Terrific Concert at Sun Meadow Resort!

By admin at 10:18 am on October 31, 2004 | No comments

November 13th is going to be a special day. Sun Meadow Productions presents Canadian Folk icon James Gordon to the resort for a live after dinner show! Tickets are available from Sun Meadow office for $8. Here's a recent write up on James to wet your musical appetite! Plugged In by: MIKE BEGGS of the Brampton Guardian.com If there is a latter day Canadian folk icon, James Gordon just 05 be it. The Guelph, Ontario-based singer/songwriter/guitarist has released more than 30 albums between his time with the respected band Tamarack, and his more recent solo works, while becoming a familiar figure on CBC-Radio shows like Basic Black. [At Sun Meadow he will sing solo and accompany himself on guitar and banjo.] Indeed, his song Frobisher Bay was named Favorite Canadian Roots Song in a recent CBC Radio contest. Gordon's latest CD Endomusia (on Borealis Records) has earned his best Stateside airplay to date, cracking the Top 30 on U.S. folk radio. Based way in the folk tradition, it includes a tribute to child murder victim Randal Dooley, a gutbusting protest song againt the new smoking regulations, and tales of his own life in on the road in Impossible Disguise. He's just off a trip to the Maritimes, where he was teaching songwriting in the schools. He works with every class on a different theme, and at the end an album is recorded. In this way, some of the area's history is recaptured. Gordon did much the same thing for years with Tamarack, researching about the towns they passed through. "It's kind of a neat thing to immerse yourself in a community for a while," he said. "I've grown to learn there's a need out there for people to learn about themselves, and their identity. It's a thrill for me." Gordon is among those Canadian acts bent on boosting the nation's fragile self-image. "We're so overwhelmed by U.S. culture," he said. "I tour a lot in in the U.S. and they say, "You sound so Canadian". They see it, we don't." Much as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, he grew up on the music of stellar Ontario songwriters like Willie P. Bennett, and David Essig. "They took what came before, and carved out their own niche in Canadian music," he said. "The fact you can have a regional sound of international interest is what I've always strived for." More recently, Gordon has found himself, "wanting to work on a bigger canvas." Among other side projects, he penned the folk opera Hardscrabble Road, and has three other pieces of musical theatre on the go (including one in Tunbridge On Wells, England). In the past year, he also released the CD, The Song The River Sings commissioned by the Canadian Heritage River Society. "I've always written songs for rivers," he said. "I (was given) 12 Canadian rivers to focus upon." </td>

AANR-NW Government Affairs Team (GAT) Fundraiser Submitted by: Shirley Gauthier The first online AANR-NW GAT fundraiser made possible by Henry Yuen's donation of a watercolor painting raised over $600. Henry Yuen sketches everyday scenes of people at work and play and translates his sketches in watercolor paintings, stenciled or pochoir prints and silk-screened prints. His naturist art has been published three times on the cover of N magazine and shown in a Danish exhibition. Henry has been generous in donating art in the past to promote, protect and preserve nudist rights. Check out <a href=http://www.hevanet.com/hjlyuen/>http://www.hevanet.com/hjlyuen/</a> Henry has once again donated a beautiful painting to GAT. At the AANR-NW Fall Board meeting held at Fraternity Snoqualmie it was decided this beautiful painting would become our first traveling fundraiser. We named the painting "The Henry" and Sharon McLeod volunteered to take "The Henry" on its first leg of its journey. The final destination and drawing for the lucky winner will be the AANR-NW convention, July 1-4, 2005 at Restful Haven near North Plains, Oregon.

AANR Weekly Report for October 15, 2004

By admin at 7:10 am on October 16, 2004 | No comments

Edited by Mel Kanner AANR-NW Trustee ———————————————————— ————————— AANR Weekly Report for October 15, 2004 From the desk of Erich Schuttauf, Executive Director: <a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=xlGhTliqWfzJ1YYW5GMM-rnHV1CtWpUqkXAydoQUDq-3mnGuJylwWzuzrFid5aQOyOdJp1ecAWw>Execdir@aanr.com</a> <mailto:<a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=xlGhTliqWfzJ1YYW5GMM-rnHV1CtWpUqkXAydoQUDq-3mnGuJylwWzuzrFid5aQOyOdJp1ecAWw>Execdir@aanr.com</a>> International Naturist Federation Passes Resolution Denouncing Virginia House Bill 158 As you know, a portion of your membership dues helps fund AANR presence in the International Naturist Federation—a veritable "United Nations" of countries who, collectively, support nudism and naturism all over the world. Automatic membership in this organization is reflected with the INF seal on your membership card, which entitles you to discounts when visiting clubs and resorts abroad. Recently, Dean Hadley of Cypress Cove—AANR's delegate to the Federation—returned from attending the bi-annual World Congress at Valalta Resort in Croatia (<a href=http://www.valalta.hr/>http://www.valalta.hr/</a> <<a href=http://www.valalta.hr/>http://www.valalta.hr/</a>> ). He brought with him a resolution signed by over 30 officials, representing twenty one countries as well as key committees like INF Youth and INF Europe, which denounces Virginia's HB 158 and urges its "repeal as soon as possible." The Resolution noted that in prohibiting the operation of camps for young naturists unless a parent attends, HB 158 is "completely contrary to the INF's recognition of the human right to functional nudity in natural surroundings.for all persons provided that it takes place in appropriate settings." This resolution 05 well come in handy as AANR and AANR East pursue channels to challenge this law. Many thanks to Dean and to the Federation for assisting with this strong show of support. AANR Responds to Story of "The Streaking Congressman" This week countless newspapers and media outlets carried the story of a tightly contested Congressional race in Texas that 05 be impacted by reports that four term Republican Congressman Pete Sessions took part in a college streaking event about 30 years ago! Challenger Rep. Martin Frost, also a longtime Congressman who's opposing Sessions after state re-districting altered his constituency. Frost's camp reportedly noted that "Sessions exposed himself to children and strangers" albeit with about 200 other Southwest Texas State University students back in 1974 and that it was therefore hypocritical for Sessions to have publicly condemned the Janet Jackson incident during last year's Super Bowl. You can read one version of the story from the Houston Chronicle here: <a href=http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/284251>http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/284251</a> 7 <<a href=http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/28425>http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/28425</a> 17> Believing that the story presented an opportunity to discuss our position on nude recreation with the Bureau Chief who prepared the piece, our office mailed the following letter along with copies of a "Nude 5k Run" release and AANR Press Kit. We view this as a natural extension of our mission and appreciate all the work that you our clubs and volunteers do to help us advance that mission. October 14, 2004 Thomas Korosec Bureau Chief Houston Chronicle 400 S Record St Ste 850 Dallas, TX 75202-4884 Re: '1974 Streakin Pete story provokes more attacks' article online at Houston Chronicle.com. Dear Mr. Korosec, As Executive Director of the American Association for Nude Recreation, I appreciate this opportunity to comment on the above-referenced article. With roots dating to 1931, our Association has grown to represent nearly 50,000 members and their families throughout North America who enjoy recreation and relaxation au naturel within appropriate settings. With these many years of experience, those in the Association recognize that a good sense of humor is helpful when initiating a dialog on the subject of what we do. I appreciated the sense of levity that your article brings to a tense time when elections at the presidential, congressional, and local level have our nation at a crossroads. While enjoying your piece, it occurred to me that the story about Representative Sessions could also present a useful backdrop for explaining the popularity of nude recreation and dispelling a few misconceptions about it. First, anyone who has given clothes-freedom a try at one of our 270 clubs and resorts—or any one of the 54 million plus people who've gone skinny-dipping according to a Roper poll—would echo Mr. Sessions' comments to the San Antonio News back in 1974: "Just taking off your clothes and running around is kind of a free spirit thing." Shedding your clothes can be a very natural, freeing, experience and it is fun and enjoyable. That's what so many have found when they try a vacation with us, where they pack a little less and relax a little more. The enclosed article from The Wall St. Journal notes just how many people go clothes-free and the $400 million scope of our industry. Second, what sets our favorite form of recreation apart from Janet Jackson's Super Bowl halftime episode or a college streak is that our members practice it within appropriate settings. These range from AANR clubs, to our families' fenced back yards and private swimming pools, to recognized nude beaches. Such places and circumstances make our nudity unlikely to be viewed by others who would be offended or uncomfortable. Third, although we believe it's important to disrobe only in appropriate settings to avoid offending others, we trust you'll agree that the "explosive" reaction to the Jackson and Sessions stories are evidence that too few people are comfortable with the human body. Finally, to those who would like to try running in the nude (or try it again) we offer a creative alternative.

The Streaking Texas Congressman

By admin at 9:51 pm on October 15, 2004 | No comments

AANR AANR Responds to Story of "The Streaking Congressman" {Taken from the weekly AANR report} This week countless newspapers and media outlets carried the story of a tightly contested Congressional race in Texas that 05 be impacted by reports that four term Republican Congressman Pete Sessions took part in a college streaking event about 30 years ago! Challenger Rep. Martin Frost, also a longtime Congressman who's opposing Sessions after state re-districting altered his constituency. Frost's camp reportedly noted that "Sessions exposed himself to children and strangers" albeit with about 200 other Southwest Texas State University students back in 1974 and that it was therefore hypocritical for Sessions to have publicly condemned the Janet Jackson incident during last year's Super Bowl. You can read one version of the story from the Houston Chronicle here: <a href=http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2842517>http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2842517</a> See the rest of the story with this week's upcoming AANR weekly newsletter. -pt </td>

Wreck Beach Alert

By admin at 7:17 pm on October 6, 2004 | No comments

——=_NextPart_000_000A_01C4ABE9.F20833D0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just received an email from Judy Williams thanking AANR-NW for our financial contribution to the legal struggle pertaining to Wreck Beach. In addition to the financial help Judy asked if we could forward the NAC alert to our members. Please post the attached which I have cut and pasted from her NAC alert information. Shirley Gauthier AANR-NW Government Affairs Team (GAT) solicits your support. Submitted by: Shirley Gauthier AANR-NW GAT Chair At the AANR-NW Fall Board meeting held at Fraternity Snoqualmie October 2, we voted to contribute $500 the Wreck Beach Preservation Society legal defense fund. Judy Williams wrote expressing appreciation for our financial contribution. In addition to financial help she asks for our immediate help with the following. Judy asked that I forward the NAC alert. I have cut and pasted the following. We thank Judy and NAC for their work to encourage our membership to help and support. The threat to the character and possible future existence of Wreck Beach has reached a point of crisis. In close cooperation with the Wreck Beach Preservation Society (WBPS), the Naturist Action Committee (NAC) is requesting your immediate participation in a grass roots battle to preserve Wreck Beach. NAC is asking you to send e-mail and postal correspondence to regional authorities who control the fate of Wreck Beach. Read on for details. BACKGROUND Wreck Beach in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, is one of the most beautiful clothing-optional beaches in the world. It wraps nearly 8 km. around the Point Grey peninsula and is framed by spectacular forested cliffs. Above those cliffs lies the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC). Presently the pristine forested cliffs above the beach hide any university buildings from view, giving beachgoers a natural backdrop that approaches wilderness, despite close proximity to the city. This precious heritage view greeted Captain George Vancouver centuries ago and is still enjoyed by boaters and people who visit the tidal flats today. For years, UBC campus development has threatened the natural character of the adjacent foreshore and cliffs. But this year University officials literally went "over the top" when they began construction of the first of four intended 20-story Marine Residence student towers, only hundreds of feet from the cliff edge, overlooking the most popular area of the beach. Started with virtually no public consultation, the construction planning has triggered a public outcry, with the WBPS pointing to specific environmental impacts. Those include: 1) inevitable bird strikes on tall buildings 2) the potential for cliff erosion and the beach-threatening solutions that will surely be proposed to protect the new construction from the effect of such erosion. More than any other issue, the potential loss of the wilderness-like setting has captured the attention of naturists and nature lovers from around the world. Simply put, the construction of towers looming over the beach would forever change the character of Wreck Beach. The Wreck Beach Preservation Society is asking the official stewards of the beach, the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) and other regional authorities to protect the public park from this irreparable loss. The concerns of the Wreck Beach Preservation Society are shared by many. As this NAC Action Alert is being released, nearly 20,000 petition signatures have been collected as validation of the WBPS position. NAC ASKS ALL CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS TO CONTACT THE FOLLOWING AUTHORITIES Send correspondence to as many as possible. Send postal mail, e-mail – or BOTH! So that the Wreck Beach Preservation Society 05 have a record of your contact, please send a copy of each e-mailed letter to: <a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=px4BRfIsORBwtlqBdw3nsk9nsKOZrTFQklhjQOqx0h0fU6PUBqo989NnEuGXgIhQWXFfxb_OI9HK1g>judyw@wreckbeach.org</a> 1) GVRD-UBC JOINT COMMITTEE c/o Paulette Vetleson, Corporate Secretary to the Joint GVRD-UBC Committee 4330 Kingsway, Burnaby, B.C.

NAC is asking ALL CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS to e-mail or write. This includes residents of the US, as well as those who live in Canada and elsewhere. Vancouver and UBC pride themselves on their international appeal. WHAT SHOULD I SAY? When you write, be sure to give your name and address. Anonymous correspondence is typically ignored. Be polite. Carefully express your outrage and your resentment, if you wish, but avoid threats and name-calling. In your message, state very clearly that you OPPOSE the proposed towers, as well as the height of the first tower now under construction. SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER Please use your own words. You 05 simply and respectfully ask decision-makers to consider the requests of the Wreck Beach Preservation Society, or you 05 elaborate on any of the following points 1) The need to protect the environment from irreparable harm has been inadequately addressed. Those rushing the construction of the towers have brushed off concerns about cliff stability and such environmental concerns as eagle habitat. 2) Geotechnical and environmental studies have been released to the GVRD, but UBC has withheld those studies from the public. The University MUST make all of this information available to the Wreck Beach Preservation Society and to the public. What legitimate purpose is served by hiding the studies? 3) GVRD, entrusted with stewardship of Wreck Beach, must be encouraged to continue its efforts to prevent the loss of one of Vancouver's most beautiful and unspoiled viewscapes of forested cliffs by the sea. 4) Months ago, WBPS raised a small blimp to the height of the 20-storey buildings and demonstrated that the towers would hulk quite visibly above the tree line. UBC refused to accept that result, but now will allow no one else to prove or disprove it, although they claim their blimp raised in June was not visible from the beach. If University officials believe the Wreck Beach Preservation Society is mistaken about the overshadowing profiles of the towers to be imposed on the beach, then those University officials should be happy to have WBPS proven wrong! UBC MUST allow GVRD staff to raise an impartial blimp to the 20-storey height within the footprint for each site of the three remaining proposed towers. 5) There is an unaddressed need for storm water management to avoid cliff erosion. 6) There is a desperate need for a full, transparent public process regarding the design and heights of the three remaining towers, as well as the height of Tower #1 now under construction. The University MUST immediately become the good neighbor it has claimed to be.
