AGRICULTURAL TRENDS That really could be weed growing near

ALEX HORVATH / THE CALIFORNIAN Farmer Andy Stenderup shares how his hemp crop is progressing. The leaves have an oily texture, making it ideal for harvest. His plants, off Edison Road, are more than 10 feet tall and will be harvested in the next couple of weeks. Arvin, lawsuit says

Placed beside Ubu, enjoy the view. a picture of what was thought ALEX HORVATH / THE CALIFORNIAN R to be harmless industrial hemp, it read, “Relax. This is not actually weed growing near Arvin.” Well, some of it might really be weed after all. A recent lawsuit claims private testing found samples from hemp planted in the Arvin area “signifi- cantly exceeded” the federal limit for THC, the high-inducing chemi- cal in marijuana. Not that there’s anything wrong with that legally, thanks to a federal hemp exemption many consider a loophole. Under the 2014 Farm Bill, busi- nesses registered as research insti- tutions — in this case, a Colorado company operating locally under the name Apothio LLC — are per- mitted to grow and possess hemp that’s “hot,” defined as having a THC concentration greater than 0.3 percent. WHAT THEN? Registered researchers like Apothio, unlike commercial hemp producers, aren’t required to test their crop, let alone destroy it, as long as the intent is to eventually develop a crop whose THC levels is within legal limits. For Apothio, the question then Rio Bravo becomes, what if the hemp really does test hot?

With rehab — including exercise and lifestyle changes — the likeli- hood that a heart attack survivor will live an- other five years doubles. But because rehab is time-consuming and costly, most patients don’t do it. The Moving Analytics team thought tech- nology might achieve what our crisis-fo- cused health system couldn’t — help pa- tients follow a personalized rehab program from home, manage their medication and exercise and report their activities to their caregivers. They sought out the best existing cardiac rehab program they could find, at Stanford, and licensed its research, evidence and care management system to create an app that remotely coaches people through rehab. The company says its approach lowers rehab costs, requires fewer doctor visits, and gets 80 percent of patients through their re- hab programs. The company has signed up clients including the VA and delivers cardiac rehab through major medical centers includ- ing NYU Langone. Moving Analytics, with its USC and Stanford influences, is clearly a California company — but its founders say it is pro- foundly influenced by their experiences as immigrants. Their own struggles to translate concepts between languages and cultures — and communicate with their company’s diverse staff — have helped them design an easi- er-to-understand health tool. Their com- mitment to home-based care reflects their own familiarity with national health systems that aren’t so tied to doctor’s offices and hospitals. Ade attributes the company’s frugal style — they’ve managed all this with less than $3 million in venture funding — to their own belt-tightening habits. “I don’t think we could have started this company in any other country,” says Harsh.

SUNDAY FORUM

LETTERS What comes around doesn’t go around? Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s hypocrisy is showing. Speaking in regard to the Democrats opening up impeachment inquiries, McCarthy stated that Con- gress’ job is to move the country forward and to stop investigating. Maybe he is suffering from forgetfulness, but I’m sure I remember him bragging about investigating Hilary Clinton and Beng- hazi after the matter had already been investigated by various congressional committees prior to him. So it’s fine for Republicans to investigate Demo- crats multiple times but not the other way around? Just in case he forgot, his bragging about the investigation and its effect on Clinton’s poll numbers is what cost him the speakership. — Luis Valladares, Bakersfield THE OATH Today I heard a message by Con- gressman Kevin McCarthy that the job of Congress is to legislate and to “make tomorrow better than today.” I believe he forgot the most important role of members of Congress and that is to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from enemies, both PHOTO COURTESY OF SANDRA LARSON foreign and domestic.” This is found in Valley fever survivor Bella Martinez, center, with friends Chrissy, left, and Lauren. the pledge he and other members of Congress take at the beginning of each congress.

E7 T r a v e l Report: Avoid tea, coffee and lavatory water on airline fl ights BY NATALIE B. COMPTON The Washington Post If you’re reading this on an air- plane while sipping an in-flight coffee, you might want to put the cup down. According to a 2019 Airline Water Study released by DietDetective. com and the Hunter College New York City Food Policy Center at the City University of New York, “many airlines have possibly provided pas- sengers with unhealthy water.” The study, which took seven months to conduct, investigated the onboard water quality of 11 major and 12 regional airlines, then ranked them accordingly. Alaska Airlines and Allegiant had the best water quality scores of ma- jor airlines at 3.3, while JetBlue and Spirit Airlines had the worst, tying at the bottom with water health scores of 1 on a 0-to-5 scale. Almost all regional airlines Red lights, which help eyes remain adjusted to darkness, greet visitors to the Oregon Observatory at studied earned poor water health Sunriver.
