02-28-2010 - ZEBRA MUSSEL LINKS
Below are links to various Zebra Mussel documents and information including the report from the Base Lake cleanup.
These critters can take over the lake and destroy all habitat for fish, plants, and the eco system in general. We cannot afford to do what the Base Lake did, nor is it even possible.
We must be sure to clean our boats with 140F degree water or above before we launch a boat in Beaver Lake if it has been in other bodys of water. Live wells, water intakes of outboard and inboard motors, the bilge, etc. must be throroughly washed. Just use common sense and help protect our beautiful lake from these invasive animals.
Here are the links.

01-23-2010 - OUR NEIGHBORS' HELPERS
Our Neighbors Helpers……
From time to time, we all find ourselves in a crisis situation. It is the goal of approximately 30 Beaver Lake neighbors to step up and assist our neighbors in time of need. These wonderful people have volunteered to be a core group of people ready to help out when needed. They will be on call to help when and where needed.
You are probably wondering what type of help they offer. Maybe you have an illness that prevents you from mowing your lawn or removing your snow from your driveway, you can call on us. Possibly you have a doctor’s appointment that you must keep and your ride has cancelled on you, you can call on us. Maybe you have been ill and haven’t been able to get groceries, you can call on us. There are many reasons why people need assistance in a crisis and certainly not limited to those mentioned.
Obviously, we are not going to offer these services on a weekly or a monthly basis. We are willing to help only when you have exhausted all other avenues and resources. If you can afford and have the opportunity to utilize our businesses in the area, we suggest that you do so. However, when all else fails, feel free to call on us. We cannot promise that we can fulfill every request; much will depend on the request, timing and availability of our volunteers. But, we will make every effort to respond when called upon.
If you would like to be included on our volunteer list, please email BobDianaBodnar@gmail.com or call Diana at 235-3755. I will need your name, address, phone number and email address if you have one. If you have a specific area you would be willing to assist people with, please also offer that. Should you need our services, please email or call Diana.

09-27-2009 - PINE TREES DYING?--PREVENTION
I'm sure we've all see all the dying pine trees around the State, but there is a prevention step you can take providing your pine tree hasn't shown any symptoms yet. The disease is probably Pine Wilt and the following article has information about it.
You really need to cut down the dead pines and haul them away to prevent spreading of the disease. Don't use them for firewood.
Here is the article.

08-27-2009 - OAK TREE PROBLEMS?
I'm sure you've noticed some of the Oak trees around the area are browning and dropping their leaves early this year as they have from time to time in the past. Seems worse this year and it can't be for lack of rain. The universities in Nebraska and Iowa are researching the problem, but so far have not released their results. Here's what I know about it so far.
It could be urban stress, Oak Wilt, Anthracnose, or a mutation of a fungus called Tubakia--or something else.
Stress on Oak trees plays an important role in slow death. If you built a home around an Oak tree, it could take from 8 to 10 years so for the stress to show up. They just don't adapt to construction, fill dirt, or tampering too well--they grow too slow. Heavy machinery driving around the tree or any fill dirt can cause root damage and the tree to go into a slow, irreversable decline. Some don't care which is strange, but there is a treatment for urban stress called Cambistat. It's a liquid that you put around the base of the tree flair and it slows the growth of the canopy for 3 years which allows the roots to catch up and heal somewhat. Also, drilling a lot of holes around the tree's drip area and filling them with compost will help losen the soil and provide space for the roots to grow. I drilled about 1400, 2" wide holes and used the growth slowing solution two years ago, but so far, no luck.
Oak Wilt is a problem in the area, but Burr Oaks are somewhat resistant. They can be treated with a fungicide called Alamo after you determine you have wilt, but it requires a macro infusion into the tree flair and is costly. Red and other types of oaks are much more susceptible to Oak Wilt and have poor results once oak wilt is diagnosed. Only a sample sent to the labs at the University of Nebraska can tell what you have for sure. The Extension Office can also help.
Anthracnose is a fungus that isn't too dangerous to the trees and can be treated by spraying in the spring; however, anything that causes the leaves to drop early takes energy from the tree so it may not come back as strong next year.
Tubakia is a fungus that, from what I'm told, is becoming a problem in Nebraska and Iowa. Tubakia normally feeds on dead leaves etc. but seems to have mutated and is now attacking live Burr oaks. This weakens the tree and will eventually kill it. There is no cure as of yet, but the universities are looking into it and I'll report the findings when/if I get them. There is a spray for the regular Tubakia but must be done in the spring. Call your tree surgeon.
Anyway, please do a computer search for Oak Wilt, Tubakia, etc. and find a good tree surgeon to see what can be done for your problem. You may find the people in Minnesota that I've talked with and spent a lot of money with over the years.

Having problems submitting want ads? Getting error messages?
Well there is a bug in the system, but it's only superficial. When you enter the data for a want ad and submit, you will probably get an error message somewhat similar to "adsubcat" etc. Please ignore this error.
There is a note on the want_ad page explaining this anomaly.
If you have any other problems, please contact me at the info@beaverlakene.org email address.
Thanks. We are planning to replace the want ad section shortly.
