 \n\n---------------------------------------------------\n      \n     LIGHT 
 BROWN APPLE MOTH - ( LBAM ) FACTS \n\n· State and Federal Officials 
 overreact to LBAM and has initiated a massive multi-county pesticide spray 
 with low flying planes. \n\n· LBAM has caused virtually no crop damage in 
 the Monterey Bay area. The damage incurred to growers is from restrictions 
 and quarantines put in by State and Federal agencies. \n\n· The LBAM has a 
 max fly radius of 1.5 miles and yet the 6-day spray will be over 
 residential areas.\n\n· CheckMate OLR-F/LBAM-F is a pesticide by the EPA's 
 own definition. \n\n· CheckMate OLR-F/LBAM-F product label states it's a 
 "biochemical". \n\n· You will be sprayed with a biochemical pesticide over 
 your homes for 6 straight nights 11/4-11/9 several times a year until 2010. 
 \n\n· CheckMate OLR-F/LBAM-F is a biochemical pesticide that will linger 
 in the air for 30 days. \n\n· CheckMate OLR-F/LBAM-F Warning Label states 
 "Hazard to Humans and Domestic Animals. Harmful if absorbed through the 
 skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin eyes or 
 clothing. Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist." Their 
 warning label also states it's "Environmental Hazard - Do not apply to 
 water or areas where surface water is present…" \n\n· CheckMate 
 OLR-F/LBAM-F will contaminate our water supply, the open ocean and the 
 Monterey Bay Sanctuary. \n\n· Steve Hartmeier president of Suterra, makers 
 of CheckMate OLR-F/LBAM , refuses to disclose all of the agents in the 
 pesticide they will be on spraying you. \n\n· CheckMate OLR-F/LBAM-F has 
 only undergone short-term tests on rats and rabbits and results prove 
 positive for adverse reactions. Suterra states "No Long-term studies on the 
 concentrated active ingredients have not been done..." We are to be the 
 human guinea pigs\n\n· During a 3-day LBAM spray over Monterey an 
 11-month-old baby got sick and was admitted to Community Hospital of the 
 Monterey Peninsula for severe respiratory problems\n\nTo see the
