Iowa's Curious Record for Lake Chub
5 American Currents Vol. 41, No. 4 IOWA’S CURIOUS RECORD FOR LAKE CHUB (COUESIUS PLUMBEUS) John Olson Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Des Moines The Lake Chub Couesius( plumbeus) is a relatively large, slender-bodied minnow (Family: Cyprinidae) commonly reaching lengths of 4–5 inches and reaching a reported maximum of nearly 9 inches (Figure 1). There is usually a slender barbel near the tip of the maxillary. The Lake Chub is dark olive dorsally and is dusky white ventrally with a dark lateral band extending from the base of the caudal fin to the snout. Although superficially resembling the Creek Chub (Semotilus atromaculatus), the Lake Chub lacks the Figure 1. Lake Chub (Couesius plumbeus).

EAB) August 9, 2021
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) August 9, 2021 1. What is the emerald ash borer? It is a very small, shiny green beetle (½-inch long x ⅛ inch wide; about the size of President. Lincoln's image on a penny). 2. What does EAB eat? Hosts are species (and cultivars) of ash in the genus Fraxinus. Hosts include green ash (e.g., 'Marshall Seedless', 'Patmore', and 'Summit'), white ash (e.g., Autumn Purple®), black ash, blue ash, and pumpkin ash. Manchurian (F. mandshurica) and Chinese (F. chinensis) ash trees are primary hosts in the homeland [Eurasia]. White fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus) was discovered as a host in Ohio; this is not a common plant in Iowa. Mountain ashes (Sorbus species) are NOT hosts. 3. Where is EAB from? This beetle is native to Asia and is found in China and Korea. It also has been reported in Japan, Mongolia, the Russian Far East, and Taiwan. EAB arrived in the United States sometime before 2002 in wood packing materials. It has been recorded feeding on F. chinensis and F. mandshurica as a native borer. 4. How did it get to Iowa? Most EAB infestations in the United States have been started by unknowingly moving infested firewood, nursery plants, or sawmill logs. The adult beetle also can fly short distances (2 to 5 miles). 5. Should I be concerned about EAB? Yes. It kills ash trees, usually in 2-4 years. In the Midwest, millions of ash trees have been killed by EAB since 2002. There are about 3.1 million urban ash trees and an estimated 52 million ash trees in forests in Iowa. -

Where to go camping Written by: Sac-n-fox lodge #108 #173 Winnebago Council, Boy Scouts of America 2929 Airport Blvd Waterloo, Iowa 50703 319-234-2867 www.winnebagobsa.org The Order of the Arrow The Order of the Arrow is Scouting’s "Brotherhood of Honor Campers." We promote camping and the outdoor experience. We are a regular part of the BSA's camping program. We participate at both the Troop and Council levels. We are guided by the principles of Cheerful Service. This guide is an example of that cheerful service. Purpose of the Order of the Arrow 1. To recognize the campers - Scouts and Scouters - who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as part of the Unit? Camping program, to help the District and Council camping program both year around and in the Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee and the Council. 4. To crystalize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. History Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the Order of the arrow, recognized as the Boy Scouts of America's national brotherhood of honored campers, became an official part of the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.
