Moby Dick Hotel

On october the 18th we are serving a wild mushroom dinner with 7 courses. We pick-em and serve- em

Everything is house made and the cost is $45

Fritzi Cohen has filed a lawsuite against the Washinton State Department of Agriculture claming damages that could surpass  1 million dollars.All of this could have been stopped by the actions of the govorner whan we gave her a petition with 800 names and the request from the Independent shellfish growers of Washington State that has all 327 members in agreement that no pesticides should be allowed in the salt waters of our state.The plea of the people that want safe food was ignored by Gregoire.We now must spend our lives in court to reach truth.The other thing we can do is vote her out. I believe that the best intrest and health of the people and the enviroment are not represented with the current leader of our state and she must be called to task.Also she does not seem to be pursuing Taylor shellfish for the back money owed the state tax payer for illegaly using state lands.

Any chef on the longbeach penninsula that serves willapa bay oysters in there restaurant in my humble opinion does not care how selective he is about what they feed there patrons.After thousands of gallons of pesticides were used in the bay and continued use of poison directly on oyster beds for mud shrimp the bay has died.An oyster collects these things .How many people do you know That all of a sudden are allergic to oysters?MAybe its the poisons in them.DUH!I wonder if there are rotten fish being sold just to make a buck.In any case when you eat here on the penninsula make sure you ask where tha oysters come from and then depending on the answer you must ask where the clams come from.Finaly if all come from the bay here you must ask why is this chef so uninformed and wonder about all thier food.When china had lead in the toys we banned the toys.Mind you instead of just not buying them.We had that option. When you poison the water with pesticides and say oh its ok, You at that time do not know if there was drift or if you children will be deformed.

So I say until they tast all product coming from the bay it is not safe to eat

Willapa bay has been poisoned .All the salmon all the crab are gone.I live on the bay and see what has left including the shore birds

I spelled it wrong above in case it moves this info up automatically.We have filed a claim against WSDA and are ready to tell the truth with science.Why would you eat anything that lives in a chemical enviroment?Call 360- 665- 4543

Hello out there.I am updating the blog to let all you members know what is new.First of all the Gov .has been informed that all of our membership will vote for someone else if she does not stop the poisoning of Willapa bay.We are now at 327 members and we also have the petition with 800 people and there email address.They are waiting to hear from us on what the gov is doing.I am requesting a meeting with her to see where she stands.I have talked to the acting head of the department of ag and given him proof about the way that they have lied about the spray that they have used.It was fun to make the trip around hood canal and visiting with all the members. Our voices will be heard or we will change leadership

Keep on oystering Keith

WSDA Letter

Ms. Cohen – this e-mail is in response to your request for information received by the Dept. of Agriculture on June 18, 2007. Your request was for, “…list and labels etc of the adjuvants that can be used with the imazypyr and glyphosate combination. Could you email me that info and also the info re what adjuvants have been used in 2005&6.” Ms. Mauerman, with our Pesticide Management division, has already responded to you regarding your request for the adjuvant labels. Below is the list of adjuvants used in Willapa Bay during the 2005 and 2006 time period. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you

Hi, Fritzi… I’ll make an effort to attend this meeting. I don’t support the herbicide dispersal in this case (& in most other cases, either)… and would prefer a more site-specific & labor-intensive control program, where warranted.

This may be of interest to you, if it’s new info: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6087547.html
It has to do with a “product” of spartina, which acts against certain halogenated hydrocarbon compounds. While I don’t totally support the application of the patent (eg a vehicle for genetic engineering), the quality of the spartina in this case makes it a potentially valuable ally against chemical pollution of a particularly nasty realm of chemical agents. chow ^..^

I have only briefly looked at this. I think this project is loaded with illegal or extralegal activities. i’m not sure that anyone really understand how dangerous what is happening here is in the broader context. Most people don’t care if Willapa Bay goes down the drain, but there are precedents being set here that are going to make it harder for everyone to fight the poisoning of our environment.
