The Clarke County Commission on Jan. 23 was presented with a proposal from J&M Auctions of Montgomery to sell the county's current motor graders. J&M Auctions representative Curt Brown approached the commission during the pre-meeting and said the auction would be March 19-22. “I don't really want to get into a lot of the particulars of the proposal, so I am going to leave the proposal for you to look over and then you can get back with me,” Brown said. No formal action was taken but the commissioners confirmed the deadline for placing the equipment in auction is Feb....Article Link

lovethylawyer.comA transcript of this podcast is available at lovethylawyer.com. I don't know if I intended on going to law school, more so that I saw that law school opened up opportunities that no other secondary degree could. I was always good at math and science, and my dad being an engineer, naturally the only logical choice was to go the opposite route to law school. I was fortunate to spend time with influential people in my life during undergrad at UC Irvine, probably the most impactful was my co-founder for all of our companies Curt Brown. I saw him talking about law school, and I saw law school as a way to not only be a traditional practitioner, but to do almost anything. You saw folks from NBA commissioners to entrepreneurs all being lawyers, so I figured it was a good path to pursue. We're seeing a tremendous need for solos and small firms to stick together to better service the totality of their clients' needs, and Overture is that conduit that makes it all possible.

We've got big news to share… and boy are we nervous to share it. In this episode, we announce a change to the show's format that will hopefully give us better work/life balance. From this point forward, we'll present one case per week instead of two. This week, Kristin will share a case. Next week, it'll be Brandi's turn, and so on and so forth. This isn't a change we're taking lightly. As you probably know, we are anxiety-ridden people pleasers. We're pretty damn apprehensive about messing with something that we've worked so hard to build. Unfortunately, the truth is that we've hit a breaking point. The time that it takes both of us to research, write, record and review an episode means that we have a lot less time for the other things that matter to us. For Kristin, that means that the novel she's working on is on track to be finished in a quarter to never. For Brandi, it means not spending much time with the little family she wanted for so long. We're hoping that by making this change, we'll keep the show fresh, prevent burnout, and give us some much needed time to harass our families. We're grateful to all of you for supporting us. We hope you'll continue to support us as we move to this new format. Back to your regularly scheduled programming… This week, Kristin covers a case that is often referred to as the “perfect” kidnapping. When Ginny Piper was kidnapped from her upscale home in Orono, Minnesota, investigators were a little puzzled. The Pipers were wealthy and well connected, but they didn't have the money or name recognition of other nearby families. Why hadn't they gone after the Pillsburys? The kidnappers also seemed to have wanted to kidnap Ginny's husband, Bobby. But why had they thought a businessman would be home on a Thursday afternoon? As the investigation continued, the questions kept coming. And now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “Stolen from the Garden, The kidnapping of Virginia Piper,” by William Swanson “The ‘Perfect' Kidnapping of Virginia Piper: Three-Part Series,” by Tracy Briggs for The Globe “50 years later, the Virginia Piper kidnapping remains a Minnesota mystery,” by Curt Brown for the Star Tribune An episode of the Crimes of the Centuries podcast, “The $1 Million Kidnapping of Ginny Piper” YOU'RE STILL READING?

Welcome back, Listeners and (food) Lovers! Cue the love songs, because romance (or something like it) is in the air as we kick off Season 3 talking about Aphrodisiac Foods! In this episode, Lia Ballentine, our Chef-Creator, digs into the most popular Valentine's Day foods, including a sexy pasta dish that looks suspiciously like a “noodle ring,” why steak is considered more romantic than pork or poultry, and how boxes of chocolate became such an in-demand Valentine's Day gift. Plus, she reveals the terrible truth: “Friends” has been lying to us about lobsters for years. In the Deep Dish, our Foodlosopher Anna Van Valin asks the all-important question: is there really such a thing as an aphrodisiac food? She gives us an epic list of foods around the world considered aphrodisiacs and explores the reasons why we think these foods get us in the mood. She also warns us about dangerous supplements you might spot next to bodega cash registers, and tells us why the FDA does NOT want us to eat oysters. (If you love oysters, we're sorry in advance.)

The lighthouse at Piney Point in Maryland --14 miles from Chesapeake Bay up the Potomac River -- was established in 1836, making it the oldest lighthouse on the river. The conical brick tower is 26 feet tall. Piney Point Light Station, Maryland. U.S. Lighthouse Society photo by J. Candace Clifford. April Havens In 1980 the property was transferred to St. Mary's County. The County licensed the St. Clement's Island-Potomac River Museum to preserve the light station, and a museum was established. The museum's exhibits focus on the construction and operation of the lighthouse, lighthouse keepers, the role of the Coast Guard, and other subjects related to the history of the site. April Havens is the site manager at the Piney Point Lighthouse Museum and Historic Park. Split Rock Lighthouse, Minnesota. U.S. Lighthouse Society photo by Tom Tag. Split Rock Lighthouse is located on a 127-foot-high cliff on the northwest shore of Lake Superior. The lighthouse went into service on August 1, 1910. The Coast Guard declared the lighthouse obsolete and it was discontinued as an official navigational aid in 1969. Ownership was transferred to the State of Minnesota, and today the Minnesota Historical Society administers the site. The light station is the centerpiece of 2200-acre Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. Lee Radzak became the lighthouse site manager in November 1982. After retiring in 2019, Lee began work on a new book -- The View from Split Rock: A Lighthouse Keeper's Life. The book, which is co-written by journalist and author Curt Brown, takes readers into the life of a modern-day lighthouse keeper at Split Rock. The book is organized by season and is illustrated with photos taken by Lee and other talented photographers. Lee Radzak Listen using this player:

A new harbinger of death and terror stepped into the spotlight in the early 1980s for the women of the Twin Cities area. Paul Michael Stephani, also known as the Weepy-Voiced Killer, would become one of the strangest serial killer cases in American history, due to his habit of calling in his own crimes, each time doing so with an emotional, high-pitched whine that earned him his unfortunate nickname. Listen now to learn what Stephani did to earn the name, today on Devil We Know.
