PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — April 25, 2012 — Page 2City asks citizens for help in fighting the Emerald Ash BorerDear Perrysburg Resident,By now I’m sure you have heard about the Emerald AshBorer (EAB) and the devastating affect it has had onour Ash Trees. Cities in Ohio and Michigan affected bythe borer have taken numerous approaches to dealingwith the problem, most which involve cutting the treedown. We are entering our sixth year of treating the Ashtrees in our parks and right-of-ways. I will report withguarded optimism that many of the healthy trees we hadtreated last year are back and showing no signs of infestation.The trees that were already affected are holdingtheir own and may recover with continued treatments.There will, of course, be some loss of trees that weretoo far gone when we started treatments.Currently, all 88 Ohio counties are included in the quarantinezone established by the ODNR. In the quarantinezone, Ash trees will not be removed and Ash woodcan be moved freely within the zone. No Ash wood,however, may leave the zone. What this means is thatany eradication (removal) or treatment efforts are up toyou if on your property and the City of Perrysburg ifwithin the right-of-way. We do not have numbers forAsh trees located on private property but Ash treesaccount for 12% of our urban street trees or roughly1000 trees. Most of our city parks have numerous Ashtrees.The EAB is in Perrysburg and will continue to affectour trees. Once a tree is infected, if untreated, it takesonly three years for the tree to die.The purpose of this letter is to ask for your help in fightingthe EAB. The Perrysburg Street Tree Commissiondoes not believe the answer to the problem is cuttingdown all Ash trees as many communities have. Everyyear there are advances made in pesticides that couldchange the course of how the EAB is treated. Currently,there are pesticides that kill the EAB and have beenproven effective in trees already infected. As with anyproduct of this kind, there is no guarantee that it will be100% effective but recent history has shown that cuttingthe trees down is not the answer to stopping the spreadof the EAB.We will continue treating the trees located in our cityparks, right-of-ways and boulevards but ask your helpin treating the trees located on your private property. Ifa tree dies in the right-of-way, the City will remove it, ifa tree dies on private property, removal will be yourresponsibility. There is a WSOS grant available toeveryone regardless of income. Details and informationabout this program are included in the Western LakeErie Basin EAB Ash Tree Removal Program for Residentsof Wood County section of this article.There are two ways you can help preserve your Ashtrees and maintain the beauty of what at one time wasconsidered the perfect street tree. Many tree and lawnservices are now offering treatment for the EAB. If youwould decide to go this route, please check the company’scredentials and experience to be assured you aregetting what you pay for. You can easily treat the treesyourself at a minimal cost. The most widely used chemicalsare readily available at most retail stores that dealwith lawn and garden supplies. The normal recommendeddosage is 1 ounce of chemical for each inch ofcircumference. You can treat a tree with a 32 inch circumferenceyourself for about $20.00. This sameamount would treat two or three smaller trees. Many ofthese products are systemic and can be mixed withwater and poured around the base of the tree. They notonly protect against the EAB but many of the 28 nativeborers in our area. The trees will require yearly applicationswith the optimum time being in April and May.The City of Perrysburg is in the process of systematicallyremoving the dead or dying trees in the parks andright-of-ways before they pose a threat to our citizens.It is a strong recommendation that if you do have a deadAsh tree on your property that it be removed as quicklyas possible. There are numerous local tree companiesthat will be happy to assess your tree and give a quotefor removal. The tree companies will tell you that thelonger the tree is dead the more dangerous and expensiveit is to remove.We need to work together and join as partners to preservethe beauty of our community. Treating the treeswill consume a great deal of our time but cutting downand replacing them is the alternative. In the case of alarge tree, the expense of cutting it down will be highand the beauty and enjoyment will be lost forever. Thisis something you simply can’t replace.If you have trees in your tree lawn, watch for an orangepaint mark. This indicates two things to you; the tree isindeed an Ash tree and the City has treated the tree.Thank you in advance for your cooperation and pleasecall the Perrysburg Parks Bureau, Monday through Fridaybetween the hours of 7:00 and 3:30 at 419-872-8020 for any further information or to have your privatetree identified.Sincerely,Jon G.

These materials can move freely within, but cannot leave, contiguous quarantinedareas. (See Rule 901:5-56-03). Note: A federal quarantine prohibits the movement of ash tree materialsand hardwood firewood out of the state of Ohio without federal certification. This does not changeOhio's quarantine, which still makes it illegal to take ash tree materials and hardwood firewood out ofinfested counties.• Businesses or individuals wanting to move or accept ash trees, parts of an ash tree, or hardwood firewoodfrom quarantined areas must first have an ODA compliance agreement. These signed agreements dictatehandling practices to allow quarantined materials to move outside the quarantine area, but in a manner thatdoes not risk continued spread of EAB.Product DescriptionsHomeowner Guide to Emerald Ash Borer TreatmentsBayer Advanced Garden Tree and Shrub InsectControl is a systemic insecticide applied as a soildrench around the base of a tree. There are severalBayer Advanced Garden products — be sure to purchasethe one with “Tree and Shrub” in large print onthe label and imidacloprid as the active ingredient.Label instructions say to use 1 ounce of the insecticidefor every inch of distance around the tree trunk (circumference).Applications should be made in May orearly June. This product is available at most local hardwareand garden stores. More information about theproduct is available at www.bayeradvanced.com.Treatment Recommendations• Research results indicate that the soil drenchprovides excellent protection for small ash trees(less than 6 inches in diameter at breast height) inthe first year following treatment, but larger treesmay require two years of treatment before they areprotected. Therefore, it is important to begin treatinglarge trees before they become infested.Treatment must continue each year.MICHIGAN STATEU N I V E R S I T YEXTENSIONMSU is an affirmative-action, equal-opportunity employer.

Revised - 3:07However, surface layers oforganic matter, such asmulch or leaf litter, canbind the insecticide andreduce uptake. Beforeapplying soil drenches, itis important to remove orpull back any mulch ordead leaves so the insecticidesolution is poureddirectly on the mineralsoil.Merit formulations canalso be applied as soilinjections, which requirespecial equipment, butoffer the advantage ofplacing the insecticidedirectly in the root zone.Injections should be madeonly deep enough (2-3inches) to place the insecticideunder the turf ormulch layer. Soil injectionscan be made either at thebase of the trunk or on agrid pattern extending tothe edge of the canopy.Recent studies have foundthat soil injections madeimmediately adjacent tothe trunk (within 6-18inches) are more effectivethan those made on a gridpattern under the canopy.Density of fine roots isvery high at the base of thetrunk and declines quicklyas you move away fromthe tree because large radialroots diverge like spokeson a wheel prior to branchinginto smaller roots thatultimately terminate infeeder roots. This patternof root distribution can beclearly observed on treesthat have been recentlyuprooted in a storm, orwhen taking soil coresunder the canopy, many ofwhich will be devoid offine roots.Optimal timing for Imidaclopridsoil injectionsand drenches is early tolate May, which allows the4-6 weeks that are necessaryfor uptake and distributionof the insecticidebefore larvae begin toestablish in mid- to lateJune. One study with smalltrees indicates that Imidaclopridsoil drenches canalso be applied successfullyin the fall.Recent studies suggestthat for larger trees, Imidaclopridsoil drenches mayhave to be applied twoyears in a row beforeinsecticide residues withinthe tree are high enough toprovide dependable control.Ideally, treatmentsshould begin just beforethe tree is attacked or inEric Rebek, MSUApplication of soil drench around tree base.• At sites where infested ash trees have been treatedwith a soil drench for 3 years, about half of the treessurvived and look very healthy; the other half havedied. These trees were heavily infested when the testbegan. Better results are possible if treatments begina year or two earlier.• Note: Homeowners may also contact tree care professionalsto treat their trees. Professionals haveaccess to some products that are not available tohomeowners. Michigan State University does notendorse the insecticide products discussed in thebulletin over other options.

Studies areunderway to determinehow much injury a tree cansustain before systemicinsecticide treatments arerendered ineffective.Trunk Applied SystemicInsecticidesSeveral systemic insecticidescan be injected orimplanted directly into thetrunk of the tree. Some formulationsare applied byprofessionals, while othersare available to homeowners.Imidacloprid is availablein several professionaluse formulations that areinjected directly into thetrunk using various applicationsystems. Theseinclude Mauget Imicide®micro-injection capsules;PointerTM, which isinjected using theArborsystems WedgleTMDirect-InjectTM injectorsystem; and IMA-jet®,which is injected usingvarious ArborjetTM injectionsystems.Another insecticideoption is Mauget Inject-A-Cide B® micro-injectioncapsules, which containBidrin® (dicrotophos).Systemic trunk implantsavailable for purchase andapplication by homeownersinclude ACECAP® 97Systemic Insecticide TreeImplants and Bonide®Systemic Insecticide Bullets,both of which containacephate as the activeingredient. Both productsare applied by insertinginsecticide-containing capsulesinto holes drilled inbase of the tree trunk.Trunk injections andimplants have the advantageof being absorbed bythe tree more quickly thansoil applications, and canbe applied where soil treatmentsmay not be practicalor effective, includingtrees growing on excessivelywet, compacted, orrestricted soil environments.However, trunkinjections and implants doinjure the trunk, whichmay cause long-term damage,especially if treatmentsare applied annually.The optimal timing oftrunk injections andimplants is between lateMay and late June. Studieshave shown that Inject-A-Cide B injections made aslate as August can killinsects in the tree,although substantial feedingdamage will havealready been done. If theoption exists, applicationsshould be made earlier toprevent larval establishment.Most efficient uptake oftrunk-injected insecticidesoccurs when trees areactively transpiring. Bestresults will be obtainedwhen injections are madeon sunny days in the morningwhen good soil moistureconditions prevail.Uptake will be slow oncloudy days, during hotafternoons, and when thesoil is dry.Protective Cover SpraysThe objectives of protectivebark cover spraysare to kill newly hatchedlarvae on the bark beforethey can enter the tree, anddepending on the label,adults as they feed onfoliage prior to layingeggs. Products that havebeen evaluated as coversprays for control of EABinclude OnyxTM (bifenthrin),Tempo®(cyfluthrin), Sevin® SL(carbaryl), Orthene®(acephate), and Botani-Gard® (contains spores ofthe insect-infecting fungusBeauveria bassiana). Someof these have been muchmore effective than othersin university trials (discussedbelow).Protective cover spraysare designed to preventinfestations and must betimed precisely to be effective.Because protectiveresidues must be presenton the bark before eggshatch to prevent infestation,they must be timed tocoincide with adult emergenceand oviposition,which is difficult to monitorbecause there are noeffective pheromone trapsfor EAB. However, firstemergence of EAB adultscorresponds closely withfull bloom of black locust(Robinia psuedoacacia),which can serve as a usefulphenological indicator foraccurately timing applications.Best results withcover sprays have beenobtained when two applicationsare made, with thefirst as black locust reachesfull bloom (late May innorthwest Ohio), and thesecond four weeks later(late June).

Symptomsusually start before age3 and can cause delays orproblems in many differentskills that develop from infancyto adulthood.”The NIH said autism, alifelong condition, is a spectrumdisorder because “differentpeople with autism canhave very different symptoms.”Health care providersthink of autism as a “spectrum”disorder, a group ofdisorders with similar features.One person may havemild symptoms, while anothermay have serious symptoms.But both have anautism spectrum disorder.Kim Renner, programmanager for PromedicaToledo’s Autism Early LearningProgram Center, saidthere are certain red flags parentswill notice. Those include:•No big smiles or otherwarm, joyful expressions bysix months;•No back and forth sharingof sounds, smiles or facialexpressions by nine months;•No back and forth gestures(pointing, showing,reaching, waving) and nobabbling by 12 months;•No words by 16 months;•No two-word meaningfulphrases (without imitating orrepeating) by 24 months, and•Any loss of speech or socialskills at any age.Parents who suspect theirchildren may be autisticshould seek help early, saidMs. Renner.“Reliable diagnosis cannow be made as early as 12months,” she pointed out,adding that regardless of theseverity, the earlier the diagnosis,the better the outcomewith early learning treatment.The program manager understandswhat parents gothrough when they discover achild has autism and knowswhat lies ahead for these families.“As the parent of a childwith autism, I understandfirsthand the importance andbenefits of early diagnosisand treatment.”The autism center has aclinical team with intensivetraining in applied behavioranalysis, a science that usesbehavioral techniques toteach children basic and complexskills.When children arebrought into the center, theyare evaluated to discern theirlevel of development.Children then begin meetingone-on-one with a specialist.Certain goals are setfor each child, such as groupinteraction or appropriate responses,and as they meetthose goals, children progressfrom a one-on-one setting totwo children with two adults.As children improve inone skill area or another, specialistspull back their supportsystem.“The goal is to have themprepared to enter kindergartenin a regular class setting,”said Ms. Renner,adding that some may not beready and require more specializededucational settings.The center’s team of clinicianswork with children fivedays a week from 9 a.m. to 3p.m.They concentrate on language,and social skills, behavioralmanagement andtoilet training, which can be achallenge for autistic children.Perhaps one fundamentaldifference from general educationis that children withautism are brought along atPerrysburg Kitchens and More221 Louisiana Ave., Perrysburg Ph: 419-873-6116www.perrysburgkitchensandmore.comHours: Mon/Tues/Wed/Fri-9-5; Thur-10-8; Sat-10-3, Closed SundayVisit our experienced designers for all your remodeling needs.•Cabinets •Countertops •Cabinet Hardware •Cultured Stone •Flooring•Closet systems •Fireplaces •Doors & Trim•Complete Installation •Interior Design •Project Development•New/Remodel/Additions •Home Theater/TechnologyMaking Your Vision a RealityPERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — April 25, 2012 — Page 11Early learning treatment program shows promise for childrenFrank golf outing set for May 19Frank ElementarySchool’s fourth annual CaddyshackClassic will be heldMay 19, at Bedford HillsGolf Club.

Revelation: MajorPaintings by Jules Olitskibrings together more than 30significant paintings from publicand private collections,highlighting important periodsand themes of Olitski’s career.“This exhibition re-examinesOlitski’s entire career, notjust the early years thatbrought him to public attention.Here we can see why heis to be appreciated as one ofAmerica’s most outstandingmodern painters,” said BrianKennedy, director of the museum.The traveling exhibitionwas organized by the KemperMuseum of Contemporary Artin Kansas City, Missouri. Mostrecently shown at the Museumof Fine Arts in Houston, Texas,the exhibition will be on displayin TMA’s CanadayGallery from May 31 throughAugust 26. Art historians E. A.Carmean Jr., Alison de LimaGreene and Karen Wilkin curatedthe show, which will latergo to the American UniversityMuseum at the Katzen ArtsCenter in Washington, D.C.Born in Russia, Olitski(1922–2007) moved to theUnited States as a child. Hefirst received international acclaimas a maverick ColorField painter. The so-calledColor Field painters were agroup of highly regardedartists in the 1950s and 1960semploying intense color in abstractformats as the carrier ofemotional meaning. It was apivotal time for Olitski, whosepaintings of that period featuredbold colors and flatgraphic shapes. He continuedto experiment with techniquesand processes during the remainderof his career.“Olitski’s sweeping andgrand shapes offered a differenttype of pictorial drama thanthat of his many colleaguesand led to his experiments withvery large fields of near-monochromecolor,” said Mr.Kennedy. “These often enormouspaintings became knownas his landmark Spray paintings,which are at once minimalyet complex in theirgradations and subtle shifts inhue.”Later, in his Baroque andHigh Baroque paintings–socalledbecause of their lushcolors and surfaces–Olitski accentuatedphysicality as an expressiveelement. Though hispaintings were staunchly abstract,Olitski looked to the OldMasters of the Renaissance,the Baroque and the DutchGold Age “Olitski was a greatadmirer of Rembrandt and ElGreco and they influenced hiswork,” said Mr. Kennedy.In his last works, Olitski introducedabstract forms andshapes that narrates on bothspiritually charged and classicalthemes.The exhibition containsworks spanning five decadesand is arranged in groupingsfrom each period: Stain paintings,Spray paintings, Baroquepaintings, High Baroque paintingsand the Late paintings.Mr. Kennedy noted thatOlitski painted through thenight, often not ending untildaybreak. Lighting in theCanaday Gallery for this exhibitionevokes the atmospherein which the painter worked.Olitski had his first solo exhibitionin New York in 1958,and in 1963 began teaching atBennington College in Vermont.There he became closefriends and exchanged ideaswith Color Field painter KennethNoland as well as artistsDavid Smith, Robert Motherwell,Helen Frankenthaler andAnthony Caro.Olitski, along withFrankenthaler and artists RoyLichtenstein and EllsworthKelly, represented the UnitedStates in the 33rd Venice Biennalein 1966. The followingyear Olitski won the CorcoranGold Medal and William A.Clark Award at the 30th BiennialExhibition of ContemporaryPainters at the CorcoranGallery of Art in Washington,D.C. Since then his workshave appeared in hundreds ofexhibitions and in collectionsaround the world.The Toledo showing ofRevelation: Major Paintingsby Jules Olitski is made possibleby members of the ToledoMuseum of Art and sponsoredin part by Key Bank.
