NEW SERICEA LESPEDEZA CONTROL OPTION The Section 18 label, together with a fact sheet and the Vista label, are available on the web at http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/glmp/ ; then click on Sericea Lespedeza. This site contains links to all appropriate publications, approved herbicides, and supplemental labels. The site will be updated as needed. A new publication, Sericea Lespedeza & Herbicides: Cost Effective Controls (MF2531), on spot treating and broadcast control. The publication is designed for copying at the county level so we can make changes quickly. It will NOT include the Vista/Remedy exemption due to the short time period of the exemption. --Paul D.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP NATIONAL MEETING The presentation, "Kansas: A State of Change," was based on the experiences of the Kansas Community Leadership Initiative (KCLI), a program designed to create a network of trained leadership professionals to spread leadership skills across Kansas. Representatives of 17 community leadership programs chosen to participate in the KCLI project have worked for two years with nationally recognized leadership trainers, Pat Heiny and Mary Jo Clark, of Indiana. The goal of the program, which is sponsored by the Kansas Health Foundation, is to teach KCLI participants leadership skills they can share through their leadership programs and in other venues in their communities. In their Greensboro presentation and in a networking session later in the day, about 30 KCLI representatives told participants about leadership skills they have learned in the program and how they have used those skills in their families, their leadership programs and their communities. The presentation focused on how session participants could incorporate leadership skills, such as consensus-building and group facilitation, into their own leadership programs and communities. More than 500 leadership professionals from across the United States and several foreign countries attended the three-day conference .--Ron Wilson rwilson@oznet.ksu.edu

CORRECTION TO KANSAS RIVER YOUTH
LEADERSHIP RECEIVES FUNDING A correction needs to be made in the description of Kansas River Youth Leadership. Haskell Indian Nations University Native American Youth Extension Program is also a part of the KRYL joint effort, along with Douglas, Johnson, Leavenworth and Wyandotte Counties. The success of this initiative is driven by positive youth vision and leadership. The adults that are helping to make all of this happen are Beth Hecht, Leavenworth County; Carolyn King, Haskell Indian Nations University; Cathy Brockhoff, Douglas County; Al Davis, Johnson County; and Michelle Crago, Wyandotte County. Approximately 60 youth will take part in KRYL this summer. Haskell Extension will be sponsoring six Native American youth to participate in this initiative. --Jana Hackney jhackney@oznet.ksu.edu
E-ANSWERS NEW SITE Unfortunately, their old domain name was taken over a few weeks ago by an organization that should not be linked to educational or governmental sites. The Ag Communicators in Education announced, "The good news is that we now have the rights to e-answersonline.org . Those of you who have been using the IP address of http://128.227.242.197 can continue to do so if you wish, or you can use www.e-answersonline.org or just e-answersonline.org . We will be using a domain name registration service other than the one which caused the original problem, so please feel free to link to this name or publish it without fear of losing it again." --Amy Hartman ahartman@oznet.ksu.edu
