Sue Joslyn, applicant for Human Rights Commission
Experience and/or activities:
I moved to Iowa City with my family last month from Cedar Falls,
Iowa, to take a position in research and program administration at The
University of Iowa. I conduct breast cancer research, investigating racial
differences in breast cancer survival.
For the past 11 years, I was a professor of Epidemiology at the
University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. I was a faculty member with
the Global Health Corps in UNI's Department of Health Education,
supervising public health education programming and research among
medically underserved populations locally, nationally, and internationally.
I was an American Cancer Society volunteer from 1993 - 2001,
serving on the State and local Boards of Directors and as chair of the State
Cancer Control Committee. Programs initiated under my terms as chair
included developing and promoting cancer screening and education
programs to reduce and eliminate racial, ethnic, and rural disparities in
cancer survival.
I have volunteered with the Iowa Women's Foundation, eva~ating
and promoting community programming for women and girls in Io~a In~
addition, I have worked in Cedar Falls and Black Hawk County on'~o~l
racial and sexual orientation equity and discrimination issues.
Present knowledge of this advisory board: -- "
.~> --
I have read the job description, the web site for the Human R~ ht
g s
Commission, as well as the sections of the Iowa City code that describes the
Human Rights ordinance.
Contributions I could make to the Human Rights Commission:
I lived in Iowa City while working on my doctoral degree (1987 -
1990). I have always been impressed and inspired by the high level of
community commitment to human rights in Iowa City. I would take great
pleasure in making contributions to the community on human rights issues.
I have the ability to work well with all people, with a sense of compassion,
fairness, and common sense, as well as the ability to read and understand
complex summaries and files.

I have 2 valuable qualities that are weld suited for a position on this Human Rights
Commission.
First is personal experience, I was raised in a multi-cultural home with a
Thai mother and a Caucasian American father. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand
and lived there briefly before moving to the United States. My experience with a
different culture, (i.e. my mother and her family are Buddhist, while my father and
his family are Christian) racism, and prejudiced has made me very erapathetic to
the needs and rights of all individuals.
Secondly, I worked with developmentally disabled adults through Systems
Unlimited for approximately four years before a career d~ange. Through this
experience I expanded my views and knowledge of an individual's ri

make me a good candidate for this position.
When dealing with issues such as human fights, my introspection and
empathy combined with my experience, training, and education; lead to a well-
rounded understanding of a situation. I would become involved with the work
and give my thoughtful and honest opinion to the commission and counsel
members.
Finally, I have a passion for this issue. I am intense while helping others in
ways I am able. That means serving my community by offering my experience
and abilities for this civic duty while maintaining or improving the diverse quality
of life in Iowa City.

~ ~.~ ~n invitation ~o receive seasonal, organic produce. ~
g ~ ~res~ ~rom ~e farmers to ~ou.
,Harmony Valley F~m, located in a secluded spring-fed valley in western
, Wisconsin, has been providing the La Crosse to Madison area with certified
organic produce since 1985. T~ough direct sales at the Dane County Farmers'
Market, small retail stores and fine restaurants we have earned a reputation for
especially ~avo~l, high quality vegetables, f~its and herbs.
Again this year, Ha~ony Valley Farm is making that same, high
quality produce available at a less-than-retail cost to households who wish to
participate as CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) members. Community Supported Agriculture
creates a direct relationship between you and the farm. You will receive a weekly box of our flesh, in-
season produce delivered to a convenient location in your neighborhood. You'll know your produce
dollar goes directly to the people who plant, tend and ha~est your food. You will be supporting orga~c
growing methods that protect soil resources and water quality and assure you of the most healthful,
nutritious produce possible. If you love to eat, appreciate freshness and flavor~ value local farming and
are willing to explore a new way to think about your food, join us for the CSA season[
Get ready to embar~ on a seasonal cooMng and eaang adventure liAe you 're never imagined.
The benefits
The great tasting vegetables are only the most obvious benefit to being a CSA member. Later our members
realize that they are contributing to their own health while playing an important role in the health of the local,
rural economy. Eating seasonally for most of the year means less money spent 'on foods grown on distant farms
and shipped many miles It means your whole produce dollar goes to the farmers at Harmony Valley and is not
divided up between freight lines and fresh vegetable distributors. Participating in CSA makes an important
contribution toxvard shaping the kind of countryside we value, one of viable family' farms, and resources under
responsible stewardship.
Harmony Valley farmers, Richard de Wilde and Linda Halley, recognize that the direct relationship
between the farm and members also means that people are able m enjoy their produce at its most nutritious and
tastiest -- freshly picked and packed, right from the farm. We plant varieties selected for exceptional flavor and
harvest them at their peak It is not unusual for members to tell us that, because the flavor of our produce is so
much better, they have discovered they really do like many of the vegetables thcv once had no desire to eat.

A connection to a very specialplace
Community Supported Agriculture allows members to make a connection to the land and a
commitment to environmentally sound food production. At Harmony Valley xve go beyond
basic certified organic farming methods. We have researched and implemented many
innovative and cutting edge techniques. To promote soil health and fertility, Richard has
,~ developed a complex system of cover cropping with green manures, applying natural rock
powders and incorporating compost. To control pests we provide perennial habitat and nesting
'::' sites to our allies; raptors, song birds, bats, wasps, and beneficial insects. Our latest research
~ i involves studying disease suppressive properties of soil amended with compost.
~ I Our members have opportunities throughout the season to visit the farm to
~ see, first hand, the difference biologically diverse farming makes. Harmony Vall,%v welcomes
,~ you to pick berries while enjoying the view; tour lush, well kept fields y~le watching resident
hawks and maybe an eagle; or to just enjoy the gentle babble of the sprin~i~cE-o3~k d~_jng a camp

FARMER TO FARMER CAMPAIGN ON GE IN AG
LAUNCHES FARMBELT AD BLITZ; ISSUES WARNING
ON DECLINING CORN EXPORTS
In a print and radio advertising blitz targeting key Midwestern
states, the Farmer to Farmer Campaign on Genetic Engineering in
Agriculture has launched a farmbelt campaign urging farmers to
look at the declining export markets for genetically engineered ' r~q "~
~ ~.~
crops before making final planting decisions this spring.
The campaign is encouraging farmers to consider the impact GE
crops will have on export markets and to call 1-800-639-FARM to
get more information on GE crops. The ad campaign targets corn
and soybean farmers in five states including Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri and South Dakota. The campaign is a
grassroots effort that is intended to provide balanced information
on genetic engineering from a farmer perspective.
Bill Christison, a Missouri farmer and president of the National
Family Farm Coalition, said that providing farmers with a non-
industry perspective on genetic engineering is critical at this time.
"Family farmers are seeing overseas markets shrink partly because
of GMO seed. Our prices are already low and these market
declines can only do more harm. The Farmer to Farmer Campaign
is encouraging farmers tO consider this problem when they buy
their seed this spring."
The ads highlight recent negative market developments brought on
by GE crops, including:
* USDA recently lowered its forecast of corn exports for the
marketing year by 90 million bushels, a cut private analysts say is
largely due to the impact of the contamination of the corn crop by
the genetically modified corn Starlink (Des Moines Register:
February 25, 2001)
* Projected U.S. corn exports are reduced because some importers,
especially Japan, are expected to minimize purchases of varieties of
corn not approved for some, or all, uses. (USDA WASDE: March
8, 2001)
* Brazil has won its first contract to supply Spain with 150,000
tons of non-GMO corn. They sold it at a 15-cent premium. In 1999,
the U.S. lost $200 million in sales of corn to Spain and Portugal
alone. A leader of a Brazilian cooperative said Brazil may export

* Europe is buying non-GMO soybeans. From 1995-2000, the US
has lost 14.3% of its export market share in soybeans, while
Brazil's market share has climbed 10.7% CLISDA PS&D Database)

The Farmer-to-Farmer Campaign on Genetic Engineering in
Agriculture is a
collaborative efti~rt among family farm organizations to promote
the farmer perspective on genetic engineering in agriculture. The
campaign works to bring the family farmer voice to development
of policies related to genetic engineering in agriculture.
In November 1999, over thirty farm groups endorsed the Farmer's
Declaration on Genetic Engineering in Agriculture, an initial effort
of the campaign. Groups involved in the media effort are Dakota

Dear NFO Leader,
We need your help*The National Farmers Organization recognizes that the battle to
keep Amedcan Farmer~ producing American food is getting bigger, and more sedous
every day. We have many fdends in both the farm sector, and non-farm sector who are
becoming very concerned about what is happening to their food production industry.
They are concerned, but are mostly unaware of what is really taking place and of the
consequences that will ripple through society if the corporate move on production
agdculture goes unchecked.
It's time to let other people know what we already know, and do it in a big way. NFO
needs to get out front and take the leadership to make the non-farm sectors aware of
what is happening to their food production system.
ThoSe in the non-farm sectors can have a powerful influence in the political arena, and
their influence with their rural fdends can go a long way to benefit our collective
bargaining process. We all know there are a lot of people, even in the farm sector, that
need to.be made aware of what is happening.
That is why we have scheduled a multi-social sector conference on April 7m. We need
your help to make it successful, and give NFO the visibility it needs.
Please read the enclosed "Letter of Invitation" -then make twenty copies, to give to
twenty people that you know. Copies can be made at a bank, library, or supermarket for
about ten cents a copy. This letter requesting your help is going to about a thousand
NFO members, and if you will help us on this, we can notify 20,000 people.
We also have consumer and labor groups doing this in the Twin City area, working in
cooperation with us. Special invitations will go to legislators and leaders of many other
organizations. If possible, try to get your local newspaper to print it as an editorial. You
can also e-mail it. Do everything you can to publicize the event.
Please make a few copies of the enclosed flyer, and get them up in public places, so
everyone can know about it, and it can become a topic of conversation around town.
Use your imagination to get people out to the April 7th conference -it could be the
beginning of rolling back the influence of multi-national conglomerates, as other states
pick up our lead in this effort. You are the key to making this event a success, by being
there yourself, and distributing the invitation letter to others. This is important.

AN OPEN LETTER OF INVITATION Gorman
TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA
A quiet revolution is going virtually unnoticed by the vast majority of Amedcan citizens. Amedca's
food production system is literally being captured by corporate capital of multi-national companies.
Amedcan farmers producing American food is being replaced, almost unnoticed. The positioning of
international capital to produce food for international corporate profit on Amedcan soil, is rapidly
taking place. The so<:alled farm crisis is becoming an American citizen's crisis, and few realize it.
The pressure of corporate 'science" increases with their investment in our food production system.
We are in danger of losing Amedca's internal competitive markets; the new wealth distdbuti0n of
profit; and the basis to sustain the American economic structure, -our land value.
The selling of "free world trade" and the idea of a "seamless" food chain, has been effective in
bonefiring this rapid takeover of our food production system.
The good news is that it doesn't have to happen. There is still time to exercise our options, but it
will take 'awareness" and informing the non-farm sectors of what is happening to their food
production system. They have as much at stake in this loss as the farm sector has.

System--and My Role in Preventing It" is being sponsored by the National Farmers Organization.
We invite all consumers, farmers, business people to join us at this conference from 9:30 am to
3:30 pm on April 7, 2001 at the high school auditorium in Watertown, Minnesota.
Guest speakers include Dr. Richard Levins, University of Minnesota economics, and Dr. William
Heifernan. University of Missoud sociologist. Additional presentations will outline the actions and
the conditions that are creating the atmosphere for this takeover. Discussion will address the
timetable, and the consequences if this situation is left unchecked, as well as the options available
to us.
The presentations will be completed by 12:30, with the afternoon session devoted to discussion
and defining "our role in preventing it." Food stands will be available during lunch break.
This will be a non-political, non-partisan event. The focus will be on the question, "Do we want
American farmers producing American food, or do we want international corporate capital
producing food on American soil for their own corporate profit?"
Thank you for your time and consideration in reading this letter. All of us involved in bringing this
conference to your attention urge you to attend this conference. Everyone who eats has a stake in
the future of food production, and who controls it.

Japan Will Look to Canada Instead of U.S. for Soybeans:
The May 9 edition of Good Morning Ontario states that the U.S.
ag attache in Japan reported imports of U.S. soybeans are forecast
to decline in 2001/02, as soybean users continue to shift to non-GM
soybeans from Canada and Brazil. "In order to meet Japan's increasing
demand for non-GMO food soybeans, both Brazil and Canada have
rapidly increased their soybean exports," says the attache. "For example,
Brazil's share in volume increased from 12%in 1999 to 16 % in 2000.
Canada's share increased from 3%in 1999 to 5% in 2000. As a result,
the U.S. market share dropped from 79% in 1999 to 64% in 2000." ~,~ C)

IV. Identity Preservation -
Canada Supplies Non-GMO and IP Soybeans: Various trade journals
have looked at the issue of Canada supplying a growing market for _~ 7- .'7
non-GMO as well as identity-preserved (IP) soybeans. According to
some in the soybean industry, Canada (specifically Ontario who is a major --
soybean producing province) has a competitive advantage in being able
to supply non-GMO white helium soybeans. Japanese buyers who want
non-GMO white soybeans turn to Canada who will later process the
soybeans into white tofu. A staff person for the Ontario Soybean Growers
(OSG) said that some companies involved in trading non-variety specific
white soybeans believe that the introduction of a Roundup Ready white
soybean would be harmful to the Ontario industry. Other companies that
trade in higher-value, variety-specific IP markets think it would enhance
their business. A trader for Maple Leaf foods said that there is "zero
demand" beyond the crush market from overseas buyers for GM white
soybeans. However, the trader also stated that Asian buyers are choosing
Ontario soybeans because of the IP programs in place and not because the
soybeans are from Ontario or that they are non-GM white soybeans. A seed
marketing manager from Monsanto indicated that Roundup Ready Soybeans
would not be available in Canada in 2001.
Increasing Acreage to IP Soybeans in Ontario: According to a March 16
Ontario Farmer article, IP soybean production in Ontario has increased
from a minor crop several years ago to accounting for a nearly a third
of all soybean acres (approximately 650,000 acres, based on Statistics
Canada soybean acreage of 2.2 million acres). The president of First

Line Seeds says that food grade soybeans in North America tend to be Gorman
categodzed according to how Asian buyers view quality. Generally,
Canadian soybeans are valued over U.S. soybeans, and soybeans grown
in the northern regions like Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Ontario have an
edge over soybeans grown further south. The climate in the more northern
regions tend to result in higher protein levels. Regarding soybean
quality, the lowest level quality soybeans are the crusher beans. The
rest of the rankings in ascending order are as follows: mixed non-GMO
varieties; non;GMO varieties that are identity-preserved; mixed white
varieties; mixed white varieties that are identity preserved; then IP
varieties with special nits. At the top of the quality chart for North
American soybeans are premium IZP varieties that closely resemble top
varieties grown in Japan for tofu and natto

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: 2001JUL 23 Ptq l: l~2
AN EQUATION FOR ACTION CII'Y CLERK
Environmental Racism Conference IOWA CITY, IOWA
University of Oregon
January 24-26, 1997
William M. Harris, AICP
School of Architecture
Department of Urban and Environmental Planning
University of Virginia
This conference has offered important new insights into some of the issues
and challenges that confront the fairness struggle in the holistic environmental
sphere. Conference participants have glenned the motivations for disparities of
policy implementation as a function of race, gender, social class, and location. It
is through these considerations that the conference has proven a very real value
for further intellectual inquiry and policy making. We commend the planners
and presenters for their informative, productive contributions. We also extend
appreciation to the community of scholars at the University of Oregon for hosting
this program.
My purpose tonight is to offer brief comments summarizing the sessions
and hopefully stimulate further discussion of the issues and challenges presented.
A closing comment is essential to properly motivate each of us to remember that
the struggle against oppression requires a full-time commitment of energy, time,
and courage. Especially is it important to reflect upon the seriousness of the
situation in which we find ourselves as observers and participants in an exercise
of alteruafives of life and death, progress and survival, and choice and regression.
Let me offer comments in the model of an equation. Trained as a physical
scientist, I have come to respect the power of equations as a very useful way to
Michael
Gorman
2
consider complex behaviors...both physical and social. The power of an equation
lies in the reality of its relationships, that is, an equation consists of two balanced
or equal sides. Let us consider the implications of environmental racism within
the context of equations.
To productively discuss relationships, it is necessary to define two key terms
that will hold prominence in the discussion. First is environmental. Environment
is the sum total of the social, political, economic, and natural systems. To make
it possible to more conveniently understand environment, we must close the
system to be limited to that which we can either measure or recognize through our
senses. Second is the definition of racism. Talmadge Anderson of Washington
State University describes racism as [individual or institutional] holding the view
that a race (of people) is inherently inferior to another; this is prejudice. A second
requirement for the existence of racism is having the power to implement or carry
out these biased views. I will comment upon environmental racism within these
definition contexts. Clearly these definitions are not limited to natural systems or
the ecological domain. Equally there is assumption that some are at risk more
than others as a function of design and intent...not accident.
Returning to the idea of an equation, let me poslt the following relationship:
Environmental Justice is the difference of Environmental Sustainability and
Environmental Racism; where the latter is the sum of Social Discrimination,
Political Oppression, Economic Inequifies, and Ecological Abuse. In order to
employ the notation of equations, we must allow a shorthand where_we le~

EJ = Environmental Justice
ER = Environmental Racism
ES: Environmental Sustainability
SD = Social Discrimination
PO = Political Oppression
EI: Economic Inequities
EA: Ecological Abuse ~7- .-:7
and the equation is
EJ = ES - ER
and ER = [SD+PO+EI+EA].
It is apparent that environmental justice is realized ONLY when the social,
political, economic, and ecological factors are not limited. The equation also puts
the definition ofsustainabili(V to equal that of fairness or environmental justice.
The folly of the myth of the"founders" of the Constitution is a classless
society. From the very initial effort, lead by the super racist slave holder Thomas
Jefferson, the white men (supported by their women) framed a social system that
by law (de jure) placed African Americans in an inferior position. Employing
color as the most salient basis for social status in the nation, European Americans
exploited their power of military and numbers to constrain Africans and other
people of color to second class status. This social discrimination was sustained
through the brutality of African American slavery and Native American genocide.
To achieve these oppressive ends, whites exploited the natural environmental
resources of land, air, water, and species in a manner disproportionately in their
favor. Only to a degree has these behaviors changed in four hundred years.

2Q~I JUL 23 P~l I.'
The prlmaOz purpose ef all governments is to maintain stability...that is,
CiTY
protect the status quo. The American political system shares this clOP~ ~I~,~A
0
of governments. The status quo for European Americans is a powerless, token-
represented African American community. Politics is the business of public
decision making and private sector influence. Historically and traditionally, we
African Americans have been the most aggressive group politically. In fact, the
primary contribution of African peoples to the Western Hemisphere is the
struggle against oppression...It certainly is not sports, dance and music, or sex.
Notably, it has been the Congressional Black Caucus that has made the most
significant proposals for environmental protection over the last decade; none has
been taken seriously by the majority membership of Congress. Four years ago,
the Atlantic Monthly reported that "all political decisions in America are race
specific." Political oppression of African Americans is continuous and real; the
politically correct myth is that things have improved.
The United States is a capitalistic nation founded upon a commitment of
enslavement for African Americans and the land-rape of Native Americans.
White people have never done the hard work in this nation. The so-called
pioneers were able to go West only at the expense of native peoples. Southerners
were able to fashion plantations only at the expense of African slaves. The ugly
tragedy has been that abusive European Americans have forced African
Americans and Native Americans to destroy the natural systems in fulfillment of
white people's desires. African Americans own less than one percent of the
nation's wealth; sit on very few major corporation board of directors; experience
two hundred percent greater rejection for home loans than their white cohorts;
and are rejected for leadership positions in colleges and university faculties and

administrations. The continued economic inequities put upon Africa~_~.~ner~an~n
is borne out in the national rates of poverty, quality of health, and~itu~fona~C~
~ -
wealth. > 22
The final term in our equation is an indicator of the level of injury caused
the natural systems through the exploitation of humans. White environmentalists
speak of ecological abuse as the destruction or exceeding of carrying capacity of
a "natural" system. Such thinking is calculatedly racist. The greatest abuse of
the environment by European peoples in the North and South worlds has been
that against human populations. The excesses, prolonged injuries, and
irreversible damages owe more to racist, sexist practices than to the cutting of
trees, damming of rivers, or poising of the atmosphere.
It is critically important to view environment in the open system perspective
rather than limiting it to an ecological frame of reference. Many deep ecologists
articulate the view that humans and other natural systems share equally the value
of life and being; however, these people are never seen protesting the privileges
of whites over African Americans and other people of color. The white faculty in
my school argue for a sustainable environment while at the very same instant they
support the promotion of the most racist, sexist white men and women.
In closing, environmental justice IS environmental sustainability. In our
use of equations and mathematics, the word 'is' means equal to. For those who
think it is possible to build sustainable futures without first meeting the terms of
the equation offered here are mistaken. Given more time, we may discuss the
coefficients or weights that must be given each term in the equation. It is the
manipulation of these terms that will ensure a future that protects all elements
composing the environment...the social, political, economic, and ecological.

Discovery Farm Project Looking for Solutions 2~> -':'
Answering producers' call for help in dealing with encroaching environmental
regulations, Discovery Farms are being recruited to help with on-farm partnerships to
find out which best management practices have the most effect on environmental
protection, without incurring excessive cost to farmers.
An integral part of the Wisconsin Ag Stewardship Initiative (WASI), the Discovery Farm
program takes a real-world approach to finding the most economical solutions to
overcoming the challenges environmental regulations place on farmers. The whole-farm
system will be looked at on every Discovery Farm to determine how each management
component affects the whole system and the system's effect on the environment.
The goal of Discovery Farms is not only to help farmers find the best solutions to dealing
with environmental regulations, but also to shape future environmental regulations to fit
what's applicable and achievable in Wisconsin, in order to maintain a viable agricultural
economy.
Currently one Discovery Farm has been selected, located in Independence. This farm,
operated by the Bragget family, consists of dairy, beef, poultry and cropping enterprises.
The Discovery Farm program is envisioned to include 25 to 30 farms total, spanning
Wisconsin's diverse soil types, physical and water characteristics and cropping and
livestock enterprises.
Discovery Farms is a producer-driven project, with a largely producer-based advisory
board. WASI is a partnership with cooperation from the State of Wisconsin, the
University of Wisconsin system, DATCP, DNR, NRCS and extension, as well as
WMMB and Wisconsin Farm Bureau. The Discovery Farm program is being headed up
by Dennis Frame, nutrient management specialist in Wisconsin, and Fred Madison, UW-
Madison soil scientist.
The Discovery Farm application deadline is May 31. r tion or for more
information about WASI and the Discovery Farm program, contact Dennis Frame (715-
299-0081 ), Fred Madison (608-263-4004) or Shannon Hayes (608-527-3462,

Discovery Farm Program... What Producers ....
Should Expect As Participants? 2~0t JUL 23 Ptq
Introduction: CITY
The Wisconsin Agriculture Stewardship Initiative is an effort among producers, d6Z~/~it~,,t'[v IOWA
researchers, agricultural organizations and government agencies to develop an approach to
production agriculture that results in environmentally compatible and economically sustainable
farms. The Discovery Farm Program links the research components (both component and
systems research) and commercial operations. The role of a Discovery Farm is to determine how
to implement management recommendations and to determine how these recommendations
impact the operation in terms of environmental quality, labor requirements, changes in
management practices and the impact of these recommendations on farm profitabi l ity.
What is required to participate as a Discoven, Farm?
1. Must operate a functioning agricultural enterprise that is representative ofthe industry.
2. Must have or be willing to develop a soil conservation plan that reduces soil loss to tolerable
level (T). The farm does not have to currently be farming within tolerable levels, but they
must be willing to change management practices to get to tolerable levels during the study.
3. Must have or be willing to develop a nutrient management plan that at the minimum provides
nutrients at the nitrogen needs of the crop. A second nutrient management plan will be
developed for the operation that is based on phosphorus management. A comparison of the
differences in crop production, management practices, equipment needs, labor requirements
and financial impacts of following a phosphorus based nutrient management plan will be
evaluated.
4. Must be willing to share financial information so that the cost of adopting changes in
management practices can be identified. Discovery Farms need to provide information on
the current costs of storing and handling manure, level of nutrient crediting currently being
taken, hauling distances and labor and management requirements. This will provide the
baseline information necessary to determine the cost of proposed environmental regulations.
5. Must be willing to adopt changes in farming practices and to keep tract of how these changes
affect their labor requirement, equipment needs, increases or reductions in purchased
nutrients, affects on yield and profitability.
6. Willingness to participate in field days or meetings to discuss their experiences with other
farmers.
7. It is anticipated that farmers selected as Discovery Farms will be in the program ti3r 3 - 5
years. The collection of base farm data will take a few months and then the identification
and implementation of practices will take another period of time. Monitoring outcomes and
costs will be done for the remainder of the program. Practices that are cost-shared may need
to be maintained for a period of time greater than the program (7 - 10 years).

Gorman
What will .articinants receive?
I. A $5,000 annual stipend for their time and assistance with this project.
2. Assistance developing and implementing their soil conservation plan to tolerable levels.
3. Assistance developing and implementing their nutrient management plan.
4. Technical and possibly financial assistance with changes in facilities or management
practices that will improve their environmental management.
5. Some farms will have monitoring equipment placed in order to determine the level of
nutrients or sediment reaching water resources.
6. Technical and possibly financial assistance with the implementation of best management
practices.
7. Phosphorus and nitrogen balance sheets for the entire operation.
8. Some level of confidentiality in terms of financial information.
9. Protection from the regulatory community and environmental groups for the changes that
should be implemented based on their current farming practices. L~

LANDMARK LAWSUIT CHALLE
FDA POLICY ON GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED FOOD
EMINENT SCIENTISTS, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, AND
RELIGIOUS LEADERS DEMAND ADEQUATE SAFETY
TESTING AND MANDATORY LABELING
CHARGE AGENCY WITH IGNORING SIGNIFICANT
HEALTH RISKS, VIOLATING CONSUMER RIGHTS, AND
INFRINGING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
On May 27, 1998, the Alliance for Bio-Integrity led an unprecedented coalition of scientists, health
professionals, religious leaders, and consumers in filing a laxvsuit against the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) to obtain mandatory safety testing and labeling of all genetically engineered
foods. The suit alleges that current FDA policy, which permits such altered foods to be marketed
without testing and labels, violates the agency's statutory mandate to protect public health and
provide consumers xvith relevant information about the foods they eat. It also charges that the policy
violates religious freedom.
The Alliance assembled the coalition and coordinated the suit, which was filed in U.S. District Court
in Washington, D.C. and was followed by a press conference at the National Press Club which was
televised by C-Span, The Washington-based International Center for Technology Assessment (CTA)
collaborated in organizing the suit and is serving as lead counsel. Both the Alliance for Bio-Integrity
and the CTA are nonprofit organizations dedicated to the protection of human health and the
environment through sustainable and safe technologies.
The Need for Stronger Safety Testing
The FDA does not require testing of genetically engineered foods because it regards them to be as
safe as their natural counterparts. This policy is based on the assumption that piecemeal, haphazard
insertion of genes from distant and dissimilar species into an organism's DNA is substantially
equivalent to sexual reproduction between like organisms, in which entire sets of genes are con~bined
in a harmonious and ordered manner. The lawsuit alleges that this assumption is false, since it
ignores the unpredictable disruptions that the foreign genes can cause in their new system. Through
these disruptions, familiar foods can become toxic or carcinogenic.

Obstacles to Effective Communication of Emotions
Pages 229-236
Z ,Oi JUL 23 PH I: tit+
Emotions
CiTY CLERK
Emotions are based on social values, norms, and traditions ofsocial groups. IOWA CITY, IOWA
Wc learn when and when not to express how we feel.
Emotions foster or impede understanding between people. (important to communication)
Most people repress or express emotions ineffectively.
Express or Repress?
Repress emotions to spare another persons feelings.
Repress emotions not to burden others with your feelings.
Repressing emotions or not communicating can be bad for you. When feeling strongly about
something it is important to express emotions in appropriate way. Relationships and physical
health can suffer if emotions are repressed.
4 Reasons people DON'T share emotions
Social Expectations refers to social factors that shape feelings and how we express thefit
In United States emotional expression is discouraged.
Men restrain from expressing emotion (Mr. Spok)
Social expectations keep us from expressing emotions in turn we do not own our feelings and thoughts,
which leads to poor communication.
Vulnerability refers to not wanting to express feelings because we don't want to expose ourselves to
others.
Reluctant to give others inside information that could affect others perceive us (expressed emotions
can affect our Belonging, Self-esteem, and Seff-actualization needs)
Protecting Others not expressing feeling b/c of fear of hurting or upsetting others.
Totally open and unrestrained expression of feelings isn't always good. (Social expectations can set
boundaries)
Deal with feelings internally before trying to communicate.
This can also have negative effect on relationships with others and threaten our health.
Social and Professional Roles refers to the idea that roles define what and when expressed emotions
are appropriate.
'Police don't cry'
'Lawyers don't express emotions'
'Teachers don't express attraction to students'
Make thoughtful choices about whether, when, and how to express our feelings.
3 common forms of Ineffective Exnression of Emotions
Speaking in Generalities refers to the idea that terms expressed are so general and abstract that they
don't clearly communicate our feelings.
No one single word like 'mad' can express how someone feels. Emotions come in groups, not as single
feelings.
'Frustrated' can include feelings of anger, confusion, anxiety, hurt, and disappointment...
Not Owning Feelings refers to not expressing emotions by stating feelings in a way that places
responsibility for them on others.
Proctor found that this is the most common obstacle to effective emotional communication
Relates to the 'l' and 'you' languages discussed in chapter 4 (nobody can make us feel anything)
Counterfeit Emotional Language refers to idea that emotions are expressed but they don't actually
describe what a person is feeling.
"Leave me alone]" reveals something but not what is being felt. (Why?)
Important to use clear descriptions of our feelings and how we feel about others' behavior.
