LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
*********************************************************************
Dear Friends,
I wanted to bring to your attention an unbelievably disturbing program I watched
the other night on PBS' POV series. It was called "In the Light of Reverence"
and featured three places in the US that Native Americans consider sacred, and for
which an ongoing battle has been raging. Once again, we see "us vs. them",
with no possibility for a good outcome -- for either side.
Devils Tower. The Four Corners. Mount Shasta. All places of extraordinary beauty
ñ and impassioned controversy ñ as Indians and non-Indians struggle to co-exist with
very different ideas about how the land should be used. For Native Americans, the
land is sacred and akin to the world's greatest cathedrals. For others, the land
should be used for industry and recreation. The film delved into the three peoples
who have special interest in these lands -- the Lakota, Hopi and Wintu -- and the
conflicts that have arisen when greed and bigotry have come before compassion and
acceptance.
Here's a brief idea of some of this film's content. The conflict over climbing at
Devils Tower, Wyoming, escalated into a legal battle in 1997 when Mountain States
Legal Foundation and several commercial climbers sued the National Park Service for
asking climbers and tourists to respect Native American beliefs about the tower and
not climb during the month of June -- a time when Native ceremonies are taking place.
The fundamental irony of the denial of religious freedom to the first Americans is
mirrored in the fact that it is a federal crime to climb the faces of Mt. Rushmore.
To the Lakota, Devil's Tower is their church. How can you compare the significance
of a place where Earth's spirits reside with the carved stone images of dead presidents?
To me, the answer is seemingly an easy one -- a one-month climbing moratorium doesn't
sound like a huge hardship -- and yet, the climbers actually won this round, pleading
a loss of income at climbing shops and guide services.
There has been a growing need, universally sensed in native communities, that perhaps
the time has come to open up and share information so that non-Indian people will
understand how important sacred places are to Indian cultural survival, the fulfillment
of cultural covenants and to the health of the earth. That was the purpose of creating
this film. I encourage you to watch it the next time it airs.
My heart to yours,
Ann

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
*********************************************************************
http://www.globalethics.org/gvs/denver.html
Peace is a Conscious Choice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's one piece of advice my dad gave me when he dropped me off at college. He
said, "You've got the talent. You can sing and play guitar. That doesn't make
you any better than anyone else."
And that's where I really come from. There's an aspect of human nature in which we
want to think we're better than somebody else. They're a different color. They speak
a different language. They have a different name for the Creator. Whatever it is,
that makes it okay for me to hate them, to try to get some of their land or some
of their resources. We must begin to make what I call "conscious choices,"
and to really recognize that we are the same. It's from that place in my heart that
I write my songs. And it's a conscious choice. Peace is a conscious choice.
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes
from an understanding that you are a gift in my life--whoever you are, whatever our
differences.
I would so much like young people to have a sense of the gift that they are. Not
many of them feel like that. We don't teach kids how to feel, we don't give them
the words to go by. I think the biggest problem in the world is that we have a generation
of young people, and maybe two, who don't think it's going to get any better.
I would make my job a work of art. I would like whatever it is that I'm doing--everyone's
experience of me, everyone's interaction with me, everyone's discussion, conversation,
relationship with me--[to be] an event within which they get to see who they are.
I would make of my life a work of art.

LETTERS
*********************************************************************
Dear Friends/Fans of John Denver,
It was my sincere pleasure to be in Columbus, Ohio last weekend for "Windstar
One World", put on by the "Heart of Ohio Windstar Connection".
What a joy to meet so many people, like minded in spirit, wanting to carry on the
vision of Windstar. I had the opportunity to both speak to and, more importantly,
visit with many folks one on one, about the future of the Windstar Foundation. This
was a real treat and I hope as good for them as it was for me.
There were many connections groups there and I also had the pleasure of meeting Jim
Toth, President of the "Northern Ohio Windstar Connection"! What a wonderful
man and kindred spirit in what we are all about. He has inspired many folks and
created a "model" connections program. This was my first opportunity to
meet and learn more about his group and the many excellent things they do in their
community, many of which, we (Windstar) hope we can emulate literally around the
globe as we continue to expand and grow.
My only regret is there werenít more people there gathered to learn and grow as I
think we all did.
I believe next year Jim Toth will be hosting the event in Cleveland, with support
from Nancy Holloway and the "Heart of Ohio" connection, and I am confident
this will be beneficial for everyone who can, to attend.
As I look at the progress made so far this year by the foundation I am even more
excited about the future. We had another successful "Kids Week" and "Ed
Week" on the Windstar land, both of these programs being a part of what Windstar
is all about, "Education!" We also had a wonderful "Volunteer Work
Weekend" that I was able to attend and enjoy as many of us worked our fannyís
off, to rebuild the path up to Johnís meditation platform, and plant many trees and
plants around the dam of the upper lake, as well as many other wonderful jobs that
needed to be done.
Our second newsletter is in the mail and, through the magic of e-commerce, folks
are now joining us from all over the world via the Internet at www.wstar.org,
our home page.
Soon we will have the new charter for the "Connections Program" in place,
allowing people to form a connection without the hassle of creating a 501c3 to do
it. We are already seeing folks coming together and forming new connections as we
gain new membership. I think we have members in all but 8 states now, and in many
foreign lands.
If you have not yet chosen to participate with us, please do. This is the time to
"Come Home to Windstar!" For as I keep reminding folks, each time I am
given the chance to speak, "The Jobís Not Finished!" There is still so
very much to do for the "environmental sustainability of our planet!"
Ron Deutschendorf
President, Windstar Board of Trustees

NEWS FROM NEW ZEALAND
Susan Leaver (susanleaver@yahoo.com)
writes:
Fellow member Samuel Hartman and myself visited the offices of the Auckland City
Council yesterday seeking sponsorship for our Mentor sponsorship program beginning
in September. It had been suggested that our program could tie in with the Auckland
City Council's 'Clean up New Zealand" promotion that is happening around the
same time - encouraging the individual to care for the environment.
We discovered that people ALL OVER New Zealand are planning activities to care for
the environment all at one time. Who before has heard of an entire country committing
itself to the care of the planet ? This is spine tingling stuff if you ask me.
At the end of the meeting the Council officers agreed to put our event on our program.
When we were leaving the building one shared she had seen John in concert, and the
other said her husband had. We JD people certainly flock to each other don't we.
The other event happening for us is on 26 August when we commemorate the third anniversary
of our tree and plaque planting in the Auckland Domain, in honor of John, so we will
be approximately 21 hours ahead of the Huntingdon Beach event - what a lovely setting.
We will be thinking of you.

GREAT LAKES WINDSTAR CONNECTION
From Julia Park (juliapark@Care2.com):
I am passing along our announcement for the Great Lakes Michigan Windstar Connection.
We are in the very early planning phase. If you know of anyone in the Great Lakes
Area who may be interested in participating , please forward this notice to them.
It is my hope that, once we are 'up and running', that we could work on something
that would include the John Denver Memorial Peace Cloth. The really wonderful part
of the geographical area that we live in is that we are right next door to Ontario,
Canada. I live about 30 minutes from the border of Detroit and Windsor, Ontario ,
30 minutes from Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan , about 70 miles from Toledo,
Ohio, and about an hour from Lake Erie.
Peace and God's Blessings,
Julia Park
~Notice~
A Great Lakes Michigan Windstar Connection Group is forming. We will be working
within the network of all of the Windstar Connections Programs and our geographical
area of focus is the Great Lakes Region of North America. Anyone is welcome and this
includes our Canadian neighbors as well as folks from other States. Students and
children are welcome as well. There are many possibilities to make a difference!
If you are interested in participating in the Great Lakes Michigan Windstar Connection
in any way please
contact Julia Park at juliapark@Care2.com

Hi,
I love receiving all the news about efforts in John's name, and I'm wondering if
there are any Canadians who are members.
Could you please print a notice in the next newsletter for any friends in Southern

From Leslie (pandabrown@worldnet.att.net):
I just purchased a new John Denver CD at Barnes and Noble bookstore entitled "
John Denver...Love Again". It was produced by John and Kris O'Connor.
It was recorded in 1996 in Nashville, and includes recent redoings of songs we all
know and love.. As an avid music listener, I find these recordings very interesting
because you not only see the growth of the artist, but also the growth and historical
value of the song. I feel that this shows us what makes a musical composition a "classic".
In my opinion, John Denver stands as tall in his own right as a musician , composer,
poet, and performer with the likes of Mozart, Beethoven (my personal all time favorites),
Goethe and Frost.. It is a must to own... Enjoy! Leslie

EVENTS REVIEWS
*********************************************************************
ONE WORLD....at HEART OF OHIO WINDSTAR
What a wonderful event! There were folks there from OH, NY, AZ, IN, TN,GA, (I probably
left somewhere out) and Canada...and of course Colorado (Windstar) and CA (Ron Deutschendorf).
Ron was our keynote speaker for the morning session on Saturday and did a wonderful
job. He speaks very passionately of Windstar and its mission...and he also speaks
with the same energy about the John Denver Memorial Peace Cloth. (and we so appreciate
his support). I did a breakout session on the Peace Cloth and covered our history,
the UN event, where we've been and where we're going. The whole weekend dealt with
issues near and dear to Windstar's heart and ours too (environmental, peace, etc)
Good food, good friends and excellent musical entertainment from Larry Drake (Columbus
folk singer) and Mark Cormican (WOW....highly recommend checking out Mark's CD...he
has a beautiful tribute song to John Denver) I got to meet Dave Snouffer (our midi
guy from Toledo)...actually figured out I had seen Dave at this event in Columbus
several years ago...at that time I just didn't make the connection. Linda Wolverton
did a wonderful job helping with the breakout on the Peace Cloth. Our feed back was
immediate and good. We had several teachers express an interest in bringing the cloth
into their schools! We even got excellent feedback from Ron D as folks apparently
told him we did a good job. There were probably about 80 people there over the weekend.
Windstar is back, guys! If you haven't visited the website recently...do it...join....get
involved. www.wstar.org

ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS
*********************************************************************
This month's Environmental News focuses on charitable giving. From August 15 Tourbus:
I have some bad news, folks: The Hunger Site is dead. :(
When we first visited The Hunger Site back in the summer of 1999 [see http://tourbus.com/archive/tb072299.htm
] the site was still being run by John Breen, a computer programmer from Bloomington,
Indiana. The Hunger Site's premise was simple: visit The Hunger Site once a day,
click the "Donate Free Food" button, and a little less than 3 cents would
be donated to an international relief organization.
Managing The Hunger Site's day-to-day operations became too much for Breen, though,
and in February he sold The Hunger Site to GreaterGood.com, a Seattle-based, for-profit
philanthropy and Internet shopping portal. GreaterGood's sales and advertising revenue
fell sharply this year, and the company was forced to shut its doors -- and The Hunger
Site -- on July 18th. Also closed were GreaterGood's Rainforest Site, Kids AIDS Site,
Child Survival Site, Breast Cancer Site, and Landmine Site.
----------------
FreeDonation.com
----------------
Looking for a replacement for the now defunct Hunger Site? Take a look at FreeDonation.com
at
http://www.freedonation.com
FreeDonation.com provides information about, and lets you make donations that support:
- Ending hunger
- Saving children from diseases
- Defeating cancer
- Stopping AIDS
- Housing the homeless
- Supporting the arts
- Promoting education
One click of your mouse will result in a donation to a charitable organization by
FreeDonation's sponsors. And you can click as many times as you like! Over 100,000
donations are made every day by site visitors, and that number is growing rapidly.
According to Niuniu Ji, the founder of FreeDonation, sponsors pay a few cents every
time you
donate, and 100% of the total goes to charity.
And, of course, if you are looking for yet ANOTHER site that will fill you with an
amazing sense of personal satisfaction just by clicking on a simple Web page button,
I *highly* recommend visiting
http://www.platinumgrit.com/poke.html

Charity Reports
---------------
If you would like to do more than click on a button, two great Web sites can help
you find a charity that both needs your help and that isn't a fraud. The first is
the Better Business Bureau's new Give.org site at
http://www.give.org/
Created by the merger of the National Charities Information Bureau and the Philanthropic
Advisory Service of the Council of Better Business Bureaus Foundation, Give.org provides
detailed information about hundreds of charitable organizations operating inside
the United States.
The second site is Helping.org at
http://www.helping.org/
This site is for both volunteers, helping you locate giving opportunities, and charities,
providing "online resources and tools to help nonprofits integrate the power
of the Internet into their strategic planning."
AND OF COURSE --- DON'T FORGET!!!! Ecologyfund has an area just for us -- subscribe
at http://www.ecologyfund.com and be sure to select John Denver Remembrance as your
"giving group". The group has, to date, donated 1,086,714.7 sq. ft. to
a number of wonderful international conservation projects. Just by clicking on each
of the projects, you can donate 188 sq feet per day -- I'm already at 1 acre! AS
