By Dee Dee Halleck and Tamar Schumann
Info on the video:
The Bread and Puppet Theater has been a source of hope and vision
for people all over the world. Their performances have been in
theaters, on college campuses, in churches and parks, and above all
in the streets. Bread and Puppet has taught generations of activists
to construct large puppets, to paint iconographic banners and to
print mobilizing posters. Filmmakers Dee Dee Halleck, academy award
nominated media activist, and Tamar Schumann, daughter of B & P
founder Peter Schumann, have drawn from over two hundred hours of
video material. The film is an expression of the progressive vision
that Bread and Puppet represents. The film includes scenes from
performances, puppeteers building puppets and props, weeding the
garden, peeling the garlic and kneading the bread, strung together
with the unique B & P musical combination of marching band, rumba
and sacred harp singing. Neither a straight documentary nor
an "educational" rendition of theater history, AH! is more like a
Bread and Puppet movie than a film ABOUT Bread and Puppet. Bread and
Puppet has shown that we can create new worlds, starting with very
humble and accessible tools such as cardboard and cloth. Their
collective spirit and the magnitude of their vision makes their work
an important model for the future.

2003-08-09 | 10:00 AM | Four Centuries of Pueblo Pottery | Celebrate the opening of this spectacular exhibit of more than 100
of the Southwest Museum's nearly 4,000 historic and pre-contact
Pueblo ceramics. The Pueblos occupy nearly thirty villages in New
Mexico and Arizona, where they have preserved their ancient
traditions through centuries of contact with other cultures. They
are not one, but several groups, speaking six different languages,
and though cuturally similar, their traditions differ from one
village or cluster of villages to the next. The history of Pueblo
pottery is a story decline and revival. The popularity of Native
American art has kept the Pueblo pottery tradition alive and many
potters are recognized among the world's leading artists.

National Public Lands Day 2003 will focus on improving and
preserving this country's habitats - the forests, mountains,
praries, plains, rivers, wetlands, and urban streams that are home
to a rich diversity of animals, birds, and plants.
Thousands of the 70,000 volunteers who pitched in last year on
National Public Lands Day helped improve habitats. They built nests
for the endangered least tern in California...raked lands ravaged by
forest fires and planted seedlings in Colorado...removed invasive
algae damaging native corals in Hawaii. New challenges for
preserving habitats await this year's National Public Lands Day
volunteers.
National Public Lands Day volunteers are keeping the promise of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, the "tree army" that exemplified land
stewardship from 1933-1942, to preserve and protect America's
natural heritage
Civilian Conservation Corps Alumni President Bill Baily and Joe
DeCenzo pose with Miss USA, Shuantay Hinton
Last year, National Public Lands Day teamed up with its federal
agency partners for a premier event in Anacostia, Washington, D.C.
Several federal and local land management organizations teamed up
with several non-profit organizations at four locations on the
Anacostia River on National Public Lands Day.
National Public Lands Day is a unique public-private partnership
involving many federal, state, and local land agencies. These
agencies work closely with business partners such as Toyota, and
numerous non-profit organizations. The National Environmental
Education & Training Foundation manages, coordinates, and generates
financial support for the program.
Take Pride in America® partners with NEETF for National Public Lands
Day. Take Pride in America is partnering with the National
Environmental Education & Training Foundation to sponsor Take Pride
in America events on September 20, National Public Lands Day. This
year the volunteers will focus on restoring habitat on public lands,
providing homes for diverse species of plants and animals. Take
Pride is committed to promoting awareness about citizen stewardship
and increasing volunteer opportunities for the public. As part of
USA Freedom Corps, Take Pride is dedicated to fostering a culture of
service to others. For more information visit www.TakePride.gov and
remember....."It's your land, lend a hand."

2003-11-15 | 10:00 AM | Meeting on Big Box Retail | The Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) is considering a proposal to
sell "excess" real estate to a national commercial warehouse - such as
Home Depot or Costco. The "big box" facility will be located on West
Woodbury Road between Casitas and Canada.
You are cordially invited to attend the neighborhood meeting to learn
more about the proposal to build large-scale commercial buildings in the
neighborhood on:
Saturday - 15 November 2003
10a.m. to 12 noon
John Muir High School Auditorium

Pasadena
Why is this Alert on the events calendar for the Arroyo Seco website?
Recreational and open space south of the PUSD now available to area
residents and students and children will be lost if the big box
warehouse is built. The push for more soccer fields at Hahamongna is related to the loss of open space and recreational areas in our community.
