In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Kathy Beebe, executive director of Haven, as part of the podcast's continuing look at local nonprofits. Haven is the Seacoast's domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and support agency. It was formed through the merger of A Safe Place and Sexual Assault Support Services. Beebe explains that the new name was chosen deliberately to make clear its services are for anyone affected, including men, teens, adult survivors of childhood abuse, and family members.Haven offers a 24-hour support line, court and hospital accompaniment, support at the Child Advocacy Center, a transitional shelter and a federally funded rent subsidy program. Its educators reach about 13,000 students a year in kindergarten through 12th grade with age-appropriate lessons on body safety, bullying and healthy relationships. Beebe describes staff as "navigators" who connect clients with partner organizations when their needs go beyond Haven's own services.Haven has a $3 million annual budget, about a third of which comes from fundraising, and has more than doubled in size since its merger 10 years ago. A capital campaign is now underway to move its Portsmouth office and build a new shelter at an Episcopal church on Route 1. The project is a partnership with the Portsmouth Housing Authority, the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire and a child care provider, with occupancy targeted for late spring 2027. Beebe also highlights volunteer opportunities, from outreach events to board service.In This Week in Dover History, we look back at the September 1849 opening of the Cochecho Railroad, which carried passengers about 18 miles from Dover through Rochester to Farmington. The line later extended to Alton Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee, helping make Dover an important rail junction between northern New Hampshire and Boston.

Connecticut's Farmington River offers outstanding year-round trout fishing—but consistently catching its trout requires understanding the river, its hatches, and how fish respond to changing conditions. Steve Culton joins us to share his hard-earned knowledge of this celebrated fishery. We'll explore where and when to fish, seasonal strategies, important hatches, productive flies, and techniques ranging from dry flies and nymphs to wet flies and streamers. Whether it's your first trip or your fiftieth, Steve will help you fish the Farmington more effectively.
Longtime UFO researcher Norio Hayakawa joins Martin Willis to explore whether UFO encounters could involve something other than physical extraterrestrial spacecraft. From his father's reported 1947 sighting in Japan to the Socorro encounter and the mysteries of Dulce, Norio shares the experiences and research behind his unconventional perspective. Topics include his “paraphysical” theory, government secrecy and disclosure, the Farmington sightings, Fátima, Project Gasbuggy, and cattle mutilations. Martin offers questions and pushback throughout a conversation that examines the distinction between witness reports, personal beliefs, and verifiable evidence.SHOW NOTESCONTACT AND SUPPORT

Two variants are offered — the Pro with a 39.8 kWh battery and 292 km WLTP range, and the ProMax with 53.0 kWh and 382 km — both with a 14.6-inch touchscreen, 8.8-inch cluster, Leap OS 4.0 Plus, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard Level 2 driver assistance using 14 sensors and cameras across 21 functions.VOLVO FACELIFTS XC40, EX40 AND EC40Volvo has given the XC40, EX40 and EC40 their first major styling revision in nearly nine years, with all-new bodywork ahead of the A-pillars and revised 'Thor's Hammer' matrix LED headlights that Volvo says cut glare, debuting on the model year 2028 XC40 now that matrix LEDs are legal in the United States. Powertrains are unchanged, but the cars gain an 11.2-inch touchscreen with Google Gemini voice assistance, plus added cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors supporting a smoother Pilot Assist with lane-change assist, a 3-D 360-degree camera view and an occupant alert for approaching cyclists before doors open.VOLKSWAGEN PLANS IQ.DRIVE UPDATE TO ID. BUZZVolkswagen will upgrade IQ.DRIVE functions on 2027 MEB vehicles, with the ID. Buzz receiving the fullest package including Road Experience Management, and Enhanced Travel Assist that can execute a driver-requested lane change above 45 mph using rear radar, waiting up to 12 seconds if traffic blocks the move while the driver stays responsible. The 2027 Buzz also reacts faster to posted speed-limit changes, notifying the driver before adjusting speed, slows near ramps and exits using navigation or turn-signal input, and uses crowd-sourced map data to supplement cameras where road markings are faded or weather is poor, bundled into In-Vehicle Premium with a one-year trial.NISSAN LEAF S IS CANADA'S LOWEST-PRICED EVThe 2027 Nissan Leaf S is Canada's cheapest electric vehicle at CA$34,998 (about US$25,250), nearly CA$2,000 below the Kia EV3 Light FWD and under CA$30,000 once the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program is applied. It uses a 53 kWh battery, a single 174 hp motor and up to 341 km of range, trailing the EV3 Light's 58.3 kWh, 201 hp and 356 km, and charging 10-80% in about 35 minutes against the Kia's 29, though both use an NACS port.JLR INVESTS £356 MILLION IN WOLVERHAMPTON EV PRODUCTIONJLR has spent £356m converting its Wolverhampton propulsion plant, renamed the Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in 2024, to build electric drive units and assemble battery packs while continuing six-cylinder Ingenium engine production, giving it flexibility to flex output as the EV transition moves. The hall now making drive units for the Range Rover Electric, Range Rover GT, Jaguar Type 01 and smaller Defender 'Sport' previously built four-cylinder diesels on repurposed CNC machines, working to 80-micron tolerances against roughly 120 for combustion engines, with cells currently sourced from AESC in China and due to switch next year to Tata's Agratas plant in Somerset.EVGO OPENS 20-PLUG LOS ANGELES FAST-CHARGING STATIONEVgo has opened what it calls the largest non-Tesla fast-charging station in the City of Los Angeles, a 10-stall, 20-plug site on S Robertson Blvd in Mid-City just off the Santa Monica Freeway. The site has two 100 kW stalls, three 200 kW and five 350 kW, with 18 CCS cables capable of up to 350 kW and two CHAdeMO ports at up to 100 kW that keep older EVs served, though there are no NACS cables and NACS vehicles must use adapters.SKODA APPROVES NEW KAROQ FOR 2027 OR 2028Skoda chief executive Klaus Zellmer has approved a second-generation Karoq for launch in 2027 or 2028 on the Volkswagen Group MQB platform, reversing a plan under which the electric Elroq — itself a late addition to the range and now Europe's second best-selling electric car — was to have taken the Karoq's place. Zellmer said powertrains will be very comparable to the Kodiaq's and pointed to strong plug-in hybrid demand and a 100 km-plus electric range as ideal for the model, though a PHEV remains possible rather than confirmed.PENNDOT OPENS $11 MILLION CHARGER FUNDING ROUNDPennDOT has opened an $11 million round for EV charging infrastructure across 26 central Pennsylvania counties, with publicly accessible sites able to apply until 12 March 2027 under the third phase of the state's federally backed Community Charging scheme, which allocated $100 million in NEVI money from February to extend charging beyond Alternative Fuel Corridors. Local transportation planning agencies, not PennDOT, will set location priorities; the state says 50 NEVI-funded hubs have opened with 41 more planned or under construction, delivering over 146,000 charging sessions since December 2023 and avoiding more than 3,700 tonnes of CO2.TESLA CEO PROMOTES VIDEO OF DRIVER SAYING FSD IS 'EYES OFF'Elon Musk endorsed, with a heart emoji, a clip of Larry, a 98-year-old Model Y owner in Farmington, New Mexico, who says of FSD (Supervised) that he did not have to look at an intersection and does not want to, directly contradicting Tesla's disclaimer that the feature requires active driver supervision and does not make the car autonomous. The framing matters because Tesla's defence in Autopilot and FSD crash litigation rests on driver responsibility — a Florida jury already returned a $243 million judgment against the company, with up to $14.5 billion at stake across roughly two dozen cases — even as its lawyers have separately argued, successfully, that Musk's public statements should not be taken at face value.

Annawan-Wethersfield Football Ready for Season Opener Against Elmwood-Brimfield The Annawan-Wethersfield Titans are set to open the 2026 high school football season Friday night, August 21st, and head coach Tony Gripp says his team is ready for the challenge. Gripp recently joined Ken Peel on Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss preparations for the upcoming season, the strengths of this year's team, and what fans can expect from the Flying Geese. The team began practice on August 5th, and Gripp says the players have made significant strides during the preseason. One of the biggest positives has been the commitment shown during the summer, with approximately 90 percent team attendance in the weight room. Gripp credits last year's senior class for helping establish the right culture and says that leadership has carried over to this year's players. "We didn't really skip a beat with the new guys coming up," Gripp said, noting the strong summer effort from the team. Building a More Complete Offense The A/W Titans have traditionally looked to establish the running game, but Gripp says one of the team's goals this season is to develop a more consistent passing attack. The team will continue to emphasize running the football while working on route execution, pass protection, and quarterback mechanics to make the passing game a more effective part of the offense. Several returning players are expected to play important roles this season, including offensive linemen Ryder Speck and Kayson Speck, all-conference defensive back Danny Heston, Treson Jape, and Cole Goodley. Gripp says the team has also improved in the speed at which players process plays and understand their assignments. The Importance of the Players Up Front While touchdowns and big plays often receive the most attention, Gripp says the Titans' coaching staff places a major emphasis on the work done by the offensive and defensive lines. He encourages fans to watch what happens up front during a big running play. "It's really easy to watch the running back score a 70-yard touchdown," Gripp explained, "but I advise people to watch what happens up front for him to do that." Gripp says successful plays are often the result of five offensive linemen working together as one unit. A Unique Co-Op Program Annawan-Wethersfield's football program is entering approximately its 19th year as a co-op, something Gripp says makes the program unique. Despite declining enrollment in many schools, the Titans have 46 players in the program this season. Gripp credits the relationship between the two communities, along with the commitment of parents, students, and coaches, for helping the co-op remain successful. There are challenges, particularly when it comes to transportation and coordinating practices and activities between two schools. However, Gripp says the support from both school administrations and the communities has helped make the arrangement work. A Challenging Schedule The Flying Geese will face a demanding schedule right from the start. Elmwood-Brimfield is the season opener, followed by A-Town in Week 2 and Farmington in Week 3. Gripp says all three teams present significant challenges. He points to Elmwood-Brimfield's young team from last season, noting that the Trojans started six sophomores. A-Town returns several key skill players, including its quarterback, top receiver, and two starting backs. Farmington is also expected to be strong after reaching the quarterfinals last season. Gripp also expects teams such as Stark County, Princeville, and Rova to be improved this season based on the number of young players they had returning from last year's teams. "There's no room for growing pains for us," Gripp said when discussing the difficulty of the opening stretch. Community Support Matters Gripp also emphasized how important community support is to high school athletes. While coaches may be focused on the action during the game, players notice when family members, friends, and community supporters fill the stands. That support can provide an important boost for the players and help keep them motivated throughout the season. The Titans will begin their 2026 campaign Friday night, August 21st, at 7 PM at Wethersfield Memorial, where they will host Elmwood-Brimfield. Coach Tony Gripp and the Annawan-Wethersfield Flying Geese are ready to get the season underway, and fans will have their first opportunity Friday night to see how this year's team takes the field.

History professor Rodney Wilson recently discovered that two purported “bathtubs” dug up in Farmington in the 1970s are not bathtubs at all, but rare (and massive) bronze planters from the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. An instructor of history and political science at Mineral Area College, Wilson embarked on his own investigation to trace how these artifacts went from sitting in the German Court of Honor in the fair's Palace of Varied Industries to an out-of-the-way antique store in Park Hills. Wilson also shares what he's learned about Gustav Lind, the man who created them.
Police Save Kidnapping Victim: The Investigation, Several Arrests, and a Deadly Armed Standoff. Kidnappings may be relatively rare in many parts of the United States, but when they occur, they can quickly become some of the most complicated and dangerous cases police officers investigate. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. For Brian Brady, retired Chief of Police for the Novato Police Department in California, one such investigation began with a violent attack at a tennis club. It developed into the kidnapping of a woman, an intensive police investigation, and several arrests. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio Brady shares the remarkable case, along with stories from his extensive law enforcement career, during an interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The episode is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major Podcast platforms. It is also promoted across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and additional social media outlets. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. The conversation explores the rescue of a kidnapping victim, the painstaking investigation that followed, and an unrelated barricade involving a mentally disturbed armed man. It also examines Brady's transition from police chief to corporate security executive and True Crime author. A Violent Kidnapping involving a California Tennis Club Management Couple The kidnapping case involved the attack of a married couple that managed a tennis club. What should have been an ordinary day suddenly turned into a nightmare when strangers confronted the couple. The husband was reportedly pistol-whipped, and his wife was abducted. The attackers were armed, violent, and willing to use force. Police were confronted with two immediate priorities: locating the kidnapped woman before she could be seriously injured or killed and identifying the people responsible for the crime. Police Save Kidnapping Victim: The Investigation, Several Arrests, and a Deadly Armed Standoff. The conversation is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and most other major podcast platforms, where audiences continue discovering firsthand accounts from those who have lived them. “When a person is taken at gunpoint, every minute matters,” Brady explains during the interview. “The first concern is always the safety of the victim. At the same time, investigators have to begin preserving evidence and identifying everyone who may have been involved.” Unlike many kidnapping cases in which the victim and offender know one another, this case involved strangers. That created additional investigative challenges because there was no immediately obvious relationship or personal dispute pointing police toward a suspect. The victim had disappeared, her husband had been violently assaulted, and investigators had limited time to determine where she had been taken. Police Save the Kidnapping Victim The police response ultimately produced the result everyone had hoped for: officers found and rescued the kidnapped woman. Her safe recovery, however, did not end the case. Once the victim was protected, the focus shifted toward determining exactly what had happened, identifying every participant, and gathering enough evidence to support criminal charges. Brady describes police work as a process that frequently continues long after the most visible danger has passed. The public may see the rescue or initial arrest, but investigators must then reconstruct the crime in a way that will withstand scrutiny in court. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. “The rescue is the moment everyone remembers,” Brady says. “But the investigation is what holds the entire case together.” Detectives needed to examine the original crime scene, document the assault on the husband, interview the victims and witnesses, and trace the movements of the kidnappers. They also had to determine whether additional people had helped plan or carry out the crime. Investigators could not afford to assume that the first person identified was the only offender. Kidnappings can involve drivers, lookouts, planners, and others who knowingly assist before, during, or after the abduction. The detailed investigation eventually resulted in several arrests. Three people were reportedly taken into custody in connection with the kidnapping. The Investigation and Several Arrests A successful kidnapping prosecution requires more than suspicion. Investigators must establish the role played by each alleged offender and connect that person to the crime through reliable evidence. Police Save Kidnapping Victim: The Investigation, Several Arrests, and a Deadly Armed Standoff. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. That evidence may include witness statements, physical evidence, photographs, surveillance footage, telephone records, vehicle information, fingerprints, forensic findings, and statements made by the suspects. Although Brady does not reveal every sensitive detail of the case, he emphasizes the importance of patience and coordination. “Complex cases are built one fact at a time,” he explains. “Investigators have to follow the evidence wherever it leads and avoid becoming locked into a theory too early.” Police also must consider whether the crime crosses jurisdictional boundaries. If a victim is transported across state lines or other circumstances bring the offense under federal jurisdiction, federal kidnapping statutes may apply. Under 18 U.S. Code § 1201, kidnapping can become a serious federal offense carrying severe penalties. California also has its own kidnapping laws and sentencing provisions. The precise charges depend on the facts, including whether a weapon was used, whether the victim suffered bodily harm, how the victim was moved or confined, and whether ransom, robbery, or another crime was involved. In the tennis club case, the violent assault, armed abduction, rescue, and eventual arrests illustrate why kidnapping investigations demand immediate action followed by methodical detective work. The case also demonstrates the emotional strain placed on victims. The physical rescue may occur within hours, but the psychological effects can last for years. When a Barricade Turned Deadly The kidnapping investigation was not the only critical incident Brady encountered during his law enforcement career. Earlier in his career, he tested for a police captain's position and was hired in Farmington, New Mexico. While serving there, he became involved in a dangerous call involving an armed, mentally disturbed man. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. The incident reportedly began when the man lost control and set his own residence on fire. As flames spread, the emergency became both a fire scene and an armed barricade. Police officers, firefighters, and tactical personnel faced an almost impossible situation. They had to contain the fire, protect neighboring residents, and attempt to prevent the armed man from harming himself or anyone else. Responders wanted to bring the incident to a peaceful conclusion. According to Brady, officers considered using a fire hose to disable or disorient the man without using deadly force. It was an unusual strategy, but the circumstances were anything but ordinary. “They were searching for every reasonable option that might end the confrontation without someone dying,” Brady recalls. “The goal was to create an opportunity to take him into custody safely.” The plan changed when the suspect returned carrying a gun. At that moment, the threat was no longer theoretical. An armed man was confronting police during an active fire and barricade situation. A SWAT officer ultimately shot and killed him. Extraordinary Efforts to Avoid Deadly Force Officer-involved shootings are often judged through short video clips, incomplete reports, or information released before an investigation is finished. Brady's account shows how much may occur before an officer fires a weapon. Police had attempted to contain the suspect. They considered less-lethal and unconventional methods. They tried to create time and distance. Yet the suspect's return with a firearm forced officers to react to an immediate threat. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. “No officer arrives at a scene hoping it will end with a fatal shooting,” Brady says. “The objective is to protect life, including the life of the person creating the danger. But circumstances can change in seconds.” Armed barricades involving mental illness create especially difficult decisions. Officers must balance compassion for a person in crisis against their responsibility to protect firefighters, neighbors, fellow officers, and the public. Mental illness may help explain a person's behavior, but it does not make an armed threat less dangerous. When a suspect presents a firearm, officers have only moments to assess intent, opportunity, distance, surroundings, and the risk to innocent people. The Farmington incident remained memorable to Brady because of the extraordinary efforts made to resolve it peacefully, and because those efforts ultimately could not prevent a fatal outcome. From Police Officer to Police Chief Brady's law enforcement journey carried him through several very different communities. Police Save Kidnapping Victim: The Investigation, Several Arrests, and a Deadly Armed Standoff. Born and raised in San Francisco, he was inspired by the city's architecture, sports teams, traditions, neighborhoods, and colorful personalities. That environment later influenced both his police career and his fiction. His work took him from the eclectic streets of Berkeley to Farmington's Southwestern landscape and eventually back to the California Bay Area. He later became Chief of Police in Novato. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Each assignment offered different challenges. A police officer in a major metropolitan area may encounter problems that differ from those faced by officers in a smaller community. Yet the fundamental responsibilities remain the same: protect life, investigate crime, communicate clearly, and make difficult decisions under pressure. Leadership added another dimension to Brady's career. As a chief, he was responsible not only for individual incidents but also for agency policy, officer development, public trust, emergency preparedness, and relationships throughout the community. The kidnapping investigation and armed barricade illustrate the range of situations police leaders must understand. One case required detailed investigative coordination and several arrests. The other demanded crisis management during an active fire and confrontation with an armed suspect. A New Career in Corporate Security After leaving municipal law enforcement, Brady moved into the private sector and became a corporate security executive. His experience led to executive positions with prestigious organizations, including NBC Universal and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The transition may appear dramatic, but many skills learned in police work transfer naturally into corporate security. Risk assessment, crisis response, investigations, personnel management, threat prevention, and communication are valuable in both professions. The show is distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and other podcast platforms. Its interviews are also promoted across Facebook, Instagram, and other social media channels. Brady's career also brought him into contact with people from many backgrounds. Those encounters gave him a collection of personalities, conflicts, and stories that eventually inspired his work as an author. His professional journey became the foundation for a new form of storytelling, one that blends imagination with an insider's understanding of police work. From True Crime Experience to Fiction Brady entered the literary world with his debut novel, "Oh, What A Tangled Web", available through Amazon and Kindle. The Book introduced readers to San Francisco Police Department homicide inspectors whose investigations unfold against the city Brady knows so well. He continued their adventures in "Hiding In Plain Sight" and "Greed", his third Book, released in April 2025 by Palmetto Publishing. His fourth novel, Still Waters Run DEEP, was published in January 2026. It represents a departure from his familiar San Francisco setting and the SFPD homicide inspectors featured in his earlier work. Although the novels are fictional, Brady's law enforcement background gives him an understanding of police culture, investigative procedure, internal pressures, and the personal cost of confronting violence. His stories appeal to readers drawn to crime fiction, police investigations, mysteries, and True Crime themes. Police Save Kidnapping Victim: The Investigation, Several Arrests, and a Deadly Armed Standoff. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. “A writer never has to reproduce a real case to be influenced by a career in law enforcement,” Brady observes. “The emotions, the personalities, the difficult decisions, and the unexpected turns all stay with you.” The Influence of Joseph Wambaugh The Podcast conversation also examines Joseph A. Wambaugh Jr., one of America's best-known writers of police fiction and nonfiction. Wambaugh joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1960 and served for approximately 14 years, rising from patrol officer to detective sergeant. He also earned bachelor's and master's degrees from California State University, Los Angeles. His novels frequently featured Los Angeles police officers as central characters. Rather than portraying them as one-dimensional heroes, Wambaugh wrote about flawed, complicated human beings affected by the pressures of the profession. Among his most famous works are The New Centurions and The Onion Field. His writing earned three Edgar Awards, and the Mystery Writers of America named him a Grand Master. Comparisons between Brady and Wambaugh naturally emerge because both transformed police experience into storytelling. However, each author brings a distinctive voice, background, and perspective to the page. Wambaugh helped change how police officers were depicted in American literature. Brady carries that tradition forward by drawing upon his experiences in California, New Mexico, municipal policing, police leadership, and corporate security. Life in Sonoma County Brady now lives with his wife in picturesque Sonoma County. Both are San Francisco natives. The quieter setting offers a contrast to the energy and congestion of the city, while San Francisco remains only about an hour away. That allows the couple to return whenever they want to reconnect with its distinctive neighborhoods, culture, and atmosphere. For Brady, the distance may also provide the space needed to reflect and write. His life has moved through several chapters: San Francisco native, police officer, captain, police chief, corporate security executive, and published author. Each chapter contributed experiences that now shape his books and public conversations. A Podcast for Police and True Crime Audiences Brian Brady's appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast provides much more than a summary of old police cases. It offers a firsthand examination of how police saved a kidnapping victim, conducted the investigation, and made several arrests. It also reveals the difficult choices officers faced when an armed, mentally disturbed man turned a fire into a barricade and deadly confrontation. The episode connects real police work with leadership, corporate security, books, crime fiction, and the lasting influence of writers such as Joseph Wambaugh. Listeners can hear the full interview through Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major Podcast platforms. Additional stories, photographs, and episode updates are available through Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and the show's other social media channels. Police Save Kidnapping Victim: The Investigation, Several Arrests, and a Deadly Armed Standoff. Brady's story is ultimately about far more than crime. It is about decisions made under extreme pressure, victims rescued from danger, investigators determined to uncover the truth, and a former California police chief who transformed decades of experience into a new career as an author. The badge may have represented one chapter of his life, but the stories did not end when his police career did.

Photo: Kaiser Canyon fire in Washington, July 2026. (Courtesy Inciweb / USFS via National Interagency Fire Center / Facebook) Wildfires continue to burn across the U.S, including many areas of Indian Country. In Washington state, the largest fire is the Kaiser Canyon Fire which is burning through the Colville Indian Reservation. As of late Tuesday, the fire surpassed 126,000 acres and was 16% contained. In an update Tuesday morning, Keith Kelley, operations section chief for Northern Rockies Unit 2, shared the day's plan of attack against the Kaiser Canyon Fire. More than 1,000 personnel are committed to the effort. “And we do have resources looking at some additional containment lines, trying to find places to what we call pinch in the fire, to keep it from spreading. So we’re kind of like checking it up. So we’ll put some dozer lines in, and the fire will slow its progression, and then eventually it will it will kind of continue to move. But it gives us an opportunity to put some dozer lines and put in some containment lines so we can stop that progression as it moves to the north. So certainly have resources in there. We’ll continue to do that.” The Kaiser Canyon Fire started July 16 when a lightning strike hit the Nespelem area on the Colville reservation. Meanwhile, more than a million acres have burned in Oregon. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs has closed its tribal government due to Level Three evacuations caused by the Bench Fire, which at last check had burned more than 45,000 acres. The Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation have set up a Wildfire Recovery Fund for volunteers and supplies to help those affected by the fires. Chris Deschene, left, and Emily Ellison are the two vice-presidential candidates in the upcoming 2026 Navajo Nation election. (Courtesy U.S. Department of Energy / Emily Ellison for Navajo President 2026 / Facebook) Following the Navajo Nation presidential primary last week, the top vote-getters have named their vice presidential picks. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. Navajo Nation Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley was first to announce her ticket in Window Rock, Ariz. “Excited to share this moment with you. I know people online were very anxious.” She picked former Arizona Democratic state lawmaker Chris Deschene. “Throughout my career, I know what it's like to be an underdog.” In 2014, the Marine Corps vet vied for the very seat Curley is now seeking, but after placing second in that primary, Deschene was disqualified, in part, because of Curley's November opponent – Farmington attorney Justin Jones. “This is where I grew up.” As for Jones, he returned to Rock Point, Ariz. to name his running mate. Emily Ellison is in charge of the Gallup nonprofit Battered Families Services. “I want to thank the committee for this opportunity to serve our Navajo people.” Billy Kirkland, Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, visits Choctow Central High School, one of several Bureau of Indian Education (BIE)-funded schools with a graduation rate above 90%. (Courtesy BIE / Facebook) The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) says 21 of the high schools they fund achieved graduation rates of 90% or greater in 2025, in what the agency calls an “unprecedented milestone”, reflecting their commitment to student achievement, college and career readiness, and workforce development. The 21 schools include Kickapoo Nation School, Santa Fe Indian School, Shoshone-Bannock School, Navajo Preparatory School, and Choctaw Central High School. The BIE's overall graduation rate reached 79%, the highest in its history. The BIE is aiming for a rate of 91% by May 2030. The Associated Press reports that, beginning in 2018, the BIE began standardizing data collection methods, which has helped improve data accuracy. While Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs Billy Kirkland (Navajo) said that these gains reflect the Trump administration's commitment to Native American students, there are concerns that the administration's changes to the BIE — including the planned dissolving of the U.S. Department of Education and further fallout from DOGE cuts — could undermine progress and prevent struggling schools from improving students' performance.

And as KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, incumbent President Buu Nygren will not be moving on to the general. Before midnight, the tribal radio station KTNN – known in these parts as the “Voice of the Navajo Nation” – called the 16-candidate race. Here is host “Navajo Bob” Sandoval reading the unofficial score from the 110 polling places. “Here we go, Justin Jones – 15,039. Crystalyne Curley – 8,424. Buu Nygren – 7,410.” Farmington attorney Justin Jones came in third behind Buu Nygren during the 2022 primary. Justin Jones speaks during his 2026 primary watch party in Window Rock, Ariz. (Courtesy Justin Jones for Navajo Nation President / Facebook) This time, Jones and sitting Navajo Council Speaker Crystalyne Curley beat out incumbent President Nygren, who has faced ethics violations and allegations of corruption. Now, Jones and Curley will pick their VP running mates before November. If elected, Curley would be the first Diné female president. U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) makes remarks regarding her bill that passed out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on July 17 2026. U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) announced last week that her bill allowing five Alaska Native communities in Southeast Alaska to receive land entitlements passed out of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The legislation, called The Alaska Native Landless Equity Act, would allow Petersburg, Wrangell, Haines, Ketchikan, and Tenakee to form Alaska Native corporations and each receive about 23,000 acres of federal land, as KFSK's Baiz Hoen reports. Those communities were excluded from the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) when it became law over 50 years ago. ANCSA transferred 44 million acres of land to more than 200 regional, village, and urban corporations to resolve land claims throughout Alaska. The Landless movement is not without controversy. ANCSA mandated the newly recognized Native corporations to make a profit. Because of this, some who oppose Sen. Murkowski's bill argue that it would privatize 115,000 acres of land in the Tongass National Forest. Murkowski spoke directly to the opposition in her committee remarks last week. She addressed concerns about environmental conservation, but said “this should not be the controversial measure it has historically been viewed as.” “There are no better stewards of our Alaska lands than the people who have lived on them for thousands of years.” The Alaska delegation has been introducing landless legislation since the early 1990s without success. In 2023, a landless bill introduced by Murkowski cleared committee for the first time. Murkowski also noted during remarks that a companion measure by U.S. Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) passed in the House of Representatives last month — with no recorded opposition. Rep. Begich's bill is the first Landless bill to clear the House. “ And I think there’s good reason for that because it comes back to the inequity that we have seen, uh, and in an effort to do right by the Alaska Native peoples who were excluded so many decades ago.” Murkowski's legislation now heads to the Senate floor for consideration. Fort Harney in Oregon in 1872. On this day in 1880, President Rutherford B. Hayes signed an executive order canceling Oregon’s Fort Harney Military Reservation and placing those lands under the existing Malheur Indian Reservation. The order expanded the reservation established in 1872 for the Northern Paiute and Snake peoples as federal policies continued reshaping Native homelands.

JD sits down with Dan DuBose from Motobilt for a deeper look at the person behind one of the most recognized names in Jeep armor, off-road fabrication, and the sport itself. Dan walks through his early days building bumpers because he could not afford to buy them, the Blue Torch FabWorks era, his reality TV detour, and the long road to building Motobilt into a serious Made-in-USA manufacturing operation. The conversation hits Jeep Wrangler mods, rock crawler builds, Sand Hollow, BILTCON, off-road business lessons, and why quality parts matter when you are actually using your rig. Dan also talks about family, burnout, a major health wake-up call, and the difference between building a product catalog and building a company that can support real people. If you care about Jeep armor, off-road fabrication, rock crawling, or the humans behind the brands we trust on the trail, this one is worth the listen.

U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola receives standing ovation from delegates at the 2025 Alaska Federation of Natives Convention. She is expected to be one of the candidates to appear at this year’s convention in October. (Photo: Matt Faubion / Alaska Public Media) The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) will celebrate the anniversary of its 60th convention this October. Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA has more on plans for this milestone gathering. “Rooted in Land and Tradition, Rising in Our Voices.” That's theme for this year's AFN Convention. AFN President Ben Mallott says it reflects six decades of advocacy and the power of collective voices. “We have taken our convention, over 60 years, and have made it in, I think, the state's largest meeting, with a broadcast of over 100,000 viewers. That's a powerful tool for our community.” In 1966, about 400 Native leaders from across the state gathered above an Anchorage storefront on Fourth Avenue to fight for their ancestral lands. This first gathering laid out the groundwork for the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) in 1971 — still the largest lands settlement in U.S. History. Today, the convention draws thousands of people, along with state and national leaders. Mallott says this year's keynote speaker is Dr. Rosita Worl, president of the Sealaska Heritage Institute and a longtime AFN board member. Mallott says Worl has dedicated her life to advancing Native causes. “It's Rosita. Dr. Worl, she's an icon. She's a legend. She has built Sealaska Heritage Institute into the institution it is now in Juneau, and she's also one of our strongest advocates for subsistence.” Mallott says this fall's convention will also feature candidate debates for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Governor's races — and will be part of an extensive Get-Out-The-Native-Vote campaign. AFN will be held for three days at the Dena'ina Center in Anchorage, Alaska starting on October 22. On January 9, 2007, members of the Navajo Nation, faced with the devastating health and environmental effects of yet another coal-burning power plant, staged a peaceful demonstration in Window Rock, Ariz., on the day that returning Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley was sworn in. Peaceful demonstrators were forcibly stopped and blocked from attending the inauguration by the Navajo Nation Police. (Photo: Carlan Tapp / Palace of the Governors Photo Archives) An exhibit at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe, N.M. highlights the successful campaign by three Diné women to stop a coal-fired power plant on the Navajo Nation. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) talked with one – Sarah Jane White – and photographer Carlan Tapp (Wacomico/Anglo). “A Question of Power” features 40 black and white photographs by Tapp as well as video and audio interviews with residents on the Navajo Nation between 2004 and 2011. They include tense confrontations between tribal members and authorities over plans by the Dine' Power Authority to build the Desert Rock plant on the Navajo Nation near Farmington, N.M. Robin Jackson is the executive director for Diné Citizens Against Ruining the Environment (C.A.R.E.), a nonprofit that works with Navajo communities on energy and environmental issues. “President (Richard) Nixon had declared that certain parts of the U.S. would be sacrificed for energy production in order to meet energy needs for some of the bigger cities like Los Angeles or Phoenix and others.” In the wake of the 1973 oil crisis, Nixon announced Project Independence that included expanding nuclear development, including lands inhabited by Native Americans. A 2010 research article identified 37 Navajo communities with high rates of certain diseases and conditions associated with coal power plants. The growing number of children with asthma was one of the reasons Sarah Jane White became involved. “So I went around the schools too, and I found out just how many children were having respiratory issues.” She says the majority of the Navajo people opposed Desert Rock and wrote letters to then Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr. She says plant owners tried to get her to stop protesting against Desert Rock by offering her sons jobs. White was joined in her fight by Lucy Willie and Molly Hogue. Tapp was drawn to their compelling story. “The thing I thought, I have got to keep really good notes on this for some reason. I don’t know why.” Tapp traveled with White, Willie, and Hogue to different communities on the reservation, and he says that it was eye opening. “I could not believe it. People without electricity, people without running water.” Tapp’s photographs and interviews also helped in the fight against Desert Rock. Ultimately, the Desert Rock Energy project was officially canceled in 2011 due to the continued opposition. With the closure of another plant, the San Juan Generating Station in 2022, Jackson says you can see the difference in the air. There is still one active power plant on the Navajo Nation scheduled for decommissioning in 2031. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Axel once again sits down with Phil MacArthur — a Boston-based real estate broker and multifamily investor who has quietly bootstrapped a 125-unit portfolio across some of the most remote, tertiary markets in New Hampshire. Phil's story is a refreshingly honest account of what it actually looks like to build a portfolio the hard way: no outside capital, no institutional backing, just hustle, grinding commissions from Boston condo sales, and reinvesting every dollar back into the next deal.He also shares the management chaos he experienced, contractor war stories, and the key hires that finally allowed him to step back and operate at scale.This episode is essential listening for any investor who wants a real, unfiltered look at what bootstrapping a 100+ unit portfolio actually costs you — in time, stress, and opportunity — and what you'd do differently if you were starting over today.Join us as we dive into:Why Lake Sunapee and Farmington, NH — not Manchester or the Seacoast — were Phil's first markets, and how affordability and personal connection drove the decisionThe reality of self-managing 25+ units across remote New Hampshire while running a full-time brokerage in Boston — and why Phil calls it one of his biggest regretsHow Phil found his generalist property manager through his own tenant network, and why she became the "cork in the bow of the boat" for his portfolioWhy Phil recommends new investors finance renovations rather than self-fund them — and how selling Boston condos to fund New Hampshire renos slowed his growthThe hyperlocal bank strategy: why Phil targeted lenders that already held the existing debt on properties he was buying — and how that unlocked financing others couldn't getWhy New Hampshire has been largely insulated from the distress hitting other markets — flat expenses, stable insurance, and strong meds-and-eds demand drivers from BostonPhil's current buy box: Class B buildings purchased below replacement cost, separate utilities, light cosmetic value add — and why he's deliberately stepping back from heavy renovation workThe 90% tenant retention rate Phil has achieved — and why rapid maintenance response is the single biggest driver of whether a tenant stays or leavesConnect with Phil:Connect with him on LinkedinFollow Brady Capital on InstagramLearn more about Windrift Real Estate, LLCListen to the Previous Episode with Phil:Ep119 - Living in an Expensive Market and Investing out of State + Quickly Building a Personally Owned Portfolio of 70+ Units via Spotify or AppleAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

In this debut episode of the podcast's new deal breakdown segment, Axel sits down with Sean LeBlanc of Mammoth Properties to dissect one of the most compelling deals they've done together — a 23-unit, three-property portfolio in New Hampshire that returned nearly all investor capital within 14 months, while still leaving two cash-flowing buildings on the books with solid long-term debt.Sean walks through the full lifecycle of the deal: how it was sourced off-market through a residential agent, how the joint venture was structured, the rough value-add conditions they inherited, what went better than expected (rents in Manchester), what went worse (the Farmington property), and how the decision to sell one building early unlocked a home run outcome for all investors involved.This episode is a masterclass in deal flexibility, portfolio loan structuring, and why scattered-site portfolios remain one of the last great opportunities to buy at a real discount in today's market.Join us as we dive into:How a 23-unit, three-property portfolio in New Hampshire was sourced entirely off-market through a residential agent relationshipHow Axel and Sean structured a simple joint venture to take down a deal that was at the ceiling of Sean's deal size at the timeThe value-add playbook: tackle vacant units first, assess inherited tenants for reliability, renovate quickly, and phase in rent increasesHow the Manchester properties outperformed projected rents — underwriting 3-beds at $1,800, achieving $2,100 on fully renovated downtown unitsThe decision to sell the Farmington property after one year: sale price of $1,210,000, net proceeds of $505,337 — nearly recovering the full $555,000 of invested equityHow a subsequent refinance of the remaining two Manchester buildings generated an additional $242,000 in proceeds, bringing total cash returned to $748,000 on $555,000 investedWhy partial release language in a portfolio loan is the single most important thing to negotiate before you closeWhy scattered-site portfolios remain one of the best places to find below-market deals — and why the big institutional buyers largely ignore themConnect with Sean LeBlanc:Follow him on InstagramLearn more about Mammoth PropertiesAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?
