Podcast appearances and mentions of dawson springs

A 1931 graduate of South Bend's Central High School talks about her experiences growing up in a resort town of Kentucky, and the discrimination she experienced as a white-passing African American woman both in the south and in South Bend.    Odie Mae Johnson Streets was born in Chicago before moving with her family to Dawson Springs, Kentucky. In the 1920s, she moved to South Bend both so her father could find work at Studebaker and so she could go to school beyond the sixth grade—a common end point in formal education provided to most Black students in Dawson Springs.    In 1996, Odie Mae sat down with her niece to record her life's story. She spoke about growing up in Kentucky and Indiana, challenging racial discrimination at Central High School by joining the swim team, seeing South Bend's Birdsell Street evolve into a multi-racial neighborhood, and how her four children lived their own lives in South Bend and beyond.    This episode was produced by Nathalie Villalobos and by George Garner from the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center.    Full transcript of this episode available here.     Want to learn more about South Bend's history?

It's been one year since a violent, long-tracked tornado tore across Western Kentucky, producing severe to catastrophic damage in many towns, including Mayfield, Princeton, and Dawson Springs. Fifty-seven fatalities were confirmed from the tornado, making it Kentucky's deadliest tornado on record.   Almost immediately, The Salvation Army in the region sprung into action. Emergency Disaster Services responded from Madisonville to Dawson Springs approximately 20 minutes after the tornado moved through.   Over the course of the next 28 days, The Salvation Army served 19,000 meals, water, snacks and provided emotional and spiritual care with survivors.   Since that initial response of providing food and hydration, the Army has stayed in the area, providing long term care to meet any needs that other agencies, such as FEMA, are unable to meet.

Scott Jennings did not alway see himself as a political pundit who would work in the White House and appear regularly on CNN. Growing up in a small town in west Kentucky with a passion for writing and journalism, it would not take long before Scott was deep in the world of political campaign and public affairs. On today's show, Joe Arnold talks with our podcast's namesake, Scott Jennings, through his life growing up in a small, poor town to his first big break, and now the great places his career takes him. Join us as we weave our way through the life of Scott Jennings.

Bill Bryant and journalists discuss the news of the week, focusing on the impact of a tornado outbreak on western Kentucky and the aftermath in several communities including Mayfield, Dawson Springs, and Bowling Green. Guests: Alex Acquisto, Lexington Herald-Leader; Liam Niemeyer, WKMS in Murray; Joe Sonka, Louisville Courier Journal; and Alana Watson, WKU in Bowling Green.

Scott Jennings, one of the few conservative pundits remaining on CNN, joins Leland to discuss the devastation caused in his hometown of Dawson Springs, Kentucky by deadly tornadoes last weekend. He also opines on several issues of the day and how they're being covered, or not covered, in the mainstream corporate media.

Scott Jennings' hometown is Dawson Springs. His father, Jeff, is a lifelong resident. On Saturday morning they both awoke to a town in rubble. Nearly everything their town had held was wiped away by the tornadoes. The question now is what does the future hold for Dawson Springs, and the many other towns just like it that were destroyed by the tornadoes. Can they rebuild? Will life ever come back to these towns?

It's been almost a week since tornadoes hit western part of the commonwealth. The storms killed over 70 Kentuckians and reduced whole communities to rubble. On this week's show, we hear from WKMS's Derek Operle and WFPL's Ryan Van Velzer, some of the reporters who have been our eyes and ears on the ground in places like Mayfield and Dawson Springs. We check in with WEKU's Corinne Boyer, who's been keeping up with Gov. Andy Beshear and relief efforts. And we talk with Jared Bennet from the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting about Mayfield Consumer Products, the candle factory that's now at the center of a class action lawsuit related to its leadership's management of the emergency.

On Saturday morning the citizens of Kentucky woke up to the aftermath of the worst tornadoes this state has ever seen. As the sun rose, the devastation became more clear. Entire neighborhoods gone. Cities destroyed. Homes, cars, hospitals, and nearly everything else was leveled. For Scott Jennings, his hometown of Dawson Springs was not much but rubble. The destruction of the tornadoes leave these families with so many questions. Can they rebuild these small towns? With inflation and supply chain issues, is it even worth it? Will Western Kentucky ever be the same? We discuss it all on this week's podcast.

DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE NORMAL NONSENSE AND GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY. INSTEAD OF MY NORMAL QUARTERLY FUN QUIZ, I DECIDED TO MAKE IT ABOUT KENTUCKY. JUST A SMALL WAY TO KEEP THEM IN OUR THOUGHTS.

Die Amerikaanse president Joe Biden het die deelstate Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi en Tennessee besoek na ‘n storm wat meer as 30 tornado's gehad het, verwoesting gesaai het. Hy het inwoners van Dawson Springs moed ingepraat.

There was hand holding. There were pats on the head. And there were hugs— a lot of hugs. As Joe Biden walked through Dawson Springs, Kentucky on Wednesday, he passed homes ground down to piles of drywall and bricks, cars flipped upside down, and trees strewn with shreds of wall insulation. He was running about an hour behind his official schedule as he made time to stop for long chats with residents whose bedrooms they had been sleeping in a week ago were now mounds of rubble.

Severe windstorms, including 100 mph wind gusts, have caused significant damage in several states across the Great Plains. Iowa and Nebraska reported more than a dozen tornadoes, and Minnesota issued tornado warnings in December for the first time. President Biden visited the community devastated by last week's tornadoes in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, yesterday; he said the federal government would fully cover emergency recovery costs for the first 30 days. Omicron cases are on the rise nationwide, as schools, states and colleges are taking action to combat its spread. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects a surge in COVID-19 cases ahead of the holidays. The U.K. reported 78,000 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, its highest daily tally since the start of the pandemic. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pleaded guilty to a federal charge of violating George Floyd's civil rights during the May 2020 arrest that led to Floyd's death.

Jay Zimmer reports. Air Force One is due to land at Fort Campbell tomorrow.  The president will tour storm-ravaged Mayfield and Dawson Springs, and housing in Mayfield is a problem since many homes have been severely damaged or destroyed, and some good news for holiday travelers... gasoline prices at the pump appear to be inching downward.

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Steven L. Beshear, Governor of Kentucky on Growing our Future Together: The Value of Advancing the Strong Economic Ties Between Canada and Kentucky Steven L. Beshear was elected Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky in November 2007. An attorney by profession, Gov. Beshear has a long background in public service, having served as a state representative in the Kentucky General Assembly, attorney general and lieutenant governor prior to being elected governor. To each of these positions he has brought a foundation of integrity and ethics, as well as a deeply felt commitment to improving the lives of fellow Kentuckians. During three terms as state representative, Beshear helped modernize the Kentucky Judicial System and proposed legislation that resulted in the modernization and more than doubling of neo natal capacities at the University of Kentucky Hospital. As attorney general, Beshear saved countless taxpayer dollars by successfully cracking down on statewide food stamp fraud and pursued several controversial investigations involving state government employees. As lieutenant governor, Beshear helped push for reform of the child welfare system. He also created and spearheaded the Kentucky Tomorrow Commission, a strategic planning initiative that identified daunting challenges facing the state then and far into the future. After taking nearly two decades off to practice law, Beshear entered a crowded field in the governor's race and beat the incumbent. As governor, Beshear has helped restore public trust by creating a culture of integrity in state government that has included rooting out cronyism and implementing stronger ethics standards. He has also spending with a trimming of the state workforce, implemented a more efficient way of designing and building roads and won bipartisan support for a complex reform of the beleaguered public pension system. Despite inheriting an austere budget and a struggling economy, he has focused on initiatives to help Kentucky families. These have included expanding efforts to bring health coverage to 35,000 uninsured children, designing a plan to bring prescription drugs to those who can't afford them, securing bridge funding to save Kentucky's student loan agency and calling for a new analysis on higher education affordability and access. Gov. Beshear is a native of Dawson Springs in Hopkins County, Ky., where he was one of five children of a Baptist minister and a mother dedicated to her community. Beshear has a bachelor's degree and law degree from the University of Kentucky, where he was president of the student body. He also served as an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Army Reserve, where he also carried out certain Judge Advocate General duties. He and his wife, Jane, have been married since 1969. They own a small farm in Clark County. They have two sons Jeff, a veterinarian, and Andy, an attorney and three grandchildren. Beshear has long been deeply involved in the community, and his various civic activities include such organizations as CommerceLexington Inc. the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation, God's Pantry Food Bank, Bluegrass Tomorrow, the Kentucky World Trade Center, and the UK College of Law Visiting Committee.
