Ohio Edison denied growth-stunting chemicals harm Elyria trees
A west side resident said a tree injected with a growth-stunting chemical two years ago began dying, while Ohio Edison and forester Gerald Western maintain the chemical slows growth but hurts no trees. The city asked the EPA to investigate. About 1,600 trees were injected last year and many more may be treated this year. Concerns include lack of resident notification and calls to outlaw the practice.

Dry spell limits mosquito threat in Lorain County
Lorain County sees no anticipated mosquito population boom as prolonged dry weather reduces Asian Tiger mosquitoes. Entomology experts note the species carries yellow fever, encephalitis and dengue fever, with tires from Japan as a carrier. Officials say larvicides are underway in Greenville and local health authorities will act quickly if sightings rise.
