Tomorrow Is The Problem PodcastWelcome to the ICA Miami Podcast. Each season, we'll explore familiar concepts from everyday life that we often take for granted.We'll expand these concepts to understand their critical historical and cultural underpinnings and forever change the way you view them.Oceanic Ways of KnowingThe focus of this first season is the ocean as a source of knowledge. Understanding identity and history inevitably requires a study of the seas, the communities it affects, and the secrets it was made to hold in the deep.The Sea Is HistoryExamine the sea as a collective memory of violence, an underwater keeper of often obscured identity and meaning.Archaeologists Ayana Flewellen and Justin Dunnavant probe the relationship between the sea and human history alongside Master Diver and Marine Biology Ph.D. student Kelsey Sapp.From sunken slave ships to coral preservation as an act of trauma healing, listen in to this deep dive on the historical and symbolic meaning of our physical oceans.Time Stamps + Takeaways[0:00] The Guerrero — a short intro of humans and History lost to the sea.[4:22] Ayana Flewellen paints a portrait of the slave trade's monumental and poorly accounted for human losses — 1.8 million African lives, names, family lines, and stories were lost to the sea.[6:05] Diving With a Purpose is tasked with surveying maritime wrecks to document and preserve this History.[7:37] Justin Dunnavant shares his work uncovering traces of the African diaspora kept in the material record if not the written one.[9:43] Marcus Garvey's entrepreneurial spirit offers Justin an opportunity to reinvigorate a historical narrative that explores Black History and the relationship to the sea outside of the discussion of slavery.[11:13] Justin touches on the idiosyncrasies of underwater archaeology and the debate against western and colonialist practices on how we are meant to interact with objects of history, if at all.[14:56] On the undoing of norms in academia opening up exploration and the possibilities in a space — like the sea — that can never be fully owned.[18:23] Ethical commemoration as a goal can also be an environmental statement. Justin shares his and Ayana's idea on how to counter the Black death narrative with an underwater memorial garden.[19:30] Kelsey Sapp touches on her work in assisted coral migration and how she is participating in Justin and Ayana's vision for a living museum.[22:46] On the intersection of cultural and environmental preservation. Ayana fleshes out the underwater trans-Atlantic living monument project, moving it away from the spectacle of Black death and towards a meditative healing experience.[25:00] The somatic experience of Black divers recovering this History helps facilitate the transition of the narrative of the ocean as a space of Black death to one Black life.[29:00] Episode 2 is next: The Sea Is Future.Contributors + GuestsDonna Honarpisheh / Assistant Curator and Host.Ayana Flewellen / Black Feminist, Archaeologist, Storyteller, and Artist.Justin Dunnavant / Anthropologist, Archaeologist, and Historian.Kelsey Sapp / Ph.D. Student (Marine Biology) and Master Diver.This podcast was made in partnership with Podfly Productions.

Good morning, it's Monday April 19th and this is The Herald Review's Daily Chirp podcast. We're bringing you a closer look at one of our top stories, along with other important things going on in our community.    Today - According to Sheriff Mark Dannels the Mexican cartel has threatened deputies with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.   Before we begin, some local history.   John Harris Behanserved as the first Sheriff of Cochise County when the county was formed back in 1881. He was sheriff during the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.    Behan was known for his opposition to the Earps. And after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Behan testified at length against the Earps. He supported the Cowboys' statements that they had raised their hands and offered no resistance, and that the Earps and Doc Holliday had murdered three cowboys.    The Earps ultimately left Tombstone under a cloud of suspicion. Behan was later arrested for graft and failed to win re-election as sheriff. Eventually, he was appointed as the warden of the Yuma Territorial Prison and had various other government jobs until his death in 1912.   Today's history is brought to you by Benson Hospital - they're doing more than treating illnesses in Benson, they're building a healthier community. Benson Hospital is now collaborating with the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona to provide diaper assistance to families in need.

To enter the sweepstakes go to myheraldreview.com, again today's codeword is: PUDDLES   Now, our feature story.    Sheriff Mark Dannels recently stated that the Mexican cartel has threatened deputies with the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.   The sheriff shared the information with a small group of ranchers and homeowners gathered at the First Baptist Church in San Simon on Wednesday evening last week.    The meeting aimed to help residents learn more about the situation with undocumented migrants coming across the border from Mexico.   Dannels told the crowd that the Mexican cartel is extremely organized on both sides of the border and no one crosses from Mexico into this country unless they pay a member of that organization first. He also noted that recent decisions being made in Washington DC have actually empowered the cartel.   Another focus of the conversation was on the rising number of people coming to the U.S. illegally — including unaccompanied children.   In the Tucson Sector — which includes Cochise County — there were “encounters” with 7,079 unaccompanied migrant children in March. That's up 83 percent from March 2020.   Encounters with single, migrant adults trying to enter the country illegally also jumped in the Tucson Sector, with over 68,000 last month, compared to just over 21,000 in March 2020.   This ongoing issue has prompted several government and law enforcement entities to reach out to federal officials. Even the Western States Sheriffs Association of Laramie, Wyoming, expressed solidarity with the Southwest border sheriffs.   Following the meeting in San Simon we spoke with Dannels about the cartel threat and he told us that they've had threats. They're taking safety precautions to protect Cochise County deputies. He also noted that if there are any new developments he'll let the public know.   Then, on Friday, Governor Doug Ducey announced that Arizona would take matters into its own hands.   Ducey's statement came after the Arizona Department of Public Safety spotted 20 undocumented migrants in Chandler. The state agency said it was rebuffed by both the Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they asked for help. Ultimately, the migrants were released into Chandler. Ducey said that the Biden Harris administration needs to get its head out of the sand when it comes to the crisis at our border. In his eyes, this lack of action defies all logic, and flies in the face of the law.   Ducey continued to say that this administration is asleep at the switch, and their total lack of action is having real consequences here in the state of Arizona.   Ducey is hopeful that US Senators and Congressional delegation will join him in calling for the President to deploy the National Guard to the border.   It was then when he noted that if the federal government isn't going to do its job, then Arizona will take matters into our own hands and provide support to sheriffs and local law enforcement.    To stay up to date on this story visit us at myheraldreview.com   -   Thanks for listening, before we continue, a quick message from our sponsors, Prestige Family Living.    Now, we'd like to take a moment to recognize military children as April is the Month of the Military Child.

But as a military child, the first-grader is beginning to understand that people come and go and that a favorite house or school is not always permanent.   Elaina and her 5-year-old sister, Gabriella, are among the hundreds of thousands of military children around the world who are honored each April by the Department of Defense during the Month of the Military Child.   The event was created in the mid-1980s by then Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. The Pentagon and other military support organizations and agencies use the month to recognize military children for their sacrifice and bravery on the homefront.    While a lot of military youngsters get to live in places that many adults would never see, the constant change and upheaval can often be emotionally taxing.   But military parents say that the moves can also build resiliency. That's what Army 1st Sgt. Michael Hull, who is stationed at Fort Huachuca, says about his two sons.    Hull said his boys have always embraced the moves and the adventures that come with them.   But the Hull children are about to experience a bit more permanency in their young lives. In June, Hull completes his second year at Fort Huachuca. The 41-year-old soldier plans to retire and stay in Tucson. His oldest son started high school there two years ago and he wants to see him finish. His youngest is in fifth grade.   Meanwhile, the Calkins sisters are just getting started on their adventure. Their father, Army Maj. Robert Calkins, the battalion executive officer in the 309th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Huachuca, said moving to the installation almost three years ago was the first significant move experienced by his daughters.    Calkins said he's starting to see resiliency in both his children. They now understand when he has to finish work at home after a long day or if he's going to be a little late picking them up at the after-school center on the installation. But neither child can really understand the gravity of his work or that he commands 850 soldiers.   When he gets home he's just dad.    -   Next, an upcoming event in our community that you should know about -- brought to you by our sponsors, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative.   Music, art, and tacos! Six great bands, local artists, and tacos... not bad for a Tuesday!  Head over to The Jonquil Motel tomorrow starting at 4pm for live music by Juniper Djinn, Tapestries, Alex Wilkerson, John & Eli Beach, Horny Siren and Bad Shaman.    Primo's Outlaw Tacos will be slinging delicious grub, and La Fortuna will be onsite with premium herbals and ethnobotanicals.   Don't miss out on the live art and artisan goodies!    The event is BYOB and don't forget your masks, please! Suggested cover is between $5-10 to support the arts in Bisbee.   Finally - we'd like to remember the life of Steve Whitecotton of Hereford. Steve was son of the Bennie and Betty Whitecotton. He was born in Blytheville, Arkansas on November 14, 1952.   Steve was a 1971 graduate of Rivercrest High School and went on to attend Arkansas Tech University. In 1973, he joined the United States Air Force and proudly served his country for 15 years.   He attained the rank of Technical Sergeant before transferring to the Army in 1988, serving for 10 years. Steve was a Gulf War Veteran, serving with the First Armor Division and retired with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 2.   Steve enjoyed riding his motorcycle, he had his pilot's license, he enjoyed scuba diving as a Master Diver, and he loved tinkering in his shop on projects, and working on his “farm”.    His smile and laughter will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him, especially those closest.   Steve is survived by his daughter, his grandchildren, a brother, a sister, a nephew, his former wife and friend Pam, and his “adopted son” George and his family.   Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Steve's life.

Our guest this week is Jenni Cluskey, a Masters Diver who has reached her 70th birthday with the same enthusiasm for the sport and appetite for winning that drew her back in the early 90’s. Like any athlete she has faced her challenges, whether it be physical or part of the mental game that sport presents. She started diving at the age of 14 and three years later she was already qualified for national championships in the Highboard event. By the time she was 20 she earned a place on the Commonwealth Games team for Scotland where she finished 8th. And then she spent time in the Australia and New Zealand with different coaches and learning how different their system was for divers to that in the UK. She missed a chance to try out for the 1972 Olympic Games because she couldn’t afford the fare home which we learn was a mixed blessing given the massacre at the Munich games. Since returning to the UK she took a break from the sport but when she did pick it up again she began her Masters career with a vengeance competing at numerous European venues and finishing in the top three. This year the World Masters are being held in Gwanju, South Korea but Jennie has to be selective about traveling since divers are entirely self funded. She does however have her sights sent on the European Masters will be held in Budapest in 2020. For show notes and related links for this episode click HERE.
