Toni and Emily are talking with Bethann, who runs, and manages Orphans of the Storm. Orphans is a no kill animal shelter in Kittaning, PA. The builidng is located in a flood zone, that has caused devastation to their building, and animals in years past. They have acquired land above the flood zone and are raising over 4 million dollars to build out the safe and new facility of their dream. Toni and Emily have been volunteering, and organzing adoption events with Orphans since last Thanksgiving when they were asked  to help with Kongsgiving. Since then, Toni has been accepted on the board, and they have maintained a close relationship with Bethann and her Husband, Brian.  Bethann talks about the history of Orphans of the Storm, and how her mother started the organization because she saw so many stray animals get killed, or discarded in Kittanning. Since then, the rescue has stayed in the family, and has been a beacon of hope, sanctuary, and resilience for the community. Not only does Orphans take in local animals, but from other rescues and shelters in need. At any point in time, they house over 100 animals in their small facility. Orphans of the Storm is always accepting donations. They have three major funds: Their day to day expenses, including vetting, spay, and neutering, their new building fund, and a medical fund for dogs with severe medical needs and attention. They accept donations through their website, and you can also donate at any Healthy Pet Producst location. We are excited to be working together towards a goal of saving lives, and strengthening a community.   Direct any comments or questions to: Info@toniunleashed.com  Visit our websites: www.healthypetproducts.net / www.toniunleashed.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthypetproducts/ https://www.instagram.com/toni.unleashed/  Facebook: Thttps://www.facebook.com/HealthyPetProducts / https://www.facebook.com/ToniUnleashed  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAMxTEiHqRkpWNakn4OA__A  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healthypetproducts / https://www.tiktok.com/@toni.unleashed  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/HealthyPetProducts/ / https://www.pinterest.com/ToniUnleashed/  

"It's a bird! it's a plane! It's Debra Messing from Will and Grace?" Join BP, Coop and Justin as we discuss The Mothman Prophecies, the 2002 film that follows John Klein (Richard Gere), a reporter who researches the legend of the Mothman. Still shaken by the death of his wife two years earlier from Glioblastoma, Klein is sent to cover a news piece and ends up inexplicably finding himself in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where there have been sightings of an unusual creature and other unexplained phenomena. As he becomes increasingly drawn into mysterious forces at work, he hopes they can reconnect him to his wife, while the local sheriff (Laura Linney) becomes concerned about his obsessions. The film claims to be based on actual events that occurred between November 1966 and December 1967 in Point Pleasant, as described by Keel. It was shot in Pittsburgh and Kittanning, Pennsylvania and was released to mixed reviews.

It eventually went on to garner $35,746,370 in the U.S., and $19,411,169 in foreign markets for a worldwide total of $55,157,539.Critical responseAmong mainstream critics in the U.S., the film received mixed reviews. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 52% of 140 sampled critics gave the film a positive review, with an average score of 5.50/10. The site's consensus simply labels it "A creepy thriller that poses more questions than it answers". At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average out of 100 to critics' reviews, The Mothman Prophecies received a score of 52 based on 32 reviews. In 2003, the film won the Best Sound Editing: Music in a Feature Film award from the society of the Motion Picture Sound Editors.Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it two stars out of four, calling it unfocused, but praised the direction by Mark Pellington "whose command of camera, pacing and the overall effect is so good, it deserves a better screenplay." The New York Times critic Elvis Mitchell judged it "hushed and smooth" but "little more than an adequate shard of winter-doldrums genre fare". The Washington Post's Stephen Hunter dismissed it as "all buzz: It's camerawork on the verge of a meltdown and weird music in search of a composer", and joked seeing it "is like getting mugged in an alley by an especially thuggish crew of Method actors". In Variety, Robert Koehler claimed it "wanders away from its sustained atmospherics into silly expository detours". For The Guardian, Bob Rickard defended it as "an intelligent and creative exploration of the slippery, dream-like world of those who 'get too close'".Chapters00:00 Intro00:15 Title Sequence00:52 Introducing The Mothman Prophecies03:14 Overall Thoughts05:11 What We Liked09:58 What We Disliked18:33 Trivia20:40 Nambucca Heads Creature Folklore23:07 Trivia (Continued)24:58 Ratings25:41 Final Thoughts27:19 Thank You27:46 I'm Like a Bird#mothman #richardgere #nellyfurtado #imlikeabird #flanders #debramessing #aprilfoolsday #aprilfools #drawntogether #thesimpsons #meme #2000smovies #2002 #chaneloberlin #00shorror #thewaterboy #kathybates #familyguy #agathachristie #horror #movie #death #horrorfilm #splatter #deathscene #blood #gore #scarymovie #horror #completeguidetohorror #horrormovie #scary #creepy #graphic

I was contacted by our regional census directors to see if I'd be willing to have them on the podcast. Normally, I'm not sure I'd be interested in all of that, but this year is different, so I was excited to be joined by Dr. Dwayne Lehman on the show. The 2020 census is a big deal for Kittanning and Armstrong County. There is a lot of funding that rides on this census along with the fact that many people will be able to make $17 an hour or more by helping to complete the census.

It's been quite the journey to arrive at this point. We've done the research, we've analyzed the data, we've had the conversations, and we've received your feedback as well. This is the big reveal for what it takes to be one of the best small towns in America. I think the most exciting thing for me is that this looks achievable. We can do this! Let me know your thoughts in the comments and let's get connected and let's get to work. We only have 7 more years to meet this goal and there's a ton of work to do. I couldn't be more excited about the future and I can't wait to see what happens in all of these areas as we drive towards Kittanning 300. Have a blessed day and we'll see you real soon!

#BeyondtheBurgh is a series of podcast interviews recorded during my recent trip back to Pittsburgh, PA where I served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints more than 15 years ago. The footage of that trip culminated in the documentary film "Back to the 'Burgh" about my experience as a missionary in Pittsburgh. #BeyondtheBurgh is a bonus feature of the film as these interviews did not make the final cut of the film. But they are nevertheless a huge part of my missionary experience and thus a huge part of the untold story. The Eismann family were one of the first families I met when I got to my first area and starting meeting the people there. And they were one of the most special pieces of my experience in the Kittanning area and Freeport Ward. It's one of the biggest regrets of my life that it took me more than 15 years to make it back for a visit. But I'm glad that I did. And I'm glad that I can share a piece of that visit with you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This was our final list before the big wrap up episode in two weeks. We've been diving into some data from across our great nation to help put together a vision for Kittanning 300. We know we want to be on one of these lists by 2027. We also know what problems we are trying to tackle by that date. But these conversations are helping us to shape what our plan is lacking. I can't wait to hear your feedback on this one so we can include it in our final proposal in two weeks. Have a great day!

We reviewed another list on our journey to become of the best small towns in America. This one had another interesting finding.

In 1926, the quiet, small-town of Kittanning, Pennsylvania was descended upon by a mob of salesmen and hucksters selling solutions to a peculiar problem: a mysterious and inexplicable epidemic of baldness. This week, we look at the weird and wacky history of baldness cures, and the even stranger story of a town in need of them.

On the morning of September 8, 1756, a band of about three hundred volunteers of a newly created Pennsylvania militia led by Lt. Col. John Armstrong crept slowly through the western Pennsylvania brush. The night before they had reviewed a plan to quietly surround and attack the Lenape, or Delaware, Indian village of Kittanning. The Pennsylvanians had learned that several prominent Delaware who had led recent attacks on frontier settlements as well as a number of white prisoners were at the village. Seeking reprisal, Armstrong’s force successfully assaulted Kittanning, killing one of the Delaware they sought, but causing most to flee—along with their prisoners. Armstrong then ordered the village burned. The raid did not achieve all of its goals, but it did lead to the Indians relocating their villages further away from the frontier settlements. However, it was a major victory for those Pennsylvanians—including Quaker legislators—who believed the colony must be able to defend itself from outside attack, whether from the French, Indians, or another colony.

On the pilot episode, co-hosts Matt Petras and Iain Oldman welcome their friend Jon Andreassi. Jon served as the editor-in-chief of Point Park University's school paper The Globe (Pittsburgh, PA) in 2014. Currently, Jon works as a reporter for The Leader-Times in Kittanning, PA. The crew talks about what it was like for Jon to be the editor-in-chief in 2014, the term "fake news," and professional wrestling, although the show's producer Alexander Popichiak (fortunately) edited that last part out.

In 1756 the Colony of Pennsylvania was at war. With the incursion of the French, the Western Delaware peoples of the Ohio Country raided and burned the frontier villages of William Penn’s Peaceable Kingdom. Although the colonial government was staunchly Quaker and did not believe in a standing army, the efforts of Benjamin Franklin rallied the province into action. In September of 1756 Colonel John Armstrong led 300 frontiersmen into the wilderness to raid and destroy the Delaware village of Kittanning. Although celebrated at the time, modern historians question the Kittanning Raid’s true motivations and effectiveness. On this episode we discuss the Kittanning Raid of 1756.
