war, one that seeks <strong>to</strong> better all man k<strong>in</strong>d and<br />
we can give thanks for many vic<strong>to</strong>ries <strong>in</strong><br />

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag<br />
Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is<br />
acknowledged <strong>to</strong>day as one of the first Thanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
celebrations <strong>in</strong> the colonies. For more than<br />
two centuries, days of thanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g were celebrated<br />
by <strong>in</strong>dividual colonies and states. Local native<br />
Squan<strong>to</strong> taught the Pilgrims, weakened by malnutrition<br />
and illness, how <strong>to</strong> cultivate corn, extract<br />
sap from maple trees, catch fish <strong>in</strong> the rivers<br />
and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped the<br />
settlers forge an alliance with the Wampanoag, a<br />
local tribe, which would endure for more than 50<br />
years and tragically rema<strong>in</strong>s one of the sole examples<br />
of harmony between European colonists<br />
and Native Americans. Today, only about 3,000<br />
Wampanoag Indians still live <strong>in</strong> Massachusetts<br />
and Rhode Island. There is a reservation for the<br />
Wampanoag Indians on Martha’s V<strong>in</strong>eyard that<br />
was set up by the United States government.<br />

Carol and Gary - SUCCULENT SURPRISES<br />
The hidden artists who come out for the<br />
Hyw 62 Open Studio Art Tours <strong>in</strong>cluded<br />
a unique couple just outside of Yucca<br />
Valley on a w<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g narrow gravel<br />
desert road.<br />
Carol Pancner and Gary Stiler met after<br />
they were <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> their careers. Carol was<br />
at the University of Ill<strong>in</strong>ois where as an<br />
anthropology major she became <strong>in</strong>terested<br />
<strong>in</strong> the his<strong>to</strong>ry and techniques of<br />
Native American pottery. She cont<strong>in</strong>ued<br />
her study and practice of mak<strong>in</strong>g<br />
pottery <strong>in</strong> New Mexico, then back <strong>to</strong><br />
Indiana at the Art Center <strong>in</strong> Evansville,<br />
Indiana. From there she went <strong>to</strong> Yucaipa,<br />
California from which she moved <strong>to</strong><br />
the Perris Hill Studio <strong>in</strong> San Bernard<strong>in</strong>o<br />
where she had studio space <strong>to</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>ue<br />
her work. She also developed a keen<br />
<strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> succulents which<br />
are found throughout the<br />
Southwest. She also obta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
a certificate as a Master<br />
Gardener <strong>in</strong> horticulture<br />
from the Mt. San An<strong>to</strong>nio<br />
College. After meet<strong>in</strong>g Gary<br />
and with their mutual <strong>in</strong>terest<br />
<strong>in</strong> ceramics and plants<br />
they arrived at the decision<br />
<strong>to</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>e the two creative<br />
endeavors with ceramics and<br />
succulents which became<br />
Succulent Surprises.<br />
Gary also had an <strong>in</strong>terest<br />
<strong>in</strong> pottery while <strong>in</strong> college<br />
study<strong>in</strong>g archaeology. His work <strong>in</strong><br />
archaeology <strong>to</strong>ok him <strong>to</strong> sites <strong>in</strong> states<br />
throughout the Midwest and Southwest<br />
identify<strong>in</strong>g pottery of Native American<br />
Tribes. His cont<strong>in</strong>ued <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> ceramics,<br />
primarily <strong>in</strong> slab build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong>ok him<br />
<strong>to</strong> study at Perris Hill <strong>to</strong> <strong>in</strong>creased his<br />
creative urge <strong>to</strong> study techniques <strong>in</strong> raku<br />
and the science of glaz<strong>in</strong>g techniques <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
pigmentation created by <strong>in</strong>digenous<br />
sources.<br />
His experiences has caused him <strong>to</strong> have<br />
a special <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> etch<strong>in</strong>g his ceramic<br />
works with symbols and figures <strong>in</strong>spired<br />
by natural sources. Many of his pieces<br />
have design render<strong>in</strong>gs of birds of the<br />
Southwest along with designs of the<br />
Fibonacci Spiral, a design found <strong>in</strong> geometry<br />
of natural objects rang<strong>in</strong>g from<br />
nautilus shells <strong>to</strong> star galaxies.<br />
Their unique comb<strong>in</strong>ation of ceramics<br />
pieces <strong>in</strong> various designs, from practical<br />
<strong>to</strong> whimsical, conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g live succulents<br />
provides unusual art pieces with<br />
live plants. The succulents are chosen<br />
for their growth habits<br />
and care requirements.<br />
Each ceramic/succulent<br />
piece is a one-of-a-k<strong>in</strong>d<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
Well, where do we beg<strong>in</strong> this <strong>week</strong>.<br />
Seems that the Prez, <strong>in</strong> his <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite wisdom, has<br />
decided that if the Palest<strong>in</strong>ians don’t come back<br />
<strong>to</strong> peace talks with the Israelis, he is go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> shut<br />
down their Wash<strong>in</strong>g<strong>to</strong>n office. Hmmm, if they<br />
close the office how do we communicate with<br />
them? Back <strong>to</strong> ask<strong>in</strong>g the Swedish consulate?<br />
Or do we discuss the latest tax proposal from the<br />
Republicans – no more deductions for state and<br />
local taxes! No deduction for student loan payments,<br />
no mortgage deduction and they attempt<br />
<strong>to</strong> elim<strong>in</strong>ate Obamacare through the tax bill.<br />
Amaz<strong>in</strong>g that traditional Republican supporters<br />
like the National Assn of Real<strong>to</strong>rs, the Chamber of<br />
Commerce and others are out aga<strong>in</strong>st this bill. We<br />
can only hope that 3 Republican sena<strong>to</strong>rs vote no.<br />
Sen Johnson has already said he will vote no – that<br />
leaves us <strong>to</strong> two. Who will that be? One would<br />
have thought that someone might have <strong>to</strong>ld these<br />
boneheads that trickle-down economics doesn’t<br />
work. Reagan tried it and it led <strong>to</strong> the Bush 1<br />
recession and a huge budget deficit that did not<br />
come down until Bill Cl<strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong>n <strong>to</strong>ok office.<br />
The Groper-In-Chief has decided <strong>to</strong> pile on Sena<strong>to</strong>r<br />
Franken over allegations of sexual abuse when<br />
he was a comedian and NOT an elected official.<br />
Mr. Franken has already apologized and offered<br />
<strong>to</strong> go before the Senate Ethics Committee. Mr.<br />
Trump still denies he did anyth<strong>in</strong>g wrong, even<br />
though his comments were caught on tape – PLUS<br />
he still defends Judge Moore <strong>in</strong> Alabama! The<br />
Emperor has no clothes.<br />
Seems the Adm<strong>in</strong>istration failed <strong>to</strong> tell Congress.<br />
Are these really the folks we want defend<strong>in</strong>g us?<br />
Downright scare.<br />
All-<strong>in</strong>-all, a pretty depress<strong>in</strong>g <strong>week</strong>. Then <strong>to</strong><br />
cap it off the oil pipel<strong>in</strong>e that Obama refused <strong>to</strong><br />
be allowed <strong>to</strong> be built say<strong>in</strong>g it was unsafe AND<br />
Trump allowed <strong>in</strong> his first month <strong>in</strong> office has now<br />
– guess? begun <strong>to</strong> leak! 100’s of 1000’s of gallons<br />
of crude. OOOOPS! I have an idea of how <strong>to</strong> use<br />
some of the oil. Tar and feather anyone?<br />
Well, that’s it for this <strong>week</strong>. RESIST!!!<br />
Don’t hesitate <strong>to</strong> email me with comments, questions<br />
or just thoughts at greg@gregpettis.com. I’d<br />
be happy <strong>to</strong> hear from you any time.<br />
