Send us a text message and share your thoughts!To kick off the first episode in Season 5 of Cow-Side Conversations, Paul Mason of Mason's Chrome View in Chester County, Pennsylvania shares how the details add up on his 500-cow family dairy operation. From unique ways they keep employees engaged with production goals and understanding the “why” behind what they do to calf-raising protocols that have paid dividends, Paul reflects on all the little details and management decisions that are part of dairy farming – and how he finds balance between being content but never satisfied. He shares some of the new technology he has implemented on the cropping side with variable rate application, precision planting and zone sampling to optimize their acreage with the future in mind. Paul also opens up about how he has used grants to jumpstart capital investments on his farm and build buffer into the dairy business.

In September of 2022 before leaving office, then Gov. Tom Wolf announced the creation of three new state parks. Susquehanna Riverlands in York County, Big Elk Creek in Chester County and Vosburg Neck in Wyoming County. While these new state parks were quickly opened following the announcement, they have not taken their final form. Before they can be completed – or really before they even start – these parks must go through a rigorous master planning process with numerous phases. There's the planning phase, the design phase, the engineering phase and the construction phase. But in between those phases and additional processes, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources must seek public input, hold public forums and receive feedback from various stakeholders. The opening of the state parks to the public was the easy part. But, now's the hard part. The amount of questions that must be answered and properly addressed can be stagging. Our season finale is meant to let listeners know when the various phases will be complete, what sort of activities and camping options will be available and what the future holds for our three newest parks. And for this large task I wanted to go straight to the source. On this episode, I speak with John Hallas.

Ellen Greenberg's Stabbing Death: Why Justice Remains Elusive The death of Ellen Greenberg, a twenty-seven-year-old teacher who was found stabbed to death in her Philadelphia apartment, remains one of the most puzzling and controversial cases in recent memory. Ellen's body was discovered on the kitchen floor, bearing twenty stab wounds, with ten of those injuries located on the back of her neck. The scene alone suggested a violent and horrifying end, one that appeared to be a clear-cut case of homicide. However, initial appearances quickly gave way to a series of shocking and contradictory developments. The Philadelphia medical examiner's office first ruled Ellen's death a homicide but later changed the ruling to suicide. The shift was met with disbelief from her family and forensic experts, many of whom have questioned how a person could inflict such extensive injuries on themselves. Ellen's parents have been fighting to have the cause of death officially re-examined, arguing that the medical evidence does not support a suicide ruling. In their pursuit of justice, Ellen's family has engaged forensic specialists and legal advocates. In 2022, her family's legal team presented arguments emphasizing the physical impossibility of Ellen inflicting such wounds on herself. “The medical evidence simply doesn't support the idea that Ellen could have done this to herself,” they said, highlighting the severe injuries and their locations. They continue to call for a change in the classification of her death. Amid growing public scrutiny, the case was transferred to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office in 2018. Investigators hoped that fresh eyes on the evidence would yield new insights. Yet, in 2022, the case was passed again, this time to Chester County Detectives. Each agency reviewed the evidence meticulously but ultimately concluded that there wasn't enough proof to pursue criminal charges. Chester County officials explained that the legal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt” had not been met, a reality that leaves the case at a frustrating standstill. "Based on the current state of evidence, we found we couldn't prove a crime was committed beyond a reasonable doubt," the Chester County District Attorney's Office stated. The office emphasized that while the investigation has been placed in inactive status, it remains open to the possibility of new evidence emerging. “This standard of proof—beyond a reasonable doubt—makes the criminal investigation different than other legal cases or issues that surround Ms. Greenberg's death,” their statement read. Yet, this decision has only deepened the anguish of Ellen's loved ones. Her parents remain steadfast in their belief that the truth about their daughter's death will one day come to light. “We will never stop fighting for Ellen,” they said. Despite this setback, they are comforted by the fact that Pennsylvania law has no statute of limitations for criminal homicide, meaning that the case, while inactive, is not closed. For now, the haunting questions surrounding Ellen Greenberg's death remain unanswered. The lack of closure continues to fuel speculation and skepticism, while her family and supporters hold on to hope that one day, justice will prevail. #EllenGreenberg #UnsolvedMystery #TrueCrime #JusticeForEllen #Philadelphia #ColdCase #ForensicInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

When a Chester County wife, mother, and grandmother went missing, a series of events started to unravel. What started as a kind soul helping others turned tragic.

“C” is for Chester County (581 square miles; 2020 population 32,294). Named for Chester County, Pennsylvania, Chester was one of seven counties created in 1785 from the old Camden Judicial District.

Elections officials in Lancaster and York counties have identified a large number of improperly filled-out voter registration forms.  Election day is just five days away, but unofficial results likely won't be known for a day or two. That's because Pennsylvania voters can cast ballots early, but elections officials can't start processing them until Election Day. Third-party presidential candidate Cornel West has lost a Supreme Court bid to be included on the presidential ballot in Pennsylvania.  The national and state Republican parties are appealing a state court ruling that would relax the rules for mail ballots.   An elaborate display in a Westmoreland County community's Halloween parade is drawing harsh criticism. It happened in Mount Pleasant Borough and appeared to depict Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in chains, being led by a vehicle. Elon Musk and his super PAC promised Pennsylvania voters 100 dollars if they signed a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. A Chester County man says he has yet to be paid.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vice President Kamala Harris is urging Republican voters in Pennsylvania and across the nation to put “country first” and abandon former President Donald Trump.  Some 1.7 million Pennsylvania voters are approved to vote by-mail, and about one-third of them have already returned ballots.  With less than two weeks to go before the deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot, Lancaster County election leaders have flagged clerical errors on 267 ballots out of more than 28,000 returned so far. Governor Josh Shapiro has signed legislation designed to protect federal judges after state lawmakers passed it earlier this month. A teacher's union president has declined to share the outcome of a vote to authorize a strike in one Lancaster County school district. A convicted killer's escape from a Chester County jail last year has cost him his right to appeal his original life sentence.      A new federal policy requires all mammography centers to notify women if they have dense breasts -- because they may need additional screening to better detect breast cancer - especially in the early stages.

Central Pennsylvania is recovering from an intense storm that blasted parts of the region Saturday night.   Penn State has removed nearly three dozen racks containing its independent student-produced newspaper from on-campus this week because politics-related ads on the racks violated school policy.  A defense attorney is dismissing as “conjecture” the prosecution's case against a Berks County woman charged with killing her two young children.   Former president Donald Trump has baselessly called out Haitian migrants in the small town of Charleroi in western Pennsylvania.

On this episode of Club + Resort Talks, Senior Editor Phil Keren interviews Rich Wade, Director of Squash and Padel at The Philadelphia Cricket Club, about the club's padel offerings. Wade gives a primer on padel, discusses why the club decided to offer the sport, and reviews the padel programs and leagues that are available. Phil and Editor-In-Chief Rob Thomas also reviewed news stories happening with clubs in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Georgia, North Carolina, and New York. The market for golf courses is experiencing a significant upswing, as seen in the recent listings and sales of properties that are in different stages of development and ownership. Rob and Phil examined two examples that highlight this trend: the Hershey's Mill Golf Club in Chester County, Pa., listed for $9.9 million, and the Candlewood Valley Country Club in New Milford, Conn., sold for $2.5 million. Phil and Rob also highlighted the improvements to the fairways, greens and bunkers at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga. in a restoration that was led by designer Andrew Green. The reopening of the course coincided with the club hosting the TOUR Championship. Rob and Phil also looked at two new amenities being offered at Lake Toxaway Country Club, a private club in western North Carolina — a stand-alone Golf Academy (in addition to their Tom Fazio Learning Center) and The Nest, which includes a climbing wall. The all-new Golf Academy, located at the Tom Fazio Learning Center, opened in May and is a full-service, comprehensive player development program with swing analysis, custom golf club fitting services, training programs, and golf instruction with the club's PGA professionals. Phil and Rob spotlighted Glens Falls Country Club's plans to add two outdoor paddleball courts to their existing three. The club in Queensbury, N.Y. earlier this year added six pickleball courts and is renovating the tee boxes, fairways, and greens on the golf course.

Gas prices are cooling heading into the Labor Day weekend.  Some strong thunderstorms could hit the region tomorrow. But after that, cooler, drier air and clear skies should make for a great Labor Day weekend.  With housing costs reaching new highs, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is campaigning to build more affordable housing Nippon Steel says if federal regulators approve its plans to buy U.S. Steel, it will invest an additional $1 billion in the Pittsburgh region.  A six-year-old from Luzerne County has claimed first place for his age group in the USA Mullet Championships.  A convicted killer is due in court in Chester County on escape charges -- nearly a year after his daring two weeks as a fugitive began.  Police and prosecutors are dealing with an incident that uses AI technology so new there might not be a law on the books that can be used to prosecute anyone. In this week's email newsletter The Purple Buck, WITF's Director of Journalism Scott Blanchard wrote about something coming up on our air that is, let's say, very unusual for us.

Once Faith and I  had a confirmed our record date and time, Dr. Mitchell wrote saying "coincidentally this is Juneteenth.  What interesting alignment and a good opportunity to honor the ancestors who paved the way for so many of us today." And I couldn't have agreed more.Ophelia, My guest's mother and one of twelve children, was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania.  Faith shares stories of her mother and how enthusiastic and encouraging she was. She wanted Faith to experience anything and anywhere, including a love for a robust education, traveling with her mom and dad and Faith  loved spending time with her grandmother and mother and listening to stories about the family from past generations.Faith also loved spending time outdoors in nature exploring. When she was a young girl she lived in rural Michigan mainly because her mother insisted her daughter go to an excellent school.  They found a farmer who was desperate to sell his home and though it was an all white, restricted community, he sold it to the Mitchell's. Her mom used to say, "Faith, make something of yourself," and because the country was still segregated her mom used to speak to her and say "Black people have to progress and education is the way to progress."  Another reflection Faith shared with me is another favorite saying of her mom's which is "the parent opens the door and the child walks through."There's so much more to this conversation. I hope you enjoy the listen. Faith is fascinating. She's passionate about this country and the journey of her forefathers and all that they fought for in order to become the best that they could be.My guest was sure to point out that "Ophelia was smart, inquisitive and open to learning anything and everything.She studied to be a teacher.""Both women are ancestors who have been inspirations to me because of their sense of agency--which comes across in the photos--and their courage against the odds. Captured in the photo of Faith and her mother Ophelia - "it captures my mother and me in 1963 in the Painted Desert and reflects the fact that my parents valued exploration even in the pre-Civil Rights period when most Black people didn't have an opportunity to travel--and it could be dangerous to do so. My mother tried to open doors for me whenever she could and that's the terminology she used," Faith recalled.The word grio translates to one who is an oral historian and storyteller originally from West Africa.   INSTAGRAM:@emmas_postcard_album and @hoodoo_medicine LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/faith-mitchell-0646b313 OTHER: YouTube - https://youtu.be/YeEWX6beGAQ. WEBSITE: https://www.drfaithmitchell.com/  Emma's Postcard Album, Black Lives in the Early Twentieth Century is now available from the University Press of Mississippi, hashtag#Amazon, and hashtag#barnesandnoble!

July 16th, 2024, Court Leader's Advantage Podcast Episode In previous podcasts, we have discussed the unprecedented hiring crunch facing our country.  Intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been characterized by a significant mismatch between the supply of, and demand for young talent.  Despite robust economic recovery efforts, employers in general and courts in particular are struggling to fill empty desks.  All the while, jobseekers are running up against barriers that make traditional careers less attractive.  Throughout this challenge, a question badgers many employers:  What do young job applicants want? Panelists on previous episodes have suggested a lack of flexible scheduling, hybrid work options, and career advancement opportunities as reasons job seekers go elsewhere. Are these the factors now driving job candidates or does it just come down to money?   This month we will take a deeper dive into how courts are scrambling to recruit and retain skilled employees.  Questions we will explore include: What do job candidates want out of a position with the courts? Has criticism of the courts affected recruiting? What can courts do to improve career development for young employees? Do courts promote skills in areas other than administration?  Should we? Today's Panel Richard Abbott, Program Director for Juvenile & Family Services at the Administrative Office of the Courts in Annapolis, Maryland Keenon Simmons, Chief Probation Officer for the Superior Court in Atlantic & Cape May Counties, New Jersey Patricia Norwood-Foden, District Court Administrator for the 15th Judicial District in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Jamie Velazquez, Organizational Development Analyst for the Superior Court in Orange County, California

Political newcomer Neal Young discusses his entry into local politics, his relation to the recent Great Valley Middle School incident, his reaction and the plan of action to reconcile relationships between students and teachers, the professionalism of the teachers, and the breakdown of communication between the school, the parents, and the students. How was kicking off the new Trump Force 47 office last night? Do we really need technology to teach? We take a look at Neil Young's 30 second campaign ad featuring him wrestling, what is the story behind it? What is his history and ties to Chester County? How does he stack up against incumbent Chrissy Houlahan?

Long-time listeners will recall that Bruce originally joined me in Session 197.  In this podcast, we talk all things alternative ed. Specifically, Bruce gives a quick review of how students find their way to his school, and in doing so, provides a mini-seminar in FAPE (and if you're not familiar with that acronym, you will be shortly). We talk about working in a multidisciplinary setting, how those related services are provided, improving academic skills as a behavioral intervention, and in general, what it's like to be a BCBA and a school principal. In many ways, this is a podcast about culture and leadership too. Bruce talks about his interview practices and how he supports teachers and staff throughout the day. We also talk about some of the unique Tier 1 and Tier 2 behavioral practices, how he makes new students feel welcome, his behavioral approach to social-emotional learning, and lots more. We close the podcast with what I thought was a really special discussion about Bruce being a role model. I don't want to spoil that part of the podcast here.
