Show Wednesday, April 28, 1999 e Nephi, Utah inw8-ffo- 8 CdSlaJO LASeeCDGRRSF u u The Cricket and Grasshopper Action Committee has cleared the way for the immediate poison baiting of Mormon crickets in Utah following the groups meeting, April 15, 1999. The committee designated County USU Extension Agents and County Commissions as local contact points to initiate the insect control. Plant Industry Director, and Committee Chair, Dick Wilson, noted that the limited amount of bait may not be adequate to treat all infested areas in Utah this year. The public is requested to report any sittings of crickets or grasshoppers, or to make a request for insect control, to their County Extension Office or County Commission Office. County extension agents will then coordinate a verification survey to determine what action to take. If you have crickets on your property and wish to treat them oD yourself you are advised to: Contact your county extension agent for assistance in purchasing bait and for control methods. Follow bait label instructions application method and rates.

Cool Communities strategies include the strategic planting of drought tolerant trees, shrubs and ground covers and the use of highly reflective materials on rooftops, buildings, parking lots and street surfaces. These strategies reduce summertime heat in cities, cut electricity consumption, improve aesthetics and may reduce the development of ground layer ozone summertime smog. Cool Communities seeks to curb the urban heat island phenomenon that occurs when urban areas accumulate greater amounts , of heat than their rural suroundipgs. Two factors that play a role in the occurrence of urban heat islands are the decrease of trees and native vegetation and the presence of dark, heat absorbing surfaces. Scientists believe that dark, unshaded surfaces on streets, parking Iris and rooftops retain excessive heat from sunlight during the day. This raises the ambient air temperature, contributing to development of ground-laye- r light-colore- d, ozone or smog. In addition to using shingles and reflective rooftop materials on your home or business, trees should be positioned strategically light-colore- d xStafe Briefs. . . grasshoppers.
