1. Becky Hobbs talks of her journey in music and to the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, which also led her to produce a musical in honor of her 5th Great Grandmother Nanyehi, also known as Nancy Ward, of the Cherokee Nation, who was honored as a great warrior woman but who spoke out for peace between her and the new European settlers in the 1700s. Listen to Becky help bring Nanyehi alive as a messenger of peace for today beginning with the women, as Elaine plays 5 of the songs from the album Nanyehi: Beloved Woman of the Cherokee. Perhaps a listener can help bring the musical produced by Becky Hobbs and Nick Sweet, Nanyehi – the Story of Nancy Ward, to stage in the North Bay?

About our Guest: Becky Hobbs, “The Beckaroo,” as she is called by her friends, was born and raised in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. She is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She started playing piano and writing songs when she was nine years old and in high school formed “The Four faces of Eve,” the first all-female rock band in the state of Oklahoma. Becky has performed in over 40 countries, including nine in Africa. Her songs have been recorded by Alabama, Conway Twitty (#1 hit I Want To Know You Before We Make Love), George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris, Glen Campbell, Wanda Jackson, John Anderson, Janie Fricke, Lacy J Dalton, Moe Bandy, Shelly West, Helen Reddy, Shirley Bassey, Jane Oliver, Ken Mellons, Demi Lovato, and others. She is the co-writer of Alabama’s hit, Angels Among Us, which has been used by many charities throughout the world, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In 2011, Becky’s CD, “Nanyehi-Beloved Woman of the Cherokee” was released. It contains 17 songs written for a musical, based on the life of her 5th-great grandmother, Nancy Ward (1738-1822). She co-produced with Nick Sweet the musical Nanyehi – the Story of Nancy Ward. Becky was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame on Oct. 16, 2015.

1.   We, Elaine B. Holtz and Kenneth E. Norton, interview ourselves as the Producers of the Women’s Spaces Show to reveal a bit more about about what motivates us in putting the show together.  As an exception to featuring only women guests  on Women’s Spaces and starting a tradition on this last show of the year, Elaine interviews Ken and then Ken Elaine about our backgrounds, challenges and inspirations on our life journey apart and together. Like the Yin and Yang symbol, there is a mix of our lives in this show.  Since Elaine is the voice of Women’s Spaces we will provide a bit more time in the interview of Ken, whose voice on the show has been confined to “Good Morning,” until today.  Ken provides the technical expertise for the broadcast, the archiving of the shows on this website, and collaboration on producing the show with the “still small voice” of conscience in mind.  Ken was especially influenced by his mentor William Hermanns, and recounts his first meeting with him.  Ken also shares his mentor’s Ten Words to the Creative Spirit that for him act as his Soul’s operations panel, and Ken feels that no Soul should be without these Ten Words, and no Soulcraft without these ten functions.  Elaine recounts some experiences that gave her the courage to voice her concerns on women and peace issues that eventually led to her radio show.

Women’s Spaces Radio Show on KBBF-FM 89.1 with host Elaine B. Holtz and guest Lynette Shaw, the Godmother of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries,  broadcast on 5/23/16, has been uploaded to the web archives.

http://www.womensspaces.com/ArchiveWSKBBF/WSA160523.html

Featuring Guest:

1. Lynette Shaw  ,  Godmother of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries

Announcements

Guest 1.  Lynette Shaw shares how she earned her title as Godmother of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries with her dogged compassion and willingness to help patients in her 18 year long legal battle with the Federal Department of Justice and DEA.  Lynette with her attorneys were able to keep the doors open 11 years with appeals to President Clinton’s administration’s lawsuit, U.S. vs. Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana and Lynette Shaw, to close the first dispensary in California and the United States to receive a local permit.  Finally on April 12, 2016, after 5 years in seclusion for fear of reprisals by the DOJ against her colleagues and friends, Lynetter received word that the DOJ and DEA dropped their challenges after being berated by the 9th Circuit Judge for denying Lynette her Constitutional Rights as afforded by the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment that denied budgeting the DEA’s attack on Medical Cannabis Dispensaries in those states like California that have laws protecting its use.

Guest Link: lynnetteshaw@veteranscannabisgroup.com

The following article is about the Federal 9th Circuit decision by Judge Breyer that was appealed by the DOJ in December 2015.  The DOJ dropped its appeal on April 12, 2016.  Lynette did win for all medical cannabis patients!  Maybe President Obama again remembered his use of marijuana as a student in Hawaii, the number of states that passed laws at the behest of its citizens,  and the disconnect with the federal law prohibiting its use supposed by President Nixon to have no medical value and is harmful?

2.  Commentary on the host’s
Letter to the Editor of the Press Democrat, published  Friday May 22, 2015:

Misplaced priorities

EDITOR: What? Ninety-three billion dollars allocated for the military in the so-called balanced budget? Who are we as a nation? Are we a nation that values life or promotes death?

Recognize who is going to suffer — our children and their future. What will they inherit? Endless wars, disease epidemics due to lack of medical care for all, under-education due to the trashing of public education, hunger as food prices rise and food stamps are cut for those who need a boost and, sadly, the elderly sleeping on the streets because Social Security has been destroyed?

Wait a minute. We are fighting for the fetus and, at the same time, killing children already born in other countries and on the streets of U.S., and it is all justified and budgeted.

It is interesting listening to candidates who let us know how they support the military and agree with the cutting of social services. Oops, be careful. I forgot social services means socialism. A good slogan this election cycle: profits over humanity.

I ask again, are we a nation that values life or promotes death?
