Government Officials, the Green Space I ndu st r y, and the

public were assured by Enviro–Maniac–Activists that so–called

safe and effective Green Alternatives were already available to
replace conventional pest control products. [ Wr ong ! ] The
Green Alternatives are B O G U S , L E S S E F F E C T I V E , and
S T UNN INGL Y EXP ENS I VE !

V IRT UALL Y ALL Green Alternatives are BOG US , and have

negatives ranging from almost T OT AL INEFFE CT IVENESS
except under very specific circumstances, to a question about
their T OXICIT Y .

There are NO valid alternatives to conventional pest control

products !

Without the use of conventional pest control products, many ju-

risdictions have had to resort to the back–breaking and agoniz-
ing job of WE ED PULLIN G BY H AND !

Municipalities C A N N O T afford the high cost manual labour

required for weed pulling. Consequently, Government Officials
enlist the help of resident V O L U N T E E R S , most of whom are
elderly and unemployed.

In cities like Lawrence, Kansas, Government Officials are

now reverting back to conventional pest control since residents
are no longer interested to volunteer their time in a losing battle
against weeds.

N OT A SINGL E Environmental–Maniac–Activist has AN Y

recognized expertise, training or background in matters concern-
ing pest control products or the management of Green Spaces !
The opinions of Enviro–Maniac–Activists in matters concerning
turf management and weed control are V A L U E L E S S and
WORTHLESS.

The C ARN AGE of Enviro–Maniac–Basterds is converting the

professional labour force of the Green Space Indust r y into a
group of mere Co tt on–P ickers !
 To convert all parks to pesticide-free,
a cost analysis has estimated that
the City of Lawrence would have to spend
213,000 dollars for equipment,
116,000 dollars annually for staff, and
95,000 dollars annually for materials.

Cost considerations lead to a

LM W eek in Review

On June 7 [ 2005 ], in response to pressure from environmental

[ terror ] activists, the city commissioners of Lawrence, Kansas,
voted unanimously to designate W atson Park as « p es tic id e–
f r ee ». The seven–acre park adjacent to the downtown was part of
the original town of Lawrence.

W atson Park will be a T E S T C A S E so that the community can see

the results of a pesticide–free maintenance program.
Fred DeVictor, director of Parks and Recreation, said his depart-
ment would also use the park to find out how much pesticide–free
management will actually cost the city.

Although the parks and recreation department showed it spends

less than $10,000 a year for pesticides, activists had lobbied the
city's commissioners to convert all of the city's 52 parks to PESTI-
CIDE–FREE MAINTENANCE by 2009. However, a COST ANALYSIS by the
Parks and Recreation staff estimated that the city would have to
spend $213,000 for equipment; $116,000, annually for staff; and
$95,000, annually for materials to achieve that goal.

In a May 11 [ 2005 ] memo to the City Manager giving details of the

budget requirements for a proposed pesticide–free maintenance
program, Mark Hecker, Park & Maintenance Superintendent wrote :

<< Most of our professional staff, and most of the horti-

cultural industry, do not believe this is the most cost ef-
fective way to manage a park system. If requested, we
could provide testimony from industry experts, articles
and quotes from trade publications and research done by
universities and professional organizations that would de-
tail the proper and safe use of pesticides as a manage-
ment tool. We have concerns that our inability to use pes-
ticides may reduce the quality of our parks and could
threaten the long–term health of the City's parks, trees,
shrubs and flowers. >>

After discussion, it was decided to designate a « s ign a tu r e » pes-

ticide–free park and eventually compare the results to the city's
other parks.

City of Lawrence, Kansas

Retrieved March 24 t h , 2010

In May 2005, the Lawrence City Commission requested the Parks

and Recreation Department to select a park to conduct a pilot
program, maintaining it as a pesticide–free area for a one–year pe-
riod. Lawrence Parks and Recreation staff chose W atson Park in
Downtown Lawrence.

During this time, the department experimented with non–pesticide

products to manage weeds, insects, and fungi in the park, as well as
DEVELOP A VOLUNTEER NETWORK to help manage the space. Volun-
teers assisted with the park by weeding the flower and shrub beds.

[ GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS REVERTED BACK TO CONVENTIONAL PEST CONTROL SINCE RESIDENTS ARE NO LONG-
ER INTERESTED TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME IN A LOSING BATTLE AGAINST WEEDS. ]

When pesticide use is necessary, signs will be posted one hour

prior to application. They will be placed in highly visible areas and
remain up for 24 hours after application. The notification signs will
include: the name and active ingredient of the pesticide product,
the target pest, the date of pesticide use, and contact information
for the city department.
