Cape Gazette VIEWPOINTS TUESDAY, JUNE 9- THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2015 7 Letters )) Continued from page 6 WMDs. But there were other rea- sons for going to war with Iraq; we were enforcing no-fly zones from the Gulf war, and Saddam was in violation and sometimes shooting back; and in 1998 UN inspections teams responsible for disarming Iraq were stymied by uncooperative Iraqi forces. Bring- ing the fight to the Middle East was a difficult decision, especial- ly since Afghanistan was already in the stone-age. In some sense, Iraq won the coin-toss. Mr. Flood finally asserts that the Republican presidential candidates are the ones more likely to lead us into another war. And he is probably right! Should a Republican win, he/she will have an unbelievable democratic foreign-policy mess to clean up. There do seem to be at least two glaring lessons of war - some wars are peren- nial, and appeasement never works. There seems never to be a shortage of people who think they should rule the world. Every few decades one of them forces his way into a position of power where he can start to threaten other nations; these maniacs are not easily deterred. Appeasement can only embolden the enemy and allow them to grow stronger. Cases in point: Iran's Khomeini, Russia's Putin, and ISIS leader, al- Baghdadi. Peace through strength and constant readiness are the only logical conclusions, and conservative Republicans heed those lessons. Armand Careau Bridgeville Flood column ignores Democrats' roles In reading Don Flood's June 2 column, ("We need to heed the lessons of past wars"), I think it was inappropriate that he parlayed a heartbreaking Memo- rial Day letter about Michael lay Massey's death in Vietnam into a political diatribe about Bush's Iraq policy and some Republican presidential candidates' views. I hold no brief for George Bush and his/our feckless for- eign policy or those of neo-con presidential candidates, but Mr. Flood conveniently leaves out for criticism, Lyndon Johnson's ramp up in Vietnam after the phony Tonkin Gulf crisis in 1964 that ultimately led to Michael's death among the 58,000 others killed. Moreover, he excludes the fact that every major slaughterhouse war in the 20th century was led and championed by a Democratic president - Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy as well as Johnson. Total American dead in these bloodbaths totaled more 600,000. Add to that, the hidden civilian killings of our latest terrorist recruiting tool in the 21st century - the drone. Judge Andrew Napolitano recently wrote, "Last month [April], the White House revealed that in January, the government launched its [consti- tutionaliy impermissible] 446th drone into a foreign land, and this one killed three Americans and an Italian, none of whom had been targeted or posed a threat to national security at the time of his murder...Obama's drones have killed more non-targeted innocents in foreign lands than were targeted and killed in the U.S. on 9/1L" Mr. Flood needs to criticise with a broader brush about wars � "we had no business fighting."

There's a wonderful sense of brotherhood and style among the players. This photo was made in the 1940s. Information included with the photograph explains: "Because local children, both black and white, loved to play baseball together, the sport helped to break down segregation imposed by others." Vietnam vet praises Flood column " Kudos to Don Flood for his June 2column about our lead- ers' recent ill-advised wars and the deceitful spin now being given to history by presidential candidates. Despite the willful delusions of many misguided "patriots," there is no evidence at all that Iraq had any involvement in the 9/11 attacks. There was no "intelligence failure." Both the re- cent Iraq fiasco and the Vietnam adventure of a half-century ago were based on lies, and neither one had anything whatsoever to do with "our freedom." The brave men and women who served in those actions may have ioined out of a noble sense of patriotism, but it turns out that they were deceived. The resuk- ing deaths, injuries and wasted lives were all for nothing. Even worse than that - the Iraq war has made the world a more danger- ous place, and has turned the Middle East into an amusement park for terrorists. The government's past and current treatment of our veter- ans and their families has been negligent and deplorable. But instead of talkingabout that and looking for solutions, our would- be leaders are repeating old and discredited lies about history, and preaching about more "boots on Continued on page 8 t was a week like no other for Delaware. I cannot recall a single instance where Delaware claimed so much of the nation's atten- tion. Such was the outpouring of affection and sorrow at the death of Beau Biden, former attorney general of Delaware, and, of course, son of Vice President Joe Biden. Not only did President Obama attend, but also the Clintons, Senate Maiority Leader Mitch McConnell, Sen- ate Minority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, most of the cabinet members and Caroline Ken- nedy. It usually takes a State of the Union address to get this many of our leaders together. (What a day it must have been for Kennedy, a member of perhaps the only political fam- ily more star-crossed than the Bidens. If anyone could under- stand the depth of Joe Biden's grief it was she.) And it was, sadly, another case of Delaware gaining at- tention through an association with death. For 30 years I lived in Dover, and it seemed whenever the city made the national news it was because of bodies being brought to the mortuary at Dover AFB. The tragedies included everything from the ]onestown massacre in '78, the plane crash that killed Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and 34 others in '96, and the many, many flag-draped coffins of American soldiers killed overseas over the years. One of my grimmer memo- ries is of the constant shuttling of helicopters back and forth from Washington, D.C., follow- ing 9/11. But none of those events drew as much attention to Dela- ware as the funeral services for Beau Biden. ! never met Beau Biden, and so I have no personal reminis- cences to add, but the many warm recollections of family and friends speak for them- selves. The family has launched the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children, which has already raised $125,000 to help protect kids from sexual predators. Listening to a TED talk on NPR suggested another way to honor Beau Biden's memory. In a stunning case of un- wanted attention, Newsweek in December ran a story titled "Murder Town USA (aka Wilmington, Delaware)." Harsh but not unwarranted. According to the article, Wilm- ington had a violent crime rate of 1,625 per 100,000 people. The national average is 325. Wilmington's crime problems may seem far removed from ours in the Cape Region, but, unfortunately, they're not. Economically, we're all in this together and Wilmington's reputation as one of the most dangerous small cities in the country makes it harder to at- tract businesses anywhere in our tiny state. Ominously, there has even been an uptick of shootings in Dover. Delaware is already limited, compared to our much larger sister states, in what it can do to entice companies to move here. A reputation for violence will make the task that much more difficult. We have to act. The News- week article did mention that Beau Biden had created a Crime Strategies Unit. It was designed to shut down drug dens, clean up graffiti and bring houses up to code. All good ideas, but the Rev. Jeffrey Brown, inhis TED talk, discussed another, even more basic, path to reducing violence. Brown was part of what is sometimes called the "Boston Miracle" of the 1990s. He and other faith and community leaders helped cut violent crime in their city by nearly 80 per- cent. The first step, according to Brown, wasn't hiring more police officers or cracking 'S down on gang members or even preaching to them. The first step, he said, was to listen, to reach out to gang members and learn from them about the problems in their community. He and others learned from the gang mem- bers themselves what help they needed. It worked. The number of homicides dropped from 152 in 1990 to 31 in 1999. Now, in truth, it was no "miracle" and it wasn't easy. It took a lot of people and organi- zations working together. And if the effort isn't sus- tained the crime rate can rise again, as it did in Boston, though not to the levels of the early '90s. But the approach has enjoyed some success in other cities, and launching similar efforts in Wilmington and Dover would be a fitting tribute to the memory of our late attomey general. It's worth a try. If suc- cessful, Delaware would have a more uplifting reason to be in the national news. Don Flood is a former newspaper editor living near Lewes.

Marysville dog park to cost more than expected
City officials OK'd the lower of two construction bids, which was 47 percent higher than the original $45,000 budget.
Marysville dog park to cost more than expected City officials OK'd the lower of two construction bids, which was 47 percent higher than the original $45,000 budget. Check out this story on thetimesherald.com: https://www.thetimesherald.com/story/news/2019/10/17/marysville-dog-park-cost-more-than-expected/3984752002/

The dog park slated for Marysville's Morton Park is going to cost a little more than officials planned.
City Council members approved a $45,000 budget for the idea in August, but two much-higher bids for the project — at $66,300 and $88,349 — came back earlier this month. On Monday, officials approved the lower of the two, which was 47 percent higher than the original allocation.
The original proposal would put a dog park in place of one of Morton's baseball fields, including separate, fenced-in areas for small and big dogs, as well as other amenities like dog waste and watering stations and benches.
City Manager Randy Fernandez said that they still had enough city funds to make up the near-$20,000 difference, shifting funds originally allotted for Marysville's centennial and this winter's holiday festivities in Marysville City Park.
"I'm not going to say it's only (so much in funding) because we take the taxpayers' money very seriously," he said. "We had allocated $10,000 for what we were led to believe was our hundredth anniversary next year. We do not turn a hundred until 2024. I have researched that extensively, also, through the state of Michigan historical society. We have spent about a thousand dollars of that 10, so there's about 9,000.
"… We have also set aside $10,000 for Christmas in the Park. I don't see Christmas in the Park coming anywhere near that $10,000, so I would say there'd maybe be half of that, or 40 to 50 percent of that also available. I'm fairly confident I'll also be bringing to you at our next meeting, we will increase our revenue by $450,000 that was not budgeted or put in as a revenue generator."

On Tuesday, Fernandez said he couldn't yet share the source of the potential $450,000 but that he hoped to present something related to it to City Council at their next meeting Oct. 28.
Phil Porte, of BMJ Engineers, said there were potential cuts to the project to keep to the city's original budget, such as reduction of components related to water and sanitary services, a drinking foundation and new trees.
"That total was about a deduction of 20,500, roughly. That would've gotten us close," he said. "… But then, again, that's kind of compromising the overall attempt of the park and what we brought to council originally."

Marysville Mayor Dan Damman did ask about completing the project "without compromising anything else from budgetary standard." But he also said, "When my city manager says the money is there, I believe him."
"When we do a project, we do a project correctly the first time," Damman said. "I remember discussions similar to this when we were renovating the waste water treatment plant parking lot with grant funds based on clean water and things of that nature, and we ran into the question of what should we do with the boat ramp. … I see this as absolutely no different than that."
The biggest piece of the $66,300 bid, which was from Raymond Excavating, is for fencing with gates at more than $16,500. The next biggest expenses are for concrete, the drinking fountain, water service and signage — each in the thousands of dollars. Just trees and other restoration will cost $6,000.
Officials have previously discussed how residents with dogs would access the park, such as with a fob or card swipe, but no decisions were previously reached. Council members didn't discuss that piece this week.

If you pick up a freelance writing job as a ghostwriter, consider yourself lucky. Ghostwriting is a great way to earn money, while expanding your knowledge and expertise.
But, this type of work is not without its pitfalls. If someone contacts you about a ghostwriting project, be upfront about your ghostwriting rates. Make sure you do this before anything else. Grab a calculator, draft a proposal, and send it to them. In doing so, you will save yourself the time and aggravation of a client-turned-Casper.
I've dealt with a few in my time: prospective clients who vanish once the subject of price arises, usually (and to my chagrin) weeks after I've been charmed with their idea. Business execs have approached me about writing their 200- to 300-page business memoir, which they intend to self-publish. Most of them have no connection to writing or publishing and think writing is cheap. What starts out as a lively encounter becomes strained as they attempt to hire for cheap.
As you can see, the pay can be quite lucrative, but how to charge is up to you. A few writers charge upwards of $50-$100/hour for ghostwriting projects. It all depends on the size of the client and whether or not they feel comfortable doing an hourly rate or a flat fee. Remember to be true to whatever rate you set. The client will respect you for it.
In sum, ghostwriting is no work-at-home, get-rich-quick business. It takes years to develop a positive track record of success in dealing with clients who are organized, insightful, team-players, and who value you enough to pay you what you're worth.

Any updates on Nordstjernen's return to Norwegian waters?
Before the Nordsteam she will visit the "Dampf rundum" in Flensburg/Germany.
I will certainly go to Flensburg to see the lovely lady. Does her rpesent Owner maintain a Website? perhaps it will be possible to book passage on her to/from Flensburg?
Last days I tried to find out some more information. They plan some short cruises to Hamburg, through the Kiel Canal and a cruise from Flensburg to Bergen, but at the moment nobody knows details.
It is possible to book an overnight stay in Flensburg, everything else is not sure.
Thank you very much for sharing that PDF!
This is the first cruise for Nordstjernen after the shipyard. On Friday is open ship.
The Flensburger newspaper wrote the new owner is still searching for a crew who can steer Nordstjernen in the narrow Flensburger harbour without bow thruster. In the shipyard the cabins should be enlarged.
I don't think this is a good idea. I like the old cabins and bigger cabins means higher prices, too. Maybe Nordstjernen will become another ship for a few people with a lot of money. Most important is to install an working air condition. The hot air in the cabin wasn't acceptable. But my last cruise was many years ago possibly it is better now.
By the way ... I bought a ticket for the roundtrip on Saturday.
Today I got a mail from the person who is still working organizing the further cruises.
I have to correct my earlier post. They will not enlarge the cabins. Because of Riksantikvaren it is not allowed. I translated the Flensburger Newspaper and I don't know why someone wrote this.
Saw a photo recently----- she's got her BDS livery back on the funnel, and it gave me goosebumps... (of the good kind naturally).
Seems like Nordstjernen cancelled Flensburg - the shipyard needs more time.

Standing Room Only thrills Yelm with Young Frankenstein the musical
Posted on November 4, 2017 by belltowersmu	Leave a comment
Jessica Varvil, Staff Writer
Standing Room Only (SRO), a community theater group based in Yelm, Wash. has produced a delightful musical rendition of "Young Frankenstein" that runs through Nov. 12 at the Triad Theater.
The cozy Triad Theater features an amalgamation of seating; couches and chairs mingle together, rarely matching. The audience sits close to the stage, feeling a kinship with the actors who dance and sing down the aisles and on the stage.
Mel Brook's iconic movie "Young Frankenstein" was released in 1974 and became a cult classic with a 93 percent from popular review site Rotten Tomatoes. The musical version amplifies the goofy parody of the original movie with expansive musical numbers.
The cast displayed extraordinary talent in their comedic timing, vocal performance, and physical acting. Ian Montgomery, who also performs with the Olympia Choral Society, forged his own take on the iconic Frederick Frankenstein that was distinctly different from Gene Wilder's classic portrayal.
Hannah Longshore and Dahlia Young, playing Elizabeth Benning and Inga, respectively, kept the audience in stitches with their over-the-top romantic antics. Longshore illustrates the accessibility of community theater as an actor who also works as an office manager and licensed insurance agent in Puyallup. Both Longshore and Young have been performing on the stage since their toddler years.
Jesse Geray created a lovable Igor that stole the show on many occasions with his endearing hijinks. Geray credits his mother and "frequent, sugar-induced deliriums" for inspiring his sixth role with Standing Room Only. Kurt Loertscher's monster was so perfectly uncommunicative that his newfound ability for speech at the end of the play was delightfully disconcerting.
Nancy Tribush Hillman's rendition of "My Boyfriend" perfectly captured the tone of the iconic quote, and Kevin McManus's physical acting was spot on for the role of Inspector Kemp. According to the playbill, Hillman "is the founder of the Drew Harvey Theater and StageStruck Productions — the progenitors of SRO." Her energy and passion on stage illustrated her immense value to the company.
As a diverse group of actors, featuring thespians as young as 13, the entire cast and ensemble pulled together to provide a thoroughly enjoyable theater experience. The raucous and lovable performance is well worth the student ticket price of 20 dollars, and is only a 20-minute drive from Saint Martin University.
Standing Room Only will be holding auditions for their next play in November and offering Shakespeare classes over the winter. Next summer, the company will perform Shakespeare in the park, though the exact play choice is yet to be determined.
Each month, Standing Room Only produces radio shows at the Triad Theater that bring back the nostalgia of classic voice acting in an intimate stage setting. In honor of Halloween, the October show was "Tales of Terror."
The Triad Theater aims to promote the arts in the Yelm area by providing a platform for artists and hosting workshops for those who would like to learn. On the second Thursday of every month, the theater hosts an open mic night for poets and songwriters with a 5 dollar cover fee.

Encarta Africana
edited by Henry Louis Gates and Kwame Anthony Appiah
Microsoft, CD-ROM, $69.95
Multiculturalism has gone multimedia. Encarta Africana, an interactive CD-ROM encyclopedia recently released by Microsoft, documents much of the African diaspora, both past and present.
With eye-catching graphics and more than 5,500 articles, photos, videos, audio clips and maps, it offers more than a travelogue or checklist of natural wonders and humanity's accomplishment. In addition, it has interactive maps and links — users can take virtual tours to exotic locations such as Havana, the ruins at Medinet Habu in Egypt, and Paris, France, where great jazz artists and writer James Baldwin took refuge from American racism prevalent in the 1960s.
It's a comprehensive compilation, and yet, in the midst of its initial brisk sales, controversy looms over Microsoft's first multicultural CD-ROM.
Developed by Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates and his academic associate, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Encarta Africana has come under fire from critics who feel the two-disc set excludes vital information about the very audience it strives to reach: mainstream contemporary African-Americans.
Some critics suggest Encarta Africana pays too little attention to prominent blacks from countries outside the United States, and only skims the surface concerning the impact of blacks on mainstream popular culture. Who, they ask, would have known about Elvis had he not picked up the musical styles of black church and blues musicians? And where would the Rolling Stones have been without the influence of great musicians such as Slim Harpo?
Black academic reviewer William Kyle is the producer and host of "Urban Express," a New York-based radio program-in-development which is dedicated to highlighting multicultural literary issues. No matter how aesthetically pleasing or educationally enticing the interactive encyclopedia is, he takes Africana's development to task on philosophical and cultural grounds.
"There is a certain phoniness in the compilation concept," says Kyle. "It's pretending to be everything about black culture, but of course it's not.
"Additionally, Gates has now placed himself in the ironic position of re-enacting what he has criticized — the hypercanonization of works when you cannot include everything," says Kyle.
In the past, Gates has voiced his opposition to an academic canon in which some works and individuals are given more importance than others.
On one hand, Gates and Appiah were clearly trying to be as inclusive as possible with this project. For them, it was more than a creative outlet or a natural extension of their already impressive careers. Rather, it was a mission of historical documentation and a passion to fulfill the legacy of their predecessors.
In 1909, W.E.B. DuBois, a pre-eminent scholar and the first black person to earn a Ph.D. at Harvard, had the idea of an encyclopedia Africana. It would be a complete compilation of information about Africa, its people and history, from the earliest records of civilization to contemporary society.
DuBois died in 1963, and since then, researchers have been working to fulfill his dream.
One team of scholars, which takes a more Afrocentric view than Gates does, has been working in Ghana for several decades, and that's where the other hand comes in: They claim that Gates was reluctant to include strongly Afrocentric points of view in the encyclopedia. Molefi Kete Asante, who is a leading supporter of Afrocentricity, told the New York Times that Encarta Africana was geared too much for a white audience.
Not surprisingly, Microsoft spokeswoman Beth Jordan says the company is defending the product as a solid learning tool that can be experienced by audiences of all ages and races.
"This is not a product that a big corporation produced and then went out searching for an endorsement," says Jordan. "Mr. Gates and Mr. Appiah approached Microsoft with the concept after watching our technology over the years … Microsoft was proud to step up to the plate and include Encarta Africana in its repertoire."
Deborah Smith Pollard, professor of black literature at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, is aware of the Africana controversy among black academics, but after a brief review, she is impressed and plans to use it professionally and personally.
"The CD-ROM has an appealing look while supplying enough interesting information for initial research on subjects," observes Pollard. "Of course it is not as comprehensive as a book on a particular topic, but it offers a solid starting point for research at almost any grade level, especially for those students preparing to take a black literature or history class who have had no exposure to those materials."
Pollard's colleague U-M Dearborn librarian Carla Brooks agrees. "The information provided makes for a solid learning tool and the interactive aspect and (Web) links to other sites really set it apart."
And that's the key to the CD-ROM's value as a learning tool.
As Gates states, "We finally have a technology that can explore and explain the expressive features — music and dance, art and cinema, literature and storytelling, that are at the heart of the cultural achievement of people of African descent."
The Encarta Africana is an important compilation. As Appiah notes, "All of the information gathered about the people of African descent and their influences is placed and assembled in perspective until we were able to say here is an encyclopedia that does for African and African-American cultures what the first encyclopedia did for Europeans two centuries ago."
In light of the current criticism with regards to Africana's content, its creators and Microsoft may want to consider expanding its development, making the current edition the first in a series.
