Today's True Weird Stuff - Mammoth Feast (Airdate 5/16/2025)   In 1901, an expedition team in Siberia discovered a nearly perfectly preserved mammoth locked in permafrost for 44,000 years. Various tales of the consumption of mammoth meat have been around for centuries, but none like the Explorers Club's 47th Annual Dinner in 1951.  The exclusive meal was rumoured to have included a host of exotic delicacies, including pieces of 250,000-year-old woolly mammoth meat. It wouldn't be until decades later that examinations of a sample of the meat from that legendary dinner would solve the mystery, once and for all.

This episode of The Valley Today with host Janet Michael and cohost Niki Foster, President of the Front Royal-Warren County Chamber of Commerce, provided a wealth of information about the Chamber's various committees, upcoming events, and the overall community spirit that drives these initiatives. Janet and Niki delved into the significant impact of the Chamber's Nonprofit Alliance and Senior Alliance committees. These committees have rejuvenated participation and provided platforms for continuous engagement and shared learning among the participants. Niki highlighted the essence of these alliances, stating, "The meetings energize me... It's just this positive source of energy." Interestingly, the Nonprofit Alliance welcomes both Chamber and non-Chamber members, fostering a collaborative environment for all. A remarkable initiative discussed was the Chamber's open approach allowing non-members to benefit from networking opportunities. Janet credited Niki for her foresight in understanding that everyone needs to get together and talk every once in a while. The Business Development Committee was another focal point, detailing how it organizes various programs and workshops such as Coffee and Conversations and business-related events like lunch and learns. Niki emphasized the committee's role in filling educational gaps and supporting local businesses. Niki also revealed the return of two significant events: the Annual Dinner and Awards event, and the Something's Brewin' Beer Festival. The Annual Dinner, a tradition paused due to COVID-19, is set to make a grand return in June, celebrating the community's positive aspects. The Beer Festival, scheduled for September, promises to be a fun community gathering featuring an assortment of beers, ciders, and meads. Business After Hours, a monthly networking event, and its importance were also discussed. It's an opportunity for members to network, showcase their businesses, and for potential members to experience the benefits of Chamber membership for themselves. In the conversation, the Chamber's adaptability was lauded, particularly in its Coffee and Conversations series. These monthly meetings address timely and relevant topics, maintaining flexibility to pivot as needed. Niki encourages community members to suggest topics and areas of interest, emphasizing the Chamber's role in community education. The chamber's committees, from legislative to event-specific planning groups, offer numerous engagement opportunities. Niki advocates for community participation, ensuring there is a committee for everyone's interest and passion.

In February of 2004 the late Charles Krauthammer delivered the keynote address at AEI's Annual Dinner.  It was a year into the Iraqi war and several years into the War on Terror.  Krauthammer's address—entitled Democratic Realism—lauded much of the Bush administration's approach to the war, but offered some stern warnings on how the war and rebuilding efforts might go awry.  His warnings proved to be profoundly prescient as the following years led to the disillusionment of what broadly (and wrongly) became known as NeoCon foreign policy.   What had the Right missed in Krauthammer's warnings?  What foreign policy approaches has the United States historically taken, and are any of them still relevant?  How might conservatism shed light on the most appropriate foreign policy we could pursue?  Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is returning guest Michael Lucchese to think through the lessons learned in American foreign policy.   About Michael Lucchese Michael Lucchese is the founder and CEO of Pipe Creek Consulting, a communications firm based in Washington, D.C., and a visiting scholar at the Liberty Fund.  Previously, he was a communications aide to U.S. Senator Ben Sasse.   He received a BA in American Studies at Hillsdale College and was a Hudson Institute Political Studies fellow and an alumnus of the Röpke-Wojtyła Fellowship at Catholic University of America's Busch School of Business. Michael is an Associate Editor at Law & Liberty and a contributing editor to Providence.  His writings have also appeared in multiple publications, including the Washington Examiner and National Review, Engelsberg Ideas, and Public Discourse.

For this episode of Acton Line, we're bringing you the remarks by Rev. Timothy J. Keller at the Acton Institute's Annual Dinner in 2018, in which he spoke on identity, business, and the Christian gospel. Keller, the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC, New York Times bestselling author, teacher, and arguably the most influential evangelical preacher of his generation died May 19, 2023, after a three-year struggle with pancreatic cancer. He was 72. He leaves behind his wife of 48 years, Kathy, and three sons: David, Michael, and Jonathan. Keller's winsome appeal and professorial demeanor grew an exploratory prayer group in 1989 to a 5,000-plus-member megachurch in the heart of the Big Apple, a supposed desert wasteland for spirituality. His impact on urban church planting, his ability to speak in a forthright and non-condescending manner to skeptics, and his deliberate avoidance of political partisanship were just a few qualities that made him stand out in a world of so-called celebrity preachers and would-be chaplains to the rich and famous. His intellectual curiosity wedded to a personal humility were also hallmarks of his unique ministry. Through such books as The Reason for God, The Prodigal God, Generous Justice, and Making Sense of God, Keller argued for the centrality of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his all-sufficient sacrifice in a world of idols and “self-made” men and women. As he liked to sum it up: “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.”Taped just a few weeks before his death, he left behind one final message for Redeemer Presbyterian Church and any who would wish to follow in his footsteps. “Forget about your reputation. Jeremiah 45:5: ‘Seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not.' … Ministers, don't make your ministry success your identity… People, don't make getting a big name in New York City your main thing. Lift up Jesus' name. Hallowed be thy name. Forget yourself.” For those who had the honor to hear him, to be counseled by him, to be challenged by him—he will never be forgotten.Subscribe to our podcastsDied: Tim Keller, New York City Pastor Who Modeled Winsome Witness | Christianity Today Hosted on Acast.

Wesleyan's swimming and diving teams swept the Class AAA-A state championships Saturday night at Georgia Tech's McAuley Aquatic Center. The Wolves claimed the girls state title with 300 points, finishing ahead of runner-up St. Vincent's Academy's 282. Whitefield Academy was a distant third at 215. Hebron Christian's girls, with five swimmers, tied for 11th with 70 points. Wesleyan's boys scored 252 points to top second-place Whitefield Academy and North Cobb Christian. Providence Christian's boys took fourth at 193. Hattie Wasmuth starred for the Wesleyan girls with two individual state championships — the 200-yard individual medley in 2 minutes, 6.03 seconds and the 500 freestyle in 5:10.93. She also joined Vivian Hosier, Ansley Chapman and Caroline Stewart on a state title-winning 400 free relay. Wesleyan's boys team won both the 200 free relay and the 400 free relay. Many Gwinnett Chamber board presidents get it easy during their year leading the Board of Directors. They may serve during a year when the chamber is taking on a major initiative or a leadership change, but, in the grand scheme of things, it's nothing overly daunting. Tammy Shumate, on the other hand, got to be board president in 2020, a.k.a the year a global pandemic hit and shut everything down. While that might sound like a tough time to be the board's president, Shumate said it was a good experience in retrospect. She said she learned a lot in a short time, although the experience was similar  to “drinking from a firehouse” as Tammy put it. Tammy Shumate — who is the director of corporate development at her husband, Greg's, company, Capital City Home Loans LLC — was feted at the Gwinnett Chamber's 75th Annual Dinner at the Gas South District on Friday night as she was named the chamber's Citizen of the Year. She strode up to the stage to accept her award while Shania Twain's “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” played over the sound system. She picked the song out herself. Shumate has been involved with the Gwinnett Chamber for more than a decade. She estimated she has been on its Board of Directors for about at least 15 years. Wherever you needed him, the late Scott Cramer was there. Cramer spent the past 18 years as a basketball official with the Multi-County Basketball Officials Association based out of Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties and the longtime Lawrenceville resident was honored in between basketball games at Archer High School Friday night. He passed away unexpectedly last August at the age of 55, leaving a void in the community. The decorated official had the honor of refereeing two state championship games in 2019 and 2021, but what he prided himself the most on was helping others. He spent countless hours training officials and served as the association's vice president of training up until his passing. Archer was the perfect place to honor Cramer. While he never got to referee a game there, it was at the school where his two daughters graduated. He also spent many Friday nights watching the Tigers football team from the stands. Cramer started his passion for officiating in college. He attended Western Illinois University and started officiating parks and recreation games as a freshman. A year later, he was working local high school games in the area and honing in on his craft. After moving to Georgia, Cramer became a member of the MCBOA and remained with the organization. From parks and recreation games to high school games, Cramer went anywhere he was asked. Many of Cramer's friends and fellow officials spoke Friday night, remember a good friend and someone who was always enthusiastic about his job, even training the young officials. Gwinnett firefighters battled a fire at a large home located at the River Club in Suwanee Sunday morning for about two hours before extinguishing it. Fire officials said firefighters responded at 3:35 a.m. to a neighbor's report of a house fire in the River Club gated community. The 911 caller advised entire front of the home was on fire, fire officials said. On arrival, crews found a large 9,000 square-foot, two-story residence on a basement that was fully involved throughout the main portion of the home. Within two hours, firefighters had knocked down the main body of fire, Wilson said. Crews remained on scene for another five hours dousing hotspots and applying foam to smoldering areas. The home was completely gutted and is total loss. No injuries were reported.  A fire investigator responded to the scene for origin and cause determination. The cause of the fire is currently undetermined and under investigation.  According to the private security for the River Club subdivision, the homeowners were out of town. Gwinnett County officials will give residents several chances in February and early March to learn about the new Ride Gwinnett transit routes and offer feedback on the service. Ride Gwinnett, which was previously known as Gwinnett County Transit until it was formally renamed in January, will kick off a series of meetings with a virtual session from 9:30 until 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The meetings come as the transit service prepares to roll out new local service routes that will serve the Snellville, Stone Mountain, Buford and Suwanee areas, adding a new connection to destinations such as the Mall of Georgia.

Today's episode is a brief one, and takes us back in time to 2000 and the remarks from Sir John Templeton at the Acton Institute's Annual Dinner. It was at this dinner that Templeton was award the inaugural Acton Institute Faith & Freedom Award for his contributions to civil society as “a pioneering philanthropist with wisdom to understand the tremendous role of faith in the course of human history.”Beginning a Wall Street career in 1937, he created some of the world's largest and most successful international investment funds. Templeton, a member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), was known for starting mutual funds' annual meetings with a prayer. Templeton was knighted Sir John by Queen Elizabeth II in 1987 for his many accomplishments. One of these was creating the world's richest award, the $1 million-plus Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities presented annually in London since 1972. Because of his vision, the John Templeton Foundation continues to give away about $40 million a year – especially to projects, college courses, books, and essays on the benefits of cooperation between science and religion.In 2003, The Templeton Foundation committed to a generous pledge to launch the Templeton Freedom Awards program with Atlas Network. Since that time, Atlas has presented these awards and grants to outstanding think tanks working to improve the public understanding of freedom.
