October 10: Hearing on Gristedes' Suit Against LI Native Business
One of the few sources of jobs and income for residents on Long Island's two Indian reservations has been challenged by a law suit launched in March by the Gristedes Corp, the mult-million dollar super market chain.
The suit, filed in Federal Court, charges among other un-substantiated claims that sales by Long Island Native smokeshops to non - Indians fuel a black market operation with proceeds going to fund Hizbollah in Lebanon.
Gristedes, a privately held company formed out of a merger in 2004 with United Refining Company which operates gas stations and convenience stores in upstate New York, says its business is being hurt by the Indian cigarette sales.
A law passed by the New York State Legislature after lobbying by an asociation of convenience store operators would require Native tobacco and gasoline retailers to charge the State tax on these items if sold to non-Indians. The law has not been enforced by the Pataki administration but probable governor Eliot Spitzer has pledged to enforce it. The Native tribes say that such a law violates their sovereign rights under the law.
A hearing on the suit filed by the Gristedes Corporation against Long Island Native Tribes and businesses will be held October 10, 2006 at 12:30PM at 225 Cadman Plaza, Brooklyn, the US Eastern District Court, Room 10D, 10th Floor
The Long Island Native American Business Alliance has issued this action alert:
FILL THE COURTROOM – DISMISS THE CASE!!!

EVENT: Gristedes’ case hearing followed by a press conference and rally/peaceful demonstration. Drummers, singers, speakers, friends and allies of native peoples welcome.

October 10,17 (Tuesdays): Energy Forum in Bridgehampton at 7pm
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation will hold an "Energy Forum" at the Meeeting House, 977 Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Turnpike on Tuesday evenings starting at 7pm. (The initial forum was on October 3).
This series, led by John Andrews, PhD, and Edson Brolin, is designed to communicate to a lay public the enormity of the world’s global warming problem and the options available to us to deal with this problem before it is too late. Each session will allow ample time for questions and answers.
John Andrews is a retired scientist from Brookhaven National Laboratory with extensive experience in energy efficiency and global warming. Edson Brolin is a retired engineering executive with experience in the energy supply field in industry and government and in energy research at Princeton University .
Tuesday, October 3
“The Enormity of Energy” and “The Impact of Fossil Fuels.” This program will dramatize the size and character of the world’s energy system and will provide the kind of factual information that frees the public from having to rely on commentators who may have their own agendas. Next, the program will examine the impact and benefits of fossil fuels, leading to a discussion of fossil-fuel alternatives on October 10 and 17.
Tuesday, October 10
“Energy Efficiency” and “Nuclear Power.” Energy efficiency is an area that offers much potential for reduction in energy use. Nuclear power is a controversial technology that has a large potential to replace energy now being produced by fossil fuels.
Tuesday, October 17
“Renewable Energies” and “Carbon Sequestration.” The final program will present renewable energy technologies, including solar cells, geothermal and wind power, and carbon sequestration, the storing of greenhouse gases underground. Dr. Andrews and Mr. Brolin will lead a discussion what has been learned and what actions might be taken to alleviate global warming.
Questions? Please call Edson Brolin at 631-537-1428.
