For many tribal communities in America, internet access isn't always as easy as logging on to a computer. The FCC reports almost 28 percent of tribal land residents lack high-speed broadband, compared to 1.5 percent of urban residents. But the Biden administration is offering funds to try and change that. Cronkite News reporter Maria Staubs reports on how better connectivity may not be enough.

CN2Go Host Kiersten Edgett: For nearly a hundred years, starting in 1869, Native American children were removed from their homes and sent to boarding schools. Now, an oral history project by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition has been launched to raise awareness about a program that affected tens of thousands of Native Americans. Reporter Kenny Rasmussen has more on the story. RASMUSSEN: The upcoming NABS exhibit focuses on educating the public about the plight of Native Americans in the boarding schools designed to “kill the Indian” in them. The project's launch is part of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative introduced by Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland. Haaland uses her platform to raise awareness of the Native American boarding schools and their impact, having appeared on programs such as PBS NewsHour and the History Channel. She often uses her grandparents as an example of people who were forcibly assimilated. Around 0:15 “When my maternal grandparents were only eight years old they were stolen from their parents' culture and communities, and forced to live in boarding schools until the age of 13. Many children like them never made it back to their homes.” RASMUSSEN: Haaland believes the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative will raise awareness and have a transformational impact on future generations. NABS Oral History Project Senior Director Melissa Powless notes that the organization was selected to head the program due to its track record of interviewing survivors of boarding schools in order to create and preserve historical records. Around 1:45 “The amazing thing is that NABS is an organization that does this work already and approaches the interviewing and a healing centered approach to really care for our relatives and the survivors of Indian boarding schools.” Powless says that oral history has had an importance in indigenous communities as it is a way storytellers and listeners can connect. Studies have shown the importance of sharing experiences and stories, especially in familial settings. RASMUSSEN: Powless says the impact of boarding schools was an intergenerational trauma that can be linked to a lot of the modern-day social, health, and economic disparities native people deal with. Boarding school intergenerational trauma can manifest in various ways. Elena Selestewa, a historian who gathers knowledge regarding the Phoenix Indian School and its students, noted that her grandmother was affected by such trauma. During her childhood, her grandmother washed out her mouth with a bar of soap when she said a bad word. She later discovered this was a way her grandmother was disciplined at the boarding school when she had difficulty speaking words in English. The process of interviewing survivors is complicated for a variety of reasons linked to the trauma and in some cases the age of the survivors. Powless notes that a lot of survivors want to share their experiences but have found themselves unable to for various reasons. Around 10:55 “One of the main ones that I often think about is that a lot of our survivors do share that they don't want their families to hear about what happened to them because they don't want to re-traumatize or hurt them.” RASMUSSEN: There is also mental health assistance and medicine available to aid in the healing-based approach NABS intends to have with their interviews. Powless says the staff is always prepared to have the support close by so it can be there if needed. Powless mentions that while the final blueprint of the project is yet to be determined, the recorded interviews will be a milestone that will ensure the oral history project's success.

We talk with Jessica Wilson, MS, RDN (she/her), a clinical dietitian, consultant and author, whose experiences navigating the dietetic fields as a Black, queer dietitian have been featured on public radio shows and in print media, including the New York Times, Bustle, and Cronkite News. Jessica has worked as a clinical dietitian since 2007 and is acutely aware of how both the public health and medical framing of “healthy eating” and “obesity” has contributed to disordered eating and self blame. She speaks openly and candidly about the harm caused to people by designating individual identities and bodies as risk factors, rather than targeting the structural inequities and violence that marginalized individuals must endure and which contribute to whether we fall into the social construction of Health. In this episode we talk about the unique experiences of black, fat, queer women in wellness, the racist origins of diet culture, and Jessica's take on intuitive eating.

For Native American communities across the country, the effort to translate ballots and voting materials into Native languages is not an easy task. Cronkite News reporter Alexia Stanbridge spoke with Indigenous communities in Arizona about their commitment to voting rights. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
Protect the Sacred is part of a nationwide effort to find new and creative ways to engage with young Indigenous voters. Earlier this year, they skated to the polls for the primary election. And as Cronkite News' Athena Ankrah reports, this month they gathered in Kayenta, Arizona, to ride on horseback to the polls ahead of the midterm election. ——– Early on a recent Saturday morning, a group of activists, advocates and actors mounted horses and rode through the red rock of El Capitán Mountain in Monument Valley. By lunchtime, they made it to Kayenta Rodeo Grounds on the Navajo Nation. Black mesas and the wide open desert surround the arena. Local Diné families sit in the bleachers. There, a green flag of a rider on horseback with the words “Reclaim Your Future” waves in the breeze. Mo Brings Plenty is a Lakota actor from South Dakota. He says events like “Ride to the Polls” can unite Black, Indigenous and people of color. “it's about coming together, it's about creating allies. It's about making many voices one large voice. And we're way overdue with that.” Of the 400,000 formally enrolled Diné, only 70,000 are registered to vote in Arizona. “We just recently had the primary election… Unfortunately, on the Navajo Nation, even though we are the biggest tribe, we only had about 13% of our people, our registered voters, come out to vote.” That's Nathaniel Brown, the Navajo Nation Council Delegate for Kayenta and two other communities. He says in-person voting on the reservation is challenging. “Some of our people from Navajo Mountain, when they come out to vote at the county and state level, they have to travel four hours one way.” Brown says mail-in ballots can be even trickier. “Out here in rural Navajo Nation -- which the whole nation is -- we don't have physical addresses for the most part." That's why grassroots organizer Allie Young decided to take steps to get young people and elder members of the community to the polls. “I's a demonstration to say that even though different laws have been passed the past couple of years that have aimed to suppress our votes, especially in BIPOC communities, that we're not going to let that happen. We're still going to, you know, show up in our power. And by voting, we're reclaiming our power.” Young led the first ride to the polls in 2020. This year to emphasize the importance of voting, young invited speakers from across the country, including Rogelio Diaz. He's the co-founder of Connecting Compton, a nonprofit in California. “At the end of the day, some of the rules that exist right now are not working for us. And so we have to begin to figure out a strategy and vote for things that are going to work out for us. I think it's a necessity that we all vote, we make the difference.” For attendee Joy Wero, the event reminded her of her own family's struggle for suffrage. “My grandmother, I'm pretty sure her and her ancestors were, you know, fighting and putting their lives on the line just to hear their voices heard. But yet, I'm here and all we have to do is register, sign and register to vote.” Though voter turnout has historically been low here, numbers have spiked over the last two presidential elections. Voters on the Navajo and nearby Hopi reservations cast nearly 20,000 more votes in 2020 than in 2016, according to election data. The ride to the polls event is just one of several efforts to mobilize the Diné voting bloc before the midterm election on November 8. And when people cast their ballots on the Navajo Nation this year… the “I voted” stickers will be written in Diné Bizaad; the Navajo language.

Pascua Yaqui Tribe gets tax credits to build homes for 200 families By Madison Thomas Cronkite News In southern Arizona, a new affordable housing development is underway for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. Cronkite News reporter Madison Thomas explains how the development could change lives More than 1,000 families in the Pascua Yaqui Tribe are on a waitlist for affordable housing. That's according to Keith Gregory. He's the tribe's housing director. But for 200 families the wait will soon be over. “What we're trying to do has never been done before, anywhere in tribal housing,” says Gregory. “The first of the project, the phase we are working on right now, is literally the largest tax credit project ever done in the united states on tribal land.” Gregory says the tribe applied for the tax credits through the state's department of housing. The project received roughly 15 million dollars through tax credits sold to investors. “The tax credit program is authorized by the federal government,” says Gregory. “They allocate dollars to the states that then are allocated to individual projects.” The construction company expects to complete the first phase of the project by the end of the year. The next phase will include twenty-seven units and a third phase is currently in design. Gregory says they are committed to providing the community with the resources they need. “Housing is more than just buildings. It's an opportunity to help people reach their own goals,” says Gregory. Tenants will have the option to buy the home at a reduced rate after renting homes for 15 years. Gregory says this allows families to start building generational wealth from the home's equity. --Madison Thomas, Cronkite News Cover photo by Madison Thomas/Cronkite News

Support, Don't Deport is a deportation defense podcast where I sit with organizers and activists around the country facing and FIGHTINg deportation. Together, we deconstruct criminalization, the incarceration to deportation pipeline, and re-define justice and what thriving communities look like. Thank you for listening to my story. TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHY THIS PODCAST, WHY ME, why now? Truth is, it's been a long process. Fighting an immigration case publicly is aaaa lot. But I'm also one of the lucky ones in a strange way. I didn't grow up with my immigration status on my mind. Even though I come from a mixed status family, most of us have legalization and some economic stability. This is important because all those things are important when you're trying to fight your case and overall survive in this country. The government makes it really tough, expensive and it takes a toll on our well being and mental health. Before I went to jail for my immigration status, I had been criminalized for being who I am, for liking what I like, for looking like I do. I didn't know that who I was, would make me a target to la poli-migra……….. I quickly learned a lot.It's crucial that we think about immigration enforcement as part of the broader trend of criminalization—this allows us to get closer to the root cause of the harm that immigration authorities bring to immigrant communities, and to see the connections between struggles that are shared by criminalized citizens and non-citizens alike. resources: Elloy immigration prison https://advancementproject.org/resources/the-carceral-state-of-arizona-the-human-cost-of-being-confined/ Alejandra's Tree link https://linktr.ee/Alepablos713 Articles: Fierce Mitu: https://fierce.wearemitu.com/things-that-matter/immigrant-rights-organizer-alejandra-pablos-detained-ice/ Cronkite News: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA0bCtEKfss Democracy Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42tLr6S0In4 Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T2Dz2wZU_U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07iOnZgXDq8&t=62s

It’s #GivingTuesday and I want to implore you to consider contributing the the Mat Talk Podcast Network. This is more than just podcasts. This show, Short Time Shots, is just a glimpse at what type of news I provide, for free, to the wrestling community at an almost daily basis. Why almost daily? I’ve got a wife and kids, too. At the end of each episode, I normally make a plug about contributing. This show and the daily wrestling newsletter is a value for value model. If you find it of value and worthwhile to you, consider making a one-time or small monthly contribution to what you think this is worth to you. If you like it just fine and feel like you’re spending enough on wrestling subscriptions and online offerings, that’s absolutely fine. If you think this is actually worth something more than your time, hey, give that a shot too. You can modify your contribution at any time. Go to mattalkonline.com/contribute to see the various ways you can help out. I’ve got a staff of 10 - fingers. Thanks to Pat Fitzgerald, Trent Kroll, John McCarty and Craig Scharer for their contributions this Tuesday. That’s it for the sales pitch, because THIS is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily recap of the scores and more in and around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant and in the morning, I’m off to Canuckistan! I mean, Canada. In case you’re wondering, yes, I’m announcing the Canadian Olympic Trials. Yes, they hold them in December. They’re in Niagara Falls, which is actually SOUTH of where I live. Why do they set the team so early? Well, I’ll have an investigative, expose, The World In Crisis. Double gold star if you catch THAT reference. Dual Meets: I’d say Mount Union was pretty pumped up about their win on Tuesday. The Purple Raiders social media accounts quickly tagged me on Twitter (@jasonmbryant) to let me know No. 6 Mount Union beat No. 7 Baldwin Wallace 31-9 in the Yellowjackets own gym. Mount Union head coach Josh Malave with quite the conundrum, having to X out the M in Mount Union’s name all week. The only matchup of ranked foes saw Jordin James, ranked No. 1 at 141 for Mount Union, beat No. 9 Charlie Nash 11-4. Lenny Reich shout out as well! Elsewhere in the Ohio Athletic Conference, No. 21 John Carroll picked up its first shutout in three years, topping the Fighting Muskies of Muskingum 43-0. Fastest fall of the night came at 165, where Canton, Ohio native Luke Reicosky picked up six in 64 seconds. Otterbein improved to 5-2 on the season after beating Ohio Northern 30-15. Top-ranked Drew Kasper picked up another W at 285 for the Cardinals, improving to 14-0 on the season and registering his sixth fall of the year. And while I’d like to give Mount Union the graphic on Twitter and Instagram, that honor goes to Division II Kentucky Wesleyan. The Panthers won its first dual in school history, topping NAIA Midway 26-19 in Midway, Kentucky. Last year, Kentucky Wesleyan went 0-10 in its maiden season. Kairus Washington’s fall at 285 sealed the deal. Sticking with some Division II action, Indianapolis shutout Urbana 48-0. In the NAIA, Williams Baptist beat Hannibal-LaGrange 39-15. Anyone get ZZ Top stuck in their head anytime they hear the name Hannibal-LaGrange? No? The Eagles picked up five falls in the American Midwest Conference win. In an odd scheduling note, there were two women’s duals initially scheduled on Tuesday, but the North Central-UW-Stevens Point dual was moved to February 18, and the Emmanuel-McKendree dual was canceled. Which can be spelled with one L or two. Cancelled. See. I didn’t get a red underline when I typed it, but you … can’t actually see that. Notables on the Docket: Division II Lander will host its first dual in school history as the Bearcats welcome another first-year program, fellow Division II member and conference mate Mount Olive. Mount Olive won its first dual as a program last week - this is the first time Lander is stepping on the mat for a dual, ever. Kentucky Wesleyan will try to win two in a row as they visit NAIA Thomas More. There will be no more Elisabeth Shue references. Well, there might be. In Division III, we have a five duals involving teams from D3 and all five of them are in-state battles. Pitt-Bradford faces Thiel, Southern Virginia faces the new NJCAA program at Southwest Virginia Community College, Fontbonne takes on Westminster, NAIA Lincoln faces Millikin and UW-Stevens Point faces UW-Platteville. The NAIA mostly follows suit, as Truett McConnell faces Life, Central Christian takes on Ottawa and Arizona Christian faces Embry-Riddle. Grand View and Baker gotta screw it all up by being from different states. Fontbonne and Westminster are scheduled to go there on the women’s side as well, while Saint Mary (Kan.) heads to wrestle Missouri Valley. FROM THE DWN: The University of Iowa announced on Tuesday that four-time All-American Brandon Sorensen has begun undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. There are numerous outlets with information on this, including the Daily Iowan, Trackwrestling, The Cedar Rapids Gazette, the Quad City Times … after this kind of news, there really isn’t much I want to promote here today. Thoughts are with Sorensen, his family and the entire Iowa wrestling family. The only good news really coming from Iowa today was the Hawkeyes did come in as a unanimous No. 1 in the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. Slight movement, nothing major. No major changes in the NJCAA Team Rankings as Western Wyoming is still No. 1 there. From the Asbury Park Press, Rutgers head wrestling coach Scott Goodale gives a mighty endorsement for the football program bringing back Greg Schiano as head football coach. Apparently, Goodale was a pretty good tosser of the pigskin back in high school. Not quite like Uncle Rico, but good. Cuban Olympic medalist Alexis Vila was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in arranging a murder. Yikes. Cronkite News, which we’ve discussed on the show before, drops another solid wrestling piece, this time Sarah Farrell profiles Marlee Smith, the lone woman on the Arizona State wrestling team. There’s even a quote from your sometimes-humble host, that’s me. The Cuban Greco-Roman wrestling team is leaving Iran, according to the Mehr News Agency. The Cubans were training in the run up to the Greco-Roman World Cup, which was postponed by United World Wrestling last week. The Iranian contingent is adamant they will put on the event, passing off alleged safety concerns in the country. This was posted yesterday, but since there was no Shots, I repeat such info here. The Japan News reports that four-time Olympic champion Kaori Icho has not entered the All Japan Championships set for this weekend, effectively ending her chances at winning an unprecedented fifth Olympic wrestling gold medal. She’s the only human being who has ever walked the planet to win four Olympic gold medals in wrestling. On The Network Kyle Klingman and Andy Hamilton go On The Mat with the Director of Wrestling and the head men’s wrestling coach at Presbyterian College, Mark Cody. WarUP on The WPIAL with Jeff Upson and Greg Warnock chat about things related to Waynesburg Central in Western Pennsylvania. Keep an eye out for a new show coming this week on the network called State of Wrestling. It’ll be an organizational podcast coming from the NWCA. I’ll host it and the first guest will be NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. Little background on the organization and some insight on what’s happening to grow the sport there.

Sometimes you have to pivot. I had every intention of putting together another episode of The Guillotine Grapevine here on the Mat Talk Podcast Network, but sometimes things don’t go as planned, as you’re about to find out. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. Dual Meets: The biggest upset of the night and one of the bigger upsets in the past several years saw unranked Rider come into Williams Arena in Minneapolis and knock off No. 6 Minnesota 21-17. The key wins came from Jonathan Tropea at 125 pounds and Dean Sherry at 174 pounds. Sherry pinned All-American Devin Skatzka in one of the most exciting three minutes of wrestling. Instead of talking you through it, I talked with Rider coach John Hangey about the match and its impact on the Rider program. Rider’s Ryan Cloud won an absolutely not thrilling bout 1-0 at 285 over Bobby Steveson to lock up the win for the Broncs. (Hangey Interview) In other Top 25 action, No. 3 Ohio State won six out of 10 at No. 15 Pittsburgh, but it was bonus points that blew the match open for coach Tom Ryan’s Buckeyes. Ohio State prevailed 23-12. Kollin Moore opened the dual with a major at 197, Chase Singletary scored a mild upset over Demetrius Thomas at heavyweight, Luke Pletcher, no, that’s not a typo, got a major at 141 pounds over Cole Matthews, while Sammy Sasso picked up a fall at 149 pounds. The Buckeyes return home to face No. 11 Virginia Tech on Sunday. In Philadelphia, No. 4 Oklahoma State won eight out of 10 bouts to open its dual season with a 30-6 win over Drexel. Cowboy 165-pounder Travis Wittlake knocked off Ebed Jarrell 5-1. John Smith also tied Bobby Douglas for fifth on the all-time collegiate dual wins list with his 427th victory. No. 8 Arizona State won its home opener 35-6 over Division II Augustana (S.D.). We’ll save the story of that dual for what’s in the Daily Wrestling Newsletter. No. 9 NC State always seems to get a fight from ODU and Friday was no different. The Wolfpack would prevail 22-11 after getting a huge fall at 197 pounds from Tyrie Houghton to go along with ranked wins by top-ranked Hayden Hidlay at 157 over Larry Early and Tariq Wilson’s 3-2 win over Sa’Derian Perry at 141. Elsewhere in Division I, Northern Illinois beat Bucknell 24-10, Binghamton beat South Dakota State 25-16, Oregon State beat Division II Simon Fraser 40-8 in Tahoma, Washington. I deliberately didn’t post this until Fresno State and Rutgers were finished. Rutgers won 23-13. Did Fresno State set their school’s attendance record? No, but they still drew a solid 3,500-plus. Division II Coker beat NAIA St. Andrews 45-8. In Division III No. 1 Wabash shut out Manchester 45-0, No. 15 Ithaca topped Stevens Institute 29-12, Williams beat Trinity 28-18, Lycoming beat Thiel 40-6 and smashed NJCAA Jamestown (N.Y.) 51-3. Thiel beat Jamestown 44-6. In the NAIA, Concordia (Neb.) beat Northwestern (Iowa) 29-10 and Southern Oregon beat Warner Pacific 36-16. Campbellsville swept a quad at Embry-Riddle. The Tigers beat Arizona Christian 32-6, host Embry-Riddle 33-9 and Vanguard 43-3. So two wins over first-year teams. Play nice Franky James! In junior college action, Minnesota West beat Northland Tech 36-21. Late Thursday: Fresno City beat Bakersfield 42-6, while Modesto beat Skyline and West Hills. Central Baptist beat Oklahoma Wesleyan 24-22. Tournaments In Bristol, Rhode Island, Johnson & Wales is out to an early Day 1 lead at the Roger Williams Invitational. Following the Wildcats are Castleton, TCNJ, NYU and host Roger Williams. International Wrestling Day 1 of the Bill Farrell came and went as the most important aspect was athletes qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in April in State College. In Greco, five Americans won titles - Ryan Mango at 60kg, Alex Sancho at 67kg, Alan Vera at 87kg, G’Angelo Hancock at 97kg and Adam Coon at 130kg. Also qualifying was Sammy Jones at 60kg and Spencer Woods at 77kg. In women’s freestyle competition at the Bill Farrell, Victoria Anthony beat Erin Golston to win gold at 50kg. Golston qualified for the Trials by being the highest placing American who wasn’t already qualified. Areana Villaescusa and Alex Glaude also qualified. Of note at 76kg, Erica Wiebe of Canada, the 2016 Olympic champion, beat 2014 world silver medalist Aline da Silva of Brazil 4-0 for gold. Women’s World Cup in Narita, Japan kicked off. The U.S. was wrestling Russia at the time this show was being recorded. Check UnitedWorldWrestling.org or TheMat.com for full results and @wrestling or @usawrestling on Twitter for live results.

Notables on the Docket for November 16: There’s like nearly 100 duals or something tomorrow. I can’t possibly list them all. The biggest is No. 4 Oklahoma State at No. 10 Lehigh. FROM THE DWN: Travis Johnson of Trackwrestling gets a look at Stanford looking to take its next step after its first Pac-12 title, a quick glimpse at Oklahoma State-Lehigh, a look at Northern Iowa’s Bryce Steiert, now up at 174 and a note about Josh Shields from Arizona State. InterMat’s Tim “T.R.” Foley starts out remembering Paul Wellstone before answering reader questions in his weekly Foley’s Friday Mailbag feature. Greg Moore of the Arizona Republic features Roman Rozell, a 34-year-old Army combat veteran who will be believed to be the oldest starter in Division I wrestling when he takes to the mat against Division II Augustana (S.D.). This story will be dated by the time you hear this, but it’s still worth the read. Rozell wrestled at 197 on Friday night, getting pinned in ASU’s only loss of the evening. But still. We’ve got an abundance of international stars competing at the Bill Farrell, so here’s a few to keep an eye on, courtesy of TheMat.com. Speaking of TheMat.com, Taylor Miller of USA Wrestling writes a pretty solid feature on Anthony Echemendia. Did you know he turned 19 in a detention center while trying to get to the United States? Good job T-Millz on that piece. The RUDIS Podcast, The Way, with Cary Kolat and Matt Dernlan go into college officiating. This … should be interesting. The Mid-American Conference released its November coaches rankings at GetSomeMaction.com. Missouri still No. 1, followed by Old Dominion, Lock Haven, Rider and Clarion. Cronkite News, a program produced by students at the amazing journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State, features Marlee Smith, the only woman on the wrestling team at Arizona State. Zeke Jones has women and combat vets on the roster. That’s dynamic. On The Network The 10th installment of #ROCKedUP, the story about the foundation and formation of the wrestling program at Little Rock has been posted.

How do we report on people who don't fall into the traditional gender binary with dignity and respect for their identity? There was an email exchange on the Gaydio listserv in May that shows various newsrooms might identify drag queens in different manners (by their stage name versus given male name). In this episode, ONA on Air producer Austin Fast talks to journalists at the ONA19 conference in New Orleans about how they handle gender non-conforming sources and subjects. Music used in this episode is by Blue Dot Sessions. Special thanks to Margaret Schneider, an ONA Local organizer, Posey Gruener of Sound Effect, and Lori Todd of Cronkite News.
Bobbi Lancaster is a skilled golfer, an author and a family doctor, but up until 2010, she had lived her life as a man. “I was in the closet hiding from my wife, hiding from everybody, secretly crossdressing at times, feeling hopeless that I would never ever be able to just live openly,” Lancaster recalled. “I would just hide my whole life.” Lancaster sat down with Cronkite News sports reporter Brian Brindley to talk about how being transgender has affected her life experiences.
Travis Bagent is a professional arm wrestler from West Virginia who came to the desert in June to showcase his sport at the Arizona Arm Wrestling Championship. Bagent, who’s one of the organizers of the championship, also participated in it. He helped promote the event by talking to local news media and sometimes doing-off-the wall promotional events to boost the profile of the championship and the organization that runs it, the National Armwrestling League. When Bagent wasn’t competing, he played host and color commentator for other bouts. The event filled a showroom at Talking Stick Resort and Casino with dozens of contestants over two days. In this episode of Arizona in Focus, Cronkite News talks with Bagent, 43, about how he became a professional arm wrestler, and the super heavyweight wrestling champion of the world. This episode begins with Bagent’s beginnings in West Virginia, where he grew up poor with a father who wasn’t around much.
People who live in Imperial Beach, California, in Naco and Nogales in Arizona and in Texas communities along the Rio Grande all say the same thing: When it rains, it stinks. On this episode of Arizona in Focus, we bring you a conversation with the team of Cronkite News reporters who spent four months working to understand the complexities of wastewater treatment along the border.
