When Jeff Cantrell uprooted his family and relocated for a city manager job in central Kansas, he never dreamed it would all come to an end two short years later. He was leaving Chanute (pop. 10,000), a Southeast Kansas town, for Hutchinson (pop. of 40,000) and replacing a well-respected manager who was retiring after holding the seat for 17 years.  It seemed like a no-brainer next step in the progression of Jeff's career. In this interview, we talk about how his poorly constructed contract allowed him to get blindsided by his separation. And we talk about how it is difficult to jump back on the horse and find a new gig when you have a child in high school. EPISODE SPONSOR: This episode is sponsored by Holbrook Asphalt.

Octagon City was an attempt at establishing a vegetarian Utopia on the plains of Kansas in the mid 1850s. The Reformers of the Day were out to change the world through Phrenology, avoiding the evils of liquor, coffee and tea, limiting the spread of slavery and improving their life through a meat-less diet. A little spot on the banks of the Neosho River was chosen. The vegetarian emigrants also believed the Octagon to be the best design for a family home and the entire community was based on that shape. One hundred  brave souls arrived in Kansas in the Spring of 1856 to make their new start, until... SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTIST! Check out all we have to offer at withinpodcast.com!

Quaker Worship, Nature, and Hunting The episode introduces Timothy Tarkelly, a Quaker in Chanute, Kansas with a deep love for nature. Tarkelly draws parallels between the stillness of Quaker worship and his experiences in the outdoors, emphasizing the power of silence and anticipation in both settings. He wrote the Friends Journal article, Allowable Diversions: A Friend Explores the Morality of Hunting.  Timothy published several books of poetry including On Slip Rigs and Spiritual Growth (OAC Books), Objects We Know We Don't Deserve: Poems on Dutch Art (Alien Buddha Press), and Gently in Manner, Strongly in Deed: Poems on Eisenhower (Spartan Press). He recently collaborated with Elena Samarsky, a Ukrainian visual artist, on a work of paintings and poems entitled All Other Forms of Expression. When he's not writing, he teaches English and Debate to students who, according to Timothy, are far more talented and interesting than he is. You can find Timothy's squirrel quiche recipe below.  Follow Timothy on Twitter/X and Instagram. LGBTQ Identity and Quakerism Erin Wilson's story shines a light on LGBTQ inclusion within Quakerism. She demonstrates how questioning and embracing equality are integral to both her Quaker faith and her journey of self-discovery. Wilson's tale underscores the significance of creating space for diverse identities within the community. You can see Erin Wilson's QuakerSpeak video and other QuakerSpeak videos at the QuakerSpeak YouTube Channel or at QuakerSpeak.com.  Navigating Christianity and Quakerism Mark Russ' reflections on the intersection of Christianity and Quakerism offer insights into the complexities of his faith. Russ, who lives in Birmingham, United Kingdom, candidly shares his experience as a Christian within the Quaker community in the UK, exploring the struggle of reconciling his identity with the broader Quaker ethos. His queerness adds another layer to his journey of embracing his Christianity which he explores in his book Quaker-Shaped Christianity, How the Jesus Story and the Quaker Way Fit Together. Read William Shetter's review of Quaker Shaped Christianity on Friends Journal online.  Mark Russ is a writer, theologian and teacher. Since 2013 Mark has written useful, Quaker-shaped Christian theology on his blog jollyquaker.com. From 2015 to 2022 he was a member of the Learning and Research Team at The Woodbrooke Centre, an international Quaker learning and research organization based in Britain. Before retraining as a theologian, Mark enjoyed a successful decade as a music teacher in London, and spent a year visiting and living in various faith-based intentional communities in the UK and USA. He is currently a full time PhD student at the University of Nottingham, researching liberal Quaker theology and whiteness. He lives with his husband in Birmingham, England.

You heard Noche de Sueños by Lawd Ito, Against a Paler Sky by Hushed, Es Solo by Mimmi Bangoura, Keep Together by Indigo Days, Could Have Been Us, by Blue Topaz Timothy Tarkelly's Squirrel Quiche Recipe Squirrel Quiche is a two-part process. Before you can make the quiche, you need to cook the squirrel. I developed this recipe on my own. Once you get it down, you can use the meat to make a variety of dishes: quiche, pizza, bbq sliders, soup, tacos, etc. Slow Cooked Squirrel Ingredients: 1-2 Squirrels, skinned and gutted As many cloves of garlic as you can handle 1 tbsp each of salt, pepper, and oregano Half an onion 1 peeled lemon (helps with gamey flavor - can also use lime, vinegar, or some other source of acid) 1 can of beer (I use NA Busch, as I don't drink alcohol) 6 cups of water  4 bullion cubes Steps: In a crockpot, place the squirrels in the crockpot. Add all other ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours (fox squirrels tend to take longer than gray squirrels). Remove squirrels and place in a large bowl. Let the squirrels cool until you can touch them without burning your hands. Carefully remove the meat from the bones. Arms, legs, and back strap are the easiest and most enjoyable pieces, the rib, belly, and spine meat is much more difficult to get, is more stringy, and is optional. However, I always go for it.  Discard bones and remove any bbs from the meat if you find any (only a problem if you hunt with a shotgun). This meat can be used in a variety of dishes. Squirrel Quiche Ingredients: 3-4 strips of bacon A cup of diced green onions 1 diced serrano or 1 small jalapeno Salt & Pepper Tony Chachare's creole seasoning (or your own cajun blend of salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and garlic powder). 1.5 cups of shredded cheese 6 eggs Pre-made pie crust Steps: Preheat oven at 375 In a skillet, cook the bacon until desired crispiness (mine is basically burnt) and crumble into small pieces.  Put the pie crust in a nine-inch pie pan (it helps to let the crust warm up on the counter for 20-30 minutes beforehand. Add the bacon, green onions, squirrel, serrano, and 1 cup of cheese into the pan. In a separate bowl, beat the six eggs until smooth and consistent. Pour the eggs over all of the ingredients in the pie pan. Add the remaining cheese on top. Place in the oven for 40 minutes.  Let cool, slice, and then serve.

Hoidale:https://www.hoidale.com/Twitter ProfileLinkedIn ProfileSteve Dixon is the President and CEO of P.B. Hoidale, a company founded by his Great Grandfather over  seventy-five years ago. Hoidale is a regional company headquartered in Wichita with locations  throughout Kansas and Oklahoma. While being best known for building and servicing retail fueling  locations across the region, Hoidale is involved with projects relating to the storage, pumping,  measuring, and dispensing of fluids for a wide variety of customers. Peter Bernard Hoidale founded the company that bears his name in 1946. Starting from a small office in  Wichita, Kansas, selling fuel storage tanks and pumping units, the company had its first geographic  expansion in the mid-1970s. This expansion came in the form of branch offices in Garden City and  Chanute, Kansas. As the company continued to grow through the '70s and early '80s, they added  additional product lines to complement their fuel equipment business, such as air compressors and  lubrication equipment. By the mid-'80s, Hoidale had expanded into Oklahoma, opening offices in  Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 1990s brought about another expansion of their business into electronic tank monitoring and point of-sale systems. These new POS systems were designed to provide their customers with more accurate  information about how their businesses are performing. The mid 90's also saw the opening of their  Kansas City branch office. Since the turn of the new century, they have again expanded their product  lines to better meet the existing, as well as future, customer demand for heavy-duty lift equipment, and  automated lubrication systems. They will continue to expand both their product lines as well as their  geographic reach to better serve their customer base as it grows in new and exciting directions.Join the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce! This podcast is brought to you by the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce.  To send feedback on this show and/or send suggestions for future guests or topics please e-mail communications@wichitachamber.org. This show is part of the ICT Podcast Network.  For more information visit ictpod.net

We tend to think "bigger is better" when it comes to deals and sales. That's not always the case. There's something to be said when you're a "big fish in a small pond" and you can absolutely crush it, depending on what sales industry you're in. I had the great opportunity to sit down with Sara Hegwald, who's a Sales Account Manager in small town Chanute, Kansas. Sara sells better than most in major markets when it comes to radio and digital marketing, and her ability to create opportunity in a small market is something we can ALL learn from. In this episode you will learn: How to be a successful salesperson in a smaller market. What it's like to go door to door in the B2B sales world. How "small market" doesn't mean smaller sales opportunities. If you're looking for a GREAT salesperson to connect with, who's always down for great conversation, follow Sara on LinkedIn and check out the company she works for below. Follow Sara on LinkedIn here. Need Radio?

On this episode of Ancient Kisstory, we're looking at the first ever Hometown Dates in Bachelor history. It's an opportunity to reflect on the institutions which run deep throughout the franchise's DNA - Christianity, the city of Dallas, and of course, suffering. It's a little bizarre to see Hometown Dates without the usual cookie-cutter drama: so instead of manufactured 'over-protective dad' tropes, we get naturalistic glimpses of America in 2002 (which just happens to include a few over-protective dads). Plus... a room full of corpses.

In today's episode, we spoke with Armando Hernandez of Chanute. He's challenging Rep. Kent Thompson of LaHarpe for his seat in the Kansas House's 9th District, which includes Iola, Humboldt and Chanute. The Republican primary is August 4, but you can cast your ballot now—advanced voting has already begun.

In his words, Republicans and Democrats “can work together. We always have.”

In this episode, Jayden and Xander discuss Chanute's girls' great season and their boys' bad season. They also talk about the Super Bowl, NBA Trade Deadline, Kobe Bryant, and much more.

Someone, anyone, please tell me why Party in the U.S.A. is stuck in my head. I don’t own that song, but I believe the reason for this is the fact I live in a house with three females and one of them might actually own one of the NOW music CDs. I actually own NOW, when there wasn’t a volume. NOW, Volume 1, which is not its real name, had some rock on it. It also had some sappy late 90s R&B that I fell out of favor with once I discovered how badass Phil Anselmo and Pantera was. Walk on home, boy. This is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the scores and news from the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant. So far, this will be 14 straight episodes. There likely won’t be one on Friday night, since I’ll be covering the Gopher dual and putting out an episode of The Guillotine Grapevine. Maybe I’ll record it on Saturday morning for you guys as you make the last mow of the season, or in some cases, the first snow shovel of the year worth it.  Dual Meets:  Unranked Illinois, fresh off getting beat by Army West Point last weekend, rebounded with a 19-14 win over border rival and 13th ranked Missouri at Francis Howell High School in St. Louis on Thursday night. Missouri did have the services of All-American Grant Leeth at 141, but were without Dylan Wisman at 184. Illinois had key wins at 125 as Justin Cardani beat Dack Punke and then three in a row from 165-184 to take the lead heading into the dual’s final two weights. Freshman heavyweight Luke Luffman prevailed 9-7 over Rodrigo Diaz to give Illinois the upset. Division II Colorado School of Mines shut down Northeastern Junior College 34-9. Also out in Colorado, Western Colorado beat Chadron State 28-13 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.  Elmhurst beat the University of Chicago 33-19 as the Bluejays benefited from three Chicago forfeits. Maroons All-Americans Steve Bonsall and Ben Sarasin were both victorious.  A couple of junior colleges picked up wins over Division III foes - Mercyhurst North East topped Pitt-Bradford 31-18, while Joliet Junior College beat MacMurray 36-18. Lincoln, which is in its first year as an NAIA member after transitioning from a two-year school to a four-year one, also beat MacMurray 34-18. In Georgia, Brewton-Parker, with a hyphen, knocked off Truett McConnell, sans hyphen, 38-12.  Nothing reported from CSU-Pueblo and Otero, Central Baptist and Oklahoma Wesleyan or the two duals out west in the California Community Colleges.  Late Wednesday: Neosho County and head coach Nick Nothern knocked off rival Labette 26-16 in Chanute. That’s action in the NJCAA in case you were wondering. The Panthers swept six bouts between 149 and 197 to take the dual.  GET A FREE MONTH OF PODCAST HOSTING WITH LIBSYN There are approximately 63 active wrestling podcasts out there, with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

Notables on the Docket for November 15: Super solid Friday night for wrestling: No. 3 Ohio State heads to Pittsburgh to take on the No. 15 Panthers, No. 4 Oklahoma State will have its first dual of the season as it heads to Philly to take on Drexel. No. 6 Minnesota hosts Rider at Williams Arena, I’ll be there for that one, as will BDI. No. 8 Arizona State opens its home slate against Division II Augustana (S.D.), No. 9 NC State hosts Old Dominion, which was ranked last week and fell out of the rankings despite not losing. Same thing happened to Wyoming. Binghamton faces South Dakota State in Sioux Falls, Bucknell heads to Northern Illinois, Division II Simon Fraser faces Oregon State in Tahoma, Washington and Rutgers heads to Fresno State where the Bulldogs are trying to break their own attendance record, looking for 10,000 fans in the SaveMart Center.  Notable matches from other divisions include Ithaca traveling to Stevens Institute, Manchester at Wabash, more news on them in a second, Campbellsville and the first-year program at Arizona Christian facing Embry-Riddle - not at same time, that would be unfair and there’s a doubleheader with the men’s and women’s programs with Southern Oregon going to Portland to face Warner Pacific. Tournament-wise, the Roger Williams Invitational kicks off in Bristol, Rhode Island.  FROM THE DWN: Minnesota profiles senior Carson Brolsma with the now overused Q&A segment called Seven Minutes. The Open Mat actually started that, then Trackwrestling adopted it after TOM stopped doing it. And now we have it in Minnesota. It’s like every column in every wrestling magazine being called The Inside Trip - with apologies to Brando and B-Law with The Inside Trip podcast. End snarky note.  The week will continue with posts from the early signing period. Some schools went all out on day one, while others are trickling out their early classes. While not directly linked in this section, Thursday’s releases are in the newsletter.  We’ve got a new No. 1 in Division III wrestling, mainly because the rankings in the early season released by the Division III Coaches Association are on tournament points. Loras, the preseason No. 1, didn’t lose, but slid one spot to No. 2. This is why tournament rankings are absolute crap UNTIL the postseason. Next week’s rankings, as the release says, will be dual strength. I’d have just held off the team rankings this week, since there was plenty of movement in the individual rankings. Oh, that new No. 1, by the way, the Little Giants of Wabash.  Missouri’s sports information office features alum and UFC fighter Tyron Woodley, while Penn State has an in-house feature on Creighton Edsell, an unlikely small town starter who came up with a win in last week’s dual against Navy.  Flowrestling looks at Fresno State’s drive to break its attendance record and eclipse the 10,000-fan mark in their upcoming dual against Rutgers.  The Predicament goes into the Where Are They Now with the Inside the Rivalry series. Well, where are they now and what are they all doing?  Mason Beckman makes a guest appearance with a preview of the Bill Farrell Memorial on the Home Mat Advantage at 74kg.  TheMat.com gives us the full U.S.-centric Bill Farrell preview as well.  Flowrestling borrows Tim Hands of Five Point Move for their extensive Greco-Roman preview, not paywalled.  Patch.com, a collection of like 1,200 hyperlocal news websites, features Penn State wrestling alum Rohan Murphy and his message to inmates at Suffolk County Correctional Facility. Rohan is an amazing dude. Born with no legs, he’s got a great message to share about perseverance.  The Southern Illinoisan, yes, that is the actual name of the newspaper, featured Carbondale Community High School coach Dennis Ragan and his recent induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame via the Illinois chapter. If that name and location lead you to connect some dots - la la la la - then you’re right. It’s Alli’s dad.  And the biggest Bud heavy advocate in wrestling, Willie Saylor, drops an interview on his MatScouts Rokfin channel that Blair Academy’s Travis Mastrogiovanni, the No. 4 recruit in the Class of 2021 is heading to Oklahoma State, where his brother Trevor has also committed.  On The Network With a big weekend upcoming, the #PackMentality Pop-Ins Podcast with host Brian Reinhardt talks with NC State head wrestling coach Pat Popolizio, as well as Jakob Camacho, Tariq Wilson and Hayden Hidlay. Thye host ODU on Friday, the Wolfpack Duals on Saturday and the Wolfpack Wrestling Club Open on Sunday.  PA Power’s college podcast is up and out with Iowa’s Michael Kemerer and a recap of the PA-centric college scores from last week while Five Point Move talks with Jon Anderson of the Army’s World Class Athlete Program, who makes his return to competition at this weekend’s Bill Farrell. Also, Dennis Hall had numerous F-bombs edited out of the show. Dennis gets fired up.  You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

We are back and chocked full of laughs and food. This week we start out in Wichita Kansas where David takes us to a great Mexican place for breakfast, Lina's Mexican Restaurant. His friend Josh Krause convinces him to order the "Krause" and you should too. After a stop in Thayer, KS and the "Unstable" Bar David heads over to Chanute, KS for some more Mexican faire at El Pueblito Mexican Restaurant. Andy then takes us into the mountains of Charleston, West Virginia where he enjoyed some great Chicken and Waffles at Black Sheep Burrito. Then as he headed home he went out of his way to enjoy some of the best ribs ever at The Galax Smokehouse in Galax, VA. We talk about how David is too tall to hang and Andy shares a story about an audience member who gets mad at him because he doesn't drink. Ahh drunkards, they're idiots. Enjoy!

Matt Oliver decided to take a chance on a Division II college after he won a New Jersey high school state wrestling championship. When Oliver's career ended as a Division II All-American for Newberry College, he pondered what was next. Enter a call from an old Newberry teammate luring him away from the Boardwalk on the New Jersey Shore to the flat lands of Chanute, Kansas. Then came another opportunity, a chance to lead a program as a head coach. On Episode 161 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll visit with Oliver, the new head coach at Spartanburg Methodist College, a junior college in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Oliver takes over for the 12-year-old program after spending two years as an assistant at Neosho County Community College. Oliver will break down the choice to compete in Division II, cutting his teeth in coaching at Neosho and what really is the correct answer when it comes to the age-old question of whether it's pop or soda. It's an entertaining interview with Oliver.

Imagine there was no Google Fiber in Kansas City! The Kansas state legislature is poised to not only prohibit municipalities from owning broadband networks, it will prevent even private companies and nonprofits from delivering faster, better Internet access (sign this petition to kill the bill). This bill effectively can block Google or any other competitor to existing incumbents from serving most of the state. Chanute, KS City Finance Director Rebecca Wood joins us to describe a development that threatens other states as well. AT&T and Cable ONE wouldn't deliver the broadband Chanute needed, so the city built its own. But an ALEC-inspired draconian bill introduced this week threatens to destroy communities' home rule, and the ability to invest in their own citizens. Wood discusses how this bill will kill Kansas towns' hopes to replicate Chanute's successes in economic development, advanced healthcare, education and government service delivery. Given how ALEC operates, it is likely that this bill's passing would lead to similar legislation in other states. Listeners get valuable advice on how they can join with Chanute and various organizations in the state to kill Bill 304.
