The Cicadas are coming... By Clifford S. Sadof, Purdue University Extension Entomologist and Michelle Boswell The cicadas are coming. Well, technically, they are already here but will soon emerge from the ground. More than a billion are expected to take to the skies across parts of the United States. Brood X is one of 15 broods of periodical cicadas that emerge from the ground regularly throughout the eastern United States. They are also known as the 17 or 13year locusts. And if the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020 wasn’t enough, Brood X (10) are about the make their way out of the soil and into Indiana skies by late May and into June. They have black bodies, redtoned legs and are anywhere from one and half to two inches in length. Even if you do not’ see them, it is easy to tell when they emerge because of the high-pitched, shrill sound the males make. While females do not have the noise-making organ (which are membranes that vibrate on the underside of their abdomen), females have a sharp organ to cut open woody twigs to lay eggs. Six weeks after the eggs are laid, the cicadas will hatch into a form called a nymph. A nymph is a smaller version of the adult insect. Although they do not have wings, they do have a
Vol. 2, No. 8
See where Cicadas will emege in Indiana and surrounding states on the map - Page 2 thin exoskeleton. Nymphs will drop to the ground and burrow into the soil and begin eating sap from tree roots. As the nymph grows larger, the exoskeleton becomes too small and must be replaced with a larger one which is done through a process called molting. They come out of the old exoskeleton and the new one is skin that hardens. This will take place over and over until it reaches adult size. While cicadas are underground, they feed on tree sap and juices from the roots. After 17 years of being underground, the cicadas will come to the surface, climb up tree trunks, fences or whatever is nearby, shed their exoskeleton and enter the world with wings. They will live about one month and begin the life cycle all over again by finding a mate and laying anywhere from 400 to 600 eggs. They will begin to feed on plant juices and that is when minimal
damage takes place to some plant life. Plants cicada feed on that could suffer some damage locally are: Maples, Serviceberry, Chestnut, Apple, Crabapple, Katsura tree, Redbud, Fringe tree, Dogwood, Cotinus, Cotoneaster, Hawthorn, Cockspur, Ash, Witch-hazel, Hophornbeam, Sourwood, Cherries, Peaches & Plums, Oaks, Roses, Mountain Ash, Basswood, Elmwood and Weigela. Those at a lower risk for damage are: Hollies, Golden chain tree, Cork tree, Birch, Hornbeam, Magnolia and Cedar. Ways to control the damage to trees and plants are to delay pruning until cicadas disappear. Once they stop flying, the damaged branches can be trimmed. Shrubs and trees under 10 ft. tall can be covered in ½ inch mesh screening for the six weeks cicadas are expected. It is also recommended to wait planting trees and plants that could be damaged by cicada until after they have come and gone. Pesticides can be used but not recommended for large trees. Clifford S. Sadof, Purdue University Extension Entomologist says, “If you choose to use pesticides to protect your small trees, you will need to apply them every three to four days to prevent injury or every seven to ten days to reduce See Brood, Page 2

2 Brood injury. The labeled pesticides will kill beneficial insects and likely result in a spider mite problem that will need to be managed for the rest of the season.” Birds and squirrels will have a feast on cicada but because of the number of insects expected, their bellies may be full long before the cicada can be eliminated. There are some insecticides available to help homeowners protect plants and trees and shrubs from the looming Brood X. They are: GardenTech Sevin, Spectracide Triazicide for Lawns and Landscapes Concentrate and Bonide Eight.

Peru Community School’s Music Education Program receives national recognition Peru Community Schools has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. Now in its 22nd year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, Peru Community Schools answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas. Since the passage by Congress in 2015 of the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA) and a stated emphasis on a wellrounded education, many school districts have re-committed to music and arts education programs and found that in this time of a national pandemic, provides a valuable way to keep students engaged in school. ESSA provides designated funding for well-rounded educational opportunities through Title IV Part A Student Academic Success and Achievement grants. NAMM Foundation research has revealed that these grants are being widely used by school districts to address instructional gaps in access to music and arts education. Research into music education continues to demonstrate educational/cognitive and social skill benefits for children who make music: After two years of music education, researchers found that participants showed more substantial improvements in how the brain processes speech and reading scores
than their less-involved peers and that students who are involved in music are not only more likely to graduate high school, but also to attend college as well. Everyday listening skills are stronger in musically trained children than in those without music training. Signifi-
cantly, listening skills are closely tied to the ability to: perceive speech in a noisy background, pay attention, and keep sounds in memory. Later in life, individuals who took music lessons as children show stronger neural processing of sound: young adults and even older adults
who have not played an instrument for up to 50 years show enhanced neural processing compared to their peers. Not to mention, social benefits include conflict resolution, teamwork skills, and how to give and receive constructive criticism. About The NAMM Foundation
The NAMM Foundation is a nonprofit supported in part by the National Association of Music Merchants and its approximately 10,400 members around the world. The foundation advances active participation in music
making across the lifespan by supporting scientific research, philanthropic giving and public service programs. For more information about The NAMM Foundation, please visit www.nammfoundation.org.

Go Garlic!
By Laura Kurella
Many of us know about some things garlic can do, like the study done at St. Joseph Family Medicine Residency in Mishawaka, Indiana, that found that regular use of garlic may decrease the frequency of colds in adults. However, there is far more to gain from garlic than keeping a cold away such as a study done by the Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China, which found people who ate raw garlic at least twice a week had a 44% lower risk of developing lung cancer. Scientists at the Medical University of South Carolina found three pure organo-sulfur compounds in garlic - DAS, DADS and DATS – that are effective in destroying cells in a deadly type of brain tumors and, a study from Washington State University showed that a compound in garlic - Diallyl sulfide - was 100 times more effective than two popular antibiotics in fighting Campylobacter bacterium – a common cause of intestinal infections. Garlic is also a healthy choice for our hearts, as well, with researchers at Emory University School of Medicine finding that the Diallyl trisulfide in gar-

However, if you don’t like it, you can still enjoy its benefits simply by cutting a fresh clove into smaller pieces and swallowing them like a pill. In fact, fresh cut garlic is the optimum way to intake its benefits because once exposed to oxygen, the beneficial enzymes in garlic begin to decline.
Therefore, when ever you do cook with garlic, it’s always a good idea to use a garlic press to add some freshpressed in to the dish right before you serve/eat it. Here now are some great ways for you to gain from garlic, too – ENJOY! Roasted Garlic Potato Soup 1 large bulb garlic (about 3 ounces)
2 teaspoons olive oil 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded and thinly sliced 1 1/2 cups canned chicken broth 1 1/2 cups water 1/2 teaspoon unrefined mineral sea salt 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup mashed potatoes 1 cup low-fat (1%)
milk 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap garlic in foil, place on baking sheet and bake 45 minutes, until garlic is tender and packet feels soft when pressed. When cool enough to handle, unwrap, cut top off garlic bulb and squeeze garlic out. In large saucepan, over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and red pepper and cook about 15 minutes, until onion is golden, brown and tender, stirring frequently. Add broth, water, salt, thyme, black pepper and roasted garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook 10 minutes for flavor to develop. Remove from heat and, working in several batches, puree in a blender. Return soup to pan and whisk in instant mashed potatoes. Over low heat, cook about 3 minutes, just until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in milk and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, until well chilled. To serve, spoon into serving bowls and top each with a dollop of sour cream. Raw Garlic Ranch Dressing 1 1/4 cups cashews 3/4 cup water (or a little more) 3 tablespoons lemon juice
