RaeAnn Tucker joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about National Water Week, Labor Day closures, insurance navigators around Henry County, gun locks, and bats. The Henry and Stark County Health Departments will close offices and clinics on Monday, September 1st, for Labor Day, although some home services remain available. Residents can reach local clinics or visit henrystarkhealth.com for details. As World Water Week approaches in August 2025, officials urge annual well checkups and safe chemical storage to protect local water supplies. Free in-person health insurance navigator help is available at several county locations, guiding residents through coverage options and applications. Additionally, officials promote free gun locks to prevent accidental injuries and advise vigilance against bats, which can transmit rabies—report any indoor bat sightings to animal control immediately.

The third hour of "Baskin and Phelps" for Tuesday, August 26, 2025

Beyond the fabled chill-out room and into the field we go... Joe Muggs has lived and breathed 'electronic music culture' for many, many years... like a lot of us probably for more than he'd care to imagine.  From journalist and observer to active participant and curator, beyond his celebrated writing career spanning publications like The Wire, FACT, The Guardian, and his co-authorship of  Bass, Mids, Tops: An Oral History of Soundsystem Culture. Muggs has built many bridges across the worlds of the electronic and handily, for us, ambient. Experimental, ambient, and leftfield sounds to the fore, get horizontal. Something's feeling quite full circle here. So it is with some excitement that Joe agreed to don his ambient trousers again and step up for part 4 of the Seeds mix. "Music to Smell the Jasmine Whilst Watching for Bats in the Twilight" encapsulates what is often a poetic approach to ambient curation - clearly less about the dancefloor and more about creating an experience that enhances the environment around you.

It was the Texas Department of Transportation's construction of the Congress Avenue bridge in the 1980s that first attracted Mexican Freetail bats to Austin, in droves that caused Austinites to push for their extermination. And now, TxDOT is caring for the bats once again, building alternative spots for their roosts as it tears apart bridges over Interstate 35. So to find out how they're faring in this new living situation, along with what happened to Austin's bats during the summer rainstorms, executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec is joined by Austin Bat Refuge co-founders, Dianne Odegard and Lee McKenzie. Plus, now is peak bat-watching season, so we've got a few tips on how and where to see them best.  Learn more about the sponsors of this August 25th episode: Wise Want some more Austin news?

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' 4-1 loss vs. the Cubs as the series is evened at one game apiece in Toronto. They take your calls and texts, and get into the offence being shut down by Cubs starter Cade Horton - was this an issue with the Jays approach, or was it simply a dominant performance from the Cubs rookie? They discuss Kevin Gausman's seven innings of work, the decision to not send Bo Bichette on the Vladimir Guerrero Jr. RBI double, and the performances from both Braydon Fisher and Mason Fluharty. Plus, they discuss some of Mark Shapiro's recent comments to the media. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

As the sun dips below the tree line and the night sky takes over, a quiet but critical process begins above our heads. Tiny silhouettes flit through the dark, weaving between branches and barn rafters, doing the work of a thousand pesticides—silently, efficiently and for free.These are Pennsylvania's bats, and despite their bad reputation in folklore and films, they're some of the hardest-working—and most misunderstood—members of our ecosystem.Bats matter more than most people realize. These nocturnal mammals play a critical role in keeping our environment balanced. They eat thousands of insects every night—mosquitoes, moths, beetles and other crop-damaging pests—saving farmers millions of dollars and helping reduce the need for chemical pesticides.While bats may be stealthy in the sky, their struggles are becoming increasingly visible on the ground. Populations have plummeted in recent years due to threats like habitat loss, climate change and —perhaps most devastating of all—White-nose Syndrome, a deadly fungal disease that's wiped-out entire colonies across the Northeast.Though these creatures are vital, there aren't a ton of local people and organizations working to protect these essential creatures in Pennsylvania. There are even fewer helping bats that have been injured or impacted.That's where Pennsylvania Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation steps in. They provide rescue and rehabilitation support for bats that are brought to their facility. Their staff and volunteers have committed much of their lives to helping re-introduce bats back into the wild. Once reintroduced, these bats can continue their incredible work in nature. But caring for bats can be a difficult and costly endeavor. There are few grants available and finding volunteers to help with such misunderstood creatures can be challenging. So that means we must do whatever we can to help Pennsylvania Bat Rescue and Rehabilitation. Donations. Sponsorships. Volunteers. Anything we can do to help. In fact, I am pledging a $100 donation to the organization to help with their important work. This money comes from podcast sticker and magnet purchases listeners have made over the last couple of years. So please, do what you can. On this episode I speak with Stephanie Stronsick.

Matt explores the human capacity for echolocation this week, dismantling the myth that this "biological sonar" is exclusive to animals. Revealing how peer-reviewed research shows all human brains possess the neural hardware to "see" with sound, Matt explains the physics of how sound creates detailed acoustic maps of our environment and introduces the brain's remarkable plasticity, setting the stage for this incredible sensory adaptation.The episode features stories of pioneers like Daniel Kish, who use echolocation to navigate with astonishing precision. Matt discusses groundbreaking studies from UC Berkeley and Durham University, where brain scans revealed the visual cortex rewires itself to process sound as spatial information. This evidence proves echolocation is not a rare gift but a learnable skill, forcing a reevaluation of the limits of human perception and the brain's adaptive power.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.As a huge supporter of mission-driven companies, Matt recommends new partner Branch Basics.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays' offensive barrage to open their series against the Colorado Rockies -- putting up a season-high 15 runs in the road win. They discuss Daulton Varsho's big fly, Bo Bichette's two-homer night, Eric Lauer overcoming his Coors Field demons and whether he's earned consideration for a start in the postseason. Blue Jays Central analyst Caleb Joseph stops by (24:02) to tee up the second game of the series in Colorado and discuss how José Berríos gets back on track with his fastball, Lauer's chances at getting a start in the postseason, Bo's hot streak and why the Jays must work something out on an extension. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Sal is not mincing words, slamming the Mets' inconsistent offense as the team's most significant hurdle to a successful postseason run. He argues that while many point to the starting rotation as the primary issue, the real problem lies with the team's core hitters—specifically Alonso, Lindor, and Nimmo. According to Sal, these players must perform consistently in high-stakes situations, or the Mets have no chance of advancing in the playoffs. He points to the team's struggles with runners in scoring position as a damning symptom of a deeper, more fundamental flaw in their offensive approach, a flaw that he believes must be fixed if they have any hope of winning it all.

Relievers? Bats? Both? Neither? Also, Bryce Harper goes nose-to-nose with Rob Manfred in a heated clubhouse meeting over a potential salary cap, and we recap a mostly good series in the Bronx and a bad start to their series in Chicago Monday night. Takeaways The Phillies are struggling to maintain consistent performance, especially against weaker teams. JT Real Muto's resurgence has significantly improved the Phillies' lineup. The trade deadline is approaching, and the Phillies need to prioritize bullpen help. Bryce Harper's vocal stance against a salary cap highlights player concerns about management's intentions.
