I am sure there is someone out there who could promote/publish something of this nature. The artists, writers, etc. could hold all copyrights, and release just for this publication, initially.

Please note that the following mail came to me March 31. If it isn't too late, please contact your FLORIDA LEGISLATORS and tell them what you think of the following.... Compassionate conservatism in Florida (Land of Nothing Free and Home of the Bushes) : -----Original Message----- Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2001 8:34 AM To: undisclosed-recipients: Subject: Fla.House cuts dental, hearing and visual aid to minors This alert comes from Karen Woodall, a veteran lobbyist of more than 20 years who has devoted herself to social justice issues. Karen has seen a lot legislative carnage and does not often react emotionally to events there. Today, however, is an exception. See the information below on how to contact your legislator. Today, Friday, the Florida House of Representatives voted to restrict access to dental, hearing and visual aid for very low income people to those under 21 years of age. They also voted to change the law to reduce coverage for people over 65 and people with disabilities from 100% of the Federal Poverty level to 90%. There was a lot of smoke and mirrors going on here....on the one hand the leadership offered an amendment to restore the cuts made to reduce pregnant women from 185% of poverty to 150% and to restore funding for seniors and people with disabilities from 85% to 90% - both cuts that were made in the appropriations sub-committee. Attempts to restore funding for dental,hearing and visual assistance to very low-income adults failed. What wasn't mentioned was the fact that they adopted WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DISCUSSION language in the "Medicaid implementing bill" HB 1753 by Maygarden,language that reduces the eligibility for Seniors and people with disabilities from 100% to 90% making it impossible to increase the budget beyond 90% of the Federal Poverty level - 100% of poverty for a single person is $8,590. Florida increased the eligibility level for these very low income folks to 100% of poverty in 1988. In 1991 funding was reduced to 90% via proviso in the budget. The reduction was promised to be "temporary". Well, here it is 2001 and the budget has never been restored to the full 100%. So, instead of increasing the budget the House leadership is attempting to change the statute to reflect the abysmal funding. Twenty-one other states fund elderly and disabled with incomes at or above the federal poverty level. Mississippi funds them at 135%!!!! It was stated on the House floor that we should not worry about this cut because last year Florida led the nation in passing an innovative prescription drug bill providing coverage to Seniors who were between 90% and 120% of poverty - therefore those who were being cut off of Medicaid (between 90 & 100%) will be covered. What wasn't mentioned on the Floor of the House, by anyone from EITHER PARTY, is the fact that coverage under the "Model Prescription Drug Act" is MUCH MORE LIMITED than is Medicaid. First, there is a 10% co-pay on the purchase of every drug and second there is a limit of $80 a month per person. The Agency for Health Care Administration has stated that the average cost per month for the folks who are in the MEDS-AD program is $486 per month.....so the House is now asking people who live on $8,590 a month to fork over at least $406 a month....SUCH A BARGAIN and innovative too! IF HB 1753 is not amended to restore eligibility for Seniors and people with disabilities to 100% and to restore coverage for visual, dental and hearing for adults over 21 years of age IT SHOULD BE DEFEATED NEXT WEEK WHEN IT IS UP FOR A FINAL VOTE!! EVERY HOUSE MEMBER NEEDS TO BE CONTACTED WITH THIS MESSAGE EARLY IN THE WEEK.

Wow, Tyla thank you so very much !! And since we have a child it really makes things easier. :-) Needless to say we are quite used to CHASING those screaming heathens. (pun intended) :-) No really, we do love having the opportunity to contribute to the growth of our family. Especially working with the children. They are our future and will be the ones pushing around our wheel chairs. Suzanne & I have some wonderful new ideas for Fires @ Solstice for the children and look forward to sharing them. Needless to say as our son grows so does Gaia's Garden. Again, thank you to the community for the donations, face painting and smiling faces. We could not do it without you.

Once more, I'm completely off the subject because I'm so far behind on reading all of the messages, but... I am desperately searching for a used medieval or renaissance style tent/pavillion, and am running out of places to look... anyone have any ideas? Since the merchants at the festivals use this style of tent, I thought someone out there might know someone who knows someone who is selling theirs. LOL And because I'm so far behind, if you could email me directly at oakwind@usa.net I would really appreciate it. Oh, and I love the chocolate pie fight!

Of couse, if that does not get everyone attending then we'll have to try something else because I for one, would make an awful tyrant dictator. Seriously though, it is a very touchy subject. "Requirements" are avoided like a disease by some....and that is their perfect right. I think that the only thing that would be realistic would be to have the persons working registration make verbal announcements to those who register. They could say something like, "Your voice can be heard by the community at village meetings/tribal council.....are you familiar with these events?" We can trust that the voices that are supposed to be heard, will be. We are are a magickal community...those who attend the meetings and those who do not. There IS a circle within a circle. Just my comments are given here.....no judgements...only perceptions. Accept what you will and trash what you do not like. and blessed blee Mino i certainly did not mean to imply making village meetings mandatory or anything like that. if they were, i certainly wouldn't attend. it's just that people always talk about what a great community we have at festivals but hardly any one shows up for the 2 things that truly make up the community, the village meeting and the village council, the 2 opportunities where each individual has an input on the parameters that make up the community. it's something that has puzzled me for the 10 years that i have been attending pagan festivals. one of my 2 pet peeves.

I don't think that there was necessarily any connection with the ritual. Friday nights drumming was among the BEST i have EVER heard at a gathering.

I am wondering about a Phoenix publication once each year to help make $$$ for the community Land fund...I bet we can get folks to contribute. That could include ritual, ritual pieces (e.g. quarters), poetry, drawings, music, etc. What is the community thought? I am sure there is someone out there who could promote/publish something of this nature. The artists, writers, etc. could hold all copyrights, and release just for this publication, initially. Does anyone remember the old journal, "The Crystal Well"? Perhaps something along this line, and we could sell to those outside of the Phamily. (Or to othose inside of the phamily, too!!!) I did layout, etc. in the old cut and paste days...like with a light table, and real paper and paste...LOL...the computer would make this kind of endeavor a bit less difficult. Oh, well, just an idea... Blessings, Tyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Any comments? Maybe it would be wise to take pre orders. That way you aren't left with charms and no buyer. I would love to order one just let me know what to do.

Hope to see you there! SpellQuest ~~~~~ "DRUMMING AT THE RANCH" SATURDAY APRIL 7TH GATES OPEN AT 2:00 PM THIS EVENT IS FREE Sponsored by: "The Melbourne Drum Tribe" and "Pagan Pathway Community" The festivities will begin at 2:00 PM everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy 100 acres of beautiful land, bring your tent and spend the night, come out and walk around, get away from the hum drum of the city, and enjoy a beautiful day, go exploring, you never know what you might find out there, I have seen Deer, Wild Turkey's, and much more, but what's important is what you find within yourself, for that is where it counts. This is a BYOE which means bring your own everything, this is a primitive site, and that being said what you bring in will be expected to be taken back out when we leave. If you have never been out at the Ranch, you will be in for a wonderful surprise, this is a safe environment, that we have been graciously allowed to used, and each time that we have had an event out there it has been better then the one before. It will be a potluck dinner so bring something that you can share. Bring your instruments, bring your voice, bring your laughter, bring your heart and mind, for they will all be used as we come together as individuals, as we come together as friends. Cauldron of Fire will be facilitating the Full Moon Ritual On a seperate note, we will also be celebrating the 40th birthday of one of the people who allows us to use this land, namely my brother, so make sure you tell him Happy Birthday, when you see, and for those of you who have never met my brother, you will know him instantly.

Having just finished licking the whipped cream off of her arms (mmmmmmmm...delicious. Thanks, Miss Crow!) Starfire finds her clothes, gets dressed and walks to the local WalMart. The people there look at her strangely. Starfire realizes that, while her arms are clean, the rest of her body is not! She gets a look in a handy mirror and realizes also that her hair is now standing straight up, thanks to the whipped cream!(Quite a feat, I know. Good aim, Miss Crow!) Hmmmmm..... Starfire takes a detour to the ladies' room and washes off the best that she can. Now she's wet, but presentable! She goes back out into the store to the toy section, and gets three super soakers off of the shelf. She swings around to the food section and gets........ (drumroll, please) White Zinfandel, Strawberry milk, and.......chocolate syrup! And of course, more chocolate pudding! Starfire pays for her purchases and leaves the Walmart. On her way back to the garden, she loads the three super-soakers. She sneaks back into the garden, sheds her clothes, and searches for targets...... She spies Miss Crow sneaking through the undergrowth! Takes aim, fires.... SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT! Miss Crow is now covered in chocolate syrup! LOL Love you Miss Crow Starfire ;-) --- In phoenixfestivals@y..., "Miss Crow" <jwncrow@h...> wrote: All right now..... Crow rummages in her bag of tricks and pulls out....(no, not a rabbit - she tosses the fluffy thing away gently, and it scampers off into the depths of the wild Garden) two spray cans of whipped cream. "Hrmmm.... a little retro, but it'll do," she says, smirking, before shrieking the war cry of the long-lost Hir-shi tribe and splattering Starfire and Lyl with nitrous-powered sweetness! ;-P ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Your use of Yahoo!
