Rebellen unter Konföderierten: Inmitten des Bürgerkriegs spaltet sich eine Gruppe von Deserteuren von der konföderierten Armee ab und verschanzt sich im Jones County, Mississippi. Der kleinen Hundertschaft gelingt es, den CSA die Kontrolle über die Region zu entreißen. Ein Farmer und Sklavereigegner sollte zum Symbol für den Aufstand werden: Newton Knight. Der „Free State of Jones“ ist einer der ungewöhnlichsten und umstrittensten Fälle der US-Bürgerkriegsgeschichte. Eine Miliz aus Südstaatlern, die sich weigerten, für die Sklavenhalter-Elite in den Krieg zu ziehen, verschanzt sich in den Sümpfen von Jones County – und erklärt sich kurzerhand unabhängig. Ihr Anführer: ein ehemaliger Sanitäter, Guerillakämpfer und späterer Deputy Marshal. War Newton Knight ein aufrechter Kämpfer für Gerechtigkeit – oder doch eher ein Eigenbrötler mit persönlicher Agenda? War der „Free State of Jones“ ein echtes Sezessionsprojekt – oder ein Mythos, geboren aus Legenden und Heimatstolz? Und was geschah nach dem Krieg mit einem Mann, der nicht aufhörte, sich gegen Ungerechtigkeit zu stellen – selbst dann nicht, als die Reconstruction in Blut und Gewalt mündete? Wir werfen einen kritischen Blick auf die Legende von Newton Knight, die Quellenlage – und auf die Menschen, die der Konföderation von innen heraus den Kampf ansagten. 00:00:00 - Intro und Einleitung: Die Rebellen unter den Rebellen 00:01:08 - Nachrichten aus dem Wilden Westen: New Orleans Item, 20.

Episode Summary Historical Lightning Incident: In 1902, a resident of Creston, Iowa, was struck by lightning twice during the same storm. Remarkably, he survived both strikes. The first lightning strike rendered him unconscious, but he woke up due to the ensuing heavy rainfall and continued his journey home, where he was struck a second time. Forecast for Iowa: The forecast indicates an active jet stream pulling low pressures across the state. Between now and Sunday, there's a potential for severe weather in portions of Iowa, including hail, high winds, and possibly tornadoes. Widespread rainfall is expected, with a potential for 2 to 4 inches across the state. Southeast Iowa may see the highest rainfall totals, while eastern Iowa could receive around 2 inches. The temperature in Iowa for April is near normal but slightly warmer. Warmer air masses are expected due to the Gulf being wide open for moisture influx. Dew points will likely be in the 50s and 60s, given the abundant moisture. While not super uncomfortable, it might feel a little sticky as it gets warmer, especially in the absence of rain.  Severe Weather Potential: The convective outlook indicates a slight risk statewide for severe weather, including hail, wind, and potentially tornadoes. Western Iowa is at an enhanced risk, depending on whether the sky clears during the day. The timing of clearing skies and the formation of a dry slot play a crucial role in severe weather development. Sunshine can warm the surface, create instability, and lead to thunderstorms with large hail and tornado potential. Rooting for Clearing Skies?: If you're a grower with crops to care for, you might want to root for clearing skies. However, striking a balance is essential—clearing skies without breaking the cap (which maintains instability) is ideal. The availability of convective potential energy (CAPE) determines the severity of thunderstorms. Climate Outlook: The next couple of weeks show signals for warmth and wetness, which is beneficial for restoring soil moisture. While there has been above-average precipitation in 2024, it's not enough to fully overcome the 3-4 year deficits caused by drought. The wet signal is good for planting and crop progress but may limit fieldwork due to excess moisture. Looking ahead, there are still signals for heat and equal chances of precipitation during the summer. Soil Loss and Tillage: Heavy rains (2 to 4 inches) can lead to soil loss, so land management practices like reducing tillage are important to consider. For growers of annual vegetables, tillage remains common, but some are exploring no-till techniques. Specialty Crops: Sweet corn is on track for a pre-4th of July harvest. Overwintered cilantro and spinach are bolting, and you're experimenting with different varieties. Overwintered Cut flowers like snapdragons, foxgloves, and bupleurum are close to blooming, benefiting from the warmth and moisture. Clovergold Flower Farm is using spring annual weeds like penny cress as fillers in bouquets—they add greenery and white flowers. Fruit Crops: Strawberry King blooms are appearing on some varieties. The “king blooms” are the largest and the first to open. Unfortunately, they got damaged by cold temperatures, resulting in a black center and no fruit development. However, the next round of flowers (bright green) looks promising for a good crop, albeit with decreased yield due to the initial damage. Growers are surprised at how well the grapes are looking despite challenges. Asparagus Incident: A grower in Jasper County had an incident with herbicide spraying. The neighbor sprayed 2,4-D on a windy day, but the grower covered everything with frost fabric except for the asparagus. The asparagus spears that were already up showed a classic symptom of herbicide contact (a crooked shape). The grower removed those affected spears, and the next round of asparagus is unaffected. Aster Yellows Phytoplasma - Comparison to 2012: In 2012, many growers faced issues with Aster yellows phytoplasma on garlic. The disease is spread by the Aster Leaf Hopper coming from the South. Comparison to 2012 Drought: While it's challenging to make an exact comparison, there are echoes this year of certain elements of the 2012 drought. The intensity of the 2012 second wave of drought was significant. The current drought is structurally different but still poses challenges. Growing Degree Days (GDD): By April 1st, the accumulation of growing degree days (GDD) was almost 400 in 2012. This year, we are closer to 200 GDD, indicating slower progress. Leafhoppers appeared earlier than usual in spring 2012 and affected garlic and small grains. Aster Yellows Phytoplasma: Aster yellows is caused by a phytoplasma and affects various plants, including garlic. Leafhoppers transmit the phytoplasma from infected plants to healthy ones. Symptoms include early yellowing of garlic leaves. Roguing out affected plants is essential to prevent further spread. Phytoplasmas: Phytoplasmas are derived from bacteria but behave like parasites. They cannot live independently and rely on vectors (like leafhoppers) for transmission.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Gunfire at a huge prom after-party at a home in Texas injured nine teenagers, and a second shooting in a nearby city is being investigated for a possible connection, officials said. Sheriff's deputies in Jasper County, in East Texas, arrived in the wee hours of Sunday at a home where about 250 people were partying, authorities said. They found nine victims with gunshot wounds that didn't appear to be life-threatening, according to a statement by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office.

The Fox and the Bantam Hen by Delos Dale FidlerMany of the events described in this book (except for the murder and subsequent investigation) have their parallels in this life. The writing of this book is something of a catharsis in dealing with this pain. This is a fictional account of dishonesty, malfeasance of duty by trusted public officials, hardships placed on honest people by dishonest officials and subsequent consequences suffered not by those officials but by the people they serve. Although this is a fictional account, the reader will recognize the traits illustrated in this story by officials foreign and domestic. This is not a book to give legal advice, accounting procedures, business decisions nor how to run a hotel. The opinions expressed in this work of fiction are solely those of the characters expressing them.Mr. Fidler was born in the quiet farming community of Rensselaer, Indiana, Jasper County, 70 miles south, southeast of Chicago, IL on August 8, 1938. He was raised in the bustling metropolis (of the time) of the steel mills and oil refineries of Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago, Indiana. Mr. Fidler graduated from Hammond Technical Vocational High School, proceeding on and graduating from Purdue University. This is the education that qualified him for a 51 plus year career as an outstanding engineer. Why this story of the (Grey Foxes) (The Fox and the Bantam Hen)? Mr. and Mrs. Fidler are the parents of a very successful daughter in a career of sales where men dominate. We also had a mentally ill son of whom we are very proud. He was very much like Jason in the story. He championed other mentally ill patients in support groups.https://www.amazon.com/Fox-Bantam-Delos-Dale-Fidler/dp/166554340X/ref=sr_1_40?Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.x=0&Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.y=0&field-dateop=During&field-dateyear=2021&qid=1654715576&refinements=p_30:authorhouse&s=books&sr=1-40&unfiltered=1www.dfidlerbooks.comhttps://www.urlinkpublishing.com/serviceshttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/42023furl.mp3

We talk with Adam Alson, a third-generation grain farmer from Rensselaer. He holds an undergraduate economics degree from the University of Chicago and worked as a bond trader for Bank of America in New York City before returning home to run the family farm in 2011. In 2020, Adam and his wife, Carlee Tressel Alson, founded the nonprofit Appleseed Childhood Education to address the shortage of early childhood education programming and quality child care options in Jasper County, Indiana. Appleseed will open a 70-seat, high-quality early learning center in Rensselaer in 2022. Adam also serves on the advisory and finance committees of the Jasper Newton Foundation, and in his ample leisure time, he enjoys growing garden produce and cultivating a small orchard of 10 varieties of apples.

The charge against a former southwest Missouri teacher for having alleged sexual contact with a student has been dismissed because she and the student have married, prosecutors said. Baylee A. Turner, 26, was taken into custody in February 2019 with having sexual contact with a male student while she was in her first year of teaching English at Sarcoxie High School. Nate Dally, an assistant Jasper County prosecutor, said the charge was dismissed because the marriage means the former student can no longer be compelled to testify against Turner, which makes prosecuting the case difficult, The Joplin Globe reported.Turner has surrendered her state teaching license, which was the prosecutor's main concern, Dally said.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Tuesday, November 10. The sunny and warm weather the past week was nice while it lasted, but it's going to get colder and sometimes rainy the rest of this week. According to the National Weather Service, rain with a possibility of thunderstorms will arrive Tuesday morning in the Cedar Rapids area and continue off and on throughout the day. The high is predicted to be 53 degrees, but it may linger in the forties. In addition to being cool and wet, it will be breezy, with a 15 mph wind gusting as high as 25 mph. As COVID-19 sweeps throughout the nation, Iowa is no exception.  More than 1,000 Iowans are being treated for COVID-19 in hospitals across the state — the highest number recorded since the start of the pandemic. Iowa hospitals were treating 1,034 patients for the disease in the 24-period ending at 11 a.m. Monday, according to data from the Iowa Department of Public Health, Iowa also reported 4,055 new positive COVID-19 cases Monday. It is the fourth-highest 24-hour total recorded so far, and brings the state's total to 156,842. The four highest 24-hour totals recorded since the pandemic started have all been reported in November. The Iowa Department of Corrections announced that a 70-year-old inmate at the Anamosa State Penitentiary has died of COVID-19. The Anamosa prison is one of several correctional facilities in Iowa experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks, with 485 inmates and 50 prison staffers having tested positive for COVID-19 as of Monday. The Anamosa School District announced last week it was transitioning classes online in response to skyrocketing cases in the county. The Clear Creek Amana Community School District moved to virtual learning for all students Monday and Tuesday and is applying for a two week virtual learning waiver, and Excelsior Middle School in the Linn-Mar School District has also applied for a waiver. In both cases, the school districts reported having staffing shortages due to COVID-19 infections. Iowa's second U.S. Congressional District race is one of the closest elections in the nation, and that is why, a week after the election, the final result is still unclear. Initial results on election night had Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks up by 282 votes over Democrat Rita Hart. But after an adjustment correcting a tabulating error out of Jasper County, Hart overtook Miller-Meeks with a lead of 162 votes out of more than 393,700 cast. The lead changed slightly over the weekend to a 163-vote lead after the countywide recount.  The most recent numbers now have Hart leading by 152 votes out of 393,895 cast in the 24-county district, after additional absentee and provisional ballots were counted. By state law, Miller Meeks can request a recount at no charge to her because the margin of victory is a mere 0.04 percentage points. County election boards must complete the official canvass of votes in each count by the end of Tuesday. Campaigns then have three days after the canvass to request a recount.

Food, particularly plant-based produce, is anything cultivated for the purpose of consumption. Or perhaps the real definition is broader. For instance, what about foragable plants that grow randomly in nature? Today on #thedeliciousstory, we chat with wildlife biologist Karen Viste-Sparkman about this more ancient path to food. As a city dweller, I count on obtaining food from the grocery store and mostly think of what I eat as coming from an agrarian model. However, long before the agricultural system developed, and well before the Europeans landed on the continent, Native Americans tended to the land, grew crops, and often foraged from the earth for their sustenance. In Iowa, the land was mostly covered with tallgrass prairie. In this interview, Karen takes us on an audio tour of the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. There, we walk through prairie and oak savannah brought back much as it was hundreds of years ago. We also explore some of the plant life available for the picking, literally, to use for a dish at the table or for a hot drink. NEAL SMITH REFUGE AND THE FOUNDERKaren explains how the refuge began with 300 acres and grew to the 6,000 it encompasses today. In 1990, their goal was an ambitious one: to return the land to the condition it was before the settlers came and turned it into farms and towns. Remarkably, it all began with a change of opinion about nuclear energy, which thankfully left Iowa with one less power plant and the opportunity to enjoy an oasis instead. Located in Jasper County, near Prairie City, the park offers walking trails, an educational center, and a scenic drive through the refuge to see bison roaming the land. This was the vision of Neal Smith, a former American politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives for the Democratic Party for Iowa from 1959 until 1995. Prior to his service in the House, Smith was a WWII bomber pilot, an attorney, and lifelong advocate for the environment and projects that permit Iowans to connect with nature. Per an article in the Des Moines Register from March of 2020, Smith celebrated his 100th birthday this year and was supposed to be honored publicly for the positive legacy he has had on our state, but COVID-19 derailed the plan. Celebrations aside, we have Smith to thank for features such as the refuge that bring Iowans and visitors from outside the state to beautiful attractions. Smith is associated with several other venues as well. In addition to the refuge, there is the Neal Smith Trail, which starts in Des Moines and winds through the Saylorville Lake and Big Creek areas. There is a federal building in downtown Des Moines with his name, too, and he and his wife are behind the Neal and Bea Smith Law Center where they both earned degrees in law decades earlier. A LITTLE NATURE ON YOUR PLATEFor anyone who hunts or fishes, the idea of eating from the wild isn't strange at all. But somehow, at least to me, foraging for the unplanned bits of nuts, berries and other edibles seems more of a stretch. Other than morel mushrooms, I was less certain about the viability of this practice, although I've interviewed octogenarians through Storied Gifts who have mentioned dining on dandelion leaves for salads, and who also enjoy the sweetness of wild strawberries and rhubarb. It turns out that foraging is a practice many embrace, but as Karen points out, you MUST know what you are doing before you start grazing from the wild. A few resources that can help you explore the subject beyond this interview include:•Midwest Wild Edibles & Foragers Society•Edible Wild Plants•A Beginners Guide to Wild Edible Plants in the Grinnell AreaKaren detailed several plants that you might find worth eating, including sericea lespedeza, stinging nettles, and wild leeks. The article “Make the Most of Ramp and Morel Season,” over at the Des Moines Register offers up photos of the ramp, which is a popular leek found in the spring on the forest floors in the Midwest. Interestingly, several of the plants Karen mentioned, such as the sericea lespedeza and garlic mustard, are not native to Iowa. In fact, they are invasive plagues that take over wherever they root. These weeds are the bane to the existence of farmers and gardeners who lament their intrusiveness and struggle for ways to eradicate them. As much as it would be wonderful if we could help eat them away, the weeds have encroached unwanted for decades and continue to spread. If you have a hankering to forage, however, why not take out something that places like the Neal Smith Refuge are trying to keep clear of their prairies and oak savannas? If you google garlic mustard, for instance, you'll find a number of recipes for pesto, but I thought this one called Garlic Mustard Shoots with Ramp Butter by the Forager Chef looked particularly interesting. And yet, while foraging may be deep within our heritage and DNA, for those of us who prefer things we purchase under cellophane it is an adventure that could take some effort. CONNECT WITH NATUREWhether you have foraging in mind or not, in these cloistered times of the pandemic, any respite that brings us in touch with nature is welcome. As Karen details the flora and fauna available at Neal Smith, you can begin to relax into the notion of beautiful vistas dotted with oak trees and stretches of land covered in tallgrasses. So much of the time we look farther afield for ways to take a break and experience something unique, and thereby avoid those places that are nearby and available to everyone. Neal Smith is a way to not only commune with nature, but to do a bit of time travel and head into the past only 20 minutes out of Des Moines.
