There are 32 NNIP species currently inventoried and mapped (1,966 sites) which infest approximately 32,428 acres of Mark Twain National Forest. Enclosed is a copy of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this project. Three alternatives are analyzed in the EIS. Under Alternative 1, no manual, mechanical, chemical, or biological treatment of existing or future NNIP populations would occur. Alternative 2 (Preferred Alternative) would implement an integrated program for the prevention, suppression, reduction, and eradication of existing and future NNIP infestations on the forest. Control methods would include various combinations of manual, mechanical, chemical, cultural, and biological treatments. Herbicide is proposed on 0.2% of the acres dispersed across Mark Twain National Forest. Alternative 3 would allow only manual, mechanical, and cultural treatments, and limited use of specific biological agents; no herbicides would be allowed. On February 14,2012, I signed a Record of Decision (ROD) approving the Integrated Non- native Invasive Plant (NNIP) Control Project. Alternative 2, the selected alternative, authorizes the control ofNNIP using a combination of manual, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods.

Cliff and Vi made outstanding contribu- tions to photojournalism education. Hermann, Mo. Prepares for Workshoppers The folks in Hermann, Mo. are used to seeing new faces. After all, their town touts its German heritage and attracts thousands of visitors with Spring and Fall festivals and the annual Kristkindl Market each December. And then there are the wineries, a half-dozen of them in and around Hermann, which also bring many thirsty patrons. The newcomers are a little different this September 19-25 as 40 photographers, a dozen fac- ulty, a score of student workers and photography industry representatives converge in Hermann for the 56th Missouri Photo Workshop. Hermann hosted the third MPW in 1951 and will again be the subject of attention as this band of photojournalists tries to capture the essence of this community in a series of storytelling still images. Once described as “a rollicking river port with a tavern on every corner and he largest gen- eral store between St. Louis and Kansas City,” Hermann has weathered Prohibition and the Great Depression and found a way for its nearly 3,000 citizens to survive.
