Let t er Fr om THE PUBLISHER Dear Friends and Readers We need to come to grips with the rampant pessimism that is engulfing our country.

History is important as it is an account of our past and an accounting of the activities of our forbears. Some historical facts are grim, sad and tragic. Some are brave, inspiring heroic and sweet. All can be a lesson and a guide.

We celebrate success and we condemn bad acts and people.

It all seems somewhat clear cut to me but I usually over simplify everything and have a reputation for being an optimist.

I also am good at seeing both ides of an issue and always eager to solve a problem. The Irish are problem solvers! I am one of them.

Our Irish ancestors were quick to get behind the Cause for American Independence from the British Empire.

Thousand served in the Colonial Army and Navy and hundreds were in leadership positions. Some historians estimate that almost 50% of Washington's troops were Irish Americans or Irish Born, We cover a few of them in this issue but a deep study is well worth the time and effort.

We can recommend one book which we consulted for the features in this issue as a fun starting point. It is: " How The I RI SH Won The Amer ican Revolution" by Phillip Thomas Tucker, PhD

HAPPY FOURTH Of JULY!!

M cNULTY SCHOOL of I r ish Dance This issue we are delighted to welcome Er in Scott-Haines and her South Bay based school to the I rish Arts & Entertainment as an adver tiser and contr ibuter !

The original McNulty School of Irish Dan ce was founded by Barbara McNulty, T.C.R.G., in 1971 in Naperville, Illinois.Branches and expansion with other highly skilled Irish Dance teachers has resulted in locations and students throughout the nation.The School currently offers classes in over 20 locations in Northern and Central Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, and California The McNulty School of Irish Dance Los Angeles

opened in 2013 under the direction of Erin Scott-Haines, T.C.R.G., who began dancing with the McNulty School of Irish Dance in 1986. After years of performing and competing, Erin started teaching with the McNulty School in Chicago, where she was born. Erin has over 15 years of teaching experience, including directing and choreographing for the touring McNulty Performance Troupe.

Erin moved to California after receiving a Masters degree in dance/movement psychotherapy and counseling. Since then the McNulty School has flourished and Erin's Dancers frequently perform throughout California (including an upcoming Irish festival in Long Beach in August). The McNulty School's biggest project for the Summer is detailed in this issue... See pages 11 & 31

Ir ish Ar t s an d En t er t ain m en t (IA&E): Hello Laura Crockett, we really are delighted to have you as our featured Profile and Q & A for our Special Summer issue.

We have quite a bit in this issue about the Irish contribution to the American War for Independence so we thought this would be a really good fit for you as the author Big Battles In Trenton. That would be a great starting point; please tell us about Ell (Your alter ego?) and how this delightful work was conceived?

Lau r a Cr ock et t : Ell, the ?writer ? of the diaries, is based on my great-aunt Laura Evans. I am named after her.

She was my grandmother ?s older sister. Laura died in 1908 of TB. She was just 20 years old,

and had been accepted as a teacher. So, in a way, she is my alter ego, because I get to be the teacher.

Another purpose in writing these books is I like bringing a bit of reality into these historical events. Americans have a tendency to either romanticize the events, or, now, of course, cast a negative narrative over them. I say walk in the shoes of your ancestors before you try to judge. Our ancestors are both saints and sinners. And so are we.

A&E: Th an k s f or t h at . Do you plan on an ot h er book in t h e ser ies?

Lau r a Cr ock et t : There is another Time Chair Diary. Its title is Underground. It features Harriet Tubman as the

historical character, along

with the usual suspects from the first book. Plus the dog.

Ell inherited a Springer Spaniel named Plato. He now travels with her. And makes trouble..

July 2021

Lau r a Cr ock et t continued: The plot in Underground centers on helping a runaway slave get his sister out of her servitude. They join up with Mrs. Tubman to trek out of the South in 1854. She follows the route of the underground railroad. Thus the book?s title, Underground.

There is a third book planned.

No title as yet. Its plot centers on the War of 1812.

IA&E: Well, w e ar e h appy t o h ear t h at . Wh en did t h is in t er est in h ist or y st ar t ?

M or e im por t an t ly w h en did you r ealize you cou ld qu it you r day job?

I?ve been at this for 30 years!

But my heart was won over to this life long pursuit of studying the past when I was 16. It was a summer ?s day, I was bored, and my mom pointed to the bookcases in the living room. ?Read!? She said to me. ?How can you be bored with all those books staring at you?? I looked over the titles, and I swear to you, one of those books said, ?Pick me.? I leaned over, and read the title. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.

Now what kind of title is that?

It?s an oxymoron! Therefore, it must be read it. Well, Tolstoy grabbed hold of me, and he never let me go. Because then I had to find out who Napoleon is, and then I start studying the French Revolution. The biggest encouragement to continue this madness came from the French people I met whilst in school in France. They were amazed that this American kid knew their history.

I discovered historical

reenactment, and discovered they had very little in the way of learning materials. I would attend historical dance classes, however, there was not a way to practice at home. My first product was an historical dance package of video, audio and book. The purpose was to give the students a way to learn the steps, and practice them, at home. That?s when my first company, Historical Resources, was born. The next product was a series of books on learning to speak Early Modern English. Once I found a distributer for my products, I could quit my day job.

Historical Resources was also involved in event production, and costuming. I had loads of fun with that business.

Lau r a Cr ock et t : I love story telling! So many stories, so little time.

The story of humanity is my love. Cultures fascinate me.

That?s why I tell stories from around the world. The Irish and Celtic stories are my latest obsession. They are quite clever. And charming.Whenever I study a canon of stories from a culture, I learn about that culture.

Myths and legends present both sides of human nature; the light side and the dark side. Every story has a moral to be learned. They are markers along the way of human civilization.

Yes, the plan calls for a stories from around the world, audio book. No written book, though. It will be straight forward storytelling. I do that because there is a difference between the written word and the spoken word. With the spoken word, the emotion can be heard in the way the story is told, so the story?s lesson is learned directly from the telling.

Lau r a Cr ock et t :

I have three classes in development.The first two are self-guided learning:The Ancients Speak, which is a class in mythology and civilization; and a series I?ve been presenting live, called, Dressing for the Ages, History as Told By a Dress. The third class is for writers who are looking for research material, and characters/events that have not been written about. That will be a zoom class.

In Leading Ladies, I press the point ofnotplaying the victim. Because only you can decide whether or not you?re a victim. I encourage the women to get in touch with their dark side, or shadows, to learn how to protect themselves, both physical and emotionally. Everyone, male and female, needs that lesson. Essentially, this is about not giving into fear. That is what courage is. Not letting fear stop you.

Anyone who needs some tutoring can go to my website and fill out the contact form, to let me know what they need, and when they need it.

Lau r a Cr ock et t : In addition to the teaching projects I am writing a new book. Its title is Leading Ladies. Its a book on leadership, for women. I use mythological and historical women as examples of leadership. I encourage women to find and develop their own leadership style, and not copy a man?s style. There are many instances of women who were effective leaders in their own right.

There are so many assumptions out there, from both sides and all sides, of the philosophical aisle.

I read all sorts of stuff, and the number one issue is this constant bleating about the end of the USA. The left tells us to be afraid of the right, and the right tells us to be afraid of the left. Is it any wonder people are confused?

My two favorite pieces of advice on how to live meaningful life, are from the Bible: The first is this: Have no fear, for I am with you. The second is this: For all your learning, get understanding. Those two versus are my bedrock.

Thanks so much for having me here to talk about my life and work. I?ve always enjoyed the Irish News & Entertainment. I look forward to working with you on that idea I spoke of for next St. Patrick?s Day, when we get back live, but can stream venues across the globe. Live, from your favorite pub, it?s St. Patrick?s Day! Yes! There are several pubs out here in Bakersfield. I?ll start lining them up.

The View from Ireland US an d EU h ave w eigh ed in t o su ppor t Nor t h er n Ir elan d in r ecen t w eek s.

By M au r ice Fit zpat r ick World leaders gathered in June at the G7 summit in Cornwall, England, to discuss issues of global significance? climate change, the distribution of Covid-19 vaccinations across the world, America being ?back?(as President Biden put it) and an international standard of corporation tax. There was an additional issue which, far from being of global significance, is of little significance at all for many observers. Even so, US President Biden, the French premier Emmanuel Macron and several European senior technocrats used the occasion to haul the British government over the coals for its failure to stand by its treaty obligations to facilitate the new economic framework of Northern Ireland.

In the lead-up to the gathering at Cornwall, the US embassy in London issued a démarche to the UK government for its failure to implement the Northern Ireland Protocol (the treaty the UK signed with the EU to handle trade and customs in Northern Ireland after Brexit). A démarche is polite-speak for a rebuke; in this case, it is not a far cry from an ultimatum. That is not what the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson wanted to hear as he prepared to welcome world leaders to English shores for the G7.

The question begs why Johnson would allow himself to become so exposed on this matter.

Undoubtedly, he is a dilettantish negotiator whose judgement is consistently unsound (his record of governance during the pandemic is among the worst in the world). However, since it was always abundantly clear that the EU would not permit Britain to renege on its treaty obligations and that the US would also weigh in to ensure that Britain meets its commitments, Johnson has embarrassed himself more than usual.

Johnson?s political hero is Winton Churchill, the WWII prime minister whose jingoism knew no bounds. However, a more apt historical analogue for Johnson in relation to Northern Ireland is the UK Prime Minister during the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher. Like Thatcher, Johnson acts unilaterally on Northern Ireland since it is part of the jurisdiction of the UK. Thatcher, too, believed that the US would stand with her or, at a minimum, stay out of her domestic issues: she banked on her close relationship with President Reagan to

guarantee that, just as Johnson banked on President Trump?s support. Absent the leadership of Speaker Tip O?Neill and Senator Ted Kennedy in the House and Senate, it is doubtful that Thatcher would have signed the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1985. The separation of powers in Washington DC stymied the agendas of Thatcher and Johnson: senior figures in the US Congress were (and are) willing to trade their political capital to protect the interests of Northern Ireland. Despite apparently being a student of history, Johnson is learning the hard way that he cannot ignore political Washington on the Irish Question.

The US and EU interventions are timely because the British Brexit minister, David Frost, has fuelled the already considerable tensions in loyalist communities in Northern Ireland, where loyalists threaten violence unless the Protocol is abandoned. Frost even set July 12th as a deadline for significant re-negotiations of the Protocol. The choice of date was deliberately provocative: that is the date loyalists when mark victories in 17th-century battles with an intensity that is matched by the paucity of anything more recent to gloat over. Symbolism aside, the only problem with re-negotiating the Protocol is that it has already been agreed and signed? as everyone knows.

Every year the marching seasont takes place in Northern Ireland starting in April and and ending in August; the BIG DAY is 12 July when King William's victory at the Battle of the Boyne is commemorated!.

What they should also know is that there is a history of the UK yielding to loyalist violent threats and it never ends well. In fact, Northern Ireland was founded upon such a travesty. When loyalists armed to oppose the passage of a Home Rule bill (self-rule for Ireland) in the 1910s, the UK government relented to their pressure and the result was the creation of a state carved out to ensure unionist domination. In a recent RTÉ documentary,Partition, British Conservative Party politician, Michael Portillo expressed his discomfort that his party ?put themselves in opposition to the will of parliament? and the will of the Crown?and capitulated to the blackmail.

One hundred years since partition, the UK?s and Ireland?s positions in the world have changed unrecognisably. Ireland?s leverage in international affairs was non-existent a century ago whereas the British Empire still retained immense influence. Britain?s ?solution?was the creation of the state and partitioning Ireland in the early 1920s engendered a deeply discriminatory polity.

Over the decades several important agreements were brokered between London and Dublin (often over the heads of unionists) to address the injustice of Northern Ireland. What made the Good Friday Agreement different was that it was also negotiated by the main political parties in

Northern Ireland and endorsed by the electorate(s) on the island of Ireland, and it had the support of the US and the EU. Today, with EU and US support on matters pertaining to the border and the Good Friday Agreement, the pendulum has swung the other way.

Even so, entitled attitudes in London and deranged beliefs in violence as a means of protecting loyalist identity persist. A good illustration of the latter comes in a recent book by Susan McKay,Northern Protestants: On Shifting Ground. The book is replete with grassroots perspectives of loyalists who feel alienated both from the institutions of state in Northern Ireland and now ? after Brexit ? from the UK government.

One of McKay?s sources, Joel Keyes, a young man who vacillates in the book from a commitment to political and less unambiguously political means of achieving political objectives, declined to answer three central questions McKay posed to him: ?Who will they fight now? Who will arm them?

What will victory look like??

In this debate, all roads lead back to Brexit. Is it too much to ask that Johnson and his cabinet finally face the fact that their Brexit fantasy has fundamentally destabilised Northern Ireland and that the minimum they should do is to act in good faith?

New Analysis & Commentary for July

By John McNally

Irish Unity Debate Gains Momentum Ireland?s Unity referendum will be the most critical constitutional debate about the future of the island of Ireland in 100 years. And because the referendum, or border poll, is not imminent makes this precisely the time to discuss the mechanics of merging the economic and political systems of the South and North of Ireland. The major political parties in the South have finally recognized this and have joined the discussion by speeches about their views on unity. Sinn Fein went further and produced position papers dealing with sectarianism and the economic benefits of a united Ireland. Ireland was partitioned based on a sectarian headcount and perpetuated by discrimination and inequality. Reunification is the best way out of this predicament. And a reunified Ireland will give the island an economic boost by integrating their systems coupled with North rejoining the European Community plus US and European investments. And we in the US want to help. Our Congress recently voted unanimously to protect the Good Friday Agreement. And let?s not forget Canada, South Africa, and the many other nations who supported the Irish Peace Process and will be enthusiastic to see the provisions for Irish national

self-determination come to fruition.

Some look to the past and fear Loyalist?s violence will rattle the Irish people's will to vote for unity, so let's examine loyalists' attempts to use violence to influence an outcome in our post-Good Friday Agreement era. Since 1998 Orangemen have been prevented from marching down the Garvaghy Road in the face of loyalist violence. In 2012 when the Belfast City Council voted to limit the days the Union Jack flies over city hall, loyalists rioted and protested on and off for years and, in the end, only hurt local businesses. And April?s riots by Loyalists couldn?t change the Brexit Protocol and failed to instigate a Nationalists response after attempting to breach peace walls. This is not to say loyalists aren?t capable of causing people great grief; it only goes to show that violence no longer trumps the will of the people.

The Irish Word Is Out!! Maire Clerken's ?Once Upon a Time in Ireland? IS A HIT! Revisiting Irish folk tales through Máire's storytelling was akin to me seeing Shakespeare live for the first time in Stratford-upon-Avon. The words became real and I suddenly understood the magic. I was transfixed? Michael Dillon, Principal, Michael Dillon Irish Dance School Clerkin as a storyteller is a mystical force of nature, inspiring children of all ages to dream again? Liam Reidy, President of the United Irish Cultural Center, San Francisco Máire's storytelling sessions are an absolute wonder. She is a force of boundless energy and radiant joy as she wraps herself in the cloak of the Irish seanchaí, the beloved storyteller of days of old. And she's the only person I've seen who can keep my small children intrigued and engaged for a full hour of enchanting stories of wild winds, midnight fairy dance parties, ancient druids, and cursed castles?

Artist Brian Boylan's Art Inspires Amazing Irish Dance Dress

ABOVE: M ar gar et Alexan der , a

st u den t an d Ir ish Dan cer w it h Scoil Rin ce Ni Riada in Las Vegas, Nevada. In t h e ph ot o sh e is w ear in g a dr ess in spir ed by t h e Ch ildr en Of Lir pain t in g by Br ian Boylan Recently,Margaret Alexander who has been a student of Irish Dance for the past 12 years wrote to Irish born, South Bay based Celtic Artist Brian Boylan.

Boylan is a great friend of the Irish Arts & Entertainment and well known to our readers. He was happy to share this story with us.

Turns out Margaret was enamored and interested in the Irish Legend of the Children Of Lir that she had seen on her Irish Dance dress.

Margaret explained to Brian, "In 2015, my family purchased an Irish dance dress secondhand from a dancer in the UK. The dress was made by Siopa Rince based in Dublin, Ireland.

Margaret wrote, "The designs on the dress are based around the legend of the Children of Lir. At the time, I was unfamiliar with the story, but I soon was fascinated and read multiple versions online. In doing so, I stumbled across your artwork only to find that the designs on the front and back three panels of the dress are identical to your artwork, aside from a few less colors in the embroidery!" After her discovery, she sent these pictures reprinted here to Boylan! Brian was delighted that the dressmaker was inspired by his work We in turn thought it was a great feature for the Celtic Camera, Thanks to Margaret and Brian for the submission! ED. Iriish Arts
