had any bad reactions to a pesticide application, please
print out and complete a Pesticide Incident form and mail

- Organically Grown Foods Higher
In Cancer-fighting Chemicals Than Conventionally Grown
Foods. American Chemical
Society. 3-04-03. "Fruits and veggies grown organically show
significantly higher levels of cancer-fighting
antioxidants than conventionally grown foods, according
to a new study of corn, strawberries and marionberries.
The research suggests that pesticides and herbicides
actually thwart the production of phenolics - chemicals
that act as a plant's natural defense and also happen to
be good for our health. Fertilizers, however, seem to
boost the levels of anti-cancer compounds." Science Daily News http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/03/030304073059.htm
Organic Food Has More Healthy Compounds -US Report -
Fri Mar 7,10:06 PM ET. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Organically grown
crops contain more healthy compounds than conventional crops,
perhaps because they are not exposed to pesticides, U.S.
researchers reported on Friday. Tests on organically and
sustainably grown berries and corn showed they contain up to 58
percent more polyphenolics, compounds that act as antioxidants
and may protect cells against damage that can lead to heart
disease and cancer. Organic food is grown without chemical
pesticides or fertilizers. Sustainably grown food is
grown without artificial pesticides. FULL STORY at: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=570&u=/nm/20030308/sc_nm/health_organics_dc&printer=1
- Is Organic
Food Provably Better? by Marian Burros. In
the debate over whether organic food is better than
conventionally raised food, advocates for organic produce
say it contains fewer harmful chemicals and is better for

recent preliminary evidence suggests that the levels of
certain nutrients, especially vitamin C, some minerals
and some polyphenols - naturally occurring antioxidants
that may help bolster the immune system - are higher in
organically grown crops. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/16/dining/16WELL.html?8hpib

- U. of Iowa
Experimenting With Non-Chemical Termite Treatment.
by Brad Harbison. 7/9/2003
- IOWA CITY, Iowa — The
University of Iowa is experimenting with a non-chemical
way to stop termite infestations on campus buildings. The
university has been researching a new method in which
crushed limestone is used to prevent termite
infestations. According to University of Iowa
Entomologist Bob Setter, before a building is
constructed, the university will be placing a six-inch
layer of crushed limestone under concrete and up
sidewalls, creating a physical barrier. Setter said
termites can't tunnel through the limestone and the rocks
are large enough that the pests can't move them.
