Good News/Earth Day has made this voyage, our KICK-OFF EARTH AND WATER DAY EVENT. Why, because living on water, learning about water, paying attention to water, and conserving water all represent life on MOTHER EARTH, in essence NO WATER NO LIFE, TOO MUCH WATER NO LIFE…so let’s all understand water’s importance as the substance for life.

As mentioned we are preparing for our Earth and Water Day in Times Square Concert on April 22, 2025. We are trying to make Times Square GREEN FOREVER and partnering with the Borough President of Manhattan, Mark Levine and OMMM, EarthDay.org, AY Young, and many more. To see our 2025 Presentation

Dear Friend and Members

Happy and HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL. STAY SAFE.

SAFETY is the most important focus of our life right now, along with loving ALL.

We at Good News are saddened by many things in America, just like Lady Liberty above. The Statue of Liberty (officially named Liberty Enlightening the World) is a monument symbolizing the United States… The statue commemorates the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty

Good News was going to share thoughts of 2020 Bittersweet Thoughts that were sent to us in an Inner Happiness group that we are part of. We have decided to still share it as we are believers in the Good in the World and that our difficult times will pass when we all realize that we are all in this together, our www.goodnewsplanet.TV motto. They also say a little laughter, during our most difficult times is healthy, I hope you agree. Additionally, we share a link to a Benefit Concert that we did on New Year’s Eve to raise money for Support Dogs for First Responders & Vets and www.peacedayparty.org. I performed on the Sax and the Piano and share Thoughts of Wisdom from Soundscapes on a TV Channel… Enjoy.

2020 Bittersweet Thoughts

1. The dumbest thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.

2. 2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.

3. The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors!

4. This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came to my house & told my dog… We had a good laugh.

5. Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.

6. Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands?

7. I never thought the comment, “I wouldn’t touch him/her with a 6-foot pole” would become a national policy, but here we are!

8. I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator.

9. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to the Backyard. I’m getting tired of the Living Room.

10. Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller with a mask on and ask for money.

Here also is a link to a Benefit that Good News did to raise some money for support dogs for First Responders and Vets, www.goodnewsplanet.TV and our www.peacedayparty.org partnered with www.operationwarriorshield.com on New Year’s Eve.

Once again, wear a mask, stay safe and love one another.

UN International Day of Conscience April 5, 2020

The UN International Day of Conscience has come during a Pandemic when our World Needs Life Affirmation with a Conscience for Peace and Love for ALL

Founder Dr. Hong, Tao-Tze, Founder of FOWPAL, Federation of World Peace on March 5, 2020 at the Second World Sustainable Development Forum, Durango, Mexico stated, “The outbreaks and rapid spread of infectious diseases also pose great challenges. To stay healthy, humans must learn to live a balanced life, coexist harmoniously with nature, and cooperate with one another.”

At a World Leader Summit of Love and Peace, co-organized by the FOWPAL and the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the United Nations, on September 27, 2019 at the UN headquarters. H.E. Shaikh Hussam bin Essa Al Khalifa, President of H.R.H. Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa Sustainable Development Award Committee, shared a message of H.R.H. Prince Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain, regarding the UN’s adoption of Bahrain’s resolution designating April 5 as the International Day of Conscience.

“This day will be, from now on, a new, constructive, regular and consistent way to mobilize the international community’s efforts to promote peace for security of peoples and communities and achieve sustainable development goals.”

FOWPAL had created a major “LIVE EVENT” to be held in Times Square, New York City on April 5th, but on Monday March 9th decided to postpone this great event that was months in the making. Dr. Hong states, “It is in our conscience to have responsibility and mission to make actions and decisions that are based on Love and Peace. Postponing our major event meets our mission to care for the safety of all.”
Along with headline entertainment at the Times Square event, FOWPAL had planned to ring their Bell of World Peace and Love, which has been rung by 390 visionary leaders from 121 nations inc. 43 heads of state and government & 7 Nobel Peace Prize laureates.

HISTORY OF EARTH ANTHEM VERSE
http://www.stephenfiskemusic.com/update-11-29-13/earth_anthem_poster2.jpg
EARTH ANTHEM
The Earth Verse sung to the melody of The Star Spangled Banner, words by Stephen Longfellow Fiske

The Evolution of a Song-A Brief History

The Star Spangled Banner was written as a poem by Francis Scott Key on the deck of a small boat September 14, 1814, as he observed the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British during the War of 1812. After having already burned Washington, D.C. the British entered the harbor intent on sacking Baltimore. Inspired by the heroic American stand which turned back the powerful British Fleet, and by the sight of the American flag still flying after a day and night of heavy rocket exchange, Key jotted down some lines on an envelope and wrote out the verses when he later returned to shore. It was published the very next day on a handbill entitled, Defense of Ft. McHenry, and quickly met with wide public approval.

The melody to which the stanzas were written was that of an English drinking song, To Anacreon In Heaven. Anacreon was the convivial Greek poet whose verses celebrated love and wine, and who became the patron saint of The Anacreontic Society, a gentlemen’s club, whose enthusiastic and bawdy meetings had gained quite a reputation, and from whence the song became popular. To Anacreon In Heaven was sung in the taverns of Colonial America, and by 1814 was an American standby. To that tune, in 1798, Tom Paine had written a patriotic verse,Adams and Liberty, which became well known around the young nation.

But when Francis Scott Key’s verses were tacked on the doors of Baltimore’s taverns, his song was heartfully sung as a celebration of victory in war and national pride. As the popularity of Key’s song grew, the original Anacreontic song, Paine’s version, and other attempts to write verses (including one by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes), were forgotten and Key’s most popular verse, The Star Spangled Banner, became the favorite national song. In 1931, Congress officially designated it as the United States National Anthem.

Now, in the ongoing folk tradition of adding new verses to old songs, visionary singer, songwriter Stephen Longfellow Fiske brings the evolution of the song to the global perspective of the 21st century, blending democratic ideals, peace, and environmental harmony with his Earth Anthem.

A descendant of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Stephen is a poet in his own right, and has produced nine albums of his music. His most recent CD, Earth Anthem, How Do You Want Your World? features Stephen’s acapella/string arrangement of Earth Anthem, as well as ten other songs of peace, environmental, spiritual and social concerns. The CD has been getting rave reviews and is being well recieved by the buying public. Stephen and his partners are currently building Earth Anthem Enterprises to help promote Earth Anthem and create a socially responsible business serving a sustainable future.

Earth Anthem Video
“In Stephen’s new CD, he sings about what’s universally important for our planet and all people, strong voice, great musicality, combined with splendid arrangements. I give this CD my highest recommendation”
– Ed Begley, Jr. (actor, environmentalist)

“Stephen’s songs go beyond inspiration to act as a wise and passionate guide to the path and ways of peace. Stephen sings of a new way and a new day for humanity”
– Kristin Norton (Coalition for World Peace)

“The definitive songbook for the 21st century peace movement, heartfelt tunes, powerful honest lyrics crying out for justice, tolerance, and peace. Earth Anthem will join ‘This Land Is Your Land’ in America’s roster of incredible folk songs.”
– Stephen Rodhe (attorney at law)

” … an affirmation of planetary healing. I feel as though I can hear the earth saying, Thank you!.”
– Nancy Pearlman (trustee, Cal State University)

“…a wonderful reminder of our interconnectedness, a great collection of songs from a great human being and talented artist.
– Rev. Dr. David W. Randle

“Listen for yourself and then think about giving someone the gift of ‘Earth Anthem’. Make a difference in shaping the new world by turning someone onto the real evolutionary, revolutionary music.”
– Alan Hutner and Elizabeth Rose (hosts, Transitions Radio Magazine, Santa Fe, New Mexico)

Good day,

I am proud to share that since Eco Boys and Girls inception at the esteemed Liberty Science Center three years ago, we have taken many strides around the world to promote the importance of environmental education. Most recently, we have been developing a 6 volume book series for Pre K to 3rd grade that is being promoted by the National Education Association.

On Earth Day 2013 a reading of our first book “Meet The Eco Boys and Girls”, alongside Dr. Seuss’s “The Lorax”, were both featured as part of the NEA’s Read Across America Program for their significance towards earth stewardship.

This past weekend, the Brooklyn Children’s Museum hosted a reading event with interactive activities.

In addition to the books, we are currently working on expanding through various digital media platforms, ebooks, apps, tv/web series, while continuing to work with major organizations on global partnerships such as the NEA and Friends of the United Nations and having been cited by the Environmental Protection Agency and Association of Science and Technology Centers in the past, we continue to develop those important partnerships.

Our goal with our original characters and content is to entertain, educate and inspire youth and families to “take action” for our planet in peril.

Our mission is to engage them to be aware of and stay connected to each other and the earth, while empowering them to take ownership of our planet. Each character promotes their individual missions.

Ernie Earth preserves the natural world and its ecosystem; Lulu Love demonstrates loving relationships between humans and all things;Patsy Peace solves conflicts so that humans, animals and things can exist in peaceful ways; Ray Recycle shows people ways to reuse and recycle and Sammy Sun spreads the word about conservation and protecting our natural resources.

Additionally, we are moving forward with our other two brands focused on sustainability  and interconnectedness.  

EcoBrands encourages sustainable fashion and educated consumerism and Peacearth promotes sustainable peace through art and media. We are building distribution channels through digital platforms as well as working with global institutions to spread the message.

Thank you for allowing me to share with you and please feel free to contact me with any thoughts. Warmest regards to all.

Liberty Mutual Insurance Renews Sponsorship of Boston’s 4th of July Tradition, The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. Good News is proud to bring Keth Lockhart and the Boston Pops interview as part of our July 4th 14 Anniversary Special. We applaud Liberty Mutual and The Boston Pops for all the GOOD that they do. Thanks.

Boston-based Liberty Mutual Insurance, a leading global property and casualty insurer, today announced that it would renew its sponsorship of Boston’s nationally-acclaimed 4th of July tradition, The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, through 2015. The three-year sponsorship agreement with Boston 4 Celebrations, the organization that produces the event, totals approximately $8 million. Liberty Mutual Insurance, headquartered in Boston since 1912, and with more than 4,500 employees in 30 offices across Massachusetts, first began its sponsorship of The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular in 2005.

This year’s concert will feature Conductor Keith Lockhart and The Boston Pops Esplanade , joined by Academy Award and GRAMMY(r) Award-winning superstar Jennifer Hudson. Emceed by Emmy Award-winning actor and Lowell, Mass. native Michael Chiklis, the event will air locally on WBZ-TV from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., followed by a national CBS broadcast from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The entire concert will be broadcast in HD (high definition), courtesy of Liberty Mutual Insurance. In addition, the final 20 minutes of the broadcast, featuring the spectacular fireworks display, will be presented commercial free by Liberty Mutual Insurance.

“In Liberty Mutual Insurance’s 100th anniversary year, we could not imagine a better time to reaffirm our support for Boston’s Fourth of July tradition,” said David Long, Chief Executive Officer and President, Liberty Mutual Insurance. “For 39 years, the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular has brought together family and friends from across the country to our hometown, where they enjoy a free concert, watch an outstanding fireworks display, and salute the brave men and women who make it possible for us to celebrate. It is an honor to sponsor a tradition that so vibrantly captures the spirit of Independence Day, and we’re proud to share it with the millions of television viewers across the country.”

Liberty Mutual Insurance’s continued sponsorship will preserve a 39-year tradition that offers a free concert to an estimated 500,000 people who visit Boston’s Charles River Esplanade on July 4th. Worth noting, approximately one-third of the concert’s attendees are tourists from outside New England, who come to celebrate and enjoy Boston as a summer destination.

“We’re thrilled to continue our long-standing partnership with Liberty Mutual Insurance, which allows us to continue to bring the Boston Pops, fireworks and this patriotic event to all free of charge for a fourth decade,” said Event Founder and Executive Producer David G. Mugar. “We look forward to producing this Boston tradition for many years to come for the families of Boston and New England.”

Added Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart: “It takes a great deal of support to present this country’s greatest Fourth of July concert, so we are thrilled that Liberty Mutual Insurance has generously renewed its sponsorship of one of this city’s signature events — the July 4 Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. We hope every Boston neighborhood and visitors near and far will join us, with host Michael Chiklis and singing sensation Jennifer Hudson, along the banks of the Charles River for this spectacular day celebrating our country’s birth.”

About Boston 4 Productions

Boston 4 Productions’ Fourth of July event was founded in 1973 by then Boston Pops Conductor Arthur Fiedler and Boston businessman David G. Mugar.

Now marking its 39th year, the event is once again produced and coordinated by Boston 4 Productions, the production arm of the non-profit organization Boston 4 Celebrations Inc.

About the Boston Pops

The Boston Pops, in its 127th year, has a rich and storied history that began with its founding in 1885. The Boston Pops Orchestra has distinguished itself as the founder of and leader in its genre, presenting the best of a wide variety of music from jazz to pop, indie rock to big band, film music to the great American songbook, and Broadway to classical. Though Arthur Fiedler’s nearly 50-year tenure as Pops conductor (1930-1979) established the Boston Pops as a national icon, Conductor Laureate John Williams (1980-1993) and present-day conductor Keith Lockhart (1995-present) have shepherded the orchestra through three decades of tumultuous change in the world of music. The Boston Pops, “America’s Orchestra,” performs for an audience of nearly 900,000 people annually in Boston, across the country and around the world, and reaches millions more through its recordings and television broadcasts.
