For decades, this area has been a highly industrial one, with the banks of the river reflecting that. A cement channel was created in 1962 to prevent flooding. The buildings along the channel have been removed, and now the property sits behind a chain link fence. What is the plan for this area?

The dangers facing tow truck operators and the evolving strategies to protect them take center stage in this eye-opening episode of Towing News. We explore multiple tragic incidents, including a Kentucky case where a truck driver has been indicted for murder after allegedly watching YouTube videos before fatally striking tow operator Troy Caldwell. The driver now faces serious charges including evidence tampering and has a warrant out for his arrest after missing court appearances.Our coverage extends globally with news of a devastating Mother's Day accident in South Africa that claimed nine lives when a tow truck rear-ended a vehicle carrying church members. These incidents underscore the critical importance of attentive driving and the vulnerability of roadside workers.We also examine innovative enforcement approaches in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where authorities are tackling disruptive "X-Train" mobile parties through a new towing ordinance. This strategy allows police to immediately impound vehicles without court orders, imposing $300 fees on owners and creating a streamlined system for handling repeat offenders. The approach represents a significant shift from previous enforcement methods that often left officers outnumbered and unable to effectively disperse these gatherings.The consequences of impaired driving are highlighted through the sentencing of Jason Guerin to 4-12 years for a crash that severely injured both a state trooper and tow truck driver in Malta, New York. We also provide practical hazmat response guidance from expert Perry Beatty, covering essential equipment requirements for towing professionals responding to accidents involving hazardous materials. His emphasis on being "combat ready" offers valuable insight for industry professionals seeking to improve their emergency response capabilities.Listen now to understand the challenges facing the towing industry and the evolving strategies being implemented to protect workers and communities. Share your thoughts on these developments and let us know what safety measures you believe would most effectively protect roadside workers.

I had the absolute joy of talking with Dr. Dave Jones—and what a powerful conversation it was! He shared his personal journey from religion to deep Kingdom revelation, and how a divine encounter opened his eyes to the truth of who we really are in Christ.Dave carries a bold vision to see sons and daughters awakened to their true identity and walk in Kingdom authority—not someday, but now. We talked about leaving behind fear-based thinking, accessing the unseen realm, and living from the spirit as a daily reality.His story is full of heart, hunger, and Holy Spirit fire. Get ready to be stirred!BIO:Dave grew up in Western Pennsylvania and spent most of his early childhood and adult life in and out of hockey rinks around the world; playing in cities such as Ottawa, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids. His love and skill for hockey lead into a professional career in Europe playing in many countries including Luxemburg, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland and finally Germany.For over 13 years, Dave has worked NHL, NFL, Track and Field, and CrossFit athletes with their mental preparation, and hundreds of organizational leaders and executives around the world. Dave's personal vision is to unify excellence in the marketplace. He has founded 4 thriving companies in the Raleigh, North Carolina community. Dave Jones has B.S. in Management Studies from the University of Maryland, European Division.He also earned his Doctorate in Sport Psychology in 2024 after a long pursuit and determination. Dave is a sports consultant who coaches CEOs, executives, professional athletes to help achieve their vision, by executing and developing mental skills training, and enhancing thought blocking techniques.He works with organization leaders on their strategy, execution and communication, and managing the gaps between employees and management.As a thought leader and highly motivated individual, Dave engages executive teams by consulting on analytics, oversight of talent initiatives, and one-on-one coaching. He helps leaders improve the effectiveness of their organizations, by utilizing practices such as strategic planning, mental skills training, organizational assessment, and team interventions.Dave and his wife Laura currently reside in Raleigh, NC and have two young boys.HIGHLIGHTS:Slapshot to SalvationA literal slapshot to the face (yes, like broken-nose, nerve-damage kind of slapshot) became the divine wake-up call that pivoted Dave's life. Sometimes it really does take a hockey puck to the face to hear God clearly.Jesus Over HangoversAt 16, fresh off a state championship and a hangover, Dave had a holy interruption when his brother from Moody Bible Institute asked him if he wanted to keep living like that—or receive Jesus. Hungover or not, Dave said yes to Jesus.Grace-Fueled GritHe barely passed high school, but chased knowledge like a beast and just finished his PhD (hello, Dr. Dave!)—proving that being “not academic” doesn't disqualify you when God's the one writing your story.Marketing Ministry that Moves MountainsDave has been running M is Good for 24 years, managing $1.6 million a month in ad spend for 38 Christian orgs globally. It's not just marketing; it's ministry with strategy and Holy Spirit-led messaging.Turtle on a Fence Post WisdomHis favorite analogy: if you see a turtle on a fence post, you know it didn't get there by itself. That's how he sees his journey—with God as the one lifting him higher than he could ever climb on his own.God doesn't always pick the obvious candidates—so relax.Dr. Dave reminds us that God tends to use the least expected people to do powerful things. You don't have to be a marketing guru to start a Christian marketing business (he sure wasn't)—you just have to say yes and be willing to figure things out as you go.Confidence isn't always spiritual—it can come from just doing what you love.Confidence doesn't have to float down from heaven on a cloud. Sometimes it's built in the trenches—or on the ice rink. Dr. Dave leaned on the grit and resilience he learned from sports to push through early business doubts and roadblocks.Ask the hard question: “Am I usable?”While soaking in a worship song about being used by God, Dr. Dave had a wake-up moment. He asked himself if he was actually in a place where God could use him. That led to some personal soul-searching and change. A humbling reminder that being “called” doesn't mean skipping character work.Don't over-spiritualize—just listen, think, and align.Dave's not the type to claim burning bush moments. Instead, he hears from God through alone time, journaling, and reading Scripture. His method? Follow peace, check the fruit, and if it's not hurting anyone (including himself), take a step forward and see if things line up.What knocks you down doesn't define you.That slapshot to the face (literal blood and trauma) taught him a deep truth: Painful events don't get to label you. Whether it's a business failure or personal screw-up, it's just a moment—not your identity. Shake it off, reset, and remember who you are.“If you don't like who you are, you can change it” — and Dave did!One simple statement from a mentor changed everything for Dave. He turned off the TV for two years, devoured 30 books, and jumpstarted a whole new trajectory for his life. Bookworm phase = Destiny shiftThose two years of focused reading didn't just upgrade his mindset—they altered his impact. Talk about a ripple effect! Sometimes the quiet seasons with a stack of books are what set you up for legacy-level impact.Divine ambush in GermanyOn what was supposed to be just a business trip, Dave gets singled out by an apostle at church, receives a powerful word, hits the floor, and has a Holy Spirit encounter that shakes him to his core. Not your average business travel story.The birth of “R7” from a spiritual downloadThat prophetic moment planted a seed that grew into his full-blown life and business framework: R7. It came through soaking, wrestling, believing—and waiting. God even sent mentors for each piece of it, for free. That's what we call Kingdom provision.He didn't shelve the word—he stewarded itEven though he didn't act right away, Dave didn't dismiss or forget the word he got in Germany. He sat with it, prayed about it, and waited on God's timing. That's a masterclass in how to honor a word from the Lord without rushing it.LINKS for DR.

In this episode of Mind Yo' Life, we welcome Steve Versaw—musician, songwriter, venue manager, and the current Executive Director of Bloomington's iconic Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Before taking the reins at BCT, Steve was keeping time and writing tunes with the beloved indie-rock band The M's. Known for their warm, gritty sound and infectious energy, The M's became a staple of the Chicago music scene in the early 2000s. Steve co-wrote and performed on fan favorites like “Plan of the Man” and “Shawnee Dupree,” tracks that still hold up as alt-rock gems. Raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and a proud Western Michigan University alum, Steve's journey has taken him through the creative pockets of Portland, the hustle of Chicago, and now to the cultural heartbeat of Bloomington. Along the way, he's built a life steeped in rhythm, collaboration, and community impact. In this episode, we talk about music, management, and Midwest roots. Steve reflects on his touring days, his shift into arts leadership, and how he's helping shape the next chapter for one of Indiana's most historic theaters. And just to keep him honest—we put him through the Steve Versaw Quiz to find out if he really knows the man behind the mic. Spoiler alert: it gets fun.

In this listener-fueled fever dream: One listener's imaginary friend—Bimble, the caped, spoon-draped chalk connoisseur—appears in someone else's childhood, uninvited and possibly still out there. A surgical nurse from Kalamazoo fact-checks a historical deep dive and dishes on a defunct statue that looked like it belonged in a museum labeled “Regret.” A cat becomes a Latin-hating oracle, an ER trip turns mildly conspiratorial, and Albania is revealed to be bunker-rich and surprisingly scenic. Also: haunted urn gymnastics, ritual birthmarks, a cheese grater mishap, armadillo teleportation, and a touching reminder that kindness still matters—even when your neighbor might be a Siberian shaman.

The Detroit Red Wings are officially out of playoff contention for the 9th straight season. Tune in as we discuss the postseason drought in Hockeytown, reactions to another year of disappointment as Todd McLellan, Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider, and Steve Yzerman continue to look for answers and what those may be (defenseman so Simon Edvinsson can move up? Forward to help the top 6?) (4:20). After a quick overview of the Red Wings' most recent games (including Alex DeBrincat, Patrick Kane, Marco Kasper, and other producing), we discuss the Detroit Red Wings NHL Draft Lottery standings, as well as whether Marco Kasper can be Hockeytown's 2nd line center of the future behind Dylan Larkin (and potentially alongside Nate Danielson) (21:30). After that, we take a look at Axel Sandin Pellikka and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard making their way to Michigan from Sweden as they'll join Sebastian Cossa, Amadeus Lombardi, Emmitt Finnie, Anton Johansson, and the Grand Rapids Griffins as they gear up for a Calder Cup Playoff run in the AHL (34:50). Also, the Western Michigan Broncos win their 1st ever NCAA National Championship, taking down BU as Kalamazoo celebrates (43:25). Next, our Roger McQueen 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile: how talented is he, what's the risk to picking him, how is he like Cayden Lindstrom, and should Steve Yzerman target the skilled center?
