Willow Pointe

ANNUAL MEETING FOLLOW-UPThe Annual Meeting was held on May 19th and attended in person

by 17 Homeowners. Thankfully, by the skin of our teeth we had quorum of 59 people. Between the Proxies and attendees, we had 61 represented. First, thanks SO MUCH to both the people who attended and to those who sent in their Proxies. I and the Board appreciate tremendously your help here.

We re-elected by acclamation Steve Mueller to the Board of Directors to their current positions for another 3 year term. Those there discussed a variety of issues and possible resolutions that can be implemented by the community.

Once again, thanks to everyone who attended…and those who attended in spirit. This year, we needed each and every one of you.

POOL OPENING PARTYThe WPHOA Board got together Memorial Day Weekend and

served Bahama Bucks shaved ice at the pool from 12-3. We had a great turnout and lot of fun. We had about served up 75 shaved ices with a choice of 12 different flavors. The kids and the kids at heart loved it and had a great time. Thanks to all those who came out and please keep coming to the pool all season long!!

Emerald ash borer, often referred to as EAB, is an exotic pest from Asia. This beetle is a serious threat to ash trees. Emerald ash borer was accidentally introduced into the United States and was found in Michigan in 2002.

Four beetles were found in a trap located in NE Texas (Harrison County) in late April 2016. There are currently no confirmed cases of ash trees that are infested. The beetles will continue to be monitored throughout the state.

Larvae bore into trees under the bark and cut off the water and nutrient conducting vessels. Larvae are creamy white, legless with a flattened body. Larvae are 1- 1 ½ inches in length when fully developed.

As an adult, the beetle is elongated and cylindrical with the pronotum (a part of the thorax) extended back as a lobe towards the abdomen. Most notably, these beetles are bright, metallic green with reddish hues. Adults are about 1/2 inch in size. If the wings are removed or lifted, the upper side of the abdomen is bright coppery-red which can help differentiate this beetle from closely related species in Texas.

In infested trees, canopy die back is often seen in the top one third of the canopy and then moves down until the tree is bare. Epicormic shoots (leafy shoots coming off the trunk of the tree) may also be seen. Vertical fissures may appear on the bark and galleries may be able to be seen through openings. If bark is peeled off, serpentine galleries packed with frass (excrement) may be seen. Adult beetles produce a d-shaped exit hole (1/8 inch diameter). Woodpeckers may cause damage to tees infested with EAB. Look for flaking bark and uneven holes caused by the woodpeckers feeding on larvae and pupae.

If EAB activity is confirmed for ash trees within an area, it is recommended that a systemic insecticide treatment is given to ash trees of high value. If more than 50% of an infested ash tree crown remains, then treatment with a systemic insecticide may slow the attack. If less than 50% of an infested ash tree crown

Emerald Ash Borer found in Texasremains, the tree should be removed.

For great information on emerald ash borer within Texas see the following site: https://tfsweb.tamu.edu/eab/

This information is to have you watch for this beetle on ash trees in your area. Only 4 beetles have been found currently and only in NE Texas. No trees have yet been confirmed to be infested.
