Fri. Oct 10, 7:30 pm FOREVER WILD, A MULTI-MEDIA CELEBRATION OF WILDERNESS BY FOLKSINGER WALKIN' JIM STOLTZ: One of America's most unique folksingers and backcountry travelers, Walkin' Jim Stoltz, on tour from the mountains of Montana, will bring his powerful multi-media show, Forever Wild, to the Central United Methodist Church, 17 Nanticoke Ave, Endicott, NY .

Carrying a guitar and writing his songs along the way, his lyrics express a great love and respect for the Earth and the wild places he knows so well. Known for his powerful baritone and emotion-packed vocals, Stoltz's Forever Wild show is much more than a concert. It combines live music and poetry with stunning, multi-image slides to create a stirring elebration of the natural world. Stoltz has toured throughout the United States for 21 years. In this year's show he will be sharing images and songs from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, his Yellowstone to Yukon walk, the Utah Canyon Country, the Northern Rockies, and wiild places all across America. His books and 9 CDs will be available at the event.

| UPCOMING EVENTS Tuesday, Oct. 21 Pueblo Culture in New Mexico, Michael Crisafulli This talk will be about the pueblo culture in the southwest and what happened to it. It will center on an archaeology project in an isolated valley in New Mexico. The specific goal of the project was collecting data that showed the relationship between the inhabitants and their environment. The site was in a spring-fed but otherwise desert canyon where the limited water supply is still an important issue to the several residents. IMPORTANT: The open house at the Broome County Landfill for September 27 that we printed in our last newsletter was printed in error. This event will NOT be taking place. We sincerely apologize to the Broome County Division of Solid Waste Management and our readership for any inconvenience this may have caused. For more information about this and other upcoming events, see the Events section. |
Diligence and Caution Needed in Approach to Gas Drilling We have an obligation to make sure we don’t create another hazardous legacy like the toxic plume in Endicott. Before we rush in too quickly, we need to proceed with diligence and caution on all aspects of the environmental impacts of the drilling to ensure long-term social, economic and environmental health for our region. We applaud the Governor’s recent decisions in directing the Department of Environmental Conservation( DEC) to prepare a new Generic Environmental Impact Statement and it’s implied moratorium, addressing the state’s glaring deficiencies and preparedness for the massive scope of the anticipated drilling. There is still a lot of work to be done to protect the health and safety of our residents, safeguard the rights of our communities and get proper compensation for the intrusion of the gas companies and the extraction of our resources. read more about Marcellus Shale Gas Drilling... |
