Jazz Goes to the Movies Week 2 Share
Join Doug Crane on Wednesday evening April 14, at 8 pm for week 2 of “Jazz Goes to the Movies” on the Night Beat.
It’s all about the melody this week as Doug turns his attention to Oscar-winning, Oscar-nominated, and should have been Oscar-nominated songs.
As you’ll hear, often it’s the songs featured in a movie that endure long after the film is forgotten. As examples, “Secret Love” was featured in “Calamity Jane”, “Mona Lisa” in Captain Carey, USA” and “Blazing Saddles” in “Blazing Saddles”. (We tried to fool you with the last one but it was nominated for a Best Original Song Oscar)

SHERMAN The village of Sherman will be festive and bright year-round, board members decided at their recent meeting.
Jay Irwin, chief wastewater operator, explained to board members that he and streets superintendent Doug Crane have discussed using the Christmas light strands for other seasons. He said they are considering pastel colors for Easter; red, white and blue for July; and orange, yellow and black for the fall.
Irwin also noted how dark Main Street is now that the Christmas lights have been removed. He suggested that white LED lights could also be put in, especially in the winter, to help light Main Street.
December 30, 2020 The Ukiah City Council will be short one member as soon as Second District Supervisor-elect Maureen Mulheren leaves the council to take her seat on the Board of Supervisors next week. Earlier this month, the Council voted to fill her seat by appointment rather than special election. The council has replaced departing members by appointment at least since 1947, according to a document put together by City Clerk Kristine Lawler. In 2013, when Mari Rodin left, the council did call for a special election, but Steve Scalmanini was the only candidate, so the election was canceled and he was appointed instead. A special election would cost the city $30,000, since there are no other jurisdictions to share the check.
