Letters to the Editor

<strong>Congratulations Belleville!!</strong>
Editor,
As a former Belleville resident, I was excited to learn that Belleville was going to, at long last, have a dedicated senior center to serve its older residents. On August 9, I was lucky enough to get a tour of the building. It is beautiful beyond my expectations. My late parents, Lincoln and Maxine Marty, would have been so grateful for the building and amazed as I was, I’m sure.

Naturally Speaking

Cicadas, including the dog day cicada, are one of those bugs everyone has heard but few people have seen. Seeing one may go unconnected with the insect's name because there's no sound.
These true bugs make long buzzing sounds from atop tall shade trees, particularly during hot, dry summer days.
Different species call at different times of the day and for different durations.
Males, not females, call. The sound attracts both males and female to a location where the males continue to call and eventually females will mate with the males.
