A judge's sentence of five month's probation in the high-profile case of a former cop who opened fire at a Halloween trunk-or-treat is an example of the challenges judges face every day. “Doing sentencing is the most difficult thing I think that trial judges do,” says former Judge Nannette Baker, who discussed the case on this month's Legal Roundtable.

The 168th episode of Tangazo - a Podcast from KDHX, was something very special that caused me to think long and hard before making this post. The easiest part of the show was the first 30 minutes spent with St.Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell, who showed some fatigue from his 24/7 campaign, for the Democratic nomination for Congress, representing the 1st Congressional District of Missouri, on the August 6th Democratic ballot ----- We talked about the fact that both candidates, he and the incumbent were funded millions of dollars by outside groups. ------ We both agreed that's it's a false narrative, for black voters especially in the 1st Congressional District that boasts the highest crime rate in the state, where half of the worst schools in Missouri,are found in St. Louis City and County and that the 1st District, has one of the highest poverty levels in the state of Missouri. ------ We agreed that because of the importance of addressing those critical issues,his priorities should be improving the quality of life, in the 1st Congressional District and that's what black voters should be most concerned with, when casting their ballot in August 6th primary elections. ----- There is a well known adage that says “all politics are local”, meaning you vote for your best interests,for you and your family and your Community. That's just common sense and has absolutely nothing to do with who is funding a campaign. ------- Before we go any further I think it's important for you to know, incumbent Congresswoman Cori Bush, has been invited to be a guest on Tangazo, throughout her 2 terms in the US Congress, as she was invited for this pre election special episode.----- Although there is no requirement from the FCC to offer candidates equal time, it has always been my policy to provide airtime to serious candidates for public office,whether I agree with their positions on issues or not! Former State Senator Maria Chappelle, also a candidate for that seat in Congress, was invited and responded by coming in to kdhx to share her thoughts, on why she was running against incumbent Congresswoman Bush. Needless to say Congresswoman Bush has shown absolutely no interest whatsoever, in appearing on the show. They went from acknowledging receiving my email request, to just ignoring them and me too. ----- All we can do is ask, I might add that Cori Bush the candidate, did drive 25 miles to the SIUE Edwardsville campus, to be a guest on our Voices program. But since being elected, absolutely nothing. County prosecutor Bell, has been just the opposite since his election, as the first black St. Louis County Prosecutor. He has made himself available to discuss issues of concern to the African American community, virtually every time that I requested, either by phone or in person, when possible. ------- Next we are joined by metro East Attorney,  Marlena Suarez and her client Keanna Miller, mother of 4 years old son Terrell Miller,who was shot and killed, by a policeman responding to a domestic dispute in her home in MaComb Illinois. This is a compelling story that might move you to tears, as told by the mother who describes how this tragic incident occurred in graphic detail. ------ We conclude this two hour episode with a 30 minute discussion on the  August 6 primary election, with political consultant and Tangazo commentator, Tim Person and activist attorney Jerryl Christmas, also a frequent Tangazo Commentator. The conversation was candid and passionate, as we discussed who would serve the needs of black voters and union workers in the U S Congress, representing the 1st Congressional District in Missouri. -------

Tangazo - a Podcast from KDHX, episode 167 covers a lot of ground while taking a look at Vice President Kamala Harris and her chance to make more history by winning the November presidential election. ——  The 1pm discussion was especially invigorating, with Tangazo commentators Michael Wesley Jones, of the StLouis American Newspaper, political consultant Tim Person and old friend Kyria Virshelle, who's energy and enthusiasm for VP Kamala Harris's ascension to the top of Democratic ticket, with the  chance to become the first woman, President of the United States. Tangazo.kdhx.org  Former Tallahassee Mayor Dorothy Inman-Johnson, was also bubbling with excitement and confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris, was the right choice to defeat former President Donald J Trump, in November. ----- Throw in a couple of comments from listeners and the second hour was a fast paced, in-depth, continuation of the excitement created by President Biden's decision, to pass the torch to his VP Kamala Harris, by withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election. —— In the first hour we focused on the Israeli war with Hamas, from a local Jewish perspective, with former ADL StLouis Chapter President Howard Loiterstein and Stuart Clayman, a leader in the StLouis and Missouri, Jewish community. Clayman is a longtime volunteer for the StLouis City Academy and has recently returned from a month long visit in Israel, where he tutored young Jewish refugees in math. ———- We also discussed the Jewish community's support for StLouis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell's bid to unseat, first district Congresswoman Cori Bush, who has alienated the Jewish community, by her continued attacks on Israel and support for Palestinians. Also  her unwillingness to meet with Jewish community leaders, to discuss their concerns has the Jewish community committed to replacing her, with Bell. —— Comments from our listeners also contributed to this discussion. Tangazo episode 167, has something for everyone, whether you agree or disagree with points of these discussions, you will enjoy hearing this show. ——

Episode 164, was dedicated to John Christmas, and all the victims of the senseless violence, that continues to plague the St.Louis metro area. -----   John Christmas 51, a graduate of Alabama A&M was shot and killed last week, at a gas station on North Kings highway, in St. Louis city. He was the younger brother of Tangazo - a Podcast from KDHX commentator, social justice activist attorney, Jerryl Christmas. -----   James Clark, VP of Public Safety for the Urban League and social justice activist Reverend Darryl Gregory Gray, joined us in studio to talk with Jerryl about the circumstances related to his brother John's death and the relationship between crime and Arab owned gas stations, in predominantly black communities. Which are all too often associated with incidents of violence in black neighborhoods! -----   In the second hour we focus on upcoming Juneteenth events Robert Green, sponsor of 3rd annual Free-Dome event, which takes place on Wednesday June 19th. at Lois Conley's Black Wax Museum Griot, 2505 StLouis avenue. We conclude with realtor ------   Andreal Hoosman, who originated the Ferguson Juneteenth celebration, which will take place Saturday June 15th in the Ferguson Business District. ----

This 161st episode of Tangazo - a Podcast from KDHX, will have something for everyone, with social, political and cultural matters being discussed. ------   Social Justice activist Reverend Darryl Gregory Gray, along with Dr. Jazmine Nolan-Echols PhD, former Chairman of the StLouis Charter Commission, join me in the 1st hour for an insightful, informative and compelling discussion, on the cities efforts to further streamline city government. -----   Ron Himes, founder of our magnificent StLouis Black Repertory Theater Company was on hand to talk about the Blk Repertory's new production of Timbuktu, debuting last evening at the Edison Theater on the Washington University campus. -----     We were privileged to be there for opening night to witness another spectacular performance by the StLouis The St. Louis Black Repertory Company. ------   Timbuktu is a dazzling play, a musical drama that we thoroughly enjoyed along with our guest, Sheila Reed, of St.Louis Public radio and former State Representative, James Whitmore. Andreal Hoosman and Nicole Adewale along with hubby Abe Adewale, Clement and Marsha Cann, were just a few of the many friends, I spotted enjoying opening night of TIMBUKTU! Book by Luther Davis, music and lyrics by Robert Wright , at the Edison Theater at Washington University. ----- 

To champion grassland soil health in Missouri, where conventional grazing practice is practically enshrined in state law, Amy Hamilton's family enterprise has dug in as deep as roots of the native plant species whose seeds they sell.      Hamilton Native Outpost has been led since 1981 by Amy and her husband Rex. They are passionate, expert advocates for the Diverse Native Grassland species and practices that sustained human to microbial communities across the vast mid-continent region for centuries. They support native landscaping in general, though this Earthworms conversation is focused on their grazing-grassland work.       Plenty of color blazes through this tale, from vibrant summer-prairie blooms to seed mix names (Wildlife Chuckwagon, Firebreak, Buck's Hangout) to commentary on what it takes to change grazing practices and minds, even with bushels of data-backed experience ("Double the hay with none of the fertilizer using native warm season grasses!").  The 60-page Hamilton Native Outpost catalogue is packed with clear, specific guidance to upgrade land management with native plants. Their website is a storehouse of articles and videos ("This Savannah restoration paid for itself" "Healing a small stream with native plants"). Novel research the works, like deploying grazing bison for weed control, demonstrates this team's constant learning commitments. And their rural Sho-Me State site hosts Pasture Walks and other events so soil health wannabes and skeptics can see Outpost successes for themselves. You've heard about native plant benefits plenty of times in Earthworms interviews. This one steps a new hoof forward. THANKS to Sasha Hay, Earthworms audio engineer, and KDHX production stalwart, Jon Valley - and to Ed Spevak of the Saint Louis Zoo for introduction to Amy Hamilton.

Activist Attorney Jerryl Christmas joins Tangazo host Hank Thompson, with Immigration Attorney Squarez in the first hour of this episode of the Kdhx live podcast Tangazo. Attorney Squarez delivers a thorough and robust discussion on the plight of Hispanics and Latino immigrants in the StLouis Metro area.    The second hour of this episode of Tangazo Thursdays presents a lively discussion on rising Teen Violence in the streets and schools in St Louis County.  This conversation is led by retired journalist Linda Lockhart with special guest, StLouis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell.  With commentary from North County business woman Tonya Rush and Carolyn Seward, Founder and Executive Director of the Family and WorkForce Centers of America!

  With the upcoming elections, April, August and November elections, KDHX's TANGAZO wanted to introduce to our listeners the people who are responsible for collecting, protecting and getting the votes out in our region, the Republican and Democratic Directors of the St. Louis County Board of Elections, Mr. Rick Stream, and the Democratic Director, Mr. Ben Borgmeyer, of the St. Louis City Board of Elections.  St. Louis City and County represent over 20% of all voters and votes cast in the State of Missouri, in statewide elections, or actually slightly more than 1 out of 5 votes.  Given the importance and weight that this region carries, we thought that having the two persons who are responsible for seeing to it that each and every vote is counted should visit and explain to our listeners how the process really works, how they protect access to the polls and how the voting process has changed in recent years.  The Honorable Rick Stream has committed his entire adult life to public service by serving in the United States Navy, being elected to a local school board, serving as a Missouri State Representative, barely losing his race as County Executive (by less than 1%) and is now serving as St. Louis County's Republican Director.  Mr. Ben Borgmeyer, Esq., is an attorney who was is private practice and now serves as the Democratic Director of the St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners.  Both are very well respected professionals and provided an incredible amount of insight into how they discharge their duties and how their respective election boards work to make our votes safe and counted.  We also discussed the national controversies about counting votes, when votes are counted and why Missouri has avoided the pitfalls and delay results that has created angst in other states.  This was a wonderfully informative show.     

This episode of the KDHX podcast Tangazo celebrates the life and legacy Of Civil Rights activist,political satirist and comic, St. Louis native Dick Gregory.... With Dr. Ron Gregory, veteran broadcaster Bernie Hays and former KTVI news anchor Sheila Banks. The second hour guest is embattled KDHX General Manager Kelly Wells answering questions via email.

The October 7th, Hamas surprise terrorist attack on Israel and the subsequent bombing of Gaza, in retaliation for the murder of twelve to thirteen hundred innocent men, women and children, mostly Israeli civilians followed by acts of barbarism and the kidnapping of close to two hundred and forty hostages.

When I refer to my Tangazo guests as an “all star panel” it's not hyperbole, it's a fact. ----   It was never more true, as you will certainly understand from the 143rd episode, of the KDHX podcast Tangazo. -----   Dr Robert Lawrence Salter PhD aka Scotty Lawrence, joined me in the KDHX studio to talk about his newly released Christmas album titled, “ Scotty This Christmas.” -----    Robert shares his story of how a frightening experience with prostate cancer led him to becoming a music producer and singer of spiritual music, this is his second album. -----   Scotty is a devout 7 Day Adventist, a businessman with a Master's in Hospital Administration and a PhD, in Education Administration. ------   In 1984 Robert and I along with graphic designer Al Hillman, started a PR company called Gemini Productions,Bob owned a recording studio on Olive street. -----    We brokered time on radio station Wmry, a jazz station in Bellville Illinois and produced a 3 hour radio magazine called “Saturday Morning Live with Salter and Thompson.” -----   We produced radios spots for virtually every elected official running for city wide office, we also produced radio campaigns for StLouis Public Schools bond issues and numerous commercial entities such as Dave Harper's County Ford and Ken Sewell's, King Dodge , Joes Clothing and Lithos Art Gallery. ------   In 1987 Bob Salter and I organized a community effort to restore Montgomery Hyde Parks community radio station KBDY 89.9 to the airwaves, which we moved to the Olive Street location. -----   We were recognized by a Post Dispatch editorial, for bringing together a diverse group of talented people,to not only help restore the radio station to the airwaves but also to staff it with black leaders, such as the late iconic pediatrician Dr. Helen Nash. ------   Gregory Freeman and Harry Jackson of the Post Dispatch, Betty Kerr founder of Peoples Health Centers and Dr Ron Stodghill, Superintendent of the Wellston School District and the late Michelle Lowry, director of the StLouis public schools, Role Model initiative. ------   Attorney Elaine Harris Spearman, hosted law Talk, Dr. Malaika Horne, hosted a weekly program called, Just The Facts, a show focused on alcohol and substance abuse, that show was sponsored by Kmox.    The bedrock of KBDY on air announcers, was the personable talented  Sheila Reed, along with the incomparable, former KSD news anchor Diane White, who hosted a daily morning show. Better Family Life matriarch DeBorah Ahmed, did a show called Cultural Expressions.------   We were supported by Union Sarah CEO, Nesbie Moore, a great transformational visionary leader. -----   Also Robert Hyland, the iconic General Manager of Kmox provided funding and equipment, he sent his program director Bob Osborne,to assess our needs along with a kmox engineer.  The VP Fair also sponsored KBDY programing at the direction of its Executive Director, Chuck Wallace. -----   We can't forget our Jazz announcers such as Archie Johnson, with  his Jazz under the Arch, Melvin Bell and our station engineer Amos McClure, all had straight ahead Jazz shows on KBDY 89.9 on your fm dial!    St.Louis native William Stanford Davis, is an American actor best known for his role as school custodian Mr Johnson, on the ABC hit sitcom,”Abbot Elementary” for which he won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 54th NAACP Image Awards. -----   Abbot Elementary has won Emmy and Golden Globe Awards, with Quinta Brunson, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tyler James Williams, who starred in the long running hit sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris. -----   William Stanford Davis, a StLouis native, from the Ville neighborhood, who attended Northwest High School, landed his role on Abbot Elementary at 70 years of age. ------   He talks about his journey in Hollywood that began some 40 years ago with his determination to become an actor.  Mr. Davis, speaks passionately about working a variety of  low wage jobs, including doing stand up comedy, while pursuing his dream of an acting career and his determination to never give up.  -----   He is close friends with Black Repertory actor  Erik Kilpatrick, he also fondly remembered the late StLouis stand up comedians,Rodney Winfield and Rahn Ramey. -----   The theme of this show has to be, perseverance and having the determination to pursue and achieve your goals, no matter your age. -----    As I said in my intro, this is indeed an All Star panel of guest and your going to enjoy it. -----     

St. Louis City 2nd ward Alderman Tom Oldenburg, was our guest for last evening's recording of the KDHX podcast Tangazo. -----   Tom, describes himself as a St. Louis enthusiast and booster for the city, he was first elected to the board alderman in 2017, to the then 16th ward, before ward reduction. ------   Tangazo commentators, Michael Wesley Jones of the StLouis American newspaper, retired journalist LS Lockhart and St.Louis activist attorney Jerryl Christmas, joined me for a spirited insightful discussion with Alderman Oldenburg, on several key city issues. ------   Our conversation began with a detailed discussion on Oldenburg's resolution condemning the October 7th, Hamas surprise terrorist attack on Israel,  resulting in the death of close to 14 hundred civilians, mostly Israelis including women and children. The attack was followed by acts of barbarism and the kidnapping of some two hundred plus hostages. -------   Oldenburg's resolution was originally scheduled to be read at the previous week's meeting, of the board of aldermen but was delayed at the request of board president Dr.  Megan-Ellyia Green. ------   Tom says his resolution was almost identical to those passed by the StLouis County Council and by 396 members,of the US Congress. His attempt to introduce his resolution was met by loud protests,  disrupting the board meeting, as security was forced to remove the protesters. ------     Oldenburg suggests that the disruptions might have been planned to delay the presentation of his resolution, while a another was being prepared, by alderman Shane Cohn, with the support board of aldermen, President Green.  ------   We also talk about the homeless situation in StLouis city, which the city seems to have no real solution for. -----   Oldenburg says that 6th ward Alderwoman Alisha Sonnier's bill, supported by board President Green, but opposed by Mayor  Jones has little to no support on the StLouis Board of Aldermen. ------   2nd ward Alderman Tom Oldenburg, says that he's  finding himself becoming more and more aligned with St. Louis Mayor, Tishaura O. Jones. -------            

Many of the nonprofit station's listeners are missing several former on-air voices following long-running disputes with management.

Marjie Kennedy replied to the Celtic Music Magazine feedback request: "I wanted to let you know that on March 17th I will be at the Hibernian parade in the Dogtown neighborhood of St. Louis Missouri.  St. Louis has two parades each year because the Dogtown one is on March 17 every year, and the downtown St. Louis one is always the Saturday before St. Patrick's Day (unless the 17th falls on a Saturday, in which case I think they end up both being the same day). I will listen to your podcasts either before or after those festivities. And this past Sunday, March 12, I celebrated by including some Celtic music and other Irish tunes on the radio program that I host on KDHX.org called Lotsa A Cappella. Thanks for all you do for Celtic music!" Tera Bochik replied: "I'm usually driving around doing my patrol rounds as a security guard. Unfortunately I have to work on St. Patrick's day. (Missing the First Annual 20th World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day parade in Hot Springs, AR.) I celebrate by listening and sharing about the podcast to anyone who asks what I'm listening to." Von Rothenberger replied from Lucas, Kansas: "Happy Birthday! Erin Go Braugh! Thank you for all that you do." Rick Cunningham of Boxing Robin replied: "Hello Marc, Many thanks for including Boxing Robin on Vol 2 of the St. Patrick's Day podcast! Have fun at the gig tonight -  we're playing 80 miles away but at least it's a fairly early gig! All the best. Tom McHugh sent a photo: "Hello Marc, One of the things I like to do while listening is make pens. The first picture is a Celtic - themed ballpoint pen I recently completed. The second picture is what two pens I recently made looked like while they were still on the lathe at our local makerspace. Thanks for making the podcast! I've very must enjoyed listening to all the new music!"  

StLouis Board of Aldermen President, Dr. Megan-Ellyia Green, joined Tangazo host Hank Thompson and LS Lockhart, retired journalist and Tangazo commentator,for an important discussion on issues involving the homeless and public safety. ——— President Green, offered no real explanation as to why city officials seemingly waited until the eve of a visit,by Vice President Kamala Harris and those attending the Democratic National Committee's Fall meeting ,to remove the dozens of people who had camped out on the lawn of city hall. ------ A decision that Dr. Green disagreed with, “ I'm not here to rubber stamp Mayor Tishaura Jones decisions.” ------ Our discussion included public safety concerns such as staffing the St.Louis Police department. President Green does not see an urgent need to hire more policemen as the answer to reducing crime. ------ We discussed the city's plans for returning to red light cameras as a method to curb reckless driving and unregistered vehicles that continues to plague St.Louis. ----- Another important concern for the African American community, is the interference of Progressives in the elections of their representatives on the board of Aldermen, by bank rolling candidates that support the progressive agenda against incumbent north side Alderpersons.------ Ours is a critical discussion on serious matters facing the city of StLouis, you don't want to miss this episode of the KDHX podcast. ------

It was a star studded panel that we assembled for last evening's taping of the KDHX podcast Tangazo. ------ Judith Arnold, an urban planner joined panelist Joe Hanrahan, artistic director and co founder of the Midnight Theatrical Company, along with Brian McKinley, former actor and educator now serving as Director of Education and Community Engagement , for the much celebrated  StLouis Black Repertory Theatre Company. ------ Eric Dundon, Director of Public Relations for the world renowned StLouis Symphony and popular local entertainer Laka Pronounced Lay-ka, rounded out an excellent panel.  Our discussion focused on the important role our arts and cultural institutions play in the effort to make StLouis a “World Class City.” A CNN poll ranking the top 20 midsize cities in the US, finds Kansas City ranked 10th, while StLouis went unranked, although it features many of the same lifestyle attractions, as the cities that were ranked. ------ Inclusiveness was the issue we focused on,  while acknowledging governance as being one of the main reasons ,that StLouis is not viewed, as a top tier city.  Urban planner Judith Arnold, lays a foundation for our conversation,she has been working with groups creating Greenways,  through out the city, with the goal of revitalizing declining neighborhoods and changing the dynamics of the” Delmar Divide”. ------

In the 1950's and1960's the US Government sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide From the roofs of the Pruitt-Igo housing projects. They admit it now that those responsible are dead. When government is ran by incompetents and treats their citizens like this, it's no wonder why conspiracy theories run rampant. Did you "give your tooth to science back in the 60's? This is what they were looking for.

The unfolding controversy at KDHX on September 22 when the station fired 10 volunteer DJs. To understand what led to mass firings, how the beloved station got to this point, and the response from its fans and supporters, STLPR reporter Jeremy Goodwin shares insights from his recent coverage of the issue. Former KDHX DJ Ital K, who resigned from his show in solidarity on September 23, reveals what it's like for longtime volunteers and supporters now watching the controversy unfold.

Management has parted ways with several volunteer DJs. Others have quit in protest. They say leaders are creating a vision for the radio station that does not serve the community.

St. Louis journalist Don Corrigan storms the American Popular Culture Association with his books exploring way more than journalistic topics - like ROAD KILL.             Corrigan's book American Roadkill: Animal Victims of our Busy Highways  is in the great animal rights tradition of Joseph Grinnell of the 1920s, who was alarmed at the animal carnage on America's new highways. Corrigan tells the squashed sad tales, and shares some positives: • The Saint Louis Zoo enlisting “citizen scientists” to identify high casualty frog and turtle crossings. • St. Louis Kinship Circle raising awareness of road accidents with pets and how to avoid such heartbreaking meet-ups with cars. • Sierra Clubs of the southeast, championing endangered pumas. • Possum Pouch Pickers, down south, rescuing baby possums from marsupial mothers mashed on roadways. Don Corrigan is Editor Emeritus of the Webster-Kirkwood Times, a weekly newspaper for St. Louis suburban communities.

Tonight's episode of the Kdhx podcast Tangazo, looked at the UAW strike and it's potential impact on future labor relations and workers in general. -----   We looked at the salary disparity,  between workers and executives and the impact of possibly having over 145 thousand auto workers on strike, could have on this country. ----- Retired journalist LS Lockhart, social justice activist Attorney Jerryl Christmas and StLouis American Senior Editorial columnist, Michael Wesley Jones, were my guest commentators, for a spirited discussion on the auto workers strike and the resurgence of Covid.-----   We asked questions, about what our government's response to a new outbreak of Covid, might be and how people who refused available vaccines during the pandemic, were more likely to not take a new vaccine, to prevent catching the disease, this time around. ------ This is a very interesting and informative discussion on serious issues that will no doubt impact us all. ------

This episode of the Tangazo Podcast from KDHX, pays tribute to Oval Miller Sr, founder and long time CEO of Basic, “Black Alcohol/drug information services agency,” which has served as one of StLouis's premier treatment providers, for 40 plus years. ------ Michael Batchman, has been with Basic, for over 36 years as a Clinical Supervisor, he joined me in studio, for this discussion on substance abuse  programs, available for the African American community and how Basic has incorporated black culture,into its treatment strategies. ----- We're also joined by Dr. Mary Norwood PhD, founder of “Senior Solutions Third Generation,” her  focus is on senior citizens who suffer from substance abuse issues. ----- We recalled the mass drug overdose tragedy in the winter of 2022, the worst in StLouis's history, that resulted in 8 deaths all African Americans, living in city managed senior citizens apartments, on Forest Park Blvd in the central west end. ------  Ours is a very serious necessary conversation with information, that you might find useful when dealing with a family member are friend , dealing with alcohol are drug abuse issues. ------

The wild world of Milkweed plants is populated by aphids who suck the plant's life, beetles who suck the aphids dry, ant lion babies who will eat each other - and sometimes the Monarch butterflies whose caterpillars gotta eat Milkweed or starve.          APHIDS!

This episode of the Kdhx podcast Tangazo features StLouis County Prosecutor, Wesley Bell, a candidate for the Democratic nomination, for the US Senate. ------- Tangazo commentator, Michael Wesley Jones, Senior Editorial Columnist for the StLouis American newspaper, is your host for this special episode. ------ Jones draws upon his forty plus years of political experience, of StLouis City and County governess.  -----  Mike discusses several points, on Bells current and past prosecutorial decisions and events, that led him to believe that he is indeed, best suited to defeat incumbent Republican Senator, Josh Hawly. ------  

"Aside from all that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the Play?" In his new book I Want a Better Catastrophe, lifelong activist Andrew Boyd navigates the Climate Crisis with grief, hope and gallows humor. Earthworms host Jean Ponzi chimes in (leaving Boyd the best lines, as a gracious host would do).        Boyd's leadership of the global CLIMATE CLOCK campaign blended art, science and grassroots organizing. His writings ask eight diverse climate thinkers "Is it really the end of the world? If so, now what?" From his own broken-open heart, he walks with our climate angst toward living with climate reality - and staying open-hearted.  Related Earthworms Conversations: Midwest Climate Collaborative with Heather Navarro (May 2022)  Diversifying Power: Jennie C.

As flowers bloom, bees rev up their pollinating rounds, and a host of Community Scientists are helping local pros explore key bee-health questions: what promotes bee diversity and bee-plant interactions in residential and community gardens?                 This is Shutterbee! Backyard bee photography to improve conservation practices. Nina Fogel, Ph.D. co-leads this multi-year project from the Billiken Bee Lab at Saint Louis University with founder and Webster U professor Dr. Nicole Miller-Struttmann, and a team of fellow academics, students and community partners.                   Shutterbee is a "standardized survey." Volunteers observe strict protocols - as they strive to photograph bees on the move! Participants commit to taking their smartphone in the same hours on the same day of every month for the same walk around their gardens, and uploading photos of bees they observe into the Shutterbee project on the app iNaturalist. Project leaders identify bees and plants in these photos to evaluate how bees behave in urban, suburban, and rural environments. Next time you're out in your yard, try it. Happily - and essentially - training is provided. Shutterbee enrollment is filled for 2023, but you can tap into studying bees using the project's vivid resources, pollinator info and bee identification guides.   Congratulations Nina! Achieving her Doctorate this spring with her study of the patterns of bee diversity in home gardens enrolled in Bring Conservation Home, the native plant program of St. Louis Audubon - and for finding, through her work in 2022, a native bee so rare it had only been documented once before in Missouri.
