LICENSE RENEWAL TIME IS APPROACHING
By Ken Franks, Ag Branch Manager
Division of Pesticide Regulation,
Kentucky Department of Agriculture

Once again, license renewal time is coming up. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Division of Pesticide Regulation has continued to make changes to the new system, and should be ready to renew licenses in record time.

There are a few things all license holders should know. All renewal forms must be signed and returned to this office with the appropriate fees attached. Any renewal forms not returned by March 1 will be assessed a 25 percent late penalty. Any form returned later than June 1 will not be renewed. Instead, that person will be required to take the licensing examination again and to start as a new applicant. These requirements are not negotiable.

Last year, some problems were experienced with non- commercial license holders not returning their renewals. These individuals included employees of government, golf courses, public utilities and universities. These licenses are free, but the license holder must still sign and return the form.

My staff will be processing renewals in the order they come into our office. If corrections to your renewal are needed, there is space on the right side of the form to do so. Please be sure to write your information legibly. If you need to talk to someone regarding your renewal, please call (502) 564-7274 and ask for Shelley. Have your company number ready when you call. This will greatly speed up the process.

PLANT PATHOLOGY

This issue concludes the 2002 series of Kentucky Pest News (KPN) and marks the end of the 27th year of inclusion of disease information in KPN. The major objective has been to provide timely information on anticipated and occurring diseases in Kentucky. Any comments (favorable or critical) readers may have regarding KPN (i.e., format, subject matter, coverage, timeliness, etc.) may be directed to KPN authors: John Hartman, William Nesmith, Don Hershman, and Paul Vincelli, Extension Plant Pathologists; Paul Bachi and Julie Beale, Plant Diagnosticians. The above authors appreciate the efforts of colleagues who have co-authored topics in KPN; and Pat Yancey for typing, proofreading, and transmitting KPN.

The final issue of KPN 2002, like final issues of previous years, contains an index of all plant disease topics covered during the current year. The index is alphabetized according to each crop or other subject matter. After each crop, each disease that was discussed the past year is listed with the appropriate issue number(s). KPN issue numbers in parenthesis ( ) refers to a listing of the crop or disease in the "Diagnostic Lab Highlights" section. We wish each of our readers a Cheerful Holiday and Peace and Prosperity in 2003. (Hartman, Nesmith, Hershman, Vincelli, Bachi, Beale, and Yancey).
