RANTOUL The village is about halfway finished on a years-long project that involves the removal of dead and dying ash trees.
The culprit: The emerald ash borer.
The solution: Remove affected trees on public rights-of-way and gradually replace them with a variety of other tree species.
Pete Passarelli, Rantoul's public works assistant director, said this year alone, the village has removed about 100 ash trees, and during the past several years "between 500 and 600 ash trees."
"We think we've probably got at least that many left," he said of the latter figure. "These are just on the right of way. Some homeowners have been removing some, too."
Native to Asia, the emerald ash borer is a beetle no bigger than a penny. Passarelli said the village has been replacing one tree for about every three that have been taken down.
"Trees are expensive," Passarelli said, noting that Rantoul has received some trees from the state and has put money in the budget every year for tree replacement.
"It's a pretty wide variety of trees. We're making sure we're not planting one single species of trees that might have some sort of future pest that might be a problem. Typically, we've been putting them in areas that don't have trees right now."
Passarelli said the village is fortunate that it has the personnel and equipment to handle most of the tree removal work "and don't have to go out and get a contract to do it."

Jane McIntosh holds her dog, Sweet Peas,as she talks Thursday about the trees Ameren Illinois plans to cut down at her home in Mahomet.
MAHOMET The trees in Mahomet retiree Jane McIntosh's yard shade her home from the morning sun, but they're not likely to be around much longer.
McIntosh and her neighbors, Betty and Sam Thompson, were informed by Ameren Illinois that nearly a dozen trees at both their homes on Bureau Court in Mahomet's Candlewood Estates are too close to power lines and have to go.
In previous years, Ameren has trimmed the tops off their trees, McIntosh said, but this is the first time in the 19 years she's lived in her home that the utility said the trees would have to be chopped down.
Without those trees, her yard "just wouldn't look good," she said.
When Betty Thompson heard about plans to take down the trees, she said, she cried a bit and pleaded with an Ameren Illinois representative.
"I begged her, please reconsider," Thompson said. "Then she called later and said, no, we're going to cut them down."
An Ameren representative told her the trees won't be taken down before Monday of next week, she said.
Ameren Illinois spokeswoman Marcelyn Love didn't address tree-cutting plans at the two Candlewood Estates homes, but did say there appear to be transmission lines running through that area.

If I told you there was a fruit growing in our local parks, that was a favorite of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and that it grows in plain view but you have probably never eaten it Would you think it was a riddle with a trick answer?

Rt. 311 closure scheduled for tree removal
BILOXI, MS (WLOX) -
Just one day after Biloxi was designated for the 30th year as a member of Tree City USA, the Biloxi Planning Commission agreed with the developer of an East Biloxi property to take down 36 trees to make room for a Hyatt Place Hotel.
While some are worried about the loss of character with the loss of the trees, Biloxi's Director of Community Development is praising the land owners for their effort to actually save trees.
If the City of Biloxi approves the planning commission's recommendation, most of the trees will be gone.
The developer originally sought to remove 37 trees, but Gerrod Kilpatrick, the engineer in charge of the Hyatt development who was speaking for owner Sonny Bhakta, agreed at the meeting to save one of two oaks that front the entrance from the beach.
The almost three acre property involved is in East Biloxi, next to the Hampton Inn, on Beach Boulevard. Several residents, like DeAnne Nuwer, called for stronger oversight.
"We have lost so much in Katrina, and I'm asking you all to think about this, and perhaps work with this gentleman. Have him move a little bit more. Put some more pavers down. Help those trees, and keep that beach front looking like we once knew what it looked like," said Nuwer.
Jerry Creel, Biloxi's Director of Community Development, says that only four of the trees requested for removal are live oaks, and of those, many are damaged beyond repair.
He said the 13 trees that will be saved is a good thing and praised the developer for working with the city.
Creel calls it a balancing act to protect trees but not stop business development. In addition, while there is strong authority to protect trees on public property, private property is a whole different matter, even if every request to remove more than five protected trees must go through an approval process.

A bronze tile in memory of the late broadcaster Gerry Ryan has been laid outside the RT Radio Centre.
The Ryan family were present at the unveiling on Thursday evening, October 2, and were involved in the selection and design of the memorial.
The memorial was created by artist Patrick O'Reilly, a personal friend of Gerry and the Ryan family.
At the request of the family, the unveiling of the tribute was kept private and low key.
Gerry Ryan was, and still is, very much a big part of RT Radio, and it was felt that the bronze tile is a fitting way for his colleagues to remember him each day on their way to and from work.
He joined RT as a DJ in 1979 and brought The Gerry Ryan Show to RT Radio in March 1988. The show went from strength to strength over the years and was ground-breaking Irish radio.
At 11am on Friday morning, October 3, the RT Radio staff gathered in the area outside the Radio Centre, where the tribute has been laid, to say a few words and mark the occasion.

The bond between men and their sheds is well-known but they usually work alone when they disappear into sheds. Now a growing movement is encouraging men with time on their hands to join the community of Mens Sheds to work on a range of projects while enjoying the friendship of other men.
Hans Meyer got involved with Mulhuddart Mens Shed in Dublin after he was made redundant from his job at Dublin Airport in 2011.
I found a leaflet about the Mens Shed so I popped in and Ive been here since. It was only me and my wife at home in the house so I got bored and wanted something to do, he says.
More than 7,000 men are members of almost 220 Mens Sheds on the island of Ireland. Every shed is different. Some 16 men, aged 40 to 68 are involved in the Mulhuddart Mens Shed and they spend most of their time on woodwork projects.
90 per cent of what we do here involves woodwork, Mr Meyer says. We make birdhouses, benches, flower boxes, tables, all from scrap material. We also repair bikes. We recently got a donation of 60 bikes from the garda station in Blanchardstown so we are repairing them and selling them.
He says his brain is occupied all the time now. The main thing is to get out of the house. You know, we men are not very open but when were together we talk more. There are no social workers here, or nurses, but we chat and thats very important.
He remembers one of its oldest members telling him that he was on a range of tablets before he started visiting the Mens Shed.
Now he says: I only take Solpadeine from time to time. I dont need the other tablets anymore.
This is echoed by Gerard Grehan who says Mulhuddart Mens Shed has changed his life. He got depressed after a series of injuries and accidents forced him to give up his work as a butcher seven years ago.
