Pre–Notification
December 15 t h , 2010 Ecologist ( UK ) Selected and adapted excerpts
In the United Kingdom, the public will NOT HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED when crops, fields, golf courses, or parks are being sprayed with pest control products. With mock–dismay, Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists who operate in the United Kingdom FALSELY ALLEGE that medical advice on pesticide–spraying is being ignored. In fact, scient if ic evidence IS being taken into considerat ion.
The Brit ish Medical Associat ion ( BMA ), clearly infested with Enviro–Lunatic–Doctors, had advised the government that it should introduce MANDATORY NO-
TIFICATION of spraying to alert so–called « vulnerable groups », such as those suffering from respiratory problems. According to the government ―
<< We do not believe it is appropriate to introduce a statutory requirement for operators to provide advance notice of planned spray operations to members of the public living adjacent to sprayed land. >>
Typically, Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists claim that the government was pandering to the interests of the chemical industry. Farming Minister Lord Henley defended the move, saying he was following « sound scientific evidence » ―
<< By making a small number of changes to our existing ap-proach, we can continue to help feed a growing global population with high–quality food that’s affordable, while minimising the risks of using pesticides. >>
Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorist Georgina Downs alleged that it was outra-geous to suggest that there is NO compelling evidence to justify even PROHIBI-
TION of the use of pest control products in certain areas. In fact, PROHIBITION in the locality of homes, schools, children’s playgrounds, hospitals and public areas is ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY for public health pro-tection, despite the so–called « vulnerable groups ».
CRITICAL ISSUES
The critical issues raised by Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists with the use of DILUTE SOLUTIONS of pest control products in
public areas not only necessitates the implementation of RE–
ENTRY INTERVALS, but also SIGN–POSTING and NEIGHBOUR NOTIFICATION.
In many jurisdictions across Canada, the lunatic have managed
to impose NEEDLESS legislation that requires the POSTING OF
A WARNING SIGN whenever a pest control product is applied in a public area.
A SMALL SIGN is normally POSTED at the entrance of the treated area.
THE HISTORY OF SIGN–POSTING
In 1987 and 1988, the Professional Lawn Care Industry in both the Provinces of Quebec
and Ontario VOLUNTARILY ADOPTED SIGN–POSTING POLICIES.
Unfortunately, SIGN–POSTING POLICIES were originally adopted by the Professional
Lawn Care Industry in the MISTAKEN BELIEF that it would APPEASE the Environmental–
Lunatic–Terrorists.
Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists DEMANDED SIGN–POSTING with NO scientific justifi-
cation, and despite the fact that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE.
Moreover, the lunatics also DEMANDED the use of SIGNS which prominently displayed
the IMAGE OF A SKULL, again, with NO scientific justification !
As an alternative to the IMAGE OF A SKULL, sign with the internationally recognizable symbol of « DO NOT WALK » was proposed, and finally accepted by Government Offi-cials.
TERRORISTS OF ALL KINDS ARE NEVER APPEASED.
Mr. William H. Gathercole is personally credited for the CREATION OF THESE SIGNS, al-though he was personally opposed to their use, since the DILUTE SOLUTION of pest
control products applied in Professional Lawn Care programs had long been rated as «
PRACTICALLY NON–TOXIC ».
The Professional Lawn Care Industry soon realized that ADOPTING SIGN–POSTING POLICIES was a STRATEGIC ERROR, since Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists began to
realize the scale of Professional Lawn Care operations.
Once the lunatics win on sign–posting,
then they declare treated areas as DANGEROUS
Moreover, shortly after SIGN–POSTING was adopted, the lunatics publicly declared Pro-
fessional Lawn Care as « DANGEROUS » because of the hundreds–of–thousands of signs clearly visible on residential lawns throughout the community.
Cute Enviro–Terror trick ! First, Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists DEMANDED SIGN–POSTING.
Then, Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists DECLARED LAWNS WITH SIGNS AS DANGER-OUS.
ENVIRO–TERRORIST DEMANDS NEVER ENDED AFTER SIGN–POSTING
By 2004, Environmental–Terror–Organizations, like the rabid
student–operated Sierra Club of Canada, were not only de-manding SIGN–POSTING, but also PRE–NOTIFICATION OF
NEIGHBOURS PRIOR TO AN APPLICATION.
Sierra also wanted to benefit from the revenues generated by
the sale its own signs, displaying the cutesy phrase « No Pesticides. I love my family and the environment more than my lawn ». Sierra was even SELLING–FOR–PROFIT its own signs, with
LUDICROUS statements like « I love my family and the envi-ronment more than my lawn ».
According to the lunatics at Sierra ―
« It is impossible to keep pesticides confined to the place they are applied; each use of pesticides can affect up to FORTY other homes. »
In other words, if a Professional Lawn Care company were to perform a pest control appli-
cation on a residential property, Environmental–Lunatics at Sierra DEMANDED FORTY NEIGHBOUR PRE–NOTIFICATIONS.
ENVIRO–TERRORIST INTERPRETATION OF POISON CONTROL REPORTS
As justification for the LUDICROUS DEMAND of PRE–NOTIFICATION, Enviro–Terrorists at Sierra TWISTED their own interpretation of reports issued by Poison Control Centre ―
« The Quebec Poison Control Centre and the Quebec Ministry of Environ-ment and Wildlife reported a staggering 1,650 pesticide poisoning cases in 1996. Their statistics showed 79.4 per cent of the cases were in private homes and 46.1 per cent of the victims were children under age five. As well, 31 per cent of these cases were due to oral ingestion and 34.9 per cent followed a pesticide application. »
Here is another example, from David Takayoshi Suzuki, on June 21st, 2007 ―
« More than 6,000 Canadians are directly poisoned by pesticides each year and nearly half of those are children under the age of six, according to a new report by David Suzuki Foundation. »
THE FACTS CONCERNING POISONINGS CAUSED BY PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS
The fact that people across Canada are reporting such problems with pest control products
is NOT UNUSUAL.
Nor is there ANY reason to ring the alarm bells, and demand PRE–NOTIFICATON and
SIGN–POSTING.
Poison Control Centres also report MANY MORE poisonings with cooking oil, detergents,
drain cleaners, house plants, paints, solvents, etc ...
In fact, the REAL issue with MOST of these CONCENTRATED products is the MANNER IN
WHICH THAY ARE STORED IN THE HOME.
PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ARE NOT STORED SAFELY IN THE HOME
The vast majority of poisonings with children involve toxic, and CONCENTRATED, products STORED IN AN UNSECURED FASHION WITHIN THE HOME.
In 2007, Suzuki even admitted to this issue in another of his foundation reports ―
( The EMPHASIS on some words is our own )
« This disproportionate level of impact reflects a number of factors but pri-marily UNSAFE STORAGE and the different behaviours of young children who tend to put everything in their mouths and cannot read labels and respond appropriately. Parents and other adults bear some of the responsibility for protecting chil-dren from exposure to pesticides, but there is also an important role for governments in publicizing, preventing, and/or minimizing risks. »
In 2001, a Poison Control Center in the Province of Quebec reported that ...
« Close to 40 per cent of reported cases [ of poisoning by pest control products ] involve oral exposure, primarily in children, which points to the risks associated with IMPROPER STORAGE OF THESE PRODUCTS IN THE HOME. »
For decades now, the Professional Lawn Care Industry has advocated that using its ser-
vices is SAFER FOR CHILDREN than Do–It–Yourself Lawn Care.
Obviously, Professional Lawn Care Companies apply pest control products in a DILUTE SO-
LUTION.
Do–It–Yourself Homeowners who apply these same products themselves must store them
in the home in a CONCENTRATED form.
DILUTE SOLUTIONS of products are TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES LESS TOXIC than
CONCENTRATED products.
Of course, the FEAR–MONGERING Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists wish to give the FALSE IMPRESSION that children and adults are being exposed to dangerous cancer–
causing agents whenever a Professional Lawn Care company applies even DILUTED prod-
ucts.
GOLF INDUSTRY POSITION REGARDING SIGN–POSTING
On February 15th, 2008, Canadian Golf Superintendent Association ( CGSA ) declared its position on the matter of SIGN–POSTING in the Golf Industry ―
« [ ... ] most golf courses have CONTROLLED ACCESS. All golf courses are required to post signs 24 hours in advance of using pest control products.
THESE SIGNS ARE PLACED AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE GOLF COURSE, IN THE PRO SHOP AND AT THE FIRST AND TENTH TEES. Also, in most cases, entry to the property is through controlled access points where a fee is required to be paid, further limiting the possibility of unin-formed access to the property. »
This policy will NOT appease Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists, who will make MORE de-
mands.
Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists will increasingly complain that the Golf Industry DOES
NOT ADEQUATELY NOTIFY GOLFERS regarding the application of pest control products, nor are treated areas on the golf course properly or clearly identified.
Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists will DEMAND that SIGN–POSTING at the entrance to the golf course, in the pro shop, and at the first and tenth tees, IS NOT ENOUGH.
DEMANDS FOR EXTENDED SIGN–POSTING BASED UPON SOIL HALF–L IFE
Eventually ...
Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists will DEMAND that SIGNS REMAIN POSTED FOR AT LEAST
FIVE SOIL HALF–LIVES OF THE CHEMICAL, until all traces have diminished to less than five
per cent of the original concentration.
RE–ENTRY INTERVALS are considered MEANINGLESS.
See later segment entitled SOIL HALF–LIFE VALUES OF PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS.
The SOIL HALF–LIFE of pest control products used by the Golf Industry varies from 1 DAY,
to 365 DAYS, and even 1000 DAYS.
The SOIL HALF–LIVE VALUE is the period of time required for half of the quantity of a pest
control product to be degraded or evacuated in the soil.
PRE–NOTIFICATION IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO
PRE–NOTIFICATION is already a legal requirement in some jurisdictions.
In the Province of Ontario, the Golf Industry has been awarded with an EXCEPTION
STATUS from the PROHIBITION of pest control products.
However, the Golf Industry HAS NOT been excepted from PRE–NOTIFICATION.
Every golf club in Ontario must NOTIFY THE PUBLIC ANNUALLY regarding the use of pest
control products on a WEB–SITE. A report must also be provided upon request.
Furthermore, every golf club in Ontario must NOTIFY THE PUBLIC ANNUALLY at a PUBLIC MEETING held before December 1st in each calendar year.
MORE ENVIRO–TERRORIST DEMANDS
Here are more examples of DEMANDS that will be made by Environmental–Lunatic–
Terrorists ―
• PRE–NOTIFICATION in writing of all neighbours surrounding the golf course forty–eight
hours prior to application, with copies of the labels and material safety data sheets.
• SUSPENSION of all pest control product applications because of neighbours allegedly
hyper–sensitive to chemicals who reside in homes adjoining the golf course.
• SIGN–POSTING every fifty metres around any treated area just prior to the spray appli-
cation, which would include putting greens and fairways.
Environmental–Lunatic–Terrorists
will eventually demand that signs
remain posted for at least
five soil half–lives of the chemical
Environmental–Terror
will NEVER End !

Force Of Nature presents THE WHOLE TRUTH FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE from National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm the Green Space Industry (NORAHG). It is a series of Reports destined for the Green Space Industry, the Environmental
Terror Movement, Governments, and the Media, nationwide across Canada, the United States, and overseas. The information presented in Force Of Nature has been developed for the education and entertainment of the reader by providing a sequence of historical events WITH COMMENTARY. The neutrality of these Reports might be disputed. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.
HUJE are identified on the basis of their statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each Enviro Maniac Culprit is a
misguided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The use of the terms Maniac, Culprit, Terrorist, or Basterd are not accusations of any legal wrong doing. Force Of Nature is simply holding Enviro Maniac Activists accountable for conspiring to change public policies that TER-
RORIZE, HARM, and THREATEN the Green Space Industry.
HUJE is a term used to describe Enviro Maniac Activists that routinely concoct FEAR MONGERING, FRAUDULENT LIES, MISCONCEPTIONS, COERCION, THREATS, DECEPTIONS, TERROR, and PARANOID CONSPIRACIES that are DESIGNED to SCAM and DECEIVE the public into believing there is some IMAGINARY DANGER with conventional pest control products. HUJE also SCAM and DECEIVE Government Officials
into the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS CONSPIRACY to PROHIBIT conventional pest control products that are FEDERALLY LE-GAL, SCIENTIFICALLY SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE, and ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE.
HUJE have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES, BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting DESPAIR and DESTITUTION
for THOUSANDS of hapless victims throughout the Green Space Industry. The DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE of Maniac Culprit Terrorist Bas-terd HUJE is viewed as a form of TERROR, HARM, and THREAT against the Green Space Industry.
This Report provides NO guarantee regarding accuracy or completeness. In no event shall Force Of Nature be liable for any incidental or consequential damages, lost profits, or any indirect damages. Force Of Nature is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of any trade association or busi-
ness operating within the Green Space Industry. The events, characters, companies, and organizations, depicted in this Report are not al-ways fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may not be coincidental. All information, excerpts, and pictures contained
in this Report were found somewhere on the Internet, and may be considered in the public domain, serving one of the following purposes ― archive, education, promotion, publicity, or press release.
Force Of Nature, and its various incarnations, is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues. Mr. Gathercole is a principal
FOUNDER of the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry in BOTH Ontario and Quebec. He holds a degree in Horticulture from the UNI-VERSITY OF GUELPH, and another pure and applied science degree from McGILL UNIVERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green Space Industry, including GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE, and CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, and has served in environmental compli-
ance, government negotiations, public affairs, and workplace safety. Mr. Gathercole has supervised, consulted, programmed, and/or over-seen the successful and safe execution of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pest control applications in the urban landscape. He has trained,
instructed, and consulted with THOUSANDS of turf managers and technicians. Mr. Gathercole has also been an agricultural agronomist. For many years, Mr. Gathercole was a contributing columnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Canada’s Turf and Grounds Maintenance Au-
thority.
Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues have followed the evolution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a quarter century. For FIFTEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues guaranteed the control of the VERMIN OF ENVI-
RONMENTAL TERROR for the entire Modern Green Space Industry across Canada. Their involvement in Environmental Issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated, with his colleagues, legal action against the Forces of Environmental Evil in the Town of Hudson, Quebec.
Today, Mr. Gathercole is the ONLY TRUE RELIABLE WITNESS of the Hudson Affair. Mr. Gathercole is personally credited for crafting the
Golf Industry Exception Status that endures to this day. He is also the creator of the signs that are now used for posting after application. His vast knowledge of our long journey with Environmental Issues is UNDENIABLE ― hopefully ! Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although
his name continues to appear as FOUNDER of Force Of Nature.
