Betty MacDonald and a great singer

Betty MacDonald in the living room at Vashon on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post.

Betty MacDonald fan club fans,

Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter March is available today.

It's a very interesting one because of so many Betty MacDonald fan club events in March.

Betty MacDonald fan club meeting in Seattle was great.

There will be a Betty MacDonald fan club event DVD available very soon.

Anita, Eartha Kitt II and Betty MacDonald fan club research team are working on a new Betty MacDonald exhibit.

If you are interested in joining this Betty MacDonald fan club project you are welcome.

Several Betty MacDonald fan club fans shared very interesting details and info regarding Betty MacDonald's fascinating experiences in Hollywood.

Thanks a million!

We are going to publish some new Betty MacDonald fan club interviews by Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel who is working on an updated Betty MacDonald biography.

Good luck dear Wolfgang Hampel!

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli is a great guy even if he is a bit strange.

My British friends would say he's a bit eccentric but that's like Onions in the Stew, don't you think.

Do I agree with Betty MacDonald's description of women and men? Oh yes I do!

Betty MacDonald was such a very intelligent lady and she knew very well what she was writing about.

If we believe that Mr. Tigerli acts a bit strange what can we say of the behaviour of some men?

Betty MacDonald knew very well what she wrote about.

Enjoy a new breakfast with Brad and Nick at the bookstore, please.

We are so sad because Roger Cicero was one of our favourite singers.

Yours,

Astrid and Inga

Don't miss this very special book, please.

In memoriam: Eurovision 2007 singer Roger Cicero dead at 45

by Kristin Kristjans • Eurovision News, Germany • Tags: Eurovision 2007, Frauern regier´n die Welt, Roger Cicero

Roger Cicero, who represented Germany at Eurovision 2007 with the jazzy “Frauern regier’n die Welt” has passed away at the age of 45. As Spiegel Online reports, he died of a stroke last Thursday.

“We are stunned and incredibly sad,” his management wrote in a statement. “Our thoughts are with his family.”
His death follows a long battle with acute fatigue syndrome and suspected myocarditis, a troublesome heart condition, which led the singer to cancel a series of concerts last November. He had planned to resume the sold-out tour in April.
The son of Romanian pianist Eugen Cicero, he made his first public appearance as a singer at the tender age of 11. He soon became a household name in the German jazz world, performing alongside legends such as the Horst Jankowski trio as well as his father’s band, the Eugen Cicero trio. Roger quickly developed his own brand of jazz, playing on swinging 40’s and 50’s jazz, but with German lyrics. His first solo album, released in 2006, included his German-language cover of Frank Sinatra’s hit “Fly Me to the Moon”. He recorded 4 more albums and headlined the world-famous “Montreux Jazz Festival” with his Big Band in 2010 and in 2012.
In 2007, Roger and his band went to Eurovision with the song”Frauern regier’n die Welt”, which described how women truly rule the world. Despite his unique and charismatic performance — which included him swinging with his white hat — Europe frowned on Roger, placing him 19th in the finals. But his song has become a cult classic among many Eurovision fans anyway, and remains one of Germany’s most memorable entires of the 00s. Nothing beats heartfelt 50’s jazz!
Eurovision aside, Roger was also a skilled actor, and appeared in the German film “Hilde” which tells the story of the German singer/actress Hildegaard Knef. He also voiced and sang as Prince Naveen in the German dub of Disney’s “Princess and the Frog”.
He is survived by a son Lois. We at wiwibloggs send our deepest condolences to Roger’s family and friends.

A pity ESC 2007 was in the dark times of Eurovision, where ESC was a big mess with circus acts and blockvoting. The only worthy and classy entry along with Serbia that year. In any other year a certain Top 3.

Betty MacDonald and the Kettles

Betty MacDonald fan club fans,

Wolfgang Hampel's Ma and Pa Kettle biography is much funnier than a Ma and Pa Kettle movie.

When Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett talkes about her experiences with the Kettles even my mother-in-law is laughing.

This is very surprising because she laughs very seldom.

We don't have neighbours like the Kettles. Our neighbours are like Mr. and Mrs. Hicks.

They have no children. We have a boy and two girls. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks are cutting down everything in the garden. Ours looks like a paradise or a green hell with many trees and branches. Mr. Hicks always says to us: If you need help I'll cut everything down for you but we refuse so far. We have two dogs. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks don't like dogs or cats because Mrs. Hicks is very allergic. By the way we won't ever have any chickens although is seems that our children bring a new pet home every day. I know what they are talking about when they say: Mother, we have a surprise! You won't believe it! ( I do! )

Mrs. Hicks is cleaning the house night and day and is called ' our newspaper' because she knows everything about the people in our community.
You know I thought it was a very witty idea to lend our Mrs. Hicks Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I which she wasn't aware of. After she read Betty MacDonald's book she said smiling: It was very funny but I dislike this awful Mrs. Hicks. She obviously doesn't understand the meaning of life. I couldn't say anything and looked at her with an open mouth. Mrs. Hicks gave me a strange look and said: Darling, is everything ok with you? You look terrible this morning!

I want to share a very special Betty MacDonald family story. My grandmother wrote letters to Betty MacDonald, Mary and Sydney Bard because she loved Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's books. She was very fond after she got delightful letters written by Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard and even from mother Sydney Bard. I'll write a Betty MacDonald Fan Club Article about it.

My girls and I like like Betty MacDonald's Nancy and Plum, The Egg and I, Anybody can do anything and Onions in the Stew. My hubby as he has the same profession as Mary Bard's husband Dr. Clyde Jensen prefers Betty MacDonald's The Plague and I and Mary Bard's The doctor wears three faces. Our boy likes the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle Stories. He always says: I don't behave like the boys and girls in the books and don't need a Piggle-Wiggle cure. I'm not sure. Not at all!

We can't wait to read Gwen Grant's books. We are very fond of Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter. Monica Sone, who is Kimi in Betty MacDonald's The Plague and I, is our favourite person in Betty MacDonald's books.

We would like to visit the state of Washington, Seattle, Laurelhurst and Vashon Island and attend one of Darsie Beck's workshops.

Congratulations! Betty MacDonald Fan Club has the most interesting and fascinating Betty MacDonald Honour members.

Thank you, guys! I'm one of you!

Reporter's Notebook

Refugees stuck in Idomeni: Questions but no answers

Thousands stuck at a makeshift camp across Greek-Macedonian border are clueless about what is going to happen next.

28 Mar 2016 11:25 GMT | Refugees, Europe, Greece, Macedonia

About the Author

Zeina Khodr

Roving Correspondent

During the past three days at the makeshift camp across Greece's border with Macedonia - all we heard were questions.

Thousands of refugees block Greece-Macedonia border

People don't know who to believe. There are a lot of rumours, a lot of misinformation and - deliberate or not - the thousands of refugees and migrants are being kept in the dark, deceived and misled.
We were aware that a group of refugees were planning to push their way across the border on Sunday morning.
The people behind the plan were those who have been trying to convince people not to move into government-run accommodation centres.
They want people to stay at Idomeni because their presence attracts the world's cameras - and hope it will pressure EU leaders to revise their decisions.

READ MORE: Inside Idomeni refugee camp, nothing left but hope

But information about the planned march was not disseminated on social media. Instead people were told the border was to open.
While we were driving to Idomeni, we saw dozens of migrants and refugees carrying their belongings and walking for kilometres in the cold.
"We are so happy," Mahdi, a Syrian Palestinian told me. "Finally we can cross."
There has been no official announcement that the border is to open, we told him. Mahdi and the others with him refused to believe that. They kept walking, only to find dozens of refugees preparing to break through Greek police lines.
It didn't take long before they changed their minds. They realised that crossing the border by force would not change anything. They have attempted that in the past, only to be arrested by Macedonian authorities and sent back.

IDOMENI: On the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe

And so they announced that they wouldn't be marching. "We are peaceful people," one man said on the loudspeaker. "We won't cross unless the Red Cross is with us and there is a decision by the European Union to let us in."

Refugees in Greece camp seek escape route

Instead they held a peaceful protest and sent a message to the world not to forget them.
It was clear that as days pass, more and more of the 50,000 refugees and migrants who are stuck in Greece are resigned to the fact that Europe's open-door policy has been shut.
They cling on to hope that things will change but deep in their hearts they know they are trapped.
They come to us, journalists seeking answers to questions. Is it true that they are taking people to military camps? Is it true we will be sent back to Turkey? Should we agree to move to government-run centres? Are conditions better there? Is it true we will be given priority if we stay at the border?
There are others who are now talking about going back home. "How can we do that? I heard they are giving free tickets so that we can go back. Where do we go to get those tickets?" - were questions we heard from quite a few people.

READ MORE: A day in Idomeni

The UNHCR and other aid agencies do have offices at the makeshift camp where people have been struggling to survive in the cold and rain for weeks now.
But they don't seem to have all the answers - and they are overwhelmed.
Others are now accepting that they may have to wait months or even years before their asylum requests are processed or they are relocated under an EU plan.
Chaos, uncertainty, suffering, desperation, frustration - that is the atmosphere in Idomeni today.
And it is not only in Idomeni. Just travel a few kilometres along the highway to Thessaloniki, and the mood is similar among refugees and migrants who live in tents near petrol stations.


Refugees shout slogans during a protest demanding the opening of the border between Greece and Macedonia in the northern Greek border station of Idomeni [Darko Vojinovic/AP]

"I only have 40 euros left and I want to save it to pay for the taxi to go to the border. Do you think it will open soon?" Abu Hassan, a refugee from Syria, asked us.
It is hard to tell people that they may be holding on to a dream. "Greek authorities are taking people to centres where they can live while they wait for their papers to be processed," we explained.
He was shocked. "What buses? What accommodation centres? Where can we find these buses? How can we apply?" Abu Hassan asked.
The EU may have decided on how it wants to deal with the migrant crisis but it seems to have failed to give these people the answers they are desperately seeking.

Refugees attempt perilous Greece-Macedonia crossing

In freezing conditions, about 2,000 refugees from Idomeni camp try to cross closed border on journey to Western Europe.

Many fear they will not be able to continue journey as new border controls by Balkan states leave thousands trapped.

IN IDOMENI 12 000 FELLONS "DEMAND" ENTRY TO MACEDONIA

"Forcible entry is defined by Merriam-webster's Dictionary of Law as the unlawful taking of
possession of real property by force or threats of force or unlawful entry into or onto
another's property, especially when accompanied by force."

"The crime of taking possession of a house or other structure, or land by the use of
physical force or serious threats against the occupants. This can include breaking windows,
doors, or using terror to gain entry, as well as FORCING THE OCCUPANTS OUT BY THREAT OR
VIOLENCE AFTER HAVING COME IN PEACEFULLY.

BURGLARY - Legal dictionary dot com

The offense is usually treated as a felony, meaning that convicted individuals face a year
or more in prison.

These people took the decision to try and enter the EU illegaly , and must now accept the consequences , and not just complain . All those healthy young men who have come and demanded rights , yet refused to fight for their country and their rights , should be deported . As the EU admits , over 80% of these illegal migrants are economic migrants and cannot claim asylum , and will have to be deported .
These people seem to think they have a right to enter countries without authorisation , and must be told that they will not be accepted.
Also why does not the press help , and tell and show these migrants about the growing number of migrants who have decided to go back home , as they did not find what they wanted in Europe . Also the journalists should tell these migrants that there are 20+ million unemployed in the EU , and the economies are failing , so there will be few jobs for them .
Also it is stated that these people need help and are destitute , yet they found thousands of dollars for the trip , which is more than many Europeans ever have in their lives , so get the factrs right and tell the truth .

Most og them are refugees, the numbers are close to the opposite of those you 're suggesting. Anyway, if Europe had abandoned austerity policies, it would be no unemployement and millions of people from around the world could have benn accepted - the dire situation of european economy is caused by its own irrational austerity policies.

As for the "why don't they fight for their country?" mantra, I wonder on whose side they should fight? ISIS's, Al;Nusra's or Assad's? They are all the same, in terms of vulgarity, madness and criminality, you know.

Are you actually standing up for them? What, are you crazy or something? Why are you defending them?

Most of them are NOT refugees , having not even claimed asylum yet , and the EU knows that the vast majority are economic migrants and will have to deported and this comes from EU officials and the German government . World economies are in turmoil , and will not improve in the near future .There are already 20+ million unemployed in the EU and even with a growing economies this will take years and years to absorb .
The austerity policies came from Germany not the EU initially , so get the facts right.
Whose side they fight on is their problem , not others , and Syrians themselves started thgeir war on their own .

They are not 'stuck' in Idomeni; they have the right to travel anywhere in Greece or go into Turkey. They should do that instead of acting like a child having a tantrum and sitting there.

It is not that the UN and Greece does no inform them. Even by the writers admission, they give out the information, and that information should spread like wild fire, only they do not want to accept it.

They need to go back to their countries of origin and address the problems there. The only reason the governments in the Middle East treat the people so badly...is because the people are unwilling to take the necessary sacrifices to clean up their own messes. The answer is not to attempt to push your way into a country where you are not wanted....the answer is to hold your own government to account. As for the Europeans...who can blame them? These people come into their countries demand access to limited services, destroy public property, assault citizens....while all the time criticizing the help they have been given and demanding more. Europeans should not permit their civilizations to be destroyed in order to meet these people's demands....push them back by all means necessary.

Shame on you! All these people in Greece behaved very well and caused no problems, despite their desperate situation! European countries should be ashamed of their behaviour - especially the eastern ones! Europe could provide jobs, housing, healthcare, education & social security to ALL its citizens, PLUS millions of refugees, if they didn't follow the destructive path of austerity and free trade capitalism! That's the cause of all problems, not refugees!

In the Kingdom of God all are welcome. But humans are sometimes forced to endure very harsh conditions in the world before they reach out for it. Pray for the Kingdom to Come, and for God's Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Only God can solve the problems faced by the whole world.
