Greetings,

As  many of you have no doubt heard, an Asian longhorned beetle infestation has been detected in Ohio.  A while ago, perhaps a year or two, I remember reading a fairly long and interesting article (perhaps circulated in email form, and perhaps on this listserv) that chronicled some of the communication challenges and controversy surrounding the ALB infestation and eradication program in Worchester, MA.   If I recall the article correctly, it may hold some useful lessons for those of us focused on ALB outreach efforts in Ohio.  

Does this article ring a bell with anyone?  If so, could you help me put my finger on it?  Thanks for any help!

Best regards,
