Sunday’s Radio Show from "Live and Let Live" The Rule of Law Radio

By admin, 20 July, 2009, No Comment


This is the podcast from Sunday’s world wide coverage from The Rule of Law Radio. Gary Johnson, host of “Live and Let Live” is a wonderful and I enjoyed the hour long interview.

“Hour 1 Guest: Lisa Marie Coppoletta. Lisa discusses the latest situation regarding forced rfid microchip implanting in pets in San Marcos, Tx. The municipality is attempting to institute the practice only 3 months after citizens stopped the county from requiring mandatory pet chipping. City Council will hear citizens speak on the issue this Tuesday night, July 21. Visit Lisa’s website at http://lmc4sanmarcos.blogspot.com/ for info on how to participate. Very enlightening concerning the power we really have to make change.”

Newstreamz Video Extra – Springtown Mall Citizen Comments

“In this Newstreamz City Beat, we’ll bring you the citizen comment on the subject of the Springtown Mall redevelopment. Citizens and business owners spoke at Tuesday’s city council meeting.”

Council denies incentive plan for center, By Anita Miller

“We need to focus on retaining businesses,” said Lisa Marie Coppeletta, a former council candidate. She noted that residential areas including those for senior citizens are in close proximity to Springtown and would be impacted by the redevelopment as planned.

“Your focus should be not to compete but rather complement pre-existing businesses,” she continued. “I stand firm against the item.”

I am most appreciative to the volunteers who are working every day in the hot June sun walking door-to-door to spread the word of our campaign. Daniel set up a google map of the walks this June and below is the progress thus far. Thank YOU again everyone who is helping out in the campaign!

Pickin up Trash- depressed into a bit of action
Share
Yesterday at 12:44am
so, i walk and ride my bike everywhere and everytime i do i see trash, trash, and more trash all over the streets of san marcos. pickin up a bit here and a bit here just ain’t satisfying- so i’m getting serious.

Saturday morning i’ll be picking up trash through the downtown area, comanche, and san antonio street. i would welcome any company! If you’d like to help:

meet me @ Tantra about 845am. I wanna get started around 9am.
Bring trash bags and probably some gloves- even just dish gloves to keep your hands safe from germs and broken glass.

depending on how many people show up, we’ll split into groups to make it quick and fun. After, I will be serving fresh lemonade and pb&j sandwiches on my front porch (San Antonio Street).

Drop me a line if you plan on joining me, so I know how much pb&j to make. I hope to do this more often, perhaps every other week.

hope to see you saturday morning! peace.
-nina linda

Master Plan Survey & Artist Funding Application Link

By admin, 8 May, 2009, No Comment

Have been speaking in these last meetings, as we begin to formulate the arts master plan, that many artists in town are not necessarily part of an organized art group. And, that many of us have mediums which cross/ experiment with boundaries/ content of traditional Art.

So please give voice to your medium in the survey and in applying for funding for your projects.

Recent Link Updates

http://www.ci.san-marcos.tx.us/news/Docs/09April17_ArtsAppl.pdf Applications to fund projects by San Marcos artists


Overarching Issues Facing Artists

For me right now the main tenant as a commissioner/ artist is that we are afforded funding opportunities to continue to do our work as self-employed citizens. This goes hand in hand with venues as well as community support. This means supporting venues that support our work. There are also opportunities to intertwine campus and community culture thru the arts community here in San Marcos. Finally, we can offer opportunities to train our youth with holistic ways of resolving challenges thru art as medium for empowerment and self expression.

Arts Commission Updates: Citizen Input Sought and Funding Available


We are in formulation stages and aforementioned is just a snippet of some of the topics that I am reflecting. My colleagues have many insights and active here in our community. City staff are offering their thoughts and resources. The Arts Master Plan will guide our vision here in San Marcos for your passion of art. So, check out the online form and the funding opportunity.
