May 27, 2014

Last Thursday I was at the Station House Cafe prior to doing my radio show (Bakersfield and Beyond) and I was introduced to some friends of a friend who live in the San Geronimo Valley. I was very excited about the fact that KWMR recently turned on the translator atop Mt. Barnabe and the station now broadcasts at 92.3 FM in The Valley, and I asked them if they would check it out. I also asked them if they had a stereo, FM radio or Boom Box to get the signal.

They said that they had a stereo but that it was slated to be sold at a garage sale on the coming Saturday at their place in Forrest Knolls! They had never gotten 90.5 FM very well at their house, ever.

Well, they turned on 92.3 FM and listened to KWMR loud and clear around the Nicasio reservoir and all the way home.

They sent this report and I had to ask about the stereo. They still have it!

Have you checked out the signal in the San Geronimo Valley? Do you have any pals that live there? Have them see if they get KWMR on 92.3 FM and ask the to let me know about it.

Thanks!

Please Note: Due to the wonkiness of the Internet today, there will be a lack of really cool images in the Round Up. It is a better use of YOUR donations if Amanda does not continue to spend time dinking around with this today. Thank you to the library for your Internet connection, but it's a bit windy out here on the bench.

 

Saturday, May 31

9-10 am "The Vicarious Traveler" will be filled with people who spent the day (May 26) walking for peace alongside many of the inmates of San Quentin. We were walking to promote peace and to raise money for youth to join in the upcoming Annual Global Youth Peace Summits.

 

Sunday, June 1

8-10 pm "L.A. Theatre Works." Tonight it's "The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial" by Peter Goodchild. Directed by Brendon Fox, and starring Edward Asner, John de Lancie, Harry Groener. The Scopes Trial, over the right to teach evolution in public schools, reaffirmed the importance of intellectual freedom as codified in the Bill of Rights. The trial, in a small-town Tennessee courtroom in 1925, set the stage for ongoing debates over the separation of Church and State in a democratic society-debates that continue to this day.

 

This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works' Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Major funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, to enhance public understanding of science and technology in the modern world.

They carry local grass-fed meats including West Marin favorites like Stemple Creek Ranch beef.

Tuesday, June 3

4:30 pm "Open House." Severine v T Fleming of Agrarian Trust joins Lyons Filmer. The Trust focuses on land access for beginning farmers, and permanent protection of affordable organic farmland. Severine will report on the April gathering in Berkeley, "OUR LAND: a Symposium on Farmland Access in the 21st Century. 

 

In the next 20 years, an estimated 400 million acres of farmland will change hands as 70% of current farmland owners retire. Meanwhile, entering farmers struggle to compete with real estate prices, particularly in peri-urban areas critical to food security. Greyhairs have to get out, Greenhorns want to get in, and it's a transition about the size of the Louisiana purchase.

 

Speakers included Joel Salatin, Kathy Ruhf, Gary Nabhan, Gloria Robinson, Wes Jackson, Raj Patel, Gayle Mclaughlin, Anuradha Mittal, Elizabeth Henderson, Eric Holt Gimenez, Reggie Knox and Severine v T Fleming.Through the lenses of history, ecology, political economy and direct experience, the speakers addressed both practical and philosophical aspects of this transition.

 

Wednesday, June 4

8-10 am "Swimming Upstream." Teacher Julie Cassell and her 8th grade students at West Marin School just returned from their trip to Sacramento and will join Amanda on Swimming Upstream to talk about what they learned on this most excellent adventure.
