A Special Apartment Community

At Bridge Meadows.

Destination: Portland, Oregon. An apartment community, BRIDGE MEADOWS, in the northern section of the city. There are probably hundreds or thousands of apartment communities throughout the US. So, why this one?

This one stands out, for its intergenerational blend. It combines low-income elders, foster youth, and adoptive parents. They all live near each other, making a home that includes love, stability, and a vision of a better tomorrow. I used to work with foster children and I know that many of their young lives are marked by instability, wondering if those who took them in this time really love them, or they're just a source of income. That's different here. Not only can they have that important connection with their foster/adoptive parents, but the elders here provide additional support, education, and love, those things that children in this situation need to survive.



Of course, such a setting also gives the elders something, too. It's the ability to remain active, not just physically, but cognitively. It gives them a role in the development of the next generation, as grandparents to these children, who need so much. And it gives the parents a helping hand, the ability to get advice from a knowledgeable elder, and being able to take a break, some time for themselves, when they need it, because of the support around them. It's a brilliant idea!

Spreading the word at this year's Annual Bride Builders Luncheon.

Because this type of living has become so popular, there are plans under way to develop another, similar community. As has been noted, more parents are becoming interested in adopting, as there are more foster youth available to adopt. In order to provide the type of community that is needed, a campaign is underway to finance two additional communities. It is estimated that 18,496,000 is needed. So far, the campaign has raised $17, 816,250, so the goal is in sight.

Bridge Meadows-Beaverton will replicate the three-generation approach used so effectively at Bridge Meadows. New Meadows will be for a different type of housing, for youth who are aging out of the foster care system. Since these young people don't have the stability and support provided by their own family, this community will allow them access to the housing, stability, and life skills that they need for independent living.

The Towson Arts Collective In Action

Visitors in the exhibition gallery.

Here's an organization that provides a venue for emerging artists, while also providing arts education. Because of its location it can combine the knowledge and energy of its residents and students with working professionals. A nonprofit organization, TOWSON ARTS COLLECTIVE is located in the middle of an active suburban unincorporated community, not far from Towson University.

Tomorrow is the last of the We Are Orlando Exhibit and Silent Art Auction, held to benefit the victims of the Pulse tragedy. The artists, who are exhibiting, have united against hate and intolerance and are presenting works based on the LGBTQ themes of healing, unity, love, and acceptance. Eighty percent of the proceeds from the auction, which will be finalized at tomorrow's gala, will be donated to the One Orlando Fund, and the rest will be utilized for the upkeep of the gallery.



By the way, the Ellene "Brit" Christensen Arts Center, which can serve as a venue for exhibitions, was built, also, so artists with disabilities could have opportunities to show and sell their works alongside professional artists. Ellene "Brit" Christensen, for whom the Center was named, was a professional artist, whose passion was to restore quality of life and quality in life for those with disabilities. Even though she also had the challenge of dealing with disabilities, she remained quite optimistic about life. This is embodied in her words, "...And we who are born of the spirit, like the wind we are free..." By being commemorated in this center, Ellene has led the way for other young people to benefit from the opportunity to be recognized for their abilities, not their disabilities.

Next month, Towson Arts Collective will be presenting an I Voted Exhibition. The works on exhibit will attempt to answer the questions: What role do artists play in our American democracy? and How does art inform our choices? Curated by Edwin Remsberg, the exhibition is a timely one, able to look at the larger themes of voting, politics and involvement in the democratic process. The opening reception takes place on Oct. 6, with the exhibit running from that date until Oct. 28.

The Arts Collective attracts people of all ages and abilities.

Artist TOMMY ROBERTS is holding Draw & Paint classes on Thursdays and Fridays, 12 to 3 PM; other times by appointment. Participating artists can choose their own style and themes. Tommy Roberts, a local artist, discussed his works, "My goal is to convey my impressions of things I have experience through life. My interpretations of landscapes, portraits, and figures are inspired by the many people, and artists that I have met or read about. Learning from everyone helps me to become the best man and artist I can be. Creating art is a spiritual high that fills my show with joy."

Artist Tommy Roberts.

Giving Voice To Indigenous Youth

Out in the field in Nahuala, students are editing a production.

Technology abounds in today's world and it often becomes the vehicle for its users to tell their stories. Some groups have engaged in this activity more than others. There has been some reluctance among many Native American individuals to share their stories, even with the available technology.

When Donna DeGennaro was a student at the University of Pennsylvania, she was able to observe the power of technology in enhancing learning and enabling communication among the middle school students with whom she worked. Now that she is a seasoned college professor, she took that knowledge, plus her accumulated experience, and founded UNLOCKING SILENT HISTORIES (USH), an organization that is enhancing creative expression and communication skills among Native American and other indigenous youth.



Ms. DeGennaro explained, "Many indigenous communities have been taught to keep their histories silent and therefore have been reluctant to express themselves for fear of criticism. Furthermore, in today's technological world, the voice of indigenous [peoples] continues to be absent from the escalating digital landscape."

Just this month, Unlocking Silent Histories was invited by the Smithsonian to be part of Maya Creativity and Cultural Milieu. There were actually two events, both under the sponsorship of the Museum of the American Indian. The event on Sept. 10 and 11 was held in New York City, while the one on Sept. 16, 17, and 18 was held in Washington, DC. Under USH, Maya Guatemalan Filmmakers presented youth-produced films from nine indigenous communities.

FIGHTING WOMEN, filmed by 18-year-old Jose Maria "Chema" Perez Vasquez, examined the lives of women living in San Juan la Laguna, including the type of work in which they engage. There are also themes of gender equality and messages of empowerment directly from the women of the area. LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS was directed by Franklin Cholotio, with a team of other youths filling the other roles. The film is about a young man, Manuel Yojcom Mendoza, who lives a successful life in San Juan la Laguna, despite his physical challenges. ALCOHOLISM was filmed by 12-year-old Emilio Tzoc Portillo. The film looks at the issue of alcoholism in one indigenous community and how it influences and impacts the family and the alcoholic person. It also takes on the issue of why this needs to be addressed.

Those who participated in making the films had the opportunity to talk about filming their pieces. Carmen Tzoc Portillo, who had participated in the creation of Life Without Limits, discussed being inspired when viewing When The Mountains Tremble, which presented stories about the civil war in Guatemala by a non-resident filmmaker. She felt inspired to become a filmmaker of her own community's stories. Carlos, who came from Solola, near Lake Atitlan, wanted to become a professional filmmaker, so he could help his people change their view of their indigenous heritage and see it as a source of pride.

Some of the youthful filmmakers at the Smithsonian.

A number of the videos that were presented were filmed in their native, indigenous language, rather than the dominant tongue. That becomes, also, another way for these youth to help in preserving their native language, rather than seeing it die out from lack of use. It is also a great service that the Smithsonian provided in presenting a venue for the works of these wonderful youth to be seen by a wider public.

A Man Of Faith, Without Religion

About ten years ago, TIMBER HAWKEYE left the corporate world behind and moved to Hawaii. Now, he wasn't going there to live an isolated life. He kept in contact with his family and friends through thoughtful email messages.

About eight years later, one of Timber's friends, Kim, suggested that he publish a book containing his email messages, since she had found them inspirational. She had thought that others would find the messages equally appealing. And, so, a book from a blog was born, Buddhist Boot Camp. The chapters are easy to read and only about two pages long, which is just the right length for thinking over after reading.



Not only were those who read Buddhist Boot Camp inspired, but they were also motivated. The motivation was to live a simple and uncomplicated life, being deeply in the moment, mindful. Timber had also written a second book, Faithfully Religionless, which was written in a conversational style, like a memoir, and deeply personal.

Through stories and quotes, both books offer mindfulness-enhancing techniques that reinforce the idea of simple, uncomplicated living. It's a lifestyle that is frequently forgotten in this fast-paced and technologically-enhanced world.

It turns out that Timber Hawkeye is a man of faith, but without a specific institutional religion. He doesn't believe in a God that dispenses rewards for good behavior and harsh criticism for bad behaviors. That's something that goes along more with an institutional religion. His faith is more the letting go of uncertainty that comes with ego, with its accompanying obsessive need to know. His faith lacks the ritual and ceremony, writs and dogmas, along with rigid adherence to laws made by a church body. He envisions faith as more positive and loving.

Timber (right) with his friend, Kim.

Timber has looked toward Buddhism, which does not envision a specific creator, has less of a structured religion, and enhances the faith that is already there. It's not a religion itself, but a way of gaining clearer perspective, just through human effort. Buddha, who was a man, can still provide teaching and motivation for those of various faith traditions, too.

The Dalai Lama has said, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are." And Timber's books provide some of the material to consider when you contemplate Buddha's teachings. There are also other materials on Timber's website that can enhance your own moments of meditation, opening your mind to the simple, uncomplicated life.

Puppet Theater On The Prairie

Michael J. Vetere III and Samantha Anne Maggio, founders of Suspended Belief Theatre.

The magic of theater and puppetry for children, the art of puppetry and creative dramatics, the power of dramatic storytelling, the conveyance of life skills to children through drama, it all happens courtesy of SUSPENDED BELIEF THEATRE. Founded in 2013 by Samantha Anne Maggio, who apprenticed under Steven Overton of Olde World Puppet Theatre, and Michael J. Vetere III, who adds teaching into his mix of talents with puppets, this organization is based in Bloomington, Illinois.

The very first production of this fledgling group was Out on Our Own...The Story of the Three Little Pigs: A Puppet Show, which challenged that familiar fairy tale with the lessons of hard work, dedication, and commitment to learning. Samantha said, "We value these traits as components of a foundation of community, social awareness, and actively compassionate citizenship."



Recently, Suspended Belief Theatre appeared at SUGAR GROVE NATURE CENTER in Funk's Grove. The day was Sunday, Sept. 11, cooperative weather, with blue skies and low humidity. Families rushed to enjoy the day hiking, bird watching, and playing in the Nature Center's Imagination Grove.

But the biggest attraction happened to be Pigs On The Prairie, an immersive experience by Suspended Belief Theatre that combined ecology and art. Upon entry to the area, visitors received a map of the grounds and urged to collect the stamps available at each center when they completed the activity. At the Snout, Masks, and Muzzles table, guests could choose whether to be one of the three pigs or the big, bad wolf. When they reached the corn crib, they had the chance to pose with one of the two pigs stationed there. Then on to the outdoor stage where there were three child-sized houses. Two small houses were made of straw and sticks, respectively, and a bigger one made with bricks. Here you had to use some imagination because all were really made with cardboard. Kids could play in each one. Then on to another station, where guests put on hardhats and made their own miniature pigs' houses. Then they got to test them with natural disasters, such as tornadoes. A blow dryer provided the wind.

The three pigs' houses, all lined up.

Then came the main event on the puppet stage, Out on Our Own...The Story of the Three Little Pigs: A Puppet Show, their original debut production. But at the end, the big, bad wolf didn't get cooked in a pot of boiling water. Instead, the three pigs and the big bad wolf went into business together, opening a restaurant that featured their vegetable stew recipe, which made up the dinner in the brick house, to the smiles and cheers of children and their parents.

In such types of presentations, Suspended Belief Theatre has become an important part of the community's entertainment for children. For more of their activities, you can visit their link above.

A Dedication And A Play At McDaniel College

Some McDaniel students relaxing on campus.

MCDANIEL COLLEGE, located in Westminster, MD, is a college of distinction particularly notable for its liberal arts undergraduate education, Half of its degrees yearly are awarded in the arts and sciences. Because of the caliber of its education, it is frequently recognized and has received various awards from national publications.

On Sept. 17, Kenneth R. Gill Stadium, part of McDaniel received a new electronic scoreboard, courtesy of the Marks family. Mike J. Marks was a cum laude graduate of the College with a bachelor's degree in Political Science and International Studies in May 2013. Only one month later, he was involved in an auto accident, in which he lost his life. During his undergraduate years, Mike had been a starter for four years on the men's lacrosse team, being designated as team captain in his junior and senior years.

Mike's parents, teammates, and friends all participated in this special dedication during halftime of the football team's opening game. Mother, Barbara Marks was wearing the practice jersey that he had designed for team practices and she spoke about how much her son liked this College and his feeling that it was the perfect fit for him. She said, "He grew and flourished and fell in love here. Mike lit up every room he walked into. He lit up the classroom, the campus, the athletic field, and the locker room. And so it is fitting that the scoreboard for Mike will light up the field and campus."

College President Roger N. Casey also remembered Mike, "Mike exemplified what it means to 'be McDaniel' and we are here to honor his life as we continue to mourn the untimely death of a young man who had a promising future." Besides the new scoreboard, the field was also sporting new turf, already in place for the planned reconstruction of the track and field area.

On Oct. 5 to Oct. 8, McDaniel College Theatre Arts students are performing in the abstract comedy, Dead Man's Cell Phone at Alumni Hall on the college campus. The play was written by Sarah Ruhl, a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist. This play looks at the the way we memorialize the dead through the story of a woman, who confronts her assumptions about morality and redemption in a world obsessed with technology. Tad Jones, who is artistic director of the Maryland Ensemble Theater in Frederick, joins the students as guest director.

The Marks family, friends and teammates dedicate the new scoreboard in memory of Mike J. Marks.

Mr. Jones discussed the writer and the play, "Sarah Ruhl is truly one of America's hottest playwrights. Her work is usually funny, poetic, and deeply human. Dead Man's Cell Phone certainly fits this mold." He continued, "The play takes the ordinary person, Jean, and thrusts her into extraordinary and unusual circumstances. The play has comedy, drama, mystery, love, and an 'other world' quality at times. It deals with big issues and family issues. Personally, I love plays where, when you leave as an audience, you think 'wow, there was a lot in that!' and then you have to talk about the play for the next hour with your friends. Dead Man's Cell Phone is fun, and, has a lot to talk about."

Standing Rock Peoples Standing Strong For Tribal Law

Many groups are standing strong in unity with the Standing Rock peoples.

Those with some amount of savvy may have dug around and noticed the story of the Standing Rock Sioux peoples standing firm against allowing an oil company to construct the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Under federal law, agencies and executive departments must engage in consultation with tribal nations when policies or projects would impact their communities, as in the case of DAPL.

Rebecca Tsosie, a federal Native American law and human rights expert at the University of Arizona, explained, "The issue is: Do we actually implement these laws in a way that protects, for native people, the core interests and needs and aspirations that native people have going forward, or are those laws just in place to serve as a sort of procedural mechanism? If we find that our laws really aren't sufficient to meet the needs of native peoples, are we viewing that as a legal problem or is that a continuing political problem?"



So, who are the STANDING ROCK SIOUX people? The people who are living in the Standing Rock area are called Sioux; they are also part of the Dakota and Lakota nations. Both "Dakota" and "Lakota" mean "friends" or "allies". Like many Native American tribal peoples, those who live on Standing Rock Reservation have their own government and representatives. The tribal government has jurisdiction over all reservation lands, including waterways, streams, all rights-of-way and any other lands that may be added to reservation lands.

Generally, social activities, like powwows, rodeos, and races, occur during the summer. Special powwows can be held for individuals who have reached certain notable life stages, such as graduation or enlistment in the armed forces. and feasts are often held to celebrate accomplishments. Oral tradition is still handed down from elders to youth.

A few days ago, the Democrats Forum of the House Committee on Natural Resources announced that they would be meeting today. It was to be about Taking A Stand: Protecting Water and Native American Sacred and Cultural Resources at Standing Rock. Discussion would include Federal trust responsibility to Native American tribes, tribal sovereignty, and treaty obligations: the moral and legal obligation to protect tribal sacred sites and Native American culture; and continued access to safe drinking water for those who live on Standing Rock Reservation and maintaining environmental justice.

It's about Native Americans and their right to be consulted.

Many individuals and groups have joined in solidarity with the peoples of Standing Rock Reservation. Many want to see that these tribal peoples are treated fairly, the laws and treaties of our land are honored, and no corporate entity is allowed to prevail without the necessary consultation and agreement with tribal leaders. We don't want to see corporate rule in this country. We want to see people honored and respected. That's what has to prevail here, too.

Even children are standing up and being counted - Support Standing Rock.

Activism And Performance Combine To Spread An Important Social Justice Message

One of the productions from Peacock Rebellion.

What is this? A rebellion? Well, in a way, it is, but it's also not. This all-volunteer organization is the PEACOCK REBELLION, located in the San Francisco Bay area. It started out when a group of activists from the queer and trans people of color community got together, when they were beginning to burn out from their social activist involvements. Devi K, who was among this group and one of the original founders, participated in the discussions, which culminated in the founding of Peacock Rebellion.

Among the discoveries during the initial discussions was noticing that they could more easily reach people through stagecraft, rather than through demonstrations. After recruiting talented individuals from among their friends and fellow activists, they were able to put together their first cabaret show, Agen(c)y: Nonprofit Dreams + Disasters in 2012. They haven't looked back since.



Within Peacock Rebellion are several different programs. The Peacock Institute For Social Transformation provides training for social activists and community organizers. There are two training modes. Brouhaha: Trans Women of Color Comedy Storytelling provides a comedic storytelling workshop series, which puts trans women front and center with the microphone. Brouhaha: QTPOC Stand-Up Comedy is a series of workshops for stand-up comedy and a show, designed to build a group of comedy-activists, who can spread the social justice message in an entertaining way to people who aren't really ready for the rally or march venue.

Peacock Productions produces and provides live shows in entertainment venues. There are severaldifferent types of performance productions available. Agen(c)y: Nonprofit Dreams + Disasters, which is similar to the first cabaret in 2012, on the theme of dreaming after nonprofit control, combined with comedic takes on activist burnout. Brouhaha: Trans Women of Color Storytelling and Brouhaha: QTPOC Stand-Up Comedy provide performances by graduates of the training program. Tenderfest: A Queer People of Color Community Love Extravaganza is another cabaret show, along with healers' fair, which works in the space between the call-out and call-in cultures.

Some of the other programs include Peacock Games, which is in the planning stages, to provide online games as a means to heal trauma and provide collective liberation: Peacock Online Media, also in the planning stages, to provide an online webcast series, The Sock World, about activist sock puppets, who live in a Berkeley co-op; and Bay Area QTPOC Arts Alliance, which provides a protective and confidential space for QTPOC arts producers to share tips, advice, and support to run their programs and groups better.

As you can see, there are a wide variety of opportunities for those in the QTPOC to get together and spread their message in an entertaining and fun-filled way. Look out for them and their productions in the SF Bay area. You could come away enlightened - and that's a good thing.

Neighborhood Arts Community

Bihl Haus Arts home, with pool in front.

It's an arts organization with an interesting name, BIHL HAUS ARTS, located on what was considered a route out of San Antonio, but now an important part of an expanded city. The interesting name comes from the original owner and builder, George David Bihl. After the building had become rundown when it was left vacant, it was given new life when senior apartments were built nearby and the community came together to restore the structure. Since 2005, the organization has presented diverse and critically acclaimed cultural programming.

From Aug. 27 to Sept. 24, Bihl Haus Arts is presenting an exhibition of the works of JD Morera, entitled "Infinite Realm of Abstraction". The opening reception took place by the pool, right outside of the building, with music by Antonio Martinez and Friends. Spanish-style tapas and sangria sated the crowd's hunger.



JD Morera's art presents the essence of landscape through pictorial elements. Through careful brush strokes, he lays vivid color next to vivid color, and often uses accent strokes of deep blacks and browns, creating the illusion of rising from the void. Yet, landscape and cityscape are central to the works.

JD discussed the process of creating art as "one of the most elevated functions of the human brain. The dominant factor in creativity is imagination. Throughout years of maturing my art this factor has become a portal through which to create paintings that are neither premeditated or contrived. My art is brain activity using color to decipher the enigma codes of the imagination. My artistic intent is to reveal the infinite realm of abstraction. My art contains form without structure, color without definition in the visual spectrum, line without the rigidity of contour. Intuition-based painting executed alla prima is the base format through which I create art. My paintings generate pareidolia, the phenomenon of perceiving faces and figures in clouds, landforms and abstract paintings.

On Oct. 13, Bihl House Arts is presenting "Roaring 20s Themed Fundraising Gala", themed as "The Great Gatsby Meets Great Big Texas". In addition, right before the gala, there is the opening reception for a new art installation by artist Laurel Gibson entitled "Embroidering The Old Spanish Trail". Guests are encouraged to dress in their fine flapper dresses, gangster suits, tuxedos, and other 1920s garb.

A variety of people participate in Bihl Haus Arts programs.

The Gala's theme ties in nicely with the construction in the 1920's of the Old Spanish Trail, or Transcontinental Highway, that was centered in San Antonio and stretches from Florida to California, as represented in the exhibition.

Music will be provided by Texas Gypsies, who perform original and classic music influenced by jazz and swing of the 1920s. Attendees can also take some dance lessons from professional dancers right at the scene.

Executive Director Kellen McIntyre explains the importance of this event, "Financial support from the community that we receive from our annual gala allows Bihl Haus Arts to continue to offer arts programs for seniors, present wonderful exhibitions year-round and support local artists."

In addition, Ms. McIntyre discussed the opening exhibition, "Laurel Gibson's elegant hand-embroidered and drawn depictions on 1920s player piano rolls presents the music and multi-ethnic cultures within Southern neighborhoods connected by the 1920s transcontinental highway called the Old Spanish Trail."
