The Ag Net News Hour's Lorre Boyer and Nick Papagni, “The AgMeter” started out the show by discussing California's Assembly Bill 1264, which aims to ban ultra-processed foods from school meals by 2032. These foods are linked to 32 health conditions, including obesity and ADHD. The bill faces challenges in making healthy foods appealing to children and affordable for schools. Suggestions included using fresh, local produce and innovative packaging to make healthier options more appealing. The conversation also touched on the broader issue of food waste and the importance of addressing obesity, which is influenced by both diet and sedentary activities like video games. In the second segment, hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni discussed the severe impact of record honey bee deaths on agriculture, with U.S. beekeepers reporting over 60% colony losses, costing $139 million and raising honey prices. Pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids, are suspected, with multi-generational harm noted. The California almond industry, worth $11 billion, faces severe pollination shortages. Despite concerns, some argue that more bee companies indicate a future surplus. The University of California is studying long-term effects on pollinator populations. The hosts emphasized the importance of due diligence and ongoing research to address the issue. Lastly, Nick brought up the impact of recent storms on California's water allocation, with the Department of Water Resources increasing water to state projects to 40%. Nick criticized the 40% allocation, noting that much water goes to the ocean, while farmers struggle. They also discussed the challenges of using ocean water for firefighting due to salinization. Additionally, Nick ad Lorrie addressed a controversial wind energy project in Shasta County, which could generate 205 megawatts but faces opposition due to environmental and safety concerns. The project would benefit 80,000 homes, but local opposition has spent significant funds fighting it. Lorrie cited some issues with wind farms and wind turbines based upon her prior coverage in other areas of the country.

Find Baby Ember on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FindBabyEmber/ On July 1, 2015, six-month-old Ember Graham was staying with her father, Matthew, in Shasta County, California. According to Matthew, he fell asleep around 10:30 PM, just feet away from his daughter. When he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone. He called 911, and a large-scale search began. A few days later, Ember's pacifier was found miles away from her home—but there was no other sign of her anywhere. For the last nine years, law enforcement and Ember's family have never stopped searching. But she is still missing, leaving everyone asking the same question—where is Baby Ember? Six-month-old Ember Skye Graham went with her father, Matthew Graham, for an overnight visit on July 1, 2015. That afternoon, he made a stop at the Happy Stop store in Anderson, California. But after leaving the store, there was an unaccounted-for hour. Matthew and his cousin, Sara, later told authorities that he brought Ember home that evening and put her to bed. He claimed he fell asleep just a few feet away from her around 10:30 PM. But when he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone.  Authorities quickly named Matthew a person of interest. Eight days after Ember was reported missing, her pacifier was found miles from his home. The next day, Matthew went on the run. His manhunt ended on July 13 in a fatal shootout. Detectives believe Matthew confided in someone about what happened to Ember and where she is. They are still searching for answers. If you have any information about Ember's whereabouts, contact Shasta County Secret Witness at 530-243-2319 or the Shasta County Sheriff's Office at 530-245-6540. A $10,000 reward is being offered.

Sasha Abramsky, author of the new book "Chaos Comes Calling," talks about how America's deep polarization has cascaded from national politics down to local levels of governance. Abramsky reveals that even in small rural communities, once-mundane local issues like library policies, road repairs, and child care have become ideological battlegrounds. A quintessential example of this phenomenon is Shasta County, California, where far-right politicians won control of government. Abramsky illuminates how the pandemic, social media echo chambers, and talk radio amplified partisan voices, transforming school boards and city councils into microcosms of the broader red-blue divide.

Sequim––a quiet, coastal community just a couple hours away from Seattle––may seem like an unlikely microcosm for the rise of far-right politics. And yet, political journalist Sasha Abramsky has closely followed small-town communities, including Sequim, and argues that places like these have directly influenced current national politics. How could small-town USA be so instrumental in today's political climate, including Donald Trump's 2024 Republican presidential nomination? Abramsky argues that the far-right have worked to take control, using suspicion, conspiracy, and bigotry, and forming alliances of QAnoners, anti-vaxxers, Christian nationalists, and militia supporters within small towns across the country. Stemming from his latest book, Chaos Comes Calling, he investigates the rise of the far-right, telling the parallel stories of recent years in two communities: Shasta County, California and Sequim, Washington. The ultimate fates of these two towns were different though. Abramsky shows how Sequim has returned to less extreme political views, while Shasta County has descended further into intolerance and divisiveness. He highlights the differences between the communities, including the efforts to organize against the far-right movement. Places like Sequim may be small, but they may have huge ramifications in the national political scene. Abramsky believes there's a path forward from polarization that threatens to break apart communities, and towns as close as Sequim can show us how. Sasha Abramsky is a long-time political journalist and book author who has spent the last thirty years exploring the American political and social justice landscape. He has written extensively on poverty, criminal justice, immigration, and the rise of hard-right and alt-right political movements.

The 2016 Kidnapping Hoax Carried Out By Northern California Wife & Mother Sherri Papini.On November 2, 2016 while out on a job, 34 year old Sherri Papini inexplicably went missing while on a jog.  When her husband Keith arrived home to find nobody there, he immediately began looking for Sherri.  Using the Find My iPhone app, he pinged her location, which showed her phone to be near their mailboxes.  He found Sherri's phone, her earbuds, some of her blonde hair, but no sign of Sherri.  For 22 days there was no word from Sherri, that is until she miraculously reappeared on Thanksgiving Day.  And what happened to Sherri remained a mystery until 2020 when DNA found on Sherri's clothing when she was found was matched to an old boyfriend of hers named James Reyes, who ended up confessing to that the whole thing was a hoax Sherri came up with because she was cheating on her husband and probably didn't like him very much if she was willing to go to the lengths she went to just to get a break from him.  This series will go over the recordings of the interview and interrogations that took place in the ensuing days and years...SOURCES:PART 1 INTERVIEW:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLZI_o24Je8&t=229sPART 2 INTERVIEW:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0vfSmZKKGEJAMES REYES INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9N8ZPKOPI8SHERRI INTERROGATION: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7idBeFkj84EPISODE #70:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/070-the-tale-of-the-bizarre-odyssey-of-sherri-papini/id1250294822?i=1000423633739EPISODE #225:  https://open.spotify.com/episode/2WHBbaeoHmmlFMvU8siVAtFEDERAL COMPLAINT:  https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21588823-us-v-sherri-papini-criminal-complaint-march-3-2022GRUNGE ARTICLE: https://www.grunge.com/839349/the-untold-truth-of-sherri-papini/LINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enTwitter:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodEmail:  killaforniapod@gmail.com
