USDA seeks "'Supervisory
Agriculturalist (LBAM Operations Manager)"' and will pay them 100k to
spray people and quarantine farms. The position is located in Watsonville, CA.
This is a "New" position and that if you look towards the top on the right hand
side of the job description, it indicates "Full Time Permanent.". The government
does not create new "Permanent" positions if they are only planning
for a few years of Tx.

A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CDFA MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FRAUD.
Third Report by professor Glen Chase. October 9, 2008. Report
Please write to Congressmember Farr, supporting
his efforts for reclassification. Here
is a sample letter.
November 18, 2008
"Robert Dowell,
CDFA director of the LBAM eradication effort, told the California Association
of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA) annual conference in Anaheim, Calif., that the
first shipment of 500,000 sterile larvae are expected to be released early next
year within quarantined areas of the state where the LBAM has been trapped."November

not voting or paying attention to our national election.
Re-elect Tony
Madrigal - The strongest candidate against the spray running Santa
Cruz City Council!!
Let's
remember just how hard Tony Madrigal fought against the spray:
He
voted against the spray in every city council meeting that it was on the
agenda. He voted to take legal
action against the CDFA. He helped
arrange meeting halls for our forums.He
arranged the donation of thousands of safety masks for the community. He then
set up his own table on Pacific Ave the weekend before the spray to
dispense the masks to the public.He
used his position to attract media and was always available speak the
media about the spray.He strategized
at every level to help stop the CDFA from proposing to establish independent city-level
committees to assisting and participating in grassroots organizing.He
went to Sacrament to petition our State reps to take swift and immediate action.
He stood in front of Trader Joe's with us on cold winter nights helping to inform
the community of CDFS's new spray plan.He
helped create the California
Coalition of Cities to Stop the Spray which was a super powerful and very
successful component to organizing and mobilizing our forces.
He just recently he voted to pass a resolution that would overturn state preemption
of local pesticide regulations.
This
is just a partial list of Madrigal's accomplishments and contributions in helping
stop the aerial and ground spraying. This year we will be losing two other council
members that took strong positions against the spray, Reilly and Porter will be
leaving the council. We need Tony to continue to represent us. Vote for Tony Madrigal for Santa Cruz City Council on Tuesday, Nov
4, 2008. Tell everyone you know to Vote
for Tony Madrigal.

----------------------------------------Glen
Chase, a Professor of Systems Management, has released a
third report detailing the methodical fraud that the California Department
of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Management perpetrated to attempt to create a bogus
emergency eradication program for the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM). This third
report demonstrates the fraud and deception within the program strategy that CDFA
Management used and is continuing to use to qualify for $100's of millions of
dollars of emergency taxpayer funds, which were intended for real emergencies.

Partial Response, June 11, 2008 Answers to a portion of questions Congressman
Sam Farr (D-Carmel) provided USDA officials during hearing in early 2008. Received
June 11, 2008 A letter responding
to a request
from Rep. Farr to involve the U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.
CALL to ACTION
Congressman Sam Farr Town Hall Meeting at
6:30pm, Thursday, Sept. 4, at the Veteran's Memorial Building, 846 Front St.,
Santa Cruz.
We need
to show up in large numbers and demand that he use his position to help get the
LBAM reclassified. Some say that Farr already has plans to do something like that,
but any official action or declaration from him along those lines has yet to be
seen. We'll believe it when we actually see it. In the past, he has greatly belittled
our concerns and has even helped the CDFA spread misinformation about the moth.
Actions speak louder than words, and we have yet to see any positive action from
him on this issue. Show up in large numbers tomorrow evening and show/tell him
how important it is that he take some serious action on this LBAM issue. His next
Santa Cruz Town Hall meeting will most likely not happen for another year. Seize
this opportunity!!--------------------------------------

Considered, this Wednesday, September 3, 2008, from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. in
Wheeler Auditorium, on the UC Berkeley Campus is a good opportunity to address
the problems of exclusion and censorship LBAM activists and others experienced
at the panel on which Kawamura was speaking "Sterile
LBAM Release Plan Draws Criticism from Scientists- Measure deemed "impossible"
and pointless; state fires back" Story by Curtis Cartier

A
property owner terrorized by the CDFA, a California State Government Agency writes: "My
neighbors were notified Friday they were going to get the apple moth twist ties.
Our property is completely outside of the 200 meter radius for treatment, and
not on their treatment map, but they are here right now with a map that shows
our organic garden, all 5 acres of it, is to be treated. Today."
Sam
Farr's Town Hall Meeting Sept. 4, 6:30 p.m. at the Vet's
Hall in Santa Cruz.
At the Aptos Town Hall meeting, Farr either showed
or feigned real ignorance about the impotence of the LBAM. Nevertheless, it became
clear that he hasn't paid much attention to expert Dan Harder or anything we have
sent him. Therefore, we need to repeat all messages that help to persuade him
that the LBAM is a wimp and needs to be reclassified or taken off the list.

Calif.
Senate OKs checks ahead of aerial spraying
"The California Senate
has approved legislation that would require a public health and public health
evaluation before the state could order aerial spraying to control agricultural
pests....The state would also have to evaluate the public health risks and reveal
each ingredient in the pesticide to be sprayed. Friday's 23-12 vote sent the bill
back to the Assembly to approve Senate amendments."

AREA TO BE TREATED TODAY -CDFA set to spray for oriental fruit fly. "The
treatment area - which includes portions of San Jose, Santa Clara, Cupertino and
Sunnyvale - is roughly bounded by El Camino Real on the north, San Tomas Expressway
on the east, Englewood Road on the south and Blaney Avenue on the west....The
state's strategy is to use spot applications of an insecticide applied to compact-disc-size
patches on street trees and utility poles. Combined with a feeding attractant
lure, the male fruit flies are drawn to the application sites, where they die
from feeding on the insecticide."

a sterile moth release most likely an aerial release. (updated 4:40pm)

"It
appears that spraying over urban areas is now off the table," Huffman said.

but they have been able to ramp it up," said Huffman, D-San Rafael." 2:
