Pike Ave., Petersburg Farm Bureau Insurance gives back Indiana Farm Bureau In- surance will give back more than $ 8 million in auto in- surance premiums to Hoo- sier clients. The company will provide clients premi- um refunds of $20 per eli- gible vehicle insured. "With fewer people on the road during pandem- ic-driven, stay-at-home or- ders, we felt it was only right to refund some of our clients' personal auto poli- cy premium dollars," said Kevin Murphy, senior vice- president, property and ca- sualty division. "Our Farm Bureau family made a com- mitment to protect your family, and we remain ded- icated to that vision—even during this unprecedented pandemic." Indiana Farm Bureau In- surance (IFBI) provides this relief to their clients during these unique times. The amount of relief each client receives will be di- rectly proportional to the number of vehicles they in- sure with Indiana Farm Bu- reau Insurance. For exam- ple, if a client has four eligi- ble personal autos insured with IFBI, they will receive $ 80. This action comes after Indiana Department of In- surance (IDOI) announced a 60 -day moratorium on in- surance policy cancella- tions for nonpayment of premium and assessment of late fees for any policy- holder in Indiana. Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance has implemented premium due date extensions from March 19, 2020, to May 18, 2020, for clients experienc- ing hardship as a result of COVID-19.The premium refunds will be distribut- ed to clients automatically by check or EF T, depend- ing upon how they current- ly make payments; no addi- tional action is necessary. Invasion of the Callery Pears One of the first signs of spring are the white blos- soms of Callery pears (Py- rus calleryana). The first cultivated variety, the Brad- ford Pear, was promoted to the horticultural industry in the early 1960s. It was thought to be ideal – beau- tiful flowers, small compact shape, and fast growing. You've all seen them, lining driveways and city streets. The first cultivars did not self-pollinate and were con- sidered sterile. In time, dis- appointment grew. Home- owners discovered they eas- ily split, were often damaged in storms, and had a short lifespan of 25 to 30 years. Additional cultivars such as Capital, Cleveland Select, and Aristocrat, addressed some of those issues. But this is when the trouble be- gan. With multiple cultivars planted in the same neigh- borhoods, the trees were now able to produce fer- tile fruit. Birds eat the fruit then spread the seeds when defecating. Seeds wide- ly spread by birds allowed the offspring to become ag- gressive invaders overtak- ing open pastures, road- sides, fence rows, and even forests. They spread quick- ly and typically form dense thickets. Why is this a problem you may ask. The simple an- swer is they choke out na- tive plants (grasses, flow- ers, shrubs, and tree seed- lings) resulting in reduced food and habitat for native insects, birds and butter- flies. Many of these are pol- linators that we rely on for food or crop production such as apples, berries, alfalfa, melon, squash and tomato. If you are a farmer or wood- land owner, now you've got the additional task and ex- pense of controlling them to be able to maintain your live- lihood. The best practice is to not plant these trees to be- gin with. There are many great native alternatives in- cluding eastern redbud, ser- viceberry, and dogwood. A great resource to find na- tives is www.growindianan- atives.org. If you already have them, either planted or escaped invaders, they can be con- trolled by cutting and apply- ing herbicide to the stump. Since these trees are pro- lific root and stump sprout- ers, cutting or brush-hog- ging alone will only lead to more stems. For more infor- mation on control methods visit https://mdc.mo.gov/ sites/default/files/down- loads/callerypearinvasive. pdf . Most importantly, help spread the word in your community about the eco- logical and economical im- pacts of this tree. If you need help with iden- tification and control, you can contact the Daviess- Martin Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) at daviessmartin. cisma@gmail.com or visit the group's Facebook page. The Daviess-Martin CIS - MA is a grassroots partner- ship formed with the goal of managing invasive species across ownership boundar- ies, supported in part by lo- cal Soil and Water Conser- vation Districts and a Clean Water Indiana grant. State awards scholarships to future teachers The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has awarded 200 scholarships to the fourth class of Next Gen- eration Hoosier Educators. Selected through a com- petitive process based on academic achievement and other factors, recipients will receive $7,500 annually (up to $ 30,000 total) for commit- ting to teach in Indiana for at least five years after gradu- ating college. A total of 367 students ap- plied for the 2020 -21 Next Generation Hoosier Educa- tors Scholarship, with ap- plications from 213 high schools in 82 of Indiana's 92 counties.

Wednesday's storm did damage throughout the local area, including trees down north of Spruce and Knox streets, on Knox Road just outside the Pe- tersburg City line.
