Catlins mhua increase after pest control
An important mhua or yellowhead population in the Catlins is on the increase after a successful joint agency pest control programme last spring.
In August TBfree New Zealand and DOC worked together to treat 47,000 ha of forest in the Catlins with aerial 1080 to knock down possums, rats and stoats.
DOCs focus was to control rats and stoats to protect mhua in 10,000 ha of beech forest, while TBfree New Zealand targeted possums to control bovine tuberculosis (TB) over 37,000 ha surrounding this area.
DOC Conservation Services Manager David Agnew says monitoring results show that mhua have increased to the highest level recorded since the population suffered a big decline about 14 years ago.
Surveys in October and November last year show the population is recovering well after the pest control in August. We found more birds and they have expanded into areas they used to be found in.
The opportunity to piggy-back on the TBfree operation when rat levels were on the increase meant that mhua could be protected right at the start of their nesting season in October when they were most vulnerable, says David Agnew.
Treating a much larger area at one go had the benefit of slowing the reinvasion of predators as well as significant cost savings from shared planning.
The co-ordinated operation considerably decreased possum numbers, the main source of TB in livestock, and helped maintain the progress already made in reducing the risk of TB-infected wild animals spreading the disease to farmed cattle and deer in the surrounding area.
Rat levels, which were tracking at between 14% and 18% in mid to low-altitude forest areas in August, fell to undetectable levels in November after 1080 treatment. Possum numbers fell to between 0.33% and 0.17% (residual trap catch) from a pre-operation level of 3%.

REDDING, Calif. -
An agriculture program at Shasta College is seeing a need and addressing it.
It is called the Pest Control Adviser Preparation Program and it is giving students a direct line into the field.
Agriculture is a billion dollar industry in California, said the programs lead instructor Leimone Waite.
If farmers do not own the land, and many of them do not, they have a Pest Control Adviser write them what Waite called a prescription to treat any pest problems on the crop. Only licensed Pest Control Advisers can perform this task. They also will offer recommendations regarding things like pest management materials, land preparation, fertilization, cultivating and harvesting.
Shasta College launched the program in the spring to get students licensed for the job.
Waite said the field used to require a bachelors or doctorate degree in a specific plant science area. Those requirements changed when the state was seeing fewer people entering the field of work.
"California continually puts more regulations on farming and just pesticide use in general. So it keeps increasing the need for PCAs, Waite said. So it's sort of not only where you having an increased need, we're also having a decrease in actual people that employed in the field."
Even the students involved in the program are seeing these results.
It is in need, because a lot of elder gentlemen are currently in the field for PCAs, said student Lindee Jones. It's an in demand job."

Throughout his administration, Gov. Sean Parnell has accused the Environmental Protection Agency of overreaching on Alaska affairs. Now, it looks like the EPA may have reached into Parnells own home. The Governors Mansion appears on a list of construction projects requiring EPA intervention for lead violations.

Lead poisoning is nasty business. It can cause headaches and seizures, and result in miscarriages. If youre a child, the symptoms are especially bad.
Lethargy. Inability to pay of attention. At high enough levels, it can cause death, says Wallace Reid.
Reid works out of the EPAs Seattle office, and his team handles investigations into lead violations. Because a lot of modern cases of lead exposure are caused by home repairs, the EPA implemented a rule in 2010 requiring contractors to be certified in lead paint removal if theyre working on a house that was built before 1978.
Like the Alaska Governors Mansion.
The building is a century old, and the state hired Alaska Commercial Contractors to restore the whole exterior a couple of years ago. And that meant removing lead paint, which the company was not certified to do at the time.
We first became aware of it this problem in Alaska because of an anonymous tip and complaint that this work was going on and that there were problems associated with it, says Reid.
Reid says that as soon as the EPA learned of the violation, they sent two inspectors to check the area for lead paint. They found paint chips on the lawn and on the street.

March 7, 2014 Weather halts tractor repairs Business about to pick up for lawn tractor repair shops
By Zach Osowski The Herald Bulletin The Herald Bulletin Fri Mar 07, 2014, 09:12 PM EST
ANDERSON, Ind. Lawn machine and tractor repair shops could see a major influx of tractors as farmers get ready for spring in the coming weeks.
Todd Sink, a worker at Bendle Lawn Equipment Service & Sales, said that usually by this time, the shop has already seen a lot of tractors for repairs and tuneups. This year has been a different story, as freezing temperatures and large amounts of snow have kept some of the tractors stuck.
"We've had a backup of tractor repairs," Sink said. "With this weather, people haven't been able to get their tractors out of the barn."
That doesn't mean Sink and his fellow mechanics haven't been busy. Sink said they have had a good amount of snow equipment in need of repairs to keep them working. With the weather looking like it might warm up soon, Sink said he anticipates seeing a large amount of tractors for the next couple of weeks.
What tractors need varies from just minor tuneups to full-blown repairs. Sometimes repairs aren't known until the owner takes it out and tries to run it. That could be happening in the next few weeks as central Indiana thaws.
That is, as long as the weather decides to stay warm. Another round of snow could push the delay on getting spring tractors ready further back.
Either way, Sink said, he and the other workers at Bendle will be ready to go, whether they have a few more weeks of snow blower repairs or they start bringing out the tractor tools.
