One of Santa Ana’s most famous residents celebrated in Song
The “Flying Irish Man”
Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan celebrated in Song-for Irish American Heritage Month
Corrigan Brothers, the Irish Band whose international hit “There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama” has reached ten million you tube hits and charted all over the world have written a song to celebrate Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan. Lead singer Ger Corrigan explained the inspiration for the song “ every Corrigan gets called “wrong way” at some stage in their life and we suspect that Douglas Corrigan always intended to fly to Ireland and his story was a ruse to avoid the strict regulations of the time, he perhaps should be renamed “Right Way” Corrigan. We are currently researching our family tree and are confident of finding a link to Douglas. Corrigan Brothers are currently recording their second album “Our Favourite Irish Songs” and will begin a world tour in October 2013.

When it took the same time
To Fly across to Ireland
And see the Emerald Isle

Heard some reliable info about why the red light camera program was truly terminated…..A little birdie said that a couple of SA city council members got caught running red lights….When they called the SAPD to see how to “take care” of the tickets (and you know what I mean), they were told to show up to court on the date given as everyone else does…Apparently, they didn’t like the SAPD response and worked towards terminating the program……I am pretty sure that the traffic division can confirm that info…..
Not surprising but I’m glad that they got rid of the cameras.

TEACHERS DESERVE THANKS, NOT BLAME
by Dr. Tom Staszewski tomstasz@neo.rr.com
As our public schools begin another school year, it’s time to stop blaming and
criticizing teachers and start thanking and acknowledging them.
Our schools reflect society, and society has undergone a dramatic shift from
previous generations. A typical classroom today consists of many students with
severe behavioral problems, limited knowledge of English usage, emotional and
psychological difficulties, learning disabilities and attention-deficit
disorders. And many suffer from abuse and other adverse home and socioeconomic
conditions.
Unlike previous generations, many parents today send their kids to school unfed,
unprepared and with little or no basic skills nor social skills. In many
neighborhoods, it’s the school building, not the child’s home, that provides a
safe, secure and predictable haven. Despite these societal problems, we need to
focus on the success stories of what’s right with our schools rather than what’s
wrong with our schools.
In my previous work as a motivational speaker and professional development
trainer, I have personally worked with thousands of teachers nationwide. I have
found them to be caring, hardworking, dedicated, industrious and sincerely
committed to the success of their students.
Teachers’ duties have now grown to the added dimensions of counselor, mentor,
coach, resource person, mediator, motivator, enforcer and adviser.
Instead of acknowledging that teaching is a demanding profession, critics will
often focus on the supposedly shortened workday of teachers. Still others claim,
“Yes, teachers are busy, but at least they get a planning period each day to
help get things done.” In reality, the so-called planning period is really a
misnomer. A typical teacher is so involved with the day’s activities that
usually there is no time to stop and plan. Those minutes that are supposed to be
devoted to planning are often filled with endless amounts of paperwork,
meetings, interruptions, schedule changes, extra assigned duties, phone calls,
conferences, gathering missed work for absent students, completing forms,
submitting required data and on and on. Maybe they call it a planning period,
because there’s NO time left for planning…period!
Most teachers leave the building long after the students’ dismissal time and
usually with plenty of paperwork and tests to correct. Evenings are spent
reviewing homework assignments and planning for the next day of teaching.
In addition to earning a bachelor’s degree and teaching certificate/license,
once teachers begin to work in the classroom, they need to immediately continue
their own education. During summertime, they are constantly updating their
education, earning a graduate degree or two and making sure their teaching
certificates are active and valid.
Too many people have the mistaken notion that anyone can teach. They think that
they could teach because they have seen other people teach. Yet, when looking at
other professions and occupations, these same people understand that they can’t
perform those jobs. They may have briefly seen the
cockpit of an airplane, but they don’t assume they can fly it. They may have
spent an hour in a courtroom but don’t believe that they can practice law. They
certainly don’t think they are able to perform surgery.
Every day, teachers are making a significant difference. At any given moment,
teachers are influencing children in positive and meaningful ways. Many societal
problems exist, such as violence, drugs, broken homes, poverty, economic crises
and a variety of other woes. Teachers struggle with the turmoil of society while
trying to offset the negative influences outside of school. As they roll up
their sleeves and take strides to improve the lives of their students, teachers
are the real heroes.
Today’s teacher is more than a transmitter of knowledge; the demands of the
profession are ever-increasing. Many parents and taxpayers have an expectation
that a school system should be the do all and be all in their children’s lives.
Some parents have a notion that they can drop off their child at the schoolhouse
door, and behold, 12 years later, they will be able to pick up a perfect
specimen of a human being — well-rounded, academically proficient, emotionally
sound, physically fit and ready to meet the next phase of life.
But we know that teachers cannot do it alone. A sound, safe and secure home life
is essential. An effort on the parent’s part to prepare the child for school is
vital. And parental involvement that results in a partnership in the child’s
development is necessary. When that doesn’t occur, then it’s easy to scapegoat
the classroom teacher.
As the school year begins, our public schools welcome everyone. The
individual classroom teacher is faced with dozens and dozens of human beings
who come to school in varying degrees of ability, potential, maturity,
motivation levels, and readiness to learn. Students arrive with a tremendous
amount of baggage, with various health and nutrition factors, family
issues, neighborhood influences and differing socioeconomic levels.
In today’s climate of high stakes testing, business leaders and
politicians continue to demand better results with data driven assessments
and test scores. It is important to realize that the classroom is not a
factory floor where uniformity and precise precision can be molded into just
one final finished product. Unlike the manufacturing arena, teachers don’t
select the raw materials (students). All are welcome as teachers strive to
meet and serve all levels and all kinds of students. Test results will always
vary from low to high ranges because schools are dealing with human beings with
varying degrees of potential. The school is not an assembly line that can
mass-produce exact templates of finished products meeting the same exact
predetermined standard.
Instead of bashing our teachers, we should be conveying recognition, accolades,
tributes and positive acknowledgments. Teachers deserve a sincere thank-you for
the tremendous benefits they provide society. And that’s why my all-time
favorite bumper sticker offers a profound and important declaration: “If you can
read this … thank a teacher!”
In our schools today, there are thousands of success stories waiting to be told
and there’s a need to proclaim those successes proudly and boldly. Teachers
should stand tall and be proud of their chosen profession. Critics should not
judge them unfairly. Together, let’s become teacher advocates and show
admiration for the inspiring and important life-changing work they do.

Hello,
Have you heard the news about how SAUSD has just gave back half the jobs you reported were gonna get cut?
I will assume you haven’t, since there is no story about it. I would hate to think you knew about it and did not report for other reasons.

Yes the union killed a lot of jobs but it could have been worse.
Hi Art….I have been hearing from people in town that the city has been failing to pay vendors for their services in excess of 90 days. Allegedly, there are only a couple of employees working the bills with and out-of-date computer program. I heard that police wasn’t able to the gas at places where the have agreements with the city, because lack of payment over several months. Have you heard anything? Thanks.
That would not surprise me one bit…

You ran an article about how people should purchase life insurance instead of depending on GoFundMe to pay for funeral and personal expenses. Sometimes families don’t get what they ask for in donations and that is why it is important for people to purchase life insurance. Funeral expenses have doubled since the pandemic and there are two different expenses, one the funeral home and the second cemetery expense.
I was wondering if you had a media kit that includes the number of people you reach?
We average over 100K views a month and our Facebook page has about 40K followers. Pretty amazing! 🙂
Thanks for helping to keep Californian voters informed!
