When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children? Just imagine what our world would be
like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to
war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1. Ken Norton
is stepping from behind the soundboard to the microphone for this
show. We were going to introduce his segment with Buffy
Sainte-Marie's song God is alive, Magic is afoot, but we
had technical difficulties playing the CDs until our station's
Program Director Edgar provided a magic fix, so Elaine read the
lyrics (see below), with Ken commenting on his
appreciation for Magic humbling the mind's preconceptions and
forebodings. Ken talks
a bit about his entry into Community Radio in 1988 at Radio KKUP
broadcasting out of Cupertino, CA with his show Humdrum, featuring
voice and musical instruments from ages and cultures past and
present. Besides co-producing Women's Spaces with Elaine B. Holtz,
he produces a show for a 5-minute slot called the Scent of Light on
Radio Spotlight Magazine, broadcast over
Radio KOWS 92.5 FM in Santa
Rosa the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, The Scent of Light
episodes are meant to be an oasis for the
listener during a news commentary show as a place in radio time to have to center oneself and
then better discern and understand what is being heard. Ken shares
one of these episodes called Timing that was broadcast over the
Winter Solstice.
About our Guest: Ken Norton
earned his master's degree in Materials Science from Stanford
University as the Vietnam War was ending. During that time Ken
served as the personal assistant to a poet/sociologist Dr. William
Hermanns as he prepared his writings for publication, exposing Ken
to not only the sciences but also the humanities and comparative
religion for making conscious and conscionable choices. Ken is the
co-producer of Women's Spaces and partner of Elaine. Ken is a
regular contributor to Radio Spotlight Magazine with his episodes on
the Scent of Light.
The Lyrics of God is alive,
magic is afoot, based on Leonard Cohen's words, sung by Buffy
Sainte-Marie:
God is alive, magic is afoot
God is alive, magic is afoot
God is afoot, magic is alive
Alive is afoot, magic never died
God never sickened
Many poor men lied, many sick men lied
Magic never weakened, magic never hid
Magic always ruled, God is afoot
God never died
God was ruler
Though his funeral lengthened
Though his mourners thickened
Magic never fled
Though his shrouds were hoisted, the naked God did live
Though his words were twisted, the naked magic thrived
Though his death was published, round and round the world
The heart did not believe
Many hurt men wondered, many struck men bled
Magic never faltered, magic always led
Many stones were rolled, but God would not lie down
Many wild men lied, many fat men listened
Though they offered stones, magic still was fed
Though they locked their coffers, God was always served
Magic is afoot, God rules
Alive is afoot, alive is in command
Many weak men hungered
Many strong men thrived
Though they boasted solitude, God was at their side
Nor the dreamer in his cell
Nor the captain on the hill
Magic is alive
Though his death was pardoned
Round and round the world
The heart would not believe
Though laws were carved in marble
They could not shelter men
Though altars built in parliaments, they could not order men
Police arrested magic, and Magic went with them
For Magic loves the hungry
But Magic would not tarry, it moves from arm to arm
It would not stay with them, magic is afoot
It cannot come to harm, it rests in an empty palm
It spawns in an empty mind, but magic is no instrument
Magic is the end
Many men drove magic, but magic stayed behind
Many strong men lied
They only passed through Magic and out the other side
Many weak men lied, they came to God in secret
And though they left him nourished, they would not tell who healed
Though mountains danced before them, they said that God was dead
Though his shrouds were hoisted, the naked God did live
This I mean to whisper to my mind
This I mean to laugh with in my mind
This I mean my mind to serve till
Service is but magic, moving through the world
And mind itself is magic coursing through the flesh
And flesh itself is magic dancing on a clock
And time itself, the magic length of God
2. Leslie Graves

January 18th in Santa Rosa's Old Courthouse Square and the booths to
expect. Leslie has coordinated the event since 2017 and
expects a large turnout of women with their men supporters in their
parade fashions with colorful signs. Leslie also talks about
