Scientists have tracked a steady climb in ocean temperatures since April. This is causing unprecedented heat stress conditions in the waters surrounding Florida and in the Gulf. More isolated marine heat wave conditions have been detected off the East coast, along the path of the Gulf Stream, which directly impacts North Carolina’s coastal waters. WRAL’s climate change reporter Liz McLaughlin joins us in this episode to explain why this is happening and how it could take a toll on our ecosystem.
The story begins when officers from a neighboring ship climb aboard to investigate a cargo ship's distress signal. They find bloodied decks, one crew member tied up, one crew member dead, and reports that all four of the ship's officers had been murdered and tossed overboard.The three men still alive were Black. The four dead officers were white.Would it be possible for the accused to get a fair trial in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1905?
This episode is the fourth in our series, “A Spark in Our Lives,” of The Arner Adventures Podcast, where we invite people who have lit a spark in us, on one way or another, who have inspired us, who have cultivated the life that they desire, whether that be due to overcoming certain circumstances, or are just going for their dreams. Jen Lee most definitely does that. Let us tell you about Jen Lee: Jen Lee is the owner of Island Produce here on the NC Coast, where we live. We met Jen when we first moved here, and we found her place to be really cool! Jen sources produce and other items from NC farmers and brings them to her locale in Atlantic Beach, for residents on the coast to access. This allows the farmers to continue to do what they do best, farm. Jen is not only just one of the coolest people we know, but she has a really cool story about following her dream which is why we invited her to the podcast this week. In this episode we chat about: How we met Jen, and why we immediately found synergy with her. Her background, drive, and entrepreneurial spirit! The struggles of being a single mother, working multiple jobs, the midnight oil hustle! What led her to shift her mindset away from teaching to opening a produce stand. The opening of Island Produce. What keeps her sane, and self-care practices, while working 7-days/week 9-months/year. Her travels to source produce and specialty foods across North Carolina. Jen gives back to her staff and the Earth. Jen answers our 10 rapid fire questions, and the most important question, “What does a life well lived mean to you?” Get your tissues, because this one is emotional.
