Auoust 18. 1999 Extension notes Keeping your aspen tree i by Gyde Hurst Quaking aspen seems to be very ; palatable toa numberofinsects and or ' course some larger animals also find it ; totheirliking. I Every now and then I get a call ; about borer holes in aspen. In most. cases this is the poplar borer. Aspen of course is a poplar. It is properly known as Populus tremuloides. Characteristic of the poplar borer J are accumulations of frass (sawdust- like material) that the borer larvae eject ! from slits in the bark as it feeds and a black varnish-lik- e stain below these holes. j j This borer seems to be most success- -' ful in trees that are under stress. Stress I may be caused by any of several rea-- I sons such as drought, nearby con-- j struction, injuries caused by other insects or human or other animal j C activities. I Here in the valley aspens are gener' al ly under stress m uch of the ti me. The climate here is more arid than in the trees native habitats. Also, the way we treat aspen in our yards is quite different than in the mountains. Yellow aspens that are so common in the valley are seldom seen in the mountains. This is an iron deficiency that is usually brought on by excess water. Soil type, soil pH, Soilcompactionand other insults also stress the trees. The adult poplar borer is a gray beetle with a central yellow strip on the thorax and fine yellow and black stippling on the wing covers. It is about and inch or perhaps a little more long. The larvae that do the boring in the tree is yellowish and when mature may be inch long. The larvae may spend three years inside the tree tunneling around and honey-comthe trunk or branch. Such weakened trees may break off hole-fre- e works well is a preventive spray of a borer control during July and August. That means an application could be made now if you have the stain and frass accumulation symptoms. You might also want to make a note on the December sheet of your calendar to note on July of next year to apply spray if needed. There are always so many possibilities for injuries toour landscape plants that if we tried to prevent every one by plants we spraying would alwaysbe applying some kind of chemical to something in the yard. The result of such activities often ends up being the need to spray for other pests that become problems because in trying to kill all potential threats we have also killed the beneficial insects that keep many pests under control without our even knowing it. For this reason we usually dont apply preventive sprays to plants unless research and economics has shown that there is a great advantage to do coas in the case of codling moth on apples. In the case of the poplar borer, if preventive sprays are applied to trees when the symptoms ae' first seen, and if we are looking at our trees often, we can probably prevent reinfestation and infestation of nearby trees. Colorado State Univ. Extension Bulletin 506A notes that the adults chew pits in the bark in which the eggs are inserted and g most occurs in the middle of trees near areas of existing infestations. They also suggest that injecting borer crystals (paradichloroben-ene- ) or insect parasitic nematodes (Steinernemas.) into active holes rnav give partial control of the larvae. The most important thing you can do is to keep your trees healthy. Dont overwater, apply a little fertilizer occasional ly or when you fertilize the lawn, supplement iron if necessary and control scale if needed. For more information call Clyde Hurst, your Utah State University Ex2 x 275. tension Agent, at egg-layin- 1 during high winds. The adult beetles may be present around affected trees from mid June to early fall. Mating occurs and egg laying takes place in July and August. Because of the long-lif- e cycle, control is difficult.

Because of increases in services. numbers of clients served, and the inadequacy of area space, New Hon- zons is in need of a larger shelter. Property has been purchased and architectural plans have been draw n for a new shelter. Plans for the facility provide sleeping space for 24 individuals and six babies (current shelter has capacity for 6 individuals and six babies). The new building will have seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, a large kitchen, counseling rooms, childrens play area, and a family room. This facil ity will al low for f uture grow th with a total square footage of 4104 square feet. For reasons of cost efficiency, a Childrens Justice Center (CJC) wi II be built as part of the shelter, but will have its own entrance and parking, facilities, separate from the shelter. The CJC will consist of two interview rooms, a waiting room, office spaed, ' and a video equipment room. Total square footage is 1500 square feet. The Childrens Justice Center concept emerged in Utah in 1990. CJCs 1 are homelike facilities which serve chil- dren and families who are experiencing the crisis and chaos that comes with the disclosure of significant physical or sexual abuse of a child. Children do not stay overnight in these facilities, rather, CJCs are designed to help children feel safe and comfortable while being interviewed so that they may begin todcal with the dilfi-- ' cult and often frightening issues that surround the abuse. The atmosphere ( cult for the cKild and the family. The investigation is often confusing and frightening tochildren and parents alike. The focus and function of the Children's Justice Center is to reduce the trauma of the child abuse investigation and help the child feel safe to reveal the truth. Helping the process (low smoothly, with as little discomfort to the child as possible, is a major concern of a Childiens Justice Center. At the present time, there are twelve CJCs in Utah, but none are located in the area, CJCs can be found in Price, Farmington. Roosevelt, .Tooele, St. George. Ogden, Provo. Moab, Salt Lake City. Logan, West Jordan, and Vernal. The total cost of the new Shelter Childrens Justice Center will be about $630,000. Grants have been written to meet some of the costs, but local fundraising will also have to be done. We are hopeful that the public will be generous with its time and money in this effort. The new center is an opportunity for communities in the area to form a partnership of caring to children and their families who have been hurt by abuse.

The goals of a Children's Justice Center are: to increase the effectiveness of protecting children; reduce trauma; and help children and nonoffending family members recover from adifficultexperience. The presence of a CJC in a community can make the .investigation any resulting court proceedings much easier for the child and the family. Traditionally, investigation of child sexual abuse required multiple interviews of the child victim by police, soeial services, medical personnel, psychologists, and attorneys. It has been uncommon forchildren who have experienced serious abuse to be interviewed anywhere from eight to twelve times. The presence of a CJC can reduce this number to one or two interviews. The interview is recorded on video tape. An investigation involving allegations of child abuse can be very diffi- - J- ty and the interview room looks much like a child's bedroom in a private home. Children visit the center while investigators meet with them. A ischild-friendl- Jim Olsen vividly remember some things from the First and Second Grade. One of them is getting my nose broken by a baseball bat while playing catcher during recess. Another event I remember from that period of time are drills we practiced. A11 alarm would sound, and we would be instructed to either jump under a desk - in case of an earthquake, or we would be marched downstairs into a tunnel-lik- e cavern that was supposed to protect us in case of an air attack, or worse, an atom bomb from Russia. Remember, this is during the late 50s when Mother Russia was a formidable power. I remember bringing a cleaned-ou- t Clorox bottle for w ater and 50 cents tor a small box of Ritz Crackers. (I wonder what ever happened to all those Clorox boitles and crackers.) We were told that we would be safe in case of trouble. I remember a fellow student asking our teacher if we needed to worry about hurricanes. We were told, No, you need to li v e by the ocean for a hurricane to happen." Another asked What do we do in case of a tornado? You dont have to worry about tornados either. We have mountains on both sides of our valley, a tornado could never happen in Salt Lake. Another childhood myth has been shattered. No Santa Claus, no Easter Bunny, No pot at the end of the rainbow. and now I have learned that Salt I ake Citv can have a tornado. Brent Jensen was an eye witness to the whole thing. He reported that the wind blew, the rain was incredible, the car rocked back and forth, and cars were blown every where. He turned on the radio and heard the call Dont do into this part of downtown. Too late, he was there in the middle of it.
