 605. Part 2. Derby Gisclair returns to discuss the history of baseball in New Orleans. Derby is an expert on the topic, having written the following books: Early Baseball in New Orleans: A History of 19th Century Play. The 1910 New Orleans Pelicans: A Moment in Minor League History: Shoeless Joe Jackson and the New Orleans Pelicans Championship. The Dixie Series: 1920 - 1958. In July of 1859, seventy-five young New Orleanians came together to form the seven teams that comprised the Louisiana Base Ball Club. They played their games in the fields of the de la Chaise estate on the outskirts of New Orleans near present-day Louisiana Avenue. As America's population grew through immigration, so did the popularity of what the largest newspaper in New Orleans, the Daily Picayune, called in November of 1860 "the National Game." Baseball quickly replaced cricket as the city's most popular participant sport.In 1887, local businessmen and promoters secured a minor league franchise for the city of New Orleans in the newly formed Southern League, beginning the city's 73-year love affair with the New Orleans Pelicans. From Shoeless Joe Jackson, to Hall of Famers Dazzy Vance, Joe Sewell, Bob Lemon, and Earl Weaver, to today's stars such as Jeff Cirillo and Lance Berkman, the road to the majors brought many notable players through New Orleans. From these early beginnings to the present-day New Orleans Zephyrs of the AAA Pacific Coast League, local fans have continued the tradition of baseball in New Orleans.A lifelong resident of New Orleans, S. Derby Gisclair is a member of the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) and its 19th Century, Minor Leagues, Deadball Era, Oral History, and Pictorial History Committees. He heads the Schott-Pelican Chapter of SABR in Louisiana and is on the Nominating and Selection Committees for the Greater New Orleans Professional Baseball Hall of Fame.

He became the Governor of Louisiana, serving from January through May 1936, following the death of Gov. O. K. Allen. He later returned to the senate until 1940. In 1936 Noe founded WNOE-AM and FM radio stations in New Orleans, established Monroes KNOE-AM and FM radio stations in 1944, and KNOE-TV in 1953. This week in Louisiana.

Edward Colón has been working in his parent's business, Melao Bakery, since they first opened it in 2008, shortly after moving to Kissimmee from Puerto Rico. “The first years, we slept inside the store,” Colón said. “We had those foldable beds. We folded the beds, we put them in storage and we opened up.” Colón was in his teens at the time and his younger brother had just been born, adding to the challenge of churning out authentic Puerto Rican cuisine daily. “I did a lot of (making) bread while I was trying to finish school and college,” he said. “So I was making bread and I would go to college and then come back and forth. So it was not easy.” The family started renting a small building on a quiet road in Kissimmee. “We struggled,” Colón said. “There was no Spanish places around at that point — not like now, obviously. We knew we had a great product at that point, So, we took the risk.” The gamble ended up paying off for the family. They now own the building they first opened in and have a second just outside of Orlando. The family also employs more than 150 people. Despite the success they have seen, the family still puts many hours on the business. “I work basically seven days a week,” Colón said. We work around the clock. It's an everyday thing. I got employees that come in at three in the morning. And I have employees that get out at (midnight).” That dedication has turned Melao Bakery into a destination spot within the Kissimmee community. “Most people come straight from the airport,” Colón said. “People get there and get to eat every type of food that you find in Puerto Rico.” Colón said the goal was always to give people a feel and taste of the island territory, but making it accessible to everyone. “We don't just have Puerto Rican clients, obviously, we have all kinds of clients — specifically in the Kissimmee store,” he said. The bakery is located just outside of Heritage Park. Many people stop by after various activities at the park or the Silver Spurs arena. The family is now looking to expand their business and get their products into more places. “We're working on mass production,” Colón said. “We're growing our kitchen area, and our bakery area — everything's, gonna be double of what it was.” He added that the family wants to make sure they can maintain the same quality as they increase the quantity of their product. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Colón shares more of his family's story and the challenges they faced. He also gave Lisa Bell a sample of some of the delicious food available at Melao Bakery. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of November 27 and December 4, 2023. MUSIC – 8 sec – Instrumental. That's part of “Backburner,” by The Faux Paws.  It opens Virginia Water Radio's annual episode on winter-weather preparedness.  Have a listen for about 30 seconds to some of the song's lyrics to set the stage for talking about cold times. MUSIC – ~32 sec – Lyrics: “I put my heart in the freezer, I put my love on ice,  I tell myself I don't need her, wouldn't that be nice?  I put my heart in the freezer, I put my love on hold, I tell myself I don't need her, and then I wonder why I feel so cold.  I wonder why I feel, I wonder why I feel, I wonder why I feel so cold.” All Virginia residents, whether or not they've tried to put their heart in the freezer, will soon have no wonder about why they feel so cold: winter astronomically begins in Virginia on December 21 at 10:27 p.m.  That's the Eastern Standard time of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, when that hemisphere is at its maximum tilt away from the sun.  From well before the December solstice, all the way through the season's conclusion in March, winter can bring cold temperatures, hazardous roads, power outages, fire hazards, and other concerns.  To help you be prepared, here are 10 tips compiled from information provided by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 1. Avoid traveling in winter-storm conditions if you can.  If you must travel, get road-condition information from the Virginia 511 telephone system, mobile app, or Web site, and carry in your vehicle an emergency kit, including jumper cables, blankets, a flashlight, food and water, and other items. 2. Have battery-powered sources of lighting and information, along with enough batteries to last through a power outage of several days. 3.  Develop and practice a family emergency plan that covers sheltering; escape from a home fire; emergency meeting places; communications; a supply of food, water, and medications; and other factors specific to your circumstances. 4.  Get fireplaces, wood stoves, and chimneys inspected and cleaned. 5.  Install a smoke detector in every bedroom and on every floor level; test them monthly and replace the batteries at least annually.  6.  Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home and check or replace the battery every six months. 7.  If you use electric space heaters, make sure they'll switch off automatically if the heater falls over; plug them into wall outlets, not extension cords; keep them at least three feet from combustible objects; don't leave heaters unattended; and check for cracked or damaged wires or plugs. 8.  Generators, camp stoves, and other devices that burn gasoline, charcoal, or other fuels should be used outdoors only. 9.  Learn where to shut off water valves in case a pipe bursts.And 10.  Be careful of overexertion during snow shoveling. More information on preparing for winter weather, fires, and other emergencies is available online from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, at vaemergency.gov. Next time the forecast calls for snow, freezing rain, or other wintry weather, here's hoping that you can stay warm, dry, and safe.

EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT WINTER WEATHER PREPAREDNESS The following information is quoted from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, “Winter Weather,” online at https://www.vaemergency.gov/threats/winter-weather, as of 11-6-23. “Winter storms can range from freezing rain or ice to a few hours of moderate snowfall, to a blizzard that lasts for several days.  Many winter storms are accompanied by dangerously low temperatures, power outages, and unpredictable road conditions. Before, during, and after a winter storm, roads and walkways may become extremely dangerous or impassable.  Access to critical community services such as public transportation, child care, healthcare providers and schools may be limited.  Preparing your home, car, and family before cold weather and a winter storm arrives is critical. *During a winter storm, stay off the roads as much as possible and only drive when absolutely necessary.  Always give snow plows the right of way.*Never use a generator, grill, camp stove or gasoline, propane, natural gas, or charcoal-burning device inside your home, garage, basement, crawlspace, or any other partially enclosed area.*Snow shoveling is a known trigger for heart attacks!  Always avoid overexertion when shoveling.*When severe weather occurs, plan to check on elderly or disabled neighbors and relatives.*If you must travel, know the road conditions before you leave home.  Visit 511Virginia.org or call 511 for road condition updates.*Protect yourself from frostbite!  Hands, feet, and face are the most commonly affected areas so wear a hat, and mittens (which are warmer than gloves) and cover your mouth with a scarf to reduce heat loss.*Keep dry!  Change out of wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat.*Wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer or heavy clothing. Winter Storm Watch – Be Aware Severe weather such as heavy snow or ice is possible in the next day or two. Winter Storm Warning – Take Action Severe winter conditions have either begun or will begin soon in your area. Prepare Your Home *Make sure your home is properly insulated.*Check the weather stripping around your windows and doors.*Learn how to shut off water valves in case a pipe bursts.*Have additional heat sources  on hand in case of a power outage.*Keep a fire extinguisher accessible.*Replace the batteries in your carbon monoxide detector annually. Prepare Your Car *Batteries lose power as temperatures drop, be sure to have yours tested.*Check your car's antifreeze level.*Have your radiator system serviced.*Replace your car's windshield wiper fluid with a wintertime mix.*Proactively replace your car's worn tires and wiper blades.*To help with visibility, clean off your car entirely – including your trunk, roof, windows, and headlights. Include a Car Emergency Kit Tailor your winter car emergency supply kit to you and your family's needs.  Here are suggested items: blankets;drinking water and snacks for everyone in the car, including pets;boots;basic first-aid kit;warm coat and insulating layers (sweatpants, gloves, hat, socks,);rags, paper towels, or pre-moistened wipes;basic set of tools;car emergency warning devices such as road flares or reflectors;ice scraper/snow brush;jumper cables/jump pack;fire extinguisher;cash;items for children such as diapers, baby wipes, toys, etc.;flashlight, with extra batteries;hand warmers;paper map;portable smartphone power bank;extra medication;garbage bags;traction aid such as sand, salt, or non-clumping, cat litter;tarp, raincoat, and gloves;shovel. Did You Know? *Dehydration can make you more susceptible to hypothermia.*If it's too cold for you, it's too cold for your pet!  Don't leave pets outside for prolonged periods of time and have plenty of fresh, unfrozen water on hand.*It can snow at temperatures well above freezing.*Temperatures do not have to be below zero degrees to cause harm.” SOURCES USED FOR AUDIO AND OFFERING MORE INFORMATION Timeanddate.com, “December Solstice: Longest and Shortest Day of the Year,” by Konstantin Bikos, Aparna Kher, and Graham Jones, online at https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/december-solstice.html.

 GDP Script/ Top Stories for Oct 31st  Publish Date: Oct 30th Hennsler: 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, October 31st and happy heavenly birthday to actor John Candy. ***UNCLE BUCK – PRINCIPAL MOLLY SCENE*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Kia Mall of Georgia. For ex-Texas Ranger Ian Kinsler, there is nothing complicated about the war in Israel Despite Economic Struggles, Norcross Continues To See Business, Residential Development Activity Duluth Police Arrest 45-Year-Old Man After Fatal Hit-And-Run   All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG STORY 1: Mac Engel: For ex-Texas Ranger Ian Kinsler, there is nothing complicated about the war in Israel Former Texas Rangers second baseman and current team advisor Ian Kinsler has a personal connection to the conflict in Israel. As a citizen of Israel and a player for the Israeli national baseball team, Kinsler is deeply affected by the events in the country. He revealed that people he knows in Israel have been able to find safety, but others have lost their lives in the ongoing war. Kinsler believes that Israel has the right to protect itself and compares the situation to the 9/11 attacks in the United States. He expressed his thoughts and prayers for those affected and hopes for a swift resolution to the conflict. As incidents of antisemitism have increased since the conflict began, Kinsler also spoke out against antisemitism, stating that it should not be happening. Having visited the places that were attacked, Kinsler has a firsthand understanding of the impact of the war, particularly in areas like Gaza where bomb shelters are prevalent and the remnants of past conflicts still remain.   STORY 2: Despite Economic Struggles, Norcross Continues To See Business, Residential Development Activity The city of Norcross has seen a slowdown in speculative development due to higher interest rates and longer loan approval times. Despite this, there are several projects under construction or being planned in the city, and businesses are moving to or expanding in the area. The economic development director mentioned that the slowdown in development allows the city to focus on supporting existing businesses. One significant project in progress is the 280-unit Prose Norcross residential development by Alliance Residential, set to open next summer. Additionally, there are plans for a new parking lot, housing redevelopment, a senior veteran residential development, and various businesses opening in the downtown area. ChefSuite, a ghost kitchen operator, is also coming to Buford Highway, offering kitchen space for a variety of culinary businesses.   STORY 3: Duluth Police Arrest 45-Year-Old Man After Fatal Hit-And-Run A man, Nidar Ballan-Bellan, has been arrested and charged with vehicular homicide and hit and run in connection with a pedestrian's death. The incident occurred on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Duluth in the early morning hours of October 23. Cassius Franswah, the 26-year-old pedestrian, was hit by a car and later pronounced dead at the hospital. The Duluth Police Department's Accident Investigation Unit conducted an investigation, identifying the type of vehicle involved as a Nissan Sentra. Using their Real-Time Crime Center's cameras, they tracked the vehicle to a specific area within the city, leading to Ballan-Bellan's arrest. He faces felony charges related to the incident.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back Break 2: Peggy Slappy – ESOG – TOM WAGES OBITS STORY 4: Suwanee voters must decide two City Council races In Suwanee's upcoming municipal election on November 7, there will be at least one leadership change. Post 1 Councilwoman Heather Hall is not seeking re-election, and three candidates are running to replace her: Karim Ladha, Julianna McConnell, and Glenn Weyant. Additionally, Post 2 Councilman Larry Pettiford is facing an opponent, Bradley Golz, in his re-election bid. However, the mayoral race is unopposed, as Mayor Jimmy Burnette is running for re-election without any challengers.   STORY 5:  San Diego jail populations plummeted during the pandemic. It didn't impact crime, researchers say A study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, and the University of Arizona focused on six California counties and found that plummeting inmate populations during the pandemic, driven by bail rule changes and decarceration efforts, did not consistently impact violent or property crime rates. While some counties experienced crime increases linked to reduced jail populations, others saw no correlation between these factors. The study's findings suggest that crime trends were influenced by factors beyond decarceration efforts and provide evidence that reducing inmate populations may not negatively affect public safety, supporting the case for criminal reform measures.     We'll be back in a moment Break 3: INGLES 1  - JACKSON EMC   STORY 6: Can Hamas war give Republicans a new chance to woo pro-Israel voters in 2024? The Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership summit was held in Las Vegas with all major GOP presidential candidates and other party officials in attendance. The event provided an opportunity for Republican candidates to show their support for Israel, which is a priority for many Republican voters and Jewish Americans. Although the majority of American Jews identify as Democrats, Republicans have made some inroads among Jewish voters, particularly on foreign policy issues. The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has brought Israel back to the center of American Jewish life, and the candidates hope to attract Jewish voters in key battleground states such as Pennsylvania. While the Republican Party's pro-Israel stance may appeal to some Jewish voters, many of their values align with the Democratic Party. President Joe Biden's response to the conflict has earned him high marks even among some Republicans.   STORY 7: Norcross Adopts Master Arts and Cultural Plan The City of Norcross has adopted the Norcross Master Arts and Cultural Plan, aiming to expand its public art identity, celebrate its cultural diversity, and recognize its history. This plan, developed over 14 years by the Norcross Public Arts Commission, will enrich the lives of citizens and stakeholders through arts and culture. The plan focuses on public art like sculptures, mosaics, and murals, fostering connections, encouraging dialogue, and exploring the city's rich history. Several public art projects are already in progress, with calls for artists issued to beautify public fences, create a gateway to Heritage Park, and craft interactive murals. Residents and local artists are encouraged to participate in shaping the city's artistic future.   We'll have final thoughts after this.

On July 24, 1847, a company of early Latter-day Saint pioneers piloted their way into the Salt Lake Valley. The leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young looked upon the valley and was said to declare, “This is the right place; drive on.” These early pioneers were joined by Latter-day Saints from around the world. Near the location where Brigham Young gave this prophetic declaration now stands “This Is The Place Heritage Park,” a Utah state park populated with historical homes, dedicated monuments and interactive exhibits to help individuals and families explore the early history of the Salt Lake Valley. This episode of the Church News podcast — released near the anniversary of the pioneers' entrance into the valley — explores history, heritage and faith with Ellis Ivory, the executive director of “This Is The Place Heritage Park.”  The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience.

Karen King loves the modern quilt aesthetic and has a particular fondness for foundation paper piecing. She has had quilts juried into Quilt Con 2022 and 2023, the largest annual show of modern quilts in the world.Her studio has grown to include a long arm machine and two resident feline supervisors, plus occasional foster kittens. Just for fun, Karen's favorite color is all of them, but she admits to a smaller stash of yellow, which I couldn't believe when I read that because my favorite colour is yellow. But cooking and music, especially from the band U2, and travel everywhere, especially if U2 is playing there, are also a big part of her life. Beyond quilting, Karen enjoys sharing her knowledge and expertise with a number of different organizations on a volunteer basis. Currently she serves on the board of the Modern Quilt Guild, the Calgary Folk Festival, and the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew.Visiting Calgary for the Festival of Quilts at Heritage Park?

TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of May 1 and May 8, 2023. SOUND – ~ 7 sec That's the sound of Toms Creek in Heritage Park in Blacksburg, Va., on the morning of April 25, 2023.  Winding through the lowland portion of this 169-acre park, Toms Creek's floodplain features a number of vernal pools—seasonal bodies of water that typically dry up during the summer and provide spring habitat for amphibians, birds, and other creatures. Have a listen for about 20 seconds to some mystery bird sounds recorded near the creek and one of those pools on April 25, and see if you know, first, the four bird species you're hearing, and, second, the mobile device app used to record and identify those species.  And here's a hint to the app name: a mythical, Medieval character with this name would be impressed with the app's technological wizardry. SOUNDS  - ~21 sec – In order heard: Red-winged Blackbird, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Northern Cardinal, Eastern Meadowlark, Cardinal again, Blackbird again. If you guessed the birds Red-winged Blackbird, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Northern Cardinal, and Eastern Meadowlark, you're right!  And if you guessed the app Merlin, you've got the right name for a highly useful bird-identification tool from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, located in Ithaca, New York.  Merlin allows users to get help identifying birds by sound, photo, or answering three questions about what one is seeing.  The Sound ID feature monitors birds sounds coming into one's mobile device and gives suggestions for species being heard; it currently has information on over 1000 species worldwide and over 500 in the United States and Canada.  The Photo ID offers species suggestions based on photos taken by the user.  And the Bird ID Wizard asks users questions about bird size, color, and activity and then gives possible matches.  These features are supported by another Cornell program, eBird, through which thousands of birders around the world contribute bird sightings, photos, and recordings. More information about Merlin, eBird, and other Cornell Lab of Ornithology programs is available online at allaboutbirds.org.  Thanks to Cornell for providing tools to help people learn about the feathered creatures inhabiting our streamsides, forests, city streets, backyards, and other habitats.  And we let one more of those creatures—a Brown Thrasher, also recorded with Merlin on April 25—have the last calls.

In Episode 281 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger stroll Heritage Park in Manchester, New Hampshire, in search of the statue of a man sitting on a park bench holding a small box with dials on it. The statue depicts Ralph Baer, who changed the world back in 1966 when he developed the first home video game console. From two lines knocking a small digital square back-and-forth, a $220 billion dollar industry was born. See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-281-the-man-behind-the-console/
