I assume, therefore, that WPS training in Spanish of these workers will not meet the training language requirements of the WPS. Has anyone in the Forum found the need to provide training in Indian languages and, if so, how has this training been provided? QUERY #2: Has anyone in the Forum found indications that the training of workers under the U.S. WPS has had effects in Mexico, e.g. an increase in workers' concerns over pesticide dangers; an increase in information and/or protection of farm workers in Mexico, etc?

It hit a hot button. I strongly encourage an objective approach to this topic. I'm hopeful the material that is sought and subsequently distributed to youth does not present a "tunnel vision view". A hardcopy handout/coloring book on "the hazards of pesticide use and storage" tells only part of the message. When one has the teachable moment, make sure the entire story is told. No sole message should go to youth on the "hazards of pesticide use and storage". That's the same thing as only warning kids that cars cause injuries and deaths. Cars also transport one to to see and visit family, obtain groceries, to see the wonders of nature, to go the movies and so much more. In any case, cars require an understanding, responsible use and respect, as any piece of machinery. The same applies to pests and pest management. My approach to this challenge is a presentation to youth entitled "Wild World of Pest Management". See http://ianrwww.unl.edu/ianr/pat/wildwor.htm for details. I encourage others to follow a similar approach whether in presentations or printed materials. The "Wild World of Pest Management" is a 20 minute, fast moving, interactive presentation that has been warmly received by kids from 3rd to 8th grade for several years. In 1996 alone, over 2,100 students and their teachers were reached with this program as presented at outdoor day camps or earth festivals as organized by University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension, sometimes right in the school classroom. Each teacher receives a single page lesson plan on the presentation for follow-up in the classroom. The Integrated Pest Management approach is introduced in the presentation. The discussion covers the following topics 1) What are pests?, 2) Types of pests (insects, weeds, disease agents, animals), 3) Natural methods of pest control (climate, natural enemies, land/oceans, food supply), 4) Optional methods of pest control (host resistance, biological, cultural, mechanical, sanitation, pesticides) 5) Pesticide examples (naturally occuring, factory-made) 6) Use pesticides with care, read/follow the label, use pesticide gloves. A cavalier attitude about pesticides definitely is not part of this presentation. Pesticides is a topic that needs to be presented in an objective manner. Too easily, we fume at a neighbor controlling crabgrass in a lawn with a pre-emergent herbicide while we drive past on our way to a swimming pool where our kids literally swim in a pesticide solution (chlorine) or have stitches sewn on a cut at a doctor's clinic that is kept clean with more pesticides (disinfectants). And, we blindly take all the benefits for granted. I'm trying to counteract that. We're all part of a team that can increase the understanding on this topic. We have to remind ourselves that each of us has a role to serve here. I welcome everyone's cooperative involvement towards the same goal. I'm sure that our kids' learning process about pests and pest management will be more fully enchanced by the entire story. -Larry Schulze ========================================= Larry Schulze, Extension Pesticide Coordinator University of Nebraska - Lincoln 101 Natural Resources Hall, Lincoln, NE 68583-0818 Voice (402) 472-1632 FAX (402) 472-3574 E-Mail evpr003@unlvm.unl.edu Pesticide Education Resources Web Page http://ianrwww.unl.edu/ianr/pat/ephome.html ========================================= From PHASPOWELL@aol.com Tue Nov 12 18:38:09 1996 Received: from emout18.mail.aol.com (emout18.mx.aol.com [198.81.11.44]) by are.Berkeley.EDU (8.8.2/8.8.2) with SMTP id SAA20577 for ; Tue, 12 Nov 1996 18:38:05 -0800 (PST) From: PHASPOWELL@aol.com Received: by emout18.mail.aol.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) id VAA02196 for wps-forum@are.berkeley.edu; Tue, 12 Nov 1996 21:37:33 -0500 Date: Tue, 12 Nov 1996 21:37:33 -0500 Message-ID: <961112213731_1484191786@emout18.mail.aol.com> To: wps-forum@are.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: Pesticide Safety Training Materials for Young People Why not educate them on the benefits of pesticides used properly.

The Plant Doctor is a cirriculum in California which is specificaly targeted for fourth and fifth grade classrooms. A PCA goes to the classroom and gives a fifty minute presentation to classes. It includes a slide presentation. A comic book handout and a hand lens are given to the students and a binder of resource material is given to the teacher. All the materials are free to students and classroom teachers in California. For information, contact California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom in Sacramento, 916-924-4380. Under the rules of the program, only licensed California PCA's who are members of CAPCA (California Agriculture Production Consultants Association) can teach the Plant Doctor program. But, I'm sure that Wendy Jenks would be willing to share some examples of the material. She can be reached at 916-443-2476. The Plant Doctor program is an informative hands-on presentation that teaches students about agriculture. The program shows PCA's as professionals who work with farmers by diagnosing and prescribing treatments in insect, weed, and disease control, and fertilizer.

It was apparently an illegal structural pest control company using an agricultural pesticide in peoples homes to control pests. They were even leaving the customers some concentrated methyl parathion in case the pests should return. They were giving it to them in pint gin bottles! No mention was made of greenhouses. U.S. EPA investigators were on the scene. State investigators were not mentioned. This illegal activity may have been going on for 5 to 15 years. The clean up bill could be $50,000,000. I'll be checking the news wires for more details but this is what I know so far. This makes me wonder about the pesticide regulatory program in this state and others. What is the level of enforcement of the WPS? Who is enforcing the pest control laws in Mississippi? Are they the same people who are enforcing the agricultural requirements? BTW, I have had a change of my job assignment. I am now responsible for pest exclusion and detection, nursery and seed inspection. Pesticide Use Enforcement is no longer under my scope of responsibility. I will stay tuned to this forum and watch the implementation of the new California regulations in 1997.

(AP) -- Hundreds of houses in southeastern Mississippi may have to be decontaminated because unlicensed exterminators sprayed them with a cotton pesticide that can kill people when used indoors. Several people have reported becoming sick after their homes were sprayed. No deaths or hospitalizations have been reported. Dock Eatman and Paul Walls Sr., both 61, sprayed methyl parathion in homes and businesses to kill roaches and other pests for at least five years, authorities said. They were arrested Friday on misdemeanor charges of operating an unlicensed pest control business. More charges are pending. Used indoors, methyl parathion can remain highly toxic for months or years. It can sicken or kill by attacking the central nervous system. Children are particularly vulnerable; as little as a teaspoon can be lethal. Eaton said he didn't know the chemical was deadly. ``If I had known, I wouldn't have sprayed my house,'' he said Wednesday. The extent of the contamination is not yet known. More than 200 homes are being tested, and 32 families whose homes had the highest contamination seen so far have been moved to hotels, said Hagen Thompson, a spokesman for the Environmental Protection Agency response team. Five Jackson County day-care centers, a motel and a restaurant also were closed while awaiting cleanup. Denise Wainwright, her husband and their two daughters were forced to move out of their mobile home in Gautier to a hotel. She said her home had been sprayed five to seven times by one of the men. ``I know we will be spending the holidays here. It's sad,'' she said. The government-sponsored cleanup begins next month. Federal and state officials do not believe any of the contaminated homes or businesses will have to be destroyed, said Warren Dixon, another EPA spokesman. The cleanup could involve removing carpet and drywall in some cases. ``It's going to be a lot of work, but these homes will be inhabitable again,'' Dixon said. He said the cost of the cleanup depends on the extent of contamination, but estimates run as high as $50 million. A hot line for residents whose homes were sprayed by the two men has logged over 900 calls, although all may not be linked to them, Thompson said. A similar incident in Ohio in 1994 affected 237 homes.In Mississippi, two children died in Tunica County in 1984 and five other children were sickened after a home was treated with methyl parathion.

Not much time to reply because I am answering on a hotel long distance line with this e-mail. I've been here since 11/4 with a four day break for a cold or something which sent me back to Atlanta for rest. Tonight is late. We've inspected 270 homes. 40 families relocated as of tonight (160 people I think). We've receivied 1200 calls related to the two applicators plus some other new applicators. Lots of "HOT" houses. The calls keep coming in. I haven't been able to keep up with the news...we've been keeping late hours. Methyl and AMBUSH have been the pesticides of choice in this instance. Any remarks?

In Ohio they removed carpets, sheetrock and other building materials in a number of homes. Before they did that though, they tried to clean away the material in a number of ways and then tried to neutralize it in other ways, but none of them worked. It will probably be the same story in Mississippi.
