Tw o m inutes after m oving to the

Eldridge Cleaver Comes to
Portland on April 18th
L inda N eale
Eldridge Cleaver is a unique
product o f America. Raised in the
brutal realities o f the ghetto, he
has experienced imprisonment,
was hunted as a fugitive, and has
been praised and honored for his
literary achievement “Soul on Ice’’.
In 1966, along with Huey Newton
and Bobby Seale, Cleaver founded
the Black Panthers to counter in
stances o f police abuse that were
rampant a1 »ho time With his repu
tation as a respecteu writer he be
came "M inister o f Information”
and created a Black Panther new s
paper which is given credit by
many for spurring the 60’s revolu
tion. Eldridge states that he pat
terned his ideas and approach on
the great Thomas Payne, one o f
the foremost American revolution
aries.
In 1967, two days after the death
o f Martin Luther King, there was
a shoot-out with Oakland police.
Eldridge faced 82 years in prison
for “attempted murder”. When he
was finally granted bail, he left the
United States for Cuba, and J.
Edgar Hoover declared him a fugi
tive from justice. He returned in
1975, eventually released and given
2000 hours o f community service,
one of the longest com m unity ser
vice sentences ever handed down.
Now, as secretary o f the Church
o f Religious Science on Fontana,
California, his mind and spirit have
gone beyond petty jealo u sies and
resentm ents. He speaks now o f
ideas that challenge and defy the
very foundations o f our conven
tional. set ways o f thinking. His
ideas are far beyond those typical
o f the revolutionaries, brandishing
their rifles and shouting for ven
geance against injustices. He is an
icon o f the civil rights m ovem ent
who has undergone his ow n spiri
tual transform ation and teaches
others through his life story and his
own experience.
Eldridge Cleaver will be here on
April 18th, speaking at the Interfaith
Earthday Conference and Celebra
tion. He will speak on The State o f
Creation: Earth’s Soul on Ice. He
will be joined by Jack W ard Tho-
mas, former C hief of the US Forest
Service and currently a professor at
University o f Montana who will by
speakingon "Honoring Connections:
Trees, Owls, Fish, and People”.
Currently a professor o f wildlife
biology at the University o f Mon
tana, Thomas is the author o f the
“Spotted Owl Report." He has re
ceived numerous awards for his work
benefiting wildlife, and he has writ
ten about 350 publications.
Cleaver and Thom as will open
the Earthday Conference at 9 A M

ting the treatm ents and support
needed. We do not have medical
treatment but provide the therapy
and complementary approaches.

decrease nausea, pain, and insom

sense o f well-being.

Physioemotional Release Therapy
There Is a basic energy source, or life force, which, w hen
moving freely through our body, enables us to live in joy,
aliveness and health. All emotional and physical trauma
affects the flow of this vital force. Areas of our body can
become banded, effectively blocking our energy, and
energy centers, which should move energy through the
body, can become distorted. These blockages can lead to
physical and emotional disease.
S H E N SM Physio-Emotional Release Therapy is a site-
specific and gentle touch therapy which locates and
releases the blocked energy to allow the life force to flow
freely and unimpeded, revitalizing body, mind and spirit.

The new m onitoring system,

cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug

frightening knowledge that their
