  • Greetings Fellow Royal Oak Kimball High School, Jane Adams Junior High & Northwood Elementary students! (click here to open)

    It has been a long while since we have met one another. However, it is a great retrospective to have some visuals to look at the journey though our lives.

     

    This material is for your enjoyment.

     

    Motivating me to place this material on line is two fold:

     

    First of all: These were great moments and hope you enjoy this content and

    Second driver is that United Earth Fund, the nonprofit that i did found, needs help on two vital projects.

     

    Please allow me to ask you to help UEF to advance our work if you possibly can; please do.

     

    In any instance, enjoy the historic images and May you live long and prosper!

    United Earth Fund (UEF) Needs List for Critical Items is Below

    If you can help please do. What ever the case: thanks for your time.

     

    First Priority:

    UEF is offering a tax write off receipt for the donation of a running vehicle.

    UEF needs a vehicle to get to school campuses to set up the project conduct interviews and cover key events of the student initiatives.

     

    • • Like Mother Waddles Car Charity, UEF has the same tax exemption and offering a tax exempt donation receipt for the blue book value of a running vehicle. If it run and you can benefit by a tax write off, contact me.

     

    Second Priority:

    UEF and I need a1960s-1970s "Reel to Reel Stereo Tape Deck" to use for transferring the 67-70's audio music, on 7 inch reels, to digital for distribution.

     

     

    • UEF is releasing a Historic Detroit Rock and Roll Audio Documentary to raise funds for the initiatives mentioned above. Kimball students may remember the dance where the MC5 played at Kimball. I recorded the MC5 for 3 years, as well as other local talent and bands.Samples of some of the material is at:

     

    • The 7 inch reels played stereo tapes, then you would flip the tape and record the other direction. It is old stuff now.  Do any of you have a reel to reel machine that fits this description? Finding one would allow us to make the transfer to digital audio. Having difficulty finding one to use for this task. Please do signal if you do.

     

     

     

    United Earth Fund and United Earth News have produce news, investigative reports and documentary progams. Our work with the EPA, and grass roots ecolcy and human rights groups is part of our histoty.

     

    UEF Top Two Initiatives are the following projects:

     

    A) Publishing content that exposes a large national industrial scale enterprise, funded by social security and tax dollars that traffic children, create adoptions and more to generate welfare payback revenue and fund the courts, jails and enforcement for Family Court in America.

     

    • Whistle-blowing on the Family Court industry which is trafficking children and parent's rights and B) rolling out the student news project which funds students to report on local, community and regional news. Uncovered or under covered issues are the result of the collapse of the news paper industry. This project can empower students to follow their passions and join in to make a difference.

     

    • Public Interest web site with content (in development):

     

    • I began producing the Documentary in 2006 and have interviews and documents that show the money trail. With out going into detail, there is an industrial billion billion dollar business in our nation which is built on denial of our human right to parent our children. It is funded to take children from parents and profit by the operation. This touches all people and children in America. It separates children from parents so that the agencies can make huge profits on placing or managing the children until they are 18. One in six people in Michigan are under the thumbs of the Friend of the Court but this is a national tragedy and huge welfare boondoggle.

     

    B) UNITED EARTH NEWS: Student Journalism and Reporting.

    UEF is launching a student journalism initiative to give students work-study/work-learn, and class credits for reporting on uncovered and under-covered news in their local community, school and region.

     

    The project is ambitions. The name is changing back to United Earth News from IUNN (international university news network). The project was built with help from and is endorsed by a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, Melvin Claxton. It feels great to access to that level of talent. UEF piloted this project at multiple universities and want to contribute this operation to the betterment of the whole, for all of us. The pilot was the United Earth News Chapter at University of California, Davis offered for credit classes and we produced news and documentaries covering climate, human rights and energy issues.

     

    Claxton wants to start the project with the elementary schools first and then universities to mentor the elementary school students. This project invites students to find their passion, to join in, make new friends and make a difference.  \\

     

    Thanks for your time and interest.

Can you remember all the names in the photos?

    United Earth News

    Supporting student journalism since 1978.

     

    United Earth Fund (UEF) student's and volunteers began writing, researching and producing "United Earth News" (UEN) at the University of California in 1978. Our "Radio Environmental Calendar" did Cover stories that had little of no exposure in the mass media of that time. UEN stories focus on Human Rights, Ecology, Environmental toward creating public awareness and action initiatives.

     

    Passionate students gained experience and accredited classes were made available tailored to our journalism and production objectives. Students joined in to make a difference.

     

    Obstacles: With no Internet, RCA Satellite wanted $6 Million a year for satellite time to connect universities in all 50 US states. United Earth Fund, UEN's parent, could not raise the funds to connect the universities and schools. The lack of communication technology was the barrier: but no more.

     

    UEN produced the Radio Environmental Calendar for stations to include in their news shows. UEF did produce documentaries and a "A Day with Rolling Thunder" in 1978 for international satellite distribution for the Symposium on Humanities international satellite conference. Although we invited Rolling Thunder, he said we was not allowed to travel to speak at the conference (government). We are working on these issues in our stories and features yet today. The Documentary "A Day with Rolling Thunder" is available on this site.

     

    UEN began to work on human rights issues in our own country. RT told us to start in our own land so we began an international Human Rights campaign for the Hopi and Native American Indians. UEF did receive thousands of petition signatures by mail from Europe, Japan and United State in support of the Human Rights Initiative. UEF is in contact with Hopi today and the Hopi Story is available on this site. Peabody Copper, Peabody Coal, and Peabody Energy are all players in the 4-Corners strip mine and human rights crisis.

     

    UEF/UEN began research on energy and environment. We went to Coal Fired Power Plants, Nuclear Energy Facilities, Hydro-Power Dams, Geo-thermal fields that produce power for the nation.

     

    Becoming aware of the ability to turn from pollution to self-sustaining technologies UEF did create the "Energy Independent America" public awareness campaign. UC Davis Professor Harry O. Walker fed us content and historic data to present the story to the public. We are still on this mission today.

     

    United Earth Fund and New Mission is to support LIFE as the highest value on planet Earth. Through public education and our EnviroNotice Calender, we intend to level the playing field by helping passionate people like you, connect and link to the areas they are passionate about. For example our Fracking Calendar and Endangered Species Calendar allow you to find who is doing what and where with context on each issue. We support life. That is our angle and activity.

     

    How many Tigers are left and where are they? Who is doing what to preserve this species? What are the issues with the indigent native populations in the habitat area? What are the economic interests at play? How long might we have before the death knell sounds for a species? Our aim is to make it easy and fun to find out and connect to your interest.

     

    With education, team work and student power, our aim is to protect Mother Nature/Ecology, Environment and Human Rights locally and globally.

     

    Students around the world make this ambition and initiative possible. UEN and EnviroNotice make it possible to find what your interests and connect to take action or just keep informed.

     

    So we invite you to join in, make new friends and make a difference!
