Simon Gale, Director of Racquets, USTA National Campus Simon Gale is at the top of our industry. As the Director of Racquets at the USTA National Tennis Center in Lake Nona, Florida, Simon oversees four head professionals and nearly one hundred courts across the campus. From hosting national USTA league finals to teaching locals on a daily and weekly basis, Simon has taken the USTA National Campus to new heights. And this month, he's taking it to new sports. Padel and Pickleball are set to be a part of the scene at the Lake Nona facility, which houses also the USTA National Junior Development program. Add this to all the events that the campus hosts, it's one bustling place and Simon supervises all of it. He's excited to see where the two new racquet sports being offered might take tennis in the future. He sees the various racquet sports aligning to help build participation in each. We catch Simon at an interesting time. Coming out of the pandemic, the National Campus will be able to host travelling tennis players once again. Although there is a healthy number of locals, both adults and juniors, who use the facility, upwards of 40 percent of usage is from players not from the Orlando area. Simon is readying his staff of approximately 40 certified teaching professionals for the task of seeing more players and more hours on the court. People Management Simon's philosophy and his experience up and down the East Coast of the United States from Connecticut to Brooklyn and now down to Florida has led him to ask the question when hiring a member of staff: "How's your people management? Can you build a team?" Simon has been forced to build an enormous team of instructors, with four head professionals alone, on staff at Lake Nona. He wonders if the pathway for teaching professionals might be too simple and asks what we as an industry can do to change that so we broaden the experience of up and coming professionals. He points to the need for people management not only while working with his own staff, but also dealing with the hundreds of events that the National Campus hosts each year. The team of event planners at Lake Nona is quite large and working with them and visiting groups, companies and teams all force Gale to manage people more often than he gets to teach tennis. "Being a good instructor should be a given at our level." But being a good manager of staff and clients is a constant learning process.

"I don't think people recognize the level of play in college tennis, even down to Division III, and the dual match is the exciting piece." This week is all about college tennis, a sector of the sport that has been hit the hardest by the pandemic. Tim Cass, the general manager of the USTA National Campus, joins the show to discuss the importance of college tennis and what's being done to help it survive and grow.  Cass has been the general manager since 2016, when the sprawling 100-court facility opened in Lake Nona, Fla. He brought his own tennis-rich background to the job, having played at the University of New Mexico before starting a coaching career that included a decade at Texas A&M.  He stresses how important college tennis is for the general ecosystem of the sport, and how hard programs have been hit in 2020 with tennis the No. 1 most-affected college sport. The dual season ended abruptly in March, and since then, nearly 60 programs have been cut at all levels, including 17 at Division I.  The USTA is a huge support system, and the National Campus is hoping to host the 2021 Division I NCAA National Championships as well as looking to become the first facility to host all three NCAA National Championships in 2023.  College tennis has become a proper gateway to the pros with the likes of John Isner, Steve Johnson, Danielle Collins and Jennifer Brady leading the way. Cass discusses why that is, while also highlighting what improvements could be made to make college tennis even more TV, fan and player friendly in the future.  Watch TENNIS.com Podcast episodes on YouTube and Facebook.

National Campus Safety Awareness Month September is National Campus Safety Awareness Month and each year Clery Center provides professional development resources and learning opportunities to support your work on campus. Learn more about this year's theme and connect to this year's resources below. The Same, Yet Different In the wake of COVID-19 and an advancing civil rights movement, institutions around the nation are reaffirming their commitments to campus safety. As communities wrestle with a new normal, the Clery Act remains the same— a call to action. This September, Clery Center will highlight how the Clery Act can serve as a guidepost, centering conversations around personal and campus safety following the historic events of 2020. Whether examining the increase in reports of intimate partner violence during lockdown, or the uptick in hate crimes and bias-related incidents, the Clery Act can serve as the barometer to examine campus climate. There is little doubt that 2020 will go down in history. So, please plan to join us this September to explore the Clery Act's continued relevance as we enter a fall semester that will be the same, yet very different.

Let's find out what Simon says! We talk fall programming with USTA National Campus Director of Tennis Simon Gale, who also provides insight on COVID-19 procedures and staff training.

The long awaited overhaul of Canada's broadcast and telecommunications acts came another step closer to realization last week with the release of the report "Canada's Communications Future: Time to Act." The report was commissioned in June 2018 by the Trudeau government because the current acts are outdated, especially because of all the changes that have happened because of the internet. The report has been a year and a half in the making, and recommends sweeping changes to everything from the structure of Canada's broadcast regulators, to fixing Canada's broken news media and how Canadian content will be funded. And of course, what to do about Netflix, which is the part of the report that's getting the most attention. Today's guests on rabble radio are Barry Rooke of the National Campus and Community Radio Association and Cathy Edwards, executive director of the Canadian Association of Community Television Stations and Users, also known as CACTUS. They say they're disappointed that the non profit community media sector was barely included in the report.  Victoria Fenner talked to them yesterday. Disclosure: Victoria Fenner works with Cathy Edwards at CACTUS. You can also read Karl Nerenberg's take on the policy review document last week on rabble: "Trudeau Must Not Ignore Bold Report on Media in Internet Age."

"I can never want it more than the athlete, like it starts and ends there. If they're a pro [with] all these opportunities that they have, which I envy a lot, the life of a pro athlete is pretty incredible. But I can't want it more than them." The 2020 season of the TENNIS.com Podcast kicks off with USTA strength and conditioning coach Craig Acker.  Based in Lake Nona, Fla. at the home of American tennis, Acker works with players of all ages and levels. He played an integral role in helping CiCi Bellis get back on the court after her four arm surgeries, and worked with Reilly Opelka well before he made his way to the Top 40.  He tells us about his day-to-day life in the gym at the USTA National Campus, and the rewards and challenges of working out for a living. His job requires a lot of attention to detail with each player having different needs and goals. He gives us his opinion on tennis players doing Olympic weight lifting, and the importance of having a full team to help an injured player properly recover. And how much of his job involves yelling at players to run faster or lift more? Luckily for Acker, he works with an inspired group of players that don't need to be pushed to work hard.  Watch the TENNIS.com Podcast episodes on YouTube and Facebook.

For a long time, many campus and community stations have considered themselves to be a force for social change in their communities.  So, once again, they're using their airwaves towards that end. 1. Facts are Free is a collection of public service announcements that are being aired on campus and community radio stations across the country in the weeks leading up to the election. The non-profit and charitable radio sector in Canada has launched a campaign to raise awareness about climate change and environmental issues facing Canadians. The campaign is called Facts are Free and it's been created in cooperation with with Environmental Defence and the VX3 Exchange. Luke Smith is a learning and development officer with the National Campus and Community Radio Association. He talked to Victoria Fenner. 2. Canada's youth have the opportunity this election to shift the political landscape considerably. For the first time in Canada's history, millennials and Gen Z make up the largest voting bloc — 37 per cent of the electorate — so there is a lot of opportunity to force politicians to focus on youth issues that are otherwise ignored. If youth come out to vote, there could be far reaching consequences. Whether they'll take advantage of the opportunity remains to be seen. Future Majority is an organization set up to work towards that end.  Shreya Kalra is working as a field organizer with Future Majority. As a part of this campaign, she's been speaking to about 100 students everyday at Seneca College's Newnham campus about the issues that are affecting their everyday lives. She took a break from organizing to talk to rabble radio on October 2, 2019. Image: Victoria Fenner

Ottawa – The National Campus and Community Radio Association/l’Association nationale des radios étudiantes et communautaires (“NCRA/ANREC”) has thrown its support behind We Choose, a campaign sponsored by the watchdog group FRIENDS of Canadian Broadcasting. Canadians support and understand the need for vibrant Canadian media and worry about the scourge of misinformation delivered by social media. FRIENDS’ We Choose campaign is putting that support on the political map as the federal election approaches. Erin Flynn, CHUO Station manager (left), Daniel Bernhard, FRIENDS’ Executive Director (centre), National Campus and Community Radio Association Exec. Dir. Barry Rooke (right). “Our political leaders need to know that voters strongly support public service broadcasting, especially local services, and understand the indispensable role of local voices in our democracy. FRIENDS recognizes that our member stations deliver a vital public service. That’s why we are supporting this essential campaign,” says NCRA/ANREC Executive Director Barry Rooke. “We will be encouraging our members and supporters to participate in FRIENDS’ campaign in any way they can,” says Rooke. FRIENDS is distributing We Choose Canada, We Choose CBC and We Choose Canadian Journalism lawn signs in 22 battleground ridings to demonstrate the full extent to which voters will support policies – and politicians – that strengthen public service broadcasters and all Canadian media. Volunteers in these ridings are taking the campaign to community events and are also briefing candidates one on one. “We are extremely pleased that the NCRA has thrown its support behind this campaign,” says FRIENDS Executive Director Daniel Bernhard. “The NCRA represents a very important group of public service broadcasters who help to keep our democracy alive and our communities connected in increasingly difficult conditions. Canada needs this campaign to succeed, and with the NCRA on board, our prospects for success have markedly improved.” Canadian journalism is gravely endangered. During the past ten years, thousands of journalists have been laid off. 250 media outlets have closed, many in small- and medium-sized communities with few alternative sources of news and information. Meanwhile, CBC/Radio-Canada remains one of the most poorly funded public broadcasters in the developed world. “Our democracy needs more journalists and local media,” says Daniel Bernhard, Executive Director of FRIENDS. “It’s time for Ottawa to support our media and end the special treatment that gives foreign media giants like Facebook and Google an unfair advantage over our own media.” The federal government has acknowledged the journalism crisis. But Ottawa’s bailout package is grossly inadequate compared to the magnitude of the problem. And it does nothing to deal with the root source of the problem: the flight of advertising revenue to foreign digital publishers which Canadian tax policy actively encourages. This major oversight has been noted by the journalism organizations asked by the federal government to help design the bailout program. FRIENDS of Canadian Broadcasting is a non-partisan watchdog group supported by 364,000 Canadians that works to keep Canadian story-telling and journalism strong on air and online. The National Campus and Community Radio Association/L'Association nationale des radios étudiantes et communautaires (“NCRA/ANREC”) is a not-for-profit national association working to recognize, support, and encourage volunteer-based, non-profit, public-access campus, community and native radio broadcasters in Canada. Our goals are to ensure stability and support for individual stations, and to promote the long-term growth and effectiveness of the sector. More than 100 campus and community radio stations across the country belong to the association. -30- For information: Jim Thompsonjim@friends.ca 613-447-9592 NCRA/ANREC Contact: Barry Rooke barry@ncra.ca 613-321-1440

Ed Ryan, Director of Medical Services at USTA Player Development, joins the podcast to talk about his role at the National Campus and how the athletic medicine team works to support the players. The episode tackles what players go through psychologically after an injury and/or surgery and what goes into a successful return to play. The importance of communication through the return to play process is highlighted as well as an optimal mentality about training and how a player can stay motivated post-surgery or injury.  Episode Transcript: https://bit.ly/34wieOY  Learn more at www.playerdevelopment.usta.com Twitter: Dr. Larry Lauer - @LarryLauer Coach Parkes - @johnnyparkes1 Instagram: Team USA Tennis - @teamusatennis Coach Parkes - @johnny_parkes

Podcast #185 – Funding Change Threatens Canadian Community Radio Stations by Paul Riismandel on March 19, 2019 in College Radio, Community Radio, International, Podcast, Podcasting Audio Player   Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | More A change in Ontario university funding rules threatens more than a dozen campus community stations in Canada. Barry Rooke, executive director of the National Campus and Community Radio Association is our guest to help explain the situation. He explains how the structure of Canadian community and college radio stations differs from those in the U.S. and elsewhere, and why these differences make some stations north of the border vulnerable to changes in the way student fees are allocated. Barry also offers advice to campus stations on how they can better gird themselves to survive funding threats. It’s advice that’s useful to community and college stations anywhere. Our Patreon supporters can hear more of our conversation with Barry in a bonus episode. We get nerdy about Canadian radio arcana, like networks of unlicensed stations broadcast by First Nations.

There are many media workers in Canada who got their start at community based campus radio stations. That possibility may not exist in Ontario if the Ford government's new plan for student fees is implemented. Ontario-based campus radio stations are fighting for their lives. The Ford government's surprise Student Choice Initiative will have a direct impact on campus based community radio stations, and some of them may close altogether. Even though campus and community radio stations are independent non profit organizations, most are heavily dependent on student fees to pay the majority of the bills. The Student Choice initiative has the potential to severely cut into the revenue that stations need to survive. Barry Rooke is the executive director of the National Campus and Community Radio Association. They're deep into planning their annual conference in Toronto from June 4-6. In the midst of their planning, they've had to shift focus and mount a campaign to deal with this critical situation. There will undoubtedly be a lot of strategizing at the conference about this, but there's no time to waste. The reforms are slated to come into effect this coming September so they're planning now. Barry Rooke talked to Victoria Fenner about how the fee structure works and what could happen if the Ford Government's new idea is implemented.  Image: Volunteer in Campus/community radio station CKMS in Waterloo, 2003.

Media industry is in trouble. For a long time now it has been shedding jobs and converging into ever larger corporate entities where profits outweigh any residual sense of responsibility to small communities for whom a local paper is often a necessity. Are there solutions? In this episode we will bring you interviews with journalists working a community owned paper in Blyth, Ontario and a co-op station in Nelson, BC as well as a conversation with two researchers from the Caribbean islands of Curaçao and Aruba studying journalism practices in small island settings.

Tomorrow is the deadline to submit comments to the federal government about what we'd all like to see in a new Broadcast and Telecommunications Act. The government's goal for the review, as stated on its website, is “to update and modernize the legislative framework in a balanced way that takes into account the realities of Canadian consumers and businesses, and our artists, artisans and broadcasters without increasing the cost of services to Canadians.”  It's a little known fact that there are three categories of broadcasters which form the pillars of the current Broadcast Act. We hear a lot about the CBC and private broadcasters, but not so much about the third pillar, community broadcasting. In many ways, not-for-profit community-based radio and television is still this country's best kept secret. Canada's community radio and television organizations have been working hard to build up the sector's profile, and to secure their position in the new Broadcast Act. The National Campus and Community Radio Association is one of those organizations. The two French community radio organizations — L'ARC du Québec (Community Radio in Quebec) and L'ARC du Canada (Francophone Community Radio in the rest of Canada) — as well as CACTUS (Canadian Association of Community Television Stations and Users) are also part of the community media landscape in Canada working for greater recognition of the community media sector.  Barry Rooke is the Executive Director of the NCRA.

February is one of the worst months to be homeless in Canada. Temperatures plunge and it seems like winter will never end. It's a harsh reality for thousands of people in Canada. That's why community radio stations across Canada have chosen February as the time for their Homeless Marathon.

Luke Smith is with the National Campus and Community Radio Association. He talks to rabble podcast exec producer Victoria Fenner about how the idea came to be, what you'll hear and how to listen.  If you live in one of the 14 communities across Canada taking part, you can listen onair.

We're very proud of the fact that a lot of our podcasters at the rabble podcast network have their roots in community radio. A lot of our programs on the rabble podcast network are rebroadcast on community radio. On rabble radio 167, we're going to focus on community radio — both here in Canada and also in a couple other parts of the world. Because there's so much that we share with our comrades on the airwaves… we're doing media our own way, for our listeners and our communities. Not the advertisers. Over the past year, the rabble podcast network has developed our relationship with the National Campus and Community Radio Association and now have their ambitious news program, Groundwire, as part of our podcast network. Barry Rooke is the NCRA's new executive director about new directions in radio and new media. He talked to Victoria Fenner about what campus and community radio is doing to integrate new media into what has been traditionally, one-way communication over a transmitter. Continuing with our community radio theme, Frieda Werden of the Women's International News Gathering Service podcast and radio show prepared this feature this month on community radio in Ghana. And it begins with a community radio song! Women and Community Radio in Oaxaca — Loreto Bravo is a feminist hacker and anthropologist. She currently coordinates Palabra Radio, a collective based in Oaxaca, Mexico that uses community FM radio and other communications technology as tools of struggle. They have a special focus on women's and Indigenous peoples' rights and liberation. In this excerpt, Loreto Bravo spoke about the 2006 uprising in Oaxaca, Mexico which lasted more than seven months. It resulted in the deaths of more than 17 people. She began by talking about what happened the day that women took over the airwaves.

Thanks so much to Gary Karhonen (aka GAK) for filling in while I was at the National Campus and Community Radio conference in Winnipeg. From the looks of the playlist, Gary provided an amazing and eclectic taste of folk, through his lens. (*please note: there may be a 'dead air' gap/glitch, we are working on fixing that)Enjoy and see you on June 19,Val folkoasis
