WPCNR HONOR ON PARADE. By John F. Bailey. May 28, 2024:
White Plains Memorial Day Parade began the city traditional Memorial Day recognition of American men and women who have given their lives in the nation’s wars with a march past city hall on Main Street turning up North Broadway lined with residents clapping and saluting the marchers proceeding to the White Plains Rural Cemetary on the grounds of graves of Civil War residents of White Plains who died in that conflict.
WHITE PLAINS HIGH SCHOOL BAND OPENED THE CEREMONY WITH THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Mayor Thomas Roach began the ceremony remembering the orgins of Memorial Day and announcing that Harry O. Bright a U.S. Army veteran, teacher, and the first African American to be elected to the White Plains Common Council, serving from 1975-1979. Mr. Bright served as the Director of the White Plains Human Rights Commission
Jonathon Manzueta, a lifelong resident of White Plains, Grand Marshall of the Parade was honored for his service in the Navy on three tours in the Persian Gulf. His ship patrolled and defended ports and maritime ships against Somali pirates with his group capturing 12 during a search and rescue operation.
Upon completion of his tour of service, he enrolled in Westchester Community College to work towards his Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. Later in his career he joined the NYPD for 4-1/2 years and then transferred to the White Plains Police Department.
The Invocation and Benediction prayers presented by Debra Palazzo of Daughters of Liberty’s Legacy and Diane Travers, Women’s Auxiliary, Jewish War Veterans Post #191 reinforced the message that by honoring the men and women who gave their lives for the freedom we have today should inspire we who remember them or lost a loved one fighting robustly for our country to dedicate our lives to service, achievement and issues that are important.
Observing this ceremony every year drives home to me the enormous debt we owe our war dead and their families and how their lives cut short by fate, but that live on as inspirations for truth, freedom and the American Way whose ultimate sacrifice made possible our nation to become the strongest and most influential society in the world by government by the people, for the people and lead by people of character who believed in that.
The commitment to that should never be lost no matter how appealing simple solutions to problems seem to be the best, how using prejudice and blaming people within the nation for problems, does not solve those problems. (It’s not shooting strikers as President Grover Cleveland did to Pullman workers.) (It’s not lynching slaves in the awful Andrew Johnson Presidency that allowed the Klu Klux Klan violence against It takes brains, working together, not mass rallies, not ignoring evil, not inciting violence, not jailing your adversaries, (that’s what Hitler, Stalin, Putin, did and killed thousands too).
The leaders of America never lose awareness of what is right. They take responsibility. They really get things done. They want to make things better for all. They do hard unpopular things that anger the comfortable and the powerful because it is right. They have to be strong, and have integrity.
Let’s have some more leaders like we used to have: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR who defeated the Nazi Horror with American arms, and banding against the Nazi war machine.
And it is sobering to note that many people in America, especially the press were against America getting into the war against Germany and Japan because they thought authoritarianism was a good thing. They admired Nazi “order” and “growth” in the 1930s. The thinking of that time in America were isolationists whom of course the Nazis would have killed if they had defeated us in World War II. The journalists would be the first the SS would trot before firing squads. Walter Winchell was the only journalist warning of what the Nazis were doing and what they planned. Winchell was a p.r. writer who recognized evil when he saw it. He had a great influence on FDR.
Authoritarianism is not democracy at all. It gains power by claiming to be on the people’s side. This is a big lie. Once they get in power, if you oppose, you goes. If you are reporter who exposes the truth, you go.
One thing you have to realize an authoritarian in authority tells you what to do or else. They hate freedom. They hate courts. They control them so you have no power. They care for nobody. They have no admirable qualities and no sense of humor.
Incompetent judges who toe the line is what you want when you are an authoritarian and make decisions in agreement with the policy you want enforced. That is the first thing you do is stack the courts. Hitler did it.
A good example of that is the United States Supreme Court of today where sophistry (arguments not supported by fact) and personal beliefs, irrational rulings (“corporations are people,” comes to mind) supported by naivete and prejudices of their own.They never read Plato’s Republic.
That court was stacked by the previous President with the cooperation of a naïve, good old boy Senate. They were not paying attention. Now we have six judges just knocking down the constitution amendment by amendment. That’s what a stacked court does.
As Abraham Lincoln said The Gettysburg Address over the fields of slaughter: Little Round Top, Pickett’s Charge and carnage of Americans fighting Americans:
Delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863.
After the Battle of Ypres in the first World War, a man named Alexis Helmer left a trench to check on an artillery position. On leaving the trench a shell landed next to him and he was killed instantly. At his funeral Dr. John Mccrae his friend was moved to write this poem.
Cynthia Kauffman, President of Daughters of Liberty’s Legacy after placement of poppies on the wreaths read In Flanders Fields that has endured as a call to remember the debt we owe the dead to carry their task forward to preserve who and what they were fighting for.
President Lincoln’s words still challenge us this year, perhaps more than ever:
this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that governmentof the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
To take up our quarrel with the foe, you do not have to take up a gun.

WPCNR SOUTHEND LIFE. By The American Grillman. Reprinted from The CitizeNetReporter Archives. July 5, 2008:
It’s the come home day of another Memorial Day Weekend in White Plains, coming home for that Memorial Day picnic. After Monday’s Memorial Day Parade starting at 10 AM in downtown White Plains tomorrow, it is time to usher in summer officially.
Thanks to the chimney charcoal starter and its glowing orange coals, the backyard American barbecue DNA macho in the amateur chef is once again the equal of the overpriced steak cooked indoors at any restaurant.
Steak was raised outside, it was born to be cooked outside, and the sizzlin’ inch and a half thick rib eye steak on orange charcoal’s glow puts the Cartier- priced steakhouse in its place!
In this griller’s opinion, ourdoor grilling proves once again to be the equal and superior to the overpriced artificial-tasting steak that sleek decor and atmosphere cannot duplicate backyard origins.
The economy may be a press secretary’s fantasy, your home price declining, your taxes going up, but remember, even the hobo can grill!
To do real steak right , you have to do it outside on charcoal on what is promised to be the best Memorial Day Weekend weather in years.
The instinct of generations of the American backyard barbecue tradition passed up from the cave, enjoyed at Valley Forge, bit into by cowboys around chuck wagons on the prairie and up from the Southland barbecue inbred and passed on from American father to American son and daughter – cutting across nationality and station – gives you real steak – not $100 technology enhanced cuts.
Flaming charcoal makes steak a living thing in your mouth!
I think America can pull itself out of this temporary hiccup in the American economy and “anything-but-the-issues-politics” as long as the American grilling tradition is handed down, the pioneer “can-do” spirit lives!
Why pay $100 for a steak dinner unless your company or your political contributor is paying for it, when you can tap your inner griller and say I can cook steak better?
The difference is the air, the smoke, the way marinade just drips down into the coals and gets into the meat. It’s chemistry! Fire and flame and meat and mouthwatering smoke become one in a mystical, before time experience.
What is it about the American Grillman that’s so special that his or hers backyard cuts beat the insider professionals’ inflation-friendly ostentatious steaks?
It’s the unique chemistry of being American and charcoal flame. You’re not really part of America unless you’re grillin” like an American.
And on this first holiday Weekend coming up, it’s not Memorial Day Weekend unless you’re remembering and grillin’.
There’s just something about the searing intensity of glowing charcoal combining mystically with the testosterone and instinctual synergy between red meat and the dedicated outdoor griller — it beats in taste, juiciness and texture the contrived technology of the most expensive restaurant equipment.
No matter how tasty the megabuck meat is in the swank sticker-shock steak palaces, there’s always that articificiality packaged taste that marks the indoor steak. The butteriness. The soft crust of the black topped surface of the indoor steak just does not have the nubile grizzled roughhewn flamed yield and chewy grit of the outdoor one-on-one grilled steak that fights your bicuspids every cintimeter.
A restaurant steak is like a showgirl seen from a distance who looks older the closer you get.
Only one whose money is easily parted would pay $50 and up for a buttery indoor steak dinner when you can do it yourself in the backyard even in 20 degree weather even in the rain – the steaks done to perfection with the juices sealed in.
The chimney starter – the secret to the hot start. No more charcoal fluid needed. Take a copy of The Journal News and scrunch up the news section or the sports section in the bottom of the Chimney Starter. (Experience shows that copies of the Journal News — any Gannett paper — burn better than the New York Times which is very slow-starting)
Pour in a helping of those ultimate black beauties, Kingsford charcoal briquettes into the chimney top. Fifteen minutes before the wife has the sides ready, take a wooden match to the base of the starter and light up the edges of the newsprint. Within 10-15 minutes you’ve got coals a fire orange red.
You’re ready Mon to outcook the pros.
Eat Your Heart Out, Mr. or Ms. Professional Food Designer and Celebrity Chef!
After the Griller’s wife has marinated the meat – these Stop and Shop trimmed New York Strips sizzling in the caressing deep searing heat of glowing orange briquettes – 3 minutes a side and deft turning and surgical rareness checks – even the seasoned grillista simply has a feel for the meat – passed genetically down from generations of American grillers.
The combination of cauldron, flavored steel grill rods coated in the char of former grillings, and perfect licking flames create the branded grill marks right out of the old West that deliver the natural taste of the backyard steak – impossible to achieve for any price in the tehnological nuanced, high tech steam tables of today.
No one can do a great cut like you can, Mr. and Mrs. America!
FEEL THE BURN!
As any redblooded American Grillman will tell you when doing a steak – you can’t deliver a steak by manual or instructions. You have to feel the meat. Feel it cook. You just know its time.
Every cut is not the same.
The American Griller becomes one with the meat. With eye and knowledge of the hue of red – you just know by instinct when she’s done. Cooking is slowed down by moving the meats to the side off the heat to keep the American beauties warm
With the wife’s deft presentation, sweet potato fries, corn pudding, fresh beans and mushrooms without the sog of infrared glare, the Grillman’s natural art relegates the indoor steak out of the taste sweepstakes.
Gentlemen and Grillettes start your grills!
Fire up to get that taste of summer you cannot get in any indoor steakhouse no matter how much you pay.
