Forest Tent Caterpillar Population is Building
Forest tent caterpillar populations have been rising in some counties since 2007, and that trend is
expected to intensify.
Data suggests forest tent caterpillar populations and the associated defoliation of trees could be
building towards a 2014 or 2015 peak.
The forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria, is a native defoliator of a wide variety of hardwood trees and shrubs. Its range in North America extends from coast to coast and from the tree
line in Canada to the southern states.
These insects feed primarily on the leaves of aspen, birch, oak and basswood trees. The only
hardwood not regularly fed upon is red maple.
Defoliation normally begins in mid-May to late-May and is usually completed by mid- to late-June.
The heavy snowfall and late arrival of spring may delay the egg hatch, but will have little impact
on the survival of eggs laid last year.
Defoliation has little long-term impact on healthy trees, but can result in temporarily slowed
growth. However, if trees are under stress from prolonged drought or have root system damage,
secondary infestations by other pests can further weaken or kill those trees – particularly oaks
and birches.
Outbreaks can result in dramatic swaths of defoliation in areas with abundant aspen, birch, oak
or basswood stands. They occur at intervals of 10 to 16 years and last three to five years. They
begin over large areas simultaneously. Locally, outbreaks normally last two to three years. Widespread outbreaks peaked in 1922, 1937, 1952, 1967, 1978, 1989 and 2001.
Dealing with forest tent caterpillars can be frustrating.
Insecticides containing Bacillus thuringiensis var kurstaki can be effective against forest tent caterpillar defoliation when applied while the caterpillars are small. The Office of the Environment
strongly recommends it over other insecticides because of its environmental and human safety.
Resolve to Save Water!
Everything from fixing the leaks in your house to changing the watering patterns of your lawn can add up to big water
savings. To save water around the house remember to fix water leaks.
The Facts on Leaks:
·
Leaks can account for, on average, 10,000 gallons of water wasted in the home every year, which is enough to fill a
backyard swimming pool.
·
The amount of water leaked from U.S. homes could exceed more than 1 trillion gallons per year. That's equivalent
to the annual water use of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami combined.
·
·
Ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day.
·
·
Fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners more than 10 percent on their water bills.
·
Common types of leaks found in the home include leaking toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and other leaking
valves. All are easily correctable.
Keep your home leak-free by repairing dripping faucets, toilet valves, and showerheads. In most cases, fixture replacement parts don't require a major investment and can be installed by do-it-yourselfers.
The vast majority of leaks can be eliminated after retrofitting a household with new WaterSense labeled fixtures and
other high-efficiency appliances.
Together we can stand up for water by making simple changes at home. For more information and to calculate your water savings check out the website www.epa.gov/watersense/

BISHOP WHIPPLE MISSION News and Notes
The Season after Pentecost
The Season After Pentecost begins on the day after Pentecost, May 20, 2013. In the Episcopal Church, it
ends on the Saturday before the First Sunday of Advent, November 13, 2013.
The Season After Pentecost is essentially the part of the year that is left over after everything has been accounted for such as Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, and Easter. The name of this season varies widely
from church to church—it can be called Kingdomtide, Dominiontide, or Ordinary Time. In most churches,
the general theme of the Bible readings and sermons concerns the church’s mission in the world.
June 12: Enmegahbowh, Priest and Missionary
The Rev. John Johnson Enmegahbowh, an Odawa (Ottawa) Indian from Canada, was raised in the Midewiwin traditional healing way
of his grandfather and the Christian religion of his mother. He came into the United States as a Methodist missionary in 1832. While working among the Ojibwa at Gull Lake he met and married Biwabikogeshigequay (Iron Sky Woman) who took the name of Charlotte at her
baptism.
At one point Enmegahbowh attempted to abandon missionary work and return to Canada but the boat was turned back by storms on
Lake Superior, providing him a vision: "Here Mr. Jonah came before me and said: ‘Ah my friend Enmegahbowh, I know you. You are a
fugitive. You have sinned and disobeyed God. Instead of going to the city of Nineveh, where God sent you to spread His word to the people, you started to go, and then turned aside. You are now on your way to the city of Tarshish...’."
Enmegahbowh decided to stay and work among his wife's people. He invited The Rev. James Lloyd Breck to Gull Lake where together
they founded St. Columba's mission in 1852. The mission was later moved to White Earth, where Enmegahbowh served until his death.
Unwelcome for a time among some Ojibwa groups because he warned the community at Fort Ripley about the 1862 uprising, Enmegahbowh was consistent as a man of peace, inspiring the Waubanaquot (Chief White Cloud) mission which obtained a lasting peace
between the Ojibwa and Dakota peoples.
