of i ases. the average c itizen
wasn’t aware of the advance
ments that homosexuals were
making and how far they want

Ranchers turn grubstake into cash cow
POKTHILL. Idaho (AIM —
Dennis and Pam Ponsness are
the first to admit their job stinks
But raising millions of mag
gots for bait and pot shops has
its rewards for the couple, now
savoring the sweet smell of sue •
cess.
“Some people thought we
were? a little nuts when we start
ed." said Dennis Ponsness. "It
used to bother me to say I raise
maggots, but now it's kind of a
kick
The biggest drawback is the
stench of rotting fish corpses
used to fatten up the fly larvae
before they are shipped in can
isters to retailers at ross the
United States '
"It's gross I did a lot of gag
ging before I got used to it," said
Pam Ponsness. who still some
times wears a respirator into the
trailer where the fly larvae are
halt tied.
The odor of the grubs and the
rotting fish permeate clothing
“We have to shower twice a
day and wear the some overalls
that wo leave hanging outside,"
Ponsness said. "It s a smelly
operation, hut we don't smell
anv worse than a hog farmer
"A lot of our worst and host
conversations have been over
that table shaking maggots,"
Ponsness said, referring to the
sawdust-sifting process II we
want privat v. that's the plat e to
go. because we know no one
will come in here."
Mrs Ponsne&s laughs as she
remembers her husband run
ning through the house with a
vacuum, sucking up flies to start
the business. Once, the temper
ature m the trailer was too high
and the maggots became more
active, some squirming out of
their boxes
I knew we were in trouble
when I could see them coming
out the door." Pam Ponsness
said. "They covered the floor.
"I always know something
went wrong when I hear Dennis
outside with the v acuum clean
er."
