October 24 (Saturday): Fundraiser for SOA Watch L I and tribute to Dennis Urlaub of South Country Peace Group 6-10pm in Bellport

 Come to the fundraiser for SOA Watch Long Island and a tribute to Dennis Urlaub, recent co-chair of South Country Peace Group to honor his work with many Long Island peace and social justice groups at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Bellport, 51 Browns Lane. (Refreshments 6:00-8:00 / Program 8:00-10:00 PM) All monies raised will help send a local activist to Ft. Benning, GA for this year's annual protest to close the School of the Americas. $10.00 donation, more if possible, less if necessary. Jack's Waterfall and Michael Bonti will be performing as well as classical violinists, speakers, hot and cold buffet. Call 631-875-8647 for more info.

how do you raise $340k ?

Recently a radio broadcaster raised a few million to keep its organization going.


It is probably harder to raise $340k ... that is the yearly budget of community radio station WPKN 89.5 FM from Bridgeport (with it's twin in Montauk at 88.7 FM). As a staff member and producer at the station I want to ask you to help keep alternative (to NPR, commercials, underwriting and blah) radio alive on the air and streaming at wpkn.org.   


That's the station that broadcasts Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman (10 pm weekdays) , Free Speech Radio News and a diverse spectrum of musical genres from hip-hop and reggae to jazz, blues and classics and now - direct from the South Fork - folk music dished out by local musicians Caroline Doctorow and Mick Hargreaves (1st Saturday each month from 7 to 8 pm).  Other programs produced here on the East End include "Tidings from Hazel Kahan", a series of interviews and essays on topical subjects and "East End Ink" with readings from  poetry and prose works recorded at Canio's Books in Sag Harbor and other east end venues.


When local non-profits need a boost WPKN/M airs appeals from  organizations such as the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center or the East Hampton Food Pantry.

btw: You may not know that you can send your organization's announcements now to psa@wpkn.org or if you are staging a rally or political event to the White Rose Political Calendar at whiterosewpkn@gmail.com. (Send me a copy at eastendnewsteam@yahoo.com). Your announcement will be read on air and find its way onto our new web site (wpkn.org)*.
Keeping this going is getting harder with the deep recession we're going through! Contributions have been falling off but our expenses haven't, although with an all-volunteer staff (with the exception of the general manager and a part-time secretary) we keep our costs as low as they can possibly be.



Starting Saturday October 17 and extending through Sunday October 25 WPKN will be asking for your help.  Tune in and hear some unusual entertainment including 'Covering the Beatles' and the 'Best of WPKN'.  Get in the spirit and call our on-air fund-raising line at  203-384-wpkn (203-384-9756) during those days or contribute at www.wpkn.org * here you can visit our on-line store


Thanks for listening

An Invitation from Lisa Votino-Tarrant


Hi All,

I know some of you will also receive an email from the NAACP, so I apologize in advance for the duplicate. I wanted to make sure you knew about the Eastern Long Island NAACP Annual Membership Luncheon this Saturday, October 17th, 1:00pm at the Best Western in Riverhead. This year’s guest speaker will be Bob Zellner, Activist and Author of “The Wrong Side of Murder Creek.” I think if you know me you know Bob is one of my mentors and he never fails to educate and entertain, while sharing his experiences during the civil rights movement and beyond. Tickets are $50 and the branch now accepts credit cards!

The Eastern Long Island NAACP not only protects all of our civil rights on the East End, but also supports the work of other branches and organizations. We are usually everywhere and try to ensure that people know there is a strong presence of the NAACP here. While many of us volunteer long hours, we depend on contributions to cover our operating costs. While we understand that many people are cutting back this year, please know that violations of civil rights only rise in times like these. This means the NAACP works even harder for you.

If you are unable to attend, we hope you will still make a contribution. But a ticket for a young person or person with lesser means so they can see the NAACP working for them.

The luncheon is always a good time with great people and great food. I hope to see you there!

PS: Don’t just talk about it….Be about it!

Lisa Votino-Tarrant

October 17, 18 Memorial for Iraq and Afghanistan War Dead in Westbury


World March for Peace and Nonviolence
Contact: Camillo Bica 631-987-3338

Note: the Arlington memorial has been cancelled for this week. Other events -indoors- will be held.

On Saturday, October 17 and 18, 2009, Veterans For Peace Long Island (VFPLI) will be holding an Arlington, New York memorial for the U.S. military killed in Iraq and Afghanistan from 10:00AM-5:00PM.


On Saturday October 17th from 7:00-10:00PM there will be a Celebration of Peace featuring the music of Left On Red and the VFP LI Band and spoken word artist Lori Perdue and poet Thomas Brinson.  Both events are to be held at the Westbury Friends House, 550 Post Ave., Westbury, NY.

Veterans For Peace Long Island is an organization of veterans from all eras and their supporters dedicated to educating the public about the realities and consequences of war and exploring non-violent alternatives for resolving international conflicts.

More information about the Long Island events can be found at www.tinyurl.com/marchfpn.

This is the first World March to circle the earth calling for the end of war and nuclear arms, and the elimination of violence of all kinds. The intention of the March is to:achieve the eradication of nuclear weapons; the progressive and proportional reduction of non-nuclear arms; the signing of non-aggression treaties among nations; and the renunciation of governments of war as a way to resolve conflicts. The March hopes to generate a worldwide social conscience that condemns all forms of violence (physical, psychological, racial, religious, economic, sexual), which is currently so widespread and accepted by societies everywhere. The website for the World March is www.theworldmarch.org

The World March will begin in New Zealand on October 2, 2009, the anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, declared the “International Day of Nonviolence” by the United Nations. It will conclude in the Andes Mountains (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) on January 2, 2010. The March will last 90 days, three long months of travel. It will pass through all climates and seasons, from the hot summer of the tropics and the deserts, to the winter of Siberia. The American and Asian stages will be the longest, both almost a month. A permanent base of a hundred people of different nationalities will complete the journey.

The World March has been endorsed by hundreds of individuals and organizations across the globe including the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Carter, Ornette Coleman, Pete Seeger, Cornel West, Isabel Allende, Evo Morales Ayma, Daniel Ellsberg, Green Party of Turkey, Red Cross (Argentina), Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office, Cindy Sheehan, Veterans for Peace, Permanent Secretariat of Nobel Peace Laureates Summits and Mayors for Peace

OLA Film Festival: Friday Oct 2 in Southampton


TWO AWARD-WINNING FILMS FROM SOUTH AMERICA
FEATURED IN OLA FILM FESTIVAL

 
The Parrish Art Museum and OLA (Organización Latino-Americana) will present the 2009 OLA Film Festival Friday, October 2, from 6 to 11 pm, in the Parrish’s concert hall. The festival will include two films, Mi Mejor Enemigo (My Best Enemy) and El baño del Papa (The Pope’s Toilet), as well as wine, soft drinks, hors d’oeuvres, coffee and cookies, and live music performed by Raul Cardenas and DJ Chile a Admission to the festival is free. 

         Organized by OLA founder Isabel Sepulveda-de Scanlon, the evening will begin with wine  and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a screening of the Chilean/Argentine/Spanish production Mi Mejor Enemigo. This dark comedy was inspired by an actual border skirmish between Chile and Argentina in 1978. An outfit of Chilean soldiers ends up in Patagonia without any idea if they're on Chilean or Argentinean soil. A small company of Argentinean soldiers is waiting in a trench less than a football field away, but neither side knows what to do, especially when they realize their uniforms are all but impossible to tell apart from a distance. Before long a wary conviviality grows between them, though they're still not certain if they should regard one another as friends or enemies.
 
         An intermission with coffee and cookies  will be followed by the Uruguayan film El baño del Papa, in which the Pope’s impending visit to a small Uruguayan town stimulates a flurry of activity among the poorest residents, who hope to strike it rich by catering to the needs of the 50,000 expected pilgrims. Convinced that his idea is the best, Beto, a petty smuggler, uses up his family’s savings to build a pay toilet, where he hopes thousands of visitors will find relief. This deadpan slice of life is a touching, humorous, and poignant story of human dignity and solidarity.


 
Mi Mejor Enemigo (My Best Enemy) (2004). Directed by Alex Bowen. With Nicolás Saavedra, Erto Pantoja, Miguel Dedovich. In Spanish; English subtitles. 104 minutes.

El baño del Papa (The Pope’s Toilet) (2007). Directed by César Charlone and Enrique Fernández. With César Troncoso, Virginia Méndez, Mario Silva. In Spanish; English subtitles. 97 minutes.

 
The OLA Film Festival is sponsored by Film Movement, Venevision, Bridgehampton National Bank, Hampton Coffee Company, VOZ, and Laurel Lake Vineyards.
 
OLA is a non-for-profit organization serving the Latino Community of the East End through educational, social advocacy, and cultural awareness programs and forums.
 
The Museum's programs are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, at state agency.

Wounded Knee 2009 Sundance Film Festival
Stanley Nelson’s award winning documentary Wounded Knee records the 1973 armed
occupation of the Pine Ridge reservation led by the AIM (American Indian Movement).

Occupying the site of Wounded Knee they cut off access and took up defensive
positions. The film records the 71 day armed stand-off with the FBI. AIM sought a redress of broken treaties (the US broke every signed treaty) and the ouster of Dick Wilson, Pine Ridge’s corrupt tribal leader. Nelson’s film records the story from the inside, not the outside: AIM leaders Russell Means, John Trudell and Dennis Banks were the spokespersons for all their people trapped in poverty on reservations. The uprising received daily attention from themajor media. (USA, 2009, 74 min.).

Southampton to Preserve Native Burial Site in Water Mill


At Tuesday evening's Southampton Town Board meeting the Town Trustees  approved purchase of 9.3 water front acres in Water Mill for over  4 million dollars with money from the town's Community Preservation Fund.

The land bordered by Mecox Bay and Montauk Highway is a known site of a Native American fishing village and contains an ancient burial ground.  A 1000 year old human skull was unearthed at the site in 2006 during construction activities for a planned development.  

The Inter-Tribal Historic Preservation Task Force, comprised of members of Long Island and New England tribes, had campaigned for the purchase of this land from the owner Gregory Konner.

The right wing is not wrong. It is not the problem. We are the problem.
