Summer is just around the corner, and Winchester's Jim Barnett Park is gearing up for a season full of exciting events and activities. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sat down with Chris Konyar, the City Parks Director, to unpack what's in store for residents and visitors alike. Kicking off the discussion with a splash, Chris highlighted the aquatics programs set to keep everyone cool and entertained. He shared that the outdoor pool building at Jim Barnett Park has been completely revamped with a fresh navy-blue paint job, aligning with the Winchester baseball theme colors. The pool opens on Memorial Day, and it promises to be a hub of activity from lap swimming to children's swim lessons. “We're in full gear right now,” Chris mentioned, speaking about the preparation efforts. “Lifeguard training, clean water, getting the building spruced up – it's a busy time.” He discussed the park's strategy to ensure a successful season, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and the benefits of having professional lifeguards on staff year-round. Chris and Janet also discussed the extensive summer programs that stretch beyond aquatics. The park offers a variety of camps, including basketball with Handley staff, soccer camps led by the Shenandoah University coach, and other sports and recreational camps. “Our sports camps are phenomenal,” Chris said, “and we've got something for all ages.” In addition to sports, the park hosts creative camps like Storytime Creation for preschoolers. There are even special events such as the Game of Skate on May 31st and the Fishing Rodeo on June 14th, which promises to be a fun-filled day for all ages. “It's a great atmosphere,” Chris noted, highlighting the community spirit that permeates these events. Another highlight of the summer will undoubtedly be the July 3rd fireworks event, aptly named Red, White, and Boom. Chris assured that this year's fireworks will be spectacular, with better planning and organization compared to last year's misfire. The event is set to include a variety of activities, food vendors, and live music, making it a memorable night for families and friends. This event also marks the kickoff of Parks and Recreation Month, which will feature numerous activities celebrating Winchester's parks and community spirit. Chris stressed the importance of early booking for the fireworks vendor to ensure a smooth event: “We're locked in,” he confirmed, making sure everything is set for an unforgettable celebration. The conversation wrapped up with a focus on ways to stay updated on park events and activities. Chris encouraged residents to visit the official website, grab a hard copy of the activity guide, and follow Winchester Parks and Rec on social media. “We've got a lot of cool stuff scheduled,” Chris concluded, underscoring the exciting summer that lies ahead. As Janet and Chris wrapped up their engaging chat, the anticipation for a bustling, activity-filled summer at Jim Barnett Park was palpable. Whether it's swimming, camping, sports, or special community events, the park promises something for everyone. So, grab your sunblock, check the activity guide, and dive into a summer full of fun and excitement at Jim Barnett Park!

38-year-old Gordon Pierce owed someone $20,000. His plan to pay it back was a long-shot. (HA!) He dragged an 800 pound cannon from a park, cut it up, and delivered it to his drug dealer. The dealer didn't want it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 8, where witness intimidation is the featured crime. This is Ace of Hearts by Margaret S. Hamilton“Ace of Hearts” is Margaret S. Hamilton's third published short story set in New Orleans, a city she knows and loves, from the manicured acres of City Park to the potholed streets of the Lower Garden District. New Orleans is a city defined by food: fried oyster po'boys, Abita beer, beignets, and chicory coffee. A city of haunting jazz melodies and spectacular Mardi Gras parades. A city that survives adversity and thrives, like Calliope Hebert, the main character of this story.DELIBERATIONCallie is on a tight timeline with no room for error. She needs our help if she's going to find the flash drive and save her mother. There are the potential locations for the flash drive:House of Rising Sun Dress sign, outside the door to Mama's apartmentKrewe stiletto heel, in the dining room on the shelvesPin cushion, kept on Mama's bedside tableLipstick tube, given by Mama's sisterBroken flashlight, stored in Mama's bedroom Here are the clues Callie has to work with:Ace downloaded business records from John Readon to a flash drive before he disappeared last SpringMama sold the house and moved the family to the duplex. The furniture is new. Only personal items and Mama's dress business were movedCallie saw Mama shove something into the side of the house when she was hanging up her business signCallie's aunt gave Mama the tube of lipstick when she came to the partyThe pin cushion was in the draw where Callie found the queen of hearts playing cardThe flashlight Callie tried to use when the lights went out didn't turn on and sounded like there was something loose inside.When Callie asked her mother about the things Ace left, she didn't seem to know where the information was. The only thing Ace said was “think about our wedding day.”The Reardon's reported a rumor that the flash drive was hidden in the Krewe stilettos.Where should Callie look for the flash drive? About Witness IntimidationWitness intimidation is as old as crime itself. And it actually is a crime – witness intimidation, witness tampering. From the attorney general of Pennsylvania comes the very recent case of Dushawn Ellis who was facing charges of human trafficking. While in jail, he put out a $20,000 hit on the witness. Ellis approached another inmate of the county prison who knew the witness and used that connection and the bounty to video chat with the witness and personally make the threat. The witness held their ground and Ellis was charged with two counts of felony witness intimidation and one count of obstruction of justice. He was convicted by a jury in February 2024, was sentences to 8 ½ to 22 years. The original human trafficking was ongoing as of that time.

It was a big week for rallies and protests — supporters of detained immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra took to the streets, union workers gathered at the Capitol, and Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are slated for a big rally in Civic Center Park this evening. Will Denver Dems show up to “fight oligarchy”? Our politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval joins producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies to dig into the local Democratic divide, plus the implications of a brand new stadium at the site of the old Gates Rubber Plant, the uncertain future of Glendale's long-awaited entertainment district, and more wins and fails of the week.  Paul talked about Denver Bike Fest (April 26, City Park), the latest Glendale lawsuit, the Denver Post's congressional vote tracker, the CSU vegetable bracket, and the Denver Gazette's history of Gates Rubber Plant. Bree mentioned the money raised by black license plates and the Westwood Rec Center. Justine talked about Denver's FEMA money and un-banned books.  The song you heard at the end of this episode is “Oligarch Slank” by Rubedo.  What do you think about the plans for the NWSL stadium?

Well, that was a first! In 13 years of hosting Listening Lyrics, I have never—never—forgotten that I had a guest band scheduled. My plan was set, a themed show ready to roll… until I played my first scheduled set. And just like that, everything changed. Enter Rainbow City Park. This insanely talented indie-rock/dream pop band from Northern California took the studio by storm. Their sound is a beautiful collision of '90s alt-rock nostalgia and modern indie influences like Phoebe Bridgers, Diiv, and Pinegrove. Hailing from Sacramento, Davis, and San Francisco, they bring a raw, emotional depth to their music that's impossible to ignore. What started as an unexpected shift turned into an incredible interview, diving deep into their latest EP, Fruitless—a collection of five sonically diverse, thought-provoking tracks. And let me tell you, if you're feeling sluggish and need an adrenaline rush straight to your ears, crank up the title track, "Fruitless." You won't regret it. Keep an eye on their website because Rainbow City Park is about to take the West Coast by storm. You're going to want to be there for the ride.

(The City Park Thing) *** Anyone who knew the little family before that July day would say that one thing was certain, Vernon Plager loved his wife and daughter more than anything.  But then Paul Reed moved to the neighborhood, and it led to more than just a broken marriage… it led to murder. (Wrapped in Ivy) *** The moose is said to be a ghostly white and a giant of stature and weight, antlers bigger than any other moose ever seen. Considered a harbinger of doom, it was first reported in 1891… but has been seen as recently as 2002. Could this giant, ghostly moose at Lobster Lake, North Dakota actually have existed – or still exist? (The Specter Moose of Lobster Lake) *** For the citizens of Brabant Province, Belgium, the era of the Brabant Killers, left behind traumatic wounds that have never really healed.

Part 2 of Adam Fairclough's visit to the Louisiana Anthology Podcast to discuss his research on race relations in Louisiana. His book, Bulldozed and Betrayed: Louisiana and the Stolen Elections of 1876, discusses the end of Reconstruction and the beginning of Jim Crow. Prior to the 2020 presidential election, historians considered the disputed 1876 contest — which pitted Republican Rutherford B. Hayes against Democrat Samuel J. Tilden — the most controversial in American history. Examining the work and conclusions of the Potter Committee, the congressional body tasked with investigating the vote, Adam Fairclough's Bulldozed and Betrayed: Louisiana and the Stolen Elections of 1876 sheds new light on the events surrounding the electoral crisis, especially those that occurred in Louisiana, a state singled out for voter intimidation and rampant fraud. The Potter Committee's inquiry led to embarrassment for Democrats, uncovering an array of bribes, forgeries, and even coded telegrams showing that the Tilden campaign had attempted to buy the presidency. Testimony also exposed the treachery of Hayes, who, once installed in the White House, permitted insurrectionary Democrats to overthrow the Republican government in Louisiana that had risen to power during the early days of Reconstruction.

On this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we hop over to Siloam Springs and to the Park House Kitchen + Bar, where we interview owner/operator Alma Sanchez. But before we got into that interview, we wrapped up Top Chef NWA 2024 benefitting the Rogers Public Library Foundation. We'll hear from the winners and have some news about a popular new part-owner of a Springdale restaurant. Also, this coming weekend will be a popular grand opening weekend in Bentonville. Callisto will be opening on Friday (check out our Facebook/Instagram for our soft opening story) and Brothers Meethouse will be opening on Friday in the Market District. We'll hear from them. So glad that we got to the Park House Kitchen + Bar in Siloam Springs. Really enjoyed the interview, the space, and the food! For those that haven't been there, Alma Sanchez has an amazing place in the downtown historic district right by the City Park & Gazebo and Sager Creek. She was raised in the restaurant world and grabbed the opportunity of the Park House when it unexpectedly became available, just a few weeks after sitting on the porch there, wondering aloud how cool it would be to own the place. It used to be a hotel, and still kind of is. Alma will explain that. She also talks about how they came up with the menu for the place. They thought outside the box for this one and it worked out well. She talks about how they pivoted to survive covid, and how that kept her from having to lay anyone off.   Also, any place that has brunch on the weekends, chicken and waffles, and a Monte Cristo has my attention!   We talk to Alma Sanchez from Park House Kitchen & Bar, next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.

In this episode, Joe Pott hosts a dynamic hour featuring three insightful interviews. First, Edmound Elzy, the Vice President of Ticket Sales for St. Louis CITY 2, discusses the team's playoff push as they prepare for an exciting matchup against San Jose's MLS Next Pro affiliate. He highlights the team's success, which has contributed to a 50% increase in attendance, and emphasizes the affordable ticket prices, creating a family-friendly atmosphere at City Park. Next, Joe shifts gears with Scott Jagow to delve into the storied rivalry between the Dodgers and the Yankees. Scott shares his personal connection to the Dodgers, detailing how his family's history shaped his fandom. They reflect on the essence of baseball fandom in cities like St. Louis and Los Angeles, exploring the generational ties that make baseball unique. Finally, Bernie Miklasz joins to discuss the recent sports roundtable discussions, set to resume on November 4, featuring notable analysts Kevin Wheeler, Tom Ackerman, and Matt Pauley.

Ryan Williams, Chris O'Keefe and Dani Judith are three members of Rainbow City Park. Their love of music and exuberance of life shines in their musical output. It truly was a pleasure to get to know them. Here's the band's story from its website: "Rainbow City Park is an indie alt-rock/dream pop band from Northern California. The band draws inspiration from 90's alt-rock acts such as Third Eye Blind and The Smashing Pumpkins, infusing their music with a modern twist akin to the sounds of Boygenius and Snail Mail. Band members reside in both San Francisco and the Central Valley, converging in Sacramento for rehearsals. "Sonically, Rainbow City Park takes you on a journey through various soundscapes, from dance-inducing rhythmic sections to heavy breakdowns, to ethereal interludes where shimmering guitars blend seamlessly with the vocals. The lyrical content often delves into existential and melancholic themes, offering a stark contrast to the buoyant musical atmosphere. This juxtaposition finds its resonance with artists they admire, such as Phoebe Bridgers, Frightened Rabbit, and Pinegrove. "Fronting the band is the charismatic Dani Judith, a multi-talented artist who wears the hats of an audio engineer and music teacher when she's not playing with Rainbow City Park. The trio of guitarists, including Dani herself, Nick Nassab, and Chris O'Keefe, weaves intricate melodies that intertwine with Dani's vocals. Their signature indie-rock sound is heavily influenced by their love of Fender guitars and an array of pedals that shape their tone. The rhythm section provides the backbone of the band, with accomplished musicians Dwight Struthers on bass and Ryan Williams on drums.  "As a five-piece with Dani as lead vocalist, the band released three songs in 2023: double single 'Broken Record / Dad Jeans' in May and 'Convince You' in October." In February 2024, Rainbow City Park began supporting the release of its next single, “Valentine's Day 1999,” with a series of shows throughout California.
