TIPS FOR MAKING 9-1-1 CALLS FROM YOUR CELL PHONE: The number of 911 calls
placed by people using wireless phones has significantly gone up in recent years, and is growing!
The trouble with wireless phones is that they are not associated with one fixed location or
address. Residents making a 911 call from a wireless phone should remember to tell the operator the location of the emergency right away, and provide the operator with their cell number in
case the call gets disconnected.

Go Green
Monarchs and
Milkweeds
T h e
monarch
butterfly
is one of
the most
recognizable
insects
in the United States. It is known for its striking orange and black colors. Every year the
monarch undertakes one of the worlds most
remarkable migrations, traveling thousands
of miles from Mexico, across the United
States, to Canada in the spring and back
again in fall. The monarch is the only butterfly known to make this two-way migration.
But the monarch butterfly is in trouble. The
monarch population has declined recently.
Nobody knows why, but the loss of their habitat
is strongly suspected. Butterflies lay their eggs
on specific plants called milkweed. Although
adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many
plants, the female only lays her eggs on milkweeds and the larvae appear to live entirely on
the plant, eating only those leaves. Chemicals
from the leaves remain in the monarchs system and make the adult monarch butterfly poisonous to predators. In the Midwest, milkweeds were once common, but the use of herbicides has reduced their range and growth.
The Natural Resource Conservancy Commission
encourages you to get involved in helping the
monarch butterflies! There are simple steps we
can take to help save the monarch. Every backyard can become a monarch oasis. Plant milkweed. Habitats for monarchs can be anywhere
as long as there is milkweed growing. The most
common species of milkweeds for this region
include Common Milkweed, Swamp Milkweed,
Butterfly Weed, and Whorled Milkweed. You
can also minimize the use of insecticides. The
monarch butterfly is an insect, and so spraying
insecticides will kill them and any other butterfly. Make the commitment to help save the
monarch butterfly!
