This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for November 13, 2023.The week will start sunny and pleasant on Monday, with a high of 63 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. The low will drop down to 35 degrees, with clear skies. The National Weather Service projects sunny skies and highs in the 60s for much of the rest of the week.Pharmacies across Iowa have closed at an alarming rate over the past decade-plus, partly because insurance payouts don't cover drug costs.Nearly 100 pharmacies across the state have shut their doors since 2008, according to research from a Drake University professor in a recent study.And it's still an issue. A survey last month conducted by the Iowa Pharmacy Association of its members found 40 percent of responding pharmacies expect to close within the next 12 months.Pharmacists, lawmakers, policy experts and patient advocates say pharmacy benefit managers are largely to blame.Pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, are third party companies that function as intermediaries between insurance providers and drug manufacturers.Mike Deninger is a co-owner and pharmacist at Towncrest Pharmacy. The group collectively owns eight community pharmacies in Iowa City, Solon, Van Horne, Marengo, Belle Plaine and New Hampton.Independent pharmacies like his rely on PBMs so that they can take various insurance plans, but those companies also decide how much money the pharmacists receive when reimbursing them.“They will pay us whatever they feel like paying us, and it can change at any given time,” he said.Iowa Republican U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and colleagues this week introduced a bipartisan proposal that would tackle practices used by pharmacy benefit managers that drive up costs for prescription medications.The bill would use a flat fee to compensate PBMs instead of pegging payments to a percentage of the cost of a drug.A Cedar Rapids man has been charged with vehicular homicide and operating while intoxicated after his vehicle struck two pedestrians in the road Sunday, killing one and injuring the other.Kyle Kubite, 45, of Cedar Rapids, was arrested Sunday and charged with the crimes after the pedestrians were struck in the 1400 block of Memorial Dr SE at roughly 4:45 p.m. SundayAccording to a media release from the Cedar Rapids Police Department, investigators determined Kubite was driving while intoxicated on Memorial Drive when he struck the two pedestrians, a man and a woman.The woman was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to the release. The man had non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital for treatment.Police say the investigation is still underway but they are releasing no further information as of Sunday evening. The identities of the two pedestrians are being withheld while police investigate and family members can first be notified of the news.

Genesis Fertilizers is a partnership that will be majority owned by Western Canadian farmers to build a urea production and distribution facility to be located at Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan, and a network of seven storage and distribution facilities across the three Prairie provinces.One of those distribution centers will be in Northeast Saskatchewan at Tisdale. This proposed project, if completed, will be new investment in, and will create jobs at, the newly established agricultural industrial park in Tisdale. Terry Drabiuk is the Vice President of Business Development for Genesis.He'll talk about the company's plans and how farmers can get involved.Four provincial farm organizations want the Saskatchewan government to examine the proposed merger between Bungee and Viterra. Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, along with crop commissions SaskCanola, SaskWheat and SaskBarley have sent a joint letter to Agriculture Minister David Marit making the request.Farmers are worried about less competition. A recent poll of farmers found that well over 80 percent were concerned about a lack of competition if the Bunge/Viterra deal is approved. APAS President Ian Boxall shares those concerns and points to the province's examination of the 2012 Glencore-Viterra merger as a precedent . . . along with a 2010 proposed merger between Potash Corp and BHP Billiton, which eventually fell through.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for lawmakers to severely limit or ban abortion in the state, reversing a decision by the court just four years ago that guaranteed the right to abortion under the Iowa Constitution. According to the Associated Press, the court, now composed almost entirely of Republican appointees, concluded that a less conservative court wrongly decided abortion is among the fundamental privacy rights guaranteed by the Iowa Constitution and federal law. Friday's ruling comes amid expectations that the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, which would turn the decision to restrict abortion back to the states. If that happens, Iowa lawmakers could ban abortion without completing the lengthy process of amending the state constitution. The Iowa decision stemmed from a lawsuit filed by abortion providers who challenged a 2020 law that required a 24-hour waiting period before a woman can get an abortion, so that waiting period requirement would now go into effect. There will be no casino in Cedar Rapids for at least two years after Gov. Kim Reynolds signed into law Friday a provision that places a moratorium on new casino licenses. An amendment to a larger gambling bill means regulators cannot issue any new licenses in Iowa — including plans for a https://www.thegazette.com/local-government/cedar-rapids-casino-plans-envision-250-million-cedar-crossing-entertainment-complex-at-old-coope/ (potential $250 million, 160,000 square-foot entertainment and cultural arts complex) at the site of now-demolished Cooper's Mill near downtown Cedar Rapids — until June 2024. Citing “gambling fatigue,” the Republican-led Iowa Legislature this year https://www.thegazette.com/state-government/iowa-lawmakers-propose-2-year-moratorium-on-new-casinos/ (approved the two-year moratorium on new casinos), essentially taking action on a matter that traditionally has been conducted by the state's Racing and Gaming Commission. The new law jeopardizes Cedar Rapids' third try for a casino. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission previously denied a gaming license to Linn County in 2014 and 2017, both times citing studies showing it would “cannibalize” revenues from other casinos, particularly Riverside Casino & Golf Course in Washington County. Cedar Rapids casino backers were hopeful the current commission would be receptive to a Linn County casino, as previous opponents had cycled off the panel. Cedar Rapids-based Kirkwood Community College has announced plans to close two of its eight regional and county centers due to declining enrollment and a “significant decrease” in use of the locations. The college's 28-year-old Tippie-Mansfield Center in Belle Plaine and its 31-year-old Cedar County Center in Tipton will permanently close June 30, according to a Kirkwood news release. The closures will reduce Kirkwood's Eastern Iowa locations from 14 to 12 and eliminate its physical presence in Cedar County, one of the seven counties in its service area. The announcement this week comes less than a month after Kirkwood announced plans to re-evaluate use of its 97,000-square-foot Iowa City...
Kunst, sex, hedonisme og okkultisme er alle nøkkelord i livshistorien til Marjorie Cameron, kvinnen som etter hvert skulle identifisere seg selv med den thelemiske gudinnen Babalon. Cameron var et bindeledd mellom Crowleys okkultisme, 60-tallets kulturrevolusjon og vår egen tid. Etter å ha vokst opp i det idylliske Belle Plaine, vervet Marjorie seg til Marinen, hvor hun raskt steg i gradene. Da krigen tok slutt planla hun å flytte til New York med kjæresten, men livet hennes ble snudd på hodet når hun møtte den eksentriske vitenskapsmannen, Jack Parsons.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Thursday, December 2. Thursday will feature the warmest weather left in the week, as temperatures will gradually drop afterward. According to a forecast from the National Weather Service, it will be mostly sunny with a high near 60 in the Cedar Rapids area. The wind will be moderate to light, calming to 5 mph by Thursday evening with a low of 37 degrees. The number of Iowans hospitalized with COVID-19 this week, including those in need of intensive care and ventilators to help breathe, reached the highest level in nearly a year. Hospitalizations in the state as a result of the coronavirus increased for the fourth week in a row, jumping to 721 from 623 last week, according to a report released Wednesday by the Iowa Department of Public Health. That's the highest seen since Dec. 17, 2020, when 746 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19. The number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care and on ventilators also is at the highest total since December 2020. In one bit of more positive news, the state reported 9,489 new COVID-19 cases this week, a decline compared to the previous week after five weeks of increasing infections. The state reported 10,643 new cases a week before. It is too soon to know if this will start a downward trend for infections, but since hospitalizations tend to lag a few weeks behind infections, a decrease in infections could give Iowa's hospitals a chance to catch up with the latest surge. Residents in northeast Cedar Rapids will be losing a grocery shopping option. Hy-Vee will permanently close its Collins Road NE grocery store, adjacent to Lindale Mall in Cedar Rapids, on Jan. 9. The store has 53 full-time and 141 part-time employees, Hy-Vee communications officer Tina Potthoff said in an email. Pothoff said the employees will be offered jobs at other locations in the area. The closing is one of 4 stores being shuttered by the chain across 4 states. Pharmacy customers will receive a letter notifying them their prescriptions will be transferred to a nearby Hy-Vee Pharmacy, or a pharmacy of their choosing, the company also said. Hy-Vee Aisles Online pick-up services at these stores will cease as of Monday, Dec. 6. Delivery options will be fulfilled by a nearby Hy-Vee location, the chain said. A Belle Plaine man was charged with two felonies Tuesday after police said he stole over $10,000 worth of copper from an abandoned apartment building. Cedar Rapids police responded to a burglary report Monday at the Colonial Centre building and found Jeremiah Lee Hawkins, according to a criminal complaint. Along with Hawkins, police found two bags of copper wire that had been cut from the structure at 1500 Second Ave. SE, in the Wellington Heights neighborhood. Police said Hawkins admitted to the burglary. The 33-year-old Hawkins is charged with first-degree criminal mischief, a Class C felony, and third-degree burglary, a Class D felony. He's also charged with possession of burglary tools and possession of methamphetamine. Are you a fan of trying new restaurants?

Either way, you'll say, "Thanks for the memories." Years ago I was the keynoter for a Junior League Mother-Daughter event in Orange County, CA. I sat on a dirty sidewalk outside the venue dressed as a homeless woman to see what attention I'd attract. I was ignored, ridiculed and some tried to have me removed as a danger. Imagine how quiet the room became when the keynoter was introduced and I walked in a side door to the front of the hall where I slowly removed my outer garments while telling the audience a story about Ubuntu: seeing and being seen.I've often wondered what happened to all of them. Did they recognize their own behavior? Did something change in them as a result? Was this an act of theater or kindness?We chip away at opposition by sewing seeds of doubt in the other person about the strength of their position while inviting them to shift their view with their own understanding.Prompt: When and how have you shifted your own viewpoint, chipped away at your own opposition? Write that story! Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.

Frederick had been botanizing along the Columbia River in Oregon. For three years, Frederick had collected specimens across North America. He had just encountered the explorer John Freemont, when all of his work, which was secured in a canoe nearby, was drawn into the rapids. Frederick plunged into the river and retrieved his copy of The Flora by Torrey and Gray. The devastating loss was recorded in Freemont's journal who wrote: "In the natural concern I felt for his misfortune, I gave to the little cove the name of Lueders' Bay." For Frederick’s part, the loss of his specimens was devastating. The loss of his instruments and his correspondence with Asa Gray and Dr. Englemann was almost too much for him. Frederick determined his best course of action was to return home. He traveled south around the tip of Chile and then onto England. It took him a full year to get back to Hamburg after his mishap on the Columbia. Frederick didn't stay in Germany long; he returned to America within the next year. By 1851, he had made his way to Wisconsin; he spent the rest of his life in Sauk City, and he dabbled in astronomy, but he also became a florist. A biographical sketch said that in his old age, Frederick Lueders was mainly devoted to his flowers. November 13, 1870 Today is the birthday of the physician, naturalist, and civic leader of the south-central Kansas town of Belle Plaine - Dr. Walter E. Bartlett. In 1910, Walter started the Bartlett Arboretum by purchasing 15 acres of land on the edge of a town called Belle Plaine - about 20 miles south of Wichita. The property had good soil, and it also had a little creek. One of Walter's initial moves was to dam up the creek and create a lake for waterfowl. In the flat expanse of Kansas, Walter was tree obsessed. He planted them everywhere - lining walkways, drives, and riverbanks. Walter was civic-minded. He enhanced the arboretum with a running track, a trap shooting area, and a baseball diamond complete with a grandstand. After Walter died, the park was managed by his landscape architect son, Glenn. Glenn had studied the gardens at Versailles - noting that they were transformed out of sand dunes and marshes. Back home, the Bartlett Arboretum had similar challenges. Glenn married Margaret Myers, an artist, a magazine fashion designer, a floral designer, a Garden Club organizer, and an instructor. Combining their fantastic skillsets, Glenn and Margaret turned the Arboretum into something quite beautiful. Together, they Incorporated tree specimens from all over the world. Using dredged dirt from the lake, they created man-made islands. At one point, the Bartlett Arboretum was the only Arboretum between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Known for its beautiful spring tradition called Tulip Time, the Arboretum featured a tulip bed with over 40,000 bulbs. In 1997, the Arboretum was sold to Robin Macy. Macy was one of the founding members of the Dixie Chicks, and she is the current steward of the Bartlett Arboretum. Naturally, Robin incorporated music into the Arboretum. The Facebook Group for the Arboretum recently shared a register page from April 7th, 1929, and across the top of the register, Walter Bartlett quoted Wordsworth. He wrote, “He is the happiest who has the power to gather wisdom from a flower.” If you get the chance to visit the Arboretum, you’ll likely agree that the folks who tend the flowers and trees at Bartlett make people happy all year long. November 13, 1982 On this day newspaper shared a great story about the author of "Agaves of Continental North America," Howard Scott Gentry: "This elder statesman of the botanical world [is] a first-class charmer when you get .... to his subject;... his love for the wilds of Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico, ...the years he spent overseas as an agricultural explorer for the USDA, and how he gradually came to know more about agaves "than any other human being." After Gentry completed a doctorate in botany at the University of Michigan, he became a USDA agricultural explorer. Based in Maryland, Gentry traveled the world, locating, researching, and collecting plants for the government. During the time Gentry collected, the USDA was highly interested in plants in the agave family and the wild yam family, which contained compounds that seemed useful in treating arthritis. Because of his far-flung collecting (he traveled in 24 foreign countries), Gentry was regularly introducing (and writing about) new plants. It was high-profile work in the botanical community. Regarding his career, Gentry reflected: "I refused several times to become a desk man for USDA. It was a chance to cut out all the travel, but I told them, 'No, not me. I want to work with plants, not people. People are problems." November 13, 2010 It was on this day that Jane Powers wrote an excellent botanical history piece for the Irish Times. I especially loved this article because Jane correlated the number of bedding plants a person ordered during the middle of the 19th century and their corresponding personal wealth. Here's what Jane wrote: “In the heyday of bedding, the number of plants that a person displayed was a gauge of their wealth and status. According to the head gardener at the Rothschild estate at Halton in Buckinghamshire: it was 10,000 plants for a squire, 20,000 plants for a baronet, 30,000 plants for an earl, and 40,000 plants for a duke.” Unearthed Words Thank goodness for the first snow. It was a reminder--no matter how old you became and how much you'd seen, things could still be new if you were willing to believe they still mattered. —Candace Bushnell, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sex and the City A garden is a love song, a duet between a human being and Mother Nature. —Jeff Cox, American garden writer Grow That Garden Library P. Allen Smith's Seasonal Recipes from the Garden by P. Allen Smith This book came out in 2010, and the subtitle is A Garden Home Cookbook. I fell in love with Allen’s cookbook the minute I discovered that he makes his pie crust the same way my mom taught me to make my pie crust. That little connection won my trust. As one of America’s best-known gardeners and garden designers, Allen celebrates every season with reliable recipes that showcase fruits, vegetables, and herbs at their garden-fresh best. Allen’s debut cookbook features 120 recipes: 30 for each season. There’s nothing outlandish or off-the-charts difficult here. Allen’s appeal is that he focuses on the dishes that everyone loves to eat. My favorites include: Chilled Pea Soup with Bacon and Whipped Cream Salad of Asparagus, Edamame, Arugula, and Cheese Radish Top Pasta Aunt Martha’s Corn Pudding Rosemary-Garlic Smoked Pork Tenderloin Parmesan Pecan Crisps Roasted Red Pepper Soup Slow-Cooker Lamb Stew Savory Rosemary Butternut Squash Tiny Orange Muffins Another aspect of this cookbook that I love is that Allen shares delightful personal stories with every recipe. This book is 256 pages of easy-going recipes that utilize the goodness from our gardens and will make you feel like you’re cooking with a trusted garden friend. You can get a copy of P. Allen Smith's Seasonal Recipes from the Garden by P. Allen Smith and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $4. Today’s Botanic Spark November 13, 1916 On this day, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette shared a sweet little article about the 16th annual chrysanthemum flower show in Washington DC. Now, one of the guards at the show, who had been repeating, "Keep to the right! "Keep to the right!" all morning to the mass of visitors streaming into the greenhouse was interviewed for this article. And he made some fascinating comments about the show, like this one: "If you ever get the idea that people aren't interested in flowers, just give a flower show.” After careless guests damaged some of the specimens, the guard wryly observed, "Sometimes people take entirely too much interest in flowers. If you don't watch them, they will break them off and take them home as souvenirs!" During the early 1900s, chrysanthemum shows were held annually in most large cities throughout the country. Regarding the DC show, the Pittsburgh Post reported: “The question everybody asks, pointing to a big white "Queen Mary" or a small lavender pompon is: Where can I buy seeds of such varieties as this? At the show, over 250 varieties of chrysanthemums were exhibited... The whole greenhouse was a riot of color, with yellow and lavender predominating. Interest in chrysanthemums is increasing every year. National shows have been held every season for the last 16 years, but there has never been such large attendance before." Great post. Wish we could turn back time...

En plena pandemia Willie Nelson ha cumplido 87 años como un ejemplo de supervivencia… y de muchas cosas más. Entre ellas encontramos un romanticismo inherente al arquetipo del cowboy que se refleja en “We Are the Cowboys", uno de los temas clave de su último álbum First Rose of Spring. La canción se debe a su amigo Billy Joe Shaver, que resucitó en 1981 ese espíritu inquieto que busca su próxima aventura y que señalaba a los vaqueros como unos héroes que luchan contra las injusticias cotidianas. Willie ya grabó "We Are the Cowboys" con Shaver, Waylon Jennings y Kris Kristofferson en el álbum Honky Tonk Heroes de 2000, como un remedo de los Highwaymen. Como Willie es incapaz de estar inactivo, lanzará el próximo 15 de septiembre Me and Sister Bobbie: True Tales of the Family Band, un libro de memorias junto a su hermana mayor. Con ella también está trabajando en un libro infantil que se publicará en otoño de 2021 un libro ilustrado, titulado Sister, Brother, Family: Our Childhood in Music. Durante los últimos dos veranos, la serie de televisión Yellowstone, que protagoniza Kevin Costner, nos ha dejado una banda sonora que ha dado cobijo a varios artistas independientes de la música de raíces, atrayendo a nuevos seguidores que no se hubieran fijado en ello, pero que ahora han abierto los oídos a estas propuestas sonoras. El pasado domingo fue el debut de la tercera temporada de Yellowstone y su apuesta musical no difirió mucho de lo que ya habíamos escuchado hace casi un año en el programa. Desde Ryan Bingham, que sigue en el papel de Walker, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, Whitey Morgan, Whiskey Myers (que dieron el salto definitivo gracias a la serie), Blackberry Smoke (los grandes beneficiados de la segunda temporada), The Steel Woods, Turnpike Troubadours o dejan más que claro que una aparición en Yellowstone no es un beneficio hipotético. El tejano Taylor Sheridan, que ya había dejado su sello con Sons of Anarchy y Comanchería, ha sido capaz de dar continuación a una historia que tiene mucho que ver con el Oeste Americano contemporáneo, revitalizando su espíritu, su tradición y su importancia real en el presente. Para comentar la parte cinematográfica de la serie se supone que hay especialistas, pero en cuanto a su música no podemos por menos que estar muy satisfechos con la selección de canciones que el pasado domingo hicieron palpitar a ese primer capítulo. Empezamos recordando que hace 10 años, The SteelDrivers publicaban su segundo álbum, Reckless, con Chris Stapleton aún como miembro de la formación. Unos meses antes, el músico de Kentucky había anunciado que dejaba el grupo para dedicarse a la familia. En 2015 debutó en solitario con Traveller. Curiosamente, “Good Corn Liquor” fue la única canción que en aquel 2010 no compusieron el binomio fundamental de la banda, el que formaron Mike Henderson y Chris Stapleton. Se trata de una canción en la que intervino Ronnie Bowman junto a Stapleton, por entonces el líder de la formación. Bowman fue miembro de la Lonesome River Band junto a Dan Tyminski (después en Union Station), estuvo con Band of Ruhks y ha recorrido la escena del bluegrass como uno de sus pilares fundamentales de su desarrollo. Como álbum, Adobe Sessions supuso un paso más en la credibilidad que Cody Jinks se ha ganado desde su debut. El artista tejano de Fort Worth se mueve en sintonía con artistas como Sturgill Simpson, Jamey Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Ryan Bingham o Whitey Morgan, conectando con una audiencia que entiende a la perfección aquello que les cuenta porque le consideran un outlaw, como ellos mismos. De aquel cuarto registro de su carrera al que dio título el haber sido grabado en una pequeña habitación de adobe del Sonic Ranch en Tornillo, Texas, “Mamma Song” ha sido el tema escogido para formar parte de la banda sonora de ese primer capítulo, un ejemplo evidente de la personalidad artística del músico y del sentido que la cinta tiene en sí misma. Hace cinco años, Colter Wall editó un EP de siete canciones llamado Imaginary Appalachia en el que colaboraron The Dead South, Regina y Belle Plaine. Esta última, cantante y compositora de Fosston, en Saskatchewan, con cerca de 45 habitantes, cantó junto a su paisano en “Caroline”, que ahora Kevin Costner eligió para cerrar musicalmente el primer capítulo de la tercera temporada de Yellowstone, estrenado el pasado fin de semana. Después de haber sido uno de los referentes del folk canadiense, gracias a ese impecable dúo llamado Ian & Sylvia. Gracias a eso y a los royalties por la grabación que Neil Young hizo de su composición "Four Strong Winds", Ian Tyson es propietario del T-Bar-Y, un rancho situado cerca de High River, en la provincia de Alberta. Siendo un veinteañero y convaleciente de sus heridas como jinete de rodeo, Ian Tyson empezó a dedicarse a la música. A comienzos de los 70, tras separarse personal y profesionalmente de Sylvia Fricker se centró en el country, con grabaciones repletas de la imaginería y la mitología de la vida del cowboy como temática fundamental. Su álbum de 1986 Cowboyography es uno de los que mejor lo reflejan, con grandes canciones del estilo de “Rockies Turn Rose”. Si en este siglo XXI queremos seguir moviéndonos en los terrenos de los cowboys, como pretendemos hacer en el programa de hoy, no podemos dejar de lado la figura de Charley Crockett, que ha decidido cancelar todas sus actuaciones previstas hasta nuevo aviso. Tras someterse a una operación a corazón abierto a comienzos del pasado 2019, poco antes de visitarnos en una gira de conciertos inolvidable, no ha querido que ni él, ni su banda, ni sus seguidores puedan estar en peligro por la Covid-19. En un comunicado, el músico de San Benito ha hecho referencia al aumento significativo de infectados, pide disculpas y, sobre todo, pide a la gente que cuide. Por suerte, el último día del próximo mes de julio, Charley Crockett lanzará su nuevo álbum, Welcome To Hard Times, cuyo tema central es un recorrido por los paisajes del Far West, manteniendo el equilibrio entre country clásico, y ciertas pinceladas de spaghetti western. Remitirnos a un veterano como Don Edwards es recobrar el espíritu saludable del lejano Oeste. Creció escuchando la colección de discos de 78 revoluciones de su padre que incluían desde Bach y Mozart a las canciones de cowboys. Se convirtió en un músico autodidacta que se ejercitó en el rodeo y trabajó en un buen número de ranchos de Texas y Nuevo México durante sus años juveniles, influido por los westerns de serie B. En 1964 grabó su primer álbum y desde entonces ha mantenido ese espíritu, siendo dueño, incluso, de uno de los 100 bares más famosos de América, el White Elephant Saloon de Fort Worth. Gracias a Michael Martin Murphey, Don Edwards obtuvo una parte importante del reconocimiento que siempre ha merecido, con varios de sus trabajos guardados en los Archivos Folklóricos de la Librería del Congreso y habiendo recibido el premio Wrangler de la National Cowboy Hall Of Fame por su labor en pro de la música tradicional del Oeste. “The Cowboy’s Song” pertenece a su álbum Songs Of The Trail, siendo muy posiblemente una de las mejores canciones contemporáneas de la más pura tradición de las de vaqueros. La compuso Roy Robison, que trabajaba para la Murray Brothers Land y la Cattle Company de Forth Worth, en Texas. Michael Martin Murphey inauguró su West Fest inspirado por los espectáculos de Buffalo Bill, recorriendo anualmente distintas localidades de los estados de Nuevo México, Colorado y Texas, con la idea de preservar y perpetuar el espíritu del Oeste. En 1990 publicó un trabajo antológico sobre esa herencia musical titulado Cowboy Songs, donde se recogían las viejas canciones que su tío y su abuelo le enseñaron de pequeño en el Sky Ranch de Lewisville, Texas. Al fin y al cabo, es la música de su gente, su tierra, su cultura y su propia vida. En la mitad de 1907, un poema de Badger Clark titulado “A Border Affair” era impreso en el Pacific Monthly. Un cowboy de Arizona llamado Bill Simon le puso música y la canción entró dentro de la tradición oral como “Spanish Is The Lovin’ Tongue” que Michael Martin Murphey revivió de esta forma. Riddy Arman es una mujer nacida en Dixon, una pequeña localidad de poco más de 200 personas del Sanders County, en el estado de Montana, que mantiene el espíritu de los viejos pioneros y de manera muy especial la herencia musical familiar que le inspira canciones como “Spirits, Angels or Lies”, una maqueta grabada una noche del pasado mes de septiembre en Holy Cross, Nueva Orleans. Riddy es habitual del Cowboy Poetry Gathering que cada año desde 1985 se celebra en Elko, Nevada, y donde los ganaderos y cowboys se reúnen para compartir poemas sobre sus vidas y su trabajo. Tessy Lou Williams estuvo casi una década al frente de los Shotgun Stars, pero ha decidido que debía lanzarse en solitario y a pesar de que no parecen ser los mejores momentos, está superando el reto con un disco de título homónimo en el que despliega diferentes tonalidades del country clásico en Willow Creek, una localidad de alrededor de 210 habitantes, también en el estado de Montana, con el respeto a la tradición que le inculcaron sus padres, también músicos. Tras su paso por la tejana Austin ha terminado en Nashville, saltando las barreras de una industria nada respetuosa con las raíces, algo que no ha influido en absoluto de Tessy, que deja muestras de su poderío con temas del calibre de "Someone Lonely", una balada adornada por el Steel guitar de Mike Johnson. Su debut supone uno de los más apasionantes activos del presente de la country music. Bien podríamos decir que otra faceta de los cowboys tiene que ver con aquellos que cabalgan sobre 18 ruedas. Y hoy también es un buen día para recordar a los camioneros, sabiendo, además, que tenemos el privilegio de contar con un buen puñado de ellos como oyentes de TOMA UNO. Pues hoy, en la despedida del programa, queremos celebrar que en esta misma fecha de 1978 se estrenaba la película Convoy, protagonizada por Kris Kristofferson (en el papel de "Rubber Duck") y Ali McGraw (Melissa). Aquella canción había sido un enorme éxito en las listas de country y de pop gracias a C.W. McCall. Esta es la versión adaptada para la película de “Convoy”, que el director de una agencia de publicidad llamado Bill Fries llevó al éxito en 1976, asumiendo la identidad de C.W. McCall y grabando aquella canción escrita junto a Chip Davis en la jerga de las Citizen Band Radios (CB). Estas, introducidas en Estados Unidos en 1958, han sido la forma de comunicación que ha crecido más rápidamente desde que Graham Bell inventó el teléfono. En Junio de 1974, Bill Fries estaba escuchando su CB mientras conducía su jeep. Aquello le inspiró el texto de "Convoy", escrito de tal forma que una persona no familiarizada con la jerga creería que se trata de una lengua no inglesa. "Convoy" llegó al primer lugar de las listas de country en un mes y a las de pop en cinco semanas, vendiendo más de siete millones de copias. Aquel tema sentó las bases para el film del mismo título que protagonizaron Kris Kristofferson y Ali McGraw en el 78. Escuchar audio

Important Events 1694 Today is the birthday of a Fellow of the Royal Society, an avid gardener, and a friend to many scientific leaders in the mid-18th century in the city of London, Peter Collinson. Peter Collinson introduced nearly 200 species of plants to British horticulture - importing many from his friend John Bartram in America. When the American gardener John Custis learned that Collinson was looking for the mountain cowslip (Primula auricula), he happily sent him a sample. Auricula means ear-shaped, and the mountain cowslip is Commonly known as a bear's ear from the shape of its leaves. The cowslip is a spring-flowering plant, and it is native to the mountainous areas of Europe. Custis also sent Collinson a Virginia Bluebell Or Virginia cowslip ( Mertensia virginica). This plant is another Spring Beauty I can be found in Woodlands. The blue about Virginia Bluebell is so striking, and it's an old fashioned favorite for many gardeners. The Virginia Bluebell is also known as lungwort or oyster wort. The plant was believed to have medicinal properties for treating lung disorders, and the leaves taste like oysters. Virginia bluebells bloom alongside daffodils, so you end up with a beautiful yellow and blue combination together in the garden - something highly coveted and absolutely gorgeous. Collinson was not the only gardener in search of Virginia bluebells. Thomas Jefferson grew them at Monticello and loved them so much that they were often referred to as Jefferson's blue funnel flowers. Monticello ("MontiCHELLo”) Collinson once wrote, "Forget not me & my garden." Given Peter’s influence on English gardens, he would be pleased to know that, after all these years, he has not been forgotten. In 2010, the author Andrea Wulf popularized Collinson in the book The Brother Gardeners: A Generation of Gentlemen Naturalists and the Birth of an Obsession- one of my favorite books, by one of my favorite authors. 1786 Today is the birthday of the Danish surgeon and botanist Nathaniel Wallich. Nathaniel served as the Superintendent of East India Company's Botanical Garden in Calcutta, India. Wallich's early work involved writing a Flora of Asia. The palm Wallichia disticha (“wall-IK-ee-uh DIS-tik-uh”) was named in Wallich’s honor. The name of the species - disticha - comes from the Greek “distichos” (“dis” means two and “stichos” means line). Distichos refers to the leaves of this palm, which emerge in two rows on opposite sides of the stem. The Wallinchia disticha is a very special palm, and it is native to the base of the Himalayas. The trunk is quite beautiful because it is covered in a trellis of fiber mat - simply gorgeous. This palm can grow to 30 feet tall, but it is a short-lived palm with a life span of just 15 years. In 1824, Wallich was the first to describe the giant Himalayan Lily (Cardiocrinum giganteum) - the largest species of Lily. It is hardy in USDA Zones 7-9. The giant Himalayan Lily can grow up to 12 feet tall. Once it is finished blooming, the mother Lily bulb dies, but luckily, numerous offsets develop from the parent bulb. This dying off is common among plants that push a bloom many feet into the air. It takes enormous energy to create a towering and flowering stalk. If you decide you’d like to grow giant Himalayan Lilies, (and who wouldn’t?) expect blooms anytime after year four. Today, the Nathaniel Wallich Memorial Lecture takes place every year at the Indian Museum in Kolkata on Foundation Day. Wallich founded the museum in 1814. Wallich is buried in Kensal Green cemetery in London alongside many prominent botanists - like James Edward Smith (a founder of the Linnean Society London), John Claudius Loudon (Scottish writer), Sir James McGrigor (Scottish botanist), Archibald Menzies (surgeon), Robert Brown (discoverer of Brownian motion), and David Don (the Linnaean Society Librarian and 1st Professor of Botany Kings College London). 1859 Today is the anniversary of the death of a Swedish botanist who specialized in algae - Carl Adolph Agardh (“AW-guard”). In 1817, Carl published his masterpiece - a book on the algae of Scandinavia. Carl’s work studying algae was a major endeavor from the time he was a young man until his mid-fifties. At that time, he became the bishop of Karlstad. The position was all-consuming, and Carl put his botanical studies behind him. 1870 Today is the birthday of the physician, naturalist, and civic leader of the south-central Kansas town of Belle Plaine - Dr. Walter E. Bartlett. In 1910, Bartlett started the Bartlett Arboretum By purchasing 15 acres of land on the edge of a town called Belle Plaine - about 20 miles south of Wichita. The property had good soil, and it also had a little creek. One of Bartlett's initial moves was too dam up the creek and create a lake for waterfowl. In the flat expanse of Kansas, Bartlett was tree obsessed. He planted them everywhere - lining walkways, drives, and Riverbanks. Bartlett was all so civic-minded, and he added a baseball diamond complete with a grandstand to the arboretum and a running track and a place for trap shooting as well. After Walter died, the park was managed by his son Glenn who was a landscape architect. Glenn had studied the Gardens at Versailles - noting that they were transformed out of sand dunes and marshes. Back home, the Bartlett Arboretum had similar challenges. Glenn married Margaret Myers, who was an artist, a magazine fashion designer, a floral designer, a Garden Club organizer, and an instructor. Combining their fantastic skillsets, Glenn and Margaret turned the Arboretum into something quite beautiful. Together, they Incorporated tree specimens from all over the world. Using dredged dirt from the lake, they created Islands. At one point, the Bartlett Arboretum was the only Arboretum between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Known for its beautiful spring tradition called Tulip Time, the Arboretum featured a tulip bed with over 40,000 bulbs. In 1997, the Arboretum was sold to Robin Macy. Macy was one of the founding members of the Dixie Chicks, and she is the current steward of the Bartlett Arboretum. Naturally, Robin incorporated music into the Arb. The Facebook Group for the Arboretum recently shared a register page from April 7th, 1929, and across the top of the register, Bartlett had quoted Wordsworth, “He is the happiest who has the power to gather wisdom from a flower.” The folks who tend the flowers and trees at the Bartlett Arboretum make people happy all year long. Unearthed Words Here are some poems about the winter’s cold. (As I read this, it’s 2 degrees in lovely Maple Grove, Minnesota.) The birds are gone, The ground is white, The winds are wild, They chill and bite; The ground is thick with slush and sleet, And I barely feel my feet." It's not the case, though some might wish it so Who from a window watch the blizzard blow White riot through their branches vague and stark, That they keep snug beneath their pelted bark. They take affliction in until it jells To crystal ice between their frozen cells ... — Richard Wilbur, American Poet, Orchard Trees - January Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow. Will the Winter never go? What do beggar children do With no fire to cuddle to, Perhaps with nowhere warm to go? Snow and sleet, and sleet and snow. Hail and ice, and ice and hail, Water frozen in the pail. See the robins, brown and red, They are waiting to be fed. Poor dears, battling in the gale! Hail and ice, and ice and hail. — Katherine Mansfield, New Zealand Poet & Writer, Winter Song Blow, blow, thou winter wind, thou art not so unkind as man's ingratitude. — William Shakespeare, English Poet, Playwright, & Actor The Winter’s cheek flushed as if he had drained Spring, Summer, and Autumn at a draught... — Edward Thomas, British Poet, Essayist & Novelist, "The Manor Farm" Someone painted pictures on my Windowpane last night -- Willow trees with trailing boughs And flowers, frosty white, And lovely crystal butterflies; But when the morning sun Touched them with its golden beams, They vanished one by one. — Helen Bayley Davis, Baltimore Poet, Maryland Federation of Women’s Clubs Poet Laureate, Jack Frost (Written in 1929 and sold to the Christian Science Monitor) Grow That Garden Library Weird Plants by Chris Thorogood Chris is a botanist at Oxford Botanic Garden. The cover of Chris's book is captivating - it shows a very weird plant - it almost looks like a claw - and its grasp is the title of the book weird plants. In this book published by Kew Gardens, Chris shares all of the weird and wacky plants that he's encountered during his travels. There are orchids that look like a female insect, and there are giant pitcher plants as well as other carnivorous plants that take down all kinds of prey. One thing's for certain, the weirdness factor of all of these plants has helped them survive for centuries. Gardeners will get a kick out of the seven categories that Chris uses to organize these strange species: Vampires, Killers, Fraudsters, Jailers, Accomplices, Survivors, and Hitchhikers. Chris's writing is complemented by his incredibly detailed oil paintings and his fascinating range of botanical expertise. As someone who works with student gardeners regularly, I appreciate botanists who are able to make plants interesting - taking topics and subjects that may otherwise prove boring and making them utterly captivating. Chris is that kind of garden communicator. In addition to Weird Plants, Chris is the author of Field Guide to the Wild Flowers of the Western Mediterranean and co-author of Field Guide to the Wild Flowers of the Algarve; bothare published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. You can get a used copy of Weird Plants by Chris Thorogood and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for under $9.

Paul and his family immigrated to the United States in 1906. When Paul took over his father's nursery business located on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood in the early 1920s, the poinsettia(Euphorbia pulcherrima) was a fragile outdoor wild plant. Paul fell in love with the Poinsettia and immediately felt that the plant was a perfect fit for the holiday season because the bloom time occurred naturally during that time. By 1924, Paul was forced out of Hollywood by the movie business, and he brought his family and the nursery to San Diego County. He and his wife Magdalena had four children, and they purchased 40 acres of land in Encinitas("en-sin-EE-tis"). It was here that Paul would turn his passion for Poinsettias into a powerhouse - at one point, his nursery controlled 90% of the Poinsettia market in the United States. At first, Paul raised poinsettias in the fields on the ranch. Each spring, the plants were harvested and then loaded on two railroad cars and sent to Greenhouse Growers all along the east coast. When Paul wasn't growing poinsettias, he was talking poinsettias. He started calling it "The Christmas Flower"; Paul was endlessly marketing poinsettias and praising their attributes as a harbinger of Christmas Initially, Paul worked to decrease the growing time of the Poinsettia. By getting the time to bloom down from 18 months to 8 months, Paul made it possible for the Poinsettia to be grown indoors. After figuring out how to propagate the plant through cuttings indoors, Paul was soon able to ship poinsettias around the world by plane. Paul’s son, Paul Jr., took over the business in the 1960s. He cleverly sent poinsettias to TV shows. When the holiday programs aired, there were the poinsettias - in their glory - decorating the sets and stages of all the major programs. When Paul Junior learned that women's magazines did their photoshoots for the holidays over the summer, he began growing a poinsettia crop that piqued in July. Magazines like Women's Day and Sunset were thrilled to feature the poinsettia in their Christmas magazines alongside Christmas trees and mistletoe. This venture was regarded as the Ecke family's biggest marketing success and made the Poinsettia synonymous with Christmas. And gardeners will be fascinated to learn that the Ecke family was able to distinguish themselves as a superior grower of poinsettias by using a secret technique to keep their plants compact and hardy. Their solution was simple. They grafted two varieties of Poinsettias together, causing every seedling to branch and become bushy. Competitor Poinsettias were leggy and prone to falling open. Not so, with the Ecke Poinsettia. By the 1990s, the Ecke growing secret was out of the bag, and competitors began grafting poinsettias together in order to compete. Today the Ecke family does not grow any poinsettias on their farm in San Diego County. Finally, one of Paul's Poinsettia pet peeves is the commonly-held belief that Poinsettias are poisonous. Sometimes that fear would prevent a pet owner or a young mother from buying the plant. Paul Ecke recognized the threat posed by this false belief. He fought to reveal the truth one interview at a time. It turns out that a 50-pound child would have to eat roughly 500 poinsettia leaves before they would even begin to have a stomach ache. Furthermore, the plant is not dangerous to pets. To prove this point, Paul would regularly eat Poinsettia leaves on camera during interviews over the holiday season. When the Ecke nursery was sold in 2012, it still controlled over half the poinsettia market worldwide. During the holiday season, roughly seventy-five million poinsettia plants are sold - most to women over the age of 40.

A report on all the festive free transit available this holiday season from Nathan Luhning, the manager of business development for Regina's transit department. Then, a very jolly visit from Ol' St Nick. Did I type "jolly"? I meant cranky. And asthmatic. And loud. We're beginning to wonder if maybe that wasn't Santa Claus at all. A hobo maybe? He did bring his own elves. Though, come to think of it, they weren't all that short. And those pointy ears… they might have been slippers on the sides of their heads. So… maybe not elves, either. Fortunately, we did have some legit Christmas tunes from Belle Plaine and the Extroverts. Theme music by Ryan Hill (aka Guidewire). Originally broadcast on 91.3 CJTR, Regina community radio.

Thorson broke his previous school record of 8:17.90 set on February 13, 2015 at the St. Thomas Invitational."Thorson anchors the National winning DMR. Click thumbnail for larger view.National recap here. Quote:"In the men's race, national record holders Amherst established a very solid lead with 800 meters to go on the anchor leg. Behind them, something that would have qualified as "strange" if not for the women's 5k was playing out. Whitewater dropped the baton very early in the race and fell about 150 meters behind. Their anchor leg, Dawson Miller, was running in lane 2 so as to avoid interfering with the actual race. But late in the leaders' leg, Miller ended up with the chase pack about ten meters–in his case, 210 meters–behind Amherst. He appeared to say something to Eau Claire's Josh Thorson, tucked into the rail, and Miller and Thorson actually caught Amherst anchor Greg Turissini. Once the gap was closed, Thorson powered away from the field and beat Amherst by five seconds, 9:54-9:59. La Crosse slipped in for second and the Lord Jeffs grabbed third. (That's much better than their tenth place finish at nationals the last time they set the DMR national record in the regular season) Whitewater was later disqualified for Miller's pacing." Here's what the Eau Claire boys had to say about the whole race:Here's my bootleg video of the 3000 meter race: Thorson 3000 D3 Nationals from Brian Maas on Vimeo.Off this weekend:Lauren Farquhar (Class of '13) - Bethany Lutheran College (MN)Lauren will run outdoor track for the Vikings this spring.
