Why My Water Tastes So Good; Season 2, Episode 54

Our water tastes great in Millheim. Wanna know why?  Trout.  Trout fishing is a very big deal in central PA, from the Yellow Breeches Creek in Cumberland County, to Cedar Run in Lycoming County, the Little Juniata, and Centre County's Spruce, Spring, and Penns Creeks. I talked to a pair of young fishing guides at The Feathered Hook fishing store in Coburn, and to Tom Doman, a licensed guide who's been fishing Penns Creek since 1979.  We didn't just talk about Green Drakes and wet flies, riffles and lies. We talked about how trout fishing and anglers have brought back and preserved the quality of the waterways in central PA, and how that affects every day quality of life here.  Then I went to a couple of Opening Day parties, which also affect the quality of life around here! Everything can be a celebration, and Opening Day is a good one.  What I Drank Today was a bottle I'd misplaced when we moved back in 2021: Paul John Indian Single Malt Christmas Edition. The extra three years sitting in the dark hadn't hurt it at all. If you've never experienced Indian malt whisky, I hope this encourages you to try some.  The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau spot highlighted four Centre County lodging spots that are perfect for anglers.  And I told you more about a small contest we're running: finding a central PA food to star in an upcoming episode! Tell me what you love, and why it should be the winner! (This is your chance to make me cook ham pot pie!) What's next? I promise you, it won't be fish again! See you in two weeks! Until then?

Soil health is attainable. Anthony Beery of Beery Farms and Cumberland Hay and Straw LLC shares that message with Mary Sketch Bryant and Jeff Ishee based on his farming experience and journey. Anthony grew up in the Shenandoah Valley where he and his father Danny raised dairy cows and poultry. Anthony benefitted from his father's mentorship and encouragement to be open to new ideas and experimenting.Anthony and his family moved to Cumberland County in 2018 to begin custom crop production and start Cumberland Hay & Straw LLC. Anthony received the 2024 Carl Luebben Soil Health and Water Quality Award at the Virginia Farm-to-Table Conference for his commitment, example, and mentorship of other farmers.  If you are just starting your soil health journey, Anthony emphasizes taking a step and starting with the basics: learn the soil type and previous land use, test for nutrient content and pH, and understand the areas where nutrients are low and high. For Anthony, soil compaction was a limiting factor on his farm that started his commitment to earnest no-till farming, experimenting with diverse cover crop rotations, and continued devotion to core principles of soil health. As always, we encourage you to start your soil health journey and follow the four principles of soil health: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration. Yes, soil health is attainable and we can all be 4 The Soil! To enjoy the recent We Are 4 the Soil song created by the Flip Charts, please visit   https://www.4thesoil.org/#we-are-4-the-soil-video.

This year a report was released by the US Department of Interior on Indian Boarding Schools, and President Joe Biden issued an apology for conditions that Native Americans endured. Th institutions included the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Cumberland County. Dr. Amanda Cheromiah is the Executive Director of the Center for the Futures of Native Peoples and is a decent of some of the students who attended the school. When she heard the news, she was surprised. “I was actually in Hawaii when I heard I ran a marathon this weekend. And when I was there, I felt so excited. There's a lot of mixed emotions. Any time there's any information regarding an Indian school, it's always a spectrum of emotions, of joy and celebration, but grief and anger and pain. And so, it really is this kind of coming in and out of these emotions. But I'm so glad because ultimately our indigenous narratives are going to be amplified in a way that is going to bring so much light. And I think healing collectively for our Native people and beyond.” The White House announced the creation of the Carlisle Federal Indian Boarding School National Monument. More than 900 Native children died at hundreds of government-funded boarding schools under forced assimilation policies meant to erase tribal traditions. Cheromiah believes this moment will help share the story of the school. “think ultimately when you're on the Barack's camp is you're literally walking in the footsteps of our relatives, our indigenous relatives. And that is, again, a whole flow of emotion. But it shows you the spectrum of experiences because there were really bad experiences, but then there were also some positive experiences that some of our Native people had. And I think that's often negated and sometimes the larger media, larger stream of communication. And so, I think it's important to recognize that there is a plethora of experiences that make this whole system really complicated.” So far, Cheromiah says there are six relatives that attended the school. She credits those relatives for having tenacity. “If they didn't survive, I literally would not be here. So there has to be some kind of tenacity, some kind of grit, some kind of endurance, right. For them to navigate that place. And it's only a mile down the road from where I'm at, where I'm sitting right now. And in that, I know that our family in their DNA and the genetic makeup, that there's that endurance in there. So that's a personal story.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
