Hi,

I am rather new to this group and work as an ecologist for APHIS; I am also
on the APHIS Weed Team.  I was on a conference call with the folks at APHIS
responsible for replying to federal register comments regarding the new
weed plan.  According to them, APHIS received many irate, irrational
comments from people duped by this 'nowhitelist' site.  Apparently, the
'conservation biologist', D. Theodoropoulos, who gives a testimonial on the
proposed rules on the website, is also the 'JL Hudson' of JL Hudson seeds.
By propogating such myths, he is trying, rather nefariously, to help
himself.  That is what I gathered anyway.  If one reads the proposed regs
carefully, you will see that a white list IS NOT being proposed.  On his
website, everything is taken out of context.  It's sickening, really.  So,
get the word out--this guy is not to be believed!!

> Q: Who will be affected?
> A: Everyone. There will be a tremendous increase in the toxics load of the

> pesticide use favored in extermination campaigns. The release of
> genetically-engineered bio-control organisms has also been promoted. All
> national, state and county parks and open space will be targeted by the

> Q: What can you do?
> A: 1) Educate: When people talk about "invasive species", ask if they are
> aware that Monsanto and other herbicide manufacturers have been
> instrumental
> in forming public opinion on this, that they have backed the Exotic Pest
> Plant councils, and have compromised environmental organizations and
> scientists alike. Point out that "invaders" are actually disturbance
> indicators occupying human-damaged landscapes and that they often have
> highly beneficial ecological effects. Educate people about the true
> origins
> of our natural ecosystems, the extent of the natural migrations of
> species,
> and that anti-invader ideology is founded on antiquated and discredited
> views of ecology, much like the destructive "predator control" theories
> held
> by well-meaning environmentalists of a century ago. Mention the fact that
> the first programs to "cleanse the landscape of foreign plants" were
> initiated by the National Socialist government in Germany, under Adolf
> Hitler. Remember: Almost all of the people who believe in the threat of

> education, not alienate them by a combative or accusatory stance.
> Check in with our website now and then as we upload scientific critiques
> of
> alien-invader pseudoscience, and join our mailing list to keep updated.
> 2) Agitate: Question environmental organizations you belong to about their
> policies or attitudes about the "invasive species" hysteria. Educate them
> about the points mentioned above, and if they persist in an anti-"alien"
> stance, check who is on their board of directors, and inquire into their

> and urge others to do the same. Write letters to the editor to local
> papers
> and magazines challenging any distortions or propaganda that appear in
> their
> pages. Demand accountability from managers of local parks and wildlands,
> and
> take them to task for any herbicide use or destructive extermination
> projects. Make yourself heard!
> 3) Organize: Coordinate opposition and direct actions against destructive
> extermination projects, whether Eucalyptus clearcuts, herbicide use in

I would like to know if any of the listserv members have any thoughts on
the potential impact of moving APHIS and the Coast Guard into a Homeland
Security Department.  Is this likely to help or hinder the nation's
efforts to prevent and control invasive species?

The Junior Master Gardener program is excellent and includes
some information that might be applicable.  It was created by
some bright thinkers at Texas A&M, and is being developed in
three levels.  The first level is done and is in use by
3rd-5th graders.  Level 2 has recently been completed, I
think, for 6th-8th graders.  Level 3 is not yet developed, and
I think it will be for pre-K through 2nd grade.

JMG's home page is www.jmgkids.org.  From there you can click
on "level 2," or you can skip the home page and go straight
to the level 2 homepage at www.operationthistle.net.

I don't know who/what the best source for educational material
on invasives is, but you could take a look at the site we're
developing (still has a few imcomplete areas). The web address is:

www2.nature.nps.gov/synthesis/views

Invasives is under the "Knowledge Center" section. The primary
mode of delivery is CD, so we can always send a CD or more to
the school if they're interested.

Thanks!

Congrats again on a successful meeting Monday.

Next Wednesday, June 29, I'm out to Anne Arundel County's YMCA Camp
Letts, close to the Smithsonian site by Edgewater, MD.  I'll be giving a
field trip lesson on invasives to some 7th and 8th graders ("It better
not be boring, Dad."), and could use your help in finding some
background material suitable for that age level.  The class (my son
David's) will hopefully be able to read something Monday or Tuesday of
next week--maybe a couple things.  Maybe one piece plus something from
the Washington Post you might have clipped?  Whatever.  If this looks
difficult, given your other responsibilities, don't sweat it.  Just let
me know and I'll do a search.   Thanks for whatever you can do.

Below is an update from the Union of Concerned Scientists - Sound Science
Initiative (SSI) regarding invasive species.  This would also be a good
opportunity to contact your State Senators and Representatives to support
legislation on invasive plant issues.

***************** SSI INFORMATION UPDATE ******************

INVASIVE SPECIES INVADE CAPITOL HILL
during CONGRESSIONAL INVASIVE SPECIES WEEK

As the economic and environmental impacts of invasive
species increase, so, too, do attempts to raise public
awareness of just how serious the situation is and what can
be done about it. First, there was Weeds Awareness Week in
Australia. Then the United States came up with National
Invasive Weeds Awareness Week, modeled after the Australian
event. In that same vein, we wanted to let you know about a
series of activities that took place in Washington, DC the
week of May 13, 2002 as part of the first-ever Congressional
Invasive Species Week. Members of Congress are spending
their time and effort, which demonstrates the issue's raised
prominence. The designation is one response from Capitol
Hill to the fact that policymakers are being asked to
address invasive species legislation more frequently than in
the past.

Organizers of the week's events estimate that more than 100
Congressional staff members and several Senators and
Representatives participated in the events over the course
of the week, which bodes well for legislative initiatives
concerning invasive species.

GLOBE USA sponsored and hosted the week's events, which were
designed primarily to update Members of Congress and their
staff on the latest information. GLOBE USA is the U.S.
affiliate of Global Legislators Organization for a Balanced
Environment (GLOBE). It is "a voluntary non-partisan
association of Senators and Representatives that promotes
informed policy decisions for pressing environmental
problems." Besides GLOBE USA's new spotlight on invasive
species, the organization focuses on three broad areas:
International Institutions and Global Governance,
Biodiversity Conservation, and Energy and Climate Change.
(For more on GLOBE USA, see
< http://www.globeusa.org >.)

The overall title for the events was "The Threat of Invasive
Species: How Alien Plants and Animals Are Destroying
America's Economy and Environment." During the week, there
were briefings held for the House and for the Senate on
aquatic invasive species and on terrestrial invasive
species. In addition, there was a reception in the stunning
Lyndon B. Johnson Room of the U.S. Capitol on the evening of
Thursday, May 16 for Members of Congress, their staff, and
other guests. Several government agencies had displays on
hand showing some of their current research and public
outreach work.

** WAS YOUR LEGISLATOR A SPONSOR?

There are a number of influential legislators on Capitol
Hill who are likely to be involved in decisions over the
next year or two regarding invasive species. In the
following list of Congressional Invasive Species Week co-
sponsors, please note if any are from your state. If so, you
might consider letting that individual know you are pleased
with their involvement in trying to resolve invasive species
issues, their proactive stance, and their efforts to inform
and involve others. (To obtain the contact information of
your Senators and Representative, please visit the UCS
Action Center's Congressional Directory at
< http://www.ucsaction.org/directory/ >.)

The week's co-sponsors were GLOBE USA, the Smithsonian
Institution, and the National Invasive Species Council, in
coordination with the Senate Northeast Midwest Coalition,
the Senate Great Lakes Task Force, the House Oceans Caucus,
and the following legislators: Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI), Mike
DeWine (R-OH), Jack Reed (D-RI), and Susan Collins (R-ME),
plus Reps. Curt Weldon (R-PA), Neil Abercrombie (D-HI),
Wayne Gilcrest (R-MD), James C. Greenwood (R-PA), Maurice
Hinchey (D-NY), Sam Farr (D-CA), Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), and
Tom Allen (D-ME).

There was also an invasives-related Congressional hearing
the same week. We have provided some information on that
hearing below, under "COMING UP."

** BRIEFINGS

Tuesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 16 were dedicated to
briefings for Members of Congress, Congressional staff, and
interested others. Tuesday's focus was on aquatic species.
Speaking at both briefings were: Dr. Greg Ruiz, Smithsonian
Environmental Research Center; Allegra Cangelosi, Northeast
Midwest Institute; Sharon Gross, Aquatic Nuisance Species
Task Force; and Rick Harkins, Lake Carriers Association. The
presentations covered a variety of topics, but examined in
the greatest depth issues surrounding ballast water exchange
and newer experimental treatment technologies, as well as
how Congress can advance invasives policy.

Thursday's focus was on terrestrial species. Speakers were
Lori Williams, National Invasive Species Council staff; Rob
Hedberg, National Regional Weed Science Societies; Dr. Scott
Miller, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History; Dr.
Ann Bartuska, The Nature Conservancy; Dr. Richard Mack,
Washington State University; and Gordon Brown on behalf of
Linda Drees, National Park Service. They discussed several
possible approaches to controlling invasive species,
including prevention and early eradication as the most cost-
effective measures. Speakers also focused on research and
management needs, and a few mentioned that agencies'
invasives budgets need to be substantially increased.

For more information on the briefings, contact Dominique
Baron of GLOBE USA at: < dbaron@... >.

** COMING UP

In a few weeks, you will receive another SSI Information
Update, which will be an in-depth analysis of the National
Invasive Species Act (NISA). NISA is a major piece of
legislation that seeks to limit the introduction of aquatic
invasive species into the United States. It is due for
reauthorization this year.

Coincidentally, the same week as the GLOBE USA events, a
NISA-related hearing was held on Capitol Hill: On Wednesday,
May 15, 2002, two subcommittees of the House Transportation
and Infrastructure Committee held a joint hearing on NISA's
implementation. We will include more on that hearing in the
SSI NISA Information Update that we will send you soon.

At this point, we are providing you with information, but in
the near future we will seek your assistance when there are
points where scientists' unique voices could make a
difference in invasive species policy.

Apropos of the debate from last week about farming and threats to wildlife
and biodiversity: The UNEP will announce tomorrow that human activities,
notably the destruction of habitats, is the main cause of species
endangerment and loss of biodiversity.  According to the report, loss of
habitats by human encroachment is largely responsible for the predicament
facing 89% of threatened birds, 83% of threatened mammals, and 91% of
endangered plants.

Invasive species was the second biggest threat, affecting about 30% of
threatened birds and 15% of threatened plants.  Also, human poverty is
increasing, which is aggravating huge losses in biodiversity, and this "has
to be addressed", says Mark Collins, director of UNEP's World Conservation
Monitoring Centre in Cambridge, England.

A neighbor of mine has a large, dense patch of purple dead neetle
(Lamium purpureum)that is spreading from an abandon garden.  It has
spread out as far as 20 feet from the ecposed soil into somewhat
dense grass.  All I have been able to find out about this plant is
that it is an annual from Eurasia that is found in gardens and other
disturbed sites.

Does anyone have any further information especially if it is
considered and invasive species?  I intent to talk to the land owners
and would like any additional information about the species and
control options (both chemical and non-chemical).

Good Morning All.

Since we are in the beginning phases of the IPAW listserv, I wanted
to
see how the subscribing process went for everyone.  Did anyone have
problems? Were the instructions clear?  Was there any information
that should have been included? Any comments?

At this time, we have 27 of the potential 74 IPAW members on the
listserv.  I intend to contact the remaining members to see if they
recieved the invitation and if they plan to subscribe.

Thanks

Dave Beckmann

That would be no problem. Anyone can subscribe themselves. I do not have to
do this.

I am working on a glitch. I seems to take an hour or more for the emails to
get sent to everyone.

Hello David,

I need to be reminded--How are people being notified of the list serve, and
is it restricted to paid members only?  Could I send you the Plant Industry
Relations committee member/potential member contact list to introduce them
to the listserve?

Thanks,
Susan

Susan,

Once I get the OK from the board, I will send an invitation to all IPAW
members (with email) based on the membership list.  As far as who can
participate, this is up to the board and membership, but I think that it
should be open to the public.  The more people that get involved with
invasives the better.  If the Plant Industry Relations committee are IPAW
members, they will get an invitation from me when this information is
approved. But feel free to send me the list.

observe that you were working on additional materials and would get it
to us for review when you were able.

We were told it wasn't fully functional yet.  That is probably why we
haven't signed up yet.  When it is finally ready, can I forward your message
on to others that might be interested in joining, or do I need to somehow
give you their emails.  I have many hundreds who might be interested that I
want to get your invitation out to . - Kelly

Dave - I think you should put someones name (and email address) on it,
probably your own, to give it a personal face, and to have a real person to
contact in case of questions. With all the Spam out there, if people see it
came from yahoo.com, they may just think it is junk mail, esp. those not
real familiar with the IPAW acronym. Even though I knew you were doing this,
I was confused at first.

Be sure to include IPAW's full name early on in the message, and to mention
that this is a service to IPAW members. Also, please clarify how to respond
to just the person who posted a message vs. to the entire group (eg, if I
hit reply, does it go only to you or to everyone?)  And please include a bit
of list use etiquette and policy - when and how it is appropriate to use
this. Thanks! - Kelly
