Ah, the joys of a post-hunt podcast. The feet were sore, and the schnoz was rosey after spending a few days tromping around in the Montana woods. Much knowledge was dropped in this episode by Dr. Kelsey Martin, who grew up on a nature preserve and cattle ranch that her family manages along the windswept plains of Eastern Colorado. She spent her youth working as a ranch hand and reveling in life on the prairie, a lifestyle that eventually led to her career as a large animal veterinarian. She applies the conservation values that were inspired in her at an early age by her father's work to her professional life in medicine and wildlife conservation. Her work has taken her to many places, including Peru, Australia, the Caribbean, and now Montana. She is currently working as a wildlife disease researcher and bison veterinarian. In her off-hours, she can be found enjoying the mountains around her home with her partner Kevin and their two dogs or working in her “studio” (aka garage) as a stained glass artist (@sagehornglass).Kevin Grunewald (you know the guy; he's a fan favorite) is a Montana-based conservationist, hunter, and angler. His winding career path in conservation biology has seen him teaching students how to trap bats in the outback of Australia, guiding clients to experience bear country in Alaska, dissecting Zebrafish embryos in a university laboratory in Wisconsin, and, most recently, conducting and sharing the benefits of sound, ecological land stewardship practices on nature preserves in California and Colorado. In his current role as a Land Steward with The Nature Conservancy, Kevin works and lives at a remote field station and nature preserve called Phantom Canyon. He spends his days working in, exploring, and sharing the wonder of the natural landscapes that he aspires to conserve. Kevin is too cool for Instagram, so email him with your love (kjgrunewald@gmail.com)If you dig this podcast, will you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts?

During our previous episode, we examined a series of strange incidents, which are believed to have taken place at an isolated cattle ranch, located in Eastern Colorado. But as inexplicable and fantastic as those occurrences may have been, they are in some ways eclipsed by a somewhat unrelated series of events, which are alleged to have transpired on another property. A rural homestead, which would come to be known as Clearview.ALIEN MESSAGE“Attention. We have allowed you to remain. We have interfered with your lives very little.

SPOTLIGHT Dinner in The Dark?? A New Jersey chef has launched a new promotion called “Dinner in the Dark” at his restaurants! WHAT a fun idea!? If you dare… Chef David Burke blindfolds diners before serving them a five-course meal. Approximately 12 or 15 years ago during a Wine & Food Festival, David Burke, had tried the idea and it didn't go so well. HOWEVER he never let go of the concept and has now launched these unique dinner experiences. An example of a meal is of course while blindfolded, diners have been served truffles, puree, broccoli, heirloom tomatoes, cookies, parfaits and candied fruit. The dinner costs $100. NOW we've brought you this creative concept from Chef David Burke, so now I'm going to challenge you and your cooking skills. On your next family dinner, campout or dinner party; consider doing something of the “like”. Let's see first how TRUSTWORTHY you are deemed by your friends and family, but then also, I see this as a fantastic way fun way to have a dinner conversation like no other plus puts your cooking skills to the test! NEWS TRY THAT IN A SMALL TOWN After the Jason Aldean backlash across the nation by some, according to Whiskey Riff; Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean's Nashville restaurant has removed CMT from their televisions after CMT announced it would no longer be airing Aldean's video for “Try That In A Small Town.” A statement was released by E3 Chophouse saying as follows, “We stand with Jason! E3 supports the small town because that is who we are! We will not air CMT at any of our restaurants until a formal apology is made and Jason's music video is reinstated.” We too are in support of Jason Aldean, love his hit song that has been playing on country radio for months alre ady. Whether you are from a small town or not, we all strive to be better people and live in a community that supports one another. That's America. Head to our website TheBendShow.com to watch Jason Aldean's video for his latest hit, “Try That In A Small Town.” EMBED FACEBOOK POST: https://www.facebook.com/e3chophousenashville/posts/pfbid02nPot2guQW7uCXgmLVK3qGB7dMW8Q4JQvh2cMmtoE8jKCU169JjU9PFZ3t9jzwVpil EMBED ALDEAN VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1_RKu-ESCY MATING SEASON We have all seen the jokes, the funny memes of Don't Pet the Fluffy Cow… So in case you have not heard, two national parks thus far in recent weeks have had horrific incidents regarding people and bison or buffalo. The woman in North Dakota visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park is recovering from injuries to her stomach and foot after having been charged. In Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, there a bison gored a woman. Please Please, regardless if you are familiar with these types of animals, new to the terrain, landscape or otherwise these are great reminders. It is Mating Season across many areas for a diverse group of animals, not just bison or buffalo. Big Game to livestock such as bulls breeding cattle. Do not cross fences, do not tempt fate! PUMPKIN SPICE BEER? Ready or not, those fans or haters of Pumpkin Spice; there is a new brew of another kind about to hit the shelves while it's still HOT outside. Samuel Adams has plans to kick off fall early by releasing already on August 1st a new pumpkin ale called Jack O.

Sportsmen and women, Anglers and Fishermen or women you will love this latest study! Canada's University of Guelph has wrapped up a recent studdy that reveal eating fish not just LOWERS your risk of hearing loss, it slashes your risk of going deaf! Omega-3 levels in 100,000 people were studied, found the results were astounding. People with high levels of Omega-3 and consumed fish on a regular basis; were 16 upwards to almost 20% LESS likely to have hearing issues later in life. It does not end there, the study also revealed that hearing trouble, especially when there was background noise in a room… People were 11% less likely to have trouble hearing. Impressive results, and with us all loving our sports fishing or just tossing in a line; these stats definitely show it may be worth to consider adding Fish into our weekly diet. BIG GAME HUNTING Hunter or Fall Hiker - PREP NOW Conditioning our bodies, carrying heavy packs, and building up endurance must always be a top priority when planning a successful hunt or hiking trip.

What are things that ALL folks love? Pizza. AND Fruit. And what's even more refreshing in the summer, is Fruit Pizza! Here's the idea! Bake or buy palm-size sugar cookies. Then set up your table or buffet line with first your “Sauce” aka a sweetened cream cheese spread. Can add coloring & other flavors such as strawberry if you want to a “red sauce” and then “vanilla” or “almond” to the “white sauce”. Once guests spread their sugar crust pizza cookie with the sauce have an assortment of fresh fruits, dipping sauces like chocolate or hot fudge warmed in small pots, or if an older crowd even toss in a small open flame to toast a quick marshmallow and sprinkle that combination with crushed graham crackers. All types of fruits, mixed nuts, and even fun candied sprinkles for the kids will make this an Unforgettable Fruit Pizza Fondue!

Dave Aiken is a DWFI faculty fellow and a professor of agricultural economics at UNL's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. His research areas include water law and policy, energy law, environmental law and global warming. In this episode, DWFI Communications Specialist Arianna Elnes talks to Dave about water law, water legal histories, the South Platte River Compact, and context around the legislation to build the Perkins County Canal in Nebraska. As background, the South Platte River Compact was drawn in 1922 between Nebraska and Colorado. Nebraska has limited rights to the river, which flows north through Denver, across Eastern Colorado, and into Nebraska. The compact allocated 500 cubic feet per second of the South Platte River to Nebraska through a “future” Perkins County Canal. However, the canal was never finished. Now, nearly one hundred years later, Nebraska's governor has requested legislation to build it.

In the late 1970s, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) received a report from a family in Eastern Colorado. Reports detailed over a year of near-daily encounters with everything from alien encounters and UFO sightings to Bigfoot attacks and shadow people. Not to mention the almost constant back track of an unidentifiable metallic hum and the random appearance of glowing translucent boxes all over the property. With a direct tie to a regional MUFON director, this story could not get more tangled and fascinating. GOOD THING WE'RE PROFESSIONAL DETANGLERS!

The giant bathtubs off the western and southern coasts of North America contribute large amounts of heat and moisture to the continent, driving much of the climate (long-term) and weather (short-term) of the Western United States. And oceans have regular oscillations in temperature, which drives moisture delivery. Researchers looked at historical yearling cattle production data going back to 1939 at the Central Plains Experimental Range to see whether correlations existed between the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and the El Nino Souther Oscillation and cattle performance. Interactions between the PDO and ENSO have an effect on both rangeland production and livestock weight gain. Listen to this panel discussion with Drs. Justin Derner, David Augustine, and EJ Raynor to learn more.

Tomorrow we are featuring a farm couple who has started a fun and successful brewery in Eastern Colorado. I thought a look back and the opportunities surrounding hop farming would fit right in. Below are the original show notes: SHOW NOTES KEY IDEAS: I have three themes that I want to cover this week. All of them have to do with entrepreneurship: Hop Farming Business Opportunities Currently we are planting record acreage of hops in the United States and there is still a shortage for craft beer brewers. People are planting hops in small areas all around the United States to support their craft brewing hobbies or businesses. In order to use and grow the hops certain things need to be done. This creates an opportunity to serve these farmers. This is very similar to the journey that Jonathan Demcak described in episode #12. Here are some of the things they need: Poles High-Tensile Cable Twine Pitching and Drying Equipment Gorst Valley Hops (Supplier) Bine Implement (Supplier) Vertical Farming I read about vertical farming a couple of weeks ago and had to share this with you. People are using hydroponics to turn spare bedrooms and garages into farms! They are suppling restaurants with fresh greens and making money. The article I am linked to here profiles a gentleman named Dan Albert from Seattle, Washington who left his day job just to run his vertical farming business. This proves that anyone can farm. Even if you live in an apartment in the middle of a big city! Loneliness This is a bigger problem than you would think in entrepreneurship. Once you go to work for yourself a sense of isolation can creep in pretty easily. In agriculture many of the tips and tricks to combat this will not work. However, the effects of this can also be countered by being outside, in the sun, working with animals and receiving intrinsic rewards from your efforts. But, this is something that I have experienced, just in missing the hustle and bustle of things going on around me. I have tried to replicate this occasionally by doing some of my computer work at a McDonald's where people are coming and going. Here is an article that discusses some of "loneliness pitfalls" of being and entrepreneur and how to deal with them. Remember that we have to take this "non-agricultural" information and convert back to make sense in our world. Forbes.com More Places You Can Listen to Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald:
Today's episode features Simple Farms, LLC app CEO and creator, Scott Scheimer. He is also an Eastern Colorado farmer. In addition to a farm conditions update, he talks about how the app can help farmers manage their input costs and make adjustments to improve their bottom line. With input prices higher than ever, now is the time to be vigilant in making return on investment decisions. He also shares his experience with carbon credits and how carbon credits can be an extra source of revenue.
Just before the COIVD-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, Eastern Colorado was center stage for a kind of whodunnit. Ranchers, farmers — and even a few deputy sheriffs — described mysterious drones flying in the night skies. There are consistencies among the eyewitness reports that suggest these drones possessed longer flight times than most off-the-shelf UAVs. The witness testimony appeared legitimate enough to local and state law enforcement, and the FAA, to take the sightings seriously. But as quickly as the drones came, they disappeared. In a statement, Colorado homeland security officials said they've received no new complaints. As a result no additional action has been taken. Even if this Colorado/Nebraska activity turns out to be some actor that's totally innocuous, and harmless, it still is troubling that the government can't find out who it is or says they haven't been able to find out. Activity of that scale going on for at least three weeks, that is of concern. What really happened in the sky above the American Midwest in those fateful winter months, and what can the incident tell us about new technology and old fears?

After graduating HS he left Iowa to go to college at the University of Southern California on a football scholarship which then led him to play in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Joel has always had a fascination with hunting the West for elk and mule deer, but it wasn't until he moved to Colorado in 2001 that he started chasing his hunting dreams. “Colorado has just about everything that a person could wish for”. He immediately started hunting elk, waterfowl and upland birds. In 2002 he got his first pointing lab named CJ and his first bow. He started hunting the eastern plains of Colorado for mule deer. Joel had 20 seasons of failures and near misses. After learning from his mistakes and investing in better equipment he has now connected with a number of very large mule deer. “After a number of years I honed my skills. I learned how to glass, judge size, stalk etc. I have killed a number of large mule deer. Now I will pick 1 or 2 bucks a year that I chase with my bow”.

Racing Girls Rock Podcast with Judy Dominick December 4, 2021 Hello, everyone. This is Melinda Russell with Racing Girls Rock podcast. And it's my honor today to have Judy Dominic as my guest. I met Judy two or maybe three years ago. Now time flies, doesn't it, Judy? I met her at PRI in Indianapolis, and I reached out to her to see if we could have her as a guest on the podcast, because I know she's been involved in motorsports, and I want her to tell us how she got involved. But first we're going to learn a little bit about Judy, so please tell us a little bit about yourself. Whatever you're comfortable sharing, where you live, your family, pets, whatever you're comfortable with. And then we'll go from there. JUDY: I currently live in Winston Salem, North Carolina. But I was born in Colorado and lived on a cattle ranch out in Eastern Colorado when I grew up. Then I've lived all over the country ever since. Indianapolis, Kansas City. I can't even remember where else? New Mexico, whatever. And the reason truthfully, my grandfather was a rodeo rider, and my dad was a race car driver. And so I grew up in the boys locker room no matter what I did. And I decided that I liked cars better than bulls. Bulls think they're smart cars don't. So I started being with my dad and his racing, and then it just evolved. I took a few stops along the way to be a banker and to be a lobbyist. Then I owned a motorcycle dealership, and the racing started for real at that point when I bought the motorcycle dealership. MELINDA: You've had a lot of fun over the years then I can tell. JUDY: Probably too much, but that's okay. MELINDA: And you can never have too much fun, I don't think…that's important. So, Judy, you started a little bit of your story, how you got involved in motorsports. So you owned a motorcycle dealership. So how did that lead then to you getting involved. I know you've been very involved in motorsports for a number of years. How does that go from owning a motorcycle dealership to getting involved in motorsports? JUDY: Well, my motorcycle dealership allowed me access to some various kinds of motorsports in Colorado, world racing, sidetrack, motocross. And then I had some friends who owned a midget and a sprint car that I sponsored. And then a friend of mine named John Harmsen owned Jolly Rancher Candy. And I grew up with the Vandermere family because my dad raced against Johnny Vandermere up Pikes Peak and in different what they called big cars then, which are now champ cars. Well, champ dirt cars. And John Harmsen called me one day and he said, I have a driver I want you to meet and see if you think I should sponsor him. And I said, Why me? And he said, because you have good instincts. And I said, okay, so I drove down to Jolly Rancher. I was in Boulder, my dealership was in Boulder and Jolly Rancher was in Westminster, Colorado, and I walked in John's office, and there sat John Force… John Force, 1983; John Force, who hadn't washed his hair or put on a clean T-shirt or owned a decent pair of tennis shoes. From there, I ended up being John's very first PR person. I'm very glad that it worked out well for Jolly Rancher. He won the Mile High Nationals that year, and they went on to sponsor him on the Western Tour. And he won two out of the four because that's when they went from Denver to Seattle to Portland to Sonoma. And then Mr. Harmsen was so impressed with that, he said, Well, what else can we do? And I said, USAC Midgets needs a title sponsor. So Jolly Rancher Candy became the title sponsor of USAC Midgets and my friends from Fort Collins with their midget, we all went to Turkey Night at Ascot and finished second. But I was the representative for Jolly Rancher and got to give away a ton of candy and found out that I really liked that. That was a lot of fun. I had a motorcycle road race team. So John sponsored my motorcycle road race team in the AMA, and we did pretty well for a privateer team. And along the way, I met this kid named, Well, I did some work in the truck series with Carelli's because they were from Denver. Rick Carelli and Kathy Carelli and Marshall Chesrown owned the truck when he left us at what was then the Winston West Tour, and they started in the NASCAR truck series at that point and went to winter heat out in Tucson for four races with them and Remax. And through them, I met some other people. I met Jeff Gordon's stepdad, and he introduced me to some people. And eventually I met this guy named Tony Stewart. And we were on the track just before the start of a race at IRP. I was introduced to Tony, and he looked at me. And he was that skinny little kid with all that black curly hair. And he and Kenny Irwin started on the front row. So Kenny Irwin saundered over and Tony said to me, he said, You're going to want to know me someday. And Irwin says, no, you don't want to know him. You want to know me. And I ended up working basically with the both of them for quite some time until Kenny went to NASCAR as well. And then he had his own PR. But then I was with Tony, and I was a business manager and his PR person. And chief babysitter for seven years. So that's kind of what started the whole thing. And then I went from Tony, did some contract work for Weld Wheels and for some different entities and different kinds of racing World of Outlaws, USAC Silver Crown, different places that I really loved. And Chevrolet called and said do you want a job? And I said, really? And they said we are going to start a factory truck program in the NASCAR truck series. And one of our drivers, Jack Sprague, really wants you to be a PR person. And we want you to manage the program, which is where I met my business partner. And we want the two of you to manage it. And the rest is history. Sam and I hit it off. We became business partners. We did that program, and then it has grown. Our involvement then has grown from four factory Chevrolet trucks to covering NASCAR, Indy Car, IMSA and NHRA for Chevrolet and for Shell. And that's where we are today at trackside. And we have six employees. And we do all of the track side PR for those two companies in those four series. MELINDA: And there's no downtime. Is there really? JUDY: No, but it's okay. I don't know what else I would do. I really don't. I'm very blessed to have a great family in Minnesota, two brothers and lots of nieces and nephews, tons of friends. But I don't have children or grandchildren or any of that. So my family is at racetracks everywhere. So I've been lucky enough to help my family when I can and then have been lucky enough to work with some amazing, amazing drivers and all of those series throughout the years. And I feel unbelievably blessed because every year, I think, can it get any better? And somehow it does. Most of my focus now is on sports cars and Indy Car, but I still have my fingers NASCAR and NHRA. MELINDA: And when you say about family, I hear this over and over from people. It's just such a family. And it's funny how you think that racing is huge. But when you really start to meet people like I met someone in Phoenix this weekend after the race, we went somewhere to get a bite to eat. A guy and his son had NASCAR shirts on. Daniel Hemrick had just won the race. And what a great race. JUDY: It was an amazing race. MELINDA: And what a great finish. And so I struck up a conversation like I always do. And we start to talk. And the young man and I have a lot in common because we're both media people. And then the dad says, do you know so and so and I looked at him… I said, yes. And then we start talking and we know several people the same. And it's amazing and surprising and wonderful all at once that you can just strike up a conversation because it said NASCAR on his shirt, and then find out you have mutual friends. And now the son goes to school here in Arizona, which is where I am for the winter. And we're going to get together. So now I have more friends and family, and I love it. I absolutely love it. JUDY: Well, that's how we grow the sport. My goal has always been since I started in this because when I started in this with Tony and was really thrust into the middle of the NASCAR garage at the height of it, because I took Tony from USAC from winning his Triple Crown in USAC. To Indy cars, winning the pole for the Indy 500, coming within 29 laps of winning the Indy 500 before he blew an engine to what was Busch Series then and probably the prettiest race car I've ever seen anybody drive, which is that number 44, Shell Pontiac, the black and white and red and yellow one, and then to Cup with Home Depot and Joe Gibbs Racing. And when I came in there, there were very few women. There were not even a lot of women in the media. And you had to prove yourself every minute of every day, and you had to stay above the fray to make sure that you were respected for why you're there and what you're doing and the job you do. My goal has always been to make it better than it was when I got there and make it easier for young women, not only young drivers, young women to come in and be accepted and have the opportunities. But not every woman can be a driver. They can be a person. They can be an engineer, they can be in marketing, they can be in public relations, and they all need to have the opportunity to excel at it because they have a passion for the sport, no matter what series it is, whether it's the dirt track at Houston or Knoxville or Daytona or Indy. It's the same game. MELINDA: When I talk to gals, of course, a lot of them, especially if they're younger, what is it you want to do? What's your goal? They want to be the next World of Outlaws champ or the NASCAR, this or that. And I always talk to them, especially if they're younger, still in high school or whatever, and I'm like, I love your passion. But what else do you enjoy? Because everybody can't be the driver? We need engineers. We need tire specialists. We need PR and bookkeeping and travel and all the things for those teams. And to be realistic, we have to think, what else can I do? What's my plan B if I can't be the driver and that's something that I try to encourage and talk to women about. It takes so many people to put that driver on the track. And if you're not the guy or the gal driving the car, how can you stay involved in motorsports? For me, I never had the desire to be the driver. My son was a race car driver, my granddaughter's drive race cars. I never had that desire. But I love the marketing and the PR and the people I meet. It takes all of us, doesn't it? JUDY: Yeah, it does take the village and what I always tell these young ladies and young men, for that matter, the young boys, who they go, I want to be the next Tony Stewart or I want to be the next now Kyle Larson or the next Elio Castroneves or the next Scott Dixon or John Force pick a sport, and I always tell them, why don't you be the first authentic you? MELINDA: I love that. JUDY: The most important thing is to be authentic, to be yourself. The way people will connect with you is if you're real, if you aren't real, if you put on a facade that you can't maintain. And unfortunately, you and I both we've been here a day or two. We've seen drivers that flame out because they can't keep up the image that they think they should be or who they think they should be. Then you look at somebody like Elio Castroneves, who has done this for the better part of 30 years. He wouldn't want anybody to know that, but you look at his age and realistically, and he does it at the same level he's always done it. And he is because the Elio that you watch on TV, that exuberance, that passion, that fire, that everything is the same Elio that you'll have a cup of iced coffee or a cup of iced tea with in the paddock during the quiet time on the track. They're the exact same guy. That's why everybody connects with him and so on and so on and so on. So the young kids need to be authentic. They need to also know if this road doesn't work, try another one. Okay. If you're not meant to be Steve Kinzer or Donny Schatz who I've had the pleasure and the honor of knowing Donnie Schatz since he was 14 years old and watched him race his very first race and was fairly convinced he wasn't going to live long enough to do what he's done. But somehow he figured it all out. And he had the great support of his family, his parents and his family. But not every kid that climbs in a sprint car is going to be Steve or Sammy or Donnie or Logan Schuchart or whatever. So. Okay, that doesn't work. What about a dirt late model? What about a pavement midget in the Midwest or a non-wing sprint car where there's 360s running everywhere, where they have 30 to 50 cars in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin on a Saturday night of kids who are just trying to learn how to do it, and they do well, MELINDA: Absolutely. And I love what you say about being authentic, because that doesn't just apply to race car drivers. That applies to everyone. The people that you know and you like and you connect with it's typically because they're real. I say that they're real. They're who they are. Day-- night, Christmas Day, July 4. Whenever it might be, they're the same person and know when you talk to them who you're getting. You never know sometimes with a NASCAR driver which one you're going to get on a certain day… JUDY: There's a couple of them that come to mind. MELINDA: I know. I probably have some KB stuff somewhere here. I mean, I have several favorite drivers. He just happens to be one of them. But you never know which one you're going to get. Which one you're going to get. And yet there are other drivers. Chase Elliott. He's pretty much the same guy every day unless you ruffle his feathers. JUDY: Yeah. Martin Truex is the same thing. Martin Truex is the most true to himself human being I've ever met. He is. And he has a heart bigger than is measurable because he stayed with Sherry. He's been with her by her side as she goes through all of that. He's a big supporter of Sherry Strong and helping raise the money for the charity. And yet he is the same guy. One of the Corvette drivers that I've had the pleasure to work with is a young man named Antonio Garcia, and he drives the number 3 Corvette. And Antonio is the most soft-spoken, quiet, he's a Spaniard, but he's very soft spoken, very quiet young man. He gets in that car and he's like a transformer. He pushed that shield down and locks it, and a whole, another human being comes out behind the wheel. I mean, not bad, just unbelievable talent, aggression when he needs to have it controlled aggression. He's a winner. He's a champion. He takes the helmet off, pulls the shield up, takes the helmet off, and he's back to the really quiet, soft-spoken guy. There are those who do that very very well. They do what they need to do in the car. But on the outside of the car, they're people. They're real people. MELINDA: They are real people. And that's the thing that NASCAR fans and people that watch the sport put people on a pedestal. And that's not fair, either, because they are real people and they have real lives. And they have ups and downs just like you and I do. And we say, oh, well, don't take your work home and don't take your personal life to your job. That's a lot of times impossible. And so we don't always know what's happening in their personal lives behind the scenes. And I always try to think where they might be coming from because everybody has bad days, right? Whether it's driving the car or working with the fans or whatever. But we forget that they are real people with real lives, with real problems, and we shouldn't put them on a pedestal and expect them to be perfect or so much better than, yes, they set an example for thousands of other young men and women. JUDY: Yeah, they do. MELINDA: I get that. But we also have to remember that they're human beings JUDY: And they deserve the room to be human. You don't know if someone's grandma is ill, right? You don't know these things about them. They are subject to the same things we are. We're 4000 miles from home and the neighbor calls and says your burglar alarm just went off. Well, they probably have the same thing happening. They're just lucky enough to maybe have caretaker who can go over or a good friend. But they are. And the person who has shown us that more. I mean, a lot of drivers are really good at that. But I tell you, one person this year that I've had the absolute honor to work around and get to know is Roman Grosjean. And here is a man who looked like the Phoenix rising out of the fire by all intents and purposes, he probably should have died in that F1 crash last year, the last race, but he didn't, for the reasons that none of us know and probably will never know. He has come to America. He has turned into an incredible Indy car driver. The fans love him. He is gracious to them. He is adorable to be around. The media love him. And last year he was an F1 driver, and we all would have said, oh, he's an F1 driver, don't pay any attention to him. Not true. He is an amazing human being. And when he started telling us all stories about buying the motor home and putting his wife and kids in the motorhome, once they got done with school in France and going all over the country in the motorhome so they could decide where they wanted to live in America. And it was adorable. It was all the things that we forget. It's like Scotty McLaughlin does America. It's like he's in awe of Bed, bath and beyond. I'm like, I go into Bed, Bath and beyond and go, oh, my, I got to go. But Scotty McLaughlin says, Judy, we don't have this where I come from. And Roman Grosjean talked about going to Mount Rushmore and how staggeringly beautiful that was for him. And he'd never seen anything like that. And I'm thinking to myself, you have the Eiffel Tower in the arc de triumphe and a few, million other things, not to mention Longlaw, but he was absolutely mesmerized by Mt. Rushmore. So it's been really fun because we all got to get back, brought back to the reason we do this. And then you see somebody like Pato and Rinus who win with such joy...such joy! And you went, oh, yeah, that's why we do this. Oh, yeah. That's why we do this. MELINDA: One of the reasons that he might find joy in the motorhome and all that is because he did survive. And he has a different outlook on things and the fact that the people drove in the motorhome looking for where they want to live, what a smart thing to do. JUDY: I know I would have never thought of that. MELINDA: I would have never thought of that. And then, like Mount Rushmore, how many people that live in the United States and maybe even live within 3 hours let's say of there have never been there. Because you tend to take for granted the things that are close by. JUDY: Or that they'll always be there. MELINDA: It'll always be there. I live less than an hour from Lake Michigan. And do you know, it's been three summers since I've even been there. JUDY: And it's such a beautiful, but we all do that. So it's really fun to watch in all of these series. We get a Indy car and sports car, but it's happening in every NASCAR. It's happening a little bit in NHRA. These people coming in from I wanted to try this. I don't know if I can do it or not. And the people they remind you that there is a reason why we are all still so passionate about it. So it makes me want to work even harder to make sure there is a place for this to go on. After I've finished running around to 30 race tracks a year, I'm proud of what I've accomplished, and I'm proud of the people that I've worked with. Some of them, I put my face in my hands and went, oh, my gosh, it's been a great ride. And I'm very very grateful to a lot of people who gave me a chance when they didn't have to. MELINDA: Well, especially, like you say, when you started a woman doing what you did or anything in motorsports was pretty much unheard of. And you broke that. You broke through and you showed them that it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman doing that job. It's about credibility. It's about knowledge. It's about being capable of doing what you need to do. And that's the same as a racecar driver. I talked to so many girls. I'm like the car doesn't know if you're a girl or a boy. Just get in and drive. JUDY: Yeah. And do your best. And if it doesn't measure up to where you think it should take a step back and go, is it me? Is it the car? Do I just not know enough and keep in mind that there are some of these guys that have been at it of 20 years. Yeah. Donnie Schatz has ten Championships and ten Knoxville National wins because he worked hard at it. Same with Sam and Steve and all those guys. But I do have one story that's really funny. I think it's funny. When Tony was in the Busch series, we were running Indy car because he had to fulfill his contract to John Menard. And finish out his Indy car contract, which was actually IRL then, but he had to honor his contract to John Menard and then also run the Busch series for Joe Gibbs. So we were getting toward the end of the season. We were done with IRL, and he was going to run the last, like, ten, eight races of the NASCAR Busch Series. So I went to the NASCAR trailer, and I knocked on the door, and Mike Helton came to the door and he looked at me. And he said, who are you? And I introduced myself, and I had the Shell shirt on then because he was in the Shell in the Busch Series. And I said, I was just wondering if I could speak to you and Mr. Hunter about Tony Stewart, because he's going to come to Cup next year. And he's not Jeff Gordon. He's Tony Stewart. But he has an incredible amount of talent. And I just want everybody to give me a chance. And I'm going to make sure that he is worthy of it and he earns what I can control. But I'd like for you guys to know that. And Mike Helton, who is giant. He is such a big man. He towers over me, almost twice as tall as I am. And he looked at me and he said, wow, I said, what? He said, I don't think I've ever had anybody ask to come into the red trailer. I said well, Dale Senior comes here all the time. That's Dale Senior. That's a whole different thing, he said. I don't think I've ever had anybody else ask to come in. So I went in. I sat down with Mr. Helton, Mr. Hunter and Bill Jr. He was still alive. And I told him I asked him to give him a chance. And I told him that he might not be the easiest to work with because he was very passionate about what he did. And I would work on that as best I could, but to give him a chance because I thought he would be good for NASCAR and that he would do something. Of course, he and Robbie Gordon get in a fist fight the first day of practice at Daytona. And I'm like and Helton says to me He's going to be good huh. And I went, oh, but we survived. And he did. And when I was at his Hall of Fame dinner, I was invited. I was honored to be invited there. And Mr. Helton was there. And he was with a group of people. And I was walking by, and he said, you aren't going to say, Hi. You were talking to all these nice people. And he said come here and he put his arm around and he said, I want you to meet Judy Dominic. He said, She's the one we have to blame for Tony Stewart. If she hadn't brought him here, we wouldn't have to put up with all that. I looked up at him. Really? He went, no, he said, thank you. He was everything you said he would be. And then some, sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and just hope that you have to believe enough in yourself to know that you can do it. You have to be authentic. And I was me. I went in there with, like, oh boy this could go whatever way and I could be in big trouble. But if you don't take that leap, you don't ever know what might happen. MELINDA: Oh, that's so true. And one of my husband's favorite things is, what's the worst that could happen? They could say, no, we don't want to talk. There's 100 things they could have said. And look at the fun and the joy and the excitement and the drama that Tony Stewart brought to NASCAR. Yeah. There's never going to be another Tony Stewart. JUDY: No. And people say to me, Well, Kyle Larson is as good as Tony. And I said in some aspects, he might be a better driver. But what he doesn't have.. his fire is just channeled way differently. And while he's going to win a lot of races and a lot of Championships, but he will never bring the fireworks with it. He will just be that guy who puts his helmet on and goes and does it better than anybody else. One of these days, I was just like, we never thought Jeff Gordon had a temper. And we never thought Jeff Gordon got mad. And all of a sudden, we're looking at Jeff Gordon running over the hoods of three cars to get to Kevin Harvick, at Bristol and try to beat the tar out of him… and get in a fight with Jeff Burton on the back stretch at Charlotte. And you go, so maybe in Kyle somewhere, there's just a teeny bit of fire. But there's a ton of talent, talent that we haven't even tapped yet. MELINDA: We haven't even seen the scope of the talent in that young man. And I followed him when he was in NASCAR before, and I always just thought he's so versatile. And I like that about him that he drove a lot of different kinds of cars and everything. But the thing about Tony Stewart, when he sat down to press conference, we never knew what he was going to say. JUDY: And I would just be standing in the back of the room like this, and the media would turn around and they go, Way to Go Judy! So they would goad him and they did it on purpose. And he would take the bait sometimes. And it was like, we'd walk in and I'd go now, don't let them. No, I won't. I got this. I got this. But it was okay. It was fun. I would not trade one minute of the seven years with that man for anything. No, or any of the other drivers I've worked with, and now it's a whole new crop. Indy car is so fun now because we have all these kids that are just crazy fast. And they don't know what it feels like to show the wall at 240 miles an hour yet. Hopefully they don't find out. But, I mean, we have ten kids under the age 25 that are rock stars. And the old guys are going hmmmm where did they come from? But ten years ago, they were those kids. What's going on in racing right now is awesome. Chevrolet has the youngest average age of drivers in NASCAR. So between all of our teams, we have the youngest group of drivers, which is exciting, because that means long term. We can do something, and hopefully they'll do something. MELINDA: Didn't Chevrolet let's plug them a little bit. Didn't they just win the manufacturer's Championship, correct? JUDY: Yes. Drivers and owners in cup. They won the manufacturers in Xfinity as well. And we're about to win manufacturers, drivers and team and IMSA with Corvette Racing, and they'll finish one, two. And then Cadillac, we've won the manufacturers. But it's going to be a heck of a battle down to see whether we can get the driver's title and the owner's title. The 31 Wheeling Cadillac is going to have to beat that Acura of Michael Shank Racing with Ricky Taylor in it. And so it will be a great race at Motul Petit this weekend. Yes. And Brittany Force is second in the points going into top fuel for going into the final. And then Greg Anderson and Erica Enders are 38 points apart, and both of them going for their fifth title. Greg is already the winningest pro stock driver ever. So he broke all Warren Johnson's records except titles, but he broke all the rest of them. But he has more wins than Warren. Nobody else has more wins than Greg in pro Stock. So even Bob Flynn, I thought maybe Bob Flynn would have more wins, but he didn't. But they didn't run as many races back then either, when Glenn was racing. So we have a lot that can happen this weekend, too. MELINDA: I listen to Sirius radio and I'm pretty sure it was there that I heard a gentleman from Chevrolet. JUDY: That was Mr. Campbell. He's my boss. Big boss. MELINDA: Okay. All right. That was telling about their success and everything. He said that our goal every year is to win the manufacturer's Championship and everything. I loved hearing from that side of it. It's not just the racers, it's the people like him, and it means a lot to the whole team, everybody involved. And I can't say enough about motorsports and how much I love it. JUDY: Well, you do a great job with this. And I know the women in racing appreciate everything you do. And thank you so much for doing this. And don't give it up. It has such value. You just don't know how much value it would have. MELINDA: I appreciate that, especially coming from you, because that's a huge compliment, Judy. That really makes my day. JUDY: Well, thank you for having me. MELINDA: Absolutely. So is there anything I haven't asked you about that you'd like to share. I just don't want to leave anything out. You're so fun to talk to. JUDY: Well, when you go back when I had the motorcycle dealership, I had an AMA race team, and I had 2-750 super bikes, and I had a 1000 CC endurance bike, 2-600 super sports and a TZ 250. And we went and ran the AMA circuit as a privateer team, which would be like being Furniture Row Racing in Cup. And against all the factory Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, you know. And then when I was in the motorcycle business, I had Yamaha, BMW and Ducati in my dealership, and I was fortunate enough to have been voted the President of the US Dealer Board for each one of those brands because I was the only female that owned a dealership. And Yamaha, the Japanese were a little like what?... the Italians loved it, which was sometimes problematic, but we worked our way through it. And the Germans were like, seriously?... but when I sold a lot of motorcycles for them, then they got over the fact that I was female and I loved motorcycle racing. I still to this day, I sit and watch Moto GP, or I tape it if I'm not home because that's such a skill set that if you're not around it, you don't understand the skills that go into that. And those not that to take anything away from anybody that races on four wheels. But they have two wheels in road racing or flat track. They have a one inch patch of tire on the track surface, and they have two wheels, and they are the roll cage. There is no roll cage around them. So when it goes wrong, it usually goes really wrong. But on the other hand, when it doesn't, it's the most amazing thing to watch. And so I've stayed attached to that. I was really lucky back in the day to have been the only importer in the United States for Maverick wheels, Marc Senior Wheels and Brembo Brakes for motorcycles. And I sponsored Team Roberts in what was then called 500 CC Motor GP for Wayne Rainey and Eddie Lawson and John Krasinski and Kenny Roberts Jr. And to this day, I get to call Wayne Rainey, a friend, and I'm really proud of that. He and I had a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun together, as well as all the kids that road for me. And I don't know, I love midgets. I love Sprint cars. It's hard to do when you do the job I do. You have to make sure that you don't walk over the fan line. But when I go to a motorcycle race or I go to a dirt track or I hopefully get to go someday to an F1 race. But if I don't, I'm watching on my television. I geek out. And I am the biggest race fan on the planet. When I do my job, you can't do that. You have to maintain that distance of professionalism, and sometimes things go awry that you have to respond to. So you have to be a professional. But I am still a huge fan of racing. And the day I don't work on a pit road or a pit lane or whatever. I will go, and I will cheer my brains out. Just like all the rest of the grandstands. MELINDA: I have an interesting story to share with you. So I met my second husband, and he was a big motorcycle fan. He had ridden motorcycles since he was little. He has a Yamaha FZ1 still to this day, it has, I don't know, 77,000 miles on it. JUDY: Wow. MELINDA: And it's as good today as it was when he bought it. It's a great bike. But anyway, so when I met him, he said, the fun is not on the back. And so one day on my lunch hour I went to the Secretary of State's office, and I took the written test, and I passed it. I had my little card so I could ride with a seasoned driver. So I took it home and showed it to him. And he was blown away. And I was 50 years old. And we went and bought a little Honda 250 or something little to learn how, so I could learn how to ride, then I had a Honda Shadow. And then I had Honda VTX 1300R. And I rode it and I had that until I had back surgery. And I just couldn't drive the bike anymore. But we used to go to Mid Ohio to the motorcycle races. Year after year, best track. I bet, ten years in a row we went there. It was like the thing we looked forward to the most the whole summer. Nikki Hayden, the Bostrom Boys, Miguel Duhamel. JUDY: Yeah. Miguel, MELINDA: We absolutely loved those guys and going there.And fast. Oh, my goodness. It was just I had to go at 06:00 a.m. To put your thing up. So you'd have shade. It was just our favorite thing to do. And now we're into all kinds of racing. But that still is where our hearts are. JUDY: It's hard to shake it. Those things… you sit there and listen to them go through the gears and that thing screaming at 14, 5, 15 thousand RPMs. It's really hard to beat that. MELINDA: And Michael Jordan had a team. Yes, he did at the time. And then when he became involved in NASCAR, I had people say, wow, he's interested in racing. I said, oh, he's been in racing a long time. You just didn't know it because you didn't follow motorcycle racing. And I really never had a lot of fear. And so the one time at Mid Ohio, they were offering you could pay to ride on the back, and they would take you around the track. Right. And how many fast? I don't know. But it was fast. And so I kept saying to my husband, I want to do it. I want to do it. He said, go do it. As I start to walk over to where you go to pay your money, it starts to rain. I never got to do it. And I said, God was telling me I was too old. I shouldn't be doing it. So it caused the rain to come. I would have loved it. I would have loved to do that to ride on this. JUDY: Yeah, I was writing a piece because I did a lot of writing also during the motorcycle days, the truck series days. Then it became I couldn't do any. I didn't have time. I did a radio show for a while out of Denver, Colorado, and I loved that. But I was doing a piece for Yamaha's International magazine. And it was when the whole Moto GP was at Laguna Seca. And so they asked me, do you want to ride around the track? And I said, with who? And they said, With Johnny K? And I said, yeah, I will. And they looked at me and I said, how am I supposed to write a story about what they do if I don't? I've watched them for years and years and years. I buy all the stuff that makes them do what they do for my guys and other guys. But I don't know how they do what they do. MELINDA: I know. JUDY: So they put me on. It was a super bike. It wasn't his GP bike because they weren't that dumb. And it was a world Superbike, and it was a Yamaha, but I'm on the back because they only have the one little saddle. So he said, okay, squish down in here as far as you can behind me. And so then back then, we have the quickfills on the tank where the quickfill dropped into the tank. So I pushed it in and I held on with my fingers like that and have my arms around him. And I had full leathers on my helmet, my boots, my gloves, the whole thing knee pads and everything. And he said, okay, just move with me. I said, no problem. So we take off out of the pits, head up that Hill at Laguna Seca,and I'm thinking to myself, Who's going to call my mother and tell her I died on a motorcycle? No, I did the right thing. So we went the first lap and came down through the corkscrew and I'm screaming at the top of my lungs because it is the coolest thing I've ever done. Oh, my God. We pulled down Pill Lane, and he said, he turns around. He goes, Are you okay? I said, do another one. He looked at them all and they went, you want to do it? And he said, She's perfect. She knows exactly what to do. He said she leaned when I leaned, she did everything. And he said sometimes they get people on there that go all around and they'll just back it off and wick it down and just coast around. And so we took another lap. And I will never forget that that was the most incredible ride. The second best ride I probably ever had was in a stock car with Dale Earnhardt, Sr. at Daytona. We were giving some customer rides, and he looked at me and he went, hey, I said, yes. You want to go for a ride? Yeah. And he looked at my boss and boss said, if she's dumb enough to go ride with you, go ahead. And I got in. And he did everything he possibly could to try to scare me because I'm watching the third turn wall coming at him. And we're only like this far from the back stretch wall, I swear. And it was a hoot. And then the other best ride I ever had was in a Corvette with Juan Pablo at Indy. And that was just crazy. He is so crazy. good, it's unbelievable. Really. MELINDA: I'm so jealous of your experiences because I would have gotten in all three of those rides without thinking, because I just don't have the fear. I mean, when you get on and you're going that's a different story. But I just would not have hesitated because it's just, oh, my gosh. I can't even imagine. JUDY: I've been very, very blessed. I've been very lucky. I worked hard, but I'm grateful for every opportunity I've had. And I'm not done yet. I'm not done yet. MELINDA: Oh, I know you're not. I still see the fire in your eyes. JUDY: It's there… Yeah. I'm sad that this coming weekend is the last weekend. Jeez. But then January will be here before we know it and we'll be scrambling to get to Rolex, right? MELINDA: It just goes so quick. 36 races of NASCAR went by in a flash, and we had two weeks off for the Indy race, Judy, in Nashville this year. JUDY: Awesome. So awesome. Amazing. MELINDA: It was amazing. And I've got my tickets for my first Indy. JUDY: Good. MELINDA: So I'm so excited about that. You know what? I'm not sure because I reached out to somebody that I know, but I'll let you know where they are. They're good seats because I had a connection that I met with this. JUDY: Well, we do. Yeah. There's one thing about the Indy 500. All of the other races, the big races in any series are amazing. But there is just something about the start of the INDY 500 that you don't see any place else. You don't feel it when that place is full of 300,000 plus people, the drivers feel it. Everybody feels it. It's just crazy how fun it is. MELINDA: Well, I'm told that the pre-race, the whole pre-race thing is worth everything to go. I can't wait. JUDY: Kleenex in your pocket, though, because some of them make you cry. It's just so touching. Some of the things they do. I'm so good about honoring the history and honoring those who came before us. They're very good about that. MELINDA: Well, Judy, I could talk to you for hours, but I know that you probably need to go have dinner and we will definitely see each other again. JUDY: I hope so. MELINDA: I'm so honored and pleased that you agreed to be on my podcast. I love the stories you've told and your passion and what you've shared, and we're going to have to do this again because we didn't get through near the stories I'm sure. JUDY: No, we didn't. But I'd love to. Maybe we can talk again before the season starts next year, and we can see what we got in front of us with the new cars. All right. Well, thank you so much. MELINDA: Thank you, Judy. You have a good evening. JUDY: You, too.

Ryan Noble, a rancher in Eastern Colorado, joined me to discuss how they make use of the information contained in EPDs. We talk about what the numbers mean and what numbers matter most when trying to organize a profitable ranching business.
Today on Colorado Edition: We hear how monsoon patterns and thunderstorms contribute to flash floods, like the ones last week in Glenwood and Poudre Canyon. We also get an update on unidentified aerial phenomena spotted in Eastern Colorado last year. Plus, we explore how Colorado mountain towns are weathering a “perfect storm” of a housing crisis, worker shortages and waves of tourists. And, we learn the results of a study on a Denver program that gave people experiencing homelessness a permanent place to live and access to extensive social services.
This week we have world record owner Mike Tiernery. He rode up Mauna Kea in eleven hours, forty-four miles, nearly 14,000 vertical feet on one 29-inch wheel. That's right, a unicycle!

Endurance News: USA TRIATHLON ANNOUNCES 2020 U.S. OLYMPIC TRIATHLON TEAM USA Triathlon today announced its 2020 U.S. Olympic Triathlon Team, comprised of the five athletes who will represent the United States in triathlon competition at this summer's Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Kevin McDowell (Geneva, Ill.) and Katie Zaferes (Cary, N.C.) were newly announced to the roster, joining Summer Rappaport (Thornton, Colo.), Taylor Knibb (Washington, D.C.) and Morgan Pearson (Boulder, Colo.), who were already qualified. The five members of the Tokyo-bound team have a wealth of experience and success on the international race circuit, with a combined 32 World Triathlon Championship Series medals, 30 World Triathlon Cup medals and 12 World Triathlon Mixed Relay Series medals between them. The road to Tokyo 2020 For the first time in history, our triathletes will compete across three medal events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The long journey to be among those chosen to compete for Olympic glory begins in Japan this weekend, at the 2018 ITU World Triathlon Yokohama. In just over two years' time, 55 men and 55 women be going for Olympic gold in the individual events and then again in country-based teams of four in the Mixed Relay. The qualification period starts on 11 May 2018, and will finish the very same day in 2020. “Tokyo is going to be an extremely important event not only for the International Triathlon Union, but also for the history of our sport and for the athletes competing there”, said ITU President and IOC member, Marisol Casado. “The Olympic Games is the pinnacle of the sport, and to give our athletes the opportunity to earn two medals in the same Games is something of which we should all be very proud. With male and female athletes competing together as a team we will show the world just how committed triathlon is to gender equality, and how our athletes can shine and perform under any circumstances, both individually and as a team”, she said. “For this Qualification period, the key for the National Federations will be to find the balance in the focus of the individual and mixed relay participation in the next two years. It will require a real team effort from all the Federations”, explained Gergely Markus, ITU Sports Director. There will be various ways to qualify for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and earn one of the 55 spots available. As a new addition to the previous qualification criteria, there will be Mixed Relay events counting towards the qualification. The top seven countries on the Mixed Relay Olympic Qualification Ranking as of March 31, 2020, will secure two men's and two women's quota places each. Three further countries will be awarded two men's and two women's places at a qualification event for the top 18-ranked countries (not including those already qualified) to be held between 1 April and 11 May, 2020. Our Olympic Games hosts Japan are already guaranteed their four places in the Mixed Relay. Via these three methods, 22 places will have been secured, with a further 26 places then available through the Individual Olympic Qualification Ranking. For those countries with 2-2 places already secured by any of the previous qualification pathways, the top 2 athletes in both genders will not be considered in this ranking. Countries with three or more athletes among the top 30 of this ranking will be able to secure a third quota place, otherwise there will be a maximum two per country. The overall Olympic eligibility criteria for any athlete will be finishing in the top 140 of the Individual Olympic Qualification Ranking. The “new flag” rule will be applied again for the qualification for Tokyo 2020. The countries that will be eligible for those places will be the ones which athletes' are at the best ranking position from the continent on the ITU World Ranking from those countries which didn't secure any place by any means of the above. Last but not least, a maximum of two invitations will be awarded to countries entitled to receive such places and with eligible athletes according to the IOC criteria and who are represented in the top 180 of the ITU World Ranking. It is important to remember that quota places will be earned by the countries, not the individuals. It remains the decision of each National Olympic Committee which athletes are chosen to take them. Athletes will not have to compete in the individual events of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to be part of the team of the Mixed Relay event, but their country's quota would not be increased in such cases. U.S. Olympic Trials: Katie Ledecky wins 200, 1500 meter freestyle titles Katie Ledecky secured two Olympic bids on Wednesday at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb., winning the 200-meter freestyle and cruising in the 1,500-meter freestyle to qualify in those events for for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. A little more than an hour after winning the 200 freestyle in 1:55.11, Ledecky — the world record holder in the 1,500 — swam the fastest 1,500-meter time in the world this year (15:40.50) for victory. Erica Sullivan was second at 15:51.18. Ledecky has the top 10 fastest times in history in the women's 1,500 freestyle. She previously won the 400-meter freestyle final on Monday. Ledecky has won six medals at the Olympics (five gold, one silver), including five at the 2016 games. What's New in the 303: Check Out Upcoming 3 Day MTB Stage Race in Winter Park–Qualifier for Nationals Rattler Racing has been around awhile just coming off a successful new gravel race in Eastern Colorado, the Mad Gravel. Now their focus will turn to a three day mountain bike stage race in Winter Park June 17-19–and you will not be racing on Fathers Day if you need to keep that open for family time. Looking over the event information and having talked with Race Director Dave Muscianisi, you know the goal is to have a lot of fun, be challenged and have a lot of fun–oh wait did I say that already? Here are a few rules that foreshadow the vibe for a well organized event on some beautiful trails and roads in Grand County. Rule 1: You will smile no matter the pain. Rule 6: Be nice to the land, it never did anything to you. Rule 8: If you don't thank a volunteer, you will be publicly shamed.

This week's episode of The Stickbow Chronicles we have good friend Tony Trietch on the other end of the line. Tony is a compound hunter, but I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can learn a lot from hunter's of all walks. He's damn good at finding, and killing mature animals across the country at close range on DIY hunts. To me there's a lot of value in that, especially since he comes from back East every single fall. He'll be joining Blake this year on a hunt in Eastern Colorado, so this topic applies to that hunt very well. Lots of great info in this one.

Jacob Leis and his partner Brian Oaks are "a couple of farm kids from Eastern Colorado" who've been involved in political marketing almost since college. They founded Wintermind Group in January of 2019, after their employer "went a different direction" on an internal project that they'd been working on together. The partners' theory behind the project became the foundation for their new venture, and they grew Wintermind Group to a staff of 8 persons and revenues of over $6 Million in their 2nd year of business! I've run across a lot of unusual business value propositions and growth trajectories over my days, but this is one of the most fascinating! Their website says literally nothing about them, and the description of Wintermind Group on LinkedIn is intriguing though ambiguous - "Wintermind Group delivers digital messaging to highly engaged and tightly targeted consumer groups. Our newsletter subscribers and website readers stay closely engaged with our curated and custom content. This allows us to deliver your message to engaged consumers with a proven track record of interest and intent. Interested in learning more? Contact us here on LinkedIn."Are you interested in learning more? - then give this episode a listen, 'cause I can't explain it in the space of an episode description. It's about leveraged data and direct marketing messages that the receivers want to receive. I can say that I've been friends with Jacob for over 10 years and have never really understood what he does, but after this episode I'm closer. And it's pretty cool, and you'll get a kick out of our conversation, and hear a story about how WIntermind Group is doing great business in politics by heavily disrupting "the way things are done".

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Friday January 8th, and we’re lucky to start the day with you. Today - Colorado’s coronavirus vaccine rollout is confusing, and frustrating, but according to state leaders - it’s also working. But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we’re going back to January 8th, 1976 when Elvis Presley was in Eagle County celebrating his 41st birthday. There, he indulged in his favorite winter pastime - snowmobiling and while doing so he raised the hackles of a resident who complained to the Vail authorities. The caller happened to be Susan Ford, daughter of the president of the United States. Now our feature story. Months ago, Gov. Jared Polis, medical experts and state public health officials mapped out an orderly plan prioritizing when different groups of Coloradans can get the vaccine. But as that plan -- now twice revised -- has been put to use, the on-the-ground reality so far has been much less orderly. Colorado Sun reporters John Ingold and Erica Breunlin are here today to talk more about the rollout, and how disparities have emerged as counties, schools, and hospitals all chart their own paths. For those in the general public who are 70 and older, finding the vaccine right now will take persistence and patience. Right now, there’s not a central place for everyone to sign up. As John mentioned, people who have a regular doctor or health clinic they go to are encouraged to call those places for more information. The state is planning to organize more information on its vaccine website -- covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine. But, for at least the foreseeable future, state health leaders expect the process to be a little bumpy, with different timelines for different counties. Thanks for listening. Finally, here are a few stories that you should know about today: Rio Grande Pacific Corp. inks lease for the long-dormant rail line through Colorado high country - floating the possibility of oil cars in Browns Canyon. An Eastern Colorado billionaire landowner fights the lease plan. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has approved, for a second time, two drilling projects in Colorado after considering a court-ordered greenhouse gas assessment of the development’s environmental impacts. Colorado lawmakers are considering a new fee on a gallon of gas to boost money for road improvements. Colorado will make up to a million rapid COVID-19 tests a month available to school districts, charter schools, and private schools as part of its effort to get students back to the classroom and keep them there. Gov. Jared Polis announced the initiative Wednesday. Back in the spring, doctors hoped that antibodies from coronavirus survivors’ blood could save the sickest patients from succumbing to the virus. But, now 10 months in the pandemic, demand for convalescent plasma is low in Colorado. For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Thursday December 31st, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Today - this week Colorado was the first state to identify the variant of COVID19. Now, health officials are scrambling. But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we’re going back to December 31st 1943, the birthdate of John Denver. He earned international popularity through his mellow and romantic songs. His first hit as a songwriter was, Leaving on a Jet Plane. Now, our feature story. With the news this week that a more contagious variant of COVID-19 has been identified in Colorado, health officials are scrambling to determine how prevalent it is in the state. The variant -- known as B-1-1-7 -- was initially discovered in the U.K., but has since spread to countries across the globe. It's said to be as much as 70% more transmissible than the normal version of coronavirus. Colorado was the first state to identify the variant in the U.S. It was found in a Colorado National Guard soldier in his 20s who was deployed to a nursing home in Eastern Colorado. Senior editor Dana Coffield and reporter Jesse Paul discussed what we know about the case and the big, looming questions that remain. Thanks for listening. Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today: Colorado has reshuffled its coronavirus vaccination plan, and moved essential workers and people 70 and older up in line. A judge has dismissed a lawsuit demanding that Gov. Jared Polis take action to reduce Colorado’s prison population amid rising coronavirus cases. The Outdoor businesses is thriving in Steamboat Springs. Routt County playground is a “perfect package” for enticing and fostering innovative entrepreneurs.

John Dudley joins the podcast to give a detailed account of his successful Mule Deer Hunt in Eastern Colorado. With days of zero wind we went back to traditional mulie hunting of long hours glassing open and bedding country. Thankful that @aron_snyder came over to glass with me on the morning that my buck was spotted. This bucks safe place area was super deceptive!! Although this looks like a flat tumbleweed pasture it was actually a diverse section with a lot of unseen pockets and rolls and drainages unseen to the eye. The section was filled with 2 year old corn stalks under the dead grass, volunteer dried wheat, thorns, sand burs, dried switchgrass and head deep entanglements of tumbleweeds. It was a mess. What made it worse is when I got close enough for a shot after hours of of a stalk I just couldn’t see the bucks vitals and arrow deflection was no doubt a problem. Getting archery close to this buck once with all the other eyes in the field or bedded animals you didn’t expect was hard enough. But I had to do it THREE times over two days. The key here was just be so methodical and take advantage of the brief pockets of wind gust. Honestly this is where I praise Yoga and ability to balance while crouched and on one leg for a long period of time while I would be slowly trying to weave my foot that was up in the air down to the ground through the mess without making a noise. I’m proud of this one because it was a level 10 chess match. Nock On ArcheryKifaruBecome a Patron!
Brady Buck grew up in the blue collar town of Wray in Eastern Colorado. A wrestler as a youth, he gravitated towards other sports before heading to college at Duke University in North Carolina. He always kept up with wrestling as a fan, but something drew him to tell the story about one of the greatest upsets high school wrestling in the West had ever known. On Episode 615 of Short Time, Buck talks about chronicling the journey of Brett Roller and his quest to win a state title and stop Tom Clum from becoming the first undefeated four-time state champion in state history. It’s a lot of real life Vision Quest with a tale of two wrestlers who couldn’t be more different and how their careers went in different directions following the match.

The First Great Plains Drone Flap existed between November 2019 and January 2020. The numerous government acronym agencies couldn't explain it much less claim responsibility. The few people in rural Eastern Colorado and Western Nebraska that saw the full phenomenon said it was harmless and there was no know physical contact; only visible conformation. Who were the drone operators, why did they drift eastward, what were they looking for, where did they go, and who funded them?

Moving Iron Podcast #86 - Aaron and I talk about he The Sprayer Market, Balers, and Harvest Progress in Eastern Colorado and Wester Nebraska. @AaronFintel @casey9673 @rrjanousek
Chivington Massacre (Sand Creek Massacre)Setting the Stage* 1849 at the discovery of gold in California* Drove mass settlers across the great plains in search for riches and a better life.* When the US government realized the mass of settlers moving through the great plains and traveling through territory occupied by native American tribes, the government decided it would be in their best interest and the interests of the settlers to cut a deal with the native tribes to ensure that they would limit or prevent harassment of new settlers traveling through and allow safe passage for settlers through high risk lands.* The government held a gathering and Fort Laramie, Wyoming1. To this day, you can visit the historic Fort Laramie. It was an important stop on the Oregon, California and Mormon trails, as well as a staging point for various military excursions and treaty signings.* In 1851 many of the great plains tribal chiefs were convinced by the government to sign a treaty to protect the settlers and allow for safe passage through tribal lands.* The agreement allowed safe passage through the lands with the conditions that the settlers would not stop and attempt to seize tribal lands.* The Problems Begin:1. Although the intention of the treaty signing was good, a vast number or tribes did not sign the treaty and therefore did not agree to such terms and conditions.2. The settlers were driving away migratory animals and buffalo which was a staple for many of the great plains tribes.3. The settlers were disturbing the lands and using up natural resources and contaminating water sources4. They brought new diseases from the East which ended up killing large swaths of native population through contact with settlers5. Gold was discovered in the winter of 1858-1859 in Colorado which lay upon a portion of the tribal lands acknowledged as a no go area for settlers due to the treaty agreement; however, settlers began flooding the area in search for gold, all the while unregulated and therefore breaking the treaty conditions set forth by not settling on tribal lands.6. The lands given to them expanse between modern day most of Eastern Colorado, to Western Kansas, South Eastern Wyoming, and South Western Nebraska* These lands were designated as Cheyenne and Arapaho lands7. Modern cities like Boulder and Denver, Colorado began as mining camps because of the gold that was found in the surrounding area* The root of the problem began as the taking of tribal lands by the increasing amount of settlers in the area, breaching the original treaty the US government insisted upon.1. Thus began a systematic problem of retaliation between settlers and tribal people. They began as small isolated incidents but over time the frequency and aggressive nature of the retaliation started the slow boil which would eventually reach a critical point.2. The US government was aware of this settling of the tribal lands and yet there was no plan prepared to alleviate problems and equip the people on both sides to coexist with one another* In 1861 this new influx of settlers in Colorado put pressure on the government to find a way to extract more tribal lands thus providing more safety for the settlers; as well as, increase their likelihood of finding more natural resources through the settlers who were essentially on the front lines of excavating what the government was not able to do.1. In a sense, there was a unspoken agreement between the settlers and the government for the settlers to act as contracted prospectors. Once the natural resources were discovered it provided incentive for the government to increase the lands acquisitions in those areas.* In 1861, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs which was the government office overseeing the relationship with the Indian tribes1. Was sent to negotiate a revised treaty2. The treaty was signed at Fort Wise in 1861 was a treaty entered into between the United States and six chiefs of the Southern Cheyenne and four of the Southern Arapaho Indian tribes.3. These chiefs were convinced to give up most of their lands that had now been taken over by settlers4. This was over 90% of their lands they were relinquishing and were accepting terms to settle on a reserve in Eastern Colorado.5. Most of them understood that they were signing a treaty for peace but they didn’t know that the condition of peace was to giving up their lands.6. Many of the other tribes who did not sign the treaty were out of their minds that the few tribes had made a blanket agreement with the US government giving up their lands.7. The treaty was never approved by the Council of 44, Traditional Cheyenne society was organized into 10 major bands governed by a council of 44 chiefs and 7 military societies; the Dog Soldiers were the most powerful and aggressive of the military groups. There were also social, dance, medicine, and shamanistic societies; a given society was generally open to either male or female members but not to both.* So as a Cheyenne and Arapaho Nation refused to abide by the terms of the new treaty because of how slanted and sacrificial it was.* The settlers and US government said that because the treaty was signed and completed that the government now had legal ability to take the lands from the tribes and allow settlers to established wherever they pleased.* Now you might be wandering what else was happening during this time between 1859 and 1861:1. James Buchanan (D-Pennsylvania) was the president until March 4th, 18612. Abraham Lincoln (R-Illinois) is elected president March 4th, 1861* January 3 – American Civil War: Delaware votes not to secede from the Union.* January 9 – Mississippi becomes the second state to secede from the Union, preceding the American Civil War.* January 10 – American Civil War: Florida secedes from the Union.* January 11 – American Civil War: Alabama secedes from the Union.* January 12 – American Civil War: Florida state troops demand surrender of Fort Pickens.[1]* January 18 – American Civil War: Georgia secedes from the Union.* January 21 – American Civil War: Jefferson Davis resigns from the United States Senate. Ordinance of Secession is ratified.* January 26 – American Civil War: Louisiana secedes from the Union.* January 29 – Kansas is admitted as the 34th U.S. state (see History of Kansas).* February 1 – American Civil War: Texas secedes from the Union.* February 4 – American Civil War: Delegates from six seceded states meet at the Montgomery Convention in Montgomery, Alabama.* February 8 – American Civil War: The Confederate States of America adopts the Provisional Confederate States Constitution.* February 9 – American Civil War: Jefferson Davis is elected the Provisional President of the Confederate States of America by the Weed Convention at Montgomery, Alabama.* February 11 – American Civil War: The U.S. House unanimously passes a resolution guaranteeing non-interference with slavery in any state.* February 18 – American Civil War: In Montgomery, Alabama, Jefferson Davis is inaugurated as the provisional president of the Confederate States of America.* February 23 – President-elect Abraham Lincoln arrives secretly in Washington, D.C. after an assassination attempt in Baltimore.* February 28 – Colorado Territory is organized.* March 2 – Nevada Territory and Dakota Territory are organized.* March 4* Abraham Lincoln is sworn in as the 16th President of the United States.* American Civil War: The Stars and Bars is adopted as the flag of the Confederate States of America.* March 11 – American Civil War: The Confederate States Constitution is adopted.* All of these things are taking place in the East and what happens, the politicians in Washington, especially James Buchanan, takes advantage of the chaos that is ensuing between the war effort, states leaving the union, slavery, and an assassination on president Lincoln’s life to acquire 90% of the Great Plains territories before he is removed from office.1. And as we read prior both the Colorado, Nevada and Dakota territories are organized into the American territories in the beginning of 1861.2. The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing before it’s too late and by then what’s done is done.* The tension began increasing in 1863 because not enough provisions were given to the Indian tribes when all the best lands were taken and the settlers were butted up against the tribes.1. The rubbing and the friction began to turn into a slow burn and sparks especially exacerbated by starvation and being taken advantage by new settlers.2. If tribal members were found outside of the reservation boundaries they were freely allowed to be attacked or ransacked thus placing additional fuel to a potential explosion if the friction continued at such a frequent and alarming rte.* In 1864, government contractors contracted to provide beef to the United States military for the civil war effort, claimed that unidentified Indians attacked and stole their cattle.1. The local tribes denied the alleged accusation2. Some historians believe that it’s possible that some of the herders lost the heads of cattle and decided to blame the shortage on the local Indian tribes to be made whole by the government for their carelessness3. This was not an uncommon tactic for settlers or government contractors to claim knowing they had a high likelihood to be made whole or salvage potential losses from occurring throughout the territories.4. The reality is that no one really knows what happened.* What we know:1. We do know that this was the event which triggers the first of two major hostilities against the settlers and Indian tribes living in the territories.2. Some historians point to the skirmish at Freemont’s Orchard as the beginning of the 1864 Indian War in the Colorado Territory. While the incident was foreshadowing things to come, hostilities between Union Soldiers and the Native tribes had in reality been brewing ever since the 1862 Sioux uprising in Minnesota.3. By April 1864, a full scale war was inevitable and many peaceful tribes and settlers would soon pay with their deaths.4. The incident at Fremont’s Orchard in April 12, 1864 remains a subject of controversy, for both the Union Soldiers and tribes involved as to who initiated the fighting.5. Fremont’s orchard was located a few miles north of Denver, Colorado mining camp and South East of Camp Collins in the Colorado Territory.* Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies:1. “The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Series I, Vol. XXXIV, Part I.Page 883 Chapter XLVI. SKIRMISH NEAR FREMONT'S ORCHARD, COLO.APRIL 12, 1864. - Skirmish near Fremont's Orchard, Colo.REPORTS.Numbers 1. - Captain George L. Sanborn, First Colorado Cavalry.Numbers 2. - Lieutenant Clark Dunn, First Colorado Cavalry.Numbers 1. Reports of Captain George L. Sanborn, First Colorado Cavalry.CAMP SANBORN, April 12, 1864.SIR: Receiving information from W. D. Ripley, of the Bijou, that the Indians had been taking stock and committing depredations on theranchmen on that creek, I this morning sent Lieutenant Dunn, with 40 men of Companies H and C, to recover the stock, also to takefrom them their fire-arms and bring the depredators to this camp. This evening an expressman arrived from Lieutenant Dunn, whostates that after a hard ride they came up with a party of some 15 or 20 Indians, who, on seeing the soldiers approach, drew up in lineof battle and made all preparations for a fight, but finally sent forward one of their party to shake hands, and at the same time began todrive their stock back into the bluffs. They soon all came up and wished to shake hands. Lieutenant Dunn then demanded the stockand commenced disarming the Indians, when they turned and ran, turning and firing, wounding 4 of Lieutenant Dunn's party, 2mortally and 2 severely. Lieutenant Dunn had previously divided his party, sending a part of them across the country to intercept theIndians, and at the time of the skirmish had with him but 15 men. This much I have learned from the messenger verbally.The skirmish occurred on the north side of the Platte, 3 miles below Fremont's Orchard. The Indians were going north. It will be well totelegraph to Laramie that they may be ready, for this may be the signal of the uprising. Excuse my suggestion; will send anexpressman with further news as soon as we get it.Lieutenant Dunn has just arrived and reports that none of the men were killed; several of the Indians were seen to fall from theirhorses, but being freshly mounted, succeeded in getting them away, as the horses ridden by Lieutenant Dunn's men were tired bytheir long hunt after the Indians, having traveled nearly 80 miles. Lieutenants Dunn and Chase will proceed in the morning on theirtrail. I have sent for Gerry to act as guide, also to McWade to hurry forward our arms. These Indians were armed with a riffle, a Coltrevolver, and bows and arrows each, and were evidently on the war-path, as they did not talk anything but fight. Send down at least8,000 more cartridges for the carbines for this command.Major Downing was here when the information was received and fully concurs in the action taken.I am, sir, in haste, yours, respectfully,GEO. L. SANBORN,Captain, First Colorado Cavalry, Commanding.Colonel JOHN M. CHIVINGTON,Commanding District of Colorado.P. S. - Lieutenant Dunn says they represented themselves (the Indians) to be Cheyennes; they also had carbine pistols.G. L. S.2. Numbers 2. Report of Lieutenant Clark Dunn, First Colorado Cavalry.CAMP SANBORN, Colo. Ten., April 18, 1864.In pursuance of Special Orders, Numbers 9, dated headquarters Camp Sanborn, April 12, 1864, to take from the Indians stockconsisting of horses stolen by them from ranchmen in the vicinity of Camp Sanborn, & c., started at daylight, crossing the Platte,dividing my command, and searching the bluffs on the south side a greater part of the day, till about 3 p. m. I discovered their trailrunning in northwesterly direction toward the Platte River, when, about 4 p. m., on coming out of the sand hills, I discovered the Indianson the north side of the river, evidently intending to steal a herd of horses and mules grazing near Fremont's Orchard, which belongedto the quartermaster at Denver. Though during the day my command had marched about 75 miles over sandy hills, deep ravines, andmost of the time without water, the whole country being an arid waste, I immediately ordered the gallop and soon intercepted themfrom the herd, when, upon approaching them, I discovered a herd of horses, which they detached men to drive into the sand hillstoward the north, and placed themselves in a threatening attitude. When near enough to speak to them, Mr. Ripley, a ranchman, whohad lost all the stock he had, and who had informed us of their depredations, said that they were the Indians, and pointing to the herdsaid there was his stock. Feeling the great responsibility that was resting upon me, and not desiring to bring about an Indian was bybeing the first aggressor, I dismounted, walked forward to meet their chief, and tried to obtain the stock without any resort to violence.After requesting the chief to return the stock, who replied only by a scornPage 885 Chapter XLVI. EXPEDITION UP MATAGORDA BAY, TEX.full laugh, I told him I would be compelled to disarm his party, at the same time reaching forward as if to take the arms from one of theIndians, when they immediately commenced firing. I ordered my men to return the fire, and after a short time they fled, and I pursuedthem about 15 miles, when, finding that my horses would soon be worthless in the pursuit, I started toward Camp Sanborn, which Ireached toward midnight, when, obtaining fresh horses and Mr. Gerry for a guide, whose experience for twenty-five years with theIndians we deemed invaluable, I started again at daylight, following the trail till about noon, when it commenced storming violently,snowing and blowing, till the hills appeared to be wrapped in one volume of dust; still I pursued the trail. Though before the storm ithad become almost obliterated, it now soon became totally so, when, being unable to discover any further indication of their course, bythe advice of my guide I turned toward, about sunset, and reached camp before daylight the next morning.My command with me and engaged in the skirmish with the Indians numbered only 15 men, of whom 4 men were wounded, 2mortally and 2 severely. My men were armed with the Whitney pistol, caliber.36, and sabers. The Indians were about 25 strong whenthe skirmish commenced and were re-enforce by about 20 more. They were all well armed with rifles, navy and dragoon pistols, andthe carbine pistol, carrying an ounce ball, besides their bows and arrows. My men during the engagement behaved with greatcoolness, and evinced a degree of courage deserving more than ordinary credit. If my horses had been fresh, I am confident that thisband would never again have troubled the settlers in this vicinity.I have not yet been able to learn to what tribe these Indians belong, though their lances, shields, bows, and arrows which were leftupon the field are said by those most intimate with the Indians' character to be such as are used by the Cheyennes, though theirpeculiar method of traveling is not at all like them. We omitted to mention that we killed some 8 or 10 of the Indians and woundedabout 12 or 15 more.Very respectfully, your obedient servant,CLARK DUNN,Second Lieutenant, First Colorado Cavalry, Commanding Detach.* The perspective of the Tribal Leaders of the Cheyenne1. A group of Cheyenne warrior tribes, The Dog Soldiers, were on their way to raide their tribal enemy, The Crow Tribe, and on their way they found four stray mules.2. That night a white settler approached the Dog Soldiers camp and said that those were his mules. They Cheyenne said they would return them but that they required a gift for having found them for him.3. The settler refuses to give them a gift and upon not being able to acquire his alleged stolen mules, the settler approached his grievance to the Union soldiers stationed at Camp Collins.4. Dunn demanded that the mules be given back5. Dunn’s biggest mistake was trying to disarm the tribes by taking their rifles, pistols and native weapons away.* This, from the tribes perspective was interpreted as an act of aggression.6. There were rumors and fake reports being circulated by telegraph and print media outlets around the territory and throughout the Americas that these same Dog Soldiers attacked and killed the rancher who alleged had his mules stolen but under investigation there was no evidence to support this allegation.7. These news outlets and rumor spreading was created to stir up excitement and hysteria to eventually gain enough political and popular public opinion to eventually pave the way for the Chivington Massacre.* Enter John Evans1. John Evans, (born March 9, 1814, Waynesville, Ohio, governor of Colorado Territory, 1862–65, founder of Northwestern University(Evanston, Ill.), physician, and railroad promoter.2. A graduate of Lynn Medical College, Cincinnati, Ohio (1838), Evans practiced medicine in Indiana, where he helped establish a state hospital for the insane and served as its first superintendent (Indianapolis, 1845–48). While serving as professor of obstetrics at Rush Medical College, Chicago (from 1848), he and Orrington Lunt founded Northwestern University (1851). He went to the Colorado Territory as its second governor in 1862. In 1864 he founded the Colorado Seminary (Methodist), which later became the University of Denver. The Denver Pacific, South Park, and Denver and New Orleans railways were organized and partly financed by Evans.* Colorado Governor John Evans warns that all peaceful Indians in the region must report to the Sand Creek reservation or risk being attacked, creating the conditions that will lead to the infamous Sand Creek Massacre.* Evans’ offer of sanctuary was at best halfhearted. His primary goal in 1864 was to eliminate all Native American activity in eastern Colorado Territory, an accomplishment he hoped would increase his popularity and eventually win him a U.S. Senate seat. Immediately after ordering the peaceful Indians to the reservation, Evans issued a second proclamation that invited white settlers to indiscriminately “kill and destroy all…hostile Indians.” At the same time, Evans began creating a temporary 100-day militia force to wage war on the Indians. He placed the new regiment under the command of Colonel John Chivington, another ambitious man who hoped to gain high political office by fighting Indians.* The Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe Indians of eastern Colorado were unaware of these duplicitous political maneuverings. Although some bands had violently resisted white settlers in years past, by the autumn of 1864 many Indians were becoming more receptive to Cheyenne Chief Black Kettle’s argument that they must make peace. Black Kettle had recently returned from a visit to Washington, D.C., where President Abraham Lincoln had given him a huge American flag of which Black Kettle was very proud. He had seen the vast numbers of the white people and their powerful machines. The Indians, Black Kettle argued, must make peace or be crushed.1. When word of Governor Evans’ June 24 offer of sanctuary reached the Indians, however, most of the Indians remained distrustful and were unwilling to give up the fight. Only Black Kettle and a few lesser chiefs took Evans up on his offer of amnesty. In truth, Evans and Chivington were reluctant to see hostilities further abate before they had won a glorious victory, but they grudgingly promised Black Kettle his people would be safe if they came to Fort Lyon in eastern Colorado. In November 1864, the Indians reported to the fort as requested. Major Edward Wynkoop, the commanding federal officer, told Black Kettle to settle his band about 40 miles away on Sand Creek, where he promised they would be safe.2. Wynkoop, however, could not control John Chivington. By November, the 100-day enlistment of the soldiers in his Colorado militia was nearly up, and Chivington had seen no action. His political stock was rapidly falling, and he seems to have become almost insane in his desire to kill Indians. “I long to be wading in gore!” he is said to have proclaimed at a dinner party. In this demented state, Chivington apparently concluded that it did not matter whether he killed peaceful or hostile Indians. In his mind, Black Kettle’s village on Sand Creek became a legitimate and easy target.3. At daybreak on November 29, 1864, Chivington led 700 men, many of them drunk, in a savage assault on Black Kettle’s peaceful village. Most of the Cheyenne warriors were away hunting. In the awful hours that followed, Chivington and his men brutally slaughtered 105 women and children and killed 28 men. The soldiers scalped and mutilated the corpses, carrying body parts back to display in Denver as trophies. Amazingly, Black Kettle and a number of other Cheyenne managed to escape.4. In the following months, the nation learned of Chivington’s treachery at Sand Creek, and many Americans reacted with horror and disgust. By then, Chivington and his soldiers had left the military and were beyond reach of a court-martial. Chivington’s political ambitions, however, were ruined, and he spent the rest of his inconsequential life wandering the West. The scandal over Sand Creek also forced Evans to resign and dashed his hopes of holding political office. Evans did, however, go on to a successful and lucrative career building and operating Colorado railroads.So what does all this have to do with the price of tea in China, you might be asking?* Fear and Hysteria lead to life-changing decisions* We are witnessing this similar sort of hysteria and cultural public opinion being shoved down our throats by the mainstream media and radical political parties and politicians.* The push for gun control in America is being fueled by fear, hatred, shootings in public places* And ultimately, it is my view that these same tactics used by individuals like John Evans to strip and exterminate the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes during the Sand Creek Massacre will be the same tactics used to disarm law abiding citizens across the country and ultimately strip Americans of their individual freedoms and freedom of religion.Mark my words:* If the weapons we have now are successfully stripped from us just like they were stripped from the Cheyenne and the Arapaho tribes the next phase of the plan will, in fact be, stripping people of their freedoms of speech and religion for the sake of a more peaceful society with the promise of protection. The very same promise made to these tribes of the Sand Creek Massacre.* And because of Sand Creek we can now be aware of how something within a culture can generate increasing friction among differing people groups, rumors can be spread to increase popular opinion of events, and percolate individuals seeking to better their political aims to the point where they are actively seeking the appropriate opportunity to assimilate their version of a world view to the ret of society and actively engage in stripping the land and rights away from individuals who have come into that people groups crosshairs.* We have reached a point in our American society that has friction at every edge. Whether is be the right to keep and bare arms, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, the right for our viewpoints to be heard, and the right to worship Jesus Christ.* Just by publishing this podcast I’m putting a target on my back by those who have a differing viewpoint.* We have to realize that we are seeing first-hand the effects of fake news, outrage culture, gender and sexual identification and qualification and the right to have a differing viewpoint in social media but if you decide to share that viewpoint openly you are attacked; verbally or sometimes physically and in most cases labeled as a bigot, a racist, homophobic , a conspiracy theorist, or a radical.
“Go Do Earth Things”, or, How 80 Years of Non-Technocratic Thinking Might Improve Phoenix, AZ Show notes What will the world be like 80 years from now if we avoid technocratic thinking? We discuss the far future of ecologies, urban planning, and … open-source code economy. Listen all the way through for the closing note about the next episode and one of the most incredible bloopers we’ve ever produced. Best efforts notwithstanding, we couldn’t actually find a news story about the Woodmoor HOA’s fight with its own residents—Chris got this from a friend who lived through it, but the news items (if any) are lost to the depths of time. Links iPhone comparison to a tricorder The inventor of the cell phone says Dick Tracy inspired the cell phone, not Star Trek (Mea culpa: We said that iPhone was potentially inspired by Star Trek but it was really the first cell phone embroiled in this controversy) Eastern Colorado’s unsustainable land/water management Interactive tool assessing Phoenix’s water issues (Bonus: co-created by a member of Stephen’s academic department) Flash Forward’s episode on space crime Norman Music Fest Previous episodes: 5.09: Regulate All the Things! (This is the “local loop unbundling” episode) 4.06: Kickstarting a Hyperlocal Superfarm Errata The best thing about the blooper is that Stephen technically correct but still also technically wrong: While the state of Denmark (16,577 sq. mi.) is indeed larger than Rhode Island (1,034 sq. mi.), it is also larger than eight other U.S. States. It would place 42nd on a list of sizes, after West Virginia (24,087 sq. mi.) and before Maryland (9,775 sq. mi.). Furthermore, Denmark (as astute newswatchers know) technically includes Greenland and the Faroe islands as part of Denmark, making in total 857,510 sq mi; this would make Denmark literally the largest American state by almost 300,000 square miles. Depending on how you count it, Denmark is actually more than three times the size of Texas. Oops. Music “On Reflection” by Message to Bears.

Nick chats with Founder of Western Daughters Butcher Shop, Kate Kavanaugh. Recently, she was featured in the New York Times for her very interesting story of becoming a strict vegetarian in her youth to owning and operating a whole animal butcher shop in Colorado. This episode takes a few tangents into views on agriculture and domestic meats, some historical reasons why regenerative ag is a good idea. Kate also lays out some tips for hunters and hits us with some incredible meal ideas. Show Notes: Kate has love for Eastern Colorado and its prairie grassland heritage. Starting out with a brief history of the Dust Bowl during the Depression, she explains why livestock, like cattle, are an important part of a healthy, sustainable ecosystem. Her view of hunters is one of noble causes. We take on the full responsibility of death, and harvest from an animal who lived the way it wanted to. She applauds us for taking on the task of processing our own. Her background in Whole Animal Butchery is highlighted by her ability to know how to use different cuts. The Flatiron is a muscle of the shoulder that can be a very tender steak, along with the Teres-major. Both on a whitetail would be quite small, but a good challenge for anyone looking to improve their knife skills. In the dish breakdown, she prepares a “bavette” steak; a section from the flank or sidemeat. Instead of heading to the grind right off the bat, see if these cuts can be added to your treasured steaks and roasts. Instagram: @kate_kavanaugh @westerndaughters Webpage: www.westerndaughters.com

When the Trump administration messes with Central Colorado’s public lands, the results are not pretty. Hear what’s happening and what you can do to help protect our “Big Back Yard.” Pikes Peak Group of the Sierra Club Wilderness Chair John Stansfield and Conservation Chair Jim Lockhart discuss multiple planning projects underway, some of which are nearing the end of their public comment period. The Bureau of Land Management is preparing a resource management plan (RMP) and environmental impact statement to provide comprehensive management direction for all resources and uses within the Royal Gorge Field Office in eastern Colorado. The BLM manages over 650,000 acres of surface land in Eastern Colorado and over 3 million acres of subsurface mineral rights, including “split-estate” lands in which the federal government owns the mineral rights, but private landowners own the surface. Jim and John share some of the details. The RMP will consider every aspect and impact of federal land use, from air to water to mineral extraction, what areas to protect and what areas are open to exploitation. The final opportunity for citizens to provide comments on the current draft of the plan closes on September 20. Oil production on BLM land in southern Colorado could more than double and natural gas production could more than triple, tripling carbon emissions under one scenario under consideration. See the links section below to review the plan and/or comment. The BLM is also considering a proposal by the Army at Fort Carson to allow Army training over wildlands managed by the federal government, with helicopters landing on 43 remote sites in Teller, Fremont and Park counties. Jim and John share some of the details. Comments on this proposal are due by September 11th. See the links section below for information and commenting. The BLM is also working jointly with the U.S. Forest Service on a resource management plan for the new Browns Canyon National Monument. A draft plan and environmental impact statement are expected to be released this Fall. See the links section below for information. This episode is courtesy of Pikes Peak Group of the Sierra Club. The Pikes Peak Group is part of the Colorado Chapter of the Sierra Club and represents members in the greater Pikes Peak region as well as communities to the east and west of the region.

The Last of Us is an action-adventure survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Players control Joel, a smuggler tasked with escorting a teenage girl named Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States. Introductions Panel Mighty Q Dawg Twitter: @MightyQDawg Kathryn Twitter: @k_song Ryan Twitter: @itsrocketsauce Cartridge Club Intro/Outro Music Ser Flash Twitter: @Serraxor Cartridge Club Logo Will Pruitt Twitter: @willopruitt Level 1 P2(Mark) gives a quick overview of The Last of Us and panel discusses their memories of the game and first impressions. Developer: Naughty Dog Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Director: Neil Druckmann, Bruce Straley Platform(s): PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Release Date: June 14, 2013 Genre: Third Person Shooter Level 2 Discuss story of the game: Set in the post-apocalyptic United States, the game tells the story of survivors Joel and Ellie as they work together to survive their westward journey across what remains of the country to find a possible cure for the modern fungal plague that has nearly decimated the entire human race. Characters: Joel (Troy Baker) - The protagonist of the game. Joel is a survivor of the Cordyceps Brain Infection outbreak, taking residence in the Boston Quarantine Zone. Embittered and hardened by the death of his young daughter Sarah, Joel operates as a black market smuggler, dealing in contraband, taking numerous de-humanizing jobs over the years to survive in this new post-pandemic world. He has only few moral boundaries left to cross. Unfortunately for him, he is thrust into the middle of the nightmare that the world has become, when he is asked by the leader of the Fireflies, Marlene, to look after Ellie. Throughout the game, Joel slowly develops an unbreakable bond with Ellie and a desire to once again open up his emotions that he had suppressed for so many years. Ellie (Ashley Johnson) - The deuteragonist of the game. Ellie is a brave 14-year-old girl that has grown up in this harsh world and it is all she has ever known. Ellie is immune to the Cordyceps strain and because of this, the Fireflies, an anti-government organization, seek to reverse engineer a vaccine through her. She and Joel travel across the post-pandemic United States to reach the Fireflies. She helps the player through the game in many ways, lending a hand in combat and assisting through areas of the game that would otherwise be inaccessible. She frequently expresses curiosity about the remnants of a world that no longer exists. Tess (Annie Wersching) - Tess is Joel's 'partner-in-crime'. They operate in the black market of a city under martial law and have earned a reputation for their ruthless behavior. She and Joel have a trust that runs deeply between them. Tess goes with Joel to drop off Ellie to the Fireflies at the Capitol building in Boston, in exchange for getting back the guns that were stolen from them. Against all odds, the trio make it to the Capitol Building only to find that the Fireflies are dead, and Tess reveals that she was bitten by a Runner an hour before. She holds off some soldiers after she makes Joel promise to bring Ellie to Tommy, Joel's little brother. Bill (W. Earl Brown) - Bill is a paranoid survivor who appears early in the game and helps Joel and Ellie. Bill takes refuge in a town that he has completely booby trapped. He seems to be a bit eccentric, perhaps deranged, but offers to aid Joel and Ellie in finding a car. He is excessively bitter towards Ellie due to the fact that she was hostile towards him from the start. Bill possesses gay pornography, and showed heavy emotion for his friend Frank's death, implying that he was romantically involved with Frank. Marlene (Merle Dandridge) - The leader of the Fireflies and Ellie's surrogate parent. In exchange for their guns back, Marlene tells Tess and Joel to take Ellie to the Fireflies at the Capitol building in Boston. To Marlene, every unethical action she takes can be justified because of her pursuit to save humanity from the infection. She is absent for most of the game and only appears at the end, where she becomes the final antagonist. Tommy (Jeffrey Pierce) - Joel's brother and a former Firefly. The game starts with Tommy helping Joel and Sarah maneuver through the chaotic crowds of both civilians and infected during the initial outbreak. Tommy and Joel reunite later within the game and he reluctantly agrees to help his brother, establishing one of Joel and Ellie's reasons for coming to the University of Eastern Colorado. He is married to Maria. David (Nolan North) - A middle-age survivor and leader of a Cannibals group who appears later in the game and asks for help from Ellie. David is a very manipulative person, seeking to win people over with his superficial mild-mannered appearance, and attempts to convince Ellie to join him. Ellie doesn't buy his attitude and eventually breaks his finger. He finally reveals his true nature to Ellie and even attempts to kill her outright, sending a group of his men to capture her several times throughout the winter section of the game. To David, everything that has happened was for a reason; he believes faith brought him and Ellie to together, and that their encounter was meant to be. He has a very profound effect on Ellie throughout the rest of the game. Henry (Brandon Scott) - An adept survivor, who, with his brother Sam, helps Joel and Ellie in Pittsburgh. He and Joel are initially hostile towards each other, but in the end begin to warm up to each other. However, he commits suicide after having to kill his infected brother. Sam (Nadji Jeter) - Henry's younger brother. Upon meeting, he and Ellie get along almost instantly and continue their easy going relationship throughout the chapter. After he is bitten by an Infected, Ellie is the last person Sam talks to before he turns. He is killed by Henry, who immediately commits suicide out of grief. Sarah (Hana Hayes) - Joel's daughter. She is killed in the prologue when a soldier was instructed to open fire on both her and Joel. Her death causes Joel to become cold, cynical, and brutal over the years. Discuss gameplay mechanics: Combat (look at all these shoulder height walls) Stealth (but not really it’s just quiet combat) Crafting (favourite items and least favourite) AI (Where did all the promises from E3 2013 go?) Discuss sound: BGM - thematic and atmospheric or forgettable? Voice acting - Does it get better than this? (Needs more Matt Mercer) Discuss graphics: Beautiful scenery Character design The zombies Level 3 Lasting Impressions, overall rating and final thoughts. Did this make you want to play it again and if not, what would need to be changed? Would you suggest it to friends? Level 4 3 Word Review #CC3WR from Twitter first followed by panel Level 5 Outro (thank panel and plug) Announce the game for next month (Kingdom Hearts)
Alex Nester, Guide with Eastern Colorado Outdoors joins the podcast, and discusses spot and stalk hunting on the Eastern Plains with Aron and Frank. Alex Nestor AKA The BG HuntNest Lead Guide ECO (Eastern Colorado Outdoors) Alex was born and raised on the Plains of Eastern Colorado. At an early age he began hunting, fishing and spending time in the outdoors with his father and uncle. Alex has been guiding spot and stalk Muleys, Whitetail and Antelope with some of the most prestigious outfitters on the Plains Colorado for over a decade. Although having the reputation as a “wild man”, it’s easy to see that he has changed a lot from his youth to appreciate conservation and understand his past to provide a legal and ethical means of hunting the plains. Alex is now employed as the Lead Guide for ECO (Eastern Colorado Outdoors) with a powerhouse lineup of guides alongside him. He is considered by many to have pioneered the early season crop hunts using a technique of hunting standing corn fields to get ridiculously close to deer with archery and muzzleloader hunters. In addition, Alex is an avid houndsman with an extreme passion in following hounds through the mountains trailing lions, bears and bobcats. Watching others fulfill a dream hunt has always been his priority, rarely hunting for himself. Did anyone mention that this Ginger is funny as hell!?!
