25 YEARS AGO: Thirty-five marchers, wearing dust masks, presented the Deputy Forest Supervisor John Maschi written appeals, along with a 1,000-signature petition to halt herbicide spraying in the Stanislaus National Forest. The group marched from Sonora Plaza to the Forest Service offices where Maschi met them with punch and water. The marchers wore black clothes and masks to symbolize the mourning for the plants and animals that could have fallen vitum to chemicals designed to eliminate competition between ground cover and seedlings on tree plantations.
