IT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD HISTORY
Pictured: (left to right) Albert Hahn and Collen Ball
It was the “Mystery of the Missing Bench” in October 1978. The bench in front of Main Street business, Springfield Transfer, was used by old-timers to gather and discuss local news and, most likely, world events. The bench disappeared for a few weeks. Luckily, Mayor Allen Kreifels, solved the mystery when he found the bench inside Springfield Transfer. Someone had brought it inside for safekeeping.
SPRINGFIELD AREA MASTER GARDENERS NEWS
You would think that after a few days below freezing that the "insect" population would dwindle. But you may actually see a little more of them in your house looking for warmth.
Now I am not a big bug person. I dislike spiders, love butterflies, hate hate hate flies! I am the kind of person that can get bit standing in 20 degree below weather. Now my husband with a minor in entomology and a brother in law who is a professor of entomology in Maryland, and the position I'm in with the master gardeners here, I should learn to love the bugs. We try to follow IPM and limit spraying as much as possible.
How do you keep the bugs out? I will tell you to look out for an increase of lady beetles, box elders, and spiders attempting to knock on the door. Just make sure to check your seals around the doors, your plants you move in (wash the leaves top and bottom) and also the pots themselves (check the underside for spider nests) and windows and just don't answer the door.
