That's a bit sensational, but it got your attention! Alea Nadeem is running for congress and she was kind enough to have a lengthy visit! We'll talk to the veteran about... Redistricting, being a political outsider, how she views Toledo after being gone for some time, bringing jobs back here, the opioid epidemic, being a Muslimolic, or that a Cathlim?! It was a delightful and long visit with Alea. First, my favorite part of Jeep Fest and someone finally asked the questions of Maumee. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We look ahead to a week 11 matchup with Maumee

The early voting center on Sylvania is less daunting than the crowds and cars would have you believe. I made one surprising choice with my ballot. After all that the app isn't live! Possible sewer water solutions in Maumee.  I understand the cheering for Deshaun Watson's injury. He DID have to deal with 2 dozen very serious lawsuits. Thanks Cucumber Guy.

Early voting is underway in Ohio; Cleveland TV reporter shot in a suspected domestic violence crime; nearly 200 arrests made in Columbus street racing and takeover bust; Columbia Gas gets the green light for Maumee pipeline.

Host Joe DeMare talks about the "Trapped in Maumee" movement. Homeowners have been hit with bills of $30,000 or more to replace their sewer lines, and been given only 90 days to do it. Joe talks about some financial strategies that could be used to soften the blow, but focuses on the necessity of stopping the flow of sewage into the Maumee. Then he reviews the new movie, "My Friend the Penguin." It's a heartwarming tale of a Brazilian fisherman who overcomes grief and depression when he rescues an oil soaked penguin, who then returns every year to spend the summer with him. Rebecca Wood talks more about mangroves. Ecological News is mostly good news this week, with huge strides being made by wind and solar around the world.

A crew from Toledo Area Bicyclists visit to invite you out to MARR - Mad Anthony River Rally. A ride out to Grand Rapids, next Saturday. Kelly, Joe and David were also willing to answer lots of my questions about how biking can safely and practically grow here in Toledo.  If you're interested in the MARR, you can visit HERE. First, why hasn't this person in particular received more criticism for the debacle in Maumee? 

Cincinnati teacher arrested for child pornography; settlement reached in Columbus shooting death of Casey Goodson Junior by a former sheriff's deputy; Ohio continues to add to record-breaking tornado count; fisherman in Toledo credited with saving a woman from the Maumee river.

Maumee, Ohio, winner of the 2024 Strongest Town Contest, is facing a big sewer infrastructure challenge. It needs to update its sewer system to comply with EPA regulations — an extremely large, expensive project. To handle this problem, the city is requiring residents who want to sell their homes to pay for the needed updates to their sewage systems, which is generating backlash from residents. In this episode of the Strong Towns Podcast, Chuck explains the history of sewer infrastructure, how the Clean Water Act affects cities and the very limited options that cities have to handle this kind of challenge. He also points out that the Strongest Town Contest is about celebrating cities that are working hard to improve, rather than finding cities that are perfect. Just because Maumee is facing this challenge does not mean that it's a failure — and it's not alone in this struggle, either. All cities are either facing this challenge, too, or will be facing it in the near future. That's the consequence of decades of unproductive growth. ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES Chuck Marohn (Twitter/X).

Maumee leadership apologizes for the sewer ordinance. Tax free shopping includes restaurants. Fast food workers are gonna get blown out. LOTS of Deadpool things. So, YES, spoilers. And Robert Downey VON DOOM!?

It's VERY crude, but I'm trying to offer solutions, which I haven't seen much of so far. Before that, Deadpool and Wolverine, but no spoilers - except the one that was intentionally leaked.  How are so many spending (we don't have) at these events!? Who's responsible for fixing the sidewalk? Depends on the tree. Building of the new jail has completely stopped. 

I'll save it for the end because 1. It may not affect you 2. It's not local. My sole criticism of the Maumee sewer drama. If the Home Run Derby is making news its NOT good, I love this MLB player even more every he shows us more Decoy. Futsal!? I'm a bit of royalty with this. Pizza Palooza preview. It's not gonna get much better. I was fortunate.   

There's no what!?  Sgt. McLendon and Ofc. Cervetto are back because you're running out of days to apply for the next TPD academy. Before they leave I ask them to dispel some common myths WE believe when it comes to police. First, the Maumee situation is a disaster. 

Host Joe DeMare talks about the continuing "lawnification" of the towpath park in Maumee. A caller bemoans the continued loss of trees as neighbors cut down big old trees for no reason. Our guest, Larea Sprow from the Ohio Invasive Plant Council talks about the ongoing efforts to hold invasive plant species at bay in Ohio. Rebecca Wood tells us all about strawberries. Ecological News includes "Nuclear Joe" Biden's insane push for more nukes and how Ford is offering leases on its electric pickup truck for $200 less than its gas guzzlers. 

5-7-24 Tonight at 9PM ET we will be talking with Christopher Clarke, Owner/Meadmaker at Four Fires Meadery and Head Brewer at HEAVY Beer Co. in Toledo, Ohio.  Chris got into making mead after first getting into homebrewing.  In late 2014  he took up homebrewing, a short half a year after first getting into craft beer. His brewing buddy at the time, Mack Garton, and he would brew every single Monday for a year and a half, and somewhere halfway through that they made their first meads. In the next few months he would meet a new friend group and eventually went in on a mead together. Of that group, 4 of them continued further and began making meads as a collective, to share amongst the group as a whole. The 4, Andrew Lynch, Athreya Rajan, Josh Kirk, and Chris would go on to form Four Fires Meadery! In 2015, Chris had his first mead, B. Nektar's Episode 13, and was in love. He jumped in and made his first mead just a month later. That same year, he met the other Four Fires guys at a local craft hideout called the Local. They kept meeting at Chris's place, and continued their confederation of mead makers who wanted to create a meadery. Their first group project that year was Hail Satin. In 2016, they made meads, and homebrew beers, and enter contests, taking some awards and started forming the base business plan, and reaching out to angel investors, and worked on looking for a location.  Chris's enjoyment of craft beer, and meads intertwined with the fun he was having homebrewing, and eventually professionally brewing, seemed to have been accelerants for one another, so in the time between making his first mead, the meadery opening, and now, a LOT has changed.  In 2017, Chris was hired as a production brewer at Maumee Bay Brewing Co. with the intent of revitalizing the portfolio. Later that year, Four Fires signed a lease on their building, and work began immediately on converting the space into a production facility. And the first mead found its way into the tanks in early 2018. As they neared their first release, Four Fires gained visibility amongst mead lovers with them getting some of their pre-production mead out there for people to try.  Join us to check in with Chris and see what Four Fires is up to!
