Desert Green House Restoration Project,
Death Valley, CA. - Hip Forums
file:10 year plan, maturation and fruition by 2012.
Most of the misfits and outcasts(ie..hippies) whom I have known and loved over the last 40 years, have often as not, made a very satisfiying subsistance livelyhood just by working hard at being humane and happy...even when they've had to take temporary jobs in the service industries or production lines of corporate Amerika.
I've learned that Our Generation is a priveledged one, because We are the Ones whose meaningful work is to salvage the best of a collapsed social structure, BEFORE 2012 AD.
We have BECOME the Professional Class of the Coming New Age, so that we ALL can enjoy Our Decline of a Thousand Golden Years, and make it a Celebratory SwanSong of a Species. Viva la Revolucion!!! meanwhile, We CAN live on 'love', and raw sweet peas, if and when anybody wants to help restore a Desert GreenHouse to foodplant status>>>>bring us yer well-grown hip children to help. We could really use their talents....can he sketch out some blueprints? can she repair existing plumbing?luv and raw peas, Sage(local#4592)

In Regards to The Reverand Wright
I was NOT offended by the Pastor's preaching the Golden Rule, and condemning a war-mongering nation's foreign policy, or by his reminders of our government's conspiracy against Us.
Jeremiah, this old piece from 1985, is hereby dedicated to you. It's really too bad and so sad, that the media did such a number on the trust between you and Barack. Don't worry! It'll get made better, later.
Cinco de Mayo/AIDS Conspiracy Theory
AIDS is iotragenic.
The human organism’s immune system has been seriously compromised and rendered ineffective in some cases, by the medical profession’s concerted efforts with generations of anti-biotics, primarily penicillin, which have become known to mutate the body’s natural response to infection, which then becomes resistant, progressively.
Can it therefore be said that if one is a chronic consumer of medical services, then is it likely that one is susceptible to encountering a fatal virus?
We are a dying Race. Folks are racing to die. The emergency rooms of Amerika are filled to overflowing with hurt and sick people. We are dropping like flies in a hard freeze, from cancer, pneumonia, murder, stress.
Would Big Brother want Us to notice the death throes of a terminal environment? Would Doomsday Announcements only cause panic and accelerate genocide?
Triangulations are possible to support a theory that there exists a conspiracy to camouflage the catastrophic consequences of a necrotic society, and to control the masses with medication, incarceration, and methodical moral fascisms.
The Church and State are in collusion to assign blame to the individuals who recreate, procreate, and aspirate toxic atmospheres: to alienate Us from each other in our intimate relationships; to keep us divided, under suspicion, and subdued.
The practice of modern Medicine has become a deathcult religion to govern and control the culture of Life, Freedom, and Health, for corporate profit.
The Church Fathers of the Dark Ages, murdered the real Healers at the Stake, and proceeded to declare Renascence to co-opt and redefine ancient sciences into patriarchal, monotheistic ritual terms of war. We can see how modern medicine has lowered the death rate, and raised the survivable birthrate, so can it be held responsible also, for the Population Bomb exploding our chances of mass survival? And can the HIV/AIDS pandemic be seen as the Medical Profession’s ‘final solution’ to the TOO MANY LEMMINGS Syndrome?

Old Business
As an almost 60 year old Feminist Voter my issues go back to Sojourner Truth and Alice Paul, so I will cast My Vote this time for the Candidate most likely to use extraordinary Presidential Powers to Pardon Leonard Peltier, and Ratify the Equal Gender Rights Amendment, by Executive Order.
I'm betting that Barack is old enough to remember Leonard, young enough to remember that 18 year old men are still required by Law, to register for the Selective Service, and mature enough to have married a Feminist Woman.
Hillary has never been a Feminist, much less ever, even used the word.
21st Century EGRA: Equality of Rights, under American Law, shall NOT be denied or abridged, by the United States, or by any State, on account of Gender.

dreadful when I stayed at the women's shelter for Christmas, one

good ones, or ones that can be made good. bye for now, i'm off to
look at yer pictures., ta-ta, Sage Pssst...The Old Spanish Trail is

try to slow down in passing by signs and street theatre, trade
circles, a la california home movie set. Hipi Propoganda Videos,
worth $10,000 on America's Funniest. We've invited Leonard Peltier
to come here for rehab when he gets out with a presidential pardon
from Barack Obama. The Corporation is still holding our baths
hostage, and We, the People of Tecopa and A.I.M. intend to occupy the
premises with a free reign.

I am a 59 year old, Green Republican, a duly registered, absentee Voter, who hereby promises to vote for the Democrat who will promise to get the Equal Rights Amendment ratified, ASAP.
If neither Hillary or Barak mentions My Issue, I will write in My Vote to Draft Al Gore. My only compromise is that I'm tempted to vote for a sensible and articulate Black Man who could repair Our Image on the World Scene. The Clinton Soap Opera seems to me to be just too tacky for the 21st Century.

Since the last posting, AT&T has crashed my computer with an inappropriate software update, and I was forced to take a vacation from the Web for about six months. It was too hot a summer to drip sweat into the keyboard, anyway. Suffice it to say that We All had a very mellow summer just to spite the unusually continuous monsoon humidity.

Except for the above evidence of obvious collusion with CLM's Gestapo, and some persistent muck-racking by yokel, non-titular Tecopan yuppies, this Community's MayDay Crisis with the County has been resolved in the People's favor....
Trash collection will NOT be changed in the foreseeable future; the Library's cooling system has been repaired at Yokel Kenny's expense; and the Community Center's shopping shuttle service, has been upgraded under a new contract with a more professional service provder, so that Our New BRRRoohm will be flying to Pahrump banks, stores, and doctor appointments, as regularly scheduled.
We are having a Wonderfully Peaceful Summer.

Feminist Opinion/ re: racist and sexist remarks
Don Imus DESERVES to Graciously Resign,
collect what's left of his contacted salary,
and do community service to help pay off
his Network's fines. (as Sincere Apology)
or else...the Boss can justly FIRE him,
which is really OK because he's been
fired before, and it's NOT gonna make
him homeless.
Wikipedia says,
"In high school, he was impeached
as class president for behaving like a dictator."
Sage says,
"I think somebody should remind Brother Don
that Today's young Basketball players,
are Tomorrow's Coast Guard, Naval, and Marine Corps Officers."

Kirby's Coach, on the farm road between Mechlinburg and Odessa, New York, I was playing pool with a Backpack Touring Woman named Janis,
when she looked up from her bead on the 8ball, and right at me, she said, "I dont suppose that Romance turns yer stomack(sneer). heh heh eheh heh ehe heh ...still makes me laugh, rememberin'. Specially, since she convinced me that she WAS Joplin, post mastectomy. Said she was living in a Collective Community outside DeKaulb Junction, N.Y., with a man named Crow. Come to think of it...she might be still there. must google, later!

DESIDERATA
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good
terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others, even to the dull and the
ignorant; they too have their own story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are
vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter, for always there
will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however
humble; it is a real possession in the changing
fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery. But let this not
blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love; for in the face
of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as
perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in
sudden misfortune. But do not distress
yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle
with yourself. You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars; you have
a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear
to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding
as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you
conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors
and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

For Elderly Irish Tenors and Contraltos
Bread and Roses
As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill lofts grey
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing
Bread and roses, bread and roses
As we go marching, marching
We battle too for men
For they are womens children
And we mother them again
Our lives shall not be sweated
From birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies
Give us bread, but give us roses.
As we go marching, marching
We bring the greater days
For the rising of the women
Means the rising of the race
No more the drudge and idler
Ten that toil where one reposes
But the sharing of lifes glories
Bread and roses, bread and roses.
Words by James Oppenheim (1912)

Poetry for the Un-Cured RomanticFool Card Folks
of the Gypsy Tarot Clan
Enjoy the well-scrubbed Airs of March,
all ye blowhards and blowfishies!!!
luv and raw sweetpeas, Sage
In 60sBeyond@yahoogroups.com, "LionHeart"gives us
this EveryFather's Tribute to his Daughters.
Madonna Mia by Oscar Wilde
A lily-girl, not made for this world's pain,
With brown, soft hair close braided by her ears,
And longing eyes half veiled by slumberous tears
Like bluest water seen through mists of rain:
Pale cheeks whereon no love hath left its stain,
Red underlip drawn in for fear of love,
And white throat, whiter than the silvered dove,
Through whose wan marble creeps one purple vein.
Yet, though my lips shall praise her without cease,
Even to kiss her feet I am not bold,
Being o'ershadowed by the wings of awe,
Like Dante, when he stood with Beatrice
Beneath the flaming Lion's breast, and saw
The seventh Crystal, and the Stair of Gold.

Nursing Notes: Harvey of Kpah
Dx .Psychic Vampirism; a sexist, monomaniacal psychosis with hysterical penetration angst ,a deeply rooted persecution complex, and willful hordes of toxic baggage.
Conjecture: Small-statured males seem to be genetically neurotic, and predisposed to faulty attitudinal disorders, culturally flawed reasoning powers, painful panic syndromes, dependencies, and addictions to power.
Prognosis: Most likely, NOT curable without conscious epiphany.

MINUTES from
Tecopa’s Second Town Meeting
of the 21st Century
Feb. 24, 2007
Attendance:
We who were there,
know who wasn’t, and
those who weren’t, don’t.
Harvey and Gerry of KPAHpahrumpradio.com
arrived on the Noon Stage, and since nobody
was hungry enough to bring food, we cancelled
the Potluck, and moved the Agenda by opening
a bottle of Red Californian Spumante, and raised
a Toast to a framed photo of Mrs. Barbara Price,
The Mother of the Omega Miracle Project,
Chairing Tecopa’s First Town Meeting
in February of 2002.
Barbara is gone, but her Miracle lives on.
Harvey then delivered an update on the
FCC’s latest auctioning of Tecopa’s lease
coordinates to out-of-state, well-moneyed,
broadcast license grabbers, and Jon decided
to give the Pahrumpians permission to bring
a more TecopaSetic broadcast capability,
with a low watt transmitter for the hill out back,
to his Downtown property.
Whereupon, the rest of the Agenda concerning
County politics, was tabled for future discussion,
and the meeting was adjourned to tour the
property for studio space and elevations.
Zee Bard’s Home Coming Party was over in time
for Siesta, and his Home Coming Present was a
windblown and tattered, Gadsden Flag.

on the Inyo County Board of Supervisors???"
Jon's Reply..
Absolutely! Before most of anyone still around here even knew this place existed, I was here helping my dear old Dad enjoy his dream. Now, most everything around here is because of my love and understanding of everybody who decides to live out beyond the reach of the "city" life. While there are some around here who don't care too much for me, for whatever their reasons, I can represent them all. All of Us out here are the "OUTCASTS" of Inyo County. Yet, We are the future of Inyo. See you at high noon.

HIPI MAMA'S VALENTINE to Her ExHusband
Dear Bob, and please Fw to; Becky,
Don’t look for any verbal or written response from yer Dad…He is dyslexic, ya know…and he can’t spell worth a fart joke, either. BUTT…He HAS learned to be quite psychic, and dream-fluent, over the years, and he DOES send his love to You Both, daily!! Just like I do, inspurts, and in the Spirit of Crazy Horse.
Has He ever told you His Story, that he stuck to for years, about being from a Star in the Pleiades Constellation.??? I actually listened to his periodic updates, and KNEW he wasn’t lying, because he NEVER lied about ANYthing. So, I’ve always believed that His version of His Own History, must be TRUE.
So, who are YOU Two, to criticize and disrespect your loving Father’s Life with His Katherine???
It took three trys, but yer Dad has managed to wind-up with the Girl of His High School Dreams, when his nickname around campus was “Cathy’s Clown”. Hurray!!
How’s Todd and Beckee?? Sure do wish I had some pics of yer Dad and Kathrine(? Unsure of name), and of Your teen-aged years, You and Daughter Booh!!! Luv, Mom
Psst…Happy Valentine’s Day
I still love Willy, till death do us part.

I am getting real tired of watching yer weather girls fly off the handle with negative alarmist attitudes about the fear factors involving helpless yuppies driving to work.
Having spent the best years of my life in the Heart of New York, I'm here in Death Valley remembering fondly, being SnowBound in the City, and the Woods, several times, and being totally impressed with the weather-hardiness that bordered on finesse, as displayed and acted upon, by the Citizens of the NeighborHoods, who resort to Home Rule Anarchy as a primary survival skill of self-government.
So, know this! dear weather people....Being SnowBound in New York is NOT 'miserable', as you've insisted on reporting! Yew Norkers are quite capable of handling a work and school shut-down without complaint. Make sure you are around later for the heroic tales that will abound among the hip, survivalist artists and musicians and bards, and Mothers, who will need to be reimbursed for expenses, and given recognition for their social works in times of danger.

@BlackDogJunction/Renunciate Guild House, 2007:
Dear Jon,
I am NOT voting to send you to Sacramento, ever again.
I don't agree with yer grandiose, corporate dreams of development
in this alkali desert, My HOME.
In 20 years, the only People who will be living here, will be wind and
solar farmers who can survive, thrive, and teach how to survive
independently of the grid, which will likely be in a shambles and
supporting only a bare-boned existence in the Nation's city slums,
where loser's will be trapped, snared to meager existence, tied to
meager resources, unable to walk across the Desert, much less
live long enough in extreme conditions, to terrorize Tecopasetic
Desert Tribes, just to steal vegetables, and eat home grown and
slaughtered coyote meat, or make flour out of corkscrewed beans
that grow on trees.
My Vision of Tecopa Station, as soon as 2012, is of fruit and nut
orchards, on all corner's of the Downtown Junction,
where food and shade will be FREE for the judicious Park 'n' Pick Crowd
of ALL Tecopasetic, Titular, and Sovereign Survivors.
So mote it be My Way instead of Yours, King Stag!!!

Re: Leanne’s WHINEY Petition
I’ve only lived in Tecopa’s Downtown Neighborhood
for the last five years, but…even I know that
Leanne Conus is one of the last old-timer antagonists
of the 20th Century Zellafir Feud, and that her version
of the new age Vista that is Tecopa Stage Stop, these days,
is more than slightly out of myopic focus.
Her ‘facts’ are wrong, misleading, and felonious false witness.
As a YearRound Resident and Tax Payer, still,
I’m writing to tell you that the mosquito population, this last summer
was obviously living elsewhere in the Heights, because they sure were scarce in downtown, after the baby fishes and crawdads and egrets and roadrunners ate up almost all the larvae, and the bats took out most of those survivors. RoadRunner Creek is a lassoed wild, living body of freshwater, diverted thru 50 feet of old sewer pipes under the road, from the NorthSide property across Old Spanish Trail, into a small settling pond that drains down to the River across Jon’s Watershed to his GreenHouse and Future WaterWheel.
So, LEANNE!!! Stick THIS up yer Pipes, and flush it!!!

Correct answer……#2, by reason of polemic euphemism.

Happy Birthday, Martin!!!
Forty years ago at Riverside Church, people of conscience declared that "a time comes when silence is betrayal."
"We are at the moment when our lives must be placed on the line if our nation is to survive its own folly. Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest," King preached that day.

Just so You KNOW: I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, CLEARLY!!!
Dearly Geri Rose, and High AngeMichael???
Thanx for being such a good friend to
Our GeorgianPegasus ClanSister. And if You choose to help her accomplish the Mission she has taken on herself for My Benefit
Birthday Present, even to the point of using her whole savings account for a golfcart, instead of paying off her GA. Tickets so she can keep her driving priveledges…..
Geri, I have aged twenty years since I had my first(and so far, ONLY) broken bone injury on your property…Thank Goddess that my lawyer promised me a nut-check in six months, as apposed to a 5 year liability suit.
So now that I actually have the budget flexibility to stretch
a line item to include $50.00 a month, for the rest of my life, to either You or Jahnean, and actually live long enough, happily paying out the $500.00 gift (returns someday) to Thomas Headley, for Kathleen and the Twins, the last month before I left on New Year’s Day, 2002 when You and Me STILL were NOT yet on speaking terms, if y’ll remember!!!
Never have had the operation to re-break the ankle, and get it pinned…so, the damned thing is STILL broken, and has taken out the cartilage under my last good knee , which now rolls on rock s, clogging the mortar and pestle.
So thusly, If Jahnean INSISTS on getting the available cart,
come hell or highwater!!! why dontcha help her to drive it into my desert resort Birthday Soak Party, in memory of Janis Joplin??? I’ve got a really nice CruiseShip MuuMuu for You, if Jahnean doesn’t see it Firsties!
I could go on about the Cayenne in the Venison Stew Blunder, and the Clear Warning you gave me, Schizo..., when you told me you WANTED to get me off the Goat Farm. I knew then that I needed to get those AZ tags for the Vdub , so that you wouldn’t have to feel guilty about making me homeless….
….but I won’t!....I am letting those by-gones be gone, if not forgotten. Will You forgive Me, and forget my debts to You, por favor???
Luv and NO PEAS IN THE STEW< EITHER, Sage at 58’07
Pssst…If You don’t give a positive response to this proposal, I’ll NEVER forgive You for putting Cayenne in that FreshRoadKilled Venison Stew!!! I CLEARLY remember that My Behavior was
certainly more Kosher than either Yours, OR that Jewish neighbor of yours, whose air-voice sounded like she WAS chewing on aluminum foil like I heard her say on-air, and SHE cracked me up!!! With a Semetic JAPcurse(incohoots with.Dau, dontcha KNOW? THAT’s the ‘why’ of that break on the day after Gypsy Chain got killed in the Woods.

Thelma Angelo was a longtime resident of Shoshone Trail Park, a former client of Tecopa Community Center’s Senior Programs, and a Founding Mother of the SovereignTreatyShadeUnion, who has recently retired to more easily assisted apartment living in her Elder Brother’s Carson City Neighborhood. She has sent the following Poetry and Testimony in support of the Boycott…enjoy!
THELMA’S SONG
I don’t want to sound disrespectful
When I ask Saint Peter to wait,
But there’s a place I long to visit
Before I pass thru his Pearly Gate:
It’s a Land of Hills and Valleys,
The greenest ever seen,
Where the King of Leprechauns himself
Dances with the Faerie Queen..
When the Moon is full upon a warm night’s scene,
And the breeze off LockLomen brings the mists of dream,
And the music of the King’s fiddle puts me in hypnotic trance,
My feet, of their own accord, begin to tap and dance,
And the Queen of Faerie, with shamrock-braided golden hair,
Whirls me round and round until I loose all cares.
The Irish from my mother makes my heart wish to go
Where the bagpipes gives me goose bumps
And the blarney stories flow,
And the Mothers tell their children
“the banshee’s will get you if you’re not good”
So all the babes of Ireland are Angels,
And the music of life’s magic is clearly understood.
I’m asking you, dear St. Peter,
To be patient with me one last time,
While I frolic on the moonlit Green,
So that I can bring reminders to Eire’s Angels,
Of dancing with the Queen.
Testimony…October 29, 2006
Not much on TV, so I’m sitting in my one room in a nice city wishing I was back in the trailer I sold too cheap, at the edge of Death Valley…just a spot in the Road…one store and gas station, a café and bar together, a Museum, the Sheriff’s office, the Post Office where one had to go get mail, and next door, the Park office where I paid for the privilege of living on the space my trailer sat on for ten years, which was owned by a descendant of Great-Grandfather Brown(?). The trailer had a porch that my Son came and enclosed with screen, making a nice extra room where I could watch the cars go by. The hills changed colors as the sun went down, and the trees behind were a rare feathery kind of Tamarisk called ‘salt cedars ’ and they spread their limbs until they grew too heavy and old, and would crack and fall in a strong wind. I loved to listen to the soft, southern, summer breezes rustle thru them at night. It was not rare to hear coyotes calling to each other, and sometimes one would stroll thru the park. In back was a campground under the scattered trees, a barbeque pit, a laundry house, and a bath house for the Campers. The most wonderful thing was the swimming pool of flow-thru water, warm even in winter, with piped in water forming a waterfall. I was always amazed to see such a wonderful pool, not even crowded…it never was, and I had the pool to myself, likely as not, but enjoyed many hours with my old neighbors and friends, watching the bats come out after mosquitoes as the evenings got dark.
Death Valley’s being one of the Wonders of the Natural World, there were travelers from all over the World coming thru…some I met in the pool, and at the café. How I wished I could talk to them in their many languages.
Just 8 miles South was another spot in the road called Tecopa…long faded now, not even a store anymore, but still the home of a little steepled church, a Post Office, and an old motel where one Lady, my friend Sage, still lives because she wanted her dogs with her, and this was allowed. Two miles from the Post Office are the Hot Springs feeding the Once and Future Public Baths, one for men and one for women. Very nice. Two bath houses with hot mineral water constantly flowing thru, showers, a roof on one and the other open to the sun’s rays as you relax between 10 minute soaks. There are neighboring trailer parks and resorts with spaces, small cabins, and private baths that range from extra warm to cooking hot. Watch out for the lobster effect.
Because we live in a country where the government won’t let things stay the same as they used to be, now the Baths that Chief Tecopa refused to sell, and were free for all mankind since forever, now the government is charging a fee. The water is flowing freely out of Mother Nature for the use of People who need the healing waters to ease their aches and pains.
Many of the People who live around town are poor as well as crippled, and can’t afford the fees, and it just isn’t fair that they are forced to suffer.
For the tourists who can afford the fees, I say OK, But for the local People
who need the therapeutic treatments, I say, “Give them a free pass. They get medical benefits and compensation, don’t they?”
Don’t try to change what Chief Tecopa believed in. The Baths were meant to be FREE. Why charge? I bet Tecopa is turning in his grave, don’t you???

So that I can bring reminders to Eire’s Angels,
Of dancing with the Queen.
Testimony…October 29, 2006
Not much on TV, so I’m sitting in my one room in a nice city wishing I was back in the trailer I sold too cheap, at the edge of Death Valley…just a spot in the Road…one store and gas station, a café and bar together, a Museum, the Sheriff’s office, the Post Office where one had to go get mail, and next door, the Park office where I paid for the privilege of living on the space my trailer sat on for ten years, which was owned by a descendant of Great-Grandfather Brown(?). The trailer had a porch that my Son came and enclosed with screen, making a nice extra room where I could watch the cars go by. The hills changed colors as the sun went down, and the trees behind were a rare feathery kind of Tamarisk called ‘salt cedars ’ and they spread their limbs until they grew too heavy and old, and would crack and fall in a strong wind. I loved to listen to the soft, southern, summer breezes rustle thru them at night. It was not rare to hear coyotes calling to each other, and sometimes one would stroll thru the park. In back was a campground under the scattered trees, a barbeque pit, a laundry house, and a bath house for the Campers. The most wonderful thing was the swimming pool of flow-thru water, warm even in winter, with piped in water forming a waterfall. I was always amazed to see such a wonderful pool, not even crowded…it never was, and I had the pool to myself, likely as not, but enjoyed many hours with my old neighbors and friends, watching the bats come out after mosquitoes as the evenings got dark.
Death Valley’s being one of the Wonders of the Natural World, there were travelers from all over the World coming thru…some I met in the pool, and at the café. How I wished I could talk to them in their many languages.
Just 8 miles South was another spot in the road called Tecopa…long faded now, not even a store anymore, but still the home of a little steepled church, a Post Office, and an old motel where one Lady, my friend Sage, still lives because she wanted her dogs with her, and this was allowed. Two miles from the Post Office are the Hot Springs feeding the Once and Future Public Baths, one for men and one for women. Very nice. Two bath houses with hot mineral water constantly flowing thru, showers, a roof on one and the other open to the sun’s rays as you relax between 10 minute soaks. There are neighboring trailer parks and resorts with spaces, small cabins, and private baths that range from extra warm to cooking hot. Watch out for the lobster effect.
Because we live in a country where the government won’t let things stay the same as they used to be, now the Baths that Chief Tecopa refused to sell, and were free for all mankind since forever, now the government is charging a fee. The water is flowing freely out of Mother Nature for the use of People who need the healing waters to ease their aches and pains.
Many of the People who live around town are poor as well as crippled, and can’t afford the fees, and it just isn’t fair that they are forced to suffer.
For the tourists who can afford the fees, I say OK, But for the local People
who need the therapeutic treatments, I say, “Give them a free pass. They get medical benefits and compensation, don’t they?”
Don’t try to change what Chief Tecopa believed in. The Baths were meant to be FREE. Why charge? I bet Tecopa is turning in his grave, don’t you???

SISTERS AND FRIENDS
A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and
visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about
the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother
clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober
glance upon her daughter.
"Don't forget your Sisters," she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the
bottom of her glass.
"They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love
your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have, you
are
still going to need Sisters. Remember to go places with them now and then;
do things with them. "Remember that 'Sisters 'means ALL the women... your
girlfriends, your daughters , and all your other women relatives
too."You'll
need other women. Women always do."
What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought. Haven't I just
gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married
woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely my husband and the family we
may
start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact with her Sisters and made
more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another,
she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew what she was
talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries
upon a woman,Sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've
learned:
THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between
you.
A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by
yourself,the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you
on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and
waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...Or come in
and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law,
sisters,sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins,
and
extended family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I.
When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the
incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would
need each other.
Every day, we need each other still.
Pass this on to all the women who help make your life meaningful. I just
did.
Short and very sweet:
There are more than twenty angels in this world. Ten are peacefully
sleeping
on clouds. Nine are playing. And one is reading her email at this moment

Nicholas says...
Some people think that Chief Tecopa of the Pauites would be greatly displeased at the actions of the State of California. They say that Chief Tecopa made an agreement with the government, that the Tecopa "Public" baths, formerly managed by Inyo County, were to be held sacred and thus remain free for any travelers of any nationality.
Some people say that the treaty is a myth. My dad says that it was real; that he used to talk with some of the children of the Pauites when they still lived up here, and it was commonly talked about. He says that the treaty was time limited, but that this fact did not detract from the idea-- the spirit-- of the arrangement.

Letter to the Editor,
PahrumpValleyTimes,11/24/06
Tecopa boycott
Gone is the laughter and happy faces once seen in this small town called Tecopa. This small hot spring town appears to be in a economic downfall.
Driving through this place last week, it appeared to be a ghost town of its former self. Chief Tecopa American Indian and generous heroic figure and founder of this once lively place willed the county hot springs to the public with a stipulation that it would be free of charge and be open always. This treaty was also recognized by the president of united states, so they say. This is not the case today.
The treaty was broken and a company called CLM (California Land Management) has taking over this once hot spring gathering place of older disabled people and not so old visitors who made the trek to this place, sometimes from 500 miles plus – each winter season. They are a commercial business with fees they now charge and the place appears to have changed forever. The locals and not-so-locals are flaming mad and are boycotting the whole town as it looks to me and many others. There are many Web sites supporting a boycott and "the people have spoken" by not going to Tecopa anymore.
Driving through the town last week, we were eyed by the Tecopa guards as we stopped to have a look at the now fenced-off hot spring building and guard shack and almost empty parking lot, which used to be full before the takeover of this once happy hot spring.
On closer look we learned also that the waters are highly bromated and much cooler than before. The manager of this place seemed to be edgy with us and impatient to get our fee. We were in no hurry to give this guy any fee because doing so would be a part of breaking a Treaty Chief Tecopa had once had with the state. Besides, all the people we once knew were gone, and looking at this guard shack and fenced off place appeared to me in my opinion looked like a prison camp rather then a place of healing.
The CLM campgrounds had around five RV campers from what we could see. This time of the season would have no less than 70 to 100 campers or more throughout the town of Tecopa. It was, to say the least, sad, as we were. The three private commercial hot springs were almost empty also. Yes, the town is in a downhill spiral economically. I mean, anyone could see that. I wondered then how much this would affect Pahrump economically as well as Shosone. After stopping and hearing some stories of a local resident we ran into on the way out of town, we heard that CLM patrols the town to see where RV campers are camping. He says the manager of CLM has said he dislikes a lot of what he sees in town and will change it. What? I asked. The wild bath out in BLM land mysteriously closed and was destroyed soon after this guy's arrival and he is now patrolling the town after hours, we heard.
Yes, in my opinion, this place is now like a controlled prison camp rather than a place of healing. We have been visiting Tecopa now for over 20 years and will go no more. We support the boycott of this place and will never return to this place we once loved. Tecopa is a ghost town now to us and will be thought of as when we think of this place. There is no more disabled persons' pool anymore, as we hear this room is being charged 20 bucks for a party pool.
Gone is the laughter and happy faces that we once knew, and gone are us who will return no longer as long as CLM is in charge. The other private campgrounds have little to offer us as they are too expensive for us and we hear in CLM's back pocket. Strange, their prices went up after CLM took over. We support all the people who boycott Tecopa. We also pray that Chief Tecopa will somehow come to this little town's rescue as he did once before.

Thank you for sending this letter to me. every time i hear things like this it saddens my heart. I drive thru Tecopa 3 to 4 times a day and have noticed the difference in the type of people that come to this little town. Boy do I miss the old ways!
I have noticed the way the water has made my skin itch the last time I visited the hot springs back when they first where OVER TAKEN! The woman that came to TAKE my money had explained to me how they put something called bromate in the water to keep it clean(what does this do to the healing minerals in the water?).

The man they call Chief?? Well he was not a chief. In fact, the real chief sent him to Tecopa to get rid of him, from the Mitchel Caverns just off I-40. That’s the headquarters of 'The Scattered Tribes'. In the early 20's, the medicine woman here, Lillian Weed, sent a message on her air waves to her people to send some help to save the hot baths for the people. The Chief had been pondering how to get rid of this little drunk and Lillian's plea gave the Chief his answer. The tribe had a naming ceremony and changed his name to Cap Tecopa, put him on the train for Tecopa with the mission to save the baths for the people. When he arrived here he went to the bar and being very funny, entertained the bar. One of the owners of the rail road (a Dr.) took a liking to this little Indian. When he learned why he had come to Tecopa, he liked the idea and had his company do just that…turn the baths over to the people. The railroad owned the land that the baths are on. I know that the Paiutes were here first but they never tried to get anything back from the whites, they just minded their manners and became good white men (like George Ross). I have talked to Tecopa's grand daughters. They live in Pahrump and even though they all swore that they had papers there was never anything in writing. I went to see them (the sisters) before they stole our baths from us. All they had was a bluff. They told me they never expected any one to call them on their bluff. The Dr. gave his handshake to seal the deal with his friend Cap Tecopa. Tecopa lived to be 106. He traveled to L.A. once and promptly got himself arrested for being drunk and spent a couple of nights in jail. When he returned to Tecopa he said that L.A. had real nice accommodations, he was sorry to have to leave, the food was good he said. This is closer to the truth then some of the stories you may have heard making the rounds here.

Calif. Couple Calls for Orgasm for Peace
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 19, 2006
Filed at 9:08 p.m. ET
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Two peace activists have planned a massive anti-war demonstration for the first day of winter.
But they don't want you marching in the streets. They'd much rather you just stay home.
The Global Orgasm for Peace was conceived by Donna Sheehan, 76, and Paul Reffell, 55, whose immodest goal is for everyone in the world to have an orgasm Dec. 22 while focusing on world peace.
''The orgasm gives out an incredible feeling of peace during it and after it,'' Reffell said Sunday. ''Your mind is like a blank. It's like a meditative state. And mass meditations have been shown to make a change.''
The couple are no strangers to sex and social activism. Sheehan, no relation to anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, brought together nearly 50 women in 2002 who stripped naked and spelled out the word ''Peace.''
The stunt spawned a mini-movement called Baring Witness that led to similar unclothed demonstrations worldwide.
The couple have studied evolutionary psychology and believe that war is mainly an outgrowth of men trying to impress potential mates, a case of ''my missile is bigger than your missile,'' as Reffell put it.
By promoting what they hope to be a synchronized global orgasm, they hope to get people to channel their sexual energy into something more positive.
The couple said interest appears strong, with 26,000 hits a day to their Web site, www.globalorgasm.org.
''The dream is to have everyone in the world (take part),'' Reffell said. ''And if that means laying down your gun for a few minutes, then hey, all the better.''

I too, was concerned that Howard Dean said they would not pursue impeachment, but I don't think that restraint will hold up once the new dems realize how unruly Bush has become as emperor. I am in California, where I registered Republican so I could vote for a trusted friend running for State Assembly in the primaries, and I found it really empowering to actually vote my conscience this time, for all the Green candidates on my state's ballot, and writing in my friend's name in spite of his having lost the primary. It feels so subversive to be a Green Republican, voting outside the box from within it, and being a spoiler where it counts...no republican but my friend got my vote, and no democrat needed it. heh heh heh!!!luv and peas, Sage--- On Fri 11/10, < 60sBeyond@yahoogroups.com > wrote:

LOCAL ELECTION RESULTS
It tickles me pink that
WE Titular Tecopans have
successfully elected
a yokel homeboy with social skills,
as Inyo County Sheriff,
thusly changing the balance of power
in our struggle for home-rule of
Our Sovereign Treaty Medicine Baths.
No longer will our Deputies
be at the beck and call
of corporate thugs
and corrupt politicians,
to intimidate hometown resistance
to outside control of
Our Traditional Bathwater Rituals.

NEWS ALERT/ Released to KPAH and PVTimes...
Hey, Harv and Phillip...we're dealing with some heavy, repercussive escalation of suspiciously conspiratorial County/CLM collusion to repress
this Community's Civil Rights. The County Supervisor(Cervantez) whom WE elected to fix the problem at the Baths, (by voiding the contract, and evicting CLM to the CampGrounds Only contract,
for a probationery 30 days.),
has been bought off, bribed by the corporation, Eric and Mrs. Mart, and is now making false accusatory statements against the Local County Workers, in a bid to take over management of the Community Center, Rook Hall. Tecopasetic Eye's are lighting up at the RadioFreeTecopa
idea...sure do wish we had it NOW,
so we could get national attention
paid to felonious and unconstitutional government abuse,
aganst the Sovereignty of Tecopa's Community Spirit.
Luv and peas, TecopasetiSage
Dear Sage,
Yes, it seems like you Tecopans could use a convenient means (public airwaves) to be able to discuss problems such as you've described. A radio station there, could be a good community resource.
We are not prepared to do anything in that respect prior to late January, about ten weeks away.
In the meantime, if there are other Tecopans that would like to tell us what they think of having a community radio station, we would love to hear from them via e-mail. Please pass this request and address on to all:
Harvey@pahrumpradio.com

KPAH comments...
Dear Sage,
Maybe the poor fellow thinks you've placed a curse on him?
It's a nice piece of art, though. We like it...
We are waiting for video editing software, before we can do anything (what, we don't know) with the tape.
As usual, we'll keep in touch.
All the best to you and the rest of the folks around Black Dog Junction,
Harvey & Gerry (not to be confused with Tom & Jerry, the cartoon characters)
P.S. We went another step forward with "Radio Free Tecopa", today. Should know more about that, in a couple weeks

TecopasetiYokelGossipChatline...
Dearly Sisterhood of the Vortex,
I hereby offer the following justifications for my Hallowe'en Action against CLM...
I think Jackie would be PROUD of me. She recognized and admired my finesse in the way I won-over Edna's good opinion of me, and I think she would have approved of the way the trick-or-treating on Victor played out. The CrankyOldBitchClan of the Sisterhood, gave me good advice and their blessings on the 'positive intent' of the use of magical symbology to power the spell...so, I knew the mask would NOT get broken in the commission of the Curse on that Roman's Head.
Having heard that Victor called the Sheriff the next morning, to whine about my scary trick on him, doesn't surprize or worry me at all, because I know that OUR Deputies are smarter than dumdum Victor gives them credit for, and probably see the Humour of it all.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

What I learned at the Hallowe'en Party
All Saint’s Day 2006
In the mundane world of Physics,
every action is believed to provoke
an equal and opposite reaction.
In the magical realm of Meta-physics, however,
a provocative action can be expected to
incite an insightful, and possibly enhanced, response.
Language is a meta-physical, as well as a political Science.
The words we use are metaphors, symbolic of thought, tools
of our instinctual need to communicate with, and connect to our fellow-travelers, a human race of mindful and spiritual Beings.
Headblind, patriarchal primitives have constructed a monotheistic, cultural paradigm which uses words like ‘God’ and ‘fatherhood’ to support a theory of masculinist supremacy, in the Heavens as on Earth, and also uses words like Bitch, Witch, and Slut, to illustrate rejection of equal but opposite conceptions, defining WomanKind as ‘the Other”, the antithesis of mankind’s Creator myths, resulting in world-wide death-cult milieu of subjugation to violence, denial, and slavery, power plays used definitively as survival of the fittest skills. People who are culturally addicted to illogical powers of controlling uncertainties, are acting out their fear of the “unknown’, the basic animal instinct of fight-or-flight, and rarely reach a synthesis of sentient understanding concerning ‘their place’ in the Life on this Planet, or in the Cosmos.
It is my opinion that ‘the Creator’s’ purpose in giving homo-sapients intelligence, is to make every Mother’s task easier..Namely, to teach Her Children to use that gift to become humane, sentient Beings, welcome on the threshold of any Cosmic Mission. Survival is not the ultimate goal of Intelligent Life on this Planet. Our Goal, (God’s plan for us?) is to learn how to evolve and ascend to a higher plane of existence, without an unnecessary fear of Death, because no energy is ever lost. refererence:http://thirdworldtraveler.com/Religion/Enough_OneGod_Stuff.html
