Islands Folk Festival celebrates 28 years of musical memories next weekend
Ecology and Environment is the green theme of next weekend's Islands Folk Festival.
IFF, in its 28th year at Providence Farm, is toasting its green sheen as an eco-example to other festivals, explained Robert McCourty, artistic director of the hosting Cowichan Folk Guild.
"With site recycling, becoming a zero-waste event is one of our goals and we were one of the first festivals to do so.
"We're putting our money where our theme is."
Ecology is the theme of this year's Islands Songwriting Contest, being judged Friday.
Eco-kids' workshops on the environment are also being hosted by Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright.
"The whole energy is toward music helping sustainability," McCourty said of IFF 28 backed by 400-odd volunteers.
Bass veteran Steve McKinnon has played IFF since 1991, and supports the event's environmental initiatives that have gained strength since then.
"Our festival is a great testament to what the original people (IFF founders) have left," he said, ready for performing-MC duty again this year on the Islands stage — among six venues — under renovations with a B.C. gaming grant.
McKinnon cited light-and-sound quality as key to the festival. "That's what made people come to our festival in the 1990s."
One IFF fan on this year's roster of 50-some acts is iconic coastal troubadour Valdy, who recently earned the Order of Canada.
"The Islands Folk Festival is a delightful," Sir Valdy said of the Friday-to-Sunday arts bash perennially capped at 3,000 tickets.
"There are few festivals left of such a (manageable) human scale. They grow exponentially to take up all available space, and that hasn't happened at the IFF — I don't feel crowded when I'm there."
Neither does McKinnon.
"You can't get too big by virtue of the (Providence) space."
But the site's more than ample to hold a ring of vendors, food sellers, a popular KidsZone, beverage garden and more under the wink of Mt. Tzouhalem.
"Ours is a more intimate setting, a bit more family friendly, with a very good vibe of community and music — and that makes us very special," McCourty said.
Special enough some folks test Cowichan's fest and get hooked.
"I'm still amazed after 28 years some people don't even know we have a folk festival here. Where have they been?
"About 75 % of our attendees are returnees. I'm trying to appeal to that other 25 % — allow yourself to have some fun for a weekend, and you'll have memories for a lifetime."
Memories of scarce parking are becoming history as many folks ride festival shuttles to hear global acts McCourty starts booking a year or more in advance.
"We're comparable to larger festivals — it's a world-class line up."
He applauded Irish musician of the year, Niamh Ni Charra; British and European festival favourite Shooglenifty; Turkish-delight HuDost; Canadian songsmith John Brooks; songbird Mary Gauthier; world-music masters Minor Empire; dynamic folk duo Stephen Fearing and Andy White; Celtic crusaders Rant Maggie Rant; Austin's rockabilly Atomic Duo; and the U.K.'s 100 Mile House mark IFF 28's musical menu with festival-founders Deb Maike, and Mike Ballantyne with the Hokum Steamers.
They're all part of what IFF faithful see as the best little fest in the west.
"We're not getting bigger, we're getting better," McCourty said.

Please note that our repair service extends only to those items that are physically brought into our store location in Madison, Wisconsin, and then physically picked up.

If you feel the component is not worth repairing, we keep the $52.75 for our evaluation time. However, if you decide you want to purchase either a new or used component from us, we will apply the $52.75 as credit, so you are out nothing.
Paragon has more than 40 years experience in repairs with two qualified technicians on staff and we have more than ½ million dollars of parts in our inventory .Here are some examples of audio components we regularly repair:
At times we may even repair antique audio equipment such as antique wind-up phonographs or radios.

B.o.B - Get It
Get It B.o.B
B.o.B comes through with a new self-produced track called "Get It".
B.o.B's Underground Luxury had some pretty big singles in "Ready" and "Headband", but it didn't make all that much of an impact as a full project.
Bobby Ray is now back with some new material, which finds him getting back behind the boards.
"Get It" is built off of a soul sample for Jimmy Cliff, and B.o.B takes the opportunity to show his conscious rap roots.
No word on whether this one will land on a new project from the rapper, but if so it could mean a new direction for his next project.
Look out for more from Bobby in the near future.
Quotable lyrics:
Politics will not
Swing in our favor
'Cause all of us
Are rappers and entertainers

Calderwood is also a target for Nottingham Forest and Hughton has confirmed Blues have been in contact with Hibs to express their interest in the Scotsman. Chris Hughton: "It has been mentioned regarding Colin. "We have had dialogue with the Hibs chairman and from that point we have done absolutely everything right. "We are very conscious that he is their manager, very much so. "Most people are very aware that I took Colin to Newcastle. "He's somebody I know very well, he's a very good coach and of course I would like to bring him here. But I go back to saying that we are very, very conscious that he's the Hibs manager."

Abbot Point for sale
PUBLISHED: 30 Oct 2010 00:10:00 | UPDATED: 02 Nov 2010 05:02:42PUBLISHED: 01 Nov 2010 PRINT EDITION: 30 Oct 2010Report Mark Ludlow and Jenny Wiggins
The Queensland government has called for expressions of interest to operate the $2 billion Abbot Point coal terminal in north Queensland.
The call on Friday came as the QR National sales process reached the halfway point ahead of its listing on the Australian Securities Exchange on November 22.
The winning tender for the 99-year lease for the terminal – which is part of the Bligh government's $16 billion privatisation program – will be announced before the end of the financial year.
The sale will go ahead as a "landlord model", wherein the state retains ownership of the port and the land. It is the same model being used for the sale of the Port of Brisbane, which closed earlier this week.
The capacity of the terminal, near Bowen, is being doubled to 50 million tonnes a year. It is a crucial export hub for coal from the Bowen Basin, but could also be used for the untapped Galilee Basin in central Queensland.
Treasurer Andrew Fraser said the lease offered investors a business with long-term take-or-pay contracts. "This is a nationally significant piece of commercial infrastructure that will be best developed and expanded by the private sector," Mr Fraser said.
"Our market soundings show we can expect strong interest from both specialist buyers linked to the coal mining industry and infrastructure and pension funds."
It's too early to tell whether some of the companies involved in the failed industry bid for Qld's coal tracks, such as BHP Billiton, Xstrata or Rio Tinto, would be interested in the terminal.
Indian port operator Adani Group, which was being touted as a potential buyer of the $2 billion Port of Brisbane, has ruled out bidding for Abbot Point, saying the landlord model was "less attractive" than full ownership.
"We will not bid for the landlord port of Abbot Point, but we are interested in the terminal as an operator," Adani Group executive chairman Gautam Adani told The Australian Financial Review earlier this month.
Meanwhile, QR National chief executive Lance Hockridge and chief financial officer Deborah O'Toole head to London and Edinburgh after briefing investors in Hong Kong, Singapore and Frankfurt on the first week of the international float roadshow.
Next week they will meet investors in London and Edinburgh before travelling to the US.
Merrill Lynch, one of QR National's joint lead advisers on the float, told The Weekend AFR the roadshow had attracted a strong reception from investors drawn to its infrastructure characteristics and exposure to the Asian and Australian growth in iron ore and coal.
QR National offered investors the "downside" protection of a utility combined with the growth story of the Australian resource sector. Rupert Hume-Kendall, Merrill Lynch's chairman of global capital markets, said: "It is quite a unique play."
Mr Hume-Kendall said the float would benefit from a resurgence in initial public offerings. "The order books for IPOs globally are currently stronger than at any other time this year," he said. "There is universal interest in the roadshow across all markets."
Both China and India are seeing a boom in IPOs this year as Asian economies expand, with Coal India's $3.5 billion IPO heavily oversubscribed.

Here's the thing about summer: It's waaay easier to fit fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet — sometimes, without really trying. But it's also way easier to fit in more BBQs, cook-outs, picnics, after-work cocktails, etc. So for many of us, by the end of the summer, our bodies need a break.
Sound familiar?
Enter the Spark! Wellness Reboot, a 5-day detox designed with YOU in mind. Well, to be fair, it was originally designed by me and fellow health coach Andrea Moss so that we could gently detox a few times a year. But it worked so well that we decided to make it available to all. (Good thing, cause it was named one of the top three cleanses in NYC!)
When I said "detox," I don't mean one of those crazy diets where you have nothing but lemon juice and cayenne pepper or are hungry all the time. Au contraire.

Colorado Springs Utilities is holding a series of public meetings to help develop a long term strategic plan for how electricity is generated locally.
The last time the plan was updated was in 2008, "The economic landscape has changed, the number of mandates has changed as far as what could be required when it comes to renewable standards. So there's a lot of changes already just since 2008 that we need to go back to our customers and go back to the plan and do a pretty thorough update of it," says Steve Berry with Colorado Springs Utilities.
The first of 3 meetings is tomorrow night from 5:30-7:00 at the Penrose Library in the Carnegie room.
If you can't go to the meeting you can also let them know what you think on their Facebook page, just click here.

Fire officials credit Woman with saving neighbor from burning home
Woman broke window to alert neighbor to fire
INDIANAPOLIS - A woman was credited with saving the life of her neighbor whose home caught fire early Sunday morning.
Indianapolis fire Capt. Rita Burris said crews from IFD and the Beech Grove Fire Department were called to a home at the intersection of Southeastern Avenue and Fisher Road just before 1:30 a.m.
"Michelle Hargraves was notified by her children that the neighbor's house was on fire," Burris said in a news release. "Springing into action, Michelle ran next door and tried to kick in the door to no avail."
Burris said Hargraves, 44, then broke a window in the home with her hand and climbed into the home, running to a back bedroom to wake Lois Sprinkle, 70.
"Without working smoke detectors, Lois was unaware of the heavy fire in her garage," Burris said.
The women got out of the home through the front door. Hargraves was treated for cuts to her hand from breaking the window. Sprinkle was not injured.
The fire began in the garage of the home. Damage was estimated at $70,000.
Fire officials stressed the importance of maintaining working smoke detectors in homes.

MEDFORD, Ore. — A local baby is fighting liver cancer and her family is asking for help. Madison Powell was crowned the "Chubbiest Baby" in this year's Pear Blossom Contest. She was diagnosed just three weeks after winning that title. Her family held a car wash Saturday to try and gather support from the community. Madison was put in an induced coma for six days to recover from a biopsy and then began chemotherapy shortly after. Medical bills are piling up and family members say they expect treatment to last for years to come.
"In our world today, it seems sometimes we're just so alone in this world of millions of people. But when you need help, people really come through and that's what we have seen," said Madison's father Joseph Powell.
There is a donation account set up for Madison on GoFundMe.com and also at any Wells Fargo Bank. For more information, click here.

When Max Frost speaks, people listen!
Far from Wall Street, in a suburb of Green Bay, investment adviser Max Frost gave some bold advice on this day a year ago.
In a column for his local newspaper, Frost took note of September's cursed history. Given the unwillingness of banks to lend money, he warned at the time, "Houses won't be built, businesses won't expand, consumer goods will not be purchased."
His conclusion: Sell. "If you're not shorting this market, at least put some of it in cash. You can always buy it back."
Today, Frost remains pessimistic, especially after stock prices kept climbing over the past few months.
"This market has gone up like a bad moonshot, without enough money to get to the moon," he said in an interview last week. "Everything's gotten too highly valued."
It is, after all, almost September, Frost observed: Look out below.

the (fashion) perks of being a wallflower…
Emma Watson is simply adorable as Sam in the new movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Not only does she truly shine in her portrayal of the restless high school senior, but she absolutely nails the look. From the haircut to the shoes, she mixes angsty with stylish flair and gives us a little insight to this season's fall fashion trends. More >

Finally, My J.Crew Ponte Pants
The funny looking Jodhpur pant is all over this year's runway and leggings have become a bit too …well, blah. At last, the perfect in-between that has it all, the J.Crew Jersey-knit (Ponte) pant. Then in good fashion, Vogue features this sleek black ankle pant and there it appears– the dreaded waiting list. I hopped online first thing in September (ordering 2 sizes to make sure at least 1 fit) and finally on the last day of November they arrived. It was well worth the wait they are everything I wanted them to be: slim, midweight, yoke details on the inside of the legs, and the perfect gold exposed-zipper up the back. They look amazing day or night, with a patent flat or a 4-inch pump. I wore mine out on the town with a hammered satin top, over-sized jewels, and killer heels. Their ease and versatility dub them this season's must have staple!

Most store managers, district managers and directors started their careers on the front lines. There are many ways to get a store management position. The first thing you need is a job in a retail environment so that you can learn the skills needed to manager a store.
Larger companies will have in-house training departments that will enhance your skill set. Making the transition from assistant to manager can be the toughest promotion to get, as many people in these positions are overlooked when a management position becomes available.
If you would like to take control of your training yourself you could opt to take some courses and ramp up your resume yourself.

Spotted some Singapore Air Show posters at Changi AirportMRT station. Quite like the clever 'Top Fun' movie theme they've adopted forthe show, although those two Leopard II tanks look as if they are about to rundown that family.
Also checked the Air Show web site and so far there is noindication that the two F-22s shown in the poster will be performing a flyingdisplay. The F-35 is listed on static, but don't be fooled: it will likely be the1:1 model version that Lockheed trots out for air shows. My colleague Firdaus (@fhavg) just told methat SIA's last Boeing 747-400 will be on static at the show. That's cool.
Flightglobal will have a big team at the show and a stand aswell. We'll be writing plenty of stories for the web site, as well producing aninteractive daily. Also keep your eyesout for our show report on Thursday with all the big and small stories from theshow.

The headline is a bit misleading. Older guys still have a low STD risk rate-it is is just growing relative to other populations.
I haven't checked out this journal reference yet. What I remember from elsewhere:
there are serious claims that viagra etc. may have a slight increase in per coital risk of STD transmission when other factors are held constant.
This is a rather tricky area of research in part because of the drug interactions are complicated.
Also, this study didn't compare per coital risk of viagra users vs. non-users. It is entirely plausible to me that viagra users simply have more sex.
The question in part becomes:
what kind of STD prevention techniques are appropriate for older folks?
I personally think it is _nutty_ to promote old fashioned male condoms in that population. If guys are having troubles with erections, that male condom isn't going to help that problem at all.
My own favorites for STD/STI reduction in this population include:
a) promotion of use of female condoms(which really can make a huge
difference for guys with an erectile problem)
b) more frequent testing among older men and their partners
c) increased education(i.e. training folks to spot risk factors and STD

Foliar Fertilization
Okay, so I was reading up on BER and foliar feeding. Not because I am having a problem, but because a friend of mine (a woman of the young age of about 80, but I'm not about to ask) said it works better than feeding in the ground. I figured that was BS, but didn't want to call her on it. I do respect my elders. In fact, I was under the impression that foliar feeding is practically useless and a waste of money. However, I did want to see scientific evidence one way or another. Okay, I wanted to see scientific evidence that I was right, but anyway. . . I don't think I am. I'm fairly certain she was wrong about it being better, but I think I definitely underestimated the effectiveness of foliar fertilization.
I found articles online that support foliar fertilization from Purdue and the USDA. I'm only posting one from Purdue
, though. You can google "foliar fertilization USDA" or insert whatever group you wish in place of USDA to get scholarly articles. There was also an interesting article on foliar feeding in wikipedia. I try to avoid using it as a source, though. I just use it as a spring board.
So, have any of you had success with foliar feeding? I mean, noticeable success?
Could it be more effective to foliar feed large plants like Brandywine tomatoes with micronutrients to make sure the entire plant gets them?
Since calcium deficiency is mostly a delivery issue and rarely has to do with a lack of it in the nutrient solution - rendering the purchase of CalMag as a reservoir supplement essentially a waste of money - would it be most effective to deliver that calcium via foliar feeding to prevent BER?
If so, how much should be applied and at what concentration?
No. Your nutrient line needs to have the all the micro and macro nutrients, including the secondary macro Ca. If you use a Ca+Mg product you wont even have to know what BER is.
Here is an example: 3-part(macro/micro) Additional Ca/Mg my be needed!
Cleaner (H2o2)
poultry manure (used as foliar spray it helps build up plants immune system. When using only synthetic nutrients plants cell walls become thin allowing pests/deseases to take over. I use the best of both worlds.)
Hope this helps.
Hopefully, we get more responses regarding foliar feeding, but let me address your opinion on cal-mag products. . .
Despite recent opinions, I'm not stroking my ego here. However, I have to point out that you are mistaken in stating that using a cal-mag product "you won't even have to know what BER is." It's a verifiable, already proven fact that BER occurs under certain conditions no matter how much calcium is in your medium/soil. BER occurs in Indiana soil despite the fact that we have more calcium in our soil than just about any place on the planet. BER is a transport issue in most cases. Not a nutrient solution deficiency issue. If you put cal mag in your solution with high water temps and low oxygen, the plant will still not transport the calcium sufficiently. If your EC is too high, again, the plant will not take up the calcium sufficiently. If you try to compensate by lowering your EC too much, your fruits will split and BER won't be your problem. Fungus will be. (That's a GREAT reason to use an EC meter despite, again, recent opinions on this forum.) Calcium is immobile. So, if the plant isn't able to take up calcium, it will not be able to pull from other parts of the plant, either. That's the whole point of the thread. Can we compensate for reduced transportation in adverse weather conditions by foliar feeding?
There are tricks that many of us use to attempt prevention of transportation issues, such as filling half gallon or gallon milk jugs with water and freezing them so that we can add them to hot rez's. Unfortunately, that is very temporary. Some people have the option of burying the rez in the soil to reduce temps. Not an option if your garden is on concrete, which mine is. I use the ice method and keep my water recirculating. I've also eliminated BER almost entirely. But, it takes some diligence if your hot weather is constant and long lasting. Prior to this, I used cal mag with unsatisfactory results due to reading too much marketing and forum posts based on said marketing rather than consulting scholarly sources. I've learned my lesson on just listening to anecdotal evidence and marketing material, but anecdotal evidence sure is a good starting point when there is enough of it. Hell, I wouldn't have looked into foliar feeding more deeply if it weren't for the anecdotal evidence of a wise woman, for example.
Another thing on BER: Not all varieties of tomatoes are the same and suffer the same. For example, San Marzano Romas will develop BER a lot faster than Brandywines, in my experience. Cherries, I have never had BER on cherry tomatoes, so I'm guessing they are less affected. Vining plants get BER more than bush plants. I assume it's due to the continued vegetative growth which means more calcium goes to leaves than filling fruit, but I don't know for certain.
Why would you have problems with ph in a properly maintianed system?
Again, Controlled enviroment hydropoinics wont have any problems that would cause plants not to be able to uptake (Ca). You just have to ballance ph and ppm.
Growing wont be so confusing if your set up is perfect.
Are you growing outside hydroponics?
Not sure why this has not had any responses.
Yes, I do grow outside. I definitely should have mentioned that as you are right, it makes a very big difference. Particularly with BER. You don't have near the control you have indoors. Outside you have wind, sun, rain, and varying temps to contend with. I know there are several people on here that also grow outdoors and therefore have to deal with the variables outdoor growing inevitably presents.
I definitely agree that a chiller is a very good option. Many people simply can't afford them or have trouble justifying the expense. I've been seriously debating with myself over the expenditure (and wondering how I'll sell it on my non-gardening wife). As of now, the ice works fine for me (which makes the sell on my wife even harder). I have extra space in my freezer since the space of last year's harvest has yet to be replaced by this year's. But, again, not everyone has this as an option, either. I'm mainly just trying to explore the potential of using Cal-Mag as a foliar spray and wondering if others have found it effective.
By the way, an update on that. . . I have been using it as a foliar spray for the last 3 weeks (about 2 days before I started the thread). I am only using it on half the plants. None have BER, but the tomatoes and cucumbers sprayed have significantly greener/lusher foliage. Also, the tomatoes that aren't getting it are showing signs of calcium/magnesium deficiencies in the leaves. The edges are "burnt" and the lower leaves are showing some obvious mag deficiency. Just for kicks, I have been spraying half the petunias that have obvious iron deficiency. I'm using Cal-Mag Plus, by the way. It has just a little iron. The half I have sprayed are completely devoid of chlorosis. The other half are showing very distinct signs of iron deficiency, which is normal in many petunia species in Indiana where the soil pH is high. I'm also using the stuff on peppers, but I am seeing no significant difference between the ones I am spraying and the ones I am not. I'll try to get some pics posted so you see what I mean concerning the differences. I am using GH dry bloom solution for nutrients.
When you mentioned poultry spray, you didn't mention a concentration. What process do you use to mix it and at what concentration? Do you aerate it? Do you let a bag sit in water for a certain amount of time? Do you sterilize it first? I've read and heard of many different methods. Some say manure sprays are a really bad idea due to the salmonella (chicken) and ecoli (mostly from cow manure). I have read that the salmonella in particular can penetrate the skin of fruits and therefore washing is not effective in removal of it, but I don't think I read that in any scientific study. It was on CNN.com during an outbreak and I can't remember the article or their source. It may be a bs claim. However, I do know that food poisoning is the reason there are very strict rules on the use of manure as a fertilizer for organic certification. Below is a link to the Organic Trade Association, but the same rule is repeated in every cert program I've seen, so far.
Here is a link that might be useful: OTA info on manure guidelines

Hearing Loss: Hearing Aid Technology
Guest: Dr. Paul Lambert – Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery, MUSC
Host: Dr. Linda Austin – Psychiatry, MUSC
Dr. Linda Austin: I'm Dr. Linda Austin. I'm interviewing Dr. Paul Lambert, Professor of Otolaryngology and chairman of the department here at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Lambert, let's talk about hearing aids, and especially new technology in that area. What's new on the horizon?
Dr. Paul Lambert: Thank you, Linda. Certainly, hearing loss is a very common problem that affects, literally, millions and millions of Americans. Most people can find great benefit from traditional hearing aids. And the traditional hearing aids are becoming more and more sophisticated as electronics are miniaturized; digital technology, just tremendous differences between our hearing aids today and ones even three years ago.
Occasionally, however, a hearing loss is so profound that a hearing aid is of no benefit. Now, if that hearing loss is present on both sides, a cochlear implant would be the procedure of choice, and it would restore good hearing; hearing sufficient that a person could talk and understand over a telephone in almost all cases. If, on the other hand, the person has good hearing in one ear and simply lost hearing on the other side, a cochlear implant, in that case, would not be the procedure of choice. And there is a new type of hearing aid that has been developed specifically for that problem. It's called a bone anchored hearing aid, or BAHA.
The BAHA picks up sound on the deaf side and transfers that sound information, through the skull bone, to the other ear; the hearing ear. So, for example, a person who is totally deaf in the right ear could hear someone whispering to them on the right side, but they would actually be hearing it on the left side. The technology is very straight forward. It does require a minor surgical procedure, where a titanium post is placed into the bone behind the ear. That has to heal for about three months. And once that has been completed, the external part, the hearing aid itself, is attached to that post, much like the snap on a pair of jeans; it just snaps onto that post. It's behind the ear; nothing actually goes in the ear, beneath the hair, so it's cosmetically almost invisible. A person would take it off when they shower or swim, and then snap it back on when they needed to hear.
It doesn't help as much with direction of sound, or in a very noisy room, such as a crowded restaurant, or at a party. But for most other situations, patients describe it as being simply remarkable. A lot of times when people have lost hearing on one side, they will relate the fact that that side of their body almost doesn't exist. So, if, again, it's the right ear, they will tell me that the right side of their world simply doesn't exist, because they just don't hear anything on that side. But with this BAHA in place, it opens up that entire half of their world that they were missing. It's a great technology, very straight forward. The surgery, as an outpatient, takes half an hour to do, and people smile when they come back.
Dr. Linda Austin: And I bet you smile too. How expensive is the procedure, as well as the hearing aid itself?
Dr. Paul Lambert: Well, it's interesting. Insurance, governmental or private insurance, doesn't pay in the vast majority of cases for hearing aids. Now, because this hearing aid does involve a surgical procedure, they do cover this. Medicare and private insurance, for the most part, do cover this. So it's actually probably less expensive than buying a hearing aid. But, again, it would be for the person who had lost so much hearing on one side, with the other ear being good, that conventional hearing aids simply do not work.
Dr. Linda Austin: So, in other words, partial hearing loss on one side, that person wouldn't really qualify for that?
Dr. Paul Lambert: We would try a conventional hearing aid first and hope that would do the trick, if not, potentially the BAHA type.
Dr. Linda Austin: Anything else new on the horizon that you can tell us about?
Dr. Paul Lambert: Well, that is the newest from hearing aid technology.
Dr. Linda Austin: Thanks so much for talking with us.
Dr. Paul Lambert: Thank you.

The state funeral of John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, took place in Washington, D.C. during the three days that followed his assassination on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.[1]
The body of President Kennedy was brought back to Washington and placed in the East Room of the White House for 24 hours.[2][3] On the Sunday after the assassination, his flag-draped coffin was carried on a horse-drawn caisson to the U.S. Capitol to lie in state.[4] Throughout the day and night, hundreds of thousands lined up to view the guarded casket.[5]
Representatives from over 90 countries attended the state funeral on Monday, November 25.[6] After the Requiem Mass at St. Matthew's Cathedral, the late president was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.[7] Kennedy is the most recent president to have died in office.
After John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, his body was flown back to Washington,[8] and on arrival, it was taken to Bethesda Naval Hospital for the autopsy.[9][10] At the same time, military authorities started planning his state funeral.[11] Army Major General Philip C. Wehle, the commanding general of the Military District of Washington (MDW) (CG MDW), and retired Army Colonel Paul C. Miller, chief of ceremonies and special events at the MDW, planned the funeral.[12][13]
They headed to the White House and worked with the president's brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver, also director of the Peace Corps, and Ralph Dungan, an aide to the president.[12][14] Because Kennedy had no funeral plan in place, much of the planning rested with the CG MDW.[12] House Speaker John W. McCormack said that the president's body would be brought back to the White House to lie in the East Room the following day and then taken to the Capitol to lie in state in the rotunda all day Sunday.[15]
The day after the assassination, the new president, Lyndon B. Johnson, issued Presidential Proclamation 3561, declaring Monday to be a national day of mourning,[16][17] and only essential emergency workers to be at their posts.[18][19] He read the proclamation over a nationwide radio and television broadcast at 4:45 p.m. from the Fish Room at the White House.[16][20]
Several elements of the state funeral paid tribute to Kennedy's service in the Navy during World War II.[21] They included a member of the Navy bearing the presidential flag,[21] the playing of the Navy Hymn, "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," and the Naval Academy Glee Club performing at the White House.[22] The hymn "O God of Loveliness" was played as the casket was brought down the Capitol steps; "The Barren Rocks of Aden" as it was brought to the White House, and "Ave Maria" when it arrived at St. Matthew's Church.[23][24]
After the autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital, Kennedy's body was prepared for burial by embalmers from Gawler's Funeral Home in Washington, who performed the embalming and cosmetic restoration procedures at Bethesda instead of the funeral home.[25][26][27] The body was then put in a coffin made of 500-year old African mahogany,[25][28] as some of the handles and ornaments on the bronze one that carried the body from Dallas had been damaged en route.[25] The body of President Kennedy was returned to the White House at nearly 4:30 a.m., Saturday, November 23.[29] The motorcade bearing the remains was met at the White House gate by a Marine honor guard, which escorted it to the North Portico.
The pallbearers bore the casket to the East Room where, nearly one hundred years earlier, the body of Abraham Lincoln had lain.[27][30] Kennedy's casket was placed on a catafalque previously used for the funerals of the Unknown Soldiers from the Korean War and World War II at Arlington.[31] Jacqueline Kennedy declared that the casket would be kept closed for the duration of the viewing and funeral. The shot to Kennedy's head left a gaping wound,[32] and religious leaders said that a closed casket minimized morbid concentration on the corpse.[33]
Mrs. Kennedy, still wearing the blood-stained raspberry-colored suit she wore in Dallas, had not left the side of her husband's body since his death.[34] Only after the casket was placed in the East Room, draped with black crepe,[35] did she retire to her private quarters.[36]
Kennedy's body lay in repose in the East Room for 24 hours,[3][37] attended by an honor guard that included troops from the 3rd Infantry and from the Army's Special Forces (Green Berets).[38][39] The Special Forces troops had been brought hurriedly from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, at the request of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who was aware of his brother's particular interest in them.[39]
Mrs. Kennedy requested that two Catholic priests remain with the body until the official funeral. A call was made to The Catholic University of America, and Msgr. Robert Paul Mohan and Fr. Gilbert Hartke, two prominent Washington, D.C. priests, were immediately dispatched for the task.[40] A Mass was said in the East Room at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 23.[41] After the Mass, other family members, friends, and other government officials came at specified times to pay their respects,[42] including former U.S. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower. The other surviving former U.S. president at the time, Herbert Hoover, was too ill to attend,[43] and was represented by his sons, Herbert Hoover Jr. who also attended the funeral, and Allan Hoover went to the services in the rotunda.[44][45]
Outside the White House and in Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House, crowds stood in the rain, keeping a vigil and paying quiet respects.[46][47] It rained all day in Washington, befitting the mood of the nation.[48][49]
On Sunday afternoon about 300,000 people watched a horse-drawn caisson, which had borne the body of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Unknown Soldier, carry Kennedy's flag-covered casket down the White House drive, past parallel rows of soldiers bearing the flags of the 50 states of the Union, then along Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol Rotunda to lie in state.[50] The only sounds on Pennsylvania Avenue as the cortège made its way to the Capitol were the sounds of the muffled drums and the clacking of horses' hooves, including the riderless horse Black Jack.[51]
The widow, holding her two children by the hand, led the public mourning for the country.[52][53] In the rotunda, Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter Caroline knelt beside the casket, which rested on the Lincoln catafalque.[54] Three-year-old John Jr. was briefly taken out of the rotunda so as not to disrupt the service.[53] Mrs. Kennedy maintained her composure as her husband was taken to the Capitol to lie in state, as well as during the memorial service.[53]
Brief eulogies were delivered inside the rotunda by Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, Chief Justice Earl Warren, and Speaker McCormack.[55]
Kennedy was the first president in more than 30 years to lie in state in the rotunda, the previous one being the only president to ever serve as chief justice, William Howard Taft, in 1930.[56] He was also the first Democrat to lie in state at the Capitol.[57]
In the only public viewing, hundreds of thousands lined up in near-freezing temperatures to view the casket.[58] Over the span of 18 hours, 250,000 people, some waiting for as long as 10 hours in a line up to 10 persons wide that stretched 40 blocks, over nearly 10 miles,[59] personally paid their respects as Kennedy's body lay in state.[60] Capitol police officers politely reminded mourners to keep moving along in two lines that passed on either side of the casket and exited the building on the west side facing the National Mall.[51][58]
The original plan was for the rotunda to close at 9:00 p.m. and reopen for an hour at 9:00 the next morning.[61] Because of long lines however, police and military authorities decided to keep the doors open.[61] At 9:00 p.m., when the rotunda was supposed to close, both Jacqueline Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy returned to the rotunda again.[62][63] More than half the mourners came to the rotunda after 2:45 a.m., by which time 115,000 had already visited.[51] Military officials doubled the lines, first to two abreast, then to four abreast.[58]
NBC broadcast uninterrupted coverage of the people passing through the Capitol rotunda during the overnight hours.[64][65] While anchoring the Today show from an NBC Washington studio the next day, Hugh Downs said that the mass numbers made it "the greatest and most solemn wake in history."[66] CBS Washington correspondent Roger Mudd said of the mass numbers: "This outpouring of affection and sympathy for the late president is probably the most majestic and stately ceremony the American people can perform."[67] Jersey Joe Walcott, a former heavyweight boxing champion, passed by the bier at 2:30 a.m.[67] and agreed with Mudd, saying of Kennedy, "He was a great man."[68]
As Kennedy lay in state, foreign dignitaries—including heads of state and government and members of royal families—started to arrive in Washington to attend the state funeral on Monday.[69] Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other State Department personnel went to both of Washington's commercial airports to personally greet foreign dignitaries.[70][71][72]
Some of the dignitaries that arrived on Sunday to attend the funeral included Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan,[73] French President Charles de Gaulle, Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, The Duke of Edinburgh representing Queen Elizabeth II, British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home, Irish President Éamon de Valera, and Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie.[74]
Queen Frederika of Greece, and King Baudouin I of the Belgians were just some of the other members of royalty attending. Some law enforcement officials, including MPDC Chief Robert V. Murray, later said that it was the biggest security nightmare they ever faced.[70][75]
As people were viewing the casket, military authorities held meetings at the White House, at MDW headquarters, and at Arlington National Cemetery to plan Monday's events.[76] First, they decided that the public viewing should end at 9:00 a.m. EST and that the ceremonies would begin at 10:30 a.m. EST.[77][78] On Sunday evening the State Department issued its Official Narrative of Events for November 25:
Unlike Sunday's procession, which was led by only the muffled drum corps,[80] Monday's was expanded to include other military units.[81][82][83] Military officials also agreed to requests from Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline Kennedy.[76] They agreed that the Marine Band should lead the funeral procession,[76] which would include two foreign military units—pipers from the Scottish Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) marching from the White House to St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Cathedral, a group of 26 Irish Defence Forces cadets—at the request of Mrs. Kennedy—performing silent drill at the grave site, and placement of an eternal flame at the grave.[84] The cadets came from the Curragh Camp, County Kildare.[83][85] The cadets traveled with Irish President Éamon de Valera, and together they paid tribute to Kennedy's Irish ancestry.[83]
Approximately one million people lined the route of the funeral procession, from the Capitol back to the White House, then to St. Matthew's Cathedral, and finally to Arlington National Cemetery.[86][87][88] Millions more—almost the entire population of America—followed the funeral on television.[86][89] Those who watched the funeral on television were the only ones who saw the ceremony in its entirety.[90] The three networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, used at least 50 cameras for the joint coverage in order to allow viewers to follow the proceedings in their entirety from the Capitol to Arlington.[91] In addition, the networks' Washington bureau chiefs (Bob Fleming at ABC, Bill Monroe at NBC, and Bill Small at CBS) moved correspondents and cameras to keep them ahead of the cortège.[91][92]
The day's events began at 8:25 a.m.,[93] when the MPDC cut off the line of mourners waiting to get into the rotunda. They did so because a large group tried to break into the line and the MPDC were not able to sort out those who had already been in line, many of whom had waited for five hours.[58][94] Thirty-five minutes, later, the doors closed, ending the lying in state; the last visitors passed through at 9:05 a.m.[93]
At 10:00 a.m., both houses of Congress met to pass resolutions expressing sorrow.[95][96] In the Senate, Maine Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith laid a single rose on the desk Kennedy had occupied when in the Senate.[97]
Earlier that morning the State Department also issued the following directive:
After Jacqueline Kennedy and her brothers-in-law, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy, visited the rotunda, the coffin was carried out onto the caisson.[78] At 10:50, the caisson left the Capitol.[99] Ten minutes later, the procession began,[93] making its way back to the White House. As the procession reached the White House, all the military units except for the Marine company turned right off Pennsylvania Avenue and onto 17th Street.[100] A platoon of the Marine company turned in the northeast gate and led the cortege into the North Portico.[100]
At the White House, the procession resumed on foot to St. Matthew's Cathedral, led by Jacqueline Kennedy and the late president's brothers, Robert and Edward (Ted) Kennedy. They walked the same route that John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy often used when going to Mass at the cathedral.[101] This also marked the first time that a first lady walked in her husband's funeral procession.[102] The two Kennedy children rode in a limousine behind their mother and uncles.[103] The rest of the Kennedy family, apart from the president's father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., who was ill,[104] waited at the cathedral.[105]
The new president Lyndon B. Johnson, his wife Lady Bird, and their two daughters Luci and Lynda also marched in the procession.[68] Johnson had been advised not to do so because of the potential risk in the wake of Kennedy's assassination.[106] Johnson recounted his experiences in his memoirs, saying, "I remember marching behind the caisson to St. Matthew's Cathedral. The muffled rumble of drums set up a heartbreaking echo."[107]
Merle Miller quoted him as having said, "Walking in the procession was especially one of the most difficult decisions I had to make," but it was something he "could do, should do, would do, and did so."[106] When he moved into the Oval Office the next day, there was a letter from Mrs. Kennedy on his desk[106] in which she thanked him for marching in the procession.[106]
Not since the funeral of Britain's King Edward VII, in 1910, had there been such a large gathering of presidents, prime ministers, and royalty at a state funeral.[108][109] In all, 220 foreign dignitaries, including 19 heads of state and government, and members of royal families from 92 countries, five international agencies, and the papacy attended the funeral.[110] Most of the dignitaries passed unnoticed, following respectfully behind the former first lady and the Kennedy family during the relatively short walk to the cathedral along Connecticut Avenue.[6]
As the dignitaries marched, there was a heavy security presence because of concerns for the potential assassination of so many world leaders,[111][112] the greatest being for French President Charles de Gaulle.[113] Under Secretary of State George Ball manned the operations center at the State Department with the goal of ensuring that no incident occurred.[114]
NBC transmitted coverage of the procession from the White House to the cathedral by satellite to twenty-three countries, including Japan and the Soviet Union,[91] allowing hundreds of millions on both sides of the Iron Curtain in Europe to watch the funeral.[115] Satellite coverage ended when the coffin went into the cathedral.[116] In the Soviet Union, their commentators said that "the grief of the Soviet people mingles with the grief of the American people."[116] There was no coverage in East Germany, where television audiences had only a soccer match to watch.[116]
The widow, wearing a black veil, led the way up the steps of the cathedral holding the hands of her two children, with John Jr., whose third birthday fell on the day of his father's funeral,[103] on her left, and Caroline on her right.[108] Because of the funeral and the day of mourning, the widow postponed John Jr.'s birthday party until December 5, the last day the family was in the White House.[117]
About 1,200 invited guests attended the funeral Mass in the cathedral.[118] The Archbishop of Boston, Richard Cardinal Cushing, celebrated the Pontifical Requiem Low Mass at the cathedral where Kennedy, a practicing Catholic, often worshipped.[119] Cardinal Cushing was a close friend of the family who had witnessed and blessed the marriage of Senator Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953.[120] He had also baptized two of their children, given the invocation at President Kennedy's inauguration, and officiated at the recent funeral of their infant son, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy.[120]
At the request of the First Lady, the Requiem Mass was a Low Mass[121]—that is, a simplified version of the Mass, with the Mass recited or spoken and not sung.[121] Two months later, Cardinal Cushing offered a pontifical Solemn High Requiem Mass at Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston, with the city's orchestra and choir singing Mozart's Requiem setting.[122]
There was no formal eulogy at the Low Requiem Mass. (The first presidential funeral to feature a formal eulogy was that of L.B.J. in 1973.)[123][124] However, the Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Washington, the Most Reverend Philip M. Hannan, decided to read selections from Kennedy's writings and speeches.[123] The readings included a passage from the third chapter of Ecclesiastes: "There is an appointed time for everything...a time to be born and a time to die...a time to love and a time to hate...a time of war and a time of peace."[120] He then concluded his remarks by reading Kennedy's entire Inaugural Address.[125]
Jacqueline Kennedy requested that Luigi Vena sing Georges Bizet's "Agnus Dei", as he had at her wedding to John F. Kennedy ten years prior. Instead, he was told to sing Pie Jesu and Franz Schubert's Ave Maria after the offertory.[126] For a few moments, she lost her composure and sobbed as this music filled the cathedral.[6]
The casket was borne again by caisson on the final leg to Arlington National Cemetery for burial.[127] Moments after the casket was carried down the front steps of the cathedral, Jacqueline Kennedy whispered to her son, after which he saluted his father's coffin;[128] the image, taken by photographer Stan Stearns,[129] became an iconic representation of the 1960s. The children were deemed to be too young to attend the final burial service, so this was the point where the children said goodbye to their father.[130]
Virtually everyone else followed the caisson in a long line of black limousines passing by the Lincoln Memorial and crossing the Potomac River. Many of the military units did not participate in the burial service and left just after crossing the Potomac.[131] Because the line of cars taking the foreign dignitaries was long, the last cars carrying the dignitaries left St. Matthew's as the procession entered the cemetery.[127][132] The burial services had already begun when the last car arrived.[118] Security guards walked beside the cars carrying the dignitaries, with the one carrying the French president having the most—10.[87][113]
At the end of the burial services, the widow lit an eternal flame to burn continuously over his grave.[118] At 3:34 p.m. EST, the casket containing his remains was lowered into the earth as "Kennedy slipped out of mortal sight—out of sight but not out of heart and mind."[127] Kennedy thus became only the second president to be buried at Arlington, after William Howard Taft, which meant that, at that time, the two most recent presidents to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda were buried at Arlington.[56][133] Kennedy was buried at Arlington exactly two weeks to the day he last visited there, when he came for Veterans Day observances.[133][134]
