FORCEOFNATURE WAS LAUNCHED FOR CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION ON THE INTERNET ON JANUARY 1ST,2009. IT IS ASERIES OF ENEWSLETTERS DESTINED FOR THE GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY, THE ENVIRONMENTALTERRORMOVEMENT,GOV-

ERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND THE MEDIA, NATIONWIDE ACROSS CANADA, THE UNITED STATES, AND OVERSEAS.

FORCE OF NATURE IS THE BRAINCHILD OF WILLIAM H.GATHERCOLE AND HIS ENTOURAGE. NORAH G IS ACTUALLY AN ACRO-NYM FOR THE STABLE OF ANONYMOUS PRODUCERS AND WRITERS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ENEWSLETTER AND HAVE NOW

REPLACED MR.GATHERCOLE. THEY CONSIST OF PEOPLE FROM THE FOLLOWING INDUSTRIES :DISTRIBUTION,FERTILIZER,GOLF,LAWN CARE,MANUFACTURING,MUNICIPAL,NURSERY, AND ORCHARD. MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE LEADERS IN THEIROWN INDUSTRIES. THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN FORCE OF NATURE, EVEN THOUGH FROM AN INDEPENDENTPERSPEC-

TIVE, MAY NOT REFLECT THOSE OF EVERYONE IN THE GREENSPACEINDUSTRY, OR MR.GATHERCOLES MANY ASSOCI-ATES. BE WARNED ! FORCE OF NATURE MAY SOMETIMES BE VERY IRREVERENT AND FEARLESS WITH THESE ENEWSLETTERS.

MR.GATHERCOLE IS NOW RETIRED FROM FORCE OF NATURE, ALTHOUGH HIS NAME CONTINUES TO APPEAR AS THE FOUNDER.

WILLIAM H.GATHERCOLE IS A PRINCIPAL FOUNDER OF THE MODERN PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY IN BOTHON-TARIO AND QUEBEC. HE HOLDS A DEGREE IN HORTICULTURE FROM THE UNIVERSITYOFGUELPH, AND ANOTHER PURE

AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE FROM MCGILLUNIVERSITY. HE HAS WORKED IN VIRTUALLY ALL ASPECTS OF THE GREENSPACEINDUSTRY, INCLUDING GOLF AND PROFESSIONALLAWNCARE, AND HAS SERVED IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS, WORK-

PLACE SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. MR.GATHERCOLE HAS SUPERVISED, CONSULTED, PROGRAMMED, AND/OROVERSEEN THE EXECUTION OF HUNDREDSOFTHOUSANDS OF PEST CONTROL APPLICATIONS IN THE URBAN LANDSCAPE.HE HAS TRAINED, INSTRUCTED, AND CONSULTED WITH THOUSANDS OF TURF MANAGERS AND TECHNICIANS. MR.GATHER-

COLE HAS ALSO BEEN AN AGRICULTURAL AGRONOMIST. FOR MANY YEARS,MR.GATHERCOLE WAS A CONTRIBUTING COLUMNISTFOR TURF&RECREATION MAGAZINE,CANADAS TURF AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCE AUTHORITY.

MR.GATHERCOLE HAS FOLLOWED THE EVOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTALTERRORISM FOR OVER A QUARTERCENTURY.

HIS INVOLVEMENT IN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES REACHED A FEVERED PITCH IN THE 1990S, WHEN HE ORCHESTRATED, WITH HISCOLLEAGUES, LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE PROHIBITION OF PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS IN THE TOWN OF HUDSON,QUEBEC.

FOR FIFTEENYEARS, THE STRATEGIES DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED BY MR.GATHERCOLE AND HIS COLLEAGUES GUARAN-TEED THE CONTROL OF ENVIROTERROR FOR THE ENTIRE MODERN GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY ACROSS CANADA. ALTHOUGH HECAN BE ACCUSED OF BEING ANTIENVIRONMENTMOVEMENT, HE IS, IN FACT, SIMPLY A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR THE MODERN

GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY. HOWEVER, THIS POSITION HAS NOT PRECLUDED HIM FROM CRITICIZING THE GREEN SPACE INDUS-TRY ITSELF. NONETHELESS, HIS VAST KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LONG JOURNEY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IS UNDENIABLE.

(HOPEFULLY !)

FORCE OF NATURE IS THE INSTRUMENT OF NATIONAL ORGANIZATION RESPONDING AGAINST HUJE THAT HARM THE GREENSPACE INDUSTRY (NORAHG) BY CONCOCTING STATEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES SEEKING TO PROHIBIT FEDERALLYLEGAL,

SCIENTIFICALLYSAFE, AND TOTALLYIRREPLACEABLE CONVENTIONAL PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS. ENVIROMANIACCULPRITS ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE BASIS OF THEIR STATEMENTS , ACTIVITIES, AFFILIATIONS, AND WHEREABOUTS. EVENTHOUGH EACH ENVIROMANIACCULPRIT IS A MISGUIDED ADVERSARY, EACH STILL DESERVES OUR RESPECT. THE TERMS

MANIAC,CULPRIT,TERRORIST, OR BASTERD ARE NOT ACCUSATIONS OF ANY LEGAL WRONGDOING. FORCE OF NATURE ISSIMPLY HOLDING CULPRITS ACCOUNTABLE FOR CONSPIRING TO CHANGE PUBLIC POLICIES THAT TERRORIZE AND THREATEN

THE GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY. FORCE OF NATURE BELIEVES THAT THE PRETENTIOUS PROHIBITIONIST POLICIES OF THE ENVI-RONMENTALTERRORMOVEMENT IS LEADING TO LOSSOFREVENUES,BUSINESSFAILURES,BANKRUPTCY, AND

UNEMPLOYMENT, INFLICTING DESPAIR AND DESTITUTION FOR THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS THROUGHOUT THE GREENSPACE INDUSTRY. THE ACTIONS OF MANIACCULPRITSTERRORISTSBASTERDS IN THE MOVEMENT ARE VIEWED AS A FORM

OF TERROR AGAINST THE GREEN SPACE INDUSTRY. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN FORCE OF NATURE HAS BEEN DEVEL-OPED FOR THE EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT OF THE READER BY PROVIDING A SEQUENCE OF HISTORICAL EVENTS WITH

COMMENTARY. ADDITIONALLY, FORCE OF NATURE INSPIRES PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM

CAN BE STOPPED! THE EVENTS, CHARACTERS, COMPANIES, AND ORGANIZATIONS, DEPICTED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE NOTALWAYS FICTITIOUS. ANY SIMILARITY TO ACTUAL PERSONS, LIVING OR DEAD, MAY NOT BE COINCIDENTAL. ALL DOCUMENT EX-

CERPTS AND PICTURES CONTAINED IN FORCE OF NATURE WERE FOUND SOMEWHERE ON THE INTERNET. WE BELIEVE THATTHEY ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, SERVING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES : ARCHIVE, EDUCATION, PROMOTION, PUBLIC-

ITY, OR PRESS RELEASE.
