ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Ellen: Grandson’s signing, taking steps. Bought Jill Bolte Taylor’s book My Stroke of Insight. Terrific!
Bob: brought article from Wall St. Journal on Ralph Nader; he thinks Obama is in bed with corporations.
Mr G. George Lakoff on Diane Rehm show. He said contrary to Taylor’s thesis, thinking and feeling are intertwined. I have been suspicious of the left brain and right brain theory.
Steve We really don’t know the correspondence between brain areas and functions.
...
Mr. G: in NY Times, article today, stuff in red wine that enhances tissue maintenance and longevity, Revestrol (?). (see www.fightaging.org/archives/000214.php - 51k -
Rob: Pow Wow at Ft. Ancient Sat. and Sun. The grand entry is at 2 pm.
Mary: Article about Barrett’s esophagus, gastric reflux. Pre-cancerous condition. There is a new therapy. In Wall St. Journal.
Steve families of people who have colon cancer have lower rates than normal .
Derek I have a lot of produce for sale. Will take orders for produce: lettuce, Indian Mustard, radishes, kale, chard, beets, herbs. I could send out an email; people could pick it up at the Salon.
Spencer Nativity church farmer’s market, Tuesdays. Northside on Wednesdays.
Derek At Findlay Mkt. it is over 750 per year to have a stall. A triple increase.
(news of Barrie?) Doing well in KY. Building a house.
Judy Has anyone else read Empire of Debt. Came out 2007. How we are going down the tubes. Humorous writing. “Most people would rather have a better mortgage rate than a better carbon footprint.”
Steve
Final Salute By Jim Sheeler about a marine Colonel who buries the soldiers returning from Iraq, Afghanistan, who go to Colorado, ... Best peace book I have read.
Rob as good as “Johnny got his gun”?
Steve yes. This marine insisting the families and the fallen soldiers be treated with respect. The most openly anti war book...
Judy this book about empire; we are not a Democracy any more, we are an empire. Made me think about looking around for a new country. Debt to China...
Rob I just read a comparison between us and the Roman empire. We are on the verge of that...
Judy we are more than on the verge. We are there. Troops all over the world...
Rob: a new book “Political mind”
Steve: I never thought in my lifetime I would see USSR fall, or blacks treated with dignity in S Africa, miracle of the Civil Rights laws... And now we have had a tremendous fight between a woman and a black man. This is a historic moment. This guy has won it. The question now is Will the Dems. Work hard for his election, or not?
Mr. G I was at an Obama rally downtown yesterday; the crowd were young. Lots of blacks. For many he is a rock star, and I don’t like that. But he is the man.
Judy the Republicans will try to Swift boat Obama.
Dirty tricks?
Steve I expect McCain will do anything to win. ... This has been such a long process. I read Dreams of my father.
Ellen: Can we trust him to be a people’s man?
Spencer: How could he not be great? First black senator form Illinois.
Mr. G. his speech last night was terrific.
Steve: (in his speech last night) he thanked his grandmother who raised him. Thanked Hillary Clinton for teaching him how to be a great candidate, and for her work in health care. She is A leader of the Democratic party. Third part: an assault on McCain who had attacked him earlier. Said McCain represented Bush and the old order; he reps. The new. The fourth part: he would not use religion or fear to divide people.
Derek I am so disturbed by how much the current administration raises religion...
Steve: people are frightened. Religion is our comfort.
Rob Geo. Lakoff in the political mind said Obama’s strategy is to convert the people to his way of doing things. We all have the same goals. Hillary was doing “let’s compromise and go towards the middle”.
Steve Vanity Fair article on Clinton saying Bill is still philandering. Bill called the author a scumbag. Very strong language.
Rob I also heard Hillary hint that she could be a VP nominee.
Mr. G it may be that it would be a good way to keep the Hillary supporters... Others think it would alienate more than it would win over.
Jonathan and Heather: benefit for Marie Mason on Thursday. Derek Jenson will speak. On the Green Scare. (environmental activists seen as terrorists.) It will be web broadcast. She is a Northside resident who did two arsons in Michigan nine years ago with ELF, Earth Liberation Front. Another benefit this Saturday.
Steve Obama was born the year of the Selma march! Knocks me out. Had no experience directly of the civil rights movement at all. ... Lennie Bruce movie “Lennie”... Sad. The actor looked just like Lenny. When I was in my twenties it was so shocking, him using the F word. Is an old movie.
Jonathan: We rented it From Bughouse Video, an independent movie rental in Northside.

From The Sierra Club: Save on Gas AND protect the planet: Great Tips
Dear Ellen,
(... This summer) more Americans than ever are planning to getaway by car. (1) But that doesn't have to cost as much as you think.
There are lots of ways to save gas (checked your tires lately?) but the easiest and most effective way is to slow down (just a little bit). When you add up the savings, it's like getting paid to relax. (I started slowing down and saved 4 mpg! Ellen)
So before you get behind the wheel for the upcoming holiday, show us what you're made of. Pledge to Drive 55 (or whatever the speed limit is on the roads you're traveling) for Memorial Day Weekend. Poor Sammy Hagar can't do it, but we bet you can. After all, even jets are slowing down to save money! (2)
The Union of Concerned Scientists tells us that dropping from 70 to 60 mph improves fuel efficiency by an average of 17.2 percent. Dropping from 75 to 55 improves fuel efficiency by 30.6 percent!(3)
Put another way, in a family sedan, every 10 mph you drive over 60 is like paying 54 cents per gallon more for gas you bought at $3.25 a gallon. (4) That extra cost is even higher for big SUVs and other less-efficient vehicles.
And the time you save by going easy on the accelerator may not add up to as much as you thought. On a 300-mile trip, driving 65 instead of 70 mph would cost you only 20 minutes -- but save money and spew less carbon.
JOIN LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS ... Genuine good guys.
Dear Ellen,
Jim Crow is back.
The sinister spirit of hateful Jim Crow laws, established in the previous century to keep African Americans in the South from voting, is resurfacing across the country. A new generation of partisan special interests is working to disenfranchise people they view as a threat to their political power in the 2008 elections.
That is why I am writing to you with great urgency and asking you to help us fight back against this assault on our democracy by joining the League of Women Voters with a gift of $25, $35, $55 or more today. https://lwv.simpledonate.org/appeal.aspx?PID=&CID=EC0038&FNAME=Ellen&SOURCE=EN0810V&HPC=25&f=1
It is critical for the League – as the number one advocate for your voting rights – to take immediate action to ensure the integrity of your vote and the 2008 elections.
So I’m reaching out to citizens like you all across the country because at this very moment, some politicians are engaged in an orchestrated, election year effort to cut many Americans out of the democratic process. In Congress, state legislatures, and at the local level, the powers that be are attempting to pass discriminatory laws that require voters to show photo identification at the polls. And now the U.S. Supreme Court has joined in these efforts, with its recent decision to uphold Indiana’s blatantly discriminatory voter ID law.
Heralded by its supporters as a much-needed defense against voter fraud, the photo ID requirement is the 21st century version of Jim Crow.
With the 2008 elections looming, only the League has the independence, credibility, and grassroots strength to take on the entrenched political interests that are trying to hijack the election process for their own partisan ends.
Our opponents will only succeed if people of principle like you and me sit on the sidelines and let them win. It’s time to put Jim Crow back where he belongs – in the history books. Please help the League get the job done by becoming part of the League of Women Voters today.
Sincerely,
Mary G. Wilson
President, LWVUS
Cincinnati's Integral Salon
(Now in its fifth year as the Cinci /Dayton/... Wilber Meetup)
Meeting on the first & third Wednesdays of every month
from 7-9 p.m. at Jewish Family Service
11223 Cornell Park Drive Blue Ash, OH 45242
(open to the public - free of charge)
"The awakening of our species and our search for solutions is occurring, but it's scattered, and it's certainly not in dominion anywhere. The larger social structures are proving to be inadequate to solve the problems they're creating. New social innovations are emerging everywhere, but they are not sufficiently connected or empowered. So right now, any effort that we can make to connect and create greater synergy and participation in this awakening process is probably the most important thing we can do."
--- Barbara Marx Hubbard
Cincinnati's Integral Salon is the theoretical epicenter of a diverse and expanding community of individuals who embrace and practice an inclusive or "integral" philosophy of life. Members of this emerging community are united by their curiosity, interest, or active engagement in the evolution of consciousness and culture -- both globally and locally.
Next meeting's topic for June 4, 2008
"It's not easy being Green"
Kate Johnson and Mark Essex will lead a discussion on the story of the "Green Meme." Using the Spiral Dynamics model of evolution, the Green Meme is the highest level that exists in the "first tier" of human development. (See http://www.formlessmountain.com/collage.html <http://www.formlessmountain.com/collage.html> )
The Green Meme has brought us the fullest expression so far of universal morals and ethics: the abolition of slavery, civil rights, environmentalism, feminism, humanitarianism, etc; yet it still demonstrates its "first tierness" by denying the value of the previous memes and subtly asserting the superiority of its own views.
An exploration of this stage of development promises to be enlightening. For more information, call (513) 490-6477 or visit: http://www.mamash.org/pages/content/meditations.html <http://www.mamash.org/pages/content/meditations.html>
This Fri, Sat, June 6th & 7th Choreographers Festival at the Aronoff Center Growth In Motion Director, Fanchon Shur and Karen Wissel (co- choreographers) will be performing Primordial Round, an original dance work. Primordial Round is a kinesthetic and instrumental fusion of extreme passion. The spiraling vine meets the breaking branch. Kol Nidrei, as arranged by Bonia Shur for solo viola,the ancient melody sung on the Day of Atonement is filled with tensions and releases mirroring our encounter with our destiny.

WULSIN AHEAD IN CONGRESSIONAL RACE FOR OH-2 AGAINST SCHMIDT!
New Poll - Schmidt Loses 52-42!
Dear Ellen,
We just received a new poll conducted by James Carville and Stan Greenberg that has some exciting news for us.
Carville and Greenberg surveyed 45 competitive congressional races across the country to ask voters if they support their Republican Representative or a Democratic challenger. Nationally, the results for Democrats are promising, but for our race the results are even better.
Our race is one of only three exurban districts that Carville and Greenberg consider prime opportunities for a Democratic pick-up in November. In our district, voters were asked if they would vote for Jean Schmidt or a the Democratic challenger - and they overwhelming favored us.
In top tier exurban districts, the job approval rating for incumbents like Jean Schmidt is a measly 24%. Carville and Greenberg found that George Bush's approval rating across the races they surveyed was 33%, or 9 points higher than Jean Schmidt.
...
Please consider making an on-line donation of $100, $250 or $500 right now.
Thanks,
Kevin Franck

Taking Torture to TASSC
Following UN Torture Abolition Day there will be a 24 hour vigil sponsored by Torture Abolition Survivor Support Coalition opposite the White House, on Saturday June 28 to Sunday, June 29; Washington, D.C.
As our nation struggles with the realization of our complicity in the use of torture for political purposes, sisters of the Ursuline Society are inviting friends and concerned citizens to join us in peaceful public protest.
Inspired by the experience of Ursuline Sister Dianna Ortiz, who founded a Center for receiving other torture survivors, we choose to witness to the injustice of these practices, to state our moral outrage, and to demand a change of national policy.
Sister Dianna, founder of TASSC, in her book, The Blindfold's Eye, recounts her experience of torture as well as her effort to work with the US government in identifying the details of her case.
Google TASSC for information on this ministry.
Contact Sr. Pat Brockman for details on this venture at 513.541.4559,or pcbrockman@gmail.com.

- THE WALL
While the rain fell all spring
in sheets against the hills,
she yearned for a dining room
by dividing the kitchen in two.
“When are you going to build my wall?”
“Soon,” we kept promising.
“Soon,” we said one Saturday morning
when the sun came out.
My father shaved on the back porch,
smiling at his face in the mirror,
then disappeared into a line of trees;
I slipped behind the lilac bushes,
off to find other children
by the swollen creek.
She stood in the kitchen,
her back to the garden,
strawberry plants floating in pools;
she was red in the face,
eyes the color of nailheads.
When we returned, wanting supper,
we found a note at the back door:
“Fix your own food.”
And in the kitchen a wall:
she had taken lumber and paper,
patterned with wild strawberries,
and thrown up a wall
with no door.
We had to walk through the whole house
to find the room she’d made.
Frank D. Moore
Hi All:
Frank D. Moore was born May 17, 1936, in Traveller's Rest, a tiny town 50 miles east of Berea in Owsley County, Kentucly, which he left when he was 16. He received a BA in English from the University of Cincinnati in 1964 and an MA in 1967, and later taught at Kent State -Tuscarawas, and the Community College of Philadelphia, where he was chair of the English Department. His chapbook The Traveller's Rest Poems was published in 1995. In 1996 he moved to New Mexico with Gene Sheeley. He died in Santa Fe July 5, 2005 at the age of 69.
Before Frank died, he asked Carol Rainey to be his literary executor. She agreed and Night Singer, Frank Moore's first book-length collection of poetry, is a result of Carol's work; The Wall is included in this first book.
I first met Carol Rainey when she was the curator of the Elliston Poetry Room in the old Langsam Library. I was one of many hangers-on in the little living room with all the bookshelves. That was the early 70's. Since then Carol has been teaching at U.C. and X.U. and writing.
I was invited by Carol this past spring to a celebration of the publication of Night Singer and there I heard some of the poems for the first time and liked them a lot and so, our selection for June. And Carol has agreed also to be with us June 11th to tell us about Frank and his writing.
Carol grew up in Linwood, a tiny out-of-the-way neighborhood under the western end of the Beechmont Levy here in Cincinnati. She received a doctorate from U.C. in English. Carol has written a collection of personal essays (A Fine Morning: Stories of a Cincinnati Childhood) and also a collection of essays about the state of our affairs nuclear (One Hundred Miles from Home: Nuclear Contamination in the Communities of the Ohio River Valley. Preface by Wendell Berry).
I hope you will save Wednesday, June 11th, to look deeply into this poem about relationship. Valerie
