THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 2019 B6 October-June Late-April to Mid July Mid-June-September July-December SUBMITTED SCREENSHOT The life cycle of the spotted lanternfly, an invasive species. Protect NC from invasive pest SUBMITTED REPORT The North Carolina Department of Agricul ture and Consumer Ser vices Plant Industry Divi sion is asking travelers to several northeastern states to take precautions against the spread of the highly destructive Spotted Lanternfly this summer. According to Katy Shook, area horticulture agent for the Chowan County Cooperative Ex tension Agency, North Carolina has no reports of this invasive pest. Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive plant-hopper native to China that could cause billions of dollars in loss to NC agriculture, tourism and trade should it be come established in the state. This pest is a hitch- hiker and can be easily moved long distances on vehicles, campers and outdoor equipment. Scholarship Winners Roger Smith, president of the Rocky Hock Ruritan Club, awarded 10 seniors scholarships during the group’s ladies night picnic/meeting recently. Pictured are (l-r) Faith Byrum, Jacob Forehand, Elizabeth Manning, Shane Spruill, Amy Turner and Jesse Wilson. Not pictured are Lauren Smith, Lindsay Smith, Dylan White, and Michael Winebarger. Congratulations to these deserving seniors! Those planning to visit any of the indicated north- eastern states in which Spotted Lanternfly has been found, it is recom mended vehicles be thor oughly washed and in spected before leaving. Also, do not move fire wood. Since 2014, the pest has been detected in Con necticut, Delaware, Mary land, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Vir ginia. Reproducing infes tations of this pest have been found in 14 counties in Pennsylvania as well as portions of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. Spotted lanternfly is a piercing-sucking insect that produces copius amounts of honeydew while feeding. This buildup of honeydew at tracts stinging insects like wasps and ants and can cause black sooty mold to grow on infested plants, as well as homes and businesses, reducing property values. They are a known pest of over 70 species of plant including grapes, stone fruits, ap ples, maple, willow, oak, and tree-of-heaven. SLF overwinters in the egg stage, hatching into nymphs during late-spring to early-summer. There are four nymphal stages prior to becoming adults in late summer. The 4th nymph stage and adults show a strong preference for tree-of-heaven as their host.

I enjoy watching local product Jessica Bre land own the paint and show off her mid-range jumper in Atlanta for the Dream, but I have found it difficult to become invested in any other teams. I see some Big 3 basket- ball, too. This is a league where former Duke player Corey Maggette won MVP last year, so the quality of play isn’t exactly what you might call top notch. It’s players you might recog nize playing the only version of basketball most of us could still play. Wimbledon is enjoyable to watch, but like most people, I have job. The matches air on TV while we work, so I am left watching highlights of Ser ena Williams and Novak Djokovic wins. Speaking of Serena, I saw two things regarding her this week worth men tioning. First, one in eight men polled recently said they thought they could win a point in a game of tennis against the 23-time Grand Slam winner. In related news, appar ently one in eight men polled are idiots. Secondly, I loved Ser ena’s response to questions regarding when or if she we would be willing to stop spending time and en ergy on racial and gender equality and instead focus it solely in tennis. “The day I’m in my grave” was, in her case, an epic and hon est answer. Unfortunately, with Wimbledon and the World Cup now complete, I guess it’s the WNBA, CFL foot ball and the Bassmasters for me until football ar rives, and football can’t come soon enough.

BOARD Continued from B2 directors ran the team from 1998 up until 2015. Then we had a private owner from 2016 until 2018. And then this season, the board of directors took over again.” A new team of senior and freshman committee members returned to Edenton and have been working with Russell for the past four months to help develop the team’s ex pansion. Although Russell says not much about the leadership has changed from 2015 till now, there are some subtle differ ences. “We have the same ex ecutive committee that we had in 2015. It was very familiar with the op eration side of things,” he confirmed. “On the busi ness side, the only thing that has changed is that there is now beer at the ballpark. So that is some thing that we have all learned together. Other than that, everything from concession to the general operation of things is the same as it has been.” The board of directors has a contract with Burke to operate the team. They will take full ownership of the team on Aug. 3 before the Coastal Plains League playoffs begin. ALBEMARLE Continued from B4 and product development “Like all Albemarles, her ride will be best in class, keeping the crew dry and comfortable even when the weather turns.

This can be a good team.” “We have more pieces than we’ve had in past,” DiMartino agreed. “Although we graduated six starters, we have guys who are ready to step into the breach.
