit no mater what it costs," said author Barry Barnes. Click here to see stolen chapters.

Latimer Arrested!

John was arrested yesterday afternoon from his mail route for falsifying Phenology notes for the past 25 years. "In a way, I'm kind of relieved. This is something I've been carrying around for a long time. I'd like to apologize to all those Phenologists out there who I have let down," said Latimer. "I do like watching reality TV that involves nature, that's close enough, isn't it?"
