The Press-Dispatch Weather brings out emerald ash borer earlier this year ash borer is emerging about a month ahead of schedule in Indiana because of the ear- ly warm weather, leading a Purdue Extension entomol- ogist to urge homeowners to take steps now to protect their trees. Homeowners who want to The tree-killing emerald protect their ash trees with insecticides need to start ap- plying them as soon as possi- ble, Cliff Sadof said. That is because adult borers typical- ly take flight about the same time that black locust trees bloom—a process which has started as a result of favor- able temperatures for both. "Black locust bloom has several visible symptoms: • Branches showing thin Infested ash trees have foliage at the very top of the trees. • The presence of wood- pecker holes, the result of woodpeckers feeding on EAB larvae under the bark. • Splits in the bark that re- veal curvy trails the insects leave. • D-shaped holes the bor- ers make when they leave the tree. Because the tree- chewing beetle first attacks treetops, the holes often are too high up to see until the tree is nearly dead. The number of ash trees begun to occur in many parts of the state," Sadof said. "Eggs laid by adult bor- ers will produce grubs that start drilling into ash trees in about a month." Indiana residents seek- ing advice should look to the Purdue website http:// www.eabindiana.info. Re- sources are available on how to identify ash trees, determine whether trees are infested and how to take care of the problem them- selves or hire a profession- al applicator. with symptoms in a neigh- borhood usually doubles every year. This means that from the time enough trees are damaged to draw atten- tion to the problem, it takes three to four years for all the remaining ash trees to be killed. "The cost of keeping com- cides to save trees during the initial invasion is much less expensive than removing and replacing trees," Sadof said. "This is because after all the untreated trees have died, most of the remaining beetles starve to death or are killed when feeding on trees treated with insecticide." Although insecticides are the only tool available for ho- meowners, Sadof has been working with the Indiana De- partment of Natural Resourc- es and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Ser- vice for the release of sting- less wasps throughout the state to help kill the beetles in rural areas. The emerald ash borer has munities safe from the limbs that fall from dying trees can be devastating since over 80 percent of trees have die in the last three years of a local invasion," Sadof said. "Most people are surprised to learn that using insecti- Marriage License of 915 W. CR 50S, Peters- burg, son of Mark K. Myles and Molly M. Pride Myles to Rhonda Kay Baer, 42, of 915 W.

Pike County SWCD's Drive to Revive Arbor Day ed on April 27th this year and more than 175 Fourth Grad- ers in Pike County will roll up their sleeves and plant a tree. These kids will be- come members of the Fourth Grade Foresters. The proj- ect's goal is to help revital- ize a remarkable idea ob- servation of Arbor Day in America's schools. Fourth graders at Otwell, Winslow and Petersburg Elementary Schools in Pike County will receive trees to take home and plant. Trees for all coun- ty fourth graders are being sponsored by the Pike Coun- ty Soil & Water Conservation District. Arbor Day will be celebrat- possible because communi- ty business people like the Pike County SWCD covered the cost of each of the indi- vidually packaged evergreen trees, so that there is no cost to the students, the teachers, the school, or the taxpayer," Debra Ersch, Cofounder of the Fourth Grade Foresters Project stated. "It's a won- derful way to show support for the community, educa- tion and the environment." Fourth Grade Foresters "This project is made USA was created to pro- vide a simple and inexpen- sive way for any individual, business or organization to send the 4th Grade students at an elementary school home with a tree of their own to plant and care for. For the Soil & Water Con- servation Districts educa- tion is a critical element. Ed- ucating youth ensures that the next generation will be wise stewards of America's natural resources. The Fourth Grade For- esters project began work- ing with Soil & Water Con- servation Districts in coun- ties across the country in the Spring of 2008. Since that time 191 Conserva- tion Districts distributed 35,002 trees to 617 schools in 22 states with Pike Coun- ty fourth grade students be- ing included in those num- bers! Each fourth grader re- ceives an individually pack- aged 12"-18" evergreen tree seedling packaged by work- ers with disabilities. In today's environment tree planting is even more important than ever. Trees take carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere and clean the air we breathe. Planting trees is a simple, inexpensive and easy way to improve the community. DEMOTTE REALTY where the customer really is still king.
