A public hearing by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors to
consider the issue of aerial spraying of a synthetic pheromone product
(untested on humans) to combat the light brown apple moth will take place
on Tuesday - Oct. 16 - 7pm
@ the Supervisors' Chambers
5th floor of the County Bldg. (corner of Water & Ocean).

More information about this issue can be found at 1hope.org. This is the website of HOPE (Help Our Peninsula's Environment), the folks that have mounted the lawsuit to stop, somewhat belatedly, the spraying in Monterey County. After the first spraying was done in Monterey in September, this group received over 100 affidavits from citizens claiming to have had adverse reactions to the spray.

The Supervisors can be phoned @ 454-2200 and emailed @:
