(Eunice, Louisiana) A teacher formerly at Eunice High School, Jacqueline "Jackie" Fruge, has been accused of texting sexual messages and photos to a student while employed at the school.
Fruge faces a charge of prohibited sexual contact between an educator and student. According to Eunice Police Deputy Chief Varden Guillory Sr., Fruge has also been accused of having an affair with the school principal.
During the investigation, detectives learned that students were aware of the texts and reported it to the school's principal, Guillory said.Fruge was booked into custody and released on bond.
"Several student and faculty members interviewed said they were aware of an affair going on between her and her principal," Guillory said. "That may be why he was reluctant to report it to police.

The public was invited to participate in a panel discussion Sept. 19, 2013 about the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010. Attendees learned about the impacts that the ACA is having on how health care will be delivered beginning next year.
The panel discussion—entitled "Affordable Care Act: Triumphs, Challenges, and the Local Response"—which was held on Thursday, September 19, 2013 in the Donald R. Wright Auditorium at the Pasadena Central Library. Dr. Eric Walsh, Director of the Pasadena Public Health Department and the City's Health Officer, provided important background information about health care reform, challenges that the law creates and what is happening in Pasadena to help the law work best for residents. He was joined by Steven Abramson, Marketing Manager of CHAPCare, who will discuss Medi-Cal Expansion and the State Marketplace Exchange (Covered California); and Mary Donnelly-Crocker, Executive Director of Young & Healthy, who reviewed available community resources and assistance to implement health reform in Pasadena, and identified options for those who will not qualify for insurance.
KPAS, the City's government cable access TV station, recorded the event for broadcast on KPAS, seen on Channel 3 for Cox subscribers and Channel 99 for AT&T U-Verse subscribers. The program is also streamed on the "media" page of the City's website, www.cityofpasadena.net/media, and on the KPAS website at www.pasadenamedia.tv/kpas.
For a listing of showtimes on Channel 3 and Channel 99, please see below:
In 2010, a federal law known as the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (ACA, and more popularly known as "Obamacare") came into effect to change how people throughout the United States get health insurance, to decrease the number who do not have health insurance and to improve the quality of health care while decreasing overall costs. Since 2010, the Pasadena Public Health Department (PPHD), in conjunction with community partners, has taken many steps to prepare for the ACA implementation date of January 1, 2014. By this date, every U.S. citizen and legal resident must have health insurance. For more on the Affordable Care Act, watch the following video developed by the Kaiser Family Foundation:
The following summarizes the changes to health care that have already occurred and will occur as a result of the ACA:
What has already changed?
What will change January 1, 2014?
If you already have health insurance, here is how health reform can impact you:
If you do not have health insurance, starting January 1, 2014 you may qualify for Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid Program. Medi-Cal eligibility will expand to cover the following groups:
The following populations will continue to be eligible for Medi-Cal:
To enroll in Medi-Cal or find out if you qualify, call the Pasadena Public Health Department at (626) 744-6086. There is no fee to apply.
Behavioral Health Coverage under Medi-Cal has expanded and mental health services have been identified as essential health benefits, and therefore be more accessible.
Covered CA is the State's new health insurance marketplace, or "Exchange". Covered CA has two separate markets, one for individuals and families, and another for small businesses (also known as SHOP, Small business Health Options Program). This virtual health insurance marketplace will provide educational tools, price calculators, and other comparative information that will help individuals make informed decisions when purchasing health insurance plans. Covered CA insurance plans will cover the following 10 essential health benefits:
Only U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents can purchase health insurance through Covered CA. Those with incomes between 100% - 400% of FPL may be eligible for federal subsidies. Enrollment into Covered CA is available between October 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014. To speak with someone regarding Covered CA, call our partner, Young & Healthy at (626) 795-5166. There is no fee to apply and no fee for application assistance.
Download this PDF, which shows which health insurance options you may be eligible for in 2014, based on annual income (FPL) and household size.
Even with implementation of the ACA, it is anticipated that individuals will continue to be uninsured. There are options for these individuals to seek health care. Download this PDF, developed by Insure the Uninsured Project to read about various County and State programs. Additionally, county and community health clinics are currently available to those who cannot receive health insurance due to citizenship, residency, age, or other reasons.

Two low-rated bridges that connect thousands of commuters each day to River Road are at different stages in their replacement.
The severely outdated northbound Puyallup River bridge at state Route 167 is a step closer to being replaced in the next few years. Construction of a new Milroy Bridge linking Fife and Puyallup is likely several years away.
The state Department of Transportation has chosen three engineering firm finalists vying to build a new bridge over the Puyallup River at the 167 interchange near North Meridian, replacing the historic steel-truss span built in 1925.
Meanwhile, Pierce County still needs to secure funding to replace the Milroy Bridge on River Road at 66th Avenue East, which dates back to 1931. There is less urgency to repair the Milroy Bridge because it receives less traffic and has a higher safety rating than the bridge upstream.
Katie Bennett of Puyallup uses both bridges and is glad to know work is moving forward on the Puyallup River bridge. But shes concerned about slow progress replacing the Milroy Bridge, where cars sit for long periods of time waiting to cross the intersection.
If that thing goes into the river, theres no doubt that it will take more people than the Skagit River bridge on I-5, she said.
The Puyallup River bridge carries an average of about 18,000 vehicles daily. It is the main link between North Meridian, River Road and SR 167.
Planning to replace the bridge began in the spring, well before last months collapse of the Interstate 5 Skagit River bridge near Mount Vernon, which shed light on regional and national bridge conditions.
WSDOT project engineer Brenden Clarke said the state secured federal funding for the $31 million Puyallup River bridge project after a 2011 inspection revealed diminished conditions on the already low-rated structure. It has a sufficiency rating of 2 on a 100-point scale, well below the threshold of 50 for priority replacement.
Both steel-truss bridges carry the same fracture critical classification as the Skagit River bridge, meaning a major structural failure could cause them to collapse as the Skagit span did after an oversized tractor-trailer struck a support beam. The bridges are also classified as functionally obsolete, meaning their designs are outdated compared with current standards.
But the Puyallup River bridge is also classified as structurally deficient, meaning it requires replacement of some or all of the structure.
Vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds are restricted to the right lane, a limit imposed in January 2011 after a routine state inspection revealed floor beam deterioration.
Final designs for the new bridge were requested last week, and the engineering firms have 12 weeks to submit their proposals, Clarke said.
The state expects to finish the project in late 2015. An environmental review is nearly complete, and the state is working to acquire permits and right of way from private property owners, as well as from the city of Puyallup and Pierce County.
The state also is working with Pierce and King counties to relocate the historic span to a new location on the Foothills Trail between Enumclaw and Buckley over the White River. Funding is still needed, he said.
The Puyallup 167 bridge is one of more than 3,000 bridge structures in the state highway system. Federal requirements call for inspections at least every two years, unless conditions warrant more frequent attention.
The Milroy Bridge, jointly owned by Pierce County and the city of Fife, is another highly traveled, low-rated structure in the Puyallup Valley. While in better shape than the Puyallup River bridge, it has a sufficiency rating of just 37.75.
Its currently being studied for possible replacement as part of the Canyon Road northerly extension, said county bridge engineering supervisor Kraig Shaner.
Previous estimates pegged the replacement cost at $15 million to $20 million. The county is working on updated estimates.
Jerry Bryant, a field engineering manager with the county, said in an earlier interview with The News Tribune that the Milroy Bridge wont be replaced for more than six years due to a lack of funding. Eventually, the old bridge will be decommissioned and a new span erected upstream, Shaner said.
The structure carries an average of about 10,400 vehicles daily.
The narrow two-lane span is the only county-owned steel-truss bridge. There is no weight limit, but it has a height limit of 14 feet, 6 inches.
Bennett said she uses the bridge to get to work in Federal Way and often watches large trucks some that take up the entire width of the structure attempt to cross it.
Im just really concerned about the weight limits, she said. Its too old not to have weight limits.
Fife already restricts large trucks from accessing the Milroy Bridge on the North Levee Road side. The county is also working to address oversized vehicles, Shaner said.
Weve started looking at what we can do from a regulatory standpoint to either restrict lengths or something of that nature, he said. The height loads havent been an issue on that bridge.
The structural integrity of the Milroy Bridge is not a safety concern, Shaner said.
Every two years we climb all over that thing, he said. Its an all-day inspection with an under-bridge inspection truck. We look at everything up close and personal.
Nevertheless, county flood management plan documents from 2011 show the span does not meet federal standards in case of a major flood. Floating debris could hang up on the bridge, even if the levees hold, and the bridge could be damaged or destroyed, a report says.
Shaner said the county is aware of the flood standards as it continues to work toward replacing the bridge.
Construction of the Puyallup River bridge at SR 167 is scheduled to begin in summer 2014. Clarke, the states engineer, said the work wont disrupt traffic; both directions will remain open as the new span is built downstream, to the west.
At its completion, southbound traffic will permanently reroute to the new structure and northbound traffic will use the existing concrete bridge, the other side of the structure that currently carries vehicles south.
Clarke said the goal is to widen the concrete side to five lanes as part of the completion of SR 167 from Puyallup to the Port of Tacoma a long-awaited project still in play as state lawmakers try to wrap up their work this year.
Although the old bridge is rated low and replacement is still a few years away, Clarke said commuters dont need to worry about driving on it.
It would not be open to traffic if we felt that it was unsafe, he said.

Rod Run will go on without RegiersWhen Jerry and Janet Regier moved back to Hutchinson from California in 2008, they had planned on organizing the Hutchinson Rod Run for two years. But after two years turned into six, Jerry Regier confirmed Tuesday that the 2013 show, which ended Sunday, was their last.
"We've done it for six years, and no question we've enjoyed it to the nth degree," Regier said. "But it's time to turn it over to others and retire." In retirement, the Regiers will probably continue to go to car shows, but they may enjoy them even more without the responsibility for organizing everything, seeing that it runs well and taking everything down when it's over. "I love to play golf," Regier said. "I was an avid golfer in California, and I want to play golf again. My wife likes to play tennis. So we're going to structure our leisure time around that. We just haven't quite decided where we'll have that leisure time." Jim Gruver, president of the Downtown Hutchinson Rod Run and Classic Car Show, said the show will go on next year, even without the Regiers. "We're not going to change much," Gruver said. "We're planning on the same dates and the same place." He said that major sponsors have verbally committed to supporting the Rod Run again next year. The Rod Run's board of directors is still working on closing the books on this year's show but will meet in a week or so to discuss replacing Regier, Gruver said. "We have a guy we're looking at right now, but we've not made the final decision yet," Gruver said. The position is unpaid. But Gruver said they're probably going to add a couple of more board members to spread out the responsibilities and make it easier on everybody involved in running the Rod Run. He noted that this past year they computerized registration of cars for the show. Before that, everything had been done by hand and took a lot longer. This year's show featured 363 registered vehicles, far more than a year ago but short of the best year for the show, 2009, when a warm August day without threat of rain or hail attracted 502 cars. "We started Friday with a threat of rain, and that's always our Achilles heel," Regier said. "People just don't want to take those expensive cars out if there's a threat of rain, because with that there's a threat of hail." When Regier started the Rod Run in 2008, some merchants didn't like having downtown streets blocked off, which they viewed as an inconvenience to their customers. But in the intervening years, most merchants have gradually warmed up to the Rod Run. "Any time you do something new, it takes a while for them to adjust to it," Regier said. "Downtown was kind of sacred to them and you didn't close off their streets. ... But as they've grown with it, there's acceptance there, and I think that will help it continue to grow." blog comments powered by Disqus Inappropriate comments include those which: are libelous or defamatory are obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit; substituting characters for letters is not acceptable degrade others on basis of race, gender, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classification are predatory, hateful or intended to attack, intimidate or harass writers or other commenters. contain advertising or solicitation misrepresent your identity or affiliation Also: Please don't hijack comment threads to controversial topics; keep comments relevant to the topic.

Time was that Irish America was defined by the Kennedys and Tip O'Neill , the Berrigan brothers, Jimmy Breslin and other flaming liberals as the right would have it.
Now the big names are Mike Pence, Christine O'Donnell, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity. With the retirement of Senator Chris Dodd, the last East Coast liberal senator has left politics.
Ironically it was another Irish American, Ronald Reagan who brought about the transformation.
O'Reilly and the others, worship at the church of Reagan.
In another era it might have been John F.Kennedy who inspired them to get into the political and media business. Not any more
Congressman Mike Pence who spent a year working in Ireland, won a straw poll at the weekend from a Christian values group as their favorite for president.
He too is a true Reagan believer .
Meanwhile with the death of Ted Kennedy, the retirement of Dodd and the passing of the Tip O'Neill era, it is much harder to identify Irish American leaders on the center left.
Ronald Reagan and John F.Kennedy are the two poles of American politics these days.
All leaders since have been in their shadow and pay homage to their impact on them.
At the moment it seems clear that the Reagan legacy is in the ascendant. The Irish voices in the media are those of O'Reilly and Hannity
It shows how much times have changed. Irish American leaders in the media and politics now lean right.
It seems the Reagan legacy continues.
And btw, Dennis...when I say that the American people support Israel, I'm referring to the majority of this country (and which I am part of)...and which is reflected in any national poll on this matter, consistently.
And I repeat, Dennis, ethnic cleansing (which Israel is NOT practicing towards the Arabs) is PRECISELY what you want done to the Jews, on their own ancient land, nonetheless (with as usual, no where else to suggest 'putting' them afterward -- unless of course you mean DEAD). How about YOU practice what you preach, and get off the Native Americans' land?
And to quote Ronald Reagan (who this whole article was a bit more about): "There you go again" with the 'Israeli lobby.' Certainly they have one of the biggest lobbying orgazations in the USA -- which, last I checked, there is nothing wrong with, particularly since they merely reflect a majority of the U.S. populace, which like me backs Israel's existence on that land to the hilt. Why SHOULDN'T they harness that sentiment through lobbying, in the face of wobbly-kneed and hostile (re: 'progressive') politicians? They can't afford NOT to, as under attack as they constantly are. (Incidentally, the AARP, a domestic, liberal-leaning group, is larger than the Israeli's biggest lobbying group, AIPAC).
Dennis, what Arabs are being 'starved' by Israel, and where? Surely you don't mean Gaza, with its new, glimmering shopping mall, spas, swimming pools and hotels (not to mention Iranian rockets, out the wazoo, ready to be fired at Israel, first chance). What Arabs are being 'harrassed' by Israel, and where? Raining rockets down on an Israeli town for months on end, with sudden death a continuous possibility...and making near-continual threats about wiping Israel off the map...now THAT is harassment.
I'm an American citizen and I fix computers for a living.
Just curious Dennis: What is your nationality and how do you support yourself?
Maybe we don't agree on the meaning of the term "ethnic cleansing," IrishAndProud. Israeli policy seems calculated to push the Arabs out of Israel altogether. It's not enough that areas designated for Arabs have been shrinking, but there's also an effort to starve, harass and even kill the ones remaining. I'd call that ethnic cleansing; there's nothing "false" or "silly" about such a charge.
Over time we see the Jews taking over traditional Arab lands, replacing them with bantustans, the word the Afrikaaners used to describe the walled-in territories to which Blacks were relegated in the days of apartheid. Our three billion dollars goes to support a social structure in Israel that we opposed in South Africa; indeed, we led a boycott against South Africa.
Why was the relief flotilla necessary this past summer? It's because the Israelis are starving the Palestinians, denying them food and medicine, trying to get them to leave. We should not be supporting Israel at all, much less giving that country a lavish subsidy of $3 billion a year.
American politicians are afraid to pull the plug on Israel because they fear the Israel Lobby. I would frankly like to see a lobby for Ireland with the ability to inspire fear the way the Jews can. Very good arguments can be made to support Ireland at only 10% of the amount given to Israel. And the money wouldn't go to promote apartheid as does the money given to Israel. It would go for good things like schools, hospitals and old age pensions. Not for dropping bombs on the helpless people of Gaza.
Dennis, no one said we 'owe' money to 'the Jews,' (interesting that you worded it that way instead of simply saying 'to Israel'). The USA CHOOSES to give them that money, and the majority of Americans support this. As for Israel 'being able to make it' on its own after 60 years since its RE-establishment on its own ancient land, you could make the exact same argument about ANY other nation, Dennis -- including Ireland, which you just got done saying would be a better place to spend money on, instead of Israel. Why can't IRELAND cut it, after so many eons on THAT land (although now you seem to be saying the $$ would be better spent in the U.S. itself, and neither on Ireland OR Israel). Yeah, in this Obama 'recovery' things are pretty tight and gloomy, particularly for his dejected and disillusioned former followers -- but that doesn't mean the USA should just cease funding our strategic ally on the far end of the Mediterranean, completely surrounded by enemies including one who's vowed to 'wipe it off the map.' It cannot just suddenly cease, because Obama's mucking things up here at home so much. If you simply dislike Israel (hence the false and silly charges of 'ethnic cleansing' -- which is precisely what YOU want to do with the Jews on their own land) and want it to go away, then why don't you just say so openly, run for office on it, and work your way up the power ladder until you can implement it? I can't say how receptive the voters would be to it, however...
Remember right is RIGHT, left is WRONG!
Thank God
How about a great spin piece from our lefty columnists on two of our famed Irish American political puppet masters, rahm emmanuel and david axelrod. They both are resigning from our famous Irish American president O'Bamas administration. Could we get some "inside information" from our resident "political savant"? Is it because they want to spend more time with their families?...Or is it because they need to shred evidence 24/7?
Three billion dollars would not go to waste if we kept it here rather than give it away. If you're going to argue that the Irish have no claim to American tax money, I hope you're not implying that Americans have no claim to it either.
The point is that we don't owe money to the Jews. If they can't make a go of it after sixty years, it's time they made some compromises. But so long as they have us backing them up, they want the whole thing and the Arabs can go scratch themselves. It's not fair, and we would not allow it if it were any other nation.
We can't avoid asking what's so special about these people that they get three billion dollars off the top of our tax receipts, and our own people do without. I've never heard a straightforward answer to that question, and I don't think that you've answered it either.
When you say that the American people identify with and support Israel, I don't know who you are speaking for - yourself? I don't identify with Israel; in fact I'm repelled by the way that country treats its Arab minority. And my "support" for Israel is involuntary. It's a decision made by politicians who are afraid of the Israel lobby.
Ah well, we'll just throw money away because we've got lots of it. I can be as sporting as the next guy. If you're giving away three billion dollars to Israel for reasons other than America's interests, why not cut the amount by a tenth? Give the Jews $2.7 billion, and give the Irish $300 million. To the extent that the Irish would not use the money to buy weapons for ethnic cleansing, it would be a far more moral use of our aid money.
Dennis, the USA's support for Israel goes just a wee bit deeper than 'not caring' about the Irish. I know that amongst we Irish that's an oh-so-popular sentiment to fan (we just loooove doing it and reaaally get into it...we've made such good victims of ourselves, after all, and have incorporated 'victimhood' so centrally into what's popularly considered an 'authentic' Irish identity), but you really need to snap out of it. The USA feels differently about Israel than ANY other nation -- not just Ireland -- and it clearly isn't because of our national ancestry, either (since Jews are less than 2% of the U.S. population, and DROPPING, btw). The American people, by and large, simply (and clearly) identify with and support Israel, and recognize its historic, religious, and strategic significance, which is and has been inarguably greater than any other people or nation on this earth, especially considering how few of them there really are, in relation to all the rest of us (and there's been no shortage of effort to destroy them, either), and further we recognize its legitimate existence on its own ancient land, and the benefit to any nation which backs them (considering Who ultimately backs THEM)...and we are glad to be their ally. Israel's relationship with the USA is unique and incomparable to ANY other nation; Ireland is not being singled out, here. It's just a bit deeper, than that, and it's both overly simplistic and inaccurate to suggest that money going to Israel is somehow diverting what otherwise would be a juicy, socialist handout to Ireland's poor. LOTS of other countries could make the same 'claim', as well.
What do the likes of Hannity and O'Reilly and Fox News, who are nothing but an arm of the GOP, have to offer America or Irish Americans. They couldn't attack the Dem's on facts, so they had to take the low road to feed the nation a steady diet of smear, division and inferred paranoia about regime change. They have recently, brazenly supported candidates who won't debate and use Fox as a source to raise contributions while they don't have the caliber or intelligence to fairly debate other candidates. The facts remain, this country was bleeding 8 million jobs during the end of the Bush term and his policies of deregulation have forced the middle class into dire straits. The GOP continues to blow smoke of how they have to take their country back...Too what...To the people whose mismanagement brought us to the brink of financial destruction? And BTW, thanks to the "old Irish style" Dem's, starting today, your college student can stay on your healthcare policy till age 26, your child with a pre existing conditions will no longer be denied health insurance, and your insurance company can no longer "drop you" if you become ill with cancer a hit your lifetime cap.
kell...you are a good man
Really? Really? You hold these two up for admiring Irish glances? O'Reilly is intolerant and boorish, and Hannity is truly a right wing nut, who panders to the worst in America. They are fearmongers and dividers.
Fred Thompson for President 2012
Many of the people moving towards The Republican Party realize and see it's imperfections, but also realize that it's the best option for America, and it's a framework that we can work with an improve. The Democrats are destroying this country.
It's about time.
What I don't understand is why the Jews are so much more important than the Irish. Here's IrishAndProud defending the $3 billion will give every year to Israel by saying it brings "closer ties" between us.
A measly tenth of that amount would help the Irish out a great deal. There aren't jobs in Ireland for young people - that's why they're coming here. But imagine the amount of good $300 million would do them.
A Jew once explained to me why Israel gets $3 billion and Ireland gets nothing. It's because, he said, nobody gives a rat's ass about the Irish.
Jesus was a Progressive Liberal.
A stronger Israel, and even closer ties between them and us -- that's what we get, Dennis. And that's more than enough return, for me (since my $$ are also among that amount going to Israel, I think my opinion counts as much as anyone's). I'd much rather be supporting Israel than contributing to its destruction, and the driving of Jews off their own ancient land. Not a good thing. I just don't aspire all that much to be counted among the Jews' enemies; throughout history, they've not been a nice bunch.
There may be some hope for the Irish American after all as more become conservative every day.
Joe K. never ran booze during prohibition. WHAT A LAUGH!
Ted was a drunk for many years. His son is a drunken drug addict.
One, two ,three.... should I continue?
I hope the pendulum swings back to liberalism some day. I can't stand to listen to the new breed.
Can you count past one, hancock?
We have fallen to a new low in America when we list the group of Irish-Americans that worship at the church of Reagan. This group of anti-Americans and Right wing, wing-nuts have not the class nor the intelligence to represent America. They are best compared to the likes of Ian Paisley of Northern Ireland. I am ashamed.
Teddy wasa a drunk, if you can't admit that you're stupider than I thought.
Joe Kennedy was not a bootlegger . . . that's a myth. And the Kennedys were not drunks . . . that's also a myth. To the extent that these legends are accepted as fact among the Irish themselves, it's a case of internalized self-hatred.
Joe Kennedy made a lot of money importing liquor after Prohibition. The Kennedys barely touched liquor; and most of them didn't drink at all. Visitors to the Kennedys had to ask for a drink; and if they wanted another, they had to ask again. Those are the facts.
kell7757…Sorry, I don't think a steady diet of smear, division and inferred paranoia about regime change, is a productive path to follow. I also remember when Americans didn't have to fit into narrow little boxes labeled: progressive, liberal, and elitist, or to the extremes, socialist or Marxist when the likes of Hannity or Beck, try to motivate votes by fear. I think most people have individual feelings about most topics however the conservative game now is to tell you if you don't follow their "narrow" platform you're un American.
As a first and second generation Irish American (myself, Da, and GrandDa all conservative Republicans) I find this article spot on and good news.
IrishAndProud, what do we get in return for the $3 billion a year we give to Israel, no strings attached?
I'm not liberal. I'm conservative. I came from a liberal family, but like a lot of Irish Americans have come to see that liberalism is not leading this country to a good future. That is what this article is about. Many have moved away from liberalism. Find out about the quality of life in the UK if you want to know where liberalism can take a country. It's not about how we were treated in the past, or if we were victims, or who's the victim now. It's about where America is now and the direction we want America to go in in the future.
Dennis, someone could write precisely the same thing about a typical 'progressive' such as yourself, and your Hamas Jew-hater heroes. You don't think THEY can do any wrong.
The Irish in America sure have come a long way, Once we were victims of Hate Groups now we're members. America is a great country.
Son of a bootlegger, drunk ... what else?
kell7757..Your Irish ancestors came to the States for religious and economic freedom, and to provide a better future of education, healthcare, and the dream that someday they would be treated as an equal, that had been impossible in Ireland under British rule. The narrative coming from the conservatives of today, like Hannity, sounds very close to those who "victimized" rather than allowed the Irish immigrants to pursue their American dream. The further Irish Americans get from their own history as immigrants they seem to forget that reality.
Kell7757: I'm not reaching for insults, I'm reaching for good sense. I don't doubt for a second that you are both liberal and Irish-American. You are not unique in this. My objection to the Irish-American response to America and its politics is that it is endlessly mired in ethnic irrelevance. By all means – especially as a first-generation U.S. citizen – be proud of your Irish heritage. I am of mine (and I was there as recently as yesterday). But if your grandchildren are still indulging their origin, to the detriment of an American viewpoint, then all that I have said previously is valid. Italian-Americans, Polish-Americans, even Ukrainian-Americans, give up on the "Old Country" after fifty years. Only the Irish hang on in there, constantly reliving the distant past as if it were yesterday. Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity are not Irish idiots, they are American idiots and should be judged as such. We need to move on.
Niall, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Voltaire Really, Niall was it necessary to call them "flaming" liberals? Is civil discourse still possible in this country or has name calling taken it's place?
You're reaching for insults, because that doesn't even make sense. As a first generation American, it would be impossible for me to not be influenced by my heritage, and have that shape my values and beliefs. If you see that as something negative, that's too bad. Americans of all backgrounds are equal. I come from a very liberal family who, like many liberals, are extremely approval-seeking, and afraid to take a stand. My politics are very much my own, as I am constantly critisized for what I sincerely believe. But no, matter, conservatism is the wave of the future for Irish Americans. If you don't like me or anyone else thinking of themselves as Irish American, why not find another forum to haunt, where everyone can be blandly stripped of any heritage or culture you may consider unAmerican.
My political views are diametrically opposed to those of the "Tea Party lady". But at least she refuses to be led by her ethnic nose. Her politics are her own, as an American.
Another Irish American conservative here. The values that attracted the Irish to this country are threatened by the liberals. Our ancestors came here because of what this country represented, and want to preserve that way of life and those ideals. They are being eroded by the liberal victim mentality.
All that you have described in your article is Irish people of the left liberal leaning. I am an Irish American Tea Party lady. And I stand for the Constitution of the USA. It's time we get back to our "Law of the Land" and the will of the people of the USA - NOT the politicians.
Christine O'Donnell, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Mike Pence: I thank the dear Lord and my good common sense that I have absolutely nothing in common with the reactionary lot of them.
President Reagan is synonymous with exploitation, to me.
No I am not speechless but I could be. Elevating any of those listed just because they are of Irish descent to a status of leadership is ridiculous. Their views and positions do not represent those of all Irish Americans let alone the rest of our population. Only those who do not recognize hot air or B.S. when they hear it are likely to fall for their Malarkey.
You mourn the Kennedy's as stalwarts of American politics? A hard-drinking, womanizing, liberal family that owed their wealth to bootlegging and organized crime? I have to agree with Watchman... what difference does it make? Irish, German, French, native American,black, white, yellow or green... American are Americans, and they don't vote their nation origin.
If JFK made his "Ask not.." speech today, the socialists who have taken over the democrat party of today would run him out of town.
Who cares who the top Irish-Americans are in politics? What matters is who thinks what and what they can do about it. The idea that there should be an Irish-American lobby for anything other than issues affecting Ireland is outdated and absurd.
If John F. Kennedy were alive today, his policies would be strongly republican.
Mike Pence is one of these Christian politicians who believes Israel can do no wrong. He's been so fervent for such a long time that it's likely he's planned for many years to use Jewish money to pay for his presidential ambitions.
Here's one way to identify an Israel firster - you don't even need to ask questions. If you even speculate what we're getting in return for $3 billion a year in direct aid to Israel, people like Mike Pence will call you anti-Semitic. And God forbid you should express any sympathy at all for the people trapped in Gaza while the Israelis dropped bombs on them. Mike Pence is more than a dullard in the tradition of George Bush; he's simple-minded and fixated on Israel's interests - even when they directly conflict with America's interests.
There will never be an end to conflict in the Middle East so long as Republicans continue to rubber stamp anything and everything the Israelis do. The Zionists can't run a Jew for president, but they can run Mike Pence.
Uh, Warrenpoint...Reagan made that remark in 1984, during the presidential campaign. Gorbachev did not come along until 1985. On top of your facts being wrong, you're insane. Oh, and that's 'Reagan,' not 'Regan.'
Warrenpointless00 you are a gigantic boob. Do you really doubt that Reagan was joking about bombing the Russians? Pull your head out of your arse. eirghamach, quoting Obama only confirms your lack of sense. Anyone who believes that liberalism spurs the economy needs to be drug tested, post haste. Progressivism will be the death of any economy that embraces it. Look at the Irish economy for proof.
Oh my god .Ronnie Regan an Irish descendant. Absolutely hog wash I say old boy Niall. He was a senile nutty precedent for the nutty tea baggers. Remember when he foolishly declared that dropping the A bomb on the Russian people was an audio sound check.If Gorbachev,s predecessors had been in office at that time we would all be extinct today. Thank god this nut is in his hole,along with Stalin, Kruschev,Hitler and hopefully soon Maggie
Uh, eirighamach...if you're going to try to counter my assertion that it is in fact a MYTH that Irish-descended Americans are liberal by default, then you'd best find some other examples than the ones you listed. Building cities in a capitalist, free-market economy that allowed it to happen has nothing to do with left-wing politics (quite the reverse). To suggest that all of these Irish were liberals because they....BUILT things...??? I'm not following you; your argument makes no sense. And...the only ones currently carrying on any witch hunts around here are the critics of fellow Irish person Christine O'Donnell. They're pathetic, carrying on about an irrelevancy like that whilst of course pretending that they're so much better, smarter and personally more important than the rest of us, the great unwashed masses who just happen to form the conservative majority and backbone of the USA. If they're so 'smart,' why are they nitpicking on so little -- with utterly no benefit for them, in the process?
Christine O'Donnell cancelled appearances on TV news shows this weekend, apparently in hopes the dabbling in witchcraft will die down. However, she has agreed to go on the Hannity show because he won't ask tough questions. Hannity has become the go-to guy for Republicans who are afraid to meet a real journalist.
Is Hannity maintaining his audience? In recent photographs he looks like the stresses of life are taking their toll on him. For a guy who didn't have that much going for him in the first place, he can't afford to look like he doesn't get enough sleep. Maybe he's starting to need his guests more than they need him; that's why he asks softball questions.
One thing we know for sure is that O'Donnell's going nowhere. She'll probably benefit from a backlash against all the ridicule, but it's difficult to believe there are enough low information voters to keep her in contention. When this is over, she'll write a pro-chastity book and every library in America will order five copies in hardcover.
Some of Irish America took a stroll down the seductive path of demagoguery with Joe McCarthy in the 1950s too. Does anyone think that the arrant populism promoted by Hannity, O'Donnell and their pals Beck and Palin could have a better outcome for America than the McCarthy pogroms? Thank God that JFK and Robert Kennedy arrived on the scene to snap a segment of Irish America out of its obsession with the fundamentalism of the flag and the fundamentalism of the cross (phrasing borrowed from Richard Hofstadter, 1962, Kennedy-era thinking). The Reagan era saw a resurgence of simple-minded solutions to over-simplified problems, ahh, but weren't people happier with that than they were when they wrestled with civil rights and inevitable post-colonial "conflicts" like the Vietnam War? And surprise, surprise, here are the heirs of Senator Joseph McCarthy and Governor George Wallace arriving on the scene, and Niall O' Dowd is ready to march to their tunes! Anyone who thinks that Irish America's progressive politics is a myth has repressed the history, not only of the Irish building cities like NYC, but of the union movement that built the American middle-class, the flourishing of Irish spirit in American music, theater, literature, the arts, the affinity of the Irish for a political system that puts liberty and tolerance at the center of life. . . . As Obama would say, let's listen to our better angels. For me, those are the spirits of my Irish ancestors, and it's for sure they are not whispering names like Hannity, O'Donnell, and O'Reilly into my ears.
It is noteworthy that the two most popular and beloved Presidents of the USA in the second half of the 20th century, John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, were both of Irish-Catholic ancestry. Ronald Reagan was certainly a conservative, but John Kennedy (and particularly Kennedy patriarch Joseph Patrick) would have balked if described as "liberals".
My family were all Roosevelt Democrats. It was a mortal sin to ever vote republican. But when the Democrats went to the left we went to the right which was the Republican party. We didn't leave the democrats, they left us.
...and it's a great way to see the Irish-descended Reagan take on a snively little English twit, if that's your goal.
Typing 'rfk Reagan' into You Tube will work, better. The link I mentioned should be the first one, at the top.
Oh, and Reagan and Thatcher were also ideological allies far beyond just their opposition to Soviet expansionism. They also believed in limited government and the utter destructiveness of socialism, which scarcely a government on this planet is embracing anymore, save for maybe Obama and Venezuela. When two world leaders have so much in common ideologically and were faced with the Cold War, they would be bonkers NOT to have a close, working relationship of the kind Reagan and Thatcher had -- and anyone who would suggest that a person's ancestry scuttle such a thing in the world as it was (just because Reagan was of Irish ancestry and Thatcher was English, i.e.) is beyond shallow and short-sighted. They're just plain dumb.
Ronald Reagan was probably our nation's greatest President -- and it is indeed deeply satisfying to know that he played such a large role in dispelling the MYTH that Americans of Irish descent are always left-leaning, or that it's somehow incompatible to be anything other than liberal (just 21% of Americans, according to Gallup) and be 'Irish.' That's a farce, and a laughable one, at that. BTW John F. Kennedy, by today's standards, would be very much conservative (unlike his younger brother, Ted); so would Robert F. Kennedy, who was murdered for his unflagging support of Israel. Just go to You Tube, and type in 'Ronald Reagan Robert Kennedy,' and you will see a clip from the 60's with then-Governor Reagan and Sen. Kennedy side-by-side, defending the U.S. role in Vietnam -- with very confident, clear and direct answers in the face of leftist European criticism. They both sound very much alike. When it comes down to it, the classic Kennedy politics on the one side were very much like Reagan's on the other...and Americans of Irish descent are very much a conservative lot, with their liberal spots, like everyone else. Oh, also, Edinboron...Reagan was an ally of Thatcher (thank goodness) like ANY American President should have been, at that time, regardless of ancestry. We were in the Cold War, and both leaders had some fairly sizeable things on their plates -- like stopping Soviet expansionism. The Kennedy patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy, was Ambassador to Britain, for crying out loud. I was expecting a post like yours at some point, but it was still utterly pathetic to read. Try again, kiddo.
Edinboron -- Spot on post.
It's a post-urban phenomenon. In the suburbs, Irish America lost connection to the city. We parade down Fifth Avenue as tourists in a city "we once built."
@DennisQ...And how would you describe Senate majority leader Harry Reid? It seems as though the only criticism you can muster against Mike Pence is that he is "dull." So it's a personality thing for you, where do you stand on Harry Reid?
Ronald Reagan wasn't Irish American, he was an actor who pretended to be to get the Irish Catholic vote. Once in office he showed himself to be a true Anglophile. He got in bed with Thatcher, betrayed Irish America and bowed before the queen to receive his reward.
Of the four names you mentioned - Pence, O'Donnell, O'Reilly and Hannity, only one of them is a working politician. Mike Pence gets easily re-elected every two years because he's a Republican from eastern Indiana. The reason he won't go any farther than being a Congressman is that he's a boring man with a dull speaking style. So-called "value voters" love him because he's very predictable and he doesn't make any waves. He also looks the part.
Mike Pence ran for minority leader against John Boehner - another dullard - and lost handily. However, Pence's chances for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 are pretty good because he might be a compromise candidate. He's far enough to the right that the Tea Party people will vote for him, but he's also enough of a centrist not to frighten voters the way Sarah Palin or Ron Paul might. And the Republicans have to nominate somebody.
If Pence gets the nomination, he won't win. He's dull as dishwater to listen to, and his positions are predictable. A skilled politician, he knows how to avoid answering questions - he chortles! But that won't get him elected; in fact he might even make voters nostalgic for John McCain - who was pretty colorless in his own right.
I have to say I liked Ronald Reagan as a person, He was a handsome and pleasant man, Even if his Supply side and Trickle down economics were hard to buy at times as a real solution to the economic realities of the day,

Suicide bomber kills 25 at Baghdad park
- Published: 24 Aug 2013 at 03.49
- Online news: World
A suicide bomber killed at least 25 people in Baghdad on Friday while seven died in other attacks, as security forces seek to stem spiralling violence with wide-ranging anti-insurgent operations.
Iraqis gather at the site of car bomb explosion in the Baghdad neighbourhoods of Qahira on March 29, 2013. A suicide bomber struck a park in the Iraqi capital on Friday, killing at least 25 people, officials said.
Diplomats and analysts say the authorities are failing to tackle the root causes of months of heightened unrest, but Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has vowed to press on with a campaign against militants, which is among the biggest of its kind since US forces withdrew in December 2011.

It is interesting that many other citizens on the Island are also noticing that our local newspapers are not interested in reporting on issues that are not pro "establishment" or that do not fit the views of the reporters, staff or owners of the newspapers. As all of our local community newspapers are now owned by one entity and this should be troubling to all of us who wish to see both sides of an issue presented to the public.
Here is an article by another local blogger that has has had similar experiences with our local papers, his article starts out by stating:
"Summary The handling by local newspapers, and particularly the Whidbey News-Times, of news and views about the EMS levy measure has reached a new journalistic low. First, the WNT editor refused to run my 510-word "Sound off" submission, telling me I should send in a shorter letter or take out an ad. Next, he ran a 967-word "Sound off" in support of the levy. On the adjoining page, his pro-levy editorial contained virtually no relevant facts, but instead attacked me personally, and dishonestly. I did, by the way, submit different short but fact-laden letters to the three local papers, none of which were published. Local papers have been careful to keep voters ignorant of facts that demonstrate the EMS personnel budget is out of control. This censorship by the WNT establishes that it is a co-conspirator with Whidbey General Hospital and EMS officials in their non-transparency and closed government strategies. The full report contains my open letter to the head of Sound Publishing, a Canadian-owned chain that now owns all three local newspapers, and thus has a monopoly on Island politics, news, and advertising."
To view the rest of his article please visit his website here:
Below is a link to his blog that has 41 articles that go into great detail the issues surrounding Whidbey General Hospital and how they are spending our taxpayer dollars. Please visit his blog as the information it presents is very well researched and fact filled and almost all of the information he presents is not available to any of us through our local newspapers outlets.

The Whidbey Marketplace & News is a locally owned and operated publication that strives to remain unbiased and is willing to publish Letters to the Editor from all viewpoints. We published one of Mr. Born's letters regarding the EMS levy. If you want to avoid the monopoly, the Whidbey Marketplace & News is an alternative source for information and advertising.
The Whidbey Marketplace & News IS the only publication that has an unbiased viewpoint and I would encourage every business in Island County to support this newspaper with their advertising dollars. The South Whidbey Record and the Whidbey Examiner have been known for their bias reporting and the promoting of their liberal agenda for a long time. There was a sliver of hope for the Whidbey News Times; unfortantely, that door closed with their recent acquisition.
Today, August 30, 2012, I had four postings pulled by the Whidbey News Times..

http://www.islandpolitics.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Helen_Johnson_Freeland.wmaCheck out Helen Price Johnson's support of the $40 million sewer project and the LID by resolution that would have bankrupted those of us living on fixed incomes in the Phase I plan of the 'sewer."
If Mr Lauderdale denies membership in the Tea Party, then, for gosh sakes he isn't a member. I myself am a fiscal conservative but a social liberal. So, obviously, I'm not a member of the Tea Party. But I do have friends who ARE tea party members.. That's their privilege as it is mine to disagree with them on specific points.
The issue is, and always has been, should the good people of Freeland have the right to VOTE on LIDS. In her support of the lID by resolution, Helen clearly says no.
Depriving citizens the right to vote on taxes is un-American. Basing assessments on junk science is reprehensible.
I am voting for Jeff Lauderdale because he saw through this manipulation from day one.

Robert Thurman talks at Occupy Wall Street
Robert Thurman, the Buddhist writer and Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University, gave a rousing address to the protestors at Occupy Wall Street, encouraging "cool heroes" (i.e. non-violent heroes) as opposed to "hot heroes" (those motivated by anger and hatred).
The address is frequently very funny. The people who were assigned to repeat his words, in order to make them audible to the large crowd were often too busy laughing to be able to effectively relay Thurman's message.
Comment from Erric Solomon
Time: October 14, 2011, 7:11 pm
I videoed the entire talk, with better sound (the lapel mic was mine), and posted it here:

Good Data
Our Business Intelligence Solutions – from ETL to Analytics via the Data Warehouse
For over twenty years Kanda has been helping companies create customized data solutions to improve their business. Technologies have evolved, and Kanda has remained on the cutting edge of creating and using advanced Business Intelligence solutions.
We work with established BI technology platforms like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM and SAP, and also with the up-and-coming Cloud BI vendors such as Good Data.
We have dozens of talented data architects, experienced analysts, and exceptional engineers trained in the Microsoft BI stack including PerformancePoint Server, Sharepoint Server and related technologies
Our Business Intelligence (BI) practice has been growing stronger every year and was recognized by Forrester Research. Kanda was included in Forrester's short list of Business Intelligence (BI) service providers. Kanda is short-listed as a vendor of choice particularly for those searching for Microsoft-based and Oracle BI services in North America.
The, "BI Service Provider Short-Listing Tool," is a Microsoft Excel-based tool and can be found and purchased on the Forrester website.
Kanda has developed Business Intelligence (BI) solutions with clients including: Dun & Bradstreet, Mitchell 1, Lionbridge, Cognos, and others.
For a leading provider of car repair information Kanda created a data warehouse of historic car repair statistics broken down by multiple dimensions such as make and model, type of repair, geography, and many others. The data warehouse and associated Kanda-developed analytics allowed the company to run retrospective analysis, predictive modelling, and sell targeted data slices and reports to parts manufacturers and other interested parties. To assure timeliness and reliability of the information Kanda wrote both the ETL processes from diverse underlying database and automated filters as well as data cleansing workbench.
Key technologies used in this project: MS SQL Server Analysis Services cubes
- Kanda's Business Intelligence (BI) services include:
- Data Integration and Management
- ETL including multi-source complex transformation
- Data filtering and cleansing including manual and semiautomated processing
- Business Forecasting for Finances and Operations
- Data Warehousing and Analytics
- Mobile Business Analytics Solutions (iPad, Android)
- Cloud-based Business Intelligence Solutions
- Business Activity Monitoring and Reporting
- Business Analytics Dashboards
For Cognos (IBM) Kanda created a multi-dimensional cube combining Cognos's own internal sales data with D&B's in-depth corporate information. Utilizing multi-dimensional analysis Cognos marketing and sales professionals were able to pose ad-hoc what-if queries that allowed them to discover potential new market niches and plan marketing and sales initiatives. For example the system could identify that Cognos sold to mid-sized financial institutions in one state and then help them identify another state with a large number of similar institutions that therefore warranted additional marketing spending. The same data warehouse was also utilized for quarterly sales projections all the way down to individual prospect identification.
Making informed business decisions utilizing reliable Data Warehouse and powerful BI tools is the key to any company's success. At Kanda, we have the experience, the team, and the proven results to help you develop the right Business Intelligence stack – from ETL to Data Warehouse to Cubes and Analytics.

The buses, trains, and planes have all arrived from Novosibirsk, Beijing, and San Francisco, and our team is finally assembled! Once we were all together, Brendan led the Ramblers on a tour of the city. We visited the Old Fort where the city was founded in 1604, enjoying what were for him and Matt the warmest day they've experienced this year!
We got to see Tomsk University's facilities, including a science lab that reminded all of us of Harry Potter, and saw the city's central market. Among a vast collection of Adidas products and really cool towels, we found a market where a wide variety of meat was display, including pig faces! (Traditionally used to make a Russian meat/gelatin dish, we used ours to make an American prank on Brendan and Gillian.)
We also caught a performance by world famous puppeteer, Vladimir Zakharov. Down a dirt road in Tomsk where houses have no running water, Zakharov has built a theater entirely out of wood and filled it with his own homemade puppets. Many of them have motion sensors and talk to you as you walk by. Zakharov honored us with a fantastical puppet show involving spiders, caves, and lost magic earrings. Afterwards we talked to his puppets and enjoyed his gorgeous theater.
In celebration of Gillian's 24th birthday, we met up with some of Brendan's local friends for shashlik (traditional russian barbeque) at the Akademgorodok (academic city, a suburb of Tomsk.) After the barbeque we all went dancing at Liner and Contra, two of Tomsk's premier dance clubs. Dance moves were exchanged and general boogieing was had to the tunes of Russian techno and american pop megamixes.
Besides having a grand time in Tomsk, we've also spent the last week playing a lot of music together. We hit it off very well and all taught each other songs. After developing a repertoire we threw a big ol' hootenanny at Brendan's apartment, where we debuted our band and jammed out with Russian musicians. Everyone had fun and no one got hurt!
In addition, Brendan and Gillian both performed last night at the local bar/cafe, Matador. The place was packed with Brendan's Tomskian friends and everyone was mesmerized by their incredible sets. A Russian webzine, Afisha, wrote up a neat review of the concert – in Russian! We'll have some videos of their show and an English translation of the article up as soon as we get a chance.
So far the trip is five stars out of four. In other words, awesome! Next stop: Elista, chess capital of the world!
Over and out,

So back on September 14, only 3 weeks ago, I told you about a new potential Amazon Gift Certificate earning source that is very similar to Swagbucks, called ZoomBucks.
I had just signed up that same day before writing the post for you and wanted to give you an update now that some time has passed. Great news guys, in just 3 weeks I earned 3,143 points and just traded in 3,000 for a $30 Amazon.com Gift Card! That's $10 per week. To be completely honest with you, I think it took me about 2-3 months to earn my very first prize at Swagbucks, so thus far – Zoombucks seems to be the faster way to earn.
Since it's new, Zoombucks is a great opportunity for you guys to sign up too to get in on the ground floor. Remember, one of the easiest ways of really racking up Swagbucks is by referring your friends (I gave you some tips on how to do this in my earlier post here.) and ZoomBucks is no different! Sign up, earn points by doing things (listed below) and refer your friends to earn 10% of the points they earn!
I just checked that stats of people I've referred and one reader that joined on 9/24 already has 816 points – that means she getting almost 100 points per day which = $10 Amazon GC every 10 days!!!
Another reader joined on 9/16 and has 4,004 points right now – that's more than me – lol!!!
If you didn't join the last time I mentioned this, don't you wish you had now? LOL! It's never too late. Join now and let's do this together and see how much we can earn by Christmas.
How to earn Zbucks
1) Search – Use the ZoomBucks search to increase your chances of winning points. Install the toolbar and get in the habit of using the search. The more you search (legitimate searches), the more you win!
2) Shop – Some of you already shop online. Shop online through ZoomBucks and get points back to your account every time you make a purchase.
3) Surveys – ZoomBucks will send DAILY surveys to your inbox. These same surveys are accessible through the Surveys link in your account. Be sure to complete surveys daily and watch the points roll in!
4) Paid to read emails – You don't need to do anything with this. Simply sit back and watch the emails come in. Once you receive an email, follow the instructions and get credit!
5) Promotion Codes – Join their Facebook group and follow them on Twitter to receive FREE promotion codes. When you see these codes, simply log in to your ZoomBucks account, enter the code, and get your points!
6) Lastly, don't forget to complete your extended profile. Simply login to your account, click 'Profile' and scroll down to the bottom where it says 'Detailed Profile.' Complete this 15 minute survey to increase your chances of getting more offers. You will also receive 100 points for completing your extended profile!
How to Spend ZBucks
It appears that for all their redemption prizes (Amazon is included – yay!) 100 pts = $1. The smallest Amazon.com Gift Card you can redeem for is $10 so you will need 1,000 points to get this. Not too bad seeing as you get 100 points (or $1) just for completing your profile!
*Note, for your very first redemption, you need to save up 2,000 points before you can redeem. After that, you can trade in points every 1,000 :)

Forty-five years ago today, if you were one of the thousands in Monterey who were clued in enough to what was really going on in modern music Stockhausen notwithstanding you witnessed a pantheon of pop delivered in living stereo. Canned Heat, Big Brother & the Holding Company, The Steve Miller Band, Hugh Masekela, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Otis Redding. All on one day! For those who weren't with-it enough to be there, the Monterey Pop Festival was filmed by documentarian D.A. Pennebaker and tonight's 45th-anniversary screening of Monterey Pop will be attended by festival impresario Lou Adler and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas, the band that concluded the festival. Adler recently remarked to Variety that the staying power of Monterey remains because of all the "iconic musical performances" which would really come in handy for, say, festival also-rans Beverly, or The Paupers (hey, you try living off the royalties from "If I Call You by Some Name"). In those halcyon days of that loving summer, no one could have dreamed what was going to happen later: Vietnam, Manson, Woodstock, Freedom Rock. Everything at Monterey Pop was new, good and great promise fulfilled for once, at least. Cinefamily, 611 N. Fairfax Ave.; Sun., June 17, 7 p.m.; $12. (323) 655-2510, cinefamily.org.
