 (Olympia, WA) Olympia residents and City officials will plant the city green on Saturday, March 29. ONE THOUSAND (1000!) trees will sprout along Olympia’s streets and walkways in the morning. A community celebration will be held in the afternoon at the Olympia Timberland Library.
“With our innovative NeighborWoods program and in-house tree nursery, Olympia is a national leader in municipal urban forestry,” says Olympia Mayor Doug Mah. “The community enthusiasm for our 1000 Trees in One Day event has been fantastic. As of today, over 500 community volunteers have stepped forward to help, and locations for over 1,000 new trees have been identified,” says Mah.

This film on Biodynamics in India reveals the hidden battle of marginal farmers to own seeds, to grow diverse crops, to feed themselves and their communities. This film reveals how precarious our existence on this planet is, how flawed the mantra of unlimited growth in a finite world and the reality of what happens to people when we treat them as means of production.
This film will be shown March 24 from 7-9pm at Traditions Fair Trade Cafe, for more information contact Terra Commons: Michael Kelly (360) 866-1331 terracommons@gmail.com www.terracommons.us

4,000 Too Many! Come out to stand witness and mark the terrible human costs of an unnecessary war of aggression. The following is courtesy of Glen Anderson, a long time FOR organizer:
The Olympia Movement for Justice and Peace has wanted to mark the 4,000th U.S. military death in Iraq. During its meeting on Wednesday evening March 26, OMJP decided to mark this milestone by participating in the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation’s regularly scheduled peace vigil this coming Friday the 28th from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at the south end of Percival Landing (4th & Water), in downtown Olympia.
The Olympia FOR is happy to welcome OMJP’s participation. We’re also welcoming some local supporters of the Tibetan people’s longing for cultural autonomy and respect. From time to time other groups participate in the Olympia FOR’s vigil, and we like to let new folks know about this Olympia tradition. We have been vigiling there since November 1998 – initially seeking to raise public awareness of the economic sanctions the previous Bush and Clinton imposed against Iraq.
The Olympia FOR has worked in our local community since 1976 (32 years) to promote peace and social justice. The FOR’s international level (www.ifor.org) and national level (www.forusa.org) have worked courageously and nonviolently since 1914-1915 (beginning of world War I). The FOR has nonviolently opposed all wars from World War I onward.

 Ever watched one-man sculling boats glide through Puget Sound? Want to learn to row? Now's your chance!
In sculling, each rower uses two oars. In sweep rowing, each rower has one oar.
Note: The class is taught over a span of four days, but I didn't want to clutter the calendar. This is the second offering of 2008.

City of Olympia Urban Forestry
Just as the one billion trees planted worldwide through the Green Belt Movement were not planted by one person or one group of people, but rather by many people in many organizations throughout the world, so too will these 1000 new members of Olympia's community be planted on Saturday, March 29, 2008, by people from all walks of life, in all parts of the City, representing the diversity of citizens that comprise our community.

After a long year's layoff forced by construction projects, the best balabosta in South Sound will square off on Sunday, March 30, in a heavyweight championship match designed to prove who can cook the best kugel, a Jewish noodle pudding. It's all part of the 2008 Blintzapalooza, a festival of exquisitely tasty Jewish food and the best used book sale in South Sound. Delicacies on sale will include blintzes and toppings, lox and cream cheese bagels, and breakfast beverages. It all gets under way at 10 a.m. at Temple Beth Hatfiloh in downtown Olympia. (The book sale starts one-half hour earlier at 9:30 a.m.) The Kugel Kookoff rules are simple: Bring kugel in a flat 8-inch (or so) baking dish to Temple Beth Hatfiloh at 8th and Washington by 11 a.m. to enter the contest.
