FOR THE

FLOOR

OF YOUR DREAMS

Pop into Abram W. Bergey & Sons Floor Coverings, right in the heart of Harleysville and chances are you will be greeted by owners Randy and Micah Bergey, or their cousin, Janel Billmyer. Also rounding out this dynamic team of cousins is Jamie Bergey, the commercial job foreman. In fact, most of the employees, like office manager Tanya Yoder, have been with the company for so long they are like family.

Founded in 1950 by Abram W. Bergey, this family owned, third generation flooring company continues to provide the highest quality of product and workmanship, some 68 years later. Abram W. Bergey & Sons will make your purchasing experience a pleasant one from the design phase, all the way through to the final installation. “Our goal is to provide exceptional customer service, and build long term relationships with our clients”, says owner Randy Bergey.

Carpet Sale On Select Styles

Sale going on until 11/2/18.

Their highly trained sales staff strives to make your purchase a pleasant experience, while finding the right flooring for your lifestyle & budget. With free estimates, in-home consultations, and a strong commitment to serving and reinvesting in the local community, choose Abram W. Bergey & Sons Floor Coverings for all your flooring needs.

The company is located at 311 Main Street, in Harleysville. “The business was started at my grandfathers kitchen table”, states Micah. It has moved a few times since then, from the current Subway, to their present location, and has been through several expansions as they outgrew the space.

As early as 12, the cousins recall working with their dads over the summer. “It’s a fast paced industry, and we are always staying on top of the constantly changing market”, says Randy.

Carpets, rugs, tile and hardwood flooring, laminate and resilient flooring are just some of the products that Abram W. Bergey & Sons carries. They also sell and install laminate, granite, Corian and quartz countertops.

Annual 2018 PET PHOTO Contest

Grand Prize Winner – Milo Submitted by: Barb Stenn

This is my son and his 3 children’s dog Milo. My son is a divorced dad and Milo is his little buddy now. They adopted him when he was 3 months old.

He just celebrated his 1st birthday August 28. Training him has been hard but Milo is trying.

Runner Up – Haley Owned by: Rachel Kunz

What can I say about my Golden girl? Haley is “wise” beyond her years. She knows joy, unconditional love, loyalty, forgiveness, and listens without judgment. She’s active but is never afraid to enjoy the quiet moments in life. I hope that I can someday be as good as her....I love you Haley!

Runner Up - “Little Man” Manny Owned by: Nancy Capra

In addition to being incredibly adorable, he is such a little lover and true friend. He has such a great personality. I wanted a Frenchie for many years and can’t believe I waited so long. French Bulldogs make excellent companions. I just love my little buddy.

Runner Up – Ivy

Owned by: Natalie Wuelfing We have two cats, Laurel and Ivy, and are both very special to me.

Whenever I am stressed or have anxiety about school or life, they help cheer me up. Just petting helps me calm down and lets me know that no matter what, they will always love me.

Runner Up – Mako

Owned by: Justin Bieler Mako is our 3 year old Jack Russell Terrier. He is the best and cutest puppy ever. I love him because he plays with me, we love to play fetch and run around. I love when he sleeps with me at night, he’s very cuddly!

OCTOBER

Breast cancer is a cancer that develops in the cells of the breast.

It can affect both men and women, and every October we have a chance to remind ourselves to be aware risk factors and prevention.

According to the Mayo Clinic, genetics are not the only reason people develop breast cancer. It is likely a combination of your genetic makeup and your environment and lifestyle. While we cannot control genetics, we can control most of our environment as well as what we do, eat and drink.

Risk factors include being an older female, having a history of breast conditions or a family history of breast cancer, radiation exposure, and obesity. Your risk may also be higher if you started your period at an early age, started menopause at an older age, having never

Celebrating Community

been pregnant or bearing your first child at an older age, some postmenopausal hormone therapies that combine estrogen and progesterone, and drinking alcohol.

Risk prevention begins at home and with your doctor. Ask your doctor for a screening. Become familiar with your breasts through self examination. Move more and maintain a healthy weight, choose healthy foods and drink alcohol in moderation if at all, and limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Consult with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

Early detection and more thorough education have helped the survival rate increase over the last few years.

If you find a lump or any other change in your breasts, make an appointment to see your doctor.

Since 1988 Kriebel Security Inc’s mission has been to serve the banking industry with expert installation and outstanding customer service. Kriebel Security still has that same commitment to their customers here in the Upper Perkiomen Valley as well as the surrounding tri-state area today.

In 1988 David Kriebel (Founder/CEO) started up Kriebel Security out of his home. As the word spread about Kriebel’s excellent customer service and competitive pricing, the company began to grow rapidly. As they celebrate their 30th anniversary this year, what had begun as a single man operated business has grown to a team of 30 employees.

Although the fleet has grown, the personal commitment and quality of service provided to the customer base has remained a constant. Today, Kriebel Security Inc. has expanded their services to both residential and commercial customers with installations of burglar and fire systems, access control systems, camera systems, personal emergency systems and more.

customers at all times, I feel confident that our customers are being taken care of”, says daughter Christina.

With October being Fire Prevention Month, Kriebel pointed out that they offer CO detectors as well as smoke detectors that can be monitored through their security systems. “Many customers do not realize that their electrician installed smoke detectors are not nearly as reliable as the monitored smokes that we install. If your electrician smoke goes off it will sound throughout your home, but no fire departments will be notified to dispatch to your home.

Taking a Look at

Skippack Architecture

Kuster Mill LOCATED IN EVANSBURG STATE PARK NAME Common: Kuster Mill Historic: Custer’s Fulling Mill and Skippack Creek Farm LOCATION Skippack Creek at Mill Rd and Water St Rd

Pegged Dutch bank barn as it appeared in 2003.

DESCRIPTION The mill races on this property are intact.

These were stone lined. The house and cool cellar were built of stone taken from the quarry located on the property.

Kaulus Kuster, (sic) the first Kuster clan was a mason in Germantown in the seventeenth century. The house and premises evidence the residence of

competent stone masons. The basement and cool cellar floors are covered by large flags of stone. The original part of the dwelling uses the local redbrown rock as evidenced in the facade of tailored or dressed courses of stone. Fenestration consists of four windows across the facade. The house has a central chimney with corner fireplaces as found also in Germantown homes. Alterations in the roofline have occurred. It is possible that the house once had a gambrel or hipped roof. The present fulling mill addition replaced the original burned in 1936. An open spring is located in the basement of the house suggesting that this structure also might have had a part in the fulling operation. Certain alterations of the roofline can be traced.

View of the Kuster house as it appeared in 2003.

SIGNIFICANCE Period: 18th Century Specific Date: 1702 original part Areas of Significance: Agriculture, Commerce, Conservation, Industry, social/Humanitarian, Mennonite Culture STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Skippack Creek Farm and Fulling Mill was originally sold by Mathias VanBebber to John Krey on December 25, 1702. By 1706 when the deed was recorded in Philadelphia, there were messuages, houses, building and other improvements.

Hermanus Custer purchased it April 20, 1717.

The land borders the Skippack Creek in a bucolic setting. A stone house,

pegged Dutch bank barn and fulling mill exist on the property (the mill structure doesn’t exist anymore). The datestone for expansion of the house to the present size by John Custer bears 1767.

View of the Kuster House from across the Skippack Creek. This photo was taken back in the 1970’s.

This is no doubt the first fulling mill in Montgomery County, if not in the State.

The house was the first in Montgomery County with indoor water, it was built over a spring providing water and a cooler for milk and food. Title searches revealed that an unusually large number of property owners in the Skippack area had a trade besides farming; the occupation of weaver occurs frequently.

Historic documentation corroborates that many of the purchasers stemmed from the Krefeld region, one of the leading European textile centers in the eighteenth century. A blue dyer’s establishment was operated alongside the fulling operation.

The 1756 census of Skippack taken by Walter Johnson includes one fuller, John Custer.

In summary, the house merits attention because of its age, its connection with the personages of a Paulus and Hermanus Kuster and the Germantown complex as well as for its technological significance as and early and unique industrial site.

Current Distribution and Reporting

Steps of Spotted Lanternfly Management

An SLF quarantine is currently in effect for 13 counties in Pennsylvania (Figure 2). If you are located outside the quarantine zone and find a spotted lanternfly, collect and report it immediately with our online reporting system at extension .psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly or by calling 1-888-4BAD-FLY. SLF found within the quarantine zone does not need to be reported.

be underneath your car or in your wheel well. During all other times of the year, check for nymphs and adults, and keep your windows rolled up when you park. Don’t store things or park under infested trees, and don’t move firewood.

MONROE

Walk around your property to check for egg masses on trees, cement blocks, rocks, and any other hard surface. If you find egg masses on your property from September to June, you can scrape them off using a plastic card or putty knife (Figure 3). Scrape them into a bag or container filled with isopropyl alcohol or hand sanitizer.

This is the most effective way to kill the eggs, but they can also be smashed or burned. Remember that some eggs will be laid at the tops of trees and may not be possible to reach.

Feeding Damage SLF is capable of causing serious damage to its host, including oozing sap from the trees, wilting, leaf curling, and even death. SLF feeds using a piercing-sucking mouthpart tapped into the plant like a straw. When SLF feeds, it also excretes honeydew, or sugary water. This creates a sticky surface on and around plants that encourages the growth of black sooty mold. This mold is harmless to people but can cause damage to the plant. If you see black sooty mold or sticky areas on a plant or tree, it may be infested by SLF, but it could also be aphids, leafhoppers, planthoppers, or scale insects. Therefore, it is important to identify the cause of the mold, as control measures may differ for pests other than SLF. There is no way to prevent SLF from moving onto your property. Be aware that SLF is very mobile and management actions must be continuous to keep them off your property.

Tree Banding

When the nymphs first hatch, they will walk up the trees to feed on the softer new growth of the plant. Take advantage of this behavior by wrapping Figure 4. A banded tree with SLF tree trunks in sticky tape nymphs stuck at the bottom. and trapping the nymphs.

Any tree can be banded, but we recommend specifically banding tree-of-heaven, the preferred host, or trees where you see a lot of egg masses or nymphs (Figure 4). Special tape for this purpose can be purchased, though duct tape wrapped backward and tight to the tree also works well. Push pins can be used to secure the band. Adult SLF will avoid tape, so it is essential to band trees in the spring when there are nymphs. Be advised that birds and small mammals stuck to the tape, while rare, have been reported. Check and change traps every other week.

Management Stop the Spread When you travel in and out of the quarantine zone, check your car and outdoor equipment (grills, outdoor furniture, landscaping supplies, mowers, etc.). Check for SLF egg masses from late fall to early spring. Remember that egg masses may

Host Removal

Active Ingredient

Tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is an invasive plant, but it is common in landscape plantings, agricultural areas, and along the sides of roads. This is the preferred host for SLF and current management efforts are focused on removing this tree. This involves applying an herbicide to the tree and cutting it down from July to September. Failure to apply herbicide will result in new growth from the stump; even when treated, multiple applications may be necessary over time to completely kill the tree. These trees can get very tall, so seek the help of a tree care service if necessary. Tree-of-heaven is named because of its rapid growth, which can reach up to 100 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter. The bark of tree-of-heaven is similar to the outside of a cantaloupe. When crushed, the leaves put off a foul odor that many describe as rotten peanut butter. There are both male and female trees, and only female trees produce seed. They spread by seed and will also produce “clones” by their roots. This tree can be mistaken for other native species, including black walnut, hickory, and staghorn sumac. For help identifying and treating this plant, visit extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly. While tree-ofheaven is a preferred host, SLF feeds on a large variety of plants, including many of the trees in your backyard. Removing these may not be preferred; refer to the next section for further guidance.

Chemical Control imidacloprid

Insecticides can be contact, systemic, or both, and may vary greatly in the length of control after application (i.e., residual activity). Contact insecticides kill SLF when the chemical contacts the insect as a direct spray to the adult or nymph, or when the pest walks over a surface with pesticide residue on it. Systemic insecticides are absorbed by the tree through sprayed leaves, roots, and or woody tissue and are moved by its vascular system to other parts of the tree. SLF is killed as it feeds on any part of the tree, even if it was not sprayed directly (e.g., spraying the lower part of the tree will protect the tree tops). Systemic insecticides work best when applied in the spring and early summer, before the more mobile adults emerge. However, they can protect the tree and kill adults depending on the application timing and type. Systemic products will often give contact activity when sprayed directly to live SLF, but contact activity from surface residues is often relatively short as the product is absorbed into the tree.

There are four main methods to apply insecticides: tree injection and bark sprays (applied by professional applicators), and soil drench and foliar sprays (can be applied by homeowners). The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture are currently using the systemic insecticide dinotefuran as injections or

bark sprays on tree-of-heaven to kill SLF. Both methods work well and have residual activity that lasts from several weeks to several months. These application types, however, can only be applied by certified pesticide applicators, including tree care professionals, and can be costly.

Some insecticides available at your local garden or hardware store can be used as either soil drenches or foliar sprays.

Be sure the product is meant for this type of application by reading the product label. Foliar sprays with contact insecticides are applied to surfaces where SLF feeds and walks, which includes the base of a tree, such as tree-of-heaven, where spotted lanternflies are abundant. They can also be applied directly to SLF nymphs and adults. Foliar sprays with systemic insecticides are best applied to leaves and green tissue of trees. This does not need to be the entire tree and can be leaves within your reach. While systemic insecticides can be applied to the bark of trees (bark sprays), they require special penetrants (only available to certified pesticide applicators) to effectively move them into the tree and kill SLF. Systemic insecticides on the leaves of trees will readily move throughout the rest of the tree. Systemic insecticides applied to foliage will be taken up by the tree quicker than systemic insecticides applied with soil drenches.

Soil drenches with systemic insecticides and water are applied into the soil around the trunk of the tree. The insecticide is taken up by the roots and moved into the rest of the tree.

Ideally, soil drenches are best applied in the spring to trees such as tree-of-heaven or other favored hosts that have had high SLF populations in the past and are likely to have them again. Soil drenches may take several days or weeks to move into the tree. They should not be used to kill high numbers of SLF as you see them. Depending on the product and rates used, soil drenches have the advantage of longer residual activity (several weeks to several months) over foliar applications.

Currently suggested active ingredients for homeowners, their mode of exposure, and example products are provided in the table. Please note that most products currently available are not registered for use on SLF. These products and their companies are not liable for results when used on SLF. Research is ongoing to find the insecticides that are most effective on SLF, but that are safe to humans, pets, beneficial insects, and the environment. More detailed field trials are being conducted with a wider range of insecticides on SLF in summer 2018 to better understand direct efficacy and the residual activity of various products available to homeowners. We have not yet evaluated nontarget effects of listed products on beneficial insects, including pollinators. We do not recommend treating your entire property because these products are not specific to SLF and beneficial insects may be affected as well. Only treat areas where SLF is abundant.

These recommendations are current as of June 20, 2018, and may change as we learn more. We encourage you to stay up to date by visiting our website. Check the version of this fact sheet (listed below following the publication code number) and always look for the most up-to-date information. When using any pesticide, follow the pesticide label for directions, application rates, methods, and appropriate protective equipment.

Summary Spotted lanternfly is a destructive invasive pest, threatening agricultural, timber, and ornamental industries, and the plants in your backyard. Together, we can take action to limit the spread and damage from this pest.

• If you find SLF outside the quarantine zone, report it! extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly or 1-888-4BAD-FLY • Don’t let SLF spread. Check your car, outdoor equipment, etc., for SLF eggs, nymphs, and adults when moving in and out of the quarantine zone. Don’t move firewood.

• Help us reduce SLF populations by scraping egg masses from trees, houses, and anywhere else you find them.

• Band trees to trap and kill nymphs in the early spring.

• Remove tree-of-heaven, the preferred host for SLF. • If needed, protect your trees by applying insecticides using foliar or soil drench methods or consult a local tree care service. Always follow label instructions when applying any pesticide.

• Keep in touch and stay up to date! Sign up for our newsletter and find new information on SLF at extension.psu .edu/spotted-lanternfly.
