(Jens Odegaard / Oregon State University) A group of Siletz Indians in Oregon are holding a presentation this Saturday to honor a humpback whale that washed ashore in Lincoln County last fall and died. As KLCC's Brian Bull reports, it is to help non-Natives understand the historical and cultural significance of these mammals. The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) sent a team in mid-November to do a traditional salvage of the whale, a common practice for coastal Native people for centuries. Lisa Norton, CTSI's chief administrative officer, and several others will discuss whales through storytelling, in a welcoming and open space near the Amanda Trail in Yachats. Norton hopes the audience leaves with one main takeaway. “Gaining and understanding of what it meant to us as a people, as individuals. And for those who were already connected with the whale, to understand that connection a little bit deeper or maybe understand that that connection isn’t over. And that it will live on in the stories that we do tell.” Norton says CTSI's cultural and natural resources department will eventually decide what will be done with the whale's bones and other materials. Ḵaayák'w Brandon Gomez introduces the Wind Dancer yaakw and asks permission to come ashore at Auke Recreation Area on June 2, 2026. (Photo: Yvonne Krumrey / KTOO) Thirteen canoes bringing Alaska Native paddlers from across Southeast Alaska and Canada arrived in Juneau, Alaska Tuesday afternoon. The canoes landed in two separate groups — one in downtown Juneau and the other at a traditional Aak’w (AHK) village site, north of town, as KTOO's Yvonne Krumrey reports. Áak'w Kwáan Elder Seikoonie Fran Houston waits on the shore at Auke Recreation Area as yaakw (canoes) enter the bay. “It’s going to be good to see family and family and family and friends, and it’s a beautiful day, so the ancestors are happy also.” Every other June, more than 100 paddlers arrive in Juneau this way to kick off Celebration, a gathering of Alaska Native people celebrating cultural revitalization. Sealaska Heritage Institute started the event more than four decades ago. They come to Celebration the old-fashioned way — paddling yaakw that were carved for this occasion. Some travel from as far north as the Yukon. “My name is Ughąts'etsӓna Ma. I'm Crow Clan. We’re from Dakwäkäda, Haines Junction, Yukon… We’re looking to celebrate now.” Ughąts'etsӓna Ma Cheyenne Sparvier-Kinney introduces her boat to the shore. Later, she reflects on the multi-day journey down Lynn Canal. “The journey was great. It was really a healing journey for a lot of us, not just our boat, but from the experiences that we’ve shared together. Yeah, it’s a healing journey for all of us.” Others, like ShaaL'aanee Brandon Ware, are from as far south as Petersburg. This was the community's first time sending a canoe to Celebration. “Gunalcheesh for having us. We are so grateful to be here. Forgive me if I miss protocol, this is our first journey in over 100 years.” In downtown Juneau, three yaakw make their way to shore as hundreds stand watching. As the yaakw neared, Shangukeidí Casey Moats stands up to greet the crowd. “I had heard that I would never know my language, I’d never belong to a clan, I’d never have a name, I wouldn’t know my songs, and to do this means everything in the whole world.” X'ash Kugé ka Yaanasax Barbara Cadiente-Nelson is a council member and secretary at Douglas Indian Association. She was one of the original planners for the first-ever Celebration in 1982. As she watches the yaakw arrive downtown, she says that for Alaska Native culture to continue to flourish, the next generation has to be grounded in place. “When you take a look around and you see our people of all ages and our youth, we are, yeah, and the young people that are singing and dancing, that they’re connected to place, they’re understanding and growing in their responsibility as Lingít, Haida, Tsimshians.” Celebration officially starts Wednesday, with a Grand Entrance parade into Centennial Hall downtown. Over the coming days, there will be numerous events and ceremonies dedicated to honor and uplift Alaska Native culture.

Nikki Lavery joined us Friday to talk about a new music venue. Centennial Hall is a new kind of gathering space—designed to bring people together around music and art. Located in a historic building in downtown Erie.

Beaconsfield at a Turning PointIn this episode, Scott sits down with Beaconsfield Mayor Martin St. Jean for a wide-ranging conversation about the issues shaping the city right now. They discuss what has happened during the mayor's first hundred days in office, the major infrastructure projects now moving forward, and the difficult balance between adding housing and preserving the character that makes Beaconsfield unique.Mayor Martin St. Jean Reflects on His First 100 DaysMayor St. Jean explains that one of the biggest challenges of his first hundred days has been stepping into a new leadership role after serving as a city councillor. He also highlights the work involved in helping three new council members get up to speed on ongoing files and city priorities. At the same time, he points to a major early accomplishment: awarding the contract for the long-awaited cultural centre in Centennial Park, a project that will now begin moving toward construction.The $22 Million Agglomeration Tax DisputeOne of the biggest topics in the conversation is the ongoing agglomeration tax dispute with the City of Montreal. Mayor St. Jean shares that Beaconsfield has now secured trial dates in early 2028, creating a clear timeline for the next stage of the legal process. He explains that even though Beaconsfield saw a small reduction in its share of agglomeration costs this year, the city still believes it is paying millions more than it should under the original 2008 agreement. As a result, the city has increased its claim from $20 million to $23 million and continues to make its payments under protest.How the City Would Use Recovered FundsIf Beaconsfield is successful in recovering some of those overpayments, the city has not yet decided exactly how the money would be used. Mayor St. Jean says that options could include infrastructure spending, reducing debt, or other community priorities. He stresses that any future decision would benefit from input from council, the finance committee, and residents.Why Resident Input MattersA major theme throughout the episode is the importance of public participation. Mayor St. Jean speaks about the value of Beaconsfield's consultative committees, including finance, traffic, environment, and culture and leisure. He explains that these committees allow residents with expertise and interest to help shape decisions, rather than leaving council to operate in isolation. He also emphasizes that public consultations will continue to play a major role in how the city plans for the future.The New Cultural Centre at Centennial ParkThe mayor provides an update on the new cultural centre, one of Beaconsfield's most significant upcoming projects. Construction is expected to begin in late spring or early summer, with completion targeted for summer 2028. During the build, the city plans to keep the marina operational, while Centennial Hall will remain open and accessible to residents. He also notes that the final site plan will actually increase the amount of green space by merging existing lots and building on land that is already paved.Keeping the Project on BudgetRecognizing that many residents are wary of cost overruns on large public projects, Mayor St. Jean outlines why the city feels confident about the cultural centre budget. He explains that the awarded contract includes contingencies of roughly 10 percent and that the project came in only slightly above earlier estimates. With 12 competitive bids received, the city sees that as a strong sign that the project was designed and priced responsibly.What Could Happen to the Old Library BuildingThe future of the current library building has not yet been decided. Mayor St. Jean says the city has time to evaluate options before the new cultural centre opens. Possibilities include additional administrative space for city operations, community-oriented uses, or a mix of both. He connects that discussion to the city's broader strategic planning process, which will look at Beaconsfield's medium- and long-term needs.Rec Centre Renovation PlansThe conversation also covers the long-awaited renovation of the Rec Centre. Mayor St. Jean explains that the city is preparing for a major overhaul that will include a rebuilt pool area, new change rooms, updated plumbing and electrical systems, and improvements to the arena side as well. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding the structure entirely, the city chose a renovation path that preserves the existing structure while delivering significant upgrades at a much lower cost.Windermere Park RedevelopmentAnother important project on the horizon is Windermere Park. The city has already conducted surveys and community outreach to better understand what local residents want from the space. New concepts are expected to be presented, followed by another round of consultation, before the city moves toward formal plans and tendering. Work there is likely to take shape later than the other major projects, likely beginning in late 2027 or early 2028.The Housing Challenge in BeaconsfieldHousing is one of the most important issues discussed in the episode. Scott and Mayor St. Jean talk about the mismatch between affordability efforts and the lack of housing supply. The mayor acknowledges the real need for more housing options, especially for seniors who want to downsize without leaving Beaconsfield and for younger adults hoping to return to the community where they grew up.Smart Density Without Losing Beaconsfield's CharacterMayor St. Jean makes it clear that Beaconsfield is not looking to follow the path of cities filled with tall condo towers. Instead, the city wants to explore what he calls smart density. That means identifying areas where low-rise, well-integrated housing can fit into the urban fabric without undermining the city's garden character, tree canopy, and predominantly single-family feel. He says the goal is to balance future needs with the qualities that residents already value most.Condo Development Near Elm and the Train StationThe mayor also gives updates on current and potential condo projects. He notes that work is now underway again on the long-delayed development near the train station, which could eventually add 140 to 160 units. He also discusses the Elm Plaza site, where earlier proposals were pulled back and revised. While nothing new has officially been presented recently, he says that area remains one of the places where carefully planned density could make sense.Transit, Traffic, and Housing ValueThe discussion highlights how transit access ties into future development. With new STM bus routes linked to the REM and proximity to the Beaconsfield train station, some of these proposed housing areas may become more attractive because residents could rely less on cars for commuting. Scott notes that this kind of convenience can also support property values when projects are designed well and integrated properly.Accessory Dwelling Units and Basement ApartmentsThe conversation turns to accessory dwelling units and secondary suites, such as detached in-law suites, garage conversions, and basement apartments. Mayor St. Jean explains that Beaconsfield chose to opt out of a provincial measure that would have allowed these more broadly, but says the city has not closed the door on the idea. He believes that any decision on this issue needs to be part of a broader planning and zoning conversation, one that includes public feedback and neighborhood-level considerations.A Push for Safer RoadsTraffic safety is another key issue covered in the episode. Mayor St. Jean explains that the city has requested a red light camera at the Highway 20 and St. Charles intersection, where dangerous left turns onto the eastbound ramp have become a serious concern. The city is also asking the Ministry of Transport to review the wider interchange design, which no longer seems suited to current traffic volumes. While Beaconsfield cannot act alone on these changes, the mayor says it was important to begin pushing for action now.Flooding, Drainage, and Water ManagementThe episode also addresses flooding concerns and the city's response to increasingly intense weather events. Mayor St. Jean describes efforts already underway, including expanding ditch work, asking the agglomeration to improve drainage capacity, and seeking dredging work along Meadowbrook Creek. He also explains how changes in surrounding development and increased hard surfaces have created more runoff that ends up in the drainage system. The city is studying both immediate fixes and longer-term ideas, including sponge park concepts that could help absorb excess water during major storms.A Vision for the Next YearLooking ahead, Mayor St. Jean says he hopes that by this time next year the city will have greater clarity around zoning, density, and the broader planning framework for Beaconsfield's future. He also hopes the city's major infrastructure projects, especially the cultural centre and Rec Centre, will be well underway, on schedule, and on budget.A Call for Residents to Stay InvolvedTo close the episode, Mayor St. Jean encourages residents to stay engaged, attend council meetings, join consultative processes, and reach out to City Hall directly. The conversation ends with a clear message: Beaconsfield is entering an important period of change, and residents have an opportunity to help shape what comes next.

Host Scott Broady sits down with longtime Beaconsfield resident and mayoral candidate Greg Orleski to unpack how the city can evolve without losing what makes it special. The conversation covers growth, fiscal management, transparency at City Hall, densification around transit, and practical ways to fund infrastructure while protecting Beaconsfield's green character and small-town feel.Why Beaconsfield Matters to GregGreg shares why he chose Beaconsfield 25 years ago—nature, fresh air, water access, community spirit, and quality of life—and why those pillars are non-negotiable. His goal is to preserve them while guiding thoughtful, resident-driven change.A Vision for Growth Without Losing Our SoulGreg supports modernizing amenities and creating a vibrant cultural hub near Centennial Park and Lord Reading, while ensuring the park's trees and beach stay intact. He emphasizes projects that enhance community life, keep the village feel, and attract small businesses without turning Beaconsfield into a high-rise city.Fiscal Responsibility and New Revenue PathsWith a primarily residential tax base, Greg outlines a pragmatic approach: optimize city-owned assets like Centennial Hall and the rec center for revenue, aggressively pursue provincial and federal grants with ready-to-execute plans, and use partnerships and shared services with neighboring cities to reduce costs and stretch every dollar further.Transparency, Communication, and TrustGreg argues that communication is the foundation of good governance. He proposes a multi-platform strategy—regular town halls, open Q&As, Zoom sessions, and plain-language updates—so residents understand context before decisions are made. He favors opening caucus discussions to the public whenever legally possible, and clearly explaining any confidentiality limits.Smart Densification, Not High RisesGreg supports low-rise, human-scale housing near transit and key corridors such as St-Charles and Elm. The aim is to create options for right-sizers and young adults who want to stay local, while blending architecture with existing neighborhoods and encouraging mixed-use areas that support walkability and local shops.Safeguards for Development and Lessons LearnedReferencing stalled or problematic projects, Greg stresses early community dialogue, sensible developer conditions, practical and enforceable contracts, and ongoing monitoring. He highlights resilience standards that reflect today's climate realities, so new builds and infrastructure can handle heavier storms and flooding.A Faster, Clearer Path for Homeowners and BuildersGreg wants a permit process that is predictable and time-bound. He suggests clear visual design guides by neighborhood, pre-submission meetings to align before filing, and published review timelines—protecting Beaconsfield's character while reducing costly back-and-forth for residents and contractors.Collaboration That Delivers ResultsDrawing on his nonprofit leadership and coalition-building work in the West Island, Greg explains how shared vision, diverse partners, and grant readiness can unlock ambitious community projects. He believes these same tactics can fund Beaconsfield's recreation upgrades and infrastructure needs sooner, not later.Negotiating the Agglomeration DisputeWith decades of complex litigation experience, Greg favors pursuing negotiated outcomes that bring money back to Beaconsfield earlier—without abandoning the city's claims—so funds can be reinvested into community priorities while avoiding years of uncertainty.Community Engagement Beyond Election SeasonGreg envisions ongoing conversations with residents—online and in person—so participation becomes habitual, not episodic. He wants the city to proactively invite...

Welcome back to the Quarter Portion Podcast, the only Star Wars podcast that prefers to call it "aggressive negotiations!" At Forest City Comicon June 25th, Chris and Amy returned to Centennial Hall for a live panel discussion on Atttack of the Clones. Just as we did with The Phantom Menace three years ago, we examined the legacy of the divisive middle chapter of the Prequels from our initial reactions to our modern perspectives. Has it aged well? How do we perceive it differently after so many other Star Wars stories have buffered it? (Especially the series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which had just finished its first season that week.) How was its reception shaped by The Phantom Menace, The Matrix, and other films of 2002? And did Anakin hold on to his dramatic side when he became Vader?

Smohalla, a Wanapum spiritual leader, developed the Dreamer religion, which was based on the notion that if Native Americans eschewed white culture and lived as their forefathers had, the Creator would reward them by resurrecting deceased Native Americans and removing white people from their territory. In the late 1800's, his teachings quickly spread among the Columbia Plateau peoples. Smohalla gave promise for a restoration of freedom and dignity to tribes that had been decimated by disease, pushed out of their traditional homelands, and generally demoralized by white expansion. Many whites, on the other hand, saw him as a threat, not just to white expansion but also to efforts to "civilize" the Indian Native Americans. He was widely feared and reviled during his lifetime, but a century later he was inducted into Washington's Centennial Hall of Honor as one of the state's 100 most influential persons.Listen now to learn more!Check out the podcast's Facebook page to stay up to date on the show:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastA special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comThank you for listening!

Electropop comes to London, Ontario on a freezing March evening with Liverpool’s Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, or as they are more simply known, OMD. Their set may have been egregiously delayed amid a brutal Ontario winter storm, but OMD more than made up for it, playing a blazing show to a small but dedicated audience who danced right through the whole thing.  London’s own Mettle, featuring former Demics guitarist Rob Brent, also delivered a terrific opening performance.  My special guest, “Special Guests” now in Leeds, UK, will return once again with his memories of the show.  Stay tuned for OMD restaurant waving, happy hoofers, and frozen winklepickers.  Read the original 2010 blog entry here.  NEXT PODCAST:  It was Friday the 13th—in more ways than one. Dear Listeners: Welcome to THE WORST CONCERT EXPERIENCE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!One poster for the show read “…make this your lucky night.” Yeah, right. While Police Picnic ’81 was a fairly sober and orderly experience for me and my compadres, the ’82 edition felt like a sadistic joke that wouldn’t stop.  It was a day of being trolled by the concert gods.The Talking Heads once again completely blew me away and The Police were radically improved from the ’81 edition, but even those silver linings couldn’t make the metaphoric dark clouds pass.  Even the day’s one miraculous positive came with a big negative.It was also my first of many visits to the now long gone CNE Stadium: the 60,000-capcity-for-concerts mega-venue in the heart of Toronto. (I made many visits there between 1982 and 1989, and shows by The Clash, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and The Rolling Stones are all coming up in this series.)Join me in this delightful descent into festival misery and stay tuned for bad drugs, bad sound, obnoxious neighbours, pointless preparations, naive assumptions, swollen bladders, and a nightmare bus ride. (EP 17, no.11) Police Picnic ’82 with The Police, Talking Heads, The (English) Beat, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, A Flock of Seagulls, & The Spoons: What A Day That Was, CNE Stadium, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Friday August 13, 1982 See the original 2010 blog entry here. mylifeinconcert.com

My next podcast jumps ahead 17 months (as I have already covered The Ramones and the Heatwave festival) to August 1981 and the first of three consecutive, annual Police-headlining festivals. It was the second of four consecutive summers where I went to a big open air festival following Heatwave in 1980, and then followed by Police Picnic '82 (concert no. 11) and Police Picnic '83 (concert no.19). It was also my sole live gig for that year.And while free of mind-altered shenanigans that characterized the other fests, this first Police Picnic is long on great music and at least 3 killer sets including one by the original Specials playing one of their last gigs and my finally getting to see Iggy Pop for the first time. Special Guests also attended this festival and kindly stops by once again to share his memories of that day.

Dr. Albrecht Classen teaches TRAD 104: Eroticism & Love in the Middle Ages as one of the large Centennial Hall class offerings. Dr. Classen was going to be out of the country during the second week of classes. So what could he do to cover his class while he was gone? The solution: create a special video to show students during their regular class time. Dr. Classen tell us: "Since we are all also researchers and have to attend conferences and workshops out of town, sometimes we cannot help missing a class. But this new technology proved to be a fantastic opportunity to substitute myself. I have done it already a second time, and will use this video approach several more times during the semester even when I'll be in class so as to change the teaching approach."
