DESCRIPTION:In the last 8 days, twelve volunteers with Food Not Bombs have been 
 arrested and face months  in jail and fines for serving free food to 
 homeless people in Orlando Florida with the anti-war organization Food Not 
 Bombs.\n\nThey are charged with serving more than 25 people without a 
 permit (permits are granted for this purpose only twice a year in any 
 particular park).\n\nBen Matheson, arrested last Wednesday, or a fellow 
 food felon will be speaking at 6 PM on Free Radio in a live 
 interview.\n\nKeith McHenry, co-founder of Food Not Bombs, will be speaking 
 at 6:30 PM.\n\nMcHenry apologized for not being on the air Sunday when he 
 apparently dialed the wrong number for the station.\n\nA brief Orlando 
 story on McHenry can be found at

 .\n\nKeith has spoken recently on Free Radio: 
 http://www.radiolibre.org/brb/brb110605.mp3\n\nHe'll brief us on his 
 arrest, the peculiar Florida legal system, and the continuing struggle to 
 serve food with a political message to the hungry and homeless.\n\nCall in 
 or e-mail in questions at rnorse3@hotmail.com .\n\nSANTA CRUZ NOTE:  Mayor 
 Ryan Coonerty has expressed his dislike of the Sunday "beanies and 
 burritos" food serving done every Sunday on Pacific Avenue near Soquel Ave. 
 in front of the vacant Borders building, and also criticized activist Brent 
 Adams for feeding people on that corner.\n\nformer Mayor Cynthia Mathews, 
 recently appointed to a closed-door committee that cut Social Service 
 spending, has spearheaded a drive to try and convict Father Joel Miller of 
 the Calvary Episcopal Church (the red church downtown) for his Monday food 
 service feeding the homeless, which still happens Mondays 5-7 PM at Cedar 
 and Lincoln.\n\nUnder pressure from merchants, pastor Dennis Adams moved 
 his meal from the publicly visible Town Clock area to the secluded Homeless 
 Service Center 4 PM on Sundays at 115 Coral St.\n\nYears ago Santa Cruz 
 SWAP (Soup Without a Permit) and Food Not Bombs successfully defined city 
 authorities here.  After many arrests and one famous conviction 
 (1989--Sandra Loranger), local authorities backed off from direct arrests.
