Massachusetts Golf Association, the
hiring of the ever-efficient Janice Vance
as association secretary, the expansion
of the turf conference into a regional
event, the no-nonsense stands on such
issues as the Pesticide Disclosure Act, and
the continuing efforts to elevate the golf
course management profession.
DiRico says he's been fortunate to be
around when all those accomplishments
(plus numerous others) happened. "I've
always underestimated myself and for
good reason," Bob explained. "Becoming
part of an organization can become a
frightening thing, especially when you're
asked to serve on its governing board.
That was the case nine years ago when
Dick Zepp and Dave Barber (past presidents) approached me on the idea. The
responsibility attached to it has overwhelmed me ever since."
Zepp and Barber, then, are part of
the past-presidents' brigade that's helped
DiRico get over more than one administrative hump. Others in the group include
Don Hearn, Ron Kirkman, Chip Brearley,
Tony Caranci, Bob Grant, and Leon St.
Pierre. "What can I say about those
guys?" said DiRico. "Whenever I needed a
boost, a much-needed piece of advice, one
or the other was there. They're people
who never let you down."
Speaking of Brearley, DiRico makes it
clear just how much of himself the former
president gave setting up and effecting
control of the turf conference. "Chip's a
shaker and mover," Bob explained.
"He put everything he had in that most

important move. He received help from
people like Jim Conant and Charlie
Passios. You don't get something like
that finalized sitting around waiting for
someone else to do it."
DiRico also has high praise for individual chairmen of committees and other
executive officers who serve beyond
normal limits.
"A lot of our executive officers and
chairmen come through at the thankless
jobs, the ones many members think get
done by themselves," Bob pointed out.
"Take golf chairman. I did that one. I
know what it means to line up courses for

the Mucciarone twins (Norm and Bob)
who taught him how to break up the
pesty cliques; former golf chairman Steve
Murphy who set an early pace in that
operation; scholarship and benevolence
chairman Dave Comee; treasurer Bob
Ruszala, who smoothed out a few financial wrinkles during his tenure; and of
course, his immediate boss, the Brae Burn
Country Club, that understood and appreciated the responsibility that comes with
presiding over an ambitious group like
the GCSANE.
"I'm still amazed at the total commitment some of our directors, presidents,
and others have made to the association
over the years," Bob offered. "For some
it's been an unreal commitment. Some
have been in the administration ranks for
as many as 15 years. When I complete
two years as past president, it will mark
nine years for me."
Some other people who have had an
influence on DiRico in his two years at
the GCSANE controls are Joe and Lonnie
Troll of Massachuetts Turf Conference
and Stockbridge fame, a number of MGA
officials who steered him through board
meetings there, and his late father,
Joseph, who passed away last May in what
Bob labeled "a bittersweet time in my
career when I lost the greatest friend a
man can have, while preparing my golf
course for the prestigious U.S. Women's
Amateur Championship. So it was an
eventful year, filled with accomplishments
and emotional eventualities."
It should be added that it also was a
prosperous two years for the Golf Course
Superintendents Association of New
England, when Bob presided over it in
the spirit and success of many of its
legendary leaders. While bowing to his
obvious humility, it must be recorded that
he's a credit to the office he's leaving.

"The Smper Speaks Out
This month's

question:
How were your late-season maintenance/repair plans affected
when Mother Nature tossed in a sneak punch with an early-November snowstorm?
M a r k Gagme, Walpole Country Club:
"Just about everything I had planned to
take care of in those slow golfing days
just before Thanksgiving was thrown into
a mess when we got hit with that storm.
I looked back at my records and found
out that this was the earliest snow we've
had here since 1989. So it wasn't something all of us expected.
"To be perfectly frank, it screwed up
my whole schedule. We have a lot of
green restoration work on the agenda, a
heavy bout with sodding, some bunker
restoration, and in genera!, much vital
outside work we can't even attempt when
there is a full boatload of golfers on
the course. The sodding project was a
complete mess. The sod was laid out for
^ good 10 days and the storm pulled a
4iOuble-whammy on me. First, if it warmed
up, the ground got too muddy. Then, with
the ice forming overnight, the ground
got too hard and rutty. I couldn't win
either way.
"I suppose the green restoration
project was the hardest hit. This is very
important and on a time schedule drawn
up to bring all of our greens back to
the size they were before an actual downsizing of them was put into place 15 years
ago. Since we started our way back we've
been doing about two greens a year to
produce the original size and look. The
storm threw a monkey wrench into
that plan.
"Regardless of the actual snow
periods (there were two of them), the
most exasperating thing was hanging
around waiting for a meltdown. That was
the hardest setback to endure. Usually,
an early storm is followed by warmerthan-predicted weather, but that never
happened.
"Therefore, I was between a rock and
^ a hard place with my crew. I had eight
j ien waiting on the sun to stir up some
favorable working conditions. There i
was, holding on to them and waiting for a
break. Heading into the first of December

I was getting a little nervous and
convinced that no matter how much technology we come up with in this business,
we still have to bow down to Mother
Nature when she wants to take control."
B r i a n Skinner, Bellevue Golf Club:
"This (eariy snow) was all I needed,
because this is my first year as head
superintendent here, and I wanted the
transition from assistant to top man to be
as uncomplicated as possible. But Mother
Nature had other plans.
"We had two storms. The first was
Friday (Nov. 14) and the next was two
days later when we got another three
inches to add to the six or seven we got
the first time it snowed.
"Unfortunately, I had a lot of irons in
the maintenance fire when the storms
arrived. I had to get my snow mold spraying going, my irrigation lines had to be
blown out, and other little things that get
done when the season winds down were
stiil there waiting to be done. But the
snow put a crimp in ail my plans.
"That and what followed the storms.
All we had were night temperatures in
the low 20s and little or no sunlight
during the day. The meitdown was a slow
and agonizing process. It caught me by
complete surprise.
"Which meant that I had to think
about shoveling off some of my greens
in order to get back to work on them.
Shoveling also can be a risky business,
but I had to do something as we headed
into December.
"Like I said earlier, I didn't need this
kind of a reception from the late-season
weather to get me past my first year as
head super here, it's just the way the ball
bounces, I guess. I never dreamed I'd
have to make a decision about having to
shovel greens in the middle of November.
But those kinds of decisions come with
moving up in your career. I won't forget
this year. You'd better believe it."

J i m Conant, Pittsfieid Country Club:
"I picked a good time to come 'home'.
I mean, here I am, back where I was
brought up, and I get hit with a real
weather shot no one expected.
"Yeah, I know. I should have been
prepared. This is the Berkshires. This is
my first year as super here after sunning
myself at Kings Way (Yarmouth) and
snow's always on the menu when you're
rubbing elbows with Vermont.
"But, really, the early-November storm
caught me by surprise. We got seven
inches Nov. 14, another three Nov. 16,
and some sleet in between. Not only has
it been a rough beginning of winter, but
I hear that we're in for some snow squalls
in the next few days.
"Naturally, all of this affected my
maintenance plans. The big probiem is
someone eise's problem. An outside
company had two holes to be compieted
on a new irrigation system. But they'll
get it done.
"My projects are piling up because
of the storm's aftermath. There's no
meltdown yet and none in sight. I have
plenty of in-house work on hold, including
some important tree pruning and removal.
This is the only time we can do that
stuff, and even if we do get through
it, it's a slow process. When you have
a distraction like snow, the blood
pressure goes up and the energy level
goes down.
"We'll be behind on all the regularly
planned things, and then we get to
the normal responsibilities of snow
removal, platform tennis and squash
court upkeep, and putting a shine on
our equipment. The storms? They proved
to be the disruption you shouldn't get
when the golf season comes to an
end. I guess the break-in period here
for me was a short one. The honeymoon
is over."

Report

on Pesticide

A report from the office of State Senator
Lois Pines, chair of the Natural
Resources and Agriculture
Committee
Why the bill is necessary:
c
Pesticides are toxic by design. Therefore, in addition to their intended effect
on target pests, they may harm nontarget organisms like beneficial insects,
fish, wildlife, domestic animals and
humans. Of particular concern are the
impacts to infants and children who
experience higher exposures to some
pesticides than adults on a bodyweight
basis and who are more vulnerable to
developmental effects, many of which
are unknown or understudied.
8

People are exposed to pesticides
through uses in food production,
forestry, landscaping, on golf courses,
lawns and gardens, and in the home and
other building spaces. Persons who may
be exposed, or whose property may be
exposed, to toxic chemicals have a right
to know about such exposures before
they occur.
• For more than 90 percent of the pesticides currently on the market, testing
adequate to examine the full range of
reproductive and developmental effects
simply has not been done. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently
studying many of these chemicals,
which were grandfathered when EPA
took over the pesticide registration
process in 1970. In addition to the lack
of testing data, there is limited information concerning the use and application
of pesticides. Until these chemicals can
be proven safe, the public should be as
well-informed about them as possible.
o Current Massachusetts law requires
licensed and certified pesticide applicators to maintain records of pesticide
applications, but it does not provide for
systematic collection, centralization or
organization of this information into an
accessible format. Thus, it is difficult to
understand or address the health and
environmental impacts of pesticide use.
Comprehensive, accurate, computerized
data on pesticide use will provide valuable information to the public and will
assist in efforts to assess the impacts of
pesticides on human health and the environment, such as the potential link
between pesticides and breast cancer.

Disclosure

What the bill does:
• Requires the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) to develop a statewide pesticide
use computer database capable of providing information to the general public in
a format which is useful and easy to understand. Requires that the database be
used to set priorities for food monitoring, pesticide use enforcement, farm
worker safety programs, environmental
monitoring, pest control research, and
public health monitoring and research.
0
Requires all certified and licensed
pesticide applicators to file reports twice
a year with the Massachusetts DEP
concerning pesticide use.

• Requires certified and licensed pesticide applicators to provide the following
notification of any spraying or other
application of pesticides:
• in the case of aerial applications or applications to rights-of-way, applicators must
publish notice in the local newspaper at
least 48 hours prior to application;
8

in the case of agricultural applications, applicators must provide annual written
notification to local boards of health and
occupants of abutting properties;

• in the case of lawn care, tree care, or landscaping, applicators must provide written
notification to occupants of abutting properties 48 hours prior to application.

• Requires any applicator applying pesticides outdoors to post signs along the
perimeter of the area to be sprayed prior
to the application, and to leave the signs
up for 48 hours after the application.
Prohibits the application of pesticides
on school property when children are
present.
8
Requires each school committee in
Massachusetts to develop and implement a policy to provide school employees, students, and their parents or
guardians notice before pesticides are
sprayed or applied on school property.
0

Requires the Department of Food and
Agriculture to promote the use of integrated pest management and other
alternate pest control methods in order
to reduce toxic chemical exposures to
people, agriculture, water, and soils.
" Requires every state agency to adopt
and implement integrated pest management for all state-owned buildings and
grounds.

Act, S. 1886
® Requires the Department of Public
Health to establish a plan to increase
the number of applications to the
breast cancer research program from
researchers who propose to investigate
the potential connection between
pesticides and breast cancer.

Summary of content and changes to
the Pesticide Disclosure Act (S. 1062)
as of July 3, 1997
Section 1, Goals of the Act. Acknowledges the
fundamental right of Massachusetts citizens to
know about pesticide use. the toxicity of pesticides,
the current lack of a useful compilation of data on
pesticide use and that Massachusetts citizens are
being denied their right to know about pesticide use
in the Commonwealth. States policy goals of the act
as the creation of an accessible database and the
provision of advance notice to the public about
pesticide applications so they may reduce their
exposure.
Section 2, Reporting. Sections 1 & 2, Pesticide
Use Reporting. Provides for the creation of a statewide pesticide use computer database capable of
providing accessible information to the general public about pesticide use by five-digit zip code or stree£_
address. The database will be developed and ope

INFORMATION
Pesticide label registration changes every year in
all states and you can only legally apply pesticides
according to the current year's label. The 1998
New England Management Recommendation
Guide for Insects, Diseases, and Weeds of Shade
Trees and Woody Ornamentals tells you what is
current and legal for use in all the New England
states. An updated version of a popular Massachusetts guide, this is the way for you to stay current
with pesticide information. If you already have the
1997 version, this is the updated supplement for
pesticide information. Remember, if you're a pesticide applicator, it's the law! Created by Extension
professionals and foresters from all six New England states as well as the U.S. Forest Service and
the UMass Urban Forestry Diagnostic Lab, this
manual offers the latest on virtually all the insects,
diseases, and weeds of woody plants in New England; current and legal listings of chemical
compounds labeled for the management of these
pests; ¡PM considerations for most of these pests;
environmentally friendly alternatives in pest management such as horticultural oils, soaps,
biologicals, etc.; and growing degree day (GDD)
information for most of the insect pests of woody
plants. The updated 1998 New England Management Recommendations Guide will be available in
April. Send $20 (payable to UMass) after April 1,
1998 to Bulletin Center, Draper Hall, Box 32010,
University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 010032010; tel. (413) 545-2717.

Kevin L. Miller, Sr., of Bedrock Golf Course,
Rutland, Mass., has earned an environmental management specialist certificate from GCSAA for
completing a specialization program for Integrated Plant Management.
GCSAA is addressing the environmental impact
of golf course maintenance and the increasingly
complex training needs of golf course superintendents by offering specialized training through its
Environmental Management Program (EMP).
The Vermont Golf Course Superintendents Association is hosting a GCSAA seminar on March 17,
1998 at the Equinox Hotel in Manchester, Vermont. The seminar is "Wetlands & Golf Courses"
which should provide attendees with pertinent
information all golf course superintendents can
use. Manchester is very close to some great south-

ern Vermont ski areas, and the Equinox Hotel is
offering a special room rate of $60.00 per night for
a four diamond hotel. This is a great opportunity
to mix a little business with pleasure. The spring
skiing is usually great that time of year.
Our condolences go out to Kevin Lyons and his
family on the passing of Kevin's father recently.
We were saddened to hear that Tom Morris'
(Berkshire Hills) father passed away. Our condolences to Tom and his family.

Ouimet Fund News

Sarazen presented with Lifelong Contributions to Golf Award
T h e Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund
presented legendary golfer Gene Sarazen
with its second Francis Ouimet Award
for Lifelong Contributions to Golf Award
at its 49th Annual Banquet on January
6, 1998 at Lombardo's in Randolph.
"Gene Sarazen is one of the greatest
players and personalities in the history
of golf, and we are thrilled to honor him
with this special award," said Steve Buckley, Ouimet Fund president. "Among his
many accomplishments, he was the first
player to win the professional grand
slam, he invented the sand wedge, and
his double eagle at 15 in the 1935
Masters is considered one of the greatest
shots ever hit. He endeared himself to
many others in a later generation as TV

host of 'Shell's Wonderful World of
Golf.' He is still an honorary starter at
The Masters. He was also very close to
Francis Ouimet, and a great supporter of
The Ouimet Fund."
A special tribute to Sarazen was
presented and an interview was shown.
Sarazen is now 95 years of age and lives
in Marco Island, Florida, and was represented by a granddaughter who lives in
the Boston area.
The inaugural "Francis Ouimet for
Lifelong Contributions to Golf" award
was presented by the Ouimet Fund to
Arnold Palmer in January of 1997.
The Ouimet banquet was attended by
an audience of guests from throughout
the Massachusetts golf community. The

featured speaker was former Sports Illustrated writer, editor, and publisher Mark
Mulvoy. joining Mulvoy was Ouimet Scholar
Billy Herman (Boston University and Blue
Hill C.C.) as Student Speaker. Mike Lynch
of WCVB-TV was master of ceremonies.
The Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund
was founded in 1949 and provides needbased college tuition assistance to young
people who have worked three years as
caddies or helpers in pro shop or course
superintendent operations in Massachusetts.
This year the fund is setting its fifth consecutive record, planning to award $550,000 to
270 students. Since founding, the Ouimet
Fund has awarded over $8.3 million to
3,300 young people. The Ouimet Fund is a
501 (c) (3) organization.
