CONNECTICUT ASSOCIATION OF GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENTS J CONNECTICUT CLIPPINGS Volume 28, No. 3 July!August, 1994 President’s Message Peter R. Pierson CAGCS President The Environmental Industry Council, lobbyist for the pest control industry By Steven Blum CAGCS has recently completed the second and final round of the Associa­ tion Golf Championships. Participa­ tion in the tournament saw fewer entries than in recent years, but the courses of Aspetuck Valley Country Club and Crestbrook Park presented a good challenge. A strong thank you should be given to both clubs. CAGCS has received information from GCSAA regarding securing a block of rooms at the San Francisco Marriott for the 1995 Convention. We are in the process of securing these rooms for CAGCS members. Any member wishing to secure one of these blocked rooms should contact the CAGCS office by calling or fax­ ing (203/387-0810). It has come to our attention that some members are not aware of the guidelines which apply to all CAGCS meetings. They are as follows: 1. Members and guests who play golf must pay for meals served on that day. Reservations will be made by specified deadline, preferably by enclosed post card. 2. Reservations are a must. If you make a reservation and fail to attend, (continued on page 2) Steven Blum is the Public Relations Chairperson and Newsletter Editor for the CT Pest Control Association (CPCA). Our associations share newsletters, and this article is reprinted with his per­ mission. Environmental Committee Co- chairperson Representative Jesse Strat­ ton's pet bill, SB 284, which would have required supervisors on all jobs, increased label information given to consumers, and promote neighborhood feuds, was killed. No new legislation that would effect PCOs. No intense training programs to upgrade your service techs from operators to super­ visors. No new labels to write up. No additional costs of running your busi­ ness. No new hassles. No change. No effort, on your part. Things worked out...like magic. It was not magic! It was hard work, done with professionalism. The CPCA is a member of The Environ­ mental Industry Council, formerly the PPUC, which is the lobbying arm of the CPCA. Simply stated, Armondo Paolino, III is our lobbyist. He not only represents the pest control indus­ try, he represents lawn care, golf courses, arborists, Christmas tree growers, groundskeepers, nurserymen and any other pesticide user industry that is a member of The Environmen­ tal Industry Council. The Connecticut legislative system is complex, with apparently never- ending series of procedural steps, open committee votes, published versions of the bill as it goes through changes, public hearings, cost analysis, legal reviews, political evaluations, and lobbying. The goal of the current sys­ tem is to prevent backroom power brokers from slipping through self- serving legislation. Thus, it is easier to kill a bill than to pass a bill. Yet, if an industry and their lobbyist want to gain respect and influence, they cannot act like hit men trying to kill any bill they do not like. They will work to kill a bill, when neces­ sary. They compromise. They get the bad parts removed. They get awk- (continued on page 3) PARTAC GOLF COURSE TOP-DRESSING AMERICA'S PREMIUM HEAT TREATED TOP-DRESSINGS 1YMIT CEOTEXTILES & TURF BLANKETS U.S. GOLF HOLE TARGETS' AND MUCH MORE! 800-247-2326 DISTRIBUTED IN CT BY: (AMES CARRIERE & SONS 914-937-2136 VALLEY FARMS SUPPLY 203-651-8555 S&R tournament set for October 4th Torrington Country Club Edward Goodhouse, supt.

If you attend a CAGCS monthly meeting and fail to return the enclosed post card for your reservation, you will be charged an additional $20. If you have ever hosted a CAGCS meeting, you will understand why we must follow these guidelines. Our monthly meetings are designed to financially break even. At some meet­ ings, a small profit may be realized, but other meetings can operate in the red We must all work towards observing the meeting guidelines which were put into place to protect the association. Please show your professionalism by observing the guidelines. I wish to publicly thank Greg Stent, golf course superintendent at Wampa­ noag Country Club, for hosting a very nice CAGCS Invitational on June 7th. Nomination time is upon us. If you have any interest in serving on the Board of Directors of CAGCS or on a committee, please make your desire known to John Streeter, Immediate Past President. The life blood of the Board of Directors is members who are interested in the betterment of CAGCS and its members.

They make more friends than enemies. SB 284, after having parts removed and changed that would have negatively impacted the professional pesticide user industry, was killed by the over-the-counter retail lawn care product industry, using a one-shot lob­ byist. White this group monitored the progress of SB 284 through communi­ cation with Paolino, they are not members of The Environmental Indus­ try Council. Paolino and the directors approached the bill from the needs, short term and long term, of the mem­ ber professions. This retail group had to spend con­ siderable monies to hire lobbyists to kill the bill. They had a legislator refer the bill back to committee, a move that, in this case, essentially killed the bill. Paolino could have made the same maneuver, but The Environmental Industry Council does not represent the concerns of the retail product manufacturers. If they were a member, the Council would have fought for their interests. The Environmental Industry Council has decided that its primary purpose is lobbying for their member organiza­ tions. Rather than react to crises, we must have the power to control our future. And power is in membership, and the dues that can support a full­ time lobbyist Individual and company members are being actively sought, with all pesticide professions a prime target. If you are not a member, you are a freeloader! If The Environmental Industry Coun­ cil cannot afford to continue to exist, then our industries will revert back to the "good old days" when we learned about legislation after it was passed and DEP announced new regulations that affected us dramatically.

GCSAA staff realigns to provide improved member services GCSAA has announced a series of changes in its manage­ ment structure and staffing designed to reflect a renewed com­ mitment to outstanding member service. The changes result­ ed from months of strategic planning and analysis involving the association's board, member-driven committees and the entire GCSAA headquarters staff. GCSAA Chief Executive Officer Stephen F. Mona, CAE, called the new structure "more efficient, more effective and more reflective of the needs of today's superintendent." He added that, "Our objective is to become one of the nation's finest service organizations by the year 2000. These changes create the structure needed to accomplish that goal." Among the key changes announced were: • Creation of three new departments in the areas of chapter relations, career development and technical information services. • Consolidation of public relations, government relations, publications and advertising sales functions into a single communications department • Merging marketing functions with management of the annual GCSAA Trade Show and Golf Championship. "The new departments will help us fulfill critical member needs," Mona said. "Our members told us they wanted stronger ties between GCSAA and chapters, more employ­ ment assistance and a 'one-stop' source of technical informa­ tion, so we directed people and resources into those areas." GCSAA makes donation to USGA research program During one of golfs most important events, the GCSAA made an important contribution to the game of golf. At a VIP reception during the U.S. Open, GCSAA President Joseph G. Baidy, CGCS, donated $25,000 on behalf of the association to the USGA's Environmental Research Program. During the donation presentation, Baidy said, "As we all know, golf is facing heightened environmental awareness from the media and the public. This awareness is creating concerns that influence the management of our existing courses and the development of new ones. The issue of golf Cain central control of any existing controllers, regardless of make or manufacturer. Each COPS-Universal radio field unit has up to 42 stations per field unit. Ideal for retro-fitting parks, median strips, school grounds, and golf courses. COPS-Universal lets you change any field controller into a field satellite and manage your entire system from a central PC. COPS- Universal offers: • Communication by repeating or direct radio. (No new controllers or communication wire.) • Unlimited programs, unlimited start and run times to meet all your water management needs. • Freedom to use valves as you choose, regardless of hard-wiring constraints.

The results from the USGA's Environmental Research program should provide a better understanding of how golf courses can minimize their effects on the environment, as well as give golf a solid foundation for future research. Through this donation, GCSAA is proud to be part of these efforts." The reception, attended by GCSAA members, allied golf association officials and media representatives, was held on June 17th, at Oakmont Country Club, site of the 94th U.S. Open. Oakmont's golf course superintendent, Mark D. Huhns, CGCS, and his staff were the guests of honor at the reception.
