    The leading ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR ORGANIZATIONS, theones that are already conspiring to impose prohibition-ist policies on the PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY inevery Province across Canada, have publicly stated, inone form or another, that theyDO NOT WANT ANY PROHI-BITION EXCEPTIONS pertaining to pest control productsfor the GOLF INDUSTRY.

    The TEN following organizations have publicly stated, inone form or another, that theyDO NOT WANT ANY PROHI-BITION EXCEPTIONS pertaining to pest control products

    for the GOLF INDUSTRY. As we speak, they are aggres-sively lobbying government legislators, demanding thatany exception status be rescinded or avoided.

    Furthermore, as a publiclyfuorganization, influencing ppolicy to prohibit pest co

    Perhaps the health of the pmay be better served if all thsources of Canadian Cancer ety and other environmentaganizations, currently focusedthe prohibition of FEDERALEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY Sand TOTALLY IRREPLACEApest control products, were rected towards improving the

    style choices of the populasuch as diet and exercise.

    Instead, Canadian Cancer Sohas preferred to conspire other organizations to prohibiuse of FEDERALLY LEGAL, ENTIFICALLY SAFE, and TOTAIRREPLACEABLE pest co

    products.

    Regardless of its exception status, the GOLF INDUSTRY faces some huge challenges because ofits high degree ofVULNERABILITY concerning several public affairs issues. FORCE OF NAT UREhas extensively reviewed these issues, and has concluded that, in order to successfully deterthe malicious efforts of all ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR GROUPS, the GOLF INDUSTRY must IMMEDI-ATELY address the following FIFTEEN critical issues.

    1. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must cease focusing on the ineffectual I.P.M. as the solution to its public af-fairs problems.

    2. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must clearly provide scientific facts that explain why its chemicals are definitelyminimumrisk.

    3. The GOLF IN D U S TR Y must denounce the green alternatives to pest control, the socalled biologicalnaturalorganic methods, as almost ineffective and nonexistent.

    4. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must develop a fully transparent and publicly accessible database for righttoknow information concerning its chemicals.

    5. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must directly and actively support litigation launched against the Ontario pro-hibition of pest control products, and cease being a mere casual observer.

    6. The GOLF IN D U S TR Y must embark on a massive public relations campaign to stop the proposedscheme by environmental groups and National Democratic Party of Canada for a national prohibitionof pest control products.

    7. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must explain why some of its chemicals are prohibited by other nations, butnot in Canada, and cease the WAG TH E DO G policies on irrelevant issues such as saving quintozene.

    8. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must review and justify its current and extensive array of chemicals.

    9. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must plan for the inevitable loss of its exception status in Ontario and Quebecin three to five years.

    10. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must provide the public with scientific information supporting the idea that itsinnovative management practices may reduce the use of pest control products.

    11. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must publish golf maintenance protocols and the performance standards ex-pected by its playing customers.

    12. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must scientifically define and publically discredit the misleading term O R GA N ICG OLF COU R S E, and establish policies for expelling clubs using this term from its trade associations.

    13. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must strongly address and discredit the misconceptions concerning imidaclo-prid, chlorothalonil, 2,4

    D, and other chemicals.

    14. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must terminate all relationships with environmental groups like Canadian Can-cer Society, World Wildlife Fund, and others, and suspend all related charitable tournaments thatprovide financial donations and support to these groups.

    15. The GO LF IN D U S TR Y must openly and financially support all political candidates that oppose anyprohibition legislation.

    Force of Nature was launched for continuous transmission on the Internet on January 1st,2009. It is a series of enewsletters destined for the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, the EN-

    VIRONMENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT, government officials, municipalities, and the

    media, nationwide across Canada, and parts of the United States and overseas. FORCE OF

    NATURE is produced in two parts. First. The MEDIA REPORT itself that reports on the

    current events affecting the future of the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY. Second. INDE-

    PENDENT PERSPECTIVE, which is a running commentary, sometimes technical in nature.

    Force of Nature is the WHOLE TRUTH from an INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE !

    FORCE OF NATURE is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage. Norah

    G is actually an acronym for the stable of anonymous producers and writers that contribute to

    this enewsletter and have now replaced Mr. Gathercole. They consist of people from the

    following industries : Distribution, Fertilizer, Golf, Lawn Care, Manufacturing, Municipal,

    Nursery, Orchard. Many of these people are leaders in their own industries. The opinions

    expressed in Force of Nature, even though from an INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE, may

    not reflect those of everyone in the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, or Mr. Gathercoles many

    associates. Be warned ! Mr. Gathercole and Norah G may sometimes be very irreverent and

    fearless with these enewsletters. DONT THANK US. ITS A PUBLIC SERVICE. ANDWE ARE GLAD TO DO IT.

    William H. Gathercole holds a degree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY 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 public affairs, personal

    safety, and environmental issues. Mr. Gathercole has been a consultant and instructor for

    decades. He has also been an agricultural agronomist. Mr. Gathercole has followed the evo-

    lution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a quartercentury. His involvement in

    environmental issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated, with others, legal action against unethical and excessive mu-

    nicipal regulations restricting the use of pest control products. ( i.e. the Town of Hudson. ) Although he can be accused of being ANTI

    ENVIRONMENTMOVEMENT, he is, in fact, simply a strong advocate FOR the GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, from an INDEPENDENT

    PERSPECTIVE. However, this position has not precluded him from criticizing the Green Space Industry itself. Nonetheless, his vast knowledge

    of our long journey with environmental issues is UNDENIABLE. ( Hopefully ! ) For many years, Mr. Gathercole has been a contributing col-

    umnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Canadas Turf and Grounds Maintenance Authority. Mr. Gathercole is now retired from Force of Na-

    ture, although his name continues to appear as the founder.

    All document excerpts and pictures contained in FORCE OF NATURE were found somewhere on the Internet. We believe that they are in the

    public domain, serving one of the following purposes : archive, education, promotion, publicity, or press release.

    We believe that ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM can be BEATEN ! Information presented in FORCE OF NATURE has been developed for

    the education and entertainment of the reader. The events, characters, companies, and organizations, depicted in this document are not always

    fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, may not be coincidental. The mission of Force of Nature is as a National Organization

    Responding Against Huje that harm the Green Space Industry with statements and activities seeking to prohibit FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIEN-

    TIFICALLY SAFE, and TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE conventional pest control products. Culprits are identified on the basis of their state-

    ments, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each culprit is a misguided adversary, each still deserves our respect. The terms

    culprit or terrorist are not an accusation of any legal wrongdoing. Force of Nature is simply holding culprits accountable for conspiring to

    change public policies that TERRORIZE and THREATEN the Green Space Industry. Force of Nature believes that the prohibitionist policies of

    the ENVIRONMENTAL TERROR MOVEMENT will lead to UNEMPLOYMENT, BANKRUPTCY, BUSINESS FAILURE, DESPAIR, and

    DESTITUTION. The actions of culprits in the movement are viewed as a form of TERROR against the Green Space Industry.
