THANKS TO THE FILIPINOS

World War II : GUERILLA WARFARE IN THE PHILIPPINES Even before Pearl Harbor MacArthur, as commander of the forces defending the Philippines, considered the possibility of waging a guerrilla war. Under existing war plans his forces were expected to hold off a Japanese attack for several months before an American relief expedition could reach them. As part of his strategy for such a contingency, MacArthur established an embryo underground intelligence service among the numerous American businessmen, miners, and plantation owners on the islands and also contemplated the withdrawal of some Filipino reservists into the mountains to serve as guerrillas. These initial ideas, however, amounted to little more than tentative proposals.

COMMENTARY I MP

Hey liberals, the race card has expired We have a crisis in this country and some people continue to make the false claim that the Tea Party movement is racist, simply because many of us disagree with the policies of the Obama Administration. They also play the race card to try to dismiss President Obama’s leadership deficiencies. Last week, a reporter asked me about some homemade signs at early Tea Party rallies, which were offensive toward President Obama and which quickly disappeared from subsequent rallies. But the reporter never mentioned the barrage of Bush-bashing by the liberals in the media who made it a sport when Bush was president. When a black listener to my radio show finally figured out that I am an American Black Conservative (ABC) who disagrees with the failed policies of the Obama Administration, he did not call me a racist but resorted to calling me “shameless,” since I dared to disagree with our black president. I pointed out to him that some black people can think for themselves, and that we all have a right to criticize our elected office holders. You will notice that I did not refer to them as leaders. That would have been inaccurate. Recently, I won the presidential straw poll at the Tea Party National Policy Summit in Phoenix, Arizona. During an interview last week, a reporter asked if I won because the Tea Party people are trying to dispel the accusations of racism. Never mind that this is the third unscientific presidential straw poll I have won in the last couple of months, along with RedState.com and WHO Radio in Des Moines, Iowa. And then last week in the World Net Daily straw poll, I finished in a statistical tie for first place with Sarah Palin, Ron Paul and Allen West. Since Rep-

Page 4 April 1, 2011 THE MILITARY PRESS

resentative West is also an American Black Conservative (ABC), it is highly unlikely that so many people in different straw polls are voting for us to show that they are not racist. Such a ridiculous conclusion would be an insult to both Representative West and me. If people would look at our respective histories, they just might notice a long list of “red meat” accomplishments. Another reporter asked me last week, “Why do Tea Party people like you so much?” What? Could it be they liked my message of less government, free markets, upholding the Constitution and individual responsibility? Can the liberal mind possibly consider that people like me because they see some leadership in Herman Cain? Could the people who are part of this massive citizens’ movement be looking past the color of my skin? Maybe people like my common sense ideas about how we get this country back on the right track. Be-

cause it is clear from the dozens of speeches and town hall meetings I have done across the country that most people feel we are definitely on the wrong track with this administration. That is, everybody except the liberals and the so-called progressives. So get over it! The race card has expired! Intelligent thinkers are not buying it. The expired race card is not going to dismiss the lack of leadership by this president. He has not focused on the right problems. His priorities are politically motivated. He has not surrounded himself with the right people, and he has not put the interest of the American people first. Most people have gotten past race. They are looking for results. The opinions, beliefs and viewpoints expressed by the various authors and forum participants in this publication do not necessarily reflect the opinions, beliefs and viewpoints of the Military Press.

Letters to Military Press

Reader loves ‘Bulge’ article I can’t thank you enough for the article on the Battle of the Bulge which appeared in the latest issue of your magazine, which I always read. I will celebrate my 90th birthday in a few more days and I vividly remember all the news about the Bulge. A line from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Ad-

dress comes to mind: “The world... can never forget what they did here.” A family friend fought in the bulge; was wounded but survived. I sent a copy of your article to his daughter. I thought her kids would enjoy it. Keep up the good work. — Catherine Damato

COMMENTARY I MP

Crisis in japan I’ve spent the last few days walking around my quiet little Boston neighborhood looking at the houses, the cars, the shops, the trees. I look at my wife, my neighbors, my cat. Then I close my eyes, and in that darkness I see it all wiped out, washed away, obliterated, hattered to kindling and utterly gone.

Two Ghouls By William Rivers Pitt truthout | Op-Ed I see a moonscape of annihilation, no reference points in sight, nothing familiar. I see the day after the end of everything, and the horror of it comes nowhere close to the reality that is Japan. There are no words for this. Only the pictures can tell the tale, but you can’t photograph radiation, so even that falls short. It is,

quite simply, one of the worst events I have seen in my life, and I am half a planet away. Actually being there, buried in rubble or looking for missing loved ones or staring down a nuclear nightmare, is more than my mind can encompass. And it’s not nearly over. The horror of all this is only just beginning. The funeral industry in the stricken northern region is already overwhelmed, and there are still thousands — if not tens of thousands — of bodies waiting to be found. The process of cleaning up the devastation and then rebuilding will be Herculean in scope. Looming over it all is the seemingly inexorable threat posed by six damaged nucle-

ar reactors. The destruction and suffering involved here is unspeakable...and so, of course, the ghouls descended. In this, there are degrees of ghoulishness. Comedian Gilbert Gottfried made some Twitter jokes which failed with such terminal velocity that he was fired from his Aflac spokesman gig an hour after he hit ‘Send.’ Rapper 50 Cent sent a Tweet about having to “evacuate his hoes,” another attempt at humor that fell utterly and obnoxiously flat. The moral here, I suppose, is that celebrities should have their Twitter accounts suspended whenever a disaster takes place, so as to save them from themselves. These are two fairly nauseating examples of some of the reactions to what happened in Japan, but these pale in comparison to the reactions from a pair of soulless cretins we know all too well. Try to contain your shock, but yes, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh went out of their way to peg the needle on the Ghoul-o-Meter in the aftermath of the Japan calamity. Mr. Beck, facing the recently revealed possibility of being removed from the Fox tribe, decided to double down on The Crazy by claiming the earthquake and tsunami in Japan were divine retribution from God for bad behavior and the existence of Islam, among other things: Beck: “We can’t see the connections here. Now look, I’m not saying God is, you know, causing earthquakes. Well — I’m not saying that he — I’m not not saying that either.” “God, what God does is God’s business, I have no idea. But I’ll tell you this... whether you call it Gaia or whether you call it Jesus — there’s a message being sent. And that is, ‘Hey, you know that stuff we’re doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it.’ I’m just saying. And — yesterday I got home and I was thinking about all the messages that I could bring in, all the things that I could tell ya, and oh I’ve got stuff on Hezbollah. Oh, I have stuff on radical Islam in America that’ll make your eyes fall out. Or I could just tell you the answer, and the answer is: Buckle up. Buckle up, ‘cause it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Make sure you keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. Because, things are gonna get bumpy and, just a few reminders there at the beginning as this rollercoaster takes off, always a good safety tip: Keep your arms and legs in. Don’t do anything stupid, what do you say we follow the big top ten. You can call them Moses’ ten commandments, or ten rules of thumb. What do you say we start doing those things? Because the things we are doing really suck and they’re not getting better. (Emphasis added) So yeah, Beck is not saying that God struck Japan because you’re a bad person doing bad things and because he has stuff on radical Islam...but he’s not not saying it, either. Got it? Me neither.

The theme of a vengeful Gaia is suddenly all the rage for the scumbag wing of the Radio Right, as evidenced by Rush Limbaugh’s gleeful reaction — literally: gleeful — to the catastrophe in Japan. The March 15th edition of his radio show featured a caller who joked about nature taking a hard shot at Japan despite that nation’s excellent recycling policies. Vomitous hilarity ensued: Caller: I need some of your wisdom. I’m confused. At the top of the first hour, you played a clip. Diane Sawyer, I believe, about the recycling that is still going on in Japan. Limbaugh: I did. You’re right. Caller: If these are the people that invented the Prius, have mastered public transportation, recycling, why did mother earth, Gaia if you will, hit them with this disaster? Limbaugh: Well, that’s an interesting question. Let’s go back and grab Diane Sawyer. Audio sound bite number nine. This is her report on a shelter for refugees in Japan and how they are handling their waste management. [Plays clip] Diane Sawyer: This is a shelter. Some of these people here for days, and look, it’s recycling. Organized for recycling. Guest: Plastic, combustible, burnable, canes.

[End clip] Limbaugh: Did I really hear this? Did I really hear -- Diane Sawyer is in a refugee camp in Japan. Play this again. This is almost like a kindergarten teacher talking to the four year olds. That is how old you are in kindergarten, right? Five? Five? Four? Alright. This is — some of these people here for days and look, look it’s recycling, organized for recycling. [Plays clip] Sawyer: This is a shelter. Some of these people here for days and look it’s recycling, organized for recycling. Guest: Plastic, combustible, burnable, canes. [End clip] Rush: My God, she sounds like she saw her husband for the first time in six months there. Oh, it’s recycling, look, organized for -— these people are in the midst of earthquake devastation and the credit they’re getting is for recycling and our caller Chris with a great question. The Japanese have done so much to save the planet. He’s right. They’ve given us the Prius. Even now, refugees are still recycling their garbage, and yet Gaia levels them [laughs], just wipes them out. Wipes out their nuclear plants, all kinds of

COMMENTARY I MP

Crisis in japan radiation. What kind of payback is this? That is an excellent question. They invented the Prius. In fact, where Gaia blew up is right where they make all these electric cars. That’s where the tsunami hit. All those brand new electric cars sitting there on the lot. I like the way this guy was thinking. It’s like -- it’s like Gaia hit the Prius in [inaudible]. It’s like they were in the crosshairs, if we can use that word, it does. What is Gaia trying to tell us here? What is the mother of environmentalism trying to say with this hit? Great observation out there, Chris.

and women find it all as funny as Rush does. Do me a favor, gentle reader.

Step outside. Look all around you at your familiar surroundings, your home, your car, your place of business, your garden, your family, your pets, your neighbors, your friends, your life. Now close your eyes and imagine all of it gone, just gone, reduced to matchsticks and blood. Now make a joke. Blame it all on people you don’t like. Yeah, I didn’t think you could. You’re a human being, not a ghoul.

(Emphasis added) It is worthwhile to note that, for reasons passing understanding, Rush Limbaugh is still prominently featured on American Armed Forces radio. Currently, there are scores of American service members in Japan assisting with the search for the lost and the injured. They are witnessing firsthand the reality of this disaster. One wonders if those men

VIEWPOINT I MP Dr. Starner Jones is a young physician. His short letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a “Culture Crisis” instead of a “Health Care Crisis.” It’s worth a quick read: Dear Mr. President: During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient wearing an expensive shiny gold ring, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular musical ringtone. While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as “Medicaid.” During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer. And you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman’s health care? I contend that our nation’s “health care crisis” is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a “crisis of culture,” a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one’s self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that “I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me.” Once you fix this “culture crisis” that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you’ll be amazed at how quickly our nation’s health care difficulties will disappear. Respectfully, STARNER JONES, MD

The yellow footprints

As the brakes on the bus squeak to a sudden halt, his heart begins to race with anxiety. The warm, hurried breaths of the skittish teenager sitting next to him seem to echo in his ear as they both wait, eyes shut tight and heads tucked down in a modified fetal position. The screeching sound of the door flying open pierces a brief moment of silence. Suddenly every second feels like an hour as he anticipates every sound and every action in the dark world around him. One, two, three footsteps ... then the voice, “Look at me right now!” Those memorable “yellow footprints” are the first step in the transformation to being a Marine.

WWII vet discovers he’s not a U.S. citizen

By Liz Goodwin Ninety-five-year-old Leeland Davidson discovered recently that he’s not a U.S. citizen, despite living nearly 100 years in the country and serving in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Davidson, from Centralia, Washington, told KOMO News that he discovered he wasn’t a U.S. citizen when he was turned down for an enhanced driver’s license he needed for a trip to Canada to visit relatives. “We always figured because he was born to U.S. parents he’s automatically a U.S. citizen,” said Davidson’s daughter, Rose Schoolcroft. Davidson was born in British Columbia in 1916, but his parents didn’t register the birth with the U.S. government to ensure they knew he was a citizen. He checked up on his citizenship before joining the Navy and was told by an inspector at the U.S. Department of Labor Immigration and Naturalization Service he had nothing to worry about. Now he worries that he won’t be able to prove his citizenship, because his parents were born in Iowa before local governments started keeping records of birth certificates in 1880. “I want it squared away before I pass away,” he says. Schoolcraft says they tried to dissuade him from pursuing the matter. Employees at the local passport office scared them, telling her father “If he pursued it, (he could) possibly be deported or [be] at risk of losing Social Security.” “We keep telling him, leave it alone, leave it alone, and he won’t, like a dog with a bone,” Schoolcraft told the Centralia Chronicle. But Davidson says: “I want to get it done before I die.” He also still wants to visit his friends and family in Canada. Sen Patty Murray’s office is helping him with his application.

#1: The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest

1957: The respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, “Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.”

#2: Sidd Finch

1985: Sports Illustrated published a story about a new rookie pitcher who planned to play for the Mets. His name was Sidd Finch, and he could reportedly throw a baseball at 168 mph with pinpoint accuracy. This was 65 mph faster than the previous record. Surprisingly, Sidd Finch had never even played the game before. Instead, he had mastered the “art of the pitch” in a Tibetan monastery under the guidance of the “great poetsaint Lama Milaraspa.” Mets fans celebrated their teams’ amazing luck at

having found such a gifted player, and Sports Illustrated was flooded with requests for more information. In reality this legendary player only existed in the imagination of the author of the article, George Plimpton.

#4: Nixon for President

1992: National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation program announced Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, “I didn’t do anything wrong, and I won’t do it again.” Accompanying this announcement were audio clips of Nixon delivering his candidacy speech. Listeners responded viscerally to the announce-

Page 12 April 1, 2011 THE MILITARY PRESS

ment, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and outrage. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Hockenberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon’s voice was impersonated by comedian Rich Little.

#3: The Taco Liberty Bell

1996: The Taco Bell Corporation announced it had bought the Liberty Bell and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called the National Historic Park

in Philadelphia where the bell was housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed, a few hours later, that it was all a practical joke.

#5: The Left-Handed Whopper

1998: Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a “Left-Handed Whopper” specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new Whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, “many others requested their own ‘right handed’ version.”

If so, he is a bigger amateur on the world stage than some suspect. That speech is worth revisiting. President Obama says, “humanitarian reasons” are a motivating factor for State Senator Obama said on Oct. 2, 2002 that he isn’t “opposed to all war,” using American and allied forces to topple Gadhafi. What makes Gadhafi worthy of special humanitarian concerns when many other governments similarly oppress their people? Gadhafi can’t live forever. The actuarial table will soon catch up with him. What’s the rush, especially if a power vacuum is created in Libya that terrorist groups are all too happy to fill, as they might do in Egypt and other countries in the region that are now experiencing revolutions? Former Ambassador Aujali strongly doubts that will happen, but no one can be certain. If Iraq qualified as a “dumb war” starting at up to 80 people in Obama’s mind back in 2002, what is smart about starting a third war against Moammar Gadhafi today? Is the United Nations, rather than Congress, now the authority for such action? That’s what Democrats asked when President Bush was in the White House. It remains a valid question under President Obama.

Did you know you could qualify to become a Homefront Designer for free through the MyCAA program?

This year, first Lady Michelle Obama stated one of her goals was to create better career opportunities for military spouses. On a local level, Mrs. Jen Seivers, a Marine spouse, is accomplishing Mrs. Obama’s goal through her startup business, “Intuitive Staging, LLC.” Seivers hopes to help military families by redecorating their homes “using what they have.” Seivers is the wife of Marine Infantry Sgt Eugene Seivers, and she received funding for her interior redesign and business training through the Undersecretary of Defense’s My Career Advancement Account program. Like many military spouses, Mrs. Seivers had difficulty in the past finding worthwhile employment. Between relocations, deployments and the birth of her daughter, the odds have never worked in her favor. However, in January 2011, Mrs Seivers’ luck finally changed when she discovered the HomeFront Designers (HFD) program (www.homefrontdesigners.com). HomeFront Designers was founded by Jennifer Griswold, an Air Force spouse with a vision to help other military spouses pursue entrepreneurialism and Audra Slinkey an industry leader in staging and redesign training. Griswold designed a specific interior redesign training curriculum tailored specifically to military spouses. The online course is self-paced and teaches spouses how to center a redesign business around the needs of the military community, how to quickly relocate and re-establish their business when it is time to PCS, and how to tap into on-base housing contractors and use other spouses as viral marketers for consistent and continued business.

WORLD WAR HISTORY I MP

THANKS TO THE FILIPINOS World War II : GUERILLA WARFARE IN THE PHILIPPINES tensify preparations for guerrilla warfare in the southern islands. When he made his dramatic escape to Australia in March, he hoped to retain control over his remaining units in the Philippines from his theater headquarters, forcing the Japanese to defeat each force in turn. Through this command structure he also wanted to encourage a prolonged guerrilla resistance, paving the way for his return. The improvised arrangements for guerrilla warfare soon fell apart in the confusion of the surrender. Unaware of the reasons for MacArthur’s command structure, Marshall designated Lt. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright as the new commander of all U.S. forces in the Philippines. When Wainwright requested terms for the capitulation of Corregidor in May, the Japanese refused to accept his surrender unless he agreed to order all of the American troops in the Philippines to follow suit. Rationalizing that the guerrillas could do little, Wainwright submitted, sending staff officers to ensure compliance with his

The U.S. Army’s lack of a doctrine for guerrilla warfare militated against such a course of action, as did MacArthur’s own overestimation of the time available before the Japanese attack and the ability of his regulars and Filipino troops to stop or at least delay the enemy on the invasion beaches. His overconfidence was shared by many American officers in the islands, one of whom boasted that he could whip the Japanese with a company of Boy Scouts. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines in mid-December 1941, their rapid advance not only dispelled American delusions of superiority but also left little time to organize guerrilla warfare. By 23 December MacArthur’s beach defense plan lay in ruins, and his remaining forces were withdrawing into the Bataan peninsula. Cut off from Bataan, Col. John P. Horan near Baguio, Capt. Walter Cushing along the Ilocos coast, Capt. Ralph Praeger in the Cagayan Valley, and Maj. Everett Warner in Isabela Province formed guerrilla units from the broken remnants of Filipino forces in northern Luzon, and MacArthur sent Col. Claude A. Thorp to organize partisans in central Luzon (Map 6). To meet the need for intelligence from behind enemy lines, Brig. Gen. Simeon de Jesus organized a network of about sixty agents who infiltrated by foot or by boat across Manila Bay and reported by radio to a central station in a Manila movie theater, which forwarded the data to MacArthur on Corregidor. Meanwhile, MacArthur directed Maj. Gen. William F. Sharp in Mindanao to in-

orders. Caught in a dilemma between surrender and insubordination, most commanders reluctantly complied, although many permitted their more recalcitrant subordinates to escape. In Mindanao Sharp, fifty-five and lacking the physical and mental stamina for active duty, had little enthusiasm for waging a guerrilla campaign, particularly against the wishes of Wainwright. Despite MacArthur’s hopes that he could keep alive the torch of resistance from the southern islands, the American commander of Mindanao and the bulk of his forces thus laid down their arms. Those Americans who did not surrender faced a major battle to survive, let alone form a viable guerrilla movement. In addition to Japanese patrols, they had to cope with the tropical climate, disease, low morale, and lack of food, equipment, and other supplies. Col. Russell W. Volckmann noted later that the fugitives tended to fall into three categories: some gave up all hope and merely waited to die; a few resorted to stealing, cheatPage 16 April 1, 2011 THE MILITARY PRESS

HEARD THE ONE ABOUT THE . . . I MP

True Story

Filipino World War II veteran Tomas Culanag, a Capitol Hill activist and a regular White House protester, joined his fallen comrades. Culanag served as sergeant in the New Philippine Scouts of the United States Army from 1946 until 1949. Before that he was a recognized WWII guerrilla and a member of the Philippine Commonwealth Army. He was a born in Bayombong in the province of Nueva Vizcaya. He immigrated to the US when he was naturalized in 1993. Despite his chronic asthma and arthritis, Culanag joined the Filipino veterans “equity bill” campaign. He marched to restore their official recognition and to win back their veterans health, pension and burial benefits because of a discriminatory US law passed by the Congress in 1946.

This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things. He immediately phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available. George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. “Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.” Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!” George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

IRS Audit

A man, called on to testify at the IRS, asked his accountant for advice on what to wear. “Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper,” the accountant replied. Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice. “Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie.” Confused, the man went to his Rabbi, told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution of the dilemma. “Let me tell you a story,” replied the Rabbi. “A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. ‘Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck.’ But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. Wear your most sexy negligee with a V-neck right down to your navel.” The man protested: “What does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?” “No matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed.”

Carissa Moore the 2011 Roxy Pro Gold Coast Champion

Red Bull Surf Athlete Carissa Moore has staked an early claim to the 2011 ASP Women’s World Tour title, grabbing the win at the Roxy Pro Gold Coast in Australia to kick off the season. The competition venue of Snapper Rocks on Australia’s Gold Coast produced the goods for the final day of women’s competition, as the world’s best female surfers collectively announced a new standard of high-performance waveriding. “It’s been an amazing finish to the event and the waves were so good for us today,” Moore said after an electric final with 16-year-old Tyler Wright. “If I didn’t have priority and hadn’t dropped in on Tyler on that wave, then she probably would have gotten the score and won the heat. It’s been an incredible event for me and I’m excited for the year ahead.” The young Hawaiian’s victory, the fourth elite win of her career, can be taken as a fierce declaration of her plans for the year, as she clearly eyes her maiden ASP World Title. “It’s still early in the season but the ASP Women’s World Title is definitely a goal,” Moore said. “I’m just happy to be surfing the way I am and getting results. I’m riding a Mayhem Matt Biolis shape. It’s a 5’ 9” and I love it; it’s kind of a magic board, so I’m stoked. Luckily, I have a couple just like it so I’m trying to take care of them.” Now sitting in the driver’s seat in the hunt for the 2011 ASP Women’s World Title, Moore’s looking forward to the next event.

THE GREAT DEPRESSION line and got it under control. The Great Depression changed the way we live today because it made the government more careful about the way the it spends money. Also it changed the way we live today because many people became poor and their families were affected drastically. This event caused people to go bankrupt and many people lost their jobs with not even a penny to spare. Every store closed because they couldn’t pay rent for the shop. People didn’t know where to turn. Some starved or asked for charity (for food). The

“Anyone who bought stocks in mid-1929 and held onto them saw most of his or her adult life pass by before getting back to even.” In October 1929 the stock market fell to an all time low. This event was called The Great Depression. Two years after the depression started, in 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president. He gave a famous speech promising to end the Great Depression. “I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people” He started a new program called The New Deal. Civilian Conservation Corps, known as the CCC, was one of the main programs used to stop the rapidly advancing Great Depression. The Great Depression ended right as soon as World War II started and they put money into war materials. Sales went up and they provided jobs and people got money and stores back. Everything was restored back to normal. The Great Depression made many nations scared of what could happen to them. Every year during the depression, the stock market would go down at least 10%. Some thought if they changed their government, everything would return back to the way it was before the depression. People living during the Great depression thought the president at this time, Herbert Hoover, didn’t do anything about the Great Depression. When the next president was elected, Franklin D. Roosevelt, he got the government into

across nations, but in most countries it started in about 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s or early 1940s. It was the longest, most widespread, and deepest depression of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how far the world’s economy can decline.The depression originated in the U.S., starting with the fall in stock prices that began around September 4, 1929 and became worldwide news with the stock market crash of October 29, 1929 (known as Black Tuesday). From there, it quickly spread to almost every country in the world.

The Wall Street Crash

Great Depression was one of the biggest events that affected every one in the 1930s. Unemployment rate in the U.S. 1910–1960, with the years of the Great Depression (1929–1939) highlighted. The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression in the decade preceding World War II. The timing of the Great Depression varied

The Wall Street crash of October 1929, also known as the Great Crash, and the Stock Market crash of 1929, was the most devastating economic downturn in the history of the United States, taking into consideration the full extent and duration of its fallout. The crash signaled the beginning of the 12-year Great Depression that affected all Western industrialized countries[2] and that did not end in the United States until the onset of American mobilization for World War II at the end of 1941.

CLASSICS I MP

MUST SEE MOVIES! The Grapes of Wrath

A marvelous production of Steinbeck’s epic By Neil Dennis

Henry Fonda’s portrayal of Tom Joad captures perfectly the humanity and compassion of the Steinbeck character, an ex-con who breaks his parole conditions by joining his family in their epic journey across the southern U.S. to a “better life” in California. This is not the usual Hollywood fare. Tragedy and betrayal beset the Joad family from the outset. But it is nonetheless an uplifting movie. Spirit, compassion and tenderness mark them out. Fonda’s role is particularly understated, and we see, as in Steinbeck’s masterly epic, the maternally robust figure of Ma holding the family together. The performances all round are wonderful, and Ford’s direction and sense of space under the big sky of the Midwest is breathtaking. This film is now largely a testament to the time in which it was set, but like the war movies that were soon to follow, a story that needed telling lest we forget.

Henry Fonda Born in Grand Island, Nebraska, Henry Fonda started his acting debut with the Omaha Community Playhouse, a local amateur theater troupe directed by Dorothy Brando. He moved to the Cape Cod University Players and later Broadway, New York to expand his theatrical career from 1926 to 1934. His first major roles in Broadway include “New Faces of America” and “The Farmer Takes a Wife.” The latter play was transfered to the screen in 1935 and became the start-up of Fonda’s lifelong Hollywood career. The following year he married Frances Seymour Fonda with whom he had two children: Jane and Peter Fonda also to become screen stars. He is most remembered for his roles as Abe Lincoln in “Young Mr. Lincoln” (1939), Tom Joad in “The Grapes of Wrath” (1940), for which he received an Academy Award Nomination, and later, Norman Thayer in “On Golden Pond: (1981), for which he received an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1982. Henry Fonda is considered one of Hollywood’s old-time legends and was friend and contemporary of James Stewart, John Ford and Joshua Logan. His movie career which spanned almost 50 years is completed by a notable presence in American theater and television.

State University after she had won the Miss Memphis beauty pageant. Bowden’s first film appearance was a small, uncredited role in the Barbara Stanwyck drama “Always Goodbye: (1938). After another small role in “Down On The Farm” (1938) and an appearance in “Young Mr. Lincoln” (1939) that was cut, Bowden went to the office of Fox writer/producer Nunnally Johnson, hoping he could give her a meatier role to prove herself. While Nunnally was not casting a project at the time, the two became romantically involved and married two years later. After a larger supporting role in director John Ford’s 1939 “Drums Along The Mohawk,” Bowden’s best performance came in the 1940 adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic Depression-era novel “The Grapes Of Wrath” playing Rose-of-Sharon Rivers, the pregnant sister of Henry Fonda’s Tom Joad. Although Johnson had written the screenplay adaptation for the film, he was always careful to point out that he did not help Bowden land the part. After two more film appearances – 1940’s “Jennie” and 1943’s “The Moon Is Down” – Bowden retired from film, to concentrate on raising her and Johnson’s three children. Through the 1940s to the 1960s, Bowden was known in Hollywood social circles for her elegant dinner parties.

Dorris Bowden Dorris Bowden, the actress best known for her appearance in the classic The Grapes Of Wrath before retiring from motion pictures, passed away on August 9, 2005 in Woodland Hills, California. She was 90. Born December 27, 1914 in Coldwater, Mississippi, Bowden was discovered by a 20th Century Fox studio talent scout in 1937 while attending Louisiana

NUCLEAR DISASTERS I MP

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukrainian SSR (now Ukraine). It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and it is the only one classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The disaster began during a systems test on 26 April 1986 at reactor number four of the Chernobyl plant, which is near the town of Pripyat. There was a sudden power output surge, and when an emergency shutdown was attempted, a more extreme spike in power output occurred, which led to a reactor vessel rupture and a series of explosions. This event exposed the graphite control rods of the reactor to air, causing them to ignite. The resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive smoke fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area, including Pripyat. The plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. Large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were evacuated, and over 336,000 people were resettled. According to official post-Soviet data. about 60% of the fallout landed in Belarus. The accident raised concerns about the safety of the Soviet nuclear power industry, as well as nuclear power in general, slowing its expansion for a number of years and forcing the Soviet government to become less secretive about its procedures. Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus have been burdened with the continuing and substantial decontamination and health care costs of the Chernobyl accident. More than fifty deaths are directly attributed to the accident, all among the reactor staff and emergency workers. Estimates of the total number of deaths attributable to the accident vary enormously, from possibly 4,000 to close to a million

Causes of Chernobyl Accident It is thought that the reason for

the accident is the unexperienced staff. The normal, experienced staff at the plant were planning a test on reactor four. The test was complicated but they were trained enough to perform it. The first thing working against them is that another power plant on the circuit went down, so Chernobyl was producing more power than usual to compensate. Then the day staff never got to the test. No-one ever told the night time staff not to do it, so they tried to perform the test. Things started getting our of control. They tried to use an emergency shutdown mechanism that failed. Now they had an uncontrolled nuclear reaction. Because the staff didn’t have the right Geiger counters, they knew the radiation levels were high, but didn’t know the true danger they were in. They stayed for about 3 days after the explosion trying

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant sarcophagus or stone coffin is a massive concrete envelope surrounding the nuclear reactor unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It is designed to halt the release of radiation into the atmosphere following the Chernobyl disaster on April 26, 1986 and encase the most dangerous area.The official Russian name is No 4. Ukrytiye which means housing or covering as opposed to sarcophagus.The sarcophagus locked 200 tons of radioactive lava, 30 tons of highly contaminated dust and 16 tons of uranium and plutonium. In 1996 it was deemed impossible to repair the inside of the sarcophagus as radiation levels were estimated to be as high as 10,000 röntgens per hour (normal background radiation in cities is usually around 20-50 microröntgens per hour) More than 400,000 cubic meters of concrete and 7,300 tons of metal framework were used during the erection of the sarcophagus. The building ultimately enclosed 740,000 m3 of heavily contaminated debris inside, together with contaminated soil.

The Ghost Town to pump water into the reactor to control it. They died weeks later from radiation poisoning. That is what is said to have caused the chernobyl disaster.

The town of Pripyat attracts many visitors because it is a true ghost town. People left in a rush leaving personal items behind. It has been as they left it for 20 years. While there has been some vandalism it is very minimal due to the health risk of being inside the exclusion zone. There is a bridge know as the bridge of death in pripyat. People would stand on it to look at the reactor melting down because it had a great view inside the crack of the reactor that could actually see the glowing melt-down. These people were killed by radiation poisoning within a few weeks. Trees are a huge danger in the exclusion zone be‘07 cadillac cts

Getting close to the reactor building requires protective gear. Some daring people have gone inside the building and the reactor and to take videos.

Cleaning Up

The 1979 Three Mile Island accident was a partial core meltdown in Unit 2 (a pressurized water reactor manufactured by Babcock & Wilcox) of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania near Harrisburg. The power plant was owned and operated by General Public Utilities and the Metropolitan Edison Co. It was the most significant accident in the history of the USA commercial nuclear power generating industry, resulting in the release of up to 481 PBq (13 million curies) of radioactive gases, and less than 740 GBq (20 curies) of the particularly dangerous iodine-131. The accident began at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, March 28, 1979, with failures in the non-nuclear secondary system, followed by a stuck-open pilot-operated relief valve (PORV) in the primary system, which allowed large amounts of nuclear reactor coolant to escape. In the end, the reactor was brought under control, although full details of the accident were not discovered until much later, following extensive investigations by both a presidential commission and the NRC. The Kemeny Commission Report concluded that “there will either be no case of cancer or the number

of cases will be so small that it will never be possible to detect them. The same conclusion applies to the other possible health effects.”Several epidemiological studies in the years since the accident have supported the conclusion that radiation releases from the accident had no perceptible effect on cancer incidence in residents near the plant, though these findings have been contested by one team of researchers. Public reaction to the event was probably influenced by The China Syndrome, a movie which had recently been released and which depicts an accident at a nuclear reactor. Communications from officials during the initial phases of the accident were felt to be confusing. The accident crystallized anti-nuclear safety concerns among activists and the general public, resulted in new regulations for the nuclear industry, and has been cited as a contributor to the decline of new reactor construction that was already underway in the 1970s. The incident was rated a five on the seven-point International Nuclear Event Scale: Accident With Wider Consequences.

After the accident there was an extensive cleanup project. This involved helicopters dumping tons and tons of concrete on top of the melting-down reactor. After a while this formed a concrete sarcophagus over the reactor. This has kept most of the radiation in but some is starting to leak out, and the sarcophagus is being damaged from exposure to the elements. All of the vehicles used during the cleanup became irradiated and there is now a “vehicle graveyard” containing irradiated helicopters, tanks, and trucks used during the cleanup. There is even a you-tube video of a helicopter falling apart in mid air while pouring concrete on the reactor. It isn’t known whether the malfunctioning helicopter had anything to do with the radiation or not.

Exclusion Zone Despite these incredible cleanup efforts, there is still a 30km exclusion zone around the Chernobyl plant. You need government permission to enter through one of many checkpoints surrounding the area.

Pripyat Kindergarten The Pripyat kindergarten school house is one of the most tragic areas of the Chernobyl area. When looking at pictures of the school house, one can feel the urgency with which the children left. Dolls left on bunks and papers and books scattered can still be seen. Recently, the school building has been a habitat for owls and other wild life that is just now returning to the area.

The Liquidators Liquidators is the name given in the former USSR to approximately 800,000 people who were in charge of the removal of the consequences of the April 26, 1986 Chernobyl disaster on the site of the event. According to Vyacheslav Grishin of the Chernobyl Union, the main organization of liquidators, “25,000 of the Russian liquidators are dead and 70,000 disabled, about the same in Ukraine, and 10,000 dead in Belarus and 25,000 disabled,” which makes a total of 60,000 dead (10% of the 600 000, liquidators) and 165,000 disabled.2

There’s no doubt in our minds that the Corvette ZR1 is the most powerful and most successful Corvette ever. But even the best things can be improved a bit, so Chevrolet has decided to offer a few updates for the 2011 model year. On sale at a price of $109,800 ($3,000 more than the previous year), the ZR1 will be offered in two versions: a standard 1ZR and a 3ZR that adds an extra $10k to the sports car’s price. For 2011, the ZR1 will be offered with two new exterior colors: Inferno Orange and Supersonic Blue. These colors will come with contrasting-color headlamps, an interior custom color stitching, and USB port and input jack included with navigation radio. Under the hood there is the same LS9 supercharged 6.2 liter V-8 engine rated at 638 HP and 604 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is backed by an upgraded, stronger six-speed manual transmission and a twin-disc clutch that provide exceptional clamping power. With a curb weight of 3,333 pounds, the Corvette ZR1 makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.4 seconds and can hit a top speed of 205 mph.

UPDATE: Chevrolet has revealed a new commercial for the 2011 ZR1, and

we have to say BMW and Porsche will have plenty to be embarrassed about after watching it. Ouch, that’s got to hurt

INTERVIEW with Movie Maven I MP Opening in theatres this Friday from director David Schwimmer and Millennium Films comes a film for all parents to see with “Trust.” This film tells the story of Annie Cameron (Liana Liberato), a fourteenyear-old girl coming into her own. Starting a new year in school means making new friends, even on the Internet. Annie meets Charlie, someone who shares her interest in sports and is very supportive. Her dad Will (Clive Owen) and mom Lynn (Catherine Keener) discuss her friendship with Charlie and enjoy seeing their daughter happy. As older brother Tyler (Noah Crawford) goes off to college with parents in tow, Annie decides its time to meet up Charlie. What happens then is every parent’s nightmare, as Annie becomes the victim of an Internet predator. Now the family must find a way to cope, discover why it happened and how to heal knowing nothing will ever be the same. Owen takes his part as the devastated father seriously here. Every range of emotion a parent can feel and every thing a parent would want to do is believable here. This film is intense regarding how the Internet has changed the way kids view relationships. Being a father himself, Owen shares his feeling on the film and its topic:

A big part of the story is about the fracturing after the event. The cliché version of the film is that a terrible thing happens and they soldier on and they give each other love and get through it. The reality it is that kind of stress can really fracture and upset people. They react differently under that kind of stress. The incident itself causes a kind of bereavement. Tracking the way it fracturing of what looks like a very healthy family in the beginning, you watch how everyone acts under that stress. Is that why you did the film? That’s what attracted me to the film because I thought it was so well plotted in the script and it felt very believable, real and that was a dimension and the heart of the film. We had to nail these awkward and real moments. That’s exactly what the director and cast have done, thank you Clive for sharing your thoughts with us.

I truly appreciate your time today Clive, So tell us, what do you think of the Internet and do you use such social media as Facebook? I don’t do Facebook; I don’t have time for it. It doesn’t really truly interest me really. I don’t have that kind of time to devote to something like that. Being a father yourself, what do you think are the affects of the Internet on kids? The Internet has changed radically the way kids relate to each other. When I was young we didn’t have the Internet. There is a false sense of safety typing out and having these intense relationships with people. You think they are safe because you are not actually there. You are not actually experiencing the relationship. The great lost art of face-to-face conversation right? Yes, when I was young, you talked and when having a relationship you did it face to face. You saw people. You related and found out things by engaging with people. It is not the same anymore. Kids have incredibly intense relationships through this what they think, is the safety of sitting there typing. It is false! It is not real. They are not experiencing the intimacy of the relationship. They think they are but there not. The family in this film goes through such pain, how would you describe it?

TUBS OF POPCORN: I give “Trust” three and a half tubs of popcorn out of five. This really is a film for families to see, especially where computers in the household is such a common occurrence. It is a hard look at the pain one family endures with a hope that it never happens to anyone ever again. In the end – it’s about the way we communicate.

TRAVELS with Howard Hian I MP

A Duck Landed On My Lap This is how it started. A Black Bellied Tree Duck landed on my lap, looked me straight in the eye and seemed to say “Buenos dias, bienvenidos a Las Caletas,” which I loosely translated as good morning and welcome to this island paradise. This was one of those grand moments that inveterate travelers (and writers) dream of. My wife, Susan, and I had signed up for an excursion of-

lions. A note for film buffs: Las Caletas was once owned by the legendary John Huston. The outing is an all-inclusive experience with open bar and a marvelous buffet lunch served on a mini-bluff overlooking the ocean. Attentive tableside service, linen tablecloths and napkins added a touch of class to the meal. Too soon, our idyllic afternoon, including perfect weather, came to an end but the frivolity and open bar lived on during the catamaran ride back to our ship. That evening I skipped the duck served in the restaurant. Special note: my hat from Outdoor Research is not only UPF 50+ rated but clearly ducks find it attractive!

TRUE CRIME I MP

WANTED: BONNIE & CLYDE Bonnie Parker (October 1, 1910 to May 23, 1934) and Clyde Barrow (March 24, 1909 to May 23, 1934) were wellknown outlaws, robbers and criminals who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression. Their exploits captured the attention of the American public during the “public enemy era” between 1931 and 1934. Though known today for his dozen or so bank robberies, Barrow in fact preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine

police officers and committed several civilian murders. The couple themselves were eventually ambushed and killed in Louisiana by law officers. Their reputation was cemented in American pop folklore by Arthur Penn’s 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. Even during their lifetimes, the couple’s depiction in the press was at considerable odds with the hardscrabble reality of their life on the road — particularly in the case of Parker. Though she was present at a hundred or more

Stefano Magaddino Stefano Magaddino (October 10, 1891 to July 19, 1974) was an American mobster who became the boss of the Buffalo crime family in western New York. His underworld influence stretched into Ohio and Southern Ontario. Known as Don Stefano to his friends and “The Undertaker” to others, he was also a charter member of the American mafia’s ruling council, otherwise known as “The Commission.” Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Magaddino emigrated to the United States in 1909 and settled in Brooklyn, New York. One of Magadinno’s cousins from Sicily was Joseph Bonanno, the future boss of the Bonanno crime family in New York City, the family Magaddino would leave behind. In 1921, in Avon, New Jersey, Magaddino was arrested for his involvement in the murder of a member of the rival Buccellato clan from Castellammare del Golfo.

Magaddino eventually moved to Niagara Falls, New York, then to Lewiston, another town on the Canadian border. With Prohibition in effect in the United States, Maggadino ran a profitable bootlegging business smuggling Canadian alcohol across the Niagara River into New York State. After Prohibition, Magaddino and his crime family made their money through loan sharking, illegal gambling, extortion, carjacking and labor racketeering. The Buffalo crime family held power in the underworld territories of western New York, Utica, Rochester along the

Mohawk River as far as Amsterdam, in eastern Pennsylvania, Youngstown, Ohio and as far north as Ontario. Magaddino led the Buffalo family through its glory years and its most powerful and profitable era in La Cosa Nostra. He was an old-style boss who preferred to stay in the background and not draw attention to himself or his criminal activities if possible. He ended up owning the Magaddino Memorial Chapel, a funeral home in Niagara Falls, New York.

National crime figure For fifty years, Magaddino was a dominant presence in the Buffalo underworld. He was the longest tenured boss in the history of the Mafia. Magaddino was also deeply involved in national La Cosa Nostra affairs. Magaddino was a charter member of Charles “Lucky” Luciano’s Mafia Commission and attended important underworld summits such as the 1946 Havana Conference and the 1957 Apalachin Conference. Although fairly popular, Magaddino had his share of enemies and survived several assassination attempts. In 1936, rival gangsters attempted

TRUE CRIME I MP felonies during her two years as Barrow’s companion, she was not the machine gun-wielding cartoon killer portrayed in the newspapers, newsreels and pulpy detective magazines of the day. Gang member W. D. Jones was unsure whether he had ever seen her fire at officers. Parker’s reputation as a cigar-smoking gun moll grew out of a playful snapshot found by police at an abandoned hideout, released to the press, and published nationwide, while she did chain-smoke Camel cigarettes, she was not a cigar smoker. Author-historian Jeff Guinn explains it was the release of these very photos that put the outlaws on the media map and launched their legend: “John Dillinger had matinee-idol good looks and Pretty Boy Floyd had the best possible nickname, but the Joplin photos introduced new criminal superstars with the most titillating trademark of all — illicit sex. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were young and unmarried. They undoubtedly slept together — after all, the girl smoked cigars.... Without Bonnie, the media outside Texas might have dismissed Clyde as a gun-toting punk, if it ever considered him at all. With her sassy photographs, Bonnie supplied the sex-appeal, the oomph, that allowed the two of them to transcend the small-scale thefts and needless killings that actually comprised their criminal careers

Stefano Magaddino to kill Magaddino with a bomb, killing his sister instead. In 1958, an assassin tossed a hand grenade through his kitchen window, which failed to explode. This second attempt on his life was said to be directed by mobsters who blamed Magaddino for the failed Appalachian Meeting, which was raided by New York State Police.

Magaddino had never spent any significant time in prison, but in 1968, he and his son Peter were arrested and charged with interstate bookmaking. A raid on his son’s home led to the discovery of approximately $473,134 in a suitcase. This created great animosity between the Buffalo family members and the Magaddinos, and led to a breakdown of their cooperation concerning criminal activities. The Buffalo family split into dissident factions; the leaders met in Rochester at the end of 1968, and by early 1969 ousted Magaddino as boss, leaving him to lead a faction made up of his once powerful in-laws and older crime family members, from 1969 until he died several years later. Stefano Magaddino died of a heart attack on July 19, 1974 at age 82. Given a funeral at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic church, he was buried in St. Joseph cemetery on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls.
