Podcast appearances and mentions of Forest Grove

The winners of the National Wheat Yield Contest, hosted by the National Wheat Foundation, represent some of the most progressive and thoughtful wheat growers from across the country. This week, DTN Crops Editor Jason Jenkins takes the reins to lead us through a conversation with national winners Steve VanGrunsven, a grower/agronomist in Forest Grove, Oregon and Travis Messer, the grower/agronomist at Beaver Creek Ranch in Richardton, ND. These two champions dig into the benefits they've seen in participating in the annual contest, and also share about the finer details of their management practices, technology and seed selection, quantity versus quality, and how they think about wheat in their broader rotations.This special edition DTN Field Post podcast is brought to you by the National Wheat Foundation in partnership with BAYER Westbred.

Not just a Back to College but a BACK TO MY COLLEGE! We visit with Ian Falconer, the Head Football Coach at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon!

(NOTE: This episode is being posted two days early just in case we lose connectivity in the forecasted thunder/hailstorm later today.) Today, as travelers outside the Beaver State's borders know well, Oregon's roads are merely average, or maybe slightly above average, in terms of crowdedness and quality. Certainly other states tend to have more and wider interstate freeways. But you don't have to go too far back into the past to find a time when Oregon's highway system was something rather special. It's a legacy that goes all the way back to the dawn of motoring; when the Good Roads movement got started, it really took off in Oregon, starting in the early 1910s with the nationally famous Columbia Gorge Highway. But the true reason for the lion's share of Oregon's transformation into a midcentury motorist's paradise is much more prosaic: Our state was the first in the nation to levy a gasoline tax to fund its highway system.

WPA writer Sara B. Wrenn's 1939 oral history interview with Mrs. H.A. Lewis, granddaughter of the legendary Tabitha Moffat Brown, officially named the Mother of Oregon by the state Legislature in 1987, talking about her life and experiences in Oregon after her arrival in 1847.

 It used to be that age was one of the biggest predictive factors in whether a person would actually vote in any given U.S. election. However, the participation of younger voters rose in 2020 by more than 10 percent compared with the 2016 election. It’s unclear if that trend will continue.  We’re joined by two members of Gen Z who say they have been looking forward to voting for years. GiGi Whisler is sophomore at Pacific University in Forest Grove, who describes herself as liberal.  Heidi Taylor is from Phoenix, Oregon and is a sophomore at Brigham Young University-Rexburg, in Idaho. They both join us to discuss how they’re feeling about voting for the first time and what issues are most important to them as they decide on candidates and measures.  PROMO: With the election just weeks away and many Oregonians now in possession of their ballots, we check in with two college sophomores of different political perspectives. They’ll be voting for president for the first time ever, and we’ll ask how they’re feeling about Democracy, voting integrity and how they’re weighing the issues.

On today's show we celebrated another Bacon and Beer at Mcmenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove. The morning was a ton of fun and people partied hard!

On Monday, the Oregon Department of Forestry confirmed that the emerald ash borer has been discovered in three new counties in the Willamette Valley. In the past month, the invasive pest was caught in traps set in Marion and Yamhill counties, and is also suspected of being in neighboring Clackamas County, pending confirmation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The highly destructive beetle, which is native to Asia, has killed over 100 million ash trees nationwide since it first appeared in the U.S. over 20 years ago. The state’s agriculture and forestry departments quickly mobilized to contain it when it was first spotted in Oregon in Forest Grove in Washington County two years ago. Those efforts included issuing a quarantine that’s now permanent to prevent the movement of firewood and other plant materials out of the county made from ash, white fringe and olive trees. State crews have also removed infested ash trees and have been treating healthy trees with insecticide near infestation sites. Lilah Gonen is a community assistance forester and the emerald ash borer coordinator for ODF. They join us to talk about the state’s efforts to slow the spread of emerald ash borer and the threat it poses to native Oregon ash trees.

A hard-pressed crew tried to snake just a few more logs out before quitting for the day, hoping nothing would go wrong in the tinder-dry forest. Unfortunately, something did.

Picture yourself in the shoes of a man who has lost his brother to suicide and succumbed to the depths of alcohol addiction. That's the raw and heart-wrenching journey of our guest, Jared Zimmerman, whose courage led him to ultimate recovery. Today's podcast with Jared Zimmerman will impact you no matter who you are.  Both Jared and his wife's family are what we affectionally call a “grove family.”  That means that both of their families went to school with ours at the little country school called Forest Grove.  Heartache still finds its way into beautiful families raising kids out in the country, as you will soon hear.  God has woven together a story of suicide, addiction, family, and strength that, as painful as it is, Jared is using that story for God's purpose. Jared and Summer are a living testimony of what it looks like to live your faith out loud to encourage and walk alongside others in their pain.   As he paints a vivid picture of his struggles, from the anguish of losing his brother to the stigma of mental health, we can't help but be moved by his resilience and determination.We'll introduce you to the amazing business they recently launched,  "Inspire One Life," a beacon of hope for those battling mental health challenges. Driven by their personal experiences, they are turning their pain into a platform for spreading positivity and mental health awareness. As we discuss the poignant messages conveyed by their merchandise, you'll be inspired by their resilience and determination. Summer shared a verse with me that seemed very fitting as I sat with them.  Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Knowing these two lovely people since they were very young made it even more special to sit and share our stories together; even more special is that these are things that the fingerprints of God are all over.  There's a special meaning to that last sentence; listen for it in the podcast!You can find out more about Inspire 1 Life!Website: www.inspire1life.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspireonelife/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inspireonelifeapparel There are many podcasts for women and sobriety, but very few for women seeking information and stories from others about faith-based recovery. Could you leave a review for the SS Podcast? Subscribing and Reviewing will help get this in the ears of those searching for God's word in Recovery. I'm trying hard to get the word out, and this is a way you can be a part of the solution as well. Thank you!

Last summer, an invasive and highly destructive forest pest was first spotted in Oregon at an elementary school in Forest Grove. Oregon is the first state on the West Coast and the 36th in the nation where the emerald ash borer has been detected. The small, shiny green beetle is native to Asia and has killed over a hundred million ash trees nationwide since its arrival in the U.S. roughly 20 years ago. In June, the Oregon Department of Agriculture reinstated a temporary quarantine on ash and white fringe tree products from Washington County, including untreated lumber, nursery stock, firewood and wood chips greater than one inch in size. The department also began releasing several species of wasps that are natural predators of emerald ash borers at tree locations where they’ve been observed. Cody Holthouse, manager of the Insect Pest Prevention & Management Program at the Oregon Department of Agriculture, joins us to talk about the quarantine and other efforts to combat the spread of emerald ash borer.

We also cover sports and the role of athletics and outdoor recreation in Oregon's economy. We enjoyed chatting with Juan because he's transparent in how he thinks about challenging questions and acknowledges tradeoffs inherent in public policy.   To learn more about Juan, find him on social media or at Metro.

The Rev. Nick Koschmann, pastor of Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Forest Grove, Oregon, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Esther 6:1-13. Haman goes to the King's palace early, eager to convince him to authorize the execution of Mordecai. Providentially, he arrives just as King Ahasuerus is seeking someone to advise him on how to best reward Mordecai for previously foiling an assassination plot against him. He asks Haman how to honor a worthy, but unnamed man. Ironically, Haman, thinking the King wants to honor him, has very specific ideas of how to reward and celebrate this mysterious man. The King then orders Haman to carry out everything he suggested—for Mordecai—and this is just the beginning of Haman's very bad day. The books of Ruth and Esther from the Old Testament are the only two books in the Bible named for women, and on Thy Strong Word, we delve deep into both. The book of Esther recalls how a Jewish woman marries the Persian king Ahasuerus (Xerxes) and becomes queen. At the urging of her cousin, Mordecai, Esther uses her influence to foil a plot to exterminate the Hebrew people. Although God is not mentioned in the book, his power is at work behind the scenes.

Rev. Nick Koschmann, pastor of Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in Forest Grove, Oregon joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 40. Dreams can be fickle. They can give us a source of hope, but they can lead us away from our ultimate hope in the LORD. As the LORD would have it, the cupbearer and baker ended up in prison with Joseph. Each of them had bizarre dreams that ended up with different outcomes. By God's grace, the LORD gave Joseph the ability to be their interpreter. God used Joseph at that time this ability to glorify Himself and not Joseph. We pray that whatever dreams, visions, or thoughts we have are not contradicting God's Word, the cross, and His salvation in Christ. “Lord God, keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Whenever we find hope in anything other than you, bring us back to You. As You blessed Joseph to serve others, bless us with the opportunities to serve that they may glorify You and not ourselves. In Christ, Amen”

The casual wine drinker may not appreciate the amount of science that is involved in making wine these days.  This is why I have decided to focus this episode on the science of wine and winemaking.  Winemaking has become so scientific that winemakers are required to be well versed in aspects of chemistry and biology.  This is one of the reasons UC Davis' Viticulture and Enology program is so popular among wine professionals.  UC Davis is known for its cutting-edge research in these subjects, so it attracts people from all over the world.  This week's guest, Benjamin Eyer, graduated from the University of Pittsburg with a master's degree in Organic Chemistry.  Instead of going to medical school, he decided to follow his passion for wine.  Benjamin started his wine career by getting his Winemaking Certificate from UC Davis and traveling to Chile to learn how to work in a winery.   Then Benjamin joined Frank Family Vineyards in Napa, CA as an intern before moving to the pacific northwest.  In Oregon, Benjamin joined Trisaetum Winery and A to Z Wineworks as an intern to further his experience and grow as a winemaker.  Finally, Benjamin was named winemaker at Landlines Estates where he made wine for over four years before moving on to Montinore Vineyards in Forest Grove, Oregon.  After making wines for over eight years, Benjamin decided to make a career change and joined Admeo Inc. in Beaverton Oregon.  Admeo Inc. provides wine testing kits and machines that wineries use to analyze their wines starting when the grapes first arrive at the winery after harvest and all the way through fermentation and bottling.  These machines allow the wineries who can afford them, to test their wine samples much more efficiently and accurately which allows them to get the results of the analysis much quicker.  In this episode, Benjamin and I discuss his wine journey that brought him to Admeo Inc, some tests that winemakers do to fermenting juice and why, and we discuss some wines he is especially proud of making when he was at Montinore Vineyards in Oregon.

Why do some work differently or not at all?Curator 135 explores some of the strangest sounds that man, animals, nature, underwater, outer space and the unexplained have to offer. From a squeaky toad to icebergs running aground to the sound a star makes. Support the show

Bill Fuller had already worked in the lab at Italian Swiss Colony, gotten an MS in enology at U.C. Davis and had been the winemaker at Louis Martini Winery for 9 years when he helped evaluate vineyard sites for an investment banker in Oregon. They became partners in a 65-acre site northwest of Forest Grove in 1972, which they named Tualatin Vineyards. Bill moved his wife Virginia and family to Oregon that fall. The next year, he remodeled the house and converted the barn into a winery in time for their first vintage, using Washington grapes. We met up with Bill in the winery's original barrel room on October 16, 2020.Visit adelsheim.com/50years to join in our 50th celebration, and subscribe to our email list to be the first to know when new episodes are released.

Juno-award winning Jazz Saxophonist, Composer and Arranger, Allison Au (pronounced "ow") refuses to be defined. Born to a Chinese father and Jewish mother, and raised in the multicultural metropolis of Toronto, Allison found music as a young child.

Her work weaves a mosaic of influences into a seamless and soulful sound, a concoction steeped in the tradition of Jazz but skillfully laced with elements of Classical, Pop, R&B/hip hop, Latin, and world music.Allison joins The Playful Musician to discuss the making of her Juno-award winning album, Forest Grove. We chat about leading a jazz quartet and her journey from playing on cruise ships to full time musician. She reveals how she practices her tone and how she shaped her sound to be dynamic and flexible.
