Tune in here to this ​Tuesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking with Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the political chaos and legal battle unfolding in Cabarrus County. A lawsuit was filed challenging the sudden appointment of a new county commissioner without the resignation of commissioner Chris Measmer, who was appointed to a state senate seat. A judge issued a temporary restraining order, halting the swearing-in of the new commissioner due to concerns of “irreparable harm” and possible violations of state law. Brett is joined by Mark Garrison, who highlights how Measmer previously opposed the very maneuver he just pulled. Brett and Mark also discuss Cabarrus GOP leaders in chair Lanny Lancaster and vice chair Jim Quick, who have been accused of manipulating the process and retaliating against fellow Republicans who oppose their selection to the commission. The situation has left the county commission under scrutiny, with residents demanding transparency and open government. A follow-up hearing will be held within 10 days. Jensen also is also joined by WBTV Reporter David Hodges to discuss how the long-standing internal battles within the Cabarrus County Republican Party have led to the current controversy. The tension traces back to disputes involving former commissioner Steve Morris, who lost his seat following a lengthy SBI investigation that was later dismissed. The two the discuss the issues facing locals in counties surrounding Mecklenburg that have divided many of the same political party.

Tune in here to this ​Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking with Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the chaotic political situation in Cabarrus County, and a new bill aimed at addressing North Carolina’s teacher shortage. Jensen begins by diving into the controversy surrounding Cabarrus County Board Chair Chris Measmer, who is accused of manipulating board rules to ensure his allies remain in control after his appointment to the state Senate. Despite not officially resigning, Measmer’s decision to vote for his own replacement has sparked outrage and is expected to lead to legal challenges. Later, Jensen discusses House Bill 806 with state representatives David Willis and Heather Rhyne. This bill aims to combat the teacher shortage by allowing schools to hire individuals with four-year degrees in specific subjects, even if they don’t have teaching certification. This bill is seen as a potential solution to the staffing crisis, providing higher pay than substitutes but lower than certified teachers. Lastly, Jensen shifts focus to crime statistics in Mecklenburg County, sharing insights from CMPD's press conference on first-quarter 2025 data. The report reveals a decrease in overall crime, with violent crime down by 17% and property crime reduced by 4%. The department also highlights successful initiatives, including targeted operations to reduce dangerous driving and a significant drop in violent crime in key areas of the city.

"Arriver à Port-Cros, c'était sans doute pour ma grand-mère une manière de rompre avec tous les codes de son milieu, la haute bourgeoisie, d'être au naturel dans des relations humaines simples, et dans cet émerveillement de la nature qui était déjà très préservée."François est l'un des petits enfants de Paule Desmarais qui acheta l'île de Port Cros aux enchères en 1937. Il partage son temps entre la Suisse et Port Man, non loin de La Palud domaine que se partagent ses 3 soeurs à Port Cros. J'invite les auditeurs à écouter ou réécouter le témoignage de Laurence,  sa sœur, qui y vit à l'année. Sa famille est l'une des deux dernières familles propriétaires qui possèdent un domaine privé sur Port-Cros avec la famille Buffet. Les histoires de leurs familles respectives sont d'ailleurs étroitement liés. Sa grand-mère Paule Desmarais, héritière des savonneries et pétrole Desmarais, découvre Port- Cros en 1934 à bord du voilier de son beau frère.

Throughout my career I was trained federally and locally as a Peer Support Officer, and I am currently certified as a North Carolina Certified Peer Support Specialist. I have also received certification in Crisis Incident Stress Management (CISM) through International Critical Incident Stress Foundation Inc. (ICISF) in Suicide Prevention, Intervention and Postvention & Assisting Individuals in Crisis & Group Crisis Intervention.

What makes us love those SCARY stories? The ones that send chills down our spines? The ones that defy explanation and make us think twice about turning off the lights? It's hard to pinpoint exactly why we're such suckers for a scary tale, but this much is certain: In places with a rich history, there are plenty of them around.   Such is the case right here in Cabarrus County. On this episode of Did Y'all Hear, we're celebrating the spooky and touring the county with some of our favorite neighborhood storytellers: Vickey Cline and Carolyn Carpenter.   NOTE: If you're listening at home, lock the doors, dim the lights and grab the sage … we're going on a ghost hunt.

And that endearing humility and humor are reasons #4,000 and 4,001 why you'll love her so. On this episode of "Date Night with Jake and Page" Michelle joins your hosts to discuss her THIRD BOOK, "8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success." They discuss the reframing of the word, "failure," which middle school archetype each person was in middle school (and how to correctly pronounce the word, "archetype"), and Michelle calls Jake out on thinking he was dating Kate Hudson (spoiler-alert: he wasn't).

Building relationships with patients can be one of the most rewarding parts of owning a healthcare practice. (Or, for veterinarians, also building relationships with the patients' owners...) What happens when you decide you want to expand your practice into multiple locations? Will you still have the time to dedicate to connecting with patients? How will you foster the kind of culture you want in your new locations? Dr. Mike Robinson, VMD has learned the answers to these questions and more on his road to becoming the owner of multiple animal hospitals in North Carolina. He began working as an associate at Cabarrus animal hospital in North Carolina in 2011, and a few short years later, he found himself in a position to purchase the hospital. Then in 2019, he opened a startup clinic in Harrisburg and in 2022 bought a third clinic in the same area. He's currently in the process of completing a ground-up construction project which will be the future home of both Harrisburg hospitals. In this episode, we'll ask him: How to know when it's time to open a second location? What challenges can doctors expect when deciding to expand? How is managing multiple hospitals different from managing just one? How do you maintain a company culture across multiple locations? How to structure your workforce to thrive in different locations? Are you ready to take the next step in scaling up your hospital ownership dreams? Visit getprovide.com.

This year school board elections are getting a lot of attention from voters across the country. Issues such as dirty books, COVID shots and transgender policy are motivating factors.  Over the weekend, Mark Garrison spent time in Cabarrus County where voters are lining up to cast an early ballot.

We discuss her experience with her daughter and how she has learned to parent each of her children according to their needs.

« Toute ma vie depuis adolescente, quand je rencontrais un homme, il fallait que je l'amène ici pour voir sa réaction. Je ne pouvais pas imaginer vivre avec quelqu'un qui n'aime pas ou ne supporte pas Port-Cros. Ça a toujours et le premier test […] Vivre seule à la Palud, je ne pourrai pas. C'est forcément une histoire à deux. » Laurence est l'une des petites filles de Paule Desmarais qui acheta l'île de Port Cros aux enchères en 1937. Elle vit sur l'île à l'année, à la Palud, domaine qu'elle partage avec ses 2 autres sœurs. Sa famille est l'une des deux dernières familles propriétaires qui possèdent un domaine privé sur Port-Cros avec la famille Buffet dont les histoires sont d'ailleurs étroitement liées. Sa grand-mère Paule Desmarais, héritière des savonneries et pétrole Desmarais, découvre Port- Cros en 1934. Immédiatement elle souhaite y revenir et séjourne dans un premier temps à l'Hostellerie provençale. Elle revient régulièrement l'été, à Noël et à Pâques… Elle y fait la connaissance de Marcel et Marceline Henry. En 1936, les Henry se rapprochent d'elle et ils s'entendent pour que Mme Desmarais acquiert l'île alors en vente aux enchères, qu'ils restent gestionnaires du domaine, et que Mme Desmarais leur en rétrocède une partie. Dès le départ, il est question d'acquérir l'île pour la préserver, des pressions immobilières notamment. Les relations avec les Henry se compliquent ensuite et s'ensuivront des années de procédures. Les liens s'apaiseront quand Pierre Buffet, actuel propriétaire du Manoir prendra la succession des Henry en 1966. Avec Laurence, on a parlé de son histoire familiale, de ses vacances enfant à Port-Man avec sa grand-mère, d'une île de femmes, du test redoutable, d'amour et de transmission.L'article complet et toutes les notes et références citées dans l'épisode sont à retrouver sur https://fragileporquerolles.com/laurence-delmas-de-cabarrus/

Un livre, Un lecteur, émission présentée par Florence Berthout qui reçoit Laurence de Cabarrus qui parlera de l'ouvrage de Royko Sekigushi « 961 heures à Beyrouth (et 321 plats qui les accompagnent) » publié chez POL À propos du livre : « 961 heures à Beyrouth (et 321 plats qui les accompagnent)» paru aux éditions POL Je suis restée à Beyrouth presque un mois et demi, du 7 avril au 15 mai 2018, 961 heures au total. Je voulais réaliser le portrait de la ville à travers la cuisine : les gestes de ceux qui la font, les histoires racontées par les Beyrouthins... La cuisine est le seul outil que je possède pour me rapprocher d'une ville. Tant qu'il y aura des gens pour la préparer, dans leur pays ou en terre d'exil, pour prendre des forces. Pour une table idéale. Laurence de Cabarrus aime cuisiner pour sa famille. Depuis qu'elle s'est abonnée à une AMAP*, elle reçoit chaque semaine des légumes bio cultivés localement et s'est lancée un défi : les faire aimer par ses enfants. Prise au jeu, elle a multiplié les essais et créé de nombreuses recettes originales.
