Glover state commissioner of mental health is expected to ask the Legis lature for funding in January to start the tran sition to community based care But the money may not come soon enough Even if more community hospitals agreed to admit these patients they would first need to hire staff and build locked wards which would require a lengthy review process by state regulators And local agencies

retire healthy happy Why should I re Officials hope to declare victory in Medfly battle By MICHAEL WHITE Associated Press LOS ANGELES Officials hope to declare victo ry in a long and costly battle against toe Mediterra nean fruit fly this week but they said Sunday toe war against the crop destroying pest over No flies have been found during inspections of traps meant to sample the population ana assess toe threat to toe $18 billion a year farm industry That leads experts to believe toe Medfly is gone for now saia noy uunmngnam chairman ot me state Medfly Science Advisory Panel know people are shipping fruit in all the time illegally but toe infestation from toe previous epi sode is Cunningham said The pest is believed to enter toe state in illegally imported fruit and vege tables State and federal quarantines could be lifted by Thursday or riday officials said But toe long term war will continue through stricter inspection pro grams and a state sponsored search for better traps and lures The quarantines were imposed on movement of fruit from infested areas mostly in urban and resi dential sections of Southern California The big wor ry was that toe flies could spread to agricultural areas in the southern part of the state or to the farm country in toe San Joaquin Valley to the north Slightly smaller than a common housefly toe Medfly lays its eggs in soft skinned fruits causing toe fruit to rot The fly has plagued California farmers since the early 1980s Since July 1989 the state and federal gov ernments have spent $52 million in a program that included aerial pesticide spraying over a 500 square mue area to battle tne stuoDom pest The costliest campaign against toe Medfly began in 1980 when $100 million was spent over 27 months in a statewide eradication effort Quarantin es that kept produce from being shipped out of state cost California farmers another $100 million In the most recent battle some communities were sprayed repeatedly with the pesticide malathion generating a loud public outcry that included law suits and 300 damage claims against the state The protest left officials leery of another pro longed aerial campaign said Gera Curry spokeswo man for the California Department of ood and Agriculture is not our preferred method This is not the best way to do it said Curry no one antic ipated the explosive nature of the infestation last But opponents contend officials are just trying to lull the public into complacency saying victory because it will calm us down but a political said Pat Reichen berger former mayor of the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park who opposed aerial spraying over his community think over by any means be Typically infestations are attacked by a single spraying followed by toe release of millions of sterile flies so that propagation declines The state resorted to heavy repeated sprayings last summer after toe supply of sterile flies was ex hausted and infestations continued to threaten Cali fruit industry Just when victory actually is declared depends on the results of recent trap inspections Because toe length of the life cycle varies widely from three weeks to more than a month depending upon weather officials want to be certain toe flies really are gone Curry said Stricter inspection measures will help prevent an other massive aerial spraying campaign Curry said Researchers are convinced the Medfly enters Cal ifornia from fruit and vegetables brought in illegally from Hawaii and Central and South America A bill recently nassed bv the Legislature authorized the de partment to begin regular inspection of plane and ship cargos coming from overseas Curry said Airlines and shipping firms will pay for toe pro gram through user fees Curry said CONTAINS 36 WIPES (8 12
