* The Spirit of Water * THE SPIRIT OF WATER
December 6, 2006, 5:30 PM
Art Building, Meese Auditorium (Siskiyou Blvd/Indiana St), Southern Oregon University, Ashland, Oregon

“Water is life and we are the water.  We must protect her,” said an American Indian Elder.

We will be gathering to honor the Native American relationship to the water and Mother Earth. With the ongoing controversies in the West over sacred Native American sites being desecrated by development and commercialism, the issue needs to be addressed more than ever.  Water is sacred and needs to be held in reverence.

Rogue Indy Volunteers Wes Brain and Brenda Gould are headed to San Francisco to participate in LaborTech 2006 an international conference about labor media. This is very exciting stuff. Wes will be on a workshop panel Saturday morning. The workshop will view a dvd training video that was prepared by Wes's union SEIU #503. The video shows how to make a labor tv show on community access television. Go here to view it - hosted by the Indybay IMC: ( http://indybay.org/uploads/2006/10/27/seiu503-howtostart.mov)

The new KSKQ radio show "The Brain Labor Report" will be highlighted at the conference. Here are the two rogue indy newswires about this new daily morning radio show which is streamed on the internet Mon thru Fri @ 7AM pacific time.

The Brain Labor Report N20 thru N24
 http://www.rogueimc.org/en/2006/11/7540.shtml

Prior to the trip Wes Brain made the following comments about LaborTech 2006:

"In 2004 Steve Ryan and I went to SF for LaborTech 2004 and we were on a panel promoting our independent media centers. Ali was on our panel. He is a member of our media collective that made the documentary: The Miami Model. "The Miami Model" on google video:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6070018713445115976&hl;=en >

Our ftaa miami video collective has taken proceeds from dvd sales of the Miami Model and last week sent to Oaxaca 2-300GB Harddrives, a Video Camera and a stack of 100 dvds.

The conference kicks off with film screenings Friday evening and this one really caught my eye...

'The Taking Of The Media In Oaxaca (segment)- Women with the support of the Teachers Union Section 22 of Oaxaca occupied and ran the TV station and radio stations in this town. This documentary shows why they did this and how it was done'"

ESA exemption proposed for Klamath irrigators

Felice Pace, 05.11.2006 - 14:21
Dewatered Scott River, September 2003 California Fish & Game (CDFG) proposes giving agricultural operations in the Shasta and Scott Sub-basin of the Klamath River a virtual exemption from the California Endangered Species Act (C-ESA). The irrigators dewater the Scott and Shasta and, in drought years, Coho salmon, listed as “threatened” under the C-ESA, are among the fish killed. The proposed permit will not lead to Coho Recovery; it will allow dewatering to continue and put irrigators in charge of monitoring their own C-ESA compliance and reporting violations.

Brad Will, IMC journalist murdered in Oaxaca

Wes, another imc volunteer, 30.10.2006 - 09:32
Brad Oaxaca O25, '06 Here is Brad Will's last dispatch where he reports on the darkness that is all but ignored by the commercial news. His news report is testimony in and of itself as to the importance of independent media. Go light a candle for Brad Will. Long Live Independent Media!

Brad was an independent video journalist, a volunteer with the Independent Media Center in NYC. We have lost a journalist who helped shine light on news that is under-reported or not even told at all. Shame on the United States mainstream media for their corporate censorship when it comes to this 5 month long teacher and community struggle in Oaxaca, Mexico. So, so many don't even know. Were it not for imc reporters like Brad Will: No One Would Know.

Grants Pass Postal Service Picket Report Back

Dennis Hotchkiss, Oregon state-wide President APWU, 28.10.2006 - 15:27
American Postal Workers Union the message is clear - DON'T MESS WITH OUR MAIL SERVICE!

In the last six years the Postal Service has cut out nearly 100,000 APWU positions mostly clerks. That is nearly 1/3 of the workers from six years ago. The Medford Post Office, the mail processing plant for Southern Oregon, now works employees 7 days, 12 hour shifts and the mail still is not getting out in a timely manner- they just won't hire career employees to handle the workload.

Vote for Affordable Housing in Ashland

Join the affordable housing campaign, 20.10.2006 - 22:25
Hi Friends,
I received the following message from Rich Rohde and Oregon Action.  The local measure he references seems polarizing, unnecessary and won't receive much attention so I am sending along my recommendation to vote NO on Measure 15-65--Steve
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Ashland voters and friends,

Since there is no material in the voters guide about Ballot Measure 15-65 in Ashland please consider this letter and vote no.  Oregon Action has been supporting affordable housing for our community, and we recommend a no vote.

Ashland voters have the opportunity to do the right thing for affordable housing this election by voting a resounding No to Measure 15-65. Designed by anti-affordable housing ideologues, this measure changes the City charter to require that any proposal for a real estate transfer fee in Ashland must be put up for public vote. Read on for two great reasons to vote against 15-65
