Treasurer's Report
Troy Downs reported
that $40,000 was invested
in five CDs of $8,000 each
with laddered maturities
of 1,2;3,4 and 5 years.
When the one year CD
matures, another $8,000
CD will be purchased with
a five year matt+rity, as-

need for those funds are
needed at that time. With
that approach, eventually
all CDs will carry a five
year maturity with one of
the five coming due each
year.

are currently ruhning with
$50,000 in the checking ac-

Adjournment
Motion was made by
Protecting Ash Trees
From An Invasive Pest
(NAPS)--There's good
news for homeowners who
have ash trees on their prop-
erty. There is a simple way
to protect this valuable tree.
In addition to creating a
beautiful landscape, the ben-
efit from a mature, healthy
ash tree is about $217 a year
in increased property value,
air quality, cooling in sum-
mer, reduced heating costs
and more, according to the
National Tree Benefit
Calculator.
A simple injection can pro-
tect ash trees from EAB, a
particularly invasive pest.
However, they can be vul-
nerable to what some con-
sider the most devastating
of all invasive insect tree
pests of the last 20 years--
the emerald ash borer (EAB),
a beetle native to Asia that
was introduced to North
America in 2002". EAB lar-
vae live under the bark of the
ash tree and feed on_the tree's
transport tissue, starving the
tree of nutrients.
EAB has already destroyed
tens of millions of trees. In
fact, most trees with EAB die
in a few short years afar the
onset of symptoms.
Fortunately, one particu-
lar trunk injection treatment
from Arborjet, administered
by a professional applicator,
will protect ash trees against
EAB for up to two years, in
many cases even if the trees
are currently under attack.
Professionally applied
trunk injection treatments
cost a fraction of what tree
removal and replacement
does, which can be as much
"as $1,000 per tree.
Homeowners can look for
a number of signs to identify
EAB in ash trees, including
a thinning canopy (upper lay-
ers of leaves), branches
sprouting low on the trunk,
bark that peels eadily with
lines appearing underneath,
small D-shaped holes in the
bark, and increased wood-
pecker damage.

Troy Downs to adjourn the
meeting, seconded by
Darin Schreck. Motion car-
ried. Meeting was ad-
journed at 7:26 p.m.
The next NABC meet-
ing .will be held on
Wednesda35 June 25, at 7
p.m. at the Norwalk High
School Library.
Respectfully Submitted,
