Asian Longhorned Beetle Presentation
Asian Longhorned Beetle Presentation All of the downed trees from Sunday’s wild storm remind me of how important urban trees are to our daily happiness.
It seems that the enemies of trees are growing in number – foes of longstanding like lightning and wind are joined by homeowners who don’t like to pick up branches or are afraid of the trees in their yard. I cringe when I hear the sound of a saw in the neighborhood – fearing that another tree is about to be felled.
Add the Asian Longhorned Beetle to the list of things we tree huggers have to worry about.
On Wednesday night the Somerville Garden Club is sponsoring a presentation by horticulturist Debra Elson on the Asian Longhorned Beetle and other pests that damage or kill trees.
A video, “Lurking In the Trees”, about the devastation the beetle caused in Worcester will be shown. Elson will also discuss the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, Winter Moth, Eastern Tent Caterpillar, and Gypsy Moth Caterpillar.
The Somerville Garden Club meeting and Asian Longhorned Beetle presentation is scheduled for
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 7 pm
At the Tufts Administration Building, 167 Holland St, Somerville (between Davis Square & Teele Square) on the 2nd floor

Somerville Snow Emergency Tickets
Somerville Traffic and Parking Office - Apply for your snow emergency ticket waiver here
Somerville Snow Emergency Tickets Cambridge real estate agents from Coldwell Banker tour our offices’ new listings every Wednesday. Today, despite the dire forecasts, we had a dozen or more new listings to see in Cambridge and Somerville.
Well, as it turned out, there wasn’t a storm. In fact as we finished our tour it was 36 degrees and sprinkling.
Despite the clear streets the meter maids parking enforcement crews were out in force. While viewing a beautiful condo at the Park Street Lofts in Somerville several agents received tickets.
Despite the lack of snow, despite the fact that there was no mention of snow emergency restrictions on the parking signs, and despite the fact that the cars were parked for less than ten minutes – perhaps less than five – several agents returned to find $100 tickets on their windshields. That’s right – $100!!
Somerville Waives Snow Emergency Tickets
Somerville’s made the news before for excessively aggressive tagging and towing in advance of storms that never materialized. I imagine they got complaints today – or perhaps the writing was on the wall and they decided to do the right thing.
Mayor Curtatone has announced an abatement program for snow emergency tickets issued today, Feb. 10, 2010, for the storm that wasn’t. The snow emergency was lifted at 6 pm.
To receive an abatement for your snow emergency Somerville ticket you’ll need to pay a visit to the Traffic and Parking office at 133 Holland Street or to City Hall on Highland Ave. If your car was towed only the portion of the tow charge that goes to the City will be refunded.
