We have a correction to the story aired January 28 on the arrest and conviction of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation employee Joseph Maita of Ione for workers’ compensation insurance fraud. Although sentenced to 40 days in jail, Maita was permitted to serve on a work program in lieu of jail pending good behavior. According to the District Attorney’s official press release, Maita also “received benefits and medical treatment as a result of” an “alleged (knee) injury.” There has been dispute over the use of the word “alleged”, as Maita contests his injury is valid and still existing. When contacted, the District Attorney’s office said they are not disputing whether the knee injury was valid, but whether a doctor’s note was forged. Maita was convicted on January 15.

Why to Look Out for the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Are you being Bugged? By Mary Tran A year ago we asked you, “Have You Seen This Bug?” It was an alert, to let you know that the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), a new pest attacking many crops, might be coming to our county. There are plenty of BMSB in Sacramento and other parts of the state. So far, there have been no sightings in our county. Whew! The UC Cooperative Extension has actively watched for them since April, using traps set up in several parts of our county. No BMSB have been caught to date. Now that the weather is turning cooler, if there are any BMSB hiding out in our county they will be looking for nice places to spend the winter, such as your house. That means that the first person to spot one of these guys could be an innocent homeowner. The BMSB may arrive in large numbers, or just singly, through house cracks, tiny holes or clinging to windows, and they will stink if you try to sweep them or vacuum them up. If you find any suspect BMSB clustering on trees in your area, or in your house, please try to collect a sample. Put it into a sealable plastic container and bring it to UC Cooperative Extension, 311 Fair Lane, Placerville. For questions or help with samples, you can contact Mary Tran (This email address is being protected from spambots.
