[via omjp] Dear Friends, Local, long-time labor and media activist, Clint Burelson has spent the past few months researching a very disturbing national trend: the privatization - through outsourcing - of our public mail system. This trend is about to escalate as part of an extensive plan to consolidate US Postal Service facilities nation wide. Locally, outgoing mail - which is currently processed at the "Olympia" facility in Tumwater - will now be sent to Tacoma for processing. The media, including today's Olympian, portray this plan as an improvement in cost-saving and efficiency. This, despite the fact that Clint has provided to them (including the writer in today's Olympian) ample documentation that the trend, in fact, constitutes corporate profiteering which reduces efficiency, and increasing costs to the average citizen while reducing service to that citizen.
To learn more, listen to KAOS, There will also be an article by Clint on this topic in the April issue of Works In Progress. But WIP will not have space to cover the issue nearly as in-depth as Clint will do on Free and Fair tomorrow. So, be sure to tune in if you can! In Solidarity, Sandy | ||

Keith Knight is a writer, rapper (with Marginal Prophets) media activist, and award-winning cartoonist whose nationally-syndicated weekly comic strips, the K Chronicles and (th)ink, can be found in newspapers, magazines and websites across the country. He is also a collaborator on a new book/project out of the New Orleans-based Crossroads Project called the Beginner's Guide to Community-Based Arts and has been recently traveling across the country promoting the organization and their grassroots work in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Knight is part of a new generation of talented young African American artists raised on hip hop; artists who infuse their work with urgency, edge, humor, satire, politics and race. Knight incorporates these same ingredients into his multi-media presentations, displaying some of his favorite cartoons. Knight's talent, humor, and energy infuse discussions on race and racial stereotyping, diversity, media, youth and student empowerment, the corporate erosion of creativity and other contemporary issues. Join us in welcoming Keith to Evergreen and come for an evening of what, to quote from XLR8R magazine, promises to be a "groundbreaking mix of D.I.Y. urban youth culture and biting social commentary."

Mellington Cartwright (a.k.a. Melissa Sanborn) April 6 - 20, 2006 The talent and dedication of graduating senior Mellington Cartwright is being celebrated in an exhibition at Evergreen Galleries, The Evergreen State College. Mellington was selected from among a strong group of applicants to participate in Senior Thesis Projects, and received the Mabel Young Mark Memorial Scholarship in recognition of exceptional achievement in visual art. Her metal sculpture will be exhibited in Gallery 4 from April 6-20, with an opening reception Wednesday, April 5, from 7 to 9 p.m. The exhibition’s title, Memoria Technica, refers to devices that aid in preserving memory. Working primarily in bronze and sterling, Mellington creates sculptures that explore the sentimentality that lies within our memories. Her art draws the focus away from the psychological and scientific properties of a memory, towards a magical sense of nostalgia. Inspired by her own worldly travels and questions of identity, Mellington reveals to the viewer a journey of both physical and transcendent nature. Serpentine patterns suggest the curve of a balloon string in the wind – or a meandering road. Straightforward design is combined with subtle details to illustrate the archetypal journey, and to bring forth the viewer’s own reminiscences of the past. | ||

Public Presentation Today (Weds April 12 12-1pm, Lecture Hall 3) by Dr. Larry Goodridge "A virus killed my E. coli!! And other wonderful tales of controlling foodborne pathogens with bacteriophages." Dr. Goodridge’s research group focuses on the development of verifiable on-farm Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) methods to control E. coli O157:H7 contamination in cattle, as a primary step in reducing the production of E. coli O157:H7 contaminated meat. Within this focus is a broad interest in the use of bacteriophages to control and detect bacterial pathogens in the animal environment. Specific projects include the use of phage therapy to reduce the amount of cattle that shed E. coli O157:H7 in their feces, and the development of rapid, reporter–bacteriophage, non-instrument based assays to detect cattle that actively shed E. coli O157:H7.

Working primarily in bronze and sterling, Mellington creates sculptures that explore the sentimentality that lies within our memories. Her art draws the focus away from the psychological and scientific properties of a memory, towards a magical sense of nostalgia. Inspired by her own worldly travels and questions of identity, Mellington reveals to the viewer a journey of both physical and transcendent nature. Serpentine patterns suggest the curve of a balloon string in the wind – or a meandering road. Straightforward design is combined with subtle details to illustrate the archetypal journey, and to bring forth the viewer’s own reminiscences of the past. Start: 7:00 pm
Russian Animator Nina Shorina will be presenting her films as part of the Spring Evergreen Expressions series on Monday night, April 17th (week 3) at 7pm in the Recital Hall. The event is free and is also part of the Artists' Works Series for the program Animated Visions: Allegories of Resistance taught by Pat Krafcik and Leonard Schwartz. From 1976 to 1994 Shorina worked as an animator for the Soyuzmultfilm studio of Moscow, producing several films that examined or critiqued life under Soviet rule. These include "Door", a study of the collapse of boundaries between public and private wrought by Perestroika, "Dream" , a critique of nostalgia infused views of Soviet society and "Alter Ego", a study of the relationship of art to everyday life via self-portraiture. | ||
