February - the month where shops who did
between medium and poorly close up and
leave the mall for "somewhere else."
Yeah, all of our malls are at half
occupancy but the economy's looking up.
A full year's observation:
I don't think Monika eats, sleeps, talks
or pees. All you ever see her doing is
walking. Walking to a car, walking from
a building. Out of a yard, into a drive
way. Out of a door. Walking, walking.

Please mention in your communications that
if at all possible, people going out
should be self contained and able to
take care of themselves. Many middle class
anglo have never experienced poverty and
don't realize that having to provide the
food and cook it for outsiders puts a burden
on these people. Some cannot chop wood, have
never seen a sheep up close and have never
been in a garden or dryland field. We have to
remember that the only way outsiders presence
there is if they can be of actual assistance.
If they go out simply as witnesses (with
camera, audio recorders and video maybe it
could be suggested that they camp seperately
in a group or in some manner that the elders
don't have to take care of all of their
survival needs.
Thanks for listening

Marco--
Thanks! ATI is great! But reviewing
your singing endorsement list has got
me thinking--You list REM's "Superman"
with IBM... REM covered The Clique's
Superman, so... it's probably the same
ad--the guy whose post I forwarded
seemed very specific about Lotus, so
maybe IBM is wrong? Maybe there's TWO
ads? And is the music The Clique's
version (doubtful), REM's (much more
likely) or a cheesy remake of that???
Thought I'd better write back; I hate
to be involved in disseminating
misinformation, unless it's on purpose!

STEVENS: IT'S NOT A CHEAP CIGAR.

First accused of picking his nose,
Untied States Senator Ted Stevens from
Alaska is now taking flak for shoving what
appears to be a cheap cigar up his nose for
a thrill. Some thought it was a vibrator,
and a message to Monika Lewinski sitting
behind Trent Lottery during the removal
hearings of Clinton's impeachment.
Getting the last laugh, or at least
trying, Stevens explained it's a turbo-

A FONE COMPANY THAT NO ONE HATES???
By Betty Beard
Proudly Reprinted From:
The Arizona Republic
Feb. 7, 1999
Nearly a dozen years ago, Emmett White would
drive about seven miles across the Gila River
Indian Reservation's desert to a Casa Blanca
store to make a phone call.
The Gila River resident couldn't afford to
pay US West for a phone in his rural home.
"It was going to cost me $30,000,"
White said.
The lack of phones was more than an
inconvenience. During floods, residents
became isolated because they were unable
to cross the Gila River to get from
one side of the reservation to the other,
tribal Councilman Harry Cruye said.
But with persistence and a federal loan,
the Gila River Community 11 years ago formed
its own phone company, Gila River
Telecommunications Inc., which today offers a
$12-a-month phone service, cellular phones,
business phone systems, pagers, satellite TV
and Internet connections. Today, the company
serves about 1,400 Gila River families.
"That's a big jump, considering most
people didn't have phones 10 years ago.
We're bringing the 21st century into people's
homes," said Belinda Nelson, the company's
director of human resources.
Today, the company stands out for being
able to better serve its spread-out Native
American market than competitors and for
offering advanced features in a community
in which half the residents still don't
have phones.
The Gila River Community was one of
the first Indian nations in the state to
approach US West about buying out its system,
said Jim Roof, a US West spokesman.
The original system included a 1950s-vintage
switching system.
The community formed Gila River
Telecommunications Inc., or GRTI, in 1988.
Two years later, it received a $12.4 million
Rural Electrification Administration loan to
replace US West's old system with
state-of-the-art equipment that today includes
digital switches and 117 miles of fiber-optic
cables.
US West had no objections to leaving the
isolated rural market in some areas, Roof said.
"There are areas, especially in the West,
where a company specifically focused on small
communities has some significant advantages
that US West can't enjoy," he said.
In late 1997, the Gila River Community
bought out the other owner of Gila River
Telecommunications, National Telecom Cos. Inc.
of Oklahoma City, and became the sole owner.
As a company run by and for Native Americans,
the company can customize its services to what
the 620-square-mile reservation needs.
"We are profitable, but because we're owned
by the community, profits are not as important
as serving the community well," said Brooks
Roseman, general manager of GRTI.
It recently gave the community its first
comprehensive phone book with maps of the
reservation. Maps have not been readily
available before.
The company also installed advanced pay
telephones, and residents have to pay only
25 cents to call anyone on the reservation,
with no time limit.
Along with serving the rural residents,
the telephone system at the Lone Butte
industrial park near south Chandler,
which has 43 businesses, is nearing
capacity.
The company uses a Chandler address,
7065 W. Allison Drive, while other homes
or businesses have Florence, Coolidge or
Florence addresses.
There are street names, but sometimes
no street numbers.
Roseman said the company will probably
have to get really state-of-the-art and use
satellite-based global positioning systems
instead of addresses to identify 911 callers.
Ironically, the big telephone company,
US West, which once decided it would be too
expensive to serve such a wide-spread community,
could someday find itself competing with this
young company in other communities.
Customers who live outside the community
have already begun calling to see whether
they can become a customer. Roseman said
that although the company could someday
allow that, for now it won't.
"We'd like to serve the population of
the reservation first and do that well,"
he said.

DADDY'S GOT A BRAND NEW GAME
(PAWN) - Tulsa, OK.
Not happy with doing a Bob Dylan song better
than Bob Dylan, a Willie Nelson movie better
than Willie, and having more lucrative sweat
glands than Clint Black, Garth Brooks has
announced he would like to go to training camp
this summer. He's hoping an Earth First!?! team
might pick him up so he can play semi-pro
activism. At the upcoming Round River Rendezvous,
(undisclosed location of course) he will train on
wearing a bicycle lock around his neck, climbing
mountains, sitting on tripods, eating vegetarian
foods - also free ranging organic meats, all
things he claims he was good at around the cattle
ranch as a little boy.
Brooks said he was disappointed when informed
he will not train on spiking trees, as that is not
an Earth First!?! sanctioned event.
"Come to find out," said Pablo Tadpole, speaking
for EF!?! "Spiking doesn't get taught there at all!
One would have to go to US Forest Ranger training
camp in the winter." Tadpole is Garth's new errant
EF!?! name by the way. He will get it officially
after summer training in a ceremony involving
bumble bees, rose bushes and Johnny Cash music.
"I think I will take Forest Ranger training
either after baseball or EF!?!.
What I've always wanted to do since I was knee
high to a grasshopper poop was spike a tree."
HIDE: CLINTON A HIPPY.
(PAWN) WASHING.
"That BillyBoy," Said S. Henry Hide after
beating the pants off him on the raquetball
court. "He's one tough sparring partner."
Hide said he's a real free spirit kissing all
the girls and making almost none of them cry.
S. Henry Hide hinted at free love and hippydom
for the next millenium.
"Ladies, when he promises you a rose garden,"
said S Henry, or S Hank, but he prefers to not
be called Henry. "You'd better watch out. You
WILL get it. Trouble is you'll have to share him
with his harem.
This was Hide's first speech in months where
he felt he wasn't restricted by the rule of law.
"I think I'll grow my hair long like Johnson
did after the war," said S Hide, removing his
tie, he unbuttoned his shirt to his navel
putting both thumbs up quoting Arthur Fonzarelli
and showing off his gold Aquarius medallion.
"Just call me Shank," he said.

I called in sick today
Just to listen to your
Spirit.
Hungry and alone I close my eyes.
Ears fill up with rhymes.
Music over everything else lives on.
Hearing your spirit confirms
I'll be OK
Words and music; bedazzled, bedeckled.
Freedom is a place you can go.
Spirit! You're already there.
Meditating to a brand new album.
Ah yes!!!
I remember why I'm alive.
Forgetting to eat?
You're either in love or
Enchanted.
Both?
I called in sick today -
Your spirit confirms. I'll be
OK
