FT Page A-12 - D m kin T k i i u m : • Wednesday, November 3, 2004 Forest Service releases national strategy on weed species The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service recently un veiled a national strategy to prevent and control the threat of invasive species and non-native plants in the United States. This action is part of the Presidentis Healthy Forests Initiative to restore forest and rangeland health and protect communities from wildland fire and supports the President's Executive Order promoting cooperative con servation. \Millions of acres of public and private lands are at risk from non native species. Each year the United States loses 1.7 million acres to the spread of these invasives, in addition to spending billions of dollars on control measures,\ said Agriculture Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Mark Rey at the site of the Forest Serviceis new threat assessment center, slated to open early next year, which will develop user-friendly technology and cutting- edge research on invasive species. \This national strategy will help to prevent, find and contain the spread while working to rehabilitate and restore ecosystems.\ The National Strategy and Implementation Plan for Invasive Spe cies Management focuses on four key elements: preventing invasive species before they arrive; finding new infestations before they spread and become established; containing and reducing existing infesta tions; and rehabilitating and restoring native habitats and ecosys tems. The plan will use one of the new tools developed under the Healthy Forests Initiative—an early warning system to help land managers detect new invasives. Title VI of the 2004 Healthy Forests Restoration Act called for the Forest Service to develop such a system to improve its detection and response abilities to ecological disturbances across the nation. The Forest Service is establishing two environmental threat assessment centers to cover both the eastern and western United States; the western center is located here in Prineville. The cornerstone of the strategy is cooperative conservation: work ing with public and private organizations though partnerships. For example, the Forest Service recently signed an agreement with The American Chestnut Foundation to restore the beloved American chest nut tree, which was once one of the dominant tree species in the eastern United States forests 50 years ago before a chestnut blight nearly wiped it out. An estimated 70 million acres of public and private lands are at serious risk from 26 different insects and diseases nationwide, most of which are non-native. An invasive species is defined as a species that is non-native to the ecosystem under consideration and whose Seeks comments on tentative bison hunt regulations for area introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. They take advantage of their new surroundings to crowd out or kill off native species, destroying habitat for native wildlife. They can also cause significant tree mortality creating an increased risk of catastrophic wildfire to communities. The Forest Service's Forest Health Protection and Research and Development programs work to minimize the spread of established invasive species and lessening the damages caused by native and non native insects, pathogens and plants. By working with other Federal, State and private organizations, the agency protects and improves America's forests using cutting-edge technology to rapidly respond to forest health threats.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking public comment on a tentative hunting season and regulations for bison in south western Montana. In 2003, Montana’s Legislature passed a law giving the FWP Com mission authority to establish a bison-hunt. At its October 7 meeting in Helena, the commission tenta tively approved FWP's environ mental review and plan for a pro posed hunt, authorizing 25 bison hunting licenses for use January 15-February 15, 2005. The final bison season quota will be set at the December .'6 commission meeting. I In subsequent years, more or 'fewer .hunting licenses could be ^ authorised for a season that would run from November 15 to Febru ary 15. Hunting licenses would be awarded via a special drawing at a cost of $75 for residents and $750 for nonresidents. The intent of the law authoriz ing the hunt is to allow Montana hunters to harvest wild, free- roaming bison under fair chase conditions and to reduce damage to private property by altering bison behavior and distribution. The proposed hunt is not ex pected to substantially regulate bison populations. Population regulation will continue to be achieved through the Interagency Bison Management Plan ap proved by state and federal au thorities several years ago. Public bison hunts are estab lished in several western states, including Alaska, Arizona, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. In Montana, the last public bison hunt took place in 1991. The .tentative bison hunting regulations are available for re view on the FWP homepage at www.fwp.state.mt.us under Hot Topics. The commission will take final action on the tentative regu lations on December 16. Comments should be mailed by November 26 to: Bison Hunt Regulations, Mon tana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, 1400 S. 19 th Ave., Bozeman, MT 59718, or via e-mail at: fwp.state.mt.us/ publicnotices/show.aspx?id=702, or go to FWP's website at: fwp.state.mt.us, Under Hot Topics, click on Tentative Bison Hunt and under \Tentative Regu lations,\ click on \Submit Your Comments.\ Raffle planned to promote immunizations To help improve the health of area children and prevent the spread of vaccine-preventable disease, the Beaverhead County Public Health Department and the Beaverhead County WIC Program are offering two gift certificates to WIC parents who offer proof of their children's immunizations. \We're hoping this is a good incentive for parents and guard ians to make sure their two year old child's immunizations are up to date,\ said Sue Hansen, Beaverhead County Public Health Director. Hansen added, \all they need to do is show us their up-to-date records, or bring their child by for immunizations during our regular immunization clinic and our office can update the records.\ The immunization records will be entered into the county immu nization registry. The names of all the partici pating families will be entered into a drawing to be held Decem ber 15 for two $50 food gift cer tificates at the Dillon Safeway and IGA stores. For more information, please contact the Beaverhead County Public Health Department at 683- 4771. L i m a N e w s News of Lima and Southern,ßeavefhead County • By J a c k ie Duczek Y M C A u p d a t e News from the Southwestern Montana YMCA The Y is getting near Greetings from the YMCA! Thank you Southwestern Montana for your continued generosity! During the \Catch the Wave\ campaign we have been able to raise over $180,000 from local donors. This leaves us less than $ 20,000 short of our $\2D0' goal. We are confident we will reach or exceed our goal in the near future. So what does this all mean? The $200,000 goal was set by the Board of Directors as the minimum amount needed before they would feel comfortable moving forward with the process of going to bid. The first step of the process will occur this Sunday. Members of the YMCA Building Committee are scheduled to meet with representa tives from the architectural and construction management firms that have been contracted by the Board for the project. The final design of the Southwestern Montana Family YMCA will begin to take shape at this meeting. The committeeis task will hinge on two very important issues- what the needs of the area are and what we can afford. Cost figures that have been developed for each phase of the project will be considered and weighed. The next step in the process is asking the architects to prepare all the bid documents and plans. This is not a commitment that can be taken lightly and needs to be carefully thought out and discussed. Once the documents and plans are completed, the next step would be the bidding process. Our intentions are to have this step occur during the months of January and February. As has been mentioned previously, our information is that these are the two most economical months to do so and could mean a 5-15% savings in building cost. A pitfall that needs to be considered is the possibility that the bids will come in above the $2.4 million that our construction management company has projected. ESI has a great deal of experience and they are very confident that their projections are on target. Nevertheless this issue is one that we need to be aware of and remain cautiously optimistic throughout. The fund-raising process in not completed, but the recent local efforts have greatly added to and supported our cause. We are now ready and able to approach foundations and major donors with a positive indication of widespread grass root support. We have made contact with two very large foundations that have indicated a keen interest in our project. They have asked us to approach them again when we are near our final goal. Thanks to your generosity we are now ready to do so!! If all the steps above fall into place as expected, a spring groundbreaking on the proposed YMCA facility is a strong possibil ity. Our Board would not proceed if they were not guardedly confi dent that all aspect of the project will fall into place. A final decision will be announced in the very near future. November brings the annual United Way Campaign. The YMCA will not be actively soliciting local funds during this time frame. The YMCA Board would ask each of you to consider being as generous to this worthwhile organization as you have been to ours. Beaverhead United Way is a very instrumental part of our community as they provide funding to many vital programs in our county.
