Thanks, Joe, for posting the transcript of one of Orlov's more recent
presentations. TCLocal has been following his work for quite some time;
there's much to learn from his observations. Other Orlov articles are
available at the energy bulletin site as well, or interested readers can
search his name to find a ready supply of his particular blend of humor
and wisdom.

Hello FL Permies,
Over the last three years, we have watched the
permaculture movement grow here in the Finger Lakes
with many projects, classes and gatherings. To
continue this growth and to facilitate greater unity
and cooperation between permaculture teachers,
designers and students, I would like to propose the
creation of a new forum for this group. Starting
sometime in January, I would be willing to facilitate
a informal monthly designer's circle. At these
gatherings, we can rotate around to different
projects, talk about these designs, and conduct some
informal design exercises and critiques. Each
designer might use these meetings to improve upon
their work and receive a fresh perspective on elements
of their designs. The group in turn can use these
gatherings to network, update the community about
their work, and hopefully a greater sense of
cooperation will emerge.
So anyone who is interested in these gatherings, let
us begin to discuss the vision for designer's circles
and hopefully we can have our first one sometime in
January. The feeling that I get from others who I've
chatted with about this idea is that it should be
limited to teachers, designers and students currently
involved in earning their design certificate so that
everyone is on the same page. Hope everyone has a
great holiday season. See you next year!

THE POWER OF COMMUNITY: HOW CUBA SURVIVED PEAK OIL
Sustainable Tompkins invites you to a showing of the documentary
"The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" at its
monthly community gathering Thursday January 11 in Ithaca.
Petroleum industry experts agree that global oil production will
reach a peak and then begin an irreversible decline some time in
the next 20 years, with profound implications for our way of life
and even our food supply. Cuba got an unwilling preview of the
future when oil imports collapsed with the fall of the Soviet
Union in the early 1990s. The story of Cuba's successful
management of energy descent through permaculture provides an
eye-opening look at the challenges facing us, the solutions
provided by a transition to organic farming, and the social
changes wrought by a return to local food production.
The movie, sponsored jointly by Sustainable Tompkins and TCLocal,
will be preceded by a potluck dinner beginning at 6 p.m. in the
Fort Room of the Greater Ithaca Activities Center. GIAC is
located at 318 North Albany Street (corner of Court Street and
Albany Street). Participants are invited to bring a dish for the
potluck. The gathering will include group discussion of the
lessons to be applied from the Cuban experience to our local
community and will end about 8:30. Please join us and invite a
friend or two!

Hello'all
I would like to propose Sat., January 27 for the date
of our first designer's circle. The course is that
day and it could be a good way to get students
involved in our growing community. A few questions in
regard to the course. What time is it over that day?
Could carpooling be arranged to the site of the
Circle? Maybe we could schedual for 3pm so we have
some light to check out our site, and
students/teachers can arrive latter.
As far as a location goes, I would like to keep that
open for now while I scout out the possibilities.
Please, feedback is always welcome. I will send
another email after I have heard from some of you.
Josh

I think I recall that the circle is also open to people who are in the
process of taking permaculture classes. Did I get that right?
