The o”ST”-14 Groza Kit from Stuff and Things is a simplified engineering copy of the Russian OTs-14 Groza bullpup conversion, designed as a bolt-on kit for PSA Krinkov/AK-74U pattern firearms in .300 Blackout or 5.56.

It is an all-metal kit with black phosphate finish that requires no permanent modification to the host firearm (though some fitting may be needed due to AK tolerances).

That effort led PROOF into medium-caliber cannon barrel development and forced a complete reassessment of rifling profiles, twist rates, pressure, projectile behavior, and barrel… BULLET POINTS PEW REPORT Glacier National Park Grizzly Bear Attack on Anthony Pollio On or about May 3, 2026, 33-year-old Anthony Pollio was killed by a bear on the Mount Brown trail in Glacier National Park. A can of bear spray was found near the site. The article contrasts this with the 2014 Mount Brown Trail incident where Brian Murphy successfully stopped a charging grizzly using bear spray followed by one shot from a .357 Magnum revolver at 7-10 feet, after which the bear went down and stopped moving. The .357 Magnum round did not kill the bear but incapacitated it temporarily. No recorded deaths in North America when a handgun was fired in defense against a bear. PEW REPORT Arsenal Inc. Open Letter to NSSF on Virginia Assault Weapons Ban Arsenal Inc., a Nevada-based firearms manufacturer and importer (associated with K-VAR.com), published an open letter dated May 22, 2026, responding to Virginia's newly signed assault weapons and high-capacity magazine ban effective July 1, 2026. The letter frames the law as an unconstitutional restriction that creates legal uncertainty, compliance burdens, and business paralysis for citizens, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, ranges, and trainers nationwide, citing precedents in California and Washington. Arsenal Inc. announces immediate heavy discounts and prioritized shipping for Virginia customers through June 19, 2026, while calling on the NSSF and the broader firearms industry to provide coordinated legal, grassroots, and public support, treating the issue as national rather than state-specific. PEW REPORT AI Could Render the Federal Ban on Creating a Gun Registry Obsolete Article discusses a University of Wyoming Firearms Research Center working paper arguing that AI systems could create ‘registry-equivalent knowledge' by extracting, linking, and inferring firearm ownership data from ATF's existing 921 million digitized records (including Form 4473s, out-of-business dealer records, and NICS metadata containing names, addresses, and serial numbers). This would bypass the intent of 18 U.S.C. § 926(a) prohibiting any system of registration of firearms, owners, or transactions, especially as federal AI policy integrates more data.

GOING BALLISTIC BEARINGARMS.COM(Savage) Washington State Gun Control Laws Fail to Curb Crime on Seattle's Aurora Avenue Seattle residents struggle with rising crime despite Washington state's gun control laws. Washington state has enacted multiple gun control measures including waiting periods, red flag laws, universal background checks, high-capacity magazine bans, and assault weapon bans. Despite these, residents near Aurora Avenue in Seattle report uncontrolled drug dealing, prostitution, and shootings, with minimal response from city officials. Neighbors have erected reinforced barriers and posted “No Gunfire” signs while the mayor's office announced increased patrols by the Gun Violence Reduction Unit and community-led efforts; the article argues the focus on lawful gun ownership over criminal enforcement, combined with local taxes driving out FFLs, has left residents scrambling for protection and exercising Second Amendment rights. BREITBART(Savage) Indiana Police Chief Earl D. Mayo Faces Felony Charges for Allegedly Selling Guns from Evidence Room The police chief of New Chicago, Indiana, Earl D. Mayo, is facing felony charges over accusations that he sold guns from police investigations to a pawn shop. Earl D. Mayo, 45, Chief of the New Chicago, Indiana Police Department, was arrested in Clark County, Ohio and charged with seven felonies (two counts of theft, two counts of official misconduct, one count of attempted obstruction of justice, and two counts of unlawful possession of anabolic steroids) plus one misdemeanor theft count. He is accused of selling guns seized during police investigations to a pawn shop. A 47-year-old woman, Taneka Roshawn Borders, faces related charges of attempted obstruction of justice and possession of anabolic steroids for allegedly attempting to repurchase one of the guns on his behalf with $600. BEARINGARMS.COM(Savage) Virginia Governor Spanberger and AG Jay Jones Respond to Prosecutors Refusing to Enforce Assault Firearm and Large-Capacity Magazine Ban Virginia officials respond as prosecutors refuse to enforce new gun and magazine ban laws. Multiple Commonwealth's Attorneys and sheriffs across Virginia have publicly stated they will not enforce new laws banning the sale, manufacture, transfer of assault firearms and magazines over 15 rounds, plus a public carry prohibition on assault firearms, citing unconstitutionality. The measures take effect July 1. AG Jay Jones and a spokesperson for Governor Spanberger issued statements urging enforcement, emphasizing the laws were passed by the General Assembly to reduce gun violence. BEARINGARMS.COM(Savage) The Left Seems to Be Waking Up to Racist Gun Control Laws – Bearing Arms (Tom Knighton, May 26, 2026) Exploring racial bias in gun control laws and the ongoing fight for equal Second Amendment rights. This Bearing Arms opinion column discusses a Slate article by Aymann Ismail detailing his multi-year struggle to obtain a Firearm Purchaser Identification in New Jersey due to discretionary permitting practices by the Newark Police Department. The piece highlights historical racist motivations behind many early U.S. gun control measures (targeting non-whites and Catholics) and draws a through-line to modern subjective permitting systems that produce racial disparities in approval rates. It references the 1868 Camilla Massacre in Georgia as the origin of a now-invalidated ‘public gathering' carry prohibition and argues that the Supreme Court's Bruen decision properly eliminated such discretionary laws prone to abuse. GUNS.COM(Savage) Firearm Freedom Act (H.R. by Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-FL) to Repeal Hughes Amendment The Firearm Freedom Act would eliminate the legacy Hughes Amendment that bars the purchase, ownership, and transfer of newly manufactured machine guns made after 1986. The Firearm Freedom Act, introduced by Republican Rep. Jimmy Patronis of Florida in May 2026, seeks to repeal the Hughes Amendment to the Firearm Owners' Protection Act of 1986. The Hughes Amendment prohibits the purchase, ownership, and transfer of newly manufactured machine guns made after 1986. The bill is endorsed by Gun Owners of America; no cosponsors, passage status, or court cases are mentioned in the source article. PEW REPORT GOA and GOF File Lawsuit Challenging Virginia SB749 Assault Weapons Ban and SB727 Public Carry Ban Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), and 2A journalist John Crump filed suit against Virginia SB749 and SB727. The bills criminalize purchase and transfer of commonly-owned firearms and standard-capacity magazines while restricting public carry/self-defense; both take effect July 1. The complaint seeks declaratory judgment and injunction, arguing the measures violate the Second Amendment and Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution. PEW REPORT Nebraska Woman Injured by Shotgun Accidentally Discharged by Dog in Vehicle, Scottsbluff On Saturday in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, a woman standing at a traffic light near a convenience store was struck in the arm by a shotgun pellet after a dog in the back seat of a nearby truck triggered the discharge of a loaded shotgun.

The United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had quietly adjusted its modeling frameworkof a 4–5°C warming by 2100 last month. That framework had underpinned a myriad of other analyses predicting terrifying consequences for greenhouse gas emissions. “GOOD RIDDANCE!

But ultimately, scientists cited data and argued that the push towards renewable energies made that scenario less likely. Trump, who proudly champions a “drill baby, drill” energy policy, has long been skeptical of scientific claims about manmade climate change. Last year, for example, during his address to the United Nations, Trump panned climate change as a “con job.” “For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs,” the president added on Truth Social. “Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT!” Donald Trump speaking to the press before departing the White House for China.4“GOOD RIDDANCE!

Think Dutch oven cooking is too complicated? Think again. We share simple tips to help beginners enjoy cast iron cooking at camp — from seasoning and fire management to easy favorites like cobblers and chicken pot pie. Follow along and start cooking outdoors with confidence. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!   Dutch oven cooking can seem intimidating the first time you see one sitting in hot coals at camp. Heavy cast iron, open flames, charcoal management, and long cook times can make beginners nervous. But honestly, once you learn the basics, Dutch oven cooking becomes one of the most rewarding outdoor cooking experiences you can have. Why Dutch Oven Cooking Is Worth Learning Dutch oven cooking is not just about making food — it's about slowing down and enjoying the entire outdoor experience. Jeff "Tigger" Erhardt, a seasoned dutch oven master, shares from building the fire to checking the coals and finally serving up a hot meal around camp, it becomes part of the adventure. Some of our favorite recipes are simple: Fruit cobblers Chicken pot pie Campfire biscuits Chili and stews The good news? YouTube is packed with easy Dutch oven recipes and tutorials for beginners. Start with a High-Quality Dutch Oven If you want success, buy a quality cast iron Dutch oven from the start. A good oven heats evenly, lasts for decades, and makes cooking far easier. Just as important is learning how to properly season your Dutch oven. Seasoning protects the cast iron and creates the non-stick surface that makes Dutch oven cooking shine. Again, there are excellent YouTube videos that walk through the process step-by-step. Understand That Dutch Oven Cooking Takes Time This is not fast food cooking. Between getting your fire or charcoal ready and allowing food to cook properly, a Dutch oven meal can easily take two to three hours. That's normal — and part of the fun. Plan ahead: Gather enough firewood or charcoal Watch weather and wind conditions Always check for fire bans before cooking If conditions are too windy or dry, have a backup cooking plan available. Learn Fire and Coal Management One of the biggest keys to Dutch oven success is understanding heat control. Most outdoor cooks use either charcoal briquettes, hardwood embers, or a combination of both. A common rule of thumb is: One-third of the heat underneath Two-thirds of the heat on the lid Having a small shovel nearby is a huge help for moving embers and managing heat safely. Essential Dutch Oven Cooking Gear Heavy-Duty Lid Lifter A quality metal lifter helps safely move the hot Dutch oven and remove the lid without burns. Welding Gloves A good pair of welding gloves is almost mandatory. Cast iron gets extremely hot, and proper gloves protect your hands while handling lids, coals, and cookware. Cleaning Supplies — No Soap! Never clean cast iron with soap. Use hot water, a scraper or brush if needed, and dry the oven thoroughly to prevent rust. A light coat of oil after cleaning helps maintain seasoning. Final Thoughts on Dutch Oven Cooking Don't let Dutch oven cooking intimidate you. Start simple, take your time, and enjoy the process. Some of the best camp memories are built while sitting around the fire waiting for a cobbler or chicken pot pie to finish cooking. The first meal may not be perfect — but it'll probably taste better than you expected. Enjoy! Tigger & BEC Missing Hiker Found Dead in Glacier National Park; Grizzly Bear Suspected Officials in Glacier National Park say a missing hiker found dead this week was likely killed in a grizzly bear encounter, though the incident remains under investigation. Search-and-rescue crews discovered the body on May 6 in a densely wooded area about two-and-a-half miles up the Mount Brown Trail, near Lake McDonald. Park officials said the  victim's injuries were consistent with a bear attack. The hiker has been identified as 33-year-old Anthony Pollio of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. According to local reports, Pollio had planned to hike to the Mount Brown Fire Lookout, a steep and remote trail that passes through prime grizzly habitat. As investigators search the area for signs of bear activity, Glacier National Park has temporarily closed trails connected to the Sperry Trailhead near Lake McDonald Lodge. The park is home to an estimated 300 grizzly bears. If confirmed, this would be the first fatal grizzly attack in Glacier National Park since 1998. The incident comes just days after another grizzly encounter in Yellowstone National Park, where two brothers were injured but survived an attack near Old Faithful. Yellowstone officials believe that encounter involved a female grizzly protecting her cubs. Park officials continue to remind hikers in bear country to carry bear spray, make noise on trails, and remain alert in areas with limited visibility. Lastly, if planning to hike remote areas like Glacier or Yellowstone National Park, check their webpages by going to the Trail Status Report page. Reference: Missing Hiker Found Dead in Glacier National Park Was Likely Killed by a Grizzly https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/news/remains-of-missing-hiker-found.htm Federal Rule Change Greatly Expands Red Snapper Seasons in the South Atlantic Saltwater anglers along the South Atlantic coast are expected to see the longest recreational red snapper seasons in decades after federal fisheries officials approved new state-managed fishing permits for 2026. The National Marine Fisheries Service has granted special exemptions to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, allowing those states to manage recreational red snapper seasons in adjacent federal waters. The move gives state agencies far greater flexibility than the tightly restricted federal seasons that, in recent years, sometimes lasted only one or two days. The Trump administration praised the decision as a major win for recreational fishermen. President Donald Trump highlighted the expanded access in a social media post, calling the permits a long-awaited response to complaints from anglers and coastal communities. Red snapper are among the most prized offshore sport fish in the South Atlantic, valued both for their fighting ability and their popularity as table fare. Federal regulators sharply limited harvests over the past two decades because of concerns about declining populations and overfishing, including complete recreational closures in some years. Many fishermen and state officials have argued those restrictions no longer reflect current fish numbers and have criticized the federal government's stock assessments and management approach. Under the new permits, states will collect their own harvest data through mandatory reporting systems, which supporters say could provide more accurate, real-time information about red snapper populations. Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina will each offer two-month recreational seasons from July through August of 2026. Florida will hold multiple shorter openings spread across the year. Daily bag limits will remain low, generally one fish per angler per day. State officials say the expanded seasons come with added responsibility. If states can demonstrate reliable harvest monitoring and sustainable management, the permits could be extended beyond 2026.

I have seen many animal prints in the backcountry, but never one left by Lord Bear. I have encountered Grizzly in Montana, Black Bear and Black Bear scat on the ramp to the Kuwohi observation tower in Smoky Mountains National Park. Relative to Grizz, the Black Bear looks like playthings, really, really large dog-type companions tagging along on a forest jaunt. Looks are deceiving. The Black Bear could tear apart a human in nothing flat, rendering the next scat pile a mixture of berries and partly digested human bits. I did see Grizz scat while hiking a Glacier National Park trail, but no sign of paw print nor claw indentations in the soil. It was as if Lord Bear levitated while shitting. At least, the piles answer the age-old question about a bear shitting in the woods...

Blazing star, butterfly weed, and rattlesnake master are sitting atop of mind currently. There's some new laws being proposed in Mississippi that would significantly affect nonresident turkey hunters. There was a grizzly bear attack in Glacier National Park. There's a whole lot going on, along with a few more turkey ventures. Check it out!

In her acclaimed series of mysteries set in and around Glacier National Park, Christine Carbo explored the perilous intersection between humans and the natural world. In her new standalone thriller, THE CONFESSION ARTIST (Thomas & Mercer; May 5, 2026; $16.99 Paperback), Carbo shifts her focus from the remote Montana wilderness to a vast and virtually inescapable landscape rife with threats from anonymous monsters: the digital world.     It began with a pencil sketch of a middle-aged, bearded man. Someone unknown had posted it on several untraceable accounts across social media. Below the photo, in yellow block text, all caps, was a command: CONFESS, OR DIE. YOU HAVE SIX DAYS. At first, few people paid attention. About a week later, a reporter who had been intrigued by the random posts wrote that a man resembling the sketch had been fatally shot just outside of Seattle. Police denied a connection, but the accounts generated a ton of new followers. A month later, a second sketch, paired with the same chilling demand, was posted. It went viral. This time, the sketch was of a woman. By the end of that week, a female mirroring the drawing was found murdered in Santa Monica, California. When the third sketch—another male—dropped, it got global attention. Law enforcement agencies across the US, especially in the West, went on high alert. But after six days passed, no one turned up dead. Had the man fessed up and been spared?        A first-year PI in the Flathead Valley, Crosbie Mitchell yearns for something more exciting than tracking down cheating spouses. Still, she has little interest in all the buzz surrounding the killer dubbed “The Confession Artist.” Boredom aside, she doesn't regret her decision to quit the force. Being the lone woman cop in her precinct was tough even before her coworkers saw her as toxic for reporting sexual harassment. And after Jess, her sister and only family, was raped, she needed to be there for her. The real reason, however, is something Crosbie can barely think about without feeling… slimy, or worse. Yes, Crosbie has skeletons shoved deep in her closet. Yet, she's knocked for a loop when a fourth sketch goes viral and Jess gasps in horror: “It's you.” Brushing it off, Crosbie insists:  “I'm a nobody from Montana.” Then, her ex-boyfriend calls with a significant detail: the woman in the sketch is wearing the same dangling earrings, in the shape of a feather with a round stone in the center, as the handcrafted pair he gave her. You have six days to confess or die. Crosbie's heart pounds at the thought. What should she confess first?Keeping the tension building, THE CONFESSION ARTIST follows Crosbie as she digs into the identity of the online killer and evades a stalker. Before the sketch made her a public figure of wild speculation, Crosbie had been hired to investigate the suspicious death of a Native American journalist about to expose the shady and environmentally destructive practices of a local oil and natural gas company. Could Crosbie be the target of a copycat vendetta launched by Ridgefield's filthy rich and unscrupulous owner? Or maybe that charming reporter who popped up out of nowhere to interview her is really a serial killer? Oh, and Crosbie can't shake the hunch that both her ex-boyfriend and her sister know more than they're telling her.           Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Discovering Grayslake: Lessons from Jason Bishop on Art, Wildlife Photography, and Building Community Grayslake, Illinois, is a town that thrives on local spirit, creativity, and the stories of its residents. In a recent episode of the "Discovering Grayslake" podcast, host [Name] sat down with Jason Bishop—a blue-collar artist and wildlife photographer—who is opening his new studio and gallery, Jason L Bishop Fine Arts, at 236 Center Street. Their conversation is a masterclass in following your passion, building community, and embracing the journey, no matter how winding the road. Whether you're an aspiring artist, a photography enthusiast, or someone looking to make a mark in your hometown, Jason's story is packed with actionable insights. Let's break down the main themes and tips from the episode, offering you a roadmap to creative fulfillment and local impact. 1. Finding the Right Space: Let Opportunity Guide You Jason's journey to opening his gallery wasn't meticulously planned—it was sparked by necessity and serendipity. When his new printer wouldn't fit in his home studio, he started searching for a bigger space. A listing on Facebook Marketplace led him to the perfect spot in downtown Grayslake. Actionable Advice: Stay Open to Unexpected Opportunities:** Sometimes, the best spaces or opportunities come from unexpected places. Don't be afraid to explore unconventional channels like Facebook Marketplace or local classifieds. Evaluate Spaces for Flexibility:** Jason's gallery offers both a studio and a storefront, allowing him to create and display art. Look for spaces that can evolve with your needs. Let Community Shape Your Vision:** Initially, Jason planned to showcase only his work. But when other artists expressed interest, he expanded to a full gallery. Be open to collaboration—it can enrich your project and foster community. Expert Insight:   "I thought it might not work, but when I saw it, I knew it was perfect. It has a studio in the back and a storefront in front, which I didn't expect but really like." – Jason Bishop 2. Embracing Your Roots: The Power of a Blue-Collar Background Jason's story is a testament to the value of hard work and adaptability. With a background in maintenance, welding, and electrical work, he brings a practical, hands-on approach to his art. Actionable Advice: Leverage Your Unique Background:** Your previous experiences—no matter how unrelated they seem—can inform your creative process and business acumen. Balance Work and Passion:** Jason works 12-hour shifts sterilizing medical equipment, using his days off to focus on art. If you're juggling multiple roles, structure your time to nurture your creative pursuits. Don't Wait for the "Perfect" Time:** Start where you are, with what you have. Jason's journey began with a simple desire to learn and a willingness to experiment. Expert Insight:   "I'm very much a blue-collar guy… I currently work at a company in Libertyville that sterilizes medical equipment and food products. It's a 12-hour split shift, so I have some days off to focus on my art." – Jason Bishop 3. Learning by Doing: Self-Taught Success in Photography Jason's foray into photography was inspired by Instagram and fueled by curiosity. He taught himself through YouTube, Google, and hands-on experimentation. Actionable Advice: Use Free Resources:** The internet is a treasure trove of tutorials, forums, and inspiration. Don't underestimate the power of self-education. Experiment with Techniques:** Jason's early experiments included steel wool spinning and long-exposure photography. Try new styles and techniques to find your niche. Find Your Passion:** Event photography wasn't for Jason, but wildlife photography lit a fire in him. Explore different genres until you find what excites you. Expert Insight:   "I bought my first camera and started teaching myself through YouTube and Google. My youngest daughter encouraged me to try steel wool spinning photography… That was a fun experience." – Jason Bishop 4. Wildlife Photography: Patience, Respect, and Connection Jason's most compelling work comes from his deep connection with wildlife, especially wild mustangs in Utah and animals in national parks. Actionable Advice: Do Your Homework:** Research animal behavior and habitats before heading out. Understanding your subjects leads to better, more respectful photography. Be Patient and Observant:** Wildlife photography often means long hours of waiting and watching. Jason spends days tracking herds and observing their dynamics. Respect Nature:** Safety is paramount—for both you and the animals. Jason recounts close calls with wild stallions, emphasizing the need for caution and respect. Expert Insight:   "I spend hours tracking their movements, sometimes hiking miles away from my truck. The horses have strong family units, and I've witnessed everything from peaceful interactions to intense battles." – Jason Bishop 5. Building a Gallery: Community, Collaboration, and Curation Jason's gallery is more than a showcase for his work—it's a hub for local artists and art lovers. Actionable Advice: Curate with Intention:** Feature a mix of your own work and that of other artists to create a dynamic, inclusive space. Engage the Community:** Host events, participate in local festivals, and keep your doors open. Jason's gallery hours are flexible, but he's always accessible via social media or phone. Promote Local Talent:** Collaborate with artists like Liz Park and Brittany Olivia to diversify your offerings and support the local art scene. Expert Insight:   "Other artists reached out wanting to display their art too, so it's becoming a full gallery… We aim to have a variety of art to appeal to different tastes." – Jason Bishop 6. Marketing and Outreach: Authenticity Wins Jason's approach to marketing is rooted in authenticity and personal connection. Actionable Advice: Be Yourself:** People are drawn to genuine stories and personalities. Jason's down-to-earth style resonates with visitors and listeners alike. Leverage Social Media:** Use platforms like Facebook to share updates, gallery hours, and behind-the-scenes content. Network Locally:** Participate in art fairs, join the Chamber of Commerce, and connect with other local businesses. Expert Insight:   "People have stopped in to admire the work and chat. I've also met folks who have seen me at art fairs around Illinois." – Jason Bishop 7. Balancing Life, Work, and Art: The Reality of the Creative Hustle Jason's story is a reminder that pursuing your passion often means balancing multiple commitments. Actionable Advice: Set Realistic Expectations:** If you're working full-time, accept that your creative hours may be limited. Communicate this clearly to your audience. Prioritize Self-Care:** Long hours and creative work can be draining. Make time for rest, family, and personal milestones—like Jason's upcoming wedding in Glacier National Park. Celebrate Small Wins:** From art fair ribbons to community support, acknowledge every step forward. Expert Insight:   "Hours will be sporadic since I still work full-time, but people can check Facebook or call/text me for availability." – Jason Bishop 8. Embracing Mistakes and Growth: The Artist's Mindset Jason's rapid-fire Q&A reveals a philosophy of acceptance and growth. Actionable Advice: Don't Fear Mistakes:** Every misstep is a lesson. Jason wouldn't undo any part of his journey, recognizing that mistakes led him to where he is today. Stay Humble and Curious:** Whether it's learning new music for a date or dreaming of photographing in Tanzania, keep pushing your boundaries. Share Your Story:** Vulnerability and honesty build trust and connection with your audience. Expert Insight:   "My life is full of mistakes that led me here, so I accept them all." – Jason Bishop 9. Why Hometown Matters: The Value of Local Roots Jason didn't set out to open his gallery in Grayslake, but the town's welcoming spirit and vibrant downtown made it the perfect fit. Actionable Advice: Support Local:** Whether you're an artist or a patron, investing in your local community strengthens everyone. Find Your Place:** Sometimes, the right location finds you. Be open to where your journey leads. Give Back:** Jason's gallery is a space for everyone—artists, neighbors, and visitors alike. Expert Insight:   "Grayslake's downtown is really cool, and this space is perfect with a separate studio and gallery. It's been great to separate work from home life." – Jason Bishop 10. Getting Involved: How to Support and Connect Jason's story is an invitation to get involved—whether by visiting his gallery, supporting local businesses, or starting your own creative venture. Actionable Advice: Visit Local Galleries:** Stop by Jason L Bishop Fine Arts at 236 Center Street, Grayslake. Check social media for hours or reach out directly. Attend Community Events:** Art fairs, grand openings, and Chamber of Commerce events are great ways to connect. Share and Celebrate Local Stories:** Amplify the voices and talents in your community.

The moment a repair estimate lands, every driver asks the same question: am I maintaining a car or financing its last years? We get specific about the “sell it” repairs that blow up budgets fast, from a blown head gasket to a transmission replacement, cracked engine block, air suspension failure, and the kind of electrical problems that eat shop time without guaranteeing a clean fix. We also talk overheating damage like warped or cracked cylinder heads, heater core replacement that requires major dash work, and timing chain or timing belt failures that can turn into valve and piston damage on interference engines. The goal is simple: help you make a calm decision when repair costs start to outrun your car's value.Once you choose not to repair, we walk through what to do with the vehicle next: selling privately, trading it in, donating it for pickup, or turning it into a project car. If you've ever stared at a “fix it or sell it” crossroads, this part gives you practical next steps instead of guilt.Then we shift into summer mode with national park road trips and driving-focused routes worth planning for, including Glacier National Park's Going-To-The-Sun Road, Yosemite's Tioga Pass at high elevation, and Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park where brake management matters on long descents. We close with a straightforward review of a hybrid minivan that leans SUV in style, covering interior space, cargo flexibility, fuel economy, and pricing against familiar competitors.If you enjoy real-world car advice and road-trip planning, subscribe, share this with a friend who's debating a big repair, and leave a review with the most expensive fix you've ever faced.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!

This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey swap the popcorn for bear spray as they dive into Grizzly Night, the 2026 survival thriller from debut director Burke Doeren.Thanks to the teams at Hold Fast Public Relations and Eagle Entertainment, the duo got an early look at this gripping creature feature, available now on DVD and VOD in Australia.But don't let the "creature feature" label fool you. Grizzly Night is less Cocaine Bear and more sobering docudrama — and that's exactly what caught Jamie and Corrina off guard.Rooted in the chilling true story of the 1967 ‘Night of the Grizzlies', the film recreates two fatal grizzly bear attacks that occurred on the very same night, just miles apart, inside Glacier National Park. It's a premise so wild that, as Jamie puts it, "if this were written as a totally made-up story, you'd be like — that's outrageous." And yet, it happened. Fact truly is stranger than fiction.Jamie and Corrina unpack the film's unusual tone, its grounded approach to storytelling, and the way it reframes the idea of who, or what, is really to blame. There's talk of low-budget limitations, surprisingly effective practical and CGI work, and a few moments that don't quite land, but also a genuine appreciation for the film's message around conservation and human responsibility.Highlights Breakdown: - Breaking down the true events behind the 1967 “Night of the Grizzlies” and how the film adapts them. - Why Grizzly Night leans more into docudrama than horror, and whether that works. - The clever filmmaking tricks that sell the tension without showing full-on attacks. - Exploring the film's core message, shifting blame from animals to human behaviour.It's not quite horror. Not fully drama either. Somewhere in between, maybe a little messy, but worth talking about.Corrina calls it her Bambi moment. Jamie calls it unexpectedly heartbreaking. Both agree: for a low-budget, straight-to-VOD release, Grizzly Night lands a message that is clear, important, and worth your time.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

New car shopping feels like it should be getting easier, yet the spring market is doing the opposite. From our live remote at the Tailpipes and Tacos Easter edition at Loopy Tortilla in Katy, we break down why U.S. auto sales are sputtering as the season changes and why volatility may be back on the menu.We connect the dots on the big forces squeezing buyers right now: vehicle affordability, a jump in gasoline prices, soft job growth, and consumer confidence that just is not there. We also talk about how the loss of a federal EV tax credit can ripple through electric vehicle demand, and we debate the kind of leadership decisions that leave enthusiasts shaking their heads, including the controversy around dropping V8 models even as brands try to pivot.Then we switch gears into pure summer planning with a driver-focused national parks road trip guide. We cover standout roads like Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road, Yosemite's Tioga Pass, and Rocky Mountain National Park's Trail Ridge Road, plus practical driving tips for altitude, braking on long descents, and picking the right vehicle whether you are bringing the whole family or just chasing a great stretch of pavement.We also hit a packed events calendar and close with a hard look at dealership pricing transparency, including an FTC case tied to hidden add-ons and mandatory fees.

Today, I will be speaking with a lifelong carpenter who found a way to combine his special skills with adventure to create a completely new lifestyle. Rick McClure discovered Workamping in a way that couldn't have been more unexpected. After retiring, Rick came across a post about a cabin-building opportunity just outside Glacier National Park. He responded quickly, which led to a phone call and, within minutes, he had secured a position that turned into one of the most rewarding experiences of his life. Rick shares how his skills as a carpenter opened the door to a Workamping role that combined meaningful work, flexible hours and an incredible location on 180 acres near the east entrance of Glacier. He talks about building cabins and decks, serving as a camp host, and enjoying daily encounters with wildlife and travelers from around the world. Rick also explains how this opportunity allowed him to work on his own terms, earn a solid wage, and even create a memorable summer experience with his daughter. If you've ever wondered how your existing skills could translate into a Workamping lifestyle, or how one opportunity can lead to many more, Rick's story is a great example of what's possible when you simply take a chance and say yes to Workamping. Rick's story is a great reminder that Workamping doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it starts with a single conversation and a willingness to jump in. For Rick, that leap led to a fulfilling role where he could use the skills he developed over a lifetime, enjoy the outdoors, meet interesting people and create a lifestyle that fits exactly what he wants at this stage of life. His story highlighted the flexibility of Workamping, the value of trusting your instincts when evaluating an opportunity, and the importance of finding a good fit with the people you work with. Rick also showed how Workamping can open doors to future opportunities, including additional projects and new locations, all while maintaining control over your schedule and workload. As he looks ahead, Rick plans to continue returning to the Glacier National Park area while exploring other opportunities. That proves Workamping can be a stable source of income and a source of adventure at the same time. If you'd like to connect with Rick and learn more about his experience, you can find him on Facebook under the name Ricky Rooster in Pasco, Wash. If you'd like to explore opportunities like the one Rick found, be sure to visit Workamper.com to discover a wide range of Workamping positions across the country.

Alice Henderson discusses the challenges of writing thrillers set in nature, her adventures in plotting, and how listeners can contribute their own regional climactic observations to ecological research. Plus, she offers a preview into the latest installment of her Alex Walker thriller series, Storm Warning. Alice Henderson's love of wild places inspired her new thriller series, which begins with A Solitude of Wolverines, as well as her novel Voracious, which takes place in Glacier National Park. Alice is a dedicated wildlife researcher. Using a variety of methods including bioacoustic studies, she undertakes wildlife surveys to determine what species are present on lands that have been set aside for conservation. There she ensures there are no signs of poaching and devises ways to improve habitat. Using geographic information systems (GIS), she also designs wildlife corridors and builds habitat suitability models and species distribution models. She has surveyed for the presence of grizzlies, wolves, spotted owls, wolverines, jaguars, endangered bats, and more. She has also written media tie-in novels, including official novels for the TV shows Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While working at LucasArts, she wrote material for several Star Wars video games. She was selected to attend Launchpad, a NASA-funded writing workshop aimed at bringing accurate science to fiction. She holds an interdisciplinary master's degree. Learn more at alicehenderson.comMore information about the topics Alice discussed: US Phenology NetworkNature's NotebookAmerican PikaNorth American Pika Consortium Irina ShapiroJames RollinsGraham Brown / Clive CusslerSpecial thanks to NetGalley for early novel previews. Intro reel, Writing Table Podcast 2024 Outro RecordingFollow the Writing Table: @writingtablepodcastEmail questions or tell us who you'd like us to invite to the Writing Table: writingtablepodcast@gmail.com.

Today I am speaking with a woman who has been Workamping for one employer for many years, but decided she would like to spread her wings to a different part of the country. Workamper Kim Spurlock is embracing a new chapter in life a few months before she turns 65. A few years ago, she transitioned from a career in nursing into the Workamping lifestyle. She describes how that leap opened the door to new experiences she wasn't expecting, such as managing a bait shop at a fishing camp in Arkansas. In this episode, Kim talks about what draws people into the Workamping lifestyle, how to get started even without prior experience, and why it is never too late to try something completely different. Kim also talks about the freedom that comes with living and working on the road, the importance of taking things slow and how Workamping has allowed her to connect with others while building a life on her own terms. If you have ever wondered whether you could step into the RV or Workamping lifestyle later in life, Kim's story shows you can learn as you go and still enjoy the journey along the way. Kim's story is a great example of what makes the Workamping lifestyle so appealing. She stepped into something new, learned skills along the way and found joy in helping others enjoy their experiences. From running a bait shop to managing cabins and creating welcoming environments for guests, Kim discovered that being a people person is one of the most valuable traits a Workamper can have. She also highlighted the importance of planning ahead, taking your time on the road and being open to opportunities, which she hopes will lead her to the East Coast, Oregon or somewhere in between. Most importantly, Kim reminded us that Workamping offers freedom. It is a chance to choose how you spend your time, where you go and how you build a lifestyle that fits what you like to do. If you are an employer looking for someone with management experience, a strong work ethic and a passion for helping people to enjoy a great time, Kim would love to connect. You can reach her directly by email at kym4041@gmail.com. Today's episode is sponsored by Workamper News. Much more than just a job-listing website, when you put the tools of this professional service into action, you'll find out just how easy it can be to turn your Workamping dreams into reality.

This week on News Now, reporter Taylor Inman begins inside Glacier National Park, where crews are preparing to seal Montana's first oil well - more than 125 years after it was drilled near Kintla Lake. The historic project will impact campground access and highlights a little-known chapter of early oil exploration in the region.Next, Kalispell voters are set to decide on a $1.1 million levy to fund elementary schools. With rising costs and declining enrollment, district leaders say the outcome could shape staffing, class sizes, and day-to-day operations across six schools.We also take a closer look at the dangers of backcountry aviation after two fatal crashes at Ryan Field near West Glacier. Pilots and experts explain how terrain, weather, and experience levels can make mountain flying especially risky.Finally, Libby officials have lifted a months-long water advisory following December's flooding, marking a major step toward recovery after significant infrastructure damage.Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

Our first storyteller is Rad Wilkins, who as a wildlife biologist embraced the title of “poop ologist” and carried a pungent, fermented concoction called “the brew” into the backcountry to entice grizzly bears. When the love of his life came to visit his remote camp, he had to quickly learn the true rules of bear country before a romantic proposal turned into a terrifying, close encounter in a story that he calls “Wild Proposals”. Rad Watkins is a lifelong nature lover and conservationist based in Missoula, Montana. He currently serves as Executive Director of the Missoula Conservation District, where he helps lead efforts to protect local streams, wildlife, and working lands. His career has taken him from the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest studying endangered seabirds, to Glacier National Park collecting grizzly bear DNA, to the Northwoods of Wisconsin tracking wolves and rehabbing bald eagles. Rad also loves personal development, and he's a certified life coach who does some leadership speaking and training. At home, he, his wife Gretchen, and their kids, Lena and Norris, enjoy doing what Montanans do best: floating rivers, skiing, hiking, and spending time outdoors with their dogs and horses. You can find Rad on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. In our next story, Bridget Feerick flies thousands of miles to Peru and connects with a mysterious, motorcycling solo traveler. With a language barrier, a gut feeling, and a wild invitation to ride with him to Canada, she must decide if taking a leap of faith is worth the risk of a true-life adventure. Bridget calls her story “My Gut Says WHAT!?…and it was Awesome!” Thanks for listening. Bridget Feerick started her journey on this planet being born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. She traveled the world before making her home in Missoula, Montana and has continued to explore this country and the world beyond. Her passion for the outdoors is matched by a deep commitment to community engagement and social justice. Bridget holds people in transitions using her intuitive powers as an organizer, cleaner, birth/postpartum/death doula, yoga instructor, herbalist, reiki and sound healing practitioner, and so on and so forth. Oh, and she likes to get weird whether it’s through her performance art pieces or just trying to be free in a world with too many boxes. She hopes to empower and inspire as many people as she can to tap into their own intuitive powers. Trying to escape the dark Missoula winter, a staycation house-sitting gig promises a hot tub and mountain views for Marc Moss, and instead, delivers freezing temperatures and the demanding care of a dog, a cat, and eleven chickens. What starts as a simple favor quickly turns into a crisis when a frantic call from Chile reveals an unfortunate fire and a scramble to rehouse the traumatized poultry. Marc calls his story “The Girls”. Marc Moss founded Tell Us Something in 2011 and lives with his life partner, Joyce, and their perpetual kitten, Ziggy on Missoula's historic Northside. While trekking deep into the Bob Marshall Wilderness to photograph the monumental Chinese Wall, Brian Christianson finally slows down to appreciate the remote mountain solitude with his partner. When a tiny movement catches their eye, they hold their breath for what could be the wildlife encounter of a lifetime. Brian calls his story “Ridge Lessons”. Brian Christianson's love for mountains began on the pages of books while growing up in Southern Minnesota. A family trip to Colorado at age 10 confirmed the future: mountains or bust. He proceeded to study photography and geography at the University of Colorado before moving to Montana in 2008. Brian works as a nature photographer with a curiosity for wilderness in Western Montana. He shares a life with his wife Linds and cat Roo.

In the second episode of our Latino Forestry Workforce series, guest host Gaby Eseverri speaks with Manuel Machado, who is the Natural Resource Workforce Program Coordinator for the Oregon State University Extension Program. This episode was made possible with support from Rivershed SPC, and we are immensely grateful for their help in making this series happen.  Manuel works with community-based organizations across the Pacific Northwest to develop bilingual learner-centric educational materials for H-2B and immigrant forestry sector workers, while developing programming that raises awareness of the labor-intensive forest workforce. His work aims to make this work safer and more equitable, particularly through engagement with the Latine forestry workforce in Oregon. Gaby Eseverri is a journalist based in Missoula, Montana, and originally from Miami. In addition to print journalism, she also helps produce Glacier National Park's Headwaters Podcast, which we highly recommend you check out.  In this episode, Gaby and Manuel spoke about the Latine forestry workforce in the Pacific Northwest, including the workforce's history, how H-2B and immigrant status contributes to a culture of exploitation rooted in a fear of deportation, as well as the nature of forestry and fire work. Gaby and Manuel also discuss the physical, economic and systemic risks faced by this workforce, and how the model and increasing demand for forest resilience work—which includes post-fire restoration, thinning/wildfire risk reduction, and other essential forestry tasks—relies heavily on often underpaid and easily-exploited H-2B and immigrant workers.  Please note that we will be releasing a third and final episode on this topic in a few days. This final episode—also hosted by Gaby with guest Manuel— will be published in Spanish, and will focus more on the resources, training and educational materials Manuel has created and made available for the Latine workforce on Oregon and beyond.  Another note: This episode was recorded in November 2025, just a few months after the incident in Washington State when two wildland firefighters were detained by Border Patrol on an active wildfire. More information about this incident can be found at the links below.  https://utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/08/30/immigration-raid-at-washington-blaze-stokes-fear-in-wildfire-crews-nationwide/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-agents-arrest-fire-crew-members-washington-wildfire-rcna227797   A few highlights from the conversation (full transcript can be found here):  "So a lot of the work that the Latine workforce is involved in what land management agencies refer to as forestry services. So this includes everything from planting work, hazardous fuels reduction work, tree thinning, forest restoration, pesticide application. Also, increasingly they're doing more work in fire suppression. So working on the fire line, much of that labor intensive work." "Many of these contractors are based in Southern Oregon, and although they're based here in Medford, in the Rogue Valley, and they travel all over the Pacific Northwest and the US, the workers themselves are brought primarily from Mexico and increasingly from Guatemala and Central America as h-2b visa workers. So the amount of h-2b visa workers is increasing." "The way the forest service handles contracting often awards the lowest bidder, and although this does ensure a lower price per acre, often means that the workers don't get paid as much as I believe they deserve." "With undocumented workers, you know there's that added layer of vulnerability, because they face deportation, and although they can change employers because they have specified documents which allow them that flexibility to change employers, if the employer, at any time, finds out that they are documented, they face that added risk of using that as a threat against them. Given the policies that we're seeing, there's likely to be an increase in labor violations and just less enforcement due to these policies we're seeing under the Trump administration." "It's really just an entire system that's turned on them at a time when I think their work so important, right? They are literally the ones planting trees after fire, or the ones who are fighting fire, the ones who are implementing those treatments that reduce fire risk and restore our forests." "I think a good example (of something actionable) could be for firefighters. We often hear them advocating for better pay and working conditions…but it's important for them to understand that, you know, if an increasing portion of the firefighting workforce is reliant on h-2b visa workers that don't have the same rights, well, then what can they do to build solidarity with those H-2b visa workers? A rising tide will lift all boats, so they have to really consider all of these different segments of the workforce if they want to be more effective at actively bargaining for those working conditions and better pay." "So I always ask the workers themselves, what's something that you would like the general public or policymakers or decision makers to know? What would you tell them, if you had the opportunity to speak with them? The most common responses that I've gotten is that they just want more for the important work that they do." 

Host Taylor Inman details the major shifts coming to Northwest Montana this year, starting with a significant overhaul of visitor access in Glacier National Park. As the park officially ends its vehicle reservation system, officials are introducing a new ticketed shuttle service and a three-hour parking limit at Logan Pass to manage congestion. We also look at the extensive construction schedule for 2026, including utility and road projects at Two Medicine and St. Mary that will result in seasonal closures.The episode also breaks down the 2026 Economic Outlook for the region. Despite a national "no hire, no fire" economy, Flathead County continues to lead Montana in employment growth, fueled by persistent in-migration and a rebounding multi-family housing market. Finally, we cover a $2.3 million jury award in a personal injury lawsuit against BNSF Railway involving a longtime Whitefish engineer, marking a major legal conclusion to a three-year battle.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

This week it's just Rebecca and Shannon trying to break down what's actually happening at Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park in 2026. No vehicle reservation system at Glacier. (And reminder: there has never been one at Yellowstone.) But there are changes to entrance fees — especially for international visitors — including a new $100 nonresident fee at both parks. We're walking through what's new, what's not, what free entrance days mean this year, and what you need to know before loading up the car and heading west. Are we experts? Absolutely not. Will we try to explain it anyway? You bet.

This week on News Now, reporter Taylor Inman breaks down six of the Flathead Valley's biggest and most talked-about stories — from federal policy changes at Glacier National Park to heated local land-use decisions and community highlights.We begin with Glacier National Park removing interpretive displays following a federal directive, raising questions about how public lands tell history and whose voices are represented. From there, we dive into a controversial decision approving a Lakeside marina dock extension, despite widespread public opposition, and examine why county officials moved forward anyway.The episode also covers a Montana Supreme Court ruling that clears the way for the Happy's Inn RV park, along with a proposed lease at Polson Bay Golf Course that could reshape public access and future development. We then shift gears to community news, including the Whitefish Winter Carnival parade, featuring a surprise appearance by a NASA astronaut, before closing with standout performances at the Class AA State Speech and Debate Tournament.Read these full stories on dailyinterlake.com:Glacier National Park podcast, displays axed under Trump directive | Hungry Horse News Word for word: Flathead wins second, Glacier third at state speech championship | Daily Inter Lake Flathead County OKs resort's 159-foot marina dock in Lakeside | Daily Inter Lake State Supreme Court rules in favor of county, developer | Western News A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

Eine Ehe beginnt normalerweise mit einem Versprechen für die Ewigkeit. Bei Jordan und Cody hält dieses Versprechen genau acht Tage.Der lebensfrohe Cody ist unsterblich in seine Verlobte verliebt. Er will eine Familie, eine Zukunft, ein gemeinsames Leben. Seine Braut Jordan ist 22, schüchtern und tief religiös. Doch während Cody die Nähe sucht, zieht Jordan Mauern hoch. Schon am Morgen nach der Hochzeit ist klar, dass hinter der glücklichen Fassade der Hochzeitsfotos ein Konflikt brodelt, von dem niemand im Umfeld ahnt.Und dann verschwindet Cody nur eine Woche nach dem Ja-Wort spurlos. Während die Familie verzweifelt nach Antworten sucht, zeigt Jordan ein Verhalten, das Rätsel aufgibt. Sie wirkt unbeschwert, fast schon erleichtert. Als plötzlich eine mysteriöse E-Mail auftaucht, die alles verändern könnte, beginnt damit auch eine geheimnisvolle Suche im weitläufigen Glacier National Park! TRIGGER-WARNUNG ! Partnerschaftsgewalt, Tötungsdelikt, Manipulation, Religiöser Druck / Erwartungshaltung, Tod eines EhepartnersWeil eure Haut es wert ist, dass man sich um sie kümmert. Mit FORMEL Skin

This week on News Now, Daily Inter Lake host Taylor Inman breaks down the biggest headlines shaping northwest Montana.We begin in Flathead County, where a 34-year-old man faces a felony criminal endangerment charge after allegedly shooting out a vehicle window on U.S. Highway 2 near Hungry Horse. Court documents detail the arrest, the unusual weapons investigators say were found, and what comes next as the case heads to arraignment.Next, we look at the devastating fire that destroyed the Cattle Baron Supper Club in Babb — a family-run landmark with more than a century of history just outside Glacier National Park. Owners Bob and Charlene Burns recount how the blaze spread during extreme winds, the massive regional firefighting response, and their hopes to rebuild after losing a piece of Blackfeet and community history.We also examine the illegal killing of a federally protected grizzly bear in northern Idaho near the Montana border. With the Cabinet-Yaak grizzly population already among the most imperiled in the Lower 48, wildlife officials explain why the death of a single female could set recovery efforts back years — and why the reward for information now stands at $15,000.Finally, state lawmakers grapple with how to regulate kratom in Montana. With no current statewide restrictions and growing concern over synthetic products, legislators debate public safety risks, failed legislation, and what — if anything — can be done before the 2027 session.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!
