EARTH DAY 2017 EDITORIAL:
THE ENVIRONMENTAL ARTS DESERVE TO BE PRESERVED BY CREATING THE NATIONAL COAST-TO-COAST GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAIL

An Open Letter to President Trump

Date: April 5, 2017
Category: Government and Politics

Dear President Trump,

On March 16, You announced a budget plan which calls for increasing funds for military spending and homeland security. To set off the increased spending, You have proposed sweeping cuts to several different governmental organizations that you and your administration may not think are necessary for American life.

We at The International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) are aware of the implications of these budget cuts and would like to defend Environmental Arts Programs like the WORLDS CHILDREN PEACE MONUMENT (WCPM), COASTWEEKS dot Com and the National Coast-to-Coast ‘GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAIL’. Across the world, the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts is the cultural backbone of communities. The Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts can influence another culture and even bring cultures together. Environmental Arts is so strong on the global stage because of our uniqueness. The music, artwork and theater are all global phenomena using Iceality. The Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts is a powerful tool, one that the whole Trump administration should want to take full advantage of. Since 1987 in Cleveland, Ohio, Environmental Art has been a global commodity, and the power of a universal Language of Design that Environmental Arts is now considered as the cornerstone of the modern global sustainable movement and this concept is now replicated by artists, architects, urban planners and sustainable organizations throughout the World, reflecting a still growing global audience.

The Environmental Arts are also important for the American individual through the building of the GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAIL, and have now become a source of comfort and confidence building for Americans of all ages. Community artistic activities connected to the GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAIL encourage the individual to be in touch with his or her thoughts in a beautiful way and provide a healthy way for one to be in touch with his or her emotions. When someone is sad, he or she can channel sadness into a poem of peace and iceality. If someone is happy, he or she can perform an upbeat song. Any emotion in between can be channeled into the Art of Iceality in some way. The GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAIL can provide a way to express oneself in a world that can often silence emotions.

The GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAIL is also is a source of togetherness among Americans that can Unite America. Iceality allows people of all ages to create a community of good. It is touching that human beings can form such strong bonds over something so intrinsic to all cultures. Whether it’s through performing or listening, Iceality provides a common thread for all of us.

The Environmental Arts are now and always will be the centerpiece of American culture. Most popular American songs or famous American artworks are now a product of our love for Iceality in the arts. In recent years, arts programs at schools have been cut all around the country. The federal government to support the popular cause. The federal government, by supporting the environmental arts programs, says that the arts DO matter. By saying the arts do matter, the Trump Administration makes clear that the fostering of American culture is a high priority. The Trump Administration can make America great again by preservation of the soul of our country by creating the National GREAT AMERICAN PEACE TRAIL.

The International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) for 30 years already has a strong appreciation for the arts. Poetry slams, a cappella performances, art shows and civic engagement are quite popular in Cleveland. Greater Cleveland is expands its role as global home of the International Environmental Art Movement as the Primary Economic Engine for the Region and as the 'Cradle for a Universal Culture of Peace' for All Living Things. (Worlds Children). We are blessed to live in one of the most well-known hubs for art in the world, whether it be at the historic ARK in Berea or Playhouse Square. The only way to support for the arts is to continue our love and support for the Environmental Arts. Promoting Iceality here at The International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) and in our immediate community is easy and socially worthwhile.

Now that I think about it, there should be a National Iceality Day that is more encompassing in its scope than any other celebration in America. Iceality Day would be a day of potential, especially for All the Worlds Children. It is not about something 'other', but something we can celebrate and hold as part of ourselves. It is as intimate as Earth Day is for the Plants and Animals and International Peace Day is for the Human's but more encompassing in its scope than any other celebration on the calendar. It is about US as much as it is about the Animals, Fish, and Birds, about the Plants and Trees, Land and Waters. There is no escaping the Planet Earth. Very few have done it and never for long. The astronauts that are on the International Space Station are going to be off the Earth for a short time; the longest time anyone has spent away from our planet yet…so the universal symbol of peace, the WCPM is ready for Peace in Space.

"The Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts"
http://www.theicea.com/page22

The WORLDS CHILDREN PEACE MONUMENT members and scholars can support the global iceality methodology on a deeper level by supporting local arts. Like arts programs in schools, local museums and galleries all over the country need funding more than ever. Although on a smaller stage, smaller museums and galleries ensure that the environmental arts continue to thrive. Volunteering and even time spent on social media sites could make a difference.

Using the ICEALITY METHODOLOGY
 teachers can now educate American Children in all  American schools, colleges and university's
http://www.theicea.com/page30

We at International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) also encourage You and Your Administration to teach the Theory of Iceality in America's Classrooms and for

scholars to take their appreciation for the environmental arts and pursue iceality as a lifelong goal. Keep performing and listening, keep painting, designing and analyzing.

Please take matters into your own hands to preserve our American environmental artistic culture for yourself, your countrymen and for All the Worlds Children.

Thank You and Peace Friend~

MAJOR WCPM INTERNATIONAL AWARDS

Gothic Revival - The Historic ARK in Berea

"The place that is impressive is the iconic ARK in Berea, where the Jakupca's live and where they invited me to party's and to view their lives in action. David created this sustainable future showplace for the couturiers that caused a sensation when it debuted. In 1994 it appeared on the cover of the Plain Dealers HOME MAGAZINE, the areas prestigious journal."
"It was boule de neige - and it snowballed from there."  It was all new what the Jakupca's were doing then.....and what they still do." David is very innovative. Because of his style, he did things in the ARK in Berea that were truly workable long before anybody else did. He used recycled materials when they were not fashionable then, he turned the wasteful grassy front yard into a productive food bearing garden. He was very ahead of his time. "The Jakupca taste is not for everyone. The Jakupca's are only interested in their taste: they are sure of what they want and what they have is the best - not just commercially made objects but genuine Art...the ARK in Berea is probably the only place in the world that has Egg & Cove molding made with real eggs!
Today, internationally, many of the new robber barons try to emulate the Jakupca Look in their houses. A Big Mistake. Today, everyone wants to be green and earth friendly. Only the Jakupca's can do Jakupca's Style... and it looks ridiculous when others try to do it, especially in modern their prefab gated communities.  Attempts to copy this look entails a lot of 'cheating' without the necessary courage of originality...it is awful. But that is was makes the ARK in Berea unique.  Written by Eugene Schiopota

ICEALITY EDUCATION AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ARE THE KEYS TO SUCCESS IN 2017

A very exciting year is coming up, one which will let us all witness what will be likely exciting and most challenging in American history.

No matter if you are happy about your present situation or if you are rather very concerned about  the future, it has become very apparent how important it is to be well informed, as well as to have the ability to recognize and differentiate well researched and factually correct reporting from fake news sites.  In this regard, I am very grateful to the World Peace Daily Groups, the Worlds Children Peace Monument’s official international broadcasters.

Not only do they let us, via their members like Pakistan World Peace Daily, led by Pakistani Peace Emissary Baba Brohi stay in touch with the modern World, they also offer one of the most comprehensive, internationally versatile and neutral news platforms in the world – the WCPM news is available all around the Globe.

A good education, however, is the key to even being able to develop the desire for good news reporting.  Therefore, I am very happy about using Environmental Arts Education Initiative the “Iceality Methodology as Tool for Social Change” that was launched by the International Center for Environmental Arts in cooperation with the German Cultural Institutions, the Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM), the United Nations and many other international organizations.  The goal of the initiative is to get all the Worlds Children, especially students, interested in preserving their past while promoting their sustainable future. Studying here is tuition free - even for international students.  The knowledge of Peace, of course, is very important, which makes learning about Iceality more relevant and giving international exchange a nice boost.

 

The Worlds Children Peace Monument  is committed to support this initiative with many articles and news about this subject.

If you have passed the student age already, we hope that you share the information with your children and grandchildren.

We thank all of our members in advance for their patronage and support this upcoming year Wish you a very Happy and Successful Year ahead.

Peace Friends, 
Ambassador Renate

Ambassador Renate joins other World Leaders in extending condolences to Pakistani People over shrine blast

The Members of the Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM) collectively strongly condemns the deadly 16 February terrorist attack on a Sufi shrine in southern Sindh province, which has killed at least 80 people and wounded more than 250. A bomber blew himself up among devotees in the shrine of Sufi saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in the town of Sehwan, about 200 kilometers from Karachi. It has been the deadliest in a string of recent bombings claimed by the Islamic State, the Pakistani Taliban and other militants, with some 20 children among the victims.

Pakistan Peace Leader Baba Brohi, head of the Pakistan World Peace Daily Group, stated "It is sad that a Muslim shrine has been attacked in a Muslim country. We feel so helpless. The scourge of terrorism has spread like a cancer. It has long roots in our society," the Pakistani Peace Leader said. "The government and army alone cannot fight it alone. The whole nation should stand united, without discrimination of faith, use all peaceful methods of Iceality and reject these terrorists. "Terrorists lie when they claim to target only government departments and spare public or religious places. Attacks on shrines is a wider problem emerging from sectarianism; terrorism has no borders," he said.

Shrines are being targeted simply because they are crowded and people of all faiths visit them especially to listen to devotional songs. Religious fundamentalists only want bloodshed, there is no faith motivation. There are messages that churches will be attacked next. The terrorist follow Wahabi ideology which lauds the concept of jihad and urges hatred of infidels. Visiting shrines and churches to them is idol worship.
Ambassador Renate Jakupca, First Lady of Peace at the Worlds Children Peace Monument (WCPM) says; ”We are in shock seeing bloodshed every day, the extremism has reached a new peak. People now await the death toll after every incident. No religion or place on Earth is safe, people are being targeted everywhere", said the First Lady of Peace. "Terrorist agencies are trying to gain public attention. All Nations must wake up and use all resources to save lives. The only solution lies in understanding and respect for human and environmental rights and greater understanding between people from different racial and religious backgrounds must be the first goal of society in today's fast-changing, globalized world." The goal is accomplished according to Ambassador Renate, "Is by focusing on the creative process and affirming to the principles laid out in the "Theory of Iceality”.

“What we are witnessing is the result when religion combines with politics,” says Ambassador Renate “We are losing human value, only dialogue can bring peace with religious fundamentalists.”

"دین کی سیاست کے ساتھ یکجا کیا تو کیا ہم دیکھ رہے ہیں نتیجہ ہے،" سفیر رینیٹ کہنا ہے کہ "ہم انسانی قدر کھو رہے ہیں، صرف مکالمہ مذہبی بنیاد پرستوں کے ساتھ امن لا سکتے ہیں."
