AUSTIN — The Texas Pesti
cide Watch announced Tuesday
it will release a weekly “con
sumer food alert” listing foods
that are contaminated with any
level of pesticides, including
cancer-causing EDB.
Director Tani Adams said the
environmental group, in coop
eration with the Texas Consum
ers Union, decided to compile
the weekly list because of con
sumer interest in the amount of
ethylene dibromide in food sold
in Texas.
“What we’re starting today is
a consumer food alert to tell
consumers about any product
found by the (Texas) Health
Department to contain EDB,”
said Carol Barger, director of
the Texas Consumers Union.
She said the list will be avail
able to the public and super
markets, and the grocery stores
around the state will be encour
aged to post it.
“It’s not secret information,”
Barger said. “They’re just not
making it routinely available.”
Adams said the Texas Health
Department is identifying only
those foods that contain EDB
levels that exceed state stan
dards, which some environmen
talists and consumer groups say
are too lax.
Adams said other states have
set stricter standards that, if
used in Texas, would lead to the
banning of many products now
on Texas supermarket shelves.
The Texas Health Depart
ment has tested 705 grain and
citrus products for ethylene di
bromide and determined that
400 products contained levels
of EDB ranging from 1 part per
billion to 29,000 parts per bil
lion. But Adams said only 48
products have been recalled un
der state guidelines.
In the first bulletin issued by
the Pesticide Watch, more than
400 products, ranging from
oatmeal cereal to cake mixes to
Florida oranges, were identified
as containing levels of EDB.

Power and her husband, the
Rev. Larkin Jackson Power Jr.,
were arrested March 20 at a
north Harris County motel.
Harris County sheriffs au

another woman were arrested
at a “party” arranged by under

Power’s phone number from a

When arrested, Mrs. Power
told deputies she was a piano

been found in an attic and will
be published this spring.
The book, to be titled “Vi
sions in Spring," will be released
May 26 and is described by its
publisher, the University of
Texas Press, as a “haunting”
and “lyrical” work that ad
dresses loneliness, desire and
other “basic human emotions.”
The poems marked the tran
sition of the Nobel Prize-win
ning author from poet to novel
ist and was his last major work
of poetry before publishing his
first novel, “Soldier’s Pay.”
Faulkner, best known for the
novels “Absalom, Absalom!”
and “The Sound and the Fury,”
bound the poetry by hand and
presented the 88-page volume
in the early 1920s to his future
wife, Estelle Franklin.
