About Me
- Frieda Artz
- Born Oak Bluffs, MA. March of 1943 in a blizzard in the Foyer of the Old Martha's Vineyard Hospital. 11th Generation Vineyarder, Brought myself up with a little help from my mother, father, brother, not sure about my sister, :-) and family friends and finally friends. Found a home in the Art dept. at UMB in the 80's. Worked as a nurse for many years. Degree in Art/Art History, but have forgotten most of it. Now I'm told I'm a Writer and glad to be told that. I hope to be told I'm an Artist, if I could find the time to create a little ART. In the meantime I'm enjoying life each day, trying to be kind to myself and others. Hoping and working for World Peace, A Healthy Ecosystem, etc. by working locally and being vocal, sometimes. Join Me.
LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME EXCITING AND INSIGHTFULL DISCUSSION AND SOME GREAT ART....
ReplyDeleteBE WELL
Very good. Who's Tom?
ReplyDeleteNorma, This is great! Now amp it up with discussions on FOGMR, your relationship with Skip, and the bow and razor-tipped arrow hunts.Do those things hurt, BTW?? John.
ReplyDeleteJon:
ReplyDeleteOf course, they hurt. Shouldn't you have put a bit more separation between that and Frieda's relationship with Skip?
Another appeal. I hope this will do the trick so I can begin to get this blog going. FAN (Frieda Artz Now)
ReplyDeleteHello again Friends,
People who oppose the Controlled Deer Hunt at Garret and Rifle Camp Park are making multiple phone calls and sending multiple e-mails to the Freeholders and to the Director of Parks. Let us, The Friends of Garret Mountain Reservation, no matter what county or state you live in, be considerate of the Freeholders and of the Parks Director.
Please print out your e-mail letter of support for the hunt and send it to:
All Members of the Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders
401 Grand Street
Paterson, NJ 07505
Let us support the resolution, voted on by Freeholders: Terry Duffy, Bruce James, Greyson P. Hannigan and Pat Lepore, to conduct a Controlled Deer Hunt. Their courage in the face of opposition and their determination to restore the health of the forest, the deer herd and the habitat for birds, mammals and other animals in Garret and Rifle Camp Park deserves our support. Let these four Freeholders who voted Yes know they have your support.
Please encourage the three new Freeholders, Deborah E. Ciambrone, Michael Marotta, and Edward O'Connell to be courageous as well and lend their support to the other four.
Let the Public and the Freeholders know that we stand together, the Seven Freeholders, the Director of Parks, Ray Wright, Sheriff Jerry Speciale and The Friends of Garret Mountain Reservation, in support of this necessary and humane hunt whose object is to reduce the deer herd in order to prevent the complete destruction of the forest and plants in the two Parks.
When the size of the herd is reduced to sustainable numbers the forest can begin healing. With time and fewer deer, the trees and native plants may begin to regrow. The plants, animals, and birds who use the park for shelter, nesting, resting and as a food source will all, along with human users of the park, benefit from the restoration of a healthy ecosystem in Garret and Rifle Camp Park.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE FREEHOLDERS. SUPPORT THE CONTROLLED DEER HUNT. SAVE GARRET MOUNTAIN RESERVATION AND RIFLE CAMP PARK.
Please write to the Freeholders at the above address and copy your letter to the Freeholders to the Record. Send your letters and copies of your letters to:
LettersToTheEditor@northjersey.com
You need to include your name, address and daytime phone number so The Record can verify your comments. Address your comments to "Your Views"
Please send this to all birders and concerned citizens and ask them to show their support for the hunt.
Thank you very much for your past and future efforts to Save Garret and Rifle Camp Parks, Norma N. Holmes
Friends of Garret Mountain Reservation
1/21/10 Paul’s 72nd Birthday. Happy Birthday Paul!
ReplyDeleteWhat follows is the situation I often find myself in upon waking. Trying to write down, remember, hold on to, the visuals, the words, the poems, the descriptions I create in my dreams/early-waking -state of mind. I offer this to you, as I wrote it, unedited, in the form of a journal or blog. Make of it what you will.
7:35 a.m. FRUSTRATION, UPON WAKING
Woke/dreaming of a poem and visual to put on the Blog.
CHGault house visual: which sits to the right of my new house on Spruce Ave, OB.
When I look to my right, I’m proud to be an American.
When I think about The Right (Wing) in America today....
The Weight of the issues causes me to
Wait for the Wisdom to
Whisper my opinion in the
Wilderness of Cyberspace.
Visual: Google Earth above my house at 11 Spruce Ave, CHGault’s house to my right and Whoeveritis’ house to my left.
“Drop Down Mamma, Let your Daddy See
Just What’s Been Happening to ME”
The poem I wrote in the last minutes of dreaming,
While lying, eyes closed in my bed-
Has vanished into the far (deep) recesses of my brain.
Forgotten it rests, like the dead,
Treasured, Nearly forgotten,
Fighting to live in my memory,
Beside remnants of other dreams partially encountered in a waking state.
Awake with eyes and mind open, lying there,
I carefully consturcted a visual poem
With words and photos
Clever word play.
Gone now.
Without the future computer technology
that will tap into my creative mind, I am:
An aspiring poet, an eager artist to be.
The ckever words and exact phrasing
Sit with the dead, buried in my mind.
The time is wrong on the Blog. The posting happened around 815 a.m.

Wow! Paul is 72. Who woulda thunk it. Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHey Freida, I don't think that the person who owns the blog puts their major items in the comment section.
ADD MY BEST WISHES TO PAUL ON HIS SPECIAL BIRTHDAY AS WELL....
ReplyDeletePAUL, ANY NEW ART TO CELEBRATE?
