Monarch Alert

Jessica Griffiths, Monterey County Coordinator for Monarch Alert.
"Monarch Alert is a study of patterns of fall migration, wintering activity, and spring dispersal by monarch butterflies in western North America. The project includes: Study of seasonal abundance and habitat use in the northern half of their winter range, Tagging of monarchs at habitats in four counties. The tagging study will provide information about movement patterns at several spatial scales and with reference to several possible causal factors. Some of these factors include weather patterns, butterfly condition, and landscape constraints."

"In order to track patterns of fall migration and spring dispersal, thousands of monarchs will be tagged. Small tags weighing between 1/50th and 1/100th of the butterfly’s body weight are attached to the underside of its hindwing. This tag adheres without needing to rub off scales."

Monarch's are fog drinkers!
They Winter on our coast, spread from SF to So. Cal. (Winter Cycle 6-8 Months.)
Summer cycles 3-6 weeks, 3-4 times each summer, Inland to Central Valley and as far away as Colorado.
Monarch's use environmental triggers like birds.
Milk Weeds are a weed to farmers, they have been allowed to grow round up ready crops, reducing Milk Weed in the Central Valley, less butterflies. With reductions in wintering areas, numbers have declined.
They are very concerned about the LBAM spray, but the Monarch's seems to be OK (this year), so far!
Helen Johnson is a founder and main contributor to this cause.
Thanksgiving count started in 1997
199 sites for overwintering declining fast, populations from 1.2M to 100K due to decreases in habitat, disease and parasites.
Fires effected? Retardants? Habitats are destroyed, but monarchs are dispersed widespread in the summer when fire is an issue.
Pacific Coast Sanctuary has docents, 55F they are tightly clustered, hard to see, check it out! warmer is better, they are more active.
Molest a butterfly? it will cost you!!!! DO NOT Touch
Valentines day is a butterfly orgy!
Claspers on the male are used to carry the female into the trees for several hours of multiple matings!!!

What can we do?
Grow a butterfly garden, any Nectar plants are good.
Protect winter habitats
Save Milkweed habitats
Grow milkweed if you live inland
831-648-5716 X11 be a Docent

Water Water, not everywhere?

Doug Smith, Watershed Geologist
and an Associate Professor in the Division of Science and Environmental Policy at CSU Monterey Bay.
"The Watershed Geology Lab at CSUMB includes resources for physical and hydrologic watershed studies including sediment transport, geomorphology, and computer modeling. Doug Smith oversees undergraduate and graduate research in the Watershed Geology Lab. The Lab is used in connection with the adjacent Geology Teaching Laboratory to deliver high quality curricula and hands-on research opportunities to CSUMB students."
Predicting risks and assessing damages to certain areas, are Doug's profession and passion.
Basin complex Affected over 1000 small water sheds.
Costs and damages estimated $42.5M Indians fire, $77.2M fighting fires.
Water bars installed help to avoid soil runoff on the fire breaks, cut to control the Basin Complex fire.
Constant monatoring of the rivers, concerned about debris and flooding on the Big Sur, Carmel and Aroyo Seca rivers.
Culverts being watched closely to prevent flooding.
Watch for debris in rivers and creeks, stay on top of it! Unclog it if you can! Be careful! Stay safe!
Watch the weather, check your drainage situation before it rains!
.5" rainfall per. hour threshhold is your indicator of impending floods if you live on a flood plain or in a deep canyon.

Millennials Changing America

Alexander Steed, Millenniel Activist
"From October through November 2008, Alex will travel to over 30 cities across the United States to meet, interview and report how young people are using the Internet to leverage their social and political power. When I was a teenager, I was always inspired by interesting, accessible stories about what other young people were doing to better the world. Now I'm trying to contribute to that same narrative as a self-proclaimed millennial activists. Millennial Activists, also known as Social Citizens, are, according to social entrepreneur and writer Allison Fine, "young people ages 15-29 who practice a nascent model of civic participation that combines immersion in social causes, idealism, digital fluency." Traveling from the East to the West Coast, visiting everywhere in between, and returning again, I aim to convene the American youth, the next generation of this country's social and civic stewards."

Described by The New York Times as the "Paul Revere of globalization's woes," Dr. Kevin Danaher's analytical expertise, sense of humor and blunt eloquence make him an exceptionally dynamic speaker. Since co-founding Global Exchange in 1988, Dr. Danaher has spoken at hundreds of universities and for community organizations throughout the U.S. He conducts workshops on issues ranging from the dynamics of the global economy to how we can replace the power of transnational corporations with local green economy networks. A longtime critic of the so-called "free trade" agenda, Dr. Danaher explains how we can create 'grassroots globalization', empowering local communities to create sustainable local economies.

The Buzz

Michael Neuert,of Neuert Electromagnetic Services joined us by phone.
EMFs are a type of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation commonly emitted from power lines, transformers, electrical wiring, computers, TVs, lights, clocks, appliances, hairdryers, cell phones, microwave ovens — virtually everything electrical around us. Nationally. telephone consultations with our electrical engineer, Michael Neuert, are our most popular service. Michael can answer all of your questions about EMFs — what meters to use, what levels are considered safe, how to trace and repair troublesome or hidden EMF sources, how to shield refrigerators and electrical panels, how to shield your computer, how to install special electrical wiring with almost no emissions, and many other concerns. Within California, Michael provides on-site services for the professional testing, shielding and reduction of EMFs. He will not only measure the EMFs, he can do the necessary engineering work to tell you exactly what you can do to reduce the EMFs.
What are the health concerns?
While there still is great controversy, studies suggest that EMFs may be linked to a variety of health problems including leukemia, lymphoma, brain and nervous system cancers, melanoma, breast cancer, miscarriage, birth defects, Alzheimer’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, depression and suicide. Anecdotally, EMFs have been associated with symptoms such as nausea, headache, fatigue, anxiety, dizziness, mental confusion, memory loss, sleep disturbance, itchy or burning skin sensations, and skin rashes

Feel better during power failures?
