Extension Service, Little Rock Volume 9, December, 1995 News From All Over Keeping UP With Pesticide Label Changes Arkansas extension and research professionals are expected to stay abreast of pesticide label changes within their disciplines. Keeping up is exceedingly difficult as crop uses continually are being dropped from labels. The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station receives the Reregistration Notification Network bulletin from the USDA National Agricultural Pesticide Impact Assessment Program and can offer assistance in this area. The intent of the bulletin is to inform interested parties of recent or impending pesticide use cancellations and tolerance revocations. This document communicates pertinent pesticide information to interested clientele. Call Terry Lavy (501-575-3981) for inclusion on the mailing list for the Reregistration Notification Network bulletin.

Cooperative Extension Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Programs When we first started this project we identified 27 volunteer water quality monitoring programs sponsored or co-sponsored by Cooperative Extension in the United States and its territories. Now we are up to 38! We are always looking for programs we have missed and have had help from people across the country to find 'new' programs. Our latest change to this page was to identify which programs are sponsored or co-sponsored by Cooperative Extension and which are affiliated in other ways such as by providing technical assistance with trainings, educational materials, equipment, or meeting space for volunteer monitoring events. The map above shows where and to what extent Cooperative Extension is involved in volunteer water quality monitoring across the nation. Not shown is an Extension co-sponsored program in American Samoa. The first of these programs began in 1978, the most recent this year. In parentheses next to each program's name is the year that the program began. Program volunteers are monitoring a wide range of aquatic habitats including rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, estuaries, and drinking water wells.

36. Tourism: The Economic Impact Of Visitors To Your Community Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work acts of May 8 and June 30, This material is based upon work supported by the Extension service, http://www.uaf.edu/coop-ext/publications/freepubs/WREP-144.html

The Economic Impact of Visitors to your Community WREP-00144 Prepared December 1994 by George Goldman University of California, Berkeley Anthony Nakazawa University of Alaska David Taylor University of Wyoming Source: Adapted from California Economic Practices Manual (chapter 1). Impact studies that examine the economic effects within a community of development projects such as a new hotel are usually confined to a fiscal analysis of local government costs and revenues. But increasing emphasis on the total environment-social, biological, and business-calls for an appraisal of broader impacts within the community for a wholistic perspective. Economic impact studies need to provide information about the effects on jobs, income, or housing, as well as how a project will affect the community's overall environment. The effects a project has on various groups within a community (i.e. its distribution effects) are often more important than its economic efficiency. An economic impact assessment can become a useful tool for a community to use in working out what is most economically effective considering the goals for family income, distribution of benefits and costs, fiscal impacts, benefits over time, etc. The approach to setting up such a study will depend on the situation, the community, and the analyst's judgment. The study is not the final word on whether a particular choice should be made; it simply presents alternatives and their effects. The purpose of an economic study is to put some practical problems in proper perspective for a public decision-making process. Frequently, decisions must be made with less information than any community would desire.

x Purple and Iberian starthistles are noxious weeds that may infest range, pasture, and roadsides in the Pacific Northwest. As with other knapweeds and starthistles, these species are unpalatable and may replace valuable forage species. Dense infestations of these rigidly branched plants armed with long hard sharp spines make infested areas inaccessible. Grazing animals generally avoid purple starthistle, but may eat the young rosettes if other feed is not available. The sharp spines also deter people who use recreation areas. When these exotic species invade natural areas and parks, they degrade areas of native vegetation. Purple starthistle is native to the Mediterranean region, southern Europe and northern Africa. Iberian starthistle is native to Asia Minor in the region between the Caspian and Black seas. x Identification x Purple starthistle Mature plants are 1 to 4 feet tall, have a stout taproot, and are densely and rigidly branched. Young stems and leaves are covered with cobwebby hairs but usually become almost smooth with age. Lower leaves are deeply divided into oblong-linear segments; upper leaves are narrow and undivided and do not form a wing down the stem like that of yellow starthistle. The undersides of leaves are sparsely pitted with minute clear globules. Rosette leaves are deeply lobed and older rosettes have a circle of spines in the center. Flower heads, 3/4 to 1 inch long, are numerous. Flowers vary from lavender to deep purple. Marginal flowers are not enlarged. The bracts of the flower head are tipped with a stout rigid straw-colored spine about an inch long, with one to three pairs of lateral prickles near its base. The scientific name
