Emerald Ash Borer –The Little Bug That’s a Big Problem

School’s Open –Be Safe!A new school year has started. Please besure to keep an eye out for children and useextra caution when schoolchildren are pre-

sent. Children on their way to school areoften too excited to remember safety rules.Be sure to follow the lower speed limits. Cellphone use is prohibited in school zones.Never text and drive. Obey school crossingguards and stop for school buses. The PoliceDepartment will actively enforce these regu-lations.

Let’s work together to ensure a safe schoolyear!

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a non-nativepest that has caused significant damage toour country’s natural resources. EAB aregreen metallic-looking beetles. The adults

nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage. The larvae feed on the inner bark of the ashtrees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. Telltale signs of EABinfestation include loss of tree canopy, anunusual number of suckers along the tree trunk with fairly large leaves, and increased woodpecker activity.

Since first being identified in 2002, EAB is responsible for the destruction of tens of millions of ash trees in 15states in the Midwest and Northeast. Like zebra mussels in Lake Michigan or Asian carp in our rivers, oncthey have established themselves, little can be done to halt their destruction.

EAB in Streamwood The EAB was first discovered in Illinois in July, 2006. Since that time, the borer has spread to a large portionof the state. The Emerald Ash Borer was first confirmed on the north side of Streamwood by the Illinoi

Department of Agriculture in July, 2010. They are now established throughout the Village.

What is the Village doing about EAB?Streamwood entered into an EAB Compliance Agreement with the Department of Agriculture. This requires theVillage to take all necessary precautions to minimize and control the spread of EAB. The Village also adopted plan to mitigate the damage the EAB will have on our urban forest. The plan includes removing and replacingpublic trees, increasing street tree diversification, and educating our residents on the EAB.

As ash trees succumb to the pest, the trees become unsightly and hazardous. Trees in poor condition areremoved first. Up to 20% of ash trees will be removed annually, enabling the Village to phase out ashtrees over a roughly five-year period. Ash trees in good condition will not be removed unless necessaryand not until later years of this process. (cont. on page 3)

Emerald Ash Borers are gremetallic-looking beetles.Larva burrow through the tree

feeding on the inner bark and starving the tree of nutrients.

When trees are first infested,they will have bare branches near the top of the canopy,but seem fine otherwise.

As the larvae starve the tree of water and food,the canopy dies.

Trees that have succumbed to the pest are hazardous and marked with pink dots for removal.

A telltale sign of EAB infetation is large leafy suckat the tree base.

Message From The Village President

Sincerely,

EAB: Little Bug That’s a Big Problem(cont. from page 1) The Village has already removed approximately 600 ash trees since 2011, andreplaced 450 of the removed trees with a wider diversity of tree species. Sometrees have been treated but there are many factors to consider in making thatdecision. First and foremost is the health of the tree, followed by the level of infes-tation, size, and density of ash trees in the neighborhood. Cost is another factor.

In July, 2013, the Village conducted a street tree inventory. It found that about

2,500 or 27% of the Village’s street trees are ash, and that roughly 70% of thesetrees are infested. Due to the 2012 drought, the Forestry Division also found thatinfested ash trees are declining at a much greater rate than in previous years.

Our current removal plan, based on known conditions, is to remove 700 treesper year from 2013-2015, and 400 trees in 2016. Trees in the area with largepink dots are scheduled for removal in 2013. The Village has entered into a con-tract with Kramer Tree Service to help Public Works remove street trees. They arealso willing to assist homeowners with tree removal.

Our proposed reforestation plan is to plant approximately 500 trees per yearover the next 5 years. Species diversity will remain a planting objective, as will location. This ensures that not all one kind of tree is planted in one area.

This better protects our community’s trees in the future. Planting will occur inthe fall when the trees are dormant.

What Can Residents Do? There may be many thousands of large and small ash trees on private property. Noreliable inventory exists, and ash density varies by neighborhood. First and fore-most, do not transport firewood! Most of Northeastern Illinois is under EAB quaran-tine including Cook and DuPage Counties. EAB quarantine restricts transporting theEAB or ash products, including ash firewood, outside of the quarantine area.

If you have ash trees on private property, the Village suggests:

1. Monitor the EAB’s movements. How is your tree doing? Are therenumerous suckers at the base? Is the top canopy gone?

2. Decide whether to treat, remove or retain. The decision to treat,remove or retain trees rests with the property owner. There are manyvariables to evaluate including tree size, location, and condition; access to thetree; potential targets should the tree fail; and other factors.

3. Consider effect of trees on adjacent properties. The Village willenforce the Code should it receive complaints about hazardous private trees.Private trees that are a threat to private property will be inspected ascomplaints are received.

4. Contact an Arborist. Residents might wish to contact an ISA CertifiedArborist in the event that ash evaluation, treatment, or removal is desired.Please remember that any contractor should be able to provide proof ofliability insurance and worker’s compensation coverage.

Please note that the Village cannot perform work on private property, butKramer Tree Service is available. For a cost estimate, please contact themdirectly at (630) 293-5444. The Village does monitor private trees that mayhave an effect on public property. We also respond to complaints regardinghazardous trees. If you have any questions regarding trees, please call thePublic Works Forestry Division at (630) 736-3850.

ThPolice Department will be actively enforcing these regulations to ensure that oustreets, and our children, are safe.

Please also be careful of our Public Works crews who are finishing up the road program, and continuing their efforts on combatting the Emerald Ash Borer. Thaggressive insect has really hit our streets hard. We also know many individuaproperty owners have been hit. The Village cannot do work on private propertyHowever, our contractor, Kramer Tree Service, is willing to work with residents otree removal. The Village can offer guidance and assess whether a tree is infestedand our 50-50 Tree Replacement Program can help with tree replacement.

GO GREEN – Energy Saving Tips

Smoke Alarms Save Lives

With fall upon us, we know that winter isn’t far away. Now is the perfect time to get your house ready fo winter. The Village’s Natural Resource Conservancy Commission offers these energy savings tips:

• Take advantage of natural heat by opening blinds or drapes on sun-exposed windows.

• Reverse the direction of your ceiling fans to push warmer air down.

• Close fireplace dampers when not in use.

• Plug leaks around windows and doors with caulking and weather-stripping.

• Make sure air ducts are insulated and sealed.

• Invest in a programmable thermostat to turn the heat down when you’re away.

• Replace leaky, single pane windows, doors and skylights.

A professional tune-up of your furnace is another way to help you save energy – and money!

Smoke alarms prevent fire fatalities, giving you and your family time toescape a fire. Installing smoke alarms is one of the best things you can do toprotect your life, your family and your home! Here’s where to get started:

• Where Do I Put Them? Smoke alarms are required on everylevel of your home, including the basement, and within 15 feet ofsleeping areas.

• Are Smoke Alarms Hard to Install? Hard wired smoke alarms should be installed or replaced by qualified electrician. For battery-powered smoke alarms, all you will need for installation is a screw drver. If you are uncomfortable getting on a ladder, ask a relative or friend for help. The Fire Department ialso happy to assist.

• How Do I Keep My Smoke Alarm Working? The batteries in either a standard battery-powere

alarm or hard-wired with battery back-up need to be replaced at least once per year. The whole unshould be replaced every 8-10 years. Newer smoke alarms now have long-lasting batteries that will lasthe life of the unit. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are designed to last for about teyears.

• What If I Can’t Afford New Alarms? If you are a resident, and cannot afford to purchase smokdetectors, the Fire Department will provide and install them at no charge through a grant from KiddeCorporation.

For more information, contact the Streamwood Fire Department at (630) 736-3650.

School District U-46 NewsA Positive Start to the School Year

School District U-46 begins the year with many exciting opportunities in store for stu-dents and a renewed commitment to academic excellence for all. Some of thehighlights include:

• 800 new laptops for schools, 640 desktop computers for middle and high schoollabs, 280 mobile netbook computers, and 240 CAD stations for Career and Technical

Education courses.• 90 school buses were replaced, updating our aging fleet; our first bus purchase in

five years.

• Two-way Dual Language program continues to grow. The number of elementaryschools participating in the program increased from 16 to 18.

• More than 1,900 students are enrolled in our gifted programs this year fromelementary through high school academy programs.

• 80 students are enrolled in our new tuition-based kindergarten.

New Grading Scale at Middle and High Schools

U-46 has implemented a new equal, incremental grading scale for all middle and high

schools. The scale: 5=A+, 4=A, 3=B, 2=C, 1=D, and 0=E, was a recommendation ofthe Secondary Grading Committee which began studying the issue in 2011. The scalealigns with the 2010-2011 District Improvement Plan to ensure high expectations forstudent growth. The grading system aligns with Common Core state standards andaccurately reflects earned grades, while maintaining high academic standards for allU-46 students. In the previous grading scale, a student may make one or two mis-takes but never recover from the zero. This leaves students disengaged and withouthope. Under the new grading scale, an E =50-59 and students who make mistakes ordon’t master a subject right away are still able to recover.

Raising the Bar on the ISAT

When parents receive their child’sIllinois Standards Achievement Test(ISAT) score, it’s important toremember that the Illinois StateBoard of Education (ISBE) hasincreased the performance expecta-

tions of the ISAT in math andreading for elementary and middle school students. These higher expectations betteralign with the new Common Core standards and will cause the number of students whomeet and exceed standards to drop significantly.

Rest assured, these new expectations do not mean that our students are less knowl-edgeable or capable than they were in previous years. Instead, ISBE is simply expectingmore of students and trying to identify their progress toward college and career-readi-ness targets. The new expectations pave the way for the state to replace the ISAT testin math and reading, with the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College andCareers (PARCC) exams, which are scheduled to begin in the 2014-2015 school year.
