Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Todd Scott, Preservation Architect and Planner with King County. In a BONUS EPISODE conversation earlier this year with Todd Scott (about the Masonic Home in Des Moines, Washington) he spoke briefly about rising property values creating additional historic preservation challenges in a few specific communities in King County – and plans were made to circle back and go a little deeper on the topic. One particular area where Todd Scott has noticed this trend is on the east side of Lake Washington in a few specific neighborhoods in the City of Kirkland.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of November 21st Publish Date: November 21st Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, November 21st and Happy Birthday to Stan The Man Musial I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Greater Church giving away free turkeys and groceries Sunday Woodstock joins Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: STRAND THEATRE STORY 1: Greater Church giving away free turkeys and groceries Sunday Greater Church is spreading some holiday cheer this Sunday with a giveaway of 300 turkeys and grocery bags. The event, part of their annual Friendsgiving, kicks off after the 11:15 a.m. service at 5744 Bells Ferry Road. While attending the service isn’t required, it guarantees you’ll snag a turkey and groceries—one per family, first come, first served. No ID needed, just show up and register onsite for food bank records. Supplies are limited, so don’t wait too long! Greater Church also runs a food pantry on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. For details, visit www.greater.church/FRIENDSGIVING. STORY 2: Woodstock joins Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority Woodstock has officially joined the Cherokee Regional Land Bank Authority, following a unanimous vote by the city council on Nov. 17. A land bank, for those unfamiliar, is a tool to redevelop abandoned or blighted properties—no eminent domain involved. It can accept property donations, acquire land, and work with nonprofits or private groups to create affordable housing or boost economic development. Cherokee County and Canton formed the authority in August, and now Woodstock is on board. Holly Springs is still considering joining, with a decision expected next month. The land bank’s board includes representatives from each member jurisdiction, plus appointees from the Cherokee Office of Economic Development and at-large members. Woodstock will appoint its representative in December. Board meetings will be public, and jurisdictions will get advance notice of any property acquisitions. STORY 3: Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Georgia lawmakers are seriously talking about ditching the state income tax—$16 billion worth of revenue—and replacing it by slashing $30 billion in tax credits and exemptions. Bold move, right? “It’s not if, it’s when,” said Sen. Blake Tillery, who’s leading the charge. “This is about staying competitive.” Supporters like economist Arthur Laffer called income taxes “growth killers” and praised states like Tennessee for ditching them. But critics, like Sen. Nan Orrock, warned that sales taxes—often the fallback—hit low-income folks and retirees hardest. The debate? Far from over. Stay tuned. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 4: Warriors withstand late rally, knock off Knights Even with a few key players sidelined, Cherokee stayed unbeaten Tuesday night, grinding out a 65-46 win over River Ridge. But don’t let the final score fool you—this one got tight late. Cherokee (2-0), missing standout forward Sean Hamilton, saw a 20-point fourth-quarter lead shrink to 10 with just over two minutes left. But the Warriors clamped down defensively, holding River Ridge to one basket the rest of the way. “We started strong, but we’ve got to play a full game,” said Cherokee coach Joe Veihman. “We got sloppy in the second half—missed chances, gave them open looks. Still, we’re learning.” River Ridge (1-1), led by new coach LeRonnice Davis, showed fight despite the loss. “The little things killed us—rebounds, free throws, turnovers,” Davis said. “But we battled. These games will make us better.” Braylon Luster poured in 30 points for Cherokee, while Brandon Flint led River Ridge with 27, including six threes. Next up: Cherokee heads to Creekview and River Ridge visits Etowah. STORY 5: 2 sentenced for 3-hour Cherokee County armed SWAT standoff Two men are headed to prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a tense, hours-long armed standoff with law enforcement in Ball Ground back in 2021. Jeffrey Leighton Danner, 35, of Alabama, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to multiple charges, including aggravated assault on officers. He was sentenced to 50 years, with 20 behind bars. Kaleb Hunter Kirkland, 27, also from Alabama, pleaded guilty earlier this year and received the same sentence—though he’ll serve 25 years in confinement. It all started on Feb. 28, 2021, when police spotted a vehicle tied to violent crimes in Alabama. A chase ensued, ending in the woods. Shots were fired at officers (thankfully, no injuries), and SWAT was called in. Kirkland, armed with a rifle, was shot after ignoring commands, while Danner was arrested without incident. “These sentences hold them fully accountable,” said District Attorney Susan Treadaway, praising law enforcement’s bravery. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.

Aaron Kirkland explained that GSI uses Storm Water Management Practices (SMPPs) to slow and infiltrate rainwater, detailing their unit's responsibility for maintaining this infrastructure and their focus on talent development through the Community Apprenticeship Program, which recruits and trains individuals for entry-level positions. Aaron Kirkland shared their personal career journey and leadership philosophy, emphasizing the importance of mentorship, transparency with management about capacity, and motivating teams through quantifiable metrics and positive competition.

We had to try it. We couldn't help ourselves. And, can you blame us?!? Afterall, who can resist a $20 Barolo from Costco's Kirkland Brand, or Trader Joe's Diamond Reserve label?!? Not us, and we bet not you either. The question on your lips, of course, is “are the wines worth their $20 price tag?” Look, you need to listen to the episode to find out, but here are a few things that might entice you even further. First, the wines are both from Serralunga d'Alba, both have pretty decent ratings from online sources, and both are made by very reputable and well known Barolo producers. So what could go wrong?!? We'll give you our honest opinion about these wines, and we'll also tell you about what all the hubbub is about Barolo. BTW, if you didn't know, Barolo is considered by the majority of wine nerds to be the best of the best of Italian wines. We also have a scintillating wine in the news story about bribes and luxury watches, and an interview with a member of our tribe!

It is also available to buy in participating retailers in the Liverpool area. Chris Kirkland lived the dream, but the latter stages of his football career and initial years of retirement were a living nightmare. A boyhood Liverpool supporter, the one-time England international was just 20 years old when he joined his beloved Reds and became the most expensive goalkeeper in British history in August 2001. While untimely injuries ultimately stopped him from becoming first-choice at Liverpool, he played his part in the Reds winning the Champions League in 2005 and can look back on his Anfield career with pride. A move to Wigan Athletic followed in 2006 and he was the Latics' number one for four seasons in the Premier League as he enjoyed the best years of his career. But the wheels started to come off for Kirkland after joining Sheffield Wednesday in the summer of 2012. Already battling anxiety throughout his career, it was during his time with the Owls that he first developed an addiction to painkillers that left him fearing for his life. Ahead of the release of Kirkland's autobiography, ‘'Keeping It Quiet' - The Chris Kirkland Story', on November 17th, the former Liverpool shot-stopper joined Theo Squires for a special edition of the Blood Red podcast as he bravely opened up about his struggles with mental health and addiction. The 44-year-old also reveals all about the highs and lows of his Liverpool career, including the inside story of his dream move to Anfield, his injury struggles and why a troublesome relationship with Rafa Benitez proved to be the beginning of the end for Kirkland at his boyhood club. Chris Kirkland's autobiography, ‘'Keeping It Quiet' - The Chris Kirkland Story', is available from November 17. Pre-orders are available at www.curtis-sport.com.

And Kirkland tries a little tenderness. FedSoc does not. ----- The news that Kirkland had to teach its lawyers how to stop being mean to the private equity industry is incredibly funny. We're not saying Kirkland is getting a bad rap here, but when did corporate clients become such fragile snowflakes? The Federalist Society's annual meeting brought together the leading minds of the Trump legal movement to call for a "war" to impeach the federal judges -- many of them longtime conservatives themselves -- for not appropriately facilitating the administration. And the DOJ completes its humiliation in the D.C. sandwich thrower case by failing to secure even a misdemeanor conviction.

What if your clients chose your salon for the experience and results, not the name on the station? We sit down with Cindy Reynolds, owner of Mermaid Hair Extensions in Seattle and Kirkland, to unpack a brand-first, team-based model that turns marathon extension services into a smooth, three-hour transformation. Instead of booking a stylist, guests book the salon. The calendar reads “Team Mermaid,” the pricing is transparent and all-inclusive, and the systems guarantee speed, consistency, and hospitality.Cindy walks us through the mechanics: two to three stylists on a service, overlapping roles, and an apprenticeship pipeline that keeps prep and finishing seamless. When a client cancels or someone calls out, the brand absorbs the shock—appointments aren't tied to a single person, so the promise holds. That reliability survived a full post-pandemic rebuild and fueled a 65% surge in 2022. The Starbucks analogy applies: people return for the product and experience, even if their favorite barista moves on; consistency builds trust, and trust builds retention.We also dig into hiring and culture. Candidates choose between building a solo brand or joining a salaried team with strong benefits, paid medical, a 401k match, and predictable income. Mermaid offers flexibility—unlimited unpaid time off with notice—while holding firm to full-day shifts and daily huddles that keep the machine aligned. With high-ticket packages, a 1.5 stylists-per-column cadence, and clear roles, the business funds education, travel, and a real career path. Most importantly, the mission stays front and center: give women more hair, more confidence, and more joy—those “hugs and tears” moments that make the work matter.If you're ready to strengthen client loyalty, stabilize your book, and elevate your team's careers, this conversation lays out the playbook. Subscribe, share with a salon owner who needs fresh thinking, and leave a review to tell us which system you'll try first.To learn more about how Strategies can help you create more profit, fun, and growth potential for you, your business, and your team, schedule a free 60-minute strategy session:Schedule a free 60-minute strategy session: https://strategies.com/free-coaching-session Strategies: https://www.strategies.comSalon/Spa Business Coaching: https://strategies.com/memberships/In-Person Salon/Spa Seminars: https://strategies.com/seminars/Podcast: https://strategies.com/podcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strategies4biz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strategiesTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@strategies4bizThe Beauty Business Strategies Podcast is designed to give salon, spa, medspa, barbershop, and lash studio owners, just like you, quick tips to make more money, inspire your team, and create world-class client experiences.
In the 80's, 90's and 00's, the Greater Lansing area was abuzz with a ton of Blues music. In addition to the incredible local talent on hand, a small handful of people were responsible for doing a great deal of work, attracting out of town Blues musicians to play. Harry Oman traveled to the metro Detroit area, formed some partnerships, and brought some of the biggest names in Detroit's Blues scene to play at LeRoy's in Lansing's south end. A chance meeting with Eddie Kirkland led to a long lasting relationship that lasted until Kirkland's death in 2011. If you like great Blues history, complete with solid gold stories, this episode is a can't miss. Huge thanks to Harry for taking time to help us preserve these stories, too! _________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation

Send us a textOne year after the Texas Business Court and 15th Court of Appeals opened, and one year after our "Taking Care of Business" episode, Texas courts and Texas lawyers are still taking care of business. In this episode, Justice April Farris of the 15th Court of Appeals, Nick Brown (a member of the Texas Business Law Foundation), Tori Clark (a staff attorney for the Texas Business Court), and Stephen Kreider (Harris County DRC and Kreider Mediation), address different aspects of business law in Texas.

Just in time for the AI slop to take over. ----- Some law firms are handing out recruiting entertainment budgets to law students. While we don't fault law students some sweet walking around money, placing that power in the hands of students highlights the breakdown in the law school recruiting process and a real risk of baking more bias into hiring. Why has Kirkland memory holes its incoming partner class?

Just in time for the AI slop to take over. ----- Some law firms are handing out recruiting entertainment budgets to law students. While we don't fault law students some sweet walking around money, placing that power in the hands of students highlights the breakdown in the law school recruiting process and a real risk of baking more bias into hiring. Why has Kirkland memory holes its incoming partner class?

The sermon from The Oaks Church weekly gathering.
The predominant focus of this episode centers on the intricate dynamics affecting the residential furniture market, particularly the notable 13% increase in new furniture orders in July 2025 compared to the previous year. However, the episode elucidates that this apparent strength is heavily tempered by underlying challenges, including tariff uncertainties and a pervasive consumer sentiment that reflects significant economic apprehension. A staggering 75% of prospective furniture purchasers characterize the current economic landscape as poor or fair, leading to a cautious approach in their buying behavior, with many delaying purchases due to prevailing economic conditions. Furthermore, we delve into the evolving strategies of major retailers such as IKEA, which aims to enhance its logistical capabilities through technology acquisitions, and Bed Bath and Beyond's efforts to revitalize its physical retail presence amid these turbulent times. Ultimately, we assess how adaptability, consumer insight, and strategic supply chain management will be critical for industry players seeking to thrive amidst this complex and fluctuating environment.Takeaways: In July 2025, new residential furniture orders experienced a notable increase of 13% compared to the previous year, indicating a potential rebound in the market. Consumer confidence remains tenuous, with over 75% of prospective furniture shoppers perceiving the economy as poor or merely fair, reflecting significant caution in purchasing behavior. The escalation of tariffs has resulted in heightened uncertainty, compelling retailers to strategically front-load shipments to avoid impending rate increases. IKEA's acquisition of Locus, a logistics AI company, aims to enhance operational agility and reduce delivery costs, thereby positioning the company to better navigate supply chain disruptions. Bed Bath and Beyond's acquisition of Kirkland's Home signifies a strategic pivot towards physical retail and diversification of revenue streams through omnichannel strategies. As we approach the holiday season, the interplay of consumer sentiment, tariff pressures, and evolving logistics strategies will dictate market dynamics, creating an unpredictable landscape.
Biglaw capitulators face new challenge and James Comey gets indicted. ----- Perennially embattled Cooley Law School once again called out by the ABA over sagging bar passage rates. The school has been out of compliance with ABA standards since 2020, and now finds itself on probation with its accreditor. The last time something like this happened, Cooley sued the ABA into relenting. History is a flat circle. After learning that Paul Weiss and Kirkland were providing free legal services to the Commerce Department, presumably in an effort to satisfy their pro bono payola obligations, we wondered how this could possibly be legal in light of 31 U.S.C. 1342. Apparently, lawmakers wondered the same thing. And James Comey finds himself indicted after a whirlwind that involved removing the existing top federal prosecutor for refusing to file a sham case and replacing him with an in-over-her-head Florida insurance lawyer.
