The Beginning:
As
recently as the 1970's, women's history was virtually an
unknown topic in the K-12 curriculum or in general
public consciousness. To address this situation, the
Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California)
Commission on the Status of Women initiated a "Women's
History Week" celebration for 1978. We chose the week of
March 8 to make International Women's Day the focal
point of the observance. The activities that were held
met with enthusiastic response, and within a few years
dozens of schools planned special programs for Women's
History Week, over one-hundred community women
participated in the Community Resource Women Project, an
annual "Real Woman" Essay Contest drew hundreds of
entries, and were staging a marvelous annual parade
and program in downtown Santa Rosa, California.

The Death of News…As We Know It.
And It’s Rebirth
This is a posting to show you what the
news business will look like soon. Newspapers are
folding, broadcast news is cutting back, and cable news
is now the combination of bad local news’ entertainment
bias and talk radio’s right-wing screaming tactics. Let
me show you the future and how you will be a big part of
it. And I’ll give you a glimpse of what I will be doing
soon in this new news landscape........... |

I am amazed
and saddened by the closing of some of Las Vegas’ long-time
quality shows. FOLIES BERGERE, LA CAGE AUX FAUX (closed without
a word of warning to the cast), MENOPAUSE – The Musical, THE
SCINTAS (closing March 14) and I am sure, many more to come........ |

From Parker's Pen
On Writing, Words, and Wonderful Childhood Books
History months, such as March for Women and February for
Black Americans, are times I’m more grateful for written words. Nevada
Reading Week and beyond is a time to help children grow happy with
words, writing and wonderful books… sadly some have none; fill a tragic
gap with loving words, and I’ll help you.......
