Extractions: You are visitor A separate and distinct area of gardening is that of the Master Gardener - the voluntary arm of the Agricultural Extension Services. As a Past President and member of the Harris County Master Gardener Association (Houston, Texas), I am more familiar with the Texas Master Gardener program but Master Gardening is nationwide in scope and on this page I will be attempting to put it all together. I am often asked the question, "Who and what are 'Master Gardeners'"? The following comments, questions and answers are geared primarily to the Texas Master Gardener Program. However, with slight differences, they also apply to all 50 states since all now have "Master Gardener Programs". They also generally apply in the four Canadian provinces with the program except for the sponsorship of Cooperative Extension agencies. Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to their communities.

Extractions: Lesson 1 - Arguments to Management for Accessible Sites These arguments were given by the 85 participants in the accessibility class offered to NETC and ACE members at Land-Grant Institutions (August/September 2000). Arguments for Making Your Site Universally Acceptable Thank you to everyone who sent arguments for making your site accessible. You will find that many of the arguments contain similar themes (phrased differently) that will be a great help to all of us when presenting information. Arguments Although a student with a disability at the University has resources available to him or her to acquire a reasonable accommodation (for any non-accessible materials on University web space) but what about disabled prospective students, visitors, and alumni? Their right to peruse University web space is guaranteed under ADA's public access guidelines. You mean you don't want to communicate with international colleagues? What about corporate partners who might be using web phones and web PDA's?

Extractions: Assess Conservation Measures US Department of Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced that the University of Idaho was awarded a $640,000 three-year grant to study the effectiveness of conservation practices to protect water quality in the Paradise Creek Watershed. Paradise Creek is in Latah County and runs through Moscow and the University of Idaho campus. This was one of only four projects funded nationally through the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP). The other three projects funded by this competitive program are in Iowa, Ohio, and Utah. These four funded projects will expand the scope of USDAs efforts to understand how conservation practices affect water quality in agricultural watersheds, Veneman said. This project was written and is led by environmental water quality engineer Jan Boll. Boll has focused his research efforts on Paradise Creek since joining the University of Idaho faculty in 1996. Other investigators on the grant are J. D. Wulfhorst and Murat Isik, both assistant professors in Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, and Bob Mahler, professor and water quality coordinator in Soil Science. The Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI), Latah Soil and Water Conservation District, and USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are major partners in this effort.
