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 February including new very funny stories and poems by Wolfgang Hampel will be available soon.


Happy birthday to unique Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel.

Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald interviews have fans in 40 countries. I bet there will be many more fans in the future.


Isn' t this amazing? 

Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. Both delight their fans from all over the world. 

I'd like to have a Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD with his very funny poems and stories. What about a book? 



We adore Wolfgang Hampel's high humor and wit in Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his wonderful Betty MacDonald interviews.

I heard many more Alison Bard Burnett interviews by Wolfgang Hampel will be published in the future. 


Come on, please. Do it! This couple is so funny. I can listen to them a million times without getting tired. 


Pure Bard and Hampel magic.


Wonderful story tellers, world painters, great entertainers. 

Alison Bard Burnett and Wolfgang Hampel share it with Betty MacDonald fan club fans from all over the world. 


By the way I don't like poems so much but Wolfgang Hampel's satirical poems are as witty and charming as his Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald Interviews. Wolfgang Hampel's very funny stories about everyday life make us laugh aloud.

I heard one of the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter stories are about our beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor members.


My family and I are crazy about Mr. Tigerli - our unique trouble shooter!


Yours,

Ari


Don't miss this very special book, please.

Cologne carnival organisers hand out leaflets telling migrants not to rape women or urinate in public in the wake of New Year sex attacks

  • Refugees are being warned about assaults, alcohol and urinating in public 
  • Cities on edge after hundreds of women were assaulted on New Year's Eve
  • Carnival is massive week-long celebration in cities like Cologne and Bonn
  • Heavy police presence will try to ensure there is no repeat of mass attacks

Cologne and Bonn carnival organisers have begun handing out rules for refugees for next week's jollity - with warnings about women, alcohol and urinating in public.
The cities are on edge after mass sexual assaults by immigrants against hundreds of women on New Year's Eve in Cologne. The number of complaints resulting from the frenzy in and around the main station now stands at over 820.
Carnival is, if anything, even bigger than New Year in the Rhineland where cities like Bonn, Cologne and Dusseldorf go crazy in a week long celebration of parades, parties, dances and fetes.

A million people are expected on the streets of Dusseldorf alone next Monday when the party gets underway.
A massive police presence, both uniformed and undercover, will be deployed to try to ensure there is no repeat of the scenes which marred the last day of the year in Cologne and in several other German cities. 
In Bonn, carnival organisers have now printed leaflets welcoming migrants - provided they behave themselves.
Printed in several languages including Arabic, the flyers read: 'People dress up to celebrate, sing and dance together. In the carnival time everyone must deal respectfully with one another and observe the laws.
'Bützen - that means kisses on the cheeks. Sexual approaches are not allowed! Women and men must always be in agreement. No means no!

'Dancing to the music is also a way to celebrate carnival. Many people also celebrate with drinks and alcohol. Please - only in moderation!  
'Urinating in public is forbidden!'
Bonn carnival chief Christoph Arnold went with representatives of the police and the local integration commissioner Colette Manemann to a refugee centre to hand out the leaflets in person.
In Cologne one of the points raised on the leaflet - which is printed in Arabic too - is also about alcohol, which Muslims are not supposed to consume.
It reads: 'Many in Cologne will be drinking beer or other alcoholic beverages at carnival time, but of course there is no obligation to do so. 
'Having fun, singing and dancing can all be done as well without alcohol.'
One Syrian called Noble, 19, who has been in Germany for four months, confessed to being bemused about the celebrations, saying: 'It's something people don't do where I'm from. People drink alcohol, dress up - this is all very strange.'
