Dear Forest Pathologists,
I am so saddened by Sande?s passing. He will be missed greatly because of
his great influence on so many people including myself.
As many of you suggested, I am setting up the "Sande McNabb Student Travel
Award" with the American Phytopathological Society (APS) Foundation. This
award helps underwrite the cost of APS Annual Meeting attendance for
students. This seems like a very fitting tribute for Sande, who was long
known as an unwavering advocate of students from diverse backgrounds.
To establish the ?Sande McNabb Student Travel Award?, we need to first
collect $2,500 before the APS Foundation can create the ?Sande McNabb
Award?. Please visit the following website for more details.
http://www.apsnet.org/members/foundation/giving/Pages/starttravelfund.aspx
Ned Klopfenstein will help to collect the initial $2,500 from potential
contributors.
After the award is established, the future donors can directly contribute
to the APS Foundation. The receipt of $2,500 creates a fund account with
the APS Foundation; however, we need to collect a total of $10,000 in the
account to fully establish the travel award that will help fund student
travel each year (currently $500 award). Thus, it may take some time to
fully establish the ?Sande McNabb Student Travel Award?, which will help
students who want to attend the APS meeting and present their research. We
know that Sande was a strong supporter of the APS Student Travel Awards
because he previously provided several very generous donations to this
cause; these donations were supposed to remain anonymous (oops).
So, here is what I suggest we do.
1. Please fill in the attached form. And, make checks payable to the APS
Foundation.
2. Send check with form to Ned Klopfenstein.
Ned B. Klopfenstein
1045 Tolo Trail
Moscow, ID 83843
USA
3. Ned will keep the checks until we reach a total of $2,500, then he
will send all the checks to the APS Foundation. We hope that we can
collect $2,500 for the fund within a short amount of time. After that, the
"Sande McNabb Student Travel Award" fund will be established, and future
donors can contribute directly to the award fund at the APS foundation.
(*An acknowledgement of the receipt of these funds will be made to the
donor by the APS Foundation. All such donations are tax deductible since
the APS Foundation is a 501c3 organization.)
Please let me or Ned (nklopfenstein(a)fs.fed.us, 1-208-883-2310) know if you
have any questions or concerns regarding the establishment of this fund.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Please help circulate this
information to anyone who may be interesting in this cause.

Dear ALL*,*
The present message is to propose to your institution a research project
that will boost the forest development in Colombia, our country. Now days,
Colombia has 20.000 ha of *Acacia mangium* plantation whit very good
performance, to recover degraded lands, produce pulp for paper production
and solid wood production. The government is planning to increase the area
to 1´000.000 ha because all the benefits a forest plantation has to the
society.
At the moment the unique problem *A. mangium* has is the attack of some
disease that cause a sudden death. This has decreased the interest in this
specie in the public. In our previous research we have found that there are
some fungus in attacked specimens: *Fusarium*sp., *Myrothecium *sp. y *
Phomopsis* sp., that could be causing the seen problems .
We would like to hear of possibilities for financial support, and an
institution that will join us (we are working with an University in our
area). We would provide resources and also we will cover some of the
expenses, and the University will provide scientific advices, laboratories
and equipment. We will really appreciate your help contacting the right
institution and personnel if your institution is not interested.
Regards, John Pulgarin

I am sad to share that Dr. Sande McNabb died this week in Ames, Iowa.
------------------------------------------------
The following information is from the Ames Tribune:
Harold Sanderson ?Sande? McNabb, 83, died Thursday, May 12, 2011, at
Israel Family Hospice House in Ames. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m.
Monday, May 16, with services at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 17, at Collegiate
Presbyterian Church in Ames. Burial will follow at Iowa State University
Cemetery.
Sande taught and did research at Iowa State University for 47 years (1953
to 2000). He was a devoted husband, father and mentor to many. McNabb was
active in scientific circles, Democratic politics and Boy Scouts of
America.
He is survived by wife, Marguerite ?Margo? McNabb; sister, Margery McNabb,
of Lincoln, Neb.; son, Peter J. (Jeanette Slaybaugh) McNabb, of Des
Moines; and daughter, Genene (Reid Gagle) McNabb, of St. Paul, Minn.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Iowa State University Foundation
in memory of Sande McNabb.
-------------------------------------------------
A more complete biography of Sande's life is available on the website of
Adams and Soderstrum Funeral Home:
http://www.adamssoderstrum.com/
or at http://www.tributes.com/show/Harold--McNabb-91466619

If you would like to send cards or condolences to Margo, her address
follows:
Margo McNabb
1232 Wisconsin
Ames, IA 50014
--------------------------------------------------
Sande had friends throughout the world. In addition to being a classic
forest pathologist, he personally touched the lives of many students. One
of his passions in life was promoting the legacy of Dr. George Washington
Carver, including encouraging opportunities for minorities to realize the
full potential of their contributions to science and humanity. To this
end, Margo and their children intend to establish a specially named
memorial fund at ISU to assist with continuation of this legacy.
Contributions to the Iowa State University Foundation in Memory of Sande
McNabb will go toward this purpose. [the website for ISU Foundation

XIII IUFRO Conference on
"Root and Bu tt Rot of Forest Trees"
September 4th - 10th 2011
Firenze - S. Martino di Castrozza, Trento - Italy
Scientific program - Information for Authors
Attendees will have 15-20 minutes for their oral
presentations including a couple of minutes for
questions. Following the tradition of last
conference in California, Poster presentations are
substituted by short oral presentations. Short
oral presentations will be 5 minutes long and will
include a maximum of 5 slides. Questions will be
asked at the end of a session rather than at the
end
of each presentation.
Priority for short talks will be given to
students who are not giving a full presentation,
followed by
attendees who are not given a long talk, and
finally short talks may be used as a second
presentation
by attendees who already give a full talk. When
submitting abstracts for both long and short
talks,
attendees need to select the focus area of their
presentation. Please include first and second best
selections among the following focus areas:
1 - Genomics and plant-pathogen interactions;
2 - Ecology;
3 - Aetiology and epidemiology;
4 - Systematic, taxonomy, and phylogeography;
5 - Population genetics;
6- New reports, diagnostics, and research applications of diagnostic methods:
7- Disease management and control

Dear forest pathology colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention the website
http://www.iufrouruguay2011.org that provides information about the
upcoming IUFRO meeting, "Pathogens, insects and their associations affecting
forestry worldwide" which will be held in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
8-11 November, 2011. The meeting will be a unique joint Forest
Entomology/Pathology meeting and I expect there will be many interesting
presentations and discussions. Given the location of the meeting in
Uruguay, we anticipate participation from across Latin America but the
meeting will focus on topics of international scope and we are thus
encouraging scientists from all countries to participate.
The meeting location of Colonia del Sacramento is a quaint town located on a
small penninsula in el Río de la Plata, and can be reached by a short ferry
ride from Buenos Aires on the other side of the river in Argentina. Colonia
is the oldest town in Uruguay, originally settled in 1680 and many of the
original stone and stucco buildings are still standing and used for
every-day life.
I'm really excited about this meeting as it will be unique in many ways. If
you think you might be interested in participating, please fill out the
information card at http://www.iufrouruguay2011.org/contact
Any specific questions about the meeting should be directed to our host, Dr.
Guillermo Perez at guillermoiufro2011(a)gmail.com.

Greetings All
We will be filling an entomologist position in the near future and as part
of the process would like to hear from those interested in working in the
Southwestern Region, Flagstaff, AZ. Responses will help determine how
this will be advertised and grade of consideration for the position. The
outreach is also posted on the Lotus Notes outreach database. Please
help me in distributing this widely and to anyone that might have an
interest. If you have questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi everyone,
Jim Slavicek and I are working together on the restoration of American elm
(Ulmus americana). American elm was a dominant species in many swamp and
floodplain forests in eastern US and Canada before Dutch elm disease (DED)
reduced its populations. At our lab, we have a small plantation of elms in
various stages of testing for DED tolerance. Several genotypes have been
shown to tolerate DED, and a large portion of the progeny from crosses
among these trees are DED-tolerant as well. We are currently testing the
potential of seedlings from DED-tolerant crosses to be used for restoration
plantings. It is our hope that large, stately American elm trees will
someday grace our floodplain and swamp forests once again.
We need more DED-tolerant genotypes of American elm to use as parent trees
for our plantation in order to have enough genetic diversity to use it as a
seed orchard for large-scale plantings. We are looking for healthy American
elm trees larger than 24 inches DBH (diameter at breast height) that are
growing in areas that have had DED and that have not been treated with
fungicides to prevent DED. We are only interested in American elm trees
growing within its native range. If you see a survivor elm that fits this
description, please enter its location and DBH at our website:
http://nrs.fs.fed.us/disturbance/invasive_species/ded/survivor_elms/
We will compile these entries in a database, prioritize the elms for
sampling, contact land owners, and then collect small branches from the
trees to propagate and test them for DED-tolerance. Please forward to
anyone who knows how to identify elm trees and might have interest in this
project. Thank you for your help!
- Kathleen

Dear all -
Take 2 minutes, if you can, to enjoy my Forest Pest Rap, written to
advertise the new FAO Guide re Forest Pests described in Sandy Liebhold's
email below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-0ighGsrUE
FAO's communications specialist Tullia Baldassarri did a great job on
this. Please can you help us go "viral" by sending this to relevant
colleagues????
We particularly hope to reach all sectors of forest industry with advice
on pest management and info about the international phytosanitary
standards that can/will affect their business. Plant health regulators can
learn about forestry from this Guide, and researchers can learn how the
International Plant Protection Convention works to prevent pest spread.
Something for everyone, so please spread the word!
Kerry
PS: The Guide is the result of over a year's effort by many global forest
pest experts (see Guide link below for the list), led by Gillian Allard of
FAO.

[IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] New FAO paper of interest
Hello FORENT and FORPATH subscribers,
You may be interested in the recent publication of:
"FAO Forestry Paper 164 - Guide to implementation of Phytosanitary
Standards in Forestry"
This is an important reference work that provides easy to understand
information on International Standards for Phytosanitary measures
(ISPM's) and how forest management practices can play a role in
minimizing pest prevalence and spread. It is available in Arabic,
Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish and can be freely
downloaded at:
