Sitting under a tree in a park in the summer, listening to birds and squirrels chirping while reading a good book is priceless. Charmaine J. Forde

By SCOT STEWART

Special to the Journal

There are of course, different types of squirrels in the Upper Peninsula. Most are quite familiar with the array of tree squirrels found in town and in the woods. There are red squirrels, and gray squirrels, including a black, melanistic form, all active during the daytime. The red squirrels are the noisiest, with their long, trilled call loud enough to be heard far off in the woods, or in the next block in town. The gray squirrels dont make much noise until there is a fuss a quarrel over food, or a disturbance. Then there are flying squirrels, two species, northern and southern, and they are mostly active after dark and they dont make much noise at all. They are so secretive, folks are usually stunned when they find them not only in their neighborhood, but actually living in their house with them.

But there is a whole different type of squirrel here in parts of the U.P., and they are relative newcomers. Ground squirrels, thirteen-lined ground squirrels. They originally were just found on the Great Plains but as areas have been cleared, they have move eastward. They are now found from Alberta to Texas, and the Rockies to Ohio. They prefer open areas with short grass, away from the forest. Solitary animals, they dont share a burrow, but will often live close together where the habitat is good.

Around Marquette they are commonly seen and heard in a number of areas where they can easily be observed. Around the mouth of the Dead River, in the grassy-weedy spots, on the edge of Wright Street near Lakeshore Blvd. along the less manicured portions of the football playing fields, and next to the bike path north the entrance to the Shiras Steam Plant, there are established small grouping of these rodents.

They often live completely unnoticed, bearing a low profile, and being relatively nervous little animals, usually dive into their burrows at the slightest signs of danger. The first noticeable sign they are present is usually their short, high-pitched whistle, warning others of a potential predator. They are hunted by snakes, weasels, foxes, hawks and owls, and usually less than 10% live to their first winter. That truly loud whistle sounds like a call of a bird, and when none is seen most pass it off as something that flew away. A quick whistle and they dive for cover. They make small dead-end safety burrows and longer tunnels to sleeping areas where they eventually hibernate in winter.There is a great deal of variety in the diet of thirteen-lined ground squirrels. They belong to a group of rodents called spermophiles, from their Latin name, Spermophilus, meaning seed lovers. Weedy areas often provide plenty of seeds, to go with roots, grass and clovers. They also eat small amphibians, insects and other arthropods like spiders and millipedes. They will even grab a bite of carrion if available.

They are cute little furballs. As their common name indicated, they have rows of tan and dark brown lines across their backs, the darker lines punctuated with rows of light dots. Like their larger rodent relatives, the prairie dogs, they frequently grab a paw/handful of grass blades or a bunch of clover and sit on their haunches to eat it, raising their heads slightly above the line of vegetation to watch for danger. They are probably at their best when collecting vegetation to line their burrows. Filling their mouths with large bunches of grass they offer a whiskered look, just a bit like those chipmunks with cheek pouches full of seeds. Ever curious, they will peek out of their burrows frequently after being frightened, and it is that wondering mind that probably gets them in the most trouble.

So, listen carefully when out for a walk, and check the ground regularly for groups of holes in short grass. If a spot is found where it looks like 18 holes of golf could be played in about 30 seconds, more than likely there are ground squirrels living there. Stop, freeze and watch the holes for peering eyes.

Thirteen-lined ground squirrels now live in the Upper Peninsula - Marquette Mining Journal

The last five weeks of glorious weather remind me of the line about the merry month of May from The Rocky Road to Dublin.

aving happy cows out grazing in fields of lush green grass makes life easier. But as someone once told me, when things are going well, thats the time to look out. I found this out for myself recently as suspected Redwater cases claimed two cows from my herd within a week.

Redwater was common enough in cattle years ago and was associated with older, rough pastures. My two cows went down very quickly, and even though they got blood transfusions, it wasnt enough to save them.

I havent found out what caused it and I just hope that it was an isolated case. I am watching cows very closely for any drop in milk production or any other indications that they are off form.

Apart from that it has been a busy and productive time. Breeding kicked off on April 20 and at the end of three weeks, 90 cows and heifers were submitted. There was an 85pc submission rate for the cows and 100pc for the heifers.

The teaser bulls with the chinballs certainly worked hard and without fail. They were in from day one.

The teaser with the cows certainly loved milking times as he lay down outside the collecting yard for a rest until milking was over.

It was a pleasure to work with the heifers this year as I brought them home to the milking platform for the three weeks. They were in two paddocks close to the parlour and were easily visible.

They were all submitted within the first three weeks, including two out of the 22 receiving estrumate to bring them into heat. They all received sexed semen. This is my first time to use it. I will work hard with the April and May calvers to get them served as quickly as possible. All cows finished calving last week.

First cut

By the time you read this, our first-cut silage should be in the pit as it was cut last Tuesday.

I got three grass samples tested and they all had sugar levels between 4.55. The nitrogen levels were also low at between 10 and 50. Fertiliser was on for just six weeks and the good sunshine helped to use up the nitrogen.

Grass has really taken off in the past two weeks. Along with the first cut last week I included three paddocks (2.7ha). This brought my farm cover down to a more manageable level of 612. The cover/LU stands at 149 and I am now stocked at 4.12LU/ha. In the past month I reseeded two paddocks (2.1ha). Conditions were ideal.

I burned off, ploughed, power-harrowed, levelled, sowed and rolled. The grass seed used was a two-variety mix of abergain and abermagic. Lime and 10-10-20 fertiliser were also applied. Dare I say it, some rain would really help reseeds in this part of the country.

A Grass10 meeting was held on Zoom last Monday. The emphasis was to walk the farm regularly, keep covers at 1400 and take out surpluses for bales immediately. For the next month with such rapid growth, this will be the main challenge.

The milking cows are currently producing 29 litres at 3.57pc BF, 3.23pc PR, 4.84 lactose giving 2kg MS/cow/day, TBC 4000, SCC 81, Therm. 30. Milk urea is 14. The cows are getting 14kg of grass and 4kg of a 16pc protein nut.

The first group of heifer calves went to grass two weeks ago. They have settled in nicely and are enjoying the sunshine and the freedom. They are getting about 1kg of meal daily.

Even though our summer months are going to be very different this year, we must continue to farm safely and well.

We must continue to encourage our young family members to help out where they can as there are always so many jobs to be done around our farms. Start by making a list and getting through them.

Enjoy the long days ahead!

City Fans United has produced a draft strategic plan setting out a five-year vision for Chester FC and is now asking members and supporters for their views to help shape the final plan.

An initial consultation has been launched giving fans and stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback and tell the club what matters to you.

The consultation, which runs until Monday, June 1, includes an online survey and a series of interactive virtual workshops.

Developed in collaboration with Chester FC Community Trust, the draft plan aims to provide a blueprint for the future and establish the club as a successful, sustainable force for the long-term.

It is based upon six strategic pillars which will enable the club to achieve its ambitions: Football Excellence; Membership and Fan Engagement; Better Facilities; People and Culture; Finance and Governance; and Community.

Andrew Morris, City Fans United chairman, said: The final strategic plan will reflect our shared vision and ambitions for the club so the contribution of members and supporters is of vital importance.

These are unprecedented times for football and all clubs are having to respond to overcome new challenges, but we believe our ownership model is an asset and means we are better placed than many to do this.

Given the uncertainty about when football will resume, what it will look like when it does and whether crowds will be permitted, the board has adopted a flexible business plan model which is an ongoing process.

The strategic plan is a high level summary that will guide the club for the next five years and enable us to move to the next level and realise the potential of the supporter-owned model.

The plan must represent the aspirations of the membership so we are asking every supporter to take part in the consultation and tell us what is important to them.

Meanwhile, work is now well under way on the annual pitch renovations at Chester FC thanks to the generous support from fans at this difficult time.

Almost 4,000 was raised from the E-Matchdays last month and these funds have enabled the club and groundsman Mike Barrow to ensure the pitch remains in top condition for when football returns.

With no matches scheduled and the recent good weather, work on the playing surface has been able to start earlier than normal with the expert assistance of Duncan Ross Ltd, one of the UKs leading contractors working in sportsturf, land drainage, fine turf, landscaping, agriculture and greenspace.

Mike and his team of volunteers scarified the pitch last week in three directions to rip out any of the weaker grass in preparation for the work.

On Monday the pitch was spread with 70 tonnes of sand which was drag-matted to level out the surface and then seeded four ways with the club grateful to Dandys for providing a fantastic deal on the grass seed.

It is expected that with the forecasted good weather and temperatures set to remain along with some natural rain or sprinklers signs of growth will be seen in 7-10 days.

Then, in around 5-6 weeks, the pitch will be cut regularly and returned to its usual excellent condition ready for whenever football resumes.

Jeff Banks, director of fan engagement, praised the fans, players and management at the club for helping raise funds: To achieve a figure of nearly 4,000 from the E-Matchdays was fantastic and its great that we can visibly demonstrate where that money has been spent.

We have always been proud of the surface at the Deva Stadium and this contribution together with the hard work of our groundsman and support from Duncan Ross will help ensure we continue to prepare the pitch for footballs return.

EAST LYME, CT More than 20,000 scallop seeds were placed in the Nianitc River last Thursday, the minutes from the Waterford-East Lyme Shellfish Commission meeting show.

And according to The Day, owner of the Niantic Bay Shellfish Farm Tim Londregan and commission chairman Peter Harris, said the program to restock and refresh the Niantic, is an effort to help restore the river to its days of being home to a bountiful scallop population.

Also last November, the commission approved a scallop season, only the third since 2011 and before that, going back a decade, no permits were issued.

In 2006, the Niantic River Watershed Protection Plan noted that historically, the decline in the bay scallop population was related to a decrease in eel grass and at the time, said that the sharp decline in the delectable shellfish Argopecten irradians led the Commission to "no longer issue shellfishing permits for them."

In addition to scallops, the "river at risk," long rich with shellfish, has also seen a oyster seeding.Rescue Our River seeded the Niantic in November with 10,000 oyster seeds as part of a public-private partnership with the Waterford-East Lyme Shellfish Commission.

Shellfish Seeding The Nianitc River Aims To Restore, Replenish - The Lymes, CT Patch

When the new Little League baseball season opens in April in White Plains players will be competing in a newly renovated Gedney Field.

The field is temporarily closed.

White Plains Little League President Kevin Scully said last week the field is usually renovated every five to six years. A landscaper typically does such work as adding new infield dirt, over-seeding the infield and the outfield, aerating the grass infield and outfield areas. But Scully said the Little League Board determined major renovations were needed for the field due to all the use it receives. It was time to invest in a major renovation that would enhance the Gedney Little League Field and rival or exceed the best Little League fields in Westchester County and the surrounding areas, Scully said.

Gedney Field is a traditional grass field, built to Little League International specifications, Scully noted. With grass infields it is critical to have the proper drainage and quality infield dirt/clay that provides a smooth surface and minimizes bad hops of baseballs and softballs, Scully said. Having a high-quality Little League field benefits our league and our city. By hosting district and sectional little league tournament games we are bringing people from all over Westchester and the surrounding area into White Plains, which benefits the immediate merchants on Gedney Way, but also other businesses in White Plains that these visitors patronize.

For this major renovation, the entire infield, grass and dirt were scaped and removed and replaced with new grass and a special mixture of clay. Home plate and the pitchers mound were raised in order to create the proper pitch that would enable rainwater to more easily drain off the field and minimize pooling and puddles. And new grass was laid around home plate to create the feeling of a major league ballpark. New sprinklers were added to improve the even watering of both the grass and dirt areas.

The field is scheduled to reopen with the 2020 Little League season in April. The White Plains Little League parade is slated for April 18 and the regular season will begin the week of April 20, Scully noted. Depending on the weather, we may open the field to practices in April, but as of now, the field will be closed until the regular season begins, he said.

Scully said the entire cost of roughly $40,000 was paid for by the White Plains Little League. The City of White Plains did contribute by allowing the contractor to dump the old grass and dirt in the City recycling center, he noted. The Little League White Plains used some of its capital projects funds and is conducting a series of fundraisers to cover the renovation costs, he said.

Scully said the Little League big fundraiser is a wine tasting scheduled for Jan. 24 at the Freebird Kitchen and Bar on Mamaroneck Avenue. The cost is $40 for individuals and $60 for couples. The Little League will hold other fundraisers throughout the year to replenish the capital projects fund, Scully said.

The renovations began immediately following the completion of the Little League fall season in late October, Scully said. Westwood, NJ-based Field Pro Enterprises, which was also hired by the White Plains School District last fall to renovate several district ballfields was hired by the Little League, Scully said, adding the company was highly recommend by the school district.

The contractor fell in love with Gedney Field when he saw it and knew that a renovation would really make a difference for our facility, Scully said. The contractor worked through November to get the grass laid so it could take hold. His unique supplier for the clay had equipment issues and had to wait for replacement parts from Ireland before he could mix and deliver our clay. Clay was delivered in late December and the contractor has been working around the weather to finish the project, Scully said. The contractor will return in late March to fertilize and seed the whole field and regrade the clay areas that might be affected by winter weather, he said.

Scully said the White Plains Little League has a positive relationship with the City of White Plains, which owns and the field. The Little League is very grateful to and dependent upon the City of White Plains, particularly the Department of Public Works and the Department of Recreation and Parks, for the support they provide, he said.

Although Gedney Field is a city field it nearly exclusively used by Little League for games and practices from April through November, Scully said. In addition, the Little League uses the field to host district and sectional tournament games in June and July, he said. The field does get used by Dads and kids when not being used by the White Plains Little League and for the most part, the community respects and takes pride in Gedney Field, he said.

The field is officially referred to as Gedney Little League Field, Scully noted. We are celebrating our 26th season as an official little league, he said. The city created the field specifically for the Little League in 1998, he said. .

The Little League has named a walkway within the Gedney Field complex Massaroni Way for Rich Massaroni who was a past president of White Plains Little League and instrumental in getting the City to build Gedney Field for WPLL, Scully said. He remains a valued resource for the current board to help understand the history of different issues and decisions, Scully said, noted, adding Massaronis son, Patrick, is head coach of the Stepinac High School varsity basketball team and a White Plains Little League alumnus.

Fertilizer or dinance in effect for Hernando County

(Brooksville, FL) Starting January 1, 2020, a fertilizer ordinance will be in effect for Hernando County through March 31, 2020. This ordinance regulates how, where and when fertilizers can be applied to grass. During this time period, only professional applicators who are trained, certified and registered according to the terms of the ordinance may apply fertilizer. The only forms of nitrogen fertilizer that may be applied during this period are those that are labeled as slow- or controlled-release. The applicator must be able to verify the fertilizer product used and provide the verification upon request.

Studies conducted by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have determined that one of the primary causes of water quality issues in Weeki Wachee Springs and the Weeki Wachee River comes from inappropriate fertilizer use. When applied incorrectly, excess nutrients wash off lawns into neighboring water bodies causing excessive algae growth and stressing aquatic insects, amphibians and fish.

Here are tips on how residents can help: Do not fertilize your lawn from January 1 through March 31 unless you hire a certified landscape professional Ask your fertilizer professional if he or she has a certificate of training through the Green IndustriesBest Management Practices Program Watch the weather and don't fertilize when the National Weather Service calls for a heavy rain, flood, tropical storm or hurricane watch or warning, or when the soil is still saturated Hold off fertilizing new plants, turf seeding or sod until at least 30 days after planting Do not fertilize within 10 feet of a water body. It is recommended to use plants that don't require fertilizer for these areas Immediately clean up fertilizer that spills on your driveway, sidewalk or street. Never allow fertilizer, grass clippings, pet waste, plant debris, gasoline or oil to be washed, swept or blown off sidewalks or roadways into stormwater drains, ditches, canals, water bodies or wetlands Follow the University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences best management practices for landscapes.

It has been years in the making, but work is finally underway on the new Guelph Turfgrass Institute.

The institute, which studies things like pesticide use, grass species, seeding methods and sports field construction, is managed by the University of Guelph under a partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

The universitys board of governors approved the move from the current facility on Victoria Road to the new site back in 2015. Work had originally been slated to begin in 2017, with a fall 2018 move-in date.

However, Rene Van Acker, dean of the Ontario Agricultural College, told the Mercury Tribune in September 2018 that the delay was due in part, because of additional environmental assessments for the new site.

The current Victoria Road property is part of a parcel of provincially-owned land currently up for sale. That land, under city plans, will one day become the Guelph Innovation District.

In March 2019, city council approved plans for the province to sell the land but permit the city a seat at the table for helping narrow down a buyer.

At the time, council was told the land would be in the hands of its new owner(s) by March 2020.

There were many experts surrounding the NFL heading into the 2019 season predicting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be nothing more than a 3-13, 4-12 football team. That record mightve been nice in terms of positioning in the 2020 NFL Draft, but instead the Buccaneers took an entirely different route.

Tampa Bay finished with a record of 7-9 and are now faced with some big decisions when it comes to their own unrestricted free agents. The Buccaneers are coming off Year No. 1 under quarterback whisperer Bruce Arians and one of the first orders of business will be to make a decision on signal caller Jameis Winston. Theres others that must be decided on like outside linebackers Shaquille Barrett and Jason Pierre Paul and wide receiver Breshard Perriman.

Who exactly will Tampa Bay bring back and who will they left go? We take a closer look at some of the free agents that are currently slated to hit the free agent market and what Tampa Bay may end up doing with them.

Quarterback, Jameis Winston: If you want to start up a good debate over the dinner table, talk about if the Buccaneers will be bringing back Jameis Winston in 2020. Its a debate that stirs Buccaneers fans strongly one way or another. For Winston, its been five seasons of work with only one season above the .500 mark and a whole bunch of good and bad. The problem is figuring out if he will ever swing the pendulum fully to the good side. Coming off a season after throwing for over 5,000 yards, 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions, it would seem prudent to give Winston the franchise tag here. A long term deal seems off the table.

Outside linebacker, Shaquille Barrett: Setting records was the big theme for Tampa Bay in 2019 and Barrett broke the franchises single sack record previously held by Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp. Barrett ended the season with 19.5 sacks, ending up leading the entire NFL in that very category. Theres not much of a decision on whether Tampa Bay should bring Barrett back. The better question is will they apply the franchise, transition tags or sign Barrett to a long term deal?

Outside linebacker, Jason Pierre-Paul: In just 10 games played after an off-season of recovering from a scary neck injury that nearly ended his career, JPP came back to prove something and he did. Last seasons sack leader played enough to rack up 27 total tackles and notch 8.5 sacks. Not too shabby for a guy who had an injury that nearly took away not only a season of play but maybe his career. JPP is a leader in the locker and a short term deal seems in order.

Wide receiver, Breshard Perriman: Talk about the take of two halves in a season. Perriman went from a virtual unknown on the offensive side of the ball to being considered a viable No. 1 receiver by the end of the year. Perriman ended the season with over 30 catches for nearly 700 yards and providing Tampa Bay with a boost in the final four games. He made $4-million last season but a pay increase will be expected by Perrimans camp. Perriman could end up leaving in free agency due to the higher price tag he will demand.

Defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh: Suh has become somewhat of a free agent mercenary when it comes to where to go. When the Los Angeles Rams offered him big money, he went to the big city. When Tampa Bay ponied up big money, Suh took his talents to the Buccaneers. It seems unlikely Tampa Bay will have the cap space to bring Suh back, but mentioned many times by head coach Bruce Arians, he wants to keep the defense intact.
