A review of Icon of the Seas. Staff writer Richard Simms has cruise news. This week, we cover a record-setting day in Nassau as more than 33,000 cruise passengers arrived in port, ongoing chaos in Santorini as a controversial passenger distribution rule triggers another shutdown, and the tragic death of a pregnant fin whale believed to have been struck by Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas near Seward, Alaska. We also discuss Royal Caribbean's decision to allow suite guests to bring non-suite friends into Coastal Kitchen for a fee, a massive brawl at PortMiami that resulted in 16 Carnival passengers being permanently banned from the cruise line, and Carnival's new limited-edition Bulleit single-barrel bourbon being sold aboard select ships as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration. Michael and Tiffany return to Cruise Radio to share their review of a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas. Sailing from Miami, they discuss what it was like experiencing one of the world's largest cruise ships and whether the hype lives up to reality. The couple shares their thoughts on the ship's layout, dining, entertainment, and crowd management, including why the vessel never felt crowded despite carrying more than 7,000 guests. They discuss favorites like Pearl Café, Giovanni's Italian Kitchen, Hooked Seafood, the AquaTheater production, and Royal Caribbean's adults-only Hideaway areas both onboard and at Perfect Day at CocoCay. They also talk about their visits to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Perfect Day at CocoCay, along with tips for navigating the ship, finding quiet spaces, and deciding whether Icon of the Seas is worth the premium price.

Rob’s Love Letters to Love Island Love Island USA Season 8, Rob Cesternino, Kirsten MacInnis, and Brian Scally are exploring Love Island USA Season 8, as this trio takes on a week packed with shifting couples, villa drama, and the looming chaos of Casa Amor. The conversation explores why predictable recouplings still set the stage for major conflict and why some bombshells leave barely a ripple. The episode zeroes in on shakeups in pairings, Melanie bouncing back to Sincere and Kenzie returning to Corbin, and why these choices spark more frustration than excitement. The group explains how Casa Amor works, drawing clever comparisons to Temptation Island and what that twist might mean for fan favorites and doomed duos alike. They also debate production choices, from the unique “red zone” viewing approach to the impact of missing bombshells, unusual hot dog rewards, and a Hideaway sendoff choreographed to “Clap them Cheeks” with plenty of side-eye to hygiene protocols and recycled slime. Several points get special attention, including the shifting alliances among the women, speculation over strategic voting and fan manipulation in online spaces, and detailed takes on standout (and letdown) contestants. The Hideaway's openness, comparisons to past seasons, and the analysis of who's genuinely playing for love versus a future brand deal add extra layers to the recap. Sincere's pattern of saying what each partner wants to hear “It's giving Vince” sparks sharp debate Predictable recoupling leads to tension about whether viewers want stability or chaos in the villa Upcoming Casa Amor twist is dissected, with parallels to Temptation Island and predictions for major shake-ups The split among OG women and new bombshells highlights social game tension Hideaway antics, slime challenges, and unusual food rewards fuel talk of villa culture, humor, and boundaries Who will survive the next public vote, and will Kenzie manage to regain her footing with the original women if her new friends exit? As Casa Amor draws near, questions mount about who's in it for real connections versus a shot at social media fame. Head over and listen for all the villa gossip and the strategic predictions as the summer drama ramps up. 00:00 Love Island Week Three Begins 06:16 Sincere and Melanie Reunite 09:01 Casa Amor Twist Announced 13:32 Bombshells Flop 17:15 Online Voting and Split Strategies 21:04 Hideaway Opens: Kayda and Zach 26:14 Bryce's Failed Move on Kayda 32:16 Slime, Hot Dogs, and Hygiene 42:22 KC and Aniya Fizzle Out 46:10 Kenzie and Corbin Reunite 50:23 Women's Alliance and Villa Politics 56:00 Winning Doesn't Guarantee Fame 01:02:01 Elimination Predictions and Shakeups 01:07:11 Live Voting and Streaming Details LISTEN: Subscribe to the We Know Love Island podcast feed!

Dylan and Chris are back on Mention It All: Island Time to unpack Love Island USA Episodes 7-13, where the Hideaway opened early, Sincere lied like he wasn't being recorded, and Kenzie turned the villa into her own personal season of The Bachelorette. They debate whether Aniya is simply too pure for this level of chaos, and whether Zach and Kayda's biggest threat is a new bombshell or Bryce. With Beatriz gone and everyone suddenly acting like their week-old relationships are legally binding, Casa Amor needs to arrive immediately and blow this villa up for our entertainment.

In verses 8 through 11 of chapter 2, Jesus is speaking directly to the church in Smyrna. He says, "I know your suffering and your poverty―but you are rich. And I know the blasphemy that comes from those who say they are Jews but are not; rather, they are a synagogue of Satan."Smyrna was one of the finest seaports in the Roman world. Smyrna had exclusive rights to export myrrh, which was a valuable spice. Smyrna is named after myrrh. This is like the valuable spice in Star Wars with Han Solo's Kessel Run.Jesus noticed that the Christians in Smyrna were enduring a great deal of persecution or pressure. There was an ancient torture where a victim was laid on his back while a series of weights were laid on his chest. The three weights on the chest of the church of Smyrna were poverty, blasphemy, and persecution.It was a poor church -- a sitting duck for the afflictions Satan wanted to pour out on its members. Yet Jesus commends them. Despite their monetary poverty, because they held on to their faith in Jesus Christ, they were eternally rich.The angel at Jesus' open tomb tells the women, "Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here. He has risen, just as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay" (Matthew 28:5-6). The resurrected Christ later tells the women, "Do not be afraid. Go, tell my brothers that they should go to Galilee, and there they will see me" (Matthew 28:10). The ascended Lord Jesus tells the Christians in Smyrna, "Do not fear anything that you are about to suffer. Look, the Devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you will be tested, and you will suffer for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life" (Revelation 2:10).The force of the verbs in Greek is "Stop being afraid." Stop being afraid -- not just once -- but always. Stop being afraid, because there is no one and nothing that can defeat you, overwhelm you, or take you out of the nail-scarred hands of your Good Shepherd. St. Paul gives this encouragement to the Christians in Rome, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor rulers, neither things present nor things to come, nor powerful forces, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39).Jesus gives the goal for every Christian to be faithful in enduring whatever pressures he may allow Satan to set on our chests. Jesus desires Christians who are willing to suffer for him. Then they will receive the crown of eternal life. The crown is given to God's saints as they enter the glories of heaven. Jesus Christ is victorious as he sits on his higher throne, wearing his golden crown and robed in glory. Jesus -- our King, Savior, and Shepherd -- gifts his faithful saints with a crown as they gather around his golden throne for all eternity.Our faithful God gave physical life to Doris on October 6, 1933, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He then gave the gift of spiritual life through water and the Word when Doris was baptized at St. Lucas Lutheran Church in Milwaukee on October 14, 1933. Doris attended Sunday School and Catechism classes at St. Lucas during her childhood years. On May 25, 1947, she made her vows of faithfulness to her faithful God in her confirmation at St. Lucas. Doris was asked similar questions as these at her confirmation, "Do you intend to continue steadfast in this teaching and to endure all things, even death, rather than fall away from it? Do you intend faithfully to conform all your life to the teachings of God's Word, to be faithful in the use of the Word and Sacrament, and in faith and action remain true to God---Father, Son, and Holy Spirit---as long as you live?" The response to both questions is, "I do, and I ask God to help me."Doris chose Revelation 2:10 as her confirmation verse. "Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." By God's grace and the working of the Holy Spirit, Doris took her confirmation vow seriously. It was a vow of life and death. Doris made another vow of faithfulness to Bob and the Lord on December 6, 1952, at St. Lucas. By God's grace, Bob and Doris remained faithful in marriage for 58 years, until God called Bob to receive his crown of life in 2011. God blessed Bob and Doris' marriage with seven children.You can witness Doris' faithfulness in her various vocations as wife, mother, and employee. In Milwaukee, Doris was employed as an office worker. When she lived in Casper, she served as a medical records clerk, she volunteered as an office worker for the Casper Police Department, and volunteered for Meals on Wheels. She was always busy packing lunches, doing (I'm assuming lots of) laundry, cooking meals, cleaning the house, and cleaning up after seven children. It was a challenge to get seven children to church, but they always made it.Doris was a good cook. She made peanut butter sandwiches served with chocolate milk. She made excellent potato pancakes. She even made tater tots taste good! She would get up early to ask how her kids were doing before they started the early shift at work. She made sure her children made it to doctor or dentist or ophthalmologist appointments. She volunteered to help with crafts at the St. Lucas Girls Club -- but not in her kids' classes -- to the chagrin of her children, who heard from other students, "Your mom is so nice!" She would play the organ in the family room, often taking requests. "Hernando's Hideaway" was the most popular request of her children. It seems that Star Wars theme music became popular with her grandchildren.Bob served in the U.S. Air Force. While Bob was stationed in Tripoli, Libya, Africa, he, Doris, and the first of their two children lived in an apartment building. During the day when Bob was at the airbase, an Arab man knocked on the apartment door. Doris opened the door, and the Arab man began insisting that he babysit the two daughters. The man continued to insist, trying to work his way inside the apartment, while Doris kept telling him to leave. This had no effect. So, she reached grabbed the shotgun on the wall, that was there for emergencies and pointed it at him. The Arab screamed and ran down the hallway. He never returned. I wonder why. Doris was faithful in protecting her family ... with a shotgun, if necessary.The family has great stories to tell. I encourage you to ask them to go more in-depth later in the fellowship hall. The beautiful part of a Christian funeral is that God is able to mix laughter and joy with our grief and tears.When Bob and Doris moved to Casper in 1981, Lord of Lords was small and only had a handful of members. You can imagine that those members were excited to see the Miller clan in church because they doubled the size of the congregation! Ruthie volunteered her mom to Pastor Russow to play the piano for worship. She played for a long time, until her fingers didn't cooperate. Doris made many of the banners that beautify our sanctuary. These were ways that the Lord of the Church used Doris and her vow of faithfulness to the Lord for his kingdom work.The members here miss Doris making coffee for them in the coffee pot every Sunday morning. When Doris became homebound, I took on that task of making coffee. That lasted two weeks ... until I was banned from making coffee. You can also ask me later to tell you the story of that misadventure.As faithful as Doris was in her vocations as a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, employee, organist, and church member, she did not do it on her own. Because of her inborn sin passed on to her from her parents Edward and Emilie, and because of her actual sins, Doris could not be faithful. None of us can be faithful for the same reasons. Not to our spouse or our children or our employers ... and especially not to our God. By his grace, God both calls us to be faithful and gives us the sanctified ability to be faithful. All through the faithfulness of his Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus makes us faithful.Jesus knows from experience about the pressures on his chest. The pressures of being born into a world that did not want him -- where the king of the country tried to murder him as an infant. The pressures of the Devil's 40-day desert temptations. The pressures of his hometown neighbors attempting to throw him off a cliff. The pressures of the Jewish religious leaders opposing everything Jesus claimed about himself. The pressures of the gates of hell being opened, so the demons possessed so many people. The pressures of one of his closest friends betraying him, another denying him, and the rest deserting him.Jesus was perfectly faithful in worship to his heavenly Father, faithful in respect to his earthly parents, faithful in his protection of life, faithful in his sanctity of marriage, and faithful in the way he never coveted a home, a meal, or even a pillow, since he didn't own any of those things. Why did he do this? Because he knew that Doris, and we as Doris' family and friends would not and could not be faithful. We don't always worship the Lord -- we skip worship if the weather is too nasty or too nice. We disrespect our parents and are frustrated with our children. We don't protect the lives of the most helpless among us. We are not faithful before marriage or during marriage. We have been given so much, yet we still covet more.Jesus was faithful, so he could give his faithfulness to cover our unfaithfulness. Jesus was perfect to cover our imperfections. Jesus was holy to cover our unholiness and then make us holy. More than that, Jesus went to the cross to pay for all our unfaithfulness.For every cowardly act on our part, Jesus stood strong against the temptations of Satan. Every time we put him last on the weekend, he made our salvation his singular thought on the cross. Every time we are afraid to be forsaken by friends or family because of our faith in Jesus, he endured being forsaken by his heavenly Father. He was crowned with thorns so that we might receive a crown of glory. He walked the streets of sorrow so that we might walk streets paved with gold. He endured an eternity of hell on the cross so that we might spend an eternity in heaven with him in Jerusalem the Golden. He was covered with blood so that we might be covered with his robes of righteousness.Today we celebrate that by God's grace, through his Word, Baptism, and Lord's Supper, Doris remained faithful to the Lord. On May 7, she entered the gates of heaven. Jesus was there to say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Then Jesus put a white robe and a golden crown on his new heavenly saint. Now the encouragement for you is to follow Doris' example as your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. Remember, remain faithful to the Lord unto death. Not because of the vow you make before God's altar in church, but because of the vow Christ made to you on the altar of his cross. He is the One who is speaking in Revelation 2:10. He makes his promise to you: "Do not fear anything that you are about to suffer. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." Amen.

As the Islanders face off in a messy soccer-themed challenge and new connections threaten to shake up old couples, the show's social dynamics reach a boiling point with Casa Amor just around the corner. Claire Rehfuss dives into her long-standing love for Love Island, highlighting what sets this cast apart and why the off-screen commentary is almost as essential as the on-screen action. The pair explore the Melanie/Sincere/Sol triangle, where Melanie's vocal break-up bravado clashes with her late-night moves in Sol Ties. The hot dog-goo challenge earns plenty of airtime, from KC and Aniya's winning use of height strategy to Zach's choice to go “honk honk”, leaving everyone cringing.

The hot dog challenge brings strange strategies and even stranger jokes, with Islanders grappling with goo, awkwardness, and the search for a prize. Gabe continues his “lover boy” streak, while Jen's dry humor and moments in the confessional catch notice. KC and Aniya's relationship status comes under scrutiny as both outside opinions and possible new interests stir the pot. Kenzie dodges boundaries as Caleb tries to tighten the connection, sparking questions about loyalty. With the Hideaway now open and bombshell arrivals looming, can these couples survive the temptations of Casa Amor? What will it take for steady pairs like Trinity and Bryce to go the distance, and who's poised to switch things up when pressure mounts?

This is a Vintage episode from 2005.The Restaurant Guys welcome chef-owner Liza Queen of Queen's Hideaway, a tiny Greenpoint restaurant where the menu changed with the market, the farmers, the smoker, and whatever was left in the kitchen by the end of the week.Why This Episode MattersLiza Queen explains how Queen's Hideaway built its menu around farmers, Greenmarket shopping, small quantities of meat, and improvisation.The episode captures a very specific moment in Brooklyn dining, before “market-driven neighborhood restaurant” became a polished concept.Liza talks honestly about the chaos of running a small restaurant: tiny kitchen, no air conditioning, long hours, broken equipment, landlord issues, and sudden press attention.The Guys connect Queen's Hideaway to a larger idea: great food does not need pretense, luxury, or a white-tablecloth.The conversation is a snapshot of a restaurant that became a cult favorite by cooking personally, affordably, and very much in the moment.BanterMark and Francis begin with a conversation about fine dining, New Jersey, and the complicated blessing of being so close to New York. They talk about what separates true hospitality from restaurant theater: a warm welcome, good service, and the feeling that the experience is being created for the guest.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys welcome Liza Queen, chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Liza explains that the restaurant does not really have a set menu because the cooking depends on what she can get from farmers, what meats are available, and what shows up at the Greenmarket. What sounds like a concept is, in her telling, mostly survival: if the restaurant runs out of one thing, she cooks the next best thing.Liza talks about moving back east after cooking in Portland, where she felt limited by diners who were less adventurous than she wanted to be. In Brooklyn, she opened what she imagined as a neighborhood place, only to find people coming from Manhattan, upstate, and even New Jersey after early press and word of mouth spread. The restaurant is tiny, informal, and very personal, with a front-of-house and kitchen team made up largely of friends she describes as imported family.The conversation moves through smoked meats, Wonderbread, broken ice cream makers, root vegetables, and the daily anxiety of building a menu from what the market provides. Liza is funny, humble, and matter-of-fact about the work: 8 a.m. to after midnight, six days a week, in a small kitchen with a very big personality.After the interview, Mark and Francis reflect on why Queen's Hideaway resonated. For them, the point is not trendiness or thrift alone; it is food cooked thoughtfully, with excellent ingredients, without snobbery. The episode becomes a defense of the finer things in life at every price point, from a serious restaurant meal to a great hot dog, a real waffle with ice cream, or a neighborhood place that simply cooks what it has and does it well.Timestamps0:00 Fine dining, New Jersey, and what makes hospitality feel gracious6:15 Liza Queen joins the show and explains the no-set-menu approach8:00 Liza's experience and desire to open a place on the East Coast15:00 Smoking meat, winter cooking, Wonderbread, pies, and the tiny kitchen reality21:30 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentious29:00 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentiousBioLiza Queen was the chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a small, market-driven restaurant known for its changing menu, smoked meats, pies, and fiercely personal cooking.

**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219** **Focus: Jackson Nightclubs vs. the City of Jackson and Jackson Police Department** During the show, Clay Edwards discussed the growing tension between bar and nightclub owners in Jackson and city leadership, particularly the Jackson Police Department and the new police chief. He framed it as businesses being forced to solve problems that he believes should be handled through normal city services. ### The Situation Clay Described Clay spoke with a bar owner in North Jackson whose establishment is located in a strip mall with multiple bars. Recent shootings in the shared parking lot have hurt business, including one incident where a young woman who had recently graduated high school was killed during a post-graduation party. Clay noted that in most cases, the violence occurs **outside** the bars after people leave the premises — not inside the venues themselves. He pointed out that several of the bars in the area (including well-run spots like the Hideaway, Fourth and Goal, and Capital Grille) already maintain security inside their establishments. The problems arise in the common parking areas of the strip mall. ### The City's Position According to Clay, the new Jackson Police Chief has pushed for bars and nightclubs to hire additional private security or off-duty police officers at the businesses' own expense. The idea is to reduce the department's involvement in handling issues at these locations. Clay also mentioned that open-container rules previously signed by Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba have contributed to the problem, as some patrons now feel entitled to drink in parking lots. ### Clay's Argument Against the City's Approach Clay strongly disagreed with shifting the full burden onto business owners. His main points were: - Businesses already pay property taxes and sales taxes to the city and are therefore entitled to basic police services, just like homeowners. - Making bars pay for extra off-duty officers (reportedly around $475 per night, with multiple officers often needed for larger lots) places an unfair financial strain on small business owners. - The violence is happening in public or semi-public spaces (parking lots), and the city should provide proactive policing in known problem areas rather than forcing businesses to cover the cost. - A police precinct is located nearby, so regular drive-through presence should be feasible without requiring businesses to pay extra. - Jackson often treats businesses — especially entertainment venues — as adversaries rather than partners. Clay said, in effect, that when you operate a business in Jackson, you are “in business against Jackson.” He contrasted this with the Belhaven and Fondren areas, where Capitol Police maintain a visible presence. Clay argued that this proactive approach has helped those districts remain safer and more successful, and he questioned why similar support isn't extended to other parts of the city. ### Clay's View on Responsibility Clay acknowledged that bars should handle security **inside** their venues. However, he maintained that once people leave and enter the parking lot or public areas, it becomes a broader public safety issue that the city and police department should address. He said businesses cannot reasonably be expected to control behavior after patrons get into their cars and leave the property. He also noted that well-run bars are already spending significant money on internal security and that additional mandates could push some establishments out of business or force them to relocate. ### Overall Takeaway from the Discussion Clay presented the conflict as part of a larger pattern in Jackson where the city expects private businesses to compensate for weak enforcement and public safety shortcomings. He argued that the focus should be on stronger proactive policing in high-risk areas rather than requiring bar owners to pay for what he sees as basic city services.

Mountain Trails sits nestled on Winchester's Old Town walking mall at 115 North Loudoun Street, where owner Garry Green has cultivated something rare in retail: a store that feels like a community. After 34 years in business—the last 13 at this location—Garry has discovered what he calls "the Loudoun Street Magic," especially on Saturday evenings when the mall comes alive. He shares his passion during this episode of The Valley Today, with host Janet Michael and cohost Brady Cloven, executive director of Friends of Old Town. Mountain Trails' move from its original Cork Street location transformed the business entirely. "The demographic literally went from climbers, backpackers, and travelers to just everyone," Garry explains. The visibility proved phenomenal, and the store has become an integral part of Winchester's identity, appearing regularly in social media posts and drawing visitors from states away. Education Over Sales: A Revolutionary Approach What sets Mountain Trails apart isn't just their inventory—it's their philosophy. Garry's mission statement centers on creating "a safer, more enjoyable wilderness or travel experience," which means the staff focuses on qualifying customer needs rather than pushing products. "We are not here to sell things to you," Garry emphasizes. "We try to qualify your needs and provide for those needs." This approach resonates deeply in a business where equipment failures can have serious consequences. Whether customers are paddling the Shenandoah River for the first time or heading to Mount Everest base camp, their concerns receive equal validation. Garry recalls outfitting a gentleman for climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at nearly 20,000 feet. When the climber returned, he shared a remarkable moment: "I was at 16,000 feet and I heard you talking to me." The boots and backpack performed exactly as Garry had promised—the ultimate validation for the staff. Curating the Right Gear for Every Adventure Every single item in Mountain Trails serves a purpose. "Everything in Mountain Trails other than, let's just say a t-shirt, needs to function," Garry explains. "It has a job. And it needs to do that when you need it to do it." From rain gear to sock structure—yes, even socks matter—the curation process ensures customers receive appropriate equipment for their specific adventures. The store's tagline captures this breadth: "hiking, climbing, trekking, travel." However, their secondary motto, "Quality Outdoor Outfitters," opens the door wider. International travelers heading to Peru or around the world find the education and experience they need. Summer canoeists discover dry bags and quick-drying clothing. Skiers find bibs and cross-country equipment. Technical rock climbers locate harnesses and safety gear. Meeting Customers Where They Are Understanding the customer's experience level proves crucial to Garry's approach. The outdoor industry's biggest emerging demographic is what he calls "the casual adventurer"—people who want to hike two miles to a waterfall with trail runners, trekking poles, and a day pack, then return to town for lunch. These customers have vastly different needs from long-distance trekkers carrying their "house on their back" for multiple days. "Not everybody needs a $400 three-layer Gore-Tex rain jacket," Garry points out. While climbers heading to Mount Everest might need that level of protection, an $80 waterproof jacket works perfectly for someone's golf bag. This honesty builds trust. Moreover, the relationship continues as customers grow in their outdoor pursuits, returning to upgrade their gear as they tackle more challenging adventures. The Power of Kindness and Experience When hiring staff, Garry's number one criterion isn't outdoor expertise—it's kindness. "You have to put that customer's best interest at heart above anything else," he insists. This philosophy creates what international visitors have called "the feel" of Mountain Trails, something that distinguishes it from sterile big-box retailers. The staff's personal experience matters tremendously. "They've been wet, cold, hungry, tired," Garry notes. "They're here to help you suffer better." Garry himself spent years guiding in Alaska and running outdoor adventure programs for the U.S. Air Force, helping service members decompress after deployment. He recalls a winter camping trip where a participant thought she wouldn't survive the night because her "butt was cold"—she hadn't inflated her sleeping pad. After inflating it and adding hand warmers, she proclaimed he'd saved her life. "You passed through a window," he told her, referring to those challenging moments all outdoor enthusiasts eventually face. Beyond the Hardcore: Everyday Customers Welcome While Mountain Trails caters to serious adventurers, everyday shoppers find unexpected value. Janet shares how the store helps her buy gifts for her mother-in-law who bikes the C&O Canal—despite Janet's self-proclaimed lack of outdoor interests. "I can come in here and just say, she does this and you can help me find the perfect gift for her," she explains. The store even welcomes those who simply want to look the part. "I love this store even though I am not an outdoors person," Janet admits. Garry laughs, acknowledging that sometimes "it's all about the look." This inclusive approach means everyone feels welcome, whether they're heading into the wilderness or just want quality gear for weekend activities. A Global Reputation Built on Local Service The store's reputation extends far beyond Winchester. Visitors from Syracuse, Cleveland, and even international locations make Mountain Trails a regular stop. Garry recalls a family from Israel who declared it their favorite outdoor store globally. "We go into these stores all over the world, and this one is our favorite so far," they told him. What impressed them? The feel of the place—something intangible that staff members hear about regularly. This atmosphere stems from Garry's operating principle: "Everybody's welcome until they're not." The staff genuinely cares, creating an environment that feels more like a community gathering space than a transaction-focused retail outlet. Social media serves not primarily as a sales tool but as "an instrument of familiarity," sharing articles about climbing, skiing, and outdoor adventures that customers want to read over their morning coffee. Connecting with Mountain Trails In mid-March, Mountain Trails will transition from their winter hours into regular hours: Monday through Thursday 10 AM to 7 PM, Fridays and Saturdays 10 AM to 8 PM, and Sundays noon to 5 PM. Customers can find them on Facebook and Instagram or visit mountain-trails.com for basic information, though the real experience requires stepping through their door on the walking mall. Old Town Winchester: Building Community Through Events Chocolate Escape Perseveres Through Arctic Conditions The second half of the conversation shifts focus to Brady Claven, executive director of Friends of Old Town Winchester, who shares updates on recent events and upcoming attractions. February's Chocolate Escape faced brutal weather—17-degree temperatures with windchill predictions of negative 10 degrees—yet determined participants still filled the walking mall with their maps, hitting every participating location. Approximately 30 merchants participated in the event, which aims not just to distribute chocolate but to drive foot traffic into stores during cold months. The strategy worked. Faire Isles, for instance, welcomed numerous first-time visitors, and overall feedback indicated people discovered stores they'd never visited before. "The point of it is to get people into stores," Brady explains, noting that participants might not linger outside as long in freezing weather, but they spent more time browsing inside. Celebrating Black History Month Through Partnership Friends of Old Town partnered with NAACP Winchester and secured generous sponsorship from Valley Health to present three Black History Month events. Typewriter Studio hosted a spoken word and art gallery night featuring Monica James and representatives from Selah Theater. Bright Box presented "History and Cocktails" with Nick Powers from the MSV delivering an outstanding historical talk about the Valley's Black history, tying into the upcoming VA250 celebration. Finally, Bistro Sojo offered a small plates and jazz night with a $35-per-person special menu and live performance by SU. Spin to Winchester: Pedaling for Progress Friends of Old Town's second annual Spin to Winchester fundraiser brought participants together inside Valley Health for a 45-minute stationary bike class. Each rider crowd-funded their participation, raising a minimum of $250, with prizes awarded for most funds raised, sweatiest rider, and highest mileage. The event exceeded expectations, hitting 120% of its goal and attracting 20 more individual donors than the previous year. "It's very apparent by the end of this 45-minute class, certain people are, myself included, just dripping with sweat," Brady admits, describing the intense workout led by instructor Pam from Valley Health. Despite the physical challenge—including what seemed like endless "last hills"—the fundraiser's success directly supports Old Town programs and events throughout the year. Taylor Pavilion: A Transformation Underway Ground has broken on the Taylor Pavilion renovation, with completion targeted for before WineFest during Apple Blossom season. The transformation will create a social gathering space that addresses a common community need. "We do hear a lot from people that say, well, you know, there's really not a space if I don't wanna drink or if I don't want to eat," Brady notes. The new pavilion will offer a place where people can grab a bagel and sit, play chess, listen to music, or simply enjoy being on the mall. It will serve as a meeting point before art classes at Typewriter Studio or ShenArts—a place for friends to gather with coffee and catch up before heading to other destinations. Notably, the infamous "ping pong table on an incline" from the conceptual rendering will not materialize, though Brady jokes they should install a commemorative statue. Celtic Fest Returns March 14th Looking ahead to March, Celtic Fest promises to be a highlight. Scheduled for Saturday, March 14th from noon to 5 PM, the event will feature approximately 35 vendors lining the mall from the south end near Hideaway northward. Partners include Ravenwood Foundation, which brings expertise in outdoor Highland games. City Pipes and Drums will perform throughout the day. Faire Isles plans Irish dancers in their alcove, while other merchants prepare special attractions. Piper Dan's and Union Jack's—recently reopened after flooding—will participate, with Brady hoping to coordinate a special menu. Additionally, Brady plans to transform the museum lawn into a kids' Highland games zone, where children ages four to ten can throw foam logs, compete in disc throwing, and win prizes. Staying Connected Those interested in Old Town Winchester events can follow Friends of Old Town on Facebook and Instagram (@FriendsOfOldTownWINC) or visit friendsofoldtown.org for a complete calendar. First Friday events return in June with a "Summer of Covers" theme featuring cover bands, including a special August event partnering with River House. A Community That Cares Whether discussing Mountain Trails' dedication to customer safety and satisfaction or Friends of Old Town's commitment to creating community experiences, this conversation reveals Winchester's character: a city where businesses and organizations prioritize people over profit, relationships over transactions, and community over convenience. From outdoor gear to outdoor festivals, the message remains consistent—everyone's welcome, expertise matters, and kindness forms the foundation of everything worthwhile.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz spoke with me about his secret desire to run away with the carnival, struggling as a young writer, finding his voice, the evolution of his process, and his latest novel THE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY. International bestselling author Dean Koontz was a senior in college when he won an Atlantic Monthly fiction competition. He has never looked back. Koontz has written over 120 novels, been published in over 38 countries, and sold an incredible 500 million copies to date.

One Door Away From Heaven, From the Corner of His Eye, Midnight, Cold Fire, The Bad Place, Hideaway, Dragon Tears, Intensity, Sole Survivor, The Husband, Odd Hours, Relentless, What the Night Knows, and 77 Shadow Street). His latest novel, The Friend of the Family, is described as the story of “A girl liberated from a carnival sideshow [who] discovers her mysterious purpose in a moving novel about family, sacrifice, and transcendent love…” Dean Koontz has been hailed by Rolling Stone as “America's most popular suspense novelist,” and The New York Times has called his writing “psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying.” Many of his books have been made into films.

A Toast to Community Spirit Winchester's Old Town district is shaking off the post-holiday blues with a spirited comeback. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael and Brady Cloven, Executive Director for Friends of Old Town, recently embarked on what they jokingly called "research"—a Friday afternoon bar crawl previewing Old Town on the Rocks, a revived cocktail competition set for January 16-18, 2026. The event marks the return of a beloved tradition that disappeared during COVID. After a five or six-year hiatus, Brady and his team approached the original organizers to revive the competition. "They said, cool, we'll give you the ownership of it. Do what you want with it," Brady recalls with a laugh. A New Focus on Main Street This year's competition takes a more focused approach than its predecessor. Rather than spreading across the entire city, Old Town on the Rocks concentrates exclusively on the Old Town Walking Mall and Main Street district businesses. "We're the Main Street Program and our region and our scope is the Old Town District," Brady explains. While future years may expand to include establishments like Oak Stone or Crush, this inaugural revival keeps things tight and manageable. The strategy serves a dual purpose: showcasing the creativity of local bartenders while driving business during one of the slowest months of the year. "Everybody backs off from being out after the holidays," Brady notes, "but this is trying to push them through for a weekend and say, hey, there's still things to do down here." Stop One: Hideaway Cafe's Coffee Cocktail Mastery The duo begins their journey at Hideaway Cafe, where co-owner Greg Armstrong has transformed a coffee shop into an unexpected cocktail destination. Located in the big green building on the corner of Cork and Loudoun—the old Bargain Corner for longtime Winchester residents—Hideaway boasts a unique advantage: a full espresso bar alongside its liquor license. Greg's background reveals a passionate hobbyist turned professional. Years ago, he took a bartending course as a gift, but his instructor quickly realized Greg's extensive knowledge. "The guy who was teaching the course realized that he would go through what was in the text, and then turn to me and say, what do you know about it?" Greg remembers. "And I would talk for half an hour about whatever it was." The Long Winter's Night Manhattan For the competition, Greg crafted the Long Winter's Night Manhattan, a sophisticated twist on the classic Black Manhattan. Instead of traditional vermouth, he uses Amaro—an Italian botanical liqueur—then adds Licor 43 (Cuarenta y Tres), a Spanish cordial with 43 infused botanicals that brings vanilla and citrus notes. A touch of Amarena syrup rounds out the cherry flavors. "It's got really good flavor," Brady observes after his first sip, noting the lingering spice from the whiskey and botanicals. Janet agrees enthusiastically, remarking that the alcohol doesn't overpower the complex layers—a common pitfall in bourbon-forward drinks. Greg's bar operates on an unconventional schedule. Patrons can order cocktails from 9 AM until closing, though Greg admits morning orders tend toward Irish coffees and espresso martinis. The cafe closes Mondays for administrative work, opens 9-2 on Tuesdays, 9-5 Wednesday through Saturday, and 9-4 on Sundays. Special evening events extend hours to around 7 PM, all posted on their Facebook page. Stop Two: V2's Nerdy Indulgence Next, Janet and Brady head to V2, where GM/bar manager Courtney has prepared something entirely different. The restaurant, which has anchored Old Town for 23 years, recently expanded its beverage program and just secured an ABC license for its sister restaurant, Mangia Cucina Italiana. Courtney's creation, the Red Eye Mordor, draws inspiration from an unexpected source: the 25th anniversary re-release of Lord of the Rings, screening the same weekend as the competition. "I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, as well as my boyfriend," Courtney explains. "I kind of just wanted something that inspired me from the movie, plus to kind of nerd out with it." A Coffee-Based Journey to Middle Earth The cocktail combines coffee with a hint of spice, referencing Frodo's sleepless journey into the fiery realm of Mordor. Edible gold glitter symbolizes the One Ring, while red glitter on top adds visual drama. When Janet admits she's never seen Lord of the Rings, Brady looks genuinely shocked. "This drink is literally going to be my introduction to Lord of the Rings," she laughs. After tasting, Brady's eyes widen. "Oh my gosh, it's like a spiced hot chocolate," he exclaims. "It lingers a lot in a good way." Janet agrees, noting that even non-coffee drinkers would appreciate the balanced flavors. Courtney's creative process involves considerable trial and error—and drinking. While developing the Red Eye Mordor, she struggled to identify a missing ingredient, complicated by recovering from illness. "Two days I'm stewing on this," she recalls. "I finally figured it out. I'm not gonna say 'cause it's a secret ingredient, secret recipe." Beyond the competition, V2 offers an extensive menu featuring fresh pasta and a growing tequila collection. Their happy hour runs 4-6 PM Monday through Friday, with a special Saturday morning happy hour featuring dollar oysters. The restaurant operates 11:30 AM to 9 PM Monday through Saturday. Stop Three: Roma's Warm Surprise The final stop brings Janet and Brady to Roma, known primarily for pizza but hiding a sophisticated bar program. Chris, the bartender who created the competition entry, isn't present, but his Smooth Like Butta cocktail speaks for itself. This drink stands out as the only warm cocktail in the competition—a bold choice that initially makes Brady hesitant. "I'm not a huge fan of warm drinks," he admits. The cocktail features Elijah Craig Rye, house-infused apple brandy, house citrus shrub, and a touch of butter. Defying Expectations After the first sip, Brady's skepticism evaporates. "Oh, that is smooth like butta," he marvels. Janet, equally impressed, confesses her initial doubts: "I had my doubts, but all of my doubts have now been erased. This is amazing." The butter element proves particularly striking. "It even tastes like butter," Janet observes. "After you're done, you can feel it on your lips." Brady nods enthusiastically, calling the experience "insane." The warm cocktail's timing couldn't be better. While the preview happens on a mild 60-degree rainy day, the actual competition weekend will likely bring temperatures in the 30s or 40s—perfect weather for a warming drink. The Competition Framework Old Town on the Rocks features eight participating establishments: Hideaway Cafe, Roma, V2, Wine Room, TT Walls, The Half Note Lounge, Bistro Sojo, and Uno's (located under the George Washington Hotel). Each venue creates a unique cocktail using Elijah Craig bourbon, courtesy of sponsor Heaven Hill. The competition runs two parallel tracks. A panel of four judges—including Charlie Fish, one of the original Winchester on the Rocks organizers—will evaluate drinks using a standardized rubric. The winner receives a trophy provided by Elijah Craig. Simultaneously, fan voting occurs via QR codes at each location, determining the People's Choice winner. "I think it's a good way to have four judges who are all very interested in Old Town and live here, work here," Brady explains. However, Janet acknowledges that many restaurants value the popular vote even more than the judges' trophy. "They wanna know how many votes did they get as the most popular. That means a lot more to them sometimes." Heaven Hill Distillery and Elijah Craig stepped up as sponsors after Brady reached out following a suggestion from Caleb at Roma. "Just like that we did and they came and we had a conversation," Brady recalls. "I said, here's what we're thinking. They said, we'd love that idea." Beyond the Bourbon The event serves a larger mission for Winchester's Main Street Program. Brady pushes back against the perception that Old Town hibernates during winter months. "I don't think that Old Town goes into hibernation mode," he insists. "I think you just have to really look, and there are a ton of things that we have that can pull you indoors." He points to four museums within walking distance, an emerging arts district featuring Typewriter Studio and Polka Dot Pot, and the ongoing holiday market at ShenArts. "There is always something to do when it gets colder," Brady emphasizes. "You just still look a little harder, and we're hoping to push that forward." The timing also addresses a critical business challenge. January represents a financial lurch for small businesses—customers are waiting on tax returns, recovering from holiday spending, and generally reluctant to venture out. "It's still very important to support your small businesses," Brady urges. Even those who can't attend can help by sharing event information on social media. A Culinary Hub's Diversity Throughout their afternoon journey, Janet and Brady repeatedly note Old Town's remarkable diversity. "Everything is very unique down here," Janet observes. "You're not gonna walk up and down the mall or even on the ancillary parts and find exactly the same thing." The three cocktails they sample prove her point. From Hideaway's sophisticated Manhattan variation to V2's nerdy espresso martini to Roma's buttery warm concoction, each establishment brings distinct creativity to the same base spirit. "We've had a Manhattan, an espresso martini, and now a nice warm mock cider drink," Brady summarizes, still marveling at the variety. This diversity extends beyond beverages. V2 makes syrups in-house and infuses its own spirits. Courtney recently experimented with homemade limoncello for the group's new restaurant, Mangia, using V2 as her "guinea pig." Hideaway leverages its espresso equipment to create coffee cocktails other bars can't replicate. Roma operates Alesatian Brewery upstairs while serving creative cocktails downstairs. The Road Ahead As Janet and Brady wrap up their preview—admittedly feeling the effects of three bourbon drinks—they reflect on the challenge ahead. "We have eight different restaurants participating. We've only hit three," Brady notes with a laugh. "And at this rate, we may not hit more than... we may not hit. This may be the only three that we do." The bourbon requirement, while creating cohesion, presents its own challenge. "It's great because I love bourbon," Brady admits. "It's not great because when you're trying to drink eight bourbon drinks..." He trails off, closing one eye dramatically. Despite the research hazards, both hosts express genuine excitement for the competition's potential. The event represents more than just cocktails—it's about community resilience, creative expression, and proving that Old Town thrives year-round. For those planning to participate, Brady recommends spreading the experience across the full weekend rather than attempting all eight venues in one night. "You have plenty of opportunity to come in and try these drinks at all these different places," he suggests diplomatically. Raising the Bar Old Town on the Rocks ultimately celebrates what makes Winchester's downtown special: independent businesses run by passionate people who genuinely care about their craft. Greg's encyclopedic alcohol knowledge, Courtney's nerdy creativity, and Chris's willingness to experiment with warm butter cocktails all reflect a community that refuses to phone it in. As Janet becomes a newly minted VIP at Hideaway (complete with keychain proof), she embodies the event's spirit—locals discovering new dimensions of familiar places, supporting neighbors, and finding reasons to gather during the coldest, darkest months. "Just share it on Facebook," Brady urges those who can't attend. "You don't have to come out for Old Town on the Rocks. You can just share it, 'cause people may see it and want to go out." In the end, that's what community looks like: raising a glass together, even when it's cold outside. Old Town on the Rocks takes place January 16-18 throughout Old Town Winchester.

This season, the scandal goes global. After a spectacular fall from grace, a certain royal exile trades his crown for a keffiyeh in what can only be described as the most bizarre royal reinvention since abdication became trendy.

Either way The FM3 dig into it and come out the other side forever touched by Heaven and Hell, and revived and ready for the next episode. So win win? Enjoy!

This season of “Love Island USA” is an unmitigated mess. Nearly every strong connection has been thrown out of the villa, one of our central couples was partially disappeared (with good reason) this week, and the vibes are, overall… unsettling. But from the wreckage of this season, can something beautiful still be salvaged? A friends-to-lovers story, perhaps? An inspiring pro basketball team? Or maybe one, beautiful, triumphant, Papaya-shaped, very clean New York City pigeon will outlast us all.
