HAPPY FATHERS DAY

SPRING CLEANUP was completed on May 22. The city hauled 58 truckloads of debris from town. We would like to remind everyone that leaves and grass have to be bagged in the future. Tree limbs and branches have to be cut in eight to ten foot lengths, no longer. For those who have already dumped grass in the alleys, please bag it. Just a reminder – we will not pick up large construction projects, i.e., no roof jobs or remodeling jobs. Thanks for your cooperation.
SUGAR CITY STAKE CLEANUP PROJECT: Sincere thanks are extended to all volunteers who helped with the stake service project on May 29. The work projects were completed by a large number of energetic, enthusiastic workers. The parks were spruced up and many projects were completed. The rain prevented some painting and staining projects, but did not hamper those faithful workers who showed up. In general, the city wishes to extend appreciation to the Sugar City wards for this tremendous, helpful project. A special thanks is extended to Doug McBride who represented the stake for his help and organization.

Description and Life Cycle
This scale settles on the needles of its host and forms white, oyster shell–shaped wax covers. These covers or armor are about 1/16 to 1/8–inch long when the scales are fully grown and there is a yellowish spot, the exuvim, on the small end. The male scales are usually smaller and more slender. This scale overwinters as deep reddish colored eggs protected under the female’s old armor. The eggs hatch in mid–May into tiny, flat nymphs called crawlers. These crawlers creep to new places on the tree in order to find suitable needles on which to feed. These clumsy crawlers often fall from the trees and may be blown onto nearby trees. Once settled on a suitable needle, the crawler inserts its hair–like mouthparts, and begins to form the new armor. After a couple of weeks, the nymph molts under the armor and continues to increase in size for about three weeks. By this time male scales are smaller and more slender than the females. The males molt into a pre–pupa for a week before emerging as winged adults. The females, however, molt into wingless nymph–like adults. After mating, the females continue to grow for a couple of weeks before laying eggs under the armor. Females produce an average of 40 eggs.
