● Cicadas
What is all this talk of cicadas lately in the United States? You might be
wondering why the media has featured it. but in fact, the discussion about cicadas
has emerged about as predictably as the cicadas themselves from their
underground refuge. Let's get oriented with some background on cicadas. What is
a cicada? A typical definition will at least tell you that the cicada is a large, loud
insect with long transparent wings, mostly found in warm countries. A more
detailed response might also inform you that cicadas have short antennae and
wide-set eyes that jut out. with delicate. translucent wings - and that not only is the
cicada loud, but few creatures make a louder sound. in fact, it is male cicadas that
are the noisy ones, to the tune of 80 to 100 decibels, which is like the roar of a
loud engine. This is because male cicadas make a strident. high buzzing by
vibrating two membranes on its abdomen called tymbals, effectively turning
its
ques body
.L
into a kind of echo chamber or drum. Female cicadas cannot replicate the buzzing,
though thequesy resp1ond with a clicking sound when they are ready to mate.ques 5
. -
Although there are several species of cicada, mating typically takes place in trees,
whereafter the female deposits the eggs into the bark. When the eggs hatch, the larval
cicadas. called nymphs. drop to the ground and burrow. They then live as nymphs for
most of their lives over 6 feet underground, with both male and female cicadas dying
within weeks of their emergence from the soil. This is particularly true for North
American cicadas, especially the Magicicada, or periodical cicadas, which regularly
emerge in intervals of 13 or 17 years, depending on the species and the location. This is
why talk of cicadas in the media is as predictable as their emergence in the U.S.

Elkinsville Ecological Society
Letter from the Chair of Elkinsville Ecological Society
Many of you have heard about the proposed northward expansion of the interstate,
which currently ends just south of Elkinsville. In the recent debate over how this
work will go forward, the focus has been on weighing economic costs and
benefits. indeed, many local politicians claim to favor the project because it will
bring jobs in the short term and more visitors to Elkinsville in the long term.
These politicians also argue that the proposed plan is the least environmentally
damaging way to expand the highway farther upstate. This cannot be true,
however, since the proposed expansion involves not just the widening of existing
roads. but also the construction of more than a dozen miles of new-terrain
highway. # I

passage?

A Day with Humpbacks
I sit on the headlands of Neah Bay, Washington, and watch a mother humpback
and her calf slip through the icy Pacific waters. I recognize this whale by her
distinctive tail pattern, as unique to this humpback as my fingerprints are to me.
Once, heavy hunting using harpoons extirpated the species from the region, and
only a ban on whaling allowed populations of humpbacks to recover. As this
gray female rises to the surface, she exhales, sending up a spout nearly 20
feet high. She rolls on her side and lifts her scalloped-edge flipper in salute. then
slaps it on the water. I adjust my lens and take my shot. This is the only type of
whale hunting I find acceptable-hunting with a camera.

a) Cameras and Harpoons are both ways of hunting humpback whales.

enable their identification.

Dear Aunt Suzanne Letter
Dear Aunt Suzanne, #1
1 have a few minutes before I get on the bus from Galway back to Dublin and
wanted to tell you how my class trip to ireland is going. We just spent 2 days on Inis Mor,
the largest of the Aran Islands, which are just off the central west coast of Ireland. We
took a ferry from Galway, a ride that takes about an hour and was quite gray and stormy.
For an island that is only about 12 square miles, there is a lot to do and see on Inis
Mor! After eating steak and vegetable stew and brown bread with butter, we went to the
sweater market, where all kinds of woolen products are sold. The Aran Islands are known
for their wool because sheep thrive here and generations have used woolen sweaters and
hats to survive long cold days of fishing on the open sea. In fact. I learned that each
family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which
# 2 family someone
belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The Healy pattern is an interesting

combination of twists and braids, and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful
example.
The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient ruins, a
prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We also climbed down to a mysterious rock
formation known as "The Worm Hole," a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with
thrashing waves and looks like it houses a terrible serpent (see attached photo). The
worm Hole was difficult to find, and when we stopped someone for directions, she only
spoke Gaelic! Sometimes this island seems stuck in an earlier time.
I'm excited to see you when I get home. I have lots more pictures to share!
Love, Eva.

● Groundhog Day
On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday of
Groundhog Day. a day of hope that winter is over and spring is beginning. This
tradition has been officially observed in the U.S, since the 1800s, and is believed
to have developed from European folk traditions in which a bear. fox, badger, or
even hedgehog would serve as the symbolic meteorologist. Although other
cultures and towns observe Groundhog Day (or something similar), the town of
Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania takes special pride in being home to the one true
forecasting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. At the turn of the twentieth century,
townspeople formed the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club to perpetuate the joyful
rituals and events surrounding Groundhog Day. Over the years, these events have
come to include a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and a ball.
Legend has it that on Groundhog Day the official weather forecasting groundhog
awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look for his shadow. If
he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are to come, and Punxsutawney Phil
goes back to bed. However, if he does not see his shadow, Punxsutawney Phil
takes this as a sign that spring has arrived, and he remains above ground. Of
course, common sense tells us that February 2 is too early for spring to begin, and
that while animals may be attuned to various elements of nature from which
humans might learn, they are unlikely to act on their instincts based on a schedule
set by a Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, a visit to Pennsylvania to see
Punxsutawney Phil and all of the fun he inspires each year might just provide the
touch of hope needed to reach the end of winter.
Which of the following pairs of search terms entered into a search erg with the
phrase "Groundhog Day is likely to produce information about the origin of
Groundhog Day?

b) Weather and farming

is believed to have developed from European folk traditions.
b) On February 2 of each year, the United States observes the unusual holiday
of Groundhog Day, a day of hope that winter is over and spring is
beginning.
c) Over the year, these events have come to include a scavenger hunt, a
talent show, and a ball.
d) Legend has it that on Groundhog Day, the official weather-forecasting
groundhog awakens from hibernation and comes out of his burrow to look
for his shadow.
