Subject: BAJ: WED 6/12 HOPE TAYLOR - FIGHTING FOR OUR WATER! + TPC report
To: Jerry Markatos <markatos@mindspring.com>



Public pressure is impeding the NC Legislature's
mad rush to trash environmental rules and permanently
contaminate water supplies across NC for short term profit.

Hear veteran environmental defender and advocate Hope Taylor,
Executive Director of Clean Water for North Carolina, prepare us
to defend our state and biosphere from the major threats of
privatization, fracking, regulatory rollbacks and irresponsible
legislation.

Please invite others you know who support carcinogen-free
food and water, and North Carolina's future!

*Several weeks ago a number of BAJ members responded *
*to our call for contributions to help The Peoples Channel send*
*Rachel Hazlett to the national conference of *
*Alliance for Community Media.  I didn't know it at the time, *
*but our $350 contribution would be decisive in allowing Rachel *
*to **attend that dynamic San Francisco conference.*
*
*
*Rachel will give us a brief picture of the gathering,*
*and its significance to public access channels like Chapel Hill's*
*Channel 8, as well as community stations like WCOM, both*
*of which broadcast several independent media programs.*

*
*In that same category is a possible community station *

*FCC openings for Low Power FM Stations.*

  DIRECTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF CHAPEL HILL:
    106 Purefoy Road, in Chapel Hill

FROM EITHER DIRECTION ON THE CHAPEL HILL BY-PASS:
Exit at the 15-501 Pittsboro exit.
As you exit, TURN at the traffic light toward Chapel Hill.
In half a block, TURN RIGHT just short of the convenience store.
That's PUREFOY ROAD, and you take it almost a half mile,
passing side streets and curving left up the hill past speed bumps and
an extra stop sign [until you can just see the stop sign at the
T-intersection.]
Watch for a driveway on the left with a white-painted curb
and a tan colored sign for the church.
that driveway takes you to the parking lot and the Community Church.
