NEWSLETTER THEME
OUR SUMMER 2012 THEME - "What cause(s) that John supported has/have had an influence on you?"

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.”

~ George Gordon, Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

 

 

POETRY

"The Gift"
(by Carole Romanowski - whispjesse@aol.com)


Gifts are not always adorned
With wrapping paper, bows.
Some gifts arrive through charity
To ease the plight of other's woes.

But in these uncertain times
I sometimes find myself at sea.
How does one gift others
In our uncertain economy?

But then I recall John's wisdom
"..."you don't have to do it all"
"...you do a little, someone else does a little..."
To fill the gap in the short fall!

Now gifting through group effort
And having raised your emotional bar,
You'll learn with satisfaction
"...the gift YOU are!"

"Come and Let Me Look in Your Eyes"
(by Carole Romanowski - whispjesse@aol.com)


It is said "the eyes are the windows of the soul".
Now if you and I believe this is true
Please allow me to gaze into your eyes
So I can glance at the essence of you.

Should I find wisdom and brotherhood there
I dare say you have heard John sing.
And I believe one knows another through John
For his "soul is a free-flying thing."

In our world today where beliefs are for sale
And our future allotment seems lame
Should I feel a connection to you through John
Then I trust we are likely the same.

Yet how do I know this when we've barely met?
Through the oneness John strived to impart.
Now "come and let me look in your eyes"
So I can catch a glimpse into John's heart.

"WHAT CAUSE(S) THAT JOHN SUPPORTED HAS/HAVE HAD AN INFLUENCE ON YOU?"


John Denver’s Influence on My Life!
(submitted by Carole  Romanowski - whispjesse@aol.com)
 
John Denver has had a tremendous influence on my life the last 14 years, mostly in fostering awareness of  the poor and of the environment.

John’s favorite charity was UNICEF, so I’ve donated to it since  John’s tragic passing. So little money goes so far in poor countries to, for example, provide mosquito netting to protect children at night from contracting malaria. I’ve also donated funds for fresh milk shipped through pipelines for these children. 

John also believed in saving wildlife so I’ve donated to the National Wildlife Federation in the U.S. and to the World Wildlife Federation to protect the animal species – i.e. tigers in Asia. The WWF also works with conservation partners worldwide to promote and expand fisheries and forestry for the environment.

Locally I’m involved with PETA, the HSUS, and through the NWF, I contribute to stop puppy mills as one of their goals.

All it takes is awareness!  Thank you, John!

The actions I have taken since John's passing 15 years ago include buying a ecological friendly car, a Toyota Prius, dealing with children's issues in my church and school and finishing two volumes of a book on John Denver. I have been working on the book for 31 years, and I just got Volume Two in the Kindle store this year.

What causes? So many. I can't walk by a piece of trash and leave it on the ground without hearing John's voice telling me “if not me, then who?” I recycle as much as I can. I teach my kids to appreciate the earth and the precious gifts it gives to us. Along with Marcelle and Theresa, I helped get IAT off the ground so we can all share our thoughts via avenues like this. I learned to create my first website for IAT and found a new career.

John laid a foundation for us before he left of what to be aware of and what to support. We still hear his music in our daily lives and his influence is still all around us and it makes a better life for us.

John Denver Stamp Issuance Info
(submitted by Carole  Romanowski - whispjesse@aol.com)
 
The following is an answer to anyone who participated in or just wondered about what ever happened to the issuance of a commemorative postage stamp for John Denver.  It’s still in progress and, I’ve learned, a quite lengthy process, but still worthwhile.
 
In November of 2006 I sent a letter to the Citizen’s Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC), 1735 N. Lynn St., Ste 3013, Arlington, Va. 22209-6432.  I suggested a commemorative stamp for John Denver. They replied in Dec. 2006 John is under consideration for the stamp. I also did a second “push” a few years later.
 
I sent boxes, folders and cartons of information on John, including CD’s, concert footage,etc. relevant dates, i.e. when certain songs were written, Citizens in Space program,etc. and other special events in John’s life including birth and death date.
 
The CSA only meets 4 times a year to consider and review new stamp issues. The Postmaster General approves 25 suggestions out of approximately 5,000 sent per year. So only 25 new issue stamps are processed per year.
 
Proponents are not advised if a subject is selected for a stamp. Instead, subjects are announced to the public two months – in the Fall of the preceding year of issuance -  before the beginning of the year when the stamp will be issued. I also check every December on the internet website to be apprised of new stamp issues. One site is http://about.usps.com/news/welcome.htm
 
Further, it takes 2 years to design and color the stamp. Development usually begins 2-3 years in advance of issuance.
 
Commemorative stamps honoring an individual are issued with significant anniversary or birthday dates, but not sooner than 5-10 years after the individual’s death. The only exception is US Presidents.
 
Recently I learned since people are using less first class stamps, subjects for stamps may be part of a block of stamps. So John may be in a block under “Music.”
 
I have spoken with a representative from the Stamp Advisory Committee many, many times, and basically I’ll know when the JD stamp comes out when everyone else does! I am not privy to this beforehand. The Stamp Committee obviously reserves the right to make the sole and initial announcement of stamp issuances enmasse.
 
However, if there’s any slim chance I can get any information at all on the progress of this project, I will certainly apprise everyone ASAP. Otherwise, we patiently wait.
 
Finally, when this much deserved honor for John Denver comes to fruition, the entire credit belongs, in my opinion, to all those who loved and honored John Denver and his music and message during his lifetime and also those who responded and participated in the stamp letter’s issuance with the Stamp Committee, and of course also to John Denver because of who he was and what he stood for!

Event Stresses Awareness of a Healthy Hudson River!
(submitted by Carole  Romanowski - whispjesse@aol.com)

According to an article in my Journal Newspaper, young families took their children to the Beczak Environmental Education Center in Yonkers, NY on July 14 of this year to participate in the City of Water Day Festival. These families were able to get up close and personal with life in the Hudson River.

“It’s really great to get the youth out, and hands on, and into the river”, one Beczak educator said. “The events are to promote awareness of the need for a healthy Hudson River.” The families were briefed on seining –catching fish with a net without injuring them.The children were “just borrowing them, just to say “hi”,” the families were told.

After getting a briefing in the Beczak Center, the families went to a small beach behind it on the shores of the Hudson. They wore brown waders and long boot pants and then entered the river under direction.
Using the long triangular net, they caught blue crabs, a Northern pipefish, shrimp and a sea robin fish, among others. The fish and crabs were either returned to the river or kept in an aquarium in the Beczak Center.

“Since the river is filled with life,” one spokesperson said, “I think it is good for the children to have an awareness of new and different things.” What a great way for our youngsters to start to learn awareness  of aquatic creatures, personal experience of how to handle them, and most of all, learn to return them to their natural habitat to protect the environment!

City officials dedicate John Denver Sanctuary expansion
by Andre Salvail,
http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20120702/NEWS/120709987/1001&parentprofile=1058

ASPEN — Rio Grande Park bustled Sunday as city officials formally dedicated the John Denver Sanctuary expansion and the Aspen Ideas Festival held its first-ever block party.

Annie Denver, John Denver's first wife, commented on the expanded sanctuary, which encompasses a 4-acre stormwater filtration system and wetlands area envisioned by Aspen Parks Manager Jeff Woods a few months after John Denver's death in October 1997. About 150 people attended the ceremony in the area next to Theatre Aspen's new courtyard midway between the park's playing field and the Aspen Art Museum.

“It was shortly after John's death that Jeff contacted me, and I have to be honest, I had no idea it was going to look this spectacular,” Annie Denver said.

The wetlands area is designed to clean stormwater running from the eastern side of downtown Aspen to the Roaring Fork River. It's adjacent to the original sanctuary, which opened in 2000 and features large boulders that display the lyrics to several of John Denver's well-known compositions such as “Rocky Mountain High” and “Annie's Song.”

John and Annie Denver moved to Aspen in 1971 just as his recording career was starting to take off. They lived in the Starwood area through the 1970s, during the most successful phase of his career. Despite divorcing in 1982, they continued to reside in Aspen.

“I know John could never have imagined something like this honoring his memory,” Annie Denver said. “John has a line in ‘Rocky Mountain High' stating that he was ‘born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he'd never been before.'

“And I know, and you all know, that what resonates for all of us is that we love Colorado,” she continued. “John loved Colorado. It changed his life. He had the ability to put into words I think things that we all felt. He wrote ‘Rocky Mountain High' on a trip to Williams Lake during the Perseid meteor showers when we were backpacking and camping up there. He never failed to appreciate the beauty of this place.”

Aside from the sanctuary's practical value of cleaning up stormwater before depositing it into the nearby river, Woods said the property pays tribute to Denver's environmental legacy.

“We were looking for a space, a place to build where people could enjoy John's life,” Woods said. “One thing was real clear — Annie did not want a memorial garden. So we came up with the idea of a sanctuary. I think when you walk through this landscape you'll see why it's not a memorial garden, it's really a living garden.”

Small and large rocks, flower gardens, native grasses, waterfalls, streams, seats made from boulders, Theatre Aspen's new lobby area and a wooden bridge mark the location. At a cost of about $400,000, the sanctuary represents most of Phase I of the city's Rio Grande Park improvement project. Phase II, which involves more stormwater ponds, a restroom facility, a pumping station for irrigation, two bridges and renovated trails, begins later this year.

City engineer April Long told the crowd that the sanctuary's stormwater filtration system will carry about half of the downtown area's runoff to the river.

“This is where we had the greatest opportunity to make a big impact,” she said. “With this project we're able to remove about 98 percent of the pollutants that reach the river.”

She said the natural design for the filtration system flies in the face of conventional industry standards that rely on underground pipes and concrete.

“This all looks very natural but it's very engineered,” Long said. “Our goal is to do a stormwater program by mimicking nature. We couldn't have done this without our citizens and their commitment to protecting the environment.”

A mere 200 yards away from the sanctuary dedication, the first-ever Aspen Ideas Festival Block Party was under way. Adults ate lunch provided by five different food vendors as children danced the limbo and mulled about the Rio Grande Park field.

Nonprofit and for-profit organizations set up information booths on the site. Representatives of TheTruth.com played with the kids and touted the group's anti-smoking message. Separate speaker presentations focused on topics such as raising children in the modern technological age and the importance of art.

Michael Holthouse, an Inc. magazine entrepreneur of the year, was brought in to talk about jobs and the economy. His family foundation, The Holthouse Foundation for Kids, focuses on at-risk youth. His newest venture is Lemonade Day, a communitywide education event teaching kids how to start, own and operate their own businesses.

Holthouse told about 70 listeners that job creation lies in the hands of individuals, not the government.

“Jobs are created when some individual decides that they have a better way,” he said. “They have a product or a service or a capability that they can either do better, or has never been done before.”

He challenged the youths at the block party to take on the task of job creation as they get older.

“Begin thinking this way: Don't find a job, create a job. That's what created America,” Holthouse said.

My Suburban "Wild  Country!"
(submitted by Carole  Romanowski - whispjesse@aol.com)
 
I just read an article in my daily Journal News paper concerning the safety of my environment, and others, who live in the suburbs of Westchester, NY -  the recent threat of the  existence of wild coyotes.  Acres of Cook Field park are adjacent to one street behind my house and, since last summer, coyotes have set up residence there. They howl at night so I've been sleeping with earplugs, and most of us avoid the park now during daytime hours.
 
Calls to the police and wildlife conservation agencies to safely transport these coyotes without injuring them, away from my area, have not helped. Obviously wherever these animals came from is so overpopulated with their species, it has forced them to cohabit here!
 
My newspaper reports coyotes are on the prowl due to mating season and hunger so residents should stay vigilant. Young coyote pups who were born in the Spring are now venturing out on their own for the first time.
 
"They have to disperse and set up a new territory", said Paul Curtis, a professor at Cornel University who has been studying suburban coyotes in Westchester since 20002.
 
Curtis said  it can be a dangerous time because the inexperienced canines aren't  always sure where to go or what to eat. People have to be particularly vigilant with small dogs.  
 
Dog owners are not to let them off-leash, especially on wooded trails.  Coyotes' average weight is 35 pounds so they usually yield their territory to mid-size or larger dogs.
 
And small children should be supervised by an adult while outdoors.  Last summer unsupervised  children were attacked by coyotes  upstate in their own back yards.
 
Experts say if you encounter a coyote, it's important not to run away from it. Fleeing a coyote would encourage it to run after you, but staying put or waving your arms would scare the coyote off.
 
"Stand your ground," said Joy Reidenberg, president of the Friends of the Edith Read Wildlife Sanctuary. "Just stay there and wait for the coyote to leave." Never feed them. Do not provide food sources that may attract them, such as outdoor pet food or bird seed. They may be attracted by the birds and rodents drawn to bird feeders.
 
"Any small animal that they can eat, that's prey for them, " Reidenberg said. "These are basically the garbage men of the animal world."
 
Also be aggressive. Loud noises and forceful behavior will normally scare the animal away. Throw sticks or stones.
 
Reidenberg also advised people not to  leave their trash out at night because coyotes will smell it and eat the trash, assuming that the role of  humans is to feed them. As for me, I already have a family of skunks that "grace" our front curb, at times, when we put our garbage out  for collection in the mornings!
 
When coyotes den and are with their pups, coyotes are then most territorial and  more of a threat to humans. Never disturb their habitats.
 
Keeping them safely nearby and still and afraid of humans is the best outcome for everyone.
 
Mayor Douglas French of  Rye, NY said in his State of the City address this year his city's coyote policy will remain aggressive in 2011 as officials continue to teach residents how to peacefully coexist with the wild canines.
 
In conclusion, I hope this article has helped, in some way,  to provide information to anyone who is coexisting with these wild creatures. As for me, I would love  to be  a part of the "wild country" and "find peace there" as John Denver did , but perhaps it would be better just to sit on my front stoop where I can possibly befriend a squirrel!  I hope John Denver understands!

The Green Team!
(submitted by Carole Romanowski-whispjesse@aol.com)
 
My Journal News paper displayed an ad on Con Edison, our energy server here in NY State. Con Ed apparently came up with a plan for New Yorkers to get paid for recycling older working second refrigerators in their house - like one in a finished basement and not used often - in an environmentally friendly way.
 
An old second refrigerator can cost a lot to run. If not being used, Con Ed's Green Team will recycle it for free, saving the customer money and energy plus helping to keep harmful materials out of landfills. The fridge owner will get a $30 rebate plus savings up to $100/year on energy bills after the old fridge is removed!
 
The customer must live in a 1-4 unit home, the fridge must be in working condition, owned by the  resident, and must be a minimum of 10 cubic feet in size, using inside measurements. JACO Environmental is the Con Ed contractor responsible for pick up and recycling of refrigerators. Limit is 2 units per residential address. Customers can schedule a free weekday or Saturday pick-up by calling 1-800-430-9505 or visit conEd.com/greenteam.
 
Sounds good to me! If you live outside of NY State, perhaps check to see if your energy server has a similar program like con Ed's available for you!
