You learned which streets you could walk on and which ones you did not dare to. However, by 1983, when we lived off of “Six and Gratiot” the city was taking a hard turn for the worse. My mother was born and lived for a time in rural Ohio in her youth. My parents decided that we needed a change from city life so, like the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse, we packed up the truck and moved from the bright lights of the big city to the cornfields of rural Holmes County, Ohio. It turned out to be one of the best and most important experiences of my life.      A “Hobby Farm” Leaving Detroit behind, we moved into a small farm house that had previously been built by the English, but most recently owned by the Amish, therefore it had no electricity, telephone, etc. when we took occupancy. There were indoor plumbing and fixtures, but they weren't hooked up. For the first few weeks we roughed it, lighting the house with kerosene lamps in the evening, using an outhouse and drawing water from an outside well. There was a genuine wood-burning cook stove in the kitchen where my mother prepared our hot food until the electrician came to hook up the power and the plumber got the inside water running.

We dive into program cattle and learn why the CARE Program could be beneficial for cattle producers.  Plus more updates on avian flu, how to cook meat to make sure it's safe, markets, hay auctions, and lots more on this all new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 186 DETAILS   CARE PROGRAM CATTLE FROM IMI GLOBAL   CARE Certified Where Food Comes From CARE Certified is a suite of sustainability standards that certifies participating farmers and ranchers are implementing best practices in animal care, environmental stewardship and supporting their local communities and the people within them. Beef, pork, poultry, dairy and fish are all available   Animal Care Farms and ranches care about their animals, they are their livelihood.  They spend every day with these animals to ensure they are as healthy and content as possible. The Animal Care pillar ensures that farms and ranches are caring for their animals.  Things we look at include spacing, access to food and water, nutrition plans, how animals are transported and more.  Environmental Stewardship Farms and ranches know that they have to be good stewards of the land today in order to have a tomorrow. The Environmental Stewardship pillar of each CARE Standard ensures consumers that farms and ranches have procedures and management plans in place. Consumers can rest assured that CARE products have come from farms and ranches that are doing what they can to improve the environment.   People & Community Farms and ranches aren't built by one person, they are built by a community.  Whether it's helping your neighbors do chores when they're shorthanded, donating the food they've raised to the local school or simply being there when a natural disaster hits. CARE represents a community of farms and ranches that are committed to doing the right thing.  They lean on each other when they need it, and they give back to their local communities and the people within them.   Cattle Industry News BIRD FLU UPDATE: NEW CASES IN MICHIGAN, NORTH DAKOTA CHECKS IN, LAWMAKERS WEIGH IN State animal health officials confirmed new cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in dairy cows in Michigan. That announcement comes as North Dakota announced no cases so far and U.S. senators called for better communication among regulators to help stem the tide of new outbreaks.  The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) announced positive tests for HPAI in dairy cows in Clinton, Gratiot and Ionia counties, with additional testing expected soon. MDARD stated that the best tool available to combat the spread of HPAI, regardless of species, is using enhanced biosecurity efforts that include isolating new or returning animals on farms, monitoring the health of animals daily, and cleaning and disinfecting trailers used to haul animals. Meanwhile, officials in North Dakota reported there have been no cases of HPAI in cattle as of May 10, although the infections of dairy cows in nine other states this spring continues to be monitored, according to State Veterinarian Dr. Ethan Andress. USDA recently announced plans to provide a total of $98 million to help states and ranchers stem the spread of HPAI beyond birds as state and federal officials continue to monitor cases in 42 herds so far, including South Dakota. Enhanced biosecurity efforts are expected to remain in place as new information about HPAI in cows is gathered, officials added.   PROPER COOKING KILLS H5N1 IN GROUND BEEF With the continued spread of H5N1, some have questioned the proper way to prepare beef to ensure its safety.  The USDA said in its latest update that ongoing research shows that standard recommended procedures for cooking ground beef eliminates the H5N1 virus. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service or APHIS reported that no virus remained in burgers cooked to 145 and 160 degrees Fahrenheit and that these results validate that recommended cooking temperatures are sufficient to kill H5N1 in meat.     UPCOMING SALES & EVENTS World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale: May 16 - 19, 2024, Miles City, Montana   BULL SALE REPORT & RESULTS Churchill Cattle Company Van Newkirk Herefords Gardiner Angus Ranch Cow Camp Ranch Jungels Shorthorn Farms Ellingson Angus Edgar Brothers Angus Schaff Angus Valley Prairie Hills Gelbvieh Clear Springs Cattle Company CK Cattle Mrnak Hereford Ranch Frey Angus Ranch Hoffmann Angus Farms Topp Herefords River Creek Farms Upstream Ranch Gustin's Diamond D Gelbvieh Schiefelbein Farms Wasem Red Angus Raven Angus Krebs Ranch Yon Family Farms Chestnut Angus Eichacker Simmentals & JK Angus Windy Creek Cattle Company Pedersen Broken Heart Ranch Mar Mac Farms Warner Beef Genetics Arda Farms & Freeway Angus Leland Red Angus & Koester Red Angus Fast - Dohrmann - Strommen RBM Livestock Weber Land & Cattle Sundsbak Farms Hidden Angus Wheatland Cattle Company Miller Angus Farms L 83 Ranch U2 Ranch Vollmer Angus Ranch A & B Cattle Carter Angus Farms Roller Ranch Montgomery Ranch Jorgensen Farms DLCC Ranch Four Hill Farm North Country Angus Alliance Spruce Hill Ranch Wilson Angus   FEATURING Doug Stanton @imiglobal https://www.imiglobal.com/ Mark VanZee Livestock Market, Equine Market, Auction Time https://www.auctiontime.com/ https://www.livestockmarket.com/ https://www.equinemarket.com/ @LivestockMkt @EquineMkt @AuctionTime Kirk Donsbach: Stone X Financial https://www.stonex.com/   @StoneXGroupInc    Shaye Koester Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ @cattleconvos   Questions & Concerns From The Field?

Holly, thank you for being here. I was wondering if you would introduce yourself.   Holly Healy  Sure. Thanks for having me. My name is Holly Healy and I have been a board member for two years now. I'm also a family nurse practitioner, and I practice in pediatrics for the past 17 years.   Carrie Schmitt  So I'm really excited to have this conversation because I think you could really help other family nurse practitioners, pediatricians, who also are on the frontlines of encountering people who are coming with concerning behaviors or some school reports that they can't make sense of. So tell me a little bit about how you got connected with the STAR Institute?   Holly Healy  Sure, I'd love to. So when my oldest who is now 11, was around four or five, we started to notice some behavioral differences with her and a lot of dysregulation, so it manifested in behavioral outbursts, and just really difficulty with sleep. And so we went to a counselor to try to figure it out, because we kept saying, well, she's anxious, she's anxious. So the counselor handed me, Lucy Jane Miller's book, and my husband and I read it together. And it was like a revelation. And we thought, this is her. This is this exactly explains, you know, what is going on. And so I read as much information as I could, and we got her into OT, we started changing things at home. And we didn't see a lot of progress at first. And so reading the book, I realized in going on the website, I realized, oh, there are trained OTs, by star, that have gone through a mentorship program. So when we finally kept hitting several walls, you know, with our OT treatment, I drove her four miles to the closest OT, who had been mentored by Starr and took her to Asheville, North Carolina, and we met with this amazing therapist, and the first thing she told me was, you know, we see things differently, we have a different lens in which we see children. With sensory processing disorder, she took two hours, and it changed our lives. And so from there, we launched into implementing a sensory diet every day, we got her into chiropractor, we got her into vision therapy, and then we also got her into horseback riding. So we learned that this wasn't just a once a week, go to OT, you know, and it was more this is, you know, this is part of like your life, this is how you need to change things daily. And, you know, it wasn't drastic, it was just small changes, and how we would view how does she need to start her day off, you know, it may not be what normal kids do to start their days. And so I also got myself certified with at the time it was called integrated listening systems, they've changed now to unite. So I got myself certified, and we put her through the focus program that I did, and got her started on the dream pads. So we just really implemented everything because we were honestly desperate to get her to a happy place. And, but also, I just, I'm a big fan of just learning information. And with her OT, I could never go back into the room. I didn't know what, what they were doing and how he could help her. So with with that particular visit, I stayed with them the whole time with this therapist that was trained by Starr and I was like, Oh, my goodness, this is fascinating, because I had so many questions that I could never really get answered, because the traditional treatment is I'm going to take your child back for an hour, I'll be back. And I'll give you two minutes to let you know what we did. And then I'll see you next week. So it was it was transforming. And so I then implemented it more into my practice. And I started to see children differently, that we're coming in with struggles, and I started to just completely change my perspective on how to help parents, from my own personal experience, and then just educating myself. So that's why I wanted to be a board member to just so I could help. From my perspective as a parent and a professional, help the you know, the organization, get get the word out, you know, how can we make this? How can we make everybody more aware of how to how to integrate it.   Carrie Schmitt  Thank you for sharing that a couple of things jumped out at me. One is, I'm thinking it's Dr. Miller's book, sensational kids. Yes. Okay. Yeah. So we'll put all of this in our show notes. So if you're listening and you're interested in reading This book, sensational kids hope and help for children with sensory processing disorder, you know, that has been transformative for people who are otherwise unaware of sensory processing differences, to read that book and know that this is its own diagnostic category, right, it's not listed in the DSM. Right now the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, it we have had efforts to get sensory processing differences or disorder, you know, classified as such, yet the science is telling us it truly exists. And one of the other things that you pointed out was that in that book, Dr. Miller shares, the development of the Star model. Model is a different approach to occupational therapy intervention for children with sensory processing differences. And one of the key features of our model is that it is fully relational, and that all of our intervention includes one or both parents in every session. And then every fifth or sixth session is parents only. So it's parent education focused, we're in, we recognize that you're the expert in your child, and we have a sensory lens, and we could guide you to adapt your lifestyle, to the new understanding of who your child is through that sensory lens. And it sounds like that's exactly what happened for you, this occupational therapist said, I'm going to put this sensory lens on, tell you what I see about your daughter. And then here are some lifestyle changes that would support improved regulation in her system. And then you as the expert went out and resourced all of those things, and implemented them with the support of a sensory trained occupational therapist. So I loved that. That's   Holly Healy  Yeah, and she gave us you know, some exercises to get started. And then I thought, I used this out of sync child has fun it was it has a bunch of activities in it. So what I did, and this might help parents, you know, it has some great information, I think I got the flashcards to one of the symposiums. But every every morning, I would wake up early, and I would just piece together, okay, this is what I'm going to do today. Because my daughter is a, she's a heavy into the heavy work, she was, you know, her ot really say, give her the heavy work. So I'd put together, you know, some things that would give me about 15 minutes every day of, you know, of activities for her to do says she could start her day off, right. So it's really just, you know, for parents, it's just taking the time to sit down, put together some activities, which I find fun, because I'm active too. And then just making sure each morning that your your child starts off, like getting their system regulated, it's like adults that need to take a run every morning, you know, before they can, you know, function. So it's, um, it was really great to realize this is a daily thing, not just once a week.   Carrie Schmitt  Yeah, right. And to recognize that as children, oftentimes, we don't have the agency or even the knowledge to know her body needs. And as adults we do. And so we all have sensory processing differences. And we all have designed our lifestyles to support them. So I always to parents, like you might wake up with music or your spouse wakes up with a blaring alarm, right. And those sensory differences, because you figured out, this one is more supportive of your regulation to wake up, you may shower at night, somebody else might shower in the morning, like you're doing some people wake up, hit the ground and go for a run, because that's what regulates their nervous system, and they find that supports them to have high levels of performance after at work, or at school, or whatever it is. And so we design our lives in a way that supports our sensory system. And so to then turn and apply that to your daughter recognizing, oh, the heavy work activities, which are push pull, climb, you know, closed chain exercises, like wall squats, or playing like those can be super supportive of regulating our nervous systems. And so you designed for that, to increase her performance and then sent her off to school probably.   Holly Healy  Yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. And it's great now that she's 11 We started this at five. So now she'll say, like, the other night, she just wasn't doing well. And so she said, Can I have my weighted blanket? And can we play my music? And I thought, this is fantastic because it took six years, you know, but with that is so much brain growth of that awareness. Like I know now what I need, you know, so are progressive relaxation. I'll do some time she loves it. So she'll say can you do that? It's, you know, to a five or six year old, they're not gonna really have that awareness to know what they need. So they're going to either act out or regress. But you know, some someone like her at her age, they get to this, like, more awareness of like, I'm feeling this way, therefore, I can do this, you know. So   Carrie Schmitt  I love that. Advocacy, right, like a beautiful development of self advocacy. I had a teen client one time, and I said, what, you know, what brings you to a star. And she said, something has always been different about my system. She was exceptionally bright, at really high performing school and found knowledge to be really informed, like really helpful to her like, not just from a regulatory standpoint, but it was something that she actively sought out. So she went to the library, and started researching about her own system, found Dr. Miller's book on sensational kids. Wow, read it, took it home to her parents and said, Take me here. Ah, that is fantastic. And other self advocacy story, right? Like, you know, she was able to recognize in herself the differences, and then ask for, you know, a sensory based intervention. Tell me a little bit about this remote, a family nurse practitioner standpoint, what are you seeing in your practice, in terms of awareness around sensory processing differences, or some diagnoses that seem to overlap? Or maybe are missed diagnoses that are good with sensory processing differences?   Holly Healy  Yeah, I'd love to speak to that. So. And you're right, what we typically put in as a diagnosis is I think it's sensory processing difficulties, what it ends up, you know, so you're right, it's very hard sometimes. Because when I see that on a patient's chart, it's just makes me wonder, you know, kind of what we're what we're dealing with, because oftentimes, they'll see other diagnoses at the same time, like behavioral concerns or difficulty sleeping. So what has been most alarming to me over the past few years is that I feel the overdiagnosis of ad ADHD. And it's really been hard because in every provider will will definitely understand this, you get 10 minutes to see a patient. And within that 10 minutes, you can hear bits and pieces of what's going on. But you don't really get the whole picture. And so we have, of course, these very reputable and valid scales that we use for diagnosis, but I was doing some research and looking back through the Vanderbilt scale, which is what we use for ADHD diagnoses. And you know, so many of the questions that are asked have everything to do with sensory and are oftentimes I grab Alyssa J. Miller's book, and I'm reading what are some symptoms that we see with SPD? And then they literally coincide with so much of these questions on the Vanderbilt and as a provider, you love your you love your scales, you know, you love to say, Oh, wonderful, she scored this this she has ADHD with some type of inattentiveness, you know, so we're gonna go ahead, we're going to treat with this, rather than saying, Oh, I noticed you answered a lot of these questions that had to do with behavior, can we? You know, can we talk more about that? Like, is there to notice a trend? Is it always in the mornings? Is it? You know, do you notice that it happens after they've been going to their gymnastics class for an hour. So it really, it's really been difficult for me to see how often kids are now just placed in this silo of this is your disorder. This is your treatment, let's start you on medicine. And I've taken an approach where I won't prescribe, I actually send them to an occupational therapist, and they actually see them back several times before we even go down that avenue. And I had a wonderful fourth grader who she was struggling in one of her classes, and the teacher had, you know, reached out and said, I think she has attention problems. And the mom was really open to me just seen her for a while first before going down that avenue of medication. And I think it was our sixth visit. We did a lot of work together. She come in, I was able to get 20 minutes with her. And I said, you know, about the fifth visit. I told them I'd really love for her to get evaluated for her vision, her developmental vision, not can she see she 2020 And they came back the next week and they said, oh my goodness, like she's having a really hard time with how she's, how her eyes are tracking and we're going to start therapy and the teacher made a couple modifications and everything was drastically improved. And it just took it took time it just and I know it's hard for provider's, because time is just so hard right now with the way our healthcare is set up. But if you just take the time to look at the big picture of the child, you can see that it's not we just look so much at the behavior, not what's behind it, and, and how we can really, you know, help them. And so it's, it's something I struggle with. Because I do see it so often it's, it's, what are the symptoms, here's my diagnosis, and here's my treatment, it's all like A, B, and C, but these kids kids are not, they're not black and white, the key you can't go A, B and C with kids, you have to really, really look at what is going on. And I always observe, tell me what your days like, how are the parents reacting? Are they regulated, that makes a big difference. So I kind of look at the whole holistic picture of what's going on how much activity they get, what calms them, what makes them, you know, overstimulated, so that I can really try my best to help the parents understand that it may not be just just this diagnosis that we, you know, have you fill out in the pit and teachers fill out and you know, we give it a number and we go with it. It's it's so much more than that. So I've tried really hard to educate parents, they send them to the Star website, I send them on to the books. And then I also talk a lot about what are some things they can change in their home? Like, what can they buy? I have sensory swings in my house, we have a whole room set up with a trampoline and balls and balance boards, and, you know, what are some small things they can do every day? To help to help their child to?   Carrie Schmitt  Yeah, I love that you brought up a couple of things. One is diagnosis. And then one is intervention based. In terms of diagnosis, you know, as you mentioned, there's a lot of challenges with practitioners having the time. You know, there's an article that will we'll put in the the notes as well, um, that an occupational therapist actually wrote for nurse practitioners. The author is Jessica wood, and it was published in the journal for nurse practitioners. And it was educating yourself about sensory processing differences in order to help families differentiate. Because we know that there's some studies say up to 11% of children, ages four to 17 have ADHD. And then we have a prevalence study for sensory processing difficulties, which would suggest that five to 16% of children in the general population without any other diagnoses have sensory processing difficulties. And so if we visualize a Venn diagram, there's definitely overlap. And potentially, you. If you do have a diagnosis of ADHD, you do have a likelihood of having some sensory processing features of that right. And so about 40% of children with ADHD also have SPD. But it's really important for practitioners and for parents alike to recognize that while there is overlap in that Venn diagram, ADHD and SPD in brain studies are differentiated, they are different. They are their own differences and disorders. And so one has a neuro ADHD has a neurotransmitter basis. And so a lot of times kids do react well, if they have truly have ADHD to medication, because it is changing the way their brain neurotransmitters function. But if they have, you know, sensory processing difficulties or disorders, we the brain studies are showing that there's actually a difference in their white matter. And so electrical impulses are not reaching the portion of their brain that is responsible for sensory integration. And then there is the overlap, right. And so to take the time to tease it apart to say, you know, maybe this is ADHD with a sensory processing feature, or maybe this is sensory processing difficulties on its own. And they actually do have in our society, a different treatment approach to each. And so I understand that when sometimes people just want the diagnosis, right, like, yeah, it feels like the easy thing to matter to processing differences are not as easy to measure. We leave the office with a diagnosis and a plan and that for some people feels easier than it does to take the lowest level approach. Let's tease it apart. RT, we have some information that they might be struggling with some of the, you know, some of the things we captured on the Vanderbilt assessment scales, maybe these could also very likely be contributed to sensory processing differences. So what maybe what scale? Could we add for sensory processing awareness? Could you visit an occupational therapist? Who's trying to do processing? To your point? Could you try the approaches, which are all natural, used in sensory processing intervention, which are the sensory based bottom up approaches? And if you find that those are helpful, that might be giving us more information to look more closely at the sensory processing features that you're describing? Because if they're effective, it is likely that there's a sensory processing component to, to this complex behavior, whatever it is.   Holly Healy  Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. And that's where the OT Can, can be so helpful with that bottom up approach, because that's how they would approach this, you know, and really help the parents understand that some of that top down approach just isn't always the answer. And we need to help these kids understand that they are still loved, no matter what their behavior is, we have to our job as providers, parents, practitioners, to let them know that they're not different, they're not. There's nothing wrong with them. And I think, you know, to your point, that overlap of other sensory processing add is, is really evident. So I love that you said that, and I and I also see such an overlap with self esteem, and this diagnosis of ADHD. And you know, with that, then comes, perhaps an increased prevalence of depression among some of these kids, because then they realize, I have a label, I have a diagnosis and different and, you know, my youngest was diagnosed with it, and kindergarten, and the teacher sat her by herself, and just literally thought this is this is the way we're going to handle it, we're going to sit her by herself, and then we're going to put her on a wiggle seat, and then she's going to get her work done. And it was horrifying, to see how it affected her self esteem. And all she wanted to do was sit with her friends, and to a six year old, you know, how does that How did she interpret being Senate, you know, being told she has to sit by herself. So it I found a new school where she was in she is currently accepted for, for who she is. And if she has to get up and move around, it's, it's welcomed, and she doesn't sit by herself. She sits with her friends, and she's allowed to be more tactile, which is how she learns. And she's doing amazing. So it's more, you know, let's meet them where they are to help them succeed, no matter how diverse they are, you know.   Carrie Schmitt  Yes, you know, and teachers again, or another person who might be on the front line of this right, recognizing some behaviors. And so we have a passionate STAR about educating with a school based approach, right, or school based focus. Because again, like if teachers are given the sensory lens, they may look at the behavior and be like, Oh, this is interesting, while they are trying to manage 25 and 30 kids and they do need, you know, classroom management approaches. A lot of times the bottom up approach, the sensory based interventions can be used for multiple students at a time and increased regulation across the classroom, not just for the child that might need it. And I find that the children who need it, oftentimes self select into alternative seating options that are tied to the likes of their chair, the, you know, headphones, or your plugs for sensory over responsivity being mindful of where they're sitting, so that they feel safe in their environment. And so all of that is you were educated enough to advocate for your child. And so, you know, that's, that's a wonderful gift. But hopefully some of this conversation would help somebody sitting at home listening, whether they're apparent whether a teacher, whether they're a practitioner, to say, oh, what could we try, like what approaches could increase success and decrease the likelihood of impact on the mental health, self esteem, right child? I actually had a dad one day I was sitting across from him. And we know that there are hereditary components to both of these diagnoses, ADHD and sensory processing difficulties or disorders. And whether that's you know, it could also be Korean hairy needle right as well, there are some studies around that. But he said, Oh, that's what's going on. This is how I was when I was little, like he made that connection. Oh, now I'm making the connection between what you're telling me and how I was as a little. And my teacher put me in a cardboard box. Oh, my goodness. So this is, you know, he's probably in his 40s. But they realized his attention differences. And their solution was to place an entire refrigerator box over his desk today. And I just, I got tears in my eyes, I just thought talk about feeling othered Yes, context of the classroom, like what would happen to your self esteem if your teacher put you in a cardboard box every day. And, you know, I mean, the teacher was, you know, asked to manage a classroom of multiple kids and thought that it would be helpful, right, you know, really help them. And there was something about it that allowed him to focus, but it wasn't the approach that would support you know, I don't know, healthy social mood. Yes. But you know, all that to say like, there are approaches that support a healthy reception of attention and sensory differences within the classroom, that support integration, that support the children to develop healthy self esteem in the context of their education, which they spend an enormous amount of time at school. So how important for them to function well, and to feel good about their contributions.   Holly Healy   And I love I love I love that story, in a sense, because he was literally placed in a cardboard box, but figure that figuratively, he was placed in a cardboard box. And a lot of these kids are just don't have silos the right word, but they're just placed separately, and it's just not the way we should be approaching it. And as accepting as we are now as our society is becoming more accepting of diversity, and embracing people for their gender, their, you know, their pronouns, I feel like this is another example of how we need to move towards embracing the diversity of, of people's sensory needs to and so I've changed my language, even at home. And even when I talk to patients and parents, I'll say, You don't tell my kids, you know, I'm feeling not feeling centered. And I use that word a lot, because I know it's kind of a yoga phrase, it's a practice, but, you know, I'll say, I'm gonna go just onto my yoga mat for 10 minutes, and I'll be back so that I can feel more present. So I've changed my, my verbiage and my vocabulary around my kids. So they know. They understand that that's important. And so I've found my youngest, who's almost seven, she'll give her one of her yoga mats, and she'll, she'll disappear sometimes if she's getting upset over something, and I'll find her up there doing yoga, because she's learned like, Okay, I'm gonna go, like, calm myself down. And that's accepted. That's okay. So I'm hoping that with, with all this transformation of acceptance of diversity in our world, that we can see a sensory place in that too, because I think it's just so you know, so important. No, no more cardboard boxes, you know, should be allowed, it should definitely be, you know, John's a little bit he's getting out of his seat sounds like he needs to maybe go do some a couple jumping jacks, I love using crab and down dog, you know, for kids, like, I think he just needs to do a couple things and then come back. So it's just, you know, that awareness of that diversity, too, I think is so important for teachers to see.   Carrie Schmitt  I could see that yoga poses in particular, would be something that would be really helpful to recenter and reregulate children who might, you know, to your point either need a little bit more movement, or might need some proprioceptive activation at their joints. And so you have a specialty also in yoga, and you utilize that specialty at the preschool level. So tell me a little bit about that.   Holly Healy  Yeah, so I've practice for 25 years myself, and that's, that's my regulation personally. So I practice every day. And I know I'm, I know I love certain poses, personally, that help regulate me. So I teach at a wonderful preschool where the director is very well well versed in, in sensory processing. And so I think that if I if she wanted, I'd be there every day, but I do go in and I teach two year olds up until pre K, transitional kindergarten yoga classes and I, I always do sensory components into my class that they love. And so there's some sort of texture that I bring in. So it might be like for my class on Monday, I cut my daughter's two, two up into these squares because there's a really beautiful texture. And so I'll I'll drape it over the kids kind of fan them with it. So I bring in that we do the movement, a lot of down dog because kids love being upside down. It's wonderful. And I let them be free to move their body and figure out what they need. Because kids need different things. And, and I always close with them in what's called shavasana, which is the, the pose that you it's a resting pose at the end of class, and I do a spray, I have a beautiful room spray that's lemon flavored, and they love it, they say, oh, did you bring the spray. And so they have this, they end with this beautiful sent, and I take their legs and I I kind of rock them side to side because I know that movement is also good. So I'm getting that kind of input for them of movement. And then I kind of rest their feet at a I basically flex them out and then push them a little bit into the ground. So they get that grounding, feeling at the end too. So I integrate it. And I had this wonderful three year old I think who I was just teaching the class and she was doing great. And she was, you know, I could tell she was she would separate herself from the class, she kind of sat aside. But she participated the whole class and I didn't think anything of it, she she loved it. So at the end of class, the teachers came up to me, and they were in tears. They said she'd never participates in anything. In the classroom. She's really anxious. She's very cautious. She doesn't like the loud noises and all the you know, some of the activities that involve a lot of things, she has a difficult time participating. But in this class, she was amazing. So they, they were so excited because they could go home and tell the mom, hey, listen, you know, you know, your daughter did wonderful in yoga, here's things that she really loved. And they were so excited because I think they were trying to help her. They didn't know what approach to take. So I told them, I said, well integrate some movement when you start your class. And instead of coming in sitting down and doing something, maybe move first and, you know, kind of go from there. So it was really, it was really great to see.   Carrie Schmitt  I love that story. I you know, in this conversation, we've talked a lot about intervention approaches and how they differ based on diagnoses. And so we've also talked about, you know, neurodiversity, in terms of everybody's brain is different. Like we have biodiversity, we have neurodiversity, and we affirm that and respect that. And we're hoping to see that spread widely. That there's an acceptance that every brain is beautiful, right? That we come as we are. And so all that to say, you know, ADHD is a real neurotransmitter difference in the brain. And we honor that, and the intervention approaches we have so far, our medication, and then some behavior management techniques, and then sensory processing differences or difficulties disorder is itself also a real thing. Differences in the brain, show us that their brain imaging and the treatment approach for that is the bottom up, approach, the sensory based approach, and what yoga is, is both. And so if you're listening, and you do have a, you know, diagnosis of either or have an overlap, the yogic approach integrates bottom up and by bottom up, I'm being that body sensation and movements are the entry point. And the end result is self regulation, hopefully, to better performance and in whatever you want to achieve. And by top down, we mean that it's cognitively accordingly originated, right. So we use, mediated, I guess might be a good word. And we use cognition to focus our attention oftentimes, and it results in meaning making an understanding and yoga is both right we have the movement of our body and our putting our body in different positions. And then queuing to use our cognition to attend to, to our bodies and and make meaning of it and the result is self regulation. So yeah, I love that as kind of, maybe the wrap up of our conversation today because it marries who you are as a practitioner, and then your passion for differentiating and recognizing through a sensory lens that we can and serve the people that come to us with some challenges by taking the low slow approach by teasing apart, what's behind and underneath the behavior that's on the outside, and that that approach that you practice meets everybody where they are an honors or diversity. Yes, that is perfectly perfectly but I couldn't, could not agree more. That's wonderful. Well, to wrap up, I always ask the same question. So we have a really high value on Curiosity here at Star, we recognize that our thinking needs to evolve as the science evolves. And to do that we try to stay humble and follow the science to find out what we're learning. To do that, sometimes we have to change our minds about something. So I was wondering if you could think of an example of something maybe you once believed, that your thinking has evolved in or that you've changed your mind about?   Holly Healy  That is such a wonderful question. And I, I mean, I think I could speak all day about this, I think, you know, as a parent, when your child has any sort of diagnosis, you feel, there's just one road to take, you know, so for example, my child has an ear infection, we're gonna get treatment, and we'll be better. But it's really not a one road approach or children are not. They're still multi dimensional. And I think what I have learned is, it is so important to look at them from all aspects and take that bottom up approach and not just focus on the behavior. And it's so easy for providers and parents to focus on the behavior without saying why. And so I've learned the importance of why and the importance of looking at the child, my own children and other children I treat and the children in my yoga classes as more of a holistic sensory lens and how we can approach them through different avenues through different roads. Don't just take one road, take many, many roads. And I can't urge parents enough to really, you know, tap into your own sensory self, and I think it will help them so much to understand their children as well, too. I love that. Thank you.   Carrie Schmitt  Thank you for the work that you do. Thank you for serving on our board. Absolutely.

With the 1825 completion of the Erie Canal, which linked the Great Lakes to the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean, maritime traffic in the Great Lakes increased dramatically. As the canal was being completed, Congress appropriated funds for a light station near Fort Gratiot, in the southern portion of Michigan's thumb. When the light station was established at Fort Gratiot in 1825, it was the first light station in the state of Michigan. The original 32-foot-tall tower fell after being damaged in an 1828 storm and it was soon rebuilt, with the new tower first lighted in the spring of 1830. Fort Gratiot Lighthouse, Michigan. USLHS photo. The Coast Guard vacated the light station with the construction of the new Coast Guard Station Port Huron, built in 2004. In 2010 ownership was transferred to St. Clair County Parks and Recreation. With funds from the City of Port Huron and other sources, some restoration work was completed and the light station was opened to the public in 2012. Port Huron Museums operates the site, and the Friends of Fort Gratiot Light also work for the preservation of the lighthouse and other buildings. A recent grant from the Michigan Lighthouse Assistance Program will enable St. Clair County Parks and Recreation to hire a consultant to rehabilitate the lighthouse tower's watch room and lantern room.

This is Vaccine 411, the latest coronavirus vaccine information for May 4th, 2021.The FDA is reportedly expected to authorize Pfizer's vaccine for youngsters ages 12 to 15 by next week. That means shots before starting the next school year. In late March, Pfizer released preliminary results from a study of volunteers in that age group, showing no cases of COVID-19 among the fully vaccinated vs. 18 among those given placebos.Russia last year took credit for being first in the world to authorize a vaccine, but vaccination efforts there are lagging. Shots are available almost everywhere to anyone 18 or older but only 8% have received at least one shot. A poll in February showed only 30% of people were willing to get Sputnik V, one of three domestically produced vaccines available. So what countries are performing best in terms of total vaccinations per capita? US News & World Report compiled a list, and no one is even close to Israel at 62.4 doses per 100 people. Next comes the U.K. at 50.8. And then there's a cluster of the next most successful countries which includes, the U.S., Chile, Hungary, and Bahrain. Apparently, the U.S. has vaccines to waste. Kaiser Health News reports CVS and Walgreens are responsible for most wasted vaccine doses, which total more than 180,000. Reasons included broken supplies, storage errors, and leftover doses that expired due to no-show appointments. The news is getting better for travel. EU officials proposed easing restrictions on visiting its 27 nations since vaccination campaigns are gathering speed across the continent. Right now, travelers from very few countries with low infection rates can get in, but they're looking to expand that to all those fully vaccinated with EU-authorized shots. In the United States cases were down 27%, deaths are down 8%, and hospitalizations are down 7% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending down since April 14. There are now 6,729,654 active cases in the United States. The current top 5 states by number of active cases: California, Virginia, New York, Maryland, and Florida. The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Dimmit, TX. Fluvana, VA. Donley, TX. Grand, UT. Gilmer, WV. Huron, MI. Chattahoochee, GA. Ferry, WA. Gratiot, MI. And Muskegon, MI. The five states with the highest risk levels and most daily new cases per capita over 7 days are Rhode Island, Michigan, Colorado, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania.There have been 577,492 deaths in the US reported as Covid-related, with a current national fatality rate of 1.79%.The states with the most new deaths reported as COVID-related: New York 66. California 42. North Carolina 40. Florida 38. Illinois 31. Michigan 29. Colorado 25. Massachusetts 18. And New Jersey and Virginia 16. The top 3 vaccinating states by percentage of population that's had at least one dose, New Hampshire at 60.7%, Massachusetts at 57.3%, and Vermont at 56.6%. The bottom 3 vaccinating states are Mississippi at 31.1%, Louisiana at 32.2%. and Alabama at 32.7%.Globally, cases were down 1% and deaths up 8% over 14 days, with the 7-day average trending down since April 23. There are 19,377,511 active cases around the world.The five countries with the most new cases: India 355,828. The United States 39,767. Brazil 36,524. Turkey 24,733. And Iran 20,732. There have now been 3,209,657 deaths reported as Covid-related worldwide.

On this week's Copper Country Today, Grant Dossetto spoke with Northern Michigan University historian Russell Magnaghi about the historical contributions of French Canadians in the Upper Peninsula. He was also joined by John Griffith of Keweenaw Natural Areas to talk about the group's attempt to purchase land on the Gratiot River between Conglomerate Falls and Lake Superior. Copper Country Today airs throughout Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula Sunday mornings at 7:00 on WOLV 97.7 FM, 8:00 WCCY 99.3 FM and 1400 AM, and 9:00 on WHKB 102.3 FM. The program is sponsored by the Portage Health Foundation.

This Rural Mission is a podcast brought to you by Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation, and the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, Family Medicine Department. We are so excited to bring you season three. I'm your host, Julia Terhune, and I hope you enjoy this episode. In season one, I was so proud of the witty title for the episode Women Rural, R-U-R-A-L, but I was more proud of the content. Because in 2016 when I was recording the interviews for that episode, we were in the middle of an uneasy presidential campaign where for the first time in our history, one of the major presidential contenders was a woman. Now, four years later, we've made history. For the first time we have a female vice president of the United States. Thanks to social media and memes I think we are all acutely aware of how the "other side" feels about Vice President Harris's appointment. From my vantage point, her appointment was described as either one of the greatest feats in gender equality and female leadership, or as a political ploy aimed at winning minority votes. And that's where it starts to suck. Because on either side of the argument, that is a heavy lift for Vice President Harris. That's a heavy lift to be a pawn and it's a heavy lift to be the first. And so no matter how you slice it, being a female leader of her capacity is huge. Being the first one to do anything is huge. You have to move so much rubble and take so much heat so that you can clear a path for everyone else. Tony Morrison is one of the most famous black female authors of our time. She has a very famous quote from a 2003 O Magazine interview. Perhaps you've seen it. It said, "I tell my students when you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab bag candy game." If you've read the whole article, you know that she's speaking generally about how marginalized groups who make a way to do something first need to do the heavy lifting so that those firsts don't continue. She says this because she was a first. In the 1960s she wrote her novels without any consideration for a white audience or white acceptance of her work. She went on to receive a Nobel Peace Prize and write some of the greatest novels of our time. Her achievements were not without a lot of heavy lifting that cleared a path for some amazing modern black authors like Kylie Reed or one of my favorites, Jesmyn Ward. She writes from a black impoverished rural perspective. And if you haven't read Salvage the Bones, you need to. So in order to make the heavy lifting a little easier task today, we're celebrating. Celebrating four outstanding female hospital CEOs who are serving rural communities all around the state, from the upper peninsula all the way to the thumb. While not all of them are the first female CEOs to be with their hospitals, they are still doing the hard work that is changing and caring for rural communities in a real way and making an empowered path for young women to come right alongside them. We're about to get into the heart of the interviews today. But before I do, I want to share some statistics compiled by the Harvard Business Review. That is to say, in 2018 women made up over 80% of the healthcare workforce, but only 6% of all healthcare CEOs were women nationwide. Women provide a unique and different worldview, challenge, and set of skills to the workforce in general, a difference that is vital to the vitality and completeness of any organization, effort, or mission. Women deserve equal and equitable representation in all areas of the economy. And therefore when discrepancies like the distribution of leadership roles in healthcare is askew, I believe it's the job of all of us to find a way to remedy that situation. So how do we do that? Well, we're going to find out. We're going to learn about how to really empower and make a difference in the workforce and in the lives of others through these four fabulous interviews. One of the things I often take for granted when doing these interviews is the consistencies that emerge among my participants. But in this episode, the commonalities between these remarkable women was too positive and too interesting not to take note of. The things I noticed about all four of these stories was this: mentorship is the best way to make impactful leaders. Leadership is not about you, but everyone around you. And to reach your potential, you have to take risks. And sometimes that risk is being the first. Our stories today come from Marita Hattem-Schiffman, who is the CEO of MidMichigan Health System in Gratiot, Isabella, and Clair counties. Yes, that many counties and that many hospitals. Karen Cheeseman from the Mackinac Straits Health System in St. Ignace; Jean Anthony, the President and CEO of Hills and Dales Hospital in Cass City; and Lyn Jenks, who is now retired, but was the CEO of the Munson Health System in Charlevoix, Michigan. A little secret about Lyn? She hired our director, Dr. Andrea Wendling, for her practice in Charlevoix and is very well-loved and respected in Northern Michigan. So let's start with some origin stories. We'll start with Marita and Jean and then move on to Karen and Lyn. One thing I think you'll find with these stories is that not one of these women started their career with the plan to become a CEO. But with mentorship from trusted guides, they learned their own potential, took risks, and found a way to empower others to take the reins too. While Marita is a Michigan native and a graduate of Central Michigan University, Marita began her time in hospital leadership in a hospital system in Wisconsin. She took on a major strategic leadership role with a bank before realizing what she really wanted to do with her career and where she wanted to go back. Here's Marita. And throughout the whole time I talked to the CEO about, "I still love healthcare and odds are I'm going right back again." And he kept going, "No, no, no, no, no. We're not for profit. We're helping people too. You're going to love this. You're going to want to stay." And I got to that two year mark and had already decided like six months earlier that when I hit two years, it was going to be time to go back to healthcare. And in the middle of all that I had come back to Michigan for a college reunion. Had not been back in I won't tell you how many decades. Really long time. And driving back to the airport I called my husband back in Wisconsin and I said, "I don't know what's happening to me, but I want to come home." So he said, "Well, sure, why not? I'll support you in that." And that was July of 2016. February of 2017 was that two year commitment to the credit union. And at that point before I did anything, all these doors and windows started to open and some of them had Michigan on them. So I remember sitting down with my husband and saying, "Okay, here's all these crazy things that are coming up. Clearly the message God's giving me is you were right to make a two year commitment. Now it's time to go back to healthcare. Here are all these different places you could explore or people who are calling you." And we both agreed Michigan would be our first priority. And it all turned out, which is fantastic. I am Jean Anthony, President and CEO of Hills and Dales. And my current role as CEO came to fruition probably almost four years ago, but I have a long, long history in healthcare. I started as an LPN and I tell the employees here during orientation, "I came with the building," and they love it. They all love it and they laugh about it. But I started as an LPN. I learned the organization, went back and received my associates. And then from there had that desire to do more in management and continued my education through bachelor's and master's and continued in the organization to pick up more and more management administrative duties until I became the COO approximately 17 years ago. And took on services with physicians, physician practices. And it was all exciting to me. It was a wonderful experience. And so I worked in human resources for a number of years, really had the opportunity to really [inaudible 00:10:48] the program and develop it. At that time, the hospital was starting to expand. Big physician recruitment initiative underway and we were adding a number of services. So I was really fortunate to be a part of that. In about 2005, we started planning for the new hospital. And I was really fortunate to be a part of that in a number of different ways. And that led me to really be involved in a lot of different operational aspects throughout the years and throughout that process. And so I began just becoming involved and taking on other roles and responsibilities. Ultimately then became the COO and then had the opportunity to apply for the CEO job. [inaudible 00:11:55] been in that position for a year. That's such a [inaudible 00:11:59]. Also in between I went back and I did my master's degree in organizational management in 2012. So just really tried to take every opportunity I could to advance and grow as the health system would allow. You are now retired? Yes, I am. Are you excited? Is it good? It's getting there. Let me just say that. It's getting there. When you've been going a hundred miles an hour for your entire adult life, going to zero miles an hour is hard. It's very hard. And I think what it is is when so much of who you are is wrapped up in what you do then it's not only a question of having something to do, but who you are. So I'm still dealing with that and I'm reinventing myself. And so I'm getting used to it. I don't miss getting up at the crack of dawn. I don't miss going in on a midnight shift. I don't miss taking 400 people to bed with me every night and not being able to sleep for worrying. That's the stuff I don't miss, but yeah, I'm getting used to it. Yeah, absolutely. So where did you start? How did you get to become the CEO of Charlevoix Hospital? Well, I can tell you it wasn't intentional. Everybody I know who is successful says, "You set goals and you work toward those goals," and this wasn't it. It just wasn't it. I was at Wright State University and mass communication arts. It wasn't a field that would normally lead you to being a CEO of a hospital, but Marilyn Turner was the weather lady. She wasn't going anywhere. So I couldn't get a job there. So I started out in a hospital and public relations and I liked it. I liked the nonprofit world. I liked the sense that even though you were earning a living and doing well, you could do good as well in the nonprofit world. And I liked that about the industry. I look back now on the time and energy and care that Dr. Wendling has put in my life and I still feel undeserving and so very, very grateful. Now, I don't think that I want or will ever be a CEO of a hospital, but Dr. Wendling has allowed me to grow in other ways that have made a huge difference in my life and the lives of rural medical students. The mentors of Lyn and Jean did the same thing. Very fortunate. I had good leader, bosses, mentors during my career. And so I was able to really just grow to the fullest during that time. So it was great. I had really good mentors. I was in an industry that had a lot of women in it. Now, not a lot of women in the C-suite when I first started. Women were nurses and a growing population were doctors. Okay, so that continued to grow. So not being in either one of those categories, that part was a learning for me and it was a stretch. And even when you're a big fish in a little pond, as you always are in a rural area, you're still competing with mostly guys. That's just the way it was. Not so much anymore. We've really come a long way in healthcare in terms of more women in the C-suite and at the VP and up levels. But even that I think was a good learning, because again I was surrounded with people who were not misogynistic, who encouraged me for the most part. I ran across a couple of that... Well, no, I didn't want to get physical, but I was tempted. There were times when I just wanted to punch them, but for the most part, again, I was very fortunate. Even those that I wanted to punch I found that in many ways because I was a woman, I was equipped with capabilities that quite honestly they weren't. Wow. When you started day one, did you picture yourself as one day being the CEO? Absolutely not. My husband and I laugh because when we first got married I was an LPN and that was good and we'd have some children and I'd work part-time and oh my goodness, that went right out the window and different things as you get involved in the work... And this has been such a good community. It's been a good place to work. The whole community is good. The school systems are good. It just was such a natural fit that I just kept growing with it. And that good mentorship leads to some really good ideas. I see our culture just in general, not even really getting to generations, moving in a different direction to more of what's considered an authoritarian style, which the tagline for that is, "Come with me," where you're engaging people in a vision and you're figuratively taking them by the hand or putting your arm around them and bringing them forward and eventually being able to let them run out in front of you. And then there's affiliative, which is very much about building consensus. And that tends to be where I spend most of my life. And I've been having to learn and really work on being more of that authoritarian style. And the bigger your job gets, the more people you need to be able to put your arms around and bring forward and trust that they're doing the same thing with their people. And I just love that image of taking people by the hands and marching forward together. So those studies wouldn't be showing us that those are the right leadership styles if it wasn't for the way society is changing what people need from us. And who knows where we'll be another 10 years from now? It may have shifted to a different type of style again. But if you think back to the Jack Welchs of GE... And I'm trying to think of some of the other big names. They were very much that coercive or pace-setting style, which is, "I'm the smart one." Captain Kirk. "I have all the ideas. We're doing this." And all these intelligent people just, "Okay, whatever you say," instead of being able to contribute to the conversation and to the decision-making. So what I'm hearing you say though is that really that mark of leadership is almost a lifelong learner and being willing to say that, "My ideas are not the best. I need to go and find out information from others so that I can best lead," and not staying in your own silo. Oh, yeah. The higher you go in a position, the less you know about how to get anything done. We all start at some point doing a job and becoming an expert of that job. And then somebody says, "You do that really well. Let's have you lead others who do that job." And sometimes it's a disaster because just because you could do it doesn't mean you can lead it or teach it. And sometimes it works out great. And then that's the person that gets to carry on in management. But at some point you get to the point... I'm running a hospital. I'm not a nurse. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a pharmacist. I'm not the subject matter of any of those things. My job, like I was saying earlier, is to get the best people we can, get them in the right seat, get them the resources that they need, let them know that they're empowered, that they're trusted, and we're going to support them. And then just get out of their way. They have the answers for a lot of the things that we need to solve. My job now... And I joke sometimes I got the easy job. I don't have to do anything. I just have to get people to do all this stuff. Obviously a lot harder than that sounds. But my job is to try to stay as far above the fray as I can so I can see the big picture. What I'm most proud of is that I instilled a philosophy of the customer is important but the employee has to come first. Because if the employee comes first... Employee slash physician. They're going to take care of the customers. They're going to take care of the patients. The way I tend to look at things is I'm really proud of our employees. It's really about their success and the contributions that they make each and every day to the hospital. And so for me it's really about creating and sustaining a culture where we really contribute to our community, providing the best patient care that we can, the best healthcare that's available to our community. And so for me, it's really about the success of our employees. We're doing all those things well in terms of providing quality care and delivering great customer service. Those are the things I'm most proud of at the end of the day. I like to see my staff make decisions. It means we're doing something right. It means that we've mentored them to a point where they have ownership maybe of their department, of their area. It's nice. They'll come and they'll talk to you and you can talk it through. But you know in your heart they've grown a little bit because they've come to you with the answer. So I like to see my staff make decisions and I like interaction. Some of my favorite things are interactions with the physicians, to see what we're going to do next, what areas we can improve on. And finally, here's some advice for all of you budding female leaders. The importance of stepping outside your comfort zone. You tend to gravitate towards things where your strengths lie and the things that are most comfortable. In looking back for me I certainly would have taken a few more risks a little earlier in my career. Oh, that's interesting. Like what? Could be a number of different things, really. Could be anything from getting out and joining a committee either internally or externally in the hospital, having a few opportunities to do that. And thinking, "I don't have enough knowledge yet," or, "I know I don't have enough expertise." That type of thing. Just putting yourself out there, learning some new skills that maybe you thought somebody else was better at, where you didn't give yourself enough credit to go out and really grasp that and [inaudible 00:24:09]. So being confident. Yes. Gaining a little more confidence early on. Absolutely. I could have easily said, "No, I don't have the degree to be a CEO of a hospital. I don't have the background that you need." It would have been relatively easy to say that. I made more money consulting, quite honestly. But I'm glad I did it. So do you hear that ladies? Take risks. Go outside of your comfort zone. Try something new and trust the people around you who are encouraging you. If you're that person who is near one of these budding young female leaders, consider how you can empower them to do the things that they are going to benefit from and how those talents and skills could benefit the world. I am so grateful for the women who have done that for me. Thank you for listening to this episode. I want to thank all of the mentors that make a difference in our lives and in the lives of our students. I want to thank all of the brave individuals who became firsts. We couldn't do any of the things that we're doing without you. Thank you for your leadership. As always, we are grateful for our podcast audience and our supporters and all of the people who make this possible. Thank you to Marita, Lyn, Jean, and Karen for being interviewed for this episode. And thank you Dr. Wendling for all of the women and men that you encourage and mentor through the College of Human Medicine. I'm your host, Julia Terhune. And as always, we want you to make rural your mission.

We sit down with Eli Hall from United Way of Gratiot and Isabella County.

On today's show: Our feature conversation is with Glenn Stevens. He's the executive director of MICHAUTO, and an interesting voice to talk with Sven Gustafson about the future of electrification, where the auto industry is in Michigan, how companies will adapt to climate change and the global hyper-urbanization trends, and more. We recorded it at the Detroit Policy Conference. Also: The Bonstelle Theater is getting new life as a conference and event space as part of a resuscitated hotel project that's now being done by the Roxybury Group. A petition is circulating on Change.org upset at the approved demolition of most of the Sacred Heart church building in Roseville for self-storage units and retail. The deal has been in the works and in the news, but a month ago it was unanimously approved by city council. The petition is here: https://www.change.org/p/roseville-michigan-city-council-save-our-sacred-heart-church-from-storage-developers I-94 between I-75 and Gratiot is going to be closed in both directions this week and next to demolish the East Grand Boulevard bridge. And, my little humble tribute to Ernie Harwell as spring is in fact coming with pitcher and catcher reporting to spring training.

On today's show: SMART bus ridership is up, led by the growth of their FAST Service on Woodward, Michigan and Gratiot. Go figure, you do a frequent service that shows up on time and people use it? The city of Detroit is suing three major landlords who they call slumlords, wanting the court to call their businesses public nuisances. And Fletcher Sharpe joins us to talk about the Andre Drummond trade from the Pistons to the Cavaliers, what's next for the team, and has some updates on Detroit City FC.  If this is the first time meeting our show, we’re on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-detroit/id1220563942 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Yhv8nSylVWxlZilRhi4X9 And although the show will always be free, our members help make it available for everyone else.

Hello, and welcome to HSPCOR podcast. I vowed to meet with you regularly and I am back! First, I want to wish everyone a very blessed and joyous CHRIST-MASS as we celebrate our #Risen Savior. I pray that we are all mindful that it is the Season of His Birth that we are celebrating and not the season of gift giving that we are celebrating. Sharing love is always wonderful But let us celebrate the one responsible for the gift that we're able to give. That being said, I have another wonderful event to share with you. It is a work that is dear to my heart. I believe that my ability becomes my responsibility and I feel responsible to to minister to those that are disfortunate, (homeless and jobless). And as a result of my desire to be a blessing to God's people, we will be FEEDING THE NEEDY IN MACOMB COUNTY!!!! On 14 January 2020 @ the old VFW hall on Gratiot Ave in Roseville Michigan from 6:30AM until 1:30PM. I want to take this time to invite you to participate in any manner that you feel led. Monetary and slightly worn warm clothing items are welcomed. As well as in person hands on at the site. If you feel led and would desire to be a part of whst we are doing, reach out to me on Facebook or YouTube. Or via Spreaker. We would love to welcome you as a part of our team. As we remember #love is an ACT! That is defined by a 4 letter word. Love is what is what live DOES. Not what live says. God blessings be upon you all as we all embrace the upcoming DECADE with joy and charity. Pastor seems

The big news this week in development in Detroit is the announcement of a new University of Michigan Innovation Center, bankrolled and supported by billionaires Stephen Ross and Dan Gilbert. The $300 million building on a $750 million campus will transform a site that was originally planned to be a jail. But that old jail project was a mess and became the infamous Fail Jail through mismanagement and cost overruns. After visiting the unveiling, we take a look at the past - how we got here, back to 2011 - and then today, then the future of the site at Gratiot and I-375 in downtown Detroit.  Like what we're doing?

Welcome to Tuesday, March 19 and the final day of winter, YAY! On the show today, we run down the news that not only does Detroit have a homegrown winery, but Detroit Vineyards aims to open a tasting room in the Stroh’s Ice Cream building on Gratiot near Eastern Market this spring. Will wonders never cease? Elsewhere, Beaumont Health is proposing to open a $140 million, 117-bed hospital in Oxford, filing a certificate of need application with the state. That makes Beaumont the latest in a list of big health systems that have tried to win approval for a new hospital in the growth exurbs of northern Oakland County. What else, you ask? Freshman U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, wants to prohibit auto insurers from using a person’s credit history to set insurance rates Tigers pitching ace Michael Fulmer may undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery to reconstruct ligaments in his right elbow Three nonprofits are getting funds to help Detroiters get better jobs A new Mexican bar and restaurant called Peso is set to open in the space formerly occupied by Fist of Curry (and before that, the beloved Huron Room, may it rest in peace) There could be a Lego kit of Mackinac Island’s famed Grand Hotel, if enough of you vote to make it happen Detroit neighborhoods could get residential parking permits under a proposed city ordinance And the city of Detroit has finally begun posting restaurant health inspection results online Thanks for listening to Daily Detroit!

Here's your Daily Detroit podcast for September 4, 2018. - On our show last week before the Labor Day weekend we told you about a lockout dispute affecting members of a labor union that represents road and bridge construction workers. Now, that lockout has put a freeze on dozens of road construction projects across Michigan. - Students started the first day of classes today in the Detroit Public Schools Community District with water coolers and bottled water in lieu of drinking fountains. - One of the city’s “must see” pieces of street art has come down, along with the abandoned and badly blighted building it was on. “The African Amalgamation of Ubiquity” was painted in 1985 by Curtis Lewis on an old bank building at 9980 Gratiot, just west of the Better Made Potato Chip Plant. It was the former home of the neighborhood nonprofit “Operation Get Down,” which moved across the street to a new location some time ago. - Anti-semitic flyers were found taped to a church door on Sunday morning. - Campbell Soup plans to sell off Ferndale-based Garden Fresh Gourmet as part of a broader turnaround plan that sees it getting rid of fresh foods. - Detroit is losing one of its most beloved bike shops. Motorless City Bicycle Company says it plans to permanently close its doors at the end of September after four seasons in business in Eastern Market. The store was closely involved with Slow Roll and announced the news on Facebook, saying the team had decided it was time to move on to new endeavors. - A bike sharing and a ride sharing service have teamed up in Detroit for a six-month pilot program to help connect users of the two. The program means discounts for MoGo bike sharing users when picked up or dropped off at bike-share stations by ridesharing company Lyft. - New York City’s transit authority has relabeled two subway stations in honor of the Queen of Soul. Both the Franklin Street and Franklin Avenue stations have signage in the classic subway Helvetica font saying “Respect” along with the station name. - If you’ve driven through that crazy three-way intersection of Trumbull, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Grand River, you can’t miss the giant mural of a giraffe that welcomes people to the Woodbridge neighborhood. It needs some help, and here's how you can pitch in (and get some beer).

This is your show for Tuesday, August 28th. - You can say goodbye to the familiar Green and Yellow stripes on Detroit buses. In a parking lot on Gratiot outside of Mike’s Fresh Market, the city of Detroit today unveiled new buses, new services… and a new brand for the Detroit Department of Transportation. We talk to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. - The redevelopment of the shuttered Northland Mall is proceeding — if slowly. Fox 2 News reports that crews have demolished the old Firestone car service center on the 125-acre property. - A market research and consulting company, Gongos, formerly based in Auburn Hills opened its new headquarters today in downtown Royal Oak, where it is moving around 120 employees. - A unit of Subaru plans to expand its R&D operations in Wayne County after winning grants from the state. - Ferne Boutique, a contemporary women’s clothing and accessory store, has opened in the New Center neighborhood of Detroit. Shianne Nocerini has the story. - An appearance by English industrial metal band Godflesh was enough to entice a couple to leave their 11-year-old daughter unattended at home in Houston while they made the roughly 1,300-mile drive to see the band at El Club last week in Southwest Detroit.

Recorded on July 27, 2018: Our featured guest is Christianne Sims. She's the founder of Detroit City Lacrosse, and she talks about the new program and how it'll impact the youth of Detroit. Our headlines: - Signs are pointing to the Grand Prix returning to Belle Isle next year. With the last contract expired, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources says it wants to move forward on a plan to keep the race at the island park, assuming key issues can be resolved. - The Swiss hospital that treated him says former Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne had been seriously ill for more than a year before his shocking death earlier this week. That was apparently news not only to Fiat Chrysler shareholders, but to the company itself. - Looks like work to take down the Fail Jail — the stalled Wayne County Jail at the corner of I-375 and Gratiot — is underway.  - Dockless electric scooters have launched in Detroit. The company is called Bird, and basically you rent the scooters through an app on your phone. This is a pilot program testing their fleet of low-speed, electric scooters, which have already launched in 20 cities. - A city-owned parking garage in Eastern Market needs about a million dollars in structural repairs before it can re-open. - Karas Brothers, the popular Greek restaurant, has been sold after more than 38 years in business. The restaurant is located on Harper Avenue in St. Clair Shores. - The former Indian Village home of a Detroit music legend is for sale. Jack White — and sometimes, his superstar on-and-off-again girlfriend Renee Zellweger — stayed in the home over on Seminole Street. - And the community comes together to recover the stolen van of a local chef and caterer. 

Following an ambitious crowd-sourcing campaign, Playground Detroit buys a building and continues to dream big

http://bonfiresofsocialenterprise.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/BambooDetroit.jpeg ()Exploring a Collaborative Workspace In Downtown Detroit The Bonfires of Social Enterprise visits with Bamboo Detroit,a business incubator site in a historic Detroit building. Romy talks about why this place has a more “homey” feel to it than other businesses like it, with Bamboo Detroit’s “Community Lady’ Amanda Lewan. Despite it’s name, Detroit Bamboo isn’t an exotic Asian restaurant. It’s a L3C company, located at 1442 Brush St, Suite 200, in downtown Detroit near the corner of Gratiot and Brush. http://bamboodetroit.com/ (On the web Bamboo Detroit lives here.) According to the http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/small/Bo-Co/Business-Incubators.html (online sources) there are many benefits to working in a business incubator, which started becoming prevalent in some areas of the country in the 1970s and 1980s. These benefits include sharing basic operating costs; administrative assitance; and least but not last, comradship amongst your fellows who work in the same space. Romy Gingras finds out why Bamboo Detroit was born, and what inspired it to be open 24 hours/7 days a week. The interview also explores why this work cooperative offers open workspaces and other amenities, and the types of small businesses that are attracted to work space. In addition Romy and Amanda talk about the types of events that Bamboo organizes and what is behind the scheduleing of these events.
