DOVE Post Staff Due to a significant decease in the gypsy moth population, the state spraying program in the Back Mountain has been cut back. Ron Rugletic of the Luzerne County Ofice of Environmental Special Projects said that only 92 acres in Harvey's Lake Borough and 70 in Sweet Valley have been approved for spraying. The results of field studies done last July indicated that there aren't enough egg masses for the state to approve more spraying, Rugletic said. Luzerne County Naturalist Dan Comoroski agreed. “I've looked for egg masses up in Moon Lake Park, and I really had to hunt. The moths simply aren't there this year.” Comoroski and Rugletic cred- ited the county's spraying program, an increase in natural predators and the little critters’ own’ vora- cious appetites for keeping the gypsy moth population down. “In 1990 | saw the caterpillars eating cedar, hemlock and poison ivy, highly toxic plants which are normally not part of their diet. They had already eaten everything else in sight - and completely cleaned out all the poison ivy in Oratorio concert is May 9 at the Kirby Wyoming Valley Oratorio Society will present its spring concert at the Kirby Center, Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. . 5032. one section of the park,” Como- roski said. ; He also observed bald-faced | wasps and flocks of yellow-shafted flickers feasting on the pests. Rugletic and Comoroski believe that the gypsy moths have begun | to migrate south and west, which could help trees in our area to recover from several summers of heavy deforestation. ot However, southern sections of Wyoming County were hit hard with the pesky little caterpillars last year because Wyoming County did not spray as aggressively as Luzerne County, Rugletic said.. Wind currents could possibly carry caterpillars into the north- ern sections of Harvey's Lake, Lake Township, Dallas Township an Franklin Township. figs Unless the weather becomes much colder, forcing the gypsy moths to migrate back into the area, Comoroski does not expect another heavy infestation for sev- eral years. Gypsy moth invasions tend to run in seven-to ten-year cycles, he said. : Rugletic's office has a referral service for property owners wish- ing to have their land sprayed at their own expense.

A lotdepends on personal preference. Both glasses and contact lenses do the job they're supposed to do: help you to see better. Contact lenses are most popular with young people who are nearsighted and older people who have had cataract surgery. At the same time, new developments in contact lenses have made them more attractive to ALL groups of vision patients. Over 15 million Americans have been fitted with contact lenses; and another million- and-a-half put them on for the first time each year. Dr. Curtis Goo Optometrist CONTACT LENSES OR GLASSES? Contacts don't steam or fog up: when the température suddenly: changes. They don'tinterfere with. peripheral vision. Furthermore, they don't interfere with your natural good looks. Of course they do require more care, and may not. be right for everyone. Uncertain? Your optometrist. can help you decide what's best for you.
