| Sunday Nostalgia – 12 Years Ago Today An Open Memo to Phil Hendrie May 6 2006 Memo to: Phil Hendrie From: Don Barrett It is indeed a sad day to know that you are leaving radio for the lure of television You aren’t the first to make the move Many other LARP made it successfully on a national basis You have a tail wind of talent in front of you Bob Eubanks the KRLA Top 40 jock who brought the Beatles to Southern California was the long-time host of the enormously popular Newlywed Game Wink Martindale dovetailed high profile radio jobs at KHJ KFWB KRLA and KMPC into a series of game show hosting that numbers well over 20 As far as drama one only has to follow David Hall’s journey from KNX/fm to pd at KKHR to coroner on the enormously successful original CSI In a sitcom success KNX morning man Bob Crane starred in Hogan’s Heroes We have followed your journey with the mercurial attempts with network pilots and then reveled in your success when NBC green lighted the sitcom that debuted earlier this year Teachers Network and production execs have convinced you that your future rests in television We’ve heard you on animated projects like King of the Hill and Futurama But we will miss you It’s not just you that we’ll miss but all of your alter egos Will Bobbie Dooley ever leave her gated community And what about your on-going feud with Combover Boy aka Tom Leykis Hopefully you will find a public home for Doug Dannger Vernon Dozier Ted Bell RC Collins and Margaret Gray When you weren’t talking with one of your character friends you were very self-revealing about the elections the war and your marriage difficulties We shared your wedding to radio royalty Maria Sanchez and you became an instant father to four Your 1997 marriage on the Queen Mary was officiated by Bill Handel and broadcast live on KFI During the last year you have shared the difficulties in your marriage and eventual separation We met on the phone in 1993 when you were working in Florida I was working on the first edition of Los Angeles Radio People You described your show but I never understood it until you returned to the Southland You left that first conversation with the declaration: “I’m doing one of the most creative talk shows in America featuring character voices and interactive improv comedy If you hear anyone else doing it they stole it from me” In 1996 you returned to KFI and gads it was like a firestorm of publicity buzz and fascination If indeed there was anything like water cooler talk you would have dominated the conversation It was not only the fascination of how you could talk to yourself but it was the choice of topics that seemed like they were pulled right out of the headlines of the day’s news Daily you were on your game for many years Celebrities lined up to get a prized invitation to watch you work You shared your “secrets” at the Museum of TV amp Radio in front of a SRO audience At industry conventions you were the star Your peer group gathered around you like you were a rock star You and I don’t communicate In the beginning you praised my work but something happened You requested or maybe it was demanded that I never mention your name again at LARadiocom Request denied You would have missed out on all the 1st place finishes in the yearly peer voting for the Best LARP of the Year You would have missed out on all the stories and email that praised your work When KFI decided to set you loose and you moved over to KLAC and your syndicated show bounced between LA Lakers games it seemed like all the energy had been sucked out of you The show never seemed the same Instead of consistency the show would spurt Too many repeats and Best Of shows were aired But even when you phoned it in it was unique programming But it was time to move on You’ve done it all You have nothing more to prove Your place in LARadio history is secure – make that the entire radio industry You have forever made an indelible mark as one of the truly innovative creative and brilliant radio minds When you were on your game you were the best There will simply be no one like you – ever again With sadness the LA radio community sheds a tear for its loss but we will get to watch you on a much bigger canvas Once all your energy is directed toward the eye in the tube watch out There’s nothing to suggest that you won’t be an enormous success in the second half of your life And I’ll never look at the aluminum foil on my baked potato again without thinking of Ted Bell’s Steak House in Beverly Hills Email Saturday 70s Never Sounded Old “Talk about thought-provoking The ‘Oldie not an Oldie’ question really made me think To me an Oldie is from the 50’s and 60’s Of course growing up in the 60’s I listened to everything from Big Band to Marty Robbins and the Monkees And it helped to have KMPC on the dial along with Boss Radio KFWB and KRLA So the 70’s never sounded old to me Now when you listen to K-EARTH I don’t think they play anything other than a Beatle song or Led Zeppelin from the 60’s or 70’s I think maybe we had it better as far as diversity From recitation songs to ‘flying records’ to Broadway/Movie soundtracks as long as it was good or even interesting Top 40 played it Even now JACK/fm will slip in the album version of One Night In Bangkok next to Foster the People or Def Leppard – that’s a mix! Hopefully the Clear Channels and iHeart Radios will allow space in their stations for crossover talent/music that has that relevance or hook And stop eating their own just to eliminate competition” – Julie Byers When Is an Oldie Not an Oldie “Answer: When radio started to believe that its mission was to program stringently bordered ‘categories’ to one-dimensional listeners instead of ‘music memories emotions’ ‘information/history” and “entertainment” to complex human beings The lack of such artists as Chuck Berry Little Richard Buddy Holly Elvis Presley countless Motown acts and so many more from today’s terrestrial radio consciousness is an embarrassment Don’t get me wrong I am a devote futurist But if you don’t know where you are coming from it sure limits your understanding of the road ahead” – Michael Harrison TALKERS Real Oldies “I really enjoyed reading Monday’s column on the Oldies When I was in my teens Oldies meant songs from the 1930’s and 40’s The Big Band era and songs popular during World War II were not mentioned in your missive I was not around during that time but I do remember songs such as In the Mood or Tuxedo Junction by Glenn Miller Other big bands included Count Basie and Artie Shaw Since I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area I still remember KSFO and KNBR playing the Oldies I mentioned above Do very many people remember Frank Dill or Don Sherwood I believe that your discussion on what makes an Oldie an Oldie is valid If my parents were still around they may have a different point of view about what constitutes an Oldie Keep up the good work If you ever get to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on!” – Sterrett Harper Burbank Joe Benson’s New Assignment “Yes we are all fans of Uncle Joe” – Karen Martin Florence amp Normandy “YEAAA for Joe Benson! Hope it includes NHRA coverage I’ll be banging down his door Quick story about our Uncle Joe Joe and his much better half Jan are along for the ride and afternoon shift in the KFWB Jet Copter 98 Wayne Richardson at the controls me in the reporter’s seat left front with Jan and Joe in the back ALL of us in tears listening to an Uncle Joe story about a rock and roll legend interview and we’re not 50 feet off the ground just leaving Van Nuys airport The date is 29 April 1992 In about 15 minutes the mood in our world changes dramatically Wayne has us positioned just North east of Florence and Normandy all hell is breaking loose I’m reporting on everything I can see We hear someone in an LAPD airship say on a frequency that we all can hear ‘you know I think were being fired at from the ground!’ A second later Joe taps me on the shoulder and with his very best straight-faced smile with raised eyebrows says ‘maybe you guys could take Jan and I back to Van Nuys Airport’ Joe tells that story every time we meet up at some racetrack with embellishments I will never repeat Love you Joe I hope you land exactly where you want to be with a pant load of Long time listener and Gear Head buddy” – Jeff Baugh Townsquare’s Newest “Congratulations Joe Benson! Wishing you all the best at your new gig” – Phil Harvey KFAC Ad “That KFAC ad with the nude woman in a mink threw me for a loop I don’t recall seeing it before and I’ve got to think that pd Carl Princi who was one of the classiest guys I ever met he was the first radio person I met when I was 7 and sparked my desire to become a broadcaster must have had issues with it There’s got to be a story there Your brief story on the Tappet brothers jogged my memory of one of the shows I syndicated in the mid-80s The Auto Report hosted by John Dinkle then the editor of Road and Track and wonderfully co-hosted by Bruce Chandler who I had met in the early 70s when he was at KMEN Bruce later tipped me off to an opening at Transtar where I spent the next 23 years What a treat working with him and with Dinkle who had been a frequent guest of Michael Jackson on KABC before joining our show” – Larry Jack Boxer Sad at Mark Morris Passing “I knew Mark Morris and we were friends I was impressed by his gentlemanliness and valued his friendship I am shocked and appalled at the news of his untimely death He shall surely be missed” – Laura Brodian Freas Beraha Best Employee “Mark Morris was one of the best employees l have ever had Always calm I often quote him about not letting obstacles get in the way Go around He is missed” – Saul Levine Genial Personality “Sorry to learn of Mark Morris’ passing I always enjoyed seeing and talking with him during my promotional visits to KACE and KKJZ His genial personality and enthusiasm was truly an asset to his radio shows” – Don Graham Morris Nice Guy “Saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Morris One of the nicest guys I ever worked with RIP Mark One of the good guys” – Rob Frazier Morris Professional “Sad to hear of Mark Morris’ passing He was one of the best guys I ever worked with He was so professional at his craft An excellent radio dj and production guy He was always in a good mood and no task was too great for him He always got the job done But most especially his kindness toward others I never heard him speak an unkind word about anyone He had that great smile and laugh that I’ll miss The heavens are brighter with him” – Dominick Garcia Classic Uncle Joe Lands at Townsquare May 4 2018 Uncle Joe Benson veteran of KLOS twice for over 15 years KLSX ‘Arrow 93’ KCBS and most recently 1003/The Sound has landed a nighttime syndicated program for Townsquare’s weeknight “Ultimate Classic Rock” He will be able to do the show heard on 60 stations from his home “I’ll be saving 2-25 hours traffic each day” said Uncle Joe Joe had a long tenure as host of Westwood One’s weekly “Off the Record” and many of his interviews stories and videos will be part of “Ultimate Classic Rock” program “I know all the elements I know all the songs I can tell my stories I’ve been doing for years I’ll be able to do the features I’ve done for years There will probably be a 1010 a story on ‘this day in history’ and various other features that will allow me to tell stories” Joe said by phone yesterdayGrowing up in the Midwest Joe would frequently just go out to his garage with his buddies and hang out He took that same concept in chatting with some of the biggest names in the music business “We opened up Uncle Joe’s Garage and started shooting videos during the interviews At least 5000 people view the interviews each week some weeks as many as 80000 I just love having fun with people” It was a matter of great timing for Joe and his boss Kurt Johnson a big dj in the 70s and early 80s at Townsquare “It took a couple of months to sort out the situation with Entercom and CBS and Townsquare was looking to make a change with the ‘Ultimate Classic Rock’ program I already knew how to do syndication since ‘Off the Record’ has been going for twenty years” The AOR legend proudly talked about his kids His daughter is graduating from the University of the Pacific “She’s a performance bassoonist and going for her Master’s in Toronto My son is an extraordinary guitarist and this summer his band will be on tour He’s extraordinary Steve Miller has been his mentor Just to see the talent in the two kids I wish my dad was around to see it” In 1968 Joe started working for a small station in Dubuque After stops in Milwaukee and Cleveland he joined KLOS in October 1980 “I’ve had the pleasure of working with a lot of great people” In January 1995 the Classic Rock station KLSX hired Joe to reprise his popular Sunday night show as well as do fill-in In summer 1996 he returned to KLOS to host 7th Day and by January 1997 was working afternoon drive In August 1997 Joe took the morning shift at Arrow 93 featuring more of his ‘stories’ to compliment the music intensive Classic Rock format Over the years he has written several volumes of discographies Uncle Joe’s Record Guides Joe a racecar enthusiast and driver has also been covering motor sports on-air since 1986 and has been announcing at the California Speedway since its inception in 1997 “The sport I enjoy the most I can participate in it a little bit That’s pretty fun” In other news: Peter Bowen former DOS for CBS/LA has taken on the Director of Sports assignment at Entercom/Chicago Bowen was most recently vp/market manager of the Cumulus/Chicago cluster until September 2017 … Ben Shapiro formerly mornings at Salem’s KRLA is launching a second Ben Shapiro podcast a Sunday new long-form interview series The idea behind the Sunday series is to provide more in-depth interviews while not disrupting the fast-paced daily news format of the weekday show Shapiro is also a nationally-syndicated columnist since age 17 and a graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law School … Ken Minyard longtime morning man at KABC has some striking thoughts about radio that he shared on Facebook: “I just listened to a couple of commercial radio stations this morning for the 1st time in years It’s easy to see why terrestrial radio is dying If you are accustomed to listening to satellite radio or podcasts or any of the other Internet options it is almost impossible to tolerate the avalanche of commercials fired at you Back when I was in the game it was just as bad but listeners didn’t have the choices they have today The path forward is pretty bleak Today’s radio is just as outdated as 8-track tapes imo” Mark Morris LARP Veteran for 30 Years Dies May 3 2018 Mark Morris a beloved local broadcaster died yesterday of a ruptured fistula He had been on kidney dialysis for a few years Most recently Mark had a show at Hot923thebeatcom He was thought to be in his 50s according to Johnny St John Newton who gave Mark his first job in 1988 at KKLA “Mark was a gentleman” said Johnny by phone this morning while fighting back tears “He was first class all the way He was very very professional in his job” The native Los Angeleno grew up near Baldwin Park He got the radio bug while working on Loyola Marymount University’s college station KXLU where he was general manager for two years During his tenure as manager the staff won back-to-back awards as Radio Station of the Year With a sparkle in his voice he proclaimed his school the “Marines of God” Mark did morning drive news and production at KKLA then moving to SI Communications between 1988 and 1990 Mark was also part of the morning drive team at KACE during its “Quiet Storm” period While at KLSX in the mid 90’s he was the host and producer of a syndicated NAC show “Night Songs” that was heard on over 20 stations His radio resume was deep In addition to the above named stations he was a producer at Alan Beck’s Underground Oldies Show production director at 1110/KRLA working with Huggy Boy Art Laboe and Mucho Morales production director at AM 1100 KFAX production director at Salem/San Francisco air talent at Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters production director at Oldies 1260 morning show host at K-JAZZ production director at Mega 100 which became Hot 923/fm production director at Comedy World and director of production at KLSX 971 FM “I last spoke to Mark on April 10th” emailed Mike Johnson operations director at K-JAZZ “He seemed in good spirits and we had talked about meeting one day soon for lunch and going to a Dodger game He was a great man and a true professional I will miss him” AMP Says Yes to Yesi May 3 2018 I met Yesi Ortiz former middayer at Power 106 and now at the same slot at AMP Radio at an SCBA function at Disneyland Her energy was undeniable as she met guests from the theme park and signed autographs She has an incredible personal life raising six adopted kids LA Weekly published a 2015 story about Yesi by Rebecca Haithcoat Here are some highlights: As a child Yesi Ortiz was so shy that she would opt for an F rather than speak in front of the class “I always felt like I was an outsider I used to talk to myself — I still do!” says the petite bubbly Ortiz bursting into laughter and wrapping her hands around a steaming cup of spiced apple tea one brisk evening But her most impressive title might be “Mom” In addition to her duties on air she juggles being an adoptive mother to six kids “I’m very successful because of the drama in my life” says Ortiz Her lips are curved into a perma-smile “There’s no time to have a pity party” Born in San Clemente to Mexican immigrants who spoke little English and divorced when she was a baby Ortiz had difficulty making friends The town was predominantly white yet she was one of a handful of Latinos taking ESL classes To make blending in trickier Ortiz and her mother stepfather and sister all lived in a single room they rented in someone’s apartment Adrift after graduating high school in the late 1990s Ortiz was listening to Power 106 and heard a commercial advertising the Academy of Radio and Television Broadcasting She and her mother had a stormy relationship but watching her mom learn English by singing along to the radio was its one sunny spot So she signed up and in less than six months had landed a gig as the “Latin Diva” at a new station in Las Vegas Her career was taking off but there was trouble at home Six of her sister’s children had been taken into foster care Ortiz found a radio job in San Diego but the station was located in Tijuana Having spent a good chunk of her savings on hiring a lawyer to fight for the kids she moved into a cheap apartment in TJ and survived on peanut butter–and-jelly sandwiches Her perseverance paid off — within two years she had become the 25-year-old foster mother of three boys and three girls all of whom she later adopted She has appeared on the popular VH1 show Love amp Hip-Hop but the fame hasn’t gone to her head — her kids are a built-in equalizer “They don’t care that I was just on air with JLo” Ortiz says hopping into her mom van “They just want to know what’s for dinner” Read the entire story by clicking Yesi’s photo provided by Ryan Orange Two LARPs on the TIME 100 Most Influential TIME’s annual list of the world’s most influential people is a designation of individuals whose time in our estimation is now The TIME 100 isn’t a measure of power though many on the list wield it Nor is it a collection of milestones accumulated As our staff considers candidates we often find ourselves wowed by those with stunning lifetime achievements But editorial director Dan Macsai maestro of the TIME 100 brings us back to the key question: Was this their year by Dick Durbin Jimmy Kimmel is a funny man and he makes a living telling jokes about people like me Washington never fails to give him plenty of material But my favorite Jimmy moment was a serious monologue with only a few laughs Last year Jimmy told America the story of his infant son Billy who was born with a congenital heart condition and the extraordinary care that saved his life And then Jimmy looked into the camera and told all of us in Washington to get real about health insurance and make sure every baby Billy had a fighting chance Night after night he sparred with the politicians who tried to take health insurance from millions of Americans In the end we stopped them with one vote in the Senate and one great comedian on late-night TV Thanks Jimmy Durbin is a US Senator from Illinois and the Democratic whip by Newt Gingrich Sean Hannity has a remarkable impact between three hours of radio and an hour of TV every day His fans listen to him and learn from him One of his biggest fans is President Donald Trump who routinely watches the TV show and talks with Sean as a fellow New Yorker Hannity played a major role in helping Trump get the nomination and win the general election Sean is both a principled conservative and a ferocious opponent of the left and the deep state He has made and is making a difference Gingrich is a former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Click and Clack Headed to Automotive Hall of Fame May 1 2018 “Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers” are voted into the Automotive Hall of Fame Even though first-run versions of the show ended with Tom Magliozzi’s death in 2012 they are still heard in rerunsTom and his brother Ray Magliozzi were running a D-I-Y garage in the Boston area when they started to drop by Boston’s not-for-profit News/Talk WBUR “to offer their advice and their self-deprecating humor” said Hemmings Motor News That was in 1977 They later began guesting with Susan Stamberg on NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday which led in 1987 to their own hour-long Car Talk show on National Public Radio In other news: Now live across the country and airing

comes over after a decades-long run at Power 106 Born and raised in Orange County she commuted every weekend during college to Las Vegas to get her start in radio She is part of the Style Network’s “Latina Modern Mom” initiative which targets Hispanic moms between 18 and 49 years old with new programming and makeovers of existing shows Yesi also hosted a reality show called Single With 7 Rob Marinko closely associated with KABC for years is moving to Winter Park Florida near Orlando “Besides the obvious economics we simply feel lost here in California” wrote Rob on his Facebook page “This is not an ad campaign for Florida as it has its own unique challenges We feel our views and quaint law-abiding nature is not represented by anyone in power here It’s not all about the politics and

Maybe April 30 2018 While preparing this column on “what defines an Oldie” I had SiriusXM on my radio Their 60s channel was counting down the big hits of January 1960 A shorthand look at the 50s would probably include Chuck Berry Elvis Presley and Fats Domino while the 60s split between the Beach Boys The Beatles and Motown And then there was everything in between Included in the January 1960 countdown was Scarlett Ribbons by the Browns Uh Oh Part Two by the Nutty Squirrels and the Village of St Bernadette by Andy Williams Would you consider any of these three songs hits representative of the era Hardly but there they were in the Top 20 of that chart Trying to answer the question of when an Oldie was no longer considered Oldies is prompted by an earlier question from Rich Brother Robbin proprietor of RichBroRadio on the Internet His site plays primarily the hits from the 50s and 60s He asked if the cutoff for the Top 40 era is earlier or even later Gary Lane thinks the cutoff year was 1963 “You know it’s kind of funny Tom Clay Pat Michaels and I were talking about this years ago at KWIZ in Santa Ana” emailed Gary Dodger Steve believes a true Oldie stands the test of time and can get people moving and grooving whenever and where it’s played The Disco era signaled the end of Oldies for Bob Scott “If I had to pick a year I would say 1973” “My short answer is that there is no answer” emailed Lane Quigley longtime host on RockItRadionet “Music is in a constant state of evolution Even on those rare occasions when there seemed to be a ‘big bang’ eg Beatles / Rock Around The Clock that music evolved from all that came before” Quigley continued: “You will recall that when I was doing my Memory Lane Show on KUSC in the 70’s we played ‘pre-Beatle Oldies’ That was a convenient delineation of the end of the first era of rock amp roll mainly because it seemed to generate interest in music to a younger audience than what came before It was probably the last such clear delineation Over time I think the term Oldies has come to represent Rock music through the end of the 60’s Most folks will always think the music of their school years was the best but the term ‘Oldie’ does not generally seem to be applied to music from the 70’s and beyond” “I think that the British invasion and influence from bands like the Grass Roots Paul Revere and the Raiders Gary Lewis and the Playboys Credence Clearwater etc all contributed to making some of the late 50’s and early 60’s music sound really old” emailed Craig Roberts “Many of those 60’s songs played well up to the mid 70’s then of course the ‘New Wave’ sound of the 80’s made those records sound old Time marches on and so does music” “First while as a convenience I keep my favorite Oldies 50s-and-60s in a single sub-directoryin reality I consider 1968 as an end of Oldies” wrote Chime Hart of Sherman Oaks “The music of ‘69 was much less enjoyable especially among slower records along with Progressive Rock invading While there are some songs from each year which I enjoy it does seem to go in cycles Just as a lull in 1960 1970 was not so good but 1961 and 1971 had lots of material I purchased As for early Oldies stations my friend up in Oakland says KWIZ went Oldies on January 7 1965” Personally I’m a big fan of 50s and 60s music because it is in my wheelhouse when I went to school Memories are usually associated with a period of first-discoveries in relationships When Rich first posed the question I thought back to 1968 I was national program director for Gordon McLendon based in Dallas We were invited to an Iron Butterfly concert After 15 minutes of In Gadda Da Vida I turned to my wife and said “The music has now passed me by” Thanks to those who participated Rock on … My buddy with the blast furnace energy Rich Brother Robbin gets the last word: My view is that “Top 40” and “Oldies” are different formats Top 40 is the 40 most popular songs as determined by the best research we could get on any given week Oldies is totally different from Top 40 and is far more subjective When the Oldies format really caught fire in the mid-70’s through early 80’s we literally threw in the kitchen sink For example we played El Paso by Marty Robbins “hey it was number one for the entire year in 1960” or even more odd Bobby Vinton’s There I’ve Said it Again a chart-topper in 1964 that eclipsed a whole gob of super-smash Beatles songs just because it was number one We quickly discovered the MOR Country and fringy novelty stuff didn’t synergize with the rest of the playlist of pop hits and artists We realized playing Oldies was more about the sonic compatibility of songs versus their chart position Should There I Said it Again get more airplay than I Want to Hold Your Hand just because the former charted higher the year of release Of course not We discovered it was more about “fit” though what “fits” and “doesn’t fit” is subjective We learned stations which kept the music poppin’ offering three or four up-tempo tunes for every ballad or “slower” song got better and better audiences Music research entered into programming then there was good ol’ Bill “less songs bigger hits more often” Drake making changes at KRTH cutting the playlist to 300 – 400 selections and the ratings soared Instead of old stodgy numbers or silly Country bullshit Oldies stations playing more up-tempo songs and knock-your-head off ballads like the Righteous Brothers had greater success So am guessin’ my answer to the question is it’s about music from an era that match sonically The real question is which songs fit together Starting from Elvis there’s the Beatles Beach Boys Everly Brothers Chuck Berry good ol’ American pop from the late 50’s and 60’s Motown more of the British Invasion and so on probably through a year or two after the Beatles’ break-up in 1969 In the end the Oldies format is the Oldies format but it’s jus not that black-and-white We have mainstream Oldies mellow Oldies rock Oldies poppy wimpy Oldies sickening or romantic depending on your disposition and gender sappy ballads and on and on They’re ALL Oldies! So Oldies is like ice cream We all know what it is but the hook is coming up with the most popular flavors for the folks livin’ around your particular ice cream stand! Nostalgia Sunday Bonus – On this Day in 2006 Dan Avey Star and 2009 Clear Channel Massive Firings USC Strikes Up the Band for Star Dan Avey April 29 2006 Members of the USC Marching Band put everyone at the Dan Avey Star unveiling on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a festive mood and apparently held off the threatening rain clouds “We have the band we might as well have a pep rally” declared Johnny Grant Master of Ceremonies at the Star unveiling and Honorary Mayor of Hollywood About 8:30 am yesterday morning members of Dan’s family who had been at staying at the Roosevelt Hotel walked up Hollywood Boulevard looking for a place to have breakfast They decided to walk by the El Capitan Theatre and get a sneak peek at Dan’s Star Yikes!

pair into his office Cooke had just signed Datsun now Nissan to a long-term contract and insisted that Datsun be inserted into the play-by-play call in every game Cooke suggested “There’s Marcella Dionne scooting down the ice like a Datsun” Pictured: Johnny Grant presenting LA City Proclamation “I can’t imagine Mr Cooke ever saying that once let alone 80 times a year” Bob remembered telling his

game…and the Dan would say Datsoon” Miller also told another story on Avey Dan sent an audtion package to KFI to get hired He had been working in Spokane “Dan got the rudest letter from the program

Beatles to John Wooden From the President of the United States to OJ Simpson and everybody in between Today is like the frosting on the cake I am so indebted to all of you I’ve worked with Some of my bosses really took a chance – Jhani Kaye Greg Tantum and Erik Braverman who worked for five months to get me to KABC” Dan concluded: “To all my colleagues friends and family it is great to have you all here You have enriched my life by being here” Sunday Nostalgia – 9 Years Ago Today Nearly 600 at Clear Channel Get Downsized April 29 2009 Another tough day of layoffs for close to 600 Clear Channel employees across the country The company is not providing any names of those who were let go on Tuesday though it appears programming and administrative were hardest hit The following list is pieced together from various sources: Steve Reisig – HR Director Al B Sure – KHHT HOT 923 abshot923gmailcom Rick Nuhn – KHHT PJ Butta – KHHT Ted Ziegenbusch – KOST tedziggyaolcom Brie Tennis – KOST lefromageverizonnet Christian Wheel – KBIG MY/fm christianwheelgmailcom DJ Ray Rhodes – KBIG RRhodes401aolcom Larry Davis – KBIG There were messages about dozens of behind-the-scenes administrative people being let go besides those on-air listed above Also included were weekenders and board ops If you were let go and would like your email address made available LARadio is very willing to publish it No CC cluster seemed spared yesterday Chris Carmichael at SDRadionet reports that at least a dozen Clear Channel employees were let go The Inland Empire CC cluster was also affected The severance package is the same as the one offered in January when 1850 lost their jobs Employees who worked for the company less than a year were given three months’ severance One to two years of service are offered six months while for those with Clear Channel for three years or more the severance package is nine months pay At the time of the January layoffs Mark Mays ceo of Clear Channel said “We enter 2009 as a solid company and in the most competitive position possible We have thought carefully and at some length about the steps we need to take as a company to succeed during this unprecedented downturn As a result we have eliminated approximately 1850 positions across Corporate Outdoor and Radio While a significant portion of these positions represent a realignment in our sales departments the positions span all departments and represent approximately 9 of the total Clear Channel Communications workforce Everyone in our investor group on the Board and in the executive leadership team remains bullish about the long-term growth prospects for Clear Channel We continue to believe that the Outdoor and Radio businesses offer excellent opportunities Some of the remaining Clear Channel employees were told that the company anticipated no further mass layoffs AllAccess reported: “A company-wide change announced in parallel is that after April 30th 401k matching would be suspended for this year It will however be retroactively restored if 90 of the 2009 budget goals are met for employees who continue to contribute to the 401k plan and are eligible” Yesterday afternoon Clear Channel president/ceo John Hogan wrote an internal memo to the staff: In January we took the first steps to adjust our business to the realities that all media companies face this year Those actions were in response to initial results of a thorough analysis of every part of our business The actions weren’t easy and were necessary to make sure we remain competitive this year and are in the best possible position once the economy begins to recover Today we completed the adjustments based on the final results of that analysis The introduction of technology brings tremendous efficiencies to every industry and also fundamentally changes the way business is done On a personal level one of the most difficult contradictions technology creates is that increased productivity effectively eliminates jobs The media industry is no different than any other business in this respect At the same time along with difficult choices we continue to make progress We have introduced and created a host of resources that help us: make better decisions serve our customers and audiences more effectively and lower our cost of doing business These resources are crucial to the future health and growth of Clear Channel Radio While we remain optimistic about our business economic conditions continue to be challenging It is up to all of us ‘from senior management to the front lines’ to continue to improve our competitive position We must deliver the highest value to our audiences and our advertisers while doing everything we can to help drive revenues We can all be proud that Clear Channel Radio outperformed all other radio companies in the first quarter this year It’s imperative that we remain focused on maintaining this lead as we hopefully move closer to a market recovery This is the time for creative thinking about better ways to engage our audiences This is the time to find new ways to bring more value to our marketing partners and advertisers This is the time to make smart decisions about resources costs and investments We see enormous long-term opportunity in our business if we continue to do the right things to make our company better and even more competitive I thank you for your hard work and dedication and look forward to working with you to realize that success John Hogan Email Saturday 42818 Condition of Scott St James “Omg Sorry for poor Scott St James Life

gravitated to 885 KCSN/KBSR Why The music We love all the eclectic stuff that 885 plays We get tired of the same 20 songs that KLOS plays now GNR’s Welcome to the Jungle comes to mind In fact this station is so good our 17-year-old daughter and her friends listen to it as well We don’t care for the promotions Never have never will Just play the music Old stuff we haven’t heard in ages Not the same 20 songs like Born to Run Old Time Rock and Roll Rock and Roll All Night etc “The Sound used to do that before they decided to mimic KLOS” – Ruben Gonzalez Lake Forest Hats Off to Larry “Thank

Don was super but the Stern signing produced ‘zero’” – Larry McKay Last of Originators of American Top 40 Dies April 27 2018 Don Bustany died this week He was one of the last of the four original creators of the iconic American Top 40 “He was family to us and we got to spend time with him last weekend before he passed We got to talk and laugh and hug each other one last time” said Kerri Kasem daughter of Casey Kasem “Now he’s with his beloved wife Judy and my dad along with countless friends” He was 90 For those familiar with the recording of Casey’s outtakes from a recording session that have been widely circulated Don is forever immortalized in the phrase Get Don on the phone!

Ridiculous and shameful for the industry” Sky proclaimed Criticism of the ratings industry is nothing new Unless you are 1 everyone seems to have concern over their accuracy “We have seen our online listening increase by 40” wrote Daniels “Social media postings reaching 2 million impressions and our current pledge drive is breaking all records including the week that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were playing our first benefit which made history in the radio annals” Sky knows firsthand the seduction of striving to be 1 “I know talking about ratings can always sound like sour grapes However having developed stations like the Loop where one out of every two Chicago teens apparently listened to my show my question back then was wondering what the other teens were listening to I too have been seduced by the nectar that is 1 in the ratings Non-comm offers hope to those who want a deeper less predictable radio experience Listeners deserve better radio” “Having a listener donate 100 in an ‘honor system’ is way more compelling than ‘cume’” continued Daniels “When it comes to ratings sadly very few broadcasters look at the big picture For example when KSCA jumped from 32 to FIRST with the morning host taking just FOUR meters and set them to “hear” his show Ironically did the industry collectively revolt that four meters could impact the LA book that dramatically No They focused on ‘he cheated’” The LA Times wrote: “Nielsen has been attempting to verify that individuals who participated in its sample audience panel were truly independent and did not have ties to any radio stations or radio personalities that were being measured The ratings agency said that it needed to ‘remove a household from the panel for not meeting our quality standards’ Radio industry insiders said such actions were unprecedented One person said the move marked the first time in more than a decade that the release of radio ratings in Los Angeles had been postponed due to such concerns” Mark Ramsey a leading audio thinker wrote: “One single household has this scale of impact In LA! So what’s really going on here”“The rumor in the radio industry is that this particular household had media ties and the usage recorded was significant enough to skew the overall ratings for the market” wrote Ramsey “Indeed how could it be otherwise Because if one household mattered so little to the overall results then why would Nielsen bother to hold back the ratings for the entire market in the first place The very withholding of the data implies that one household has the potential to skew the whole in a significant way” Ramsey went on: “Ponder that for a moment: One household in Los Angeles has the potential to meaningfully skew the ratings for America’s largest market! And if this one household can do that in LA then can’t any one household in any market do it any time What does this say about the validity of the metrics Why is one goofy household with outlandish listening habits be any more goofy than any other goofy household with outlandish listening simply because it is affiliated with a local media company” Turns out it was two households involved but still Meanwhile Sky will continue to champion new music by emerging musicians as well as veteran artists resulting in shout-outs from A-list rockers including Paul McCartney Ringo Starr Tom Petty Jackson Browne U2 and Bonnie Raitt Sting added his name to that list saluting “… the station’s format for providing much appreciated exposure to him and other musicians who have fallen out of favor with Top 40 and other commercial radio outlets” KJLH Ticket Giveaway Roger Collins Dies April 25 2018 Roger Collins veteran of KFI 1978-83 KUTE 1983-87 and KLIT 1989-90 passed away April 23 of colon cancer John Rook hired Roger at KFI as music director and assistant pd Roger was thrilled to be working with the All-Star staff that Rook had assembled Born Paul Lancaster in Winslow Arizona he started his radio career in 1963 in Winslow followed by jobs in Holbrook Arizona and Odessa Texas From 1971 until arriving in the Southland Roger worked in the Tucson market He was sports director of KGUN/TV pd of KTKT and KRQQ Roger was director of instruction at the Los Angeles Broadcasters School during much of the 80s He was also operations director of Breneman Radio Services and the Breneman Review After returning to Arizona Roger produced video workshops for school kids at Northern Arizona University and was a consultant to Native American education radio for the Navajo Nation He also programmed KAFF FM/AM KMGN/fm KVNA-FM/AM and KZGL/fm He went on to sales in Flagstaff“Roger had only been sick for a couple of months” emailed colleague Jeffrey Leonard “Roger called me back in late February to tell me that the cancer had just been discovered and he was getting treated He had an incredibly positive attitude having beaten prostate cancer 10 years ago The last text I received from him was on April 9th when he simply said ‘thanks for being a great friend’ All texts after that went unanswered Roger reminded me a lot of Mark Denis He was an extraordinarily spiritual person who never said anything bad about anyone ever Needless to say I am heartbroken Rest in peace Rog” Roger was among the couple of dozen or so pros who taught at Jimi Fox’s broadcast school Los Angeles Broadcasters aka The LAB remembered Randy West When I was hired Roger indoctrinated me to the format yes of course Jimi had it tightly formatted!

Oldie April 23 2018 Rich Brother Robbin has been a friend since 1966 We share a love for Oldies music the kind of music made popular in the 50s and 60s We had the first full-time 24/7 live Oldies station in the country in Detroit at W4 in 1969 After his run on CHR/Oldies ran out he started his own radio station on the Internet at RichBroRadiocom We were talking about music recently when Rich posed a question that may be of fodder for you For those of you who still love Sam Cooke Fats Domino and Chuck Berry at what point in history did music change to something that doesn’t “fit” with what we know as “hardcore Oldies” When is a song no longer a legit Oldie something different than the stuff from the 70s “When / what is the general year / years when most of the songs changed enough to sonically stop fitting with the older stuff” asked Rich I came up with my own answer but thought I would share it after others have had an opportunity to also do so What do you think Don’t forget our email address has changed to: AvilaBeachdbgmailcom Nostalgia Sunday – 9 Years Ago Today Hats Off to Larry April 22 2009 You’d think Southern Californians would be used to earthquakes yet when the ground starts shaking many wary residents call in to their local radio stations perhaps as a catharsis to the unexpected Recently a listener to KNX could hear callers describe the latest seismic event whether it was a sharp jolt a brief rolling motion and for what duration But then there was something more The anchor briefly chatted with each caller – did anything fell off the kitchen shelves at the caller’s home Any jittery nerves from the aftershocks Was the caller a long-time local resident or was it a first experience with an earthquake Have a home emergency kit prepared It was just like talking to a caring neighbor only it was being broadcast on a 50000 watt radio station Then again when the news anchor once hosted a tv program called Help Thy Neighbor offering a personal touch to his listeners should be second nature for Larry Van Nuys When last interviewed by LARadiocom back in 1998 Larry said he’d decided to leave radio because of the precariousness of ongoing format changes “After a many years in radio and television I made the successful transition to a very lucrative career as a voice talent every day doing promos commercials and trailers much of it out of my home studio” said Larry There was really no pressing reason for him to return to radio Yet there was something missing “After ten or so years I missed the interaction with friends and co-workers I had been doing some fill-in news anchoring at Arrow 93 in morning drive When it made the switch to JACK/fm I called Ed Pyle KNX news director and told him I missed the excitement and challenges of radio He was so kind and generous and invited me to audition” Larry got the job as a weekend and fill-in anchor on the all-news station “In hiring me Ed gave me the opportunity to enter one of the most productive and satisfying chapters in this road many of us travel It has reawakened all the feelings of excitement that brought me into broadcasting in the first place” Larry also thanked former KNX gm David G Hall who put Larry in his current 7 pm to midnight news anchor duties each weeknight “Although it sounds cliché I wake up in the morning now and can’t wait to get to work It reminded me that what we do is meaningful…and fun!” Born in Providence Rhode Island Larry later moved to the Southland where he attended Los Angeles High School He recalls how important radio was from his earliest years “Radio was always a big part of my life As a youngster I listened to all the radio serial shows I remember sending away for a decoder ring so I could decode secret messages I waited for what seemed like months and then the excitement of going to the mailbox and seeing that little package … sitting there saying ‘OK big guy…now you’re in the in-crowd!’” Then it was Chuck Blore and KFWB Channel 98 on Larry’s radio dial “I always treasure the fact that later in life I actually got a chance to be directed for some spots by the architect of Color Radio Chuck Blore Larry also listened to KHJ as “Boss Radio and all the other iterations of modern radio flowed out of all our speakers day and night as I grew up” How did Larry first get interested in pursuing his own radio career “While the other kids were playing baseball I was playing dj using a wooden spoon for my microphone I actually ripped off all the labels of my mother’s canned food and pretended they were earphones For months she never knew what she was opening for dinner … she still kids me about that” Eventually Larry’s parents purchased him a Webcor tape recorder “and I was off to the races” His first job was at Saul Levine’s fm jazz station KBCA “I’ll always be grateful to Saul who gave me my first chance to do what I always dreamed of” Back then Larry’s audience was a bit limited “To even hear fm you had to have a special under-dash radio or if you really had some bucks you had a Blaupunkt installed in your car We didn’t have a lot of listeners or commercials … but I was finally a dj! My dear grandparents who would really be more comfortable with Montovani listened every night because they loved and were proud of me They could tell you the difference between Thelonius Monk and Chet Baker…bless their souls” Larry’s grandparents listened to their grandson at every opportunity “too bad we didn’t have the PPM’s in those years” Larry then traveled to KXO in El Centro doing just about everything at the station from powering up the transmitter to helping with janitorial duties “One of the proudest tasks I was assigned at KXO was to bring in the Richfield Reporter on Sunday nights which was fed from KNX in Los Angeles It was so exciting to be involved with a major market giant like that I never dreamed that I would ever get to actually work there What a trip it is to even remember the awe I felt and still feel for the station” One of Larry’s first stops in Los Angeles was KGFJ “I worked there with Hunter Hancock Rosko Bill Mercer and Larry McCormick et al On the day I auditioned I went into the studio to cut a demo and when I came out no one was around I found everyone gathered around a tv in a back office I asked what’s going on ‘Someone said the President’s been shot’ I actually remember saying ‘the President of what’ That was the day JFK was shot and killed I guess this falls into ‘Everyone remembers where they were that day’” Though Larry worked at other local stations including powerhouses such as KFI KMPC and KABC he is often best remembered from his days as the midday host on San Fernando’s KGIL “It was the best of times…this little low power teapot in the Valley was actually competing with the big 50000 watt giant KMPC In those days we chose our own music” KGIL did what it could to make itself visible “I sat in a broadcast trailer on the weekends doing remotes I think I opened every Taco Bell in the Valley One remote that still makes me smile is when I MC’d the opening of a new traffic light in Encino But I loved it!” The station also invited listeners to vicariously share with the KGIL family LA Times ad promoting Larry in the late 1960s “We did live reports from our wedding I did a remote from the hospital when my daughter was born I put together a one hour montage of music to reflect how happy I felt that day and the listeners were part of it” Larry’s colleagues at KGIL include many renowned personalities: “Sweet” Dick Whittington Tom Brown Wink Martindale and Paul Compton “all led brilliantly by Chuck Southcott” Larry fondly remembers when Paul Compton would offer the lyrical intro “we’re coming to the intersection of Compton and Van Nuys… Paul was an amazing and poetic man of great depth and character which came across on the air” “Larry had a great sense of the music His sense of the music was amazing Larry did some long shifts when he first started at KGIL doing 8-hour weekend and fill-ins yet he did a great job orchestrating his program over all that time” said Chuck Southcott Larry’s former colleague and program director Chuck chuckled as he told the story of the Studio City Christmas Parade for which Larry and Chuck served as emcees from an announcing booth “It was a terribly rainy day The grand marshal was Andy Griffith we went out with a mic and had him greet the crowd Then there were a number of female stars who were headed for the Queen Mary Larry went out in the street – in a pair of Gucci shoes – and talked to Carol Channing about what she was doing now a little bit about her career Why does Chuck always bring up the Guccis mused Larry There were other stars then Judy Garland appears Wait a minute we thought – Judy Garland is dead Turns out these starlets we interviewed were men dressed up as women female impersonators heading for a nightclub called the ‘Queen Mary’ not the ship in Long Beach It was a very strange night I shared with Larry” Of Larry’s current work Chuck said “he’s the best sounding news guy in town … he’s great on KNX” This series was researched and written by LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda In part 2 of “Hats off to Larry” more tales from KGIL including the recollections of Dick Whittington Larry’s tv work including – of course – Help Thy Neighbor voiceover work with Aaron Spelling Productions serving the Arthritis Foundation and more about what he enjoys today doing Newsradio You can reach Larry Van Nuys at: larryvngmailcom Larry Van Nuys has been a familiar face on tv for decades and now evening anchor at KNX Newsradio LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda talks with Larry about his career This is part two of our series Hats Off to Larry “Larry contributed many musically perfect shows at KGIL” said Dick Whittington Of Larry’s on-air persona “he’s was what Dr Phil would like to be Larry did it first on Channel 5 for many years” And Dick still tunes in to hear his former KGIL teammate “When Larry reads the news on KNX no matter how dire I always smile and say to myself: ‘Oh that couldn’t be happening that’s just ol’ ‘Lar’ going for another Edward R Murrow award” Van Nuys holding award from Arthritis organization for his two decade dedication in hosting annual telethon For his part Larry has his own story about the man once known as ‘Sweet Dick’ “He was finishing up his shift and called my wife Marsha and made it sound as though the call accidentally got on the air and said ‘well the jerk is going to be on the air for 5 hours so I’ll be over in about 20 minutes is there anything you want me to bring’ Marsha said without missing a beat ‘Kleenex’ Bill Smith late of KTLA who used to work with Dick in the morning still tells that story” Larry was also prominent on that other medium known as television “I had the good fortune to work at KTLA when Gene Autry owned it Given his stature and prominence globally it was amazing to watch him take the time to know everyone’s name on the lot and foster an environment that encouraged creative people to be their best” He recalls his days hosting the tv show Help Thy Neighbor “It was a live show that aired at 7:30 pm every night following Bowling for Dollars with Chick Hearn It was a show where people who needed some help would appear and the audience would call in with solutions It was live on the air I couldn’t possibly share all the amazing and emotional stories that played out on the air We found solutions for everything from people who needed a kidney to finding work for an unemployed elephant … I kid you not!” The show received national attention in publications including Newsweek Readers Digest and TV Guide as well as winning “a wheel barrow full” of prestigious awards Larry takes pleasure recalling his charity work during his years at KTLA “I co-hosted the national Arthritis Telethon for over 20 years often originating from the KTLA studios but also from other locales nationwide I would love to think that some of our efforts funded research that eased suffering or passed on information that alerted people of warning signs that helped them avoid years of chronic pain” His efforts on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation gave him the opportunity to work with many celebrities including the late Mayor of Hollywood Johnny Grant “One of the proudest moments for me was to be honored with the Arthritis Foundation’s Johnny Grant Humanitarian Award” said Larry Photo from mid-80s: Participants in early Arthritis Telethon include Victoria Principal Jane Wyman Larry and Marsha Van Nuys “I also hosted the forerunner to Wheel of Fortune called Guessword It was the same game Hangman but without the wheel and Vanna Also we didn’t give away trips to Europe or shiny new automobiles … it was more like dog food and hand towels It did however have the distinction of being maybe the only live game show in history” Larry would later become the voice of KTLA which led to other voiceover opportunities His game show hosting talents weren’t later wasted “Hosting Guessword helped me immensely when Dan Enright asked me to do the announcing for shows like Tic Tac Dough From there my skills grew and I found a whole new venue for my talent when Mike McLean an associate of Aaron Spelling hired me to voice his shows during the years he spent with ABC…Dynasty…The Love Boat…et al” But his voiceover career all started at KTLA “I will be forever grateful to Tony Cassara the gm of Channel 5 at the time He became the President of the Paramount Stations Group and opened up a whole new world of voiceover opportunities for me” Still it’s clear that Larry’s heart is still found behind a radio microphone “Radio is immediate intimate and ultimately a one on one relationship between you and someone who’s stuck in traffic at the workplace or streaming on the Internet in Timbuktu … it’s just the two of you” He describes the challenges of working at KNX “In News Radio it’s also vital and important work when people are concerned or fearful during an earthquake fire or an emergency when accurate information can be the difference between life and death I can’t begin to tell you how gratifying it feels to play a small but important part in that effort” Larry knows the challenges of providing information 24 hours a day Photo: An 11-year-old Larry Van Nuys as the ‘Borden’s Milkman’ with Kathy Godfrey sister of Arthur Godfrey KPHO-Phoenix “With the fast moving changing events around the world people have a hunger for news and all of us at KNX take that responsibility very seriously All the other broadcast disciplines are seductive in their own ways but they all have one thing in common – they are all about communicating they’re all about trying to identify your own truth and connecting with the people who are spending their valuable time with you” Hats Off to Larry Part 3 This morning is the final installment of our series on KNX Newsradio’s Larry Van Nuys This series was researched and written by Alan Oda LARadiocom senior correspondent Larry’s current boss KNX / KFWB director of news programming Andy Ludlum describes what Larry brings to the all-News operation: Larry is a warm and authentic communicator and I think that really comes through every time he turns on his mic There’s no question Larry truly enjoys being on the radio and the KNX 1070 Newsradio audience loves listening to him Would you like to see Larry delivering the news Here’s a 3-minute YouTube link: And it’s apparent that Larry is one veteran not content to sit on his laurels “My challenge is keeping it fresh and honest To make something that’s difficult look effortless It has taken me a lifetime to find my own voice in this business…and I’m still learning” He relates how he brings his experience honed on music formats to his all-news anchor duties at KNX “I think the trust that an audience has with you is a key element in the success of any broadcaster It takes years for an audience to really get to know you feel like a friend and for that trust to develop Also no matter what kind of radio you’re doing there needs to be an entertainment component Even with news I think your unique personality is a big part of the product and has a bearing on its ultimate success” Larry speaks with great appreciation and pride about his family “Much of my success can be linked to my wonderful family My wife Marsha has not only been my partner for 40 years but my number one groupie pal and lover She has been a fan from the very beginning and always been there to watch my back in the good times and the lean times I’m also so proud of my daughter Amanda She has taken her Vassar education and blossomed into a truly amazing young woman As I’ve told her if there is such a thing as reincarnation I would love to come back as one of her children She is now a marketing executive at a major company in the Internet space” Larry Van Nuys eating crow after losing a 1980 Super Bowl bet with a Pittsburgh radio station The Rams lost to the Steelers 31 – 19 Larry humbly acknowledges his blessings from his on-air journey “We are all influenced by those who came before us For me Johnny Magnus was my hero…I wanted to be that great someday It still shocks me that I’ve had so many opportunities to know and work with some of the iconic figures in our business Sitting in for Ken amp Bob at KABC … Dick Whittinghill and Robert W Morgan at KMPC … following Lohman and Barkley at KFI These are the people I grew up admiring These are the people that remind me that excellence isn’t achieved without hard work and a love and respect for the audience Again how wonderful it is when you get to do what you love … I still have the passion” You can reach Larry at: larryvngmailcom Email Saturday 42118 Times Moving “Great seeing the photo of Bob McCormick on today’s page He’s a guy I miss encountering at the station back in the day… and a couple times at Flair Cleaners in Burbank Hard to believe ‘back in the day’ is 12 years ago already” – Ed Pyle Hayes Played a Role “Thank you for reprinting the Johnny Hayes story Growing up I shared many of the same thoughts and excitement about radio that Johnny enjoyed to the point that I became a huge fan of KYA living in Palo Alto I wanted to attend college in SoCal partially because of the radio business Dreams became reality when Johnny gave me my first job in life at the wondrous KRLA in 1968! What a life experience My business path was set thanks to him” – Ann Beebe Remembering Johnny Hayes “Thank you for the LARadiocom Nostalgia Sunday piece on Johnny Hayes I wasn’t a regular KRLA listener during my younger days in the West Valley — KMPC was our regular station during my most impressionable listening years — but when listening alone with the dial at arm’s length I’ve rarely been able resist the impulse to tune the dial to see what else is on There are many ways for a radio station to capture my ears but among the rarest is the voice that I could just sit and listen to regardless of what he or she is saying The voice of Johnny Hayes was one of those voices as they say what a great set of pipes As a radio listener I would sometimes fantasize being a program director There were three disc jockeys I wanted for my imaginary station: Johnny Magnus Chuck Niles and Johnny Hayes each playing whatever he wanted as long as he talked between each record I’m glad to read more about the man with that voice And since I’m writing over the years I’ve really enjoyed LARadiocom which my dad from whom I must have received a radio-listener gene will still bring up pretty regularly when I speak with my folks of the phone Growing up we almost always had the radio on — Bob Crane Arthur Godfrey Denny Bracken etc – on KNX when I was a young boy I got my first radio around the 3rd grade first listening to KFI I think KNX was all-News by then I switched to KMPC not long after Lohman and Barkley came about — hey I was 9! — so I came of age with Dick Whittinghill Geoff Edwards Gary Owens Roger Carroll the news and sports crew and the Angels Yet as I said above I turn the dial a lot even as a 3-year-old quietly taking my ‘nap’ after watching Sheriff John in the den — it was really mom’s nap time — I would turn that dial to catch KFWB Channel 98 or the Spanish announcers and music on KWKW putting it back to KNX when nap time was over And I always read the radio columns in the papers Citizen-News Herald-Examiner the Times Calendar section So many of those names especially from the morning shift before school or work or the weekends of the non-commercial FM stations of various formats from the ‘60s 70s and ‘80s both AM and FM are part of my radio memories of the first half of my life living in LA So I thank you for sharing your labor of love with all of us” – Ad astra Reverend Steven P Tibbetts born in Hollywood playing in Peoria Lunch with Johnny Hayes “In-N-Out Burgers sponsored the Johnny Hayes Count Down on KRLA from the very start I can’t remember the number of years it lasted He did an outstanding job ad-libbing all the commercials never once off a prepared script Before the program went on the air we met with then In-N-Out president Rich Snyder later killed in a plane crash at John Wayne Airport who gave us a tour of the entire company followed by lunch in the back of one of the restaurants only drive thrus in those days You could listen to the show while you waited for your order in the car” – Tom Bernstein Memories of Art Bell “Art Bell and I were friends for almost 50 years and I am more than saddened by his death When we met I was stationed at Vandenberg AFB and Art recently out of the Air Force was a jock at KSEE in Santa Maria The first time we talked was of course over ham radio The last time we spoke at his house in Pahrump was predictably also a lot about ham radio Besides working together for a time at KDON in Salinas Art and I didn’t actually spend a lot of time together over those 50 years but we always kept in touch over the phone email or ham radio My wife Sheryl and I had made plans to stay with Art and his wife during our trip to Southeast Asia a few years ago when he was living in the Philippines but the timing didn’t work out as they were moving back to Pahrump about that time Art was not only a one-of-a-kind broadcaster but also a one-of-a-kind human being The person you heard on the air was not who Art was His show was just that Space ships ghosts and the paranormal were not part of his normal conversations That was reserved for his on-air persona You had to know him to see the silly compassionate overly-bright and animated person he was Art my friend I’m sure going to miss you” – Jerry Lewine The Art of 91X “George Junak a former co-worker of mine from my days at 91X in San Diego says Art Bell did a weekend show on 91X in 1979 using the air name Art Trey That’s something I have never heard before or seen in print anywhere According to George Junak Art Bell asked then consultant Frank Felix if he could use the name Trey Bell on the all-Music format but Felix told him no They settled instead for Art Trey Junak says he even has an old air check of Art’s show on 91X from 10/27/79 I didn’t join the 91X/Mighty 690 family for mornings and programming until January of 1980 So apparently we just missed each other I don’t recall ever hearing that Art Bell was a music host before his start in talk radio So this all seems rather mysterious” – Ted Ziegenbusch KOST 1035 Memories of Art Bell “Back in the late 80s I had a friend who lived in Las Vegas and he would tell me about this late-night radio personality Art Bell He told me he was on KDWN a 50000 watt clear channel station so I could probably hear it in Los Angeles I think this was the pre-syndication days as the show was more political in nature had a hometown feel but still touched upon the UFO stuff from time to time If the weather was clear I could pick the station up just fine and would listen to various guests telling their tales of alien abduction throughout the wee hours of the morning At that time Art was playing some interesting bumper music and a few tunes came to mind that I thought he would like I put them on a cassette on my next visit to see my friend we wandered up to the Union Plaza Hotel which was the home of KDWN and made our way up the stairs to the studio We were told Art hadn’t arrived yet which surprised us because it was pretty close to airtime but the receptionists said she would give him the cassette so we headed out the door On our way back downstairs we passed Art rushing up to the studio He was real We saw him! Back at my friend’s house we were drinking beer and listening to the radio Unbeknownst to me he dialed the station in hopes of talking to Art After a while he had to relieve himself so he tossed me the phone and said ‘hang on to this for a second’ Before heading to the john he cranked up the volume as far as it would go I sat there holding the receiver to my ear and with the radio blasting I think I barely hear someone say ‘you’re on the air’ I said ‘I’m sorry what’ and then Art went ballistic shouting ‘HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE TO TURN DOWN YOUR RADIOS!!’ Then I heard the phone go CLICK and he hung up Seven seconds later my friend exists the bathroom to hear Art shouting at me over the air and he yells at me ‘I was on hold for 45 minutes and the second I go to the bathroom he takes my call’ Several years later I was listening in LA and heard my friend on the air with Art so at least he finally got through Oh and about those songs I dropped off for bumper-music one was by violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and the other by a group named Shadowfax Art used them for years on the air” – Gary Gibson Montrose Is KLOS Sound “I note that even with EMF removing 1003 as a competitor KLOS’ ratings are flat In my not-so-humble opinion this should be sending a message to Cumulus that they aren’t doing Classic Rock properly for the market Their ‘brand’ of the format apparently appeals to zero percent of The Sound’s former audience I bet they’re all listening to Sky Daniels’ well-executed AAA format on KCSN” – KM Richards Radio Ink Article Praising KABC PD “Good job Drew Hayes! While KFI saw a ratings bump in March to 42 you have been successful in keeping KABC on a steady course in 37th place with 05 It must not be easy maintaining that coveted 37th place spot but somehow you have managed to do it Could it be the ‘compelling’ programming such as evening reruns of morning shows during the week Or is it the weekends packed with infomercials while KFI has actual weekend hosts that do real radio shows like Bill Handel The Fork Report Leo Laporte Mo Kelly Bryan Suits Dr Wendy Walshand the list goes on But don’t let KFI’s success distract you from your focus on remaining 37 It’s good to be goal oriented like that I have been so stupid and I apologize Now I realize why you run so many retirement seminar commercials It’s symbolic for the number of listeners that have chosen to ‘retire’ from listening to KABC By the way I don’t know if you ever listen to your own station but Dr Drew and Lauren Sivan have ZERO on-air chemistry and Ms Sivan seems disengaged from the show a good portion of the time I’m sure she’s a very nice very intelligent person but she certainly doesn’t pair well with Dr Drew And I’m sure I’m not the first person you’ve heard that from Don’t forget to have some promotional T-Shirts produced that say ‘We’re Number 37!’ Say it loud — say it proud!” – Peter Thomas Paraquat Kelley Sets Up GoFundMe Account for His Wife April 20 2018 Carl Swanson checked in from Washington DC where he is an engineer for the Voice of America Carl used to work at WW1 KFI KMPC and KCRW “This may be more appropriate for Email Saturday but have you heard anything new from Pat Paraquat Kelley and his wife” asked Carl “I saw and contributed to his notcrippledinside campaign and saw a few posts but now he’s gone quiet The announcement you published about his total disability and the back link to his initial diagnosis 12 years prior shared the sh!t out of me because I was given the same diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis 14 months ago after a series of 6 seizures in 4 months one of which landed me in the hospital for more than a week and off work for almost a year “It’s frightening to think I’m probably riding the same train he is but I am really wanting to know if he’s still fighting the good fight” emailed Carl “Thanks to a good federal employee health plan I have drugs that hopefully slow progression and I don’t need to pay 89000/year for it” In reaching out to Paraquat he responded immediately and the timing could not have been better because a GoFundMe account has just been established “Carl’s lucky he has relapsing remitting MS I have progressive MS the worst and rarest form It’s a drag for sure but I have Melody to help me through The GoFundMe account is to help her so that when I’m gone she’ll have something to help her” Carl passed on a message to Paraquat: “Tell him there’s one brother in the struggle pulling for him” Hear Ache April 19 2018 Former KNX/KFWBer Bob McCormick was visiting his parents in Detroit this week Take a look at the snow on the patio of his parents’ home Bob is reading Charlie Seraphin’s ex-general manager at KNXfm/KODJ book One Stupid Mistake “Short and full of great stories of how one false move or word and your goose could be hooked” said Bob … Congratulations to former KTWV personality Sandy Kelley as she celebrates 19 years of marriage … Forbes magazine has a story on how to turn iHeartMedia around with sage advice to the new owners The first piece of advice is to bring in real radio people to run the company It needs smart experienced radio people at the controls Get rid of the financial whizz-bangers who leveraged the company up to its eyeballs in debt and brought about its collapse Lesson learned Another suggestion: Do radio just radio and do it right Done right radio alone can be very profitable Sell off the other businesses that don’t directly support radio such as Clear Channel Outdoor Those businesses were acquired and at huge cost with the idea of creating cross-media synergies Bad idea bad execution loads of problems best forgotten Program for listeners only listeners Early radio had the right idea Entertain your listeners … Nicole Sandler saw her oncologist and got the good news that her scans are clean “Cancer free” are nice words to hear … NBC’s The Voice was No 1 for Monday night besting ABC’s American Idol by 31 in 18-49 Jim Ladd Returns on Monday April 18 2018 “The Jim Ladd Show returns from High in the Hollywood Hills” was how Jim announced on Facebook his Monday return to SiriusXM Deep Tracks Channel 27 He had been absent from the satellite service for a number of weeks “Let’s Get Loud!

original host of “Coast to Coast AM” heard locally on KFI had died on Friday the 13th He was 72 No matter what you might have thought about what Art talked about – and that included the paranormal abstract conspiracies and the world of UFOs – Art was a radio original Broadcasting from a double-wide trailer in the Nevada desert for more than two decades Art talked to his listeners in the middle of the night about their stories of alien abductions crop circles anthrax scares and as he put it all things “seen at the edge of vision” While serving in the US Air Force in the Vietnam War Art indulged his childhood passion for radio by operating a pirate station that played anti-war music otherwise unavailable on official channels broadcast to American servicemen Following his time in the service Art’s love of radio led him to working as a disc jockey for an English-language station in Japan Over there he set a Guinness World Record for broadcasting some 116 hours straight to raise funds to rescue over 100 Vietnamese orphans left stranded by the conflict in their home country Back in the states Art started his radio journey doing overnights on KDWN in Las Vegas Syndicated nationally in 1993 Coast to Coast AM became a phenomenon He frequently would end up on the yearly list of Best LARP Art drew an audience of about 10 million listeners a week when his show was syndicated on as many as 500 stations He believed in possibilities and he loved the idea that his openness to paranormal events had helped build the nation’s appetite for Twin Peaks The X-Files and other expressions of the edges of reality Born June 17 1945 in Jacksonville NC Art grew up with a seven-transistor AM radio tucked under his pillow at night When he was supposed to be sleeping Art listened instead to the pioneers of talk radio as they batted around alternative ideas about who really killed John F Kennedy or how the CIA controlled people’s minds His nightly “Coast to Coast” show ran from 1989 to 2003 then he continued broadcasting on weekends until 2007 Art briefly returned with a satellite radio show in 2013 and an online program in 2015 That show ended after a few months because Mr Bell said someone had taken to firing a weapon at his Nevada property Art was married four times At the time of his death he was married to Airyn Ruiz whom he met when she befriended him online after the death of his previous wife Ruiz was then 22 and living in the Philippines Bell was inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 2006 and the National Radio Hall

| Credible nuclear deterrence of invasions and conventional wars reduce the risk of large conventional and nuclear wars occurring through escalation of invasions such as the invasion of Belgium in 1914 and the invasion of Poland in 1939 of surprise attacks like those against France in 1940 and of Russia and Pearl Harbor in 1941 Afghanistan in 1979 Kuwait in 1990 or Crimea in 2014 Contrary to irrational pseudo-scientific propaganda the number of nuclear weapons is smaller than the millions of conventional weapons used in large wars and the correct scaling shows that the overall effects are similar not massively different as often claimed for political propaganda by enemies of peace Furthermore the greater time delay of effects from nuclear weapons over the damaged area increases the efficiency of cheap civil defence countermeasures as compared to conventional weapons We need credible effects of nuclear weapons for real world peace: peace through tested proved and practical declassified deterrence and countermeasures against collateral damage Credible deterrence through simple effective protection against concentrated and dispersed invasions and aerial attacks Discussions of the facts as opposed to inaccurate misleading lies of the disarm or be annihilated political dogma variety Hiroshima and Nagasaki anti-nuclear propaganda debunked by the hard facts Walls not wars Walls bring people together by stopping divisive terrorists In conclusion credible nuclear deterrence of conventional war offers a beautiful opportunity to create a peaceful world free from fear peddling ranting dictators The only oppositions you will meet will come from authoritarian obsessed fear peddling myth makers If they can’t tell the truth and face the facts why listen to them Please see our post on the need to deter not only direct threats from nuclear attacks but also conventional wars and invasions that can escalate into nuclear wars as proved by the use of nuclear weapons in WWII for example after they were developed during the war itself and did not trigger or provoke the war linked here here here and here here here and the true scaling law equivalence between a few thousand nuclear weapons and the several million tons of small conventional weapons in a non-nuclear world war as proved by our post summarising key points in Herman Kahn’s much-abused call for credible deterrence On Thermonuclear War linked here Peace comes through tested proved and practical declassified countermeasures against the effects of nuclear weapons chemical weapons and conventional weapons Credible deterrence to end invasions and wars comes through simple effective protection against invasions like low yield tactical weapons and walls and civil defence against collateral damage Peace comes through discussions of the facts as opposed to inaccurate misleading lies of the disarm or be annihilated political dogma variety which are designed to exploit fear to close down criticisms of errors in mainstream orthodoxy In particular please see the post linked here on EMP results from an actual Russian 300 kt test at 290 km altitude over unwarned civilian infrastructure in Kazakhstan on 22 October 1962 which caused no injuries or deaths whatsoever contrary to all of Jeremy Corbyn and CND style lying propaganda that any use of nuclear weapons on civilians would automatically kill millions but shut down the communications and power supply lines! This is not secret but does not make newspaper headlines to debunk CND style dogmas on the alleged incredibility of nuclear deterrence Hiroshima’s air raid shelters were unoccupied because Japanese Army officers were having breakfast when B29s were detected far away says Yoshie Oka the operator of the Hiroshima air raid sirens on 6 August 1945 In a sample of 1881 burns cases in Hiroshima only 17 or 09 percent were due to ignited clothing and 15 or 07 were due to the firestorm flames Dr Harold L Brode’s new book Nuclear Weapons in 800 war migrants drowned on 22 April by EU policy: Photographed fireball shielding by cloud cover in Nuclear weapons effects firestorm and nuclear w Proved 975 survival in completely demolished houses How to achieve peace through tested proved and practical declassified countermeasures against the effects of nuclear weapons chemical weapons and conventional weapons Credible deterrence through simple effective protection against invasions and collateral damage Discussions of the facts as opposed to inaccurate misleading lies of the disarm or be annihilated political dogma variety Hiroshima and Nagasaki anti-nuclear propaganda debunked by the hard facts Walls not wars Walls bring people together by stopping attacks by divide and rule style divisive terrorists contrary to simplistic Vatican propaganda There has never been a war yet which if the facts had been put calmly before the ordinary folk could not have been prevented – British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin House of Commons Debate on Foreign Affairs Hansard 23 November 1945 column 786 unfortunately secret Cabinet committees called democracy for propaganda purposes have not been quite so successful in preventing war Protection is needed against collateral civilian damage and contamination in conventional chemical and nuclear attack with credible low yield clean nuclear deterrence against conventional warfare which in reality not science fiction costs far more lives Anti scientific media who promulgate and exploit terrorism for profit censor 1 vital effective civil defense knowledge and 2 effective safe low yield air burst clean weapons like the Mk54 and W79 which deter conventional warfare and escalation allowing arms negotiations from a position of strength This helped end the Cold War in the 1980s Opposing civil defense and nuclear weapons that really deter conventional war is complacent and dangerousWar and coercion dangers have not stemmed from those who openly attack mainstream mistakes but from those who camouflage themselves as freedom fighters to ban such free criticism itself by making the key facts seem taboo without even a proper debate let alone financing research into unfashionable alternatives Research and education in non-mainstream alternatives is needed before an unprejudiced debate to establish all the basic facts for a real debate “Wisdom itself cannot flourish nor even truth be determined without the give and take of debate and criticism” – Robert Oppenheimer quotation from the H-bomb TV debate hosted by Eleanor Roosevelt 12 February 1950“Apologies for freedom I can’t handle this! Deal from strength or get crushed every time Freedom demands liberty everywhere I’m thinking you see it’s not so easy But we have to stand up tall and answer freedom’s call!” – Freedom Kids CONVENTIONAL WARS HAVE KILLED TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE NUCLEAR WEAPONS CAN RAPIDLY DETER THIS REAL THREAT TO PEACE WITH MINIMAL CASUALTIES ‘During the critical period 8-15 February 1968 the US command realized that conventional bombing was not sufficiently effective The air campaign dropped over 110000 tons of bombs and napalm on the area around Khe Sanh during the 77-day siege the most heavily bombed target in the history of conventional warfare’ – W C Yengst S J Lukasik and M A Jensen Nuclear Weapons that went to War SAID report DSWA-TR-97-25 September 1998 quoted in the 2015 book by the secret Capabilities of Nuclear Weapons editor Dr Harold L Brode Nuclear Weapons in the Cold War page 287 British Nuclear Test Civil Defence ResearchRichard P Feynman ‘This Unscientific Age’ in The Meaning of It All Penguin Books London 1998 pages 106-9: ‘Now I say if a man is absolutely honest and wants to protect the populace from the effects of radioactivity which is what our scientific friends often say they are trying to do then he should work on the biggest number not on the smallest number and he should try to point out that the natural cosmic radioactivity which is absorbed by living in the city of Denver is so much more serious than the smaller doses from nuclear explosions that all the people of Denver ought to move to lower altitudes’“If a man reads or hears a criticism of anything in which he has an interest watch if he shows concern with any question except ‘is it true’ he thereby reveals that his own attitude is unscientific Likewise if he judges an idea not on its merits but with reference to the author of it if he criticizes it as ‘heresy’ if he argues that authority must be right because it is authority The path of truth is paved with critical doubt and lighted by the spirit of objective enquiry the majority of people have resented what seems in retrospect to have been purely matter of fact nothing has aided the persistence of falsehood and the evils resulting from it more than the unwillingness of good people to admit the truth the tendency continues to be shocked by natural comment and to hold certain things too ‘sacred’ to think about How rarely does one meet anyone whose first reaction to anything is to ask: ‘is it true’ Yet unless that is a man’s natural reaction it shows that truth is not uppermost in his mind and unless it is true progress is unlikely” – Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart Why Don’t We Learn from History PEN Books 1944 revised edition Allen and Unwin 1972 Civil defense countermeasures to be taken seriously by the population require the publication of solid facts with the scientific evidence to support those facts against political propaganda to the contrary Secrecy over the effects of nuclear weapons tests does not hinder plutonium and missile production by rogue states but it does hinder civil defense countermeasures by permitting lying political propaganda to go unopposed see linked post here Terrorists successfully prey on the vulnerable The political spreading of lies concerning threats and the alleged ‘impossibility’ of all countermeasures terrorizing the population in order to ‘justify’ supposedly pro-peace disarmament policies in the 1920s-1930s resulted in the secret rearmament of fascist states which were terrorizing the Jews and others eventually leading to World War II Political exaggerations about nuclear weapons effects today: 1 encourage terrorist states and other groups to secretly invest in such weapons to use either for political intimidation or for future use against countries which have no countermeasures and 2 falsely dismiss in the eyes of the media and the public cheap relatively effective countermeasures like civil defense and ABM Therefore doom-mongering media lies make us vulnerable to the proliferation threat today in two ways just as they led to both world wars: 1 Exaggerations of offensive technology and a down-playing of simple countermeasures such as trenches encouraged belligerent states to start World War I in the false belief that modern technology implied overwhelming firepower which would terminate the war quickly on the basis of offensive preparedness: if the facts about simple trench countermeasures against shelling and machine guns during the American Civil War had been properly understood it would have been recognised by Germany that a long war based on munitions production and logistics would be necessary and war would have been seen to be likely to lead to German defeat against countries with larger overseas allies and colonies that could supply munitions and the other resources required to win a long war 2 Exaggerations of aerial bombardment technology after World War I led to disarmament ‘supported by’ false claims that it was impossible to have any defense against a perceived threat of instant annihilation from thousands of aircraft carrying gas and incendiary bombs encouraging fascists to secretly rearm in order to successfully take advantage of the fear and vulnerability caused by this lying political disarmament propaganda Contrived dismissal of civil defense by Marxist “Cambridge Scientists Anti-War Group” bigots: a appeased war-mongering enemies and b maximised war mortality rates Idealism kills Super effective fully proof-tested cheap civil defense makes nuclear deterrence credible to stop conventional war devastation by avoiding collateral damage tit-for-tat retaliation and escalation Historically it has been proved that having weapons is not enough to guarantee a reasonable measure of safety from terrorism and rogue states countermeasures are also needed both to make any deterrent credible and to negate or at least mitigate the effects of a terrorist attack Some people who wear seatbelts die in car crashes some people who are taken to hospital in ambulances even in peace-time die Sometimes lifebelts and lifeboats cannot save lives at sea This lack of a 100 success rate in saving lives doesn’t disprove the value of everyday precautions or of hospitals and medicine Hospitals don’t lull motorists into a false sense of security causing them to drive faster and cause more accidents Like-minded ‘arguments’ against ABM and civil defense are similarly vacuous ‘As long as the threat from Iran persists we will go forward with a missile system that is cost-effective and proven If the Iranian threat is eliminated we will have a stronger basis for security and the driving force for missile-defense construction in Europe will be removed’ – President Obama Prague Castle Czech Republic 4 April 2009 Before 9/11 Caspar Weinberger was quizzed by skeptical critics on the BBC News program Talking Point Friday May 4 2001: Caspar Weinberger quizzed on new US Star Wars ABM plans: ‘The ABM treaty was in 1972 The theory supporting the ABM treaty which prohibits ABM thus making nations vulnerable to terrorism that it will prevent an arms race is perfect nonsense because we have had an arms race all the time we have had the ABM treaty and we have seen the greatest increase in proliferation of nuclear weapons that we have ever had So the ABM treaty preventing an arms race is total nonsense ‘You have to understand that without any defences whatever you are very vulnerable It is like saying we don’t like chemical warfare – we don’t like gas attacks – so we are going to give up and promise not to have any defences ever against them and that of course would mean then we are perfectly safe ‘The Patriot was not a failure in the Gulf War – the Patriot was one of the things which defeated the Scud and in effect helped us win the Gulf War One or two of the shots went astray but that is true of every weapon system that has ever been invented ‘The fact that a missile defence system wouldn’t necessarily block a suitcase bomb is certainly not an argument for not proceeding with a missile defence when a missile that hits can wipe out hundreds of thousands of lives in a second ‘The curious thing about it is that missile defence is not an offensive weapon system – missile defence cannot kill anybody Missile defence can help preserve and protect your people and our allies and the idea that you are somehow endangering people by having a defence strikes me almost as absurd as saying you endanger people by having a gas mask in a gas attack ‘President Bush said that we were going ahead with the defensive system but we would make sure that nobody felt we had offensive intentions because we would accompany it by a unilateral reduction of our nuclear arsenal It seems to me to be a rather clear statement that proceeding with the missile defence system would mean fewer arms of this kind ‘You have had your arms race all the time that the ABM treaty was in effect and now you have an enormous accumulation and increase of nuclear weapons and that was your arms race promoted by the ABM treaty Now if you abolish the ABM treaty you are not going to get another arms race – you have got the arms already there – and if you accompany the missile defence construction with the unilateral reduction of our own nuclear arsenal then it seems to me you are finally getting some kind of inducement to reduce these weapons’ Before the ABM system is in place and afterwards if ABM fails to be 100 effective in an attack or is bypassed by terrorists using a bomb in a suitcase or in a ship civil defense is required and can be effective at saving lives: ‘Paradoxically the more damaging the effect that is the farther out its lethality stretches the more can be done about it because in the last fall of its power it covers vast areas where small mitigations will save very large numbers of people’ – Peter Laurie Beneath the City Streets: A Private Inquiry into the Nuclear Preoccupations of Government Penguin 1974 ‘The purpose of a book is to save people the time and effort of digging things out for themselves we have tried to leave the reader with something tangible – what a certain number of calories roentgens etc means in terms of an effect on the human being we must think of the people we are writing for’ – Dr Samuel Glasstone DSc letter dated 1 February 1957 to Colonel Dent L Lay Chief Weapons Effects Division US Armed Forces Special Weapons Project Washington DC pages 2 and 4 concerning the preparation of The Effects of Nuclear Weapons Glasstone and Dolan stated in The Effects of Nuclear Weapons 1977 Table 1217 on page 546 that the median distance in Hiroshima for survival after 20 days was 012 miles for people in concrete buildings and 13 miles for people standing outdoors Therefore the median distances for survival in modern city buildings and in the open differed by a factor of 11 for Hiroshima the difference in areas was thus a factor of 112 or about 120 Hence taking cover in modern city buildings reduces the casualty rates and the risks of being killed by a factor of 120 for Hiroshima conditions contrary to popular media presented political propaganda that civil defence is hopeless This would reduce 120000 casualties to 1000 casualties From Dr Glasstone’s Effects of Nuclear Weapons 1962/64 ed page 631: ‘At distances between 03 and 04 mile from ground zero in Hiroshima the average survival rate for at least 20 days after the nuclear explosion was less than 20 percent Yet in two reinforced concrete office buildings at these distances almost 90 percent of the nearly 800 occupants survived more than 20 days although some died later of radiation injury Furthermore of approximately 3000 school students who were in the open and unshielded within a mile of ground zero at Hiroshima about 90 percent were dead or missing after the explosion But of nearly 5000 students in the same zone who were shielded in one way or another only 26 percent were fatalities survival in Hiroshima was possible in buildings at such distances that the overpressure in the open was 15 to 20 pounds per square inch it is evident that the area over which protection could be effective in saving lives is roughly eight to ten times as great as that in which the chances of survival are small’ Lord Mayhew House of Lords debate on Civil Defence General Local Authority Functions Regulations Hansard vol 444 cc 523-49 1 November 1983: ‘ if there had been effective civil defence at Hiroshima probably thousands of lives would have been saved and much human suffering would have been avoided There is no question about it ’ Since the 1977 update by Glasstone and Dolan extensive new updates to EM-1 for a further revised edition of The Effects of Nuclear Weapons have not actually been published with unlimited public distribution due to President Carter’s 1979 executive order which transferred responsibility for civil defense from the jurisdiction of the US Department of Defense’s Defense Civil Preparedness Agency to the new agency which is not an Agency of the US Department of Defense and is not concerned with the analysis of nuclear weapons test effects data the Federal Emergency Management Agency However the February 1997 US Department of Defense’s Defense Special Weapons Agency 0602715H RDTampE Budget Item Justification Sheet R-2 Exhibit states that a revision of Glasstone and Dolan’s unclassified Effects of Nuclear Weapons was budgeted for 1997-9: “FY 1997 Plans: Provide text to update Glasstone’s book The Effects of Nuclear Weapons the standard reference for nuclear weapons effects Update the unclassified textbook entitled The Effects of Nuclear Weapons Continue revision of Glasstone’s book The Effects of Nuclear Weapons the standard reference for nuclear weapons effects FY1999 Plans Disseminate updated The Effects of Nuclear Weapons” The new publications are either classified or unclassified with limited distribution restrictions eg Bridgman’s Introduction to the Physics of Nuclear Weapons Effects which includes several chapters on nuclear weapons design to enable initial radiation outputs to be calculated precisely which prevents up-to-date basic nuclear effects information to justify civil defense against the latest nuclear threats from being widely disseminated the books are printed for use only by government agencies The problem with this approach is that widespread public understanding of the best information for civil defense countermeasures is prevented ‘The evidence from Hiroshima indicates that blast survivors both injured and uninjured in buildings later consumed by fire caused by the blast overturning charcoal braziers used for breakfast in inflammable wooden houses filled with easily ignitable bamboo furnishings and paper screens were generally able to move to safe areas following the explosion Of 130 major buildings studied by the US Strategic Bombing Survey 107 were ultimately burned out Of those suffering fire about 20 percent were burning after the first half hour The remainder were consumed by fire spread some as late as 15 hours after the blast This situation is not unlike the one our computer-based fire spread model described for Detroit’ – Defense Civil Preparedness Agency US

Hiroshima Japan US Strategic Bombing Survey Pacific Theatre report 92 volume 2 May 1947 secret: Volume one page 14: “ the city lacked buildings with fire-protective features such as automatic fire doors and automatic sprinkler systems” and pages 26-28 state the heat flash in Hiroshima was only: “ capable of starting primary fires in exposed easily combustible materials such as dark cloth thin paper or dry rotted wood exposed to direct radiation at distances usually within 4000 feet of the point of detonation AZ” Volume two examines the firestorm and the ignition of clothing by the thermal radiation flash in Hiroshima: Page 24: “Scores of persons throughout all sections of the city were questioned concerning the ignition of clothing by the flash from the bomb Ten school boys were located during the study who had been in school yards about 6200 feet east and 7000 feet west respectively from AZ air zero These boys had flash burns on the portions of their faces which had been directly exposed to rays of the bomb The boys’ stories were consistent to the effect that their clothing apparently of cotton materials ‘smoked’ but did not burst into flame a boy’s coat started to smoulder from heat rays at 3800 feet from AZ” Contrast this to the obfuscation and vagueness in Glasstone The Effects of Nuclear Weapons! Page 88: “Ignition of the City Only directly exposed surfaces were flash burned Measured from GZ flash burns on wood poles were observed at 13000 feet granite was roughened or spalled by heat at 1300 feet and vitreous tiles on roofs were blistered at 4000 feet six persons who had been in reinforced-concrete buildings within 3200 feet of air zero stated that black cotton blackout curtains were ignited by radiant heat dark clothing was scorched and in some cases reported to have burst into flame from flash heat although as the 1946 unclassified USSBS report admits most immediately beat the flames out with their hands without sustaining injury because the clothing was not drenched in gasoline unlike peacetime gasoline tanker road accident victims “ but a large proportion of over 1000 persons questioned was in agreement that a great majority of the original fires was started by debris falling on kitchen charcoal fires by industrial process fires or by electric short circuits Hundreds of fires were reported to have started in the centre of the city within 10 minutes after the explosion Of the total number of buildings investigated 135 buildings are listed 107 caught fire and in 69 instances the probable cause of initial ignition of the buildings or their contents was as follows: 1 8 by direct radiated heat from the bomb primary fire 2 8 by secondary sources and 3 53 by fire spread from exposed wooden buildings” ‘It is true that the Soviets have tested nuclear weapons of a yield higher than that which we thought necessary but the 100-megaton bomb of which they spoke two years ago does not and will not change the balance of strategic power The United States has chosen deliberately to concentrate on more mobile and more efficient weapons with lower but entirely sufficient yield ’ – President John F Kennedy in his television broadcast to the American public 26 July 1963 ‘During World War II many large cities in England Germany and Japan were subjected to terrific attacks by high-explosive and incendiary bombs Yet when proper steps had been taken for the protection of the civilian population and for the restoration of services after the bombing there was little if any evidence of panic It is the purpose of this book to state the facts concerning the atomic bomb and to make an objective scientific analysis of these facts It is hoped that as a result although it may not be feasible completely to allay fear it will at least be possible to avoid panic’ – Dr George Gamow the big bang cosmologist Dr Samuel Glasstone DSc Executive Editor of the book and Professor Joseph O Hirschfelder The Effects of Atomic Weapons Chapter 1 p 1 Paragraph 13 US Department of Defense September 1950 ‘The consequences of a multiweapon nuclear

doses in children 177 mGy were accumulated in the Gomel region of Belarus The highest incidence of thyroid cancer 179 cases per 100000 children occurred there in 1995 which means that the rate had increased by a factor of about 25 since 1987 ‘This rate increase was probably a result of improved screening not radiation! Even then the incidence rate for occult thyroid cancers was still a thousand times lower than it was for occult thyroid cancers in nonexposed populations in the US for example the rate is 13000 per 100000 persons and in Finland it is 35600 per 100000 persons Thus given the prospect of improved diagnostics there is an enormous potential for detecting yet more fictitious excess thyroid cancers In a study in the US that was performed during the period of active screening in 1974-79 it was determined that the incidence rate of malignant and other thyroid nodules was greater by 21-fold than it

radiation to demonstrate that the incidence of leukemia was linearly related to the accumulated dose of radiation Outspoken scientists including Linus Pauling used Lewis’s risk estimate to inform the public about the danger of nuclear fallout by estimating the number of leukemia deaths that would be caused by the test detonations In May of 1957 Lewis’s analysis of the radiation-induced human leukemia data was published as a lead article in Science magazine In June he presented it before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy of the US Congress’ – Abstract of thesis by Jennifer Caron Edward Lewis and Radioactive Fallout: the Impact of Caltech Biologists Over Nuclear Weapons Testing in the 1950s and 60s Caltech January 2003 Dr John F Loutit of the Medical Research Council Harwell England in 1962 wrote a book called Irradiation of Mice and Men University of Chicago Press Chicago and London discrediting the pseudo-science from geneticist Edward Lewis on pages 61 and 78-79: ‘ Mole R H Mole Brit J Radiol v32 p497 1959 gave different groups of mice an integrated total of 1000 r of X-rays over a period of 4 weeks But the dose-rate – and therefore the radiation-free time between fractions – was varied from 81 r/hour intermittently to 13 r/hour continuously The incidence of leukemia varied from 40 per cent within 15 months of the start of irradiation in the first group to 5 per cent in the last compared with 2 per cent incidence in irradiated controls … ‘What Lewis did and which I have not copied was to include in his table another group – spontaneous incidence of leukemia Brooklyn NY – who are taken to have received only natural background radiation throughout life at the very low dose-rate of 01-02 rad per year: the best estimate is listed as 2 x 10-6 like the others in the table But the value of 2 x 10-6 was not calculated from the data as for the other groups it was merely adopted By its adoption and multiplication with the average age in years of Brooklyners – 337 years and radiation dose per year of 01-02 rad – a mortality rate of 7 to 13 cases per million per year due to background radiation was deduced or some 10-20 per cent of the observed rate of 65 cases per million per year ‘All these points are very much against the basic hypothesis of Lewis of a linear relation of dose to leukemic effect irrespective of time Unhappily it is not possible to claim for Lewis’s work as others have done “It is now possible to calculate – within narrow limits – how many deaths from leukemia will result in any population from an increase in fall-out or other source of radiation” Leading article in Science vol 125 p 963 1957 This is just wishful journalese ‘The burning questions to me are not what are the numbers of leukemia to be expected from atom bombs or radiotherapy but what is to be expected from natural background Furthermore to obtain estimates of these I believe it is wrong to go to 1950s inaccurate dose rate effect ignoring data from atom bombs where the radiations are qualitatively different ie including effects from neutrons and more important the dose-rate outstandingly different’ Samuel Glasstone and Philip J Dolan The Effects of Nuclear Weapons 3rd ed 1977 pp 611-3: ‘From the earlier studies of radiation-induced mutations made with fruitflies by Nobel Laureate Hermann J Muller and other geneticists who worked on plants who falsely hyped their insect and plant data as valid for mammals like humans during the June 1957 US Congressional Hearings on fallout effects it appeared that the number or frequency of mutations in a given population is proportional to the total dose More recent experiments with mice however have shown that these conclusions need to be revised at least for mammals Mammals are biologically closer to humans in respect to DNA repair mechanisms than short-lived insects whose life cycles are too small to have forced the evolutionary development of advanced DNA repair mechanisms unlike mammals that need to survive for decades before reproducing When exposed to X-rays or gamma rays the mutation frequency in these animals has been found to be dependent on the exposure or dose rate ‘At an exposure rate of 0009 roentgen per minute 054 R/hour the total mutation frequency in female mice is indistinguishable from the spontaneous frequency Emphasis added There thus seems to be an exposure-rate threshold below which radiation-induced mutations are absent with adult female mice a delay of at least seven weeks between exposure to a substantial dose of radiation either neutrons or gamma rays and conception causes the mutation frequency in the offspring to drop almost to zero recovery in the female members of the population would bring about a substantial reduction in the ‘load’ of mutations in subsequent generations’ George Bernard Shaw cynically explains groupthink brainwashing bias: ‘We cannot help it because we are so constituted that we always believe finally what we wish to believe The moment we want to believe something we suddenly see all the arguments for it and become blind to the arguments against it The moment we want to disbelieve anything we have previously believed we suddenly discover not only that there is a mass of evidence against but that this evidence was staring us in the face all the time’ From the essay titled ‘What is Science’ by Professor Richard P Feynman presented at the fifteenth annual meeting of the National Science Teachers Association 1966 in New York City and published in The Physics Teacher vol 7 issue 6 1968 pp 313-20: ‘ great religions are dissipated by following form without remembering the direct content of the teaching of the great leaders In the same way it is possible to follow form and call it science but that is pseudo-science In this way we all suffer from the kind of tyranny we have today in the many institutions that have come under the influence of pseudoscientific advisers ‘We have many studies in teaching for example in which people make observations make lists do statistics and so on but these do not thereby become established science established knowledge They are merely an imitative form of science analogous to the South Sea Islanders’ airfields – radio towers etc made out of wood The islanders expect a great airplane to arrive They even build wooden airplanes of the same shape as they see in the foreigners’ airfields around them but strangely enough their wood planes do not fly The result of this pseudoscientific imitation is to produce experts which many of you are you teachers who are really teaching children at the bottom of the heap can maybe doubt the experts As a matter of fact I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts’ Richard P Feynman ‘This Unscientific Age’ in The Meaning of It All Penguin Books London 1998 pages 106-9: ‘Now I say if a man is absolutely honest and wants to protect the populace from the effects of radioactivity which is what our scientific friends often say they are trying to do then he should work on the biggest number not on the smallest number and he should try to point out that the natural cosmic radioactivity which is absorbed by living in the city of Denver is so much more serious than the smaller doses from nuclear explosions that all the people of Denver ought to move to lower altitudes’ Feynman is not making a point about low level radiation effects but about the politics of ignoring the massive natural background radiation dose while provoking hysteria over much smaller measured fallout pollution radiation doses Why is the anti-nuclear lobby so concerned about banning nuclear energy – which is not possible even in principle since most of our nuclear radiation is from the sun and from supernova debris contaminating the Earth from the explosion that created the solar system circa 4540 million years ago – when they could cause much bigger radiation dose reductions to the population by concentrating on the bigger radiation source natural background radiation It is possible to shield natural background radiation by the air eg by moving the population of high altitude cities to lower altitudes where there is more air between the people and outer space or banning the use of high-altitude jet aircraft The anti-nuclear lobby as Feynman stated back in the 1960s didn’t crusade to reduce the bigger dose from background radiation Instead they chose to argue against the much smaller doses from fallout pollution Feynman’s argument is still today falsely interpreted as a political statement when it is actually exposing pseudo-science and countering political propaganda It is still ignored by the media It has been pointed out by Senator Hickenlooper on page 1060 of the May-June 1957 US Congressional Hearings before the Special Subcommittee on Radiation of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy The Nature of Radioactive Fallout and Its Effects on Man: ‘I presume all of us would earnestly hope that we never had to test atomic weapons but by the same token I presume that we want to save thousands of lives in this country every year and we could just abolish the manufacture of road accident causing automobiles ’ Dihydrogen monoxide is a potentially very dangerous chemical containing hydrogen and oxygen which has caused numerous severe burns by scalding and deaths by drowning contributes to the greenhouse effect accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals and contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape: ‘Dihydrogen monoxide DHMO is colorless odorless tasteless and kills uncounted thousands of people every year Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination and possibly a bloated feeling nausea vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance For those who have become dependent DHMO withdrawal means certain death’ From the site for the petition against dihydrogen monoxide: ‘Please sign this petition and help stop This Invisible Killer Get the government to do something now Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions! Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream lake and reservoir in America today But the pollution is global and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the Midwest and recently California’ A recent example of the pseudoscientific radiation ‘education’ masquerading as science that Feynman quoted above objected to in the 1960s was published in 2009 in an article called ‘The proportion of childhood leukaemia incidence in Great Britain that may be caused by natural background ionizing radiation’ in Leukemia vol 23 2009 pp 770–776 which falsely asserts – in contradiction to the evidence that the no-threshold model is contrary to Hiroshima and Nagasaki data: ‘Risk models based primarily on studies of the Japanese atomic bomb survivors imply that low-level exposure to ionizing radiation including ubiquitous natural background radiation also raises the risk of childhood leukaemia Using two sets of recently published leukaemia risk models and estimates of natural background radiation red-bone-marrow doses received by children about 20 of the cases of childhood leukaemia in Great Britain are predicted to be attributable to this source’ The authors of this pseudoscience which is the opposite of the facts are R Wakeford Dalton Nuclear Institute University of Manchester Manchester UK G M Kendall Childhood Cancer Research Group Oxford UK and M P Little Department of Epidemiology and Public Health Imperial College London UK It is disgusting and sinful that the facts about childhood leukemia are being lied on so blatantly for non-scientific purposes and it is to be hoped that these leukemia investigators will either correct their errors or alternatively be banned from using scientific literature to promote false dogma for deception until they mend the error of their ways and repent their sins in this matter Protein P53 discovered only in 1979 is encoded by gene TP53 which occurs on human chromosome 17 P53 also occurs in other mammals including mice rats and dogs P53 is one of the proteins which continually repairs breaks in DNA which easily breaks at body temperature: the DNA in each cell of the human body suffers at least two single strand breaks every second and one double strand ie complete double helix DNA break occurs at least once every 2 hours 5 of radiation-induced DNA breaks are double strand breaks while 0007 of spontaneous DNA breaks at body temperature are double strand breaks! Cancer occurs when several breaks in DNA happen to occur by chance at nearly the same time giving several loose strand ends at once which repair proteins like P53 then repair incorrectly causing a mutation which can be proliferated somatically This cannot occur when only one break occurs because only two loose ends are produced and P53 will reattach them correctly But if low-LET ionising radiation levels are increased to a certain extent causing more single strand breaks P53 works faster and is able deal with faster breaks as they occur so that multiple broken strand ends do not arise This prevents DNA strands being repaired incorrectly and prevents cancer – a result of mutation caused by faults in DNA – from arising Too much radiation of course overloads the P53 repair mechanism and then it cannot repair breaks as they occur so multiple breaks begin to appear and loose ends of DNA are wrongly connected by P53 causing an increased cancer risk 1 DNA-damaging free radicals are equivalent to a source of sparks which is always present naturally 2 Cancer is equivalent the fire you get if the sparks are allowed to ignite the gasoline ie if the free radicals are allowed to damage DNA without the damage being repaired 3 Protein P53 is equivalent to a fire suppression system which is constantly damping out the sparks or repairing the damaged DNA so that cancer doesn’t occur In this way of thinking the ‘cause’ of cancer will be down to a failure of a DNA repairing enzyme like protein P53 to repair the damage Dr Jane Orient ‘Homeland Security for Physicians’ Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons vol 11 number 3 Fall 2006 pp 75-9: ‘In the 1960s a group of activist physicians called Physicians for Social Responsibility PSR undertook to educate the medical profession and the world about the dangers of nuclear weapons beginning with a series of articles in the New England Journal of Medicine Note that journal was publishing information for anti-civil defense propaganda back in 1949 eg the article in volume 241 pp 647-53 of New England Journal of Medicine which falsely suggests that civil defense in nuclear war would be hopeless because a single burned patient in 1947 with 40 body area burns required 42 oxygen tanks 36 pints of plasma 40 pints of whole blood 104 pints of fluids 4300 m of gauze 3 nurses and 2 doctors First only unclothed persons in direct line of sight without shadowing can get 40 body area burns from thermal radiation second duck and cover offers protection in a nuclear attack warning and G V LeRoy had already published two years earlier in JAMA volume 134 1947 pp 1143-8 that less than 5 of burns in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were caused by building and debris fires In medicine it is always possible to expend vast resources on patients who are fatally injured In a mass casualty situation doctors should not give up just because they don’t have unlimited resources as at Hiroshima and Nagasaki they would need to do their best with what they have On its website wwwpsrorg the group boasts that it led the campaign to end atmospheric nuclear testing With this campaign the linear no-threshold LNT theory of radiation carcinogenesis became entrenched It enabled activists to calculate enormous numbers of potential casualties by taking a tiny risk and multiplying it by the population of the earth As an enduring consequence the perceived risks of radiation are far out of proportion to actual risks causing tremendous damage to the American nuclear industry Efforts to save lives were not only futile but unethical: Any suggestion that nuclear war could be survivable increased its likelihood and was thus tantamount to warmongering PSR spokesmen warned ‘For the mindset that engendered and enables this situation which jeopardizes the existence of the United States as a nation as well as the lives of millions of its citizens some American physicians and certain prestigious medical organizations bear a heavy responsibility ‘Ethical physicians should stand ready to help patients to the best of their ability and not advocate sacrificing them in the name of a political agenda Even very basic knowledge especially combined with simple inexpensive advance preparations could save countless lives’ Dr Theodore B Taylor Proceedings of the Second Interdisciplinary Conference on Selected Effects of a General War DASIAC Special Report 95 July 1969 vol 2 DASA-2019-2 AD0696959 page 298 also linked here: ‘I must just say that as far as I’m concerned I have had some doubts about whether we should have had a civil defense program in the past I have no doubt whatsoever now for this reason that I’ve seen ways in which the deterrent forces can fail to hold things off so that no matter what our national leaders do criminal organizations what have you groups of people over which we have no control whatsoever can threaten other groups of people’ This point of Taylor is the key fact on the morality Suppose we disarm and abandon nuclear power That won’t stop fallout from a war terrorists or a foreign reactor blast from coming Civil defence knowledge is needed Even when America has ABM it will be vulnerable to wind carried fallout No quantity of pacifist hot air will protect people against radiation Charles J Hitch and Roland B McKean of the RAND Corporation in their 1960 book The Economics of Defense in the Nuclear Age Harvard University Press Massachusetts pp 310-57: ‘With each side possessing only a small striking force a small amount of cheating would give one side dominance over the other and the incentive to cheat and prepare a preventative attack would be strong With each side possessing say several thousand missiles a vast amount of cheating would be necessary to give one side the ability to wipe out the other’s striking capability the more extensive a disarmament agreement is the smaller the force that a violator would have to hide in order to achieve complete domination Most obviously “the abolition of the weapons necessary in a general or ‘unlimited’ war” would offer the most insuperable obstacles to an inspection plan since the violator could gain an overwhelming advantage from the concealment of even a few weapons’ Disarmament after World War I caused the following problem which led to World War II reported by Winston S Churchill in the London Daily Express newspaper of November 1 1934: ‘Germany is arming secretly illegally and rapidly A reign of terror exists in Germany to keep secret the feverish and terrible preparations they are making’ British Prime Minister Thatcher’s address to the United Nations General Assembly on disarmament on 23 June 1982 where she pointed out that in the years since the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki 10 million people had been killed by 140 non-nuclear conflicts: ‘The fundamental risk to peace is not the existence of weapons of particular types It is the disposition on the part of some states to impose change on others by resorting to force against other nations Aggressors do not start wars because an adversary has built up his own strength They start wars because they believe they can gain more by going to war than by remaining at peace’ J D Culshaw the then Director of the UK Home Office Scientific Advisory Branch stated in his article in the Scientific Advisory Branch journal Fission Fragments September 1972 issue No 19 classified ‘Restricted’: ‘Apart from those who don’t want to know or can’t be bothered there seem to be three major schools of thought about the nature of a possible Third World War ‘The first group think of something like World War II but a little worse ‘ the second of World War II but very much worse ‘and the third group think in terms of a catastrophe ‘When the Armageddon concept is in favour the suggestion that such problems exist leads to way out research on these phenomena and it is sufficient to mention a new catastrophic threat eg 10 years later this was done by Sagan with nuclear winter hype which turned out to be fake because modern concrete cities can’t produce firestorms like 1940s wooden-built areas of Hamburg Dresden and Hiroshima to stimulate research into the possibilities of it arising The underlying appeal of this concept is that if one could show that the execution of all out nuclear biological or chemical warfare would precipitate the end of the world no one but a mad man would be prepared to initiate such a war However as history proves plenty of mad men end up gaining power and leading countries into wars’ J K S Clayton then Director of the UK Home Office Scientific Advisory Branch stated in his introduction entitled The Challenge – Why Home Defence to the 1977 Home Office Scientific Advisory Branch Training Manual for Scientific Advisers: ‘Since 1945 we have had nine wars – in Korea Malaysia and Vietnam between China and India China and Russia India and Pakistan and between the Arabs and Israelis on three occasions We have had confrontations between East and West over Berlin Formosa and Cuba There have been civil wars or rebellions in no less than eleven countries and invasions or threatened invasions of another five Whilst it is not suggested that all these incidents could have resulted in major wars they do indicate the aptitude of mankind to resort to a forceful solution of its problems sometimes with success ‘ It is estimated that Mongol invaders exterminated 35 million Chinese between 1311-40 without modern weapons Communist Chinese killed 263 million dissenters between 1949 and May 1965 according to detailed data compiled by the Russians on 7 April 1969 The Soviet communist dictatorship killed 40 million dissenters mainly owners of small farms between 1917-59 Conventional non-nuclear air raids on Japan killed 600000 during World War II The single incendiary air raid on Tokyo on 10 March 1945 killed 140000 people more than the total for nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined at much less than the 2 billion expense of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs! Non-nuclear air raids on Germany during World War II killed 593000 civilians The argument that the enemy will continue stocking megaton fallout weapons if we go to cleaner weapons is irrelevant for deterrence since we’re not planning to start war just to credibly deter invasions You should not try to lower your standards of warfare to those of your enemy to appease groupthink taboos or you will end up like Britain’s leaders in the 1930s trying to collaborate with fascists for popular applause House of Lords debate Nuclear Weapons: Destructive Power published in Hansard 14 June 1988: Lord Hailsham of Saint Marylebone: ‘My Lords if we are going into the question of lethality of weapons and seek thereby to isolate the nuclear as distinct from the so-called conventional range is there not a danger that the public may think that Vimy Passchendaele and Dresden were all right—sort of tea parties—and that nuclear war is something which in itself is unacceptable’ Lord Trefgarne: ‘My Lords the policy of making Europe or the rest of the world safe for conventional war is not one that I support’ House of Commons debate Civil Defence published in Hansard 26 October 1983: Mr Bill Walker Tayside North: ‘I remind the House that more people died at Stalingrad than at Hiroshima or Nagasaki Yet people talk about fighting a conventional war in Europe as if it were acceptable One rarely sees demonstrations by the so-called peace movement against a conventional war in Europe but it could be nothing but ghastly and horrendous The casualties would certainly exceed those at Stalingrad and that cannot be acceptable to anyone who wants peace’ On 29 October 1982 Thatcher stated of the Berlin Wall: ‘In every decade since the war the Soviet leaders have been reminded that their pitiless ideology only survives because it is maintained by force But the day comes when the anger and frustration of the people is so great that force cannot contain it Then the edifice cracks: the mortar crumbles one day liberty will dawn on the other side of the wall’ On 22 November 1990 she said: ‘Today we have a Europe where the threat to our security from the overwhelming conventional forces of the Warsaw Pact has been removed where the Berlin Wall has been torn down and the Cold War is at an end These immense changes did not come about by chance They have been achieved by strength and resolution in defence and by a refusal ever to be intimidated’ ‘The case for civil defence stands regardless of whether a nuclear deterrent is necessary or not Even if the UK were not itself at war we would be as powerless to prevent fallout from a nuclear explosion crossing the sea as was King Canute to stop the tide’ – UK Home Office leaflet Civil Defence 1982 ‘ peace cannot be guaranteed absolutely Nobody can be certain no matter what policies this or any other Government were to adopt that the United Kingdom would never again be attacked Also we cannot tell what form such an attack might take Current strategic thinking suggests that if war were to break out it would start with a period of conventional hostilities of uncertain duration which might or might not escalate to nuclear conflict while nuclear weapons exist there must always be a chance however small that they will be used against us like gas bombs in World War II as a consequence of war between other nations in which we were not involved fall out from nuclear explosions could fall on a neutral Britain conventional war is not the soft option that is sometimes suggested It is also too easily forgotten that in World War II some 50 million people died and that conventional weapons have gone on killing people ever since 1945 without respite’ – – The Minister of State Scottish Office Lord Gray of Contin House of Lords debate on Civil Defence General Local Authority Functions Regulations Hansard vol 444 cc 523-49 1 November 1983 ‘All of us are living in the light and warmth of a huge hydrogen bomb 860000 miles across and 93 million miles away which is in a state of continuous explosion’ – Dr Isaac Asimov ‘Dr Edward Teller remarked recently that the origin of the earth was somewhat like the explosion of the atomic bomb’ – Dr Harold C Urey The Planets: Their Origin and Development Yale University Press New Haven 1952 p ix ‘But compared with a supernova a hydrogen bomb is the merest trifle For a supernova is equal in violence to about a million million million million hydrogen bombs all going off at the same time’ – Sir Fred Hoyle 1915-2001 The Nature of the Universe Pelican Books London 1963 p 75 ‘In fact physicists find plenty of interesting and novel physics in the environment of a nuclear explosion Some of the physical phenomena are valuable objects of research and promise to provide further understanding of nature’ – Dr Harold L Brode The RAND Corporation ‘Review of Nuclear Weapons Effects’ Annual Review of Nuclear Science Volume 18 1968 pp 153-202 ‘It seems that similarities do exist between the processes of formation of single particles from nuclear explosions and formation of the solar system from the debris of a 4 x 1028 megatons of TNT equivalent type Ia supernova explosion We may be able to learn much more about the origin of the earth by further investigating the process of radioactive fallout from the nuclear weapons tests’ – Dr Paul K Kuroda 1917-2001 University of Arkansas ‘Radioactive Fallout in Astronomical Settings: Plutonium-244 in the Early Environment of the Solar System’ pages 83-96 of Radionuclides in the Environment: A Symposium Sponsored By the Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology At the 155th Meeting of the American Chemical Society San Francisco California April 1-3 1968 edited by Symposium Chairman Dr Edward C Freiling 1922-2000 of the US Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory Advances in Chemistry Series No 93 American Chemical Society Washington DC 1970 Dr Paul K Kuroda 1917-2001 in 1956 correctly predicted the existence of water-moderated natural nuclear reactors in flooded uranium ore seams which were discovered in 1972 by French physicist Francis Perrin in three ore deposits at Oklo in Gabon where sixteen sites operated as natural nuclear reactors with self-sustaining nuclear fission 2000 million years ago each lasting several hundred thousand years averaging 100 kW The radioactive waste they generated remained in situ for a period of 2000000000 years without escaping They were discovered during investigations into why the U-235 content of the uranium in the ore was only 07171 instead of the normal 07202 Some of the ore in the middle of the natural reactors had a U-235 isotopic abundance of just 0440 Kuroda’s brilliant paper is entitled ‘On the Nuclear Physical Stability of the Uranium Minerals’ published in the Journal of Chemical Physics vol 25 1956 pp 781–782 and 1295–1296 A type Ia supernova explosion always yielding 4 x 1028 megatons of TNT equivalent results from the critical mass effect of the collapse of a white dwarf as soon as its mass exceeds 14 solar masses due to matter falling in from a companion star The degenerate electron gas in the white dwarf is then no longer able to support the pressure from the weight of gas which collapses thereby releasing enough gravitational potential energy as heat and pressure to cause the fusion of carbon and oxygen into heavy elements creating massive amounts of radioactive nuclides particularly intensely radioactive nickel-56 but half of all other nuclides including uranium and heavier are also produced by the ‘R’ rapid process of successive neutron captures by fusion products in supernovae explosions Type Ia supernovae occur typically every 400 years in the Milky Way galaxy On 4 July 1054 Chinese astronomers observed in the sky without optical instruments the bright supernova in the constellation Taurus which today is still visible as the Crab Nebula through telescopes The Crab Nebula debris has a diameter now of 7 light years and is still expanding at 800 miles/second The supernova debris shock wave triggers star formation when it encounters hydrogen gas in space by compressing it and seeding it with debris bright stars are observed in the Orion Halo the 300 light year diameter remains of a supernova It is estimated that when the solar system was forming 4540 million years ago a supernova occurred around 100 light years away and the heavy radioactive debris shock wave expanded at 1000 miles/second Most of the heavy elements including iron silicon and calcium in the Earth and people are the stable end products of originally radioactive decay chains from the space burst fallout of a 7 x 1026 megatons thermonuclear explosion created by fusion and successive neutron captures after the implosion of a white dwarf a supernova explosion How would a 1055 megaton hydrogen bomb explosion differ from the big bang Ignorant answers biased in favour of curved spacetime ignoring quantum gravity! abound such as claims that explosions can’t take place in ‘outer space’ disagreeing with the facts from nuclear space bursts by Russia and America in 1962 not to mention natural supernova explosions in space! and that explosions produce sound waves in air by definition! There are indeed major differences in the nuclear reactions between the big bang and a nuclear bomb But it is helpful to notice the solid physical fact that implosion systems suggest the mechanism of gravitation: in implosion TNT is well-known to produce an inward force on a bomb core but Newton’s 3rd law says there is an equal and opposite reaction force outward In fact you can’t have a radially outward force without an inward reaction force! It’s the rocket principle The rocket accelerates with force F ma forward by virtue of the recoil from accelerating the exhaust gas with force F -ma in the opposite direction! Nothing massive accelerates without an equal and opposite reaction force Applying this fact to the measured 6 x 10-10 ms-2 Hc cosmological acceleration of matter radially outward from observers in the universe which was predicted accurately in 1996 and later observationally discovered in 1999 by Perlmutter et al we find an outward force F ma and inward reaction force by the 3rd law The inward force allows quantitative predictions and is mediated by gravitons predicting gravitation in a checkable way unlike string theory which is just a landscape of 10500 different perturbative theories and so can’t make any falsifiable predictions about gravity So it seems as if nuclear explosions do indeed provide helpful analogies to natural features of the world and the mainstream lambda-CDM model of cosmology – with its force-fitted unobserved ad hoc speculative ‘dark energy’ – ignores and sweeps under the rug major quantum gravity effects which increase the physical understanding of particle physics particularly force unification and the relation of gravitation to the existing electroweak SU2 x U1 section of the Standard Model of fundamental forces Richard Lieu Physics Department University of Alabama ‘Lambda-CDM cosmology: how much suppression of credible evidence and does the model really lead its competitors using all evidence’ Even Einstein grasped the possibility that general relativity’s lambda-CDM model is at best just a classical approximation to quantum field theory at the end of his life when he wrote to Besso in 1954: ‘I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the classical differential equation field principle ie on continuous structures In that case nothing remains of my entire castle in the air non-quantum gravitation theory included ’ ‘Science is the organized skepticism in the reliability of expert opinion’ – Professor Richard P Feynman quoted by Professor Lee Smolin The Trouble with Physics Houghton-Mifflin New York 2006 p 307 ‘The expression of dissenting views may not seem like much of a threat to a powerful organization yet sometimes it triggers an amazingly hostile response The reason is that a single dissenter can puncture an illusion of unanimity Among those suppressed have been the engineers who tried to point out problems with the Challenger space shuttle that caused it to blow up More fundamentally suppression is a denial of the open dialogue and debate that are the foundation of a free society Even worse than the silencing of dissidents is the chilling effect such practices have on others For every individual who speaks out numerous others decide to play it safe and keep quiet More serious than external censorship is the problem of self-censorship’ — Professor Brian Martin University of Wollongong ‘Stamping Out Dissent’ Newsweek 26 April 1993 pp 49-50 In 1896 Sir James Mackenzie-Davidson asked Wilhelm Röntgen who discovered X-rays in 1895: ‘What did you think’ Röntgen replied: ‘I did not think I investigated’ The reason Cathode ray expert J J Thomson in 1894 saw glass fluorescence far from a tube but due to prejudice expert opinion he avoided investigating that X-ray evidence!

Large explosions are inefficient because they cause unintended collateral damage wasting energy off the target area and injuring or damaging unintended targets! In a controlled sample of 36500 survivors 89 people got leukemia over a 40 year period above the number in the unexposed control group Data: Radiation Research volume 146 1996 pages 1-27 Over 40 years in 36500 survivors monitored there were 176 leukemia deaths which is 89 more than the control unexposed group got naturally There were 4687 other cancer deaths but that was merely 339 above the number in the control unexposed group so this is statistically a much smaller rise than the leukemia result Natural leukemia rates which are very low in any case were increased by 51 in the irradiated survivors but other cancers were merely increased by just 7 Adding all the cancers together the total was 4863 cancers virtually all natural cancer nothing whatsoever to do with radiation which is just 428 more than the unexposed control group Hence the total increase over the natural cancer rate due to bomb exposure was only 9 spread over a period of 40 years There was no increase whatsoever in genetic malformations There should be a note here about how unnatural radioactive pollution is not in space: the earth’s atmosphere is a radiation shield equivalent to being protected behind a layer of water 10 metres thick This reduces the cosmic background radiation by a factor of 100 of what it would be without the earth’s atmosphere Away from the largely uninhabited poles the Earth’s magnetic field also protects us against charged cosmic radiations which are deflected and end up spiralling around the magnetic field at high altitude in the Van Allen trapped radiation belts On the Moon for example there is no atmosphere or significant magnetic field so the natural background radiation exposure rate at solar minimum is 1 milliRoentgen per hour about 10 microSieverts/hour some 100 times that on the Earth 0010 milliRoentgen per hour or about 010 microSieverts/hour The Apollo astronauts visiting the Moon wore dosimeters and they received an average of 275 milliRoentgens about 275 milliSieverts of radiation well over a year’s exposure to natural background at sea level in over just 195 days It is a lot more than that during a solar flare which is one of the concerns for astronauts to avoid micrometeorites are another concern in a soft spacesuit The higher up you are above sea level the less of the atmosphere there is between you and space so the less shielding you have to protect you from the intense cosmic space radiations emitted by thermonuclear reactors we call ‘stars’ as well as distant supernovae explosions At sea level the air above you constitutes a radiation shield of 10 tons per square metre or the equivalent of having a 10 metres thick water shield between you and outer space As you go up a mountain or up in an aircraft the amount of atmosphere between you and space decreases thus radiation levels increase with altitude because there is less shielding The normal background radiation exposure rate shoots up by a factor of 20 from 0010 to 020 milliRoentgens per hour when any airplane ascends from sea level to 36000 feet cruising altitude The now obsolete British Concorde supersonic transport used to maintain radiation-monitoring equipment so that it could drop to lower-altitude flight routes if excessive cosmic radiation due to solar storms were detected Flight aircrew get more radiation exposure than many nuclear industry workers at nuclear power plants Residents of the high altitude city of Denver get 100 milliRoentgens about 1 milliSievert more annual exposure than a resident of Washington DC but the mainstream anti-radiation cranks don’t campaign for the city to be shut to save kids radiation exposure for mountain climbing to be banned etc! 1994 revised Introduction to Kearny’s Nuclear War Survival Skills by Dr Edward Teller January 14 1994: ‘If defense is neglected these weapons of attack become effective They become available and desirable in the eyes of an imperialist dictator even if his means are limited Weapons of mass destruction could become equalizers between nations big and small highly developed and primitive if defense is neglected If defense is developed and if it is made available for general prevention of war weapons of aggression will become less desirable Thus defense makes war itself less probable One psychological defense mechanism against danger is to forget about it This attitude is as common as it is disastrous It may turn a limited danger into a fatal difficulty’ Advice of Robert Watson-Watt Chief Scientist on the World War II British Radar Project defending Britain against enemy attacks: ‘Give them the third best to go on with the second best comes too late the best never comes’ From Wikipedia a source of groupthink: ‘Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing analyzing and evaluating ideas Individual creativity uniqueness and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought that might normally be obtained by making decisions as a group During groupthink members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty irrational decisions where individual doubts are set aside for fear of upsetting the group’s balance’ | 1 |

SAG-AFTRA screening room on Sunday afternoon – Jhani Kaye Sunday Nostalgia – 12 Years Ago Today An Open Memo to Phil Hendrie May 6 2006 Memo to: Phil Hendrie From: Don Barrett It is indeed a sad day to know that you are leaving radio for the lure of television You aren’t the first to make the move Many other LARP made it successfully on a national basis You have a tail wind of talent in front of you Bob Eubanks the KRLA Top 40 jock who brought the Beatles to Southern California was the long-time host of the enormously popular Newlywed Game Wink Martindale dovetailed high profile radio jobs at KHJ KFWB KRLA and KMPC into a series of game show hosting that numbers well over 20 As far as drama one only has to follow David Hall’s journey from KNX/fm to pd at KKHR to coroner on the enormously successful original CSI In a sitcom success KNX morning man Bob Crane starred in Hogan’s Heroes We have followed your journey with the mercurial attempts with network pilots and then reveled in your success when NBC green lighted the sitcom that debuted earlier this year Teachers Network and production execs have convinced you that your future rests in television We’ve heard you on animated projects like King of the Hill and Futurama But we will miss you It’s not just you that we’ll miss but all of your alter egos Will Bobbie Dooley ever leave her gated community And what about your on-going feud with Combover Boy aka Tom Leykis Hopefully you will find a public home for Doug Dannger Vernon Dozier Ted Bell RC Collins and Margaret Gray When you weren’t talking with one of your character friends you were very self-revealing about the elections the war and your marriage difficulties We shared your wedding to radio royalty Maria Sanchez and you became an instant father to four Your 1997 marriage on the Queen Mary was officiated by Bill Handel and broadcast live on KFI During the last year you have shared the difficulties in your marriage and eventual separation We met on the phone in 1993 when you were working in Florida I was working on the first edition of Los Angeles Radio People You described your show but I never understood it until you returned to the Southland You left that first conversation with the declaration: “I’m doing one of the most creative talk shows in America featuring character voices and interactive improv comedy If you hear anyone else doing it they stole it from me” In 1996 you returned to KFI and gads it was like a firestorm of publicity buzz and fascination If indeed there was anything like water cooler talk you would have dominated the conversation It was not only the fascination of how you could talk to yourself but it was the choice of topics that seemed like they were pulled right out of the headlines of the day’s news Daily you were on your game for many years Celebrities lined up to get a prized invitation to watch you work You shared your “secrets” at the Museum of TV amp Radio in front of a SRO audience At industry conventions you were the star Your peer group gathered around you like you were a rock star You and I don’t communicate In the beginning you praised my work but something happened You requested or maybe it was demanded that I never mention your name again at LARadiocom Request denied You would have missed out on all the 1st place finishes in the yearly peer voting for the Best LARP of the Year You would have missed out on all the stories and email that praised your work When KFI decided to set you loose and you moved over to KLAC and your syndicated show bounced between LA Lakers games it seemed like all the energy had been sucked out of you The show never seemed the same Instead of consistency the show would spurt Too many repeats and Best Of shows were aired But even when you phoned it in it was unique programming But it was time to move on You’ve done it all You have nothing more to prove Your place in LARadio history is secure – make that the entire radio industry You have forever made an indelible mark as one of the truly innovative creative and brilliant radio minds When you were on your game you were the best There will simply be no one like you – ever again With sadness the LA radio community sheds a tear for its loss but we will get to watch you on a much bigger canvas Once all your energy is directed toward the eye in the tube watch out There’s nothing to suggest that you won’t be an enormous success in the second half of your life And I’ll never look at the aluminum foil on my baked potato again without thinking of Ted Bell’s Steak House in Beverly Hills Email Saturday 70s Never Sounded Old “Talk about thought-provoking The ‘Oldie not an Oldie’ question really made me think To me an Oldie is from the 50’s and 60’s Of course growing up in the 60’s I listened to everything from Big Band to Marty Robbins and the Monkees And it helped to have KMPC on the dial along with Boss Radio KFWB and KRLA So the 70’s never sounded old to me Now when you listen to K-EARTH I don’t think they play anything other than a Beatle song or Led Zeppelin from the 60’s or 70’s I think maybe we had it better as far as diversity From recitation songs to ‘flying records’ to Broadway/Movie soundtracks as long as it was good or even interesting Top 40 played it Even now JACK/fm will slip in the album version of One Night In Bangkok next to Foster the People or Def Leppard – that’s a mix! Hopefully the Clear Channels and iHeart Radios will allow space in their stations for crossover talent/music that has that relevance or hook And stop eating their own just to eliminate competition” – Julie Byers When Is an Oldie Not an Oldie “Answer: When radio started to believe that its mission was to program stringently bordered ‘categories’ to one-dimensional listeners instead of ‘music memories emotions’ ‘information/history” and “entertainment” to complex human beings The lack of such artists as Chuck Berry Little Richard Buddy Holly Elvis Presley countless Motown acts and so many more from today’s terrestrial radio consciousness is an embarrassment Don’t get me wrong I am a devote futurist But if you don’t know where you are coming from it sure limits your understanding of the road ahead” – Michael Harrison TALKERS Real Oldies “I really enjoyed reading Monday’s column on the Oldies When I was in my teens Oldies meant songs from the 1930’s and 40’s The Big Band era and songs popular during World War II were not mentioned in your missive I was not around during that time but I do remember songs such as In the Mood or Tuxedo Junction by Glenn Miller Other big bands included Count Basie and Artie Shaw Since I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area I still remember KSFO and KNBR playing the Oldies I mentioned above Do very many people remember Frank Dill or Don Sherwood I believe that your discussion on what makes an Oldie an Oldie is valid If my parents were still around they may have a different point of view about what constitutes an Oldie Keep up the good work If you ever get to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on!” – Sterrett Harper Burbank Joe Benson’s New Assignment “Yes we are all fans of Uncle Joe” – Karen Martin Florence amp Normandy “YEAAA for Joe Benson!

Princi who was one of the classiest guys I ever met he was the first radio person I met when I was 7 and sparked my desire to become a broadcaster must have had issues with it There’s got to be a story there Your brief story on the Tappet brothers jogged my memory of one of the shows I syndicated in the mid-80s The Auto Report hosted by John Dinkle then the editor of Road and Track and wonderfully co-hosted by Bruce Chandler who I had met in the early 70s when he was at KMEN Bruce later tipped me off to an opening at Transtar where I spent the next 23 years What a treat working with him and with Dinkle who had been a frequent guest of Michael Jackson on KABC before joining our show” – Larry Jack Boxer Sad at Mark Morris Passing “I knew Mark Morris and we were friends I was impressed by his gentlemanliness and valued his friendship I am shocked and appalled at the news of his untimely death He shall surely be missed” – Laura Brodian Freas Beraha Best Employee “Mark

Morris’ passing He was one of the best guys I ever worked with He was so professional at his craft An excellent radio dj and production guy He was always in a good mood and no task was too great for him He always got the job done But most especially his kindness toward others I never heard him speak an unkind word about anyone He had that great smile and laugh that I’ll miss The heavens are brighter with him” – Dominick Garcia Classic Uncle Joe Lands at Townsquare May 4 2018 Uncle Joe Benson veteran of KLOS twice for over 15 years KLSX ‘Arrow 93’ KCBS and most recently 1003/The Sound has landed a nighttime syndicated program for Townsquare’s weeknight “Ultimate Classic Rock” He will be able to do the show heard on 60 stations from his home “I’ll be saving 2-25 hours traffic each day” said Uncle Joe Joe had a long tenure as host of Westwood One’s weekly “Off the Record” and many of his interviews stories and videos will be part of “Ultimate Classic Rock” program “I know all the elements I know all the songs I can tell my stories I’ve been doing for years I’ll be able to do the features I’ve done for years There will probably be a 1010 a story on ‘this day in history’ and various other features that will allow me to tell stories” Joe said by phone yesterdayGrowing up in the Midwest Joe would frequently just go out to his garage with his buddies and hang out He took that same concept in chatting with some of the biggest names in the music business “We opened up Uncle Joe’s Garage and started shooting videos during the interviews At least 5000 people view the interviews each week some weeks as many as 80000 I just love having fun with people” It was a matter of great timing for Joe and his boss Kurt Johnson a big dj in the 70s and early 80s at Townsquare “It took a couple of months to sort out the situation with Entercom and CBS and Townsquare was looking to make a change with the ‘Ultimate Classic Rock’ program I already knew how to do syndication since ‘Off the Record’ has been going for twenty years” The AOR legend proudly talked about his kids His daughter is graduating from the University of the Pacific “She’s a performance bassoonist and going for her Master’s in Toronto My son is an extraordinary guitarist and this summer his band will be on tour He’s extraordinary Steve Miller has been his mentor Just to see the talent in the two kids I wish my dad was around to see it” In 1968 Joe started working for a small station in Dubuque After stops in Milwaukee and Cleveland he joined KLOS in October 1980 “I’ve had the pleasure of working with a lot of great people” In January 1995 the Classic Rock station KLSX hired Joe to reprise his popular Sunday night show as well as do fill-in In summer 1996 he returned to KLOS to host 7th Day and by January 1997 was working afternoon drive In August 1997 Joe took the morning shift at Arrow 93 featuring more of his ‘stories’ to compliment the music intensive Classic Rock format Over

format of the weekday show Shapiro is also a nationally-syndicated columnist since age 17 and a graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law School … Ken Minyard longtime morning man at KABC has some striking thoughts about radio that he shared on Facebook: “I just listened to a couple of commercial radio stations this morning for the 1st time in years It’s easy to see why terrestrial radio is dying If you are accustomed to listening to satellite radio or podcasts or any of the other Internet options it is almost impossible to tolerate the avalanche of commercials fired at you Back when I was in the game it was just as bad but listeners didn’t have the choices they have today The path forward is pretty bleak Today’s radio is just as outdated as 8-track tapes imo” Mark Morris LARP Veteran for 30 Years Dies May 3 2018 Mark Morris a beloved local broadcaster died yesterday of a ruptured fistula He had been on kidney dialysis for a few years Most recently Mark had a show at Hot923thebeatcom He

at Power 106 and now at the same slot at AMP Radio at an SCBA function at Disneyland Her energy was undeniable as she met guests from the theme park and signed autographs She has an incredible personal life raising six adopted kids LA Weekly published a 2015 story about Yesi by Rebecca Haithcoat Here are some highlights: As a child Yesi Ortiz was so shy that she would opt for an F rather than speak in front of the class “I always felt like I was an outsider I used to talk to myself — I still do!” says the petite bubbly Ortiz bursting into laughter and wrapping her hands around a steaming cup of spiced apple tea one brisk evening But her most impressive title might be “Mom” In addition to her duties on air she juggles being an adoptive mother to six kids “I’m very successful because of the drama in my life” says Ortiz Her lips are curved into a perma-smile “There’s no time to have a pity party” Born in San Clemente to Mexican immigrants who spoke little English and divorced when she was a baby Ortiz had difficulty making friends The town was predominantly white yet she was one of a handful of Latinos taking ESL classes To make blending in trickier Ortiz and her mother stepfather and sister all lived in a single room they rented in someone’s apartment Adrift after graduating high school in the late 1990s Ortiz was listening to Power 106 and heard a commercial advertising the Academy of Radio and Television Broadcasting She and her mother had a stormy relationship but watching her mom learn English by singing along to the radio was its one sunny spot So she signed up and in less than six months had landed a gig as the “Latin Diva” at a new station in Las Vegas Her career was taking off but there was trouble at home Six of her sister’s children had been taken into foster care Ortiz found a radio job in San Diego but the station was located in Tijuana Having spent a good chunk of her savings on hiring a lawyer to fight for the kids she moved into a cheap apartment in TJ and survived on peanut butter–and-jelly sandwiches Her perseverance paid off — within two years she had become the 25-year-old foster mother of three boys and three girls all of whom she later adopted She has appeared on the popular VH1 show Love amp Hip-Hop but the fame hasn’t gone to her head — her kids are a built-in equalizer “They don’t care that I was just on air with JLo” Ortiz says hopping into her mom van “They just want to know what’s for dinner” Read the entire story by clicking Yesi’s photo provided by Ryan Orange Two LARPs on the TIME 100 Most Influential

him plenty of material But my favorite Jimmy moment was a serious monologue with only a few laughs Last year Jimmy told America the story of his infant son Billy who was born with a congenital heart condition and the extraordinary care that saved his life And then Jimmy looked into the camera and told all of us in Washington to get real about health insurance and make sure every baby Billy had a

Marinko closely associated with KABC for years is moving to Winter Park Florida near Orlando “Besides the obvious economics we simply feel lost here in California” wrote Rob on his Facebook page “This

Maybe April 30 2018 While preparing this column on “what defines an Oldie” I had SiriusXM on my radio Their 60s channel was counting down the big hits of January 1960 A shorthand look at the 50s would probably include Chuck Berry Elvis Presley and Fats Domino while the 60s split between the Beach Boys The Beatles and Motown And then there was everything in between Included in the January 1960 countdown was Scarlett Ribbons by the Browns Uh Oh Part Two by the Nutty Squirrels and the Village of St Bernadette by Andy Williams Would you consider any of these three songs hits representative of the era Hardly but there they were in the Top 20 of that chart Trying to answer the question of when an Oldie was no longer considered Oldies is prompted by an earlier question from Rich Brother Robbin proprietor of RichBroRadio on the Internet His site plays primarily the hits from the 50s and 60s He asked if the cutoff for the Top 40 era is earlier or even later Gary Lane thinks the cutoff year was 1963 “You know it’s kind of funny Tom Clay Pat Michaels and I were talking about this years ago at KWIZ in Santa Ana” emailed Gary Dodger Steve believes a true Oldie stands the test of time and can get people moving and grooving whenever and where it’s played The Disco era signaled the end of Oldies for Bob Scott “If I had to pick a year I would say 1973” “My short answer is that there is no answer” emailed Lane Quigley longtime host on RockItRadionet “Music is in a constant state of evolution Even on those rare occasions when there seemed to be a ‘big bang’ eg Beatles / Rock Around The Clock that music evolved from all that came before” Quigley continued: “You will recall that when I was doing my Memory Lane Show on KUSC in the 70’s we played ‘pre-Beatle Oldies’ That was a convenient delineation of the end of the first era of rock amp roll mainly because it seemed to generate interest in music to a younger audience than what came before It was probably the last such clear delineation Over time I think the term Oldies has come to represent Rock music through the end of the 60’s Most folks will always think the music of their school years was the best but the term ‘Oldie’ does not generally seem to be applied to music from the 70’s and beyond” “I think that the British invasion and influence from bands like the Grass Roots Paul Revere and the Raiders Gary Lewis and the Playboys Credence Clearwater etc all contributed to making some of the late 50’s and early 60’s music sound really old” emailed Craig Roberts “Many of those 60’s songs played well up to the mid 70’s then of course the ‘New Wave’ sound of the 80’s made those records sound old Time marches on and so does music” “First while as a convenience I keep my favorite Oldies 50s-and-60s in a single sub-directoryin reality I consider 1968 as an end of Oldies” wrote Chime Hart of Sherman Oaks “The music of ‘69 was much less enjoyable especially among slower records along with Progressive Rock invading While there are some songs from each year which I enjoy it does seem to go in cycles Just as a lull in 1960 1970 was not so good but 1961 and 1971 had lots of material I purchased As for early Oldies stations my friend up in Oakland says KWIZ went Oldies on January 7 1965” Personally I’m a big fan of 50s and 60s music because it is in my wheelhouse when I went to school Memories are usually associated with a period of first-discoveries in relationships When Rich first posed the question I thought back to 1968 I was national program director for Gordon McLendon based in Dallas We were invited to an Iron Butterfly concert After 15 minutes of In Gadda Da Vida I turned to my wife and said “The music has now passed me by” Thanks to those who participated Rock on … My buddy with the blast furnace energy Rich Brother Robbin gets the last word: My view is that “Top 40” and “Oldies” are different formats Top 40 is the 40 most popular songs as determined by the best research we could get on any given week Oldies is totally different from Top 40 and is far more subjective When the Oldies format really caught fire in the mid-70’s through early 80’s we literally threw in the kitchen sink For example we played El Paso by Marty Robbins “hey it was number one for the entire year in 1960” or even more odd Bobby Vinton’s There I’ve Said it Again a chart-topper in 1964 that eclipsed a whole gob of super-smash Beatles songs just because it was number one We quickly discovered the MOR Country and fringy novelty stuff didn’t synergize with the rest of the playlist of pop hits and artists We realized playing Oldies was more about the sonic compatibility of songs versus their chart position Should There I Said it Again get more airplay than I Want to Hold Your Hand just because the former charted higher the year of release Of course not We discovered it was more about “fit” though what “fits” and “doesn’t fit” is subjective We learned stations which kept the music poppin’ offering three or four up-tempo tunes for every ballad or “slower” song got better and better audiences Music research entered into programming then there was good ol’ Bill “less songs bigger hits more often” Drake making changes at KRTH cutting the playlist to 300 – 400 selections and the ratings soared Instead of old stodgy numbers or silly Country bullshit Oldies stations playing more up-tempo songs and knock-your-head off ballads like the Righteous Brothers had greater success So am guessin’ my answer to the question is it’s about music from an era that match sonically The real question is which songs fit together Starting from Elvis there’s the Beatles Beach Boys Everly Brothers Chuck Berry good ol’ American pop from the late 50’s and 60’s Motown more of the British Invasion and so on probably through a year or two after the Beatles’ break-up in 1969 In the end the Oldies format is the Oldies format but it’s jus not that black-and-white We have mainstream Oldies mellow Oldies rock Oldies poppy wimpy Oldies sickening or romantic depending on your disposition and gender sappy ballads and on and on They’re ALL Oldies!

Etched in the Star was the name David Avey David A series of frantic phone calls and Johnny Grant solved the problem just in time for the late morning ceremonies Whew! Pictured: Dan is surrounded by KABCers Steve Sheldon Shelley Wagner Avey apd Bernard Pendergrass and gm John Davison a look at Dan’s Star and you can see how they removed the VID from David and added an N to make Dan A new replacement Star will be installed and former KNX news director Ed Pyle “Whether the story is social political or of an entertainment nature Avey’s 30 years as a journalist make

Pictured: John Grant Avey Bob Miller unveiling of the Star Grant continued: “Talk formats play-by-play sports and his unparalleled news and features he has received over 30 journalism awards for writing and reporting news as well as his expertise in sports show business the law economics political and the military” Bob Miller the voice of the Los Angeles Kings hockey team for over 30 years worked with Dan “When I joined the Kings Dan who had been there for a couple of years showed me the ropes” said Bob Bob told the story of the time the Kings owner Jack Kent Cooke called the broadcast pair into his office Cooke had just signed Datsun now Nissan to a long-term contract and insisted that Datsun be inserted into the play-by-play call in every game Cooke suggested “There’s Marcella Dionne scooting down the ice like a Datsun” Pictured: Johnny Grant presenting LA City Proclamation “I can’t imagine Mr Cooke ever saying that once let alone 80 times a year” Bob remembered telling his boss “Cooke went crazy He gave us three hours to figure out how we were going to do it Dan actually offered an idea that when the game starts you can say the Kings have scored ten seconds into the game…and the Dan would say Datsoon” Miller also told another story on Avey Dan sent an audtion package to KFI to get hired He had been working in Spokane “Dan got the rudest letter from the program director The letter consisted of this line: ‘It is obvious that your path and KFI’s will never cross’ It wasn’t too much longer than Dan was doing the color on the Kings broadcast and they were carried on – you guessed it – KFI He went on to work at KFI” Pictured: Gil Stratton Bob Miller Avey Randy Kerdoon Cindy Dole Jack Popejoy Dirck Morgan In conclusion Miller said “Dan you’ve been a

Beatles to John Wooden From the President of the United States to OJ Simpson and everybody in between Today is like the frosting on the cake I am so indebted to all of you I’ve worked with Some of my bosses really took a chance – Jhani Kaye Greg Tantum and Erik Braverman who worked for five months to get me to KABC” Dan concluded: “To all my colleagues friends and family it is great to have you all here You have enriched my life by being here” Sunday Nostalgia – 9 Years Ago Today Nearly 600 at Clear Channel Get Downsized April 29 2009 Another tough day of layoffs for close to 600 Clear Channel employees across the country The company is not providing any names of those who were let go on Tuesday though it appears programming and administrative were hardest hit The following list is pieced together from various sources: Steve Reisig – HR Director Al B Sure – KHHT HOT 923 abshot923gmailcom Rick Nuhn – KHHT PJ Butta – KHHT Ted Ziegenbusch – KOST tedziggyaolcom Brie Tennis – KOST lefromageverizonnet Christian Wheel – KBIG MY/fm christianwheelgmailcom DJ Ray Rhodes – KBIG RRhodes401aolcom Larry Davis – KBIG There were messages about dozens of behind-the-scenes administrative people being let go besides those on-air listed above Also included were weekenders and board ops If you were let go and would like your email address made available LARadio is very willing to publish it No CC cluster seemed spared yesterday Chris Carmichael at SDRadionet reports that at least a dozen Clear Channel employees were let go The Inland Empire CC cluster was also affected The severance package is the same as the one offered in January when 1850 lost their jobs Employees who worked for the company less than a year were given three months’ severance One to two years of service are offered six months while for those with Clear Channel for three years or more the severance package is nine months pay At the time of the January layoffs Mark Mays ceo of Clear Channel said “We enter 2009 as a solid company and in the most competitive position possible We have thought carefully and at some length about the steps we need to take as a company to succeed during this unprecedented downturn As a result we have eliminated approximately 1850 positions across Corporate Outdoor and Radio While a significant portion of these positions represent a realignment in our sales departments the positions span all departments and represent approximately 9 of the total Clear Channel Communications workforce Everyone in our investor group on the Board and in the executive leadership team remains bullish about the long-term growth prospects for Clear Channel We continue to believe that the Outdoor and Radio businesses offer excellent opportunities Some of the remaining Clear Channel employees were told that the company anticipated no further mass layoffs AllAccess reported: “A company-wide change announced in parallel is that after April 30th 401k matching would be suspended for this year It will however be retroactively restored if 90 of the 2009 budget goals are met for employees who continue to contribute to the 401k plan and are eligible” Yesterday afternoon Clear Channel president/ceo John Hogan wrote an internal memo to the staff: In January we took the first steps to adjust our business to the realities that all media companies face this year Those actions were in response to initial results of a thorough analysis of every part of our business The actions weren’t easy and were necessary to make sure we remain competitive this year and are in the best possible position once the economy begins to recover Today we completed the adjustments based on the final results of that analysis The introduction of technology brings tremendous efficiencies to every industry and also fundamentally changes the way business is done On a personal level one of the most difficult contradictions technology creates is that increased productivity effectively eliminates jobs The media industry is no different than any other business in this respect At the same time along with difficult choices we continue to make progress We have introduced and created a host of resources that help us: make better decisions serve our customers and audiences more effectively and lower our cost of doing business These resources are crucial to the future health and growth of Clear Channel Radio While we remain optimistic about our business economic conditions continue to be challenging It is up to all of us ‘from senior management to the front lines’ to continue to improve our competitive position We must deliver the highest value to our audiences and our advertisers while doing everything we can to help drive revenues We can all be proud that Clear Channel Radio outperformed all other radio companies in the first quarter this year It’s imperative that we remain focused on maintaining this lead as we hopefully move closer to a market recovery This is the time for creative thinking about better ways to engage our audiences This is the time to find new ways to bring more value to our marketing partners and advertisers This is the time to make smart decisions about resources costs and investments We see enormous long-term opportunity in our business if we continue to do the right things to make our company better and even more competitive I thank you for your hard work and dedication and look forward to working with you to realize that success John Hogan Email Saturday 42818 Condition of Scott St James “Omg Sorry for poor Scott St James Life can be so cruel” – Fred Wallin Gershan a Godsend “Thanks to Kevin Gershan for the update on Scott St James I’m a longtime follower of LARadio and longtime fan of Scott I never met Scott so a visit may not be appropriate But please pass on to him and his family that he touched many lives in his long career This touches me deeply as my father passed away on 7/28/16 of this terrible disease which can so cruelly rob one of their dignity Thank you for you have been doing as it’s a great blessing to Scott to have someone like you at his side” – Al Prado Appreciate of Update “Our hearts are with Scott

Wick to Gershan “I do not know Scott St James personally I am just one of his many fans I used to enjoy seeing him on television and I remember his blog His personality was larger than life and it

certainly fortunate to have friends like you in his life” – Mike Wick Where are The Sound Listeners “I am a longtime reader of LA Radio and your question of where listeners are going after The Sound went off the air was a really great article I will tell you this My wife and I are in our 50’s We used to listen to KMET KLOS and up to recently The Sound and since The Sound is off the air we have gravitated to 885 KCSN/KBSR Why The music We love all the eclectic stuff that 885 plays We get tired of the same 20 songs that KLOS plays now GNR’s Welcome to the Jungle comes to mind In fact this station is so good our 17-year-old daughter and her friends listen to it as well We don’t care for the promotions Never have never will Just play the music Old stuff we haven’t heard in ages Not the same 20 songs like Born to Run Old Time Rock and Roll Rock and Roll All Night etc “The Sound used to do that before they decided to mimic KLOS” – Ruben Gonzalez Lake Forest Hats Off to Larry “Thank you for the great look back at Larry Van Nuys – his twitter feed alone shows how relevant he still is! I remember not only Help Thy Neighbor but his work on the Arthritis Telethons with Jane Wyman Such a distinctive voice! His and the reliable coverage of earthquakes by KNX have always been been a source of comfort when those horrid things wake you up Many a time I’ve stayed up after my mom and sister have gone back to sleep and listened to the news anchors talk us through the hours after a shaker That’s why radio is still important When everything else is going wrong radio gets us through it” – Julie Byers More Hats Off to Larry “I loved the article about Larry Van Nuys He is part of the roster of talent with my company The Promo Guys promoguystv He is such an amazing talent whom I have much respect for And that voice!” – Craig Roberts Memories of Roger Collins “Great job on the remembrance article about my wonderful friend Roger Collins One doesn’t get to know a person like he was too often in their lifetime This one is going to sting for a very long time Thank you for taking the time to help me get through this Seeing it in print still doesn’t seem real” – Jeffrey Leonard Smooth Calming Voice “As a listener my memories of Roger Collins at KFI and Russ Carlton with news – when working out at the Simi drive-in swap meet Later at KUTE 102/Quiet Storm which I listened to frequently he did weekend mornings and if my memory serves me had a turn as morning drive for a bit A smooth calming voice I made an air check of Roger and Tom King from KUTE May ‘87” – Greg Wood Pitts Memory “Belatedly I recall working with Don Pitts in the late ‘80s when he was the ‘voice man’ at the Charles Stern Talent Agency A client Casey Kasem recommended me to be signed at Stern I was all set in 1989 to tutor with great game show announcer Jay Stewart Let’s Make a Deal when I learned that Jay had committed suicide Blam! Don was super but the Stern signing produced ‘zero’” – Larry McKay Last of Originators of American Top 40 Dies April 27 2018 Don Bustany died this week He was one of the last of the four original creators of the iconic American Top 40 “He was family to us and we got to spend time with him last weekend before he passed We got to talk and laugh and hug each other one last time” said Kerri Kasem daughter of Casey Kasem “Now he’s with his beloved wife Judy and my dad along with countless friends” He was 90 For those familiar with the recording of Casey’s outtakes from a recording session that have been widely circulated Don is forever immortalized in the phrase Get Don on the phone! Bustany had tv credits in addition to radio and shared Casey’s activism in support of the Arab community In the 1970s and ’80s Bustany was the camera coordinator and a director of The Bob Newhart Show and Mary Tyler Moore He also served as the technical coordinator on several other television programs Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars Great news from Michigan Art Vuolo radio’s best friend is the recipient of this year’s TALKERS Lifetime Achievement Award Well deserved With Art’s expertise a permanent exhibit on the history of the disc jockey is being prepared for museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago … Mary Beth Garber is now a published author “My first audiobook narration release is a heartfelt novel by Ann Meeropol Kinship of Clover It is available on Audible and Amazon … Fun tv news series on 1986 radio in Los Angeles Click radio link … Duane Eddy turned 80 this week Gads remember Rebel Rouser That twangy guitar was new to rock ’n’roll It came from Country … Good luck to Joel Denver for his AllAccess Worldwide Radio Summit 2018 next week Class guy makes class event!

Ridiculous and shameful for the industry” Sky proclaimed Criticism of the ratings industry is nothing new Unless you are 1 everyone seems to have concern over their accuracy “We have seen our online listening increase by 40” wrote Daniels “Social media postings reaching 2 million impressions and our current pledge drive is breaking all records including the week that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were playing our first benefit which made history in the radio annals” Sky knows firsthand the seduction of striving to be 1 “I know talking about ratings can always sound like sour grapes However having developed stations like the Loop where one out of every two Chicago teens apparently listened to my show my question back then was wondering what the other teens were listening to I too have been seduced by the nectar that is 1 in the ratings Non-comm offers hope to those who want a deeper less predictable radio experience Listeners deserve better radio” “Having a listener donate 100 in an ‘honor system’ is way more compelling than ‘cume’” continued Daniels “When it comes to ratings sadly very few broadcasters look at the big picture For example when KSCA jumped from 32 to FIRST with the morning host taking just FOUR meters and set them to “hear” his show Ironically did the industry collectively revolt that four meters could impact the LA book that dramatically No They focused on ‘he cheated’” The LA Times wrote: “Nielsen has been attempting to verify that individuals who participated in its sample audience panel were truly independent and did not have ties to any radio stations or radio personalities that were being measured The ratings agency said that it needed to ‘remove a household from the panel for not meeting our quality standards’ Radio industry insiders said such actions were unprecedented One person said the move marked the first time in more than a decade that the release of radio ratings in Los Angeles had been postponed due to such concerns” Mark Ramsey a leading audio thinker wrote: “One single household has this scale of impact In LA! So what’s really going on here”“The rumor in the radio industry is that this particular household had media ties and the usage recorded was significant enough to skew the overall ratings for the market” wrote Ramsey “Indeed how could it be otherwise Because if one household mattered so little to the overall results then why would Nielsen bother to hold back the ratings for the entire market in the first place The very withholding of the data implies that one household has the potential to skew the whole in a significant way” Ramsey went on: “Ponder that for a moment: One household in Los Angeles has the potential to meaningfully skew the ratings for America’s largest market! And if this one household can do that in LA then can’t any one household in any market do it any time What does this say about the validity of the metrics Why is one goofy household with outlandish listening habits be any more goofy than any other goofy household with outlandish listening simply because it is affiliated with a local media company” Turns out it was two households involved but still Meanwhile Sky will continue to champion new music by emerging musicians as well as veteran artists resulting in shout-outs from A-list rockers including Paul McCartney Ringo Starr Tom Petty Jackson Browne U2 and Bonnie Raitt Sting added his name to that list saluting “… the station’s format for providing much appreciated exposure to him and other musicians who have fallen out of favor with Top 40 and other commercial radio outlets” KJLH Ticket Giveaway Roger Collins Dies April 25 2018 Roger Collins veteran of KFI 1978-83 KUTE 1983-87 and KLIT 1989-90 passed away April 23 of colon cancer John Rook hired Roger at KFI as music director and assistant pd Roger was thrilled to be working with the All-Star staff that Rook had assembled Born Paul Lancaster in Winslow Arizona he started his radio career in 1963 in Winslow followed by jobs in Holbrook Arizona and Odessa Texas From 1971 until arriving in the Southland Roger worked in the Tucson market He was sports director of KGUN/TV pd of KTKT and KRQQ Roger was director of instruction at the Los Angeles Broadcasters School during much of the 80s He was also operations director of Breneman Radio Services and the Breneman Review After returning to Arizona Roger produced video workshops for school kids at Northern Arizona University and was a consultant to Native American education radio for the Navajo Nation He also programmed KAFF FM/AM KMGN/fm KVNA-FM/AM and KZGL/fm He went on to sales in Flagstaff“Roger had only been sick for a couple of months” emailed colleague Jeffrey Leonard “Roger called me back in late February to tell me that the cancer had just been discovered and he was getting treated He had an incredibly positive attitude having beaten prostate cancer 10 years ago The last text I received from him was on April 9th when he simply said ‘thanks for being a great friend’ All texts after that went unanswered Roger reminded me a lot of Mark Denis He was an extraordinarily spiritual person who never said anything bad about anyone ever Needless to say I am heartbroken Rest in peace Rog” Roger was among the couple of dozen or so pros who taught at Jimi Fox’s broadcast school Los Angeles Broadcasters aka The LAB remembered Randy West When I was hired Roger indoctrinated me to the format yes of course Jimi had it tightly formatted!

passing wrote Jeff Gehringer of the Astor Broadcast Group As a young radio intern with stars in his eyes in 1981 Roger would answer every question I had about the business Watching him work with the record promoters was a real education I’ll never forget when he heard a new record he loved he would start dancing in the office He loved radio and the amazing characters behind the mic This was the era of Biggie Nevins and master programmer John Rook He also started the KFI softball team We were not every good but the beer at Shakeys made up for it Thanks to Roger for fostering my love of broadcasting He was a class act Ladd is Back and the Tribe Was Waiting April 24 2018 For months Jim Ladd was missing from his Deep Tracks SiriusXM afternoon show but when he returned yesteray everyone

Oldie April 23 2018 Rich Brother Robbin has been a friend since 1966 We share a love for Oldies music the kind of music made popular in the 50s and 60s We had the first full-time 24/7 live Oldies station in the country in Detroit at W4 in 1969 After his run on CHR/Oldies ran out he started his own radio station on the Internet at RichBroRadiocom We were talking about music recently when Rich posed a question that may be of fodder for you For those of you who still love Sam Cooke Fats Domino and Chuck Berry at what point in history did music change to something that doesn’t “fit” with what we know as “hardcore Oldies” When is a song no longer a legit Oldie something different than the stuff from the 70s “When / what is the general year / years when most of the songs changed enough to sonically stop fitting with the older stuff” asked Rich I came up with my own answer but thought I would share it after others have had an opportunity to also do so What do you think Don’t forget our email address has changed to: AvilaBeachdbgmailcom Nostalgia Sunday – 9 Years Ago Today Hats Off to Larry April 22 2009 You’d think Southern Californians would be used to earthquakes yet when the ground starts shaking many wary residents call in to their local radio stations perhaps as a catharsis to the unexpected Recently a listener to KNX could hear callers describe the latest seismic event whether it was a sharp jolt a brief rolling motion and for what duration But then there was something more The anchor briefly chatted with each caller – did anything fell off the kitchen shelves at the caller’s home Any jittery nerves from the aftershocks Was the caller a long-time local resident or was it a first experience with an earthquake Have a home emergency kit prepared It was just like talking to a caring neighbor only it was being broadcast on a 50000 watt radio station Then again when the news anchor once hosted a tv program called Help Thy Neighbor offering a personal touch to his listeners should be second nature for Larry Van Nuys When last interviewed by LARadiocom back in 1998 Larry said he’d decided to leave radio because of the precariousness of ongoing format changes “After a many years in radio and television I made the successful transition to a very lucrative career as a voice talent every day doing promos commercials and trailers much of it out of my home studio” said Larry There was really no pressing reason for him to return to radio Yet there was something missing “After ten or so years I missed the interaction with friends and co-workers I had been doing some fill-in news anchoring at Arrow 93 in morning drive When it made the switch to JACK/fm I called Ed Pyle KNX news director and told him I missed the excitement and challenges of radio He was so kind and generous and invited me to audition” Larry got the job as a weekend and fill-in anchor on the all-news station “In hiring me Ed gave me the opportunity to enter one of the most productive and satisfying chapters in this road many of us travel It has reawakened all the feelings of excitement that brought me into broadcasting in the first place” Larry also thanked former KNX gm David G Hall who put Larry in his current 7 pm to midnight news anchor duties each weeknight “Although it sounds cliché I wake up in the morning now and can’t wait to get to work It reminded me that what we do is meaningful…and fun!” Born in Providence Rhode Island Larry later moved to the Southland where he attended Los Angeles High School He recalls how important radio was from his earliest years “Radio was always a big part of my life As a youngster I listened to all the radio serial shows I remember sending away for a decoder ring so I could decode secret messages I waited for what seemed like months and then the excitement of going to the mailbox and seeing that little package … sitting there saying ‘OK big guy…now you’re in the in-crowd!’” Then it was Chuck Blore and KFWB Channel 98 on Larry’s radio dial “I always treasure the fact that later in life I actually got a chance to be directed for some spots by the architect of Color Radio Chuck Blore Larry also listened to KHJ as “Boss Radio and all the other iterations of modern radio flowed out of all our speakers day and night as I grew up” How did Larry first get interested in pursuing his own radio career “While the other kids were playing baseball I was playing dj using a wooden spoon for my microphone I actually ripped off all the labels of my mother’s canned food and pretended they were earphones For months she never knew what she was opening for dinner … she still kids me about that” Eventually Larry’s parents purchased him a Webcor tape recorder “and I was off to the races” His first job was at Saul Levine’s fm jazz station KBCA “I’ll always be grateful to Saul who gave me my first chance to do what I always dreamed of” Back then Larry’s audience was a bit limited “To even hear fm you had to have a special under-dash radio or if you really had some bucks you had a Blaupunkt installed in your car We didn’t have a lot of listeners or commercials … but I was finally a dj! My dear grandparents who would really be more comfortable with Montovani listened every night because they loved and were proud of me They could tell you the difference between Thelonius Monk and Chet Baker…bless their souls” Larry’s grandparents listened to their grandson at every opportunity “too bad we didn’t have the PPM’s in those years” Larry then traveled to KXO in El Centro doing just about everything at the station from powering up the transmitter to helping with janitorial duties “One of the proudest tasks I was assigned at KXO was to bring in the Richfield Reporter on Sunday nights which was fed from KNX in Los Angeles It was so exciting to be involved with a major market giant like that I never dreamed that I would ever get to actually work there What a trip it is to even remember the awe I felt and still feel for the station” One of Larry’s first stops in Los Angeles was KGFJ “I worked there with Hunter Hancock Rosko Bill Mercer and Larry McCormick et al On the day I auditioned I went into the studio to cut a demo and when I came out no one was around I found everyone gathered around a tv in a back office I asked what’s going on ‘Someone said the President’s been shot’ I actually remember saying ‘the President of what’ That was the day JFK was shot and killed I guess this falls into ‘Everyone remembers where they were that day’” Though Larry worked at other local stations including powerhouses such as KFI KMPC and KABC he is often best remembered from his days as the midday host on San Fernando’s KGIL “It was the best of times…this little low power teapot in the Valley was actually competing with the big 50000 watt giant KMPC In those days we chose our own music” KGIL did what it could to make itself visible “I sat in a broadcast trailer on the weekends doing remotes I think I opened every Taco Bell in the Valley One remote that still makes me smile is when I MC’d the opening of a new traffic light in Encino But I loved it!” The station also invited listeners to vicariously share with the KGIL family LA Times ad promoting Larry in the late 1960s “We did live reports from our wedding I did a remote from the hospital when my daughter was born I put together a one hour montage of music to reflect how happy I felt that day and the listeners were part of it” Larry’s colleagues at KGIL include many renowned personalities: “Sweet” Dick Whittington Tom Brown Wink Martindale and Paul Compton “all led brilliantly by Chuck Southcott” Larry fondly remembers when Paul Compton would offer the lyrical intro “we’re coming to the intersection of Compton and Van Nuys… Paul was an amazing and poetic man of great depth and character which came across on the air” “Larry had a great sense of the music His sense of the music was amazing Larry did some long shifts when he first started at KGIL doing 8-hour weekend and fill-ins yet he did a great job orchestrating his program over all that time” said Chuck Southcott Larry’s former colleague and program director Chuck chuckled as he told the story of the Studio City Christmas Parade for which Larry and Chuck served as emcees from an announcing booth “It was a terribly rainy day The grand marshal was Andy Griffith we went out with a mic and had him greet the crowd Then there were a number of female stars who were headed for the Queen Mary Larry went out in the street – in a pair of Gucci shoes – and talked to Carol Channing about what she was doing now a little bit about her career Why does Chuck always bring up the Guccis mused Larry There were other stars then Judy Garland appears Wait a minute we thought – Judy Garland is dead Turns out these starlets we interviewed were men dressed up as women female impersonators heading for a nightclub called the ‘Queen Mary’ not the ship in Long Beach It was a very strange night I shared with Larry” Of Larry’s current work Chuck said “he’s the best sounding news guy in town … he’s great on KNX” This series was researched and written by LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda In part 2 of “Hats off to Larry” more tales from KGIL including the recollections of Dick Whittington Larry’s tv work including – of course – Help

Van Nuys has been a familiar face on tv for decades and now evening anchor at KNX Newsradio LARadiocom senior correspondent Alan Oda talks with Larry about his career This is part two of our series Hats Off to Larry “Larry contributed many musically perfect shows at KGIL” said Dick Whittington Of Larry’s on-air persona “he’s was what Dr Phil would like to be Larry did it first on Channel 5 for many years” And Dick still tunes in to hear his former KGIL teammate “When Larry reads the news on KNX no matter how dire I always smile and say to myself: ‘Oh that couldn’t be happening that’s just ol’ ‘Lar’ going for another Edward R Murrow award” Van Nuys holding award from Arthritis organization for his two decade dedication in hosting annual telethon For his part Larry has his own story about the man once known as ‘Sweet Dick’ “He was finishing up his shift and called my wife Marsha and made it sound as though the call accidentally got on the air and said ‘well the jerk is going to be on the air for 5 hours so I’ll be over in about 20 minutes is there anything you want me to bring’ Marsha said without missing a beat ‘Kleenex’ Bill Smith late of KTLA who used to work with Dick in the morning still tells that story” Larry was also prominent on that other medium known as television “I had the good fortune to work at KTLA when Gene Autry owned it Given his stature and prominence globally it was amazing to watch him take the time to know everyone’s name on the lot and foster an environment that encouraged creative people to be their best” He recalls his days hosting the tv show Help Thy Neighbor “It was a live show that aired at 7:30 pm every night following Bowling for Dollars with Chick Hearn It was a show where people who needed some help would appear and the audience would call in with solutions It was live on the air I couldn’t possibly share all the amazing and emotional stories that played out on the air We found solutions for everything from people who needed a kidney to finding work for an unemployed elephant … I kid you not!” The show received national attention in publications including Newsweek Readers Digest and TV Guide as well as winning “a wheel barrow full” of prestigious awards Larry takes pleasure recalling his charity work during his years at KTLA “I co-hosted the national Arthritis Telethon for over 20 years often originating from the KTLA studios but also from other locales nationwide I would love to think that some of our efforts funded research that eased suffering or passed on information that alerted people of warning signs that helped them avoid years of chronic pain” His efforts on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation gave him the opportunity to work with many celebrities including the late Mayor of Hollywood Johnny Grant “One of the proudest moments for me was to be honored with the Arthritis Foundation’s Johnny Grant Humanitarian Award” said Larry Photo from mid-80s: Participants in early Arthritis Telethon include Victoria Principal Jane Wyman Larry and Marsha Van Nuys “I also hosted the forerunner to Wheel of Fortune called Guessword It was the same game Hangman but without the wheel and Vanna Also we didn’t give away trips to Europe or shiny new automobiles … it was more like dog food and hand towels It did however have the distinction of being maybe the only live game show in history” Larry would later become the voice of KTLA which led to other voiceover opportunities His game show hosting talents weren’t later wasted “Hosting Guessword helped me immensely when Dan Enright asked me to do the announcing for shows like Tic Tac Dough From there my skills grew and I found a whole new venue for my talent when Mike McLean an associate of Aaron Spelling hired me to voice his shows during the years he spent with ABC…Dynasty…The Love Boat…et al” But his voiceover career all started at KTLA “I will be forever grateful to Tony Cassara the gm of Channel 5 at the time He became the President of the Paramount Stations Group and opened up a whole new world of voiceover opportunities for me” Still it’s clear that Larry’s heart is still found behind a radio microphone “Radio is immediate intimate and ultimately a one on one relationship between you and someone who’s stuck in traffic at the workplace or streaming on the Internet in Timbuktu … it’s just the two of you” He describes the challenges of working at KNX “In News Radio it’s also vital and important work when people are concerned or fearful during an earthquake fire or an emergency when accurate information can be the difference between life and death I can’t begin to tell you how gratifying it feels to play a small but important part in that effort” Larry knows the challenges of providing information 24 hours a day Photo: An 11-year-old Larry Van Nuys as the ‘Borden’s Milkman’ with Kathy Godfrey sister of Arthur Godfrey KPHO-Phoenix “With the fast moving changing events around the world people have a hunger for news and all of us at KNX take that responsibility very seriously All the other broadcast disciplines are seductive in their own ways but they all have one thing in common – they are all about communicating they’re all about trying to identify your own truth and connecting with the people who are spending their valuable time with you” Hats Off to Larry Part 3 This morning is the final installment of our series on KNX Newsradio’s Larry Van Nuys This series was researched and written by Alan Oda LARadiocom senior correspondent Larry’s current boss KNX / KFWB director of news programming Andy Ludlum describes what Larry brings to the all-News operation: Larry is a warm and authentic communicator and I think that really comes through every time he turns on his mic There’s no question Larry truly enjoys being on the radio and the KNX 1070 Newsradio audience loves listening to him Would you like to see Larry delivering the news Here’s a 3-minute YouTube link: And it’s apparent that Larry is one veteran not content to sit on his laurels “My challenge is keeping it fresh and honest To make something that’s difficult look effortless It has taken me a lifetime to find my own voice in this business…and I’m still learning” He relates how he brings his experience honed on music formats to his all-news anchor duties at KNX “I think the trust that an audience has with you is a key element in the success of any broadcaster It takes years for an audience to really get to know you feel like a friend and for that trust to develop Also no matter what kind of radio you’re doing there needs to be an entertainment component Even with news I think your unique personality is a big part of the product and has a bearing on its ultimate success” Larry speaks with great appreciation and pride about his family “Much of my success can be linked to my wonderful family My wife Marsha has not only been my partner for 40 years but my number one groupie pal and lover She has been a fan from the very beginning and always been there to watch my back in the good times and the lean times I’m also so proud of my daughter Amanda She has taken her Vassar education and blossomed into a truly amazing young woman As I’ve told her if there is such a thing as reincarnation I would love to come back as one of her children She is now a marketing executive at a major company in the Internet space” Larry Van Nuys eating crow after losing a 1980 Super Bowl bet with a Pittsburgh radio station The Rams lost to the Steelers 31 – 19 Larry humbly acknowledges his blessings from his on-air journey “We are all influenced by those who came before us For me Johnny Magnus was my hero…I wanted to be that great someday It still shocks me that I’ve had so many opportunities to know and work with some of the iconic figures in our business Sitting in for Ken amp Bob at KABC … Dick Whittinghill and Robert W Morgan at KMPC … following Lohman and Barkley at KFI These are the people I grew up admiring These are the people that remind me that excellence isn’t achieved without hard work and a love and respect for the audience Again how wonderful it is when you get to do what you love … I still have the passion” You can reach Larry at: larryvngmailcom Email Saturday 42118 Times Moving “Great seeing the photo of Bob McCormick on today’s page He’s a guy I miss encountering at the station back in the day… and a couple times at Flair Cleaners in Burbank Hard to believe ‘back in the day’ is 12 years ago already” – Ed Pyle Hayes Played a Role “Thank you for reprinting the Johnny Hayes story Growing up I shared many of the same thoughts and excitement about radio that Johnny enjoyed to the point that I became a huge fan of KYA living in Palo Alto I wanted to attend college in SoCal partially because of the radio business Dreams became reality when Johnny gave me my first job in life at the wondrous KRLA in 1968! What a life experience My business path was set thanks to him” – Ann Beebe Remembering Johnny Hayes “Thank you for the LARadiocom Nostalgia Sunday piece on Johnny Hayes I wasn’t a regular KRLA listener during my younger days in the West Valley — KMPC was our regular station during my most impressionable listening years — but when listening alone with the dial at arm’s length I’ve rarely been able resist the impulse to tune the dial to see what else is on There are many ways for a radio station to capture my ears but among the rarest is the voice that I could just sit and listen to regardless of what he or she is saying The voice of Johnny Hayes was one of those voices as they say what a great set of pipes As a radio listener I would sometimes fantasize being a program director There were three disc jockeys I wanted for my imaginary station: Johnny Magnus Chuck Niles and Johnny Hayes each playing whatever he wanted as long as he talked between each record I’m glad to read more about the man with that voice And since I’m writing over the years I’ve really enjoyed LARadiocom which my dad from whom I must have received a radio-listener gene will still bring up pretty regularly when I speak with my folks of the phone Growing up we almost always had the radio on — Bob Crane Arthur Godfrey Denny Bracken etc – on KNX when I was a young boy I got my first radio around the 3rd grade first listening to KFI I think KNX was all-News by then I switched to KMPC not long after Lohman and Barkley came about — hey I was 9! — so I came of age with Dick Whittinghill Geoff Edwards Gary Owens Roger Carroll the news and sports crew and the Angels Yet as I said above I turn the dial a lot even as a 3-year-old quietly taking my ‘nap’ after watching Sheriff John in the den — it was really mom’s nap time — I would turn that dial to catch KFWB Channel 98 or the Spanish announcers and music on KWKW putting it back to KNX when nap time was over And I always read the radio columns in the papers Citizen-News Herald-Examiner the Times Calendar section So many of those names especially from the morning shift before school or work or the weekends of the non-commercial FM stations of various formats from the ‘60s 70s and ‘80s both AM and FM are part of my radio memories of the first half of my life living in LA So I thank you for sharing your labor of love with all of us” – Ad astra Reverend Steven P Tibbetts born in Hollywood playing in Peoria Lunch with Johnny Hayes “In-N-Out Burgers sponsored the Johnny Hayes Count Down on KRLA from the very start I can’t remember the number of years it lasted He did an outstanding job ad-libbing all the commercials never once off a prepared script Before the program went on the air we met with then In-N-Out president Rich Snyder later killed in a plane crash at John Wayne Airport who gave us a tour of the entire company followed by lunch in the back of one of the restaurants only drive thrus in those days You could listen to the show while you waited for your order in the car” – Tom Bernstein Memories of Art Bell “Art Bell and I were friends for almost 50 years and I am more than saddened by his death When we met I was stationed at Vandenberg AFB and Art recently out of the Air Force was a jock at KSEE in Santa Maria The first time we talked was of course over ham radio The last time we spoke at his house in Pahrump was predictably also a lot about ham radio Besides working together for a time at KDON in Salinas Art and I didn’t actually spend a lot of time together over those 50 years but we always kept in touch over the phone email or ham radio My wife Sheryl and I had made plans to stay with Art and his wife during our trip to Southeast Asia a few years ago when he was living in the Philippines but the timing didn’t work out as they were moving back to Pahrump about that time Art was not only a one-of-a-kind broadcaster but also a one-of-a-kind human being The person you heard on the air was not who Art was His show was just that Space ships ghosts and the paranormal were not part of his normal conversations That was reserved for his on-air persona You had to know him to see the silly compassionate overly-bright and animated person he was Art my friend I’m sure going to miss you” – Jerry Lewine The Art of 91X “George Junak a former co-worker of mine from my days at 91X in San Diego says Art Bell did a weekend show on 91X in 1979 using the air name Art Trey That’s something I have never heard before or seen in print anywhere According to George Junak Art Bell asked then consultant Frank Felix if he could use the name Trey Bell on the all-Music format but Felix told him no They settled instead for Art Trey Junak says he even has an old air check of Art’s show on 91X from 10/27/79 I didn’t join the 91X/Mighty 690 family for mornings and programming until January of 1980 So apparently we just missed each other I don’t recall ever hearing that Art Bell was a music host before his start in talk radio So this all seems rather mysterious” – Ted Ziegenbusch KOST 1035 Memories of Art Bell “Back in the late 80s I had a friend who lived in Las Vegas and he would tell me about this late-night radio personality Art Bell He told me he was on KDWN a 50000 watt clear channel station so I could probably hear it in Los Angeles I think this was the pre-syndication days as the show was more political in nature had a hometown feel but still touched upon the UFO stuff from time to time If the weather was clear I could pick the station up just fine and would listen to various guests telling their tales of alien abduction throughout the wee hours of the morning At that time Art was playing some interesting bumper music and a few tunes came to mind that I thought he would like I put them on a cassette on my next visit to see my friend we wandered up to the Union Plaza Hotel which was the home of KDWN and made our way up the stairs to the studio We were told Art hadn’t arrived yet which surprised us because it was pretty close to airtime but the receptionists said she would give him the cassette so we headed out the door On our way back downstairs we passed Art rushing up to the studio He was real We saw him! Back at my friend’s house we were drinking beer and listening to the radio Unbeknownst to me he dialed the station in hopes of talking to Art After a while he had to relieve himself so he tossed me the phone and said ‘hang on to this for a second’ Before heading to the john he cranked up the volume as far as it would go I sat there holding the receiver to my ear and with the radio blasting I think I barely hear someone say ‘you’re on the air’ I said ‘I’m sorry what’ and then Art went ballistic shouting ‘HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU PEOPLE TO TURN DOWN YOUR RADIOS!!’ Then I heard the phone go CLICK and he hung up Seven seconds later my friend exists the bathroom to hear Art shouting at me over the air and he yells at me ‘I was on hold for 45 minutes and the second I go to the bathroom he takes my call’ Several years later I was listening in LA and heard my friend on the air with Art so at least he finally got through Oh and about those songs I dropped off for bumper-music one was by violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and the other by a group named Shadowfax Art used them for years on the air” – Gary Gibson Montrose Is KLOS Sound “I note that even with EMF removing 1003 as a competitor KLOS’ ratings are flat In my not-so-humble opinion this should be sending a message to Cumulus that they aren’t doing Classic Rock properly for the market Their ‘brand’ of the format apparently appeals to zero percent of The Sound’s former audience I bet they’re all listening to Sky Daniels’ well-executed AAA format on KCSN” – KM Richards Radio Ink Article Praising KABC PD “Good job Drew Hayes! While KFI saw a ratings bump in March to 42 you have been successful in keeping KABC on a steady course in 37th place with 05 It must not be easy maintaining that coveted 37th place spot but somehow you have managed to do it Could it be the ‘compelling’ programming such as evening reruns of morning shows during the week Or is it the weekends packed with infomercials while KFI has actual weekend hosts that do real radio shows like Bill Handel The Fork Report Leo Laporte Mo Kelly Bryan Suits Dr Wendy Walshand the list goes on But don’t let KFI’s success distract you from your focus on remaining 37 It’s good to be goal oriented like that I have been so stupid and I apologize Now I realize why you run so many retirement seminar commercials It’s symbolic for the number of listeners that have chosen to ‘retire’ from listening to KABC By the way I don’t know if you ever listen to your own station but Dr Drew and Lauren Sivan have ZERO on-air chemistry and Ms Sivan seems disengaged from the show a good portion of the time I’m sure she’s a very nice very intelligent person but she certainly doesn’t pair well with Dr Drew And I’m sure I’m not the first person you’ve heard that from Don’t forget to have some promotional T-Shirts produced that say ‘We’re Number 37!’ Say it loud — say it proud!” – Peter Thomas Paraquat Kelley Sets Up GoFundMe Account for His Wife April 20 2018 Carl Swanson checked in from Washington DC where he is an engineer for the Voice of America Carl used to work at WW1 KFI KMPC and KCRW “This may be more appropriate for Email Saturday but have you heard anything new from Pat Paraquat Kelley and his wife” asked Carl “I saw and contributed to his notcrippledinside campaign and saw a few posts but now he’s gone quiet The announcement you published about his total disability and the back link to his initial diagnosis 12 years prior shared the sh!t out of me because I was given the same diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis 14 months ago after a series of 6 seizures in 4 months one of which landed me in the hospital for more than a week and off work for almost a year “It’s frightening to think I’m probably riding the same train he is but I am really wanting to know if he’s still fighting the good fight” emailed Carl “Thanks to a good federal employee health plan I have drugs that hopefully slow progression and I don’t need to pay 89000/year for it” In reaching out to Paraquat he responded immediately and the timing could not have been better because a GoFundMe account has just been established “Carl’s lucky he has relapsing remitting MS I have progressive MS the worst and rarest form It’s a drag for sure but I have Melody to help me through The GoFundMe account is to help her so that when I’m gone she’ll have something to help her” Carl passed on a message to Paraquat: “Tell him there’s one brother in the struggle pulling for him” Hear Ache April 19 2018 Former KNX/KFWBer Bob McCormick was visiting his parents in Detroit this week Take a look at the snow on the patio of his parents’ home Bob is reading Charlie Seraphin’s ex-general manager at KNXfm/KODJ book One Stupid Mistake “Short and full of great stories of how one false move or word and your goose could be hooked” said Bob … Congratulations to former KTWV personality Sandy Kelley as she celebrates 19 years of marriage … Forbes magazine has a story on how to turn iHeartMedia around with sage advice to the new owners The first piece of advice is to bring in real radio people to run the company It needs smart experienced radio people at the controls Get rid of the financial whizz-bangers who leveraged the company up to its eyeballs in debt and brought about its collapse Lesson learned Another suggestion: Do radio just radio and do it right Done right radio alone can be very profitable Sell off the other businesses that don’t directly support radio such as Clear Channel Outdoor Those businesses were acquired and at huge cost with the idea of creating cross-media synergies Bad idea bad execution loads of problems best forgotten Program for listeners only listeners Early radio had the right idea Entertain your listeners … Nicole Sandler saw her oncologist and got the good news that her scans are clean “Cancer free” are nice words to hear … NBC’s The Voice was No 1 for Monday night besting ABC’s American Idol by 31 in 18-49 Jim Ladd Returns on Monday April 18 2018 “The Jim Ladd Show returns from High in the Hollywood Hills” was how Jim announced on Facebook his Monday return to SiriusXM Deep Tracks Channel 27 He had been absent from the satellite service for a number of weeks “Let’s Get Loud!

original host of “Coast to Coast AM” heard locally on KFI had died on Friday the 13th He was 72 No matter what you might have thought about what Art talked about – and that included the paranormal abstract conspiracies and the world of UFOs – Art was a radio original Broadcasting from a double-wide trailer in the Nevada desert for more than two decades Art talked to his listeners in the middle of the night about their stories of alien abductions crop circles anthrax scares and as he put it all things “seen at the edge of vision” While serving in the US Air Force in the Vietnam War Art indulged his childhood passion for radio by operating a pirate station that played anti-war music otherwise unavailable on official channels broadcast to American servicemen Following his time in the service Art’s love of radio led him to working as a disc jockey for an English-language station in Japan Over there he set a Guinness World Record for broadcasting some 116 hours straight to raise funds to rescue over 100 Vietnamese orphans left stranded by the conflict in their home country Back in the states Art started his radio journey doing overnights on KDWN in Las Vegas Syndicated nationally in 1993 Coast to Coast AM became a phenomenon He frequently would end up on the yearly list of Best LARP Art drew an audience of about 10 million listeners a week when his show was syndicated on as many as 500 stations He believed in possibilities and he loved the idea that his openness to paranormal events had helped build the nation’s appetite for Twin Peaks The X-Files and other expressions of the edges of reality Born June 17 1945 in Jacksonville NC Art grew up with a seven-transistor AM radio tucked under his pillow at night When he was supposed to be sleeping Art listened instead to the pioneers of talk radio as they batted around alternative ideas about who really killed John F Kennedy or how the CIA controlled people’s minds His nightly “Coast to Coast” show ran from 1989 to 2003 then he continued broadcasting on weekends until 2007 Art briefly returned with a satellite radio show in 2013 and an online program in 2015 That show ended after a few months because Mr Bell said someone had taken to firing a weapon at his Nevada property Art was married four times At the time of his death he was married to Airyn Ruiz whom he met when she befriended him online after the death of his previous wife Ruiz was then 22 and living in the Philippines Bell was inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 2006 and the National Radio Hall

| So how is America being corrupted by the like acts and manner of Eve and Adam Just as the Garden was corrupted first by Eve eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then gave the fruit to the man Adam who ate of it so the wholly corrupting effects of the Women’s Rights Movement was ordered by women and men then ate from it as well That which has been is that which will be and just as the Garden was corrupted so has our nation been corrupted Let’s take a look back in history and note the departure of America from vital masculine headship And what we will address here is our nation’s functionality in governing But before we do so let me note in advance that what I will share here is in regard to women who embrace feminism as a right of passage for all women to be like or equal to the man in any and all aspects Gratefully however not all women fall prey to Satan’s deception concerning feminism and seek instead to be godly wives and mothers And some women are completely unaware of the disaster that is at hand in this departure So what I am doing here is addressing the wholly destructive problem though mindful that among women there is equally a remnant daughters of Sarah 1 Peter 3:5-6 who see this grave ill and rejoice that it is being exposed To you ladies we are most grateful for you and rejoice and delight in your godly example May you be greatly rewarded Prior to the Curse of 1920 when women obtained the right to vote the conflict of the two-party system has always been competitive But in my assessment of history by and large the two parties have worked together for the good of the country This has been evident in the earlier years of my own observation in life But in recent years the divide between the two parties has become greater and greater and specifically because of the radicalization of the Democratic Party And most important to understand just as in the Garden there was male and female so in American politics these same two identities exist Without question the Republicans are masculine and the Democrats are feminine Again this is the design and ways of Yahweh His governmental order being evidenced in the beginning in the Garden So what do we see in the Garden of American politics today In 1 Timothy 2:14 we clearly see what is taking place We read: “And it was not Adam who was deceived but the woman being thoroughly deceived fell into transgression” This is exactly what we are seeing today in our American political system regarding masculine Republicans and feminine Democrats And let me point out just as the ills of feminism are ignored so it is with the translation of this verse Most translations dismiss the actual translation of this word “deceived” In actuality the preposition with which the Greek verb is compounded conveys the idea of completeness or thoroughness Thus Eve was completely and thoroughly deceived but Adam was not deceived And such it is in America It is completely and thoroughly deceived regarding the great error of feminism—the woman eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil So do you really want women in government in a nation that represents the kingdom of heaven at the nations level Guaranteed there will be the same results—complete and thorough deception leading to the loss of the Garden! But sadly as in the Garden this was to be—and so are the like consequences! And those destructive and deceptive consequences are never more evident than today Today Democrats are blindly opposed to that which is good simply for the preservation of one thing—power! And with unbounded lies and deceit they along with the complicity of the media vigilantly seek to keep their power And consistent with the feminine they run on emotions and not facts or truth Unfortunately the weed of feminism that took root in the Curse of 1920 has come to full bloom! But also it seems that Yahweh God is bringing front and center this rebellion and is hopefully about to judge it! It is most fitting and revealing that the last election was between a man’s man and a woman’s woman Donald Trump is distinctly masculine and Hillary Clinton is distinctly deceptive and power-driven feminine She is a Jezebel and will do anything to get her way The election was a Jehu and Jezebel contest and Jehu won Again this is masculine against feminine—whether it be Trump and Hillary or the man and the woman So why is this set up this way at this time If I am right in discerning the time this contest at the nations level is a testimony of what is upon us regarding the contest within the kingdom of God—again the masculine and the feminine Women today are in truth trying to take the “kingdom” by force Instead of occupying their place as wives and mothers they want to stand in the place of the man—in work in governance in practices and in appearance Like the angels in Jude 1:6 women have not kept their own domain “but abandoned their proper abode” For the first time in history women are wholesale seeking to be like the man and rule They want equality And not only will they fail but as in the Garden their efforts are entirely destructive! And shamefully the man like Adam is taking the fruit from the woman’s hand and eating it as well Shame on men for doing so! “Because you have listened to the voice of your woman …” Shame on you men! And let us look at this relative to the Kingdom At the nations level women actually want to be the fulfillment of the Bride Unknowingly natural man seeks to fulfill what the kingdom of heaven alone can fulfill encompassing all of the factors of the heavenly goal but at the natural realm It is man trying to build his own tower of Babel that reaches up to heaven and he will get the same outcome—destruction! To help you understand this man established the United Nations But do they really unite all nations Of course not falling far short of the fulfillment that can only come from Immanuel Another example is the matter of the Bride who will rule and reign with Immanuel As addressed already women abandon their place as wives and mothers and seek the place of the man including wearing his pants and therein all they do is corrupt the nation with their lawless acts Yahweh is letting man demonstrate in so many ways that natural man cannot fulfill all that he needs but to the contrary he takes himself to death! The natural man is always an utter failure in the end and is desperate for a deliverer and Savior! Let us further address this matter of politics—which is in vivid display right now Highly significant Yahweh declared to the man Adam “Because you have listened to the voice of your woman” and then He cursed him Well it can equally be said today “Because you have listened to the voice of the Democrats …” Republicans you have been henpecked for so many many years that you have been shamefully useless But finally Yahweh sent a real man who does not yield to the weaker feminine nature and you are seeing how a real and masculine Republican Party should be You are the head and you need to act like it and take your place as the head and work for the good of the people You need to quit listening to the voice of the woman the Democrats What is happening today in American politics is a most pathetic display of the spirit of feminism If you want to know what the spirit of feminism is look at how Dems in Washington DC senselessly react purely out of emotions in order to support a cause that is based purely on a power struggle It is the same as a woman rebelling against her husband or a man rebelling against God Dems are feminized and want to rule at all costs Thus their goal is not for the good of all what is best for the people or the country but rather is based solely upon maintaining power It is pure feminine emotions and not masculine logic and justice and governmental order And evidencing this corruption being rooted in Satan all the more is their commitment to lying and deception and to lawlessness Their actions are truly despicable! The feminine Democrats today and their followers are no less than what is written: “It is better to live in a corner of a roof than in a house or a Senate shared with a contentious woman … It is better to live in a desert land than with a contentious and vexing woman” Proverbs 21:9 and 19 The masculine nature is mind will and emotions But the feminine nature is a mirror image of the masculine and operates on emotions will and mind But even more than this the man the masculine is to be the head of the woman the feminine I know this flies in the face of a feminized society but this is indeed God’s will from the beginning And if you look at the way our nation was at its founding and even up to 1900 you will see exactly the way it should be—women were not a part of governing It is the way of Yahweh and man has corrupted this divine order The way Yahweh designed the man in relation to the woman is the same way He designed His relationship to the man The clear reality of this is succinctly seen in 1 Corinthians 11:3: “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man and the man is the head of woman and God is the head of Christ” How much clearer could this vital truth be stated But man today totally ignores this thinking himself wiser than God It may be politically and socially correct to alter this but in fact it is rebellion against God and His fixed ways And again this is true with the feminine Democrats and the masculine Republicans | 1 |

| I find it interesting that our Trumpets begins on the 5th then on the 6th begins the Hebrew Tabernacles which is completed on the 13th then on the 14th is our Atonement Do you see that the Hebrew’s Tabernacles is snugly fixed precisely between our Trumpets and Atonement And of course the 8th day of Tabernacles is the very day when Yahshua stood in the Temple and declared: “If anyone is thirsty let him come to Me and drink He who believes in Me as the Scripture said ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water’” Then it adds “But this He spoke of the Spirit whom those who believed in Him were to receive for the Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified” John 7:37-39 This is our hope today With Yahshua’s crucifixion on Passover and the former rain of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost these two feasts are already fulfilled But the feast of Tabernacles is indeed the feast that is yet to be fulfilled Yahweh has proven that He operates off of His feasts so there is every reason to watch for something at this time And to add to this the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon those gathered in the house of Cornelius “just as it did upon them at the beginning” Acts 11:15 needs to be fulfilled today This “at the beginning” passage was clearly in reference to the former rain on the day of Pentecost And “Cornelius” means “trumpet” Therefore this is the outpouring we MUST have today! Without it there will be no coming of Immanuel The former rain marked the beginning of the church and more specifically it is the Bride work of the first Remnant This first rain was the “shemen” the oil of the Holy Spirit which impregnated the Leah Bride and brought forth the Body of Christ Today we MUST likewise have the like outpouring of the Spirit the shemen Why So that the beloved Rachel Bride can now be impregnated and only then “birth” Immanuel back to this earth Do you see this It is the only way for the Bride to be able to prepare the way for the triumphal coming of the King of kings The masculine Body of Christ cannot effect this As a male Adam work it too must be put to sleep its side must be opened a rib must be taken out and from it the Bride is formed! “That which has been is that which will be!” We must have this fulfillment! Otherwise it will be “My God my God why have You forsaken us” Now for more information this time relative to my own life On the Remnant Bride podcast page there are three podcasts titled “23—23—23” There you will learn that my life has thus far been ordered in three segments of time based on twenty-three years each And each segment thus far has been concluded by a life-changing event! I was born in 1948 and twenty-three years later my life was dramatically transformed when I began my walk with Yahshua Then twenty-three years later in 1994 I was once again dramatically transformed when the Father revealed to me the essential truth of the Bride that must come out of the sleeping Body of Christ And today in 2017 twenty-three years later now for a total of sixty-nine years I must I MUST have yet a third and final fulfillment! And with everything now coming down to this Tabernacles feast period I have little hope for it beyond that Let me tell you a like account as to where I am today And the fact is I have been here before In 2003 several of us with the Bride gathered in my home in Enumclaw Washington for a gathering holding all things in common and hoping to receive the latter rain We were still looking to a Passover Pentecost for that fulfillment which would never and could never come After Pentecost everyone went back to their respective homes And let me add before they came my wife left me along with our two youngest daughters And not just that—she took all of our home furnishings and belongings and she has never returned Needless to say I was devastated by all of this—so much so that in the days that followed I began to plan a path of self-destruction! Frankly my plan was to get in my pickup drive to Colorado Springs Colorado go fishing find a woman who would lay with me until I ran out of money and then drive to Dallas Texas and live with the homeless in downtown Dallas where for three years I had once been a part of a ministry that fed the homeless there I didn’t care anymore But with this self-destructive plan I also prayed to God to “keep me from going fishing” And He did In October 2003 one of the brothers who had held all things in common called me and asked me if I would come to New York and help him get a house ready to sell and it needed a lot of work Would I! You bet I would! That was salvation! It was my much-needed answer to a desperate prayer! During the drive I experienced three panic attacks which I had never had before in my life and hope to never have again They are MOST fearful! Upon completing the work there I returned home and dealt with a legal separation my wife had filed and finally got it dropped Victory! Why do I share all of this Because here I am fourteen years later once again in October and once again desperately in need for God to hear and answer my prayer with fulfillment Frankly without the fulfillment I need things do not look good for me after 2017 anymore than the way they looked in 2003 when I was gong to go fishing etc I prayed then for deliverance and my back is once again against the wall and I need God to keep me from doing wrong This is at the end of my third and final period of twenty-three years and if God does not move the future for me personally is equally bleak I’ll be very honest with you—my wife has been gone for fourteen years In 2003 I was going to go and lay with a woman and today if nothing happens I am faced with the same temptation—but it would be to remarry I’m an honest person and I cannot see continuing to live alone as I have for fourteen years As the Father Himself concluded in the Garden “It is not good for the man to be alone” Well it’s not good for Gary to be alone And frankly it’s not good for Yahshua to be alone We’re in the same fix and I hope He will fix it for both of us and for me without sin Once again I need God to keep me from “going fishing” But this time I need for Him to make me a fisher of men wherein hopefully we will catch the 153 fish on the right side of the boat In 2003 I asked God to keep me from going fishing Today I am asking Him to send me out fishing! And I hope once again He hears my prayer I suggest you reread this so that you can more fully comprehend it and we look to the Father to fulfill His word—providing His Son a bride the Bride that comes out of the sleeping Body of Christ! There will be more to come on this new page as this tenth month of October unfolds We watch and hope for good Blessings Gary | 1 |

| According to Wikipedia a Blue Moon is “a second full moon in a month of the common calendar” and of interest: “The phrase has nothing to do with the actual color of the moon although a literal “blue moon” the moon appearing with a tinge of blue may occur in certain atmospheric conditions: eg when there are volcanic eruptions or when exceptionally large fires leave particles in the atmosphere” July 31 2015 a Blue Moon was due I wanted to get pictures of it over the water We decided to drive to Lake Quinault about 1-1/2 hours from Hoquiam Washington On the day we visited the Hoh Rainforest we had turned off Hwy 101 for a look at this lake and then decided to return when we had more time to spend | 1 |

| Lisa Pease menulis artikel berjudul “JFK Indonesia CIA and Freeport” dan dimuat dalam majalah Probe Tulisan bagus ini disimpan di dalam National Archive di Washington DC Dalam artikelnya Lisa Pease menulis jika dominasi Freeport atas gunung emas di Papua dimulai sejak tahun 1967 namun kiprahnya di Indonesia sudah dimulai beberapa tahun sebelumnya Freeport Sulphur demikian nama perusahaan itu awalnya nyaris bangkrut berkeping-keping ketika terjadi pergantian kekuasaan di Kuba tahun 1959 Saat itu Fidel Castro berhasil menghancurkan rezim diktator Batista Oleh Castro seluruh perusahaan asing di negeri itu dinasionalisasikan Freeport Sulphur yang baru saja hendak melakukan pengapalan nikel produksi perdananya terkena imbasnya Ketegangan terjadi Menurut Lisa Pease berkali-kali CEO Freeport Sulphur merencanakan upaya pembunuhan terhadap Castro namun berkali-kali pula menemui kegagalan Di tengah situasi yang penuh ketidakpastian pada Agustus 1959 Forbes Wilson yang menjabat sebagai Direktur Freeport Sulphur melakukan pertemuan dengan Direktur Pelaksana East Borneo Company Jan van Gruisen Dalam pertemuan itu Gruisen bercerita jika dirinya menemukan sebuah laporan penelitian atas Gunung Ersberg Gunung Tembaga di Irian Barat yang ditulis Jean Jaques Dozy di tahun 1936 Uniknya laporan itu sebenarnya sudah dianggap tidak berguna dan tersimpan selama bertahun-tahun begitu saja di Perpusatakaan Belanda Van Gruisen tertarik dengan laporan penelitian yang sudah berdebu itu dan membacanya Dengan berapi-api Van Gruisen bercerita kepada pimpinan Freeport Sulphur itu jika selain memaparkan tentang keindahan alamnya Jean Jaques Dozy juga menulis tentang kekayaan alamnya yang begitu melimpah Tidak seperti wilayah lainnya di seluruh dunia maka kandungan biji tembaga yang ada di sekujur Gunung Ersberg itu terhampar di atas permukaan tanah jadi tidak tersembunyi di dalam tanah Mendengar hal itu Wilson sangat antusias dan segera melakukan perjalanan ke Irian Barat untuk mengecek kebenaran cerita itu Di dalam benaknya jika kisah laporan ini benar maka perusahaannya akan bisa bangkit kembali dan selamat dari kebangkrutan yang sudah di depan mata Selama beberapa bulan Forbes Wilson melakukan survei dengan seksama atas Gunung Ersberg dan juga wilayah sekitarnya Penelitiannya ini kelak ditulisnya dalam sebuah buku berjudul The Conquest of Cooper Mountain Wilson menyebut gunung tersebut sebagai harta karun terbesar yang untuk memperolehnya tidak perlu menyelam lagi karena semua harta karun itu telah terhampar di permukaan tanah Dari udara tanah di sekujur gunung tersebut berkilauan ditimpa sinar matahari Wilson juga mendapatkan temuan yang nyaris membuatnya gila Karena selain dipenuhi bijih tembaga gunung tersebut ternyata juga dipenuhi bijih emas dan perak! Menurut Wilson seharusnya gunung tersebut diberi nama Gold Mountain bukan Gunung Tembaga Sebagai seorang pakar pertambangan Wilson memperkirakan jika Freeport akan untung besar dan dalam waktu tiga tahun sudah kembali modal Pimpinan Freeport Sulphur ini pun bergerak dengan cepat Pada 1 Februari 1960 Freeport Sulphur menekan kerjasama dengan East Borneo Company untuk mengeksplorasi gunung tersebut Namun lagi-lagi Freeport Sulphur mengalami kenyataan yang hampir sama dengan yang pernah dialaminya di Kuba Perubahan eskalasi politik atas tanah Irian Barat tengah mengancam Hubungan Indonesia dan Belanda telah memanas dan Soekarno malah mulai menerjunkan pasukannya di Irian Barat Tadinya Wilson ingin meminta bantuan kepada Presiden AS John Fitzgerald Kennedy agar mendinginkan Irian Barat Namun ironisnya JFK malah sepertinya mendukung Soekarno Kennedy mengancam Belanda akan menghentikan bantuan Marshall Plan jika ngotot mempertahankan Irian Barat Belanda yang saat itu memerlukan bantuan dana segar untuk membangun kembali negerinya dari puing-puing kehancuran akibat Perang Dunia II terpaksa mengalah dan mundur dari Irian Barat Ketika itu sepertinya Belanda tidak tahu jika Gunung Ersberg sesungguhnya mengandung banyak emas bukan tembaga Sebab jika saja Belanda mengetahui fakta sesungguhnya maka nilai bantuan Marshall Plan yang diterimanya dari AS tidak ada apa-apanya dibanding nilai emas yang ada di gunung tersebut Dampak dari sikap Belanda untuk mundur dari Irian Barat menyebabkan perjanjian kerjasama dengan East Borneo Company mentah kembali Para pimpinan Freeport jelas marah besar Apalagi mendengar Kennedy akan menyiapkan paket bantuan ekonomi kepada Indonesia sebesar 11 juta AS dengan melibatkan IMF dan Bank Dunia Semua ini jelas harus dihentikan! Segalanya berubah seratus delapan puluh derajat ketika Presiden Kennedy tewas ditembak pada 22 November 1963 Banyak kalangan menyatakan penembakan Kenndey merupakan sebuah konspirasi besar menyangkut kepentingan kaum Globalis yang hendak mempertahankan hegemoninya atas kebijakan politik di Amerika Presiden Johnson yang menggantikan Kennedy mengambil siap yang bertolak-belakang dengan pendahulunya Johnson malah mengurangi bantuan ekonomi kepada Indonesia kecuali kepada militernya Salah seorang tokoh di belakang keberhasilan Johnson termasuk dalam kampanye pemilihan presiden AS tahun 1964 adalah Augustus C Long salah seorang anggota dewan direksi Freeport Tokoh yang satu ini memang punya kepentingan besar atas Indonesia Selain kaitannya dengan Freeport Long juga memimpin Texaco yang membawahi Caltex patungan dengan Standard Oil of California Soekarno pada tahun 1961 memutuskan kebijakan baru kontrak perminyakan yang mengharuskan 60 persen labanya diserahkan kepada pemerintah Indonesia Caltex sebagai salah satu dari tiga operator perminyakan di Indonesia jelas sangat terpukul oleh kebijakan Soekarno ini Augustus C Long amat marah terhadap Soekarno dan amat berkepentingan agar orang ini disingkirkan secepatnya Mungkin suatu kebetulan yang ajaib Augustus C Long juga aktif di Presbysterian Hospital NY di mana dia pernah dua kali menjadi presidennya 1961-1962 Sudah bukan rahasia umum lagi jika tempat ini merupakan salah satu simpul pertemuan tokoh CIA Lisa Pease dengan cermat menelusuri riwayat kehidupan tokoh ini Antara tahun 1964 sampai 1970 Long pensiun sementara sebagai pimpinan Texaco Apa saja yang dilakukan orang ini dalam masa itu yang di Indonesia dikenal sebagai masa yang paling krusial Pease mendapatkan data jika pada Maret 1965 Augustus C Long terpilih sebagai Direktur Chemical Bank salah satu perusahaan Rockefeller Agustus 1965 Long diangkat menjadi anggota dewan penasehat intelijen kepresidenan AS untuk masalah luar negeri Badan ini memiliki pengaruh sangat besar untuk menentukan operasi rahasia AS di negara-negara tertentu Long diyakini salah satu tokoh yang merancang kudeta terhadap Soekarno yang dilakukan AS dengan menggerakkan sejumlah perwira Angkatan Darat yang disebutnya sebagai Our Local Army Friend Salah satu bukti adalah sebuah telegram rahasia Cinpac 342 21 Januari 1965 pukul 2148 yang menyatakan jika kelompok Jenderal Suharto akan mendesak angkatan darat agar mengambil alih kekuasaan tanpa menunggu Soekarno berhalangan Mantan pejabat CIA Ralph Mc Gehee juga pernah bersaksi jika hal itu benar adanya Awal November 1965 satu bulan setelah tragedi 1 Oktober 1965 Forbes Wilson mendapat telpon dari Ketua Dewan Direktur Freeport Langbourne Williams yang menanyakan apakah Freeport sudah siap mengeksplorasi gunung emas di Irian Barat Wilson jelas kaget Ketika itu Soekarno masih sah sebagai presiden Indonesia bahkan hingga 1967 lalu darimana Williams yakin gunung emas di Irian Barat akan jatuh ke tangan Freeport Lisa Pease mendapatkan jawabannya Para petinggi Freeport ternyata sudah mempunyai kontak tokoh penting di dalam lingkaran elit Indonesia Mereka adalah Menteri Pertambangan dan Perminyakan Ibnu Soetowo dan Julius Tahija Orang yang terakhir ini berperan sebagai penghubung antara Ibnu Soetowo dengan Freeport Ibnu Soetowo sendiri sangat berpengaruh di dalam angkatan darat karena dialah yang menutup seluruh anggaran operasionil mereka Sebab itulah ketika ketika UU No 1/1967 tentang Penanaman Modal Asing PMA yang draftnya dirancang di Jenewa-Swiss yang didiktekan Rockefeller disahkan tahun 1967 maka perusahaan asing pertama yang kontraknya ditandatangani Suharto adalah Freeport Inilah kali pertama kontrak pertambangan yang baru dibuat Jika di zaman Soekarno kontrak-kontrak dengan perusahaan asing selalu menguntungkan Indonesia maka sejak Suharto berkuasa kontrak-kontrak seperti itu malah banyak merugikan Indonesia Untuk membangun konstruksi pertambangan emasnya itu Freeport menggandeng Bechtel perusahaan AS yang banyak mempekerjakan pentolan CIA Direktur CIA John McCone memiliki saham di Bechtel sedangkan mantan Direktur CIA Richards Helms bekerja sebagai konsultan internasional di tahun 1978 Tahun 1980 Freeport menggandeng McMoran milik “Jim Bob” Moffet dan menjadi perusahaan raksasa dunia dengan laba lebih dari 15 miliar dollar AS pertahun Tahun 1996 seorang eksekutif Freeport-McMoran George A Maley menulis sebuah buku berjudul “Grasberg” setebal 384 halaman dan memaparkan jika tambang emas di Irian Barat itu memiliki depost terbesar di dunia sedangkan untuk bijih tembaganya menempati urutan ketiga terbesar Maley menulis data tahun 1995 menunjukkan jika di areal ini tersimpan cadangan bijih tembaga sebesar 403 miliar pon dan emas sebesar 521 juta ons Nilai jualnya 77 miliar dollar AS dan masih akan menguntungkan 45 tahun ke depan Ironisnya Maley dengan bangga juga menulis jika biaya produksi tambang emas dan tembaga terbesar dunia yang ada di Irian Barat itu merupakan yang termurah di dunia Istilah Kota Tembagapura itu sebenarnya salah Seharusnya Emaspura Karena gunung tersebut memang gunung emas walau juga mengandung tembaga Karena kandungan emas dan tembaga terserak di permukaan tanah maka Freeport tinggal memungutinya dan kemudian baru menggalinya dengan sangat mudah Freeport sama sekali tidak mau kehilangan emasnya itu dan membangun pipa-pipa raksasa dan kuat dari Grasberg-Tembagapura sepanjang 100 kilometer langsung menuju ke Laut Arafuru di mana telah menunggu kapal-kapal besar yang akan langsung mengangkut emas dan tembaga itu ke Amerika “Perampokan legal” ini masih terjadi sampai sekarang Kisah Freeport merupakan salah satu dari banyak sekali kisah sedih tentang bagaimana kekayaan alam Indonesia oleh para penguasanya malah digadaikan bulat-bulat untuk dirampok imperialisme asing demi memperkaya diri keluarga dan kelompoknya sendiri Kenyataan memilukan ini masih berlangsung sampai sekarang Pertemuan Mafia Berkeley dengan Rockefeller dan kawan-kawannya di Jenewa-Swiss di bulan November 1967 menjadi bukti tak terbantahkan tentang permufakatan tersebut Di saat itulah rezim Jenderal Soeharto mencabut kemerdekaan negeri ini dan menjadikan Indonesia kembali sebagai negeri terjajah Ironisnya penjajahan asing atas Indonesia diteruskan oleh rezim yang tengah berkuasa saat ini yang ternyata “jauh lebih edan” ketimbang Jenderal Soeharto dulu | 1 |

Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots You need JavaScript enabled to view it Or mail to: PO Box 586 Fredericktown MO 63645 Since this month is typically the month we hold specific celebrations of love for family and friends it is quite appropriate for our family to be thanking Joe and Joye Hengst for their service to our FCM and There’s No Place Like Home families For over 23 years they typed edited formatted and emailed our monthly newsletters And for a time put together our magazines which turned out to be a huge task that required more than Joye and I anticipated Joye continually updated our mailing list printed mailing labels for our conference flyers and postcards proofed conference speakers’ schedule and program and in general kept me on track When Joye did not see an activity that needed to be advertised she would let me know When Sonia neglected placing newsletters on the website she would let her know When I could not find a past article or particular piece of information Joye would retrieve it for me When I wrote something Joye thought should be deleted or reworded she let me know Jon and I also sought counsel from Joe and Joye on letters articles and difficult situations So when Joye said she was retiring we were quite distressed We knew that this would come about some time as Joe and Joye’s children graduated years ago but we dreaded the day We will miss Joe’s computer savviness and Joye’s meticulous attention to details and her editing expertise Beyond the work they did for us each month we already miss our frequent correspondences Thankfully we are friends so will continue to visit with them but it is not quite the same as talking with them each month I asked Joye to share some history of the newsletters and here is what she wrote: My husband Joe and I homeschooled our two children from 1992 through 2004 We enjoyed editing and formatting the homeschooling newsletter for the Summers family from September 1994 through 2017 There were a lot of changes over the years but one of my favorite changes was in January 1997 when we changed from one column to two columns to make the newsletter more readable Since Jon and Candy can be resistant to change it took a while for them to give the new format a try In Candy’s words “Joe has been patient with us only occasionally submitting sample formats for us to view” Back then Candy wrote out all the newsletter articles by hand since she was not yet computer literate sometimes 100 handwritten pages Then I would type up the newsletter and Joe would help me to format it After Candy acquired a computer and learned how to use it I was so proud of her! her articles grew much longer Another big change happened in June 1998 when the newsletter format was changed to a magazine format Mike Stull designed beautiful color covers and the magazine contained articles by Candy and other authors Joe and I learned to use the desktop publishing program Quark and figured out how to add graphics and pictures to the magazine Then we went back to a newsletter format from September/October 2000 through May/June 2005 which was the last printed newsletter Beginning in the fall of 2005 we changed to an email newsletter No more printing and mailing expenses made this much cheaper and easier We didn’t do any fancy formatting and graphics with the emails like we did with the newsletters so this took less time which was good since I started working part-time in 2005 It doesn’t seem like it’s been twenty-three years since we started helping Candy send out her newsletters but we have loved doing it! FCM LEGISLATIVE ALERTS AND REPORTS Defenders of the Unborn Mary Maschmeier shares: St Louis City Board of Alderman Move Unconstitutional Buffer Zone Bill Forward Read full article under Dismantling America at the end of this newsletter and please consider contacting the members of the St Louis City Board of Aldermen before March 3 The Public Safety Committee of the St Louis City Board of Alderman ignored our many calls of concern regarding the buffer zone bill that denies sidewalk counselors at abortion clinics from being within 8 feet of the driveway entrance to the facility BB34 Showing an utter disregard for our free speech rights protected by our Constitution they passed BB34 out of Committee and on to the full Assembly for a possible vote on Friday 3/2/18 This vote reflects how closely allied the City government is with the abortion industry While they claim to support women’s health they are denying these women in difficult situations the option to avoid a lifetime of regret The aldermen tout women’s choice but deny them the important information they need to make that choice An uninformed choice is no choice at all For the health and safety of Missouri women and for the preservation of our constitutionally recognized free speech we ask your continued prayers that God open the hearts and minds of the St Louis City Board of Aldermen to the threat BB34 poses and to grant them the wisdom to make the right decision to vote against BB34 FCM Legislative reports for January and February will soon be online at FCM ACTIVITIES FCM 34th Annual Graduation If

Our Family’s Commitment to Multi-Generational Farms and Family Wellness Our entire family cares for our land and animals with love and compassion as we consider our stewardship a duty for future generations After investigating our ancestry we realized that we are the sixth generation to farm over more than 100 years fifth generation in this community We are also the third generation to operate a raw milk dairy Our family is committed to multigenerational family farms and hope to be able to one day say that the Summers Family Farms are family owned and operated by generations of Summers’ families that continue to live and work together on the land they call home in the same location for over 1000 years Grocery store beef is usually brought to overcrowded filthy feedlots for the last 4-5 months of their lives and fed an unnatural diet with steroids antibiotics growth hormones and animal by products thrown in to bring beef to market nearly a year earlier than our grass-fed steers Mass production processors typically process hundreds of cows per hour and then treat the beef with chemical baths and irradiation to compensate for the fast production methods Our 100 Grass Fed Beef are born raised and finished on our lush green pastures that are free of herbicides pesticides and synthetic fertilizers To make certain our cattle get the most nutritious diet possible Jedidiah and Josiah rotate them nearly every day to large lush paddocks of salad bar greens Our cattle are never confined fed antibiotics or receive hormones For maximum flavor and tenderness we dry age our beef for 2-3 weeks Only a small number of grass fed beef operations go to this trouble and expense When it is time to butcher our sons help our butcher One steer takes nearly a full day to butcher because they take the time to do it right Instead of vacuum packing our meat we wrap it in butcher paper because plastic leaches cacogenics and a vacuum-packed environment allows bacteria to grow exponentially Our grass-fed beef provides 2-4 times more omega-3s and a more favorable anti-inflammatory ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats than grain-fed beef Grass-fed beef also has 2-3 times more CLA a kind of fat that is thought to help protect against cancer heart disease and diabetes Grass-fed beef also has 7 times more beta-carotene and 2 times more vitamin E than grain fed cattle

naturally delicious the exceptional tastiness of ours is definitely due to the rich creamy Jersey milk from our cows natural healthy eggs from our chickens which we hard boil so they are clean and

Earlier this month the children and I had the honor of listening to Charles 9th Earl Spencer speak on his rich family history and the honor he shares with past generations as keeper of the ancestral home During the lecture he shared his immense love of his family’s history and said It is in my bones I look after Althorp and love it Althorp is a family home first and foremost I love that my ancestor built this home and left it in his will that Althorp must always be a place of enjoyment I love getting back to letters and journals that bring to life that families loved living here Showing a slide of one of his favorite family portraits of a mother hugging her child he said I love this portrait of a mother hugging her child with a little dog playing with them Althorp has always been a home Just one of the 650 family portraits in the house the Earl expressed the pleasure he derives from exploring the history of each of the ancestors he passed all his life He felt that each of them were worth remembering And then expressed how great it was to get married in the house surrounded by all of his ancestors Clearly a man who reveres his past the Earl gratefully honored one of his ancestors who lived in poverty in the palace because he refused to surrender it to the state Apparently Althorp is one of just a few family estates still remaining in private hands because of the tremendous tax burden which at the time of that particular ancestor was 98 The Earl said he was so thankful that his forefather held onto the estate for future posterity because he believed it was more important to hold onto the estate than live in comfort Charles then showed a picture of his seven children and said that he refurbished the exterior and replaced the wiring plumbing heating for his children and their posterity Each of his ancestors had done that before him and so he continues to care for the family home with the same wise and thoughtful multigenerational vision Every project is done with future generations in mind and that in fact is the reason Althorp has remained in the family-each generation sacrificing for the generations to come The Earl shared a lovely story of reading a letter from his great grandmother to his great grandfather about planting Cedars of Lebanon that would be good for their great grandson It set him thinking in terms of hundreds of years and wondering how will my great great grandchildren want it to be He ended his marvelous talk with this poignant tribute There is something about Althorp that is not imposing I think it is due to the fact that it has been one family that has lived here for 19 generations they loved it and made it a home I think you can always tell if the soul of a house is intact So many ancestors in my family have made this home viable You can tell if a home has been loved Keeping this collection together is what it is all about for me I am just the caretaker What can be done over five centuries when a family continues to honor their past by building on the shoulders of their ancestors They can increase land holdings to 14500 acres Build an estate with 90 rooms Become the richest family in the country Loan money to their country Create the greatest private library in the world with 43000 first editions Gather one of the world’s finest private collections of priceless antiques paintings and ceramics Establish Althorp Living History a company that manufactures handmade fine reproductions of Althorp’s collection of antiques Build a museum for the family’s history Produce historical documentaries Raise prize bulls herds and flocks Change history by serving in the House of Lords and House of Commons as Chamberlain to the King Courtier to the Queen the First Lord of Admiralty modernize the Queen’s Navy and serve on the county council Their home can become a gathering place for all the monarchs in the world and other men of renown such as Winston Churchill and George Washington And they can use their money to help others One of the present Earl’s projects is having a home for abandoned and orphaned children But more astounding to me than all the accomplishments during each lifetime is the faithfulness of each generation to impart the vast importance and significance of the family’s vision calling and generational obligation as keepers and caretakers of the family legacy! Rising to the daunting task of steward of the Spencer family’s rich legacy and expansive ancestral estate in North Hamptonshire 9th Earl Charles Spencer younger brother of Diana Princess of Wales a Godson of Her Majesty the Queen has undertaken the extensive refurbishment of the house and grounds which are visited by thousands each year After his beloved sister’s death he constructed a mausoleum for her remains and a museum commemorating her life Charles continues to acquire priceless paintings and articles of antiquities to add to his family’s collection and established a line of handmade fine reproductions of Althorp’s collection of antiques Coming from a long line of nobility-kings and queens Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President George Washington-acclaimed best-selling historian Charles Spencer has authored six historical books including Althorp: The Story of an English House The Spencers: A Personal History of an English Family Blenheim: The Battle for Europe Prince Rupert-The Last Cavalier Killers of the King: The Men Who Dared to Execute Charles I and most recently To Catch a King The Secrets of SUMMERS SIGNATURE Home-A Sense of Place In a world full of strangers and unfamiliar objects home provides a sense of place and belonging where family stories are told and new ones created Conversations are shared Souls are nurtured problems solved and troubled hearts mended Books are read aloud with everyone gathered round Games are played and songs are sung Memories are made through the experiences shared and then shared again as they are retold through the ages Where favorite objects are admired and held and then passed on to the next generation Sharing a deep kinship to family members in the place we call home is the greatest joy of life! DELIGHTFUL SURPRISES Valentine Sweets for the Sweets in Your Life Although my family sold candy year-round shortly after New Year’s we began showcasing gorgeous red satin heart shaped boxes of Russell Stover’s candies along with a large selection of Hallmark’s beautiful Valentine cards Our store was sold many years ago but I still remember how thrilling it was to display such lovely gifts of sweets DeBrand Fine Chocolates Today was truly a day of rest as we stayed home from church While the boys napped after morning chores Sonia and I read our February issue of Victoria magazine-cover to cover Appropriate to the holiday De Brand’s rich truffles were encased in one of the signature chocolate heart boxes Too expensive for our budget right now we still greatly appreciated the company’s standard of excellence and attention to every detail This company serves as an exemplary model for all business endeavors I recommend that you watch Celebrating 25 Years with your children Liquorice Allsorts from Vermont Country Store I purchased Liquorice Allsorts for Sonia’s Christmas stocking She loves them and said that they are the best licorice she has ever tasted No other candy in the world tastes like Liquorice Allsorts the famous licorice candy enjoyed by the English for over a century Assortment of not-too-chewy melt-in-your-mouth Liquorice Allsorts includes little licorice petit fours and a variety of colorful fruit and coconut pastels each with a sweet licorice center The Bassett Company claims that their creation happened when in 1899 Charlie Thompson a sales representative dropped a tray of samples he was showing a customer mixing up the various candies He attempted to re-arrange them but the customer was intrigued by the new creation The company began to mass-produce the new product under the name of Allsorts and they became very popular Although I am not fond of licorice I was impressed with the ingredients of these unusual sweets: Sugar cane molasses wheat flour glucose syrup contains sulphites desiccated coconut palm oil beef gelatin cornstarch glycerol natural colors plain caramel beetroot red curcumin paprika fat reduced cocoa powder licorice extract natural flavorings lemon aniseed raspberry vanilla orange glazing agent beeswax fruit and vegetable juices for coloring OldTimeCandycom Candy you ate as a kid The dime stores Spicers and Nagels that we visited each year for all kinds of wonderful goodies including the old time favorite candies we ate as a kid are now gone I lament that I will not be able to take my grandchildren to these stores where my children and I have so many wonderful shopping memories However I just found this candy company online and thought it would be fun to gather some goodies for the children We are Karen and Donny Ray and our business is located in LaGrange Ohio We grew up in the late fifties and early sixties and are certified baby boomers It cost 50 cents to go the picture show and a large bag of popcorn from the dime store was only a dime really! We remember the first McDonald’s in Cleveland when the burgers were 15 cents and the fries sold for 12 cents Those were the days!

copied our favorites for each of my children but their cookbooks and recipe boxes are here in the same house Recently I typed out our favorite family recipes and stored on a file on the computer just in case of fire FAMILY OUTINGS A Lovely Day Trip for the Family-These are routes that we took through beautiful farm country Please check a map for more detailed directions Crumpies 11 Point Smokehouse For Jon’s 68th birthday Josiah planned a lovely day trip that included Crumpies 11 Point Smokehouse in Couch Missouri Grand Gulf State Park in Koshkonong and Sybil’s plantation restaurant in St James Almost the entire drive was gorgeous The trip began as we headed south from Fredericktown on highway 67 Mostly open vistas of fields tree covered hills creeks and rivers with few houses and nearly no business make this section of the journey a delight to the eyes The beautiful countryside continued as we turned west on 60 through beautiful farms- acres and acres of great farms I am not certain what southern route we took to get to 142 but once on 142 we went west to Crumpies 11 Point Smokehouse Although close to the Arkansas border this adorable diner is in the middle of nowhere When I asked how they survive they said that people come from all over Missouri and Arkansas Constructed by the owner’s father this well built impeccably clean adorable diner with red and silver table and chairs Andy Griffith memorabilia and Coca Cola décor offered delicious barbecue and hamburgers The owners were very friendly and took time to talk about their heritage For pictures of the food go to Trip Advisor Review Grand Gulf State Park Continuing west on 142 we got on W and passed through more lovely farms and woods to Grand Gulf State Park in Koshkonong near Thayer One of the natural wonders of the Ozarks often referred to as the Little Grand Canyon this collapsed cave system goes for over a mile between walls that reach 130 feet high with a natural bridge that spans 250 feet Hiking trails and scenic overlooks give a bird’s eye and down to earth look at this natural phenomenon On MO State ParksGoogle MapsOn Trip Advisor Sybill’s Restaurant SYBILL’S ST JAMES When we left we continued north on 377 north on 63 east on 44 and north 68 to Sybils restaurant in St James just outside Rolla Pulling up to this beautiful restaurant in the black of night was like coming upon a sparkling diamond on black velvet Cozy and delightful we felt as if we were dining in our friend’s plantation home Even our waiter made us feel at home as he answered our personal questions with personal answers It was fitting as the owner shared how she came home after years working elsewhere Family history is important to us so we enjoyed hearing hers We were so pleased to learn that the owner had finally returned home embraced her family’s heritage and went into partnership with her parents Sybill’s expertise in the food industry was quite evident in the variety of carefully crafted cuisine she provided her guests Everything was exquisite! The coconut cream pie and roast prime rib were the best we have ever eaten We also enjoyed the Asian Dumplings Lobster Rangoon and coconut shrimp And the service was great The lovely atmosphere and dining experience was the perfect ending to a perfect day celebrating Jon’s 68th birthday SUMMERS ON THE FARM -It had been just a few days since Jedidiah and I had gone to pick up feed Most of the feed bags were still covered with cellophane on pallets and tied down on the goose neck trailer I was getting ready to feed but the cans were empty so I went to the trailer to pull off some bags I could only pull from the one side because the other was up against the staircase Of course the feed was on that side As the trailer is a bit tall for me I had to pull myself up on the trailer roll over to that side and pull The bags were wedged tight I pulled and pulled I then braced myself and pulled with my left arm Pop went the shoulder as pain permeated that spot Nearly two months later an MRI revealed a Subscapularis tear Of the four shoulder tendons the surgeon said that it is the most difficult and challenging to heal and to repair It is highly uncommon for anyone to tear this tendon-I can imagine- but that he had just done a very long and difficult surgery on one that had completely severed I asked if it was successful He said that he will not know for another six months He prescribed six weeks of light duty for me and physical therapy-two days a week If it is not better after the six weeks he said it would be best to attempt repair while it is just a tear rather than waiting until it completely severed which in all likelihood would considering the constant wear and tear it would get on the farm I am praying for a complete healing as I don’t want surgery but I need that shoulder every day and I need to be able to sleep at night without pain -Josiah tapped 50-60 trees this year I helped him carry the jugs along the creek and insert the hoses into the lids as he went along tapping the trees I love helping the boys collect the sap into buckets It takes 40 gallons of maple sap to make 1 gallon of syrup It amazes me that God provided a source of sweetener that is so healthy for us and that it comes from our own trees It also amazes me that someone thought to tap trees and realized by cooking down the clear sap they could get a lovely amber colored sweetener It takes long hours in our outdoor cooker to boil down the maples’ sap to just the right consistency of syrup Jedidiah and I usually finish cooking down the sap straining and canning it in our kitchen -Piglets lambs and calves continue to come -Although Jon and the boys and sometimes Sonia roll out the large round bales each morning so every head of cattle gets to eat their share we purchased a huge hay ring for the bales we don’t want spread on the fields because of some of the weeds they contain When we cut all our own hay we did not have to worry about this but with our increase of cattle we need all the grasses that grow forcing us to purchase hay from several other sources Sometimes they contain weeds that we don’t want to spread on our farm We hope the new feeder will help contain those weeds in a small area I look forward to the day when we are able to purchase more land so we have enough grass to bale and graze -The boys continue clearing out the saplings blowdowns and brush away from the fencing pulling out the old fencing setting new posts pulling the new fencing and barbed wire tight securing it on the posts and fortifying the corner posts All of our fencing is in desperate need of replacing-miles of it-so it will be a while before the boys finish the job -Jon is hauling the hay he cut for others this summer to our farm for feeding our cattle -Josiah is cutting and splitting more firewood to carry us through March We burn the wood in our living room’s large stone fireplace to heat our entire first floor -The problems of having old equipment are many Someday I hope to have new equipment for the boys as Jedidiah is constantly welding things back together while he and Josiah are constantly pulling things apart repairing and putting them back together -Looking for another truck to replace the one that died FARM LIFE IS THE LIFE FOR ME No Sight More Glorious than Home at Journey’s End What must it have been like to spy the familiar lights of home on the distant shore after riding the high seas for months on end Or to round the bend after a long hunt and see smoke rising from the snug cabin left behind in the woods Just recently both Jedidiah and then Jon told me how wonderful it was to come up our lane and see me busily working in the kitchen spying the lights of their vehicle and waving a welcome home Their appreciation prompted me to reflect on the nights that I come home after evening chores Since nightfall comes early during the winter season I like to begin my chores before darkness blankets the land I begin my nightly routine by flipping the light switches on for the barn’s main corridor then the cow and sheep mangers I first throw feed in the manger for the dairy cows One by one they file in along the long manger stick their heads between each stanchion and begin chowing down They have access to pasture and round bales of hay all day but each evening brings a special treat of alfalfa/orchard mix hay I then turn around and feed the weaned calves on the opposite side of the barn who rush in as they hear the evening’s meals preparation While the dairy cows and calves are occupied I fill up the silver bucket with sheep feed slide open the huge back barn doors open the gate to the large sleeping quarter for the sheep that I or one of the children prepared earlier that day with bedding straw water clover hay bales salt and kelp and pour the feed into two feeding troughs I then open the back gate turn the corner and call in the sheep Quickly they file past me as I count to make certain all have returned Once all in I pull the gate shut and slide the latch I linger at the gate for a moment to watch the lambs chase each other around and around while mamas eat to their hearts content It is such a joyful scene watching the lambs have so much fun Pulling myself away I fill the silver bucket again with feed for our Jersey bull and often the ram or other bulls I put the feed into the feed trough and then fill his water trough Then I feed and water the calves or lambs or ewes and lambs or pigs and piglets that fill the smaller manger While they are eating I spread fresh straw for bedding I latch their manger tight put the chain back around the post of the back gate slide the huge barn doors closed and fill the dogs and cats’ dishes While everyone is eating I pull up a chair and watch the steam rise from the long line of cows one right after another along the manger And I listen intently to the lovely sound of contentedness as all the animals munch their hay The dogs gather at my feet for rubs all around Vying for attention I busily run my hands over each dog over and over again until soon one cat jumps in my lap then another The last one sits on a straw bale next to me Surrounded by my lovable furry friends while hearing our livestock enjoy dinner is sheer ecstasy for me! When I become chilled to the bone I realize it is time to go home so I pat everyone goodnight turn out the lights drive up to the chicken coop and herd the geese in their enclosure latch their double doors and then the chicken door tell the boys I will see them at home or pick up Sonia from the dairy or Jon at the shed or silently leave if I am all alone close and lock the main gate and then the barn gate Headed home I turn the UTV into the white chat drive between our towering pines and wind through the dense forest that surrounds our home Amid the chill of the dark night I soon see our house snugly nestled in the woods Softly penetrating the winter eve warm golden light spills out of every window At that moment all is right with the world as the warmth of the light beckons my heart inside Pausing for a moment I take another look and sigh as nothing is more glorious than the sight of home at journey’s end Two lit lamps stand on either side of our kitchen window Twinkle lights sparkle from around the dining room window Christmas tree porch railing and deer From the outside the house looks so inviting Richly lit from lamps on every table surface lights under the kitchen cabinets and recessed lighting over the sofas and fireplace with a cat perched on top of a wing backed chair another curled upon the chair next to a crackling fire I realize how marvelous it is to come home! It is those moments that strike a chord of perfect pitch when thrilling pleasure shoots through my veins creating harmony in my soul while praise rises from my lips for the home shared with loved ones Uncomfortably cold I welcome the warmth that encircles my body the moment I enter In the background I hear Christmas music playing and smell the food I left cooking in the oven before I left or which Sonia has recently prepared and understand how wonderful it is for men to come home each night after a long day away Ah farm life is the life for me! WELLNESS V Dryer Sheets and Fabric Softeners Linked to Cancer and Neurological Diseases Before the convenience of dryers clothes hung outside everyone’s door where the sun’s rays killed the bacteria germs and dust mites and the gentle breeze made them smell delightfully fresh Then along came electric dryers and synthetic fabrics and the need for fabric softeners and dryer sheets No longer sweetly scented by the summer breeze manufacturers came up with fakegrances to mask the unpleasant smell of chemically produced fabrics heated in the dryer Created from dozens of highly toxic chemicals frakegrances which are virtually unregulated in the US are known endocrine disruptors affecting sex hormones especially in infants Likely responsible for a large share of the asthma epidemic in this country fakegrances irritate the lungs The Environmental Working Group’s scale of 1 to10 with 10 being most toxic rates fragrance toxicity level at 8 Besides fakegrances fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain ingredients that irritate the upper respiratory tract and can cause respiratory problems central nervous system disorders loss of muscular coordination headaches nausea vomiting dizziness depression confusion twitching muscles and convulsions They are linked to pancreatic cancer and are neurotoxic and carcinogenic Mike Adams from Natural News says that When people use dryer sheets they are coating their clothes with a thin film of artificial chemical perfumes Just like other perfumes a person’s sensitivity to these perfumes decreases over time to the point where they don’t even notice how potent these artificial fragrance chemicals are None of this would be interesting if it weren’t for the fact that these fragrance chemicals are extremely toxic They are known carcinogens They cause liver damage and cancer in mammals Even after we turn off our dryers these harmful toxins remain suspended in the air for hours And no matter where we go we are breathing these harmful toxins from the clothes we wear Then we breathe them all through the night from our sheets and blankets which go straight to the brain’s most sensitive neurological center If this were not bad enough these toxic chemicals are also directly absorbed into our bloodstream through our skin as our body temperature and perspiration dissolves the chemicals from our day evening and night attire And we not only pollute our own homes and ourselves but we pollute our neighborhoods as the toxins escape through our dryer vents and impact everyone we even casually pass What is worse still is that these toxins are created to remain in clothing and bedding for a long time so even if we eliminate them in our homes it could potentially take years to eliminate them from our garments and bedding I have heard that in some cases they never come out Environmental Toxins Contribute to Dementia gtFrom Why I Decided to Ditch Dryer Sheets Vanessa Romero repeatedly asked her mother’s neurologist for answers as to what caused her mother’s Lewy Body Disease a form of dementia Consistently he had expressed with certainty “the only thing we know for sure is environmental toxins contribute to dementia” While investigating toxins contribution to dementia she found a book The Brain Wash which revealed toxins link to neurological disease and the harmful effect on overall health Two of the worst offenders were fabric softeners and dryer sheets According to neurologists and other experts in this area the chemicals absorbed into our bodies contribute to dysfunction and disease of the nervous system One study found more than 25 “volatile” air pollutants released by laundry products-including carcinogens In fact headlines from publications around the world are reporting alarming increases in brain diseases The Brain Wash: A Powerful All-Natural Program to Protect Your Brain Against Alzheimer’s Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Depression Parkinson’s and Other Diseases Arguably the most powerful organ in the body the brain governs thoughts moods emotions movement speech and every daily function Until recently scientists believed that this mysterious organ was protected by an impermeable mechanism known as the blood brain barrier that was understood to allow only nutrients to reach the brain without letting toxic chemicals in However the most recent cutting-edge research demonstrates that this system allows many environmental toxins and heavy metals access to the delicate brain Unfortunately once these substances reach the brain it can take decades to eliminate them-decades that can result in such substantial damage as inflammation and plaque build-up in the brain In light of this new understanding a huge volume of new research links environmental toxins…to brain diseases like Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s depression autism and many others Consider one groundbreaking study entitled Toxic Nation: A Report on Pollution This study found that no matter where people live how old they are or what they do for all living they are contaminated with measurable levels of chemicals that are known to cause cancer disrupt hormones affect reproduction cause respiratory problems or impair neurological development One in seven people currently live with brain disease and almost 12 million people are diagnosed with brain disease in the United States alone very year The number of people with Alzheimer’s disease is expected to quadruple over the next fifty years-escalating from four to fourteen million Another disease of the mind attention deficit disorder ADD has increased five hundred percent in just fifty years!

OF AMERICA Defenders of the Unborn Mary Maschmeier shares: St Louis City Board of Alderman Move Unconstitutional Buffer Zone Bill Forward The Public Safety Committee of the St Louis City Board of Alderman ignored our many calls of concern regarding the buffer zone bill that denies sidewalk counselors at abortion clinics from being within 8 feet of the driveway entrance to the facility BB34 Showing an utter disregard for our free speech rights protected by our Constitution they passed BB34 out of Committee and on to the full Assembly for a possible vote on Friday 3/2/18 This vote reflects how closely allied the City government is with the abortion industry While they claim to support women’s health they are denying these women in difficult situations the option to avoid a lifetime of regret The aldermen tout women’s choice but deny them the important information they need to make that choice An uninformed choice is no choice at all For the health and safety of Missouri women and for the preservation of our constitutionally recognized free speech we ask your continued prayers that God open the hearts and minds of the St Louis City Board of Aldermen to the threat BB34 poses and to grant them the wisdom to make the right decision to vote against BB34 ‘ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots You need JavaScript enabled to view it ‘ ‘ This e-mail address

34CS as it is a clear violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and in direct conflict with US Supreme Court Case law under McCullenetal v Coakley 134 SCt 2518 2014 A copy of the McCullen etal v Coakley case is attached This Board Bill sets an illegal and very dangerous precedent of violating the freedom of speech beyond views on abortion or any other specific issue You all took an oath to uphold the US Constitution and the laws of our great Country and you are not allowed to pick and choose the subject matter or content of expression or speech to restrict because you may or may not disagree with it Id Sidewalks and public ways occupy a special position in terms of First Amendment protection because of their historic role as sites for discussion and debate US v Grace 461 US 171 180 1983 These areas are traditionally “public fora” which have immemorially been held in trust for use of the public and for the purpose of assembly and communicating thoughts between citizens and discussing public questions Id Due to the open character of sidewalks and public streets the ability of the government to regulate and restrict speech in such locations is “very limited” Id In such a public forum the government can’t selectively shield the public from the content of speech that you may disagree with and not other speech that you may agree with Based on the wording of the Board Bill and the testimony presented in favor of the Board Bill the Board Bill is not a reasonable restriction of protected speech based on time place or manner under McCullen etal v Coakley The Board Bill is not justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech McCullen etal v Coakley The Board Bill is not narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest Id The City fails to demonstrate that alternative measures that burden substantially less speech would fail to achieve the interest of the City Id The City fails to leave open ample alternative channels of communication Id The communication at issue is the “essence” of the First Amendment Id No form of speech is entitled to greater constitutional protection Id This communication lies at the heart of the First Amendment This Board Bill violates the constitutional right to free speech and convey a message Id The right to converse with fellow citizens on public sidewalks is fundamental throughout the history of the United States Id The Board Bill is an extreme and unreasonable step of closing a substantial portion of traditional public forum to all speakers Id The Board Bill violates a historic and time honored forum and the essential purpose of free speech Please put politics and personal agendas of certain groups or individuals aside and uphold the right to free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment by voting against this Board Bill Id This Board Bill is a substantial waste of time effort and City resources as it violates the First Amendment and is inconsistent with McCullen etal v Coakley which has already been ruled upon by the US Supreme Court as set forth above and otherwise Where does the dangerous precedent of this Board Bill lead to in violation of the First Amendment Id What happens if Planned Parenthood employees promote abortion escorting in the buffer zone What precedent is next if there is a puppy mill or animal shelter abusing or killing animals What if there is free speech being limited based on race Ethnicity Religion Age Sex Disagreement with Court Verdicts Please vote against Board Bill 34CS Thank you for your time and

uneducated radically biased emotionally charged socialistic populace mirrors the changing culture at the time before the French Revolution Diane Drinkard shared this wonderful article with us Are We Free to Discuss America’s Real Problems Imprimis Hillsdale College January 2018 Volume 47 Number 1 Amy L Wax is the Robert Mundheim Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School where she has received the Harvey Levin Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence She has a BS from Yale College an MD from Harvard Medical School and a JD from Columbia Law School She is a former assistant to the United States Solicitor General and her most recent book is Race Wrongs and Remedies: Group Justice in the 21st Century The following is adapted from a speech delivered on December 12 2017 at Hillsdale College’s Allan P Kirby Jr Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington DC as part of the AWC Family Foundation Lecture Series “There is a lot of abstract talk these days on American college campuses about free speech and the values of free inquiry with plenty of lip service being paid to expansive notions of free expression and the marketplace of ideas What I’ve learned through my recent experience of writing a controversial op-ed is that most of this talk is not worth much It is only when people are confronted with speech they don’t like that we see whether these abstractions are real to them The op-ed which I co-authored with Larry Alexander of the University of San Diego Law School appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer on August 9 under the title “Paying the Price for the Breakdown of the Country’s Bourgeois Culture” It began by listing some of the ills afflicting American society: Too few Americans are qualified for the jobs available Male working-age labor-force participation is at Depression-era lows Opioid abuse is widespread Homicidal violence plagues inner cities Almost half of all children are born out of wedlock and even more are raised by single mothers Many college students lack basic skills and high school students rank below those from two dozen other countries We then discussed the “cultural script”—a list of behavioral norms—that was almost universally endorsed between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s: Get married before you have children and strive to stay married for their sake Get the education you need for gainful employment work hard and avoid idleness Go the extra mile for your employer or client Be a patriot ready to serve the country Be neighborly civic-minded and charitable Avoid coarse language in public Be respectful of authority Eschew substance abuse and crime These norms defined a concept of adult responsibility that was we wrote “a major contributor to the productivity educational gains and social coherence of that period” The fact that the “bourgeois culture” these norms embodied has broken down since the 1960s we argued largely explains today’s social pathologies—and re-embracing that culture would go a long way toward addressing those pathologies In what became perhaps the most controversial passage we pointed out that cultures are not equal in terms of preparing people to be productive citizens in a modern technological society and we gave some examples of cultures less suited to achieve this: The culture of the Plains Indians was designed for nomadic hunters but is not suited to a First World 21st-century environment Nor are the single-parent antisocial habits prevalent among some working-class whites the anti-‘acting white’ rap culture of inner-city blacks the anti-assimilation ideas gaining ground among some Hispanic immigrants The reactions to this piece raise the question of how unorthodox opinions should be dealt with in academia—and in American society at large It is well documented that American universities today more than ever before are dominated by academics on the left end of the political spectrum How should these academics handle opinions that depart even quite sharply from their “politically correct” views The proper response would be to engage in reasoned debate—to attempt to explain using logic evidence facts and substantive arguments why those opinions are wrong This kind of civil discourse is obviously important at law schools like mine because law schools are dedicated to teaching students how to think about and argue all sides of a question But academic institutions in general should also be places where people are free to think and reason about important questions that affect our society and our way of life—something not possible in today’s atmosphere of enforced orthodoxy What those of us in academia should certainly not do is engage in unreasoned speech: hurling slurs and epithets name-calling vilification and mindless labeling Likewise we should not reject the views of others without providing reasoned arguments Yet these once common standards of practice have been violated repeatedly at my own and at other academic institutions in recent years—and we increasingly see this trend in society as well One might respond of course that unreasoned slurs and outright condemnations are also speech and must be defended My recent experience has caused me to rethink this position In debating others we should have higher standards Of course one has the rightto hurl labels like “racist” “sexist” and “xenophobic” without good reason—but that doesn’t make it the right thing to do Hurling such labels doesn’t enlighten inform edify or educate Indeed it undermines these goals by discouraging or stifling dissent So what happened after our op-ed was published last August A raft of letters statements and petitions from students and professors at my university and elsewhere condemned the piece as racist white supremacist hate speech heteropatriarchial xenophobic etc There were demands that I be removed from the classroom and from academic committees None of these demands even purported to address our arguments in any serious or systematic way A response published in the Daily Pennsylvanian our school newspaper and signed by five of my Penn Law School colleagues charged us with the sin of praising the 1950s—a decade when racial discrimination was openly practiced and opportunities for women were limited I do not agree with the contention that because a past era is marked by benighted attitudes and practices—attitudes and practices we had acknowledged in our op-ed!—it has nothing to teach us But at least this response attempted to make an argument Not so an open letter published in the Daily Pennsylvanian and signed by 33 of my colleagues This letter quoted random passages from the op-ed and from a subsequent interview I gave to the school newspaper condemned both and categorically rejected all of my views It then invited students in effect to monitor me and to report any “stereotyping and bias” they might experience or perceive This letter contained no argument no substance no reasoning no explanation whatsoever as to how our op-ed was in error We hear a lot of talk about role models—people to be emulated who set a positive example for students and others In my view the 33 professors who signed this letter are anti-role models To students and citizens alike I say: don’t emulate them in condemning people for their views without providing a reasoned argument Reject their example Not only are they failing to teach you the practice of civil discourse—the sine qua non of liberal education and of democracy—they are sending the message that civil discourse is unnecessary As Jonathan Haidt of NYU wrote on September 2 on his website Heterodox Academy: “Every open letter you sign to condemn a colleague for his or her words brings us closer to a world in which academic disagreements are resolved by social force and political power not by argumentation and persuasion” It is gratifying to note that the reader comments on the open letter were overwhelmingly critical The letter has “no counterevidence” one reader wrote “no rebuttal to Wax’s arguments just an assertion that she’s wrong This is embarrassing” Another wrote: “This letter is an exercise in self-righteous virtue-signaling that utterly fails to deal with the argument so cogently presented by Wax and Alexander Note to parents if you want your daughter or son to learn to address an argument do not send them to Penn Law” Shortly after the op-ed appeared I ran into a colleague I hadn’t seen for a while and asked how his summer was going He said he’d had a terrible summer and in saying it he looked so serious I thought someone had died He then explained that the reason his summer had been ruined was my op-ed and he accused me of attacking and causing damage to the university the students and the faculty One of my left-leaning friends at Yale Law School found this story funny—who would have guessed an op-ed could ruin someone’s summer But beyond the absurdity note the choice of words: “attack” and “damage” are words one uses with one’s enemies not colleagues or fellow citizens At the very least they are not words that encourage the expression of unpopular ideas They reflect a spirit hostile to such ideas—indeed a spirit that might seek to punish the expression of such ideas I had a similar conversation with a deputy dean She had been unable to sign the open letter because of her official position but she defended it as having been necessary It needed to be written to get my attention she told me so that I would rethink what I had written and understand the hurt I had inflicted and the damage I had done so that I wouldn’t do it again The message was clear: cease the heresy Only half of my colleagues in the law school signed the open letter One who didn’t sent me a thoughtful and lawyerly email explaining how and why she disagreed with particular points in the op-ed We had an amicable email exchange from which I learned a lot—some of her points stick with me—and we remain cordial colleagues That is how things should work Of the 33 who signed the letter only one came to talk to me about it—and I am grateful for that About three minutes into our conversation he admitted that he didn’t categorically reject everything in the op-ed Bourgeois values aren’t really so bad he conceded nor are all cultures equally worthy Given that those were the main points of the op-ed I asked him why he had signed the letter His answer was that he didn’t like my saying in my interview with the Daily Pennsylvanian that the tendency of global migrants to flock to white European countries indicates the superiority of some cultures This struck him as “code” he said for Nazism Well let me state for the record that I don’t endorse Nazism! Furthermore the charge that a statement is “code” for something else or a “dog whistle” of some kind—we frequently hear this charge leveled even against people who are stating demonstrable facts—is unanswerable It is like accusing a speaker of causing emotional injury or feelings of marginalization Using this kind of language which students have learned to do all too well is intended to bring discussion and debate to a stop—to silence speech deemed unacceptable As Humpty Dumpty said to Alice we can make words mean whatever we want them to mean And who decides what is code for something else or what qualifies as a dog whistle Those in power of course—which in academia means the Left My 33 colleagues might have believed they were protecting students from being injured by harmful opinions but they were doing those students no favors Students need the opposite of protection from diverse arguments and points of view They need exposure to them This exposure will teach them how to think As John Stuart Mill said “He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that” I have received more than 1000 emails from around the country in the months since the op-ed was published—mostly supportive some critical and for the most part thoughtful and respectful Many expressed the thought “You said what we are thinking but are afraid to say”—a sad commentary on the state of civil discourse in our society Many urged me not to back down cower or apologize And I agree with them that dissenters apologize far too often Democracy thrives on talk and debate and it is not for the faint of heart I read things every day in the media and hear things every day at my job that I find exasperating and insulting including falsehoods and half-truths about people who are my friends Offense and upset go with the territory they are part and parcel of an open society We should be teaching our young people to get used to these things but instead we are teaching them the opposite Disliking avoiding and shunning people who don’t share our politics is not good for our country We live together and we need to solve our problems together It is also always possible that people we disagree with have something to offer something to contribute something to teach us We ignore this at our peril As Heather Mac Donald wrote in National Review on August 29: “What if the progressive analysis of inequality is wrong and a cultural analysis is closest to the truth If confronting the need to change behavior is punishable ‘hate speech’ then it is hard to see how the country can resolve its social problems” In other words we are at risk of being led astray by received opinion The American way is to conduct free and open debate in a civil manner We should return to doing that on our college campuses and in our society at large” Donald Trump First President in 45 Years to Speak at Pro-life March The President is committed to protecting the life of the unborn and he is excited to be part of this historic event Sarah Sanders the White House press secretary told reporters on Wednesday Family Policy Council Pence called Trump “the most pro-life president in American History” He boasted of a litany of anti-abortion measures by the Trump administration over its first year: Banning federal funds for global health groups that promote abortion under the Mexico City policy defunding the United Nations Population Fund and overturning an Obama administration rule that required states to provide funding for Planned Parenthood Pence predicted that Republican majorities in congress and Trump in the white House would lead to a watershed moment in the coming years ‘I truly believe with all of my heart this is the pro-life generation in American” Pence said “And I truly believe in this generation we will restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law once again” USA Today President Donald Trump says he’s committed to building “a society where life is celebrated protected and cherished” FOX AN IGNOBLE EXCEPTION: The United States is one of a few countries to allow elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy The United States is one of only seven countries that allow for elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy two of the other countries are North Korea and China Research shows unborn babies feel pain as early as 20 weeks to such a degree that anesthesia is routinely administered to unborn babies undergoing in utero surgeries and premature infants of the same age undergoing surgery In the United States taxpayer funding subsidizes 900 health care plans that cover abortions according to the Charlotte Lozier Institute Under the previous administration States were allowed to outlaw pro-life health insurance with impunity COMMITTED TO PROTECTING LIFE: President Donald J Trump has shown his steadfast commitment to preserving the precious gift of life and defending religious liberty President Trump is the first sitting President to address the March for Life live via satellite Vice President Mike Pence addressed the March for Life in 2017 becoming the first sitting Vice President to do so in person Today the Department of Health and Human Services is announcing a proposal to revise its conscience regulations to protect President Trump’s promise to enforce Federal conscience and religious freedom protections The proposed conscience provisions include: Restricting taxpayer funds including Medicare Medicaid and Obamacare from being used by entities with discriminatory policies or practices Protecting Americans who have religious or moral convictions related to certain health care services Recognizing that Americans should not be discriminated against for their religious or moral beliefs when participating in certain health services Just after taking office President Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy which protects 9 billion in foreign aid from being used to fund the global abortion industry President Trump cut off taxpayer funding for the UN Population Fund which colludes with China’s cruel program of forced abortion and sterilization President Trump signed HJ Res 43 into law overturning a midnight regulation by the Obama Administration which prohibited States from defunding certain abortion facilities in their federally-funded family planning programs President Trump has expressed strong support for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act which would stop late-term abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy when science tells us that an unborn child can experience pain President Trump’s Administration issued guidance to enforce the requirement that taxpayer dollars not support abortion coverage in Obamacare exchange plans President Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services just announced the formation of a new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division tasked with ensuring that laws that protect religious freedom and conscience rights are appropriately enforced Family Policy Council West Virginia The DC Swamp Blocks Pro-life Bills by Andy Schlafly Phyllis Schlafly Eagles The Swamp in DC blocks pro-life bills while pretending to be pro-life and endorses pro-abort nominees to the courts while pretending otherwise The problem is not Trump who is the first president ever to fully address the March for Life from the White House The problem is congressional Republican leadership and the phony groups they control such as National Right to Life This week they are blocking a vote on the Heartbeat Bill and instead are going through the charade of pushing a different bill that won’t actually protect any unborn children You don’t have to take my word for it Rep Steve King our finest pro-life leader in Congress and former Rep Tom DeLay our finest pro-life congressman before Steve are both exposing National Right to Life for blocking this good pro-life bill Other real pro-life leaders are speaking out too The Swamp plays its game of pretending to be pro-life while privately blocking real pro-life bills in order to appease pro-abort donors employers of spouses and Fox News The phony pro-lifers think they can continue to treat the real pro-life movement like a cheap date The fakes will all be exposed Republican leadership in Congress passed nothing pro-life in all of 2017 — zero — and our window of opportunity is closing They have eroded the base of the Republican Party and Dems will take over Congress in the midterm elections in 9 months It won’t be Trump’s fault who has done what he can It is Speaker Paul Ryan whose wife is apparently pro-choice Majority Leader McConnell who is apparently pro-choice and the phony pro-life groups in DC Both Ryan and McConnell are expected to resign after losing control of Congress later this year The phony pro-lifers will be discredited and our movement will be stronger without them Personally this is the 10th consecutive year that I’m funding a busload to DC for the March for Life Hope you can fund Marchers too LIBERALS SO INTOLERANT: CNN removed President of Phyllis Schlalfly’s Eagles Ed Martin author of Can’t Trump this 2017: Top Trump

Phyllis Schlalfly Eagles event James O’Keefe is an award-winning journalist and writer He is the founder and President of both Project Veritas and Project Veritas Action non-profit organizations dedicated to investigating corruption dishonesty waste and fraud in both public and private institutions James O’Keefe’s investigations have led directly to the passage of new legislation federal and state investigations congressional inquiries the defunding of taxpayer-funded groups resignations firings restraining’s arrests and disciplinary action O’Keefe’s series of voter fraud exposés inspired several states to reform their election laws forced resignations in Washington and pushed FBI and Department of Justice officials to defend themselves before federal lawmakers His investigation into ACORN led to the group’s collapse He caused a Planned Parenthood Vice President to be fired National Public Radio executives to be fired an Enroll America director to be fired Medicaid worker retraining’s an investigation into Battleground Texas and Congressional field hearings into Obamacare navigator fraud The Nation magazine wrote “O’Keefe’s influence on voting rights opponents and legislators alike is particularly jarring” Slatecom agreed “O’Keefe has had more of an impact on the 2012 election than any other journalist” In 2013 O’Keefe authored New York Times bestseller Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy the inside story of the challenges he faced bringing his powerful new form of guerilla reporting to the forefront In May of 2014 O’Keefe released videos at the Cannes Film Festival showing Hollywood environmentalists agreeing to take money from phony Middle Eastern oil tycoons to fund anti-fracking movies The videos prompted a US Senate investigation into the funding sources of NGOs During the summer of 2014 an investigation by Project Veritas transformed the discussion on national security Dressed as Osama bin Laden James O’Keefe crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into the United States In a follow-up video Project Veritas exposed the lack of security at the northern border as an investigator dressed as an ISIS terrorist crossed Lake Erie into Cleveland In his grilling of officials from the Department of Homeland Security Senator John McCain referenced the investigations as proof of the failure to secure the border Heading into the crucial fall elections of 2014 James O’Keefe launched Project Veritas Action which launched investigations in four key Senate battleground states to expose the hypocrisy of candidates who were saying one thing to the voters and something entirely different to their close supporters All four Senate candidates exposed by O’Keefe lost their races some by incredibly narrow margins In 2015 O’Keefe oversaw the expansion of both Project Veritas and Project Veritas Action providing the vision and direction for projects that increased the training professionalism and reach of both organizations During the expansion both organizations released impactful investigations Most notably Project Veritas conducted investigations of the Veterans Administration political correctness on campus and the corruption within the racial grievance industry Project Veritas Action reported on multiple instances of the Hillary Clinton campaign violating state and federal campaign law During the 2016 election cycle both Project Veritas and Project Veritas Action released videos exposing key Democrats not only admitting that voter fraud exists but also showing how to successfully commit it on a massive scale One result was that a New York City Democratic election commissioner was forced out of his position by Mayor de Blasio and the New York Assembly O’Keefe also released videos exposing how the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton worked with consultants to organize paid protesters at Trump rallies which sometimes erupted in violence The investigation into Democracy Partners caused two key Democratic operatives to resign sparked a response from the White House and caused Donald Trump to bring up the videos in the final presidential debate O’Keefe was ultimately credited with having a significant impact on the 2016 presidential elections for his October Surprise video series In the Summer of 2017 O’Keefe began his American Pravda video investigation series which focused on revealing the bias and hidden motivations at mainstream media companies The American Pravda: CNN series exposing directives to drive a Russia narrative made

Restrooms Katie Koenig shares: In a shocking policy announcement Walgreens has now directed its stores to allow men full and unrestricted access to women’s restrooms in all of its 8100 stores On Nov 17 2017 Walgreens issued a memo stating “All individuals have a right to use restroom facilities that correspond to the individual’s gender identity regardless of the individual’s sex assigned at birth” The policy came as the result of being pressured by the ACLU of Southern Californian Since a similar public policy was announced by Target Stores Inc two years ago dozens of women and children have been victimized by male predators inside Target stores Walgreens’ new policy could potentially result in female customers becoming victims of voyeurism sexual assault and physical attack by unrestrained men Sign our petition urging Walgreens to immediately reverse its dangerous policy that allows men unrestricted access into women’s restrooms To make your voice heard even more please call Walgreen’s corporate office at 800-925-4733 and share your concerns If you are a Walgreen’s customer let your local store manager hear from you If our mission resonates with you please consider
